Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xia Qingqing directly put the letter of complaint into the complaint box of the Discipline Inspection Commission. She remembered that the Discipline Inspection Commission would sort the mailbox every day. If nothing unexpected happened, her letter of complaint would be seen by the leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission on the same day.

As for the cash and gold bars in the safe in Director Huang's home, she made them up, but she was sure that there must be a safe in Director Huang's home, right under Director Huang's bed. Only he and his wife knew the password of the safe. Every night before going to bed, the couple would open the safe like Grandet, count their property, and then lock the safe and go to sleep happily.

Mr. Ba ran to Director Huang's house and saw the safe. He also saw the couple busy at night. Director Huang was counting money, and Director Huang's wife was using clean cotton cloth to maintain the gold bars.

The couple lived an extremely frugal life. They only ate meat once a month and were vegetarians most of the time. They had worn the same set of clothes for more than ten years and they were still worn even though they were patched. The director's wife's summer sandals would not be thrown away even if the laces broke. Instead, she would use tongs to heat them until they were red hot so that they could be worn for another three to five years.

Did you mend your sandals like this when you were a kid?

In the eyes of their colleagues and neighbors, the couple are definitely good cadres with incorruptible conduct. If someone told them that Director Huang was corrupt, no one would believe it and would instead curse that person.

"Stupid born!"

After Mr. Ba inquired about the situation at Director Huang's home, he came back and said this.

You make so much money but don't use it, and you live such a hard life, what's the point?

Xia Qingqing also felt that Director Huang and his wife were stupid. Since they had already chosen the path of corruption, they might as well indulge in pleasure above all else. Even if they couldn't live in luxury, they should at least have fine clothes and delicious food. Like Director Huang and his wife, they couldn't even eat meat once a month and lived a life more miserable than ascetic monks. The couple was really seriously ill!

After sending the letter of complaint, Xia Qingqing stopped caring about anything and ran to the gear hobbing machine factory.

It was Sunday again. Xiaoyu and Mengjie were playing together with a few other kids. Shi Tieniu was there too. Although he was an adult, he felt at ease playing with this group of kids and they were having a great time.

Shi Tieniu is actually not very old, only 19 years old, one year younger than Xia Qingqing, but he is tall and strong, like an iron tower.

"Brother Tieniu, bend down a little bit, I can't jump over!"

Meng Jie shouted, and Shi Tieniu obediently bent his waist lower, with his hands almost touching the ground, and his waist bent to 90 degrees.

"Is that okay?"

Shi Tieniu asked loudly.

"Let me try!"

Meng Jie was unsure, so he took a few steps back, took a deep breath and started running. When he ran to Shi Tieniu, he put his hands on Shi Tieniu's back, spread his legs, successfully jumped over and stood steadily.

"Haha, I jumped over!"

After Meng Jie stood firm, it took him several seconds to react. He danced with joy, and Shi Tieniu also laughed foolishly.

Then it was the turn of other children to jump. The stone ox was still bent. One child failed to jump over, so it was his turn to bend over and act as a horse. The children were sweating profusely but were very happy.

Xiaoyu was also playing, and he was very light, able to jump higher than his height, making him the best jumper among the children. It was the first time that Xia Qingqing saw Xiaoyu playing this, and she didn't expect it to be such a big surprise.

Have you played it?

"elder sister!"

When Xiaoyu saw her, he ran over happily. His face was covered in sweat and his hair was wet, but his little face was rosy and he looked much better than in the past few days.

"Sister Qingqing!"

Meng Jie and the others gathered around and called out to him affectionately.

"Let's go to the store and have some orange juice. It's my treat!"

Xia Qingqing took out a two-dollar bill and gave it to Shi Tieniu, asking him to take the children to drink orange juice. A bottle of orange juice was twenty cents, and the children from the factory didn't need to pay a deposit to drink it, and they usually finished it in the store.

"Thank you Sister Qingqing!"

Several children shouted happily, they were thirsty, and Sister Qingqing was so nice.

Meng Jie's five children have now become Xiaoyu's loyal bodyguards. They used to be the bullies in the factory, and other children would have a headache when they saw them. Now that they are protecting Xiaoyu, no one in the factory dares to bully Xiaoyu. Xia Qingqing is willing to spend this little money to coax Meng Jie and the others.

"Sister Qingqing, will you go find my brother later?" Shi Tieniu asked.

"What's up?"

Xia Qingqing nodded. She was indeed going to find Shen Qiubai.

"Please advise my brother. He never takes his medicine on time. I tell him but he won't listen!"

Shi Tieniu became angry as he spoke. He had said it many times, but Shen Qiubai just ignored him. He had confidence in Xia Qingqing, and Sister Qingqing had a special place in Shen Qiubai's heart.

"It's okay if he doesn't take those medicines. I've prescribed other medicines for him that are better than those." Xia Qingqing advised.

"to make!"

Shi Tieniu grinned. He had confidence in Xia Qingqing. Shen Qiubai's condition had improved a lot in the past few days.

Meng Jie and his children urged in front: "Brother Tieniu, hurry up!"

"coming!"

Shi Tieniu and Xia Qingqing waved their hands, ran over to meet Meng Jie and the others, and walked towards the store laughing.

The little fish looked particularly energetic among them. In less than a month, the little guy became lively and lively, just like a gray-toned painting that was painted with bright colors and turned into a bright watercolor painting. It was very beautiful.

Xia Qingqing felt very relieved. She would do her best to protect Xiaoyu, so that he could have simple happiness throughout his life and the smile on his face would always be so bright.

She walked towards the office building and met a few factory employees on the way. They all looked familiar. Xia Qingqing greeted them one by one and picked two crabapple flowers and pinned them in her braids. She was more beautiful than the flowers, and the flowers were also dim.

Shen Qiubai was reviewing documents. When he heard a knock on the door, his heart skipped a beat and he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

It was indeed Xia Qingqing who came in, and he couldn't help but smile.

This girl has a characteristic when knocking on the door. She knocks three times each time, and at three different spots. This makes the sound of each knock different and very easy to hear.

"Director Shen, I've got something good for you!"

Xia Qingqing walked up to him with a smile, put her hands behind her back, and after she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand in front of her, holding a leaf in her palm, on which lay a fat green caterpillar.

Shen Qiubai looked at the caterpillar indifferently, without even raising his eyebrows, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

"That's boring. You're not cooperating at all. You should pretend to be frightened so that you don't spoil the fun!"

Xia Qingqing curled her lips and spoke in a complaining tone.

"So start over again?"

Shen Qiubai asked in a nice voice.

"Forget it, remember this next time!"

Xia Qingqing glared, threw the caterpillar out of the window, clapped her hands, took out a piece of fruit leather from her pocket, tore off the wrapping paper, and asked first: "Do you want to eat it?"

Shen Qiubai shook his head. He felt his teeth sour before he even ate it. He didn't understand why this girl loved to eat fruit leather so much. It was the same in her dreams. She always asked him to bring fruit leather and hawthorn slices when she visited her in prison.

Xia Qingqing moved a chair and sat down, chewing on a piece of fruit leather while asking, "Is your cough better?"
