Chapter 471: A Chess Piece

Du Fei smiled and said, "There are indeed many rats in the granary, but they are not that weird. Don't listen to rumors."

At this time, Bang Geng, who was beside him, was also listening and interrupted, "Uncle Du, this matter has also been heard in our school. It is said that the rats ate all the grain in the granary overnight..."

Du Fei's heart was moved when he heard it.

In theory, the granary started to be infested with rats as soon as it got dark last night.

It took only two or three hours for Xiao Wu to drive away the rat tide.

Even if there were many rats and they were greedy, it was impossible for them to eat all the grain in the granary. ??

But Bang Geng just heard it from others, so he didn't necessarily take it seriously.

After chatting with Sha Zhu and Bang Geng for a few more words, Du Fei pushed the cart back home.

In his heart, he was still thinking about what Bang Geng had just mentioned.

Thinking of the fact that Gu Bingzhong suddenly left in a hurry when he was eating halfway through the meal last night.

It seemed to be more evidence that this was not groundless.

Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help sucking his teeth.

If that's the case, then the water here is too deep.

Du Fei thought while washing up, went upstairs to change clothes and lay down.

He glanced at the wall clock.

It's not nine o'clock yet, it's a bit too early to go to bed.

He picked up the "Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" placed next to the pillow.

But after turning two pages, the mysterious man who can control mice described by Sister Zhang kept appearing in his mind.

Sloppy, full of beard...

Thinking about it, I don't know when, I reached out and turned off the light cord in a daze.

The next morning, when I opened my eyes again, it was almost eight o'clock.

Du Fei rubbed his temples.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I had a series of dreams.

I still remember that I changed at least three or four scenes in the dream when I woke up. It was a mess, and I dreamed of many people.

Du Fei couldn't help but take a breath, cheered up and hurriedly got dressed, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

He didn't even have time to eat breakfast and rushed to the office.

But just after leaving the courtyard gate, he vaguely saw a figure flashing into a small alley more than ten meters away.

Du Fei didn't care and hurriedly rode away.

After the film, a sharp-nosed and monkey-faced figure poked out from the alley, looking at this side slyly...

Du Fei hurried to the office and finally didn't be late.

He was just in the newspaper yesterday and became an advanced model. It's not right to be late for work today.

In the office, the news of rats in the grain storage warehouse is still fermenting.

After yesterday.

Sister Zhang emptied her exclusive news.

Aunt Zheng returned strongly, saying that it was the nephew of old Sister Wu who lived opposite their house, who worked in the grain storage warehouse.

He got a lot of inside information.

When Du Fei came, Aunt Zheng was talking excitedly.

She even mentioned the grain in the grain storage warehouse, which was eaten by rats and there was nothing left.

Du Fei frowned, wondering if Auntie Zheng was talking about the same source as Bang Geng.

At noon, Du Fei and Section Chief Qian were preparing to go to the canteen for lunch.

But as soon as they walked out of the street office gate, they saw Wang Dacheng riding a motorcycle and waving at him from afar.

Section Chief Qian was watching from the side, "Okay~ Your lunch is settled again."

Du Fei said, "I have to trouble you again."

Section Chief Qian waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite to me."

Du Fei separated from Section Chief Qian and walked over to tease Wang Dacheng, "What did you encounter today that you came here to treat me to a meal?"

Then he sat down on the sidecar of the motorcycle.

Wang Dacheng kicked the motorcycle and smiled, "I'm asking for a favor. I really have to treat you to something good for lunch today."

But after a while, when they arrived at the place, Du Fei found out.

After all the fuss, Wang Dacheng's so-called good meal turned out to be fried noodles with soybean sauce!

Inevitably, Du Fei mocked him.

Wang Dacheng smiled and didn't explain, just told Du Fei to taste it first.

A few minutes later, two bowls of noodles came up.

Because it wasn't hot yet, both bowls were full of "pot picks".

The fried sauce and vegetables were still steaming hot.

The only pity was that cucumbers hadn't come down yet in this season, and the vegetables only had some shredded radish and bean sprouts.

"Try it~" Wang Dacheng took the chopsticks and said while mixing the noodles. He picked up a chopstick of noodles at random, slurped it, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing his delicious expression.

Du Fei also became interested and immediately took the chopsticks to mix the noodles.

Du Fei loves noodles, so he is a little picky about noodles.

It's true, this bowl of fried noodles is really good!

The noodles are chewy and chewy, and the sauce is fried well.

The only flaw is that there are no cucumbers and garlic.

