Chapter 179: Family Banquet

"What are you doing standing there? Put your bags away, wash your hands and quickly sit down to eat, just like you, sitting in that position, I feel worthless for the people. ”

"Huairou, come here, I made your favorite dishes today, and there is a beer refrigerator, take a good rest, and don't go back to the police station tonight." ”

Lin Guoxiao is completely different faces, without making Lin Xiao doubt life, did I pick it up? They all say patriarchy, why can't I feel it at all?

But when I saw the beer that was chilled in advance, and the dishes that were my sister's usual favorites, I couldn't help but be shocked. Jiang is still old and spicy, the old guy seems to have expected it, he simply ate him to death, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence.

In the early years, because of her health, Lin's mother gave birth to Lin Huairou and left soon after, and now there are only three people left in the family.

Lin Guoxiao, father and son, both had a good sip of liquor at the dinner table, and today the family of three is reunited, and the old man is in a good mood, so it is indispensable to take a few more glasses.

A glass of liquor with a full 48° in the lower stomach immediately ignited the taste buds, so it was not exciting. Lin Xiao was very knowledgeable about the current affairs and filled a cup for Lao Lin, with a courteous face, looking forward to the old man giving him a little face in the future, don't always be a stinky boy, the turtle son's name, how to say that he is also the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, and he still needs some face.

"This time, most of the year has passed, and in a few months, it will be the New Year again!"

Perhaps because of the wine, Lin Guoxiao, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly sighed, he was already old, and his brows were furrowed at this time, and the wrinkles on his forehead were a little deeper.

Lin Xiao and Lin Huairou knew that the old fox was so foreshadowing, he must have something to say, so they kept silent and waited for him to speak.

Sure enough, after speaking, Lin Guoxiao picked up the cup, and the more he wanted to drink it. But the next moment, he put down the wine glass again, and said with hatred: "Look at you, you are almost forty people, you are busy all day long, busy, not to mention marrying a wife for so many years without children, and at the beginning of the year, you quietly divorced the marriage, and the face of the old Lin family has made you lose everything." ”

"I said Lao Lin, this emotional thing is barely useless, it's not right, it's decisive, it's decisive, it's a hundred. Besides, the times are different now, and the sea of divorced people is gone, so what's so embarrassing. He said smutteredly.

Lin Xiao still cares a lot about this relationship, otherwise in normal times, he will definitely not talk back when the old man speaks, just listen. But today, because of this, he spoke.

"Now that you know that you are decisive? What kind of virtue did you have before you got married?

You must know that you are not a member of the public, you are shouldering the people, and the marriage is not a child's play? If you say you leave, what do you let others think of you? Immature, sloppy, and with low political consciousness! Can such a person bear the burden?"

Lin Xiao was silent, Lao Lin was right, this marriage was marked with a political label from the beginning, it was destined to be not harmonious and happy, full of too many interests, and he also knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to divorce like this, and it would be a matter of truth and affect his career.

However, he still made this decision resolutely.

"Hey, look at you two brothers and sisters, especially you, who are brothers, it's a mess. I see, our Lao Lin family is like this, and I don't expect you anymore, forget it. ”

He hated that iron could not be made of steel, and then he was sad: "It's just that I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Lin family, sorry for your deceased mother, I didn't take care of this family, which caused your brothers and sisters to be alone now." ”

This family banquet, how to say it, some people eat happily, and some people eat disturbingly. After less than an hour, it was over, and after the meal, Lin Xiao called Lin Huairou to take her out of the house in a hurry on the grounds of walking.

On the secluded path of the municipal party committee compound, the two walked side by side, not as vigorous and resolute as usual, and they could also be very comfortable when they unloaded their responsibilities.

"You called me back in such a hurry, just so that I could give you lightning resistance?"

Lin Xiao smiled, "Otherwise, Lao Lin won't talk about you, even if he does, he just uses me as the chicken to set an example." ”

As Lin Xiao said, although Lin Guoxiao didn't say anything about her directly, when he pretended to criticize Lin Xiao, didn't he warn her from the side?

Over the years, there has not been much communication between the husband and daughter, especially three years ago, after something like that, her temperament changed greatly, Lin Fu was afraid that she would be sad, although he was worried about her personal problems, but he never mentioned it to her directly, it was like today, blowing the wind in her ears without pain.

"Let's talk about it, it's been a while since I divorced my sister-in-law, do you miss her?" Lin Huairou knew what Lin Guoxiao meant, but she was obviously a little resistant, and she didn't want to say anything more about it.

"What is there to say, they are all divorced, what else do you want. There was no such thing as the unangry and intimidating of the superiors, he smiled freely, and seemed to be very casual.

"You actually love her very much, right?" she glanced at Lin Xiao, stopped her steps, and her face was full of seriousness.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then looked away, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, shaking his head and feeling bitter.

"She is a very beautiful person, both external and internal, with her own ideas, dignified and intellectual, very good woman. At first, I was just because of her appearance, which matched my heart, but after getting married, over the years, I gradually became attracted to her. ”

Noncommittal, this sister-in-law also gave her a good impression and was quite impressed.

"In that case, why do you want to divorce if you love her?"

In this regard, Lin Xiao said without a beginning or an end: "Last year, his brother was promoted and transferred to Linxing, and I recommended it." ”

Lin Huairou was a little suspicious and waited for his next step.

"Actually, she never loved me, she was, and she is. Before, it was just because of the pressure from the family, and she couldn't help herself, although she often had a smile on her face over the years, I knew that she was not happy.

I thought that as time went by, the two sides would get along for a long time, and they would fall in love for a long time. However, I am the only one who is in love, since I can't influence her, wishful thinking, why delay her and not let her be the one who is at ease?"

Lin Huairou's eyes were different, and she thought for a moment, and then took his words and said: "So, in order to reduce her pressure, you used your relationship to fulfill his brother, just to make her feel better at home." But you did this, but in exchange for your own wrong, embarrassed yourself, no wonder Dad always said that you are stupid, it is not unreasonable. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled, but it was not as natural as before, and it was a little stiff.

"Heh, his old man's heart is like a mirror, how can I hide it from him with this little bit of caution. ”
