Siheyuan: Lao Liu appears, everyone is confused

Chapter 184: Visit, deaf old lady reselling gold
"Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhao."

"Haozi, are you here?"

"Is this the target? Come in quickly!"

"Xiao Li just told me yesterday that you were going to bring your partner here. I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhao, this is my partner, Zhu Yingxue!"

"Aunt Wang, hello Uncle Zhao!"

"Hey, the girl is so handsome, Haozi is so lucky..."

"..."

After eating outside, Wang Hao estimated the time and went with Zhu Yingxue to visit Wang Hongying and his wife at their home.

But soon, after noticing what Wang Hao was carrying, Wang Hongying, who was originally smiling, straightened her face and criticized: "I have told your sister so many times before, don't bring anything with you when you come home. , you are following your sister’s example now, isn’t this forcing us to make mistakes?”

When Wang Hao heard this, he could only explain: "Aunt Wang, I just have some pastries and fruits, nothing expensive.

In the past, those were all my sister's wishes. Now that I have finally worked and have my own income, it's my first time to come to the door. I can't go empty-handed, right?

Besides, I'm not asking you to do anything. It's just the concern of the younger generation for the elders. You can't go above and beyond! "

When he came here before, Wang Jing had brought him with him, and Wang Jing had prepared all the gifts. Now that Wang Hao brought Zhu Yingxue here, it was really his first time to prepare it.

"You kid..."

Wang Hongying was helpless.

Wang Hao said so, but Wang Hongying was not ignorant. The pastries and fruits he brought over were not cheap in this era.

Even with their family's conditions, they can't be taken completely seriously.

If we really want to be more serious, if we stick to our principles, we may not be able to accept it.

It's just that to her, Wang Jing and Wang Hao, siblings, are no one else, they are treated almost like nephews and nephews.

Moreover, in recent years, neither Wang Jing nor Wang Hao had really asked him to do anything. Only some time ago, Wang Jing asked him about repeating and the second college entrance examination.

This kind of situation is relatively rare, but it is not impossible, and the policy does not prohibit it, so there is no need for her to help find connections through the back door or anything like that.

"Haha, Hongying, just accept it! Haozi also has a lot of thoughts."

Zhao Xingguo on the side persuaded him cheerfully, and then said to Wang Hao: "I happen to have two bottles of Fenjiu there, take them with you when you leave, Haozi."

This is obviously a "return gift".

Accepting the things Wang Hao brought over obviously did not refute his reputation as a guest, but asking him to bring two bottles of Fenjiu when leaving was naturally in order not to violate the principle of "equal exchange".

"Uncle Zhao, if you say this, it will make me look like you are here to take advantage. These things of mine are not as good as your fine Fenjiu."

Wang Hao had no choice but to say: "If you have time or are in a good mood another day, call my brother-in-law and we will come to your door to have a drink with you."

Because he knew that Wang Hongying and Zhao Xingguo were both very principled people, he didn't pick anything expensive this time, just some pastries and fruits.

For ordinary people, it is completely affordable, but at most difficult to buy.

But this is not that difficult for them.

The things Wang Jing brought home before were even simpler. They were nothing more than some internal benefits from their food factory, or mountain goods or pickles sent by her brother-in-law and his family.

Otherwise, Wang Hao would want to give Zhao Xingguo some good cigarettes and wine.

It’s just that I knew I wouldn’t accept it, so I didn’t make any unnecessary preparations.

When Zhao Xingguo heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Then we agreed, you and Wei Guo will come over together sometime. I haven't had anyone drink with me for a long time."

"That also requires Aunt Wang's consent."

Wang Hao did not agree directly, but looked at Wang Hongying aside.

"You kid..."

Now it was Zhao Xingguo's turn to be helpless.

If Wang Hao brought out the fact that his wife was used to him drinking, wouldn't it be a loss of face for him?

However, Zhao Xingguo didn't feel any disgust in his heart. Instead, he felt kindly.

After all, his son is in the army and can only come back for a few days a year. In addition, he is busy with work, so there is usually no one to talk to them.

Only Chen Weiguo, his former subordinates, would come over occasionally.

Wang Hao had been here with Wang Jing and Chen Weiguo many times before, but his temper had always been dull and he didn't take the initiative to communicate with him much.

It seems that since starting work this year, Wang Hao has become more outgoing and eloquent.

