Chapter 9: "He" is Him
"I don't eat lunch at home, and I need to visit Prosecutor Xu's house. It's almost the New Year, and I need to go and greet him. A relatively burly middle-aged man in his 50s walked out of the law office carrying a box of Hanwoo gift boxes and talked on the phone as he walked to the parking lot.
On the other side of the phone was a female voice, also the middle-aged man's wife: "Do you want us to go with you?" I'll give ...... a call."
"No, I'll just go by myself, in a few days. Wait until it's almost the New Year's and bring your daughter with you. I went this time because I had something to discuss with Prosecutor Lin. ”
"Okay, then you be careful on the road and help me say hello." The middle-aged woman did not argue anything. Their men talk about things, and she can't understand them as a woman, and it's better not to understand them.
"Hmm." The middle-aged man hung up the phone and got into the car.
......
It looks ordinary on the outside, and even if someone passes by, it will be regarded as an ordinary small building. Indeed, this is actually an ordinary 4-storey residential building, without any peculiarities.
The living environment of his parents' house is good, which is hundreds of times better than what Lin Zhexun lives in now.
Lin Zhexun parked his modern scooter not far from the downstairs of his parents' house. Empty-handed, ready to go upstairs. After all, children who are not separated do not need to bring gifts to the door. But after taking two steps, I saw a familiar Maybach parked downstairs. Lin Zhexun's heart moved, and his heart was a little complicated. After hesitating, he walked up to the third floor in three steps and two steps.
Doodoo ......
didn't wait long, and a middle-aged woman opened the door for Lin Zhexun. It was his mother, Lu Huiying.
Lu Huiying, Lin's mother, who hadn't seen her son for a long time, was full of smiles, and she wanted a mother's love hug when she met.
However, Lin Zhexun took half a step back and dodged.
After all, she is not her biological mother. This made it difficult for Lin Zhexun to accept the hug of a woman who was a stranger to him. Of course, he is also careful about life and death. Because he looked down on his mother as a housewife before, he had a bit of a typical Korean "machismo" flavor.
So, in order to maintain your own personality, you will not make mistakes in such a small place.
Lu Huiying was not very sad, she had long been accustomed to her son's disregard for her passion. "Zhe Xun went to wash his hands first. Meals will have to wait a little longer. ”
Lin Zhexun nodded, saw that there was no one in the living room, and asked, "Is Uncle Zheng in the study?" ”
"Well, the two of them are talking about things in the study, let's eat together later. Oh, your Uncle Zheng, he also brought a box of Hansang gift boxes. I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Lu Huiying walked into the kitchen and continued to cook lunch, because there was a temporary person, so she needed to cook more dishes. Need roast beef? Or spicy beef broth? Or the raw beef salad you like to eat. Do you want to marinate beef? Oh yes, yes, yes, there is no ginger left, there is no way to pickle. It's a bit difficult to mix raw beef. I'm going to go to the market again. ”
As soon as Lu Huiying entered the kitchen, she began to nag loudly, looking like a middle-aged woman.
"I don't want to eat raw beef, you can just deal with it. Whatever you want. ”
Raw beef? I'm sorry, Lin Zhexun can't accept it. Sashimi sashimi is also counted. I really can't accept this bloody thing like raw beef, don't you feel disgusting? Ru Mao drinks blood. Is it uncivilized or maintaining traditional eating habits, so traditional I haven't seen you keep Chinese characters permanently.
"Huh?" Lu Suying was stunned for a moment, and glanced at her son a little unexpectedly, "Then roast Korean beef." ”
Lin Zhexun walked around the house inside and out, but did not see the back he wanted to see. Turning around, he walked back to the kitchen and asked, "Is Uncle Zheng alone?" ”
"yes, he's alone."
......
Father Lin was holding a brush on the desk and walking on rice paper, while Lawyer Zheng stood aside, carefully grinding ink for Father Lin, looking fascinated.
"Good words, good words, Inspector Lin, your words are really full of pen and ink, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and strength through the back of the paper" The voice is a bit heavy, and it sounds very imposing. However, there is a sense of flattery in the words that come out. It doesn't match the sound.
"If you don't understand, don't comment, you don't know calligraphy, in case I write poorly this time, you praise it here. Should I be happy, or should I be angry? Father Lin shook his head with a smile, ignoring Lawyer Zheng's sycophants at all.
It's true that Lawyer Zheng really can't read it, and even Father Lin doesn't understand the handwriting very well. It's all written in Chinese characters. Although as a lawyer, certain Chinese characters are naturally understandable, after all, as a legal worker. Many Chinese characters are compulsory. But what Father Lin wrote was a kind of calligraphy.
There is such a thing as calligraphy, which can really only be understood by Chinese people and those who specialize in calligraphy. Sometimes there are some words that may not be understood by Chinese people.
Lawyer Zheng is also a little embarrassed, he is not particularly good at slapping horses, and he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, so in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he changed the topic. "Sorry to disturb your weekend. You finally came back from Daejeon Metropolitan City to reunite with your wife. I also came to pay an abrupt visit. ”
"It's nothing, they're all good friends, nothing troublesome. Aren't the two little ones getting along well? It's almost kissing and kissing. What's polite," Father Lin said with a glorious smile.
"That's nature."
"By the way, Zhexun also came back from Mapo today, and your father-in-law will not have a gift for him." Father Lin put down the brush in his hand and looked at his work, a little proud.
