I was forced by my father to ask and didn't know how to answer, but at this moment the fat man came over with two bottles of wine, interrupting the awkward atmosphere in time. After he put down the wine, I was about to speak, when my father suddenly shook his head at me and said: "Actually, more than ten years ago, you often ran business with Xiao Cui outside, and I felt that it was wrong. I don't want to know what exactly you do, but I just want to ask, is the work you do illegal, will it hurt nature? ”

I immediately shook my head and said, "No." ”

"Our Lao Ba family is not a big family, but it is an upright person, I believe you have not done anything bad, I won't ask anything else. In addition, in the future, you kid must call me regularly when you go out, if you dare not fight, I will break your legs! "He pretended to scare me.

This may be a conversation between all fathers and sons, people like to educate people when they are old, and they don't really work so well for scaring children, but they like to say that, and when it comes to the crossroads of my thirties, I cherish my father's nagging.

"I picked it up, I'm ready to eat, I'm lazy today, get a hot pot and make mutton." The fat man said loudly, "Shanzi, don't sit still, go and help me adjust the leek flowers, uncle is so good." ”

Whether the food is good or not, whether the wine is good or not is not only the food and the wine itself, but also the people who accompany the meal. I have been wandering for so many years, and I have also eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas that ordinary people have not tasted, but they are not as good as the warm pot in front of me today, and they are not as good as the cans of beer at hand.

Dad is old, the amount of alcohol is not as good as in the past, after drinking two bottles, his head is a little dizzy, and after three bottles, he wants to sleep in a daze. Aunt Xue helped take care of him and helped him back to the room. I, the fat man, and Yuan Feng with a big belly are left. That's when we got down to business.

"What is 507 going to do when he got you back this time?" The fat man opened his mouth and asked, I briefly told me about the matter of Yaling Fort, and the fat man muttered: "Damn, I'm looking for your help again, we haven't had enough favors over the years!" ”

I smiled and took a sip of wine and said: "The problem is not in favors, but in the fact that there will be no trouble, what I am afraid is that if Sha Lao dies, many people in 507 will regard me as a thorn in their side, and I am afraid that it will always be difficult for me at that time." ”

"That's right, Sha Lao can't die, so I won't tell you. In the past few years, Deputy Director Xia has been suppressed enough, but the 507 Institute is also not peaceful, and several new forces have emerged. Ying Long is not as obedient as in the past, this kid is born with backbones, similar to Wei Yan! Seeing that Sha Lao was old and precarious, he thought about it and wanted to plot the power of 507, and he contacted me several times to ask me to support him. I said it's my, don't involve us in your 507 infighting. ”

I smiled, it's normal for Ying Long to be ambitious, after all, the combat power of Team Zero is indeed high.

"And then?" I asked.

"It's not just Ying Long, 507 is in chaos right now, I don't recommend you to wade into the troubled waters this time, in case they know that you are back, they will definitely trouble you." The fat man waved his hand and shouted.

"I can't help it." I said helplessly, "Originally, I wanted to ask you for help when I came back, but depending on your situation, you still accompanied Feng'er to recuperate at home." ”

"That's not good...... the fat man shouted as a matter of course, but halfway through the shout, he looked back at Yuan Feng, Yuan Feng smiled at me: "I can take care of myself alone, and besides, there are little goblins and Aunt Xue to help, it's fine." Cui Zhen will follow you to Yaling Fort, with you, he will definitely be able to come back safely. ”

I have always felt that there are two biggest blessings in the fat man's life, one is to have an old hero like Mr. Cui as a grandfather, and he has been educated to be an upright person since he was a child. The second is to have Yuan Feng as his wife, who is reasonable and has a great sense of the overall situation.

The fat man was a little embarrassed, so I waved my hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first, I don't know when I will leave." ”

Faced with this situation, how can I take the fat man to Yaling Fort, such a terrible evil land, even if I have the ability to take him out, what if I am contaminated with evil qi and harm the child? So I changed the topic, made up my mind in my heart, and secretly set off with the people of the 507 Institute, so I didn't take the fat man with me.

