play tricks

Because of being stopped on the way these days, the two decided not to return to Tiandu at all, and flew directly to Bei'an.The journey went smoothly, but as soon as their plane landed in Bei'an, it began to snow in Bei'an, and several planes behind them all turned around.

The two got off the plane, and the people from the Zhao family who picked up the plane here even knew Chen Xiuyuan——Zhao Wenwen's niece, Xue Lan.

"This... I'm called uncle? No! Uncle? Or aunt?" Xue Lan was originally close to her uncle, but later she knew that she almost killed Zhao Ziwen. Even if Zhao Ziwen came back safely, the little girl I was terrified enough, and fell seriously ill.Therefore, now she is much thinner than when Chen Xiuyuan first saw her.But he still smiled playfully, joking with Zhao Ziwen and Chen Xiuyuan.

Chen Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows high and had a weird expression. He didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Zhao Wenwen.Zhao Ziwen also laughed, and tapped the niece on the forehead: "You are older than Xiao Chen, and you are so playful, you are not afraid of blushing!" After thinking for a while, he said, "Call me by name, don't call me by those messy names. .And...how is the old man?"

"The most important thing is the last sentence, right?" Xue Lan smiled, "Take the things, let's walk while I talk. Uncle, you drive, and Xiao Chen and I sit in the back."

Xue Lan drove here by herself, but when she returned, she was lazy and sat behind with Chen Xiuyuan.

The residence of Mr. Zhao's family is not in the urban area of ​​Beijing, but in the suburbs.After leaving the airport, the car went directly to the expressway and headed towards the suburbs. Xue Lan sat at the back and started talking about family affairs.

In fact, there is only the old man of the Zhao family in Bei'an's family.As for this old man, before coming, Zhao Ziwen had of course told Chen Xiuyuan a lot.The most basic thing is that the old man is a tough person in every way.When his sons and daughters went out to work, he said, "It's important for you to do things outside. If you have nothing to do, don't run away. Just come over every year and let the juniors who are free come back."

If they were ordinary parents, they would think that the old man was being polite, but in fact they still hoped that their children would come back.But what Mr. Zhao said is true. The bloody example is the eldest brother who left home the first time in his family. In his first year of work, the eldest brother asked for leave and came back to celebrate the New Year. He was beaten out by the old man with a broom...

Moreover, the beating was not light, at least Zhao Ziwen knew that his elder brother's character of gnashing his teeth also limped for two days.

It's the same this year, even the juniors who have jobs, Mr. Zhao asked them not to come back.In recent years, the old man's temper has eased a lot, so Zhao Xiwen's nephews and nieces who came back "accidentally" were not beaten, but just shut down.

As for why the old man did this, Zhao Ziwen discussed it with his brothers and sisters in private, and did not hide it from Chen Xiuyuan.It's not that the old man has a weird personality, but that he has experienced a lot after all, and he feels that since he has retired, he has to avoid suspicion, so as not to cause trouble for his children-he doesn't even see his own children, so those who run through the back door are even more No one dared to find him.

Over the years, the door of the old man's house has indeed always been neglected.The vast majority of people know that the old man of the Zhao family is a weird old man, and no one would run to him without looking for trouble.

What Xue Lan is talking about now is about the old man this year. There are more people coming back this year, but of course, it is not Xue Lan's cousins, but the third generation who will call her cousin.

"Uncle, you are also from the uncle's generation. Chen... Let me call you Brother Chen. Brother Chen, you just came in to be a grandfather."

"..." Both Zhao Ziwen and Chen Xiuyuan were embarrassed, Zhao Wenwen drove the car and talked about his niece, "Lan Lan, if you speak so strangely, be careful..."

"What? Uncle still wants to complain to my mother?"

"You're not afraid of having nightmares every night, are you?"

"Uncle!" Xue Lan immediately lost her sloppiness just now. If the car was driving at this moment, she would definitely jump up and run out in fright.Looking at Chen Xiuyuan's radiant spirit and curious and probing eyes before, it immediately became full of fear and panic—if it is said that when she first entered the freshman year, she was still a little curious about gods and ghosts, otherwise she would not be teased She used to play Die Xian together, but now, after experiencing so many horrible things, she completely keeps them at a distance.

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore, then I will always leave the ring for you as a talisman."

That ring, of course, refers to Chen Xiuyuan wearing it for a long time, and then gave it to Zhao Wenwen, who gave Xue Lan the ring before he was kidnapped.

"I won't say anything, is that okay?" Xue Lan raised her hand and swore.

