192. Chapter 192 It's better to have an official at home
But after hanging up Tang Guo's phone, Tang Lin was still angry. He didn't remember that today was Christmas. He was so tired that he didn't have any time or energy to take care of things other than work. He just wanted to make money and pay off his debts quickly.
Men can be impulsive and petty, so even though he knew about Christmas now, he didn't call the female mayor or even send a text message.
On the contrary, he sent blessing text messages to everyone else he knew in Zhongzhou, even Chu Feifei and Feng Mi Fei.
But he said at the end of the message: No need to reply.
Originally, the snow falling on Christmas was a very romantic and warm thing, but he felt a chill. He didn't doubt the female mayor, but, as a man, he had gotten to this point, and what he hated more was himself.
.
There always seem to be beggars at Christmas, but Tang Lin just met one, an old man with a white beard and ragged clothes who was shivering from the cold. He kept coughing and was helplessly begging for alms from a pair of beautiful and clean couples passing by.
.
But when they saw his appearance and heard his cough, almost everyone immediately ran away. Many men unconsciously held their girlfriends in their arms and glared at him.
Get lost and seek death!
They are all fucking liars, I am poorer than you!
Go home, beggars are no longer popular now!
However, Tang Lin walked straight towards the old beggar and grabbed the old man's dead branch-like hand with his big calloused hands. The old man was frightened and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Yes...I'm sorry...I'll get out right away...get out right now...I won't dare to come here again..."
Tang Lin grabbed his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll warm your hands..."
The old beggar couldn't believe it even more. He was so frightened that he immediately wanted to kneel down. The knees of the poor were worthless. A helpless old beggar like him was used to being bullied. Tang Lin quickly supported him and said, "Goodbye, Christmas, foreigners."
I don’t have much money with me, so I can’t help you much..."
After saying that, he released his big hand and took out two crumpled hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into the old beggar's hand, then turned around and left.
This was the only cash he had. It was supposed to be his food expenses for the next seven days, but he gave it to the helpless old beggar without hesitation.
What makes him different from others is that he can tell at a glance that this old man is not a liar, but is really desperate.
He has never met his grandma, and his grandpa left when he was 5 years old, so his impression of his grandpa is vague, and even now he doesn't even remember much about his appearance.
He didn't know why he was so fragile suddenly, and there were tears in his eyes again. He turned around and strode towards the barbecue restaurant, but a handsome figure he hadn't seen for a long time was quietly blocking his eyes.
For a moment, Tang Lin had a dreamy feeling. He couldn't believe his eyes, and subconsciously stretched out his rough, cold, calloused hands to touch it.
The woman was still the same woman, dignified and steady, with skin so smooth that it could squeeze water. His big hand only touched her face a little bit, and then he withdrew it like an electric shock.
But the woman excitedly stretched out her white jade hands and pressed his big hands firmly on her pretty pink face.
"Touch...am I not your woman?"
"You...how did you become like this? Your face...your hands...what happened to you?"
The woman held back the tears in her eyes, but Tang Lin forced his big hand back, and lit a cigarette in a panic, "Chief, how did you find this place? I'm fine, you go and do your business!"
Tang Lin was still a little stingy and angry, but he didn't dare to look at the tender eyes of the female mayor. He lowered his head, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the worn and white leather shoes on his feet.
The female mayor looked at him quietly and smiled, "Are you angry with me?"
Tang Lin shook his head, "No... no, I'm really fine, but... I just feel like I'm living a bit useless now. I... I haven't been home for the Chinese New Year in 6 years, and my family doesn't know that I'm no longer in the army.
I thought...I thought I would wear a military uniform and take my girlfriend back for a happy reunion this year..."
"Really..." the female mayor responded softly after hearing this, and then the two of them stood in a silent silence for a while in the falling snow.
Then, about 3 minutes later, the female mayor once again took Tang Lin's cold and hard hand with her soft and delicate hands, "Do you...do your parents dislike my old age?"
Tang Lin was startled and moved violently. Just now, he was not retreating in order to advance, nor was he deliberately saying those words to test the female mayor. Instead, he suddenly saw the woman he loved and couldn't help but tell the truth. In front of the female mayor, he couldn't help but tell the truth.
He doesn't want to hide his current real situation too much, let alone hide his true heart.
But at this moment, he completely lost the pride he had just now when he planned to take the female mayor home.
But the female mayor actually asked that? Did she really want to go home with him? He raised his head in disbelief. His eyes were still young, bright and clean, just like the stars in the night sky.
"It's not that I feel inferior. If you don't dislike me, I'll dislike myself, haha." He laughed at himself.
The female mayor held his big hand tightly, her heart was bleeding. She had been having a hard time this month, but she couldn't help herself in the officialdom. She could only postpone the date of Tang Lin's return and try to avoid contact.
.
She believed that Tang Lin would understand her because she had given him her most precious body.
But she never expected that Tang Lin would become what he is now. Just now she was watching from a distance, watching him cover the hands of the old beggar and then give him all the cash he had. She cursed in her heart, you
You fool, you are still so merciful when you are still struggling to make ends meet.
Are there more than one or two such poor people that you can help?
But more than anything, there is a stream of warmth. For such a man, who still cares about others when he is in poverty, isn't he worthy of her trust and entrustment for life?
"Let's go chase that old man!" The female mayor suddenly picked him up and left.
Tang Lin was stunned, "Why? I didn't give you more, just 200. Do you want it back?"
The female mayor was stunned and glared at him angrily, "Yes, if I want it back, I have to get 200 yuan back!"
Then Tang Lin smiled, no longer restrained, no longer nervous, and no longer cared about the so-called inferiority complex. Today is Christmas, a snowy white Christmas, so he easily picked up the female mayor with his backhand and began to greet her.
Running with flying snowflakes.
Facing the wind and the snow, the sweet lovers flew all the way. The female mayor screamed loudly in fright, but she quickly calmed down and hugged the man's neck sweetly, even putting a red face on her face.
Her pretty face pressed tightly against Tang Lin's face.
"It's passed... it's been..." the female mayor suddenly shouted while running.
"What's too much? Isn't it enough? Haha" Tang Lin laughed loudly, attracting attention from all the way.
The female mayor had to subconsciously bury her head deeply in his broad arms. After all, she was an eye-catching female mayor, and she couldn't be so presumptuous in public even at night.
In the era of universal Internet, public figures have almost no secrets to hide.
"That old man has passed!" the female mayor had to continue to remind. Tang Lin responded with an ooh, and quickly put down the female mayor and held her hand and walked back.
Although it was only a moment of madness, it was enough to keep him happy for two or three years.
Of course, the female mayor did not want the 200 yuan back, but directly called the rescue station and asked them to send a car to pick her up and properly handle the old man's future daily life, subsistence allowance benefits, etc.
The rescue station is indeed overcrowded, but those who are personally arranged by the executive deputy mayor will definitely be well taken care of.
Tang Lin, who was standing nearby, looked at the flowery face of the female mayor and smiled again, "It seems like it would be good to have an official in the family!"
