Lunch.

Although Lin Ming was transferred, because today was the day when Lin Ye came to pay New Year's greetings, Aunt Lin Ye still prepared a table full of dishes.

"Can you have a drink?"

Lin Tang took a bottle of good wine from the room and came out, and Lin Ye nodded.

"Dad, I can too, I don't have to go to duty in the afternoon." Lin Ming looked at the wine that his father took out, and he was also greedy, but he knew that his father had been hiding this bottle of wine for many years.

This bottle of wine was kept in his father's study for at least ten years, and when he was admitted to college, he asked his father to take it out, but his father was not willing to take it.

"Lin Ye, it's better that you're here, my dad took out the best wine in his collection, and I'm also thanking you today."

Although the job was transferred, Lin Ming was not very obsessed, his temperament was like this, he belonged to the optimist faction.

"Then you'll have a few more drinks later."

Lin Tang looked at the words of Lin Ye and Lin Ming, but his eyes fell on the wine: "It's not that I don't open this bottle of wine, this is a winery in Raocheng, when I just joined the work and came to Quanzhou, Uncle Ling gave me a whole piece, and now there is only such a bottle left, and if I drink it again, it will be gone." ”

Lin Ming's expression was also gloomy, he had just entered high school when the uncle left, and his mother didn't rush back to see the uncle for the last time because of his studies, and his father and mother quarreled several times about this matter.

In the past, when the uncle and aunt were still there, his father would take him back to Raocheng every summer vacation, and this was also the day he was most looking forward to at that time.

In Raocheng, he can take his cousin to play everywhere, without his mother by his side, and his father is even less afraid, but if his father dares to murder him, as long as he hides from his uncle, it will be his uncle's turn to teach his father a lesson.

"Your grandfather left early, I was raised by your uncle, when the family was poor, the village gave us a place to be a soldier, your uncle took the initiative to give me this place, if there is no such place, I didn't go to be a soldier, how can you have such a good life now."

Lin Tang was very emotional, the death of his eldest brother was a pain in his heart, the so-called eldest brother was his father, but when he worked at a critical time, his nephew had to stay in Raocheng, so he had been ashamed of his eldest brother and sister-in-law all these years.

When his nephew was in high school, he privately added the phone number of his nephew's homeroom teacher, and once his nephew did something bad in school, he would go back to Raocheng to bring his nephew to Quanzhou.

It's another thing to study well or badly, but you must not let your nephew go down the wrong path.

"Fortunately, you are still angry and have not embarrassed your eldest brother and sister-in-law, but I, who is an uncle, have not fulfilled much responsibility."

"Uncle, do you still have my homeroom teacher's number?" Lin Ye didn't expect that his uncle would still have contact with his high school homeroom teacher.

"At that time, when I went back to Raocheng to see you every year, I would ask your head teacher to come out to meet for a meal, your head teacher's younger brother and I were comrades-in-arms, I asked him to take care of you more often, and tell me in time if there is any situation."

Listening to his uncle's words, Lin Ye recalled that in the three years of high school, the old class seemed to take care of himself, not to mention anything else, he should have sat in the last two rows with his height, but the old class arranged a position in the middle for himself.

In addition, there are some subsidized scholarships, and I have also been selected.

"Lao Zhao is not kind, I thought he was a good teacher, but it turned out that he was bribed by your uncle."

Lin Tang listened to his words, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I just invited someone to have a meal, and as the head teacher of a key high school, they missed this meal?" ”

"Uncle, I'm kidding."

Lin Ye hurriedly explained, he was just joking, Lao Zhao is still very responsible, and as his uncle said, as the head teacher of a key high school, if he buys it after a few meals, it is too worthless, or because his uncle and other brothers are comrades-in-arms, he sells a relationship of human face.

"Your uncle sent me a message saying that you bought a car and made money just after graduation?"

