Return to Splendid

Chapter 194 The house was tampered with

After walking around in a circle, Xing Yi said: "Let's go to the farm to have a casual meal."

Chen Hongyu said: "If you don't want to eat here, go back to the county town and I'll treat you."

Xing Yi said: "It's better not to eat. As the old saying goes, you have to eat three meals a day to get a meal back. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back by then."

Chen Hongyu sighed and said, "I just can't speak to you."

Before getting on the bus, Xing Yi found a beer bottle, filled it with water from Lingxiutan, and handed it to Chen Hongyu.

Standing at the door of the car, Chen Hongyu asked again: "Is there anything else going on in the village?"

Xing Yi said: "This one is not finished yet."

Chen Hongyu said: "Let's talk about the second one too."

Xing Yi said: "Okay, the owner of the old house has a daughter living in the city. Her daughter is very filial and wants to move him into the city to live with her."

"I understand what you mean. He left the old house to you and asked me to help you decorate it?"

"Renovation is necessary, but that must be considered when building the factory."

"Then let's talk about it then, okay?"

"Don't be nervous. Everything I want you to help me with doesn't cost you a penny."

"If you don't want me to spend money, what else do you want from me?"

"I don't want you to spend any money, but I want you to show up."

"I don't understand."

"Her daughter's house in the city is small, but there is an open space next to it. She will build a room on the open space, with a first floor and a bottom. I will pay for it and you will contribute."

"For no reason, I went to repair someone's house?"

"How could it be for no reason? You participated in the construction of a pure water plant, and the old house in the village was left to you as an office. Her father has moved to the city. The house is too narrow and you can't stand it. Please help her and make the house wider. Isn’t that the reason?”

"Xing Yi, are you trying to force me to join the gang?"

Xing Yi pushed Chen Hongyu into the car: "Whether it is forced or voluntary, we are doing things for the village. Once it is done, other issues will not be raised."

When I returned to my residence, I lay down on the bed, stretched out my feet to hook the quilt, but it was not hooked. I turned my head and saw that the quilt was not on the bed. Where was it?

When I got up to look for it, I found that the quilt had been placed randomly on the chair. Looking at other objects, the traces of movement were very obvious.

Someone came in and rummaged through it.

I carry my wallet with me, and there is nothing else to take in the house except bedding, washing tools, picture frames, and a few books. Director Sang said that he would always take a look when he goes out and enters the door.

After careful inspection, I found that the book "Roads, Bridges and River Crossing Projects" was missing.

However, there was something on the ground. When I picked it up, I saw it was a jade rat-shaped pendant. Yao Dongdong, who played well with Ni Jiyong, also had one like this.

Xing Yi came to the director's house and wanted to ask, but Director Sang was not at home. His wife was doing housework.

Xing Yi thought that the door was facing the door. If there was any movement here, she might be able to see it.

Xing Yi stood at the door talking and asked if anyone had come to see him in the past two days.

Director Sang's lover said: "Yes, two young men came the day before yesterday, saying they were your relatives and wanted to see you for something. I pointed them at the door and said you lived there and I didn't know if you were there. At that time I The water on the stove boiled, so I turned around to find a kettle to add boiling water. What's the matter, they didn't see you? "

"I haven't seen them. What do these two guys look like?"

The director's wife gave him a description. One was yellow and thin, and the other was fair and fat. No need to doubt, who else could it be if it weren't Ni Jiyong and Yao Dongdong?

Why did the two of them come so far away, and instead of waiting to meet each other, they came into the house and rummaged around while I was away. What were they looking for?There weren't many things in the room, and you could tell at a glance that nothing was missing except the book.

What do they do with books?They can't understand it either. If they tear out a few pages at random, that would be terrible. They have to seize the time to retrieve it.

Xing Yi rushed back to the county town in the afternoon. He first came to see his parents-in-law and asked, "Has Ni Jiyong gone anywhere?"

My father-in-law said: "Yao Dongdong called me at noon and left."

"Will you come home for dinner?"

"Who knows."

The mother-in-law looked at him blankly: "What's wrong with Jiyong?"

My father-in-law said, "You just like to be surprised like this."

Xing Yi said: "It's nothing, I just have something to discuss."

"This kid is sensible and knows that he wants to discuss things with you. I analyzed it and came home with a book. It seemed to be about engineering technology. I thought, if you are interested in cars, you might as well read it. A driving school, what do you think?"

Xing Yi said: "Of course."

"Then when you discuss things with him, mention this content as well."

"Okay."The father-in-law went on to say: "You do his job, and if you decide to go to a driving school, I will prepare the tuition for him."

The mother-in-law said: "Your own son, instead of saying it himself, always wants to let Xing Yi come forward."

The father-in-law said: "I said it's not the same as he said. They want to discuss things, wouldn't they do it while it's hot?"

The mother-in-law said: "When we are together, we never speak more than three sentences."

Xing Yi said: "It's okay for young people to talk well together."

Saying that Ni Jiyong is back.

Father said: "Brother Xing Yi has been waiting for a long time."

Ni Jiyong looked sideways at Xing Yi: "Wait for me? What's wrong?"

Xing Yi said: "I promised you to buy you a beer, and I will honor it today."

Ni Jiyong's eyes widened: "Did I mention it to you?"

Xing Yi stood up and said, "I have this arrangement whether you mention it or not." He pulled him and said, "Let's go and call Yao Dongdong."

Yao Dongdong was waiting outside, and the two of them were preparing to go to Wenchang Pavilion, where there were many night market stalls.

Xing Yi looked at Yao Dongdong's neck. The pendant was gone, but it was in my pocket. Xing Yi held back his laughter and said, "Just go where you want to go, I'll pay for it."

Yao Dongdong pulled Ni Jiyong to stop, bit his ear and said, "What does your brother-in-law mean today?"

Ni Jiyong said loudly: "If you have wine, drink it, no matter what he means."

The three of them arrived. Xing Yi ordered two bottles of beer, 24 bottles, and divided eight bottles between each person. He said, "I won't go home until I finish drinking."

Ni Jiyong snorted: "Does my sister know?"

Xing Yi chuckled and said, "She thought I was in the countryside."

"Where can I sleep when I drink too much?"

"As you know, I have a private room at Guangming Hotel."

"Then let's wait for Ha to go there."

"What? Don't worry about me?"

"Yeah, if I don't keep an eye on her, how will I answer when my sister asks her tomorrow?"

"Ah, okay, okay, you can supervise me for your sister. I have no objection. It's okay, that's it."

After drinking a third of the wine, Xing Yi took out the pendant and held it up for Yao Dongdong to see.

Yao Dongdong spat out the bone residue and looked at the pendant with wide eyes: "How come my things are in your hands?"

Xing Yi: "You are too careless, aren't you? You must have been in a hurry when you went to my place that day, and it fell on the ground where I live."

Ni Jiyong stared at Xing Yi: "Huh? That means you know that we have been to your place?"

Xing Yi shook his head and put the pendant into Yao Dongdong's hand: "As I said, I didn't wait any longer when I went. I just got a fish that day. You left. I couldn't finish it by myself, so I threw away most of it."

Ni Jiyong put down his chopsticks heavily, his eyes red: "In other words, you invited us to drink beer today just to find out about this matter?"
