Rebirth as an official

Chapter 57 Past and Present

"Chen Long, Chen Hu, what are you doing at my house?" Li An looked at the two men in front of him and suppressed his anger.

"Isn't this Anzi? I heard that you went to the countryside to work as a cadre and came back from vacation." Chen Long greeted.

"If nothing happens, you can leave." Li An's face was gloomy and his voice was extremely cold.

It is very rude to drive people away as soon as they meet, but for these two brothers, Li An doesn't mind becoming a rude person.

The two brothers Chen Long and Chen Hu are twins who look almost identical. The only way to identify them is the tattoos on their arms. The elder brother Chen Long has a dragon tattooed on his arm, and the younger brother Chen Hu has a tiger tattooed on his arm.

The two brothers Chen Lin and Chen Hu were well-known gangsters in the family compound. They started to mix in the society before graduating from junior high school. They idled around all day, got into fights, and did a lot of sneaking around in the family compound. Entering the police station was a big deal for them. It's a common occurrence.

Naturally, the two of them came to the house with bad intentions this time. Their purpose was already known by Li An just after listening to a few words at the door.

Since the beginning of 2000, the economic boom has also made the people of Linjiang City gradually become richer. As everyone's income gradually increases, they naturally have a higher pursuit of quality of life.

During this period, my mother, who had been laid off in 1998, had been setting up a cigarette stall on the street. She saw the opportunity and started a furniture business with the funds she had accumulated from running a cigarette stall.

My mother is also a very business-minded person. She has a prosperous furniture business and has made a lot of money.

In less than a year, he paid back the money he borrowed to buy a house and saved enough to pay for Lee An University’s tuition.

More than a year ago, Chen Long and Chen Hu's mother Zhang Yunxiu found her mother and begged her to take her into business together.

The parents of Chen Long and Chen Hu are also poor people. They used to be employees of Qiyi Machinery Factory. The man was in the security department and the woman was a cleaner.

During the layoff wave of [-], they were eliminated by the factories. They were both unemployed at home and had no special skills. They could only do odd jobs here and there to make ends meet.

Their two children are both useless. Not only can they not make any money, they are still living at home, making their life extremely difficult.

Shannian's mother also felt sorry for the family, so she agreed to take Zhang Yunxiu into the furniture industry.

Zhang Yunxiu is very smart and capable. He only worked in his mother's store for less than a year before he figured out the ropes. After saving a certain amount of funds, he opened a store by himself in the same shopping mall. However, due to the lack of funds, he opened a store by himself. The store is not big.

However, as time goes by, the shopping mall where my mother is located has become the largest commercial center in Linjiang. Everyone knows that any fool can make money by opening a store in this shopping mall.

Naturally, the shops became more valuable, and the transfer fees became ridiculously high, making it difficult to find a shop.

Zhang Yunxiu's business is naturally booming, but because the store area was small before, the money he earned was limited.

As the saying goes, "One's love rises to one's hatred." Zhang Yunxiu, who had some money, had a crooked idea and decided to buy his mother's shop.

The story of "Farmer and Snake" happened to her mother. Zhang Yunxiu instructed her two sons to start entangled with their mother.

They came to her door every day and stalked her, trying to persuade her mother to transfer the shop to them.

Seeing that their mother always disagreed, the two began to spread rumors.

He said that his mother, Zhang Yunxiu, was defrauded of how much money she had when she worked in her mother's store. Li An's father bullied them because of his status as a cadre.

Not only did he spread rumors, but he also went to the Discipline Inspection Commission to report and appeal to the Letters and Calls Bureau. In short, Li An's family was in a state of chaos and no peace.

Under tremendous pressure from public opinion, her mother later decided to transfer the shop to Zhang Yunxiu for the sake of her father's reputation. Because the shop was rented from a shopping mall, she even withheld the transfer fee.

"Li An, we all live in the same family home. It doesn't make sense for you to drive us away as soon as we meet."

Chen Long's voice brought Li An back to reality from his memories.

Chen Long had already put away his smile at this time, and his eyes became a little ferocious. He looked at Li An.

Why did Li An go to the countryside and come back with a completely different temperament?

In the past, when Li An saw him in the family home, he would always avoid his eyes, be submissive, and walk around.

Why do you dare to treat yourself with such a tough attitude today? Even your eyes have become fierce.

"Chen Long, it doesn't make sense that you two grown men came to my house to bully an old man." Li An responded without any politeness.

"Li An, we came to Auntie to discuss the transfer of the shop. We didn't bully your mother." Chen Hu stood up and said.

"My shop is not for transfer, you can leave, please." Li An refused bluntly, and after finishing his words, he gave up his position at the door.

"Li An, your mother didn't say anything. What do you want to do here?" Chen Longqian suppressed his anger. If it weren't for this shop, he would have beaten people.

