When Shen Xiaofeng heard that Tan Si's murderer had been found …
Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Her expression didn't look too good either. "Old Yun, this … what's going on?"
Yun Mocheng looked at her through the smoke. "What's going on? You're asking me? This question … I should be the one asking you, right? "
Shen Xiaofeng sensed the doubt in his tone and became a little uneasy. She hurriedly stood up, and her actions were a little abrupt. With a crash, she knocked over the cup on the coffee table …
She immediately bent down to clean it up.
In her absent-mindedness, she cut her fingertip.
Yun Mocheng forcefully stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. "Why are you panicking?"
"I … I'm not!"
Commander Yun smiled bitterly. "Old Shen, we've been husband and wife for many years, but we still can't be honest with each other … Forget it, I won't say anymore. Your cousin is now at the entrance of the military zone, waiting for you to pick her up!"
After he finished speaking, he strode into the study.
When Shen Xiaofeng saw her husband's back disappear into the living room, she stopped what she was doing. She squatted down and stared at the shards in a daze. After a long time, she shouted for the housekeeper, "Auntie Feng, come over and clean this up!"
The housekeeper agreed repeatedly and jogged over to clean up.
Only then did Shen Xiaofeng turn around and put on her coat. Taking advantage of the night, she quickly walked towards the entrance of the military zone.
From afar, she saw a woman standing outside the guardhouse. She looked about 60 years old and was dressed in old-fashioned clothes. She wore a blue cotton-padded jacket with black crotch free cotton pants. Her hair was combed into a knot at the back of her head, and she wore a large scarf and a large mask. Her entire person was covered up tightly.
When she saw Shen Xiaofeng, she hurriedly waved her hand vigorously. "Over here!"
Shen Xiaofeng quickly walked up to her, and an "exceptionally" warm smile hung on her face. "Cousin, why are you here? Why didn't you call me in advance? I could have sent a car to pick you up? "
That woman took off her mask … Probably because she walked too far, the cold air she exhaled condensed into frost on her eyelashes. The wrinkles on her face crisscrossed, and her skin was dry and dull. She couldn't be considered to have taken care of herself. At one glance, she looked like a woman who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. "Feng, with my life, how can I take a car? Forget it! How could I trouble you again? As for Xiao Si's matter … You've been running around for the past two years. I already feel bad enough! "
Shen Xiaofeng pulled her to the door. He wanted to ask her something, but when he saw so many people coming in and out, he swallowed his words. "Cousin, where are you staying this time?"
The woman smiled embarrassedly. "I haven't found a place to stay yet. I'm planning to find an underground guesthouse. It's better to spend less money!"
Shen Xiaofeng pondered for a moment. "How about this? I'll arrange for you to stay in the military guest house. You know that even though I'm married to a commander, the military doesn't treat family members that casually! Besides, Old Yun is busy with work and needs a quiet environment. It's not convenient to have so many people at home! "
After saying that, he didn't hesitate and took the woman's hand … to the guest house.
The woman's name was Li Dahua. She was Tan Si's mother and Shen Xiaofeng's distant cousin … She lived in the city a few years ago. Later, her husband died and her family declined, so she moved to the countryside.
She had four children, two boys and two girls. They didn't live a good life. Other than Tan Si, who didn't do proper work, the other three were real farmers. They didn't have much ability. So after Tan Si was killed, although the family felt sorry for him, they didn't have the ability to stay in the city to urge the progress of the case. So, this matter was handed over to Shen Xiaofeng.
The two of them entered the guest house and got a small room.
Li Dahua felt alive when the heater in the room was turned on. She sat on the bed and took a deep breath … After all, she was an old woman. She had been on the road for a whole day. She was cold, hungry, and tired, so it was needless to say that she was tired.
Shen Xiaofeng probably knew that she was poor and couldn't bear to spend money. "Cousin, have you eaten today?"
"Mm! I've eaten! When I left home, I specially brought two big pancakes and a pickled vegetable lump. I found some hot water in the afternoon and ate it! I'll have dinner later! "
In other words … she still wanted to eat the big pancakes.
Shen Xiaofeng turned around and went out to inform the waiter to make a bowl of noodles. After a while, the noodles were served. "Cousin, warm up first. We'll talk later!"
"Mm!" Li Dahua sniffed hard. "This … smells so good!"
She rubbed her hands on her knees. "Xiaofeng, have you eaten? Why don't we split it? "
Shen Xiaofeng waved her hand impatiently. "Hurry up and eat! After you're done, let's talk about serious matters! "
"Mm!"
Li Dahua began to slurp the noodles.
Shen Xiaofeng sat beside the desk and supported her chin with one hand, looking at her absent-mindedly.
Li Dahua looked up and glanced at her. "Mm? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? "
"Nothing!" Shen Xiaofeng couldn't hold it in. "Cousin, why did you suddenly come to the city?"
Li Dahua wiped her mouth and swallowed the last mouthful of noodles. "Yesterday, someone from the Public Security Bureau called me …"
"You answered the call yourself?"