Lin Tang asked this because after the eldest brother and sister-in-law had an accident and left, there was a compensation, which was in the name of his nephew, but he was acting as a guardian at the time, and he kept the passbook, which is still in his place and has not been touched, which shows that the nephew bought a car and earned it by work.

"Well, I bought a scooter."

"Buying a car is a good thing, and now it's normal for young people to buy a car after graduation, but your focus now is on work, don't think about pleasure, and then you should buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law, the current house price in Raocheng should be about 8,000, the last time I went back to Raocheng, I saw a few newly built real estate OK, you can pick one to give the house first."

Lin Tang knew very well that he was just an uncle, and if his nephew's money had been kept here for him, even if his nephew had no opinions, his sister-in-law's relatives would definitely gossip, and as early as when his nephew was about to graduate, he would consider giving the money to his nephew and letting his nephew buy a house.

Young people spend money without moderation, and they are easy to be deceived, so it is most suitable to buy a house.

Lin Ye listened to the warmth in his heart, he didn't expect his uncle to think so much about himself, he always felt that he came here alone over the years, and there was not much contact with relatives.

From the conversation with his uncle on the first day of the first lunar month, as well as his uncle's words now, he understands that the elders actually care about him silently, but they don't express these things on the surface like the sister-in-law, but care about themselves in their own way.

"Uncle, I'm looking for a good job now, and I've bought a house."

"Bought it, you bought it so soon?" Lin Tang suddenly became nervous: "You kid buy a car, you young people understand, but why don't you tell me about such a big thing as buying a house, this house has to be lived in for a lifetime, you have to choose it carefully, where did you buy the house?" ”

"The ...... over there in Xinjiang Bay Garden"

"Xinjiang Bay Garden, it's not bad over there, no, the houses over there seem to cost fifteen thousand upwards, and they are all big flats, Lin Ye!"

Lin Tang's expression suddenly became serious, he had been in the public security industry for so many years, he had seen too many young people go down the evil road in order to get rich, especially now that the Internet has provided many young people with a way to commit crimes.

He was afraid that his nephew would not also embark on this path.

Just when Lin Tang was about to ask clearly, his mobile phone rang suddenly, Xiao Geng called, but he was not in the mood to care about his son's work now, compared to his nephew's affairs at the moment.

Lin Tang didn't answer the phone, and after a while, Lin Ming's phone rang while sitting on the other side.

"Dad, it's a call from Geng Ju, there may be something urgent, I'll answer it."

Lin Ming didn't dare not answer the phone like his father, so he pressed the answer button and said, "Geng Ju ......"

A minute later, Lin Ming hung up the phone, his expression was a little strange, Lin Tang saw his son's expression, and couldn't help but scold: "If there is anything, just say it directly." ”

"Geng Ju told me that the Xiang Bureau is going to hold a team meeting to readjust the work, and I may not have to go to the town, and Geng Ju also said that he has not come to our house to pay New Year's greetings this year, and asked if you are free, and I am ready to come to you for a while."

"Give me a New Year's greeting?"

Lin Tang was stunned, this is the seventh day of the first lunar month, how can there be a New Year's greeting now?

Unlike visiting relatives, visiting relatives comes to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, but generally in this kind of unit, in the past, they used to come on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and besides, there were people who suddenly came to the door.

"I'll call a colleague."

Lin Tang picked up his mobile phone and made a call out, and after hanging up the phone, he looked at Lin Ye: "Xiao Ye, what is the origin of your friend, he actually made the Dexiang Bureau reconvene in the afternoon just after the meeting in the morning, and specifically mentioned Xiao Ming's work change." ”

His son is not in his position, and some things are still not in contact, but he called and asked, if it was sent by the Xiang Bureau in person, you must know that in a public security system like them, it is generally the deputy executive who works for the abbot, and the Xiang Bureau is more just the rudder in the general direction.

After all, the Xiang Bureau also has other positions.

