My Life with Narration-Chapter 327 - 324: Then I Don’t Want It

Some people or dogs tend to overestimate their abilities. That’s the top goose of the countryside, not a Yangtze crocodile!

The little girl grabbed a broom and charged forward, and the result was predictable. In the end, both the person and the dog came back crying.

Da Huang whimpered, the little girl wiped tears from her small face, clutching her little behind. It was obvious that the combat power of a child and a golden retriever was no match for two big geese.

But things took a turn. Early the next morning, the suburban landlord’s country’s villa was filled with a delicious aroma, and on the table was a famous Northeastern dish: stewed goose in an iron pot.

The little girl was gnawing on a goose leg with oil all over her mouth, and Da Huang squatted on the ground with a goose leg in the bowl in front of him, eating happily. Both the person and the dog seemed to have forgotten about being beaten and crying over the geese yesterday.

It turned out that the little girl’s grandparents saw their granddaughter being bullied so terribly and had no choice but to approach the neighbor, spend some money, and put the two geese on the dining table, while also venting their granddaughter’s anger.

Old people, you know, love their grandchildren especially.

On the other hand, ever since Wen Nanqing returned home, she didn’t care about anything. Even when her daughter was beaten by the geese, she just stood by giggling.

After all, back home, with her parents there, she didn’t have to worry at all. She even had the leisure to fight over duck legs with her daughter, but with the two elders around, she couldn’t win.

No matter how old you get, as long as you come home to your parents, you’ll turn into a child again. Wen Nanqing was exceptionally comfortable at the moment.

If it weren’t for the little girl having to go to school, she would’ve loved to stay at home for a year or two. There’s no need to do housework or lift a finger for meals and clothes, even immortals wouldn’t trade this life.

"You lazy girl, came home and do nothing, don’t even look after your child, what are you thinking? Go wash the dishes!" Wen’s mother said angrily to her daughter.

"Wash the dishes? Please no, I can help walk the dog!" Wen Nanqing quickly replied.

People, you see, as soon as they come home, they become lazy, don’t want to move, don’t want to move at all. Except for eating, she didn’t even want to get out of bed. She didn’t have to watch the kid, didn’t need to cook, isn’t this enjoyment?

"How could walking the dog come to you? Your dad has long reserved that job." Wen’s mother looked at her husband playing with Da Huang’s head and spat.

Upon hearing this, Wen’s father smiled: "Finally, there’s some liveliness at home, how can you not let me move around. This dog is really something, very smart, even knows how to steal eggs, but it can’t guard the house. Couldn’t even beat two geese, how was it raised. Granddaughter, how about grandpa take you and Da Huang to catch fish later?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately raised both hands: "Yes, let’s go catch fish!"

Da Huang: "Woof woof woof" [Isn’t it just catching fish, finally I have a place to shine today, indeed, this family still counts on me, sigh!]

To this, Wen Nanqing helplessly said: "Dad, Da Huang is a pet dog, do you think it’s like the big wolf dogs we used to raise in the village? Don’t underestimate it, it’s an internet celebrity dog with millions of followers."

Old people, you see, still maintain the old thinking about dogs, guarding the house, being smart, barking when strangers come. Their biggest function is still eating leftovers, avoiding waste.

Upon hearing this, Wen’s father was momentarily stunned, looking at Da Huang in front of him, somewhat in disbelief: "This dog? A star?"

"Not a star... Well, almost!" Wen Nanqing sighed helplessly.

Even though Wen’s father had been in the real estate industry for decades, he was old now and couldn’t quite grasp the modern internet phenomena like internet celebrities, they dealt in actual businesses.

"Why did you bring the other person’s dog back when you just came home?" Wen’s mother glared at her daughter.

He had seen Da Huang and naturally knew it was Su Qing’s dog, but it wasn’t about disliking Da Huang, rather worried about troubling others.

"See how you’re talking! If I didn’t bring Da Huang back, would your granddaughter feel at ease coming back? Probably in a few days, she’d be clamoring to go back. With Da Huang here, she can stay a few more days."

In this regard, Wen’s mother thought it through and felt it made sense. Then she added a piece of meat to Da Huang’s bowl, instantly elevating its meal level.

"Next time, don’t just bring the dog back, what’s the use of that, bring the person! Bring Xiao Su back too, there’s room at home, let him stay for a few days!" Although Wen’s mother understood her daughter’s point, she still wouldn’t concede verbally.

"Mom, why would I bring Xiao Su back, unless Xiao Yi comes over, then maybe!"

Wen Nanqing naturally understood what her mother was thinking. It’s been so long yet they haven’t given up, that first impression was too impactful, they’ve even started thinking about her male friend.

Upon hearing this, Wen’s mother also sighed, thinking what a pity, she had met Su Qing, indeed a good kid, the most crucial part was that the little girl liked him.

