In fact, the restaurant was not a real building. It was just one floor above the original bungalow, but it was the best restaurant on the street of Jialin Village. The venue was not small, and the dishes were not bad. The reception of the village was all here except for their own guest house.
Pan Baoshan asked for a small private room. Wang Tao went over and ordered without any hesitation. Braised pheasant, chestnut stewed pig's tail, hare meatballs, ground scuttle nestling roast, steamed pigeon, pepper and salt quail, and so on piled up on the table. There were also two boxes of Yuxi and two bottles of Yanghe.
Old Wang's heart ached when he saw this." Aiya aiya, it's such a waste to order something like this and not be able to eat it. There's a thousand tons of oil at home. Why don't you light the double headlights?!"”
"It won't go to waste. The weather is still fine. It won't go bad for a while. After that, pack it up and go back. Let the canteen cook it up in the morning and night. It can last for two days.”Wang Tao didn't care." Besides, if it really doesn't work, just put it in the fridge. I guarantee that it won't go to waste.”
Old Wang looked at Pan Baoshan and chuckled." Baoshan, what evidence do you have that Little Wang Tao has on you?”
"What can I do?" Pan Baoshan spread out his hands." I can't help it. I'm a generous person. I treat my friends better than myself. Wang Tao said that he's been craving for food recently and wants to satisfy himself. I said yes, I'll treat you to a big meal."”
"It can't be that simple. If Wang Tao doesn't have any evidence, then he must have something to ask of me.”Old Wang did not believe Pan Baoshan's words at all.
"There's nothing that I need his help with. On the other hand, Wang Tao still has something to ask of me. He wants me to be a human ladder for him at night and directly climb to the second floor.”
"Is that so, Wang Tao? It's the young man who has strong firepower.”Old Wang chuckled.
"If you listen to him, New Year's Day will be like the Spring Festival.”Wang Tao tore open the cigarette." Pan Baoshan is full of lust, but he's pretending to be serious on the surface. He's been drooling over Liu Jiangyan for a long time, but he's too embarrassed to confess. Now, he can't hold it in anymore and wants me to help create an opportunity.”
"Bah, Bao Shan, I was still talking about it in the office this afternoon, but you refused to admit it.”Old Wang opened the bottle and started pouring wine.
Pan Baoshan smiled helplessly." Wang Tao, you really know how to pick the right spot when you lie. How do you want me to explain this to Old Wang?”
"Forget it, don't explain. It's useless.”Old Wang crossed his legs and shook them." But I'll still say the same thing. It's best not to make a move on Liu Jiangyan first. Otherwise, we won't be able to mess with Liu Haiyan.”
"Liu Haiyan?" Wang Tao frowned." Why is Liu Jiangyan's sister involved again?" Pan Baoshan, you're not crazy, are you? Are you going to lay your hands on the sisters?”
"Why would I attack my biological sister? Wouldn't that be a mess?" Pan Baoshan was anxious and quickly argued.
"Oh, then tell me, who do you want to attack?”Old Wang asked.
"I, I didn't actually want to do anything to anyone. I was confused by what you said.”Pan Baoshan sighed." I can't explain it now. The truth is, I do have feelings for Liu Jiangyan, but it's far from the point where I want to confess.”
"Ai, Baoshan, didn't you say that you didn't have enough conditions?”Wang Tao craned his neck." Is it okay now? It should be okay. There's no point in hiding anything if we reveal everything in less than two days.”
"Reveal what?" Old Wang was very puzzled.
Wang Tao looked at Pan Baoshan and realized that he hadn't told Old Wang about the by-election for the deputy head of the township.
Actually, Pan Baoshan did not deliberately hide it from Old Wang. When he heard Wang Tao say this, he relaxed and told Old Wang about the by-election of the deputy township head.
Old Wang was a little stunned after hearing that." What are you two doing? I'm an old man with a bad brain. Can't you say something more reliable? Otherwise, I keep feeling that tonight's meal is not at ease. Could it be that you guys are ganging up on me and want me to treat you?”
