Siheyuan: Garbage King

In the dark interrogation room, Big Eyes sat on a cold chair, looking at the people in front of him with a dull expression.

Shen Xiaoyi had someone give him a simple bandage for his injured leg, but judging from his awkward look, it must be quite painful.

"Chen Wen'an! If you continue to be so stubborn, the only thing waiting for you is death."

Chen Wen'an is a famous person with big eyes, a ruffian-like character, but his name is gentle and gentle.

The person who spoke was a young police officer, and he shouted loudly at Big Eyes.

They had been working overtime in the past few days, but they failed to get any useful information from this kid. This kid either pretended to be deaf and mute to avoid interrogation, or talked nonsense to try to disrupt their thinking.

The big-eyed boy raised his head, smiled, then lowered his head and remained silent.

At the door, Shen Xiaoyi and Li Fang frowned as they listened to the sounds in the room.

Just now Shen Xiaoyi went to deliver money to Li Fang, and Li Fang happened to hear that Da Yaner was still being interrogated, so he asked to come and have a look.

"His psychological defense is very strong. It seems that he is sure that he can get out from here." Li Fang analyzed.

Shen Xiaoyi nodded and said: "He is an old fox. He knows that if he is just fighting and buying and selling these crimes privately, his life will not be saved."

Li Fang thought for a moment and said: "The power behind this person... is there any news from your family?"

Shen Xiaoyi nodded, then shook his head.

"We found a cook, but it was of little value. With this arrest, no one in the family could cook anymore," Shen Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Li Fang smiled, and at this moment, the young policeman walked out of the room.

"Brother Shen, this kid's mouth is too strict, as if it has been sewn with a needle. He is unwilling to tell the truth."

Shen Xiaoyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Binzi. By the way, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Li Fang who rescued Xiao Zheng last time."

Xu Bin took a look at Li Fang, extended his hand to him enthusiastically, and said: "Hello, Comrade Li Fang, I am Xu Bin. Seeing that you are young, just call me Brother Xu. If anything happens in the future, just come to me directly." , Brother Shen’s friends are my friends.”

Li Fang quickly shook hands with him: "Okay, thank you then."

The three of them chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, Shen Xiaoyi offered to take Li Fang home.

In the car, Li Fang casually mentioned the matter of Lao Chang's brother-in-law.

"Well, he's also weird about this. Do you know who this old brother-in-law offended?" Shen Xiaoyi smiled helplessly when Li Fang mentioned this.

Li Fang asked curiously: "Who?"

Shen Xiaoyi sighed and said: "You know the Liu Kangkang who fought with Xiao Zheng last time? He has a younger brother named Liu Pingping, who is even more messy than that boy Shen Xiaozheng... He's not that old , he got into a lot of trouble. This kid took advantage of his physical strength and beat people a lot. Who knew he would meet Lao Chang’s brother-in-law, who beat him so hard that he couldn’t get out of bed for three days.”

Li Fang also smiled helplessly. The two brothers of the Liu family were miserable enough. They had to deal with hard problems like their grandsons.

"Then how to deal with this matter?" Li Fang asked.

Shen Xiaoyi cheered and said: "I asked the adults of the old Chang family to take the kid and take things to apologize to Liu Pingping. Then he promised Liu Pingping that when he gets better, he will give the kid a good beating. After a meal, the matter will be over. Children are fighting and fighting, so why bother making such a big deal."

Li Fang thought, Lao Chang's brother-in-law was really lucky. If it had been anyone else, he would have gone to the farm to farm.

"After get off work tomorrow, come with me and come to my house for a meal. It's a homely meal. Don't bring anything." Shen Xiaoyi turned to look at Li Fang.

Li Fang hesitated for a moment when he heard Shen Xiaoyi's invitation.

"Is it appropriate for me to go to your house?" Li Fang was a little embarrassed.

Shen Xiaoyi laughed: "It's okay, my old man is not at home, you don't have to be cautious."

Li relaxed and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

When he got home, Li Fang took out the money notes that Shen Xiaoyi exchanged. It was a thick stack with a wide variety of tickets. It could be seen that Shen Xiaoyi had put a lot of thought into it.

He looked at the cotton coupons and thought that he would have to get some when he went home next time to make thick quilts for Zhang Yurong and the children, so as not to be too cold to get out of bed again.

This time, he didn't have to worry about giving Qin Jianjun a wedding gift. After all, he had become rich overnight. He had much more money on hand and had a lot of things for him to choose from.

...

As Shen Xiaoyi said, his home was very quiet. As soon as Li Fang entered the yard, he saw an old lady wearing reading glasses sitting on a chair and reading a newspaper.

The old lady's hair is silver-white, but her short hair is still meticulously combed. It can be seen that she was a smart and capable person when she was young, at least an intellectual.

"Grandma, Li Fang is here." Shen Xiaoyi walked to the old lady and said with a smile.

