This time, the director did not point out the mistake, and Lao Zhen also knew. The director’s intention was just to make him collect some money. Lao Zhen said, “Who doesn’t want to live a good life? I won’t think those financial matters are all mine to give to the government. I’ve been working on this matter all the time. If the government asks me to cooperate with reporting corruption, I will absolutely speak without hesitation. But I have indeed done many good things. I started this foundation, allowing the elderly in Yanbian County to receive different levels of treatment. This can’t be belittled! I also donated materials to the fire district, all with verifiable evidence. I also established a university student entrepreneurship fund. Besides that, the public welfare evening party, I have always been very proactive.”
“Oh, you have done good deeds for Old Bai,” the director said. “Merit is merit, and passing is passing. A child can’t do good deeds all the time. Don’t think that by doing a few good things, you can be considered a good person. Listen to me, I’m a police officer, and I don’t dare to say I’ve never done anything bad. We’re all the same, sleeping on a wooden bed, working as a temporary worker. Put your brain on the chopping board; today you might die, and tomorrow you might be transferred to me. No one should laugh at anyone.”
Lao He looked at the summer, then looked at Yan Bei, both seeming to have their mouths sealed, not saying a word.
Lao He suddenly spoke: “I have a number. Little Jia is my sworn brother. Who dares to touch him, the old man will turn over first!”
Jia’s wife revealed a light and elegant smile: “Go to your sworn brother.”
Lao He turned over the summer and glanced: “Go away!”
Without throwing the machine, Lao He borrowed the source of his difficult determination. The director comforted the summer, telling Old Bai that this child had no intention of harming you, so be at ease. He knew you couldn’t squeeze out oil and water. Looking north, is this how it’s calculated? The director waved his hand: those who should be caught have been caught, Old Lin has already fled, and this matter might end here, not being a major case.
Yan Bei felt he hadn’t helped Jia’s wife, and started looking for ways to make money for the summer.
“Find some profitable projects, and I’ll approve them. You’ll definitely find something.”
Jia’s wife said: “Little Bai supports me well. I’ll first sell mushrooms, and when I’m short on money, I’ll definitely find you.”
“Having power doesn’t mean abusing it! Who knows if I’ll still be here in a few years.”
The director didn’t like hearing this: “North, don’t compare yourself, those debts you owe will definitely be recovered, just wait. The old lady will give you a top.”
“I want to leave with research. The old lady has nothing to do with me.”
“What are you leaving for? Don’t you know?”
“I just don’t want to be with her. Such a woman and I will definitely die early. Seemingly, I didn’t borrow her money, right? Every day following her, it’s like I owe her.”
“Old sister-in-law is all about calculating. This kind of man can’t even see clearly.”
“I know they calculate, but am I willing to discuss it with them? I just don’t like it.”
“Okay, I know you like Xiao Nian. Why don’t you chase Xiao Nian and see? If Xiao Nian responds, you can get married. Xiao Nian is much better.”
“Can’t rush to get married, I want to have sincerity. Let’s talk about marriage later.”
Jia’s wife strongly agreed: “Agreed, don’t be hasty. After this, you can chase Xiao Nian, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li are all good, that’s your freedom.”
Yan Bei started to be uncertain again. Regarding marriage, when everyone around praised the idea, he always changed from excitement to retreat. This was too big, and there were mixed emotions.
Unexpectedly stable, a child would pass through the ordinary days.
If Song Zhuang contacted a few sources in Beijing and maintained progress, these few bars might become new customers. But she was a bit lonely, feeling awkward looking at Xiao Ruo, hoping the summer would return to Beijing with her, but Jia’s wife had been delaying for nearly two months and hadn’t come up.
When a single young woman rents a client, it’s easy to give someone a certain hint and is extremely easy to understand. Gu Hexuan wanted to make a move, letting Ruojiao bring Su Xiaoruo to appear together. Su Xiaoruo’s greatest advantage was that when she discovered the scene was relatively formal, she would never hesitate. Therefore, this combination of three women of different sizes made the client’s heart hidden.
Gu Hexuan’s alcohol tolerance was shocking, and Ruojiao was also a drinking enthusiast. Not long after, a saying of “mother-in-law’s wine” spread, and the client rarely saw her confidence, never avoiding alcohol. After drinking to her heart’s content, even after meals, the mother-in-law would not bring a man home, but instead find some clubhouse to play mahjong. This was her expertise, and she was quite good at it. The client was still in a daze after the social gathering.
Su Xiaoruo had been playing tricks on the side. Every time someone called at night, people always wanted to call Su Xiaoruo to eat together, and some people would even tease her, saying her father would give her a hundred yuan. Su Xiaoruo would just laugh. After laughing, she would take the hundred yuan and give it to Yun Yangruo, saying, “Little Ruo, I can also earn money.” Later, Su Xiaoruo would find her father and shout, “Dad, I’m telling you that you gave me a hundred yuan.” People found this game amusing. Su Xiaoruo’s dad became more and more enthusiastic.
Dao Ge did not approve of their method of pulling clients, but could do nothing about it. Su Xiaoruo said on the phone, “My dad is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and those are all big eggs.”
Dao Ge was more direct: “How’s dad doing? Not much meat, giving money is a hard road. Isn’t it because I’m negotiating with Yun Yangruo, you exchanged two women to bring a child to try?”
Dao Ge only answered the phone, and Yun Yangruo said, “I haven’t found enough meat yet. When I find it, I’ll sell myself.”
Dao Ge was extremely welcoming: “Come quickly, I’ll wrap a red envelope for you.”
Yun Yangruo asked, “Why haven’t you come over yet? We all want you.”
Dao Ge couldn’t go. These three women were about to collapse. He was almost healed, so Dao Ge took the nursing base after cleaning up and then went to Beijing.
He was missing a right hand’s index finger, which made Gu Hexuan and Ruojiao stunned, but she quickly recovered calmly. People were still there, alive. Four people were eating hot pot at home, their joy melting.
But by evening, Gu Hexuan was still habitually wearing Su’s clothes to sleep. She bought a new bed for Ruojiao. Two beds were placed in the bedroom, with a low cabinet in the middle, somewhat like a hotel standard, but different in that both beds were double beds. Ruojiao slept with Su Xiaoruo, while Gu Hexuan still slept half a bed alone.
Dao Ge was very satisfied. He asked if he should bring the bed from Yunnan to her. Gu Hexuan said no, believing she would return.
Dao Ge sat on the floor between the two beds drinking, with Ruojiao on the left and Gu Hexuan on the right. This summer was very hot: could they spend a summer like this? They waited for her to be willing.
“Old Sky is so good to me,” Summer said. “Really too good.”
Dao Ge said, “Old Sky is also very good to me.”
Su Xiaoruo was the echo: “Old Sky is also very good to me.”
Yun Yangruo laughed: “Old Sky is best to me.”
Yun Yangruo and Su were very familiar, so her laughter made Dao Ge feel more at ease, and some of Su lived in Yun Yangruo’s body, so Yun Yangruo’s smile was double.
