In the evening, the air that had settled all day was very turbid and smelled of filth.
At the east end of the street, a slovenly-dressed young man was walking forward with his head down and his steps calmly.
His face was very depressed, and there wasn't much light in his eyes. A tired day and the stench on his body had tortured him to the point where he didn't have much energy.
After get off work, there were many pedestrians on the road. These people were all neighbors, but no one greeted him. Instead, they avoided him.
Li Hao didn't pay attention, he wasn't looking at the people around him at all.
He was extremely sad during this period. Even if he was digging manure, not many people would dare to bully him when he had an uncle who was the director. He could even ask others to help him a little bit.
No matter how you calculate it, he is not the worst or the dirtiest. With this kind of mentality, even if he is digging manure, he can live a good life.
But it doesn't work anymore. Director Li was fucked and had no protection. Even Lao Wang, who usually digs manure, bullied him, let alone those serious workers.
That is to say, he is too dirty, otherwise he would not know how to be bullied, but the daily bad words are still inevitable.
Walking to the door of his house again, Li Hao felt that the world was a little cold for a moment. He couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. It seemed good to find a wife.
After all, he is a person who can accompany him for a lifetime. The two of them can share joys and sorrows together and sleep in the same bed together. It is not like now, when the prosperity is gone and after enough fun, it feels very empty.
Is Tong Jiaojiao okay?
Li Hao stood in front of his house and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
If you can’t survive, what kind of relationship can you talk about?
This woman is a bit more realistic, but how can a widow survive without being realistic?
If a life for the two of them could be guaranteed, this woman should be able to live with him for the rest of her life.
In Li Hao's opinion, Tong Jiaojiao is not that bad even if she is a bit petty. Maybe she is a little selfish, but who would a woman without a man consider herself?
As for the issue of immorality, that is not a problem.
Li Hao never thought about it at all.
There may not be academies in a city in ancient times, but there must be brothels. The men who visit the brothels don't care about these. They just want to have money or not.
In fact, they are all the same. In the next few years, schools will be available everywhere, but many women still think about going to hotels or hotels. Should they choose live streaming or video recording? Can they make money? This stuff comes quickly.
This thing depends on the environment, Li Hao's experience, and his actions. Subconsciously, he doesn't care about this issue at all.
It's just a piece of meat, how can the old one have the fresh excitement? But he has had enough fun now, and he doesn't want to find more fresh ones.
At the very least, the two of them have some feelings for each other and may even have a child.
He now particularly longs for a hot meal at home, instead of going home without even a trace of a ghost. He is a little tired.
It should be two months away, right?
After seeing the doctor and asking about the time, Li Hao didn't have much doubt about the child in Tong Jiaojiao's belly.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Hao's lips, he took a deep breath, opened the door and entered the house.
squeak.
As soon as the door opened, Li Hao was stunned.
In the room, a middle-aged man was sitting at the table, drinking tea with his head lowered. His hair was black and had a somewhat nondescript hairstyle. His hair covered his forehead and formed an arc shape, like a pot lid.
Li Hao looked carefully for a few seconds before he recognized it. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Uncle Four!"
Director Li raised his head. At this time, he was not as oily as before, but he barely looked clean.
His face was pale and he seemed a little out of spirits. He just nodded briefly to say hello.
Li Hao quickly closed the door, walked to the table, sat down and asked in a low voice: "Fourth uncle, why are you here? Didn't you say you couldn't move around before?"
Director Li's eyes brightened slightly and he said: "The door is not completely blocked. I have made some connections, so the supervision is not so strict. There is not much evidence in itself, and the matter is not settled, so it still works.
.”
"But I'm afraid no judge will be reinstated in the short term. It won't be until next year at least. I'm also trying to make connections here. Come over to see you and make some arrangements."
Li Hao was slightly startled and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I'm like this, can I still help you?"
Director Li shook his head gently and said with hatred in his eyes: "Isn't your lover in Yi Chuanzong's courtyard? His wife is about to give birth, so find a way to get rid of her!"
Li Hao's penis suddenly tightened, and then he lowered his head silently.
This thought has never occurred to him.
Because he may have a child now, and subconsciously he wants to give birth to Tong Jiaojiao properly.
But when he thought about what he was going through now, his eyes suddenly turned red. This was all caused by Yi Chuanzong from beginning to end, otherwise he would still be working as a clerk in the Lingong Institute and living a comfortable life.
Li Hao raised his head and said word by word: "Uncle, I can't guarantee this. Jiaojiao is about to give birth now and her health is inconvenient. I'll go ask."
Director Li looked stunned. He didn't expect that his nephew could play to such an extent, borrowing a chicken to lay an egg?
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart now. In fact, he wanted to ask, 'How are you sure that the child is yours?'
