Siheyuan: Since 51

There is a stone table under the tree on the west side.

Two people play chess, and one person watches.

The brigade commander was wearing a white vest, big shorts, and holding a folding fan in his hand.

Kenong was a little better, but not much, wearing a small vest, long pants, and a cigarette holder in his hand.

Lin Zhiyuan was the most handsome, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants.

He pointed with his finger and gave advice with a smile, "Hey, Uncle Chen, get on the horse and run to the trough."

Lin Manyu propped up the bicycle and shouted with a smile.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, Big Brother, I brought Brother Zhuo with me."

Behind him, Huang Weizhuo stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.

Lingling, you naughty girl, just wait and see how I’m going to deal with you when I get back. Is this an ordinary family?

It’s understandable if others say they don’t know him, but how could I not know the Brigade Commander?

He clenched his fists, quickly picked up the bicycle, and jogged forward.

He gave a standard military salute, "Hello, Chief."

The brigade commander glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Are you Xiaoyu's boyfriend?"

"Yes."

Kenong smiled brightly and waved his hand, "Okay, this is home, don't be so formal."

After saying that, he moved his eyes to the right, "Old Chen and I are here to visit, just pretend we don't exist, you should get to know your future brother-in-law first."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the newcomer with a smile on his face. Apart from anything else, he looked quite handsome.

Lin Manyu didn't just stand there, she introduced herself with a smile.

"Brother, this is my boyfriend, Huang Weizhuo. Brother Zhuo, my brother, Uncle Chen, Uncle Li."

Damn it.

Huang Weizhuo wants to go home.

No, Xiaoyu, you call the leader uncle and act so naturally and intimately, and you also tell me not to feel pressured. Are you sure you are not making things difficult for me?

It’s not that I can’t handle it, this scene is really a bit scary…

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyuan joked, "Okay, why are you so nervous? I see you brought a lot of things. Do you have any sunflower seeds? Bring some over. Let's sit in the yard and chat for a while."

"it is good!"

Huang Weizhuo hurriedly went to the back seat of the bicycle, untied two large sacks, and carried them over.

"Brother, I brought two pounds of pork and six feet of cloth..."

Lin Zhiyuan stood up and stepped forward, patting Huang Weizhuo on the shoulder, and whispered, "I'm really not trying to embarrass you. You'll be more nervous once you enter the house. There are only three of us, and the house is full of women."

Huang Weizhuo was a little dazed for a moment. It was difficult to deal with the women inside, and it was not easy with the big boss in the courtyard around!

Lin Zhiyuan turned his head and gestured, "Come on, I'll take you inside for a walk, and then we can come out and sit down."

"Okay, big brother."

Go inside.

The female relatives who were chatting and laughing saw the three men and began to question them one after another.

"Xiao Huang, how many people are there in your family?"

"Xiao Huang, what are your parents' tempers like?"

……

Huang Weizhuo was too tired to deal with it and secretly glanced at Lin Zhiyuan with pleading eyes.

Lin Zhiyuan pursed his lips at first, then couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Second Aunt, Aunt, two aunts, and Huairu, if you keep asking, Xiao Huang will be scared away."

As he spoke, he lifted his chin and said, "Look at all the sweat on your forehead."

The girls couldn't help but chuckle, and Wu Xia waved her hand.

"Okay, take Xiao Huang to sit in the yard. We are going to start cooking."

Lin Manyu was worried, so she came close to Lin Zhiyuan, lowered her voice, and reminded him, "Brother, you are not allowed to bully others."

"Okay!" Lin Zhiyuan responded, raising his hand to signal, "Come on, Xiao Huang, let's go to the stone table to eat melon seeds and chat."

When he first sat on the stone bench, Huang Weizhuo felt nervous, his smile was unnatural, his speech was nervous, and he even cracked melon seeds.

Lin Zhiyuan made jokes and acted funny between the brigade commander and Kenong, and from time to time he even pulled Huang Weizhuo along, and Huang Weizhuo gradually relaxed.

