Siheyuan, my new life

Lin Yu took a few quick steps, smiled and nodded at his mother and sister, then stretched out his hands to the middle-aged man who came towards him and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Director Yu, for taking the time to accompany my mother and sister on this trip. You've worked hard."

Director Yu quickly shook Lin Yu's hand and laughed, "Chief of Staff Lin is too polite. Several ministers wanted to come to Beijing to visit you in person, but you also know that there are too many military demobilization and resettlement tasks recently, and several ministers are working overtime every day, so they can only let me, the office director, convey their apologies on their behalf."

Lin Yu quickly said: "The leaders are too polite. Please let Director Yu express my deep gratitude on my behalf."

Lin Yunpeng on the side was watching the two people's greetings with a complicated expression. He was extremely regretful at this moment. Who would have thought that an inconspicuous private would become the deputy chief of staff of the division in just a few years, and he was already someone he looked up to. If he had known this, he would have tried every means to establish a good relationship with his son when he came home to visit. He had not been promoted in the district government in the past few years. If he could get his son's support, his career would definitely be much smoother in the future. Thinking of this, his eyes were fixed on his somewhat unfamiliar son in front of him, and he was already thinking about how to talk to his son later.

At this time, Lin Yu smiled and said to his mother: "Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you. I only suffered some minor injuries this time. The commander of the army insisted on letting me return home to recuperate out of his love for me."

Looking at the red eyes of his mother and sister, Lin Yu couldn't help but secretly made up his mind that he would never let these two relatives who truly cared about him get hurt in the future; then he glanced at Lin Yunpeng, whose fat face was full of a stiff smile, and the young woman who was looking at him curiously, and a chill rose in his heart. He didn't feel the slightest concern from these two people at all, only the unconcealable heat and greed in their eyes.

Lin Yu reached out and gently patted his sister who had already started to wipe her tears, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop crying, Nan Nan is already a big girl, don't let people laugh at you."

Lin Nan quickly wiped away her tears, and a blush appeared on her little face. Zhou Xiu beside her also subconsciously wiped away her tears.

Lin Yu waved to the guard room, and a soldier immediately ran over, stood at attention, saluted and greeted: "Hello, Chief."

Lin Yu returned a military salute and said: "Please ask the service center to prepare two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, for lunch for the driver and the other two comrades. I will come to settle the bill in the afternoon." He pointed to the driver sitting in the jeep and Lin Yunpeng and his wife, whose faces had turned ashen.

The soldier agreed loudly and ran quickly to the service center not far away.

Lin Yu ignored Lin Yunpeng, whose face was already grim. Instead, he smiled and called his mother, sister and Director Yu to walk towards the sanatorium. He took out a pen, signed the registration book in the guard room, and then walked into the gate of the sanatorium with the three of them.

Lin Nan gently touched his mother's arm as he walked. Zhou Xiu didn't say anything but just shook her head slightly.

Director Yu was not too surprised by Lin Yu's arrangement. Before coming to Beijing, he had also seen the information about Lin Yu's parents. The information showed that Lin Yu had never had any contact with Lin Yunpeng since he learned that his parents were divorced. Obviously, Lin Yunpeng's behavior of getting tired of the old and loving the new and abandoning his wife to marry another had deeply hurt Lin Yu. Today, he did not give Lin Yunpeng any face at all, and showed Lin Yu's attitude with practical actions.

Entering Villa No. 12, Lin Yu warmly invited everyone to take a seat, then picked up the Camel cigarettes on the coffee table and handed them to Director Yu, and brought a fruit plate and poured tea for the three people.

Director Yu was able to serve as the office director of the Tianjin Armed Forces Department, so his ability to read people's expressions was definitely not a problem. He had long noticed that Lin Nan had been hesitating to speak, so after showing concern for Lin Yu's injuries and exchanging a few words of greeting, he made an excuse to go outside to see the scenery of the sanatorium, got up and walked out of the villa, and walked to a big tree more than ten meters away, smoking and looking around casually.

Lin Yu leaned on the sofa and nodded at Lin Nan, saying, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Brother, did you embarrass Dad by doing that just now?"

Lin Yu waved his hand at his mother who was about to speak, and said in a serious tone: "Nannan, you are already 20 years old this year, and you are also a deputy section-level cadre. I hope you can remember some of my words firmly in your heart. If he really chose to divorce mom because of emotional incompatibility, I would not say much, but from what I understand, he has changed now. In just two years since he came to the city, he has become corrupt and pursued pleasure, and now he has even completely fallen."

