Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

After dinner, Xiangmei called Qiqi a few times, and the child feebly agreed.I endured it for a while, but still didn't come out.Hongyu brought the food early, and went into the room to call: "Qiqi, it's time to eat." Then Qiqi followed Hongyu and came out tired.Zhu Huaijing couldn't say anything about him, so he only looked at Xiangmei.Xiangmei was also a little helpless and shook her head quietly.Xiangmei kept adding vegetables to Qiqi's bowl, and said softly, "Qiqi should eat more vegetables, and don't be a partial eclipse." Qiqi always only said two words: "Good!" Zhu Huaijing looked at his son's stiff hair , Said: "Qiqi wants to talk more, if mom and dad call you, respond immediately, don't come out after endless calls." Qiqi said again: "Okay!" But he didn't even lift his eyelids.Xiangmei looked at Zhu Huaijing and shook her head, signaling him not to talk too much, lest her son get bored.

After the whole family finished their dinner, Qiqi washed up and went into the room to do her homework.Yin Yufu and his wife came on time.There is no need to be too polite, Yin Yufu went to Qiqi to help with homework, and Xiang Jie helped Hongyu clean up the dishes.After Zhu Huaijing took a shower, he sat in the living room and watched TV a few times. He was not interested, so he went into the study to read.He went to buy a set of Jin Yong's complete works, and found it quite interesting to read.I was planning to meet Fan Dongyang with many topics in the future, but I really fell in love with it.He heard the phone ring from time to time, but he didn't answer it.There were a few groups who insisted on coming, but he didn't see them, so he asked Xiangmei to accompany them to chat outside, and then sent them away.

Some people dangled in front of Zhu Huaijing's eyes every day, and he wanted to get angry when he saw them.But I can't get angry, I have to smile with them and chat with them a few words.Such as Yin Yufu, such as Dr. Zhu.There are also several people who come to sit for an hour every now and then.The house is becoming a club for these helpers.Zhu Huaijing had a good impression when he met Dr. Zhu for the first time.I thought to myself that a doctor of medicine cannot be obtained by fooling around.But after seeing each other a few times, I felt this person's pettiness and obsequiousness.I thought to myself, what kind of tricks can a person who is a scholar go to the official's house every day to make a name for himself?But Dr. Zhu kept coming to his house, and within a month, he became the director of the general internal medicine department.In fact, Zhu Huaijing didn't say a word for him.Maybe it's because he always flaunts his relationship with Zhu Huaijing in the hospital.Zhu Huaijing saw that he kept claiming his family, so he felt that he did not have the taste of a scholar.

There is never a quiet day at home.I also blame him and his wife for treating guests too kindly.It seems that sometimes you still have to work it out, don't be afraid of offending others, making it difficult for you to live a normal life. Xiangmei knocked on the door, it turned out that Dr. Zhu came again tonight.Dr. Zhu is a doctor after all, so we should be more polite to him.Zhu Huaijing invited him to sit down and said with a smile, "Dr. Zhu, what research have you been doing recently?" Dr. Zhu said modestly: "It's still an old topic, brain nerve bypass technology."

In fact, every time we meet, Zhu Huaijing asks this question.Brain nerve bypass has long been a mature technology in regional hospitals. It is said that Dr. Zhu is engaged in in-depth research and has some connection with computers.Dr. Zhu is an expert in internal medicine, but he is engaged in surgical research. God knows why.Zhu Huaijing always asks old questions, appearing absent-minded.Dr. Zhu was always flattered, because he could sit in the study, while everyone else was sent away because Xiangmei blocked them. Zhu Huaijing's face was polite, but his heart was quite contemptuous.The two of them couldn't find a common topic, so they said whatever came to mind, which was very embarrassing.Dr. Zhu suddenly saw Zhu Huaijing on the table, so he started talking about Jin Yong. "Secretary Zhu, do you also like Jin Yong's novels? Then we both have common hobbies. I went to medical school for five years, and then I studied for a master's degree and a Ph.D., and all helped Jin Yong's novels, which are my spiritual food." Doctor Zhu chattered endlessly. , Zhu Huaijing listened patiently, didn't say a word, just laughed.

