Chapter 181 Untie the Knot
Lunch.
Although it happened that Lin Ming was transferred, Aunt Lin Ye still prepared a table full of dishes because today is the day when Lin Ye came to pay New Year's greetings.
"Can I have a drink?"
Lin Tang brought out a bottle of good wine from the room, and Lin Ye nodded.
"Dad, I can do it too. I don't have to go on duty this afternoon." Lin Ming looked at the wine his father took out, and he was also greedy. He knew that his father had hidden this bottle of wine for many years.
This bottle of wine has been kept in his father's study for at least ten years. When he was admitted to university, he asked his father to take it out, but his father was not willing.
"Lin Ye, it's better if you came. My dad brought out the best wine in his collection. I'm also thanks to you today."
Although the job was transferred, Lin Ming wasn't too worried about it. That's just his temperament, and he belonged to the optimist.
"Then you will drink a few more glasses later."
Lin Tang looked at Lin Ye and Lin Ming's words, but his eyes fell on the wine: "It's not that I don't open this bottle of wine, it's from a winery in Raocheng. I just came to Quanzhou for work. My uncle made one for me, and now there is only one bottle left, and if I drink it again, it will be gone."
Lin Ming’s expression was also gloomy. He had just entered high school when his uncle left. Because of his studies, his mother didn’t rush back to see his uncle for the last time, and his father and mother quarreled several times over this matter.
In the past, when the uncle and aunt were still there, his father would take him back to Rao City every summer vacation, and this was the day he was most looking forward to at that time.
In Rao City, he can take his cousin to play around without his mother watching over him, and his father is even less afraid. Whenever his father dares to attack him, he just needs to hide from his uncle, and it will be his turn to teach him a lesson. daddy.
"Your grandfather left early. I was brought up by your uncle. When my family was poor, the village gave us a place to serve as a soldier. Your uncle took the initiative to give me this place. If there was no such place, I would not have been a soldier." Bing, how can you have such a good day now."
Lin Tang was very emotional. The death of his eldest brother was a pain in his heart. The so-called elder brother is a father, but when he was at a critical time in his work, his nephew had to stay in Rao City. Therefore, he has always felt ashamed of his elder brother and sister-in-law all these years.
Although he is in Quanzhou, he has been paying attention to his nephew's situation over the years. When his nephew was in high school, he privately added the phone number of his nephew's head teacher. Bring it to Quanzhou.
It is another matter to study well or not, but you must not let your nephew go astray.
"Fortunately, you still live up to your expectations and didn't embarrass your eldest brother and sister-in-law. On the contrary, I, as an uncle, haven't fulfilled much responsibility."
"Uncle, do you still have the phone number of my homeroom teacher?" Lin Ye didn't expect that his uncle would still be in contact with his high school homeroom teacher.
"At that time, when I went back to Raocheng to see you every year, I would invite your class teacher out to meet and have a meal. Your class teacher's brother and I are comrades in arms. I asked him to take care of you more usually, and tell me in time if there is any situation."
Hearing what his uncle said, Lin Ye thought back to the three years in high school. The old class seemed to take care of him. If nothing else, he should be sitting in the last row or two based on his height, but the old class arranged for him. But it is in the middle position.
In addition, there are some subsidy and scholarship selections, and I have also been selected.
"Old Zhao is not kind, I thought he was a good teacher, but he was bribed by your uncle."
Lin Tang listened to his own words, and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, I just invited him to a meal. As the head teacher of a key high school, how short is this meal?"
"Uncle, I'm just joking."
Lin Ye quickly explained that he was just joking, and Lao Zhao was still very responsible, and just like his uncle said, as the head teacher of a key high school, if he bought it for a few meals, it would be too worthless. The reason why my uncle and my brother are comrades-in-arms is to sell the relationship of favor and face.
"Your uncle sent me a message, saying that you bought a car and made money right after graduation?"
Lin Tang asked this question because when his elder brother and sister-in-law left in an accident, there was a sum of compensation. The compensation was in the name of his nephew, but he was the guardian at the time, and he kept the passbook. He still hasn't moved at his place, which shows that the nephew bought the car by earning money from work.
"Well, I bought a scooter."
"Buying a car is a good thing. It's normal for young people to buy a car after graduation, but you should focus on your work now, don't think about pleasure. Next, you should buy a house and marry a wife. The current housing price in Rao City should be around 8,000. , when I went back to Raocheng last time, I saw a few newly built properties that were okay, you can choose one and give the house first."
Lin Tang knew very well that he was just an uncle, and if the nephew's money was always kept with him, even if the nephew had no objections, the relatives on the sister-in-law's side would definitely gossip. Give the money to the nephew and let the nephew buy a house.
Young people spend money without restraint, and they are easy to be deceived, so it is most suitable to buy a house.
Lin Ye's heart warmed when he heard this. He never thought that his uncle would think so much about him. Over the years, he always felt that he came here alone, and he didn't have much contact with relatives.
But from the conversation with his uncle on the first day of the first lunar month, as well as his uncle's words now, he understood that the elders actually cared about him silently, but they didn't express these things on the surface like my sister-in-law did. They are caring about themselves in their own way.
