Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Lin Geng didn't care about this. In the past year, he often went to the countryside and ran around, often going to some remote places, and he really encountered several groups of robbers on the road.

Relying on his extraordinary skills and quick reaction, Lin Geng never suffered a loss and captured several groups of robbers one after another and sent them to the police station. For this, it became commonplace for him to be rewarded by the police stations. Not only did he receive rewards from the police station every time, but the police station would also notify the steel mill and ask the steel mill to reward Lin Geng as well.

As a result, it has become a common occurrence for Lin Geng to be commended for catching thieves. Even the announcer, when reading the script praising and rewarding him, has become accustomed to it. He secretly sighs that Lin Geng is really a tough guy. Catching thieves is as easy as eating candy beans. Robbers that others are afraid of to death are unlucky to meet him. They are always captured alive by him and beaten half to death by him.

So when Lin Geng bravely stepped up to help others and caught two thieves who were snatching bags on the street, the steel rolling mill didn't think it was strange. Even Director Yang felt a little tired and was too lazy to reward Lin Geng.

The security officers in the security department were all envious, saying that they worked as security guards every day, but never encountered a single thief. However, Lin Geng, the purchaser, caught thieves as easily as catching chickens, and he caught a group of thieves at a time. In less than a year, he caught several groups of thieves. How could the security department survive? They were so ashamed!

This morning, Lin Geng was sleeping in at home. Everyone else had gone to work, but he didn't need to report to the factory every day, so he often slept in a little longer in the morning. Before he got up, someone knocked on his door, so Lin Geng was a little unhappy and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

A voice came from outside the door: "It's me, your Aunt Liu! Xiaolin, open the door, I have something to talk to you about!"

When he heard that it was Aunt Liu from the Street Office, Lin Geng rolled over and got up, quickly put on his clothes and went to open the door. Aunt Liu saw Lin Geng's messy hair and gave him a white look.

"Don't you see what time it is? You are still sleeping in and the sun is already shining on your butt! What a lazy bum!" Aunt Liu scolded Lin Geng, but Lin Geng let her into the house.

Lin Geng poured Aunt Liu a cup of hot water and asked her to sit down for a while while he went to wash up. But Aunt Liu said, "I won't do it anymore. Director Wang asked me to come here and ask you to come over. He said he has something to talk to you about! I just came to inform you!"

Hurry up and pack up, go to the street office and see what Director Wang wants you to do! Don't keep Director Wang waiting too long!"

When Lin Geng heard this, he quickly asked, "Aunt Liu, what did Aunt Wang want to talk to me about? Do you know? Give me a heads-up first! I can be mentally prepared!"

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know either! When I arrived at the neighborhood office this morning, Director Wang asked me to come over and ask you to come over. I don't know why Director Wang wanted to see you!

Don't ask me anymore. Judging from Director Wang's expression, it's definitely not a bad thing. Just go there quickly. Don't dawdle. I have something else to deal with in another courtyard. You should wash up quickly and change into clean clothes before going there!"

After saying that, Aunt Liu drank a sip of hot water and turned away.

Lin Geng was totally confused and had no idea why Director Wang wanted to see him at this late hour, so he quickly washed up, changed into a clean set of clothes, went out, rode his bike and headed straight for the street office.

When he met Director Wang, Director Wang was handling some matters. Seeing Lin Geng, she asked him to sit for a while until she was done. Lin Geng then began to stroll around the yard of the Street Office, chatting with the staff there. He even ran to the gatekeeper, took out a cigarette, drank from his Gaoping, and boasted to the old man.

Now Lin Geng's status in the street office is not much less than Director Wang's. Everyone knows Lin Geng, because over the past year, the quality of the food in the street office has improved a lot, and most of the meat was obtained by Lin Geng for them.

Moreover, no matter who in the street office had problems and needed some meat, they would find Lin Geng through Director Wang. Lin Geng never let them lose face and always helped them get it successfully. Therefore, Lin Geng was welcomed by all the staff in the street office. As long as Lin Geng came to the street office, no one would fail to give him face.

When Director Wang finished his work and asked someone to find Lin Geng, Lin Geng sat down opposite Director Wang's desk. Director Wang looked Lin Geng up and down, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Xiao Lin! You are not young anymore. You will be 21 after the Chinese New Year. It is time to get married! You should find a wife as soon as possible and give birth to some big fat boys to continue the family line of your Lin family. You are the only son your parents have. You can't just play around and delay this matter!

Aunt Wang has a very nice girl here and wants to introduce her to you. You must not offend Aunt Wang!" Director Wang said to Lin Geng straight to the point.

Lin Geng was also very grateful to Director Wang and Aunt Liu for their concern for his marriage. He knew they were doing it for his own good, so he did not refuse. He smiled and said to Director Wang, "Okay! Since Aunt Wang said so, how can I say no? Tell me about the girl's situation! I want to hear it first!"

Director Wang then said to Lin Geng: "This girl's family conditions are really good. Her father used to be a patriotic businessman. Your Red Star Steel Mill used to be his family's property. His daughter is named Lou Xiao'e. I have also seen her. She is not only beautiful, but also well-educated and kind-hearted!

Now people are looking for a husband for Lou Xiao'e and they found me. After thinking about it, I felt that you are the most suitable one in our area, so I called you over and asked for your opinion!

I have seen this girl before, she is definitely a good girl, I have already given her my word, you can’t let me down!”

After Lin Geng heard this, his mouth opened wide, thinking something was wrong. After all this time, why did Director Wang introduce Lou Xiao'e to him? He had never thought about Lou Xiao'e before. Although he did have a good impression of Lou Xiao'e, it did not mean that he had any thoughts about her.

Lin Geng's first reaction was to refuse, but when he saw Director Wang's threatening look, he knew that Director Wang meant well, so after thinking about it, he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay! Director Wang, since you have already made an agreement with them, what else can I say? Let's meet!"

Under Director Wang's arrangement, Lin Geng finally met Lou Xiao'e. When Lin Geng was taken to the hotel by Director Wang, he saw a middle-aged man who looked very generous. He was obviously a strong man in the business world. It was undoubtedly Lou Bancheng. On the other side sat a graceful and elegant lady, who was undoubtedly Lou's mother.

Lou Xiao'e was sitting next to Lou's mother, looking at Lin Geng who came in with Director Wang with a smiling and somewhat shy look.