There really was no cucumber, and although there was garlic, Du Fei didn't dare to eat it.

He had to go to work in the afternoon, and the smell of garlic in his mouth was unbearable.

Du Fei and Wang Dacheng didn't have the habit of chewing noodles slowly, and they ate a big bowl of noodles in a short time.

Wang Dacheng wiped his mouth and then talked about business, "Brother, there were rats in the grain storage the night before yesterday... You were there at the scene~"

Du Fei didn't hide it. Since Wang Dacheng had come, he must have known something about it.

Besides, it was nothing shameful for him to bring Xiao Wu to help.

Wang Dacheng asked hurriedly, "Then tell me in detail about the specific situation at that time."

Du Fei didn't answer but asked, "Did the grain storage report the case?"

Wang Dacheng nodded seriously, "Who dares to cover up such a big matter?"

Du Fei said, "Did it fall on you?"

Wang Dacheng nodded helplessly.

Everyone can see this. The water inside is very deep and very difficult to handle.

But there was no other way. Since Gu Bingzhong chose to report the crime, he was determined not to take the blame.

Now it falls into Wang Dacheng's hands, which is also a hot potato.

Du Fei simply told everything he knew.

Wang Dacheng still had a calm expression on his face.

It was obvious that when Du Fei said this, he had already mastered it to some extent.

Until the end, Du Fei mentioned that Sister Zhang and her husband had met that person.

Only then did Wang Dacheng's spirit perk up, "There's still this matter!"

Du Fei poured cold water on them and said, "Don't have too much hope. You should know the moral character of these old ladies."

Wang Dacheng licked his lips, still holding on to a glimmer of hope. "No matter what, let's find out and ask first."

After finishing speaking, Wang Dacheng couldn't sit still anymore and took Du Fei directly back to the street office.

Sister Zhang doesn't live nearby, so the lunch box she brought for lunch was heated in the boiler room.

When Du Fei and Wang Dacheng came back, Sister Zhang had just finished eating and was about to wash the lunch box.

When the three of them met in the courtyard, Du Fei hurriedly stopped her and explained the situation.

Sister Zhang was suddenly embarrassed.

Du Fei guessed what was going on.

She must have been bragging and telling lies before, but now it's a little embarrassing to change her story.

Before Sister Zhang could tell her lie, Du Fei said, "Sister Zhang, don't worry, we won't tell anyone what you say now. But if you don't tell the truth and delay things... you know better than me what the consequences will be." ”

Although Du Fei is not very old, he really has some momentum once he speaks with a straight face.

In addition, the policeman Wang Dacheng stood beside him.

Sister Zhang didn't dare to think about anything else and quickly told the truth, "That thing is indeed true, but it wasn't something our family saw with our own eyes. We heard it from a colleague named Wu Li in their unit..." "

When Wang Dacheng heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. ??

As long as this thing is true, it doesn't matter who sees it to him.

Wang Dacheng hurriedly asked some more about Wu Li, then got on his motorcycle and sped away.

The remaining sisters Zhang and Du Fei smiled awkwardly and hurriedly went to wash the lunch boxes.

Du Fei, as if nothing had happened, returned to the office, took out a small red book, and started to memorize it.

Wait until I get off work in the evening.

He immediately got on his bicycle and headed straight to the government compound in the west of the city along Fuxing Road.

After registration, enter the courtyard.

It didn't take long to arrive at Zhu Ting's house.

As a result, when I knocked on the door, I found that neither Zhu's father nor Zhu's mother was at home, only a young orderly named Wang.

Xiao Wang often saw Du Fei coming over recently, and the two of them didn't get along very well. They made Du Fei a cup of tea and started chatting.

Waited for more than ten minutes.

When Zhu's mother came back from get off work, she was surprised and happy to see Du Fei, "Xiao Du, you kid passed by without saying a word in advance."

Du Fei said with a smile, "If you don't tell me, treat this as your own home~ Whoever comes home must say hello in advance."

Zhu Ma glared at him, but she was very happy in her heart.

He hurriedly changed his coat and made arrangements to cook for Du Fei.

Du Fei also put on an apron and went to the kitchen to help.

At first, Zhu’s mother told him not to be busy and just wait for dinner.

As a result, Du Fei picked up the kitchen knife and operated it "dang dang dang". The potato shreds were cut finely and evenly.

Ma Zhu was immediately restrained.

When it comes to cooking, Zhu Ma is considered an expert.

But after liberation, I moved into the city and had servants at home, so I didn’t cook often.

