Siheyuan, my new life

Zhou Xiu blushed at his son's words and couldn't help but scold him: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm so old now, the only thing I want is for you to get married and start a family soon, and then I'll wait to hold my grandchildren. When I'm old enough, I'll retire and go over to look after your children."

Lin Yu also knew that in this era, people's thinking was generally conservative, even feudal, and it was probably impossible to get his mother to re-establish a family. But it was better this way, so that the children on both sides would not have trouble handling the relationship.

While Zhou Xiu and her mother were chatting in the office, the security guard at the door had already told every street office staff member passing by that Director Zhou Xiu's son was a senior leader at the bureau level. Soon this explosive news spread rapidly throughout the Dongxing Street Office and was spread through phone calls.

You should know that many middle-aged women working in the sub-district offices are family members of leading cadres, and there are several such people in the Dongxing Sub-district Office. The scandal of Lin Yunpeng abandoning his first wife and marrying a new lover was spread to the ears of the city leaders by these family members.

Although most of these housewives had little education, they were quite politically sensitive through what they had heard and seen. When they learned the news, they immediately slipped out of the office and found a phone outside to inform their families. As a result, the arrival of Comrade Lin Yu from the Beijing Public Security Bureau in Tianjin was quickly reported to the main leaders.

Of course, before reporting, people would definitely confirm in advance that some people had friends or comrades in the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, so they called directly to inquire. After learning that Lin Yu, the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, had indeed taken leave to visit relatives in Tianjin, they reported to their leaders.

Some people also remembered that Deputy Director Sun of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau and Director Zhou of the Dongxing Sub-district Office were relatives, so they asked Deputy Director Sun about Lin Yu in a roundabout way.

To be honest, Deputy Director Sun has never met his daughter-in-law's elder brother. He just heard his son talk about the then deputy chief of staff of the division after visiting the Shijingshan Sanatorium. He heard his son say that his future brother-in-law was very powerful and had close relationships with so many army commanders and division commanders. When he and Lin Nan and her daughter had dinner in the small canteen of the sanatorium, there were three or four army commanders and deputy army commanders who took the initiative to toast enthusiastically. At that time, he was so frightened by the momentum of these veterans that he could not speak, but his future brother-in-law was chatting and laughing with those big shots, and they were very close to each other.

Today, he heard someone asking him about Lin Yu. After all, Deputy Director Sun had been a public security officer for several years. He immediately called his son Sun Yong to ask if there was any news about his brother-in-law Lin Yu.

Sun Yong just received a call from his wife Lin Nan, saying that his elder brother was hosting a dinner party at Huibin Building at noon today. After hearing what his father said, he told his father about his wife's call just now. After all, it was not something shameful.

After finishing the call with his son, Deputy Director Sun picked up the phone again and called the manager of Huibin Building. Deputy Director Sun had a good relationship with Manager Wang of Huibin Building. The purpose of making this call was, firstly, to remind the other party that Lin Yu from the Jingcheng Public Security Bureau was inviting his family to dinner at Huibin Building at noon today, and secondly, to ask him to book a room for himself next to Lin Yu's single room, as he would go there for lunch with several colleagues from the bureau at noon today.

For the rest of the morning, Lin Yu sat on a bench with his mother and casually chatted about many stories from the past, especially the ridiculous things that happened between him and the little girl.

Whenever someone knocked on the door and came in to ask Zhou Xiu to do something, his mother would always finish the task in no time. After sending the person away, she would return to her son who was sitting quietly on the bench and watching her handle her work with a smile on his face, and continue the topic that had just been interrupted. If his mother had not mentioned from time to time that she was urging Lin Yu to get married and start a family, he would really like to spend more time with his mother, just chatting and talking about trivial matters in the family. At this time, his mood was unusually calm, and the anger that had accumulated in his heart because of the things in Shandong Province was slowly dissipating without him noticing. No wonder some people always say that home is a quiet harbor.

At 11:10 am, Yu Lin drove a jeep and, under the direction of his mother, arrived in front of Huibin Building, which is known as "one of the nine tall buildings" in Tianjin.

Due to the scarcity of cars nowadays, even the famous Huibin Building in Tianjin does not have a dedicated parking lot, and people just park their cars in the open space in front of the hotel.

Nowadays, there are only two types of people who can drive their cars to restaurants to eat. One is the big capitalists before liberation, and the other is the buses of some public institutions. Those who can take the bus to restaurants to eat are generally leaders with high positions. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Sometimes drivers from some units will also drive over to eat.

As soon as Lin Yu and his mother got off the jeep, Lin Nan, who had been waiting at the hotel gate and looking around, reached out and grabbed Sun Yong, who was holding his youngest son, and ran over. From a distance, Lin Nan couldn't help but shouting: "Brother, I miss you so much."

Seeing the younger sister who had become a mother and whose immaturity had faded, she reached out and ruffled her ear-length hair, and said with a smile: "You silly girl, you are already a mother, when will you be able to calm down a little bit?"

After that, he smiled at his brother-in-law Sun Yong, who was following behind his wife with a slightly nervous expression, and said: "Hello, Xiaoyong, you have matured a lot since I last saw you in a few years, unlike Nannan who has always been a child." Then he stretched out his hand to take the little guy from Sun Yong's arms, looked at the child's pink face happily, made faces at the little guy lovingly, and said with a smile: "Little guy, when can you call me uncle? I have prepared a lot of toys for you, you have to grow up quickly."

When Sun Yong saw that his brother-in-law, who held a high position, was so approachable, his originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

Mother Zhou Xiu stepped forward and took the child from Lin Yu's arms, bent down and kissed the little guy's delicate face, and said with a smile: "If you want to hold the child, give birth to it yourself, don't you think so, nephew?" It was obvious that the little guy was very familiar with his grandmother. Although he didn't understand what his grandmother said, he still opened his little mouth without any teeth towards her, laughed and stretched out his little hands to grab his grandmother's hair.

From the casual chat with his mother in the morning, Lin Yu learned that Lin Nan and his wife would go home to stay with his mother for three or four days almost every week. Lin Yu understood that his sister was worried that his mother would be too lonely. For Sun Yong, this alone made Lin Yu very satisfied. Filial piety is the first of all virtues. In this era, Sun Yong can do this, which is quite good. Although it has always been advocated that women can hold up half the sky, the traditional idea of ​​men working outside and women working inside still occupies the mainstream of people's consciousness.
