On Monday morning, when Dong Xuebin got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom, Yu Meixia had already prepared breakfast. (
When Dong Xuebin finished brushing his teeth and washing up, and "touched" Yu Qianqian's head with a smile to let her eat together, Yu Meixia quickly pulled out a chair for Director Dong to sit on, and said, "Director Dong, there are no eggs at home. I just bought millet and stick noodles, as well as a few celery and some chicken and pork." She pulled out a small ledger and read to Dong Xuebin, "The eggs cost eleven and a half yuan, and I bought a pound of millet, which cost..."
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said, "No need to bother, just sit down and eat."
Yu Meixia said oh, looked at him, put down the account book, sat down softly, and immediately peeled the eggs for Dong Xuebin. The Power of Time and Wealth 192
Dong Xuebin was not polite to her, thanked her, took the egg and took a bite, "Are you used to sleeping last night?"
"I'm used to it. I haven't had such a solid sleep for a long time. I've always been worried about the outside world in the past six months. Director Dong, thank you for taking us in." Debt-free and light, when Yu Meixia went to bed last night, he actually found the feeling of home in that Small Bedroom. It was very warm. It was warm and comfortable. She and Yu Qianqian hugged each other and cried for a while before falling asleep. At that time, Yu Meixia secretly decided that she must be a good nanny and serve Director Dong properly. She could no longer let her daughter sleep on the street with her and suffer.
Snort, sniff, sniff. At this time, Dong Xuebin saw Yu Qianqian sucking the porridge in an unsightly manner and making a loud noise, so he laughed and said, "You are not allowed to drink porridge like this in the future. You have to use a spoon. Even if you drink from the bowl, don't make a sound. That is unladylike, do you understand?"
Yu Qianqian blushed and lowered his head, "Yes, I'm sorry."
Yu Meixia said hurriedly, "We country people have never seen much of the world. We must pay attention... from now on."
Dong Xuebin smiled, "I did it for Qian Qian's own good. I have no other intention. Some bad habits must be changed. Sister Yu. Yesterday, I didn't have the nerve to say whether you "inserted" your chopsticks into the rice after serving it at night. In the bowl? Do you know what this means? In ancient times, it was unlucky to insert chopsticks into the rice on the last day of the execution, haha, look at you, I didn't mean anything else, don't apologize. If a guest comes next time, you are not allowed to insert chopsticks like this, haha."
Yu Meixia nodded quickly, "I promise there won't be a next time."
Some rural areas may not be so particular, but Capital City people are very particular about these etiquettes. Dong Xuebin is afraid of making a fool of themselves in the future, so they must remind them now, otherwise when a colleague comes to the house in the future, if Yu Meixia continues to "insert" chopsticks like this, the colleague may think that he is beating him.
After the meal, Dong Xuebin put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full, I'm going to work."
Yu Meixia put down the porridge bowl, trotted to the sofa and took the leather bag and handed it to Dong Xuebin. He quickly fetched his coat and diligently helped Dong Xuebin put on his clothes. Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, felt a little relieved, and felt a little elated. He felt that he had not hired a nanny, but a daughter-in-law. Although Yu Meixia was a little clumsy, Dong Xuebin felt that the two hundred thousand dollars was really worth it just for the services of massage and baggage and clothes.
"Are you coming back for lunch?"
"No, you two can eat it by yourselves."
"Then... walk slowly." Yu Meixia stood at the door, waiting for Dong Xuebin to go down the stairs before he dared to close the door and go back to the house.
After walking out of Public Security Bureau Family Compound, Dong Xuebin strolled towards the county bureau. Buick Business was a public bus after all. Although the bureau did not clearly stipulate anything, it was really not good for Dong Xuebin to always occupy it. Even, who ranked higher than him in the party committee, Qin Yong Zhao Jinsong doesn't even have a private car, so Dong Xuebin usually doesn't drive the car home when he's not leaving Huitian Township. There's no need for such a short two-walk, and there's no need for anyone to gossip behind his back.
Just after crossing the road, suddenly, a young man setting up a stall on the roadside attracted Dong Xuebin's attention.
