Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Chapter 440: I don't know what politeness is

If you want to prove that Teacher Qiu is a spy, all you need to do is find strong evidence.

However, it is very difficult to prove that he is not.

If you can't find evidence to prove that he is a spy, it doesn't mean that he is really innocent, it just means that you haven't found the evidence.

From the very beginning, they arranged to monitor Teacher Qiu, in fact, they wanted to convict him. If they can't find evidence, they may replace him with a new person to continue monitoring Teacher Qiu.

"What should we do then?" Lin Qingyu sighed slightly, "This is quite troublesome."

"That's how espionage works. Oftentimes, spies are in a silent period and won't take any action, so you won't be able to find any flaws. Especially now that it's a peaceful time, they're even less active. Just be patient and investigate."

Xie Jin spoke up.

Lin Qingyu also knew this truth, so he put the matter aside and talked about something more joyful.

"The village will be showing a movie in two days. It's one of the big events of the year. I guess you haven't seen it yet. Let me open your eyes."

"What good movies can there be?" Xie Jin asked.

"The East is Red or Strike Back the Invaders, they've been shown many times." Lin Qingyu herself wasn't sure, "When we have time, we can go to the county cinema to watch them, there are more choices."

"Okay, let's go watch the movie showing in the village first," said Xie Jin.

-

These days, movies are shown outdoors in the village. Everyone brings small stools and sits together to watch. Even if it’s very cold outside in winter, it doesn’t matter, because everyone feels excited.

Although the movie was being shown in Xinghua Village today, people from the surrounding villages who had nothing to do would still run a long way to come and watch it.

Even though they knew all the lines in the movie by heart, they still liked to watch it over and over again, chasing the projectionist around the commune's villages.

There is no other reason, because there is no other form of entertainment and there is too little spiritual food.

This also means that projectionist is actually a very popular job, especially when coming to the countryside to show screenings, the villagers will always want to entertain you.

In one of the rich villages, when the projectionist left, they would tie up two live chickens and let the projectionist take them.

Even if the village is poor, we would still give them a small basket of eggs as a token of our appreciation.

Dong Daming, who came to Xinghua Village to screen films today, works in the county cinema and is a familiar veteran projectionist. Everyone calls him Master Dong.

"Master Dong, come, have a cigarette." Lin Xuejun saw him, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Dong Daming.

"Oh, this is Sanhua cigarettes, such a good cigarette, a box is 32 cents." Dong Daming looked at the cigarette box he took out and immediately exclaimed,

"I've never been willing to buy such good cigarettes! Today I'm lucky enough to follow Captain Lin."

"I can't bear to buy such expensive cigarettes myself. My son-in-law bought them for me." Lin Xuejun said with a look of both wanting to show off and disdain.

"A month ago, my son-in-law was named an advanced worker and the commune gave him a five-yuan reward. He insisted on buying me two boxes of expensive cigarettes. I refused to let him buy them and insisted on honoring me, his father-in-law."

Dong Damin,...

I could tell that giving cigarettes was just a matter of convenience, and he actually wanted to show off his son-in-law.

"You're a really good son-in-law! You're willing to buy such expensive cigarettes for your father-in-law, so they must be good for your daughter." Dong Daming lit the cigarette, took a puff, and began to praise him in a very polite way.

"It's not so bad. I'm a live-in son-in-law. I'm not as good as anyone else, but I'm better than anyone else. Let's observe him a little more and hold the wedding banquet in the second half of next year." Lin Xuejun said with a smile.

"You have so many sons, why do you want a live-in son-in-law? Oh, in the whole commune, there is no father who loves his daughter as much as you do."

Dong Daming came here three or four times a year and was familiar with the situation at Li Xuejun's home, so he spoke immediately.

"My daughter is so smart and beautiful, of course I have to love her!" said Lin Xuejun.

Dong Daming thought about Lin Qingyu's appearance, smiled and nodded.

The two were talking when Teacher Qiu came over with Hu Zi.

"Teacher Qiu is here to watch the movie, too." Lin Xuejun greeted him with a smile, and then said to Hu Zi, "Erdan is at home and hasn't come out yet. Go to his house and play with Erdan."

"Dad, go play with Brother Erdan." Hu Zi immediately turned his head to look at Teacher Qiu.

"Isn't Erdan going to watch the movie? Let's wait for him here." Teacher Qiu said, "I thought it would be lively today and I can come and play with Erdan again, so I brought Huzi out with me."

"He should come, but he has a lot to do, so he might come later..." Before Lin Xuejun finished his words, Xie Jin, Lin Qingyu and Xie Wenyuan came over.

