Chapter 57: Mother's Wish
As soon as Lan Xinrui stepped into the door, she saw her mother sitting on a bamboo chair with a dead face, and she knew that her mother must be worried about what happened today.
"Mom, I haven't slept yet!" Lan Xinrui said softly.
The Blue Mother glanced at him and didn't squeak.
Lan Xinrui was squatting down in front of her mother, her hands resting on her mother's laps, and her eyes looked at her mother with pity: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" It's weird and scary! ”
"I want to scare you to death, so that others don't have to stab you with a knife." Lan Mu said coldly.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense! Whoever stabbed me, nothing, isn't it nice for me? Lan Xinrui got up and patted her body up and down, left and right.
Lan Mubai glanced at her: "It's pretty good, I almost sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person!" ”
"Mom, don't scare yourself, it's not as serious as you think."
"Are you deaf as a mother? Let me tell you, in addition to the legs and feet, Mom's facial features are good! ”
"I know that my mother has a strong body, sees thousands of miles, and listens to all directions. But you can't just listen to other people's nonsense, you have to listen to me explain things to you. ”
"I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense!"
"Mom, what others say to you are some words that scare you, 'mountains and rivers are suspicious and there is no way', I will give you a whole paragraph of 'Willows and Flowers and Bright Another Village', and you will listen to the thick clouds and suddenly open up."
"Don't treat others as shoes, wear yourself as a hat, I don't believe that Liangdong will lie to me."
At this time, Li Liangdong kicked a pair of clogs and rubbed his eyes listlessly and came out of the bedroom, just in time to hear what his mother said. He let out an "oops" and walked back in a panic. Lan Xinrui stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "What are you talking nonsense to your mother?" ”
Li Liangdong spread his hands and smiled disappreciatively: "I told my mother everything I heard, what's the matter, do you want me to make up nonsense to Meng Mom?" ”
"You are confused, you believe everything others say!"
"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. Let me tell you, not long after the incident, a villager called me and said that someone was trying to harm you, and when I heard it, the whole person trembled, and then he didn't move, and he almost became a zombie. By the time I arrived with a group of workers, the people had already dispersed, and I heard that those gangsters had been taken away by you, and I estimated that once those people fell into your hands, there was only one outcome, that is, to raise your hands and surrender obediently. So I was relieved to go straight home and tell my mother about the matter. ”
"Why don't you say something happy to your mother?"
"Pull it down, I'm scared to death, and I'm happy. Besides, I just want my mother to teach you a lesson, so that you don't have to worry about me all day long. ”
"If my mother is scared of any illness, see how you explain it to me and Dong'er."
"It's okay, you tell your mother the words you planned in your heart, 'another village', as soon as your mother is happy, there will be nothing left."
"You're poor, you." Lan Xinrui glared at him, "Go to sleep, don't make a mess here." ”
Li Liangdong tiptoed back to the bedroom, turned around and secretly made a flying kiss to Lan Xinrui. Lan Xinrui glanced at him, turned around and picked up a small wooden stool, and sat down against her mother.
"Mom, can you listen to me?"
"The mouth is on your face, and I didn't put a seal on you, if you like to say it or not, it's your own business, how can you get me. Say, I'll listen! ”
Ay! Lan Xinrui answered sweetly, grabbed her mother's hand, stroked it gently, and opened the conversation. From beginning to end, like telling a story, she truthfully told the cause and effect of the incident. When Lan Mu first heard this, her face was tense, and her breathing was tight for a while, but after hearing it, her tense face gradually relaxed, revealing a trace of laugh lines. When Lan Xinrui said, "I don't know if I should accept these gangsters?" Lan Mu stood up with a snort, then sat down again, and said super excitedly: "Accept it, why don't you accept it." ”
Lan Xinrui was not surprised, with her understanding of her mother, she knew that her mother's thoughts would definitely coincide with her, but she still deliberately asked: "Accept it, aren't you afraid that they will do anything unfavorable to me again?" ”
"Don't worry, these people are born righteous and angry, and once they obey you, they will serve you with all their hearts. But if you keep them out, it will arouse their resentment and hatred towards you, and even become your sworn enemy. ”
"Then I'll listen to my mother, do what my mother says, accept them tomorrow, and invite them into Peach Blossom to arrange work."
"Don't coax your mother, you're a fool to be a mother, what do you think in your heart, do you think your mother doesn't know?"
Lan Xinrui smiled lightly: "Knowing a daughter is like a mother." ”
"Go to sleep, it's not early." Lan Mu glanced at Lan Xinrui, stood up slowly, stretched her waist, and walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, before Lan Xinrui got up, Secretary Huang called him and told her that Secretary Miao would come to Peach Blossom as soon as she got to work in the morning. Putting down the phone, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and turned around and got up from the bed.