There were several oil paintings on the stall, some painted sunflowers, some painted landscapes, the colors were very beautiful. Dong Xuebin I have seen many people selling sketches, but oil paintings are still rare. When passing by, I slowed my steps slightly and turned my head to look at some paintings, "Did you paint this? How do you sell it?"
The long-haired young man nodded, "They are all Yantai County scenery, three hundred yuan a piece."
There was also a bystander nearby who couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "Young man, you can't sell this painting for three hundred, it's too expensive."
Dong Xuebin also thinks so, and the sketch of a real person is pretty much the same. Just as he was about to leave, a police car suddenly stopped nearby. When he looked sideways, he saw that the driver was a policewoman with a passable appearance. As soon as the back door opened, Zhao Jinsong, dressed in a police uniform, stepped out of the car with narrowed eyes. The Power of Time and Wealth 192
Zhao Jinsong said hypocritically, "Director Dong, are you going to work? Let's get in the car together?"
Dong Xuebin smiled softly and said, "Thank you Director Zhao, no need. Exercising in the morning is good for your health."
"Haha, Director Dong still knows how to maintain health."
Dong Xuebin naturally has no good impression of him. Firstly, Zhao Jinsong is a hardcore member of the Hu Yiguo faction. Secondly, his son Zhao Shuo once felt sorry for Yu Meixia Yu Qianqian on Commercial Street. The mother and daughter came three times and heard Qin Yong say that Zhao Jinsong was an old pervert. No, even the driver who picked him up at work hired a policewoman. It seemed that the rumors were true. It must be true that Zhao Jinsong has been thinking about Hu Silian, a married woman.
After a few useless gossips, Zhao Jinsong was ready to turn around and get in the car.
Dong Xuebin was also ready to leave, but unexpectedly, he took just a dozen steps and found that the police car had not moved. When he turned around, Zhao Jinsong was still standing in front of the oil painting stall with a surprised look on his face, staring at a landscape oil painting of grass, woods, cliffs and the sun. Dong Xuebin felt happy, what did he mean? In addition to being lustful, this Zhao Jinsong is also an elegant person? Can't see it
"Where did you get this painting?" Zhao Jinsong asked.
The young man behind the stall replied, "I painted them all myself. Each painting costs three hundred yuan."
Zhao Jinsong pointed to the landscape painting, "Which county's scenery is this?"
"Yantai County, Da Sen Mountain's."
Zhao Jinsong became a little excited, "Did you draw it according to the real scene..."
"The real scene was shot and painted on the mountain yesterday morning. What's wrong?" The young man was a little strange.
Zhao Jinsong took a breath and took out three hundred yuan from his pocket without thinking, "Wrap the painting for me, I'll buy it."
Not far away, Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment. Three hundred yuan to buy an oil painting? Isn't this a disease? The beautifully framed oil paintings sold in shopping malls only cost more than a hundred yuan, and some can be bought for tens of dollars. Why would you buy a painting from a small stall by a little famous artist? It doesn't look like the painting is that good, either? Dong Xuebin felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he turned around and walked back, "Director Zhao, I'm so excited. What painting did you buy?"
Zhao Jinsong replied casually, and then got into the police car holding the oil painting. The front of the oil painting was wrapped in a piece of cloth, as if he didn't want the second person to see it. Seeing Zhao Jinsong as if he had found a treasure, Dong Xuebin was puzzled, but at this moment, the sensitive nerves he had trained over the past few months played a key role, Dong Xuebin was first The reaction is that this painting is weird, otherwise Zhao Jinsong would not be like this. Although it is not clear what secret is hidden in this painting, Dong Xuebin does not want Zhao Jinsong to take advantage of it.
No matter what, grab it first and then study it.
back three minutes
Time suddenly retreated
"They are all Yantai County scenery, three hundred yuan a piece."
"Young man, you can't sell this painting for three hundred, it's too expensive." The Power of Time and Wealth 192
It happened to be back when Dong Xuebin had just asked the young man about the price. He turned his head and glanced behind him. He saw that the police car Zhao Jinsong was sitting in had passed the traffic light and was getting closer and closer to him. Dong Xuebin no longer hesitated and immediately took out three hundred dollars and gave it to the young man, "I want this landscape painting. Wrap it up for me. Yes, wrap it with a cloth."
