When the third uncle finished speaking, Wu Rendi shook his head gently and said: "You said the opposite, I owe you a favor." After that, Director Wu glanced at me and continued, "As promised at the beginning, this favor I will definitely pay it back. If I can't pay it back to you, I will give it back to your relatives and descendants." As he said that, the smile on Director Wu's face disappeared. He paused and then said, "Others have always owed me money. When I owe others... not much."
It was the first time we met someone who wanted to repay a favor with dignity. My third uncle and I were so overwhelmed by Wu Rendi’s aura that we were speechless. For a moment, no one spoke and the atmosphere became depressing. Just when I wanted to pull him away When the third uncle went out, he suddenly stood up. He shook off my hand, took a deep breath, looked at Wu Rendi and said: "In all these years, I have never thought about meeting you again, let alone I didn’t expect Shen La to work under you. Now that you mentioned it, I’m going to be shameless.” After finishing speaking, the third uncle looked back at me. Originally, I thought he would say something like asking me to leave the polling bureau. , Unexpectedly, the third uncle changed the subject and continued, "Shen La has called me dad for a few years, and I still regard him as my son. I can almost guess what you are doing here. I am not merciful. Just forget, I just ask him not to have anything happen to you here. With you watching over him, he should be able to live a long life."
After listening to what my third uncle said, Wu Rendi looked at me with a strange expression. He murmured and repeated the last few words that his third uncle said: "Longevity..." After that, Director Wu raised his eyebrows and seemed to be smiling. He said without a smile, "Maybe it's not that difficult." Looking at his expression, my heart twitched again for no reason.
At this moment, the door to Director Wu's office was pushed open again. Fatty Sun peeked inside, then he walked in and said with a playful smile: "Director Wu, I have something to do with Shen La." He didn't wait for Wu to finish. The director replied, and he shouted to me again, "Lazi, our grandpa is looking for you and your third uncle. It seems that your brother's conditions have been increased. The old man is angry and cursing. You two, go and have a look quickly. Don't take it for granted." Our grandpa is angry and comes here anyway."
With Fatty Sun's words as a step, Director Wu and I exchanged polite words, picked up Third Uncle and walked outside. When we got outside the sixth room, Third Uncle glanced at Fatty Sun and me and said, "You two are not the same." What's the director, the director?" When Xiong Wanyi was talking to me just now, I noticed that his expression was strange, and I guessed that he probably leaked the information.
Fatty Sun was quite cheerful. He bared his teeth at his third uncle and said, "The director is not the director. That's what it is. If you say it's true, it's true. If you say it's false, it's also false. Third uncle, please give these—the work certificates of our two brothers. , there is nothing wrong wherever you go to check. You can put this matter aside and go see the old man first. Monk Xiao is on the phone now, asking you to go back quickly. He can no longer persuade you. At this time, your brother The three of us still don’t know who is unlucky.”
After hearing what Fatty Sun said, my third uncle and I were both stunned. I looked at him and said, "Great Sage, you didn't make this up? Wasn't it to expose us?" Fatty Sun curled his lips and said : "Do you think I dare to make up lies to Director Wu? Just now, Monk Xiao said that the woman was a religious person and the priest she was looking for to witness the marriage was unable to go. The woman asked my grandfather to invite a priest to come over. Let's go there. Grandpa felt that he was making things difficult for him, so he got angry."
While we were talking, we walked to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, a blond and blue-eyed foreigner inside smiled at us and said, "Shen, Sun, my friend, long time no see, where are you two going?"
It seemed that everything was destined, and the arrival of Director Nicolas Hugo solved the priest's problem. I explained the whole story clearly, and hoped that Director Hugo could take time out of his busy schedule to witness the marriage of the couple on behalf of God. Combination. Hugo's reaction was beyond my expectation. He waved his hands gently and said: "Letting the world feel the glory of the Lord is the ultimate goal of all our clergy's lives." After that, he said in his own words A cross was made on his chest. At this time, Director Hugo had a loving smile on his face, as if a saint had come to the world. But the next second, Hugo's image was completely overturned, "Besides, we are still buddies. Son, Shen, don’t say anything, just one word, no problem!”
