"Uncle Tan, are you sure it's Zhu Changyong himself?"

"It can't be confirmed, but it's probably him.

Because when the other party applied for a visit, he provided relevant evidence and photos of him and Zheng Haiyang's mother as colleagues."

"Does the mental hospital have any records?"

"No."

The mental hospital is indeed stricter in terms of supervision, but that is only for internal use, not external use. Moreover, the frequency of visits from the patient's family is already very low.

Many families hope to forget the mentally ill after sending their family members to the hospital.

"Uncle Tan, is it confirmed that it was suicide?"

"Her suicide method was to cut her throat in public."

Li Zhuiyuan pulled up his collar.

That means she committed suicide. After all, if there were other hidden secrets or shady dealings, it would not be presented in this way.

"Uncle Tan, is this Zhu Changyong not suspected of inducing or abetting?"

"There is a law that says so, but how to rule? Zheng Haiyang's mother is a mental patient. All the local police station can do is to find him for questioning. He did leave his address and phone number on the application form, but it was for a hotel."

Li Zhuiyuan looked up and looked at Tan Yunlong. He suddenly understood the real reason why Officer Tan came here.

"Uncle Tan, you are here to find Zheng Haiyang."

Tan Yunlong nodded, and felt relieved. Talking to Xiaoyuan was much simpler than talking to his own stupid son.

"Xiaoyuan, the hotel address that Zhu Changyong left is in our Shigang."

Zheng Haiyang walked out of the school gate at this time. He had lunch with Tan Wenbin and Li Zhuiyuan at noon. In the evening, because Tan Wenbin did not go to the evening self-study with Li Zhuiyuan, he left by himself.

"Brother Bin, why are you still here?" Zheng Haiyang saw Tan Wenbin first and walked over to say hello.

Tan Wenbin nodded in that direction.

"Oh, uncle is here too."

Tan Yunlong naturally noticed this place. He turned his head, pointed at Tan Wenbin, and shouted: "You and Haiyang go to the cafeteria to eat, and then accompany him to the evening self-study."

"What?" Tan Wenbin was stunned for a moment. It was okay to accompany his buddies to eat, but not to attend the morning and evening self-study, that was his unique pride now!

Tan Yunlong glared.

Tan Wenbin's knees immediately weakened, and he immediately responded:

"Yes!"

When the tiger is pretending to be angry and can be lively and naughty, and when the tiger really eats people, as a son, you can tell the difference.

A tiger does not eat its own cubs, but that is because the young tiger has good eyesight.

"Come on, Haiyang, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Brother Bin, now we have to queue up to go to the cafeteria and there may not be any food..."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you really can't, go to the school canteen to buy a few bags of Tang Monk meat. If you don't go with me, my dad may take out his belt and beat me in public at the school gate."

When Tan Wenbin and Zheng Haiyang went in, two plainclothes policemen followed them in, obviously to protect the target.

During the school period, the security guards at the school gate did not stop people who looked like students, but they would still pay more attention to adults.

So the security guards greeted the two plainclothes policemen enthusiastically.

In a small town, you will see them everywhere, and these two policemen often come to the school to do legal publicity.

Letting them go is also convenient for communicating with teachers to avoid misunderstandings.

Soon, two physical education teachers in the school, Luo Jinwen and Luo Wenhui, were also selected to cooperate with the police action.

These two physical education teachers are cousins. One originally planned to buy vegetables after get off work to celebrate his wife's birthday, and the other had an appointment with his partner to watch a movie after work, but now everything is broken.

After the director arranged the task for them, he also calmed their emotions and comforted them that they were the people the school leaders relied on the most.

This is a fact. The last time the school sent them to Beijing to investigate Li Zhuiyuan's academic status, they were the two of them. They were also the ones who installed curtains and spring beds in the principal's office.

"Let's go, Xiaoyuan, let's go to the hotel to have a look."

"Has the person not checked out yet?"

