"Clap left, pat right! Bad luck goes away, good luck comes!"
Inside the tenement building——
Her mother, Li Cuilian, took a grapefruit branch and slapped Du Yongxiao all over his body.
Du Yongxiao stood still, letting the grapefruit branches hit his shoulders, waist, and buttocks.
"Okay, step over the brazier!" Mom ordered.
Du Yongxiao looked at the people around him. His father looked serious, his younger brother looked playful, and his little sister was laughing and joking.
Da Tou Wen, Buck Tooth Ju, Zhuang Dingxian, Hu Xi Yong, Ba Liang Jin and others looked like they were watching the fun without bothering to do anything.
There are also white peonies and orioles with different expressions.
Du Yongxiao frowned: "No, it's so old-fashioned!"
"What are you saying? This is a rule set by our ancestors. You have to drive away bad luck when you come out of the cell!" My mother refused to give up.
Du Yongxiao looked at the brazier and had the impression that the bride only stepped into the brazier when she was getting married.
"Brother Xiao, we support you! Step over!"
"Yes, brother Xiao, do you want someone to carry you there? Hushu Yong can do it!"
"What the hell! Let me get eight taels of gold!"
Everyone was laughing and joking.
Du Yongxiao would not let them continue to watch the excitement and stepped directly over the brazier.
"Wow, so sharp!!"
"Yes, Brother Xiao is so mighty, he even straddles the brazier with such style!"
Datou Wen and others are full of flattery.
When Du Yongxiao's accident happened, the "Five Tiger Generals" including Datouwen, Bucktooth Horse, Doujiang Qiang, Zhuang Dingxian and Ren Darong were extremely anxious. Unfortunately, although they were each Inspector Hua, they were unable to save Du Yongxiao, so they could only remain anxious outside.
Now that Du Yongxiao has returned safely, they are happier than anyone else.
As for Hu Yong, Ba Liangjin, Zhou Shazhan and Wu Shazhan stayed at the Marine Police Headquarters, always paying attention to changes in things, running before and after, and contributed a lot.
"Okay, Ah Xiao has returned home safely, you should go back early! The place is small, so we won't let you have food!" Li Cuilian issued an order to expel guests.
Datouwen and others had to say goodbye to Du Yongxiao.
"Brother Xiao, remember to inform us next time something happens!"
"Yes, let's rob the law field together with Ashun!"
The joke that Du Yongshun wanted to help his brother rob the execution ground has long been spread, and everyone made fun of it from time to time.
"Go, go, go!" Li Cuilian used pomelo sticks to drive them away, "They are all crow's mouth! We, Ashun, are ignorant, and you are making fun of us too!"
Dad Du Dapao sent everyone downstairs, clasped his fists and said, "I know you are worried about our Xiao, and you are worried about it! Today is a bit rushed, next time I will treat everyone to a meal!"
"Uncle Pao, you're welcome!"
"Yes, even if we treat you, it's us who treat you!"
Now that Du Dapao has joined the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, his status and status have also increased, and his words and actions are completely different from before.
…
The bustling tenement building is much quieter.
Huang Ying hadn't left yet, so she didn't see anyone outside. She followed Du Yongxiao and poured tea and water. Like her little daughter-in-law, she served Du Yongxiao with meticulous care.
Bai Mudan looked at it with some discomfort in her heart.
Li Cuilian is someone who has been here before, so she doesn't know what the two women are thinking.
Regardless of her status, Bai Mudan cannot be the principal wife of the Du family.
This Huang Ying is quite good, she has good looks and is diligent in her hands and feet, but she doesn't have the temperament to be a big house, so she is destined to be a concubine.
"Ahem, Miss Huang, thank you for your hard work!" Li Cuilian stepped forward and held Huang Ying's hand and said, "Our Xiaoxiao has been taken care of by you for such a long time. I really want to thank you!"
Huang Ying was excited: "No, it should be!"
"What do you mean by should or not? You are just our Axiao's personal secretary, not his wife or concubine, but you have done so many things for him. As a mother, I must thank you!"
Li Cuilian said this very euphemistically, but Huang Ying understood it and blushed: "Oh, I just remembered that there are things to do, um, I have to go back!"
"Really? I originally planned to keep you for dinner, but I didn't expect... next time! I'll cook boiled fish for you when I get the chance!" Li Cuilian said with a smile.
"Well, thank you, aunt!" Huang Ying said no more, glanced at Du Yongxiao with her beautiful eyes, and then reluctantly left.
Bai Mudan could see and hear clearly from the side. Seeing Huang Ying leave, she couldn't help feeling a little sad and planned to leave.
But Li Cuilian stopped her and said, "Miss Bai, please stay to eat. There is just one more seat."
Bai Mudan felt happy when she heard this and couldn't help but look at Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao said indifferently: "Since my mother asked you to stay, you will stay."
Li Cuilian stretched out her hand and patted Du Yongxiao on the back: "Sai! During those days when you were in prison, Miss Bai shed so many tears for you! As a human being, you must know how to be grateful, and never be disgusted with the new!"
…
In the past few days since Du Yongxiao returned home, people have been visiting him.
In addition to the big guys from the Marine Police Department, there were also many Inspector Hua who had dealt with him, among whom Lei Luo was the most important.
After Lei Luo saw Du Yongxiao, he was a little embarrassed in his words, mainly because he did nothing while Du Yongxiao was in prison. In his own words: "I feel a little guilty."
Du Yongxiao thought it was nothing. At that time, many people thought that Du Yongxiao was determined to fight. People like Lei Luo who valued interests very much would never help easily to avoid being dragged into the water by Du Yongxiao.
The more Du Yongxiao acted like it didn't matter, the more guilty Lei Luo felt.
"Anyway, Ah Xiao! Just this once!" Lei Luo finally promised, "If something happens to you again in the future, I will definitely come to your rescue! If not for anything else, just call me Brother Luo for you!"
…
"You little bastard, do you really want me to run you there? After all, I am your superior! After all, I weigh three hundred! You have the heart to let me pass? Why don't you get over here quickly and let me see you!"
No one but Inspector Zonghua Liu Fu dared to yell at Du Yongxiao like this on the phone.
Du Yongxiao was also very "well-behaved" and "obedient". After receiving Liu Fu's call, he rushed to the office of Inspector General Hua of Wan Chai Police Station as quickly as possible.
In the office, Liu Fu was yelling at his nephew Liu He: "You are a scumbag, I am embarrassed to be my nephew! Although that guy is from a bad background, he is obsessed with you -"
"No, second uncle, didn't you once say that she was despicable and unworthy of entering our old Liu family -"
"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak!" Liu Fu scolded and continued to point at Liu He's nose: "Where did I talk just now? You bastard always interrupts my train of thought, knowing that I have a bad memory - oh yes What's wrong with her? Now that you've married her and she's given birth to a child for you, you just want to be a good husband, take care of each other, and still go out and fool around, what do you mean?"
"Second uncle, I don't have it!"
"Really?" Liu Fu opened the drawer and took out a stack of IOUs, "What are these? If you're out there, you can just do it, and you've written so many IOUs in my name. Do you still have any humanity?"
