Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 496 Contradictory and polar opposites

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 took special leave and has been busy for a long time.

When Du Fei gets off work, all that's left is to finish.

Waiting for the quilts to be dried and the things brought back from the Lou family to be packed into the house.

Lou Xiao'e came back from the Central Court early and went to the old lady's house to sit for a while.

As for Xu Daimao, he had already prepared for Du Fei to have a drink.

In addition to lunch meat and sausages, the family also prepares a roast chicken and two fried vegetables, which are enough to go with wine.

After the vegetables were cooked, Lou Xiao'e also came back from the old lady's house, holding a pair of very beautiful tiger-head shoes in her hand.

As soon as he entered the room, he showed off: "Look, the old lady made this for the puppy! Doesn't it look good~"

"Good-looking, good-looking." Xu Daimao chuckled. Now as long as it involves children, he has nothing wrong with him.

Du Fei also stretched his neck and took a look.

Don't tell me, the old lady's needlework is really good!

If it weren't for the fact that I'm older now and my eyesight isn't working so well, it would have been better when I was young.

After putting away the little tiger-head shoes, Lou Xiao'e sat down carefully.

Xu Daimao was waiting on the side and handed over a bowl of white rice.

Then he winked with Du Fei and said hey: "Brother, let's have some meat and potatoes today." He then took a bottle of foreign brand wine from the side: "I got the white wine from my father-in-law... Ezi, what are you doing for free?"

"Brandy~" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said to Du Fei: "Xiao Du, this is Martell Cognac. My dad has been putting it away for many years and he is not willing to drink it."

Although Dufy didn't pay any special attention to brandy, Martell Cognac knew about it.

It is estimated that Lou Hongyi is going to have physical pain.

Xu Daimao hurriedly followed suit: "Yes, it's brandy."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the bottle cap, and the cork attached to the bottom of the bottle cap was pulled out with a "pop" sound.

Then Du Fei saw this guy pouring valuable Martell wine into two small enamel tea jars.

He handed a cup to Du Fei, picked up a cup himself, raised it and said, "Brother, come on, one of us brothers can go!"

As he spoke, he raised his neck and started to do it first as a sign of respect.

After Du Fei clinked the glasses, he looked at them and smelled the so-called aroma of the 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 various types of Chinese liquors, foreign wines are inferior in terms of aroma.

Then Du Fei also finished it in one gulp.

The enamel jar was not big, and Xu Daimao didn't pour much, only about one or two.

After taking a sip, there is indeed some grape aroma, as well as a smell of oak barrels and smoke, and finally a light bitter taste.

Overall, it's not bad to drink, but it's not that great either.

At least Du Fei felt that it was far inferior to Fenjiu and Xifeng. Even the Lingchuan he drank at Chen Zhongyuan's house earlier was better than this.

Moreover, Du Fei also drank some brands of cognac before traveling through time.

It is said that as Lou Hongyi is a follower, his bottle of Martell must be of good quality.

But when it comes to the mouths of Du Fei and Xu Daimao, they are eating peonies.

Not only did Du Fei not drink well, but Xu Daimao also looked sad and stuck out his tongue: "Oh~ what the hell is this! It's not as good as Erguotou~"

Du Fei chuckled and said, "Then I'll buy you a bottle of Erguotou. Do you want to change it?"

Xu Daimao curled his lips: "Jing Xunsi is a good thing, who will change it with you? No matter whether it tastes good or not, this guy is expensive!"

The two chatted and drank.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e got off the table after finishing her meal and went up to the inner room to rest.

Du Fei and Xu Daimao were left, talking about the current situation, and Xu Daimao expressed concern.

And asked Du Fei how far it would go.

Although Du Fei's halo in Xu Daimao's heart faded somewhat after leaving the courtyard during this period, the omnipotent golden body he established earlier is still there.

And Du Fei estimated that Xu Daimao would be able to bring out the fine wine his father-in-law had collected during this meal, and the Lou family would also like to hear his side of the story.

Du Fei was not busy talking, he put down his cup and took out his cigarette.

He didn't have the nerve to smoke since Lou Xiao'e was here just now, and he had just eaten and drank, so he didn't have time to smoke.

