Gao Cheng ran out of the house wearing a vest, his hands were all oily, "Hurry up, come in and wash yourself, it's such a hot day."
No! It’s such a hot day.
Several children gathered around their uncle and asked them to put him on his neck. After a while, Yucai was hanging on his back, holding him in his hands, and riding on his neck. What a good boy, it was so noisy that it was a joy.
Yurong came out of the kitchen with the watermelon, "Hurry up, stop making trouble, go wash your face and eat the watermelon."
The kids were all wet and gathered around the dining table to eat watermelon, so the adults sat in the living room and talked. The fan was blowing in the living room, bringing a bit of coolness.
Lin Shuangchao asked the Fourth Master to sit next to him, and called the nanny, "Make a cup of my tea for Sihai..."
Yu Rong poked her head out of the kitchen again, "What are you doing, Dad! What kind of treasure is that tea of yours? Of the three sons-in-law, only my brother-in-law makes it... Our family in Gaocheng comes in and out, doing all kinds of work.
, can’t you exchange it for a cup of tea?”
Gao Cheng quickly waved his hand, "You fight for me on other things, and I thank you. I won't fight on this one!" After that, he called Lei Zi, "Brother-in-law, do you want to drink it? I know where Dad's tea is, otherwise
Do you want to try it?"
Lei Zi waved his hand, "No, no, no! Just give me a glass of cold water. I can't drink dad's tea."
Lin Yutong went to the kitchen, took the tea he had just brewed from Xiao Zhang, thanked them, and then smelled it, "Hey! Not many people are used to drinking Kuding tea from Fujian Province." Fourth Master said.
It was a drink, and she drank it too. This stuff was just a medicinal herb. She took it out and called Yurong, "Second sister, make me a cup too."
Yurong said "Hey" and muttered, "What kind of taste do you guys have?" The fan was blowing and she had to fan herself.
Yucai got snacks for the children and put them on the dining table before heading to the living room.
In the living room, grandma was sitting on a single sofa, looking at the children with a smile, waving a fan in her hand, and most of the wind was blowing to dad who was sitting on the couch. Next to dad sat his third brother-in-law, and dad was sitting on his side.
She was talking to the third brother-in-law, with loving eyes and a gentle face. The third sister sat next to the third brother-in-law. She kept shaking the fan with one hand to fan herself and the third brother-in-law. She held a teacup in the other hand to taste the taste, and then frowned slightly.
He looked at his head, and then with a somewhat aftertasteful expression, his whole body relaxed.
The eldest brother-in-law was sitting on the sofa on the side. He was pouring cold water and fanning himself vigorously with a fan. He also lifted the collar of his short-sleeved shirt from time to time to let the wind in. The eldest sister was afraid of motion sickness, so she washed her face and still
No, I wrapped ice cubes in a wet towel and tried to put it on my forehead, but my mother stopped me. My mother and I were walking back and forth from the living room to the bedroom, wondering what they were doing. The second sister was busy in the kitchen.
Between the kitchen and the living room, the second brother-in-law was completely trapped in the kitchen, which was very smoky. He came out from time to time and stood under the fan to blow some air.
Then the third sister saw herself, smiled and waved, "Come and sit, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look..."
The siblings had just changed places, and the fourth master said to Tongtong: "Just make a few cold dishes. If you are happy today, let's drink some with dad."
After speaking, he said to Yucai: "Try your third sister's cold dish, it's definitely a must-have."
Really? Third sister’s cooking skills have improved.
Tongtong asked Yucai to wait, "I'll see what ingredients are available, and you'll know after you taste them."
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Yu Rong murmured in a low voice, "Now that you are made by a capitalist, you are becoming more squeamish! Look, what did your brother-in-law say? You are a master at making cold dishes! Which dish of yours is not a master? Xia
The chefs in the world are afraid that you will get hot, and the cooks in winter are afraid that making cold dishes will freeze your hands. You said that your life is... can your mother-in-law watch it? "
Why can't my mother-in-law see it?
When Yu Lian came in, she added, "She is my mother-in-law, why can't I see her through it?"
Yu Rong said, "That's your step-mother-in-law. Why does she look for trouble? It's my own mother-in-law who is going to die..."
Gao Cheng glared at Yurong, "Just say a few words. Mom didn't say anything. Don't you just want the child? From the time I was born, we went to work, and it was all taken care of by my mother. The child was left here for the first week.
