When Hu Lai told Lu Kun the news that Chen Juncheng was also arrested, he didn't have a big reaction. Maybe he had expected it in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Kun stood in front of the window and looked around the place where he had worked for several years. He felt a little confused for a while. He didn't know how the store would be handled, and it seemed that it would not be open for a few days now. . . . . .

At home in the evening, after dinner, Jiang Ming was biting a cigarette, and was carrying two pieces of his and Lu Kun's clothes for washing. The clothes were sent back from abroad by Yang Ziwen. Ye Ye brought one, but his one was slightly more mature than Jiang Ming Lukun's.

Because it couldn't be washed in a washing machine, Jiang Ming had no choice but to rub it with his hands, and just as Shui Lukun put it away, he walked into the bathroom with a slightly strange expression on his face, as if hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ming asked him with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll wash it for you"

"No, let's go into the house." With bubbles all over his hands, Jiang Ming rubbed the tip of Lu Kun's nose as he spoke.

Lu Kun originally had something to say, but seeing Jiang Ming's clean face, he couldn't say anything.

"Is the unit busy today?"

Jiang Ming rubbed his collar with his hands, and heard Lu Kun asking him to raise his head and think for a while, and said, "It's okay, the team had a small meeting in the morning, and the whole office will hold a video conference in the afternoon."

Lu Kun didn't understand, "What video conference?"

Jiang Ming explained: "That is, after the national or provincial conference, the unit will show us the conference video."

Lu Kun walked behind Jiang Ming and wrapped his arms around his waist, saying, "Is that the one I saw you write on the computer before?"

"...Um"

Lu Kun carelessly rubbed his cheeks twice, and said, "How old are you when you work so that you can retire?"

"Sixty"

Lu Kun smiled, his chest trembled, and said, "At that time, you will be an old man."

Jiang Ming also laughed, "I'm an old man, aren't you?"

"...Yes", a picture of the two of them when they got old suddenly appeared in front of Lu Kun. Will it be the same then as now?

Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders, Lu Kun moved his chin and looked at him, Jiang Ming said, "Hey! I have something to discuss with you."

"What are you discussing? Isn't our family what you say?"

"I think... let Wu Ye spend the New Year with us"

"OK"

Lu Kun agreed very simply. First, this is Jiang Ming's home. Second, since Jiang Ming mentioned it, there must be his reasons. Besides, Lu Kun, Wu Ye, and Yang Ziwen get along well, and being good to them is also to Jiang Ming. Ming is good.

Although Lu Kun didn't ask anything, Jiang Ming still explained, "Wu Ye's parents are remarried, and they also have children. It's inconvenient for Wu Ye to be with them."

"Then let's live together. Later, the two of us will go to the supermarket to buy more food and drink. When Yang Ziwen comes back, the four of us can still play mahjong."

Speaking of mahjong, the first thing Jiang Ming thought of was Uncle Li. Jiang Ming hadn't seen him for a long time, because Uncle Li and Aunt Li would fly to his daughter's house in Hainan every November to avoid the cold, and the grocery store was left to his son. , Uncle Li is not here, there are fewer old men and women playing mahjong.

"I wouldn't play that"

Lu Kun rubbed Jiang Ming's stomach, and said, "Brother Kun, teach you, let's make a secret sign later, and let Wu Ye and Yang Ziwen lose to grandma's house."

"Those two people are as smart as Monkey King"

"Brother Kun is not Zhu Bajie either."

Jiang Ming smiled and said nothing, and Lu Kun asked him again, "Huh? Didn't classmate Xiao Ming come to see you recently?"

Jiang Ming didn't know when Lu Kun gave Mingyue such a nickname, "Student Xiao Ming". . . . . .

"I told her to finish our business and she never came again"

"Yo!" Lu Kun curled up his fingers, patted Jiang Ming's head violently, and said, "You can stand up to me, I'm not afraid that classmate Xiao Ming will speak out."

Jiang Ming looked at Lu Kun in the mirror and said, "Are you happy that she always comes to see me?"

Lu Kun touched the back of his head, "Your colleagues know about that... okay?"

"Anyway, sooner or later you have to know"

After Jiang Ming washed his clothes, Lu Kun chatted with him without saying a word, until it was dark, until the street lights came on, and their home was as warm as the thousands of lights outside.

People are always accustomed to using their own standards to judge the happiness of other people's lives, and sometimes point fingers at other people's lives, but they don't know that it is not easy to live a good life for themselves.

So Jiang Ming and Lu Kun, they may not be the best, but they are the most suitable for each other.

On the second day after the accident, Chen Juncheng's wife, Wang Yajuan, rushed back from Guangzhou. From her expression, it was clear that she knew nothing about Chen Juncheng's drug trafficking.

Lu Kun couldn't see her crying face, so he comforted her: "Sister-in-law, go to the police station to control your emotions in a while, the matter of Brother Cheng has not yet been concluded, so just say what you know, don't hide it, and be lenient to him Handling is good”

Wang Yajuan cried even more when she heard the lenient treatment, and said: "Jun Cheng made a mistake before, but he changed it after he came out, and he promised me and Tingting not to touch that thing again, why is he so confused?! It’s okay to do it by yourself and drag Mao Mao into the water, I really won’t let me live, the whole family is ruined, everything is ruined!”

