"These people from the center are really bullish." Qian Xinlai watched the two leave, and finally muttered to himself.

Look at the time, Qian Xinlai turned around and returned to the office, the first day of the new year, the hotel's business is better than usual, many people order food in the hotel, the location has already been booked out in advance, although Wangshan is poor, but a huge prefecture-level city, the rich people who do business outside are not far away, this New Year's back, rarely have to have dinner with relatives and friends, rich people like to pay attention to pomp and face, as the only five-star hotel in the city, the hotel business these days is almost all full.

Luo Ling knocked on the door and walked into Qian Xinlai's office, very curious about the guests who had just come, and opened her mouth to ask, "Mr. Qian, who did you just come, and I want you to go downstairs to pick it up in person." ”

"Luo Ling, you're asking too much, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Qian Xinlai stared at Luo Ling and said faintly.

"Yes, I don't ask." Luo Ling was silent, she was most afraid of Qian Xinlai's eyes, and she always felt that she had to choose someone to eat.

"By the way, what about the madman, who has been staying in the guest house?" Qian Xinlai's eyebrows went up, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, the madman in his mouth pointed at Xiurong, for this woman, Qian Xinlai hated it so much, and he also hated himself for not being decisive at the beginning, and directly ended the other party's life.

"Well, I've been staying in the guest house and haven't seen her come out, so didn't Secretary Chen send someone to Changxing City to pick up her husband, and the couple stayed in the guest house for the New Year." Luo Ling nodded.

"This Chen Xing is really humane." Qian Xinlai sneered.

"Mr. Qian, even if they come out, we don't seem to be able to do anything, aren't there people around them to protect them." Luo Ling said.

"I don't know where Chen Xing found the people who protected them, I inquired, but they are not from the Public Security Bureau, nor are they from the armed police." Qian Xinlai frowned.

Luo Ling listened to Qian Xinlai's words, and she could only remain silent at this time, Qian Xinlai didn't know the other party's origin, and she had no way of knowing.

"Forget it, let's leave this matter alone, they stay in the guest house and don't come out, and we can't force it." Qian Xinlai pursed his lips, and then sneered again, "Besides, even if you are that stinky woman, you can't solve the problem, it will only make Chen Xing keep an eye on me tighter, this time I will come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, doesn't Chen Xing always want to check me, Lao Tzu will also give him a hard time." ”

Qian Xin said, looking at Luo Ling, "That bar girl also has to be watched, let her work harder, I think that Li Yong is estimated to be more corrupt than Huang Jianghua." ”

"Okay." Luo Ling nodded with a smile.

There was nothing to say all night, and the night of the New Year, for many people, was immersed in the joy of the New Year, and when the turbulent undercurrent began to appear in Wangshan, even many parties did not know. Chen Xing slept soundly on the night of the first day of junior high school, slept in the office last night, slept with his wife in his arms tonight, and the children were on the side, Chen Xing's heart was also unprecedentedly steady, and he slept directly until dawn all night, and it was rare that he did not dream.

When the rising sun rises from the horizon, it indicates the coming of a new day, the Chinese New Year is a time for Chen Xing to reunite with his family, and it is also a rare day to relax and rest.

The family happened to be full of cars, Chen Ping wanted to drive, but Chen Xing insisted that his father sit and let him drive, he was a leader outside, and he was just a son at home.

"Chen Xing, your uncle's house is in the countryside, and it takes more than an hour to drive this way." Zou Fang and Zhang Ningning sat in the back seat, helping to take care of the children.

"So far?" Chen Xing was surprised.

"You, you don't even know where your mother's maiden family is, you're too incompetent to be a son." Zou Fang shook his head and smiled.

"Mom, it's not that I'm incompetent, you never took me back, how do I know." Chen Xing smiled bitterly.

"Chen Xing, haven't you heard, your mother isn't talking about you at all, she's referring to Sang scolding Huai, talking about me." Chen Ping said angrily.

"It's good that some people know, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have taken Chen Xing back to my parents' house a long time ago." Zou Fang snorted.

"Dad, Mom, stop this topic, don't quarrel anymore, when you go to your uncle's house, don't let people see the jokes." Chen Xing said with a smile.

