After Huang Wanglong and Liu Yue met, they were directly detained by the security office. In the following days, more people were asked to leave by the security office one after another. Rumors were everywhere in the steel rolling mill.
No one knew that Lao Xia had quietly resigned. There was no mention of resignation at this time. The resignation procedures were very cumbersome. Lao Xia was different from Lao Yang. He was just removed from his post, but his administrative level did not change.
Lao Xia proposed to leave his job due to physical reasons. Li Huaide wanted to leave his job, and since there was one less competitor, he naturally did not stop him, not even making any pretentious attempts to persuade him to stay. He readily signed the agreement and reported it. Everything was easier than Zhu Xuefeng imagined. Thinking that this was a special period, he felt relieved.
In the next few days, Lou Xiao'e also resigned directly from the vehicle factory due to physical reasons. This was not surprising. After her identity was exposed, even the workers who usually got along well subconsciously stayed away. Zhou Wenwen sent her out of the vehicle factory.
"Xiao'e, why don't you quit your job and just stay at home and be a housewife? You have learned so much, it would be a pity to let it rot in your stomach."
Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "Wenwen, don't ask, I'm very confused. See you again when we have the opportunity."
Watching Lou Xiao'e leave lonely, Zhou Wenwen felt very unhappy. It wasn't until Lou Xiao'e arrived at the entrance of the alley that he turned around and waved goodbye to her again, then waved his arms and returned to the factory silently.
…
"Is this really the case? We can't leave or leave."
Silly Zhu persisted with red eyes, Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "Why are you so confused? I've already told you that, no matter what, I am the daughter-in-law of the Lao He family, and this child is also a descendant of the Lao He family. We all agreed. You're such a big man, please don't be so hopeless. The child in my belly can't stand this kind of trouble again. If it happens again, it's really not safe. What do you think I should do?"
Silly Zhu lowered his head in distress and tore his hair. Seeing the man in so much pain, Lou Xiaoe persuaded him in a low voice.
"When I leave, you will be at ease, and the rain will not be affected. It is better for the children to go there and go to school than to stay here, like the two in the grandpa's house, who cannot study."
After a while, Shazhu finally raised his head and said, "Ezi, wait for me. The old lady's body is no longer good. When I finish serving the old lady, I will go find you."
Lou Xiao'e nodded and said no more.
The compound has changed a lot a few years ago, but the neighbors have selectively ignored it. They don't pay attention to what is going on outside the window and pass by with the door closed. It may be because of the cold weather. There are no more gatherings and chats. There are only The two Liu brothers in the backyard are very happy now. They wear red hoops every day, go out in high spirits, and come back beaming with joy. Even the Jia Zhang family in the middle courtyard seems to have stopped scolding endlessly and rarely walks around outside. .
"The sky has changed, the sky has changed."
The third uncle looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, then bent down and returned home.
"Why has the sky changed? The sky has changed. I think it's okay. It's rare that there's no north wind today." The third aunt asked while cleaning up.
"What do you know?" The third uncle did not explain.
"You said that this year is also weird. It's completely different from previous years. It's almost the Chinese New Year, but it doesn't look festive at all."
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. People are celebrating the New Year in the streets and alleys. Don't listen to the children singing in the alleys outside."
"What are you singing? Why didn't I hear it?"
At this moment, Niu Xiaoben from the backyard came into the yard with a few friends, and was still shouting happily, adding a lively atmosphere to the silent compound.
"It's better for children to be carefree."
The third uncle did not respond to the third aunt's inquiry. He said briefly that the children are happy now. There are no classes in school and no homework when they come home. They all just play and play.
Watching the door opposite open and close, there is no movement in the courtyard of the old Zhu family. There is only one young boy. The eldest son of the Zhu family occasionally shows up, but the second and third sons are nowhere to be seen.
There have also been changes in the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and his wife are living behind closed doors, and Yi Zhonghai is no longer seen spreading the yard. Qin Huairu's cousin from the Jia family has come again, and is even more beautiful. However, he finds that his second son has several children. The first time I secretly stared at someone, this kid has grown up.
Liu Haizhong, the old man, has become more honest and no longer shouts or shouts in the courtyard. I heard that he was criticized in the factory a few days ago. After he came back, he had another fight with Shazhu. Now he just closes the door when he comes home. Not even caring about his two sons.
The old lady's health is also getting worse day by day, and it is rare to see her walking around. This compound suddenly looks like an old man in his twilight years. There are obviously more than 20 households, but it is so quiet that it makes people panic.
Zhu Xuefeng also just returned to the compound. He came back a little late today. He was called over by Leader Hao and Uncle Kong. He chatted for a while and got some news at the same time.
