Chapter 66

Xu Huixiang is used to going to his son's room to check if he has kicked the quilt when he gets up at night. With the help of the dim night light, he tucked up the quilt for his son. After closing the door and going back to the master bedroom, he saw an orange light from the crack of the study door. After returning to the master bedroom, she shook her husband awake: "Your eldest nephew hasn't slept yet. He seems to be still smoking. Doesn't it mean that he has to get up early tomorrow? You Do you want to go and see?"

He Chifeng said in his heart that he was woken up by you, so he had to go if he didn't go.So he put on his nightgown and came to the study with a yawn. The door was unlocked, and he opened it with a light push.

As soon as the door was opened, I saw my nephew sitting on the floor leaning against the door frame of the study leading to the balcony, his legs were slightly bent, his hand holding the cigarette butt rested on his knee casually, looking sideways at the pattering rain curtain, spitting out from time to time. With the smoke ring, the cool night wind blows away most of the smell of smoke.

"Didn't you say quit smoking?" He Chifeng frowned, the temperature dropped a bit this night, and the small balcony of their house didn't have a canopy installed, so the rain drifted in and hit people, it was quite cold after a long time .

"I quit." He Qingdong looked down at the cigarette butt in his hand. He had heard from his aunt that it's not good for girls to smoke second-hand smoke. He raised his hand and the cigarette butt disappeared into the quiet night in an arc.

He Chifeng was dumbfounded: he opened his eyes and told nonsense, and even destroyed the corpse, and he was able to drive away the smell of smoke in the house.

"What? The confession didn't work out, and was rejected?" Otherwise, what kind of stuffy cigarettes are you smoking at night?

He Chifeng walked over angrily, kicked his nephew, motioned him to sit in, stretched his arms, and closed the door of the study.

Confession failed?rejected?

He Qingdong looked down at the black ring on his middle finger, and then thought about the kiss before parting. Although it was a little short, it was downstairs in her unit after all. She was bumped into by her neighbors and passed on to her parents. It's not good, but no matter how you say it, lips and teeth are intertwined, and the tip of the tongue is intertwined. How could it be what his uncle said?

However, thinking of the scene of Gou Gou Tangling, He Qingdong's cold and serious face softened a lot, he stretched himself, got up and took off his clothes, ready to sleep.Starting tomorrow, there is still a tough battle waiting for him.

"Since it's not an emotional problem, is it because of work?"

He Chifeng didn't want to let him go, so he asked after him.If he couldn't see such an obvious change in his nephew's expression, he would be blind.

He Qingdong paused when he unbuttoned the buttons, and then returned to normal: "There is no reason. I haven't smoked for a long time, I just smoked one on a whim in the rainy day."

He Chifeng frowned, apparently not believing what he said, and he guessed, "The mission that is going to be carried out tomorrow is very dangerous?"

He Qingdong was silent for a while, and said, "Uncle, it's not convenient for me to tell you about the Special Task Force."

He Chifeng patted him on the shoulder, expressing his understanding: "When do you expect to come back?"

"It's hard to say." He Qingdong turned around to meet He Chifeng's complicated eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, if I'm delayed by something, I won't be able to make it back to celebrate the new year. Please help me on the grave of my parents on the first day of the first month." Go burn the incense sticks."

"Of course it's okay, it's just..." He Chifeng vaguely chewed out something wrong with his nephew's words, frowned, and wanted to say something, but was pushed out of the study by his nephew on his shoulders.

"Okay, if you think too much, you will grow old quickly, so hurry up and go to sleep."

Teacher He, who was disgusted by his nephew, went back to the master bedroom with a depressed expression.

……

The next day was a rest day, but the rain stopped, but the ground was still very wet. When He Mu came back from shopping, she said to her daughter who was still eating breakfast: "The ground is too wet, and it is easy to slip when riding a bicycle. I was at the gate of the vegetable market just now. I saw a woman fall off the bicycle, if you want to go out, you should take the bus."

He Wei silently drank the sweet potato porridge in the bowl, and nodded a few times indiscriminately.

Half an hour later, she packed her backpack, talked to Hemu, and went to Yuxiu Pavilion.

The air after the rain was very fresh. She stretched her arms while walking along the road of people outside the community, and did a few deep breathing exercises before calling Lao Wu.

After Lao Wu picked her up in the car, he handed her a letter with two strong words on the envelope: Wei Shou, which means that he can guess who it is without asking.

Opening the envelope, two bank cards fell out. As for the thin letter paper, there were only a few words: I changed the password, your birthday.

What do you mean?
[This journey is difficult and dangerous, in case something happens, I will give you all my wealth first.I was afraid that you would forget the password, so I simply changed it to your birthday. 】

He Wei: ...

But when the system said this, she felt overwhelmed. She took out her phone and touched it for a long time. It was not until the car drove into Yugu Alley that she mustered up the courage and sent someone a text message: I promised to keep it for you, but There is a storage fee, and the longer the time, the higher the cost, so come back as soon as possible.

