Zhang Dahai and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Dahai, in particular, almost laughed like a pig. For no other reason than that, children who are not beaten by their parents in the countryside seem to have an incomplete childhood.
When he and his sister were disobedient, his grandfather would chase them with a bamboo stick and beat them from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
This phenomenon can be encountered in basically every household.
If we were in a city, this kind of education might be attacked by many people. But it is an indisputable fact that filial sons emerge from under the stick.
On the contrary, those who are pampered will turn against their parents when they grow up.
Soon, Zhang Cuili stepped forward to stop Wang Tieniu and said, "Uncle Tieniu, stop fighting. If you do, you will break the child."
Wang Tieniu snorted and said: "You can't become a talent without fighting. He stole needles when he was a child, and stole gold when he grew up. I have to teach him a lesson, otherwise he won't even know how to write the word "death"!
Mu Mu was so desperate that he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't steal it, it was Brother Dahai who gave me the money!" I found aloe vera and gave it to him, and he gave me money! ]
"You still dare to quibble! I'll beat you to death!"
[Hit me, just beat me to death! ] Mumu is also a stubborn master, thinking that if you don’t believe it, just beat me to death.
Zhang Dahai hurriedly came to the rescue, hehe said: "Uncle Tieniu, don't fight! This money is indeed given by me. I not only gave the wood, but also the Yingzi, Shitou and five children, one hundred yuan each."
Hearing this, Wang Tieniu froze with his raised palm and looked at Zhang Dahai in astonishment.
Zhang Dahai explained: "It's like this. I recently developed an ointment that requires aloe vera, lotus seeds, and motherwort. I was busy and couldn't find it myself, so I asked Mumu and the others to help me find it. I paid a dollar for each of them."
When Mu Mu saw Zhang Dahai proving his innocence, he burst into tears and pointed at his father and cursed.
Wang Tieniu was confused. It was true that he had blamed the wrong son.
But he was a grown man and couldn't show his dignity, so he apologized to his son, and for a while, he was riding a tiger that was hard to get off.
Zhang Cuili stepped forward distressed, touched Mu Mu's head, and said with a smile: "Your father beat you because he was afraid that you would go astray. His original intention was good. You were beaten because you helped us find medicine. Dahai and I had to Take a certain amount of responsibility. In this case, we will give you 200 yuan, so don’t hate your dad, okay?"
After saying that, Zhang Cuili, who had always been stingy, took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into Mu Mu's palm.
[Niece Cuili, I can’t help it, how can I ask for your money! ]
Wang Tieniu waved his hand and refused.
Zhang Dahai intervened at the right time, told about the large purchase of those three plants, and asked Wang Tieniu to send a message to the villagers.
Wang Tieniu became very excited and claimed to know where there was a large area of aloe vera.
In a fit of joy, he picked up his son and kissed and hugged him. After all, there was no obstacle that could not be overcome between father and son, and they quickly reconciled.
After they left, Miao Yanhua and her daughter prepared dinner.
Not long after, another rare visitor was welcomed at the entrance of the courtyard.
I saw Xu Baining, who was wearing a police uniform and had a dashing appearance, walking into the yard with a big pig's trotter in his hand, moving left and right. Smelling the aroma of meat wafting out of the cauldron, the cute little Qiong's nose moved again and again.
The three people cooking also heard the footsteps and turned around. Immediately, he saw the slim Xu Baining standing there.
Zhang Cuili and Miao Yanhua quickly put down their work and approached cautiously.
They were a little worried and didn't know what mistake they had made, which attracted the police to their door.
"Police officer, may I ask where you are?"
[Don't be nervous, I'm the resident policeman here to see Zhang Dahai! ]
Xu Baining tried her best to be amiable and approachable.
"Looking for the sea?" Zhang Cuili's heart was beating wildly. She grabbed the hem of her skirt with her small hands and rolled it up several times.
Could it be that Dahai had committed something that caused others to come to investigate?
Thinking of this, her face turned pale.
Seeing her looking like she was about to cry, Xu Baining quickly explained: "Beauty, don't get me wrong, this is a good thing! Didn't Zhang Dahai follow me yesterday to arrest Zhou Guangren? In order to commend him, the institute specially asked me to bring condolence money coming."
Zhang Cuili was relieved when she heard that she was not here to ask questions. She smiled and said, "Officer Xu, you came at the right time. We are about to cook dinner. Let's stay and eat together. You sit down first!"
The two women continued to work, but they kept their ears open and eavesdropped on the conversation between the female police officer and Dahai.
Xu Baining was not polite, and sat down next to Zhang Dahai carelessly like an old familiar customer.
Those round buttocks filled a round stool as thick as a bucket, and even overflowed.
"Zhang Dahai, bring me a glass of water, I'm so thirsty!"
Xu Baining licked her dry mouth and ordered.
"You are not an old woman in your seventies or eighty. The thermos is on the table. Don't you know how to pour it yourself? If you don't drink it, pour it!"
Gulu gulu, Zhang Dahai crossed his legs and took a sip of water pipe.
This water pipe was made by his grandfather back then. Zhang Dahai saw it just now, so he took it over and became addicted to it.
"Oh, I said you have no conscience. I just gave you a bonus, and you treat your benefactor like this?"
Xu Baining rolled her eyes at Zhang Dahai angrily.
[As soon as you enter the house, you give orders to the master, acting like an uncle. Moreover, the biggest profiteer this time is you, not me! ]
I don’t know if it was because of the incompatibility, but as soon as Zhang Dahai saw Xu Baining, he wanted to confront her. It may have something to do with her competitive personality. After all, no man likes to be dominated by a woman.
On the way to look for Zhou Guangren yesterday, the two of them almost bickered.
"You...Zhang Dahai, are you trying to make me angry?"
Xu Baining was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to beat him up.
"Oh my God, Officer Xu is a guest from afar. We should act like landlords!"
Miao Yanhua couldn't stand it anymore and poured Xu Baining a glass of boiled water with a respectful look on her face.
After taking a sip of water, Xu Baining took out the envelope and threw it on the table. It also came with a small notebook.
There was only one page inside, which turned out to be a certificate of award.
Miao Yanhua picked it up, looked at it, and read it out smoothly: Congratulations to Comrade Zhang Dahai for assisting the Guangshi Town Police Station in solving the case. The "Brave Citizen Award" and certificate of honor are hereby awarded.
After Zhang Cuili heard this, she threw the spatula aside. She came over curiously and said with a smile: "Our old Zhang family has won an honor, Dahai, you are really capable."
Zhang Dahai put the envelope in his trouser pocket, but he curled his lips disdainfully at the certificate: "That thing is of no use. What else can it do except throw it into the fire and use it as firewood!"
[What did you say? Try it! ]
Xu Bai Ning stood up suddenly, her beautiful eyes almost bursting with anger.
"What's wrong, Officer Xu, if I burn it, can you still arrest me?"
Zhang Dahai joked.
"You, you, you... you are a disgusting cunning person! You treat your good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs. Let me tell you, if you have this certificate and take it to the police station to apply for a security guard, we will 100% hire you!"
Xu Baining said harshly.
I thought that Zhang Dahai would be surprised after hearing this, but he said indifferently: "It's not rare."
