Li Huan stood at the school gate with a smile on his face. The gentle sunlight shone on his face and body, and his whole body exuded a masculine aura.
Cheng Qiao also ran towards Li Huan with a smile.
"Don't run, be careful with the kids."
Li Huan walked up quickly and grabbed Cheng Qiao's arms.
"Li Huan, I've been accepted. I'll start working after the Chinese New Year. By the way, I'll be teaching third grade, so let Lele come to my class."
Li Huan smiled and nodded, and generously shouted that he would invite Chairman Liu to his home for dinner. He even ran to Liu Yong, grabbed one of his hands and shook it vigorously, expressing his gratitude beyond words.
"President Liu, thank you very much. Come on, let me treat you to a meal. No, it's my husband and I who will treat you to a meal."
Liu Yong didn't know whether to refuse or go. It would be better not to invite him to have dinner in Xiangyang Village, a poor mountain village.
"Well... why don't you come to my place for dinner? My home is not far from here, and my home..."
Liu Yong suddenly couldn't continue. He had just driven Chen Chunhua away this morning, and there must be some of this woman's things in the house. He couldn't let Cheng Qiao in until everything was cleaned up.
Li Huan and Cheng Qiao looked at each other. Zhao Hui had repeatedly told them to find a way to get the person out alone so that they could carry out the next plan.
"Why don't we make another appointment? I have to take my wife to the supply and marketing cooperative today. It's almost the New Year, so we have to buy something."
Liu Yong nodded. Good things are never too late. When Cheng Qiao came to the primary school for class, he would have plenty of time to play hide-and-seek with her. He turned around and got into the car, his face putting on a serious expression again.
Cheng Qiao sat on the back seat of Li Huan's bicycle and came to their house in the county town. Zhao Hui was already waiting in the house. When he saw Cheng Qiao, he ran over excitedly.
You have to know that his father, wife and two children have been out of contact for almost three months, and he no longer has the patience to wait any longer.
"Cheng Qiao, what's the situation?"
"I have successfully become a teacher at the No. 1 Primary School. I will be able to go to work after the Chinese New Year. President Liu will definitely come to see me then."
"I saw the woman named Chen Chunhua leave the house early in the morning. I followed her quietly. Do you know where she went?"
"Where did you go?"
"She went home, and there was no sound of quarreling or fighting in her house."
Seeing the incredible expressions of Li Huan and Zhao Hui, Cheng Qiao was not surprised. She had seen countless families like this in her previous life. The reason they didn't quarrel was simply because their interests were in place.
"I don't know what benefits President Liu promised Wang Tuzi. Otherwise, with Wang Tuzi's personality, Chen Chunhua would have died countless times."
"Cheng Qiao, your mission has been completed. I will live here for the time being. This place has a good geographical location and is relatively remote, so it is convenient for me to do things."
The task was completed. Cheng Qiao looked at Zhao Hui in confusion. She didn't do anything.
Zhao Hui smiled. He originally wanted Cheng Qiao to lure this person out, because there was always someone around this person. Unexpectedly, after seeing Cheng Qiao, this guy impatiently sent the person away, which gave him an opportunity.
"Uncle, I see. Do you have enough money?"
Zhao Hui smiled. Apart from money and this niece he had just met, he had nothing else.
"It's a coincidence. Let's go back first. As for what Uncle needs, we can borrow the ox cart from Uncle Niu and get it done in two trips."
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Apart from delivering supplies to Zhao Hui a few times, Li Huan basically did not go out. Cheng Qiao also stayed at home almost all day, reading the medical books in his hands, and went to Ye Jun if he did not understand something.
"Master, can you help me prepare some drugs that can make people feel irritated or angry?"
Ye Jun looked at Cheng Qiao deeply, and wanted to say that doctors should have medical ethics and not do whatever they want, but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips. Many times, you have morals, but others do not.
"Okay, but everything has its consequences. Think twice before you act."
Cheng Qiao nodded, asked a few more questions, changed a few medical books and left.
The flowers remain the same year after year, but the people are different. Today is the last day of the lunar calendar in 1969. All the members of the Li family are reunited for the reunion dinner this year, and there are two more people, one is Cheng Qiao and the other is Ye Jun.
Li's mother set up a small table in her room, placed a few dishes and a large bowl of white wine on it, then secretly lit a candle and took out a photo of her late husband, preparing to worship him.
"Dad, my eldest son is back this year, and my youngest son has married. His wife is pregnant with a child of the Li family, and Lele is going to school. You can rest assured."
Li Huan held Cheng Qiao's hand. His mother uttered five "le"s in a row. Except for the eldest brother's return, all the others were brought by Cheng Qiao, so Cheng Qiao was the real hero of the family.
"Qiao, are you willing to kowtow to my father?"
Li Huan swore that as long as Cheng Qiao was unwilling, he would firmly stand on Cheng Qiao's side. Cheng Qiao did not answer, but waited for Li's mother and Li Bing to stand up, then pulled Li Huan to kneel down.
Ye Jun sat outside to help watch over the place. If people knew about this kind of worship, there would definitely be trouble. The smoke from the burning paper came out from the gap in the door, but penetrated into Ye Jun's heart.
He suddenly smiled. When he closed his eyes, Cheng Qiao and Li Huan would definitely light candles and burn some paper for themselves.
After the worship was completed, the family finally sat together and enjoyed the joy of their first reunion in many years. Li Bing felt warm in his heart as he ate the dumplings made by his mother.
"Bing'er, that Miao Qing..."
"Mom, don't mention this person on such a good day. It's unlucky."
Mother Li: “…”
Li Huan burst into laughter and was about to speak when he was interrupted by an urgent knock on the door.
Thinking that after the New Year, this woman would lie under him, his heart was elated again. Seeing how happy he was, the secretary's nervous heart also relaxed.
"Qiao, how is it?"
"I got the key to the villa, but I didn't see Chen Chunhua. I don't know where she went."
"He only has eyes for you now. Chen Chunhua means nothing."
Cheng Qiao sighed, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and stole two fish. Everything else in this place was fine except for the few fish.
Zhao Hui had been sitting in the yard, looking outside from time to time. When he saw Li Huan's bicycle coming back, he finally felt relieved.
"Uncle, how can you not go inside in such a cold day?"
"I'm just worried about you guys. Liu Yong is usually smart and capable, but his only shortcoming is his lust. If we want to deal with him, we can only start from here."
"Here, this is the key to the villa. I went in and took a look. The villa has two floors. The first floor is the large living room. The kitchen should be behind the screen in the living room. I didn't go up to the second floor, so I don't know what the layout is like."
