Siheyuan: Lao Liu appears, everyone is confused

Chapter 185 Aunt Yi is messing around, Yan Bugui feels sorry for Lao Yi
"Hey, why are we chatting and talking about work?"

After talking about the situation, Wang Hongying herself was speechless.

After having a good chat with Duan Duan, both she and her husband, Zhao Xingguo, stayed true to their profession and strayed directly from the topic.

It’s really not that easy to separate work and life.

For them, work has long been a part of life.

Wang Hao smiled and said nothing.

In fact, it was because the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai and others were from the same compound as Wang Hao, and they had had disputes before, so Zhao Xingguo and Wang Hongying couldn't help but bring it up.

Otherwise, for no reason, Zhao Xingguo and Wang Hongying are not such gossips, and they will not casually treat things they encounter at work as gossip to others.

And as neighbors in the same courtyard, they can also learn some things they want to know from Wang Hao.

"Aunt Wang, Yingxue and I are planning to get engaged recently. The two families will meet this weekend to discuss the matter. There may be a simple engagement party next. If you and Uncle Zhao are free then, please give me some advice. Please take the time to participate.”

Seeing that Wang Hongying didn't want to talk about work, Wang Hao used his preparations to get engaged to Zhu Yingxue to bring the topic back.

He and Wang Jing's father, Wang Youfu, were not from the old capital. They fled to Sijiu City from other places and later took root here. Later, the siblings Wang Jing and Wang Hao came to be.

Their mother died young, and due to some reasons, they had long since severed ties with their relatives there, and they had not been in contact for a long time.

To be honest, the siblings Wang Hao and Wang Jing no longer have any relatives in Sijiu City. After the death of their father Wang Youfu, the siblings have been relying on each other.

Although Wang Hongying and Zhao Xingguo have no blood relationship with them, after getting along with them in the past few years, they have long been treated as elders by Wang Hao and Wang Jing.

There are not many people Wang Hao can think of for this engagement, but Wang Hongying and Zhao Xingguo definitely have their place.

"got engaged?"

Wang Hongying was also stunned when she heard that Wang Hao's plan had been discussed with Zhu Yingxue and would be put on the agenda soon.

We just found out about Wang Hao's relationship, and they are about to get engaged, which feels unusually fast.

Wang Hongying, who was stunned for a moment and then reacted quickly, laughed and joked: "You guys are a little anxious! If I remember correctly, Haozi, you are only eighteen today and are not yet the legal age for marriage, so you want to Have you come up with an engagement idea?"

If it were anyone else, they might be curious about the engagement, but as Wang Hongying is the director of the subdistrict office, and the relationship between the two families is so good, she knows Wang Hao's situation very well, so she can naturally think of the reason quickly.

Looking at this posture, Wang Hongying felt that if it were not for the provisions of the national marriage law, I am afraid that what Wang Hao and Zhu Yingxue would tell them today is not the news of engagement, but direct marriage, and even send wedding candies to their door.

"Aunt Wang, actually it's not too urgent."

"Yingxue and I got together not long after we met, and we've been with each other for a while."

"I have visited Yingxue's family several times before, but I only told my sister and my brother-in-law these few days that I will come over to visit you and Uncle Zhao today."

"I never said anything, I just wanted to find a suitable opportunity."

"Speaking of which, I'm not too young. I'm only a few months behind Yingxue."

"If we change to the old society, we might even have children now..."

"..."

Seeing that Wang Hao was getting more and more arrogant, and even the child came out, Zhu Yingxue was so anxious that she wanted to hit someone, but considering that she was at Wang Hongying's house, she didn't dare to do it, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

After hearing Wang Hao's words, Wang Hongying said angrily: "Now is a new society. Don't mention the past. The rules and regulations are there. If you can find a girl as good as Yingxue, don't take advantage of her and still act well..." "

Although the Marriage Law is there and has been promulgated for several years, as the director of the subdistrict office, Wang Hongying is very aware that many people still do not strictly abide by it, especially in remote areas.

Many people just didn't get the certificate, but they did everything they should and shouldn't do.

As long as there are no special circumstances, and on the premise of mutual consent, even as the street office, they will mostly turn a blind eye.

In most cases, the people do not take action and the officials do not investigate.

They don't go out of their way to make things difficult for others.

But for these, Wang Hongying was also helpless.

There is still a long way to go before the law can be fully implemented and universalized.

Just now, Wang Hongying was reminding Wang Hao that this was the Forty-Nine City after all, so he should pay more attention, especially since Wang Hongying knew that there were many people in their courtyard who could not deal with Wang Hao.