Now that I have had three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, I have some free time.

He handed one to Xu Daimao, then lit it and took a deep breath, but instead of answering, he asked: "Brother Mao, is this what Director Lou wants to ask?"

Xu Daimao didn't hide it and nodded immediately.

Du Fei said: "Then I don't understand. It's now this time. Could it be that Director Lou still can't understand? Why are you still holding on to any luck?"

Xu Daimao's expression changed slightly.

Du Fei's words already indicated that the situation might be worse than they expected.

Xu Daimao couldn't help but vomit: "Is it really that serious?"

Du Fei said "Yeah": "You don't know what's going on outside, but you still don't know what's going on in the factory?"

Xu Daimao fell silent.

Du Fei was a little curious: "By the way, what did Director Lou think? Didn't you think of going out to avoid it?"

Xu Daimao sighed: "Hey~ you don't know, my father-in-law offended many people before liberation. And in Hong Kong, they are also trying to suck out the marrow. Even if all the Lou family's wealth is given away, it's hard to say whether they can keep the whole family safe. .”

Du Fei suddenly realized this.

It turns out that it wasn't that Lou Hongyi couldn't see that the situation was critical, but that he was in a dilemma inside and outside.

Although Xu Daimao did not say who it was, the person the Lou family offended must be extremely difficult to offend...

Early the next morning.

Du Fei once again woke up from the dream with his chest broken.

Looking at Xiaowu lying on his body depressedly, he began to think about finding a rope to tie this guy up when he went to bed at night.

Last night, at Xu Daimao's house, we drank until nine o'clock.

One bottle of Martell consumed half of the bottle.

It was rare for Xu Daimao not to be too drunk.

He has indeed grown a lot in the past few months.

Putting it aside, in this situation, Xu Daimao had to drink and lie down.

Now I know when enough is enough, and I have begun to have the ability to control myself.

However, what Xu Daimao revealed yesterday.

The current situation of the Lou family is not very good.

It's hard to leave, but it's hard to stay.

If there is no way to deal with it, or if they 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 composition of the Lou family is not good, Lou Xiao'e married Xu Daimao, a member of the Xu family, and she was still a pregnant woman.

As long as he made it clear that he had drawn a clear line with his family, it would not be difficult to keep Lou Xiao'e with Xu Daimao's current relationship with Li Mingfei.

But protecting Lou's father and Lou's mother was far beyond his ability.

Like Lou Hongyi, a famous big capitalist before liberation, not to mention Xu Daimao, even Li Mingfei didn't dare to say that he could keep it, so he had to say something from the top.

Du Fei packed up and came to the unit.

After holding it in for three days, Aunt Zheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as she came in the morning, she started talking to a few old ladies in the office.

Du Fei entered the room and listened.

It seems to be saying that something happened again yesterday at Yanda.

It is said that the leader seems to be a student named Kang...

When Du Fei heard this, he immediately thought of Kang Dazhong in Chen Fangshi's mouth.

But Aunt Zheng only heard this, no matter how much more she didn't know.

And Section Chief Qian arrived soon, and the ladies quickly returned to their seats.

Section Chief Qian didn't say anything and went into the small office by himself.

After tidying up a few times inside, he called outside: "Xiao Du, come here."

Du Fei responded, quickly stood up and went over, calling "Uncle".

If it was a particularly formal matter, Section Chief Qian would call Du Fei directly instead of Xiao Du.

But now there's no one else in the room, so it's probably a private matter.

Section Chief Qian said: "I remember to hear you say that the third uncle in your hospital is named Yan and he is a teacher at Hongxing Primary School, right?"

Du Fei was stunned for a moment and replied: "Ah~ yes, he recently became the logistics director of their school."

Section Chief Qian narrowed his eyes: "That's right, it's him."

Du Fei said: "He recruited you?"

Section Chief Qian snorted: "I found a person from the housing management office, and he just wanted to take over the house on our street. He is very calculating."

Du Fei immediately knew what was going on.

The third uncle also mentioned this matter to him last time, but it was related to Section Chief Qian and was rejected by Du Fei.

