Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 20 Conversation
"Sorry, Comrade Fang Xiaoya, I just moved here today and there is no hot water."

"It's okay, Brother Erheng, I don't want to drink, you can just call me Xiaoya."

"Small...forget it, I'll call you Fang Xiaoya, you said just now that you wanted to tell me something, what is it?"

He thought it was okay to be a man, but the girl still wanted to marry, so kind, he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and let others gossip behind their backs.

Bringing up the business, Fang Xiaoya sorted out her mood, and said, "Brother Erheng, that's right. What I want to talk about is about Uncle Li and Brother Xiaoyuan, about their accident."

Hearing this, Li Heng raised his hand to interrupt her, and looked up at the gate: "Da Mao, let's talk later, I have something to say here."

It turned out that Xu Damao was walking this way. He stopped when he heard Li Heng's voice, and smiled, with a very obscene expression on his face. He also noticed that there was a girl sitting with his back to the door, and he thought It was Li Heng's partner, but he didn't go any further, and turned around to look at the bicycle.

Seeing him leave, Li Heng sat on Fang Xiaoya's side with a stool, and asked her to turn around too, so that the girl sitting on the other side could notice the outside.

"Fang Xiaoya, do you want to say that the explosion was not an accident, but man-made."

"Brother Erheng, you...you know?" It's really surprising that he knew.

"After I came back, I went to the explosion site and looked around. The site didn't look like it was after the accidental explosion of the boiler, but more like it was created by a bomb directed blasting."

"You can see this?" Fang Xiaoya was even more surprised now. She didn't see it by herself, but heard it from other people's gossip.

"Is this difficult? If it was really a boiler explosion, then it should be an indiscriminate attack..." Li Heng stretched out his finger and drew on the ground as he spoke, explaining to her the information he had obtained from that observation.

"So, from this, I judged that the explosion should be made intentionally. As for who? Why did it make this explosion? I believe you should be able to think of it."

Fang Xiaoya nodded slowly after listening: "It must be those spies who want to destroy our good situation."

"Can you do me a favor."

"Brother Erheng, tell me."

"I just came back. I don't know Sijiucheng well, so I don't know who to contact. I heard from Xiaofan that you work in the Public Security Bureau, right?"

"Yes, but I'm a clerical worker, and I usually help organize files and the like."

"Well, it's okay, can you help me find out whether the bombing case has been solved or not, and whether anyone has been arrested."

"Brother Erheng, why are you asking about this?"

"Of course I want to avenge my father and Xiaoyuan." Li Heng's face was very calm, and there was no slight ripple when he said that he wanted to take revenge, as if it was a very trivial matter.

"But... but Brother Erheng, there is a special unit to take care of this kind of thing. Isn't it good for you to investigate in private? What if it causes people to misunderstand and arrest you?"

It's a trivial matter for him, but not for Fang Xiaoya. Is it so easy to investigate privately and secretly?

"Don't worry, I will definitely be very careful. By the way, if you want to inquire, don't ask anyone specifically. When chatting with others, just casually chat. Your colleagues should know that you and Xiaoyuan They won't suspect anything about the seemingly unintentional chat about the engagement."

It's really courting death to ask this kind of thing on purpose. If it's not that there is no one to use, he really doesn't want to drag this girl into trouble.

"I...I know."

In fact, Fang Xiaoya is not stupid. If she was stupid, she would have rushed over to ask about this matter by accident, and she would not have stayed alone for so long.

"Thank you, Fang Xiaoya, I won't keep you, don't forget the bag you just took, it's on the cupboard."

"Okay, I understand Brother Erheng, you...you have to protect yourself."

She understood that they didn't want to drive her away, they were just worried about other people's gossip. After all, their identities are a bit embarrassing. It would be fine if they were just ordinary friends, but the reality is not...

In fact, she has long wanted to escape from here, to escape from this familiar yet unfamiliar house, from this elder brother who looks exactly like her fiancé, just seeing this face will cause a ripple in her heart. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

After speaking, Fang Xiaoya stood up, picked up the bag on the cupboard, and walked out as if fleeing, forgetting to say goodbye. As for what her father said, she had long since forgotten about it.

Li Heng was taken aback by her actions, and then raised his hand to touch his face, shaking his head helplessly. His face was given by his parents, and he couldn't control it.

He wasn't used to looking at the girl's star face for a long time, and he always felt very awkward. Now that he finally left, he could also breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the people in the yard who were still discussing bicycles enthusiastically, he got up and walked out.

To be honest, he couldn't understand why the people in this yard didn't buy bicycles.

The third uncle can't afford to support the third mother and four children, he can understand.

The same is true of the second uncle, and it is understandable not to buy it.

Needless to say, the situation of Jia's family and He Yuzhu's family, they must not be able to afford it.

The Liu family in the upside-down house, and the Guo family in the backyard house, they both work together to earn money, and they both raise two children. Their lives should be relaxed and happy. Why don't they buy it?
There is also the uncle in the middle courtyard, and Xu Damao's family in the backyard. The financial situation of these two families is obviously much better. Dad Xu seems to be a cadre. What do they think?

I can't figure it out! I can't figure it out!
Li Heng shook his head and walked to the bicycle. When everyone saw that the Lord was coming, they all complimented him.

He took it with a smile, took out cigarettes from his pocket, and distributed one to each of the men present.

Fortunately, the third master didn't mention the radio, otherwise he would have a headache for a long time.

They didn't leave until it was meal time. Li Heng pushed the car directly under the eaves, and then started to light the stove.

This kind of coal-fired stove is much more difficult than a honeycomb coal stove. After working for a long time, I finally turned on the fire. Now I can cook and boil water.

I put all the things I bought in the cupboard by category, and stuffed the clothes and the blanket I brought in the bag into the cupboard. After tidying up everything, I started cooking.

I just moved today, so I rewarded myself with steamed rice for lunch.

Just buy the ham, cut it into two slices and arrange it, and just fry an egg.

It can't be done otherwise, he didn't buy other vegetables, he had to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables, and they were gone when he went late.