"The station called to ask, and the person checked out this morning, but we still have to go and have a look. In addition, I have also arranged police officers to protect Zheng Haiyang's home."

"Uncle Tan, wait a minute."

Li Zhuiyuan ran to Runsheng's tricycle and explained to A Li, who nodded.

Except for the time when the girl resolutely left after discovering that Li Zhuiyuan had mutilated his palm, she did not complain no matter what Li Zhuiyuan wanted to do at other times.

Runsheng asked if he wanted to send A Li back and then come with the equipment, but Li Zhuiyuan refused.

After saying hello, Li Zhuiyuan ran back and got on Tan Yunlong's motorcycle, and the two soon arrived at the hotel.

The name of the hotel is very popular, called "Happiness Hotel".

There is a breakfast shop on the left side of the entrance, and a hair salon on the right side.

In an ordinary hair salon, there is at least an iron barber chair. This one not only has no chair, but there are no scissors or combs on the table. There is only a simple long sofa inside, and two women with bright makeup are sitting on it, knitting sweaters with their legs crossed.

In addition to "haircut, shampoo", there are also "cupping, foot washing, massage, PSA" on the glass door.

For the last one, Li Zhuiyuan suspected that the letters were wrong.

The hotel entrance is very small, with a small staircase going up, and the front desk is also on the second floor.

Tan Yunlong took out his ID and asked the other party to show the check-in record.

When the station called earlier, it confirmed that Zhu Changyong had stayed here, and also asked that the room should not be opened for the time being.

Under the guidance of the boss, he walked deeper into the hotel, opened the door, and walked in.

The space inside is very small, just one bed and a bedside table with a coffee table, and there is no TV.

Tan Yunlong began to check and found that there were many traces of water seepage on the floor: "What's wrong here?"

"I don't know. I started to seep water from last night. The shops downstairs said it. We knocked on the door and came in to check. The water pipe of the bathroom was normal and the water on the ground was very large. Come in. "

Li Zhanyuan knelt on the ground, so that he could get closer to these water stains closer.

Although cleaned, it is still slightly sticky in the residual water stains.

This is very consistent with the characteristics of the overflowing water on the dead.

Tan Yunlong looked at the boss and asked, "After he lives here, is there any other people in this room to find him?"

Li Zhanyuan looked up and looked at the boss.

The boss waved his hand: "No, no one goes to this room to find him."

Li Zhanyuan saw that the boss's micro -expression showed that he was lying.

However, Li Zhanyuan knew that Tan Yunlong could definitely hear it, because Tan Yunlong set up a trap when he asked the question.

In such a deep room, your front desk is outside again. How can no one enter his room? The correct answer should be "I don't know", instead of saying no.

Tan Yunlong said, "Give you another chance, think clearly and answer again, do you know what he committed? If we find that you lie today, it is a crime, or even a crime."

The boss panicked immediately, his face was tangled, and he finally determined to say, "Amy has come in."

"who?"

"It's from the hair salon downstairs, come in."

"Do you hold your head?"

"No ... isn't it." The boss looked ugly and began to sweat.

Nowadays, doing this business in the back of the hotel is almost a hidden rule. Some bosses will cooperate to divide, and some bosses simply are chicken heads.

"Where is she?"

"It's downstairs."

Tan Yunlong and Li Zhanyuan walked out and came to the hair salon next door. Amei was one of the two women who woven sweaters on the sofa.

Seeing that Tan Yunlong came in, one of the women went to pull the roller door naturally.

Until seeing Li Zhanyuan who followed him, she stunned and couldn't laugh: "Little brother, are you here to play?"

"He came with me."

"Okay, big brother, you two, we choose one, and the other one stays with the child to watch TV."

There is a black and white TV in the room, but it should be bad and not on the socket.

That is, Li Zhanyuan is too young now, but even a few years old can be received.

"Which is Amei."