He Qingdong was already at the airport at this time, with a portable travel bag at his feet, his hands and elbows resting on his knees, his head hanging down, wondering what he was thinking, when he heard the specially set text message tone, he froze for a moment, then quickly He took out his phone to check, and after reading the content of the text message, he couldn't help but smile, and his mood suddenly became better.

His fingers fluttered, and he quickly replied: "Okay."wait for me.

……

Kyoto, He Zhai.

There was a sound of a teacup falling to the ground in the study. He Songbei, who was leaning against the wall to eavesdrop, made sign language to the twin brother He Lingxi who was walking behind him, meaning: The old man is losing his temper. I don’t know who is wrong. The long-eyed angered him.

He Lingxi frowned, looked at his brother who was only 3 minutes younger than himself, and said in a cold tone: "Eavesdropping on the corner, what does it look like?"

"Hush——" He Songbei almost jumped up in fright, rushed over to cover his brother's mouth, and gnashed his teeth under his voice: "You are crazy! You are not afraid of being grandpa..."

Before he could finish speaking, the study door opened, and the old man came out leaning on a cane with a livid face. When he saw the two brothers, he frowned and said, "Call your parents up." After speaking, he turned back to the study.

Throughout the whole process, let alone a smile, I never saw him frowning.

The two brothers looked at each other, obediently went downstairs and called their parents.

"Dad, Xiao Bei said you were looking for us?"

He Zhanguo and his wife Fang Wanru walked into the study room and saw the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. They felt a little uneasy. The old man hadn't lost his temper for a long time. The most recent time was also several years ago when the boss and his wife had an accident. What's the matter?Didn't he still smile on the phone with his old friends yesterday?
"Do you know what your brother-in-law's brother-in-law did?" The old man asked San'er without looking at his daughter-in-law who came in with his son.

He Zhanguo glanced at his wife and shook his head: "I haven't been to my father-in-law's house for a long time, but what happened there?"

"What's the matter? Hmph! That good brother-in-law of yours arranged a mission for Ah Qing with a risk factor as high as full value. Is this forcing him to go and never return?"

He Zhanguo opened his mouth in surprise, and was about to ask more carefully, when his wife took him over: "Dad, you say that Xiao Ding is too arbitrary, right? Xiao Ding is not a member of the Special Forces, how can he have the qualifications?" Arrange tasks for Qingdong?"

"Boom!" The old man slapped the desk hard, and said coldly: "So it's a channel, didn't you hear what I said? Your ineffective younger brother, just dawdling in the work unit, is inferior to Ah Qing. Unwilling to be reconciled, you actually came up with such a dirty trick, thanks to your mother's family claiming to be a scholarly family, but the children you have taught are such virtues..."

"Dad!" Fang Wanru's voice became louder when she heard that she and her entire natal family were affected, "I admit that I love to refute your words with a sharp tongue, and I don't really go against my sister-in-law. You don't like me very much." It's normal, I don't ask you to like me, but after all, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Warring States Ming Dynasty, the mistress of the third bedroom of the He family, isn't it too much for you to say that about me and my natal family?"

The old man was also a domineering and cold guy when he was young, and he went to the battlefield again. When his daughter-in-law refuted him like this, he stared and was furious: "Why! I can't say a few words? I'll just leave it here today Now, if something really happens to Ah Qing this trip, your worthless brother will prepare for my funeral as soon as possible!"

Fang Wanru was so angry that her chest trembled, she glared at the old man and said furiously: "What do you mean? Even if Qing Dong was partly responsible for the mission, the mission is still legitimate, right? It's not my brother who created it out of thin air. He If you want to be so big, you won’t just hang around in the unit. Besides, if you want to accuse me like this, Dad, don’t you have to take part of the responsibility? Wasn’t it the selection camp where you threw Qingdong back then? Brother was against you at the time, did you forget about this?"

"I—" The old man found himself speechless by his daughter-in-law's words, and felt so wronged in his heart. The reason why he threw his eldest grandson to the selection camp was that he hoped that he could face up to the fact of his parents' death as soon as possible, Come out of a depressed mood?What's more, it's wrong to go to the work unit for a few years, hoping that he can get rid of all the bad habits of wandering around in the past?

As for the Special Task Force, it was the eldest grandson's own decision. His original intention was to let him stay in the unit for three to five years, and then transfer him to a position that he could see and care about. He even secretly went to take an exam for a special task force. When he received the news, the admission notices came down, unless he used his position to put pressure on the special task force. The result he is happy to see.

"Anyway, I've already decided on this matter. I don't care if you go back to your mother's house to report the news, but if you want to help your brother escape from the capital, you don't go back to our old He's house." , slapped the board fiercely.

"Dad—" He Zhanguo pinched his forehead with a headache, his father and his wife were arguing, which one should he help as the sandwich cake?Both of them are masters who refuse to bow their heads, which is really a headache.

Fang Wanru turned her head and rushed out of the study angrily, almost bumping into two sons who were eavesdropping at the door.

He Songbei touched his nose guiltily, and asked casually, "Mom, why are you going?"

"Go to hell!"

Everyone: "..."
