[Old Paoer] Feibo colleagues - Strangers

Since Zhang Xiaobo and Tan Xiaofei came back from Changsha, news about Tan Junyao has been flying everywhere on TV and radio.

The fall of Tan Junyao was regarded by the media as a typical example of fighting a tiger, and it was widely publicized.He even brought up the matter of him making good use of his power to help Tan Xiaofei settle the hit-and-run case, but he didn't explain the twists and turns in Tan Xiaofei's case at all!The media is like this, they can write whatever they want to sensationalize and shock people, regardless of how many hidden secrets you have in it.It's just that they dare to be so unscrupulous, and it can also explain from the side that the dust of Uncle Tan's case has been settled...

The last time Zhang Xuejun passed away, it took Zhang Xiaobo a long time to finally accept this fact, and there is no lack of Tan Xiaofei's credit for it.This time it was Xiaofei's turn, and Zhang Xiaobo really wanted to do something for him, but Tan Xiaofei didn't show even the slightest emotion on his face from the beginning to the end, as if there was no such thing at all.

At the bar that day, Zhang Xiaobo and Pinball huddled together to watch the news. That was the only way they could learn about the progress of Uncle Tan's case.Just talking about the trial, Tan Xiaofei opened the door and walked in.Zhang Xiaobo was so frightened that the IPAD almost fell, and he couldn't turn it off after shaking it several times.It's just that Tan Xiaofei turned a deaf ear to it, as if the outcome of the trial had nothing to do with him, his face was calm, he did what he had to do, Zhang Xiaobo couldn't comfort him even if he wanted to.

The harsh winter is gradually passing, and the weather in Beijing is starting to warm up.The ice in the lake melted away silently, and the clear water reflected a little bit of gold under the sunlight.The willows on the bank are fresh green, the gray haze in the sky has dissipated, and at a glance, there is a vast expanse of blue.In such a beautiful spring, even the mynah in the corridor seemed to be in a particularly good mood, jumping up and down and shouting twice: "Xiaobo! Xiaobo!"

Zhang Xiaobo fed him with food between his sandwiches, and taught him persistently, "Call me dad! Call me dad!"

Mynah jumped up and down twice, fluttering its wings like a saw-mouthed gourd again.

"Hey! How stupid!" Zhang Xiaobo shook his head helplessly.

"Xiaobo, why is it so early today?" Aunt Zhang bumped into Zhang Xiaobo as soon as she came back from shopping for groceries, "You look so handsome, where are you going?" It's basically three or four o'clock at night at home, so they won't wake up until they sleep until the sun rises during the day.So when Aunt Zhang came in and saw Zhang Xiaobo standing in the yard, she was very surprised.

In addition, Zhang Xiaobo did dress up well today, wearing a decent black suit and a navy blue tie, and even the little maroon curly hair on his head was shaved with pomade, revealing his smooth forehead.A pair of beautiful big eyes are not covered by bangs, and they look even more radiant, making people's eyes bright.

"I'm going out to do something later!" Zhang Xiaobo smiled and nodded at her.

"Where's Xiao Fei?" Aunt Zhang asked curiously, the two children usually looked like conjoined twins, but today they only saw Xiaobo.

"He's still asleep!" Zhang Xiaobo glanced at the closed door, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, please save some food for him at noon! I won't be back all day today."

"It's a matter of one word." Aunt Zhang readily agreed.

At this time Hou Xiaojie hurried in from outside the courtyard, and was rarely recognized in formal attire. Aunt Zhang almost didn't recognize her.Hou Xiaojie was impatient, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he yelled at Zhang Xiaobo, "Xiaobo, it's almost time, let's go! Otherwise, we'll have to wait in line at the bank!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xiaobo put down the mynah's food in his hand, and walked out with Hou Xiaojie shoulder to shoulder.

Hou Xiaojie asked as he walked, "Xiaobo, Sister Yin and I had a life-and-death quarrel with our family, so at least we managed to collect 30 yuan for you! How much did you collect?"

Zhang Xiaobo clicked his tongue: "I even took out the money from the cash register in the bar, so I can probably scrape together a small hundred thousand."

"If no one wants to snatch it from us, it should be enough, right?" Hou Xiaojie scratched his head, "Anyway, I've said something, whoever dares to snatch it, I, Hou Xiaojie, will be the first to let him go!"

The two of them chattered as they walked out. Aunt Zhang looked at the backs of the two of them, but she was secretly startled. What kind of things do children do outside now?Think about how Zhang Xuejun was worried about 10 yuan in order to save Xiaobo, but now they don't even think about [-] yuan.

Tan Xiaofei was half asleep, half asleep, and dazedly stretched out his hand and hooked it to his side, wanting to hug Zhang Xiaobo into his arms.This was a habit he developed after the two lived together. Every day before he opened his eyes, he would hug Zhang Xiaobo and smack his face before it started.But he didn't expect to feel empty today, he squinted his eyes and looked to the side, the bed was empty.

"Xiaobo..." Tan Xiaofei stood up and sat up, shouted hoarsely, the room was silent, no one answered.He had no choice but to throw off the quilt, walked around the house in slippers without changing his clothes, and found no one at home, so he was sure that Zhang Xiaobo had really gone out.

Tan Xiaofei took the mouthwash cup to the yard to brush his teeth, while Aunt Zhang was sitting in the yard washing the sheets.Seeing Tan Xiaofei getting up, she smiled and said, "Xiaofei, are you awake? Auntie has left food for you, remember to go to my room to eat after brushing your teeth later!"

