Chapter 496 Contradictions
Du Fei helped Xu Daimao and Lou Xiao'e clean up the house briefly.
In fact, there is not much work left, the couple came back this afternoon.
Xu Daimao specially asked for leave, and he has been busy for a long time.
When Du Fei got off work, there was only the finishing touches.
Wait until the quilt to be dried and the things brought back from Lou's house are smashed into the house.
Lou Xiaoe came back from the middle courtyard early, and went to the old lady's house to sit for a while.
On Xu Daimao's side, he was already prepared to invite Du Fei to drink.
In addition to luncheon meat and sausage, the family also prepared a roast chicken and fried two vegetarian dishes, enough to drink.
When the dishes were finished, Lou Xiao'e also came back from the old lady's house, holding a pair of very beautiful tiger-toed shoes in her hand.
As soon as he entered the room, he showed off: "Look, this is what the old lady made for the puppy! Isn't it beautiful~"
"Good-looking, good-looking." Xu Daimao said with a chuckle, as long as it involves children, he will do nothing wrong.
Du Fei also stretched his neck and took a look.
Needless to say, the old lady's needlework is really good!
If it weren't for the fact that I am getting older and my eyes are not working so well, it would definitely be better when I was young.
After putting away the little tiger shoes, Lou Xiao'e sat down carefully.
Xu Daimao waited on the side, filled a bowl of white rice and handed it over.
Then he winked with Du Fei, and said hehe: "Brother, today we are opening foreign meat." As he said that, he brought a bottle of foreign brand wine from the side: "The white wine I got from my old man... Ezi, what's the matter with Bai?"
"Brandy~" Lou Xiao'e rolled his eyes at him, and then said to Du Fei: "Xiao Du, this is Martell cognac. My dad is not willing to drink it after it has been stored for many years."
Although Du Fei didn't pay special attention to brandy, he knew about Martell Cognac.
It is estimated that Lou Hongyi is going to be in pain.
Xu Daimao quickly followed along: "Yes, it's brandy."
As he said that, he twisted off the bottle cap, and the cork attached to the bottom of the bottle cap was pulled out, making a "pop" sound.
Then Du Fei saw this guy and poured the expensive Martell wine into two small enamel tea mugs.
Passed a cup to Du Fei, picked it up by himself, raised it up and said, "Brother, come on, let's go together!"
As he said, he raised his neck and came to do it first.
After clinking glasses, Du Fei looked at it and smelled the so-called aroma of wine.
But it didn't smell anything special.
Because brandy is distilled from wine, it is said to have a special fruity aroma.
But compared with all kinds of Chinese liquors, foreign wines are inferior in aroma.
Afterwards, Du Fei also finished it in one gulp.
The enamel jar is not big, and Xu Daimao didn't pour much, only about one or two.
After drinking it in one sip, there is indeed some grape flavor, as well as a smell of oak barrels and smoke, and finally a faint bitter taste.
Generally speaking, it is not bad to drink, but it is not really delicious.
At least Du Fei felt that it was far worse than Fenjiu and Xifeng. The Lingchuan he drank at Chen Zhongyuan's house earlier was better than this.
And Du Fei also drank some brands of cognac before crossing.
According to Lou Hongyi's identity, his bottle of Martell must be the best.
But when it was delivered to the mouths of Du Fei and Xu Daimao, they were all chewing peonies.
Not only did Du Fei fail to drink well, Xu Daimao was even more frowning, sticking out his tongue: "Hey~ what is this! It's not as good as Erguotou~"
Du Fei laughed and said, "Then I'll buy you a bottle of Erguotou, should I change it?"
Xu Daimao curled his lips: "I'm just thinking about good things, who will change it for you. Don't care if it's good or not, this guy is expensive!"
The two chatted and drank.
After a while, Lou Xiaoe got off the table after eating, and went to the back room to rest.
The remaining two, Du Fei and Xu Daimao, turned to the current situation while talking, and Xu Daimao expressed concern.
And asked Du Fei where he would go.
Although Du Fei's halo in Xu Daimao's heart has faded a bit after leaving the courtyard during this period of time, the omnipotent golden body he established earlier is still there.
Moreover, Du Fei reckoned that Xu Daimao would be able to bring out the good wine that his father-in-law treasured during this meal, and the Lou family would also like to hear what he said.
Du Fei didn't rush to talk, put down the cup and took out the cigarette.
He didn't have the nerve to smoke with Lou Xiao'e just now, and just after eating and drinking, he didn't have time to smoke.
Now, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, I have leisure.