Seeing that the time was right, the brigade commander made a move and asked casually, "Xiao Huang, what do you do at home?"

Huang Weizhuo pursed his lips and quickly replied, "My father is in the Railway Corps, and his father is Huang Zhigong, the deputy commander of the First Division."

The brigade commander couldn't help but glance sideways, "Wow, it's Boss Tie."

Huang Weizhuo scratched his temple, not knowing how to respond.

Lin Zhiyuan smoothed things over, "His father is his father, what does it have to do with him, Xiao Huang, what about you?"

Huang Weizhuo said immediately, "Head of the Railway Station Security Department."

Kenong nodded, "Yes, he is a section chief at such a young age. It seems that he is young and promising!"

Huang Weizhuo didn't hide anything and blurted out: "I went to Baixiang for a walk and got injured. Then... I was transferred to the railway station."

Lin Zhiyuan frowned, then returned to normal.

"It's inevitable to get injured on the battlefield. Are you feeling better now?"

"Okay, brother."

……

lunch.

Two round tables were set up in the yard, one for the women and one for the children.

As for Lin Zhiyuan and the other three men, they just sat together at the stone table, drinking some wine and chatting.

The two old foxes helped to keep watch, but Lin Zhiyuan did not relax either, and carefully observed Huang Weizhuo's every word and action.

We drank and chatted until about two o'clock. The four of us didn't drink much, probably just over half a catty each.

After seeing Huang Weizhuo off, the brigade commander clicked his tongue and chuckled.

"The young man is okay, he doesn't have any bad intentions and his temper is good."

Kenong added: "The most important thing is that I think Xiaoyu can handle it. Don't worry, nephew, you won't suffer any loss if you marry her."

The brigade commander snorted and curled his lips.

"Still want to suffer a loss? It's not okay to suffer a little injustice. Our girl should go and enjoy herself..."

Afterwards, the parents of both sides met and had a detailed discussion. Lin Zhiyuan did not participate and it was not his turn.

Not to mention Wu Xia, Lin Cuilan, and Qin Huairu, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li alone were exceptionally enthusiastic.

Another week passed, and he met many people at the brigade commander's house, including the old political commissar and even General Li Jin... Lin Zhiyuan dealt with them cautiously.

August 7th, Sunday.

Led by the brigade commander and after passing through layers of inspections, Lin Zhiyuan embarked on the pilgrimage.

After entering the house, the brigade commander greeted everyone, introduced them a few words, and patted Lin Zhiyuan on the shoulder. "You guys chat slowly. I have something else to do. I'll be leaving first!"

Looking at the brigade commander's back, Lin Zhiyuan secretly calmed his mind.

……

It was not until the evening, after having a free meal, that Lin Zhiyuan finally walked out of the room.

Following the guard's instructions, they found the brigade commander and went home together.

After getting in the car, the brigade commander asked with a smile: "Tell me, where does the old man want you to go?"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "No."

The brigade commander couldn't help but frown, his face full of suspicion.

"How could I not have said anything? You three have been chatting for almost a whole day. If it's not confidential, tell me what you talked about?"

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's chat and tell stories."

The brigade commander's eyebrows trembled slightly, then he recovered instantly, glanced at the driver, and then smiled heartily.

"That's it. Do you want me to listen to your stories about Hong Kong Island?"

"I did." Lin Zhiyuan nodded in response, then raised his eyebrows and joked, "And I was bragging for a long time."

After saying this, he said resentfully, "Please tell me, old man, when did I develop this problem? Why is it so widely spread?"

The brigade commander leaned back in his chair and laughed.

"Boasting is nothing. Being able to make it happen is a real skill. I admire you for that."

As he said this, he raised his arm, put it on Lin Zhiyuan's shoulder, and added a sentence.

"Let's go back and have a drink together, and then you can tell me exactly what you've been bragging about."

……

Ten days later, Lin Zhiyuan finally received a transfer order for a new job.