"Is Zhexun coming back too? That was my negligence, I'll let them ...... now"
"Forget it, no, I'm kidding. A Hanniu gift box is enough, otherwise there will be problems. Father Lin smiled and put down the middle brush in his hand, "Those clients of your firm, let them all pay attention." Don't let them do anything that violates the rules. Otherwise, if I am transferred back to the Seoul High Inspection Department in another year, they will not feel good. ”
"Hahaha, Prosecutor Lin, don't worry, I will take a good look at it, and I will report to you if there is a problem."
"What to report or not, we are the same year, peers, peers." Father Lin patted Lawyer Zheng on the shoulder, got up from the desk, opened the door of the study and walked out.
Lin Zhexun, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, heard the movement and hurriedly got up and greeted Father Lin who came out of the study: "Father, I'm back." ”
"It's coming." Father Lin glanced at his son who was respectful to him, and just nodded and said hello, his attitude was completely opposite to that of his mother Lu Huiying, very cold.
"Zhe Xun! How's that, I haven't seen you in a long time. It's a lot stronger," Lawyer Zheng naturally followed Father Lin out of the room, and saw that Lin Zhexun's enthusiasm was still undiminished.
"Hello Uncle Zheng, no matter how strong I am, I can't be like you, you are my role model." Lin Zhexun glanced at Lawyer Zheng's strong muscles and smiled slightly.
Lawyer Zheng patted his biceps: "It's useless, people in their 50s, and the muscles of their youth have collapsed." It's all a pile of dead meat now. ”
"Even if it's dead flesh, your strength is still there, but it only takes me three seconds to hit you." Lin Zhexun stood up, prepared to make tea for the two elders, and continued: "In three seconds, you may be about to pinch my people and beg me not to die. After all, you've been a boxer before, and I've heard that you've knocked out some people with one punch? ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, what's the name of a sentence?"
"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year?" Father Lin suddenly interjected and said a Chinese proverb.
The atmosphere in the living room was very quiet, Lawyer Zheng was able to hear it in a fog, and Lin Zhexun was a little surprised, he didn't expect his father's Chinese culture to be so proficient.
"What do you mean?"
"Even brilliant men never mention the timing of the creation of the year, because they are still making history." Lin Zhexun put two cups of brewed hot tea on the coffee table.
"It makes sense that I'm not retired yet, and I can still work. 50 years old is the peak of a man, isn't it? Lawyer Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "But the Chinese proverb? ”
"Right"
Father Lin glanced at Lin Zhexun, who was a little courteous to Lawyer Zheng, exhaled from his nose, and said expressionlessly: "Your Judicial Research Institute's results and appointments have come down, and the people from the Ministry of Justice have told me, and the notice will be officially issued tomorrow." ”
Lawyer Zheng and Lin Zhexun were both stunned and looked at each other. Lin Zhexun was a little confused, he just recalled his parents' personalities and some details between them on the way. What is this matter of the Ministry of Justice? It's really my own fault. The brain hurriedly began to recall, and asked as he recalled, "Appointment?" ”
"Really?" The voice came from the kitchen, and Lu Huiying overheard her husband's words just when she was just putting the food on the table.
"Judges, prosecutors, lawyers. So what is the result? Let's just say it. If it's a lawyer, it's fine, come to our office, I'll cover you. Lawyer Zheng made a joke and patted Lin Zhexun's shoulder to alleviate the somewhat dignified atmosphere in the living room.
Father Lin nodded, and picked up a cup of Lin Zhexun's tea from the coffee table: "You graduated with the 356 graduates of this class of the Judicial Research Institute. You have a good 9th place, plus a previous application of interest. Next Wednesday you report to the Seoul Eastern Prosecutor's Office and become a trainee prosecutor. ”
"Great!!" Lu Huiying and lawyer Zheng quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lin Zhexun has been stunned over there. He still didn't realize how he had become a trainee prosecutor in South Korea.
Memories are like random files on your hard drive with random names shuffled. Only when you open up the memories will they come to light one by one.
When I was a child, I watched my father come back from outside wearing a black examination gown and carrying a white scarf. I remember that when I was in junior high school, I began to prepare for the college entrance examination, and I seriously studied calculus, which can only be learned in the third year of high school in Korea. I recall that I would only spend 3 hours a day in my senior year of high school and then study frantically in various tuition institutions. Knowing that he was not excited to be admitted to Seoul National University, he continued to study hard every day to complete the 35 credits of the Faculty of Law as soon as possible.
After completing the credits, he took a leave of absence to serve in the military and completed the bar exam in the army. After two years of military service, he attended the Judicial Research and Training Institute and completed his bachelor's degree in law from Seoul National University.
The goal in life is clear, which is to become a prosecutor. We have been working hard for 15 years. Everything is for today's news.
For Lin Zhexun, this kind of memory is immersive, and waves of memories hit his heart.
saw the achievements of the other party for so many years, but was taken away by himself overnight. There is a heart of compassion in my heart. glanced at the way she was talking and laughing with Lin Mu Lu Huiying over there, and suddenly felt a sense of resentment.
If, if his daughter does not break up with himself. Then maybe all this was inquired by Lin Zhe.
At this moment, Lin Zhexun finally began to face up to his identity. Since he was also called Lin Zhexun before, then "he" is him.
