Rebirth as an official

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Li An chuckled and put his luggage on the cabinet next to the door.

When Na Wenyin saw Li An coming back, she immediately stood up and shouted happily: "Anzi, why are you back? Have you eaten?"

"Mom, this is the hericium mushroom grown by our cooperative for you. I heard that eating it is good for your stomach. Your illness is just right, so you should eat more." Li An took out a large bag from his backpack to dry. Hericium erinaceus.

"You kid, just come back. It's not heavy to carry so many things." Na Wenyin nagged out of habit, but her eyes were filled with joy.

Li An took out another tightly wrapped wine bottle from his backpack and placed it in front of his father.

"Dad, this is Baogu wine brewed in the village. It tastes good. I brought some for you."

"Yeah." Li Lin nodded and focused all his attention on the TV series.

Li Lin also came from the countryside to serve as a soldier, and he was also a scout, so the story in "Soldier Assault" particularly resonated with him. Since the TV station started broadcasting it, he has stayed in front of the TV every night.

"You should be more responsive. My son has come all the way to bring you something, so just say yes." Na Wenyin couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but hit Li Lin.

"You're back when you're back, why don't you ask me, the father, to greet you?" Although Li Lin still had a straight face, his eyes were more gentle.

Li An knew that his father was not good at expressing his feelings. He was probably still angry with himself, so he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Mom, I miss your braised pig's trotters. Have you made them yet?"

"It's been done a long time ago. When I received your call this morning, your dad went to the vegetable market to buy pig trotters. I'll heat them up for you." After Na Wenyin finished speaking, she put the things Li An brought back into the TV cabinet. , and walked to the kitchen.

Li An returned to his room, changed his clothes and walked out.

I didn’t feel hot after walking just now, but now I felt the room was a little cold after resting for a while. I loudly said to my mother who was working in the kitchen: "Mom, our room is still cold. I will pay for it and buy one in two days." Air conditioning."

Li Lin couldn't help but frowned when he heard this and said, "I've been here for so many years. It's a waste of money to buy an air conditioner."

Na Wenyin poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "I have suffered all my life with you, and now that my son has to honor me, I can't enjoy my happiness anymore."

Na Wenyin's words made Li Lin speechless, so he had to go to get the cigarette on the coffee table in silence.

"Dad, smoke this." Li An took out a pack of Nine-Five Zun from his arms.

Li Lin did not quit smoking, but said coldly: "Where did you get the cigarette?"

Li An was stunned for a moment, then realized that his father had misunderstood him, and explained with a wry smile: "Dad, my friend knew I was coming home and asked me to bring it back to honor you."

"Friend, don't think it's great if you become the assistant to the township head, and then you start taking benefits from others." Li Lin frowned.

"Dad, your son, the assistant to the township head, has no real power. How can anyone give your son anything?" Li An had no choice but to tell Xu Kai's story again.

After listening to Li An's explanation, Li Lin's brows relaxed and he said in a deep voice, "Keep this cigarette and pass it out when you report to the leader later."

Hearing his father's words, Li An couldn't help but feel happy. My old man was not as pedantic as he imagined.

"Dad, I brought two back. You can smoke yours." Li An tore open the package and lit one for his father.

For the first time, father and son sat together in such harmony, watching TV and smoking, feeling an indescribable warmth.

Not long after, the mouth-watering aroma of braised pig's trotters wafted out of the kitchen.

Na Wenyin quickly brought a large pot of pig's trotters, a plate of fried vegetables and a bowl of rice to the restaurant, and shouted to Li An: "Anzi, wash your hands and eat."

Li An, who had been grumbling with hunger for a long time, stood up immediately and replied with a smile, "Here you go, Mom."

In the restaurant, Li An wolfed down the pig's trotters and rice, not forgetting to praise a few words. "My mother's cooking skills are amazing, as good as a chef at a state banquet."

Na Wenyin sat opposite her son and said distressedly: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you. Eat some vegetables."

"Hey, why do you look thinner than the last time you came back? Thinking about you being alone in the countryside, my mother feels sad." Looking at the son she had raised with so much hard work for more than [-] years, and now he has become dark and thin, tears flowed down his face. Just spinning in my eyes.

"Mom, I'm in the countryside. I can go to the woods to catch game every day." Li An put the finished pig's trotter on the table and said with a smile.

"Your mother and I also went to the countryside to be an educated youth. How can I not know how hard it is in the countryside." Wen Yin obviously didn't believe Li An's words, and said to Li Lin: "I said Lao Li, you can't find Ask your senior to transfer Li An back to the city."

Li Lin thought he couldn't hear. His wife had told him about this so many times that his ears were numb.

At this time, the TV series had just finished playing. Li Lin picked up the tea cup and got up and went back to the study. When he left, he didn't forget to take his son's filial cigarettes in his hand.

"Lao Li, you pretended not to hear again, right?"

Na Wenyin became angry immediately. Since going to Shanghai for medical treatment, Na Wenyin's personality has changed unknowingly and she is much stronger than before.

"Mom, don't talk about my dad." Li An felt like he was just full. He took out a few napkins and wiped his mouth and continued: "At the end of the year, Minister Zeng from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee wanted to transfer me there."

"It's a good thing to be transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. When will I be transferred back?" Na Wenyin immediately became happy after hearing this, and her voice became louder.

Li Lin, who had just walked into the study, also heard Na Wenyin's words. His body couldn't help but pause, and he also pricked up his ears to listen.

"I refused." Li An said in a low voice.

"What!!! Why don't you discuss such a big matter with your family?" Na Wenyin's voice became louder several times.

"Mom, I think working at the grassroots level has more prospects." Li An explained weakly when he saw his mother's excitement.

"Anzi, are you out of your mind? What's the future of staying in the countryside? Why do you look more and more like your dad as you get older?" Na Wenyin suddenly became anxious.

I saw him hurriedly walked to the study, "Old Li, hurry up and find Minister Zeng and have a good talk."

Li Lin, who had been standing at the door of the study and eavesdropped, heard his wife's footsteps and sat down in a chair in a hurry.

When he saw his wife walking into the study, he couldn't wait to ask questions. He pretended to be calm and said: "Nonsense, don't interfere in work matters. My son has his own reasons for doing this. Don't interfere with him."

"Okay, okay, you just want your son to stay in the countryside for the rest of his life, right? I don't care." Na Wenyin stamped her feet and went back to the bedroom.

Li An held his forehead. He originally wanted to distract his mother's attention for his father, but he ended up doing the wrong thing with good intentions, which made his mother even more angry.

Li An first took the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table to the kitchen and washed them. Then he walked into his parents' bedroom and saw his mother sitting on the bed and sulking.

"Mom is still angry." Li An sat next to his mother with a smile.

"Humph, you two know how to bully me. I have a foreign surname at home..." Na Wenyin began to complain. .