For example, the Jia Zhang family who came to her to report Wang Hao before, and Yi Zhonghai, the original man in charge of their hospital, and others she may not know.

It's quite speechless to say.

One of the two people who randomly reported Wang Hao was met by her, and the other fell into the hands of her husband.

If she doesn't pay attention, someone with intentions will find out about this matter, and it will be exposed to the public. Even if she wants to help Wang Hao, she will be very contradictory and troublesome.

Moreover, just now Wang Hao also mentioned the old society and compared things in the past. Although he knew that Wang Hao was joking, he still had to be more careful and don't accidentally say it in the future and let people with ulterior motives listen.

Feeling Wang Hongying's concern, Wang Hao seriously promised: "Aunt Wang, I understand all this, and I will just tell you in front of you. Don't worry! I will definitely pay attention to it in the future!"

It's actually fine now, but it won't be easy to say when the wind blows up in a few years.

After thinking about it, Wang Hongying suddenly said: "I support your engagement. When the time comes, can you please ask the neighbors in your courtyard to help you come forward if necessary..."

Although you can't violate the principle and help Wang Hao and Zhu Yingxue get marriage certificates in advance, as the street director, you can provide him with some convenience and reduce unnecessary troubles.

Doing this is obviously a recognition of the relationship between Wang Hao and Zhu Yingxue. Compared with getting married, an engagement is actually only a marriage certificate away.

"Thank you Aunt Wang. I will definitely ask you for help if I need it."

Hearing the implication of Wang Hongying's words, Wang Hao was very grateful and immediately said with a smile: "But if we get engaged next, I only plan to invite some of my own people for the time being, and I don't plan to make a big deal. Moreover, the previous famine year has not passed for too long. So it’s better to keep a low profile.”

Wang Hao had discussed this with Zhu Yingxue, especially Zhu's mother, who also meant this. There was not much difference in this regard.

Wang Hongying nodded, obviously agreeing with Wang Hao and Zhu Yingxue's ideas.

Next.

Wang Hao and Zhu Yingxue stayed here for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Wang Hongying and Zhao Xingguo are both busy people, especially Zhao Xingguo. Even when he returns home at night, he sometimes has to deal with some things. Wang Hao, knowing this, did not delay them for too long.

During this visit, I brought Zhu Yingxue to meet and get to know the couple. I also sent them an invitation to the upcoming engagement party. Basically, there was nothing special about it.

When the next engagement date is confirmed, I will come back to formally invite you.

After leaving here, Wang Hao rode his bicycle and sent Zhu Yingxue back. After discussing the matter of sending Zhu Yingxue to work tomorrow, Wang Hao also embarked on his return journey.

Originally, Zhu Yingxue refused. Although her bicycle was left at work, it was not far from home to work. It would only take a few steps at most. She was not that pretentious and weak person.

Moreover, the courtyard where Wang Hao lived was a bit far away from her. If he came here early in the morning and sent her to work, it would be too late for Wang Hao to go to work himself. However, Wang Hao is not worried about being late for work at all, and he still gets up early every morning to do morning exercises. At worst, changing the morning exercise program tomorrow morning to cycling is also a good choice.

With Wang Hao's insistence and the thought of meeting Wang Hao, Zhu Yingxue finally agreed.

There is nothing I can do if I don’t agree.

When Wang Hao comes directly, can she still be angry and not let him send her away?
……

the other side.

Wang Hao, who was on his way back, obviously didn't encounter the same situation as yesterday.

Actions like cracking down on the black market don't happen every day. In addition, I went back much earlier today. I was "lucky" to have encountered one yesterday.

When Wang Hao returned to the courtyard, he happened to see Aunt Yi coming out of Yan Bugui's house with a worried expression on her face.

No need to ask, Wang Hao knew it, it must be because of Yi Zhonghai.

Because the deaf old lady and Silly Zhu participated in the black market transaction last night, and ended up running into an operation to crack down on the black market. Unfortunately, they were caught and did not come back all night.

And Yi Zhonghai, who was worried that the two of them had not returned home all night, specifically asked Qin Huairu to ask for leave from the factory today. In the morning, he went to the pigeon market to inquire about the news. As a result, due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, Yi Zhonghai's behavior was abnormal. He was targeted and arrested, and he is still in the police station and has not been released.

Combining the fact that he witnessed the arrest of Silly Zhu and the deaf old lady last night, coupled with the news he got from the security department at noon, and the information he learned from visiting Wang Hongying and his wife in the evening, it is not difficult for Wang Hao to deduce and restore these.