Passed one to Xu Daimao, then lighted it and took a deep breath, but asked instead: "Brother Mao, is this what Director Lou wants to ask?"
Xu Daimao didn't hide it either, and nodded immediately.
Du Fei said: "Then I don't understand. It's already at this time. Could it be that Director Lou still can't understand? Why are you still taking a chance?"
Xu Daimao's expression changed slightly.
Du Fei's words have shown that the situation may be worse than they expected.
Xu Daimao couldn't help swallowing: "Is it really that serious?"
Du Fei said "hmm": "You don't know outside, but you don't know what's going on in the factory?"
Xu Daimao fell silent.
Du Fei was a little curious: "By the way, what was Director Lou thinking? Didn't he think about going out to avoid it?"
Xu Daimao sighed: "Hey~ You don't know, my father-in-law offended a lot of people before liberation. Besides, Hong Kong is also smashing the bone and sucking the marrow. Even if you give up all the property of the Lou family, you can't guarantee the safety of the family. .”
Du Fei suddenly realized.
It turned out that it wasn't that Lou Hongyi couldn't see that the situation was critical, but that he was in a dilemma.
Although Xu Daimao didn't say who it is, the person the Lou family offended must be very difficult to mess with...
Early the next morning.
Du Fei woke up again from the dream of crushing the boulder in his chest.
Depressedly looking at Xiaowu lying on his body, he began to think about finding a rope to tie this thing when he went to bed at night.
Last night, at Xu Daimao's house, they drank until nine o'clock.
A bottle of Martell killed most of the bottle.
It was rare for Xu Daimao to not be too drunk.
In the past few months, he has indeed grown a lot.
To put it aside, on this occasion, Xu Daimao had to drink and get down.
Now I know enough is enough, and I have the ability to control myself initially.
But Xu Daimao revealed the situation yesterday.
The current situation of the Lou family is not very good.
It is not good to go, and it is not good to stay.
If there is no way to deal with it, or to find a strong enough backer, Lou Hongyi and his wife may be doomed.
On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e's problem is not difficult to solve.
Although the status of the Lou family is not good, but Lou Xiao'e married Xu Daimao, she is from the Xu family, and she is still pregnant.
As long as he made it clear that he had drawn a clear line with his family, with Xu Daimao's current relationship with Li Mingfei, it would not be difficult to keep Lou Xiao'e.
But protecting Lou's father and Lou's mother was far beyond his ability.
Lou Hongyi, a well-known big capitalist before liberation, not to mention Xu Daimao, even Li Mingfei, dare not say that he can keep it, and has to speak out from above.
Du Fei tidied up and went to work.
After holding back for three days, Aunt Zheng finally couldn't hold back anymore, and started cooing with some old women in the office as soon as she came in the morning.
Du Fei entered the room and listened.
It seems to be talking about Yanda, something happened again yesterday.
It is said that the leader seems to be a student surnamed Kang...
When Du Fei heard this, he immediately thought of Kang Dazhong in Chen Fangshi's mouth.
But Aunt Zheng only heard about this, and she didn't know more.
And soon Section Chief Qian arrived, and those old women hurriedly went back to everyone.
Section Chief Qian didn't say anything, and went into the small office on his own.
After tidying up a few times inside, he called out: "Xiao Du, come here."
Du Fei responded, got up quickly and went over, calling "Uncle".
If it is a particularly formal matter, Section Chief Qian will call Du Fei directly, not Xiao Du.
But now there is no one else in the house, most of it is a private matter.
Section Chief Qian said: "I remember hearing that you said that the third master of your school is surnamed Yan, and he is the teacher of Hongxing Primary School, right?"
Du Fei was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Ah~ yes, I also became the logistics director of their school recently."
Section Chief Qian narrowed his eyes: "That's right, it's him."
Du Fei said, "He recruited you?"
Section Chief Qian snorted: "I found someone from the housing management office, and he just wanted to take the house on our street with empty teeth. He is very calculating."
Du Fei immediately knew what was going on.
The third master also mentioned this matter to him last time, but it was related to section chief Qian, so Du Fei rejected it.
Unexpectedly, the third master did not give up, and even found someone from the housing management office.
Du Fei said: "Uncle, you want to..."
Section Chief Qian waved his hand and interrupted: "I don't need you, this matter is a grudge between me and their principal Zhang. You don't need to join in, this is Yan, do you know what he is?"
Du Fei frowned and said, "What's wrong with him? He's just an ordinary teacher with average family conditions, and he's a well-known stingy guy in our school. Recently, for some reason, he got the hang of it. He probably became the logistics director through the relationship of their principal. .”
