Since his mother's death, Han Weidong wanted to take his father to town, but Han Tingqian did not want to go. On his own terms, he's unused to living in a house without a yard.
When Han Tingqian was well, he would rest in the small yard. There was a large grape trellis on the west side of the yard, which could be used for sun protection on sunny days, and on rainy days it could be used to listen to the sound of the rain and relax. There was a round table under the grape rack and he usually ate in the courtyard.
……
The grapes ripen in August-September; they can be eaten at harvest time and can be used to make wine. The vines prefer sunny areas and dry weather. They are more cold-hardy and suitable for planting in the north.
……
To the east of the yard, there was a birdcage with two birds in it. Their green feathers were very beautiful, and the chirping was endless. Next to the birdcage was a pair of blue and white porcelain tubs. The aquarium to the south contained several goldfish, and the aquarium to the north contained a pair of turtles.
"Meow..."
In the corner of the yard, there was still a tabby cat lying down. Its hair was smooth and greasy. It had a circle of brown-black hair and a circle of white hair, which was very cute. When Han Bin and the others returned, it seemed to disturb him in its rest. Lazy, it turned and licked its paws.
Since Han Tingqian did not want to go to town and Han Weidong could not stay near his father to take care of him, so he hired a nanny who lived in the same village to help him clean the yard, wash clothes and prepare meals for him every day.
When Han Weidong decided to come and visit his father with his family members, he asked the nanny to take a day off, which is why they put away the things they bought for him and began to prepare lunch. We could say the meal of the day is resolved.In the evening, the old man ate lightly, usually, the nanny would cook him polenta or millet, pickles, ham, and other side dishes.
Before that, in the morning, after putting away the things that were in the trunk of the car, Han Weidong went for a walk on his own, and went out to buy breakfast. The old house was on the main street. After a few hundred meters there were the first shops, he visited a few and bought some steamed buns, fried dough sticks, Nao tofu, egg cakes, eight treasure porridge, and whatever he wanted to eat.
Today it was cloudy and relatively cool. Han Bin decided to eat kebabs, and the old man naturally agreed with him. Han Weidong and Wang Huifang were basically only obedient.
Vegetables for kebabs are none other than Enoki mushrooms, eggplants, and leeks. Each meat dish contained; lamb skewers, lamb loin, beef skewers, grilled wings. There were other dishes with seafood, mussels, lobster, oysters, shrimp, etc.
The four people from the Han family worked together, Wang Huifang washed the vegetables and cut the meat, Han Weidong and Han Bin made skewers, and Han Tingqian was in charge of burning charcoal. When almost everything was ready, Han Bin set up the grill and started grilling.
There was a gentle breeze in the backyard and a few raindrops started to fall as they ate the barbecue. They drank homemade wine, talked, and laughed; it was a very busy day.
......
Han Bin lived in the old house for two days and only returned to town on Monday morning. Han Weidong sent him to the branch door, upon entering the office of the Second Branch of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team Group.
"Hello."
"Hello," Han Bin nodded.
"Hello," the colleague in the sub-office also said hello.
Han Bin was unsure if he was in the spotlight on the day the banner was sent. He found that the number of people welcoming him had increased considerably.
After entering the office, he saw Tian Li cleaning up and Li Hui peeling eggs and drinking tea.
Han Bin smiled: "Brother Hui, your standard of living is pretty good. You have eggs and tea in the morning."
"Brother Bin, what era are you from? The eggs in the tea are outdated. The rich now eat instant noodles with mustard pickles in the morning," Li Hui blinked.
"Yes, when you get paid, stop eating big kidneys, please eat instant noodles with pickles and mustard, and experience the rich life," Han Bin said solemnly.
"Forget it; let's just be a little cop. The rich package is too extravagant. If you are posted online, you may need to be called to the relevant department for tea," Tian Li joked.
"Ahaha..."
The three laughed loudly.
"What made you laugh?"
Zhao Ming came in with a bucket of instant noodles and put it on the desk and took out the mustard ham.
"Look, see, see, what I'm talking about…" Li Hui patted his thigh: "Besides mustard, there are ham sausages. This is called lavishness."
Zhao Ming looked stunned: "Your sister… Is it enough to eat instant noodles?"
Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhao Ming also knew the stems of the mustard tuber, and laughed with it, and angrily invited everyone to taste the mustard tuber.
"Knock Knock,"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and everyone turned their heads and looked, Zhang Ping was standing at the door.
"Yeah, it's pretty busy."
"Captain Zhang."
"You're finally here, but you want to kill us," the crowd saluted.
"What happened to the four of you? You talk so loudly," Zhang Ping smiled.
"We are discussing, when you come, where when can we come and get you?" Han Bin smiled.
"Hehe, I love to hear those words," Zhang Ping reached out and patted Han Bin's shoulder: "I heard that when I was away, you, my child; you did a good job and were congratulated by Supreme Director Dai."
"You and Captain Zheng taught me well, and my brothers gave me assists. Otherwise, I wouldn't stand a chance to stand out," Han Bin said modestly.
"I love hearing those words. Bin is the Jordan of our team, and I'm Pippen," Li Hui waved his right hand in a gesture he found cool.
"You are the same with leather shoes," Tian Li joked, and it made everyone laugh.
......
At noon, everyone was discussing where to eat, and when they took the wind to leave Zhang Ping, Zheng Kaixuan took the thermos cup and walked into the office: "Old Zhang, how are the working arrangements?"
"All documents and files were handled well," Zhang Ping stood up.
"That's right, there is a case now, and can you take it?"
"No problem," Zhang Ping said sternly.
"You're not asking which case is this." Zheng Kaixuan reached out and hammered Zhang flat in his chest.
"Either way, make sure I get the job done."
"Okay," Zheng Kaixuan smiled: "When this matter is settled, the selection of the police star of our third team this time will be made."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
"Captain Zheng, what's the case?" Han Bin asked.
"A disappearance case," Zheng Kaixuan said, and then pointed to Tian Li: "The informant is at the reception. Bring him here."
"Yes, Captain."
Tian Li answered and left the office. Soon after, she drove a woman. The woman was in her twenties, but she wasn't tall, had dark skin, and she was quite beautiful, and she looked a little nervous.
"Sit down, I'll take your statement," Tian Li pointed to the chair next to the table.
"Huh," the woman answered and sat down.
Tian Li opened the law enforcement register, took out a notebook, and asked: "Name, gender, age, hometown..."
"My name is He Ru, female, twenty-five this year..."
"What crime are you reporting?"
"My sister is missing."
"When did she disappear?"
"Yesterday morning."
"Did she leave a message or something?"
"I was not there when she left. She gave the child to her mother-in-law and said she was going out shopping, but she never came back," He Ru recalled.
"How's your sister?"
"I don't know about it either."
"What's your sister's name?" How old is she?"
"My sister's name is He Yan, three years older than me."
"Oh..."
At that moment, He Ru's cell phone rang, and she looked down and said in surprise:
"It's a message from my sister."
