"Ling'er, be obedient. It's not that your parents don't want you, it's that they are busy with work and don't have time to take care of you. No, as soon as your mother got off the plane, she immediately called you! Liu Cuilian persuaded bitterly.

Ling'er pouted and didn't speak.

The old man Zhang Changsuo also came out, and he said with a smile: "Yo, who is Ling'er angry with?" With such a high mouth, you can tie a donkey. ”

"Grandpa, you only have a donkey tied to your mouth, or a big donkey!" Ling'er said angrily.

"Okay, grandpa's mouth is tied to a big old donkey, okay?" The old man Zhang Changsuo smiled kindly: "Ling'er, don't play a little surname, be obedient, go back." Your mother brought you a lot of delicious food from Yanjing. ”

"Grandpa, I've eaten. It was the McDonald's that Brother Changfeng invited me to eat. If you don't believe it, ask Brother Changfeng! Ling'er twisted her body and said.

"Changfeng, what did you eat with Ling'er?" Old man Zhang Changsuo asked.

Zhao Changfeng was pondering what Ling'er's mother was next to him, and he actually went to Yanjing for a meeting and took a plane back and forth. Hearing the old man Zhang Changsuo's question, he hurriedly replied, "Grandpa, yes." The McDonald's I ate with Ling'er. ”

The old man Zhang Changsuo said to Ling'er with a smile: "Ling'er, it's not okay after eating, you have to go back to see your mother!" ”

Ling'er stomped her feet and said, "Grandpa, it's so easy for me to invite Brother Changfeng over to give me a make-up lesson, why are you forcing me to go home?" Even if I go back, I have to wait for Brother Changfeng to finish my class before going back. ”

The old man Zhang Changsuo also had no choice but to say: "Then you have to call your mother back first and tell her that you have eaten." Save her from worrying about you at home. ”

"Okay, I'll call!"

As soon as she heard that the old man Zhang Changsuo did not force her to go back immediately, Ling'er immediately showed a smile and happily went to call her mother.

Regarding the relationship between Ling'er and the old man Zhang Changsuo, Zhao Changfeng has never thought about it carefully, he always thought that Ling'er was the granddaughter of Liu Cuilian's son, and after Liu Cuilian and the old man Zhang Changsuo were together, Ling'er followed Liu Cuilian to live. But now he felt that something was wrong.

First of all, Liu Cuilian and Zhang Changsuo spoke to Ling'er in different tones, although the tone was intimate, there was always a politeness in it that was not their own granddaughter.

Secondly, Zhao Changfeng remembered that although the old man Zhang Changsuo was old, Liu Cuilian was only in her early fifties. Even if Liu Cuilian got married early and gave birth to a son at the age of eighteen, her son is only in his early thirties. According to this age, even if Liu Cuilian's son marries and has children early, the age of her grandchildren is at most twelve or thirteen years old, but Ling'er is seventeen years old this year. So no matter what, Ling'er can't be Liu Cuilian's granddaughter.

So is it possible that Ling'er is the granddaughter of the old man Zhang Changsuo? It's even more impossible. The old man Zhang Changsuo was treated unfairly during the Cultural Revolution and has always lived alone, where did he come from?

Besides, from the conversation between Ling'er and Zhang Changsuo just now, you can hear that Ling'er's mother is a big cadre, and she can go to Yanjing for meetings and travel by plane, plus she is often too busy to stay at home, this is definitely not the image of an ordinary female cadre. And with the life backgrounds of Zhang Changsuo and Liu Cuilian, how could there be a cadre of this level among their daughters-in-law?

So whose daughter is Ling'er?

At this point, the truth of the matter is about to come out. Ling'er is likely to be the daughter of Vice Governor Zhao Qiang! Since Zhao Qiang is the vice governor, his wife is expensive by her husband, and Zhao Qiang's wife will definitely be a senior cadre of a considerable level. It is precisely because of the high level that it is very busy, and Vice Governor Zhao Qiang and Vice Governor's wife are often not at home. With the relationship between Zhang Changsuo and Zhao Qiang, it is not surprising that when Zhao Qiang and his wife are not at home, it is not surprising that Ling'er is entrusted to Zhang Changsuo's old man to take care of. Ling'er was accustomed to the care of Zhang Changsuo and his wife, and even when Zhao Qiang and his wife were at home, they were willing to stay at Zhang Changsuo's house and were unwilling to go back.

