Be in low spirits

"Don't be embarrassed. Your mother and I have discussed this matter. When the time comes, you don't have to worry about the child. Your mother and I will take turns to take care of the child. They also plan to buy a house here, in your community, so it will be convenient when the time comes." Kong's mother also looks forward to her retirement, when she can play with the child when she has time, and travel with her mother-in-law.

"No, Mom, did you buy a house here?" Li Li asked his mother. After hearing this, Kong Zhixi also looked up at her.

"No, let's wait until you and your wife feel better before making any plans." There was no sign of any problem on her face.

"Why do you want to buy a house?" Kong Zhixi looked at Li Li's mother, then at Li Li.

"Oh, that's it..." Li Li's mother was about to explain to her, but Li Li quickly stopped her and said, "Ahem, no, nothing, so what, what about the family business?"

Li Li's mother walked to the bedside and said, "Well, it's not like you won't go back. Besides, your father is here too. You can just take turns."

Kong's mother also sat in front of her daughter and wanted to ask her daughter about her plans. Just as she opened her mouth, Li Li interrupted her and said, "Mom, the millet porridge is good, do you have any more?" He pointed here and there anxiously.

Kong's mother glanced at the lunch box and said, "Isn't there more food here? Haha, just feed him some."

Kong Zhixi had no choice but to wipe her mouth and pour him a bowl of porridge.

On the eve of discharge, Li Li's mother took Kong Zhixi and said, "Xixi, this is it, Li Li has to go home after he is discharged? It's not convenient for me and his father to stay in a hotel, he has two rooms, I plan to live there with his father for a while, and find a caregiver, what do you think?"

"I have no objection, you can arrange it." Kong Zhixi felt that this matter didn't seem to have much to do with her, so there was no need to ask her.

After Li Li was discharged from the hospital, she also returned to work at the institute. The director called her to his office and asked, "You didn't tell me your father was Lao Kong?"

"You didn't see it yourself during the political review, so why are you blaming me? And you know it now." She lowered her head and didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that her leader would misunderstand and think that she was trying to use these connections to get in through the back door.

"Not only do I know that your father is Lao Kong, I also know that you have a husband who is a detachment captain! Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?" The director still looked very angry.

She still didn't dare to look up, "Nothing... nothing."

"Nothing else, right?" The director emphasized, "You've become more capable. I've been a police officer for decades, and I've been deceived by a little girl like you for so long. You feel quite accomplished!"

"No...no, I didn't mean that." She lowered her head and pouted secretly, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud.

"Write a self-criticism." The director threw his notebook on the table, shook his hand and asked her to leave.

"No...why?" Her voice became lower and lower.

There were only two of them in the office. The director got even angrier after hearing this: "What do you think? Asking you to write a self-criticism is already a bargain for you. Why do you still think I should write it for you?"

"No." After hearing this, Kong Zhixi did not dare to refute further and could only agree.

"Sister Kong, long time no see. How are you? Have you recovered?" The girl in charge of household registration also came to join in the fun. She stopped holding the pen, glanced at her, picked up the intercom on the table, put it behind her, and said to the auxiliary police behind her: "Is it time to go out on duty?"

"Sister Kong, the director said you have to stay in the station today and not go to work. Also, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you have to go to the hospital after work." Assistant police officer Xiao Zhang said.

This old director asked her to write a self-criticism and she thought he didn't care about nepotism at all, but it turned out that he had arranged it here.

When she got off work that night, she had only written more than 200 words in her self-criticism. The director saw that she was still here after 6 o'clock, so he held up a kettle and asked, "Xiao Kong, why are you still here?"

She rolled her eyes and replied, "Write a self-criticism."

"Oh my god, that little dog in the institute can type more words than you if he sits here all day." The director stood behind her, glanced at the self-criticism she wrote, and complained. "Write it tomorrow, don't you still have to go to the hospital?"

"I'll go after I finish writing." She didn't really want to go because she didn't know what she could do there. Watch him recover? She wasn't a doctor, so she couldn't help.

"Okay, if you're really diligent you wouldn't sit for a whole day just to write a few words. Go back quickly, or I'll be complained about."

