Chapter 459: The Best Among the Old-Timers

After finishing his business and lunch, Du Fei left the courtyard and asked Wang Dacheng to take him back.

Du Fei did not stay in the street office for long. He immediately said hello to Section Chief Qian, rode out on his bike and headed straight to Old Yang's house.

Although Zhu Ting was a little curious, Wang Dacheng came to Du Fei for what at noon, and Du Fei rushed out as soon as he came back.

But Du Fei did not take the initiative to say it, so she did not ask more.

This is also the experience she learned from her mother. Men's affairs should be managed, and those that should not be managed should be learned to be deaf and dumb.

Otherwise, if you tighten the man too much, not only will you be tired, but the man will also feel annoyed.

Du Fei rode his bike and rushed to Old Yang's house while thinking about what Chen Zhongyuan had just said.

Although Chen Zhongyuan's words were convincing, in fact, they had no evidence to prove that Wang Wenming had contact with Liu Weiguo's current lover Zhang Fang.

The reason for saying this is just based on their experience and reasonable presumption.

They came to such a conclusion that can only be said in private but cannot be brought to the table.

As for whether he can find Wang Wenming again, it all depends on Du Fei.

It is indeed difficult for other people to do this.

The enemy is in the dark now. If Chen Zhongyuan acts rashly, it is most likely to alert the enemy.

If Wang Wenming is really scared and leaves the capital, it will be even more troublesome.

Du Fei does not have to worry. When the time comes, he will directly let Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu go to keep an eye on him. No matter whether it is Zhang Fang or Wang Wenming, as long as they show up to make contact, no one can escape.

However, Du Fei thought that this matter should not be too easy.

He did not want to die of exhaustion because of the saying "the more capable, the more work".

It is okay to occasionally participate in this kind of thing and help.

If he performs too well and people overestimate his ability in this area, he will be busy in the future.

Moreover, it is easy to expose the existence of Xiao Wu and others over time.

Therefore, although Du Fei said a lot and immediately gathered people when he came back, he did not intend to make a quick decision.

Moreover, before he left, Chen Zhongyuan also told him not to have too much pressure.

Letting him come here for this matter is actually a bit of a last-ditch effort.

Both Chen Zhongyuan and Section Chief Qin knew it in their hearts.

What kind of enemy is Wang Wenming?

In recent years, not only they, but also the higher authorities have been keeping an eye on this person, but he has never been caught.

Why can we expect Du Fei to be effective immediately?

Therefore, in terms of time, Du Fei is not under pressure.

When he came to Lao Yang, Du Fei did not mention Wang Wenming.

On the surface, he asked Lao Yang to keep an eye on Zhang Fang.

And he especially reminded him not to alert the enemy.

Lao Yang is also familiar with this kind of work, which is similar to keeping an eye on Liu Dagang and the Japanese woman before.

Secretly, Du Fei asked Xiao Hei to go over and keep an eye on Zhang Fang.

Especially since she went to Tianning Temple as a lay Buddhist, she had to be extra careful.

After arranging these, Du Fei returned to the unit from Lao Yang's end. It was already past three in the afternoon.

When Du Fei got off work in the evening, his original life rhythm was not disrupted because he met Chen Zhongyuan and others at noon.

He still went home with Zhu Ting as planned.

Last time, Zhu's mother told him to go there often, and it was not just talk.

Now Zhu's mother has entered the state of "mother-in-law visiting son-in-law". In the morning, she told Zhu Ting to take Du Fei home today and said that she would make something delicious for Du Fei.

With such a good thing, how could Du Fei refuse.

Riding a bike with Zhu Ting, talking and laughing

.

Because it is spring, the days are getting longer and longer, and it is still bright when I get off work.

The two of them are not in a hurry to leave, and they walk slowly. It is almost six o'clock when they get home.

Zhu's mother got off work early and prepared meals with the service staff.

Knowing that Du Fei will come today, she specially stewed potatoes and beef.

After rushing to finish, Du Fei and Zhu Ting did not come back, and Zhu's mother was waiting anxiously.

Until the two came back, she rolled her eyes at Zhu Ting and complained unhappily.

But when she turned around and saw Du Fei, she smiled again, saying that Xiao Du was tall and Xiao Du was short.

Zhu Ting looked at him and wondered who was the real daughter.

But she still didn't see Zhu's father at dinner.

Zhu Ting didn't care, as they had gotten used to it over the years.

At this position, she was busy with work and had no time at all.

Only Du Fei asked a question.

Zhu's mother said, "Well, don't worry about him. If he didn't call back in advance, he wouldn't come back to eat. This month, he can't eat a few meals at home."