Teacher Guo from Beijing University has been officially arrested. Director Guo did not run away. Both brothers and sisters were involved in the police. There must be no good things to eat. Surprisingly, his son Junjie was not found and he did not know where he was hiding. The Guo family's affairs have come to an end, and there is nothing to worry about anymore.
"I'm back. I'll wait for you to come back and have dinner. Hurry up. Your junior brother seems to have something to ask you."
As soon as he entered the main room in the middle courtyard, Xia Yuhong greeted him. Zhu Xuefeng took off his cotton-padded jacket, and Xia Yuhong helped hang it up.
"You didn't say anything?"
"No, I said we'll talk about it when you come back."
"Then invite us over to have dinner together, and let's chat while we eat." Xia Yuhong nodded and hurriedly made arrangements.
The weather was too cold, so several people poured a glass to keep them warm. "You two, let's eat."
"Well, you came back too late. Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhang had already finished drinking."
Now there are five young people in the yard, and they can have dinner together from time to time. The two old men always cook it happily, but they don't want to eat together, so Zhu Xuefeng can only let them.
After drinking two drinks together, Zhu Xuefeng finally started to ask. It turned out that the city bureau was once again undergoing a major reshuffle, and the two asked their senior brother again about his arrangements.
"All the bureau leaders have been changed, and no one has been retained. The division-level cadres have basically been changed." Xie Minghui briefly explained the situation.
"Even if we don't take the initiative to leave, it will be our turn soon." Zhou Xiaoyu added.
"Eat first, I understand." Zhu Xuefeng did not express his opinion. He learned some of the situation in the bureau in the afternoon. The new leader is very powerful. Taking advantage of the current situation, they are exchanging blood. As far as Zhu Xuefeng knows, the real situation is worse than Xie Minghui's. That's even more serious.
The only good news is that because Uncle Lu and his father came down a little early and had already been checked once, they were spared this time and were not implicated. He was considered a lucky person.
"Let's do this. We are going to Xiangjiang before the end of the year. We will go together then and we will talk about it after we get there. Is it okay for you two?"
It was winter, and everyone was worried that the dishes would get cold, so everyone moved quickly. Seeing that several people had finished eating, Zhu Xuefeng also put down his chopsticks and finally opened his mouth.
"No problem!" Xie Minghui still cherished his words like gold. "That's fine. No matter what happens these days, just endure it and don't let anything happen."
"Senior brother, don't worry, as long as I'm watching over him, there won't be any accidents." Zhou Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and said, "He looks pretty good at you, so you have to be careful."
"Sister-in-law, senior brother bullies people, and you don't care." Zhou Xiaoyu complained to Xia Yuhong with a smile. Xia Yuhong just smiled and got up to clean up. Zhou Xiaoyu hurriedly helped.
"I can't control him. Come on, come with me to wash the dishes and let them chat." Xia Yuhong seemed to have changed a lot since chatting with Xia's mother twice in a row.
Seeing the two of them clearing away the dishes, Zhu Xuefeng simply took Xie Minghui to the study room and chatted for a long time before coming out.
"Is everything arranged?" In the dead of night, Xia Yuhong couldn't help but ask. Zhu Xuefeng pinched her nose with a smile, "I thought you could hold it in and not ask. Why, you can't hold it in just now?" ”
"Hey, I don't think I can do what my mother said, so just say it."
The temperature was too low, so Xia Yuhong, who was under the quilt, was used to hugging the man and clinging to him.
"It has been arranged that they will go to Xiangjiang first, then transfer to the autonomous region, and enter the police system. They will first go to Pagang City Bureau to help sort out the police system, and then they will gradually be promoted, and finally be responsible for the police system of the autonomous region."< br>
"What about my parents? You said you didn't want to go with us. How did you arrange it? It's so mysterious that my mother doesn't even know."
"Don't talk about your mother. Your father doesn't even know. We have to wait. They are different from other people. Let's wait and see in the next year."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't explain too much, and Xia Yuhong didn't ask, knowing that if there was really a result, he would definitely tell her.
"Where is your junior sister Lin? Isn't she going to follow?"
Zhu Xuefeng scratched his head, "I really haven't thought about this. Let's ask again when we get a chance. The young deputy section chief has a bright future. Who knows whether she will be happy or not."
Xia Yuhong pinched the man's waist hard. The unexpected attack made Zhu Xuefeng almost cry out in pain, "How could you be so crazy again? You're so cruel."
