Siheyuan: Since 51

inside the house.

Lin Zhiyuan was sleeping soundly. When he heard Xiao Shufan's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly put on his clothes without thinking.

As soon as I walked out of the inner room, I saw the Sun brothers and the Zhou couple walking into the living room at the invitation of Qin Huairu and Wu Xia.

Sun Pingan was seen holding little Shufan in his arms, saying with a smile, "Little Shufan, call me uncle."

Little Shufan looked around and saw that his grandmother, mother, and even Uncle Liping were all smiling. He was no longer afraid.

"Which uncle are you?"

After asking this question, another person exclaimed, "Hey, why are you missing two fingers?"

As he spoke, he stared at Sun Ping'an's left hand.

"I'm your uncle Ping An. I've been out of town and just returned to the capital."

Sun Ping'an explained with a chuckle, raised his left hand, smacked his lips, and started to scare people.

"When I was little, I was disobedient and always sucked my fingers. As a result, I had two less fingers when I grew up."

Xiao Shufan turned his head suddenly, stared with big eyes, and asked, "Is it true?"

Sun Pingan nodded seriously, "Of course it's true."

After saying that, he deliberately asked, "Do you like sucking your fingers?"

Xiao Shufan raised his hands, opened and closed them, tried several times, and shook his head vigorously.

"No, I don't. Look, I can reach it with my fingers."

Lin Zhiyuan said, "Hurry up and sit down. Why are you standing? I'll go make a pot of tea."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You guys sit down and talk, I'll go!"

"Row."

Lin Zhiyuan responded and clapped his hands at the little girl in Tang Wenfang's arms.

"Come here, little Zhiruo, let Uncle Yuan hug you."

The little girl is about to turn one year old. She is so adorable with her big eyes blinking.

She didn't refuse, but turned around and leaned towards Lin Zhiyuan.

"So nice."

Lin Zhiyuan held little Zhiruo in his arms, his mouth almost reaching his ears.

Speaking of which, the little girl's name is related to Lin Zhiyuan.

After the little girl was born, Lin Zhiyuan and Qin Huairu went to visit her.

Who knew that they would run into the Zhou family's grandfather and grandson having a heated discussion.

Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows and spoke in a firm tone.

"She's called Yuanzhi. When I went to the south a few years ago, I saw a noble lady with this name. Yuan means a lady from a noble family, and Zhi means elegance."

Father Zhou immediately retorted, "Zhou Yuanzhi, Dad, this doesn't sound good. In my opinion, we should call her Xibai. A girl should be as gentle as a stream, and she should also be blessed with fair skin."

"Grandpa, Dad, it looks like she's my daughter, right?"

Zhou Liping suggested weakly, "I think Meng Yan sounds better."

Mr. Zhou snorted coldly, "What a crappy name, nightmare is not a good word."

Zhou's father immediately agreed, "That's right, if you don't have any education, just go away."

……

Seeing the argument going on, Mr. Zhou glanced sideways and waved his hand.

"Come on, Zhiyuan, stop just watching the fun and come over here to analyze it."

Lin Zhiyuan stepped forward. Not wanting to offend any of the three parties, he curled his lips and said something casually.

"Why not call her Vivian Chow? She's smart and clever."

Old Master Zhou smiled and waved his hands, "Isn't this nonsense? The girl's aunt is called Xiaomin, and her name is Huimin. This is definitely not possible."

Father Zhou immediately followed up, "That's right, no, even though we don't care about it, we can't have the same name as you!"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said another sentence.

"Then let's call her Zhou Zhiruo. As the Chuci says, 'I wear the autumn orchid as a pendant, and Zhi has always been used to describe noble qualities.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou smiled heartily, "Okay, okay, this is good."

Father Zhou also nodded, "Not only is it easy to pronounce, but it also has a good meaning."

Zhou Liping thought about it and decided that this name was better than the one given by the old man and Zhou's father, so he did not object. "Then let's call her Zhou Zhiruo."

After the tea was brewed, Qin Huairu chatted with him for a few minutes and suggested, "Second Aunt, Wenfang, shall we go to the east wing?"

Then he glanced at Lin Zhiyuan and said, "I think they are craving for cigarettes too."

Wu Xia smiled cheerfully, "Let's go."

Zhou Liping urged the women and children to leave.

"Zhiyuan, hurry up, go get some cigarettes, good ones!"

Lin Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, took out a box of Daqianmen from the drawer of the coffee table, threw one to each person, and said unhappily, "That's it, smoke it if you want."

Each of them lit a Daqianmen cigarette and puffed out smoke.

With Lin Zhiyuan's help, Sun Ping'an and Zhou Liping soon became familiar with each other.

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyuan had an idea and asked with a smile: "Liping, when you got married, where did the two college students who came to attend the wedding work?"

Zhou Liping leaned back and frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Zhiyuan pointed at Sun Ping'an and said, "Ping'an doesn't have a partner yet. Don't you want your husband to help you find someone?"

Sun Ping'an was a little shy, but fortunately, he just took a puff of cigarette to hide his embarrassment.

"It's too late. They were already married a long time ago."

Zhou Liping spread his hands, curled his lips, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'll ask Wenfang to help look for it at school, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lin Zhiyuan affirmed, "What's the problem? Our Ping An is a retired company commander. After joining the steel mill, he is at least a deputy section chief. Isn't it a good match for them?"

After that, he joked, "Of course, I'm a little thin and a little dark now. But as a man, I'm full of masculinity."

Zhou Liping laughed and said, "Are you addicted to being a matchmaker? I remember that you were the one who introduced your cousin."

Lin Zhiyuan sighed inwardly, what can I do? Life will be hard in the next few years, and I can't say it openly. Urging me to get married early and buy things can be considered a roundabout way to save the country!

"Well, after getting married, my heart will be settled and I can live a down-to-earth life."

Lin Zhiyuan evaded the question and said, "Let Wenfang take care of it. He is our brother."

The next day, Monday.

At the Party Committee meeting, Lin Zhiyuan was absent-minded.

Hao Zhengyi proposed a personnel transfer, but he didn't think about it and just pushed it aside.

As for other small matters such as New Year benefits, there was basically no comment.

After the meeting, he hurried back to the office, took Sun Ping'an to the Personnel Department, handled the formalities, and then went to the Security Department.

Chen Zhongliang's office.

Lin Zhiyuan spoke first, "Chief Chen, this is Comrade Sun Ping'an, who just came back from the other side of the river. The formalities have been completed, and the rest is up to you."

Sun Ping'an saluted with a standard military salute, "I am the former commander of the Third Company of the certain army...Sun Ping'an, reporting in."

Chen Zhongliang's eyes flashed, "Okay, Ping An, you're welcome, we'll eat from the same pot from now on."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said, "I told you that you were distracted during the meeting just now. It turns out that you wanted to send me a great general!"

After a few pleasantries, Lin Zhiyuan left.

I returned to the office and saw Li Huaide at the door.

"Brother Li, are you looking for me?"

Li Huaide took a puff of cigarette and said, "Nonsense, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

After opening the door, the two sat down on the sofa.

Li Huaide asked, "Where did you go?"

"Well, there's a young man who joined our factory and was just sent to the security department."

Li Huaide was stunned for a moment, then he put down his crossed legs and asked, "You stretched out your hand, but Chen Zhongliang didn't respond?"

Lin Zhiyuan's heart moved, he understood, and waved his hand with a smile.

"How could I have such a talent? I changed jobs on the other side of the river, and I happened to know him, so I followed him around."

After chatting for a while, Li Huaide lowered his voice and said, "There is something I want to tell you in advance."