Suddenly, the sound of the car door came from behind, "Director Dong, go to work? Get in the car together?"
Dong Xuebin quickly put his body out of the way and said, "No, thank you Director Zhao for your kindness. Just think of walking as a physical exercise."
Zhao Jinsong glanced behind Dong Xuebin, "Director Dong is interested in oil painting?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "No, just looking around."
The young man also wrapped up the oil painting at this time and said, "Take it, there are holes on the back of the frame. Buy some sticky nails and you can hang it on the wall." After taking the painting, Dong Xuebin said goodbye to Zhao Jinsong. Seeing him buying an oil painting, Zhao Jinsong couldn't help but sneer at it, thinking, "Why are you pretending to be elegant? Can such a small stall have good paintings?"
County Public Security Bureau compound.
Back in the office, Dong Xuebin sat on the chair and removed the canvas, studying the oil painting over and over again. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything special. Could it be that Zhao Jinsong knew oil painting very well and knew which oil painting master this was, so that's why he bought it? It shouldn't be. Didn't the young man selling the painting say that the painting was just a Yantai County landscape? Are young people talking nonsense? Or is there something special about this painting that I don't know about?
After studying for more than ten minutes, Dong Xuebin almost dismantled the frame, but still found nothing.
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door. Dong Xuebin pushed the oil painting aside and said, "... Please come in."
"Director Dong." The person who came in was Liu Dahai. Today, the county bureau had a collective meeting with director Police Station. Liu Dahai came to report and report to the supervisor first. After briefly talking about Huitian Township's security situation over the past two days and a relatively sensitive case, Liu Dahai was ready to leave.
Dong Xuebin blinked, but called him, "Lao Liu, don't leave in a hurry, sit down for a while."
Liu Dahai smiled and sat back down again, knowing that Director Dong was in trouble.
Dong Xuebin pondered and asked, "Are you familiar with Director Zhao Jinsong? Director Zhao knows oil painting very well?"
"Oil paintings?" Liu Dahai shook his head suspiciously, "I really don't know about this, but I have never seen Director Zhao interested in oil paintings, but some flowers and plants. Director Zhao seems to like them very much and is very knowledgeable about them. In the early years, Director Zhao often took his children to pick wild vegetables in the mountains behind our Huitian Township."
Dong Xuebin pinched his eyebrows and said in confusion, "Flowers and plants?"
Liu Dahai said yes, "Director Zhao was a cadre who came out of the Provincial Institute of Botany when he was young. He knows a lot about flowers and plants."
Oil painting? An expert in plant research? Know about flowers and plants?
As soon as Liu Dahai left, Dong Xuebin began to digest what he said. Finally, he suddenly slapped the table, grabbed the oil painting and laid it across the table. He used his fingers to search for the lawn under the oil painting. There were weeds, some wildflowers, and more, a few grasses with several blades. It felt as if he had seen it before but also as if he had never seen it before., Dong Xuebin has not done any research on these, so he cannot name the flowers and plants at all, but he is now certain that the reason why Zhao Jinsong bought this oil painting and asked the young man if it was the actual painting is probably because there are some rare species among these flowers and plants. He wanted to buy the painting and go look for it on Da Sen Mountain himself.
The thing that moved Zhao Jinsong's heart was not an ordinary thing. It might be worth a lot of money. Dong Xuebin mentally mentioned it. He had recently spent a lot of money on Yu Meixia mother and daughter, and now he was almost penniless. Of course, Dong Xuebin would not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.
During the lunch break, Dong Xuebin went to Hu Silian to ask for leave, got the keys to the Buick, and drove back to Family Compound. His work focus is mainly on Huitian Township, so it's not a big deal if he doesn't go to work in the afternoon. He doesn't have to sit with the bureau every day.
With a click, he took out the key and opened the door, and saw Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian eating.
Yu Meixia was a little flustered and stood up, "Why are you back? I, I..."
