January 20, 2023, big cold.
The next day is New Year's Eve.
Even though the flavor of the new year is not as strong now, the streets and alleys are still filled with the atmosphere of joy.
Jinghai.
Meng family.
Ever since her daughter left, Aunt Cui has no smile on her face.
Not even a few words.
This day.
Meng Dehai came back from the vegetable market happily, carrying chicken, duck, fish and wine in his hands, but he couldn't even open the door.
"Honey, look, we finally have all the New Year's goods."
Facing Meng Dehai's smiling face, Aunt Cui reacted with unusual indifference.
Even other than opening the door.
She didn't even make a move to help.
This scene.
It also made Meng Dehai's expression gradually solidify.
After he put the things in the kitchen, he pondered his emotions for a while, then came to the living room and sat next to Aunt Cui: "Old Cui, I know you are worried, but it is normal for children to have their own ideas when they are older, not to mention, little ones Yu went to Hong Kong, and he also found a private school there for Doudou. I heard that he would teach the languages of three countries, which would be of great benefit to Doudou in the future. "
"What happened to private schools?"
"If you follow your words, those people who have never gone to private schools will not be able to survive in this life?"
"I……"
Faced with Aunt Cui's questioning.
Meng Dehai opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
Subsequently.
Aunt Cui said again:
"When I was in a coma, did your uncle come to the hospital to find you?"
"Before I left, I asked you to put away the things you should put away temporarily. It's not peaceful recently, so don't take risks. Is this the case?"
"Lao Meng, I won't tell you, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything."
"Now that my daughter is back and she has made good friends, that is a good thing, but you have to force her away again. Tell me, how did your heart grow?"
"I-I don't even know what you're talking about."
These words.
Meng Dehai was immediately speechless...
"Don't know what I'm talking about?"
"hehe."
"Then let me ask you, Yang Jian did a good job in the anti-narcotics team, why did you transfer him to the Electricity Bureau?"
Aunt Cui's aggressiveness completely made Meng Dehai lose his temper. He turned sideways and replied: "Anti-narcotics police have such a dangerous job, what if something goes wrong during any operation, what will Xiao Yu do in the future? "
"Do you want to watch your daughter become a widow?"
"But now Xiaoyu, isn't it no different from being a widow?" Aunt Cui looked at Meng Dehai with an expression that had already seen through you.
"you!"
Meng Dehai was so angry that his breathing became rapid: "Jian Shu is unreasonable."
"Then according to what you said, did Yang Jian break the law or was he instigated by me?"
Seeing that the facts were in front of her, Meng Dehai still wanted to quibble, and Aunt Cui was immediately disappointed: "Okay, Lao Meng, we have been together for most of our lives, and we don't know who the other is."
"New Year's Eve is tomorrow. I will spend the last New Year with you. After the New Year is over, I will leave."
"Where are you going?" Meng Dehai was stunned.
Aunt Cui smiled lightly and said: "Where else can I go? Of course I'm going to Hong Kong. You don't love your daughter or your granddaughter, but I have to. After all, they are my only relatives in this world!"
"you……"
"I'll tell you later!"
at this time.
Meng Dehai's cell phone suddenly came to mind.
He glanced at the number.
Frowning, he went to the study.
Close the door.
After making sure that there was no sound outside, he picked up the phone and said, "Didn't I tell you not to call me when you're okay?"
"Uncle Meng, it's the New Year's holiday. I've prepared some New Year's goods and sent them to Jinghai for you." A cheerful man's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Meng Dehai was slightly surprised and asked: "Are you coming to Jinghai again?"
"Yes, just arrived." The person on the other end of the phone answered simply.
Meng Dehai alertly asked two words: "Where."
"Bai Jinhan."
After getting a response.
Meng Dehai pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."
Finished.
He did not forget to remind: "Also remember, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay there and wait for me!"
"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere unless you come."
"It better be this way!"
"Then I'll make a pot of tea first, and I'll be waiting for you here."
hang up the phone.
Meng Dehai did not leave immediately, but after hesitating for more than ten minutes, he took out a mobile phone card from the drawer and dialed it out.
The call was quickly answered.
"The people from Xishan are coming."
"where?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was technically processed so that it was temporarily impossible to distinguish between male and female.
"Bai Jinhan, he said he brought me some New Year's goods, and I was about to go there."
"Do you need me to send someone with you?"
"No, no one in Jinghai has the guts to touch me. I'm calling you just to let you know in Hong Kong that I suspect the situation in Xishan has changed."
Meng Dehai's words.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then the voice came again: "I know, you should be careful yourself."