Chen Ping and Zou Fang glanced at each other, each turned their heads, and the couple didn't have the heart to quarrel, but the old husband and wife always like to quarrel, it seems to be a quarrel, but in fact, it is not a fun in life.

The car was driving on the city and county roads, Chen Xing always thought that his mother was an authentic city person, but now he knew that it was not, his mother only later entered the Forestry Bureau to work, plus his father taught in the city No. 1 Middle School, the two lived in the city, and now listening to his mother, Chen Xing also knew that his understanding of his mother's home was really pitiful, in fact, this can't be blamed on him, his parents never took him to his mother's house, and he basically didn't mention anything at home, so it's strange that he can know.

Uncle Zou Wengang's house is in Yuanjiang District, which is actually one of the districts directly under the city, but it is not the main urban area, it is too far away from the city, and it takes an hour to drive there, which is farther than to some neighboring counties and cities below.

Driving the car, Chen Xing thought about the meeting with Zhong Ling last night, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, he and Zhong Ling belonged to the kind of feeling that even if they hadn't been in touch for a long time, they would still be old friends when they met, like a close friend, and like a confidant.

"Chen Xing, focus on driving." Chen Ping reminded him loudly, and he seemed to be a little distracted when he saw Chen Xing driving.

"Okay, I'll be attentive." Chen Xing said with a smile, busy gathering his mind, the life of the family in the car can't be sloppy.

"You stinky boy, I think you are used to being a leader, there are special cars in and out, there are special drivers waiting for you, and you are not used to driving by yourself." Chen Ping laughed and scolded.

"It's been a long time since I've driven myself." Chen Xing smiled, even if he drove yesterday to burn incense on Ningyun Mountain, he also forgot when he last drove.

"I see you still stop on the side of the road, I'll drive." Chen Ping waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Dad, no need, can't I concentrate on it, so I don't have to worry about your old age." Chen Xing said with a smile.

The car was driving on the road, after arriving in Yuanjiang District, Chen Xing didn't recognize the road, most of his activities were in the downtown area, he rarely came to Yuanjiang District, when he used to be a secretary to Zhou Mingfang, he followed to Yuanjiang District to investigate once, and then he never came again, he was not familiar with the road here, while driving, while listening to his mother's directions.

"Uncle, their family lives quite partially." When turning from the main road in the district to the township road, Chen Xing couldn't help but say something.

"Their family still lives in the countryside, which is a little bit off." Zou Fang nodded.

The car drove on the township road for more than ten minutes, and then turned into a country road, which was also a cement road, but the road was not wide, at most it was enough for two cars to meet the car, it seemed that it was almost to his uncle's house, Chen Xing could even feel the excitement of his mother when she showed him the way.

"I haven't been back in years, and I really can't recognize it." Zou Fang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Qiē in front of him, and his eyes were a little moist.

When she entered the village, Zou Fang found that she really didn't know the road, to be exact, she was not sure where her eldest brother's home was, the village had changed too much, the bungalows in her memory had become three or four storey small buildings, and some people had built five or six floors, plus the village had also built cement roads, so that she couldn't recognize it, she only remembered that only the road leading to the village outside was a cement road, and the village was still a dirt road, and now even the village was full of cement roads, she was a little dumbfounded, after arriving in the village, For a while, he didn't know the way.

Zou Fang called her eldest sister, she came back today and didn't tell her eldest brother Zou Wengang in advance, although she hadn't been in touch for many years, she actually had Zou Wengang's phone on the phone, but she didn't call, but called her eldest sister to ask for directions, deep down, she also had an expectation, hoping to give her eldest brother a surprise.

Zou Fang was on the phone, Chen Xing looked up at the window from time to time, Yuanjiang District is the most backward district among several municipal districts in Haicheng, and it is also the farthest urban area from the downtown area, but looking at the living standards of the rural areas, the living conditions in the rural areas are better than those in the most developed counties and cities in Wangshan, and I have to admit that the gap between the inland cities and the coastal cities is indeed very large, and the road to be taken in Wangshan is still very long, which is Chen Xing's only idea at the moment.