We saw each other once, but now? We may not see each other even once a month."
Tongtong cut off the cow's tongue. Seeing that Yurong was about to refute, he interrupted and said, "Brother-in-law, give me a green onion." Then he said to Yurong, "I support brother-in-law on this matter. If you look back, I will go in with my parents."
Go ahead with the slander, I order you to take your children back to your husband’s house on weekends! Your objections are invalid!”
Yurong took Gaocheng's green onion and gave Tongtong's arm a gentle slap, "I know! I know! You don't know how hot the house over there is in summer."
After that, he said to Yu Lian, "I'm still fainting. Why should I go into the kitchen? I can just go back to the house and take a nap! I'll leave the food for you."
It’s true! Yu Lianzhen turned around and left, shouting to Lei Lei, “Have fun, no quarrels.” Then she went to her parents’ bedroom. She had to get some sleep, otherwise it would seem that all she smelled in her nose was the smell of diesel or gasoline.
It tastes so bad. It’s so painful.
With Gao Cheng helping out, Tongtong made some cold dishes and baked some pancakes for a few children. Each person could make a few pancakes and eat them to satisfy their hunger.
When the cold dishes were on the table, Lin Shuangchao called Tongtong, "Stop working so hard and come and sit down too." After that, he called Gao Cheng, "Let Xiao Zhang and Yurong do the rest, you come!"
Gao Cheng brought out a fruit platter and said, "Dad, you can drink. I can hear you talking as I come in and out. I will come when the meat is stewed." Then he went back to business.
Lei Zi was extremely uncomfortable sitting in the chair, and suddenly felt that if he didn't adjust it, he would be a little out of place.
Tongtong took the wine cup and flask, and Yucai had already stood up and poured the wine, "The first glass is for the eldest brother-in-law. The eldest sister has lived a rich life in these years, and there is not much help from the family.
It's all thanks to my elder brother-in-law that I feel so good and comfortable."
How to say this: "Isn't this what it should be?" Lei Zi quickly took the cup and took a sip.
Tongtong filled the wine glass again, and then called Gao Cheng, "Second brother-in-law, come here."
Coming! Coming!
As soon as Gao Cheng came out, Yucai said again, "The second cup must be paid tribute to the second brother-in-law. The second sister is very stubborn and strong-willed. If you are ambitious, you will inevitably not take good care of the family. Not only the small family has to take care of the brother-in-law, but also the big and small family here.
I'm afraid it's a little extra work for my second brother-in-law. I must drink this glass! One thanks for your tolerance to my sister, and the other thanks for taking care of the family."
Look at what he said, "Is your second sister an ordinary person? Then why don't I fall in love with her first? I want your sister to be good, right! I used to think your sister was good, but now that I got married, I think our family is better."
!Yes! After drinking this cup, I promise not to ask your sister to cook in the future..."
The whole family was made to laugh, and Yurong came out to pat him, "What are you kidding about? Hurry up and get drunk and go to work."
After Gao Cheng drank it, he went to work and said, "There are two more dishes, which will be ready soon. Let's have a big drink when we're done."
Yucai raised the third glass of wine and looked at the fourth master, "The third glass of wine is for the third brother-in-law. The third sister used to be dull, overthinking and sensitive, but now, she is still overthinking and sensitive, but she can think
What she thinks about is no longer personal destiny and future, but the future and destiny of more people and social and national events. This is different! Someone must have influenced her character. Ten years later, the third sister is still in her early twenties.
Like everyone else, my hands are better maintained than before. I would like to express my gratitude to you for loving my sister for ten years. My second brother-in-law and my third brother-in-law have accompanied my father these years, understood him, supported him, and provided him with more spiritual comfort than ever before.
Anything else is more precious."
The fourth master took the cup and poured it for Yucai, "This makes me ashamed. It's not that I helped the family, but that the family saved me. My father-in-law was able to marry your sister to me under the circumstances at that time.
It is a great favor. It is my luck to be accepted into our family. In this family, my father-in-law is an upright person and an upright official. You guard the border for the country and fight on the battlefield. The most precious thing in our family is nothing else but the family tradition.
This kind of family tradition can't be exchanged for anything. I'd like to toast you with this cup!"
Yucai picked up the cup, clinked it with Fourth Master, and both of them drank.