However, even if the analysis is in place and accurate, it is not as good as verifying it in person. Zhao Changfeng quietly asked the old man Zhang Changsuo: "Grandpa, what is Ling'er's father doing?" ”

Who knew that Zhang Changsuo was behind the old man's ear, and he couldn't hear Zhao Changfeng in a low voice: "Changfeng, you be louder." What did you just ask? ”

Zhao Changfeng put his mouth close to Zhang Changsuo's ear, raised his voice a little and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask you, what does Ling'er's father do?" ”

"Haha!" The old man Zhang Changsuo grinned toothlessly, and he said loudly: "Changfeng, I thought you already knew!" You haven't known for so long? Ling'er's father is the fifth son! Didn't I go with you to see the Five Soldiers? He's still the vice governor! ”

People with their ears behind their ears speak very loudly, for fear that others will not hear clearly. However, Zhao Changfeng didn't have the heart to pay attention to the voice of the old man Zhang Changsuo at this time, he was completely shocked by the words of the old man Zhang Changsuo. Although he had already made full psychological expectations in his heart, when the old man Zhang Changsuo personally proved his speculation, Zhao Changfeng was inevitably shocked by the news!

It turns out that Ling'er's father is really Zhao Qiang! How could I be so stupid and not think of it before? If he had thought about it on Ling'er's side at the beginning, he would have discovered this fact a long time ago.

Now Zhao Changfeng has fully understood why Director Li suddenly changed his attitude towards him. It must have been the time when Ling'er bumped into Director Li's arms, Director Li recognized Ling'er as the daughter of Vice Governor Zhao Qiang, and then saw Ling'er holding his hand affectionately, and called Zhao Changfeng his brother again and again, Director Li thought that he must be Zhao Qiang's nephew or other relatives, so he immediately changed his attitude and took care of him. Then Director Zhou talked to him and transferred him to the Audit Section; Director Wang re-conducted the cadre rating review in the Personnel Education Department, and promoted him to the level of deputy chief clerk.

There is another example to support this speculation, that is, when Ling'er bumped into Director Li again today, looking at Director Li's amiable and amiable attitude towards Ling'er, it can be proved that Director Li definitely understands the relationship between Ling'er and Governor Zhao, but he is very smart and didn't point it out.

"Brother!"

Ling'er called and woke Zhao Changfeng up from his contemplation. Zhao Changfeng turned his head to see that Ling'er's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes. Zhao Changfeng hurriedly said, "Ling'er, what's wrong?" Is it that if you don't go back to dinner, your mother will quarrel with you? ”

"It's not!"

When Ling'er heard Zhao Changfeng's words of concern, her tears finally couldn't help falling, and she threw herself into Zhao Changfeng's arms and cried.

"Ling'er, what's going on? Tell my brother! Zhao Changfeng said distressedly.

The old man Zhang Changsuo and Liu Cuilian saw it on the side and hurriedly came over.

"Ling'er, be good, tell grandpa, did your mother train you? Grandpa is going to your mother and take this breath for you! The old man Zhang Changsuo has always treated Ling'er as his own granddaughter, and when he saw that Ling'er was wronged, he naturally felt distressed, and he was reluctant to call Ling'er's mother to settle the account.

Ling'er raised her head from Zhao Changfeng's arms, wiped a handful of tears, and said to the old man Zhang Changsuo: "Grandpa, no! Mom didn't discipline me. She was very happy to hear that I was making up lessons at my grandfather's house. I cry because I feel wronged......"

The old man Zhang Changsuo wondered, since Ling'er's mother didn't train Ling'er, why did Ling'er still feel wronged?

"Ling'er, why are you wronged? Whoever bullied you, you tell grandpa, and grandpa is going to be angry for you. The old man Zhang Changsuo said lovingly.

Ling'er sobbed for a while, feeling a little better in her heart, she wiped her tears, and said to the old man Zhang Changsuo: "Grandpa, no one bullied me, I just feel wronged!" You don't care, let me talk to Brother Changfeng for a while, okay? ”

"Okay, it's okay for you to talk to your brother Changfeng." Zhang Changsuo hurriedly agreed, Ling'er is a child, and it is easier for Changfeng to communicate with her, so let Changfeng talk to her first, find out why Ling'er is wronged, and ask Changfeng again when he goes back.

Ling'er pulled Zhao Changfeng into her own hut and closed the door, "Ling'er, why do you feel wronged, can you tell your brother now?" Zhao Changfeng said.

Ling'er sat on the bed with her head down, looking at her toes, and her eyes were red. After a long time, Ling'er raised her head and said, "Brother, I heard the conversation between you and grandpa just now. ”

Zhao Changfeng said strangely: "Ling'er, you heard what conversation I had with my grandfather." ”

Ling'er said, "You ask grandpa what my dad do......

"Oh, that's it?" Zhao Changfeng said: "Ling'er, it's because my brother asked you what your father did, aren't you happy?" ”

Ling'er bit her lip and shook her head lightly, "It's not ......"

Zhao Changfeng said softly: "Ling'er, then you tell your brother, why are you crying?" ”