"What about Tang Yuyan? How? I asked.

"Yu Yan has spent most of these years in the Longyuan Ancient Land, and Master Xiao Wang has taught him to control his dreams. It seems that there has been progress, and I will go to the Ryubara Ancient Land to meet her regularly and bring her some daily necessities and food in. She will also leave the Longyuan Ancient Land regularly for a while to breathe, and by the way, she will use the equipment in the 507 base to analyze her current state. The control of the old woman is not bad, I have seen her refreshed recently, but I didn't inform her about your return, first, she can't help much, and second, I heard that she and Master Xiao Wang have made a big breakthrough, and they have recently had a decisive negotiation with the old woman, and may be able to make the old woman succumb. So don't bother her......" replied the fat man at once.

After thinking about it, he said, "It seems that except for Luo Qiong, everyone is doing well." Hehe...... What about the Lingjia? How's Lingqian governed? ”

After saying that, I wanted to light a cigarette, but I noticed that a pregnant woman was there, so I put the cigarette down.

"Lingqian is now changeable! In the past, although we had some ideas, we were still a little girl who needed to rely on us when we rescued her, but now it is different. People have become strong women, the remaining two ancestors of the Ling family don't know what method she used to settle down, her position as the head of the family is stable, Lingyan has wanted to rebel a few times, and the rumors have spread, but in the end they were easily resolved by Lingqian. Xiao Nizi's ability is not small...... "Actually, I saw that Lingqian had a lot of ideas at the beginning, and I could see that she had ideas and courage to catch demons from us twice, but at that time there was no good stage for her to play, and there was not enough backing and strength to put her on the throne, but now that the Haotian family is behind her back and has taken the position of the head of the family, it is a good opportunity for her to show her strength, and it is not surprising that she will have her current achievements."

"By the way, someone knows you're back." The fat man said suddenly.

"Who?" I took a bite and asked strangely.

"Shen Mengtian ......"

The fat man told me that the old man of the Shen family passed away last year, and Shen Mengtian inherited the Shen family mansion, and with the help of Mr. Xu Cong, he got through some difficulties and settled some people who tried to spy on her property. Now he has officially become the master of the Shen family, and he usually lives in the Shen family mansion, on the surface, she is a rich woman, invests in some charity, and has a two-headed demon at home, although she is not in the circle, but she also knows everything in the circle.

"People are still single." Yuan Feng said this meaningfully, I paused, shook his head with a smile and said, "I know what you mean, but marriage and falling in love are not suitable for me." Forget it. Come, drink, stop talking about business, get together today. ”

When a person reaches the threshold of thirty, a lot of changes will occur. It is normal for a boy in his twenties to be playful and crazy, to speak childishly, and to be naïve. But after reaching thirty, it is as if you have awakened all of a sudden, you will understand a lot of truths, experience a lot of hardships, know that life is not easy, and understand the sinister nature of society.

Men mature later than women, but after thirty, men can take responsibility.

I drank a lot of wine with the fat man, and then Yuan Feng, who didn't touch the wine, drove the fat man back, I went back to my old room, I slept in this room when I was a teenager, and I still sleep here, there are old posters of the Little Tigers on the wall, they were popular in the eighties, and the fat man often pulled me and said that he was a handsome little tiger, and I was a good tiger.

Now the poster has also been yellowed, but there is not much dust on the table and the edge of the bed, and it is clear that the family cleans it often.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking back at the mirror, my eyes flashed faintly in the mirror in the room without the light, lit a cigarette, and said while smoking: "After turning around, people still have to return to their roots." ”

I slept very comfortably this night, I don't know if it was because I went home to relax, or if my old bed was particularly reassuring to me.

The next day, near noon, Uncle A called and said that the car that picked me up had arrived at my doorstep. I washed up and went out, and when I looked up, I saw that it was a black military jeep that had driven to my door.

At the same time, I could feel several pairs of eyes looking at me, and when I turned my head, there seemed to be a few people sitting in the cars next to me, who were not very friendly to me.