"Old Wang, you're really old and muddle-headed!" Wang Tao tapped the table." Comrade Pan Baoshan will soon be our deputy head of the village, and it will be decided after the National People's Congress! You can see if it's reliable or not!"
Old Wang still did not quite believe it." Where are Zheng Jinping and Zhou Guofang?”
"They are nothing!" Wang Tao was very disdainful." He was arrested by the Organization Department.”
"Aiya, tell me, you, Pan Baoshan, actually waited until now to tell me such a big thing!”Old Wang slammed the bottle of wine on the table.
Pan Baoshan was stunned when he saw that Old Wang was angry. Wang Tao was also very surprised. He looked at Pan Baoshan and then at Old Wang." Sigh, Old Wang, your reaction is a little too big. We only found out about this in the afternoon.”
"It doesn't matter when you know. The key is that I've already opened this wine. If you had said it half a minute earlier, you would have changed it no matter what. The last time I came here, the boss said that there were two bottles of Maotai!”Old Wang's eyebrows twitched as he winked at Wang Tao.
Pan Baoshan heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Tao immediately understood. He chuckled and turned his gaze to Pan Baoshan." Baoshan, I'll make the decision to order the dishes. Let Old Wang decide on the wine. He just said that it's Maotai."”
"Without Maotai, can cat urine do?”Pan Baoshan tilted his head." You guys are too much. A wine that costs more than a hundred yuan isn't enough?”
Wang Tao saw that there was no chance, so he immediately winked at Old Wang." Old Wang, Baoshan means that we can save the money for Moutai so that he can invite us to come a few more times, right?”
Old Wang paused for a moment and understood what Wang Tao meant. He immediately nodded." Very good, very good. Baoshan's arrangement is also very good.”
"Hey, are you trying to fool me by echoing each other?”Pan Baoshan snorted." No way. It's only at this level. This is the only time. Let's just eat it up."”
"Look at how firm this kid's stance is!”Wang Tao pursed his lips." Why else would he be promoted at such a young age? It must be because our party discovered his outstanding quality and vowed to die!”
As they spoke, the waiter served two dishes. Pan Baoshan swirled his wine glass." Alright, let's start drinking. Cut the crap."”
They drank happily and chatted happily until half past ten. The three of them downed two bottles of white wine and a few bottles of beer. They weren't drunk, but they weren't too sober either. Especially Old Wang. He was getting old and his alcohol tolerance was running low. He even started to talk nonsense.
On the way back to the government compound, Pan Baoshan suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Tao to accompany Old Wang back first.
"What are you trying to do?" Wang Tao stopped." You can't go to the few barbershops on the street. The places are small, and you're all familiar with them. If one day you're recognized and stuck to them, it'll be too late to cry.”
"What are you thinking? Even if you want to find that kind of person, you should at least go to a decent hotel in the county. Just take a few dark hair salons on the street.”
"Why? Is there someone treating us for this?”Old Wang heard something in a daze and asked with a smile," Who's treating? I'll go too."”
"Look, hurry up and get Old Wang back. Otherwise, something will definitely happen to him on the streets.”Pan Baoshan waved his hands." Wang Tao, I'll leave this matter to you."”
"Alright, go ahead." Wang Tao pulled Old Wang away.
Pan Baoshan waited for a while before leaving. He didn't want to enter the courtyard with Wang Tao and Old Wang. Old Jiang, who was guarding the gate, loved to stir up trouble. If he saw the three of them walking back together, he didn't know what he would say behind their backs. Of course, this was only one aspect. Pan Baoshan also wanted to find someone to wait and see what Liang Yanfa and Zheng Jinping would do after they returned. However, it was almost eleven o'clock. He did not know if they had already returned, or if they would not return at all tonight.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, Pan Baoshan saw that the lights in Zheng Jinping's dormitory were not on. It seemed that she was not there. In other words, as long as they came back tonight, they would definitely be able to wait for her.