"Brother, do you choose me, aren't you here for the first time? Friends introduced me?"

Tan Yunlong took out the document: "I'm a police officer, come and ask you, you sit down."

The two women were frightened at once, but another response was fast, and her charming expression emerged again, but under the eyes of Tan Yunlong, she instantly stunned.

"Did you go to Happy Hotel last night? Remember Room 8025?"

"No ... don't remember."

"If you want to answer it clearly, I am not here to scan this time."

The woman next to her pushed Amei's arm: "You can say it, to be honest, cooperate with the work."

Amy was also anxious and said, "I did several last night, I don’t know which one is that room."

The woman next to him immediately changed his color: "You actually carried me secretly ..."

Obviously, Amei has a better relationship with the hotel owner.

Generally, this kind of store, unless guests want to order people, facing strangers, they are rotated in order.

Those who come to the hotel will definitely not be a cooked guest. After all, there are small compartments in the hair salon, and there are beds inside.

Li Zhanyuan reminded: "The floor of his room is very wet, there are a lot of water, and the tide in the room is very heavy."

"Ah, I thought, it was him. But I didn't do it with him, he gave money, but I just asked me He burned a lot of water for him, and finally let me go. "

"Is there any other details, such as his accent?"

"It seems to be the northern accent. In addition, he brought a black briefcase. The rest, I don't know, we did not undress either."

"Face details, remember again."

"He is very tall, with one meter eight, very thin, but he has muscles, wearing a peaked cap, the skin is darker, as if it is dark, and the back of his hand is peeling. I also asked him if he was sunburned."

Tan Yunlong nodded, although there were no direct photos, but from the description, it was indeed the person who visited Zheng Haiyang's mother in a mental hospital.

"If he looks for you again, remember to find a chance to call the police, he is very dangerous."

"Huh ... huh ..." Amei patted her chest in fright, and was caught by the scanning. They were detention. They were really afraid of the police, but they were even more afraid of bad people.

Tan Yunlong pulled the rolling door, walked out with Li Zhanyuan, and took the motorcycle again.

After the car drove out, Tan Yunlong suddenly said: "Xiao Yuan, some things can never clean up forever."

"Ah?" Li Zhanyuan was surprised for a while, thinking that Tan Yunlong was talking about the case. He quickly understood and responded, "Uncle Tan, I understand."

"The house cannot be cleaned forever, so you have to clean it frequently."

"Well, Uncle Tan."

The retired elderly in the family compound also like to say something similar to me, which means that they really treat me as a promising younger generation and hope to pass on the correct values.

The next stop is Zheng Haiyang's home.

Zheng Haiyang's home is a very new two-story self-built house. Li Zhuiyuan came on the day of the funeral.

Originally, Zheng Haiyang's family conditions were actually very poor, but Zheng Haiyang's father was good at handling things. He did make a lot of money with his wife as a seaman in recent years, and the family also built a new house.

There were two plainclothes policemen outside the house. After Tan Yunlong greeted them, he took them into the house.

The two old people were still wiping tears, probably because they knew the news from the mental hospital.

In fact, they were more worried about their grandson. He lost his father and mother in a short period of time. What should he do next?

The only thing to be thankful for is that the house at home has been built, and his son and daughter-in-law have sent a lot of money home in recent years, all of which are saved.

Tan Yunlong explained the purpose of his visit and asked if there were any strangers approaching here recently. The two old people replied that there were none.

But this is obviously impossible, because since Zhu Changyong chose to live in Shigang, his purpose could only be here.

During the interrogation, Tan Yunlong specifically pointed out that this person might pose a danger to Zheng Haiyang. The two old people were very scared when they heard this, and they tried their best to ask the police to catch the bad guy.

This was a test, to test whether the two old people had really never come into contact with Zhu Changyong.

Sometimes, the case will encounter very bizarre twists and turns, and it is not the case itself that brings the bizarreness but the people involved in the case.

