I certainly couldn't be too blind until I knew the truth, so I politely answered Yuma's question, who had always been like a kind elder and even talked to me about the situation in my hometown.

Yumu even described next year's travel plan with great anticipation, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in a particularly gentle tone: "Shandong is a good place, outstanding people, and there are many celebrities in Shandong." I stayed at home all day and panicked, and I was going to go to Shandong next year to feel the special style of the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. It is said that in your Yucheng, Shandong, there is also a sculpture of Dayu when he controlled the water, isn't it?"

I don't know if Yumu is really interested in traveling, or if she is deliberately using it to hide something. But I still explained to her: "Yes, Auntie, when Dayu controlled the water, it was in Yucheng and the counties and cities around Yucheng. In order to commemorate his historical achievements, a full-body statue sculpture more than ten meters high was built for him, which was very spectacular. ”

Yumu smiled: "Then I'm more interested in taking a look." Haha, when people are old, their hearts are not old, and they always want to be like young people, go south and north, and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. When you really can't climb in the future, it's hard to go!" Yumu patted her thigh gently, like a devout Buddhist, her words were full of worship and longing for all things in the world.

I smiled and said, "Auntie, you're not old! If you go out now and say you're in your thirties, some people believe you." ”

A bright smile bloomed on Yumu's face, she stroked her still smooth and round face, and smiled at me: "If you really know how to talk, you will make your aunt happy, right? A few days ago, the bureau organized the families of cadres to browse the famous places in Beijing, and I also followed the excitement to report a name, and guess what? Hey, it's not okay to not accept the old age, and now I climb up the Xiangshan again, and I am panting badly, and I am always worried that I will fall down when I go down the steps. As she spoke, she grabbed her hair with her hand, and in her movements, there was both a long-standing emotion and a longing for a better life.

I just laughed and said, "Auntie, I didn't lie to you, you're not old at all." After saying this, I tried to end this painless conversation and extend the topic to Yumu, but after trying again and again, I didn't know how to speak.

Yumu shook her head thoughtfully, took a sip of tea herself, but was silent for a moment.

I took the opportunity to stand up and take two steps towards the east wall, admiring the pictures hanging on the wall.

The photo is beautifully framed in a large frame, filled with group photos or single photos of Yume's family. I even saw a few photos of Yumu when she was a child inside, so cute, so innocent, really like a beautiful little angel.

I didn't squint at Yumu and said, "Auntie, Yumeng was very cute when she was a child, it's been so long, and this photo is still so well preserved and so clear." ”

Yumu also followed, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes." Yumeng liked to take pictures when she was a child, and others praised her for her good looks and cuteness. At that time, when she was in school, there was even a dance academy that wanted to recruit her to learn dance, but my daughter, who was nurtured by her father since she was a child, was determined to be a soldier or a military doctor...... Yumeng, a child, was very sensible and versatile when he was a child. Yumu said and looked at the photo in the frame, and the expression on her face suddenly became solemn.

Seeing that the time was ripe, I turned to the topic: "Auntie, has Yumeng contacted you recently, have you called home or something?"

Yumu smiled: "Hit." Of course hit. Our family is a dream, don't look at her doing things very spicy, in fact, she is also a girl who hangs at home, and calls home once a day to say a few words to me. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "Did she change her mobile phone number?"

Yumu was stunned for a moment, but smiled slightly embarrassedly, and said, "I didn't change." It's still the same as before. ”

I said, "I don't know what's going on, Yumeng seems to be turned off today, and I'm a little relieved, so I came over to take a look and ask her about it." ”

Yumu said perfunctorily: "Maybe it's a meeting, or maybe the phone is out of battery." Today's young people are a little careless, and they don't charge their mobile phones in time when they run out of power, which delays things. ”

I always felt that Yumu seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but how could I ask questions?

After thinking about it for a while, I mustered up the courage and said to Yumu: "Auntie, I heard that Yumeng doesn't work at the chief's office anymore, is there such a thing?"

Yumu was stunned for a moment, and her eyes flickered a little and said, "Look what you are talking about! Have you heard nonsense? Yumu has always been at the chief's place, so he hasn't moved his feet." If you want to say what I mean, Yumeng shouldn't have done that kind of bodyguard escort work, she should be transferred to the Seventh Brigade and be a literary backbone or something, isn't it good? But Lao You doesn't agree, Yumeng is also stubborn, I really don't break this master. Yumu seemed to be deliberately diverting the topic, and after finishing speaking, she smiled at me and said, "Sit down and drink tea, or don't leave tonight, stay." Lao Youke has been talking about you! I think that at the beginning, you were the proud commander of his subordinates, and you made a lot of great achievements. Once again, Yumu cleverly diverted the subject.