It was not difficult to choose the best place to squat. According to the usual practice, every time Liang Yanfa came back, the car would always stop beside the newspaper column. Pan Baoshan hid behind a flower bed not far away, sitting on the edge of the flower bed and smoking as he waited.
When it was past twelve, Pan Baoshan lost his patience. It seemed that they would not come back. He had no choice. He couldn't wait like a fool until the rabbit came. It was better to go back and rest early. Pan Baoshan stood up and threw away the cigarette butt. He patted his butt and went back. After washing up, he climbed into bed and lay down lazily. What happened today was too unexpected, and it made him quite nervous. He needed to relax and have a good sleep.
He didn't expect that he would suffer from insomnia even after relaxing too much. Pan Baoshan tossed and turned in bed for more than an hour, but he still couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he simply got up to smoke. "Looks like I haven't really relaxed yet. I'm still in a state of excitement.”Pan Baoshan lit a cigarette and smoked in the dark. The fiery red smoke flickered like little stars. Pan Baoshan raised his arm and shook the cigarette butt. He watched Little Star row around and gradually felt sleepy. However, just as he was about to fall into a daze, he heard a few light footsteps on the stairs. Pan Baoshan's first reaction was that Zheng Jinping had just returned.
Pan Baoshan tiptoed out of the dormitory door and looked at the second floor. As expected, the lights in Zheng Jinping's dormitory were on, and so were the lights in Liang Yanfa's dormitory on the third floor. "Unfortunately, I didn't wait for a while longer." Pan Baoshan secretly felt regretful.
There was no time to think about it for half a second. The lights in Zheng Jinping's room went out. Immediately after, Liang Yanfa's room was also pitch black.
"Damn it, Liu Jiangyan is also afraid that others will gossip if they find out.”Pan Baoshan shrunk his arms and was about to sneak into the house when the lights in Liu Jiangyan's dormitory lit up.
Soon, the door opened. Liu Jiangyan walked to the end of the corridor in her slippers and went to the toilet.
Pan Baoshan wanted to go back to his room, but he couldn't move. For some reason, he pricked up his ears, hoping to hear a clatter.
"Kid, what are you doing standing here like a utility pole in the middle of the night?”
This voice scared Pan Baoshan out of his wits. When he saw that it was Wang Tao, he immediately flew into a rage." You f * cking scared me to death! Why are you acting like a ghost?!"”
"Hehe." Wang Tao was not angry." Are you angry from embarrassment? It was too disgraceful to eavesdrop on Liu Jiangyan going to the toilet.”
"Who said that? I'm going to the toilet too."
"The toilet is at the end of the corridor. Why are you standing here?”
"You didn't wash your hands after going to the toilet?"
"I've never seen you wash before."
"Bullshit!"
"Are you really scared? You haven't recovered yet?" Wang Tao continued softly," Hurry up and enter the house. It won't be good if others see you later."”
Pan Baoshan gritted his teeth and turned on the lights. Wang Tao followed behind with a smile.
"Damn it, I was almost scared to death by you." Pan Baoshan took a sip of water. Looking at Wang Tao's smug face, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Coincidentally, I also got up to go to the toilet. I saw you standing there and made a joke. I didn't expect to scare you.”Wang Tao chuckled." Alright, it's late. Go to sleep."”
Wang Tao closed the door and left. Pan Baoshan felt a chill on his back. Wang Tao's words about him eavesdropping on Liu Jiangyan's visit to the toilet were like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. He felt threatened. Thinking back to what Wang Tao had said to him, he could be sure that some methods would also be used on him. For example, he could grab a few things on him now and use them when he needed them later.
"I was careless, I was really careless. I almost let Wang Tao take advantage of me. It seems that in the future, other than my parents, I can't trust anyone, even if it's my best friend.”Pan Baoshan had made up his mind and was in a much better mood, but he was still not calm because Huang Kaijian might know about the approval of the by-election list tomorrow. He could not predict his reaction. Would he appease and rope him in like Liang Yanfa?
