Chapter 38: Routine
early morning.
After Jiang Yan washed up, she walked back to the room, and saw Lu Lin holding up the curtains in her hand, looking out from the gap.
Jiang Yan moved to him, squeezed in under his arm, and followed his gaze.
In the spacious courtyard, Uncle Wang was wearing a white silk long dress and trousers, playing Tai Chi under the tree, in a leisurely manner. On the side, Uncle Wang’s wife is feeding the chickens by the chicken shed.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Yan looked outside, then looked up at him.
"Nothing." Lu Rin lowered the curtains: "Where are you going today?"
"Let’s go to school." Jiang Yan walked to the closet to tidy up her camera and recording equipment: "First understand the basic information of the students in the school, then visit their families, and then edit these interviews together, calling for social attention to the countryside. left behind children."
She probably briefed Lu Lin about her task this time.
"Because you are my husband, you don't need to visit with us, you can wander around the village to see if there are any clues."
He raised his eyebrows: "Your husband's identity?"
Jiang Yan's face turned red: "Fake husband!"
"Oh, sharing the bed with your fake husband last night, did Reporter Jiang sleep well?"
Jiang Yan hummed: "I didn't sleep well at all!"
"What's the matter?"
"You hold a gun to my waist, all night long, who can sleep well?"
"..."
"..."
Lu Lin blushed unexpectedly, a rare spectacle.
In the morning, a truckload of people went to school again. Of course, Lu Lin didn't follow the team. He said that he didn't sleep well last night and had to sleep at home.
Jiang Yan certainly didn't believe that he really wanted to sleep, he must be doing his own work. After all, his purpose of coming here this time was to spot the old drug lord lurking in the village.
"What? You and Lu Lin slept in the same room last night?" Duan Nan's chin was about to fall: "Is it time to get started?"
"Be quiet." Jiang Yan said in a low voice: "Because you can only sleep together if you want to act as a couple."
"Hehehe..."
"Stop it." Jiang Yan glanced at him: "It's not as messy as you think."
"What did I think about me." Duan Nan said with a smile: "If there is anything, can you still get up so early to walk with me in this school with the help of you two?"
The more we talk about this topic, the more wrong it gets. Jiang Yan coughed lightly: "It's still the business."
Duan Nan walked into the office with her and took out a document from the cabinet: "The information of classmates whose parents go out to work at home, you can look through them and select typical home visits."
Jiang Yan flipped it casually and said, "It's quite detailed."
"You ordered everything, can I deal with it casually?"
"Thanks, I will invite you to dinner when you go back."
"I am waiting."
Jiang Yan sat in a chair and began to look through the materials. At this time, a young female teacher walked into the office with red eyes. She usually threw the textbooks on the table in a rage.
"Ms. Li, what's wrong?"
"It's not Sun Hong from the junior high school. Even if he arrives late and quits early to go to bed, he is still playing poker in the classroom. I criticized him because he is more fierce than me. This student cannot teach.
"His father went early, and his mother was not at home all the time. Grandparents at home love the child and can't control him." Other teachers persuaded: "Don't get angry. You have to take your time to deal with such a stubborn child."
The first page of Jiang Yan’s information is Sun Hong’s name. He is in the third grade of junior high school this year and is about to graduate. His father died of illness in his early years, and his mother worked in the city and did not go home for many years. Family, now he lives with his grandparents.
Jiang Yan looked at the data sheet carefully: "Sun Hong..."
Duan Nan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Interested?"
At this moment, two students hurried into the office: "Report...Report to the teacher! Sun Hong grabbed a classmate's schoolbag on the playground!"
The teachers put down their work and hurried to the playground. Several boys were pulling on the playground. The tallest one had a black face and a round head, and looked fierce and evil.
The other two boys are relatively small and appear very thin due to malnutrition.
"Sun Hong! Don't bully the younger classmates!" The male teacher yelled. Sun Hong raised his head and saw several teachers. He threw down the glutinous rice cake he had stolen from his hand, turned and ran.
"Stop, bastard, don't run!"
The principal happened to come back from outside the school gate and directly blocked Sun Hong's path: "What's wrong, what's wrong with you bastard?"
Sun Hong was surrounded by several teachers and cursed: "Hi, your mother."
It's a stubborn and insulting appearance.
"Teacher, he robbed me of my money!" Seeing that a teacher was supporting him, the bullied classmate quickly stood up and said, "He robbed me of 10 yuan!"
"Who robbed you of your money!" Sun Hong spit: "I only robbed your black rice cake."
Another classmate also stood up to testify: "Teacher, he robbed the money!"
"Nonsense, I didn't grab your money!"
"Sun Hong, you usually don't listen to lectures in class, skip class, and now you have developed into a robber?" Teacher Li said angrily, "Hand over the money you robbed of your classmates."
Sun Hong flushed anxiously, and said repeatedly: "I didn't grab the money! What's the payment!"
"Teacher, the money is in his bag!"
Sun Hong instinctively covered his left bag: "This is the money I bought for my old lady to buy pancakes, I didn't grab it!"
"Sun Hong, you must hand over the money, otherwise you won't come to school tomorrow." Teacher Li said angrily, "I have taught for so many years, and I have never seen such a stubborn student like you!"