"Sooner or later, this shop will be mine. Of course I can make the decision." Li An seemed not to be afraid of Chen Long's aggressive momentum, and then added: "Don't think that our family is easy to bully."

"Li An, your family has made enough over the years, and it has given us poor people a chance to make money. Besides, if there are rumors that your family is using its power to oppress the people, I'm afraid it will have a bad reputation." Chen Longyin He said darkly, the threat in his words was obvious.

"Haha, then I'm really not afraid anymore. Chen Long, don't treat my family as a fool. Everyone knows how much this shop is worth. How much money can my dad and I make in a month's salary? To put it bluntly, I I would rather give up my job than lose my shop." Li An looked at Chen Long with a hint of sneer.

"Okay, if you have the guts, we'll wait and see."

Chen Long also saw that Li An was definitely unable to negotiate the transfer of the shop and could only leave temporarily.

"Auntie, you should think again, I will come again." Chen Long showed a sinister smile to Na Wenyin and left the house with his younger brother.

After watching Chen Long and Chen Hu leave the house, Li An quickly closed the door. Looking at his mother, he couldn't help but said: "Mom, don't let these two people enter the house in the future. I will solve any problem."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Na Wenyin nodded repeatedly.

The constant harassment by these two people just now made Na Wenyin very embarrassed. When she was at a loss what to do, her son came back.

When my son came back from going to the countryside again, he was completely different. He drove people away very forcefully. This was still the same gentle and cowardly son.

Na Wenyin looked at her son. He had become darker and thinner, but his whole person exuded a mature atmosphere.

But this feeling lasted only a moment, and at this time, my son was giggling.

Li An's thoughts at the door just now were completely disrupted by the Chen brothers. At this time, looking at his mother, who still had black hair, he could only smile. .

"Anzi, what are you doing standing there? Sit down and rest for a while," Na Wenyin said. She always felt that she had just misunderstood and that it was her stupid son who was standing there.

"Okay." Li An sat down a little dull, and he didn't know how to express his emotions at this time.

"You haven't eaten yet. Mom is going to cook for you..." Wen Yin finished speaking and walked towards the kitchen regardless of whether Li An answered.

It is the same for mothers. No matter what the situation, the first thing to worry about is whether their children are hungry.

Looking at his mother's back, Li An felt a little sore in his nose. After decades, he could finally eat his mother's cooking again.

At this time, Li An suddenly felt that something was missing in the house. He looked around and then said, "Mom, where's my dad?"

It's the May Day holiday and my father should be at home.

"Hey, one of your dad's colleagues passed away, and he went to express condolences." Mother said.

"How could it be my dad who came to express condolences?" Li An was a little confused.

"Hey, the work unit has left the union affairs to your father." Mother replied.

When Li An heard the word "trade union", he understood that the work unit was bullying his father, an honest man, again.

Trade unions within the system are notorious for having many things to do, little power, and annoying people.The main tasks include employee condolences, cultural and sports activities, welfare payments, etc. They are all trivial matters. If there are any flaws in the work, anyone can say a few words.

"Hey, forget it, don't try to persuade him, just let him go." Li An was thinking about waiting for his father to come back and persuade him not to worry too much about the work.

My father is also 56 years old this year. He will be relegated to the second line in two years and can wait for retirement with peace of mind.

But if you think carefully about your father's character and temper, your persuasion is in vain, and you might even get scolded.

Only half an hour had passed, and the smell of braised pork ribs wafted from the kitchen.

Li An couldn't help but walk to the kitchen when he smelled it, looked at his mother who was cooking and said, "Mom, why do I feel like you feel younger again this time when you come back?"

"Go, go, I'm teasing your mother, wash your hands and eat quickly." Na Wenyin put the ribs in the pot on a plate.

"Okay" Li An responded.

In the restaurant, Li An was devouring the ribs. His mother looked at Li An and couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Eat slowly, there is still more."

My son has suffered so much in the countryside. He has lost weight and his face has turned dark. Looking at the way he eats, he probably won't be able to have a good meal in the countryside.

"Uh-huh." Li An hesitated twice and continued to eat.

In a hurry, Li An destroyed a plate of spareribs and vinegary potato shreds in just ten minutes, which almost made Na Wenyin shed tears.

Li An burped comfortably, touched his belly, and couldn't help but groan: "I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time."

"Don't touch your belly after eating. You'll never get rid of this bad habit." Na Wenyin knocked off Li An's hand that was touching his belly and scolded her son.

"Oh." Li An replied with a smile. Hearing his mother scold him again was a happy thing.

"Anzi, drink some water." Na Wenyin brought a glass of warm water to Li An.

"Thank you, Mom." Li An took the water glass.

"Be polite to mom or something." Na Wenyin was a little uncomfortable with her son's sudden politeness.

After the mother and son chatted for a while, Na Wenyin spoke again: "Your dad is probably coming back soon. You, please don't get angry with your dad. He doesn't agree with you and Zhai Bei because of your sake." .”
