"Why is there a red dot on Qin Lin's head?"

"Is this some kind of mark?"

As the fishing boat got farther and farther away, Zhang Xing also had a huge doubt in his heart.

After returning to the shore, because the fish burst the net, it attracted many fishermen in the village to watch.

Zhang Xing noticed that Lao Qin next door was also among them.

However, unlike many people, most people were happy about Zhang Ming's harvest from the sea, while Lao Qin next door looked a little depressed.

He just symbolically congratulated and then left the beach.

Zhang Ming then drove over, loaded the fish in the car and took it to the market to sell.

Old fishermen like them usually have fixed customers and will not be overcharged in terms of price. They took half an hour to pull to the market and sold all the fish they harvested today.

Zhang Ming counted the money and it was about the same as he estimated, a total of more than 23,800 yuan.

"Son, you've worked hard today. Take this five thousand yuan and buy a better suit. You should buy a better suit after you pass the civil service exam."

Zhang Ming was in a good mood and handed the five thousand yuan to Zhang Xing.

But Zhang Xing didn't want it.

"Dad, I've saved some money from working part-time for a few years. I have money to buy a suit. You can keep this money yourself."

Although Zhang Xing was rebellious for a while, he rarely worried Zhang Ming since he became sensible, especially in terms of money. Zhang Xing has never asked his family for money since he went to college.

Seeing that Zhang Xing didn't want it, Zhang Ming didn't force it, but smiled and said:

"Okay, I will continue to save this money for you to buy a house and marry a wife in the future."

Zhang Ming and Lin Fang only have one son, Zhang Xing. The couple has saved money over the years and has helped Zhang Xing save a lot of money.

Because today is a big harvest, mother Lin Fang cooked a lot of good dishes in the evening and invited friends who have a good relationship in the village to have dinner together.

Zhang Ming had originally invited Lao Qin from next door, but Lao Qin did not come in the evening. I heard that Lao Qin went to the town.

Time passed quickly.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

On Monday, Zhang Xing's family was very nervous because today was the day when the interview results would be announced online.

Zhang Xing opened the public examination website and logged in his personal information.

The results came out soon.

90 points, ranked first in the whole venue.

As soon as this result came out, Zhang Ming and Lin Fang, as parents, were overjoyed.

The house was very lively again in the evening.

Some relatives and friends who lived farther away heard the news that Zhang Xing had ranked first in the interview and rushed to celebrate.

But the next morning, Zhang Xing suddenly received a call.

It was a landline phone.

And if nothing unexpected happened, it should be from the Bonan City Education Department.

Because Zhang Xing applied for a position in the Bonan City Education Department, he had some impression of the landline number of the unit.

Zhang Xing answered the call immediately.

The call lasted for half an hour.

After Zhang Xing hung up the phone, he was confused and frowned.

At lunch, his father Zhang Ming bought a lot of colorful flags and balloons from the streets of the town, and his mother Lin Fang was also on the phone to discuss the banquet with relatives.

Although Zhang Xing felt a little reluctant, he still took the opportunity to tell his parents about the call he received in the morning during lunch.

"What? You said you didn't pass the political review?"

After hearing about the incident, his parents immediately changed their faces.

Zhang Xing sighed helplessly, hesitated for a while, and then asked his father Zhang Ming:

"Dad, do you know that my grandfather was in prison?"

Father Zhang Ming was stunned.

Frowning, he said:

"No, I haven't heard of it."

Zhang Xing saw that his mother Lin Fang seemed to have something to say, but didn't say it, so he hurriedly asked his mother Lin Fang:

"Mom, do you know something?"

Mother Lin Fang hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"When I was young, I seemed to have heard from the villagers that your grandfather was imprisoned when he was young, and was released not long after. Zhang Ming, haven't you heard of this?"

Zhang Ming's face was livid, and he shook his head and said:

"Those are rumors spread by the villagers. How can rumors be believed? My father is just a diligent old fisherman with an honest character. He does his job and has never made a mistake in his life. How could he have been in jail?"

Combined with the conversation between his father Zhang Ming and his mother Lin Fang, although Zhang Xing cannot judge whether his grandfather had been in jail in the past, he has confirmed one thing.

According to the civil service examination process, a physical examination is required after the interview. After passing the physical examination, the candidate will be subject to political review, and Zhang Xing is now onlyI just passed the interview, but now the political review result has come out.

What does this mean? It means that someone must have reported the matter of my grandfather being in prison before.

Who reported it?

Obviously, it must be someone who is familiar with his family situation, and may be someone who has a grudge against Zhang Xing's family, or someone who doesn't like Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing then told his parents about his judgment.

Father Zhang Ming and mother Lin Fang looked at each other, and after careful calculation, they couldn't figure out who their family had a grudge against, not to mention that it was an acquaintance who was familiar with Zhang's family affairs.

"Your mother and I have been kind to others for most of our lives. We have never taken the initiative to quarrel with others, especially with our fellow villagers. We have even rarely quarreled. Moreover, almost everyone in the village congratulated you on your successful civil service exam interview. I really can't understand why anyone would report such a thing."

Zhang Ming was very depressed. He rarely smoked, but at this time he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and started smoking.

Zhang Xing frowned and reminded:

"Didn't a family have a feud with our family? And it was not a small one at the time. Her wife took a knife and hanged herself."

Zhang Ming was startled and his eyes rolled.

"Do you mean that the Qin family next door reported it?"

Zhang Xing sighed:

"I didn't say that it was definitely him who reported it, but I think his family is at least suspected."

Zhang Ming took a deep puff of cigarette, his face was very melancholy.

Mother Lin Fang pondered and said:

"It stands to reason that even if your grandfather really went to jail, it was many years ago. Besides, it was all rumors from the villagers. Those who really saw your grandfather in jail are no longer alive."

"The one who called you was the education department you applied for. Since they called to inform you that you could not pass the political review, it means that they should have at least some solid evidence in their hands. Otherwise, how could they easily draw conclusions based on rumors from the villagers without solid evidence?"

"But where did this solid evidence come from?"

Mother Lin Fang used to be a teacher in a rural primary school. She has a certain level of education and is quick-witted.

Zhang Xing actually thought of this question.

In Zhang Xing's opinion, there are only two possibilities.

One is that the education department he applied for did not do a good job in political review, did not have a rigorous review attitude, and may even have other serious violations. After all, if one place is screened out, one place can be given to others accordingly.

The other possibility is that the whistleblower did have solid evidence of my grandfather's imprisonment. However, even if my grandfather was imprisoned, it was when he was young. My grandfather died at the age of 91. When he was young, the country might not have been founded yet. Can the evidence from that time still be preserved until now?

"Let me go to the village committee first and ask the secretary if he knows anything about the report."

The family discussed it, and father Zhang Ming was ready to go find the village head and secretary.

However, not long after the words fell, a young official from the village committee came and hurriedly ran in to announce:

"Zhang Xing, several reporters from the village committee came and insisted on coming to your house to interview you."
