"Comrade Lin."
Xu Nannan came out after seeing Lin Qingbai talking a few words with him, and waved with a smile.
Lin Qingbai took off the hat on his head, revealing a refreshing cropped cut. With a gentle smile on his face, "It's Comrade Nannan. You're back from a business trip."
"I came back yesterday." Xu Nannan smiled, looked to the side, "Comrade Lin, do you have time, I want to treat you to dinner later. Last time you helped me so much, I didn't even treat you to dinner Thank you."
There is no friendship that cannot be established over dinner. If one meal doesn't work, make two.
Lin Qingbai was not polite, "Okay, I will show you a place."
This time with Xu Nannan, Lin Qingbai did not ride a bicycle. Just push away.
Xu Nannan looked at the Phoenix brand bicycle with a little jealousy. It's not that I'm envious of this Phoenix brand car, but I'm thinking how nice it would be to have a bicycle, so I don't have to walk to and from get off work. I was able to sleep an extra five minutes every morning.
She has so many bicycles in Taobao, she really wants one.
Lin Qingbai watched her staring at the bicycle, thinking that she wanted to take a car, "Do you want to take a car? How about I take you."
Xu Nannan shook his head.
She would rather ride a bicycle than be led. The seat in the back is too hard, and her butt hurts when she sits on it.
Lin Qingbai smiled, this little girl is quite well-behaved and sensible, not the kind of casual little girl who can't move her feet when she sees anything, that's very good, so as not to be deceived.
The place Lin Qingbai chose to eat was a state-owned restaurant near the county party committee. The restaurant is not too big, and it can accommodate a few round tables. The master chef was cooking in the window, and a chubby young waiter in an apron was there to collect food stamps.
Because it is close to the Public Security Bureau, as soon as I entered, I saw two comrades from the Public Security Bureau in uniform.
Seeing Lin Qingbai bringing the little girl over, he took a look and was embarrassed to say hello.
Because of what Lin Qingbai told her before, she is not only a little guilty about Sun Gongan, but also a little guilty when she sees other police comrades.
When the two sat down, Xu Nannan deliberately found a direction with his back facing the police.
Lin Qingbai noticed her little action, smiled, and whispered, "Don't worry, they don't think they are responsible for that."
Xu Nannan nodded.
Seeing Lin Qingbai coming, the chubby waiter ran over with bright eyes, "Minister Lin, you haven't come for several days." He looked at Xu Nannan with a smile on his face. "This comrade is unfamiliar, and he has never seen it before."
Lin Qingbai looked at Xu Nannan and said, "This is my sister, who invited me to dinner today." He didn't feel that being treated to dinner was a shameful thing at all.
The waiter greeted Xu Nannan with a smile, "Hi, girl. Come over for dinner when I have time." Then he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Come here on Monday and Wednesday. We have big white noodles."
Xu Nannan nodded with surprise.
It's fine for Dabai to face her, but for other people, it's a rare fine grain. In Nanjiang County, even if there are food stamps, they may not be able to eat it. So when people told her this information, they regarded her as one of their own. She has to make people think she is happy.
Lin Qingbai refused to order a spicy cabbage, a piece of vermicelli meat slices, and five taels of rice.
Xu Nannan also knew that the more you ordered these days, the better, but it would make people feel that it was too wasteful, so he didn't order any more, and proudly gave the food stamps.
Holding the food stamp, the waiter said coyly, "Minister Lin, why hasn't your brother come over for dinner for a few days?"
As soon as Xu Nannan saw her rippling eyes, she knew what it meant.
It turns out that Comrade Lin has a younger brother, and it seems that people have taken a fancy to his younger brother.
I don't know what his younger brother is like, why people didn't like Comrade Lin, but his younger brother instead.
Lin Qingbai said with a smile, "He has gone to work recently, he may be a little busy, and he has been thinking about your food for the past two days, and he should come over tomorrow."
The waiter blushed and left.
Xu Nannan waited for her to leave before asking, "Comrade Lin, why did she call you Minister Lin?"
When she was in the Armed Forces Department, she felt that Lin Qingbai should be a cadre, after all, his uniform seemed to be different from those of the soldiers just now.
Lin Qingbai said lightly, "I am in charge of the Armed Forces Department, it's just a job title."
"Are you the Minister of Armed Forces?" Xu Nannan was dumbfounded. This officer should be very big, at least it is equivalent to the position of the chief of the police station. Oh my god, she actually became friends with a cadre of this level, people wouldn't think she wanted to hug her thigh.
