Chapter 290 Special Advisor
"Then I'll go see if your mother has finished cooking."
Dad looked at the approaching vehicle, then looked at Du Ruo, and without saying anything, he took the things in Du Ruo's hand and walked into the house.
"Wife~"
Du Ruo originally thought that he wanted to say a few more words to Xiang Yuanyuan, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Xiang Yuanyuan as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I'll go in too, otherwise it looks like Yaya will get beaten again."
Xiang Yuanyuan smiled at Du Ruo, then helped her father take the things that he couldn't carry, and walked into the house.
Du Ruo looked at the two people and didn't ask any more questions, leaving enough space for herself, and she felt touched.
"Master Du~Happy New Year!"
The military vehicle stopped at the door. Fox got out of the car, saw Du Ruo, greeted him and walked in.
"Happy New Year, come in for a cup of tea?"
Du Ruo also responded with the same sentence and extended an invitation, but although he invited her with his mouth, his body did not move at all.
He knew in his heart that the other party was definitely not here to wish him a happy new year. If there was nothing wrong, the other party would never come to see him. He just didn't understand why someone from the military would come to see him.
"There's no need for tea. I'm here on a mission this time."
The fox smiled, then took out a brown paper bag and handed it to Du Ruo:
"Here are some certificates and documents. Please receive them and confirm them."
When Du Ruo saw the brown paper bag, he was actually a little reluctant. He remembered that last time he had a bag like this, he had to go to the United States and was shot several times before returning.
Although the harvest was good, Du Ruo is no longer the same as he was then. He is already married, and neither he nor Xiang Yuanyuan wants him to take risks again.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to become a killing machine for others. Although there has been a saying since ancient times: learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family, the times are different now.
Unless it is related to family and national affairs, he just wants to be with his family in peace and harmony, and hone his martial arts. Of course, it would be even better if he could transcend it.
But Du Ruo thought about it and took it.
Looking at the bright red word "Confidential" on the brown paper bag, Du Ruo opened it without hesitation.
There were indeed some certificates and documents inside. When I took them out, the first thing I saw was an invitation letter.
Du Ruo took a look and the general meaning was that the higher-ups had decided to visit and comfort a certain naval unit, and now they had specially invited "Du Ruo, special adviser to the Ministry of Public Security" to attend.
"?"
Du Ruo looked at the bright red seal on the document, especially his title in the letter, and couldn't help but look up at the fox standing upright beside him.
"The answer should be below. If you are willing to participate, I will come to pick you up tomorrow. If you don't want to, you can tell me directly so that I can go back and report."
The fox simply pointed to some documents under the file and spoke with a smile.
Du Ruo lowered his head again. The certificate showed that it was a special adviser to the Ministry of Public Security. Du Ruo looked at the national emblem and title on it, but there was no specific position or responsibilities. He thought it should be just an honorary title.
"Who will be attending?"
After confirming that he was not mistaken, Du Ruo began to ask.
I originally thought it would be some kind of mission, but I didn't expect it to be something like this and an invitation.
But after thinking for a long time, he finally figured out something. Maybe... this is also related to his performance during this period.
"I don't know about that. I'm only responsible for conveying the information, but I don't know the specific details."
The fox shook her head. In fact, she didn't even know what was in the cowhide bag. She was just conveying the instructions.
"Okay, I'll take these things. I'll have to trouble you to pick me up tomorrow."
In the end, Du Ruo nodded and agreed. It was useless to guess out of thin air. It would be better to go there in person to find out what the specific matter was. Then everything would become clear.
As for whether this was a trap set up by the higher-ups to deal with him, Du Ruo felt that it was unlikely to be the case.
He didn't think that what he showed could make people so fearful. What's more, if they really wanted to deal with him, it might be more troublesome if he didn't go, so this possibility was definitely not high.
"Okay, then I'll be there on time at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
The fox confirmed that Du Ruo was willing to go over, nodded, turned around and left.
Only Du Ruo was left to put all the documents, certificates and things like work badges back into the brown paper bag.
After doing all this, Du Ruo walked into the house.
It was actually just two minutes. When Du Ruo returned to the living room, he saw nothing special when he came in, except Yaya~
"Uncle, mom is going to beat me~ wuwu~ with such a big stick."
As soon as Yaya saw Du Ruo coming in, she ran over quickly, hugged Du Ruo's legs, and looked at Du Ruo with tears in her eyes.
"Please take this."
Du Ruo first handed the bag in his hand to Xiang Yuanyuan, then squatted down and looked at Yaya.
"Why did your mother hit you?"
Although Du Ruo already knew the reason, he still wanted to ask, mainly because he wanted Yaya to tell him the mistake she made herself.