After Qiqi finished her homework, Yin Yufu and his wife came to say hello and left.Dr. Zhu was also inconvenient to sit for a long time, so he also left.Zhu Huaijing called Xiangmei and said: "Yin Yufu and his wife are like this every day, I am very embarrassed. And this little Zhu, really." Xiangmei went over to cover the door and said, "It's because they are embarrassed. To be honest, I am very upset, but I can't say it." Zhu Huaijing said: "It's really hard to say. Yin Yufu still tutored his son after all." Xiangmei said: "I'd rather pay for a tutor than I can't stand their hospitality. I also heard that Yin Yufu is always bragging outside, saying how good you are to him, and often giving him cigarettes and alcohol."

Zhu Huaijing smiled, and said, "Let him speak." But he thought in his heart, it's not bad for me if he brags so much, and it seems that I am a corporal.Interesting, I gave him two cigarettes, even if I often give him cigarettes and alcohol. Xiangmei said: "Xiang Jie always said that his old Yin has been in charge of the vice principal for almost a year, and he hasn't become a regular. I think he and his wife want you to talk?" Zhu Huaijing asked, "Is Yin Yufu the vice principal?" Xiangmei said: "Xiang Jie said that Yin Yufu was in charge of the work after the principal was transferred to the Mei'a City Education Committee as the deputy director, but he has never clarified his position as the principal. He said that the former principal had conflicts with him, and he became the deputy director of the Education Committee. Always stuck on him."

Zhu Huaijing said: "The couple of them think too simply. The deputy director of the Mea City Education Committee is only a department-level cadre. No matter how unusual the principal of the No. 1 Middle School is, he is probably a department-level official? Is my deputy secretary of the prefectural committee going to Have you ever asked about the appointment of a section-level cadre?" Xiangmei said: "I think you can mention it to their city leaders when you are convenient. I think you only need to mention Yin Yufu's name, and they will understand." Zhu Huaijing laughed and said, "It seems that you have also entered the Tao. I, the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, may as well be you. I'm afraid it's more like it."

Xiangmei also laughed, "Are you afraid that I won't be the deputy secretary of yours? The two of us change positions. During the holidays, I hide in the hotel, and you deal with others at home. Think about it, I am alone at home. People who have to deal with you, and people who have to deal with my own financial system. No day is a peaceful day. There were five people who came just now, and only two were looking for me." Zhu Huaijing sighed: "Well, being an official also has its difficulties. If you don't know, you might think that we are greedy for these petty gains."

Xiangmei said: "This time, I put the mooncakes for other people's festivals at Simao's for sale, and there are still a lot left. I'm afraid I have to throw them away at home. I can't eat them, and I can't put them away. harm." Zhu Huaijing said: "How do you throw it? Don't throw it, it will have a bad effect." Xiangmei said: "No one at home likes to eat it, so it can't be left there to cause mold?" Zhu Huaijing thought about it and said, "It's really troublesome." "Just throw it away." Xiangmei said. Zhu Huaijing said: "I really can't throw it away. You don't know. A few years ago, Secretary Wu of the Municipal Party Committee threw a moldy cured fish into the trash can after the Spring Festival. An old cadre didn't let it go, so he picked it up and ate it. He ended up eating it. Something went wrong. What do you think? It may be too moldy. The old cadre was poisoned and hospitalized after eating it. He died. The family members didn't make sense and went to Secretary Wu's house to make a noise. The impact was very bad. it is good."

