Solstice Secrets

After finishing the notes, the two were sent to the hospital for an examination from the inside out, and it was dark when they got home.

Zhuang Zhou put the plastic bag containing the medicine box on the low cabinet by the door, helped Ling Dongzhi change his shoes, and carefully helped him upstairs to rest.Ling Dongzhi was dumbfounded by his troubles, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm just broken, and I'm not disabled anymore, so I don't need to be so careful. In fact, I don't feel anything right now. It really doesn't hurt."

Zhuang Zhou gave him a sideways look, knowing that he was trying to ease his heart.But an injury is an injury, so how could it not hurt? Zhuangzhou felt even more uncomfortable when he said this.

"Don't be brave in front of me. Lie down for a while, I'll cook." Zhuang Zhou helped him sit down by the bed, "I'll come up and call you when the meal is ready."

Ling Dongzhi was really tired after tossing and tossing so much, and several injured places on his body were in severe pain, so he stopped insisting, pulled off the thin quilt to cover his body, closed his eyes and nodded.

I came back late today, and the cats and dogs at home were all waiting anxiously.Zhuang Zhou went downstairs to feed the cats and dogs, and then began to wash rice and cook.There are ready-made bone soup and cooked beef in the refrigerator, and two fresh vegetables are fried, served with pickles made by Qibo, and a simple dinner is ready.

Ling Dongzhi was still sleeping, and Zhuang Zhou didn't want to wake him up.He remembered that Ling Dongzhi said that when injured or sick, one must stay in bed and rest.Antibodies against disease are produced only in sleep.Thinking of the last time Xiaohui slept from morning to night, he ran to Ling Dongzhi's studio again, took out the stone cups from the drawer, and lightly placed them next to Ling Dongzhi's pillow.He has always felt that it is unscientific to say that certain things can heal animals but are ineffective for humans. From the perspective of cells, there is actually no difference between humans and animals...

Zhuang Zhou covered up the quilt for Ling Dongzhi, and went downstairs lightly.He left food for Ling Dongzhi, filled his stomach first, and then went to the study with his mobile phone.

Looking at the time, two full hours have passed since the accident.

Zhuang Zhou didn't intend to wait any longer.

Ling Dongzhi slept until after ten o'clock in the morning of the next day. He opened his eyes hungry and saw a cup of medicine and pestle piled with water plants and stones beside his pillow, which made him laugh.But the feeling on his body is much more relaxed, and I don't know if these mysterious little things really work.

Zhuang Zhou didn't go to work, he was on the phone in his study, his little assistant Li He was making tea in the kitchen, when he saw Ling Dongzhi wandering in, he came over nervously to help him.

"It's not that serious," Ling Dongzhi probed to look, "Aren't you two going to the company today?"

While frantically heating up breakfast for him, Li He explained: "Boss said that these few days will not pass. The people from the marketing department will send the report later. Oh, by the way, the boss has already invited you. Leave, let you rest at home for a few days."

Ling Dongzhi nodded.

He had just had two mouthfuls of hot porridge when the doorbell rang.Li He hurriedly said, "I'll go and open the door."

Ling Dongzhi saw him like this—although Li He trembled as soon as he entered the dealer's courtyard after being bullied by Brown Tang, but Ling Dongzhi felt that this young man was not in the right state today.Not only nervous, but also a little preoccupied.Ling Dongzhi glanced out through the glass window, and Li He was bringing in a man in a neat suit.The man had a straight face, without any expression, and he didn't know if it was the employee who delivered the report that Li He had just mentioned.

Ling Dongzhi thought for a while, picked up the tea Li He had just brewed and walked quietly towards the study.He actually didn't want to listen to the corner, but this man who just entered the door gave him a very strange feeling... Ling Dongzhi couldn't tell what it was, but some kind of intuition made him feel that this man came It seems not so simple.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the door of the study, he heard a strange man's voice say solemnly: "This is the check that Mr. Xia asked me to send. He is very sorry for what happened last night. I hope Mr. Ling will forgive me a lot. Children are ignorant."

Ling Dongzhi felt that this sentence was inexplicable.If Mr. Xia in this population guessed correctly, it should be the end of Xia, but who is the child?Was it his son who robbed him last night?Or bastard?Ling Dongzhi spit on his incomprehensible thoughts with black lines all over his head. Looking at the end of Xia, he is only in his 30s. How big a son can he give birth to? !

Zhuang Zhou snorted through his nose, "Doesn't your family always think that we are short of money? That's why your legs immediately go limp when they see your check. No matter what stupid things they did, they can just let the past go."

The man said sternly: "Xia always hopes not to hurt the harmony of the two families because of irrelevant people."

Zhuang Zhou sneered, "Irrelevant people? I'm afraid we are different in terms of the definition of irrelevant people. You go back and tell Xia Mo that I am not short of money. Since he must protect that bastard of the Cao family, he must If he wants to slap his own brother in the face for such a dirty thing, then I have nothing to say."

Ling Dongzhi's heart sank suddenly, and just as he was about to go in, he heard Zhuang Zhou slowly say: "You should take the check back. Please tell Xia Mo that today's evening paper will publish a statement that I sever brotherhood with him, and I will use it All the strength of the Zhuang family will investigate this case of buying a murderer and wounding people to the end!"

The upright man in the study was taken aback, and began to persuade Zhuang Zhou by citing scriptures that he must put brotherhood first.

Ling Dongzhi quietly returned to the kitchen with tea in hand.The voices in the study were getting louder and louder, and when they came down from the stairwell, there was a buzzing vibration, and there was a subtle echo effect.The door of the storage room was ajar, and there were rustling sounds from inside, occasionally mixed with one or two delicate calls.