"Uncle, the job I'm looking for is pretty good, and I bought a house."
"I bought it, you bought a house so soon?" Lin Tang became nervous all of a sudden: "It's fine for you to buy a car, you young people understand, but why don't you tell me about such a big thing as buying a house? If you live for a lifetime, you have to choose carefully, where did you buy the house?"
"Xinjiang Wanting over there..."
"Xinjiang Wanting, it's not bad over there, no, the houses over there seem to cost upwards of 15,000, and they're all flat floors, Lin Ye!"
Lin Tang's expression suddenly became serious. After working in the public security industry for so many years, he has seen too many young people go on evil paths in order to get rich, especially now that the Internet has provided many young people with a path to crime.
He was afraid that his nephew would also follow this path.
Just when Lin Tang was about to ask for clarification, his cell phone rang suddenly, and Xiao Geng called, but he was not in the mood to take care of his son's work now, and his nephew's affairs were more important now than that.
Lin Tang didn't answer the phone, and after a while, the phone of Lin Ming who was sitting on the other side rang.
"Dad, it's Bureau Geng's call. There may be something urgent. I'll answer it."
Lin Ming didn't dare not answer the phone like his father did. He pressed the answer button and said, "Ju Geng..."
A minute later, Lin Ming hung up the phone with a strange expression on his face. Seeing his son's expression, Lin Tang couldn't help cursing, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Ju Geng told me that Bureau Xiang is going to hold a team meeting to readjust the work. I may not have to go to the town. In addition, Ju Geng also said that we haven't come to our house this year to pay New Year's greetings. I asked you if you are free. I plan to come later. Happy New Year to you."
"Happy New Year to me?"
Lin Tang was stunned, it was already the seventh day of the first lunar month, how could anyone come to pay New Year's greetings now?
It’s different from visiting relatives. Visiting relatives comes to pay New Year’s greetings in the first month, but generally, people from such units usually come on the 30th day of the new year. Besides, they don’t come suddenly.
"I'll call and ask a colleague."
Lin Tang picked up his mobile phone and made a call. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Lin Ye: "Xiao Ye, what is the origin of your friend? He actually asked the Bureau to reconvene in the afternoon just after the meeting in the morning, and deliberately raised the question?" It's time for Xiao Ming's job change."
His son doesn't have a position, and some things are still out of reach, but he called and asked, and the Xiangju sent it himself. You must know that in a public security system like theirs, the deputy executive usually comes to work as the abbot. This is more of just steering the rudder in the general direction.
After all, the project bureau also holds other positions.
Don't say that I have already retired, even if I didn't retire, I wouldn't have such a big face, and it is even more impossible for my son, if he has this ability, he will be bullied to the point of being transferred to the countryside. up.
"Uncle, I don't know, but he should be very energetic."
"It's been a while, I heard from my old colleague that this is intentional to let your brother be the captain."
"Uncle, it's not like my brother doesn't have that ability. Under the influence of you, an old criminal policeman, you can't disbelieve in your own strength."
Lin Ye didn't feel at all that he was suspected of using power for personal gain. Even if he did, it would be fine. This society itself is not absolutely fair. There is a saying on the Internet that is very appropriate.
The efforts of three generations of ancestors, why should they lose to you after ten years of hard study.
"Since you can meet such a friend, it's normal for you to be able to buy a house, but I still want to remind you, you must think about everything when you do anything." Lin Tang didn't ask his nephew, what is the background of that friend.
"Uncle, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
"Well, you are promising, your parents should be relieved, have a good drink with uncle today, Lin Ming, call that little Geng, tell him that I am not free this afternoon, and tell him not to come."
"Okay." Lin Ming nodded. He was also displeased with the Geng situation. His father took good care of him when he was there. This time, he stepped back and asked if there was any suitable replacement. Dad He also pushed him, but as soon as Dad stepped back, he didn't say anything about not coming to visit him this year, and he didn't say a word to help others if they wanted to mess with him.
The wine lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and a total of three bottles of wine were drunk. Lin Ye smiled as he watched his aunt send the drunk uncle back to the room. The last time the uncle was drunk, now it's the uncle's turn. .
"Lin Ye, to be honest, my dad should be the happiest today in these years. He thinks he can explain to his uncle and aunt. My dad used to lock himself in the study room when he was under a lot of work pressure. I eavesdropped outside the door several times, and I heard my dad crying in a low voice, shouting uncle's name."
Lin Ming patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, and sighed: "An elder brother is like a father. In my dad's heart, my uncle is actually my father. If my uncle was here, my dad wouldn't be unable to tell about some hardships."
Lin Ye pursed his lips and did not speak. He remembered a sentence. The old people looked helpless when they were old and weak. It was because their parents were gone. If their parents were still there, they would not suffer.
The two brothers decided to go downstairs for a walk, but when they arrived downstairs, Lin Ming stared at a middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the unit, and was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said: "Ju Geng, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to your dad. It's not that some relatives brought some specialties from the countryside. I'll send them over."