Section Chief Qian nodded and rolled his eyes a few times: "Okay, I understand, don't worry about this matter."
Du Fei gave a "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
Since Section Chief Qian said so, he must have his own calculations.
Wait until noon.
After Du Fei finished his meal in the small cafeteria, he went to the trust store while he still had time.
Last time, Xiao Zhang from the police station raised a word with him, saying that the salesperson of the trust store had harmed the man who sold the Wangfu waist card.
Du Fei made up his mind and went over there to ask Wei Sanye and Yang Weiguo.
Originally wanted to go on Sunday, but Zhu Ting said she wanted to go boating in Beihai Park on Sunday.
Du Fei simply took the time to go there at noon.
If you still have time, stop by the food station to see Chu Cheng, and see if this guy is happy in his newlywed life.
It's a little cloudy today.
But it didn't feel cool, instead it was hot and stuffy, and it should be raining.
Du Fei rode his bicycle, headed north along Andingmen Street, and arrived at the trust store of Huoshen Temple in a short while.
He has been familiar with the roads since he came here, he has stored his bicycle at the door, and was about to walk inside, when someone behind him called: "Brother Du, is that you?"
When Du Fei turned his head, he saw Yang Weiguo trotting along the street, came to him, and said with a smile, "Brother Du, it's really you! I just looked like you at the other end."
Du Fei said, "Go out for dinner?"
Yang Weiguo scratched his head and said, "I'm just fooling around, let's talk inside."
As he said that, he was going to take Du Fei to the store.
But was dragged by Du Fei: "Don't rush in, go up and ask you something."
Yang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and followed Du Fei to the corner of the trust store, where no one was around: "Brother Du, if you have anything to ask, just ask."
Du Fei said: "Something happened to your unit a few days ago?"
Yang Weiguo was also clever, and immediately realized: "You are talking about Zhang Jian?"
"Zhang Jian?" Du Fei had never heard of this name.
Yang Weiguo explained: "Zhang Jian is a salesperson in our store. He used to be in charge of selling old clothes. Two days ago, he was suddenly taken away by the police station, saying that he killed someone. Is this the case?"
Du Fei confirmed: "The victim's surname is Zhou."
"That's it!" Yang Weiguo immediately said: "By the way, I remember that you were also here that time. The man sold a brand, and the shop offered [-], but he insisted on selling it for [-], and even made a big fuss." It made a big fuss, and finally alarmed the police station."
Du Fei nodded, and asked again: "How much do you know about this matter, tell me all about it."
"This..." Yang Weiguo hesitated a little, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Brother Du, this is not a place to talk, follow me upstairs."
Du Fei's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Yang Weiguo like this, he should know something.
After a while, Du Fei followed Yang Weiguo into the trust store, and found an empty office on the second floor.
Yang Weiguo closed the door behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Brother Du, why are you asking this question?"
Of course, Du Fei didn't need to explain to him, he said in a deep voice, "What? What's the problem?"
Yang Weiguo said: "It's not that there is any problem, just... After all, Zhang Jian belonged to our store, and the one who was killed was a seller in the store. If this matter is really going to spread, I don't know how to arrange it! So , Our director ordered early in the morning that this matter cannot be spread, and if anyone spreads it, it will be counted as rumors and incitement, and he will be fired directly and sent to the police station."
Du Fei could understand this kind of warning.
Ordinarily, this matter has nothing to do with the trust store. If that Zhang Jian is not a salesperson, he is a customer shopping in the store, and he encountered the situation at the beginning.
If you keep your eyes on the signboard of Prince Qing's Mansion, you will also drug it and steal it.
But he happened to be from the store, so it inevitably aroused a lot of speculation, and it was easy to think that there was something shady about the trust store.
But understanding belongs to understanding, but what should be asked is still asked.
Du Fei said: "What do you say, if you really want to be fired, I will arrange a place for you."
In fact, it is said to be fired, but at this time, it is really not easy to fire workers.
Yang Weiguo hurriedly said: "Brother Du, that's not what I mean, it's just that I told you, you must never spread the word."
"You have to say it~" Du Fei said angrily, "Hurry up, stop talking nonsense."
Hearing Du Fei scolding him, Yang Weiguo smiled, and hurriedly said: "Actually, that's what happened..."
Du Fei listened carefully, but couldn't help frowning.
Because Yang Weiguo's rhetoric is quite different from what he heard from Xiao Zhang in the police station.
There are even some places that simply contradict each other, diametrically opposed to each other!