However, when it comes to the matter of grandson, the two old people also behaved normally, which proves that Zhu Changyong came alone for his own purpose.

After asking for the consent of the old man, the two police officers were arranged to check the house.

Tan Yunlong walked to the dam, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"Uncle Tan, thank you for your hard work."

This should not be a case that Tan Yunlong should be in charge of, and it may not even be a case.

"Xiaoyuan, what are you talking about? You can't just ignore the possible danger, right? Well, Xiaoyuan, what do you think?"

When asking this question, Tan Yunlong's eyes were like a hawk, slowly sweeping around. He had a feeling that Zhu Changyong might be hiding nearby.

"Uncle Tan, is it possible that Zhu Changyong came here not to target people, but for something specific?"

"Something?"

"Yes, he might not come here to kill people."

This is Li Zhuiyuan's guess. The one who really knows Zhu Changyong's true identity is Li Lan's secretary Xu Wen.

But from Xu Wen's attitude towards Zhu Changyong heard in the toilet, they are not hostile to each other, and may even be a little intimate.

To see the person alive and the body dead...If it's not a description of the enemy, it may be another extreme.

This can also indirectly explain Zhu Changyong's identity. Although he also sneaked into the ship, he is different from Honda and Ashley.

Even if something bad happened on the seabed, he would not target the family members of the crew after landing.

"Then I'll go ask again."

Tan Yunlong went to ask again.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't follow him, but imitated Tan Yunlong's previous actions and scanned the surroundings.

It's just that Tan Yunlong was looking for people, while he was looking for dead people.

But the result was still the same, nothing was found.

Li Zhuiyuan took out the talisman paper from his pocket and pasted it on the dam and the door. He always carried a lot in his pocket, and this time he pasted them all.

Tan Yunlong came out: "I asked, there is nothing special, but this time he may be lying."

Since it can be seen that he is lying, as long as he is brought back to the institute, with the help of the environment and atmosphere there, it will be easy to ask, but this can't be done now.

"Uncle Tan, you can tell Zheng Haiyang and let Zheng Haiyang come back to ask."

"Well, good idea."

Tan Yunlong rode Li Zhuiyuan back to the school gate on his bike and ordered two bowls of noodles in a small shop outside.

"Xiaoyuan, what toppings do you want?"

"I don't need it, Uncle Tan."

After the two of them finished their noodles, the evening self-study for the senior year of high school was over, and the noodle shop would close after finishing the last batch of business today.

Tan Wenbin and Zheng Haiyang walked out side by side. The father and son were connected by heart, and he immediately sensed the location of his father.

Tan Yunlong talked to Zheng Haiyang, but did not tell him about his mother without authorization. He just explained the interests to him clearly. The gist was that a bad guy had set his sights on something in his house. Your grandparents knew about it, but deliberately did not tell the police, which might bring danger to the family.

Zheng Haiyang immediately promised that he would ask his grandparents clearly when he returned.

Then, Zheng Haiyang pursed his lips again and asked, "Uncle, is my mother gone too?"

As a seaman, his father was confirmed dead, but his mother had no news and did not come back to attend the funeral. Zheng Haiyang actually had a premonition in his heart.

"You have to ask your grandparents about this yourself. Uncle doesn't know."

"Okay, I understand, uncle."

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

After saying that, Tan Wenbin put his arm around Zheng Haiyang's shoulder and pulled him out, giving a buddy's advice:

"Brother, you see my dad and Brother Xiaoyuan are standing together. You have to listen, believe me, you can disobey my dad, but you have to listen to our Brother Xiaoyuan.

If you don't listen to my dad, you will go to jail at most, but if you don't listen to Brother Xiaoyuan, you may have to sit in the court."

"Brother Bin, I understand. I only have my grandparents left. I hope my family is well. Besides... I feel guilty."

"What's wrong?"

"My dad is gone, and my mother may be gone, but I am not so sad in my heart, I think I am not a thing."