"Brother Erdan." When Hu Zi saw him, he swung his strong body and ran towards Xie Wenyuan like a moving small tank.

Hu Zi is twenty years old and is 1.79 meters tall. In this era, he is definitely tall. Moreover, he is quite strong and is one of the rare strong and fat people in this era.

Because we were poor, we basically didn’t have enough to eat, and almost everyone was thin. It was just a matter of seeing who was darker and thinner.

"Brother Erdan!" Hu Zi stretched out his arms while running, wanting to give Xie Wenyuan a loving hug.

"Hu Zi, stop! Stop now!" Xie Wenyuan stretched out his hand and shouted.

Xie Wenyuan was really afraid that he would suddenly pounce on him, and he would not be able to stop the car, and would fall on him and break his ribs.

Xie Jin was ready to rescue the situation. If Hu Zi didn't stop, he would pull Hu Zi back. However, Hu Zi still stopped and looked at Xie Wenyuan with a silly grin.

"Good boy." Xie Wenyuan stepped forward and raised his hand to touch his head, but because of the huge height difference, he had to give up and patted his soft belly instead.

"Our Huzi is really obedient and sensible. Come, brother will give you some candy."

"I have candy, give it to your brother." Hu Zi also took out candy from his pocket and handed it to Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Wenyuan,...

Okay, this isn’t the first time that Hu Zi has fed me.

"Let's exchange, you eat mine and I eat yours, understand?" Xie Wenyuan stuffed his candy into Erdan's hand, "It tastes better this way."

"Hehe, it's delicious. Brother is right." Hu Zi smiled, peeled the candy and put it in his mouth, and gave Xie Wenyuan a thumbs up.

"Hu Zi has become smarter and more sensible. He now gives thumbs up to praise others." Lin Qingyu said with a smile.

"My brother taught me." said Hu Zi.

Xie Wenyuan immediately raised his chin with a proud look. Yes, it was he who taught him. Isn’t that impressive?

"Our Erdan is so awesome!" Xie Jin immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised him with a smile.

Xie Wenyuan kicked him lightly and said, "Don't call me Erdan, this compliment will be more sincere."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and Teacher Qiu came over, followed by Lin Xuejun and Dong Daming.

"Hu Zi has made great progress under Wen Yuan's company and is now much more sensible than before." Teacher Qiu smiled and touched Xie Wen Yuan's head.

"When the teacher sees Hu Zi like this, no matter how many times I say thank you to you, it's not enough."

"No need to say thank you. Just don't touch my head like that next time. I'm already short, and if you keep touching me I won't grow taller."

Xie Wenyuan slapped Teacher Qiu's hand away and said seriously.

Teacher Qiu agreed with a smile.

"These two are..." Dong Daming looked at Xie Jin, then at Xie Wenyuan, and finally looked not at Lin Xuejun, but at Teacher Qiu.

"This is Mr. Xie Jin, my colleague who teaches physical education and is also Mr. Lin Qingyu's fiancé. This is Xie Wenyuan, my student. Hu Zi likes to play with him."

Teacher Qiu began to introduce.

"Oh, this is Captain Lin's son-in-law. He is indeed a handsome man." Dong Daming smiled at Xie Jin, and praised Xie Wenyuan for being clever, saying that he looked like a smart child.

"My son Erdan is smarter than his brother. He is a little prodigy. After the Chinese New Year, he will skip a grade and go directly to the fifth grade."

Lin Xuejun smiled and praised, saying that Erdan's tone was similar to that of his eldest grandson Xuanxuan.

In fact, Xie Wenyuan is now the same age as Xuanxuan.

"Little prodigy?! Oh my, there's a little prodigy in your Xinghua Village. Didn't the newspaper in this county interview and report on it?"

Dong Daming frowned slightly, but the next moment his eyes suddenly brightened and he asked in amazement.

"I just realized that Erdan used to be a little fool." Lin Xuejun said with a smile.

"...Really? It sounds even more interesting this way." Dong Daming said in amazement, then squatted down to the same level as Xie Wenyuan and asked him with a smile,

"Erdan, uncle wants to test you. If you answer correctly, I'll give you candy."

"I don't like candy, let's change it to other rewards." Xie Wenyuan said.

"Okay, then tell me, what reward do you want?" Dong Daming asked with a smile.

"Just give me one dollar." Xie Wenyuan said.

"Erdan, just twenty cents is enough. You asked for one dollar right away, which is too much." Lin Xuejun frowned.

"Everyone says that the projectionist is very generous. This uncle only paid one dollar, which is just a small amount," said Xie Wenyuan.

