There was a sudden silence outside.
In the room, the couple looked at each other. Qin Shouguo asked her, "When did you say you were going to Beijing?"
"I have to report there within ten days, and leave a few days to hand over the work. There are only a few days left." Lin Zhengran replied.
The few people outside stopped making noise and eavesdropped outside the door with telepathic communication.
Qin Shouguo controlled his temper and rubbed his crew cut, asking, "Why did this happen so suddenly? There was no news before. Did you plan to go to Beijing before?"
"If I were so powerful, would I need to be compared to a child by you? You are the Buddha, and I am your Monkey King. I cannot escape your Five Finger Mountain."
Qin Shouguo's throat choked. Now that you've grown stronger, you've learned to laugh at me, right?
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lin Zhengran went up to him and pulled him along, smiling charmingly and flatteringly:
"Stop making trouble, okay? I'm hungry."
Qin Shouguo immediately shook off her hand. It’s such an important matter, and I won’t make a fuss just because you say so?
"You are so powerful that even a big Buddha like me can't suppress you."
After saying that, he walked over to the bed and lay down, covering his head with the quilt, his heart pounding with anger.
Lin Zhengran went up to pull the quilt, saying, "If Su Province was still okay, I wouldn't leave, but now I'm just a deputy section chief, and that's the limit. No matter how hard I try, it's just the beginning. There are more opportunities in Beijing, and I'm still young. There's no reason not to go!"
Qin Shouguo hummed twice under the quilt, and at the same time he was thinking:
What kind of fate is this for him! Don’t be alone in the first half of your life, and then be alone in the second half of your life.
That's too miserable for him!
Thinking of this, Qin Shouguo felt uncomfortable and refused to listen to any advice.
Lin Zhengran pulled the quilt several times and spoke softly, but was pulled back every time.
I cursed him for being childish in my heart, but I also felt that it was rare for him to be so childish.
I laughed secretly for a moment.
As it was getting dark and my stomach was rumbling, I wanted to go out and cook.
The moment the door opened, three people outside rushed forward. Lin Zhengran was prepared and looked at them unhappily.
Qin Xiaomei laughed dryly, and the twins looked inside with their eyes rolling.
"What are you doing? What trouble have you caused again?" Lin Zhengran closed the door, blocking the twins' view.
Seven or eight years old is the age when cats and dogs dislike them, and twins do everything together, so they are doubly disliked.
Qin Xiaomei seemed to have just remembered something, and immediately reached out to grab the person in front of her, beating him while saying to Lin Zhengran:
"These two brats replaced the wine in the cabinet with urine. Today, Mrs. Mao had guests at her house and asked me to borrow two bottles. When they opened them and smelled them, they found they were filled with urine..."
Qin Xiaomei grabbed Xiao San's ear and said angrily, "If you don't bring out the wine, I'll ask your eldest brother to deal with you when he comes back."
Xiao San bent his waist, clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "Aunt, I am your most beloved nephew, how can you bear to let my elder brother abuse me..."
Qin Xiaomei laughed in anger and lightened her grip. "I told you to study harder but you didn't. Is that how you use the word 'waste'?"
"That's how it's used." The waiter beside him said worriedly, "When my eldest brother took action, he didn't care whether we lived or died. Isn't that just a waste?"
The waiter said with a hint of meaning: "The whole family has abused us brothers. You are so cruel. I must have been picked up by you."
"Right." Xiao San choked and shouted, "You must have picked us up from the sand, otherwise how could you let Big Brother bully us brothers?"
Qin Xiaomei nodded at Xiaosan and said angrily, "Yes, if I had known I wouldn't have picked you up before. Picking up a dog would be better than picking you up."
The waiter immediately burst into laughter, "I said that Auntie liked me the most, now you see it."
Xiao San snorted twice at the second brother to express his disapproval.
Lin Zhengran's head ached from the waiter's loud voice. As they walked, she said to her son, "For the next three to five months, your eldest brother won't be able to bully you anymore. You're free."
The two little ones didn't react, so Qin Xiaomei let go of their hands and asked:
"Duobao went out. Where did he go?"
Lin Zhengran went to the kitchen to get the pot, but Qin Xiaomei snatched it away to get some rice. She said, "He went out with his teacher."
"How long will it take?" Qin Xiaomei frowned.
This question stumped Lin Zhengran. She had been in a hurry and forgot to ask.
"Ask your brother..."
Before he finished speaking, the twins' cheers came from outside the kitchen.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, after the fascists are gone, no one cares about us anymore. We are free, brother, we are free—"
The waiter stood on the sofa, speaking in an exaggerated tone of an elder, "When there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. From now on, I'm the eldest brother in this family. I, Lin Zhengrong, have the final say in this family. You're still the younger brother..."
"Why?" Xiao San interrupted him, the veins on her neck bulging with anxiety. "We were born at the same time, and you came out five minutes earlier than me. And why? I don't accept you. I want to be the second brother. I am the second brother of this family..."
Of course Lin Zhengrong was not convinced, so the brothers started fighting in the blink of an eye.
Xiao San said: "Down with fascism, down with Lin Zhengrong——"
The waiter said, "When my eldest brother is not at home, I am the eldest brother in the family. Lin Gengxin, you bastard, you want to rebel, right—"
The two men rolled into a ball, and since they couldn't fight with their hands, they resorted to kicking, showing no mercy to each other.
Qin Xiaomei and Lin Zhengran looked at each other helplessly, their eyes full of annoyance.
Qin Xiaomei said: "Without the tiger, the monkeys will rebel sooner or later without anyone to suppress them."
Lin Zhengran said, "I don't know how long Duobao will be gone. You can ask your brother. He might know."
Qin Xiaomei gave her the pot, but turned back halfway and said disapprovingly:
"Sister-in-law, how can you be a mother? You don't know how long your son has been away. What if he goes to some dangerous place with Brother Liang? Aren't you worried?"
He added, "From now on, when Duobao is not at home, you will be the bad guy."
Lin Zhengran looked at the two naughty boys and said without thinking: "I am leaving too. You definitely can't beat your brother. You must be the bad guy."
Qin Xiaomei was just about to ask her: What do you mean you are leaving too?
Lin Zhengran turned around and went to cook. Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry. No matter what, you have to fill your stomach first.
Mao Shufen arrived not long after. She was bewildered at first, then delightedly said, "Your face is rosy and your features are much clearer. Is there something good happening?"
Lin Zhengran looked up at her. She knew Mao Shufen's abilities. She was a very capable person and her calculations were basically accurate.
"What do you see?"
Mao Shufen walked in and looked her up and down. After a long pause, she said, "Your cleavage is thick, long, and very strong. Did you get a promotion?"
Then he slapped his lips and said to Lin Zhengran, "That's not right! Your superior is still here, and he's been in that position for so many years. He's not even retired yet, so it shouldn't be your turn."
Lin Zhengran replied while cutting vegetables, "I've been transferred to Jing City."
Thinking of something, Lin Zhengran put down the kitchen knife and asked Mao Shufen, "Can you help me see how my love line is?"