"Thank you, auntie." Tan Xiaofei responded, and just as he was about to drink water with the cup, he saw Aunt Zhang struggling to twist the bed sheet.

Tan Xiaofei stopped brushing his teeth, put down his cup and walked over: "Let me help you!"

"Okay! Thank you!" Aunt Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead, handed him one end of the bed sheet, and then carried the other end by herself.The two people turned one to the left and the other to the right, and twisted vigorously, the bed sheet was instantly twisted into a hemp rope, and the water was squeezed out with a splash.

Then Tan Xiaofei took the sheet silently and threw it on the drying rack.He has long hands and long feet, and Tan Xiaofei can do things that Aunt Zhang is quite strenuous for a woman to do without any effort.

Aunt Zhang looked at the back of him helping her to dry the bed sheets, and said with a smile: "You kid, you didn't smile much when you first came here, and you looked fierce. In fact, you have been in touch for a long time, and you are quite a nice person. He's a kind kid."

Tan Xiaofei was a little embarrassed, but still pursed his lips and did not speak.

Aunt Zhang then sighed: "Oh, you don't even know! Recently there's been some news on TV, saying that there was a man named Tan Xiaofei who killed someone by driving a car. Now that's all right, the neighbors will come to ask, so I will talk to you. They are definitely not talking about you. Let me tell you, Ren Xiaofei is doing well! It must be the same name and surname!" After speaking, he looked at Tan Xiaofei's reaction.

The neighbors in the alley looked up and down, especially Aunt Zhang and the other middle-aged women, who were free to do anything. Naturally, the gossip of Zhang's parents and the Li family was not malicious.Tan Junyao's case was full of uproar, even though Tan Xiaofei's name only flashed behind him, how many times can these ordinary people see people they know on the news?Coupled with Tan Xiaofei's outstanding looks, he naturally became the focus of the three aunts and six women in the alley after dinner.

Tan Xiaofei gently patted the folds on the bed sheet, and then said softly after a while: "It's not the same name and surname, that person is me..."

Aunt Zhang was taken aback, she didn't expect Tan Xiaofei to admit it so readily, and asked cautiously, trying to cover up: "Then...is it really you?"

Tan Xiaofei nodded: "I went back to Changsha some time ago, just for this case."

Aunt Zhang had nothing to say now, she stammered and said, "It's okay, it's okay...it's over, as long as you know your mistakes, you can correct them!" .On the contrary, Aunt Zhang felt a little sorry for seeing Tan Xiaofei's lack of reaction.

She rolled her eyes, and then she seemed to think of something, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I see why Xiaobo seems to have borrowed money from someone today?"

Tan Xiaofei paused and turned towards Aunt Zhang.

"That's... that guy who wears glasses, the guy who is with you every day, he seems to be called... Hou or something."

Tan Xiaofei's two dark thick eyebrows were twisted together, obviously he didn't know about it either.

Aunt Zhang looked at it, patted her thigh and yelled: "Xiao Fei, it's not my aunt who said it. When Xiaobo comes back, you have to ask carefully, don't get into any trouble again! Last time, the son of the old Chen family in the east, He became addicted to gambling, lost hundreds of thousands in his family, and was chased by loan sharks every day!"

Xiao Fei shook his head: "Xiaobo won't." After speaking, he turned around and went back to the room to find the phone number, and then called Zhang Xiaobo.

A mechanical and cold female voice on the other end of the phone said: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily out of service or has been turned off, please try again later."

Tan Xiaofei walked around the room twice, still worried, picked up his coat and rushed out the door.When Aunt Zhang came out with a hot lunch, she saw the back of him who had just jumped out the door, and she shouted anxiously: "Xiao Fei, are you not eating?"

"Don't eat!"

Tan Xiaofei walked all the way to the bar, and called Yin Yin and Hou Xiaojie on the way.But they seemed to have made an appointment, and none of them answered the phone.

The Juyi Hall is just across an alley from Zhang Xiaobo's courtyard house. As soon as Tan Xiaofei turned around, he saw Pinball sitting at the door of the bar smoking a cigarette.

"Brother Fei!" Pinball saw him, stood up immediately, threw the cigarette to the corner, pretending to be nonchalant, "Why are you here?"

"Where's Xiaobo?"

"Xiaobo?!" Painball sneered, "You don't even know, where would I know?"

Tan Xiaofei frowned and turned to leave, but was grabbed by the pinball: "Brother Fei, it's just right, come and see with me!"

Tan Xiaofei followed the pinball into the bar suspiciously, the pinball pulled him to the bar counter, and opened the empty cash register inside: "Look, look! I didn't even leave a steel coin for me! It's crazy!"

Tan Xiaofei pursed his lips and didn't speak. What was it that made him not let go of these odds and ends?

Pinball leaned over and raised his eyebrows and asked mischievously, "Did Xiaobo row someone's car again? Why do you think you owe me so much?"

Tan Xiaofei frowned, and raised his hand to beat him.Pinball knew it was not good, and slipped faster than loach, shouting while running: "Yaoshou! The bastard boss of Juyi Hall, Zhang Xiaobo, ate, drank and gambled, owed 3.5 million, and ran away with his sister-in-law! "

Tan Xiaofei was helpless and didn't bother to argue with him.He took out his phone, thought for a while and sent Zhang Xiaobo a message: "Xiaobo, is something wrong with you? Don't hide anything from me!"

After a while, his phone beeped, and Zhang Xiaobo texted back: "It's all right, I'll be back tonight!"
