Liu Qingqing's parents are both retired teachers from Qinghe Normal School, and they usually spend their time taking care of Liu Qingqing's precious daughter.
The old couple didn't take a liking to their new son-in-law, Yu Feilong, and had made a rule that except for holidays, he was not allowed to visit them.
Once, the unit allocated two boxes of apples to each person. Yu Feilong wanted to "pay respects" to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but it was inconvenient for him to visit in person, so he sent Xiang Tianliang with a bicycle to deliver them.
Unexpectedly, this time, Xiang Tianliang was quite to Lao Touzi Liu Qingyang's taste, and the old and young became like old friends. They even insisted on keeping Xiang Tianliang for dinner, and later they specially looked for him to chat, thus becoming a pair of sworn friends despite their age difference.
It turned out that Liu Qingyang had a special hobby, usually fond of gardening and landscape art, his home was full of his works. When Xiang Tianliang went there for the first time, Liu Qingyang was busy in the courtyard, building a miniature "Forbidden City". Xiang Tianliang casually said a few words beside him, which surprisingly pleased Liu Qingyang, from then on, the old man regarded Xiang Tianliang as his confidant.
Today, as the sky was brightening, Liu Qingyang was in the yard, treading on a pile of mud with his bare feet, wearing only an undershirt on a cold winter's day, sweating profusely, and looking vigorous, not like a sixty-year-old man at all.
"It's dawn, you're just in time. Come on, come on, this task is yours now." Liu Qingyang was like seeing reinforcements and began to instruct without courtesy.
Xiang Tianliang quickly took off his shoes and socks, laughing as he stepped into the mud. "Hehe, Teacher Liu, just look at this - it's top-grade ceramic soil from Jiumen County! Where did you get it from?"
Jiumen County's porcelain soil is world-renowned. When Xiang Tianliang was young, his uncle worked at the Jiumen Porcelain Factory. He visited once and brought back two fist-sized pieces of porcelain soil, which he exchanged with a peddler for three yuan worth of sugar cubes, leaving a deep impression on him.
"Master, one look and I know, Xiao Xiang, you're a big shot!" Liu Qing sat down in the chair, raised his thumb, panted, and lit a cigarette. "One of my students became the deputy director of Jiumen Porcelain Factory, and recently called to say he was coming to visit me. Hehe, so I took advantage of the opportunity to ask him for some porcelain clay. Can't come empty-handed when visiting the teacher, gotta bring something practical. And look, he sent it over!"
Looking at Liu Qingyang's smug face, Xiang Tianliang also didn't mince his words, "You're really good at talking, I heard that the price of Jiumen ceramic soil has risen to over 2 yuan per kilogram now. This pile of ceramic soil is at least a ton, and it's worth at least 4,000 to 5,000 yuan."
"Haha, who made him my student?" Liu Qingyang became even more pleased with himself. "Guess, kid, what I'm going to do with this pile of ceramic soil."
"I can't guess, you always carefully carry a big world in your chest, I haven't reached that level yet."
Liu Qingyang smiled and said: "A small chest contains a big world, well said, this flattery is to my liking, it reflects the true essence of garden art."
"Alright, you're criticizing me again, come on, what's your point this time?"
"Build a model of the Great Wall and give it to the city's youth activity center, how about that?"
At the sound of Tian Liang's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, have you ever seen the real Great Wall?"
"You dare to laugh at me?" said Liu Qingyang with a glare, "I may not have seen the Great Wall of China, but I have you, haven't I? You've been in Beijing for four years, and you're still not even one-tenth of a Beijinger. Haven't you ever seen the Great Wall either?"
"Ha ha, I've been there a few times, but the Great Wall is really long, and I've only been to one Nth of it!"
"This I don't care about, you have to think of a way, for example, get some information on this aspect, make phone calls, write letters, and ask your classmates for help."
"My goodness, you're really good at catching mistakes."
"Who made you my friend? Remember, making friends requires sacrifices."
"Hehe, alright, I'll take care of this." Xiang Tianliang replied with a smile.
"This is still reasonable, gotta hurry up...... Quick, quick, don't let your stinky feet delay you." Liu Qingyang smiled with narrowed eyes, paused for a moment, then asked, "Tian Liang, aren't you going to work today?"
Xiang Tianliang nodded and said, "I have something to discuss with Liu Jie."
He hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell this kind-hearted old man about his own experience.
"Oh... is she coming home today? This little girl, her mom went on a trip organized by the company, and the little girl moved in with the teacher's family, not even bothering to visit this old man." Liu Qingyang muttered.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Liu Qingqing pushed open the courtyard door and came in, still holding a bag of loose vegetables.
"Dad, how did you get Tian Liang to do this." Liu Qingqing complained, her face red, and she knew that Tian Liang must be nervous.
"It doesn't matter, anyway I'm just idle."
Liu Qingyang smiled slyly, "It's daytime, you're free now, go discuss your business quickly, heh heh."
This remark was made, talking about your business, with some ulterior motives. Toward the bright sky, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly bent down to pick up his shoes and socks.
Liu Qingqing glared at Liu Qingyang and pulled Xiang Tianliang's hand towards the house.
Dai Xiang Tian Liang washed his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and came out of the bathroom. At the door, Liu Qingqing immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"It's daytime, so many people... following me, it scared me to death..."
Without hesitation, he picked up Liu Qingqing and boldly kissed her face.
"Eldest Sister Liu, it's all right... don't cry, this matter, it's best if Teacher Liu doesn't find out."
"Hmm... hold me, carry me upstairs." Liu Qingqing's body was soft and limp, hanging on Xiang Tianliang's body and refusing to come down.
Toward Tian Liang is willing, but he is very calm, now is not the time for affection, to investigate Yu Fei Long's conspiracy is the most urgent matter.
Looking at Xiang Tianliang's serious face, Liu Qingqing also understood that this date was not the kind that required sensuality and indulgence. When they reached her room on the second floor, she instinctively left his embrace.
"When day breaks, will they find us here?" Liu Qingqing asked worriedly.
Xiang Tianliang shook his head and said, "No way, they should have retreated by now. They're also afraid of getting in trouble for using national resources to do personal favors. If their superiors find out, they'll be severely punished. Those plainclothes police won't dare to make a move either. They've been waiting for half a day and are already getting impatient."
Liu Qingqing nodded slightly, "Just now I took a detour and saw that there seemed to be no cars behind me, so I turned back."
"I've thought of that too. Your dad is a renowned figure with high moral standing, even if they find out we're both here, they can't do anything to us."
"Why?"
Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "Qinghe Teahouse is a public place, they can fabricate countless reasons to create a case, but this is a private residence, you and I have countless reasons to explain ourselves, let alone with your dad here."
Liu Qingqing asked: "How did you know they were going to set an ambush at Qinghe Teahouse?"
"Good question, I was just about to ask you too, let's start from this point."
"What do you want to ask me?"
Xiang Tianliang asked: "Liu Jie, my pager number is known to less than five people, how did you know?"
