That night, Lin Aiguo slept soundly. When he woke up in the morning, he heard the sound of the pigeon whistles outside, which he found lively and melodious, like a magpie announcing good news.
After breakfast, on his way to work, he pondered his plan again. The transfer had been on his mind for a long time.
Ever since the Gu family feud broke out, he had been following the news of the transfer. No one knew Zhou Xiaozheng better than him; he wasn't a predatory tiger, but a hungry wolf.
Working under such a person has its pros and cons. He will protect me, but I have to make him feel comfortable, otherwise he will die without knowing how.
As soon as Lin Aidang entered the office, he took out a file bag from the bottom of the drawer, stared at it for a while, stood up resolutely, took it and walked out.
Lu Yifeng looked at the application on the table and was not surprised. With Zhou Xiaozheng gone, he expected a lot of things to happen, but since he was the second-in-command, he deserved to work hard for his brother.
He looked at Lin Aiguo, was silent for a moment, and asked softly: "There is a quota for going to Cheng City Military District now, but it is more troublesome to come back. Do you want to wait for Brother Zheng to come back and then you two can discuss it."
Lin Aidang shook his head. "I just took advantage of his absence to find you. Don't make it difficult for him. He has already protected me once, and it will be embarrassing if he shows up again. Don't tell anyone. Once you're done, I'll take my wife away."
Lu Yifeng lowered his eyes, hiding a hint of strangeness in his expression, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll risk being punished by Brother Zheng to fulfill your wish for once. But it's a good thing you leave now."
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? We've been together for over a decade. Go back and think about it again. You can always come and take it away before you get off work. Go back first."
Lu Yifeng watched him walk away with ease and sighed. What a shame, having such a spendthrift mother. Even if she had the credit of saving the entire human race, it wouldn't be enough to bother me.
Lu Yifeng's reluctance to leave his comrades dissipated as he thought of the old witch. Leaving early was a good thing. If it weren't for his brother Zheng's loyalty and constant support for him, a demotion or transfer would have been a minor matter, and there was no way he would have been transferred horizontally.
Lin Aiguo finished his business, feeling relieved at the thought that he could leave at any time. He didn't plan to tell the old man the news yet, but planned to explain it to him after getting the transfer documents.
However, he still felt a little guilty. He didn't rush home right after work, but went to see the old man first.
Unexpectedly, before he even reached the retirement home, he ran into the old man in formal attire walking out with Lin Aidang and his family at the main gate. He was quite surprised to see them all beaming with joy.
Old Master Lin waved at him cheerfully, "Come with me to the car, let's go to the Shengli brothers' yard first and take a look. Can you give me some advice on what needs repairing?"
Lin Aiguo glanced at Lin Aidang's family in surprise, then looked at the old man and asked, "Do you have a candidate?"
"How can it be so fast? Prepare the house first, and get married as soon as someone is suitable. You should also look for suitable families for these two brothers. They have no choice but to find one now."
Hearing the old man mention marriage, Lin Aiguo suddenly remembered that his son was about the same age as the second son's youngest son. He had actually forgotten to ask his son if he had a partner.
"Do any of your old friends have suitable daughters? I heard that the Lu family has several daughters, right?"
Lin Aidang looked at the old man speechlessly. He really suspected that the old man was senile and confused. With Old Lu's family background, were his two nephews worthy of him?
"Get in the car first. You two brothers, get in with me, and the rest of you, go get the bus."
Lin Aiguo was fine. After getting in the car, he leaned back and looked out the window.
Elder Lin continued, "The Lu family's youngest daughter is graduating this year. I heard she's beautiful and elegant, with excellent literary talent. She and Zhou Jiao are known as the twin beauties of the capital. Have you seen that girl?"
Lin Aiguo shook his head. "No chance. I heard she has a boyfriend, a classmate, and they're getting married right after graduation. Old Lu has already started preparing the dowry."
Mr. Lin sighed in disappointment and then asked, "Whose family is the other party from?"
"I'm not sure. He didn't say, and no one asked. Anyway, either the child is exceptional, or the couple is well-matched."
After saying that, Lin Aiguo mentioned, "Uncle Yi has also been looking for a partner for his eldest grandson these past two years. I heard he's set his sights on a military doctor this time."
Old Master Lin shook his head. "I know about this. That girl is not suitable. Her face will bring bad luck to her husband. He is getting old and confused."
If Zhang Guoqing were here, he would definitely give a thumbs up! According to the normal trajectory, wouldn’t she be a husband-killer?
After hearing what the old man said, Lin Aiguo lost interest in talking about it. His original intention was not to be picky and make it difficult for him to get a good wife. He just wanted to marry a virtuous woman, and that was enough.
The old man didn't mention his son, and he was happy to pretend to be confused.
After some casual chatting, the car stopped at the entrance of an alley in the east of the city.
The father and his two sons and the guard who was driving got out of the alley. The children who were playing were so shocked that they were stunned for a moment. When they saw the four people in military uniforms entering the alley, they quickly followed them to watch the fun.
Lin Aidang led his father and brother for a while before they stopped at the last door of a narrow alley and opened the door with a lock.
The group went in and closed the door. Standing in the yard, Old Man Lin looked around and said, "Although there is only one entrance, the yard is quite large, enough for your family to live in."
Entering the main room, he knocked on the door and then patted the wooden frame on the window. "The material is still good. But it will cost more money to repair it."
Lin Aidang said cheerfully, "Why repair it? Wait until the two brothers get married and then paint the wing room. I've seen that the tiles are newly renovated before."
Lin Aiguo looked around and asked, "Who has lived here in recent years?"
"The child's mother asked his younger brother to help with the cooking. I'm not very clear about the details."
Lin Aiguo glanced at him and sighed secretly. He looked at the women's supplies left in the house and guessed that this yard had been lent to his brother-in-law, Jiang Laoyao, as a brothel for his downtrodden brother-in-law.
However, he didn't say it out loud. After all, it had already happened, and it would be very uncomfortable to talk about it.
Grandpa Lin's eyes flashed, and he instructed his son, "Find someone to clean it up properly. Don't save the money. Don't leave it to others to take care of it in the future. Ask the aunt at home to come over and clean it up more often."
Haha… Aunt Lin is probably about to cry. She has to take care of the paralyzed old woman and the family’s daily life and diet. How can she handle it with so much more?
"Okay, I'll tell the kid's mother later."
When Jiang Jiangyu came over with his four children, he stood at the door for a while before pushing it open and entering. Before he entered, his voice was already ringing: "Dad, do you think it's okay? It's a pity that the yards in those plots of land in Houhai are not available, otherwise it would be better there."
Lin Aiguo was so shocked by the ignorant words that he lowered his head and suppressed his laughter. "Houhai? Why don't you buy the Imperial Palace?" He also wanted to buy that area, but unfortunately, they were all three or five courtyards, which was impossible to afford with his salary.
“This place is nice too.”
Jiang Jiangyu heard this and said proudly, "That's right, not as good as the best, but better than the worst. My eldest brother-in-law's courtyard is definitely not comparable, but it's still better than my younger sister's."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Dingsheng quickly pulled her clothes from behind.
As expected, everyone fell silent after hearing this. There was no comparison, no harm. But after she pointed it out so bluntly, Mr. Lin's face turned unhappy.