Xu Nannan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the twitch on Xu Nannan's face, Lin Qingbai frowned and said, "Comrade Nannan, we are not in the past now. Everyone is equal in this society. Is there a difference whether I am a cadre or a soldier? The responsibilities are the same, and they are all for It exists to protect the common people. Your ideological consciousness has improved."
After Lin Qingbai preached with righteous words, Xu Nannan was also a little hypocritical, feeling that his thoughts were too bad and too bureaucratic. Regardless of whether they are cadres or soldiers, aren't they all their own benefactors? Look at her awareness, her level of thinking is still too low. She said with an apologetic face, "Comrade Lin, I was thinking about it."
Only then did Lin Qingbai smile with satisfaction, "It's better to get along as before."
Xu Nannan couldn't wish for anything more, she didn't want to be like hugging her thigh and living her life by watching other people's faces.
Although she also wanted to associate with Lin Qingbai before, it was on the basis of equality, being friends or something.
Just like the friends she met in her previous life, the contacts she made were all of the same level, so it was natural to get along, and there was no need to curry favor with each other. Although she didn't do well, she felt at ease anyway. Don't people just want to live comfortably
Soon, the food will be served.
There was also a small plate of sour radishes, Xun Nannan found that there were none on the other table, only they had it, obviously it was a gift from others.
Xu Nannan smiled gratefully at the waiter. The waiter responded with a shy smile.
Seeing the two flirtatiously, Lin Qingbai almost lost his grip on the chopsticks. It was funny to think about it, it seems that as long as this little girl wants to get along well with someone, it is still very easy. Don't speak, just a look.
While they were eating, two more police officers came in, Wu Gongan and Sun Gongan.
Xu Nannan didn't see the two of them coming in, but only heard Sun Gong'an's ordering. Suddenly, my back felt a little numb. Now thinking about that Sun Gongan, she felt uncomfortable. I don't know why.
Lin Qingbai pursed his lips and smiled, and put the dishes in front of her, "Eat more."
Xu Nannan quickly picked up the vegetables. Then he buried his head in his meal, and didn't even dare to talk to Lin Qingbai, for fear of being overheard by Sun Gongan.
Over there, Wu Gongan and Sun Gongan also sat down. Wu Gongan also saw Lin Qingbai eating there and saw a little girl there, so he didn't have the nerve to bother him.
Wu GongGuan took a sneak peek, only seeing Xu Nannan's back, "That girl can't be Minister Lin's target, she hasn't been here for long."
Sun Gong'an was a little unhappy and lacked energy. Hearing this, he didn't care. He didn't even have a date for his own partner, so he didn't care about others.
He has been going to the mine these days, but the girl is on a business trip. I went there again today, and heard that Uncle Wei said he was back, but he left early.
Sun Gongan regretted that he hadn't told them earlier that it was difficult to meet him now.
If I had said it earlier, it might be an object relationship now.
Wu Gongan knew what he was thinking. This kid goes to the mine every day, and he keeps mentioning that it is located in Nannan. Everyone in the Public Security Bureau knows what he's thinking.
He persuaded in a low voice, "Why are you panicking? Is there a shortage of lesbians in this unit? As for Xiao Zhou in the file room, don't people come to see you often? I think it's pretty good."
The key is a unit. After marriage, it is easy to divide the marriage room. Wu Gongan felt that it was necessary for him to point out this young man.
Sun Gong'an frowned and said, "I have nothing to do with her." The little girl was even bigger than him...
"Then there are other comrades, you should also take a look, there are some nearby, there is no need to find someone far away."
"You don't understand." Sun Gongan felt that Wu Gongan couldn't understand his mood. Comrade Yu Nannan is so cute, he has two dimples when he smiles, and his eyes seem to be talking.
At this time, Comrade Nan Nan, who can speak with eyes, is eating a big mouthful, preparing to leave the place of right and wrong early.
Lin Qingbai saw her thoughts, ate with a smile on his face, and didn't talk to her.
Soon the food on the table was dry and clean. Xu Nannan rubbed her stomach, and it seemed that she had eaten most of it. This treat is really a bit unreasonable. She smiled embarrassingly.
Lin Qingbai said, "Are you full?"
Xu Nannan nodded. After eating so much, he was overwhelmed.
"Then let's go." Lin Qingbai stood up.
Xu Nannan quickly stood up with his bag on his back. She deliberately walked behind Lin Qingbai, just to let Lin Qingbai cover it.
Lin Qingbai also followed, but the hotel lobby is really not that big. Seeing that Lin Qingbai was about to leave, Public Security Wu waved and said hello, "Minister Lin is ready to eat."
Sun Gongan also raised his head and was about to say hello to Lin Qingbai, when he saw the half figure beside him, he was stunned.