"Who are you trying to fool? Sister Na and I have discussed it a long time ago. Your junior sister obviously has her whole heart attached to you. Don't pretend to be confused. Just because we don't say it doesn't mean we don't know. She is so beautiful and so beautiful." Infatuated, you are still pretending to be confused.”
Zhu Xuefeng just smiled and said, "There are so many beautiful women in the world. Let's forget it. You won't believe me even if I tell you. Go to bed quickly." But the man who was on guard remained indifferent no matter how much she tried.
The impact of the major events in Shanghai in January and Beijing in February continued to ferment. Xie Minghui and Zhou Xiaoyu were expelled as expected. It was said that nearly a thousand people were expelled from the public security system together. This accident made it easier for the two to leave.
Repulse Bay in Xiangjiang once again welcomed the return of its owner. When their car entered the villa, many people were already waiting in the yard.
"Brother, Sister-in-law Hong, you are here."
As soon as I got out of the car, the first person who rushed up was the little girl I hadn't seen for several months. She still looked like a ghost, but she was dressed more beautifully. Her two big braids turned into ponytails, which made her look even more energetic.
"My little sister is getting more and more beautiful. She may get used to staying here."
"Hehe, sister-in-law Qianqian has arranged everything. In less than half a year, I have grown two centimeters and gained two pounds."
"It's good. There will be no problem in studying."
"Brother, how many times have I told you, you don't have to worry about my studies, great."
"Hello, sir, and hello, young mistress." The three girls came up to greet each other. Zhu Xuefeng waved, "Don't worry about so many red tapes at home. Go in and talk."
In response to Zhu Xuefeng's words, Wu Qianqian just smiled and stepped forward to hold Xia Yuhong's hand, "Qianqian has met my sister."
Zhu Xuefeng could only express his speechlessness at Wu Qianqian's disobedience. He looked at the two Yang sisters standing behind at a loss and felt a headache. Needless to say, Wu Qianqian must have called these two back. Zhu Xuefeng did not give any instructions. I didn’t have any status yet, so I was extremely embarrassed standing there.
Wu Qianqian waved her hand, "You two sisters, come and see your sister!" Only then did Yang Lei and Yang Zhen step forward to meet Xia Yuhong.
Xia Yuhong was also confused. She was supposed to pay for the meeting gift, but the man didn't say that they were coming over at all. While hesitating, Zhu Xuemei on the side leaned over with a smile and whispered a few words. Xia Yuhong suddenly had two more in her hand. The little brocade box relieved the embarrassment.
Zhu Xuefeng just glanced at him and turned around and entered the hall without saying a word. When Wu Qianqian saw him, she quickly smiled and asked Xia Yuhong for help.
"The master seems to be unhappy. I need my sister to help me put in a good word soon."
Xia Yuhong had no choice but to laugh and scold him, "This damn ghost, the more shame you give him, the more shameless he becomes. Sister, you are working so hard here, but he doesn't even say a word. Don't worry, I will make the decision for you. I really take it seriously." I am a master now.”
A group of people entered the hall, but did not see Zhu Xuefeng. The housekeeper reported quietly, "The master has gone to the roof to see Mrs. Qiu. Let everyone do what they should do."
Wu Qianqian was startled, but as a well-informed woman, she still did not let the master's departure bring about a dull moment. The hall quickly became lively, and the two Yang sisters took Xia Yuhong to bathe and change clothes.
San Yatou and Zhu Xuemei happily went to the kitchen and continued to mess with the dinner they had prepared.
"Husband, I didn't go to greet you, please punish me."
"Why are there so many red tapes? This bothers me the most. You follow me around so many places and you still don't know my temper."
Only then did Qiu Hong smile, "Madam and Miss Yanzi will have to wait a few days before they can come."
"Well, I know, has there been any progress during these days?"
"I have some insights. Master Yang said that it will take me at least half a year to master it. It is quite difficult to practice the Qiankun in the Sleeve." Qiu Hong has been here for more than two months and has been practicing the Qiankun in the Sleeve under the guidance of Master Yang. , Zhu Xuefeng hopes she can master it as soon as possible.
During dinner, Zhu Xuefeng no longer had a straight face. He greeted everyone cordially and asked about their life, work and study situation. The atmosphere was very harmonious. They felt the man's concern and the two Yang sisters, who had always been anxious, felt relieved.
"Master, sister, the situation in Xiangjiang is very delicate now. Is it possible to buy real estate, stock market and acquire banks?" In the study, Wu Qianqian reported in detail the development throughout the year.
"Wait a minute, isn't it said that some people are coming to Kowloon? I got news that there will be turmoil in a few months, and the stock and property markets will be greatly affected." (End of Chapter)