Don't say that you have retired, even if you don't retire, you don't have such a big face, and your son is even more impossible, if you have this ability, you will be bullied and transferred to the countryside, then only this call made by your nephew.

"Uncle, I don't know, but he should be very energetic."

"It's a little too much, I listened to the tone given by my old colleague, this is the intention to let your brother be the captain."

"Uncle, it's not that my brother doesn't have that ability, under the influence of your old criminal policeman, you can't not believe in your own strength."

Lin Ye didn't feel that he was suspected of abusing power for personal gain, even if he did, it would be fine, this society itself is not absolutely fair, there is a saying on the Internet that is very appropriate.

The efforts of three generations of people's ancestors, why should you lose ten years of hard work.

"Since you can meet such a friend, it is normal for you to be able to buy a house, but uncle, I still have to remind you that you must consider everything in everything." Lin Tang didn't ask his nephew what the origin of that friend was.

"Uncle, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

"Well, you have a chance, your parents should rest assured, accompany your uncle to have a drink today, Lin Ming, call that Xiao Geng, just say that I am not free in the afternoon, let him not come."

"Okay." Lin Ming nodded, he was also unhappy with the Geng Bureau, his father didn't take care of him when he was there, this time he stepped down, and asked if there was a suitable successor, and his father also pushed him, but as soon as his father stepped down, he didn't come to pay New Year's greetings this year, and he didn't say a word about it.

This wine, in the end, was drunk until two o'clock in the afternoon, a total of three bottles of wine were drunk, Lin Ye watched his aunt send the drunk uncle back to the room, and also smiled, last time the uncle was drunk, and now it is the turn of the uncle.

"Lin Ye, to tell the truth, my dad should be the happiest over the years, today should be the happiest, he thinks he can explain to his uncle and aunt, my dad used to be under pressure at work, he would lock himself in the study alone, I eavesdropped outside the door several times, and I heard my dad crying in a low voice, and all the names in his mouth were uncle's name."

Lin Ming patted Lin Ye on the shoulder and sighed: "The eldest brother is like a father, in my father's heart, the uncle is actually the father, if the uncle is here, my father will not be able to tell some hardships." ”

Lin Ye pursed his lips and didn't speak, he remembered a sentence, the old people look helpless when they are old and weak, that is because their parents are gone, but as long as their parents are still there, they will not suffer.

The two brothers decided to go downstairs, but as soon as they arrived downstairs, Lin Ming looked at a middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the unit, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Geng Ju, why are you here." ”

"I'm here to greet your dad for the New Year, it's not a relative at home who brought a little bit of a special product from the countryside, I'll send it over."

"My dad got drunk at noon and is sleeping now, this ......"

"It's okay, since the old leader is asleep, then I'll come over next time, you take these things, the bureau will have a meeting soon, I have to rush back, Xiao Ming, don't worry, I will definitely speak for you at the meeting, you can't just retreat from the old leader's side, this will get you to the countryside, isn't this chilling the hearts of the old people in our system?"

"Thank you for that."

Lin Ming took the gift, looked at Geng Ju who got into the car and left, pouted towards Linlin, and said: "Lin Ye, do you see it, this is called a mouth, this is hearing the wind, I guess I thought my dad knew some big person, so he came over immediately, and spoke for me, I asked my colleagues in the office, and they wanted to adjust me in the morning, but I didn't put a." ”

"Since it was promoted by our uncle, there's no reason to be so snobbish, right?"

Lin Ye was a little puzzled, many times the incumbents would promote one or two, so that after they retired, there would be someone who could take care of their offspring and relatives, which was also to prevent people from going to the tea and cold.

"What else can I do, in order to continue to climb up, the deputy who works as the abbot now doesn't deal with my father, although they are all deputies, but the deputy of the other people is different from his deputy, and there is a relationship behind the people, thinking about settling with the people, I bah, I still want to go to my house to pay New Year's greetings."

