Chapter 247 Fireworks
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the air.
They lasted for a long time in the quiet night, even more enthusiastically than during the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, there are all kinds of food, drinks and entertainment, and fireworks are just a backdrop. But at this time, it is the most eye-catching existence.
Many people leaned their heads out to look at the sky, surprised at who was so generous that they could enjoy such beautiful fireworks on a normal day.
"Brother Ze, this is what a few of us collected to show our appreciation. Please don't look down on us for being shabby. After all, we haven't married yet!" Jiang Qingnan said with a smile.
"Thank you very much."
"Oh my god, Brother Ze thanked us, it's so corny, I can't stand it, let's go eat roast lamb."
Song Ruize smiled and looked at Qin Huiyin, only to see that Qin Huiyin was cutting mutton for the child who had stolen her purse, and was carefully blowing it to cool it down before feeding it to him.
"Sister..." The child hugged her waist and looked up at her. "I wish you were my real sister."
"Then just treat me as your own sister." Qin Huiyin touched the top of the child's head. "You ate a little too much cake just now, so eat less mutton. Be careful of indigestion."
More and more children surrounded Qin Huiyin. Seeing that Qin Huiyin was entangled and couldn't get away, he called her and the children dispersed.
Qin Huiyin handed him the cut mutton: "Try it."
"Don't spoil them." Song Ruize said, "You are so busy that you can't be with them all the time. If they take it seriously and bother you frequently, you won't be able to handle it."
"They have been wandering since they were young. They are much more mature than children of the same age. They know when to advance and when to retreat and understand the signs. Such things as you said will never happen to them. They long for family affection and the feeling of having a home. Why should we let them down?" Qin Huiyin said, "Even if it is only for a moment, just a small memory of their childhood life, it is enough to warm them for a lifetime."
"You are so young, but you speak like an old woman. If you don't know me, you might think you are an old woman in a child's body."
Qin Huiyin: “…”
A little offended.
Although she wasn't a little old woman, she was an adult woman in her twenties, which seemed... a little old to him at fifteen.
Then isn't it a bit disrespectful of the elderly for her to call him brother every day and act cute and coquettishly around him?
"I'm telling you, actually... I'm a spirit in the forest." Qin Huiyin leaned over and said mysteriously, "I'm 357 years old now."
Song Ruize poked Qin Huiyin's forehead: "You are disrespectful."
They had a great time today, and stayed up late until dawn. Qin Huiyin decided to give them a collective holiday so that they could have a good rest.
Song Ruize was lying on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all, his mind was clear. He stood up, stood in front of the window, and let the wind blow on his cheeks.
On the second day, Song Ruize sent Qin Huiyin back to Chuan Chuan Xiang.
When the two arrived, Li Taohua and others had already entered the city.
When Li Taohua saw Song Ruize, she stuffed the things in her hand into his arms: "I made it myself. If you don't like it, I'll give it to someone else. If you like it but it doesn't fit, I'll modify it for you."
"What is this?" Qin Huiyin opened the bundle. "Wow, this is new clothes made by my mother. Brother, change into them now and take a look."
Song Ruize was pushed into the side room by Qin Huiyin.
After a while, Song Ruize came out wearing a dark blue robe.
"It looks great, and it fits him well. Mom, you have a good eye." Qin Huiyin praised, "My brother usually wears either gray or black clothes, but my mom has good taste, this color suits him very well."
Song Ruize said: "Thank you, Aunt Li."
"You have a conscience." Li Taohua's lips curled up. "You have a lot of things to do at the dam, so I won't delay you."
"Brother, be careful on the road."
After Song Ruize left, Li Taohua said, "Your eldest brother saw me rushing back for him yesterday. Have you thought about your eldest brother's birthday next month?"
Qin Huiyin blinked her eyes: "It's Big Brother's birthday. It will be very lively with so many of us celebrating for him."
"As soon as we entered the city, we heard from people in the city that there were fireworks last night, which lasted for a quarter of an hour. Some people were asking around to find out which official's wedding was so grand."
"The fireworks were bought by Brother Ruize's men, not arranged by me. If big brother likes it, we can set them off when the time comes." Qin Huiyin said.
"Is this about fireworks? You're so smart, you don't need your mother to teach you, right? Alas, sometimes being too popular can be a problem. My girl, just go and have a headache!"
Qin Huiyin: “…”
As soon as Song Ruize entered the dam, Chen Yong strode over to him.
"I was just coming to find you."
Chen Yong and others returned in the early morning.
"Something happened?"
"Song Tiegen is dead."
Song Ruize said calmly: "Although I hit him hard, I'm sure I didn't hurt his vital parts. What's more, you gave him medicine, it's impossible for him to die overnight."
"Yes. Someone else had been to the place where he was imprisoned and had inflicted new wounds on his body, hitting his vital parts. Brother Ze, could it be Qian Baotou?"
"He is indeed the most suspicious, but he is not the only one who wants to make life difficult for me in this dam." Song Ruize said calmly, "Who was the guard yesterday? Go and question him."
"I asked, the kid had diarrhea and went to the toilet several times that night. I don't know anything."
"Do you think his diarrhea is a coincidence? Since there are traces, we can find it out." Song Ruize said calmly, "I'm going to the county government office, you guys deal with it first."
Qin Huiyin's business was booming and she was busy from morning till night. When she remembered that she hadn't seen Song Ruize for several days, five days had passed since Song Ruize's birthday.
She thought Song Ruize was also busy, so she hesitated for a moment and decided not to disturb him. A few days later, she heard about Song Ruize again from the diners.
"He became the chief dam leader at a young age, but he turned out to be an evil spirit who killed many people. He is now in jail, and the government is investigating the matter. In my opinion, such a demon should be sentenced to death."
"The one who died was his own cousin. How could there be such a person in this world who would even kill his own family? I heard that he was born a poor boy. He killed his mother when he was born and his father a few years later. His second uncle's family took good care of him, but he was not only ungrateful, he also killed their only son."
Qin Huiyin slammed the table and said coldly: "Did you see him kill people with your own eyes? Did the people underground crawl up and tell you that they were killed by evil spirits? Are you a monk or a Taoist priest? How can you know so much about the dead?"
"Boss Qin, what's wrong with you?" The customer was startled.
"If you have the time to gossip about other people, you might as well do more work and help your wife share the burden. This morning, your wife came to sell vegetables and earned twenty cents, but you drank it all in one gulp of wine. Don't you feel ashamed?" Qin Huiyin put her hands on her waist and scolded fiercely.