Seeing the principal and the teachers all around him, Sun Hong's originally dark face flushed with anxiety and was emotional.
He took out two ten yuan bills from his bag, crumpled them up and threw them on the faces of the two students: "Take it! I gave you a charity! Take it and buy a coffin!"
After Sun Hong finished speaking, he left angrily. After running away, he couldn't help but wipe his face with his sleeves, as if he was crying.
Teacher Li picked up the money on the ground, flattened it, and gave it to the two lower-grade students who had been robbed. He said softly, "Stay away from him in the future. If he bullies you again, report to the teacher."
"Thank you, teacher."
Afterwards, Duan Nan said to Jiang Yan: "I saw that, speaking badly, insulting the teacher, and misbehaving is a problematic student that makes all the teachers burned. If you are interested in him, he may not be interested in you and will not easily cooperate with you. Interview."
Jiang Yan nodded and agreed with him: "It seems to be too."
"I will help you find a few more obedient students, so that your task will be easier to complete."
"Thank you Brother Duan."
After the school trip, Jiang Yan concealed Duan Nan and asked Teacher Li the address of Sun Hong's home.
The sunset is like a yellow duck egg, hanging between two cols.
Sun Hong's home, walked deep around a small hill, along a small path, through a lush bamboo forest, and arrived.
It was a small and dilapidated wooden house, leaning against the bamboo forest, with warm yellow lights on the windows. A gray-haired, crooked old man was sitting in front of the house with a big yellow dog lying beside him.
"Are you a reporter from the city?"
A sonorous voice came from behind. Jiang Yan turned around and saw Sun Hong walking out of the forest carrying a bamboo basket with a few tender bamboo shoots in it.
"You ever met me?"
"I saw it at school today." Sun Hong pointed to his head: "I have a good memory, and you are very beautiful. I saw it all at once."
He was only fourteen or five years old in the third year of this year. He was not well developed and he was not tall. The children in the city grew up to his age and had to be a head taller.
"What are you doing at my house?" he asked defensively.
Jiang Yan took out a cake from the bag: "I heard you say that the money is for the elderly in the family to buy cakes."
"Don't pretend to be a good person, you and them are in the same group." Sun Hong didn't even look at the scallion pancake in her hand, and walked past her.
"Boy, I'll give you back the twenty dollars."
Sun Hong's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked back in surprise: "What?"
Jiang Yan took out the crumpled twenty yuan from the bag.
"This is your money, isn't it?"
Sun Hong stared at the money in her hand for a long time. He said, "This is not my money."
Jiang Yan said nothing, he continued: "This is your money."
She smiled and took the money back into her bag. Sun Hong looked at her: "But I still have to thank you for believing in me."
Jiang Yan asked curiously: "Are there spring bamboo shoots in your bamboo basket?"
Sun Hong hesitated for a moment, but he walked towards her, put down the back basket, took out four or five spring bamboo shoots from it, put them into a small pocket, and handed them to Jiang Yan: "It rained a while ago, the spring bamboo shoots are very fresh now, but Be careful of burrs when washing."
Jiang Yan observed his every move, and he was completely different from what he looked like at school this morning.
Jiang Yan took her pocket and took out her purse. Sun Hong said, "No money, I'll treat you to it. Thank you for trusting me."
The child's mind is still very simple, and if others are willing to believe him, he will treat them sincerely.
"Reactive merits will not be rewarded." Jiang Yan took a hundred yuan and put it in Sun Hong's basket: "Thank you for your spring bamboo shoots."
"It's too much."
"I will come to your house for an interview tomorrow, okay."
Sun Hong held her money, thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Yes."
That night, Jiang Yan was despised by Lu Lin.
In the yard, Lu Lin washed his face with cool well water.
"Just a kid, you take the money and go to the routine." He poked Jiang Yan lightly on the forehead: "The conscience hurts."
Jiang Yan grabbed his hand and placed her chest: "Come on, poke here."
"You are so beautiful." Lu Lin said, "If you take people's hand softly, one hundred yuan will make the problem teenagers unable to refuse you."
"I'm the influence of love." Jiang Yan said confidently: "No one believes him, but I know, he definitely didn't take it."
"How did you get it?"
"You forgot, I'm a reporter. I have seen too many people who lie in front of the camera, whether they are acting or showing their true feelings. Although you can't tell at a glance, but I can guess it. He said that the money is I bought pancakes for the elderly in the family, and the second glance moved me, so I believe this sentence."
"It's so amazing, next time you come to our bureau as a polygraph." Lu Lin wiped his face with a towel, then went around to wipe the back of his neck.
Jiang Yan took the towel and helped him wipe the tight flesh of his back, and said casually: "Okay, I'll come to pay the salary."
The two were blind and poor for a while, Lu Lin poured water into the ditch and poured hot water into the basin again: "Do me a favor."
"Don't help, please me."
Lu Lin turned around to look at her, and said sincerely, "Please."
"Call me little fairy."
Lu Lin was also unexpectedly obedient: "Little Fairy Yan'er."
Jiang Yan smiled with her hands on her hips, "Brother Lu Lu also has time to ask for help!"
The corners of Lu Lin's mouth raised slightly and put a towel on her shoulders: "Help me wash my hair."
