Chapter 416 Good luck!
Chapter 416 Good luck!
When Jia Dongming rode his bike towards Tongluoguxiang, Ye Zhigang walked back to the gate of his compound with a dejected look on his face. At this time, a neighbor in the front yard saw Ye Zhigang standing at the door and showed a surprised expression on his face. He hurriedly asked Ye Zhigang: "Old Ye! Where did you go yesterday? Your wife was looking for you for a whole day."
Although they were all neighbors living in the same compound, Ye Zhigang knew clearly that his behavior of going to the black market was an act of speculation. In this case, Ye Zhigang naturally did not want others to know that he was caught for going to the black market.
When Ye Zhigang heard his neighbor's question and thought of what happened last night, an unnatural expression appeared on his face. He answered, "Lao Shen! Last night I went to a co-worker's house to drink. I drank too much and went to sleep there. In the morning I went straight from there to work at the factory."
At this time, Ye Zhigang didn't know that because of Ye Tian's loud shout in the morning, all the neighbors in the yard knew that Ye Zhigang was arrested for going to the black market.
After hearing Ye Zhigang's explanation and seeing Ye Zhigang's somewhat guilty expression, Old Shen did not intend to expose Ye Zhigang's lies. He smiled and said to Ye Zhigang, "Old Ye! I guess your wife must be waiting for you to come back home. Let's talk about it later when we have time."
When Ye Zhigang heard what Old Shen said, he didn't think much about it. He nodded subconsciously and walked towards the yard with Old Shen.
Ye Zhigang walked into the front yard. Ye Tian, who was playing in the yard, was overjoyed when he saw Ye Zhigang coming back. He ran towards his home quickly, shouting in the direction of his home: "Mom! Sister! My dad is back."
Ye's mother, who was waiting for Ye Zhigang to come back, heard her son's call and quickly stood up from her chair. She walked quickly to the door of her house and saw Ye Zhigang's dejected face. She cried to him with tears in her eyes, "Boss! You are finally back."
Ye Zhigang heard her mother's cry, saw her tearful eyes, and thought of what happened last night. He asked her mother with lingering fear: "Wife! Is dinner ready? I'm a little hungry."
When Ye's mother heard Ye Zhigang's question, she immediately wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeves, nodded and replied: "Boss! Wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon."
Ye Xiu, who was in the house, heard the noise outside and walked out. Seeing her father sitting at the table, she shouted to Ye Zhigang with a choked voice, "Dad! You are finally back."
Ye Zhigang heard Ye Xiu's cry and saw Ye Xiu, who was thin and haggard. He said to Ye Xiu with a guilty look on his face, "Xiu'er! Dad is useless. I wanted to go to the black market to buy some meat to nourish you, but I didn't buy any meat. Instead, I made you and your mother worry about me."
When Ye Xiu heard Ye Zhigang's answer, he thought that his father was able to return safely this time, all because of Lin Qiuyue, and immediately reminded Ye Zhigang: "Dad! You were able to return safely this time, but it was all thanks to Sister Qiuyue. If Sister Qiuyue hadn't called her boyfriend, you would have been handed over to the factory by the police."
Among those arrested today, one was Ye Zhigang’s co-worker. When that co-worker left the detention room at noon, Ye Zhigang was still wondering in his heart why that co-worker was able to go out early while he had to continue to be locked up there?
After hearing what Ye Xiu had introduced, Ye Zhigang realized that his co-worker was not released but was taken back by the factory's security department.
Thinking of the factory's punishment, Ye Zhigang secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and said to Ye Xiu with gratitude: "Xiu'er! You are right. When Qiuyue comes back, we really have to thank her." When Ye Xiu learned of Ye Zhigang's thoughts, he immediately remembered Lin Qiuyue's special instructions, and hurriedly asked Ye Zhigang: "Dad! Speaking of it, our family is lucky. Sister Qiuyue's man happens to be the person in charge of the black market raid. Otherwise, you would be taken back by the factory security department like the others."
"Considering that there were many people arrested at the time, one of whom was from your factory, Sister Qiuyue specifically instructed that if anyone asked about you, you should say that you did not go to the black market and were mistakenly arrested by the police. The police later released you after they discovered that it was a mistake."
When Ye Zhigang heard Ye Xiu's instructions, he immediately understood Lin Qiuyue's thoughts and quickly said to Ye Xiu, "Xiu'er! Don't worry, Dad will definitely not do such a thing as repaying kindness with enmity."
Jia Dongming rode his bicycle back to the entrance of the courtyard. He parked his bicycle and walked into the front yard carrying his briefcase. When the gatekeeper Yan Bugui saw Jia Dongming walking back, he showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Director Jia! Where is your bicycle?"
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's question and saw Yan Bugui's surprised expression, he smiled and replied, "Teacher Yan! I have to go out later, and my bicycle is parked outside the door."
Jia Dongming greeted Yan Bugui and without waiting for Yan Bugui to speak, he walked quickly towards the Chuihua Gate.
"Dongming! Why didn't you come back by bike today?" Jia Zhang, who was sitting in the pavilion mending shoe soles, saw Jia Dongming walking into the courtyard and asked him curiously.
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he smiled and replied, "Mom! I had something to do in the evening, so I didn't have dinner at home. I came back to say hello to my family first."
"Uncle! Uncle! You're finally back. Xiaodang missed you so much." Xiaodang, who was playing games with Qin Jingru in the old house, heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and Jia Zhang. He left Qin Jingru behind, ran out of the old house with his short legs, and called to Jia Dongming in a baby voice.
When Jia Dongming heard Xiaodang's cry, he instinctively bent down and picked up Xiaodang who ran to him. He instinctively kissed Xiaodang on the face and asked Xiaodang with a smile: "Xiaodang! Do you miss your uncle? Or do you miss your uncle's candy?"
As for the questions raised by Jia Dongming, Xiaodang was already used to it, and answered in a baby voice: "Uncle! Xiaodang misses you, and also misses your candy."
"Brother Dongming! You're back." Lin Qiuyue, who was helping cook in the kitchen, heard the noise outside and immediately walked out of the kitchen. She just happened to see Jia Dongming carrying Xiaodang into the main room from outside, and greeted Jia Dongming happily.
When Jia Dongming saw Lin Qiuyue coming out of the kitchen, he handed her the briefcase in his hand and said to her, "Qiuyue! I have a dinner party tonight and I won't be eating at home. If I come back early, it's fine. If you come back late, remember to leave the door open for me."
