Chapter 93 Chapter 92

After Shi Yan made the phone call, she walked towards the fifth floor with a guilty conscience, not knowing what to say when she met Yao Xiaoping later.She remembered that she hadn't felt this way for a long time, but she often felt this way before, as if Zhuo Liang and Yao Xiaoping were really aphids and ladybugs, they were born enemies, and they couldn't get along well.She was caught between Zhuo Zhuo and Yao Xiaoping, neither on the left nor on the right.Later, when I moved out from Zhuoyue, I didn't feel this way anymore. I just wanted to share the joys and sorrows with Yao Xiaoping and shared the same goals.Why did this feeling come back now, as if she had just betrayed Yao Xiaoping, with a sense of guilt.

When I went upstairs, I saw that Yao Xiaoping had already set down the dining table, Yan Jing and Xiao Gang had already started, only Yao Xiaoping was still politely waiting there, when she saw her coming in, she immediately pointed to a bowl of rice and said, "That bowl is yours, Eat it quickly." She faltered and said, "I—I'm afraid I don't have time to eat, Zhuoyue said—come here to pick me up—" Yao Xiaoping smiled and said: "I knew it must be him who made the call, and now he will desperately get you back, so as not to let his opponent see the joke—"

"It's not that he's going to get me back, it's his mother—invite me to come over on New Year's Day—his mother has retired early in order to help us take care of the children—invited some guests—announce—" "Do you believe this kind of thing? You must have been kicked out by the group surnamed Wen. In order to save face, they used the child as a fig leaf. Otherwise, they will retire. What else is there to announce?" She hadn't thought of this yet, but after Yao Xiaoping reminded her, she didn't think it was completely impossible.But this only strengthened her determination to go to the party, because she sympathized with Aunt Jo.She faltered: "Regardless of his mother - why retired, at least she is willing to take care of the child - I am still very grateful - anyone who is willing to help my child - I am grateful to them -"

Yao Xiaoping asked: "Then are you going to move back?" "I—haven't figured it out yet—Jiaozhuo said that he—can help the child get a household registration—he said he has acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau, and the relationship is very strong—" Yao Xiaoping said suspiciously: "Can he register for the child? Didn't he keep talking about it two days ago and let the child have a black and black household? Could it be that his iron buddy from the Public Security Bureau only met these two days?" "Maybe he—forgot to mention it then?" Yao Xiaoping asked Yan Jing: "Yan, have you heard that Zhuo Zhuo has any acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau of City D?"

With a serious mouth full of rice, he pushed back and said, "Don't ask me, don't ask me. How would I know about him?" Shi Yan said: "Should there be some acquaintances? Anyway, when he issued the marriage certificate—it opened the back door—" "Issuing a marriage certificate is one thing, and registering a household registration is another thing. Different back doors are difficult to open. Getting a marriage certificate is nothing. No one will check where there is an extra marriage certificate. But registering a household registration Is it that easy to suddenly have an extra person and an extra ration? Also, where did he get the marriage certificate? It’s not in city D at all, but in the suburbs. The child’s household registration is with the mother’s , unless your account is also registered in the suburbs, otherwise even if he has a back door, he will not be able to get your child's account."

She was confused: "Then--do you want to go to his mother's place or not?" "His mother should go there. With a little effort, she can save face for her and have a meal. Why don't you go? I guess Zhuoyou didn't tell his mother that you moved out at all, and kept pretending in front of his mother. It looks like a happy marriage, that's why his mother was kept in the dark, so she invites these guests, if you don't go—her mother will lose face in front of those guests—" "But you said that Zhuoyou couldn't register—" "That's another matter, and I'm not sure that he can't get in. I just told you not to expect too much from him. I think he is a person who can do anything for his own face. He is now You get it back, don't embarrass him in front of his mother, and don't let his mother embarrass him. He makes a wish indiscriminately, but if you really expect him to fulfill one by one, nine out of ten will fail. You are on your own, and he is walking now Downhill, don't mess with him—"

She didn't agree with this: "It's because he is going downhill now that I treat him—I can't be cruel, I don't like to do things that make people worse—" Yao Xiaoping grinned: "As soon as you are upright, you have no nose and no eyes. If you don't throw trouble, it depends on who you are. If a sheep falls in the well, of course you shouldn't throw trouble. If a wolf falls in the well, you don't want to throw trouble." Shouldn't you be insulting? If you don't add insult to injury, it will jump out and bite you to death!" "but--"

"Forget it, don't embarrass yourself. I didn't ask you to get into trouble. I just told you to be on guard against him. He is going downhill now, and he hopes that you will go downhill more than him, so that he can maintain his psychological advantage in front of you. , you can ask him for something. Be careful that he will secretly step on you a few times for his own advantage—" "How else can he step on me?" "These things are hard to say, and I can't think of how he could step on you now. The only thing I can think of is to use this child to force you to go back. For a person like him, you must try to hold him by the nose, and not let him He held your nose."

"You always talk about holding his nose, I don't know how to hold his nose—" Yao Xiaoping said with a smile: "I really don't want to say it here, lest I listen carefully, and I won't let you lead me." Eating his meal rigorously, Yao Xiaoping said: "Let me tell you, whatever he asks of you is his bullshit. You have to hold him back and make terms with him. He won't agree to your request." , you don’t agree to his request. Things like this moving back are excellent bullshit. If you move back first, it will be in his hands whether you can get a registered permanent residence, so you must not move back now , You tell him: I will move back when you register your child’s household registration.”