On the road afterwards, Xue Lan did not say anything funny, but just talked about new things in the university.When they got close to the house, Xue Lan suddenly asked Chen Xiuyuan: "Brother Chen, why don't you go to college?"

"I don't want to go to college."

"Huh?" Zhao Ziwen was also curious, he thought that Chen Xiuyuan gave up for revenge.

"Why don't you want to, how good is it to go to college? You can meet a lot of tall, handsome and rich people, and they are all younger than my uncle."

"Lan...Lan..."

"I'm telling the truth, not nonsense."

"..." Zhao Ziwen was helpless with this niece.

"Actually, I don't even want to go to school." This was the first time Chen Xiuyuan said about his studies, "I don't like places with many people."

Xue Lan stuck out her tongue: "You are really an expert. But, when you get home, don't tell my grandpa that you do this."

"You don't need to worry about this, Xiao Chen is now a police inspector of the National Security Bureau."

"Huh?" Xue Lan was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

"Uncle... can you lend me Brother Chen?"

"What?"

"Be my shield. There are several brown candies chasing me in school." Xue Lan didn't publicize her identity, but some interested people can easily find out.

"You watch too much TV, don't bother if you don't want it, and Xiao Chen will be used as a shield for you, so be careful not to get into trouble." Of course, Zhao Ziwen also understands that those who value Xue Lan's appearance and character to stalk him don't care. But if they were stalking because they knew the situation of their family...the family has a lot of money.Let Chen Xiuyuan be a shield?Really looking for trouble.

Xue Lan stuck out her tongue again, knowing that Zhao Ziwen was already a little angry, this time he really didn't speak, and he had already seen the front door of his house... Uh, not only saw the door, but also saw his old man...

The old man's house is a large courtyard in the suburbs, with green bricks and green tiles, which has a classic charm.The old man is still planting flowers in the yard, raising chickens, and raising dogs. It is definitely a good place to live.

At this moment, the old man of the Zhao family, who was neither hunchback nor deaf, was leading a big wolfhound half the height of a man, standing at the door with a gloomy face.

Zhao Ziwen stopped the car, and the three of them obediently got out of the car.Xue Lan immediately called "Grandpa" in a gust of wind, and wanted to hug the old man's arm, but the old man glared at her.Xue Lan was honest and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to the house." She didn't even dare to look at Chen Xiuyuan and Zhao Xiwen, and ran to the yard at a faster speed.

"Dad..." Although Zhao Xiwen called the old man, it was obvious that he was in awe of the old man, and he could tell from his trembling facial expression.

The old man didn't look at him, but went straight to Chen Xiuyuan: "Xiao Chen, is that right? Eighteen this year?"

"Well, it's only been a few months."

"I heard that you were injured when you went to catch drug dealers in the south a few days ago? Has your injury healed?"

"It's all right, it's all right."

"Now that you are young, you are indeed recovering quickly, but don't worry about it, you have to cultivate yourself, otherwise if the root cause of the disease falls, you will be in trouble when you get older." The old man said very lovingly.Before returning, Zhao Xiwen did not report to his niece, but of course he "selectively" told the old man the truth, and the old man only investigated it. Those who know the truth of the Tao have concealed those aspects that belong to the dark world.Therefore, the old man thought that Chen Xiuyuan was a young, brave, capable, responsible, and fearless young national security soldier...

"Thank you Uncle, I'm really all right now." Mr. Zhao made Chen Xiuyuan feel very comfortable.

"That's good... go inside to warm up." The old man smiled and patted Chen Xiuyuan's shoulder, "There is nothing good at home, but I grow and cook melon seeds myself. You can try it."

"Yeah." Chen Xiuyuan nodded, and was about to get his own salute, but the old man's big rough hand grabbed him: "Go, go into the house, someone will take care of these things."

Someone... anyone?

The answer is - Zhao Ziwen.

Chen Xiuyuan couldn't resist the old man, so he went into the room, but he felt that the old man seemed to have misunderstood the boss, so even if he entered the house—Xue Lan, who was one step ahead of him, saw him coming in and dragged him into the room on the side—it didn't matter. Looking around, but kept staring at Zhao Ziwen.

Zhao Xiwen painstakingly moved all the salutes out of the car, and then, under the majestic stare of the old man, he honestly followed into another room, which seemed to be the old man's bedroom.

"Tell me, how did you deceive a good boy?" As soon as he entered the door, the old man sat on a chair, assumed the posture of interrogating a prisoner, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he fixed his eyes on Zhao Wenwen!

"Dad, how can you say you're lying?"

"Don't lie?! Such a good child, would he be willing to be with you?"
