Chapter 114: Carrier Pigeon: A child with a mother is a treasure (8)
【Cuckoo~】
At around two o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and I shouted twice in alertness.
The little fat boy who was grinding his teeth and farting in the bedroom was still grinding his teeth and farting, and was sleeping very soundly.
The starling had its head tucked under its wings, but when it heard the pigeon calling, it got angry and said, "Gah!"
[Myna, stop making noise! ]
In the dark night, the door was suddenly opened by a key, and the visitor scolded in a low voice.
She took off her mask, revealing a thin layer of snow on her eyelashes and her nose was red from the cold. It was Wang Fengying.
She took off her yellow robe quietly and shook off countless snow particles on the small piece of ground at the door.
【Cuckoo~】
I flapped my wings and flew over, landed on her shoulder, and rubbed her cold face with my head affectionately.
Thank you for your hard work, Fengying~
Seeing that it was being attentive for no reason, the starling rolled its eyes in annoyance and tucked its head under its wings again. It was a female gorilla and didn't want to play or act coquettishly, so it went back to sleep for a nap.
Wang Fengying grinned silently, washed her hands repeatedly with sulfur soap, dried them, and then went back to the room carrying the pigeon.
The heating in the room was turned on high, and the little fat boy kicked off the quilt, revealing half of his butt.
[If he were in the south, he would have caught a cold long ago! Why hasn’t his habit of kicking the quilt improved even as he’s grown up?! ]
【Cuckoo~】
That’s right, I won’t kick the quilt, so I don’t have to worry about it~
Wang Fengying squatted beside the bed, staring at her son's chubby face in a daze, until the alarm set on her watch vibrated and she stood up abruptly.
It’s 3:10, time to go to the wholesale market to buy vegetables.
Before leaving, she gave instructions to the pigeons that were staring at her eagerly.
【Help me take care of my house! 】
【Cuckoo~】
OK. ヽ(￣▽￣)?
Three days passed in a flash, and a long queue formed in the corridor on the second floor of the Chengnan Urban Management Office in Baoding, Hebei.
Li Pandi arrived early and stood in the second seat.
The door of Office 201 has not been opened yet. According to regulations, the door will not be opened before the designated time.
The time clock was in the lobby on the first floor. A few people in blue clothes were chatting there. From time to time, they pointed at the long queue on the second floor, with unconcealable arrogance in their tone.
[Hey, big sister, your thing was also confiscated?! You look young, you came here alone?! ]
Li Pandi put his hand in his pocket, in which was the two thousand yuan in cash that he had prepared yesterday afternoon.
When she first started setting up a stall, her tricycle was confiscated by the urban management, and the fine was 800 yuan...
Now two years have passed, and the medical insurance has been increasing every year, so the fine must have also increased in price...
As for how much, it’s hard to say. Anyway, two thousand is the limit. If it’s higher, she will definitely walk away and would rather not have the car.
[Well, it’s okay, I live nearby! ]
When people interact with each other, it is taboo to talk about deep things with people you just met. Li Pandi was not sure what the person asking the question was thinking, so he told a little lie even though he lived very far away.
[Look, big sister, I drove a truck here. If it’s inconvenient for you, you can ask me to help you haul your stuff back. The price is negotiable, and I can get some money back.]
Li Pandi: ...Keep smiling, this is a good thing that comes to your doorstep.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the time clock downstairs started beeping, and the people in blue clothes finally took their seats and started working.
What's more, the accounting staff also wore blue clothes and were petite. When they walked through a long line of people with an average height of 1.8 to 1.9 meters, there was an eerie visual effect as if water-repellent beads broke through the tide and went into the deep sea.
【Come in one by one in order! 】
The man in blue clothes gave instructions and nodded to the eldest brother who was first in line.
Big Brother followed in.
[Beep! 】
The first thing I do when I get to work is to turn on the air conditioner, placing the outdoor unit outside, and it blows a gust of air.
Li Pandi's short hair was blown up.
The office door was ajar, and there was a layer of translucent curtain in the gap, so the shadows were dim and not very clear.
More than ten seconds later.
[Sizzle——]
Oh, this should be a receipt. I didn’t hear clearly how much the old man paid? !
[Go to the lobby downstairs to find Li Minglei, he will take you to find your car.]
[Okay, okay, thank you! ]
When the elder brother came out, he was so excited that he almost cried. His tricycle and the fried onion meat patties on it were all he and his wife hoped for in the next few decades. They couldn't be lost...
Li Pandi watched him and saw that his hands were shaking. The lightly copied receipt must have weighed ten thousand pounds.
【Next one comes in! 】
There was someone calling from inside, so Li Pandi quickly pushed the door open and a gust of warm wind blew in her face, lifting her short hair again. There were already a few white hairs on her temples, which were dazzling.
What's your name?
【Li Pandi.】
The other person was stunned, and looked at her sideways, with a hint of pity unconsciously revealed in his eyes. Most women with this name have not been well pampered by their families.
Well, she guessed right.
The Excel spreadsheet contained Li Pandi's relevant information and was sealed on the same day as required. Three days later, the confiscated car was still intact, but the donkey meat, stewed food, kneaded dough and pancakes in the basin inside had long gone bad.
[Well, the fine is 1,800 yuan, only cash is accepted, do you have it with you? ]
Li Pandi took a deep breath and her eyes suddenly turned cross-eyed. Two villains in her heart were fighting -
Are you able to see through things and see that I have two thousand in my pocket before I said that number? !
It didn't cost that much to customize this car...
I really don't want it anymore.
【Sorry, I didn’t bring it. 】
I don’t know what was wrong with him, but Li Pandi spoke out what was really in his heart.
The finance department was stunned, looked her up and down, and said, "Then go back and prepare, come back tomorrow."
Li Pandi didn't say yes or no, she turned around and left. When she passed by the person who had spoken to her before, the person looked surprised.
[What's wrong, sister? The car is not coming back?! This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't you let it go if I pay you?!]
[It's okay, brother, thank you! ]
Li Pandi left without stopping.
She wants to go to Beijing, she wants to find her son, now, immediately, right away!!!
The landlord, the old lady, was very unhappy about the garage being moved out and she refused to return the money. The rent was 600 yuan a month and the deposit was 2,000 yuan, which she had put in a time deposit for five years and could not take out.
Li Pandi curled her lips. Ever since the old lady ridiculed her for almost not being able to pay the rent due to poor business due to mask-related issues, she knew what kind of bad temper the old lady had under her friendly appearance.
[Grandma Fang, when I rented your house, there was nothing in it. I decorated it myself, and you still took my deposit. If you don't return it now, I can just tear down all the decorations and make it back to its original state, okay?]
The old lady glared at him, [How dare you!!!]
[What am I afraid of? You may not know that I have been in prison before. Murder and arson are just trivial matters...]
The old lady clutched her cotton-padded jacket at her chest and took three steps back, with fear in her eyes.
[Just wait, I'm going to go back to my daughter-in-law to get the money, you have to move out today, I don't dare to stick with a murderer! ]
Li Pandi almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard her obviously cowardly shouting.
The only electrical appliance - the freezer, had long been disposed of by her, along with the few remaining frozen goods inside, and sold to a delicatessen owner she was familiar with. The owner smacked his lips, regretting that he would not be able to eat the steamed buns she made in the future.
Fortunately, she always strives to ensure that the donkey meat is fresh and she is very cost-conscious. She can stop the business at any time and not waste much material. However, she does feel a little sorry for her old customers who have silently supported her over the years.