"Okay, if it doesn't work, don't force it. I just have time today, so I'll come over and ask."
Li Hao nodded slightly and asked: "Uncle, do you have anything else to do? I am like this now..." He turned his head and sniffed at his shoulder, and then his eyes were full of disgust.
Director Li saw it in his eyes, and then comforted him softly: "Keep it up, you forgot when I was in school, didn't you also carry excrement for ten kilometers before selling it, just to get a few cents to buy paper and pens?
You do that work every day even when you're not at home, and in the end, don't you get ahead?"
Li Hao slowly lowered his head. It was precisely because he knew his uncle's previous experience that he did not feel disgusted when Director Li asked him to persist, and there was no resentment in his heart.
Director Li sighed and said: "Actually, I have something serious to discuss with you today."
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What are you talking about?"
Director Li chuckled lightly and said, "Of course we are talking about our future."
"Future?" Li Hao is a little confused. He doesn't understand the things in the unit. It should not be this matter, but his own side. "Uncle, what do you want me to do? I listen to you."
Director Li smiled happily. He lost the slicked back on his head and combed his hair into a three-quarter length. He looked much warmer and more humane.
Director Li asked earnestly: "Xiao Hao, do you still remember what happened to our family earlier?"
Li Hao frowned and thought, then shook his head slightly after a few seconds, "Uncle, I can't remember clearly, but I remember those two families were robbing us of our things."
Director Li nodded slightly, and then said with nostalgia: "Your grandma died too early. She passed away when I was a child. When I was in junior high school, your grandpa also passed away."
Li Hao didn't know what Director Li meant, but he wasn't bored either. Not only could he smell the smell, but Director Li could also smell it. His fourth uncle didn't care, so he forgot about it. After all, he also
Get used to it.
Director Li said angrily: "Actually, our family used to be relatively wealthy. Our ancestor was a small landowner and our family had some assets. Your grandfather passed away so early because your second uncle and third uncle were angry."
"When they saw that my son was in bad health, they started causing trouble all day long. When they made my son angry, they started to rob the family's property."
"I was young at that time, so they saw that my elder brother was honest and had planned it for a long time. In the end, we were driven into the small house and everything else was taken away except for the scalper!"
"This old scalper is worth some money, but it is my eldest brother's lifeblood and our family's only property. They calculated it well and left us a way to survive!"
At this point, Director Li gritted his teeth, and the hatred in his eyes was daunting.
Li Hao was also angry at this time. He knew his father's temper. As long as he didn't move the old scalper, everything else would be easy to deal with.
Director Li soothed his emotions, and then shouted: "Xiao Hao!"
Li Hao quickly sat up straight and said, "Uncle, I'm listening."
Director Li nodded slightly and said, "This is what your second and third uncles do!" Then he growled: "A family! What a good family."
Li Hao was as silent as a cicada. Director Li was a leader before, but now that he got angry, it was really chilling. Ordinary people couldn't easily see it. He just listened carefully.
"Xiao Hao, actually if possible, I would still like to let you work as a clerk in the Temporary Engineering Institute. If you can't bear it, you will starve to death. I can watch you no matter what, and nothing big will happen. I see you are also very happy.
, that’s enough.”
Li Hao bowed his head slightly to show respect. Of course he knew that Director Li was good to him.
Director Li was the one who fished him out when something happened earlier, and he used Lao Taishan's connections. If you want to invite Lao Taishan, you have to take good care of the heavyweight aunt. How painful this is, he simply
Unimaginable.
Now he is a little afraid of marriage and a little playful, which is also related to Director Li's experience.
It's just that Director Li can't protect him anymore. He can see clearly and knows that this third rolling mill is not dominated by his fourth uncle. Since he was a child, this fourth uncle has always taken good care of him, but this time he really
Not allowed.
Director Li said calmly: "Actually, it's difficult for this person to climb up, especially when I was in a position where I couldn't get up or down. It was even more difficult to walk on thin ice. I am indeed happier when I have the power, but Xiaohao, you should be able to see that your fourth uncle
I've been very tired! I can see that you are a little scared of the woman at home alone."
"Fourth Uncle, of course I know this. Our family is all thanks to you!" Li Hao sincerely thanked him. He was able to play freely outside, which naturally means that his parents at home have a worry-free life. This is all thanks to Director Li.
of credit.
"But this person has to fight!" Director Li's voice became firmer, "We were robbed when we were children, so we can't be robbed again when we grow up. I swore when I was a child that I would never let others rob us again."
"Everything in the world is about profit, and everything in the world is about profit. This society is a society where people cannibalize people. If you don't rob me, then I will rob you. I hope that we rob others instead of letting others rob us.
.I hope that I am in charge of other people's destiny, rather than letting others control us."
