Liu Guangtian finally understood that the chance of stepping in and marrying Liu Yuhua was even slimmer than adopting Liu Cheng as his godson.
If you are really pursuing the hopeless Liu Yuhua just for the sake of the house, you might as well go and ask Liu Cheng to be your godson.
But then again, Liu Cheng has five nephews.
If he really wanted to adopt, it wouldn't be his turn, and he wouldn't dare to compete with those five cousins.
After thinking about it over and over, I feel that I have been wronged during this period of time and have only been treated as a brother and sister in name only.
It’s better not to get too invested in Liu Yuhua from now on.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Sunday came again.
Lin Zhen went to the leader's house today and came back on his bicycle after nine o'clock in the evening.
I cooked a meal, played a game of chess, and reported on the research and development work.
The big boss gave him a piece of fine old white tea.
It was said that it had been stored for ten years. The big leader personally broke off half of it, making three taels of it, wrapped it in paper and gave it to him.
After Lin Zhen returned home, he immediately went to the kitchen to boil water and prepared to taste it with his wife and children.
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Look how rare you are. I used to drink it when I was a child. I even drank 15-year-old white tea."
Lin Zhen said with a smile: "So, unless we are at the leadership level, ordinary people like us will not be able to meet the living conditions of capitalists no matter how hard we try."
"Tch! Are you criticizing me?"
"Haha, isn't criticizing you the same as criticizing myself? We are a couple. If we can't meet the living conditions now, it doesn't mean we won't be able to meet them in the future. After twenty or thirty years, life will get better."
Lou Xiao'e sighed: "It's easy to adapt from poor to rich, but it's difficult to change from rich to poor. Now that I've adapted from rich to poor, I can also experience changing from poor to rich, which can be regarded as a complete experience of life."
"Hey, we stay here just to experience life, otherwise we will go to Xiangjiang with our parents."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "I really like the life here. I really hope that my parents can come back soon. Oh, by the way, Silly Zhu came to you today and said that someone asked him to send you a message."
"What message?"
"Si Zhu couldn't tell you clearly. I just asked you where you were and when you would be back."
"Well, I understand. You can make tea. I'll ask Silly Zhu in the back."
Lin Zhen guessed that it was Zhang Mazi and Old Fengtou. They couldn't wait any longer, so they asked Sha Zhu to find out the details.
The reason why Sha Zhu was so hesitant and unclear was that either Zhang Mazi and the others didn't tell the whole story, or Sha Zhu was worried.
Because of what happened to Liu Laoer last time, he blamed Silhu. This time he was afraid of making himself angry again.
Sure enough, I found Silhu and asked, and found out that it was Zhang Mazi who asked me to do it, and there was also an invitation.
But it was not Shazhu who Zhang Mazi and Lao Fengtou came to find directly, but Ma Liu and Erpizi.
They waited and wandered around the public toilet at the entrance of the alley for a long time. It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when they finally arrived at the latrine.
He quickly gathered around.
When Si Zhu saw it was these two guys, he turned around and left, not wanting to go to the toilet.
"Alas~ Silly Zhu! Brother Zhu! Damn it! Why are you running!"
"Go away, uncle. I didn't feel well after seeing Liu Lao Er last time. You guys stay away from me!"
"Oh~ just because you met Uncle Liu last time, we have to look for you this time. You can't even run away, you must be responsible!"
The two people were talking, one on the left and the other on the right.
Although the two of them together couldn't beat Si Zhu, Si Zhu still didn't dare to attack rashly in broad daylight on the street. After all, he was not a member of the courtyard, and he could not be held responsible if he hit him.
Silly Zhu frowned: "What responsibility do I have to bear? Don't think that I dare not take action. If you get angry, I will immediately send you two to Director Zhang!"
Ma Liu chuckled and said, "Don't brag. We just want to talk to you. It's not a crime. If you come up and take action, you're the one who deserves to be arrested."
Erpizi said: "That's right, is it okay for you to ride on the horse and listen to what we have to say before committing another crime?"
"Tell me, what's the matter? If you can't get to the point in three sentences, I have to leave!"
"Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhang asked you to send a message to Engineer Lin. Can you explain it conveniently? There is an invitation. You must hand it to him personally. Don't miss it if you don't see anyone else!"
Erpizi said as he took out a red-paper letter.
Seeing this, Silly Zhu smiled and said: "It's still the same as before Jie Fang, and there's even an invitation. Humph, why should I help you?"
"Second Uncle Liu is about to die. If you don't help, the debt will be yours. It's up to you!"
"What's going on? What's wrong with Liu Laoer?"
"You, a toilet cleaner, don't ask about things on the road! Go quickly, or we will pester you every day."
Silly Zhu has been curious these days. Why did Liu Laoer not believe him after asking him to introduce Lin Zhen? He also didn't hear that he was arranged to join the steel rolling mill.
It turns out that things are stuck here. If Liu Laoer has any conflicts with Lin Zhen, he will really become the instigator.
After thinking that a person must have a beginning and an end, I might as well help Lin Zhen deliver this letter.
"Okay, let me tell you something. When do you want to see Lin Zhen? Should you meet him or let him find you?"
"It's all written on the post, so don't ask random questions. Seniors Zhang and Feng didn't tell us the specific content. Just give it to Engineer Lin when you meet him. Don't give it if you haven't met. It's that simple.
