The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

Lin Ying and Mo Bin didn't talk about anything too private. They mainly talked about meeting the parents of the three parties. They wanted to know about Mo Bin's family situation, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Mo Bin drove to a small courtyard inside Andingmen. Lin Ying was already waiting for him at the door.

Mo Bin pushed the motorcycle into the yard, and Lin Ying also closed the door. It was a very ordinary small yard, with three main rooms, two east wing rooms, a yard of eighty or ninety square meters, and a stone road.

Standing at the door of the hall was a middle-aged couple with gray hair. The man was wearing a black tunic suit and black-rimmed eyes. The woman had short hair, was tall and thin, and was wearing a military uniform.

"Uncle Meng, Aunt Zhang, hello, I'm Mo Bin." Mo Bin didn't know how to introduce himself, Lin Ying's partner? Will it touch the old man's sadness?

"Hello, Comrade Mo Bin. I heard from Xiaoying that your name is Binzi, so we'll call you Binzi. Please come in." Meng Xiankun said enthusiastically.

"Binzi, come in quickly. Xiaoying, this girl didn't tell you earlier so we can get ready. She came back from the work in a hurry and didn't buy any food." Zhang Qiuxia said with a smile. This child is as tall and handsome as her son. , this girl has good taste and specializes in choosing good ones.

"Uncle and aunt, I brought the food here. It's still hot. We can eat it right away. Xiaoying knows my craftsmanship and it's not bad. You two will also try it today." Mo Bin had already prepared it and discussed it with Lin Ying. of.

"How can this child bring food when he comes to eat? Xiaoying, did you arrange this?" Zhang Qiuxia asked Lin Ying in a hurry.

"Mom, it was Mo Bin who asked for it. We came to eat suddenly. You must not have prepared anything. It would be bad to go out to eat. He might as well prepare it himself and bring it over. Don't worry, his craftsmanship is very good." Lin Ying stepped forward. Holding Zhang Qiuxia in her arms, she said that she had changed her story ever since Meng Qingsheng died and would not listen to anything she said.

Mo Bin opened the back of the tricycle and carried the food box he used last time and a bucket of rice. The Meng family's ancestral home is in Jinling, so they probably prefer rice.

In addition to food, you can't go empty-handed for the first time. Mo Bin brought two bottles of wine, a box of tea, ten apples, a hanging banana, ten kilograms of bear meat, a bottle of honey, and two kilograms of peanut oil, which was quite satisfactory.

Four people were seated, four dishes, one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, which was pretty standard, and of course it was a rich meal at this time.

Meng Xiankun was very happy and took out a bottle of 53-year-old Maotai. He must have a drink. Mo Bin couldn't refuse it. The old man didn't know that it would sell for millions in the future!

While eating and chatting, Meng Xiankun was in high spirits. He asked about Mo Bin's military career and current work with concern. He didn't avoid anything. He talked about his family, work, and his sacrificed son.

The two of them drank a bottle of wine without drinking too much. The meal ended in a timely manner. Lin Ying took the initiative to pack things, and Zhang Qiuxia made tea for everyone.

"Actually, we and I don't agree with the conditions of Xiaoying's child. She sacrificed her birthday. We can't delay her for the rest of her life. We thought that if others don't mind, we will marry our daughter. Who knew this child is so persistent." Meng Xiankun Suddenly took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"When I heard it from the beginning, I expressed my position to my old comrades. I did not object to Lin Ying's conditions. On the contrary, I felt that this girl was doing the right thing. As long as we see the right eye, I will support her in everything. decision. Now we are in love. As long as you two elders don't dislike it, I will recognize you as my godfather and stepmother, and I will support you until you die. In addition, we have also discussed and adopted a son for Qingsheng. What do you two elders think? How's it going?" Mo Bin said it directly. Everyone knows things well, so why go around in circles?