The last time the two met, it was because Wang Hao was reported. They were in the steel rolling mill at the time and had official duties. The two did not have much time to chat privately and reminisce about the past. However, Zhao Xingguo had already felt the changes in Wang Hao at that time. In addition, his wife occasionally mentioned this to him, so Zhao Xingguo didn't feel any discomfort.

suddenly.

Wang Hao found that there were still uneaten meals on the table in the room, and they were still warm. It was obvious that Wang Hongying and Zhao Xingguo had been having dinner when they came to the door.

"Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhao, you guys eat so late, you can't neglect your health when you're so busy with work!"

Upon discovering this situation, Wang Hao couldn't help but said: "If Brother Xingmin knew that you were like this, he would probably be worried by then."

The Xingmin brother Wang Hao refers to is naturally the son of Wang Hongying and Zhao Xingguo, and their only son. He is just three or four years older than Wang Hao. He is currently serving in the army and does not come back often.

"Hey! It's not as serious as you said." Feeling Wang Hao's concern, Wang Hongying felt a little warm and helpless, "I've eaten it a long time ago. It's your Uncle Zhao. I've told you countless times, but for the sake of There’s nothing I can do about work.”

He originally avoided the meal, but unexpectedly he bumped into her. Wang Hao didn't want to delay others' meal, so he had to say: "Uncle Zhao, please eat first! Let's chat with Aunt Wang first."

"Row!"

Zhao Xingguo smiled when he heard this, not pretentiously, he was really a little hungry.

No accidents.

When Wang Haowai Zhu Yingxue came to visit, Wang Hongying inevitably asked about Zhu Yingxue, and also talked about how they met, and also talked about how she and Zhao Xingguo established a revolutionary love together at that time.

Anyway, it’s just commonplace chatter.

Listening to Wang Hongying and Zhu Yingxue chatting, Wang Hao acted as a compliment and occasionally livened up the atmosphere.

For a time, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The start of today's home visit was obviously extremely smooth and harmonious.

This was also what Wang Hao expected.

Whether it is Zhu Yingxue or Wang Hongying, they are both excellent, and they are not the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so naturally there will be no conflicts and no friction.

soon. Wang Hao started chatting with Zhao Xingguo, who quickly finished his meal to fill his stomach.

He mainly talked about the current situation of his brother-in-law Chen Weiguo, as well as some topics about public security.

After all, I am engaged in this field of work, and I can't leave my profession in three words.

While chatting, Zhao Xingguo suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Hao: "Haozi, Yi Zhonghai from your hospital came out a few days ago. Do you understand his recent behavior in your hospital?"

"Yi Zhonghai?"

Hearing Zhao Xingguo suddenly mention the other party, Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the news he heard at the steel rolling mill at noon, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhao, couldn't this Yi Zhonghai be caught by you? ?”

If so, then Yi Zhonghai is really "returning to his hometown for the second time."

"you know?"

Zhao Xingguo was stunned for a moment.

Wang Hao, who also reacted, quickly explained: "Someone called the steel rolling mill in the morning to learn about the situation, and I happened to be there."

After all, I am an "outsider", and it may be confidential to some extent. If irrelevant people know too much, it will inevitably give Director Zhao Xingguo some ideas.

It was hard to say that someone from the security department told him, so Wang Hao could only find a reasonable reason.

Otherwise, they would have tricked Xu Shengli and the others who had spread the news to him.

Although I still know it from the Security Department, the nature is different.

I believe that Zhao Xingguo will not investigate this matter specifically.

After hearing Wang Hao's explanation, Zhao Xingguo was relieved.

After the last time, he understood to some extent that Wang Hao's status in the steel rolling mill was not that of an ordinary worker.

Not to mention that he also has a brother-in-law in the factory. After all, he is his old subordinate. He has his former comrades in the security department, and now he has been transferred to the small car class to drive for the factory leaders. Together with his brother-in-law Wang Hao, he is better informed. Also normal.

Zhao Xingguo is principled, but not rigid.

Moreover, this is not a confidential matter, and it itself requires the assistance of the steel rolling mill.

"Speaking of Yi Zhonghai, I don't pay much attention to it. Although we are in the same courtyard, I am in the front yard and he is in the middle yard. We usually don't have much contact with each other. You also know what happened before..."