"Because Maomao and I pulled up the cabbages in the garden."
Yaya howled and tried hard to squeeze out some tears, but after blinking hard a few times, no tears came out.
"???"
Only Maomao, who was lying on the ground wagging his tail, turned around and looked at Yaya in shock, as if to say: What has this got to do with me? ? ? "Look, the cabbages were planted by grandma with great effort. From sowing the seeds, applying fertilizers, to growing them, grandma took care of them all with great effort.
You pulled them out all at once, and we couldn't finish them, so it was wasted, right? So you did something wrong, didn't you? "
Du Ruo ignored Maomao. In fact, just as his father said, it was just a small matter, but it was still necessary for the education of the child.
Even if they were naughty as children and used firecrackers to fry cabbages, they would not dare to fry their own cabbages... In short, it is wrong, and we should respect the fruits of labor.
"Ah."
Yaya nodded, and seemed to realize her mistake at this moment, and tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes.
"Isn't that punishment justified? But not being able to eat fish is really too harsh."
Du Ruo spoke softly, but in fact, when he saw Yaya's tearful eyes, he was still quite soft-hearted.
"Uh-huh, that's too harsh!"
Yaya nodded repeatedly and looked at Du Ruo, as if she had found the organization, and used the word "too" many times to describe the severity.
"Well, there are still two choices. The first one is to have a beating, and the second one is to take a math test. You choose one."
Du Ruo looked around and saw a math test paper on the small table next to him. He decided to use it as a punishment.
"Then...how do you fight?"
Who would have known that after listening to it, Yaya thought seriously for a while, frowned, and asked Du Ruo a question.
"The stick, the one in your mother's hand..."
Du Ruo was speechless.
"Then...then...then let's give him a beating."
Yaya gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and finally decided to beat him up.
"Okay, sister, go fight outside. It looks like you are... hopeless."
Du Ruo covered her face with one hand and waved at her sister Du Na with the other.
Then there was a burst of ghosts howling outside...
However, after seeing the conversation between Du Ruo and Yaya just now, not to mention other people, even Maomao had no interest in going out to protect Yaya.
No beating was ever received in vain.
……
"The Chinese New Year is almost over, what do you think of your wedding?"
At the dinner table, Dad asked Du Ruo a question.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Du Ruo.
"What else can I think? Yuanyuan and I have discussed it and decided to just have a normal wedding in the village. Yuanyuan's family will come over, and then some elders from the village. No one else will be invited."
Du Ruo picked up a large chopstick of stir-fried cabbage and put it into his mouth after he finished speaking. He also picked up a chopstick of cold cabbage for Xiang Yuanyuan, and then picked up a chopstick of meat from the stewed cabbage, pork and vermicelli and gave it to Yaya, whose eyes were still a little swollen.
"Won't it be a big deal?"
Dad glanced at Xiang Yuanyuan and to be honest, he had not expected to hold such a simple wedding as Du Ruo had said.
During the last Chinese New Year, the money in the bank card that Xiang Yuanyuan gave to her mother made them sure that Du Ruo was not lying. Perhaps Du Ruo had really earned enough money to spend for a lifetime. He originally thought that Du Ruo would have a lavish wedding.
I didn't expect the answer to be like this.
"Dad, this is a decision made by the two of us. We will live the rest of our lives on our own. Instead of making a big fuss, it's better to live our own lives. If there's a lot of noise, it's not good."
Xiang Yuanyuan spoke up at this time mainly because she likes her current peaceful life and is afraid that a big event will attract those people who come like flies to grab traffic. Those people are harmless, but disgusting.
"Okay, just don't feel wronged."
Dad looked at the two of them, finally nodded, and said no more.
After the meal, Du Na and her brother-in-law stayed at home, while Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan drove back to the B&B.
"Have you read that document bag?"
After returning to the rented house, Du Ruo sat on the sofa and asked.
"No, isn't it written as confidential? So I didn't read it."
Xiang Yuanyuan was originally packing her luggage. When she heard what Du Ruo said, she took out a cowhide bag from her bag and stood aside.
"Take a look at me. I may have to go out tomorrow. I don't know when I will be back. For the Lantern Festival, you should spend it with your parents."
Du Ruo took Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and asked her to sit on the sofa with her.
Hearing Du Ruo say this, Xiang Yuanyuan paused her hand that was about to open the cowhide bag, turned to look at Du Ruo, frowned, and for the first time, an unhappy look appeared on her face.
"What are you thinking? It's not what you think. It's..."
As soon as Du Ruo saw Xiang Yuanyuan's expression, he immediately knew what the other party was thinking. She was simply worried that Du Ruo was going to kill someone like last time.
So he put his arm around her waist, asked her to sit on his lap, and explained what had happened.