Unexpectedly, the third uncle didn't give up and actually approached someone from the housing management office.

Du Fei said: "Uncle, do you want to..."

Section Chief Qian waved his hand and interrupted: "You are not needed. This is a grudge between me and Principal Zhang. You don't need to get involved. This guy named Yan is the one. Do you know who he is?"

Du Fei frowned and said: "What does he have? He is just an ordinary teacher with average family conditions. He is famous for being stingy in our college. Just recently, for some reason, he actually got the idea. He probably became the logistics director through his relationship with the principal. .”

Section Chief Qian nodded and rolled his eyes a few times: "Okay, I understand, you can leave this matter alone."

Du Fei said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.

Since Section Chief Qian said this, he must have his own reasons.

Wait until noon.

Du Fei finished his meal in the canteen and went to the trust store while he still had time.

Last time, Xiao Zhang from the police station mentioned to him that the salesperson of the trust store had harmed the man who sold the royal family badges.

Du Fei made a plan and went over there to ask Wei Sanye and Yang Weiguo.

She originally wanted to go on Sunday, but Zhu Ting also 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, go to the grain 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 felt sultry and muggy. It must have been holding back the rain.

Du Fei rode his bicycle north along Andingmen Street, and soon arrived at the trust store of the Fire Temple.

He had already come here and was familiar with the road. He had stored his bicycle at the door and was about to walk inside when someone called out from behind: "Brother Du, is that you?"

Du Fei turned around and saw Yang Weiguo running down the street. When he came up to him, he smiled and said, "Brother Du, it's really you! I looked just like you from the other side."

Du Fei said: "Are you going out to eat?"

Yang Weiguo scratched his head and said, "I fooled you for a while, let's talk about it inside."

As he said this, he was about to take Du Fei into the store.

But Du Fei grabbed him and said, "Don't rush in just yet. Let's go up and ask you something."

Yang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then followed Du Fei to a deserted corner next to the trust store: "Brother Du, just ask me if you have anything to do."

Du Fei said: "Something happened in your unit a few days ago?"

Yang Weiguo was also smart and reacted immediately: "What are you 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 was originally responsible for selling used 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 said immediately: "By the way, I remember you were here that time too. The store set a price of thirty for a brand that the man sold, but he insisted on selling it for one hundred and made a big fuss. It caused such a big fuss that the police station was finally alerted.”

Du Fei nodded and asked again: "How much do you know about this matter? Tell me."

"This..." Yang Weiguo hesitated slightly, looked left and right, and whispered: "Brother Du, this is not the place to talk. Follow me upstairs."

Du Fei's heart moved. Looking at Yang Weiguo like this, he must know something.

After a while, Du Fei followed Yang Weiguo into the trust store and went up to the second floor to find an empty office.

Yang Weiguo closed the door with his backhand and whispered: "Brother Du, why are you asking about this?"

Of course Du Fei didn't need to explain to him, he said solemnly: "What? What's the problem?"

Yang Weiguo said: "It's not that there's anything wrong with it, that's right...Zhang Jian was from our store after all, and the victim was selling things in the store. If this matter really gets spread, I don't know how to arrange it! So! , our director issued an order early in the morning that this matter cannot be spread outside. If anyone does, it will be counted as spreading rumors and inciting, and 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 Zhang Jian is not a salesperson, he is just a customer visiting the store and encounters the same situation.

If you focus on the sign of Prince Qing's Mansion, you will still be drugged and stolen.

But he happened to be from the store, which inevitably aroused a lot of speculation, and it was easy for people to think that there was something shady about the trust store.

But understanding is understanding, but you should still ask what you should ask.

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 not easy to fire workers.

Yang Weiguo said hurriedly: "Brother Du, that's not what I meant. I just told you that you must not spread the word."

"In your own words~" Du Fei said angrily: "Hurry up, stop talking nonsense."

When Yang Weiguo heard Du Fei scolding him, he chuckled and hurriedly said, "Actually, that's what happened..."

Du Fei listened carefully, but couldn't help but frown.

Because Yang Weiguo's words were very different from what he heard from Xiao Zhang at the police station.

There are even some places where they are completely contradictory and diametrically opposed!
