Siheyuan: Since 51

Brigade commander's home.

Under the tree, the furnishings have been upgraded.

There are two rocking chairs on the left and right, a square table in the middle, and a wooden stool behind the table.

The brigade commander and Kenong were lying on the chairs, one on each side, looking quite comfortable.

Kenong asked slowly, "Old Chen, don't let this fool you. What if my nephew doesn't come and doesn't fall into the trap?"

"That can't be done."

The brigade commander rocked in the rocking chair without opening his eyes and pouting.

"Last time, we exposed his weakness and let him know that he was fooled. After returning, he must have been very depressed."

As he spoke, he raised his voice slightly, "I heard that I suffered a loss. If he doesn't want to show off, or if he doesn't want to see the joke, I'll take his last name."

Kenong smiled and then sighed.

"I have to say, I also like this boy. To be honest, I envy the relationship between you two. The boys in my family don't have this kind of cleverness."

The brigade commander showed a hint of pride between his brows, "Of course, this is my great nephew."

Kenong looked sideways and asked, "Tell me, what did you gain today?"

The brigade commander suddenly opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"What did you gain? Don't talk nonsense. My good nephew comforted his poor uncle Chen. What does it have to do with you?"

"Are you killing the donkey after it has done its job?"

"Don't say that. You're not a donkey."

"Mr. Chen, do you still have any shame?"

"What's the point of having a face? Am I not pitiful enough?"

……

Just at this moment, Lin Zhiyuan arrived at the gate of the courtyard. When he heard the brigade commander say that he was pitiful, he chuckled, patted the gate and shouted loudly.

"Uncle Chen, I know you're in a bad mood. Don't be anxious. Try to calm down."

After saying that, he rubbed his cheeks, which were a little sore from smiling.

The brigade commander lowered his voice and said, "Okay, let's talk after he leaves."

Kenong snorted coldly and said nothing.

It was Mrs. Chen who opened the door again. She asked with a smile, "Zhiyuan, is the second child obedient in your house?"

"I am obedient, I am very obedient. I study for half a day, play for half a day, and exercise with Zhihao in the evening."

"That's great. This child has not been well-behaved or scolded. But he has made some progress since he came to your house."

Enter the door.

Lin Zhiyuan tried to suppress his smile, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, how are you these days?"

The brigade commander snorted coldly and said unhappily: "How could you not know?"

Kenong waved his hand, "Come over quickly, light a cigarette, pour tea, and fan yourself."

"okay."

Lin Zhiyuan ran over happily and sat down on the stool between the two of them.

Looking at the palm-leaf fan on the table, I felt even more proud. I just don't believe that you won't ask for it this time.

The brigade commander didn't turn his head, but moved his eyes to the left, glanced, and snorted, "What are you doing, light a cigarette."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled, picked up the cigarette box and smoked two cigarettes.

Just as he was about to hand it over, the brigade commander patted the armrest and said, "What do you mean, you want me to eat tobacco?"

Oh my, why are you so angry?

It seems that you have really suffered a loss. Who can you blame for making you suffer a loss?

Forget it, forget it. I’ll just coax you out of your pity!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyuan took out two cigarette holders from his pocket, stuffed cigarettes into each, and placed them between the two men's fingers.

Kenong raised his eyebrows slightly and praised.

"Old Chen, don't be so sullen. Your nephew is so considerate. He knows you've been wronged, so isn't he here to comfort you?"

"Humph!"

The brigade commander's tone became slightly more normal, and he leaned forward, leaning forward, "Light a cigarette."

"okay."

Lin Zhiyuan took out a lighter, lit it for the brigade commander with a "clang", and slowly put it down.

Then he took out another one, lit a cigarette for Kenong, and handed it to him.

"Uncle Li, I'm not partial to one over the other."

Kenong's eyes flashed, he picked up the lighter and looked at it, his own portrait, his own name, his smile became even wider, and he immediately put it in his pocket.

Oops, surprise?

No wonder Lao Chen loves to play, it’s a wonderful feeling.

The brigade commander was slightly startled, then spoke slowly.

"Oh my, it turns out that their feelings have faded! In this world, the old is replaced by the new, and Uncle Li is replaced by Uncle Chen!"

A famous scene, absolutely a famous scene.

Lin Zhiyuan was secretly delighted and took out a silver cigarette case.

"Uncle Chen, look at what you said. The relationship between us is irreplaceable. This cigarette box is a gift to you."

The brigade commander put the cigarette in his mouth, picked up the cigarette box and looked at it back and forth.

There is a picture of a tiger roaring in the mountains on the front, and the portrait and name of the brigade commander on the back.

The brigade commander was quite pleased with it, but he pouted his lips and said, "It's okay!"

Kenong's eyes were filled with jealousy, and he glared at her, "Nephew, you are treating me differently."

After that, he said to the brigade commander: "Old Chen, if you don't like it, give it to me. I think it's good."

The brigade commander snorted, "You wish for it. Even if you don't like it, it's still a gift from my great nephew."

Kenong refused to give in, "You're still occupying me if you don't like me. Where's your face?"

……

The two quarreled again.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't interrupt, just watched the show quietly, smoking a cigarette from time to time. It was so fucking beautiful.

After chatting, drinking tea and having a meal, Lin Zhiyuan was ready to leave.

The brigade commander returned to the house, took out a cloth bag, and threw it to Lin Zhiyuan, "Take it."

Lin Zhiyuan subconsciously caught it, reached out and touched it, and was overjoyed, "Two?"

The brigade commander smiled heartily and walked up to pat Lin Zhiyuan on the shoulder.

"Well, one for me and one for Kenong. If you run out, I'll buy more."

"Let's go, Uncle Chen, Uncle Li..."

After waving his hand, Lin Zhiyuan rode his bicycle into the night.

Along the way, I felt guilty for no reason and was thinking about it secretly.

Alas, I was hoping Uncle Chen would ask for it, but luckily he gave it to me.

What's the fun in this? Why am I such a jerk?

Two packs of cigarettes, if they're gone you're asked to get more.

I made a lot of money, why can't I be happy?

Brigade commander's home.

After seeing Lin Zhiyuan off, the brigade commander and his companion returned to their rocking chairs in the yard.

Kenong lit a cigarette with his lighter, put it back in his pocket, and couldn't help but make a joke.

"Old Chen, is there another act? I'm convinced that you're the one who's supposed to perform this act."

The brigade commander laughed out loud.

"What, you got a loss? The cigarette holder and folding fan are not worth much, but the meaning is different! Besides, you have a special lighter."

"That's true."

Kenong couldn't help but laugh, and sighed, "My nephew is so lucky. He is a shrewd kid to begin with. If you continue to train him like this, I can't imagine how much trouble he will cause in the future."

The brigade commander rested his head on his hands and rocked the rocking chair.

"I've already said it, he's a good nephew. If I don't teach him, what if he suffers in the future?"

……

December 8th, Monday.

It seemed as if the God was angry and furious, and torrential rain poured down on the earth.

The raindrops hit the window frame, making crackling sounds.

Party Committee Office.

Lin Zhiyuan was also in a bad mood.

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Four to three, the minority obeys the majority, and we will do as Comrade Hong Ming wishes."

After that, he looked around and asked, "Anything else?"

Seeing that no one spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Let's adjourn the meeting."

Lin Zhiyuan had a smile on his face as he glanced at Hou Hongming, Li Xiao, Hao Zhengyi, and Du Zhongyu.

He picked up the teacup, picked up the notebook, and went straight back to the office.