Lin Qingbai narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, and said with a smile, "I'm about to leave."
Feeling the corner of his clothes being pulled, Lin Qingbai coughed, "Let's go first."
When the two of them left, Sun Gong'an didn't react in a daze.
Was that Comrade Yu Nannan just now? Why did she have dinner with Minister Lin
When he got outside, Lin Qingbai smiled and looked at the hem of his clothes being pulled by someone.
Xu Nannan didn't notice his gaze, so he let go of his clothes naturally, and said in a low voice, "He waits for me every day, I deliberately left early today. I didn't expect to see him again." It was somewhat embarrassing.
Lin Qingbai felt that he seemed to have overdone it, and it was not the case that made the little girl so scared. I can't see the police anymore, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
It's not good to be so timid. You still have to be ruthless like when you first saw her, so as not to be bullied.
He said, "Actually, even if I saw it, it's nothing. The case is almost resolved now. I'll tell them later to stop pestering you. This matter should be fine. Not all police officers are like that. You don't have to worry about it in the future."
"Can you go, will you offend anyone?" Xu Nannan worried. The so-called do not seek his own government when he is not in his position. She still understands this truth. Will the Ministry of Armed Forces intervene in the Public Security Bureau, will it make people think that he is taking bribes or something? Isn't that what's written in the novel
Lin Qingbai smiled, "How come, I live on the first floor with their Director Gao, and we have a good relationship."
Xu Nannan knew that this was the so-called going through the relationship and going through the back door.
It doesn't matter what door, it's best to solve this matter. She really doesn't want to have someone around every day when she gets off work, it feels too bad. And even Uncle Wei felt that she and this Publican Sun had been dating for a long time, so it was inevitable that others would think otherwise. Regardless of whether it is now or in the future, this kind of misunderstanding will not affect well.
She asked Ai Ai expectantly, "Then, Comrade Lin, I'm going to trouble you about this again." I just invited a meal, and I'm in debt again.
Suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she took out a box from her bag. Pass it to Lin Qingbai.
"I bought it when I was on a business trip to Shanghai. I heard that it is easy to use."
Lin Qingbai took it, opened it, and found a black pen inside, "It's very nice, thank you."
"No thanks, no thanks, as long as you like it, you helped me so much before." Xu Nannan waved his hands repeatedly.
Lin Qingbai smiled and rolled his eyes, "I like it very much." He looked at the sky again, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."
Then he got on the bicycle and looked sideways at Xu Nannan, "Get in the car, I'll take you." This little girl just wanted to ride in the car. At least let her get her wish once.
Xu Nannan looked at the hard back seat of the car, touched his thin overalls, gritted his teeth, and decided not to waste his kindness. Pushing up numbly, he sat on it.
"Sit down," Lin Qingbai kicked his foot, and the car moved quickly.
Xu Nannan was taken aback, and grabbed Lin Qingbai's clothes fiercely, thinking that it's not a motorcycle, and the speed is beyond heaven.
Fortunately, the speed slowed down quickly.
At this time, the roads in the county town were not concrete roads, not even asphalt roads, but bluestone roads. These bluestone roads have been around for a long time, and many places have been potholed. The advantage of this kind of road is that it is not as muddy as a mud road in rainy days, but it is also uneven all day long, and the car is very bumpy on it.
After bumping all the way to the vicinity of Xu Nannan's house, Lin Qingbai stopped the car.
When Xu Nannan got out of the car, he felt that he was about to fall apart. Pain in buttocks. He said with a smile on his face, "Comrade Lin, thank you for sending me back. It's getting late, so you should hurry back and rest."
"It's okay, you go back first." Lin Qingbai pursed his lips and smiled.
Xu Nannan then walked home with his bag on his back, took a few steps and looked back, seeing that Li Qingbai hadn't left yet, he waved again.
Lin Qingbai kept watching her walk forward until she entered the house. Thinking about the way she just walked, she looked back at the back seat of her car.
Xu Nannan entered the room, and Grandma Yu came out of the room when she heard the noise.
Knowing that Xu Nannan was going to have dinner with his colleagues today and not at home, so he had dinner early at home, and now he had already eaten and was going to rest.
"I'm back, are you full tonight? There are still millet pancakes in the pot." Grandma Yu said.
When Xu Nannan saw the old man coming out with his clothes on, his nose felt a little sore, "Grandma, you should go to bed early, I can take care of myself. I'm an adult now."
"What about adults, you're not even eighteen years old, so you're not too old." Grandma Yu disagreed. I feel that if Nannan lives in a good family and has parents who love her, she might still be in school now. With her grades, even a university is not sure. After coming out, they will be state cadres. There is no need to go to work in the mine so early and travel around all day.
