Siheyuan: Since 51

An old man with gray hair, he looks energetic, especially his eyes, which are particularly bright.

This is not a big deal. The key point is that with just one glance, Lin Zhiyuan recognized that the old man was the person who fell into the water in Shichahai earlier.

Lin Zhiyuan and Qiao Zhuqing walked out of the office one after the other, and just then they saw the old man pacing back and forth at the door.

As soon as he saw Qiao Zhuqing, the old man asked, "Secretary Qiao, is there still no news?"

He just wanted to send someone off, but he didn't expect to be caught by this person again. Qiao Zhuqing's eyelids drooped, and he was quite depressed.

"Master Tao, you guys gave me too little information. There are so many people in the entire capital, how can it be done so quickly? Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have some clues, okay?"

Uncle Tao snorted coldly and frowned, "What clear characteristics, two big guys, leading a child, among which the big guy who saved the child has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite handsome..."

As he spoke, Uncle Tao pointed at Lin Zhiyuan who was about to leave quietly.

“Like this comrade.”

When these words were spoken, the three of them, including Lin Zhiyuan, were stunned.

Uncle Tao was just making an analogy.

Qiao Zhuqing was different. Knowing the Lin family's situation, his heart moved and his eyes lit up. "Comrade Lin, wait a moment."

Lin Zhiyuan felt that he was unlucky. He managed to avoid the big melon from the Jia family in the morning, but he didn't expect it to come again in the afternoon, and it was his own.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he frowned and asked, "Officer Qiao, is there anything else?"

Qiao Zhuqing walked straight forward and asked, "Comrade Lin, on June 6rd, you saved an old man who fell into the water in Shichahai, right?"

Lin Zhiyuan pretended to be confused and waved his hands repeatedly, "Secretary Qiao, I'm just a landlubber, how is that possible?"

Qiao Zhuqing looked suspicious and said unwillingly, "He's tall and handsome, and you have two younger brothers. You meet all the requirements. Don't pretend."

Hearing this, Uncle Tao quickly spoke up, "Comrade Xiaolin, if it's really you, don't lie to me, an old man."

"You two, this is great news. If it's really me, how could I not acknowledge it, right?"

After saying that, Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "I still have things to do at the factory. I'll leave first!"

Lin Zhiyuan left, and Qiao Zhuqing and Uncle Tao looked at each other.

Lin Zhiyuan denied it, but Uncle Tao seemed to believe it a little.

Qiao Zhuqing was still in doubt. How could such a coincidence be possible?

After pondering for a moment, he said uncertainly: "Uncle Tao, don't worry, I think it was him. The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Weren't there a few uncles present at the time? Go and call them, and we'll go to his house to verify it."

Uncle Tao agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After leaving the neighborhood office, Lin Zhiyuan felt that his acting skills were perfect and didn't think about it any more.

First he went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a few glass bottles, filled the space with two bottles of tiger bone wine, and then returned to the steel mill.

I wanted to send it directly to Li Huaide, but when I got there, I found that he was not there.

Lin Zhiyuan was not in a hurry. He put the tiger bone wine into the cabinet under the desk, took out "Cai Gen Tan" again, and began to read it with relish.

after get off work.

Lin Zhiyuan smoked a cigarette at the door.

The two generals Heng and Ha, along with the He family father and son, and Liu Haizhong and a few others came out.

As soon as they met, Sha Zhu looked at Lin Zhiyuan with a face full of resentment and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhiyuan, you..."

Fearing that Sha Zhu would say something treacherous again, Lin Zhiyuan held out his hand to stop him, "Sha Zhu, there are so many people here, let's talk about it when we get back."

The group walked leisurely back to the courtyard.

As he stepped into the hanging flower gate, Lin Zhiyuan saw the scene he least wanted to see.

At the door of the east wing.

Qin Huairu was accompanying Qiao Zhuqing, Uncle Tao, and several other uncles, talking and laughing, chatting.

It's really a ghost that lingers here. Lin Zhiyuan sighed secretly and stepped forward with his head held high.

"Hey, Secretary Qiao, Uncle Tao, I already told you it wasn't me, why did you guys chase me home?"

"Xiao Lin, don't deny it!"

Uncle Tao stood up, smiling, and jokingly said, "By the way, I, the fish, am thinking about you."

As he said this, he glanced at Lin Zhihao next to him.

Lin Zhihao was a little embarrassed and covered his face with his hands, "Brother, I was recognized."

The other uncles also had smiles on their faces, looking like they were enjoying the show.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyuan was helpless and reached out to rub Lin Zhihao's head, "It's okay, go play!"

After saying that, he sighed, "I'm telling you guys, why are you doing this?"

Qiao Zhuqing smiled and said, "Comrade Lin, why do you hide your good deeds?"

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands and said, "It's just a matter of convenience. Don't worry about it."

"How can I not care? You saved my old man's life."

"If there's no me, there will be someone else."

Uncle Tao shook his head slightly and his tone became serious.

"Xiao Lin, as the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone a life-saving favor. If you have any request, just ask. As long as it can be done, I, an old man, will never frown."

"Uncle Tao, it's really not necessary."

While the two were arguing, an old man nearby suggested, "Lao Tao, I think Xiao Lin is not that old, why don't you recommend him to go to college?"

Hearing this, Mr. Tao was immediately delighted and clapped his hands repeatedly, "This is a good suggestion!"

Lin Zhiyuan's heart sank, but he pulled himself together and asked with a frown, "Uncle Tao, are you a university professor?"

Uncle Tao curled his lips and waved his hand, "No, no, but the university can still have a say."

Lin Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that this was one of the four people, but it seemed that he had been overthinking.

"Uncle Tao, no need. I am working in a factory now and am still contributing to the country."

……

After chatting for a while, Uncle Tao said goodbye.

"Xiao Lin, it's getting late. We have to go back first. Today, we are not sure and time is tight. I didn't bring anything with me. I will come to thank you in a few days with a generous gift."

"Uncle Tao, please don't be polite. It's really not necessary."

After seeing a few people off, the neighbors in the yard gathered around again.

Sha Zhu was outspoken and glared at him, "Brother Zhiyuan, so that means you were soaked that day because you were trying to save someone, not trying to fish in the water?"

"Yes!" Lin Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "Everyone, disperse!"

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, "Brother Zhiyuan, you are awesome. You do good things without leaving a name. You are my role model."

……

After circling around for a long time, the crowd dispersed and the place finally quieted down.

Lin Zhiyuan leaned on the sofa, rubbing his forehead.

Beside her, Qin Huairu's face was as red as peach blossoms, and she said happily: "Brother Zhiyuan, I am so lucky, you are so noble."

"Why are you joining in the fun? Don't say that. I'm just an ordinary person. I would feel bad if I didn't help someone in need. But I really don't want to bother with this little thing."

Silent all night.

The next day, early morning.

Lin Zhiyuan arranged the work for several people in the purchasing team and was about to return to the office when Liang Zepeng came forward.

"Team Leader, there is something I need to tell you."

"Come to my office and talk!"

The two came to the office, and Lin Zhiyuan followed Li Huaide's example and threw a cigarette to Liang Zepeng.

"Ze Peng, tell me, what's the matter?"