"Of course we have no objection, we just wronged you two." Meng Xiankun and his wife looked at each other, then turned to Mo Bin and Lin Ying.

"There is no grievance. Isn't it a good thing to have a few more relatives? I don't care about other people's opinions, and adopting an orphan now is also a small contribution to society." Mo Bin said seriously that he likes children. , he only had one daughter in his previous life, and when he went abroad, he really felt lonely.

"Binzi, we are very happy that you can think so. We are not very old and our income is not low. It is no problem to raise a child. We have thought about it before, but we are afraid of affecting Xiaoying, so we want to wait until she gets married. When we get married, we will adopt one." Meng Xiankun said in a deep voice.

Mo Bin had some admiration. Both of them were kind-hearted people. At least they could consider everything for Lin Ying and had no selfish thoughts. Lin Ying herself had a bad reputation as a lonely person, and she was also an emotional person, so she proposed With so many conditions, even if they were to adopt a grandson, few would dare to accept the offer.

"Then it's settled. You two will be my adoptive father and mother from now on. Let's hold a simple ceremony. No need to invite outsiders. Sit down and let me offer you a cup of tea." Mo Bin stood up and said.

"Okay, good boy!" Meng Xiankun said excitedly.

"Binzi, you and Xiaoying are both good children." Zhang Qiuxia cried with excitement.

Mo Bin knelt on his knees and carefully and respectfully picked up the teacup for Meng Xiankun first, "Dad, please drink tea!"

"Good boy, daddy drank this tea." Meng Xiankun took the tea cup excitedly.

"Good son, mommy drank too." Zhang Qiuxia took the teacup with tears streaming down her face.

Mo Bin didn't have any resistance. The meaning of marriage in his previous life had been misinterpreted, and such a revolutionary senior was worthy of him.

To put it another way, as a descendant, if he can use such a relationship to bind a high-ranking couple, he must have made a profit, not to mention that his salary is very high, and he also bought a small yard. , it’s not a loss to provide for others in their old age, right?

Since the death of his son, Meng Xiankun has transferred to the railway department. He is in the Transportation Security Bureau under the Beijing North Bureau. He is currently ranked fifth in the Standing Committee. He is in charge of intelligence, enemy defense and special forces, and enjoys level 12 treatment.

The organizational structure at this time was not as strict and clear as it was later. Some units, due to their special nature, were equipped with very high-level cadres, and there were many people like him.

The position only determines the rights, responsibilities and tasks, while the level determines the status and remuneration. Therefore, there are many phenomena of high officials and small officials, high officials and small officials, or officials but no positions.

如当时中央局不少11、12级干部，职务只是干事。军队各总部机关和军事院校中，10级、11级、12级的干事、参谋、助理和教员也很常见。

But not to mention other subsidies, with a monthly salary income of 170.8 yuan, and some special subsidies and supplies, the family is really not short of money.

Zhang Qiuxia is a senior colonel at the regiment level, and her monthly salary is 177 yuan, which is higher than her husband who has a higher rank. This is because the army's current salary is much higher than that of the local government, and it pursues the policy of "blood is worth more than sweat".

Of course, when she changed her job and stepped on the threshold of level 13, she could only get a salary of 153.9 yuan.

What makes Mo Bin secretly happy is that his godmother Zhang Qiuxia is really a follower of her husband and she directly changes her job to the China Railway Federation. This is a good place to escape from danger. It is much better than her former unit and it will not be chaotic for a few days.

There is no problem with the future safety of the two old people. This is Mo Bin's biggest concern. Now he can focus entirely on his old father-in-law.

Let’s talk about the future. There are still at least seven or eight years. Then I will advise the old man to simply transfer him to the railway. The military control there is faster and there will be no big troubles.

I hope that when we get to the branch level, the noise will be a little quieter, and Mo Bin will be able to exert himself, and there won't be much of a problem. Even if he is decentralized, he will have a way. Finding a safer and more relaxed place will not be difficult at all.
