Although Lin Zongming always had this kind of question in his heart, he patiently did not ask.

His life creed is, ask what should be asked, and don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

People say that there is a reason for what they say; If you don't say it, there is a reason why you don't say it.

Maybe it's not time to say it.

"Ouch!" Zhao Yingjie raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and exclaimed: "Patronizing and talking, your mother and your aunt are in a hurry." Zong Ming, let's go back, the food has been heated once, and it won't taste good if it's hot. ”

Zhao Yingjie's home lives on the 16th floor, which is a duplex house.

Upstairs and downstairs combined, it is 200 square meters.

Since he has no children, only his wife Lan Xinai and nanny Aunt Chen live in the family.

Coming in behind Zhao Yingjie, Lin Zongming saw his mother Zhao Yali standing at the door with a smile and waiting for him.

"Mom." Lin Zongming looked at his mother and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Mom, you are white and fat." ”

"There's nothing that isn't fat." Zhao Yali pulled Lin Zongming to look up and down for a long time, touched her son's hand and said, "You are dark and thin, you must be alone at home, you can't eat or sleep well, and you run outside all day long." ”

"Sister, Zong Ming is now the director of the Economic Development Office, this department is responsible for the township economy and enterprise services and foreign investment promotion, not sitting in the office, it is normal to run outside, and it is normal to get a tan, only he is not normal to lose weight."

Zhao Yingjie said jokingly, pointed to the bedroom on the first floor, and whispered: "I'll go to see Xinai, she has been looking forward to seeing Zong Ming for a long time." ”

Zhao Yali nodded, and at the same time pulled her son to the living room, sat on the sofa and asked this and that.

What do you eat every day at home, do you sleep well, are you busy with work at work, and you also specially mentioned He Ye's name and asked them how their relationship is?

"Mom, you've asked so many questions at once, I don't know which one to answer you." Lin Zongming was concise and summed up: "Everything is fine." ”

Zhao Yali couldn't help but be overjoyed, "So, you and He Ye are developing smoothly?" ”

"Mom, how many times have I told you, we can't be. He Ye is high-spirited and looks down on me. ”

"Alas!" Zhao Yali sighed: "It's not because our family is poor, and the door is not right. It's just that He Ye's mother just likes it, and I can't say why, anyway, I think she's my daughter-in-law. ”

"Mom, don't talk about her, talk about your ......"

Lin Zongming's words came to this, and he heard the door of the inner bedroom open, and Zhao Yingjie pushed a wheelchair out, and a middle-aged woman in her forties sat on it.

looked amiable, looked at Lin Zongming curiously, and asked with a smile: "Yingjie, this is Zongming, right?" ”

Zhao Yali hurriedly pulled her son to stand up, "Xiao Ming, call your aunt quickly." ”

Lin Zongming took two steps closely, stood in front of Lan Xinai in a proper manner, and bowed deeply, "Hello aunt." ”

"You're okay too." Lan Xinai was in a happy mood and said to Zhao Yali: "Eldest sister, Zong Ming looks like a talent, and he really looks like you." ”

"That is, my nephew Zhao Yingjie is not bad at all, he must have height, he must have good looks, and he must have a career, and he is definitely the prince charming that girls dream of."

"Look at you, there's no boundale to talk about." Lan Xinai glanced at her husband, "Zong Ming is good, but according to what you said, I still think he is distracted." ”

After a few happy words from the parents, the nanny Aunt Chen, a woman in her fifties, came out to greet everyone with an apron, saying that the meal was ready and everyone was invited to the table.

At this moment, it is more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and other people's homes have already turned off the lights to sleep, only Zhao Yingjie's house is brightly lit.

The meals were not much, but they were plentiful.

It looks colorful and very appetizing.

Lin Zongming ate something on the plane, and his stomach had already begun to sing empty city plans at this time.

"Drink some liquor." Zhao Yingjie took out a bottle of Moutai.

Lin Zongming grabbed it, opened it and filled Zhao Yingjie's cup first, Lan Xinai couldn't drink alcohol, only drank mineral water.

"Mom, would you like to come some?"

"Okay, Mom made an exception to drink some with the two of you, half a cup."

Seeing that everyone had cups in their hands, Zhao Yingjie raised his glass and said: "It's rare for our family to get together, and welcome my sister and Zong Ming to come to the house as guests." I also hope that you will come often, I am not at home much, just accompany Xinai to talk, save her loneliness. ”

Lan Xinai also said: "What Yingjie said is that the eldest sister and Zong Ming have food and accommodation at home, and it is very close to the city center, and many tourist attractions are concentrated nearby, so it is convenient to play." ”

"Thank you Yingjie and Xinai for your hospitality." Zhao Yali said with heartfelt emotion: "During the days when I came to the capital, Xinai ignored the hard work, accompanied me to this and there, and the attractions were about to be played." ”

"Eldest sister, where is this?" Lan Xinai added: "There are so many tourist attractions in the capital, and you only play less than a third. I really don't want you to play it all, I'm afraid you've been there before, and you won't be here next time. ”

"Aunt, travel is just a name, visit you and uncle, relatives to enhance the relationship, we will often come to disturb in the future. You and your uncle are also welcome to return to Wanlin Township at a convenient time to enjoy the natural landscape of the north. ”

Lin Zongming held the cup with both hands, clinked glasses with his uncle and aunt respectively, and drank it all.

During this meal, everyone talked and laughed and the atmosphere was very good, which made the unpleasantness that Lin Zongming encountered at Lu Mengzhun dissipate.

After eating, Lin Zongming was taken upstairs to the guest room by Aunt Chen to rest.

After taking a hot bath to get rid of the tiredness of his body, Lin Zongming suddenly felt relaxed, slept steadily, and woke up naturally from sleep.

Zhao Yingjie was called away early in the morning, his work is not fixed, he is on call, and it has become the norm to leave early and return late.

Mother Zhao Yali accompanied him to breakfast, and Lan Xinai was pushed out for a walk by Aunt Chen, only their mother and son.

Lin Zongming had something to say that he could finally ask.

"Mom, there's something I want to tell you, do you remember Bao Ning?"

"Of course I do." Zhao Yali scoffed at the name.

Bao Ning dumped his son at the beginning, made his son discouraged, left the provincial capital and returned to his hometown, worked as a temporary worker for a year, and finally worked hard, survived the career establishment, and also served as the director of the Economic Development Office.

These are thanks to his son's ability and level, as well as the secret help of his younger brother Zhao Yingjie, but Bao Ning played a negative role.

Last night, Lin Zongming was called away by Lu Mengzhun Zhao Yingjie had already revealed it to her, and also talked about some information about the Lu family.

"Xiao Ming, I heard your uncle mention that Bao Ning's biological father is not small, and his grandfather seems to be some kind of big official, living in a courtyard in an alley in the city."

Zhao Yali lowered her voice and further revealed to Lin Zongming, "Do you know your uncle's identity? ”

Lin Zongming nodded, "Uncle told me last night, is he the deputy leader of the inspection team, or is he ......?"

"It's not that, your uncle and your aunt are not ordinary people, they are the descendants of some big official."