The food on the table was quite rich, including shredded chicken stir-fried with bell peppers, stir-fried meat with celery, and an egg. "I haven't eaten yet, please serve me a bowl of rice." Dong Xuebin took off his coat. Seeing this, Yu Meixia hurried up to receive it eagerly. He took his coat and hung it on the clothes rack, bent down and took a pair of slippers and put them in front of Dong Xuebin's feet. Then he went to the kitchen to serve the meal uneasily as if he had done something wrong. From time to time he looked at Dong Xuebin's face, observing his expression.
Dong Xuebin said funny, "Sister Yu, what's wrong?"
Yu Qianqian whispered, "My mother was afraid that I would be hungry, so she cooked a few more vegetables."
Director Dong said in the morning that he wouldn't be back for lunch. Yu Meixia naturally couldn't make the dishes too rich, but her daughter had been suffering for half a year and hadn't had a good meal. She felt really distressed, thinking that since Director Dong wouldn't go home So Yu Meixia secretly prepared a few more meat dishes, hoping to make her daughter full, but she was caught in the act, so Yu Meixia seemed to have done something wrong, "Dong, Director Dong, I, I won't dare next time."
Dong Xuebin said speechlessly, "I don't even understand what you are talking about. Isn't it just cooking a few dishes? What's wrong?"
Yu Meixia lowered his head and said, "The fried food... is so rich."
Dong Xuebin waved her to sit down, "Oh, is that all? By the way, what is this abundance? Sister Yu, if you eat with Qian Qian every day, Make some vegetarian dishes before I criticize you. The child is growing up and needs to eat more meat. Next time you buy some fish and shrimp and cook them for Qian Qian. You are not allowed to mess with the child when I am not at home. Make more good things."
Yu Meixia was really afraid that Director Dong would drive them away. Seeing that he was not angry, he felt relieved and said, "Thank you."
Dong Xuebin added a chopstick of chicken shreds to Yu Qianqian, "Eat more. Tell your mother what you want to eat in the future and ask her to buy it for you. If she doesn't buy it, you can complain to your brother and I will deal with her."
Yu Qianqian nodded gently with red eyes, thinking that my brother is really good to me.
"Sister Yu, sit down and eat too." Dong Xuebin put vegetables in Yu Meixia's bowl, "Why aren't you watching TV?"
Yu Meixia's face heated up, "I, I don't know how to turn it on, I can't find the switch."
Dong Xuebin fainted, but he didn't laugh at her. Some villages were so poor that they didn't even have a TV, and the switch for the LCD TV at home was indeed not in the front. "Well, the switch is at the back. You can find it by touching with your right hand along the right side. Sometimes if you want to use the remote control to turn off the TV, you may have to use the remote control to press the red button to turn it on. Uh, forget it, I'll teach you after dinner."
After the meal, Dong Xuebin taught Yu Meixia step by step how to turn on the TV, air conditioner and washing machine. Yu Meixia is not very smart and is a bit clumsy, but Yu Qianqian learned it immediately. Soon the little girl blinked her big curious eyes and touched things in the room that she had never had the chance to touch.
"Are you still going to work this afternoon?" Yu Meixia asked.
Dong Xuebin slapped his forehead, "If you don't tell me, I've forgotten it. If I don't get on board, I have to go to Da Sen Mountain. Do you know where it is?"
Yu Meixia nodded slightly, "I know, it's in the south, the scenery there is nice."
"Okay, how about you and Qian Qian pack up and we go together. I don't know the way over there." After living with the mother and daughter for a day, Dong Xuebin really found a bit of family fun in it. When he thought that he was going to go hiking in the mountains to find things anyway, he simply took them with him and treated it like an outing in the wild.
Yu Meixia was a little scared. She was afraid of embarrassing Director Dong when she went out. "... What should I bring?"
Dong Xuebin said, "Bring a few flower pots, maybe I need to put something in them. The rest can be whatever you want, such as tablecloths, bowls and chopsticks. I'll go to the supermarket later to buy some ready-made food. Let's finish dinner on the mountain and come back soon after dark."
As soon as he heard that he wanted to play, Yu Qianqian's weak pupils showed a look of yearning.
Two hours later, at the foot of Da Sen Mountain.
Dong Xuebin drove along the bumpy mountain road and parked Buick Business at the foot of the mountain. When he got out of the car, he saw that he was surrounded by green mountains and forests. The mountain was not too high, but from Dong Xuebin's current angle, the road up the mountain was very steep. It was densely covered with big trees and the grass was very tall. There should be snakes.