"If you know that it's such a person, don't bother with it in the future." Lin Ye saw his cousin's unangry appearance, and he also persuaded him.

"After this incident, he will become a laughing stock, and it is estimated that he will have to find a relationship to transfer himself away." Lin Ming nodded, saw Lin Ye's puzzled eyes, and explained.

There are many things in the system, especially when it comes to personnel adjustments, there is no secret at all, this Geng Minghai was promoted by his father, and he did not speak for himself, this matter must have spread.

Now that his house has become a hot stove again, I don't know how many people will laugh at Geng Minghai, but whenever Geng Minghai wants to make a face, he is embarrassed to stay in the bureau, either he asks Ying to go below, or he is looking for a relationship to transfer away.

"We can't take care of other people's affairs, since we have become this captain, we have to be sorry for this position."

"Of course, if I dare to neglect my duties, my father will have to kill my relatives first."

"I believe in you." Lin Ye nodded, he still believed in his uncle's tutor.

"Since my uncle is asleep, then I won't wait for our uncle, I'll go back to Raocheng, and you can talk to your uncle when the time comes."

"Let's go back, stay a few more days, let my sister take you to visit various scenic spots in Quanzhou, you haven't even been there for a day, how can you leave so quickly."

Lin Ming didn't let it, Lin Ye shook his head, to be honest, he originally thought that he didn't have many relatives in the real world, and he only thought about people who didn't care about anything except his sister-in-law, and he thought about hanging up in the real world for three or five years several times, and living in another world.

This New Year made him change this idea, in the real world, there are still people he cares about and cares about, and there are quite a few.

"Something."

Lin Ming stared at Lin Ye for a long time, and finally said, "There is a saying at my father's wine table that is right, no matter what you do now, remember, my father will always be your uncle." ”

"Well, I remember, go back and apologize to my aunt for me."

"My mom is so temperamental, now your status in my family is higher than my dad, I will tell my mother."

……

Leaving his uncle's house, Lin Ye chose to hang up on the high-speed train back to Raocheng.

Another world.

It's also Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Uncle Xu had already replaced the entire house with new lanterns, and the couplets at the door were also replaced with new ones.

"The sound of firecrackers removes the old year, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu"

"Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one."

Lin Ye sighed with emotion, and Uncle Xu was curious when he heard it: "Young Master, what is the peach talisman?" ”

"Peach Charm...... A kind of thing from my hometown. ”

There is no peach charm in the other world, Lin Ye chatted with Xu Bo for a few words, and then turned around and walked towards Qingfeng Temple.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Dawu put on a new Taoist robe today, and the whole person was very excited, Lin Ye nodded, and continued to walk inside, just as the old Dao also walked out head-on.

Lao Dao is also wearing a new Taoist robe today, and the whole person is very festive and spiritual.

"Master, you are radiant today, and the spring breeze is blowing on your face, which is a sign of spring for a dead tree."

"Nonsense." Lao Dao glared at Lin Ye, but then he let out a startled sigh and looked back and forth on Lin Ye.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"What have you been doing these days, the temperament of the whole person has changed a little, and it has become closer to nature."

"Is there one?"

Lin Ye thought about it, the biggest possibility was this Spring Festival trip in the real world, which made him untie some knots.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it's really strange."

The old Taoist was surprised, Lin Ye changed the topic and asked, "Master, have you ever heard of a pawnshop?" ”

"Go out and turn left, two streets, there is one, but the pawnshop shopkeeper is more black-hearted, and then one street, there is a Chen's pawnshop is fair."

Lin Ye: ......

"I'm talking about the kind of pawnshop that claims to be able to pawn souls."

"The third pawnshop?"

Lao Dao's subconscious answer made Delin's eyes shrink, could it be that there is a third pawnshop in this world?

"You come with me."

Seeing Lin Ye's expression change, Lao Dao seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and walked towards the Sanqing Palace.