Du Fei smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Zhu's mother listened, and said modestly, "What ability and responsibility?" But she was overjoyed in her heart. She picked up a large piece of beef and stuffed it into Du Fei's bowl, "Xiao Du, eat more. Don't be polite here."

Zhu Ting on the side rolled her eyes.

She didn't realize that Du Fei was so good at flattering.

The words were all plain, without any fancy words, but they just touched her mother's heart.

After finishing the meal, the three of them returned to the living room to talk, and turned on the TV to watch the news.

The current TV programs are really limited, and the TV in Zhu Ting's house is more for display than for practical use, but she must watch the news every day.

Zhu's mother picked up the half-knitted sweater on the sofa.

Zhu Ting went to wash the apples.

Du Fei was left alone with Zhu's mother.

Du Fei was not at all embarrassed, and he was quite a social nerd.

With a shy face, she sat down next to Zhu's mother, "Auntie, what kind of pattern are you knitting? It's so beautiful~"

Zhu's mother was also an expert at knitting sweaters in their unit. When Du Fei asked about this, she suddenly became fascinated again and said with a smile, "You said this~ This is called bougainvillea. It can be changed into forward and backward stitches, and it can produce Different patterns…”

Then he unfolded the finished half of the knitting and showed it to Du Fei.

Du Fei stretched out his hand to touch it and praised, "Your hands are so skillful!"

Mother Zhu was afraid that her teeth would be exposed, so she covered her mouth and said with a smile, "No way, no way~ I just have nothing to do and just think about it."

Du Fei said, "That's even more impressive. I think the sweater on Xiaoting's body was also knitted by you~ It's really good!"

Zhu's mother smiled more and more, but she suddenly remembered Du Fei's life experience.

The mother died early, and the father and son depended on each other.

The old man still has to go to work, so what can he do?

And now that his father is gone, he is really a miserable child.

In an instant, Ma Zhu’s mother’s surname came to mind. She put down the knitting needles in her hands, got up and took out her sewing box from the cupboard next to the TV.

He took out a soft ruler from inside and said to Du Fei, "Xiao Du, stand up. Auntie will measure it for you. I will knit a set for you later and wear it in autumn this year."

"Oh~ the relationship is better now!"

Du Fei was not polite and immediately stood up and stretched out his arms.

Zhu Ma was only 1.6 meters tall, which was not considered short in this era. But when she came to Du Fei with a soft ruler, she had to raise her head, take the measurements and write them down in a book, and said, "Thank you for this." "Boss, her father and I are not very tall. I didn't expect Xiaoting to follow her uncle and grow so tall."

Du Fei continued, "Are uncles all big men?"

Zhu’s mother smiled and said, “That’s right~ There are three brothers and two sisters in our family, and Xiaoting’s three uncles are all 1.8 meters tall.”

Du Fei said casually, "That's no wonder, my niece is following her uncle..."

Just at this moment, Zhu Ting came out with the washed apples and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you measuring him?"

Zhu's mother had just finished measuring the length of her trousers, and asked Du Fei to lift up his clothes to measure his waist. She replied, "I'll knit a sweater for little Du Fei so he can wear it in the fall."

Zhu Ting felt a little guilty, pouted and said, "Mom~"

In fact, she was also planning to knit something for Du Fei, but her skill level was limited, so she wanted to get a scarf and gloves first, and then put on a sweater after practicing her skills.

Who knew, her mother would come right up and stir things up. .??.

I have seen Ma Zhu’s knitting, so I can still use it!

After Zhu Ma finished measuring, she stood up and could guess a thing or two when she saw Zhu Ting's appearance.

But he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he gloated and said, "Are you anxious now? I taught you this a long time ago. If you don't take it seriously, who can blame you?"

Zhu Ting snorted and angrily stuffed an apple into Du Fei's mouth.

Guoguang apples have a slightly thick skin, but are juicy, sweet and sour, and full of apple flavor.

Du Fei opened his big mouth, bit off a crescent moon in one bite, chewed it a few times, swallowed it and said, "Hey, Sister Ting, this apple is more delicious than what is distributed in our street."

Zhu Ting rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can it be the same? This is a special fruit from the Nanshan orchard in Jinzhou. Use two kinds of mesh sieves to sift it. Don't use the one that is too big because it will turn into chaff. If it is too small, it will turn out to be astringent. In the past few years, we all ate it in China. No, it’s all given to Beibian for loans.”

Du Fei took another big bite.

Zhu's mother smiled and said, "How many more do we have? You can fill half of Xiao Du's clothes later."

This apple is so delicious!

Du Fei was not polite and thanked his aunt.

Zhu Ting, on the other hand, was too embarrassed to drag Du Fei into her boudoir because her mother was present. She couldn't say some disgusting words even if her mother was in the way.