Having said this, Wang Hao paused and continued: "Originally, he was the eldest son of our hospital, but after he came out last time, the position of the eldest son of the hospital was taken back by the street. He has been very honest these days. Other than that, I I don’t know.”

Zhao Xingguo nodded when he heard this.

"By the way, Uncle Zhao! Among the people you arrested during yesterday's operation, there was an old deaf woman with intermittent deafness, and a man named Silly Zhu, who is also from our hospital. Do you have any impressions?"

I didn't want to talk about this at first, but after Zhao Xingguo mentioned Yi Zhonghai who was arrested today, Wang Hao couldn't help but think of Silly Zhu and the deaf old lady last night.

I don't know what happened to them.

"You even know this?"

Now Zhao Xingguo was really surprised.

"Ha, it's a bit of a coincidence." Wang Hao explained helplessly, "Last night I went to my partner's house to visit her parents. When I came back, it happened to be a little late. I happened to encounter last night's action. Silly Zhu and Deaf When the old lady and the others were arrested, they had something to do with me."

Zhao Xingguo didn't understand this.

And at this time.

As if she heard the content of their chat, Wang Hongying couldn't help but walked over and said to Wang Hao: "Haozi, that old lady in your hospital is probably going to be in a lot of trouble this time."

"Aunt Wang, what's going on? Is it convenient to disclose it?"

Wang Hao couldn't help but be curious.

"It's not inconvenient at all. The matter has been clarified. The reselling of gold is not a small problem." Wang Hongying couldn't help but shook her head and said helplessly, "Originally, I planned to go to your courtyard tomorrow, but I don't want to You know what to say, there are a lot of things going on in your courtyard during this time..."

Seeing Wang Hongying unable to complain, Wang Hao was in a daze.

Sell ​​gold?

Shouldn't it be reselling food stamps?
In the original play, reselling food stamps was a common thing for deaf old ladies. How did it become reselling gold?
But after thinking about it, Wang Hao quickly figured it out.

There is actually no conflict between reselling gold and reselling food stamps.

Perhaps the original plot only mentioned the deaf old lady reselling food stamps and did not mention reselling gold, but it may not exist.

And if you just resell food stamps, you don't have to go to the black market. Usually, the pigeon market is safer.

Wang Hao didn't know.

This matter actually has something to do with him.

Because the deaf old lady's golden body was broken before, her status in the hospital was greatly reduced. In addition, the great man Yi Zhonghai "fallen", the situation of both parties has undergone tremendous changes from the original, causing the deaf old lady to It is not that useful, and its value to Yi Zhonghai has been greatly reduced. The relationship between the two parties has undergone some subtle changes.

In order to ensure that her life could go on as before, the deaf old lady took the initiative to pay Yi Zhonghai for food.

It's just that she didn't have much cash on hand. Some of the money she had saved including buying food stamps was exchanged for small yellow croakers in order to hide it conveniently.

If you want to use money now, you can only find an opportunity to exchange it back.

If you put it this way, the deaf old lady might not have it so easy this time.

After all, reselling gold and reselling the food stamps on hand are quite different in nature.

Silly Zhu, who worked as her "groomman", also suffered along with her.

Seemingly remembering something again, Wang Hongying frowned and said: "By the way, Haozi, didn't you say before that the old lady had sent straw sandals to our army before, and her husband and son also went to the battlefield and died for the country? Yet?"

"Aunt Wang, I heard this from people in our courtyard, so I'm not sure."

Wang Hao remembered the "small report" he made at the beginning, but the time that passed was not too long, so Wang Hao didn't pay much attention to it later.

"We investigated this matter at the time, and later found out some circumstances, but we still encountered some difficulties." Wang Hongying sighed, "After all, you know that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were wars everywhere, and many things were discontinued and could not be investigated. Get up, so..."

Speaking of this, Wang Hongying obviously thought of something and felt a little sad.

After calming down a little, Wang Hongying calmed down, hesitated, and said: "Just this time, I believe even more that you old ladies are not that simple. The situation here may be different from what you knew before. Next Come down to our street…”

Wang Hao became energetic.

Is this to find out that the deaf old lady is guilty of something fishy?

Judging from Wang Hongying's appearance, it seems that she is not completely sure yet. It is not that easy to thoroughly investigate this matter.

However, it was an undercover visit before, and now it seems that an open investigation will begin.