Although what she said was unpleasant, it was true. If she was really a diligent person, she wouldn't have written so little. If she continued to sit like this, she probably wouldn't be able to write anything.

"Thank you, Mr. Fei." He reluctantly packed his things and went to the hospital.

Li Li was in the hospital for rehabilitation. She was going to drive to pick him up. Standing at the door of the rehabilitation room, he was still holding the railing and walking. It was obvious that he wanted to recover as soon as possible. His face was covered with sweat and his clothes were half wet. Li Li walked up to her, fell into her arms, hugged her and said, "I'm here. You've worked hard today."

Since he woke up, Kong Zhixi always wondered if he had forgotten something, otherwise how could he be so affectionate? "Go home." She had gotten used to his inexplicable attitude. As her father said, you have to act to the end.

She started the car, thinking that after sending him back, she could go home and have a good meal. "Let's go to Wuting Mountain first." Li Li suddenly said.

"Wuting Mountain? To meet Uncle Qi and Uncle Jiang?"

Li Li nodded, she glanced at her watch, and set off for Wuting Mountain. It was getting darker, more people were going down the mountain than going up, he held her shoulders and climbed to the pavilion halfway up the mountain, where he met Uncle Qi and Uncle Jiang.

Kong Zhixi collapsed on the stone bench and complained: "Can't we go to another place next time? We have to stay here halfway up the mountain, tired and hungry."

The three men smiled at each other, and Li Li said, "You should also exercise."

"Xiao Li, the matter of Changshi is basically settled, but Accountant Tian has not been found yet. No one knows whether he is alive or dead." Qi Bo started to talk about business. Kong Zhixi felt that she was a little redundant here, and it was not appropriate for her to listen to their chat. "How about I go find something to eat first, and you guys chat."

"You don't have to. You still have to ensure his safety." Uncle Jiang stopped her. She had no choice but to nod and sit down again. "Well, I'm already looking for it. I believe I'll find it soon. Is there any clue about the explosion that day?"

Qi Bo sighed, "Fu Yan may have rebelled."

"what?"

"There has been no news about him since the explosion. This is your main task from now on, to find him."

Li Li hesitated for a while, then nodded. When they were going down the mountain, Kong Zhixi asked him, "The name Fu Yan sounds familiar. Have I seen him before?"

"Ah."

"I have no impression of that."

When they arrived at Li Li's house, she wanted to say that she had to go back to the station to be on duty, but she was dragged by Li Li's parents to have dinner with them. She was hungry in the beginning, and thought that she had to eat anyway, and it would not be too late to talk about it after she had eaten, so she sat down to eat.

"Xixi, I have cleaned up your room. I have washed your clothes and put them in the closet in the master bedroom. I have also changed the quilt covers and sheets. The nurse will come tomorrow, so you don't have to work too hard." Mother Li felt very happy.

"Master bedroom?" She had rarely stayed here before, but now she was going to live in the master bedroom. "Yes, the master bedroom is bigger. You guys live in the master bedroom and we live in the second bedroom."

Seeing that Li Li didn't respond, she could only say, "I still have to be on duty, so I can't stay here tonight."

"I called Fei during the day, and he said you weren't scheduled to be on duty today." Li Li casually refuted her. "Huh?" She hadn't thought that he also wanted to keep her.

"Are you not used to living here?" Li Li asked her innocently. She smiled and ate her meal awkwardly. After finishing the meal, the two old people took the garbage and said they were going downstairs for a walk. After they left the house, Kong Zhixi asked him, "I want to go home and live here. I can't live here."

"My parents are here, do you think it's inconvenient?" Li Li pulled her to sit on the sofa and wanted to put his arm around her waist. She deliberately moved her butt, feeling that the distance between them was too ambiguous.

"No, I mean it's not good for me to live here." She suddenly felt that it was even more difficult to explain.

Li Li said as if it was a matter of course: "But we are husband and wife. Wouldn't it be more strange if we didn't live together? And didn't Uncle Qi and Uncle Jiang ask you to protect my safety?"