"Xiao Su? Your brother called back a couple of days ago and talked about him, he’s a good kid. He’s Xiao Yi’s boyfriend, right? When you have time, bring Xiao Yi and that young guy back, last time he helped us out a lot, and this time he’s been running around, we haven’t thanked him yet, you hear?" Wen’s father added.

To be honest, among the whole family, he was the only one yet to meet Su Qing, so of course, he’s a bit curious. After all, his daughter is a major shareholder in Xiao Yi’s company, counting this time, that young man has helped them twice, you need to show some gratitude, don’t you? Plus, he wanted to meet this young man.

"What your dad says makes sense, did you hear that, you lazy girl?" Wen’s mother pinched her daughter and spat.

"Alright, alright, I heard, I’ll find some time to talk to them, okay?" Wen Nanqing was really feeling uncomfortable, what did she do to deserve this?

Hearing this, Wen’s mother nodded in satisfaction. After the meal, the two women tidied up the house, while Wen’s father, with his fishing gear in hand, took the little granddaughter and the dog, an old-timer and a youngster headed towards the riverside at the village entrance.

Looking at his setup, you can tell he’s also a fishing guy.

Meanwhile, Su Qing is lying on the office sofa; he didn’t go home at all yesterday.

Yesterday, when they discovered what looked like a homicide scene, a large team of police quickly arrived. After professional surveying and with the aid of specialized equipment, they quickly found traces of blood within the mud house. Especially after dark, the ground not far from the mud house glowed a faint blue after a luminol test.

Despite being three months after multiple heavy rains washed over it, they were still able to detect a significant amount of past blood presence.

If it weren’t for modern technology, the naked eye wouldn’t see anything unusual about the ground.

Later, Zhou Ning rushed over to confirm the bone fragment was indeed a human finger bone, instantly increasing the likelihood that this was the scene of the crime.

This discovery excited everyone; they promptly cordoned off the area around the mud house. By the time they got back, it was already past eleven at night.

Some even stayed in the village overnight, making do with sleeping in their cars, finally seeing some hope, and everyone was quite excited.

However, Su Qing and others returned but had to hold a late-night meeting to summarize and ponder the case. Of course, his main reason for not going home was that he learned from the narration that his mom would visit early the next morning. Instead, he chose to work overtime here and wait until the storm passed.

He also contacted Shen Yi and knew she was now living at Auntie’s house, so they were thinking along the same lines.

At half-past nine in the morning, Du Qiang and Li Zijun opened the door together.

"Whoa, you really didn’t go home yesterday, huh? I thought you were joking!"

Li Zijun froze for a moment, looking at him with some confusion, "Did you rough it out here all night? That’s not like your style."

In response, Su Qing said weakly, "Not really. Yesterday I found a motel nearby to crash for the night. I just checked out at eight this morning and came here to take a nap. Did you all go home yesterday?"

Both nodded, and Du Qiang laughed, "We’re in the criminal investigation department. Staying up late is routine for us; we have dorms here!"

Su Qing: ...

These sly guys never told him. If he had known, he wouldn’t have gone to a shabby motel nearby.

"What’s the situation? Hey? Why did you guys come only now?" Su Qing said, looking at his phone and realizing it’s already half-past nine.

"We’ve already finished meeting. You think we’re like you?" Li Zijun gave him a sideways glance and said.

With yesterday’s major discovery, the tech division’s officers worked overtime, pulling an all-nighter, just to get results early. They certainly didn’t slack off.

Everyone had gathered in the meeting room by eight in the morning to begin discussions. A murder and dismemberment case, even in a populous city like Jiangcheng City, hadn’t been seen for several years, making it extremely heinous, second only to serial killings.

"You finished the meeting already? Why didn’t anyone call me?" Su Qing said, obviously not serious. Even if someone had called him, he might not have woken up.

Just then, Lao Lin’s voice came from the doorway, "Calling you was unnecessary—you’re just a consultant. But you’ve made an impression on the chief this time. I heard you discovered an important clue, and the chief praised you. Keep it up; after this, your position might change!"

[Due to your significant participation in criminal cases as a consultant and your important contributions, there’s a high chance your position will change after this case ends, possibly even becoming permanent!]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was momentarily stunned. Was he up for promotion? While pleasantly surprised, he immediately thought about his situation and quickly asked.

"Captain Lin, am I getting an official position?"

Lin Chengcai nodded, "Maybe. If you perform well, perhaps by the provincial exam later this year, you’ll be specially recruited and get a formal position. Then you can wear the police uniform."

In response, Su Qing quickly asked, "Captain Lin, is there a position with the official title where I can wear the uniform, yet still keep my status as a special consultant and not have to come to work regularly?"

Lin Chengcai: ???

"What do you mean?"

"Boss, he wants to know if he can become a full-fledged officer while still coming and going as he pleases like now," Li Zijun smirked, translating on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengcai gave him a look. Seeing his enthusiastic nod, he glared, "What are you dreaming about? You think the police department is your home? If you want a formal position, you have to follow the rules once you have a badge!"

Su Qing: "Then I don’t want it!"

Everyone: ...