At this point, Lin Yu picked up a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. Looking at his bewildered sister, he continued, "Countless revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives to establish the New Dragon Country. You and I are both party members. From the moment we swear in front of the party flag, we must put the party and the country first. Although the New Dragon Country has been established, we should focus more on the construction of the New Dragon Country, rather than resting on our laurels and thinking about comfort and enjoyment. You should know about the corruption case of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, right? Liu and Zhang were both extremely guilty and deserved to be shot, but do you know what happened to their family members and children?"

Seeing her daughter's confused look, Zhou Xiu said in a serious tone: "The Party and the country have taken into account the contributions that Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan have made to the cause of liberation, so they have decided that their children will be raised by the state, and each will receive a monthly living allowance of 150,000 dragon coins. As far as I know, although their current lives can be maintained, the hostility of the people around them is inevitable. After all, they are the children of major embezzlers."

Lin Yu flicked the ash from his cigarette before continuing, "The children of Liu and Zhang are still young, and they don't understand the warmth and coldness of society. When they grow up, whether they go to school or work, they will be labeled as the children of a corrupt official. It can be said that they will have to endure this misfortune for the rest of their lives. Put yourself in their shoes. If something happened to Lin Yunpeng, our mother would have divorced him long ago, so she would not be affected too much. I have shed blood and suffered injuries for the New Dragon Kingdom, and I have won many merits. At most, I will not have room for promotion in the future. But what about you? Not only will you be criticized by people around you, but even your work will be affected. What's worse, even your future marriage and family, and your children's schooling and employment will be affected."

Lin Nan's face was pale at this time. It was obvious that he had heard what his mother and elder brother said. Now he thought that if those things really happened in the future, wouldn't it be a disaster for him?

Thinking of this, Lin Nan said anxiously: "Mom, brother, what should we do? Why don't you talk to him and have a good talk, maybe there is still room for redemption."

Lin Yu pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and tapped Lin Nan's forehead with his finger: "You silly girl, do you think this is a game? I tell you, no matter who it is, as long as they do something wrong, they must bear the responsibility. What about stopping at the brink and reforming? As long as they have committed a crime, even if they have really reformed, there will always be a record in their files. Doesn't Lin Yunpeng know the painful lessons of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan? But does he look like he has learned from experience now? I don't know if you have noticed that when I was injured and hospitalized, he, Lin Yunpeng, looked a little worried and concerned? If I were not the deputy chief of staff of the division now, I am afraid he would not even come to Beijing. What kind of calculations can he hide from a little girl like you who is not very experienced in the world, but you ask our mother, I don't believe that our mother can't notice it."

Zhou Xiu nodded to his daughter who looked surprised and said, "Lin Yunpeng is now an extreme egoist. In his eyes, family affection and children are not as important as power and status. You still don't realize that your brother is only 24 years old this year and is already the deputy chief of staff of the division. With your brother's merits, his future is limitless. Even if your brother leaves the army and transfers to work in the local area, he will definitely be able to take up an important leadership position with his level. And because of the scandal of divorce and remarriage, Lin Yunpeng not only has a demerit on his back, but also has a very bad reputation in the unit. It is estimated that it will be a pipe dream to promote Nan in the future. But now your brother's status gives him a glimmer of hope. It is estimated that he will make a big fuss about this."

Lin Nan couldn't help but snorted after hearing this: "He has become too bad now. No wonder he kept asking Director Yu about my brother on the way to Beijing. Brother, think about what to do? We can't let him implicate us."

Zhou Xiu rolled her eyes at her daughter and said angrily, "Okay, you little girl, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think someone like your brother who has experienced so much gunfire and rain of bullets will be schemed against by him?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "After the military leader told me that he had informed you of the news, I have been thinking about this matter. Since he agreed to let you live with mom when he divorced mom, it will be easy. You will write a statement to sever the father-daughter relationship later, and I will ask Director Yu to hand it over to the Jinmen Municipal Party Committee. In this way, even if he really has problems in the future, it will definitely not involve us."

Seeing her mother nod in agreement, Lin Nan agreed without hesitation. It was obvious that the little girl was frightened by what her mother and elder brother said.

Lin Yu took the paper and pen and gave them to Lin Nan, and Zhou Xiu also came over to help her daughter write.