Over there, a local villager carrying a straw basket was walking down the mountain.
Dong Xuebin immediately picked up the oil painting and went up to it, "Fellow, please ask me something, do you know where the place on the painting is?"
The fellow took a look at the oil painting and said, "It should be in the back mountain, but there are poisonous snakes there, so no one dares to go there."
"Oh, thank you." After the fellow villagers left, Dong Xuebin went back to the car and took a big bag, "Let's go hiking."
Yu Qianqian and Yu Meixia's faces turned a little pale. They were frightened by the word "venomous snake" and couldn't move a step.
Dong Xuebin Seeing that neither of them followed, he couldn't help but turn around and smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay if there are snakes." He didn't have any fear, the key was that he had a back that he could use.
Yu Meixia took her daughter's hand and boldly took a few steps, "I, let me help you get your bag."
"No, it's so heavy that you can't lift it. Just hold the oil painting. Our main purpose is to find the place on the painting."
The mountain road was indeed difficult to walk. After walking only a few dozen meters, Dong Xuebin and Yu Meixia each stumbled once on invisible stones in the grass. After two hundred meters, the woods gradually became denser and the angle of the uphill slope became larger. Dong Xuebin could barely hold on by himself, but Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian couldn't. There were some slopes with a larger angle that neither of them could climb, making it very difficult for them to walk.
Dong Xuebin took a look, wiped his sweat and stopped, "Come on, give me your hands, I will pull you up."
Yu Meixia saw him reaching out his hand, his face couldn't help but feel hot, "No, no need."
Dong Xuebin said, "Why don't you go down the mountain and get back to the car to wait for me? It's still quite far away, so you won't be able to go up the mountain."
How could Yu Meixia dare to go down the mountain by himself? Yu Qianqian didn't have the guts either. Look at Dong Xuebin. Yu Qianqian first handed over his hand carefully. The little girl blushed fiercely. Yu Meixia bit her lower lip. Even though she was a woman in her thirties who had given birth to a child, she was very thin-skinned. She blushed and stretched her hand forward hesitantly, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Not only did the mother and daughter have exactly the same faces, but they also had similar personalities. They were both delicate and conservative.
Dong Xuebin held the mother and daughter's hands respectively and squeezed them gently.
Yu Qianqian's hands were cold and refreshing, while Yu Meixia's hands were soft and soft.
Dong Xuebin's heart felt warm, and he subconsciously glanced at Yu Meixia's plump buttocks, and then at Yu Qianqian's thin waist. He coughed, and then he pulled them up the small slope, stepped over a large stone half a person's height, and continued to climb the mountain on the grass. The left hand is a beautiful mother, and the right hand is a beautiful daughter. Dong Xuebin feels that she is blessed with a lot of beauty, and a sense of accomplishment arises in her heart.
Climb, crawl, walk, walk...
Half an hour later, the three finally climbed up the back mountain.
Along the way, Yu Meixia fell down three times in total, and Yu Qianqian fell twice. It was Dong Xuebin's quick eyesight and quick hands that pulled them back out of danger. Of course, when rescuing people, there would be some unavoidable physical contact, such as careless elbows. Squeezed into Yu Meixia's plump breasts, you can feel that she seems to be wearing a very soft bra. Another example is that she accidentally "touched" Yu Qianqian's little butt when pulling someone in. Her outer pants were very thin, and Dong Xuebin seemed to "touch" the lines of the little girl's underwear.
All in all, Dong Xuebin is a real treat.
Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian kept their heads down as if they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"This is it, let's go, look carefully." The back mountain was already flat, but Dong Xuebin was a little addicted, so he shamelessly continued to hold the mother and daughter's hands without letting go.
Yu Meixia shyly pulled his hand out, but did not pull it out, "Dong, Director Dong, myself... you..."
Dong Xuebin looked at her pretending to be stupid, "What's wrong?"
Yu Meixia looked at the hand he held and didn't dare to say directly, "... No, it's nothing."
Dong Xuebin smiled like a dog, "Let's go then, watch your step."