Xiangmei said: "How can you say so mysterious?" Zhu Huaijing said: "I think so, let's go to the bathroom." "Blocking the bathroom won't kill people?" Zhu Huaijing thought for a while and said, "We have to work hard on ourselves, soak the mooncakes in water, and pour them into the bathroom." Xiangmei smiled and said, "Thank you for thinking it out." Xiangmei went out and asked Hongyu to go to bed early.Hongyu is very well-behaved, and she has to wait until Zhu Huaijing and his wife have a rest every day before going to bed.The couple sat and talked for a while, guessing that Hongyu might have fallen asleep, so they opened the boxes of mooncakes.The box is still stacked in the cabinet, and it is kept and thrown away every now and then.The price on the box ranges from thousands to hundreds of yuan, and rarely tens of yuan a box. Xiangmei shook her head and said, "What a crime!" Zhu Huaijing said: "How can a box of moon cakes be worth so much money? It's outrageous, what a huge profit!" Xiangmei said: "What kind of mooncakes are you giving? It's a waste of money! The box of mooncakes we saved for Mid-Autumn Festival is 2,888 yuan, and it doesn't have any special taste?" There is a lot of money left, but I can't get it out. A total of four buckets of mooncakes were carried, and they were soaked six times in a large plastic basin before they were all soaked.Afraid that the bathroom would be blocked, Xiangmei rolled up her sleeves to knead, stirring vigorously with a spatula until it became a thick paste, and then poured it away.Xiangmei said: "I was afraid that someone stuffed money in the moon cakes, but fortunately, I didn't find it." Zhu Huaijing was a little hungry, and smelling the rich aroma of mooncakes, he was a little greedy, so he grabbed the mooncakes and ate them.Xiangmei snatched it from him and said, "Don't eat it, you will complain of stomach pain later." Zhu Huaijing felt sick to his stomach after eating sweets, so he had to endure it.After squatting for a while, he complained of low back pain, stood up, looked at Xiangmei kneading moon cakes, and said: "There is a story in the northern folks. In the past, wheat was the size of a fist, and every family had enough food and clothing. Once, the Lord of Heaven came down to the mortal world. During the investigation, I saw a family making pancakes, and his child was eating pancakes while shitting. After the child finished defecation, the mother took a piece of pancakes and wiped the child's ass. God was very angry when he saw it. It's strange that the mortal world doesn't cherish the five grains. From then on, the wheat has never been as big as a fist." After hearing this, Xiangmei raised her head, looked at Zhu Huaijing blankly, and said, "If there is a real master, he sees us like this, and the grains of wheat will be as big as corn in the future." Seeing Xiangmei like this, Zhu Huaijing thought of her that day again. It's about throwing red envelopes at night.She was also so nervous that day, for fear of committing a crime. The couple stayed busy until late and didn't go to bed.Xiangmei remembered something and said, "Xiang Jie said that in the countryside not far to the south of Meici, there was a very magical three-year-old baby who responded to every request. It was a woman in her thirties who suddenly became possessed by a fairy one day. As soon as she started to act, speak, and look like a two- or three-year-old child, the common people call her a three-year-old baby. It is very effective, what disease or disaster do you have, she seems to have seen it, It's not bad at all. When it's over, she will give you a bowl of water, or just recite a few mantras, and everything will be fine. You don't need to spend anything, just burn a few sticks of incense, send a few liters of rice, and a few catties of oil. It’s okay to give money. This three-year-old doll never asks for a price, as long as you are sincere. I heard that there are many people who go to beg for three-year-old dolls every day, and they start queuing up before dawn.” Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Do you really believe this? Xiang Jie also said what happened to the nuns in Qingyun nunnery last time!" Xiangmei said: "I have something to say. His couple really made me feel uncomfortable, but Xiang Jie asked around for folk remedies and spells, all for Qiqi's benefit." Zhu Huaijing asked: "You mean, let's try?" Xiangmei said, "Just try." Zhu Huaijing said, "Then it's up to you." The next night, as soon as Zhu Huaijing entered the house, Xiangmei told about Qiqi, "Xiang Jie went to pay homage to the three-year-old doll. It's really amazing. The three-year-old doll said when she met, your aunt is not your own." Son, what do you want to worry about? Xiang Jie said that although he is someone else's child, he is just like his own child, and we are together every day. The three-year-old child said, I know, this child is not from an ordinary family, his father Mothers are all high-ranking officials. As the saying goes, one generation becomes an official, and the ninth generation becomes a cow. Food does not grow meat, and milk does not change blood. He is the current times. You want his parents to do more good deeds ...Xiang Jie didn't dare to teach me this, I forced it out." Zhu Huaijing became annoyed when he heard that, "Is there really such a god? I don't believe it! There is no proof, and it is not certain whether Xiang Jie made it up." Xiangmei said: "I also thought about it when I heard it. But I immediately thought about it again. Why didn't Xiang Jie Pepsi make up these words for us? If you want to make it up, they don't know how to make it up?" Zhu Huaijing asked: "What do you mean, do you insist on believing it? So is there anything she can do to get it back?" Xiangmei said: "Bring a bowl of water back, let Qiqi drink it. And... Didn't you say it just now?" Zhu Huaijing was very angry, "It's outrageous! We need to do more good deeds! Could it be that we usually do a lot of evil?" Xiangmei persuaded him not to be angry, "He is also kind. Besides, everyone should do more good deeds. Besides, you are sitting in this position, and you are expected to do more good deeds!"