"Well, what do you think about? Your parents are not at home all the year round, and you will see you once a year. It is normal for you to feel light."

"But they are busy out for me."

"How do you say, buddy, look at it, don't be committed with yourself, people can not be resurrected. If your parents can see it, you will definitely not want you to cry. Can live healthy and happy.

Be well, drink well, study, take a college, you will have grandparents to take care of in the future. "

"Thank you, Brother Bin."

At this time, Li Zhanyuan came over: "Brother Binbin, do you still have rune paper in your pocket?"

"Yes, this is our anti -counterfeiting symbol."

"You give the ocean. The ocean, I posted some rune paper to your home. When you go back, check it out to see if there is a discoloration, and then give you and your grandparents in the door of the bedroom of your grandparents.

Don't tell others that I gave it. "

"I know, Xiao Yuan, I said this is a peaceful symbol."

Early the next day after the end of self -study, Li Zhanyuan and Tan Wenbin just walked into the classroom, and Zheng Haiyang came over and whispered:

"I asked my grandparents last night, and they told me that my parents did bring back something when they went home last time."

Tan Wenbin hurriedly asked, "What?"

"That, I can't describe it, let me draw it." Zheng Haiyang picked up the pen, opened a page on Tan Wenbin's book, and started drawing.

Tan Wenbin frowned: "What kind of ghost is this?"

"I have never seen it, I was drawn according to my grandmother's description."

Li Zhanyuan said faintly: "Ding."

"I am ah, national treasure."

In the end, it is a third year of high school, and naturally clearing what "Ding" represents.

Li Zhanyuan recalled that Zheng Haiyang's mother said that she was in there for the first time, but her husband was not.

Therefore, when her husband went in for the first time, he brought out something.

"But my grandmother said that this thing is very small ..."

Li Zhanyuan: "Not every tripod is very large, there are small. What color?"

"Black -green."

Li Zhanyuan: "That may be a cultural relic."

It is no wonder that Grandpa Zheng Haiyang would choose to conceal when he faced Tan Yunlong's second question yesterday. After losing his son and daughter -in -law, the old man clearly valued this kind of thing more.

Tan Wenbin asked: "Have you brought it?"

Zheng Haiyang shook his head: "At that time, this thing was on the well in the dam in the dam of my parents. I tried to fish with my grandfather last night, but I didn't get it."

Tan Wenbin: "Let Runsheng go to your home that night, Runsheng is professional."

Li Zhanyuan asked: "Is there any change in the rune paper?"

"When I went back last night, I watched it, and I watched it again when I came to school in the morning.

Tan Wenbin relieved: "It's good, he didn't come."

Li Zhanyuan corrected: "It's not yet."

"This, will there be anything in our family?" Zheng Haiyang asked worriedly.

Li Zhanyuan said, "There are police outside your family."

Tan Wenbin said: "It is impossible to stay for too long, and at most it will be these two days, otherwise the people will be dissatisfied, after all, there will be no case."

"Xiao Yuan, Brother Bin, then me ..."

"We go to your house at night." Li Chaiyuan said calmly, "Fishing things from the well, your family is fine."

Tan Wenbin asked curiously: "How to deal with that thing after getting out? This thing now looks like a hot potato."

Li Zhanyuan was lying on the table and prepared to make up for a consciousness. He drew a half -suction little yellow warbler last night.

However, the boy still answered by the way:

"Go to the country."

Tan Wenbin asked carefully: "If the cultural relics found in the Gonghai seem to be given to the country?"

The boy had adjusted the posture of his arms and pillows, and asked with his eyes closed: "Then take you home."

"No, no, no!" Tan Wenbin shook his head immediately, "Let's give it to the country, give it to the country."

At noon, the three went out to eat outside. After meals, Tan Wenbin went to call Zhang's small sales department and told Run Sheng not to carry A Li tonight and bring it with equipment.