"Hahaha, this kid is really smart." Dong Daming said with a smile.

"Okay, if you can answer all ten of my questions, I'll give you a dollar as a reward. If you get one question wrong, I'll deduct ten cents."

"No problem." Xie Wenyuan agreed.

Next, Dong Daming began to give Xie Wenyuan questions, ranging from mathematics and Chinese to history, geography and biology. In short, the questions were very broad and became increasingly difficult.

However, none of the questions stumped Xie Wenyuan, and he answered all ten questions correctly.

Because in addition to his own accumulation, Xie Wenyuan has been reading books of this era every day in the past few months to increase his knowledge points that he did not know before.

If you want to be a child prodigy, you can't let your reputation fall apart, right?

Xie Wenyuan still has high demands on himself and has a heavy image as an idol, so he works very hard without Xie Jin's urging.

After the Q&A session, Dong Daming looked at Xie Wenyuan in amazement, "This kid is truly a child prodigy! How old is he? How does he know so much?"

"You don't understand the affairs of child prodigies. Since he is a child prodigy, it is not something that a mortal like you can understand." Xie Wenyuan said deliberately in an arrogant tone.

“……”Dong Daming.

There was a gleam of surprise in Xie Wenyuan's eyes as he looked at him.

"One dollar, give it to me." Xie Wenyuan said.

I finally caught a fat sheep and slaughtered it, I can't deny my debt.

Dong Daming took out ten dimes and gave them to him.

Xie Wenyuan handed it to Hu Zi, "Here, this is what I earned for you, you can buy eggs with it."

"Thank you, brother. Hehe." Hu Zi stuffed a stack of dimes into his pocket and said, "Buy it, let's eat together."

Teacher Qiu originally said not to give Hu Zi money, but after hearing this, he held it back.

Forget it, since the two kids like it, let’s just do it this way. I’ll buy more things for Wenyuan later.

"Teacher Qiu, you have found a good helper." Dong Daming said to Teacher Qiu happily.

Teacher Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "He is indeed a good helper. Hu Zi has made a lot of progress following him."

"Okay, everyone is almost here, Master Dong, go and show the movie for everyone." Lin Xuejun looked at the big screen and saw that it was already full of people, so he urged Dong Daming.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Teacher Qiu, come here and help me." Dong Daming said.

Teacher Qiu responded, and then said to Hu Zi, "You play with your brother first, Dad will come to you later."

Hu Zi nodded and grabbed Xie Wenyuan's small hand, perfectly realizing the big hand holding the small hand.

Xie Jin looked at the backs of Teacher Qiu and Dong Daming as they left, his eyes thoughtful.

Xie Wenyuan pulled Hu Zi's hand, asked him to squat down, and then leaned forward to ask him in a low voice,

"Huzi, have you ever seen the man who gave us one dollar before?"

"I have met you." Hu Zi nodded.

"Have you met him many times? One, two, three, or one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or more and more?" Xie Wenyuan asked him again in a low voice.

This is the method Xie Wenyuan taught Hu Zi. Once, or one, two, or three times represents a small number of times. It is something that happens occasionally and will not be seen often by Hu Zi.

If Hu Zi could count eight times, that would be too many and it would happen often.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..." Hu Zi said as he counted on his fingers. When he reached ten, he stopped counting and just gestured with his hands, "More, more."

"Hu Zi is so smart! Come, brother will give you a candy as a reward." Xie Wenyuan was able to touch his big head this time, and he rubbed it gently with a smile.

"Hehe...Hu Zi is smart." Hu Zi happily took the candy and grinned.

"Amazing!" Lin Qingyu looked at this scene and gave Xie Wenyuan a thumbs up. "I want to learn your way of communication from you."

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind. Let's learn from each other and make progress together." Xie Wenyuan said immediately. He sounded humble but his expression was full of pride.

Xie Jin smiled in a good mood because of Hu Zi's evidence and their feeling just now. This Dong Daming was very suspicious and might be a clue to break through.

Have more contact.

Isn’t this a coincidence? Dong Daming also wanted to communicate more with them. The two sides hit it off immediately and had a lively conversation after watching a movie.

It was Xie Jin’s first time watching a movie and he spent the entire time chatting. Even after the movie was over, no one knew what the story was about.

"Next time you come to the county cinema to watch a movie, just call me and I will give you free tickets." Dong Daming said with a smile.

"That's so embarrassing." Xie Jin said with a smile, "We were planning to go there every week."

Dong Damin,...

You are just like your Erdan brother, you don't know what politeness is.