"I know, I'm eighty years old, and grandma still thinks I'm still young." Xu Nannan argued with a smile, and didn't rush into the house, so she went to the kitchen to fetch hot water to soak her feet in the yard.
Grandma Yu didn't enter the room either, she sat on the low stool next to her and asked, "I'm having dinner with my colleagues today, are you gay or lesbian?"
"... Lesbians." Comrade Lin, I'm sorry.
When Grandma Yu heard this, she felt a little disappointed, "Oh, don't just hang out with lesbians. Now the society is the same as before, don't pay attention to those things. Talk to gay men more."
Xu Nannan couldn't hear what she was thinking. Just like those mothers who liked to worry about their daughters not getting married, the old lady was worried about her eldest granddaughter not getting married.
The question is, is it too early to start worrying at seventeen
Well, the age of marriage at the age of eighteen, and the date of marriage at the age of seventeen... It seems that it is not too early.
On the other side, Lin Qingbai went back to the county party committee compound, put the car in the yard, and went to the Public Security Bureau. Sun Gong'an is still on duty.
This young man is an activist and takes the initiative to be on duty until ten o'clock in the evening every day.
At this time, he was lying on the desk, out of his mind.
Lin Qingbai came in and knocked on his desk, only then did Sun Gongan react.
Seeing Lin Qingbai, his face turned red immediately. Just now he was thinking about whether to ask Minister Lin, maybe it wasn't the object, maybe it was someone he knew. It's not like in the past now, it's okay for a man and a woman to have a meal. And he also asked Xiaotian in the restaurant, and Xiaotian said that when Minister Lin introduced her, he said it was his sister.
He pondered many things in his mind, but when he saw Lin Qingbai, he didn't dare to ask a word. He stood up and stammered, "Minister Lin, you are here."
Lin Qingbai sat down opposite him, "It's fine at night, I went out for a walk, saw you sitting here, and came in to talk."
Sun Gongan hurriedly said, "I'll go pour water for Minister Lin."
"No, I'll just sit down and leave after saying something." Lin Qingbai smiled gently. Sun Gongan had no choice but to sit down dryly.
"Little Sun, I heard from Lao Gao that you are related to County Magistrate Sun?"
"County Magistrate Sun is my cousin," Sun Gongan said. At the beginning, his father and county magistrate Sun came out of their hometown together, but later his father disappeared. County magistrate sun has been taking care of their family all these years. The county party committee knew about it, so it wasn't impossible to say it.
Lin Qingbai sighed, "I've also heard about you. It was not easy for your mother to raise you and your sister, and it is very admirable. You are also very active now, and you will definitely be a good seed in the future."
Sun Gongan listened and sighed too. These years, it's been too fucking difficult.
Lin Qingbai asked, "I heard that you wanted to study at the beginning, and your mother didn't want you to leave Nanjiang, so she didn't agree?"
"It's not easy for my mother..." In fact, it was his cousin who wanted him to study at the beginning, thinking that he would be promising. But his mother thinks it's a waste of time, it's better to come out earlier, anyway, the family has something to do with it.
Lin Qingbai nodded, "It's not easy." He asked casually, "I heard that you didn't want to be a police officer at the beginning, but wanted to join the army. Later, your mother refused, so you stayed to be a police officer?"
"I have only one son in our family, and my mother is a bit reluctant." Sun Gongan said. At the beginning, because of this matter, he was really uncomfortable. But that was a fucking decision, and he had to go with it.
"It doesn't matter whether you're a soldier or a police officer, it's actually the same." Lin Qingbai smiled, and tapped his fingers on the table, "As long as you find the path you want to take, you will become a People, the most fearful thing is that you don’t have your own ideas. You are very good and active now. If you know how to make progress, you will be a good seed in the future.”
Sun Gongan was a little embarrassed, "This is what I should do."
Seeing him like this, Lin Qingbai shook his head slightly, "Now is the time for you to be positive, so don't be distracted by other things. I heard that you often go to the mine recently, which has a bad influence. In the future, don't went."
Sun Gongan was taken aback, "I, I am going to protect..."
Lin Qingbai frowned, and said with a serious face, "You County Armed Forces Department, Nanjiang County can't be chaotic. Dong Wu before, usually has a bad style, and what happened to him is just an example. Besides, so many lesbians, you Is it reasonable to protect Comrade Yu Nannan alone?"
Sun Gongan lowered his head. "I know, I won't go to the mine in the future."