Yu Lian, who was in the bedroom, heard the noise and couldn't lie down anymore! Lei Zi was also a friend outside, and drank to each other, but as soon as he came home, he showed timidity. He couldn't compare to Gao Cheng who was always busy coming in and out.
He seemed to be close, but he was not as nice as Si Hai, who seemed so appropriate everywhere. If he was not there, he would feel even more uncomfortable.
So, I got up, brushed my hair, and sat next to Lei Zi at the dinner table.
Wu Xiuzhen asked, "Is it better?"
Yulian laughed, "Yucai is really big... I can't lie down anymore." After saying that, she stood up and put a plate of lotus roots in front of Yucai, "I loved eating this before, do you still like it now?"
?Try your third sister’s cooking..."
Yucai picked up the vegetables with his chopsticks, "Can the taste change? You can't change it no matter where you go! I just want to eat this one at home... Well, it's not the same as what mom makes, it's delicious!"
The topic changed, and no one asked about the past ten years' experience.
What Lei Zi asked was, "How many days can I stay here? Will you come back to our home? Even if it's closer? My parents miss you, so it's convenient to go see you."
Yucai looked to Lin Shuangchao, "Follow orders and obey arrangements. I don't know if I can come back..."
Lin Shuangchao nodded, "Soldiers, obey orders. There is no need to explain anything to the family."
Lei Zi asked, "I'm not young anymore, so I have to hurry up and get married."
Yucai smiled, and Lin Shuangchao said, "Don't worry!" Then he looked at his son, "My suggestion is that if you have the opportunity, you should study for a few years, or pick up the textbooks again, take the test, and go back to school.
Go and study for a few years." After saying that, he looked at Fourth Master and said, "Sihai, what do you think?"
"Yes!" Fourth Master nodded, "Then, informatization is a new topic. Technology is changing with each passing day, so it will inevitably be used in the military. No matter when, it is always wrong to keep pace with the times. Twenty-eight years old does not count.
Da. After studying for three or four years, he is only in his early thirties. It is the time when he is in the prime of life."
Yucai was a little surprised. Even though his father always praised this brother-in-law in his letters, he realized after contacting him that he lived in the countryside, so his knowledge was definitely extraordinary. He nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll pay attention to it later. Recommended
...I won’t consider it anymore, I want to take the exam myself and give it a try.”
This is of course the best.
As he said this, Yucai looked up and saw his eldest brother-in-law who only ate vegetables and said nothing, so he asked, "Brother-in-law, I was an old squad leader who was injured and retired from the army. After changing his job, he also worked in your system. Yesterday
When I was on the phone, I heard him mention that in the past two years, there has been an urban-rural fringe department, and the public security is very bad. They are planning to build a large office, and there are some staff shortages. Have you considered coming to the provincial capital... Your conditions are
Enough, if you want to enter the provincial capital, you may have a chance!"
Lin Yutong was a little surprised. Ten years is enough for a person to grow up. In terms of handling this matter, Yucai handled it better than Lin Shuangchao. Lei Zi always couldn't move, and he may not have no complaints in his heart. He didn't say anything.
, what about attitude? Especially Yu Lian, who lives under the same roof, she knows the warmth and coldness.
If he couldn't be lifted elsewhere, would moving him to the provincial capital be considered progress? Of course it was! Without anyone's help, he would have struggled not to mention Pingzhou, let alone the provincial capital.
In an urban-rural area where public security is chaotic, someone like him, who is in charge of public security, can actually play a role. If public security cases can be handled well using Hexini's method, he may not be unable to do so.
Yucai felt keenly that Lei Zi felt a little uncomfortable here.
Lei Zi first looked at Lin Shuangchao. Lin Shuangchao was eating the food very seriously and was speechless.
Yucai smiled and said, "It really meets the requirements. Many people are not willing to go to that place now. They think it is too far away and the work is tiring."
"Don't be afraid if you are tired! There is no chance if you are not tired."
Yucai immediately said, "That's just what you said! It was said that fifteen people were recruited from the police academy, but the internship period was not over yet. They were doing private activities, and seven of them left. Moreover, there are better areas in the urban-rural fringe area around the provincial capital.
Most offices are short of people. We just held a meeting yesterday to decide on the transfer of people from other fraternal units in the province, including household registration, work arrangements for family members, and children's schooling. They can all be followed later. Just one point, the unit
The house is not big, and it is said that the old Tongzi building is too old... and then we will raise funds to build a house."