As soon as I walked back to the school entrance, I saw Wu Xinhan go out with her car. The driver was focusing on driving. Wu Xinhan waved his hands with me, and spoke with eyebrows.

He is going to meet, and he will not forget to give himself a final rehearsal on the way.

After entering the school, the banner happy news has been hung.

"Congratulations on congratulations to our school, Li Chaoyuan, won the first place in the city Olympic Games! "

The strange operation is that the last last word was "first prize", but it was applied by the slope, and the "first place" was temporarily added.

Because this competition is scheduled by the ranking, there is a good first prize, but the full score is one.

The banner is done well in advance. The word is also asked by President Wu to change so, and there is no need to change the banner. This border is even more domineering!

This middle school is in this hell difficulty area. It was really used to it before. It was easy to catch a chance. Naturally, you had to vent.

Li Zhanyuan just glanced, and lowered his head and continued to move forward.

Tan Wenbin slammed his thigh, ran back to the classroom first, and shouted the poor students in the class:

"What are you doing?

The second, third and fourth volumes are sold together. Students who receive school subsidies for poor students can enjoy discounts. No one else will bargain! "

When Li Zhuiyuan came back, the classroom seemed to have become a large-scale publishing distribution site. There were crowds of people inside and outside the hallway outside.

As soon as the good news of the Mathematical Olympiad was announced, the entire school market was boiling.

Not only the senior high school students came to buy the exercise books, but also many senior high school students, and even many junior high school students came to buy them.

For the younger students, they will be able to use them in the future anyway; the most important thing is that when they go to high school, the winners will be gone in the morning, so they should buy them while they are still there to share the good luck.

After buying the exercise books, many people immediately took out the talisman paper and put their mouths to the After a kiss, he stuffed it back carefully and solemnly.

One of the people's exercise books slipped and fell to the ground when he passed by Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan looked down at the cover and found that Tan Wenbin named the exercise book:

"Zhuiyuan Secret Volume".

The hot selling atmosphere did not end after the bell rang for the afternoon self-study.

Finally, the vice principal and the head teacher Sun Qing came together and called Tan Wenbin out, and the crowd dispersed.

An hour later, Tan Wenbin came back and sat back in his seat with a smile:

"Brother, it will be convenient for us to sell exercise books in the future. You can just make questions, and the school will help us print and sell them."

"Then why did you go for so long?"

"Silly, I must negotiate the copyright share with the school, and the school must be clear about the accounts!"

"Huh?"

"It's not just for this round. In the future, we will sell it to other schools in the city and other schools in the province, and we will have to charge authorization fees or copyright fees.

This share must be negotiated, even if we graduate and go to college, we can still receive it. "

"Brother Binbin, you really have a business mind."

"I am nothing, mainly because of you, my brother, you are a rare commodity.

Then after school in the evening, go and sign a contract with the school? We have a school-run enterprise brand, which was half-dead before, but now it can be used. "

"I will authorize you, go ahead."

"Brother, do you trust me so much?"

"Yes. ”

Li Zhuiyuan has no obsession with making money.

In this regard, he is very similar to Brother Liangliang. Their attitude towards money has always been that it is enough to have enough, and they mainly pursue things at another level.

Tan Wenbin was fiddling with his plan during the afternoon class.

Li Zhuiyuan took a glance and found that he was making a phased plan, which was a bit like a bet agreement.

For example, the corresponding share ratio must be increased step by step for winning the provincial Mathematical Olympiad, the national Mathematical Olympiad and the international Mathematical Olympiad.

Tan Wenbin himself has no chance to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad, but he knows the competition process very well.

In addition, the college entrance examination results are also included.

"Brother Binbin."

"What's wrong?"

"What does aunt do?"

"My mother? She is an accountant. ”

Because he had to go to Zheng Haiyang’s house after school, he went to the infirmary before the fourth math class and used a little trick to measure his fever and get a leave slip. After going to the office and handing it to Teacher Yan, he went to negotiate.