I didn't think it was convenient to continue to ask, so I went back to the sofa and drank a cup of tea with a lot of thought, which made me feel that things were getting more and more wrong because of my mother's cover-up.

However, then I almost didn't have the opportunity to ask Yumeng about the situation again, and Yumu began to break the casserole one after another and asked: "I heard that you are doing a good job in the security company, what kind of official are you now?"

I smiled slightly awkwardly, "Squadron leader." "I certainly can't tell her where I'm doing.

However, at such a great risk, he came to find out about Yumeng, did he fall short like this?

Yumu then asked: "Squadron leader, can you manage a lot of people in your hands? I'll just say, you are a fluke in the Special Guard Bureau, and you will definitely not be bad in society." ”

I continued: "It's okay, I can manage three or four hundred people." ”

You Mu asked again: "Where are you mainly working on projects in Beijing now?"

I said, "Mainly on the Wangjing side." Our company took on a big project in Wangjing, and it was well planned, and I stayed there all the time. ”

Yumu nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad." What are the projects in Kyoto? Community, or office building?"

I said, "It's all medium and large entertainment venues. The big hotel, the bathing center, and also received a city management assistant management, more than 100 people. ”

Yu Mu said: "Entertainment venues, work in those places, you have to pay attention to your own safety, don't look at your aunt, I don't go out much, but I also know that there are many rights and wrongs in entertainment venues, and it is difficult to serve." You've got to be a little more careful."

I quickly nodded yes.

Yu's mother then asked: "The salary, benefits, or something are okay, right? The wages in Beijing's security industry are generally not very high, do you want to work in a security company for the rest of your life?"

I said, "Of course not." The salary is okay, enough to spend. I'm going to do it for three or two years, and I'm going to do it alone after I find the doorway, and it's not a long-term solution after all, hehe, I'm definitely going to find a way to build my own entity. ”

Yumu nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." Young people just have to work hard! When there is any difficulty, just find the old reason, he has a lot of connections, help you move around, absolutely no problem. Do a good job, the young man's future is limitless. My mother encouraged me a few words, and then moved on to the next topic: "By the way, Xiao Zhao, remember Auntie's words, in society, it is not as good as in the army, if you can endure it, we will endure it, and we will not fight with others." Who in society doesn't? Endure the calm for a while. ”

I'm still listening, and I don't have the slightest chance to interject.

And Yu's mother simply monopolized the power to speak, and talked wittily about society, life, and work, for a long time

I secretly cried out in my heart, thinking to myself that if she continued to say this, when would I be able to interject and figure out what was going on with Yumeng?

I couldn't help but feel very anxious, and a slight sweat broke out on my face, but seeing that Yu's mother said so bitterly, how could I interrupt her and ask about Yumeng?

Obviously, Yumu is also using such a way to cover up Yume's affairs.

What's going on here?

I kept speculating in my mind, and my anxiety was palpable.

Yumu talked a lot about it, and while she was taking a breath, I quickly turned the topic back and asked Yuma, "Auntie, when was the last time Yumeng came home?"

Yumu first chuckled, then took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Two weeks ago." You Meng came back two weeks ago, and bought a massager back for her father, Lao You is also old, waist and back, many body parts are not strong, I used the massager I bought back with my daughter, and it really works. Lao You, repeatedly praised her daughter for being sensible and filial. ”

I nodded, wanting to expose her lies directly, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I began to knock on the side: "By the way, Auntie, or let's call Yumeng and see if she has time to come back." Now that I'm retired, it's hard to find her, and the gate of the guard area will definitely not let me in. I laughed self-deprecatingly, but my heart was running at high speed at the speed of the Pentium quad processor.

Yumu's face stiffened slightly, and she prevaricated: "That's right, yes, I heard You Meng call a few days ago, she said, she said that she seemed to be visiting abroad with the chief!"

Looking into Yumu's twinkling eyes, I knew she was lying. But what can I do in the face of her repeated prevarications?

However, I was anxious to know the truth, to see Yumu. Under the complex psychological contradictions, I still directly ordered the first army of your mother: "Auntie, you are making a big joke, I asked Secretary Huang of the chief's office, the chief has been in China and has no plans to visit abroad recently." ”