Li Hao became a little silent. His fourth uncle had always done well, but it was because he had made an enemy for his fourth uncle that something went wrong.
But fortunately, we haven't reached a dead end yet, and the fourth uncle has not completely collapsed. It's just that the thief Sun was very lucky and had some ability to alert the higher-ups. Otherwise, things like this wouldn't have happened at all.
Director Li's tone softened slightly and said: "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. To be honest, don't blame your second uncle and third uncle, because the eldest brother is the eldest son. If you really wait for the old man to leave, then everything will be left behind."
For the eldest brother, they can only pick up the rest."
"No one wants to suffer a loss. This is true for a family, and even more so for outsiders."
"But with my brother's temperament, how can he take away everything if he has a little trust? Our family is not like this."
Director Li was a little resentful when he said this, but then he shook his head, "Forget it, let's not have those fantasies. People have to face reality after all. They are too greedy! In fact, they were particularly afraid of me before and were afraid that I would deal with them. In fact,
I didn’t even think about doing anything to them.”
Director Li sneered.
"After all, my family is a little poor. If it weren't for them, I might not be able to achieve what I am today. But this is not the reason why I don't take revenge on them. The most important thing is that we were a family before."
"However, this family has been divided since they did those things. Whether it is property or feelings, they are strangers, so let them be."
"Now, you and I are a family. My eldest brother could take care of me before, so naturally I should take care of the family when I grow up."
"Xiao Hao, it's time for you to grow up!"
Li Hao looked startled. His fourth uncle's tone was wrong. Why did he seem to be saying goodbye?
He shouted anxiously: "Fourth uncle, what's going on?"
Director Li did not reply for a while, but looked outside with a deep gaze.
This made Li Hao extremely anxious. His fourth uncle was clearly educating him. Why did he become so depressed in such a short time?
Just when he was waiting impatiently, Director Li Youyou spoke, "Actually, I have never disciplined you before. Our age difference is about the same, which is eleven years. If I am older, you will be almost the same.
You won’t get into any trouble then.”
"If you like women, then go and have fun. It would be a good thing if you can get two boys together. You also know the situation here. I'm afraid it won't be possible for me to have children. Our family is counting on you. So you can just play, it's no big deal.
Yes, women are also a resource, if you don’t want to play with them, I have to help you find them.”
Li Hao looked startled. So this is what the fourth uncle thought?
"This person wants to climb up, but he's too tired. He's tired from climbing up. You don't have the talent, foundation, or character in this area. I won't force you to do anything. It didn't matter if you played around before, but now...
"
"Fourth uncle, what's wrong now?"
Director Li frowned, hesitated slightly and then said slowly: "This officialdom is very complicated. If I tell you in detail and you don't understand, I will simply explain it to you."
"They are all human after all. In fact, things in the officialdom have not changed much through the ages. You should know that the former number one scholar would not be able to get along without a cabinet teacher and a backstage."
"Whether it's a teacher or a father-in-law like me now, there is always a relationship."
"But this relationship is also a double-edged sword. The harder the relationship, the greater the risk!"
"The hardest relationship is with the prince. Normally he is the most noble, but there will come a day when he will be crown prince. I don't need to tell you about this risk, right? You should have heard of this kind of thing in these four-nine cities."
"Only in the turbulent times can we look at people's abilities, so that they can use their abilities to find positions. Only in troubled times can great achievements be made. In peacetime, we look at relationships. No one wants to lose their family fortune, nor will they leave their fate to others. Hold on tightly to the things in your hands.
Only those with authority are qualified to survive. This is called a direct descendant!"
"My relationship determines my upper limit. I never thought about how big an official I would be. This position is enough. It's safe enough. I can handle some normal things."
"When it comes to wind and rain, you and I are just like fish and shrimps in the river. If we don't come up to take a breath of oxygen, we will have no choice but to sink to the bottom of the river and be eaten."
"Originally I was very cautious, but now I can't. If it can affect the relationship, then there will be some means. No one is a fool, and no opponent can be underestimated. Today I can be suspended, and tomorrow I may be completely dismounted. I
How can you be the fish and meat on someone else's sticky plate and let others slaughter you?"
"Xiao Hao, it's time for us to find a way out for our family. Are you ready?"
Li Hao looked stunned, pointed at himself in disbelief, and said, "Fourth uncle, are you talking about me?"
Director Li's eyes widened and he yelled: "Who are you? You are so smart when you commit crimes. You have nothing missing. It's time to give it up! Haven't you had enough after playing for so many years?"
"You have children, and you have already shouldered certain responsibilities. It's time to calm down. Is it possible that you are not tired of playing yet? If you play now, have you thought about how to play in the future? It's time for you to see other scenery!
"
Li Hao's eyes were a little blurry, as if he had the same feeling when he entered the door before.