. . . . . .

Later, Wang Yajuan cried in the store for half an hour before leaving. The police asked how long Lu Kun did not know, but Wang Yajuan did not return to the store that day.

When she came back the next day, she directly mentioned to Lu Kun that she wanted to exchange "Four Seas", and what she meant in her words was that she hoped that Lu Kun could take over the stall, and the money matter was easy to discuss.

Ever since Chen Juncheng was arrested, Lu Kun felt uncomfortable, like the law is one aspect, and human relations are another aspect. Although Chen Juncheng did something illegal, he was Lu Kun's former friend after all. Lu Kun felt that It would be a bit unkind to do that.

"Sister-in-law, let Brother Cheng decide. If he asks me to pick it up, I'll pick it up again. I'll take care of it for you for the time being."

Wang Yajuan wrinkled her gloomy face, looked at Lu Kun, and said, "What? Sister-in-law, isn't it useful to talk? You have to listen to Brother Cheng himself. I've been a housewife all these years, and I'm not good at business. I don't know anything, Tingting's father probably won't be able to get out, what do you want me to do?"

When Lu Kun was about to say something more, Peng Xiaohui suddenly appeared in front of him. This one wife and one concubine really made Lu Kun a little at a loss. Seeing Peng Xiaohui winking at him, Lu Kun immediately said to Wang Yajuan: "Sister-in-law, I am A friend is here, let's discuss what you said."

Lu Kun could probably guess the purpose of Peng Xiaohui's visit, it was nothing more than to block Lu Kun's mouth, so that he would not tell about his relationship with Chen Juncheng, but Lu Kun did not expect her to use such a simple and rude method.

Just throw money at it. . . . . .

Peng Xiaohui took out a pile of money from her bag and put it on Lu Kun's desk, and said, "Lu Kun, although you and Sister Hui don't have a close relationship, you think it's for Brother Cheng and his unborn son's sake. Keep the money, don’t mention me a word with the police, okay?!”

Lu Kun looked at the pile of money, at least one hundred thousand, he smiled lightly, put the money back into Peng Xiaohui's bag, and said, "I don't need to say anything, but the police may not be able to find you."

Seeing that Lu Kun confiscated the money, Peng Xiaohui didn't feel at ease. She said: "If you think the money is too little, you can add it, but I don't have much left. The child will still have a lot of money to ask for in the future. I..."

Lu Kun snatched the conversation and said, "I don't mean that, just take the money and go, if you stay here for a minute longer, you may be discovered by the police."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Peng Xiaohui got up and left, really fast!Xu Shi was really afraid that the police would come to his door. . . . . .

Years ago, Hu Lai invited Lu Kun and Jiang Ming out for a meal together, mainly to invite Lu Kun, his teacher and father, to express his gratitude for the mission he had set himself.

Chen Juncheng's case has come to an end, because everything that should be put down has been put down, and Peng Xiaohui was not implicated. Chen Juncheng killed her without knowing it. Hu Lai and the others did not publish his previous recordings out of protecting Lu Kun, so Peng Xiaohui Just escaped this catastrophe.

It's just that Deng Liqiang was still not caught. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there were no clues even though the arrest warrants were issued all over the country.

The place where the three of them ate was still the small shop where they met for the first time. After drinking for three rounds, Hu Lai seemed to have forgotten what he promised Lu Kun before, and said to Jiang Ming: "Jiang Ming, Lu Kun helped our boss some time ago. Now, my master asked me to invite me to drink today." He looked at Lu Kun again and said, "Brother Kun, drink more, drink well!"

Under the table, Lu Kun kicked Hu Lai hard with his foot, and Hu Lai sneered, still laughing like a fool.

Jiang Ming looked at Lu Kun suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Lu Kun played sloppy and said, "It's nothing, it's a small matter, I'll talk to you when I get home."

"Whose house do you go back to? Do you two live together?"

wipe!

Lu Kun glared at Hu Lai, didn't he drink too much?How can I hear this sentence so clearly?

"My house is due, I'm temporarily staying at Jiang Ming's house"

Hu Lai held the beer bottle with both hands, and said, "Go live at my house, I'm the only one in my house, you live at Jiang Ming's, it's not convenient for the second generation of petty officials to go, right? Jiang Ming"

Jiang Ming rolled the string, squinted his eyes, and said, "Who told you that? It's been so many years, why hasn't the ability to tell lies less?!"

Hu Lai slapped Jiang Ming on the shoulder, and he could tell from the sound that the attack was heavy. He said, "Don't hold it up, it's almost done. Remember to buy me a drink when you get promoted."

Hu Lai really drank too much, his face was flushed, and he couldn't open his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Kun lightly pricked Hu Lai's hand with the iron stick in his hand, and then quickly threw the stick on the table before Hu Lai opened his eyes.

Hu Lai was hurt by the prick and hurriedly took off the hand on Jiang Ming's shoulder, looked around, and became confused again. . . . . .

Jiang Ming and Lu Kun smiled knowingly, and whispered, "It's a bit broken!"

Lu Kun spread his hands, "Who told him to touch you? Give me a warning today, and I will chop you up next time."