His words, which have a Beijing rhyme, are spoken in a clear and precise manner. Even if I find an old Beijinger, he may not be able to speak more eloquently than Director Hugo. But with these words of his, even if I have He said, "Director Hugo, let's make an agreement. I'll take the flight this afternoon. After the wedding is over tomorrow, I'll send you back. I won't delay your work." "It's okay. It won't matter if I stay for a few more days." Hugo waved his hand casually and said, "You have also seen that our third room in the polling bureau has nothing serious to do. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, our director Gao would never have remembered that there is still one in the polling bureau. A third investigation room." At this point, Hugo laughed to himself.
Director Hugo was not exaggerating. In some sensitive incidents (such as the ghost ship incident, the Demon Tomb was still afraid that Huang Ran would see the lack of people and thought that Gao Liang would have a back-up, so he reluctantly allowed the third room to join in). Director Gao I didn’t want to let the third room get involved. I didn’t want to continue this topic, so I said during the break between Hugo’s words: “Director Hugo, we both have to arrange something else. You also know how cumbersome weddings in China are. If If there is nothing else, we just agreed to meet you at the Capital Airport at 1:30 in the afternoon." Hugo smiled and held out three fingers: "Okay!"
A strange team attending the wedding was born, but this was not the final version. Before leaving for the airport, Fatty Sun suddenly remembered that his money rat was unattended, and Monk Xiao was always by his side. After the matchmaking, he simply returned to the dormitory, taking the big rat with him. When he went there, Fatty Sun was alone, but when he came back, there was another person with white hair behind him.
This man was also dressed in white. At first glance, he vaguely looked like Wu Rendi. But when he took a few steps closer, he saw clearly that it was Yang Jun who had been hiding in the basement watching TV. When I saw Yang Jun coming out with Fatty Sun, I Monk Xiao and even Hugo were stunned for a moment, unable to see what Yang Jun's plan was to follow him out at this time.
Fatty Sun walked over with a smile, glanced at us, and said: "I was called by Director Wu just now. He said that Yang Jun had little knowledge. He asked us to take him with us and let Yang Jun follow us all the way. Study it." However, Yang Jun expressed his disapproval of Fatty Sun's words. He ignored everyone else and only said to me: "Wu Mian said he wanted you to live a long life. Before you are ready to live a long life, let him I'll guard you." At this point, he looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something more, but after hesitating, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Originally, when no one was around, I specifically told these two people that Fatty Sun and I were now the deputy director and director. But after we explained it, I didn’t feel that there was much difference. Director Hugo opened his mouth and said, "Shen "My friend" is not just "buddy", but in the eyes of my grandfather and others, those who can talk about buddies with foreign directors are naturally no different. Yang Jun is even simpler. He never mentioned names, and always said "you, you, you". Fatty Sun explained to my grandfather that Yang Jun was a security guard responsible for protecting his safety. He was very capable, but his temper was also bad. Young, and after Fatty Sun's vernacular, Yang Jun became the prototype for the bodyguard-themed movie starring Jet Li. In my grandfather's opinion, Yang Jun's character just matched the concept of "however capable, there will be as much temper" A famous saying.
A few hours later, our plane landed in a coastal city in southern Liaoning. Originally, my grandfather thought that the woman’s side would send a few relatives to the airport to show up to show their appreciation. Unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, no one was there. I came here to ask. In the end, my biological father called my second uncle, asked for the address, hailed a few taxis at the airport, and then went straight to the woman’s home.
The woman does not live in the city, but in a seaside villa in the suburbs. It takes at least an hour's drive from the airport to the woman's home. Along the way, Fatty Sun chatted with the taxi driver all the time. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's family is quite famous in this city. Speaking of which, they are also a big family. They started their business by cultivating sea cucumbers. They were among the first few people in the area to make a fortune. They have operated dozens of businesses. Over the years, not only has it monopolized sea cucumber farming, it has also expanded its business areas to construction, catering and entertainment in recent years. In one sentence, this family does whatever makes money.