.”
"Okay, I understand, this is the last time, don't come to me again!"
"Relax your mind. We wouldn't have used you as a stick unless we had no choice!"
"Hey! You guys deserve a beating for stepping on a horse!"
As soon as Si Zhu raised his hand, Ma Liu and Er Pizi had already run away.
After returning to the hospital, Shazhu went to the front yard and asked several times.
Lin Zhen first went to see Sun Antang to teach martial arts. He didn't go home in the afternoon and went directly to the leader's house. He didn't come back until after nine o'clock in the evening.
Silly Zhu handed the invitation to Lin Zhen and asked curiously: "Have you gone to see Liu Laoer? Why is there no letter from him?"
Lin Zhen smiled coldly, "You are a stick-in-the-mud probing about the affairs of the world, and you are getting yourself into trouble. I won't save you!"
Silly Zhu smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't bother to ask, I'm just afraid that they will look for me again. I'm really afraid of seeing those people. They are simply the bane of my life!"
"Then forget about this and live a good life. They won't look for you again."
When Lin Zhen returned home, Lou Xiaoe had already made tea.
"Master, what does Silly Zhu want from you?"
"It's nothing. I laid out a plan a few days ago and it's time to deal with the aftermath."
"Is it Liu Laoer's extortion?"
"Well, daughter-in-law, you go to bed. I don't want you to be involved in this kind of messy thing. Just take care of your children at home."
"Well, I'm just going to put the children to sleep and won't disturb you."
Lin Guo, Lin Jia and Lin Dong Lin Liang finished washing their feet and went to their rooms.
Lou Xiao'e led Xiaolong and Xiaofeng to the back room.
Lin Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
When I opened the letter and read it, I couldn't help but smile.
I saw a few lines of words neatly written on it:
Feng Dazhang wrote three letters to Mr. Lin and bowed his head a hundred times.
Because my bad friend Liu Er was greedy and blind to Mount Tai, he rashly offended Mr. Lin. Now he is done with it.
We have committed a crime of poor supervision and failure to dissuade, and we deserve to be punished.
After much thought, Feng and Zhang were willing to bear the thorn and plead guilty, beg Mr. Lin to punish them, and return the silver needle at the same time.
I hope Mr. Lin will give me a chance and forgive me. At seven o'clock tomorrow evening, Zhang San will prepare a small amount of wine in the humble house and wait for Mr. Lin to make a big show.
Or perhaps Mr. Lin will set a time and place and send a message to Shazhu, and we will definitely come to plead guilty.
Feng Zhang bowed his head again.
After Lin Zhen read this nondescript invitation, he was certain that it was written by Zhang Mazi, a fortune teller.
Thinking back, it has been a whole week since they were hung.
The other party was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, which was expected.
You might as well go meet them tomorrow. They should be hiding in a mixed circle behind the back of Forty-Nine City.
After dinner the next day, before half past six, Lin Zhen got on his bicycle and went straight to Zhang Mazi's residence.
At seven o'clock, we arrived at the place on time.
Zhang Mazi and Lao Fengtou have been waiting anxiously for a long time.
The past week had been so tiring, they had been waiting for Lin Zhen to come over.
But Lin Zhen never showed up. He wanted to visit him, but after thinking about it, it still wasn't appropriate.
In the end, there is only one way to go, which is to send a greeting message to find out the truth.
Let’s see if Lin Zhen is willing to come or let them go.
Anyway, this matter won't go unnoticed.
Good Morning was settled early, so they decided not to wait any longer and decided to let Ma Liu and Er Pizi send the invitations.
Now I see Lin Zhen arriving.
Zhang Mazi and Lao Fengtou were shocked, but at the same time they were also very nervous.
Several close disciples greeted Lin Zhen outside.
After inviting Lin Zhen into the courtyard, they all went for a walk on the street.
No one dared to join in the fun in the courtyard.
Zhang Mazi and Lao Fengtou arrived at the door. Seeing that Lin Zhen was twenty-six or seventeen years old, showed his talent, and showed everyone's style in every move, they couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
He even lamented in his heart that Liu Laoer was tired of life. Since he had actually met Lin Zhen beforehand, he should have known that he was a person who could not be offended, but he was so obsessed with money that he ended up like that.
Zhang Mazi said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, people like Lao Feng and I are not qualified to be friends with you, but in order to return the silver needle, we dare to establish a friendship. Please forgive me!"
Old Fengtou smiled and said: "Yes, yes, we are supposed to go find you, but it is because we are just a mob and dare not come to visit, so we came up with this trick and made you condescend to come here."
Lin Zhen saw that their attitudes were quite good, and there was no trace of murderous resentment in their eyes. Instead, they were panicked and nervous.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't say that, we are all workers who contribute to the country in the new era, and we are all comrades, so don't talk about the quackery of the old society."
"Oh, yes, yes, it's a new era, it should have a new look, Mr. Lin, please!"
"It's okay to drink and eat, but we have to make it clear. Do you call yourself the father of the princes and nobles or the worker of the workers?"
Old Feng was stunned, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
Zhang Mazi hurriedly said: "Of course they are engineers' jobs. Forestry workers are naturally not a cancer left over from the old society, we are!"
Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Since you know it is a cancer, you should correct it quickly, otherwise you will be cut sooner or later. I am not only here to take away the silver needle, but also to show you a clear path!"
