Chapter 103: Alone

    

, “So soon 'double deputy' is resolved! Holding two deputy positions in township leadership roles will be very beneficial for the next promotion to a regular department-level post.” 。So, he's the dep...After leaving the An County Public Security Bureau, Xiao Zheng did not immediately return to town, but came to a "Pine Hair Silk Soup Dumpling Shop" 。This soup dumpling shop is quite famous in Anxian. 。The wontons are small, and a big-mouthed man can stuff two or three into his mouth at once. 。The soup dumplings are served in individual bamboo steamer baskets, lined with a thick layer of pine wood shavings. 。This “Pine Needle” is actually dried pine needles that have been cleaned. After being steamed, the aroma of the pine needles permeates the soup dumplings, blending with the meat flavor inside the dough to create a unique fragrance. 。This "matsutake mushroom soup dumpling" is very popular with the people of Anxian County. During morning tea time, everyone has to queue up in a long line to get their hands on it. 。It's the afternoon now, and there are fewer people around. 。A pot of strong tea and a few soup dumplings are enough to make one content to spend an afternoon. 。When Xiao Zheng walked into the old dim sum shop, Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui, and Fei Nuanyi were already there. They had ordered a pot of tea and two baskets of soup dumplings, which only cost a dozen yuan in total. 。Zhao Yougen said, "Isn't this a little too cheap today" Jianxiu replied, "Last time at the resort, there was no way around it. We had to spend lavishly or else people would suspect something. But here in this soup dumpling shop, there's no need for that." 。< conserve, where possible > 。

After all, Jian Xiushui had been the boss's wife before, and thriftiness was ingrained in her character. 。Actually, Zhao Yougen really wanted to eat a few more of these soup dumplings today. He had been craving them. Since he usually works at the police station in town and doesn't get to come to the county often, it's not easy for him to enjoy these soup dumplings. 。Since Cai Jianxiu had said so, he wasn't willing to spend more of Xiao Zheng's money to satisfy his cravings. He would just eat a few less. 。In the corner, the shop was filled with the sounds of teacups clinking and lively chatter. After sitting down, Xiao Zheng thought to himself, "County folks sure have a messy way of eating, and they brag just as much." 。However, this was beneficial to Xiao Zheng and the others with no downsides. They needed these diners to cover up their sounds for them. 。Zhao Yougen asked, "Xiao Weiyi, how did it go Did Director Xu of the Public Security Bureau agree to help us" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "He's unwilling to help us." 。When Xiao Zheng walked out of the Public Security Bureau, his mood was actually very bad. 。But he had adjusted by now, so he was just being matter-of-fact and showed no emotional fluctuation. 。Zhao Yougen asked, "Aren't you willing to help us at all" Xiao Zheng said, "Yes" 。Perhaps this is how most officials are, they always think of themselves first. If there is a risk involved that might affect their position, they won't do it. 。"Zhao Yougen sighed and took a sip of tea: 'I thought Xu, the director, would be different, but now it seems he's no different from other officials.'" 。Fei Nuanyi picked up the tea pot and poured another round of tea for Xiao Zheng, Zhao Yougen, and Jian Xiushui, saying: "If they're unwilling to help, then we'll rely on ourselves. " 。"Indeed, Xiao Commissioner," said Jian Xiu Shui, "Warmly said it right, if no one wants to help us, we can only rely on ourselves." 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Jian Xiu Shui and Fei Nuanyi. The eyes of these two women were full of determination, a trust in Xiao Zheng that was invaluable. 。Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and placed the cup on the slightly uneven wooden table. "Alright, we won't rely on anyone else. We'll rely on ourselves!"