Only during holidays or occasionally when the mood strikes, will I do something.

Although his craftsmanship has declined, his vision has kept pace with the times.

Du Fei took a big kitchen knife and put all the shredded potatoes into a large bowl filled with water.

Brush it and the potato shreds spread out evenly.

When Du Fei took the spoon himself and fried some shredded potatoes, Zhu's mother tasted it and was full of praise.

Originally, she was a little worried. If Zhu Ting really married Du Fei, how would they live in the future?

Zhu Ting's cooking skills, as a mother, are well known, and she only knows how to cook them well enough to be eaten.

Who knows, those who are blessed do not need to be busy, while those who are not blessed are heartbroken.

In the end, Zhu Ting just found someone who could cook.

In this day and age, not many men know how to cook.

Du Fei's move was another big plus in front of Zhu's mother.

Later, Zhu’s mother also cooked herself, frying her signature vinegar-soaked cabbage slices and cutting a plate of luncheon meat.

The staple food is bought directly from the courtyard canteen, which is a big steamed bun with two noodles.

Du Fei was not polite, opened his cheeks, and ate four of them. <

br>

After waiting for the meal to be finished, the waiter cleared the table.

Zhu's mother returned to the living room, turned on the TV, and chatted with Du Fei while knitting.

She guessed that Du Fei must have something to do here today, but she never said anything, obviously waiting for Dad Zhu.

Zhu's mother was very patient, so she didn't ask questions in a hurry.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Zhu's father came back from outside and was stunned when he saw Du Fei.

This time Du Fei said hello, without saying any nonsense, and immediately explained his purpose of visit in front of the two of them.

When Zhu's mother heard this, she suddenly became worried and complained, "You said that there are old noses in the army and the army who are good at fighting. Why did you focus on our Xiaofei!"

Dad Zhu had a calm expression on his face and did not express his position easily. He looked at Du Fei and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Du Fei did not mince his words and directly stated his attitude: "I thought carefully about it all night yesterday and I don't want to go."

Dad Zhu's eyes were slightly narrowed, with a pair of phoenix eyes inherited from his family, and a sharp look flashed through him, "Are you afraid of danger, or do you not want to contribute to the country?"

Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's a lie to say you're not afraid of danger, but it's not the main reason."

Dad Zhu said noncommittally, "Oh~ Then what is the main reason?"

Du Fei said calmly, "I admit that the comrades on the hidden front are all heroes, but in the end this road can only be a sharp blade, and my future has more possibilities and a broader future." space."

Dad Zhu closed his eyes, restrained his sharpness, and immediately laughed out loud, "What an arrogant boy! Then I'll give you a chance to see if your sense is as big as your tone."

Du Fei smiled and didn't argue any more. He just said "Thank you, Uncle Zhu" and stood up to leave.

After sending Du Fei off, Zhu's mother was still a little unhappy and complained, "What do you think those people want to do? They know clearly about Du Fei and our Xiaoting's affairs, but they still play such tricks."

Dad Zhu smiled and said, "What are you doing? Humph~ You just want me to call you."

Zhu’s mother was also very responsive and immediately asked, “Is this phone easy to make?”

Dad Zhu said, "There is nothing difficult to fight, but this guy Du Fei really impressed me again."

As he spoke, he sighed again, "No wonder that girl Xiaoting, even those who don't have enough money and salt are fooled by him."

Zhu Ma immediately glared at him, "Old man, how could you say that about your own daughter?"

Dad Zhu curled his lips and said, "Just be honest. Not to mention Xiaoting, even I~ have become curious and expectant of him these two times."

When Du Fei came out of Zhu's house, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

With Zhu's father's promise, there should be no more entanglements over there.

As for why Dad Zhu must come forward, Du Fei probably figured it out.

I'm afraid there is something going on between the person behind Zhou Peng and Zhu's father.

And he is just a small pawn in the game between the two parties.

Du Fei didn't object to this at all.

He has long passed the age of second grade.

The world is originally a chess game within a chess game. You have been a chess player in this game, but you will be reduced to a chess piece on a larger chess board.

Sure enough, when he went to work the next day, Zhou Peng gave him a meaningful wink with a smile.

Du Fei estimated that this matter was over.

A few more days passed.

There is still no progress at the grain storage depot.

As the person in charge, Wang Dacheng pulled his hair anxiously.

Although I found Wu Li from their unit through Sister Zhang’s lover that day.

But Wu Li just walked by.

I just glanced at it without looking carefully at all.