Zou Fang made a phone call, after clarifying the location of his party, according to the direction told by the eldest sister on the phone, prompted Chen Xing how to go, about one or two hundred meters ahead, after turning a corner, Zou Fang put down the phone in his hand, and looked at the bungalow in front of him with some excitement, the houses on the side have been built, but the middle one is still a one-story stone house, Zou Fang knows that the life of the eldest brother has not been particularly good over the years, but when he saw with his own eyes that the gap with the surrounding neighbors is so big, Zou Fang also felt a little inexplicably sour.

"Wen Gang's family hasn't changed at all." Chen Ping also said stupidly at this time, seeing that his brother-in-law was not having a good time, although he had conflicts with the other party in the past, he did not have the idea of gloating.

"Chen Xing, Ning Ning, let's get off." Zou Fang rubbed her eyes, not wanting others to see her gaffe.

"Chen Xing, your grandparents passed away early, I used to be brought up by your uncle and aunt, the eldest brother is like a father, your uncle's family is my maiden family, although I have never brought you here before, but you have to remember here when you come today, remember where your mother got married." Zou Fang said with some sadness, she felt that her sister had no conscience, and she really hadn't come back to see her all these years.

"Mom, don't worry, I don't dare to forget if I am killed, I will honor my uncle later." Chen Xing nodded, and when he saw his mother's appearance, he also put away his laughter.

"It's not that you haven't cared about Wen Gang over the years, and you've asked your eldest sister to bring money to Wen Gang several times, so you don't have no conscience, so don't think about it." Chen Ping seemed to feel his wife's thoughts, and comforted him, after all, they have been husband and wife for more than 30 years, and what his wife is thinking, Chen Ping can guess at a glance.

The family walked forward, and the old stone house seemed to be a little broken, but Chen Xing didn't have the slightest idea of looking down on it, after all, this was his mother's maiden home.

Before he got closer, Chen Xing heard the quarrel from inside, turned his head to look at his mother, he believed that his mother had also heard it, and saw that his mother's face was also a little confused, and she quickened her pace.

There was a fierce quarrel in the house, and there were people outside the door looking at him, Zou Fang walked in quickly, and happened to see that his eldest brother was punched, and he almost fell to the ground, and exclaimed, "Brother, are you okay?" ”

Chen Ping walked behind him, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately widened his eyes, although he and Zou Wengang's brother-in-law also fought, but it was his family's business, and no matter how his family fights, it is his family's business, even if he hated Zou Wengang, but after so many years, it has long since disappeared, and he is talking with his wife, that is to say, he is angry, where is he really still holding a grudge, this will see someone beating Zou Wengang, looking at the young man who has not grown any hair, Chen Ping's hot temper came up at once, and he rushed over in three steps and two steps, pushed the young man who beat people, and said angrily, "What are you doing this little guy, who told you to beat people." ”

The young man who beat the man was pushed, stunned, and then looked fierce, "Where did you come from, I sue you, don't be nosy, otherwise I will beat you together." ”

"Tsk, you still have the ability to beat the old man." Chen Ping heard the other party's words, and laughed angrily, he has enjoyed the compliments and flattery of others in the past few years, those who want to slap the slap in with his son Chen Xing, for him, who is Lao Tzu, is almost like the emperor, this is the first time someone has spoken to him like this.

"It's not good to beat the old man, but don't mess with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will be able to beat him." The young man laughed evilly, he had been here a few times, the other party was not from Zou Wengang's family, he recognized it at a glance, and pointed his finger at Chen Pingping, "It's none of your business, you'd better not be nosy, just push me that time, Lao Tzu doesn't care about you, and if you dare to push Lao Bang again, don't blame Lao Tzu for beating you." ”

"If you have the ability, you can try it." Chen Ping rolled up his sleeves, with a posture of wanting to fight, although he is a teacher, but he is also short-tempered, otherwise he would not have beaten Zou Wengang's brother-in-law first because of a momentary anger.

Chen Xing walked in, and when he saw his father's appearance, he smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect his father to be a lot older, and his temper has not changed, and he thought that he had seen his father smile at everyone in the past few years, and he had cultivated himself, and now he knew that his father's temper had always been there.

When his gaze turned to the young man, Chen Xing's face was already gloomy, he could allow others to scold him, but he would never allow others to scold his family.