Yurong said hurriedly, "This opportunity is not easy to find! Really, I have been paying attention to the news. The policy can be followed so well, but there is no such unit now. Not to mention the efficiency of our factory in the past two years, it is really
My brother-in-law told me that the industry is dead. Someone in the security department came up with an idea and said they wanted to transfer to your system, so they asked me..."
Lin Shuangchao glanced at Yu Rong, and Yu Rong rolled her eyes, "You really didn't help me find someone! You can't ask anyone to talk to you at home anymore? It's not your relationship to transfer your brother-in-law. Isn't this Yucai's old squad leader?
?And, didn’t you listen? No one wants to go to that place. It has nothing to do with you.”
Gao Cheng teased Yu Rong, why did he talk so much?! If Yu Cai didn't have a father who was an official, the old squad leader would follow the example of Yu Cai. If Yu Cai asked for favors, others would help, but Yu Cai didn't have the confidence to finalize the decision.
That’s what I said. This identity must have been taken into consideration. If it weren’t for my father-in-law, how could we have known so much information?! Without information resources, we would have fallen behind every step of the way. It’s said that I didn’t rely on my father-in-law.
However, no one can escape the aura of his father-in-law!
Lin Shuangchao ignored his second daughter and turned to ask Tongtong, "You have written less in the past two years. Why?"
"There have been many adaptations in the past two years, several of which are adapted from scripts, including movies and TV series... These two media should be more easily accepted by the public."
It’s good if you don’t have any idle time. “The children are now older, so there are less people to worry about. You still have to persevere in writing!”
OK!
Yu Rong murmured to Yu Lian, "Did you see it? This is the fragrance from far away and the smell from the near. You are far away, no matter how dad looks at you, it doesn't look right to you! Now that I am close, no matter how you look at me, it doesn't look right to me."
Wu Xiuzhen stuffed Yurong with a mouthful of meat and said, "Nonsense! Your dad likes Gao Cheng. It has nothing to do with the far-off fragrance and the close-in smell!"
That’s just because you don’t like me!
Yurong didn't feel disgusted and shouted to the kitchen: "Xiao Zhang, bring the iced soda."
Gao Cheng glared at Yurong, then stood up, "Xiao Zhang, you go about your business, I'll get it."
It’s so noisy, with adults talking here and kids chasing each other and hitting each other. I’m sure I won’t be able to leave at night, so I have to stay here tonight. In the summer, it’s actually more comfortable to sleep outside on a mat. There’s no need to live there.
No problem.
The hustle and bustle of the day is over, and the night has become quiet.
Yucai lay on the mat, looking at the starry sky and unable to fall asleep. His grandmother, parents, and sister were all sleeping at home. He and his brothers-in-law took their children and slept outside. The eldest brother-in-law drank too much and snored loudly. The second brother-in-law
I didn't drink too much. I was busy in and out all day, and now I fell asleep deeply.
As soon as he turned his face, he saw the third brother-in-law's eyes open. Seeing himself looking at him, he simply sat up and pointed outward.
The two of them got up, walked quietly outside the courtyard, and sat on the edge of the flower bed, neither of them speaking.
Tongtong saw it on the balcony and went downstairs. Then he went to the kitchen, packed a few dishes, took wine and wine glasses, put them all on the small square table, and then moved the small square table out.
Lin Shuangchao came out of the study and saw Xiaotong carrying so much. He thought he was going to continue drinking.
Who knew that as soon as Xiaotong went out, he set the table and waved for Yucai.
Yucai didn't know what this meant, so the fourth master urged him to come over. When he walked over, he saw four dishes on the small square table. He turned his face to look at the third sister and said nothing.
Lin Yutong handed over the wine bottle and cup, "Our family is reunited, but some families can no longer be reunited. Let's toast to the deceased and tell them that the country is safe and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
Yucai's eyes turned red, and his hand holding the wine bottle and cup trembled a little.
Tongtong turned around and looked at Fourth Master.
The fourth master came over and held Tongtong's hand and patted it. Only they knew how it felt after such a war. Every time they thought of those who died, their hearts burned with pain. When the two of them turned around, they saw Lin Shuangchao standing in the door.
None of the three people said anything and walked inside. The door was just ajar, and no one was allowed to disturb Yucai.