"No! They called the village and the village chief told me … the Public Security Bureau asked me to come here immediately. They also said that the murderer of Xiaosi's death has been identified and they need the cooperation of the family members … "
It's settled?
Shen Xiaofeng was anxious and didn't wait for her to finish. "Why didn't I hear about this? I've been following up on Xiaosi's death. If the Public Security Bureau has any news, they should inform me! Why do they need you to come here yourself? Unless … "
She stopped talking …
She felt cold sweat all over her body …
Li Dahua sighed to herself. "Sigh, I'm just too embarrassed to trouble you all the time. Also, to be honest, I'm also worried. After all, Little Four has been dead for two years. When I heard that the murderer was found, I wanted to come up and take a look myself! Aye! My Xiaosi died an unjust death! He can't rest in peace even if he's a ghost! Sometimes, I see him in my dreams, crying to me while bleeding from all his orifices … "
"Stop talking! What the hell? I don't believe in such things! " Shen Xiaofeng interrupted her sternly. "Just keep it short. Did the Public Security Bureau say anything specific?"
"No! So … I'm going to take a look tomorrow! "
"Mm!" Shen Xiaofeng's gaze was a little empty. She crossed her arms and was in a daze for a while. "How about this? You should settle down early tonight. I'll go to the Public Security Bureau with you tomorrow!"
"Mm! Xiaofeng, I can't do this myself. I'm afraid I don't understand! It's good to have you by my side! Xiaosi's injustice will be redressed! "
"Mm," Ren Xiaofeng replied absent-mindedly and stood up. "It's getting late. You should rest early. I still have things to do at home! Wait for me to pick you up tomorrow. We'll listen to what's going on together! "
She didn't stay any longer and left the guest house.
On the way back, the sky was a little dark. She accidentally stepped on a piece of ice and fell on her butt … She rubbed her waist and didn't get up for a long time. She felt weak all over and her heart was thumping wildly. She quickly took out a heart saving pill from her pocket and put it in her mouth.
She looked up at the gloomy sky … It felt like a big black net was wrapping around her, making her unable to breathe.
**
Mi Xaing 'er and Yun Jingting were eating hotpot. Both of them were in a good mood. Yun Laohu suggested, "We can't be happy without alcohol. Let's have a drink?"
"No! With my alcohol tolerance? If I finish drinking … I'm afraid I won't even be able to watch the movie. You can send me straight home! "
Yun Laohu was "flirting" with the steam in the hotpot. She licked the corner of her mouth naughtily. "Going straight home is good! We can watch the movie next time! Mm … Let's have a deep conversation. We can just lie in bed and have a simple chat! "
Simple?
How can you be simple in bed?
Mi Xaing 'er kicked him under the table. "In your dreams. We haven't even drunk and you're already dreaming?"
Yun Laohu was kicked, but he still smiled happily. He was in high spirits and rolled up his sleeves … revealing his muscular forearms.
Mi Xaing 'er didn't dare to look at him …
She deliberately avoided his gaze, but she still couldn't escape the "sexy" "memory" … On their wedding night, the man had his arms around her and both of his arms were by her side. A thin layer of sweat seeped out of her pricked muscles. The sweat slid down her skin and dripped onto her chest.
She felt her face turn red and her heart beat faster. She hurriedly picked up the cup and took a sip of the cold drink in a panic. When she lowered her head, a strand of hair naughtily fell to her temples.
Mi Xaing 'er reached out her slender fingers and tucked her hair behind her ears.
The soft light in the room shone on her ears … From Yun Jingting's angle, her ears were delicate like small transparent ingots. The tips of her ears were a little red, as if it was a spring tide after a passionate night.
Yun Laohu felt an unbearable impulse in her body. She couldn't help but call out softly, "Xiang 'er …"
She didn't say anything else. The desire in her eyes said everything.
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head shyly …
She suddenly felt that if this went on, she might really fall for him tonight.
She coughed softly and deliberately changed the topic. "Tiger, I heard that … Dalong is going to enter the military academy?"
"Huh? Yes! He can be a platoon leader after graduation! "Yun Laohu raised her eyebrows." Why are you talking about him? "
She pondered for a while and laughed. "Hey, is he trying to pursue Liu Yani but didn't dare to say it himself, so he asked you for help?"
Smart!
Yun Jingting sighed. "Actually, Dalong is a good kid! He has three younger siblings who are still underage. His parents only earn work points. How much money can they have? Dalong sent all his allowance home for four to five years. He only keeps one yuan a month at most. Other than daily necessities, he doesn't buy anything else! "
"…"
"He joined the army at a young age and has always been in the military camp. He hasn't seen the outside world … For so many years, he has been by my side. I already treat him as a younger brother. If I don't help him plan his future, I won't feel at ease!"
"…"
The two of them chatted endlessly while eating hotpot … They could talk about anything, but they could also not talk about anything. The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious and warm.
Seeing that it was almost time for the movie to start, Yun Laohu stood up. "It's almost time! Let's go? "
She picked up Mi Xaing 'er's coat from the back of the chair and carefully put it on her body. She took the opportunity to hug her quietly.