For a while, except for Du Fei, the two women were a little awkward.

Fortunately, Du Fei realized that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately asked to see Zhu Ting's childhood photo album, which resolved the awkwardness.

But soon, Zhu Ting became even more embarrassed.

He took out an old photo album and turned to the first photo of her wearing crotchless pants.

Behind him was a three- or four-year-old man, with his bare buttocks like a clay monkey, standing in front of the cave dwelling with several other children.

Du Fei also noticed that in the background of this photo, there was a familiar figure sitting in a wicker chair with his legs crossed and reading a newspaper.

Du Fei licked his lips, secretly surprised.

And then, familiar figures appeared in the photos.

Some are group photos, and some are backgrounds of inadvertently leaving the country.

Although Du Fei had known about Zhu Ting's family background before, it was only a relatively abstract concept.

It wasn't until this moment that he felt it intuitively.

I also saw Zhu Ting's three brothers one after another in the photo album.

They are all well-groomed.

What surprised Du Fei even more was that the photo album also contained Zhu Min and Li Mingfei when they were young.

Needless to say, Li Mingfei looked really energetic more than ten years ago, even compared to Du Fei.

Between brothers.

But I can't stand the aging process of time, and now my hairline has almost receded to the top of my head.

At this moment, the door outside sounded.

But Dad Zhu came back, and Director Zhang's lover was with him. The two of them were arguing about something as they walked away.

Until he saw Du Fei, Zhu's father was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Xiao Du is here~"

Zhu Ting and Zhu Ma stood up to greet Director Zhang's wife.

Zhu Ting calls Uncle Xu, while Zhu’s mother calls her Lao Xu.

Du Fei followed behind and called out "Hello Uncle Zhu", and then called Minister Xu "Uncle Zhang~"

Zhu's mother was stunned after hearing this, and said doubtfully, "Xiao Du, where does this uncle of yours come from?"

Minister Xu smiled and explained, "Sister Han, our old Zhang and little Du hit it off right away. A while ago, we were planning to introduce a date to little Du! I didn't expect..." He looked at Zhu Ting and said, "You got there first!"

Mother Zhu smiled and glanced at Du Fei.

She thought that this brat was really popular. Fortunately, Minister Xu didn't have a daughter.

At this time, father Zhu said, "I'll go to the study with old Xu to talk about something." After speaking, he looked at Du Fei, paused and said, "Little Du, come here and make us two cups of tea."

Du Fei didn't expect to be treated like this, and quickly responded and followed.

Father Zhu didn't say it, but he used practical actions to show his recognition of this prospective son-in-law.

It's obvious that the two of them had to go to the study at this late hour, and they must not be chatting, but had important work.

In this case, letting Du Fei in was a trust in Du Fei, and also a kind of support and teaching.

Of course, it also contained some test meanings.

Du Fei knew it well, and followed behind to cheer up.

Zhu's father's study is very simple. In addition to a large desk, there are sofas and coffee tables on the side, which is roughly the same as an office.

Du Fei accidentally found something familiar here.

On the coffee table, there was the chessboard and chess pieces he got from Chen Fangshi last time.

The chessboard was heavy. When he came back from Yanda that time, he didn't take it away because he wanted to take Zhu Ting with him.

Afterwards, Zhu Ting mentioned it once, saying that she had brought the Go set back and asked Du Fei to pick it up himself.

Later, when he was busy with other things, Du Fei forgot about it.

"The tea is there~" Zhu's father pointed to the cabinet next to the window and found that Du Fei didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw the chessboard, as if the chessboard should be placed there as it should be.

Du Fei secretly praised Zhu's father's skill in nourishing his qi, which was definitely the best among the old-fashioned people.

He hurriedly said "Hey", walked over and took the tea.

Anyway, he didn't have any obsession with Go. Since his father-in-law likes it, just give it to him.

Anyway, as long as Zhu Ting is here, there will be nothing left in my father-in-law's house.

But when he opened the cabinet, Du Fei was stunned.

There were more than a dozen tea cans densely packed inside, with labels on them, all of which were famous teas from various places.

Du Fei subconsciously wanted to ask what they wanted to drink.

But he found that Zhu's father and Minister Xu were already sitting on the sofa discussing, and it was a bit difficult to interrupt.

Du Fei simply took the Jasmine Flower directly. Anyway, he was not a secretary, so he just wanted to drink it.

The thermos on the desk was filled with water that had just been boiled at night. Now it was the right temperature for making tea.

Du Fei took two cups, simply washed the tea, and poured a cup for each person.

He brought it over, put it on the coffee table, and then stood by to listen.