Li Liangdong muttered: "Look at you, a phone call will make you anxious like this." ”
"Can you not be in a hurry? Secretary Miao is coming today, I guess it's because of yesterday's incident, I have to prepare to see how to report to him. ”
"Don't worry, Secretary Miao is definitely not here to ask the teacher."
"Don't ask me for my sin, but apologize to me!"
"You're not confused, what crime have you committed?"
"Don't you speak of sin?"
"When I say sin, can you also say sin? Who are you? You are the leader, how can you be as muddy as me. In the future, be careful not to put the hat of sin on your own head. Do you know what sin is? Let me teach you a lesson today: A crime must meet three conditions at the same time, one is that it is extremely harmful to society, the second is that it must violate the criminal law, and the third is that it must be punished by criminal punishment. Do you have it? No, if you don't, it's not a sin, you know? ”
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I only learn a poor word with my mouth." Lan Xinrui took out fifty yuan from her body and put it on the small square table at the head of the bed, "Take my mother and Dong'er outside in the morning to change the taste, don't get up every day with either porridge or noodles, it's not greasy!" ”
Li Liangdong got up and saluted: "Yes, thank you Mr. Lan for your concern." ”
Lan Xinrui glared at him, covered her mouth, couldn't help laughing, turned around and walked out of the bedroom. As soon as he left the bedroom door, he bumped into his mother standing in a daze.
"Mom, why are you up so early?" Lan Xinrui knew that her mother had something in her heart, and she would not be able to get out for a while.
"Mom's heart is always unsteady, I thought about it for a night, and the more I thought about it, the cooler it became, and I shivered all over."
"Mom, what do you think, aren't you self-destructive?" Lan Xinrui held her mother with one hand and pulled a bamboo chair with the other, "Mom, you sit, you're all at this age, what else can't you think about?" ”
"If you can open it, you can open it, and if you can't think about it, you can't think of a way."
"Mom, I know, it must be about me, only you care so much about me."
"You're very smart, you know what's in your mother's mind when you're a child. When I think about it, I don't understand why smart people are always mixed up with some right and wrong. Your dad is a smart man, he was destroyed by the rebels when he was wenge, and people don't look like people and ghosts, and in the end he couldn't hold it anymore, so he left us and my mother alone. You are quite like your father, and you are also very smart, but since you became the general manager, village party secretary, and village director, you have been aggrieved, and I have not been less frightened. First of all, the house incident, the old branch secretary gave you a chicken to make an example, and then in Xiantaoyuan, you were brutally poisoned by the black boss and almost died, and then a few gangsters in the court with murder weapons to hurt you, and then, I really don't dare to think that there will be any catastrophe that will befall you. I'm worried about you all day long, and I'm afraid that one day you, like your father, will leave me, a lonely old woman, and leave by yourself. ”
"Mom, don't think about it so much, I'm not a child, I can protect myself."
"No, I'll have to plan for your safety." Lan Mu raised her head and looked at Lan Xinrui with a dull gaze, "I heard you just now, Secretary Miao is coming today?" ”
"Yes! No, I'm rushing to the company to prepare! ”
"You bring me too, I want to meet Secretary Miao."
"Mom, what are you doing! The secretary of the county party committee is the biggest official in our Tucheng, and he can't be seen if he wants to. ”
"Don't scare me, I've opened my eyes to the head of the Central Committee, let alone a county party secretary!"
"Mom, I know, you see Secretary Miao for my business, I don't agree."
"I won't trouble you, I just want to tell Secretary Miao about my wishes."
"Then you have to tell me your wish first, and I have to review it."
"Just say it, it's not a shame anyway." Lan Mu hesitated for a moment, took out an envelope from her pocket with trembling hands, and stuffed it into Lan Xinrui's hand, "I'm too lazy to tell you, you can see for yourself!" ”
Lan Xinrui took out a well-folded letter paper from the unsealed envelope, began to read it carefully, and asked, "Mom, you... Regarding the first wish not to hold the troublemakers accountable and arrange for them to work in Peach Blossom, haven't I already promised you? ”
"Your promise doesn't work, Secretary Miao has to agree. Otherwise, Secretary Miao gave a phone call to the Public Security Bureau, and if they didn't arrest them anyway, they wouldn't point the finger at you, and you would still not be safe. ”
"It's... The second wish is to ask Secretary Miao to effectively protect my personal safety, isn't this nonsense? Mom, what do you think when you do this? ”
"I can't care so much, in Tucheng, only Secretary Miao can really protect you. You are now a great celebrity and a great hero in Tucheng, and it is also the duty of the party and the government to protect your safety. ”
"Mom."
"Don't say it, Mom has made up her mind anyway."
"Mom, I will never agree with you doing this."
"If you don't agree, you have to agree, you don't have to discuss."
Lan Xinrui knew that she couldn't resist her mother, so she stopped squeaking. She glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was already a quarter past seven. She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Mom, don't be impulsive, I hope you calm down, think about it again, I'll go to work." ”
"Go ahead, no one will stop you." Lan Mu said coldly.
