In the evening, Si Chen and Lin Nuo had dinner.

There was a large table of Chinese food on the table. Si Chen was holding whiskey in his hand, Lin Nuo was holding red wine, and several women were holding white wine.

"cheers!"

After everyone put down their cups, Si Chen and Lin Nuo talked about things, while Yan Lixia, Si Letian and Si Xiaoxiao ate meat and joked together.

Yan Lixia served her two sisters separate dishes and asked, "You don't live in Longcheng anymore?"

"No, sister-in-law, we have a flight tonight." Si Xiaoxiao poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said:

"When you get to Kyoto, change trains and fly to London, and then fly from London to Paris."

Yan Lixia couldn't help laughing when he heard this:

"It's such a roundabout way? No wonder Lin Nuo insists on sending you there in person."

"It's bad, if it weren't for Brother Nuo, we would have left a week ago."

Si Xiaoxiao took a sip of wine and complained:

"He insisted on seeing us off, saying that it was not safe on the road and that girls should have escorts when they go out."

"He can't settle the matter of opening a new coal mine here at once."

"He couldn't leave, so he made a few overseas phone calls and asked for leave for both of us."

"My tutor is a female devil. He may torture me in some way when I return to school. Alas!"

The women here were talking, but Lin Nuo was listening with her ears perked up.

Si Chen frowned, a little impatient: "Hey, hey, did you hear what I just said?"

Lin Nuo came to his senses and asked: "What?"

"It's about reasonable tax avoidance!" Si Chen smoked Lin Nuo and said again:

"Starting this year, isn't Longcheng going to support light industry?"

"The coal tax is too high. Let's move the account and use the light industry branch of your group to pay the bill."

"How about we avoid tax reasonably?"

Lin Nuo listened quietly to Si Chen's words, blinked her thick and long eyelashes, and asked:

"Brother, are you trying to avoid taxes reasonably? Are you trying to escape..."

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" Si Chen immediately cut off the conversation and touched Lin Nuo's arm with the back of the hand holding the cigarette.

Lin Nuo waved his hand, blocked the cigarette that Si Chen handed him, and refused:

"Xiaoxiao doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. She needs to keep her sense of smell sharp. The required courses she chooses include perfume blending and incense making."

"She can smell even the slightest odor of cigarette smoke on my body and says it's choking."

Si Chen was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Yan Lixia.

His wife often said that he smelled a bit choking, but he could never find the reason.

In this way, it probably has a slight smell of smoke stains.

It is commonly known as third-hand smoke.

People who have smoked will have the smell of smoke stains on their body. Old smokers will have a stronger smell, while ordinary people will have a lighter smell.

Some girls also like the slight smell of cigarette stains on men, with an inexplicable pseudo-dopamine illusion. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

However, for people with poor respiratory systems, or children with underdeveloped respiratory systems, third-hand smoke is very lethal.

Si Chen thought for a while, Yan Lixia's fragile respiratory system was probably damaged by the smell of cigarette stains on her body.

Thinking of this, Si Chen silently put away his cigarette. It seemed that he would have to smoke less in the future.

Do not smoke indiscriminately unless necessary.

He is actually fine, he doesn't have any craving for cigarettes, and he can't even talk about quitting smoking.

Si Chen looked at Lin Nuo again, his eyes lit up, and he leaned forward a little bit shamelessly, teasing:

"What, Uncle Jianhua, have you done it? Are you a prospective son-in-law, or are you not a son-in-law?"

"Almost." Lin Nuo smiled a little shyly.

"What do you mean it's almost the same?" Si Chen didn't like others talking to him ambiguously:

"Achievements are successes. If I don't look down on you, I will look down on you. You are a grinder!"

"Aren't I afraid that Uncle Jianhua won't agree?"

Lin Nuo was still shy, rubbed his eyebrows with his thumb, and said:

"During the Chinese New Year, I intentionally or unintentionally behaved a little closer to Xiaoxiao."

"Then, let Uncle Jianhua and his wife find out. I want to see their reactions."

"It's okay. I don't oppose it, but I don't seem to be very willing to support it."

"Right now, I'm actually waiting for a clear attitude from the other party."

"As for me, the best I can do is to be nice to Xiaoxiao. The key lies in Xiaoxiao."

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao is not old enough to get the certificate yet, I have the patience."

Si Chen listened to Lin Nuo's big-tailed wolf-like words, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with him, and said:

"My daughter is only nineteen years old, you are an old cow eating young grass!"

Lin Nuo clinked glasses with Si Chen again and said slowly:

"Each other, each other!"

Si Chen:......-_-||

Really, Yan Lixia was only this old when she married her.

…

Outside the window and downstairs.

Suddenly a siren sounded.

Several people who were eating, drinking and chatting in the private room put down their chopsticks and wine glasses one after another and ran to the window.

Si Xiaoxiao was the first to ask: "What's going on downstairs?"

They were eating on the third floor, looking down -

In the darkness, hundreds of black shadows lingered on both sides of the road.

Almost every dark figure is holding or holding a cigarette.

In the darkness, the scarlet cigarette butt flickered on and off.

Someone took a puff and casually put down the hand holding the cigarette, and the cigarette butt flashed a streak of light in the darkness.

The cigarette butts, as they moved around, looked like fireflies scurrying around.

These people are distributed on both sides of the road, and you can vaguely see that everyone has steel pipes in their hands.

Santana, with the siren howling, slowly drove over and walked slowly down the street.

There were just these people standing on the streets on both sides of Santana, and they were not afraid at all!

This scene is particularly like a lone lion on the African savanna, shuttling among groups of hyenas.

Those hyenas, relying on their overwhelming numbers, are not afraid at all!

Even if there is prey at this moment, the hyena will not hesitate to rush up to grab the food!

Lin Nuo frowned and said, "Isn't it very popular recently? Why do you still dare to gather people to fight?"

Si Chen took over the conversation and sneered: "With Qi Er's support, when have they ever been afraid?"

Lin Nuo laughed dumbly and nodded in agreement:

"Yes, in this Hexi District, the Qi family is strong and the parents are officials."

"In the eyes of these people, Li Fumin and Zheng Zhi are all people who come to gain political achievements."

"After the fishing is done, when they leave, Hexi District will still be dominated by the Qi family, and they will continue to be as rampant as they want."

"Three generations of the Qi family have taken root in Hexi District. They are too powerful and cannot be easily eradicated."

"Didn't Qi San get arrested? It is said that he refused to admit anything until he died."

"It's easier said than done to get to the bottom of this."

Si Chen curled his lips indifferently:

"Then they still underestimated Uncle Zheng's methods and underestimated Li Fumin's determination."

"The Qi family is not simple, but this time, if you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter King Yama."

"Just wait and see, there will be a bloody drama!"

…

The author's digression:

This scene of a group of people smoking and confronting each other in the dark was something I witnessed with my own eyes ten years ago.

In fact, to be honest, the last ten years have been relatively peaceful.

Younger babies may find it a bit unbelievable. Look at what happened some time ago. It was not an exception back then.

In the past, it was really dangerous for girls to go to get off work at night.

At that time, I was often whistled at by the tattooed man eating at the roadside barbecue stall.