The old lady had sharp ears and eyes. She patted her eldest grandson and said, "I saw it, let him come in and sit down."

Li Fang was holding something in his hand, and Shen Xiaoyi didn't let him take it. He couldn't really refuse to take it. After all, it's not a good habit to go to other people's houses empty-handed.

He didn't buy any expensive tobacco or alcohol, but just some snacks, which were soft and could be eaten by the elderly.

"Hey, this kid is quite handsome." Li Fang approached, and the old lady looked at him, her eyes brightening.

Li Fang smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."

The old lady pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Thank you for the child Xiaozheng, otherwise, I, an old lady, would not be able to see my precious little grandson."

The old lady was also a veteran who had been in the military for half her life. She lost her husband when she was young and lost her son when she was middle-aged. She dedicated herself to the Red cause. As she grew older, she felt very sorry for her two precious grandchildren, who were both the most important figures in her heart.

Shen Xiaoyi on the side interjected: "Grandma, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Today, Shen Xiaozheng went to the countryside with the people from the security department, and they were late for dinner, so they didn't wait for him, so only the three of them had this meal.

The old lady nodded and said, "This cook was borrowed from your Uncle Xu. I don't know how it tastes. I heard that this cook is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine."

The old lady is from Sichuan. As people get older, they miss their hometown more and more. Therefore, the old lady usually likes to eat hometown dishes. Regardless of her age, her taste has not changed. The original cook stayed in the Shen family because of his good Sichuan cooking skills. .

As for Li Fang, when he heard the word Sichuan cuisine, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Isn't this cook just a fool? Isn't it such a coincidence?

The three of them gathered around the table. After a while, Li Fang saw Sha Zhu happily carrying the dishes and came over.

"The dishes are ready, you guys have a taste." Silly Zhu pulled his apron and said with a smile.

"Brother Zhuzhu." At this time, Li Fang greeted Shazhu.

Si Zhu just saw Li Fang at this time, with a surprised look on his face, but he didn't say much. After all, his master had told him to just cook and not talk too much.

So even though he was very curious, he didn't dare to talk to Li Fang. He just smiled at Li Fang.

But Shazhu had a hundred doubts in his heart at this time. He thought, Li Fang could not be the child of some big leader's family.

At this time, Shen Xiaoyi also saw Shazhu. As a cadre of the logistics department, of course he knew Shazhu, the famous back cook in the canteen. He took a bite of food for the old lady and took another one himself.

"Not bad, Master He, today's food tastes really good." Shen Xiaoyi praised.

Silly Zhu laughed and looked at the old lady sitting on the main seat. Before he came, the leader named Xu had said that the old lady in this family was a serious Sichuanese. If he fooled himself, That really slaps the big leader in the face.

The old lady took a bite of her elbow. After a while, she nodded with a smile: "It tastes very good. Thank you for your hard work, chef."

When Shazhu heard that the old lady had passed the test, he quickly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, you guys enjoy it. I'll go take care of things. If you have any questions, just call me."

Li Fang looked at Sha Zhu's look and knew that this guy would definitely bring some private goods home again and feed them to Qin Huairu's family.

However, Sha Zhu's food was really delicious, so Li Fang ate a lot of food while eating it.

The old lady ate less as she got older, so she felt happy when she saw Li Fang eating deliciously.

After all, as people get older, they like to see the youthful aura of young people, which makes them feel younger and have more appetite.

"Come here often when you have free time. I heard from Xiaoyi that you can write articles. Why don't you discuss it with me, an old lady, some other time." The old lady looked at Li Fang with kind eyes.

Li Fang exclaimed and said, "Okay, I'll come here often for your food."

Seeing Li Fang's honest look, the old lady laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare the dishes and wait for you to come."

After eating, the old lady went into the house to rest, and Shen Xiaoyi took Li Fang to his study.

As soon as he entered, Li Fang saw bookshelves filled with books of all types.

"Brother Shen, have you read all these books?" Li Fang asked.

Calling Section Chief Shen was too unfamiliar, and the old lady didn't think it sounded good, so she asked Li Fang to change his name to Brother Shen Xiaoyi.

Naturally, Li Fang would not refuse the old lady's request, so he agreed naturally.

Shen Xiaoyi picked up a book casually and said, "I have seen it and read it, but I haven't memorized much of the knowledge in it. If you want to read any book, just take it yourself."

Li Fang smiled and said, "Okay."

He walked to Shen Xiaoyi's desk and saw a photo frame on it. In the photo, there was a couple in military uniforms, with a four or five-year-old boy standing between them.

Regarding Shen Xiaoyi's mother, Li Fang only heard Shen Xiaozheng mention it once. She was bombed by artillery shells and died unfortunately.

That year, Shen Xiaoyi was less than ten years old.

Li Fang didn't want to mention other people's sad things, so he quickly diverted his attention and started chatting with Shen Xiaoyi again.

While the two were chatting, they heard footsteps coming from outside.
