At first, Du Songmei just wanted to close her eyes and take a rest, but she fell asleep without thinking. When she woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. There was no one in the living room, but there was an extra thin quilt on her body.
"It seems to have caused a lot of trouble to people!" Du Songmei stretched out and suddenly felt that her body was empty. Then she remembered that Lai had taken a bath at Fei Chai's house and was wearing Fei Chai's loose sportswear. Clothes.
There was a piece of paper on the coffee table, so I took it over and read it. It said: Songmei, seeing that you slept well, I didn’t wake you up. The guest room downstairs is ready. If you haven’t had enough rest, You can go there to rest. Meimei has gone to work. I'm going to visit an old friend and buy some groceries. I'll talk about anything else when Meimei comes back in the evening.
Du Songmei finished reading the message, sighed, and said to herself: "People are good people and will not offend anyone, but they may offend a group of people when they do things." After saying that, she hugged Bao Gui and went to the guest room and saw the guest room. Although it was small, it was well-equipped with facilities. There was also a small LCD TV, so I turned it on and leaned on the bed to watch TV. After watching two episodes of the TV series that didn't start or end, Fei Chai came back.
Fei Chai bought some more seasonal vegetables and fruits. Since Zhao Mei's ideological work had been completed, she became more casual when talking to Du Songmei. Several times, Du Songmei almost took the initiative to tell him the matter, but in the end she still She held it back, since she had made it this far in acting, it was better to do it to the end, but she also made great progress. During this period, she also helped Fei Chai choose and wash vegetables, do some homework, and so on. Suddenly she felt that if there really was a house, two people could live in it. How happy it is to live together like this! But at the same time, she also knows clearly that this is someone else's home and life.
When Zhao Mei and Xiaomi came back from school, the food was cooked and put on the table. After washing their hands, they could eat. Before eating, Zhao Mei took the initiative and said, "A friend is coming from afar. Let's have a drink."
Seeing that Zhao Mei had said this, Fei Chai naturally couldn't say 'no', and Du Songmei was not polite either, so she just said: "Today! It's really worth a drink." After saying this, Fei Chai and Zhao Mei felt that she Yes, there is indeed something to say.
After dinner and half a bottle of red wine, Fei Chai pushed Xiaomi upstairs, and then the three of them cleared away the dishes. Zhao Mei said again: "You two are worthless. You two haven't even drank a bottle of red wine." It’s over, I won’t accept it after reading it, just take it to the living room and drink it slowly.”
So Fei Chai smiled and took the bottle and cup, and Du Songmei also took her own cup. The three of them went to the living room and sat down. The TV was also turned on, but the sound was not loud, and none of the three of them watched it. A scene.
Du Songmei felt that it was time to speak. Even if the two couples were tolerant, they might not be willing to let her spend the night. There is a bottom line in life, so she shook her wine glass and said to Fei Chai: "I don't want to address you by name today either." , you are older than me, can I just call you brother, and then sister-in-law (referring to Zhao Mei)?"
Zhao Mei smiled calmly and said: "Of course, my husband is not a fan of officials. He usually doesn't take his job seriously. As long as he can do his thing, that's all."
Fei Chai also smiled and said, "Well, just do whatever you want."
Du Songmei then said: "Then I'll tell you! Brother, what kind of woman do you think I am?"
"This..." Fei Chai felt Zhao Mei looking at him, and the answer to this question was quite crucial, "Songmei! Even if you ask this, I can only say that I don't know much about you, even though I know you." It's been a few years, but we only spent so much time together, one when we were training in Beijing, and another when we were working in Fengcheng. Maybe there were some misunderstandings between us, but since you are here today, you are mine. Guest, as for the rest, I really haven’t thought much about it.”
This answer obviously satisfied Zhao Mei, and for Du Songmei, it was also considered objective.
Du Songmei smiled calmly and asked: "Brother, do you think I am a bad or ungrateful woman? Many people think so?"
Fei Chai thought for a while and said: "Maybe subconsciously, it's like 'bad' or something, but if you think about it carefully, there are some things that you can't blame at all. As for being ungrateful or something, I can't say it at all, haha."
Zhao Mei didn't understand these two conversations at all, so she didn't say anything, just listened and let them continue.
Du Songmei said: "Brother, you are a very good person, and many people have been favored by you. Therefore, if something happens to you, some people will still complain about you. For example, when you were transferred this time, many people thought that I stabbed you in the back. And they all say that you took me in when I came to Fengcheng, but why am I repaying your favor with a grudge?"
When Zhao Mei heard the word transfer, she quickly asked: "Husband, you want to be transferred again."
Fei Chai said, "No, it was the last time I was transferred from Fengcheng to the provincial capital."
Seeing that Zhao Mei was completely unaware, Du Songmei glanced at Fei Chai and said, "You didn't tell my sister-in-law at all."