At this time, he probably just wanted to quietly talk to those brothers and sisters who were sleeping underground.
The adults were all lying down, but Jin Mingming got up secretly and squatted by the door. He could hear the choked and suppressed voice, "... Company Commander Qi, in a few days, I will go back to our house to see our father and us.
Mom...Meng Chenggang, you bastard, you will never return the eleven packs of cigarettes you lost to me..."
Jin Mingming suddenly felt her eyes sore. She looked up at the sky. There were so many stars in the sky. She felt that those people must have turned into stars and were all looking like this in the sky.
She fell asleep leaning against the door. She didn't know when she was taken home.
As soon as the sun comes up, everything that happened yesterday disappears.
Today is the weekend, and Lin Shuangchao can still have a day of rest at home.
When he got up early in the morning, he went to the vegetable garden to clean up with his sons-in-law and sons. The children were playing in the yard, and his daughters were chatting with their mother and wife at home.
I was so noisy that I didn't know where to start when the phone rang.
No need to ask, most of them are work numbers.
Lin Shuangchao put down the guy in his hand and walked into the house. Someone picked up the phone and it was Xiaotong's voice, "Hello——"
"Hello, is Leader Lin here?"
Lin Yutong waved his hands to the other people in the family to signal them to be silent, and then said to the phone: "This is Leader Lin, who are you?"
When Yurong saw Lin Shuangchao coming in, she was about to call her dad, but Tongtong waved her hand and told her to be quiet.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Tongtong saying to the phone: "...It's you. What a coincidence, my dad is not here...isn't he at the work? Then I don't know where he is... You talked to Director Qiao on the phone?"
Didn't Director Qiao follow my dad? Then he probably took time to see an old friend. Do you have anything important to convey... It doesn't matter... Okay! When my dad comes back, I will convey your greetings... Okay
Yes, goodbye."
Then he hung up the phone.
Lin Shuangchao went to the study. Tongtong made tea and went straight in, closing the door. "It's a call from Bureau Xu from Pingzhou."
Lin Shuangchao nodded, this person must be involved in the coal mine. There was an accident, and they concealed the report of the death toll. The relevant departments in Pingzhou area received the report and were investigating the matter. At this time, he called, meaning
It goes without saying. Sometimes, it's not what he said on the phone, but the fact that he made the call to his home and answered the call himself. When this meaning is conveyed, it will inevitably make people think too much.
Therefore, this call cannot be answered.
Lin Shuangchao sat still and said, "Call your second sister to come in. I have something to tell her."
good!
Lin Yutong went out, looked at Yu Rong, and then pointed inside.
Yu Rong raised her eyebrows, then pushed the door open and went in, "Dad——"
"Close the door." Lin Shuangchao pointed to the door and then to the chair opposite, "Sit down."
So serious, Yurong sat over.
Lin Shuangchao said, "Do you know why I am opposed to some of your choices?"
have no idea.
Lin Shuangchao pointed outside, "Just now, Xiaotong was answering the phone. Did you hear how she handled it? When she was telling her not to make a sound, why did you shout out when you saw me? Did you
I thought about it, Xiaotong didn't scream, not because she was afraid that she couldn't hear the call clearly, but because she felt that I couldn't answer the call."
The corners of Yurong's mouth moved, and then she moved a little uneasily.
Lin Shuangchao said, "You don't have this understanding! You don't even know what you will face if no one protects you. In terms of ability, you can stay in a place like the neighborhood committee. You have to fight your way up.
Let's go, Yurong, it's not that easy. You're so impetuous, you're not going in the right place. In fact, if you and Gao Cheng were to change, Gao Cheng could be a peace officer and have no big future, so he would definitely not cause any trouble. On the contrary, you
It's different! You're so brave! You have to flutter around when you don't know the depth and have half a bucket of water... This is not a question of whether to teach or not, there are some things that just require understanding. Moreover, do you have such a sense of responsibility?
You are in the textile department, and you used to work in a trade union. Now that the textile industry has become like that, what are you concerned about? Who and who needs to be transferred! If you focus on personnel and neglect responsibilities, then you are an official just for the sake of being an official.
Rather than doing things! Then I dare to ask, what is the meaning?"
Yu Rong felt very strange: "Dad, you can't use your standards to demand me! You have your own way, and I have mine. How do you know that I will not go as far as you?!"