Mi Xaing 'er looked back and smiled sweetly. The soft lighting in the room outlined her facial features and made her look more beautiful and lively.
Yun Laohu lowered her head and smiled back. She didn't say much and naturally revealed her happiness.
The cinema was not far from Dong Laishun. After turning two streets … they could see the dim yellow neon lights from afar.
In that era …
Watching a movie was probably the only entertainment activity. There were quite a lot of people.
Mi Xaing 'er deliberately distanced herself from her husband and followed behind him, following the crowd.
Just as they went up the stairs, Yun Laohu unexpectedly pulled her back. He lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in front of them. "Hey, Xiang, look! My second sister! There's a man beside her! "
Ah?
This is something new!
Mi Xaing 'er quickly followed his gaze …
Sure enough …
Yun Jingqi walked slowly in the crowd. Her tall and slender figure was particularly outstanding … She was wearing a long black coat and a thick long scarf around her neck. Her long hair was loosely tied up, and one could vaguely see the snow-white skin behind her ears. Even if it was just a quick glance, one could still see her elegant and graceful temperament.
Indeed, there was a man beside her.
The man was dressed in casual clothes, but judging from his upright figure and the way he walked, he must be a soldier, or had been a soldier … He was half a head taller than Second Sister Yun. When he talked to her, he bent down slightly and listened attentively. He was full of gentlemanly aura. At first glance, one could tell that he was an educated and well-educated person.
The two of them were not too far apart, but they were not too close either … There was some ambiguity. They were not colleagues, but they were not lovers either. They were probably somewhere in between.
Mi Xaing 'er looked sideways at her husband. "In my opinion, Second Sister is going on a blind date, right?"
Yun Laohu secretly admired his wife's observation and judgment. "There's nothing wrong with going on a blind date. My sister is already in her thirties. How much youth does she have left?"
He pulled Mi Xaing 'er's hand and winked mischievously. "Let's go! Let's go take a look. What does this man look like? I'm really interested to see if he can make my sister come out to meet him! "
Mi Xaing 'er hurriedly pulled him back. "Don't! You and I … um, I'm not ready to meet an outsider yet! "
Yun Jingting hesitated for a moment … Although he knew that Mi Xaing 'er was unwilling to disclose their relationship, there was nothing to hide in his heart. At the same time, he felt that not introducing his wife would be disrespectful to her. "I think …"
Mi Xaing 'er obviously knew what he was going to say. She directly interrupted him. "If you want to persuade me to meet an outsider, I won't dawdle with you. I'm going home now!"
She turned around and was about to walk back.
Yun Laohu pulled her back. "That's enough! I'll listen to you. Let's just watch from the side, okay? "
Without waiting for Mi Xaing 'er to reply, he quickly pulled her to a commanding height. From the side, she glanced at the man beside Yun Jingqi and couldn't help but be stunned. "Staff Officer Xia, why is it him?"
Staff officer?
To be honest …
Mi Xaing 'er was also curious and took the opportunity to size up the man … He was graceful, had a generous attitude, and could be considered dignified. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a broad forehead. Although he wasn't as exquisite as Tong Che or as domineering as Yun Laohu, he was still considered a man with outstanding looks.
But then again … Tong Che was of mixed blood. Ordinary people really couldn't have his deep-set facial features and silhouette.
This man was already considered not bad … He was about the same age as Yun Jingqi, about 30 years old. Looking at his dressing and clothing, his family background was also quite good.
Mi Xaing 'er turned her head. "Tiger, do you know him?"
"Not really. We've met a few times and nodded to greet each other!"
Mi Xaing 'er was indeed concerned about Yun Jingqi's marriage. She couldn't help but ask softly, "What exactly is that person like?"
Yun Jingting pondered for a while before answering, "I personally don't agree with my father's actions, but this time I'm on his side!"
"Ah? You mean … "Mi Xaing 'er was also smart. She roughly understood when she saw Second Sister Yun's expression." This time, it's your father's plan to force her into marriage? "
Yun Laohu nodded. "Yes! My second sister looks quite independent and strong, but in fact, she's the most soft-hearted and has a strong sense of family. From what I remember, ever since she was young, no matter what request anyone in the family had, she would 'bow her head' and do her best to fulfill it! I guess … it's the same this time! She probably couldn't win against my father's various' forcing and cheating 'strategies, so she came out for blind dates. "
He continued his train of thought. "However, my father has good taste this time. I've heard a little about staff officer Xia's qualifications. His family background is quite good, and he's very capable. He's the only 'doctor' staff officer in the military region! His future will definitely be limitless! "
Doctor?
In that era … it was really too rare.
No wonder Cloud Ink City would "stop" this eligible bachelor for the sake of his daughter at the first instance.
Yun Jingting narrowed her eyes. "I'm thinking … if Tong Che knows about this, what will he do?"
----- Digression —
Oh my, my love rival is here!
Tong or Xia … who is Second Sister's Mr. Right?