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Fei Chai had to say: "There is no need to let his woman know everything about a man. Besides, there is nothing wrong with it. The office conditions are better now that we are close to home. In addition, we can do more research. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Zhao Mei was a little unhappy and said: "Husband, what's going on? Why didn't you tell me?"
Fei Chai said: "Meimei, it's nothing, and it's been like this for more than a year, isn't it pretty good?"
Du Songmei said: "Sister-in-law, many people don't think so? I don't think so either. I was originally the head of the Fengcheng District Bureau of Land Supervision. From a professional point of view, was he in charge of several urban affairs? And at the regional level When the Bureau of Land Supervision was first established and upgraded, all kinds of funding came in. Everyone knew that this was a good job! But when I transferred him back to the provincial capital, he was given a lot of titles, but none of them were useful. He was deputy director of the Education Department. How about three or four? According to my qualifications, I should be able to be a full-time mid-level person in the hall. Even if I get to the college, I will at least be the deputy dean in charge, and I will be given a professor. Originally, it was just a comfort, an official. There are so many part-time professors, but it’s just a reputation. It’s just that I’m very capable and have done a good job in this position. This really fits the saying, gold will shine wherever it goes.”
Zhao Mei didn't care whether it was gold or not, and she didn't ask about Fei Chai. She directly said to Du Songmei: "Songmei, what you mean is that the last time my husband was transferred, he was promoted and demoted secretly."
Du Songmei said: "It kind of means that, but it doesn't count as an increase. I think it only decreases."
Seeing that Du Songmei had said everything, Fei Chai hurriedly said to Zhao Mei: "Meimei, those are just clouds, and aren't you doing very well now?"
Zhao Mei started to feel depressed: "But it wasn't us who wanted to be that official, they invited us to go! They also said that the Fengcheng area needed a general to guard it. What's the matter? Now that there is peace, it's time to kill the donkey. "
Fei Chai smiled and coaxed: "What are you talking about? Meimei, do you think I look like a donkey?"
Zhao Mei was so angry and amused by him that she had no choice but to give him a hug and say, "Oh, be more serious."
Du Songmei also said: "Yes, brother, actually I didn't come here because of my sister-in-law's worries. I really have something to tell you, just to give you a reminder. Originally, I had made two plans. I came here this time Come on, if you don't entertain me well, I won't say anything and let you die. Now, I'm a hypocrite and smart people are afraid of being deceived. I don't want to cause trouble for myself with good intentions."
When Fei Chai heard that something was really going on, he said, "Your sister-in-law also said earlier that a friend came from afar. Is there any inside information?"
Du Songmei said: "That's what happened. The Bureau of Land Supervision was upgraded and lacked talents, so the ministry's training bases were also upgraded to colleges. Some of the training bases in various provinces merged with relevant local universities, and some were upgraded to college branches. On the one hand, there is a serious shortage of teaching staff. On the other hand, it is true that our government also has this trend, hiring a group of officials as professors or honorary professors. Think about it, we do not exclude talents like you among these people, but most of them are He's just messing around, and now the higher-ups have ordered us to clean up the professor team first, I'm afraid some of them will be removed."
Fei Chai said thoughtfully: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Du Songmei sneered: "Brother! How long has it been? Are you still analyzing whether this is a good thing or a bad thing? Yes, it is a good thing to clean up the professor team, but... Anyway, over the years, I have always seen a bunch of bastards turn good things into bad things. It will become a bad thing, because anything in their hands will turn into a vanity fair. I am here to remind you that your professor is not from the right way. Be careful. My suggestion is, either the college or the Education Department, you have to do what you are supposed to do, otherwise no one can tell the consequences."
Fei Chai frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation. He seemed to be talking to Du Songmei, or to himself: "Actually, I don't care if the professor doesn't teach, but just in case... I still have a few on hand. It’s a research project.”
Du Songmei slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you and I really have nothing in common. Sister-in-law, please advise him. How long has it been since?"
At this time, Zhao Mei glanced at Fei Chai with a smile, and then said to Du Songmei: "Songmei, my husband is like this. I marry a chicken and a dog, and he is begging on the street. I'm still his wife."
Du Songmei sighed: "It's true that one family doesn't stay in the same house. Anyway, I brought the news. I heard that it hasn't been documented yet, but this matter will definitely be carried out. It is estimated that the documents will be sent to the province after the Spring Festival. It’s level one, brother, you can take care of it yourself.”
Fei Chai asked her: "You drove here all night just for this matter."
Du Songmei nodded and said, "Yes! By the way, let me confirm your character again."
Fei Chai said with a smile: "Fortunately, no matter what the consequences of this matter will be, at least my character has passed the test."
Du Songmei glanced at Zhao Mei helpfully and said, "Sister-in-law, that's you. Others really can't help him."
Zhao Mei also laughed after hearing this: "The main reason is that I really can't get married, so I have to catch this at all costs. Otherwise, what will I do if he doesn't want me when he gets angry?"
