On May 27th, the second team was busy these two days, busy investigating the case of Lie Guoxiao, but Lin Dongxue, who was not in the task force, could get off work normally.
At half past five, Lin Dongxue took her bag and said to everyone who was immersed in work: "I'm leaving first, you remember to eat!"
"Dongxue and Dongxue." Xu Xiaodong chased it out, "Will you do me a favor? My mother bought a broken cabinet from nowhere. She is sitting downstairs now. I won't let her move alone. I said I would come back after work. Today I have to work overtime again."
"I'll go with Lao Chen!"
"Thank you Brother Chen for me and invite you to dinner tomorrow."
"Okay, just a little busy."
Chen Shi was waiting for her outside. The two originally planned to go to dinner after get off work, so they took up this small task temporarily. Chen Shi said: "Help with moving things, did you ask him to be paid?"
"Is it necessary to care about it? It's just a favor. He said he would invite us to dinner tomorrow."
"Well, the grilled fish that I planned to eat tonight, let this kid come and invite it tomorrow." With that, Chen Shi started the car.
Xu Xiaodong’s home, Lin Dongxue, visited once. At that time, Xu Xiaodong’s mother thought she was Xu Xiaodong’s girlfriend, and made some ridiculous misunderstandings. The old lady loved her son very much, and Jane was so spoiled that Xu Xiaodong looked like someone who never grew up in front of her. Like children, Lin Dongxue is very envious of the nourishment of family affection.
On the way, Lin Dongxue said: "My brother really went on a blind date!"
"It looks like you will have a sister-in-law soon."
"I doubt this. Two days ago, he and a blind date were very good in every aspect. The other party also had a good impression of him. He was going to have another appointment. Do you know what he said? He said that I have a good impression of you, but I have to compare it. Wait for my call!" Lin Dongxue made an exaggerated expression, "I didn't say that in the company interview, okay, the girl heard that she was going to be used to'shop around', what should I think? ?"
"Haha, people who don't know your brother can't accept his overly sensible character."
"In layman's terms, this is called lack of emotional intelligence."
"Does he have any interest in others?"
"He told me that although it fits well in all aspects, but to spend a lifetime with her, I always feel a little uninterested." Lin Dongxue took out her phone and opened WeChat, "This is the photo he sent me to see, nurse, He looks pretty good, I didn't expect him to have such a high demand for appearance!"
"I don't think it is a matter of appearance, but genetic attractiveness."
"The so-called genetic attraction is not just looking at the face?"
"It's not just looking at the face, it's a biological instinct. Why do loving couples give birth to children smarter and healthier, because when two people come together, they are driven by this genetic attraction, and their genes can complement each other. Advantages, bred better offspring, this kind of thing, I believe intuition, on the contrary, is more reliable."
Lin Dongxue made an expression of disdain, "You actually interpreted the beautiful love so utilitarianly."
"This is not utilitarian. Love has both perceptual and rational forms of existence. Some people believe in everything that happens, while others believe in big data and probability. Of course, I am the emotional one."
"Is there a genetic attraction between us?"
"Uh, in terms of frequency and quality, I think it is."
"Go to hell, you fellow!" Lin Dongxue laughed and cursed.
The topic returned to Lin Qiupu. Chen Shi said: “Objectively speaking, a policeman and a nurse are all types of busy, highly professional, and closed systems. Personally, I am not very optimistic. If a family is really formed, first of all, both parties It is difficult to have a common language. Secondly, there is too little time to get along with each other. Why doesn't your brother call the police? How well the police and the police work together!"
"Why don't you call the police? As far as the current gender ratio of our second team, unless he is willing to accept same-sex marriage."
When I came to Xu Xiao’s home, I saw an old lady sitting on a bookcase downstairs, fanning her handkerchief. Seeing Lin Dongxue, she immediately became enthusiastic and said, "Ah, Xiaolin is here, what a rare visitor."
Then, seeing Chen Shi who came with him, his smile obviously cooled by dozens of degrees, "This is..."
"Colleague, you can call him Xiao Chen." To save trouble, Lin Dongxue introduced it like this.
"Hello Xiao Chen."
The two people came to help, Xu Xiaodong had already said on the phone beforehand that the cabinet was made of solid wood and was quite heavy. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to get into the elevator, then moved to the house, and put it down under the command of the old lady. Been busy until almost seven o'clock.
"I'm so embarrassed. I asked you to go there specially. You can stay and eat. The ribs I bought today, the stewed winter melon rib soup."
"Auntie, no need, we will go back."
"Xiao Lin, it's been a long time since you've been here. Why don't you have a meal? I think my aunt is not good at craftsmanship!" The old lady took Lin Dongxue's hand.
Under the kindness of the old lady, the two of them couldn’t refuse, so they had to stay for dinner. While the old lady was busy in the kitchen, Chen Shi visited Xu Xiaodong’s room and looked at the various posters, peripherals, and comics in the room. It’s hard to imagine that the owner is a serious criminal.
There was a puppet cat lying lazily on the bed sheet with cartoon characters, licking her feet vigorously, Lin Dongxue shouted: "Huahua!" The cat uttered a "Wow" and ran over to let her rub all kinds of things. It was still rolling on the ground, showing her belly and let Lin Dongxue tickle it.
"You actually remember me!" Lin Dongxue was overjoyed.
"My Xiaodong is just a young child." The old lady came out with the dishes, "Xiaolin, has he made no mistakes lately?"
"No no, he has always been very good."
"Then he didn't do anything dangerous. Last time he told me that he climbed along the water pipe to the second floor and subdued a criminal with a knife. After hearing this, I couldn't sleep all night, this kid. , What should I do if there are three long and two shortcomings!"
Lin Dongxue comforted: "Auntie, that kind of thing happened only once, and our job is to walk around and ask, there is nothing dangerous."
"Oh, I'm afraid he is too brave and hurts himself." The old lady said to Chen Shi again: "This comrade, you don't know, his father left early, and our mother and son depended on each other. He said he wanted to be a policeman. I just supported it. I worried about him out there all day long, but I didn't dare to restrain him too much. After all, I couldn't control him for the rest of my life... By the way, does he have a girlfriend in the work unit?"
The topics were all about Xu Xiaodong. The old lady showed them the photos of Xu Xiaodong when he was young. They were eating and chatting. In a blink of an eye, at 8:30, Xu Xiaodong came in and heard the old lady talking and laughing about his childhood embarrassment. , Xu Xiaodong said loudly: "Mom, don't say anything, how will I behave in the future!"
"You're back, wash your hands and eat quickly." Seeing her son enter the house, the old lady was so happy that the wrinkles around her eyes piled up.
"No, I have eaten takeaway." Xu Xiaodong sat down and picked up an apple.
The old lady snatched it from him, took a fruit knife to peel him, and complained while peeling, "Eating takeaway again!? Is it hygienic? It's all waste oil and additives. Eating too much is bad for the stomach. You are young. At that time, I didn’t know how to cherish it. When I was old, I was sick, but it was too late to regret."
"Mom, don't talk about it, it's annoying." Xu Xiaodong took a bite of the cut apple.
Chen Shi looked at him and smiled, completely like a big boy, as if he was ten years younger as soon as he walked into this door.