After the matter was finished, Lin Qingbai stood up and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
Sun Gong'an also stood up, but his face was disheveled.
Lin Qingbai pretended not to see it, and prepared to leave with his hands behind his back. "Minister Lin." Sun Gongan suddenly called out.
Lin Qingbai looked back at him.
Sun Gong'an blushed and summoned up his courage to ask, "Minister Lin, are you and Comrade Yu Nannan dating?"
"Gays and lesbians can have other relationships besides dating. I think Comrade Yu Nannan is quite innocent, like a little sister, don't you think? After all, she is only a teenager. My child, there is no need to always think in other ways. Xiao Sun, you should be more simple in your thinking. "
After leaving the door of the Public Security Bureau, there were soft cries from behind.
Lin Qingbai shook his head with his hands behind his back.
This gay man is really not suitable for that little girl. No assertiveness, no EQ, and no high IQ. Looking at it now, I can't bear it in my heart.
Not suitable, really not suitable.
That girl is only in her teens, she's early, so there's no need to rush to find a partner, just pick slowly.
Back in the dormitory of the county party committee, Lin Qingbai was in a good mood. Seeing the mess at home, he didn't lose his temper and cleaned it up quietly.
Lin Qingsong was combing his hair again, and when he saw Lin Qingbai packing up his things, he trembled all over, worried that his brother would lose his temper. As a result, his brother didn't say a word.
The house is not big, so it was cleaned up quickly.
Seeing Lin Qingbai turning on the lamp to ask Uncle Kang, Lin Qingsong whispered, "Brother, how are you doing in the Armed Forces?"
Lin Qingbai stared at the book, "Very good."
"Oh, no wonder Liu Hongjun mentioned our family's affairs. This is to provoke us and let me cause trouble for you. I don't know where this grandson heard about our family's affairs."
Only then did Lin Qingbai look at him, "What can we say about our family?"
"No, it's not that we were born by the same mother... Cough cough, say we are not of the same mind."
Lin Qingbai smiled and continued to read.
"Brother, I don't believe it. I just think you should be careful about his father. They even went to inquire about our family's affairs, which shows that they really care about it. I'm worried that they will harm you. But that kid is really stupid , I thought I could provoke us with this matter, but I didn’t know it and reminded us. Don’t you think so? The son is so stupid, and his father guesses that he is not very smart.”
"He reminded me of this matter. You should go back early. Auntie called and wanted you to go back early. Otherwise, she will come to you. "
"Why are you looking for me? I haven't seen much concern for me before." Lin Qingsong said unwillingly.
The old man used to stare at him, but her mother never cared. It's pretty fast now.
"I'm not going back. I have to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow. I also have a serious job." After finishing speaking, he went straight to sleep on the single bed in the outer room.
Lin Qingbai glanced at him and continued to read.
In another room of the county party committee, Liu Jianjun was teaching his son a lesson.
He took the feather duster and whipped it several times. The beaten Liu Hongjun screamed.
Mother Liu stopped her distressedly, "You are going to kill him."
"It's good to kill him, anyway, I still have two sons." Liu Jianjun said angrily. The eldest son did not do good things all day long, let him go to school, played truant all day long, and now he even hangs out with Lin Qingbai's younger brother.
Being an elder brother has a lot of heart, can it be easy to be a younger brother, his son's bones are all gone.
No, I showed off to him when I came back at night, saying that I provoked the relationship between my brothers. At that time, let his younger brother help him deal with his elder brother. Lin Qingbai will leave Nanjiang County in a short time.
This idiot is so mad at me.
Liu Jianjun wished he could kick it up. I wanted to yell a few words loudly, but I couldn't speak loudly. I was worried that people would hear me, so I could only lower my voice and said, "I just asked someone to inquire about the affairs of his family. If you go out and talk nonsense, I won't be in the mood then." , People think I have something on my mind. You still think your life is not uncomfortable enough, right? "
Liu's mother also scolded her son in a low voice, "Minister Lin is a very nice person. When the house was divided, the two young ones were also given to our family, and he lived in a small apartment. Don't think about harming others in the future. "
"Isn't this all for my family?" Liu Hongjun felt extremely uncomfortable. He was so devoted to his family that he still blamed him so much. It's not as good as Lin Qingsong treats him well. He eats and drinks all day long, and never says anything bad about him. If it wasn't for his father to become a regular worker sooner, he wouldn't have to plot against Lin Qingsong against his conscience.
For this matter, he didn't even have time to talk to Xu Hong's girl recently.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to skip class in the future, or I will break your leg!" Liu Jianjun angrily said.
The next day, Xu Hong was delighted to find out that Liu Hongjun had come to school.