Teacher Yan distributed papers to everyone in the fourth class because he was called by the school leaders to help with the contract calculation. As a result, he had an "accidental encounter" with Tan Wenbin.

After school in the evening, Li Zhuiyuan saw the principal's car coming back. The principal opened the door and got out. He greeted everyone warmly. He was full of energy and vigor.

It was like a daughter-in-law who had been oppressed for a long time, and finally outlasted the evil mother-in-law.

Before the principal's eyes swept over him, Li Zhuiyuan and Zheng Haiyang ran out of the school gate and found Runsheng.

Tan Wenbin was already waiting here, his left ear was red and big, like Maitreya.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, the contract has been negotiated. You can just set questions in the future, and then wait to count the money. ”

“Brother Binbin, your ears…”

“Originally, Teacher Yan only scolded me when he saw me. When he saw me suggesting that the questions you set for the Olympiad group be included in the Olympiad exercise book, Teacher Yan was so angry that he pulled my ears and told me about my fake sick leave. ”

“Thank you for your hard work, Brother Binbin.”

“It’s not hard, but we can’t let the school take advantage of us!”

The three of them got on a tricycle, and Runsheng rode to Zheng Haiyang’s house.

After arriving at the dam, Runsheng started to salvage, but he couldn’t get anything out. In the end, he simply went down the well himself and dived, but he still couldn’t find the tripod.

Tan Wenbin: “The tripod is not in there. Could it be that Zhu Changyong had already come and taken it away?”

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: “It’s possible. "

Zhu Changyong checked out that morning, and Tan Yunlong received the notice to assist in the investigation in the afternoon. In theory, Zhu Changyong could have come here the night before to take away his things and left Shigang early the next morning.

Zheng Haiyang asked anxiously, "What if the things are gone?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "If he has already taken the things, then your home must be safe."

Zheng Haiyang patted his chest and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Xiaoyuan, you are right."

It was already dark.

Zheng Haiyang's grandparents warmly invited the classmates to have dinner at home before leaving.

Everyone sat at the table together, and Runsheng lit a cigarette before dinner.

Zheng Haiyang's grandparents were busy in the kitchen happily, and kept saying that Haiyang had never brought any classmates home to play before.

Then, they kept blaming Zheng Haiyang for not telling them in advance, so that they could go to the vegetable market in the morning to prepare more vegetables.

Tan Wenbin skillfully smoothed things over and livened up the atmosphere, but he did not forget to remind them to "cook more rice".

After a few dishes were served, everyone started eating.

Zheng Haiyang's grandmother smiled and said, "There is also a first dish, which will be served soon."

Tan Wenbin raised his chopsticks: "Okay, okay, I love first dishes the most."

First dishes are also called Tongcheng stewed three fresh dishes, also known as a hodgepodge.

There are fish balls, pork skin, fungus, egg skin, quail eggs and other ingredients in it, which can be considered half a soup dish. It is indispensable for local red and white banquets.

While eating, the light above my head began to flicker, and then it went out with a "pop".

"Old man, check if the power supply at home is tripped."

"I'm coming, old woman, please make way first, everyone, don't move, I'll serve the first dish first, don't burn it."

"Ding Dong..."

It should be the muffled sound of a large bowl being placed on the table.

"Everyone, eat as much as you want, just like at home, there's plenty of food."

"Old man, go check if the circuit breaker is tripped. I see the lights in the neighbor's house are still on. It's not that the power is out in the village."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

After a while, the grandfather's voice came from outside: "Old woman, the circuit breaker is tripped. I'll send it up right away."

The power came back and the lights came on.

At the table, everyone who was holding chopsticks to pick up food stopped.

Because the dish placed in the middle of the table... was a tripod.

Although the lights were on, the faces of the two old men darkened. They stood by the table and waved their hands:

"Eat, eat quickly, don't be polite, hehehehe..."