Although they are rich, their reputation is not very good. In addition, my brother and sister are very high-profile, and rumors about them have never stopped in the past few years. From occupying the sea a few years ago to recently buying The people were forced to move due to the construction of new buildings, and this time the tactics were a bit cunning. Not only did they cut off water and electricity, but they also screamed like ghosts in front of people's doors and behind windows at midnight every day, scaring an old lady with a heart disease to death on the spot. The family of the deceased went to court to sue, but because there was no direct evidence, the lawsuit was finally dragged out. The most recent big event concerning this family is that the boss's only daughter is marrying his son-in-law.
After a bumpy ride, the taxi stopped in front of a villa community near the sea. When the driver of our car was chatting with Fatty Sun just now, he had already guessed the identities of our group. Before leaving, the driver He lowered the window and said, "If I have a son who can be a son-in-law for this family, I might as well send him to a temple to become a monk." After saying that, the driver drove away without allowing us to react.
My grandfather's face was livid at this time. My biological father stood beside him with a smile and said: "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense. What does a taxi driver know? If you have anything to say, talk to me." My grandfather snorted, I glanced at the rows of villas in front of me and ignored my biological father. My third uncle called my second uncle to come out and pick him up. At this moment, a group of people came out of the front villa. I walked to a car in front of the community and stopped. A leader-looking person in front of me stopped in front of the car. He turned around and said a few words to the people behind him. Two middle-aged men and women who looked like nannies behind him were busy saying Several gift boxes of different sizes were stuffed into the trunk of the car.
"Shen Lao Er! What the hell are you doing!" My grandfather yelled at the two men and women who were stuffing things into the trunk. Before anyone could understand what was going on, my grandfather had already taken off his shoes and said,
The man and woman were thrown out. The man ducked instinctively, and his shoe hit the leader behind him in the face.
No wonder my grandfather is angry. My second uncle and second aunt arrived here a week before us. They were supposed to be here to help with the wedding, but just now I met them doing odd jobs. My brother had already stepped in when he got married.
Grandpa was embarrassed to meet people in his hometown. It was fine that there was no one to pick him up when he got off the plane. Now when he saw this scene, he immediately exploded.
The people on the opposite side became angry on the spot, and several of them, some big and thick men, were about to rush towards us. I took a step forward, blocked in front of my grandfather, and reached for the stick behind my waist. Although I was in the army.
At that time, grappling was not my strong point, but it was not a problem to deal with these people. If it didn't work, there was Yang Jun behind me. Seeing that those people were about to rush in front of me, suddenly someone in the opponent's crowd shouted
He said: "Don't do it! Misunderstanding, that's my dad! Don't do it!" The person who spoke was the middle-aged man who was targeted by my grandfather but was not hit. He also had another identity - my second uncle.
He was the biological father of the groom in this wedding. After he finished shouting his words, the people who were about to rush over stopped on the spot. They turned back to look at an old man in his sixties or seventies who was helping the leader tidy up his appearance.
The sixty or seventy-year-old man next to the leader showed embarrassment after hearing what his second uncle said. He said to the leader with a smile: "District Chief Xie, he seems to be my in-laws. Country people don't
You know how to handle things, don't be like them." Unexpectedly, the district chief named Xie was unusually easy to talk to. He smiled and said, "Don't call me so stingy. Isn't it just that I was hit by a shoe? It's not a bad thing.
, it seems that the only one who has been beaten with shoes recently is George W. Bush." His joke caused a burst of cheers from the surrounding people. Then the district chief Xie said to the old man, "Besides, Boss Xie, you
My in-laws are also my relatives. They are all one family, so what’s wrong with them? Don’t worry, I will definitely invite Deputy Mayor Wang to your wedding tomorrow."