Ling Dongzhi leaned against the kitchen counter, suddenly feeling at a loss.

The biggest expectation he has for Xia Mo is that he will not dangle in front of his eyes, and not interfere with his and Zhuang Zhou's life with nothing to do.But he didn't expect to see their brothers turn against each other one day.In this way, wouldn't he become the troublemaker in the novel who has more than failed to succeed? !

Ling Dongzhi thinks in another way, if Ling Lidong really doesn't like Zhuangzhou, or makes trouble for Zhuangzhou, will he think of breaking up with Ling Lidong?

Do not make jokes.

That's his elder brother who grew up with him... Well, he seems to have grasped the point of the problem.Although Zhuang Zhou and Xia Mo are brothers, they separated when they were very young, unlike his relationship with Ling Lidong, and Ling Lidong would not blackmail anyone with money, family reputation, etc...

When Ling Dongzhi thought about it, he thought about it, and felt that although he and Ling Lidong were not blood brothers, compared with the Zhuang family's blood brothers, they could almost throw them three blocks away.

Sitting in the kitchen thinking about things, Ling Dongzhi's hands were not idle, he dug out a pile of dried mushrooms and dried wild vegetables from the cabinet, and then he belatedly remembered that summer was almost over, but Qingshu hadn't come back yet .It is said that the training was postponed for some reason, and I don't know when it will be postponed.

Ling Dongzhi sighed.

So many things happened just after autumn... No wonder people always talk about eventful autumn, eventful autumn...

At the same time, in the small study in the backyard of the old house of the Zhuang family half a city away, Mr. Zhuang slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, and said to the person opposite the desk without raising his eyebrows: "So, you ran to me early in the morning. You’re not here to care about the injuries of your younger brother and his wife, but to intercede for someone else’s child?”

At the end of Xia, he was blocked by the words of Mr. Zhuang, and his face was a little ugly, "Grandpa, I didn't come to intercede for Cao Minghe. I just came to discuss with you, how can we suppress this matter, this kind of thing There is a lot of trouble, and we don't look good."

"Trouble?" Mr. Zhuang glanced at him with a half-smile, "Who is making trouble?!"

Xia Mo was a little impatient, "Grandpa, Lingdong Solstice has nothing to do with our family, you can do it..."

"It has nothing to do with it?" Mr. Zhuang interrupted him, "You clearly know about his relationship with your brother, but you still think he has nothing to do with our family? That's why you think so? That's why you encouraged your brother to be unable to help him." Qiang's brother-in-law to clean up Ling Dongzhi?"

Xia Mo wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that he meant it, so he changed his mind and said, "I didn't encourage Ming He to do anything. It's their business to have any grievances between the two of them."

"Well said." Mr. Zhuang sneered, "Winter Solstice, a middle school teacher, don't you know what kind of grievances you have with that useless little bastard of the Cao family?"

Xia Mo frowned, and managed to suppress the impatience in his heart, "Grandpa, as I said, I really don't know."

Mr. Zhuang put down the teacup in his hand, with a slightly mocking expression, "They have no grudges. The little bastard of the Cao family did this to please you, and wanted you to help him pay off the gambling debt he owed. At the end of Xia, do you really think I don't know what you do all day long?"

Xia Mo's eyebrows twitched, but she didn't make a sound.He felt that something was wrong, the old man used to call him the boss all the time, clearly acknowledging that he was still the dealer's child, but today he only called him "Xia Mo".

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and gave him a meaningful look, "At the end of Xia, even now, I have to admire the Xia family's ability. I don't know how they raised you, they made you strong, but they didn't IQ. First, I was used as a spear by the Xia family, and they pioneered for them, and went to Binhai City to expand the territory of the Xia family. Then I was used as a spear by the Cao family, and even someone like Cao Minghe can use you as an unlimited withdrawal Mechanism—you are willing to do so. Could it be that our banker's shrewd gene doesn't work in your body at all?"

Mr. Zhuang was very merciless when he said this. Xia Mo's face turned blue and white, and suppressed the anger in his heart to retort: ​​"Minghe will be my brother-in-law in the future. He is not an outsider. I..."

"Ling Dongzhi is your sister-in-law now! Cao Minghe not only beat him, but also your own younger brother!" Mr. Zhuang was very angry at Xia Mo's indiscriminate statement, and his eyes could not help showing disappointment His expression said, "Since you want to recognize the Cao family with all your heart, I can't control you, and I don't bother to care anymore." The old man closed his eyes tiredly and leaned back on the chair, his expression seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, "At the end of Xia, in the future It's okay...don't come back."

"Grandpa?" Xia Mo was taken aback, he didn't expect the old man to say such a thing.

Mr. Zhuang waved his hand, motioning him to stop talking, "I'm old, and I'll get tired after sitting for a while. It's okay, I should take medicine too. Mr. Xia, please go back if you have nothing to do."

Xia Mo panicked, "Grandpa!"

Mr. Zhuang took two steps, turned around and said indifferently: "At the end of Xia, your father may have done something wrong to Xia Xueying. But on the other hand, Xia Xueying is not at fault at all? Besides, as a daughter-in-law, she is a daughter of ours. Have you ever done even a little bit of filial piety in front of your grandma?!"

Xia Mo was about to retort when he saw the old man slam the crutch on the ground, his voice suddenly raised to a harsh level, "Since the birth of the second child, has Xia Xueying taken the initiative to look at him?! Did she take the initiative? Hugged him once?! She abandoned her youngest son and raised her eldest son! From now on, all members of the Xia family are never allowed to step into Binhai again!"