Zhao Yougen was still somewhat worried: "How can we rely on ourselves Without the help of the Public Security Bureau, we don't have the tools or resources for technical investigation..." 。“Without technological support, we’ll use the most traditional methods.” 。Xiao Zheng bowed slightly and gave Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui, and Fei Nuanli instructions. 。These ideas were all thought up by Xiao Zheng on his way here. 。After Xiao Zheng spoke to them for a while, Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui, and Fei Nuanyi all nodded. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Fortresses are easiest to breach from within. We have no other choice but to use this method." 。"Zhao Yougen said, 'To different people, use different methods. Mr. Xiao, in the absence of any way out or help from anyone, we can only do this.'" 。。“Best this mouthful of matsutake silk wonton, Zhao Yougen, with a satisfied smile on his face: "It seems like I can have a good meal today." 。Xiao Zheng said: “Just eat, if it’s not enough, we can order more.” 。"Zhao Yougen, Jian Xiushui, and Fei Nuanyi all looked at each other and smiled. Fei Nuanyi said, “Then let's get started.” 。To my surprise, both Jian Xiushui and Fei Nuanyi ate with gusto. The two women each had a matsutake soup dumpling in their mouths, their left cheeks puffed out slightly. Their appearance was both straightforward and endearing. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly thought of Chen Hong. When he was with Chen Hong, he had never felt as relaxed and carefree as he did with these people in front of him. 。It was nine o'clock in the evening. 。Song Guoming was socializing outside again, Gao Xuemei was alone at home. 。Although Gao Xuemei is already in her forties, she often has dinner with her parents since Song Guoming is frequently out. She then goes home and watches TV before falling asleep. 。Gao Xuemei's parents live in the apartment complex across the street, it's very convenient. 。Today, Gao Xuemei's younger brother, Gao Xuefeng, is also at her parents' place. 。

While eating, her younger brother asked, "Older sister, your husband doesn't come home all day, are you not worried at all" Gao Xuemei nonchalantly said, "What is there to worry about Isn't your brother-in-law always like this He says it's work related..."

"Gao Xuefeng shook his head and said, "Sister, you have to be careful." 。For a man, it's just an excuse. 。Let's talk about my upstairs neighbor before he moved out. He used to be the head of the village party committee, and then was transferred to the city to become a deputy director. He was always saying he was busy with work and never home. Later on, it turned out that he had someone else outside the marriage. * 。Gao Xuemei still spoke for her husband: "The situation in towns and towns is also different." 。Your sister-in-law's hometown is especially busy. 。“Gao Xuemei’s parents also helped her husband speak up: “That’s right, Xuefeng, your brother-in-law has always been like this, there’s nothing to worry about.” 。“I didn't worry about it before, but things are different now.” 。“What’s different now” Gao Xuemei shot her younger brother a strange glance. Gao Xuefeng said, “Before, I wasn’t worried at all because you were young and beautiful. Even if people called you the most beautiful girl in our county, no one would say anything.” 。Things are different now, you've gotten older, and your looks aren't what they used to be. 。"With his position, he gets to see young and beautiful women all the time. He's even better than the original, you should have heard this saying, sister."

Gao Xuemei glared at her younger brother, displeasure evident in her voice: "Your brother-in-law isn't like that." 。However, Gao Xuefeng insisted, "Elder sister, don't overthink men. They aren't as self-aware as you think they are." 。Men, when they walk by the river often get their shoes wet. I'm a man, don't I know that So men still need to be controlled, sis, you can't take it lightly. 。Otherwise, one day *someone else rises to power*, your position as the rightful empress will be gone, and it will be too late to regret it. 。"Hey, you child, how do you speak like that!" Gao Xuemei's father rebuked his son. "You are not allowed to say that about your brother-in-law!" Gao Xuefeng defended himself, "I didn't mean to talk badly about my brother-in-law, I was talking about human nature..." 。This world, it truly is like bitter medicine that heals a disease. But people just don't like the bitterness! You all are unwilling to hear the truth, so I'll pretend I didn't say anything. 。The dinner that evening became very unpleasant for Gao Xuemei because of her younger brother's words, and she even had some indigestion. 。She thought that her brother was angry with her husband because he had asked Song Guoming for a favor a while ago, but Song Guoming hadn't helped. So, he deliberately said those things to upset her. 。Prosperity Construction" project; only then could he be considered to have done something for the townspeople, and only then could he accumulate political achievements to lay the foundation for his ne...