The boring gourd Yan Jing suddenly interjected: "Then if he says you don't move back, I won't register for you?" "Then he should have a cut in his nose!" "But you didn't get your registered permanent residence, so both sides will suffer." Shi Yan thinks that rigorousness is actually very clear in her heart, but she doesn't like to talk so much.He was more thoughtful than Yao Xiaoping about the matter of the cow's nose.That's the reason. Pulling the nose of a cow is easy to say, but difficult to do. If it is loosened, it will not work. If it is tightened, the nose will be pulled open, and the cow will still run away.But before she had time to ask the bull-nosed master, rigorous, what is the appropriate tightness, the bull had already come to the door.

Because she was discussing holding his nose, she couldn't change her expression now, she was very embarrassed, but she saw that Yao Xiaoping had already changed her face, as if she had been waiting for Zhuoyue to come to dinner just now, and now she finally came, she said with a smile on her face: "Teacher Zhuo is finally here, sit down, I'll serve you a meal—" Zhuo Zhuo stood at the door and refused to come in, and said with a strong voice: "Mr. Yao, I want to take Yan'er home and go to my mother's place for dinner on New Year's Day. I wonder if you approve our husband and wife reunion?" Yao Xiaoping chuckled: "Approved, approved, not only approved, but also wanted to follow to make money. Just now I was asking Shi, did your mother-in-law invite me to dinner?" Shi Yan wished that Yao Xiaoping could be taken there to embolden her, and she hoped that Zhuoyue would be a favor and invite Yao Xiaoping's family of three. It would be more lively if there were more people, wouldn't it just pay three extra dishes? Zhuoyou said implicitly: "If Teacher Yao can go, it will really be full of glory, but the guests are all invited by my mother, and they are all from her circle—" Yao Xiaoping said: "They are all officials? Then I am embarrassed to join in the fun, don't lower the grade of your family's party—" "I have to thank you for taking care of our Yan'er during this time, and for sharing your valuable experience with her selflessly. People who have been educated by you must be different. Look at your son——" "Ms. Zhuo is a teacher after all, so I can see our Xiaogang's progress. Thanks to me, I hugged my son off the railing that day. Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter for my son to be scrapped. If Mr. Zhuo was implicated and went to jail, That would be a great loss for the country—” "You said that day? Hehe, how did that happen? I didn't hold him up to the railing and sit, everyone can see who is responsible. Teacher Yao, everyone is doing the work of teaching and educating people, and set an example The most important thing is to set a shining example for your children, and the most important thing is not to follow others, add insult to injury, male robbers and female prostitutes—” Yan Jing yelled at Yao Xiaoping, "Eat, eat!" Then he said to Zhuo Zhuo, "Old Zhuo, go wherever you want to go. Shi hasn't eaten yet. If you say a few more words, the day lily is cold—" Shi Yan said in a low voice: "Yao, then I will go, so that I can give this place to you—Reunion, I wish you a happy new year!" Yao Xiaoping said, "You too." She added: "I——I'll be back after New Year's Day——" Yao Xiaoping said insinuatingly: "You'd better wait for Teacher Zhuo to decide whether you will come back or not, otherwise, someone will blame me for their own responsibility—" Zhuoyou wanted to talk back again, but Shi Yan gave him a hard look, and finally took his next words back to his stomach.She learned the lesson from last time this time, and she didn't foolishly carry the big and small bags, so as not to have to bother Yan Jing to help her move things. She only packed a few changes of clothes and put them in a bag. Said, "Let's go." Zhuo Zhuo asked: "Just bring this little thing?" "Let's talk about it after New Year's Day - then you can - come back and get it -" Her tone was very firm, and he didn't say anything. This time, the two still lived in one bedroom and one in the living room.The next day was the last day of that year, Zhuo Zhuo insisted that she follow her to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, she didn’t want to go when she saw the cold weather, she pushed him many times, but he refused to let go, she thought he might want to tell everyone about his What a happy family life.Thinking of his current political dissatisfaction, and his mother being forced to retire early, and now he is relying on her to save face for him, he felt sympathetic and resolutely went to the vegetable market with him. When the two of them came back from buying vegetables against the cold wind, she was the one who did the cooking. After finishing cooking, the two of them sat down to eat. Zhuo Zhuo drank a few glasses of red wine, but she didn't drink it at all.After he drank, he talked more, talking about his ambitions, wishing that he would destroy Wen, take back everything that Wen took away, take it back twice, and so on. She's really not interested in these things, but she's also too lazy to argue with him.She came here because of his mother's party, and because she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that he had acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau who could help the child get the household registration, and because she didn't want to be too cold when he went downhill Besides, she didn't want to be caught in Yao Yan's family of three during the new year.Let's assume that she came out to stay in the hotel and gave up the dormitory to Yao's family of three to celebrate New Year's Day, so she didn't want to say much about the hotel owner's political ambitions. In the evening, after taking a shower, Zhuoyou came to the bedroom to look for things in a tank top and shorts, but she was already indifferent, looking at his bare torso and his small tent, she had no special feeling up.Before he climbed into the bed, she ran to the bathroom, stayed there for a while, and then opened the door to come out, and saw that he had got into the quilt on the sofa, lying there watching TV. She wanted to take a few steps to the bedroom, but was stopped by him: "Yan'er, go to bed so early? Come on, watch TV. Today is the last day of the year, at least wait until the New Year's bell rings before going to sleep, right?" She evaded and said, "I'm—so tired, I have to get up early tomorrow—" Then she went into the bedroom, closed the door, and tied it. He was still watching TV outside, and when the New Year's bell rang on the TV, she shed tears.
