Chapter 286 A Different Taste
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chu Heng had just sent the somewhat drunk Liu Guangtian away when he saw Lou Xiao'e walking into the courtyard from outside the gate.
She was so radiant yesterday, but now she looks extremely haggard.
A pair of eyes were red and swollen, and the mature face with a hint of charm was covered with sadness and sadness that could not be concealed.
"Sister Lou...is back." Chu Heng greeted her with a complicated face, and his mood was infected unconsciously.
"Oh, I'm back."
This sentence touched the softness in Lou Xiao'e's heart, and her eyes instantly became wet.
If it were not for the beast Xu Damao, she would have formed a new family with Silly Zhu in this bustling courtyard, and she would have a good man who loved her and doted on her.
But now, not only has she lost her new home, she can’t even keep her parents’ home!
Lou Xiao'e bit her lip hard, holding back the grievance in her heart to prevent herself from crying. She turned her head and looked at Chu Heng not far away, the man who had made her sleepless at night. , with a sad smile on his face, he said sincerely: "Hengzi, you should live a good life with Yinghong from now on. She is a good girl, and you are also a capable and good man. I believe you can be happy."
After leaving this irrelevant remark, she hurriedly turned back and walked into the courtyard, fearing that she would be seen crying.
Chu Heng stared blankly at her plump back, with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Anyone else might not understand why Lou Xiaoe suddenly mentioned this, but he knew very well that this was her saying goodbye to him.
In her opinion at this time, a farewell was almost like saying goodbye forever.
Lou Xiao'e soon arrived at the middle courtyard. She looked deeply into Silly Zhu's room and could vaguely see a sturdy figure lying on the bed. That was the down-to-earth man she was going to entrust to her for the rest of her life.
She reluctantly looked away and hurried to the backyard.
Lou Xiao'e went straight to the door of Xu Damao's house and stood there. After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and knocked on the door that she was very familiar with.
“Dong dong dong!”
Not long after, Xu Damao, who was taking a nap on the bed, walked out of the room. When he saw her coming, he sneered and asked: "The surname is Lou, Have you figured it out?”
"This is for you!" Lou Xiao'e threw the bag she carried on her back to him, suppressed the anger in her heart, glared at him bitterly, gritted her teeth and said: "We have already met your conditions, I hope you will abide by them. Your promise.”
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I will naturally not break my promise."
Xu Damao smiled sadly, opened the bag and took a look, and saw a pile of unity inside, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.
The Lou family is really fat!
You must eat a few more bites!
"I hope you will keep your word." Lou Xiao'e really didn't want to face this ugly face, so she slammed the door, turned around and left the courtyard.
If there is no accident, she should never come back again in this life.
Xu Damao didn't care about her attitude. After taking the money and going back to the house to check it out, he left the house with a wad of unity and rushed towards the cadre building of the steel rolling mill, ready to find it. Li Fugui reported on his work.
He now understands the importance of money more and more.
……
The next day. As soon as Chu Heng arrived at the work, some fishing friends came to the grain store excitedly to find him, wanting to ask him to go to the Ming Tombs to catch big fish with him.
If it were normal, he would definitely not be happy, but today he had to wait for Du San to report the situation, and he really couldn't leave.
“It’s really bad today, there’s something going on in the store.” Chu Heng refused the fishing friend with itching heart.
“What a coincidence.” Seeing that he could not go, the fishing friends were disappointed.
Without this wealthy man’s bicycle, he wouldn’t be able to go to the Ming Tombs by himself. That’s dozens of kilometers. He wouldn’t be able to go until dark just by relying on his legs?
But the fishing friend really wanted to go there and experience the experience. He thought of the generous style of the big dog owners. After hesitating for a moment, he said with some embarrassment and shamelessness: "Then... can you lend me your bicycle? That place. It’s too far. I can’t go there without a car.”
The status of bicycles these days is similar to that of motor vehicles in later generations. It’s like a treasure. If it weren’t for a very good relationship, it would be absolutely perfect. It will not be loaned out.
When the fishing friends spoke to him, they just wanted to give it a try.
What if someone agrees?
Fortunately, Chu Heng didn’t value that bicycle very much. He had always regarded it as a means of transportation. He threw the car key away without any hesitation and said casually: “This is useful. If it doesn’t work, just take it and ride it. Just bring it back to me before you get off work.”
"Thank you, thank you so much. I will definitely come before you get off work."
The fishing friend happily took the key and ran out of the grain store happily. After a while, he got on his bicycle and kicked off the dust. go.
At this time, Aunt Sun, who had listened to their entire conversation, came over and asked curiously: "Xiao Chu, what happened in the store today?"
"What happened? Ah, I'm just tired and want to take a day off." Chu Heng explained with a smile, then turned back to the office and started his busy work of drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
Midday.
Chu Heng had just had lunch and was about to go for a walk on the street to digest his food when he met Du San who was walking to the grain store.
"Just waiting for you." He quickly brought the person into the office. After pouring the tea and handing over the cigarettes, he hurriedly asked: "What did you discover yesterday?"
"Last night at midnight, a group of relatives came to the Lou family. At about three o'clock, the group drove out a truck. I followed it to the outside of the city on my bicycle and stopped following it for fear of being discovered." Du The third man picked up the teapot and took a sip, then his expression changed. He pushed it aside in disgust, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him, saying: "The car went to several houses, and a lot of people, young and old, were pulled out of it. I have recorded the locations of several houses on it. Take a look."
Chu Heng quickly took it and took a look. When he saw that the positions of the places above were completely consistent with the information Liu Guangtian gave him, a very complicated smile appeared on his face.
That moment is finally coming!
After putting the things away, he thought about it and told Du San: "Be more careful these days. If you see the Lou family going out at night, you must notify me as soon as possible."
"Understood." Du San nodded and glanced at the tea on the table. He was a little thirsty and couldn't help but take it and take a sip. Then he frowned and said: "I said Mr. Chu, what kind of tea did you, the chief director, drink? It’s too weak! Bring me some of the tea my friend gave me later. The flavor is a hundred times stronger than yours!”
"You know what the heck, I'm a serious West Lake Longjing tea, and I can't even drink it if I'm not high enough. I got this tea from my second uncle." Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him.
"Really? I'll try it again." Du Sanyi heard that it was so high-end and quickly picked it up and took another sip. After savoring it carefully, it really had a different fragrance.
Well, it’s the smell of power.
