Crossing town house man and wife

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, which was the second day after the merchant ghosts came, and the afternoon before New Year's Eve, Yan Heng and Yao Zhong went out to buy new year's goods after lunch.

This time, Yan Heng didn't borrow a car from the housekeeping service company, called Yao Zhong, and took a taxi to the city.

According to Wu Ming, just order a table of New Year’s Eve dinner directly from the hotel and it’s over, but Yan Heng feels that Chinese New Year still has to look like Chinese New Year. You can order New Year’s Eve dinner from the hotel, but you still have to buy firecrackers, fireworks and other New Year’s items by yourself Come feel more at ease.Besides, there are four people living in the villa now—after the arrival of Shang Gui, Yao Zhong who was originally staying in the hotel also moved back, so it’s not easy to order takeaway for three meals a day, at least you have to prepare breakfast yourself—come here In the second month on the sidelines, Yan Heng had no choice but to learn how to make breakfast; after living outside for a year, Yan Heng was able to go to a restaurant to apply for a chef.

Shang Gui liked Yan Heng's idea, and then made a list, doubling what Yan Heng wanted to buy.

Yan Heng slandered a few words in his heart, but he bought the things obediently.

But just as he and Yao Zhong returned to the villa area after shopping and were opening the door with the key, footsteps suddenly came from behind, obviously someone was approaching them.

Yan Heng and Yao Zhong turned around at the same time.

The visitors were an old man and a young man, to be exact, a man in his 50s and a young man in his 20s.Both of them are dressed in a suit and a woolen coat. The older one is relatively richer, but his back is straight, his steps are strong, and he has more grace than the young man behind him-in Wu Ming's words, You can tell at a glance that it is within the system.

The old man was empty-handed, but the young man was carrying a fruit basket and a gift bag, looking like he was visiting relatives.

But these two people were obviously walking in the direction of Yan Heng and the others, and neither Yan Heng, Yao Zhong outside nor Shang Gui and Wu Ming inside had any such creatures as relatives.The waists of the two were still slightly bulging, and Yan Heng took a look and determined that they were wearing a guy, and it was the kind of belt that was not afraid of being discovered by others.

police?

Yan Heng guessed in his heart, and his face showed a normal alertness and suspicion.

Today is not the age of not closing doors at night and not picking up things on the road. Children know the truth not to talk to strangers, let alone mature adults?

Yan Heng watched the two people come in front of him, waiting for them to express their intentions.

"Happy New Year, both of you." The old man smiled and paid homage to Yan Heng and Yao Zhong, "May I ask, does Mr. Shang Gui Shang live here?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Heng's heart loosened and tightened unconsciously.

They didn't come for him, which made Yan Heng heave a sigh of relief.But Shang Gui is neither a star nor a celebrity, how do these people know about Shang Gui's existence, and come to him on the third day after Shang Gui's return?

Yan Heng sized up the old man again, but did not rush to deny it, and said indifferently: "The two of you are..."

The old man smiled, reached out and took out a dark green ID from his suit pocket, and handed it to Yan Heng.

When Yan Heng received it, he found the words "National Security Council" printed on it. He opened it and found that there was a photo of the old man on it, and in the title column it said "Leader of the Third Team of the Special Operations Division".

Without waiting for Yan Heng to ask, the old man continued with a smile: "Isn't it the New Year? The organization has prepared some New Year's goods for Mr. Shang. I am old and not talented. I got this job. By the way, I will bring the junior over to pay Mr. Shang an early New Year's greetings." .”

How did you know that the merchant ghost is here?

Yan Heng was curious in his heart, but he must not ask such words that compromised his aura, so he had to hand back the certificate to the old man, and then turned to open the door.

"Please come in." Yan Heng did not refuse the old and the young.

Maybe it was because of the sound of the door, or maybe it was because of the detection of the arrival of the unexpected guest by the divine sense. Just as Yan Heng invited the old and the young into the living room, Wu Ming walked down the circular staircase in his unlined clothes and slippers.

The moment he saw Wu Ming, the young man's face showed obvious astonishment, while the old man's face flashed a trace of surprise.

"Have you bought the ice cream?" Wu Ming asked Yan Heng without even looking at the old man and the young man.

"Eat now?" It's winter now, even if there is heating in the room, it's not so hot that you need to eat cold drinks to cool off, right?

The corners of Yan Heng's mouth twitched slightly, but he still took out a box of chocolate-flavored ice cream from the plastic bag he was carrying and handed it over. Then he handed all the plastic bags in his hand to Yao Zhong, and asked him to send them to the kitchen.

Wu Ming took the cold drink, opened the package of the cold drink, turned his head to look at the old man, and soon set his eyes on the fruit basket and gift bag carried by the young man, raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this mean, to send warmth to your door?"

"Yes." The old man smiled and said calmly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that Mr. Wu was here, otherwise, the annual ceremony would have been prepared twice—won't Mr. Xia be there?"

"You have good eyesight." Wu Ming dug a mouthful of ice cream into his mouth, swallowed it with a relaxed expression, and then continued, "I haven't seen you for a while, and you have become a bureaucrat, can't it be because of this?" Eyesight?."

"The ancestors taught that you should not judge people by their appearance." The old man on the side replied with a pun, "I didn't expect Mr. Wu to still remember me. I am really flattered."