"My dad got drunk at noon and is sleeping now, this..."
"It's okay, since the old leader is asleep, I'll come back next time, you take these things, the bureau will have a meeting soon, I have to rush back, Xiao Ming, don't worry, I will definitely speak for you at the meeting, It can’t be that the old leader just stepped down here, and this sent you to the countryside, wouldn’t this chill the hearts of our elders in the system?”
"Then thank you Geng Ju."
Lin Ming took the gift, looked at Geng Ju who got into the car and left, pouted towards Lin Ye, and said, "Lin Ye, did you see that, it's called face, I heard the wind, I guess I thought my dad knew him What big shot came over right away and spoke for me, but I asked my colleagues in the office, and they wanted to adjust me in the morning, so they just didn't say a single word of nonsense."
"Since my uncle promoted me, there's no reason to be so snobbish, right?"
Lin Ye was a little puzzled. Most of the time, the incumbent would promote one or two people, so that after he retired, there would be someone who could take care of his offspring and relatives. This was also to prevent people from leaving the tea.
"What else can be the reason? In order to continue to climb up, the deputy who works as the abbot and my dad are not dealing with each other. Although they are both deputy, his deputy is different from his deputy, and there is a relationship behind him. , Thinking of currying favor with others, I'm sorry, I still want to visit my house to pay New Year's greetings."
"I know he is such a person, so just ignore him in the future." Seeing his cousin's displeased look, Lin Ye gave him a word of persuasion.
"After what happened this time, he's going to become a laughing stock, and he probably has to find a relationship to transfer him away." Lin Ming nodded, saw Lin Ye's puzzled eyes, and explained.
There are many things in the system, especially when it comes to personnel adjustments, there are no secrets at all. Geng Minghai, who was promoted as his father, did not speak for himself. This must have spread.
Now that my house has become a hot spot again, I don’t know how many people will laugh at Geng Minghai, but if this Geng Minghai wants to lose face, he is too embarrassed to stay in the bureau.
"We don't care about other people's affairs. Since I have become the captain, I have to be sorry for this position."
"Of course, if I dare to neglect my duties, my father will have to kill me first."
"I believe in you." Lin Ye nodded, he still believed in his uncle's tutor.
"Since uncle is asleep, then I won't wait for our uncle, I will go back to Rao City, and you can tell uncle when the time comes."
"Go back now, stay a few more days, let my sister take you to visit various scenic spots in Quanzhou, you haven't even stayed for a day, how can you leave so quickly."
Lin Ming refused, and Lin Ye shook his head. To be honest, he originally thought that he didn't have many relatives in the real world. He only thought that there was no one he cared about except for his sister-in-law. Several times he thought about going directly to the real world. After hanging up for three to five years, people live in a different world.
This first month made him change his mind. In the real world, there are still people who he cares about and care about him, and there are quite a few.
"I have something to do."
Lin Ming stared at Lin Ye for a while, and finally said: "My dad said something right on the wine table, no matter what you are doing now, remember, my dad will always be your uncle."
"Well, I remember, go back and apologize to my aunt."
"My mother's temperament, now you have a higher status in my family than my father, I will tell my mother."
…
Leaving his uncle's house, Lin Ye chose to hang up on the high-speed train back to Rao City.
Different world.
It's also New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Uncle Xu had already replaced the entire house with new lanterns, and the couplets at the door were also replaced with new ones.
"The sound of firecrackers removes the old years and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu"
"Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old symbols."
Lin Ye sighed, and Xu Bo asked curiously, "Young master, what is a peach charm?"
"Peach charm... a thing from my hometown."
There are no peach charms in the different world, Lin Ye chatted with Xu Bo for a few words, then turned and walked towards Qingfeng Guan.
"Junior Brother Lin."
Dawu put on a new Taoist robe today, and he was very excited. Lin Ye nodded, and continued to walk in, just as the old Taoist came out head-on.
The old Taoist is also wearing a new Taoist robe today, and his whole person is very festive and energetic.
"Master, your face is radiant today, and the spring breeze is blowing on your face. This is a sign of spring in a dead tree."
"Nonsense." The old man glared at Lin Ye, but then he let out a surprise and looked back and forth at Lin Ye.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Teacher, what have you been doing these past few days? Your temperament has changed a bit, and you've become closer to nature."
"Have it?"
Lin Ye thought for a while, the biggest possibility is that this trip to the Spring Festival in the real world made him untie some knots.
"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, it's really strange."
The old man was amazed, Lin Ye changed the subject and asked, "Master, have you ever heard of a **** shop?"
"Turn left when you go out, there is a pawnshop two blocks away, but the shopkeeper of the pawnshop is rather unscrupulous, and there is a Chen's pawnshop one block away, which is fair."
Lin Ye: ...
"I'm talking about the kind of **** shop that claims to be able to **** the soul."
"The third **** shop?"
The old man's subconscious answer made Lin Ye's eyes shrink. Could there be a third **** shop in this world?
"You come with me."
Seeing the change in Lin Ye's expression, the old Taoist seemed to have thought of something, turned around and walked towards the Sanqing Hall.