Aunt Yi, who came out of Yan Bugui's house, naturally saw Wang Hao who came back from outside. However, she saw that Wang Hao seemed to be thinking about something and ignored her. Aunt Yi didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Since the last incident involving Yi Zhonghai's report and the letter of understanding, the two families have almost fallen out. Even the most basic superficial neighborliness has been lost. Now they basically don't say hello when they meet.

Wang Hao doesn't care about these.

Before the breakup, even if there were frictions and conflicts, everyone could at least pretend to maintain a superficial harmony.

But they are all broken, so there is no need to resort to falsehoods.

At this time, Yan Bugui, who followed Aunt Yi out not long after, saw Wang Hao in the yard, pushing a bicycle in his hand. He had obviously just come back from outside, and subconsciously said: "Haozi, you came back just in time, I I was just about to call everyone for a meeting, there is something important..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Bugui suddenly thought of what he was going to say next. He felt embarrassed and couldn't speak anymore.

I just remembered the relationship between Wang Hao and Yi Zhonghai.

Things like that have happened before, but what we are encountering now is about Yi Zhonghai. Even if Wang Hao is a member of the compound, no one will say anything even if he doesn't care at all.

"Uncle Yan, are you going to talk about Yi Zhonghai?"

Guessing what Yan Bugui meant, Wang Hao asked proactively.

Wang Hao is still somewhat uncomfortable with the title Uncle Yan.

After all, the third uncle has been using it for so many years. If he suddenly changes his tune, it will take time to adapt.

Since Yan Bugui took the initiative to abolish his previous title, Wang Hao would not continue to insist on anything.

Even Yi Zhonghai and Wang Hao called him by his first name.

But he was the exception.

"how do you know?"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, but thinking of Aunt Yi who had just left their house, he thought it was Wang Hao who guessed it, so he nodded and said: "Lao Yi doesn't know what's going on. He asked for a day off from the factory today, but he is still there now." No news.

This old Yi's wife was anxious, so she came to me and wanted me to gather everyone to help go out and find someone. "

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao asked, "Do you know where Yi Zhonghai has gone?"

"I asked, but Lao Yi's wife doesn't know either, and I don't even know."

Yan Bugui helplessly spread his hands.

Hearing this, Wang Hao knew that Aunt Yi had not told Yan Bugui the truth just now, and immediately complained: "Then where are you going to ask everyone to look for it? Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"

It's even more outrageous than the last time Qin Jingru was so angry at Sha Zhu and the Jia family that she ran away.

At least we knew last time that Qin Jingru might go back to Qinjia Village. Although it wasn't right in the end, there was still a direction.

As Yi Zhonghai's bedfellow, Wang Hao didn't believe that Aunt Yi didn't know what Yi Zhonghai was doing today, but she was afraid that telling these things would cause trouble, so she simply hid them.

But asking everyone to go out late at night to help find someone, but not even giving the most basic directions, isn't this a fool's errand?
"Forget it, stop messing around. It's getting late. We all have to go to work tomorrow! Yi Zhonghai will be back by then." Wang Hao, who knew the situation, did not hide it and reminded him directly.

Zhao Xingguo has basically found out that Yi Zhonghai has nothing to do with the black market, and he will be back tomorrow at most.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai himself is also to blame.

We just cracked down on the black market last night. It was a time when the wind was tight. Even the pigeon market was closed in the morning. As a result, he went around sneakily to inquire about information. The police comrades were just about to go up to inquire about the situation, but they insisted on pretending to be an old man. The sentence is superfluous.

Isn't this intentional to misunderstand?
Wang Hao almost wants to laugh when he talks about it.

"Haozi, I know you and Lao Yi don't get along, but this person's disappearance is not a trivial matter..."

Thinking that Wang Hao said this deliberately because of his grievances with Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui reminded him helplessly.

If Wang Hao doesn't help himself, no one will say anything.

But it would be unreasonable to prevent others from finding someone.

Even if he didn't want to offend Wang Hao, Yan Bugui still had to speak out.

If something really happens, if he, the man in charge of the hospital, doesn't do anything, he will be in trouble.

"Uncle Yan, it is true that Yi Zhonghai and I have grudges, but we are not indifferent people. I asked you not to waste this effort because I know where Yi Zhonghai is. Going out to find him is just a fool's errand."

Wang Hao was also a little helpless.

Although I am not a good person in the eyes of some people, I still have a basic moral bottom line.

Yi Zhonghai will be back tomorrow, so there is no need to keep this matter secret.

"Do you know where Lao Yi is?"

Now it was Yan Bugui's turn to be stunned.

"It's locked up in the bureau!"

"What, why did Lao Yi go in again?"

"..."