"Who told you to be Wu's Xiaowu, also called Wu Wu, since you are from the same family, and your name is so special." Wu Ming directly called out the old man's name, "Speaking of which, how did you pass the political review? Your father was also arrested. Have you ever been rehabilitated?"

"My father didn't turn his back on me, so why come to rehabilitate me." Wu Wu smiled softly, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Mr. Wu for his generous help. If you hadn't saved our family, my father would really have been jailed. Hat, wait for someone to 'level'."

"No need. I've already received the due reward, and your family doesn't owe me anything, so don't try to get close to me with this matter." Wu Ming snorted coldly, and said while digging the ice cream, "Don't Nonsense, keep the New Year's goods, and take away the warmth inside."

The young man who came with Wu Wu immediately showed a little surprise, but Wu Wu's smile remained the same, he just reached out and took the fruit basket in the young man's hand, took out the fruits one by one, and placed them all on the table next to him , leaving only a bunch of bananas in the basket.

"Isn't it because I didn't know you were here? If I knew, I wouldn't dare to let them try their luck by stuffing things indiscriminately." Wu Wu said pointedly, then returned the fruit basket to the young man, and took it from the young man's hands. After taking the gift bag, he tore it open, took out four small boxes from inside, placed [-] million on the table, and opened the lids of the boxes completely.

There are four herbs in the box, namely ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum and Cordyceps sinensis, all of which look quite old.

"I'll take the rest back, please don't take offense, Mr. Wu." Wu Wu said sincerely.

These things on the table are all "clean", and the rest either contain bugs or the things themselves are not authentic enough.

"You're smart." Wu Ming had already checked with his spiritual sense. Seeing that Wu Wu was a bachelor, he inserted a plastic spoon into the ice cream, freed up one hand, and pulled out a jadeite jade the size of an index finger from his shirt pocket. Throw the flute into Wu Wu's hands, "Little thing, let the junior you brought play with it."

The flute is inlaid with gold and jade, small and delicate, the material alone is worth a lot, and a person like Wu Ming would not carry a purely decorative object with him, Wu Wu decided that this thing was far away after playing for a while. It is more valuable than it looks, even has a price but no market.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu." Wu Wu stuffed the flute into the inner pocket of the young man's suit.

It's not that the young man didn't want to reach out to pick it up. The main reason is that he is holding the fruit basket in one hand and the gift box in the other. He really can't spare his hands, so he can only lower his head and bow, "Thank you, Mr. Wu."

"If you really have that heart, don't bother me in the future." Wu Ming waved his hand and picked up the scoop in the ice cream again, "Leave as soon as you're done, don't be an eyesore here."

"Excuse me." Wu Wu immediately bowed to Wu Ming, and then dragged the young man with an inexplicable face to leave.

As soon as he got out of the villa, the young man couldn't help asking: "Fifth Uncle, didn't we come to see that Shang surname? Why didn't anyone see you..."

"Shut up." Wu Wu put away the smile on his face before, and reprimanded him coldly, "What did I warn you about before I came here, have you forgotten it?"

"Can……"

"Remind you again, the first thing you need to learn when working in my department is to be a grandson, and a good grandson." Wu Wu said word by word while speeding up his pace, "Anyone who deals with us is a thousand-year-old grandson." If you can call them grandpa after a hundred years of practice, you are the one who earns money. For example, as long as you tell the jade flute that it flowed from Mr. Wu's hand, even if you offer a sky-high price, someone will definitely be willing to do whatever it takes to buy it."

While talking, the two had already walked to another house about 100 meters behind Yan Heng's villa.

Wu Wu stopped, raised his hand and pressed on the tie clip, turned off the camera hidden inside, and then said in a low voice: "I just said that Mr. Wu has a great kindness to our Wu family. It is not an exaggeration. Set things right in those years. Well, our old man—my father, your great-grandfather—was involved in a case. The people involved in the case paid a lot of money to buy our family's life. Our old man asked for help everywhere but hit a wall. In the end, he had to die as a living horse doctor , sent a letter to Mr. Wu. During the War of Liberation, the old man served as an orderly by Mr. Wu's side for a year. It is not a close relationship, but the comrades and colleagues who have worked with the old man are not When we extended a helping hand, only Mr. Wu, who was not close to us, stood up and helped us deal with our enemies and save our lives."

"How did you settle it?" the young man couldn't help asking.

"The enemy no longer exists, and the hatred will naturally disappear." Wu Wu said meaningfully.

The young man was slightly taken aback, then opened his mouth wide in a sudden realization.

"After that, although our old man was dismissed from his post, he finally saved his life, and this will give him a chance to make a comeback later. However, Mr. Wu was removed from the organization because of this incident and became a wanted criminal on the blacklist. You know, he was originally a big priest who enjoyed state subsidies like those in Zhongnanshan and Shaolin Temple." Wu Wuman said with emotion, "Until our old man came back later, the previous relationship was picked up again. , That's why I asked someone to remove Mr. Wu from the blacklist, so that the matter can be left alone."

"Then he can still live till now, isn't that amazing?" the young man exclaimed.

Wu Wu shook his head, "The reason why Sun Houzi was able to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures after so many disturbances in the Heavenly Palace is not only due to his ability."
