Hearing Du Lin's words, everyone in the room showed a look of astonishment.
People haven't even said a few words to you, and you can figure it out?
Du Lin continued to explain, "Although he didn't talk much to me, he talked a lot with Lao Er and Qi Wen. I learned from his words that he admired Li Xu very much. If that's the case, there must be a reason for his admiration, right?
Given the Third Brother's personality, he would only experience this kind of emotion if something related to him happened, so I made a bold guess, and I think there might be more than just that, there must be other reasons."
Good job.
You are so bold and careful, could you be a scout?
Li Xu looked at him in amazement, not knowing what to say.
The expressions of the others were similar to his, and the room fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
After a long while, Du Ming finally explained the reason.
After all, Du Lin is the eldest son of the Du family, and he needs to know what Li Xu did to his family.
After listening to this, Du Lin's face once again showed an ugly smile, "Xiao Xu, thank you so much for the past two years."
It can be seen that his words are absolutely from the heart.
"We are all family, no need to thank me." Li Xu waved his hand and said.
Du Lin stared at him for a while, then nodded, "You're not bad, much better than that bastard Mu Shan."
Du Ming's brows furrowed instantly. "Why are you bringing him up?"
"Not only that," Du Lin said coldly, "after the second brother gets married, I'll have to settle accounts with them both."
No one knew how angry he was when he found out what Du Qing and his wife had done in the past two years.
If Du Feng wasn't getting married in two days, he was afraid of affecting the wedding. To be honest, he wanted to settle the score with those two ungrateful people today.
Du Ming said angrily, "We have already severed ties with them. What reason do you have to beat them up?"
"No need for reasons, just do it."
"This is inappropriate. It's true that you are the eldest son of the Du family, but you are no longer their big brother." Yang Li persuaded.
Du Lin turned his head away without saying a word.
It was clear he wasn't going to change his mind.
Seeing him like this, Du Ming and his wife looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.
Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Li Xu quickly changed the subject and asked about Du Lin's life in the army.
Upon hearing this question, Du Lin instantly became interested and answered them one by one.
They chatted until very late before Li Xu said goodbye and left.
The next day at noon.
After washing up, Li Xu went to the kitchen and greeted Hu's mother who was cooking and Hu Guilan's sister.
The Hu family mother and daughter came here specifically to take care of Hu Guilan, and it has been more than 20 days.
There was no other way. As Hu Guilan's due date was approaching, she and Li Wenbai were the only ones at home. If an accident happened, no one would know. In addition, she was found to be pregnant with two fetuses a few days ago, so the Li family became even more worried. So they went to invite the mother and daughter over.
Although it is not known whether the Li family has the gene for giving birth to twins, it is certain that the Hu family does.
Because Hu Guilan has two younger brothers who are twins, and one younger brother and one younger sister who are twin boys and girls, otherwise the Hu family would not have so many people.
In fact, they originally only wanted to invite Hu's mother to come, but later the Hu family said they would bring one more person so that Hu Guilan would have someone to look after Li Wenbai if something happened.
Since they all said so, the Li family naturally had no objection.
Of course, the Li family did not ask them for help in vain, but would provide lunch for the mother and daughter every day.
Arriving in the main hall, as soon as he saw him, Li Wenbai rushed over and said, "Second Uncle."
Li Xu squatted down, stretched out his hand to catch the other person, and scolded him with a smile, "Stinky boy, what are you looking for your second uncle for?"
Li Wenbai threw himself into his arms and shouted, "Play, play."
"Okay, Uncle will play with you."
After saying that, he stood up and hugged Li Wenbai, then threw him up and caught him, making the little guy very happy.
After doing this several times, he finally stopped and pretended to be out of breath, "Alright, we've had enough fun. Run around on the ground for a while while your uncle takes a rest."
Each time he only did it a few times, never more than that, and Li Wenbai had become accustomed to it, so after being put on the ground, he didn't bother him and ran around the house directly.
Sitting on the stool, Li Xu and Hu Guilan chatted for a long time before lunch was ready.
After dinner.
A few people felt bored and immediately took out mahjong to play.
I don't play it for a long time, just a one-point game.
Unexpectedly, before I had played two rounds, I saw a middle-aged man walk in.
Seeing him, Li Xu was surprised, "Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
That’s right, the person who came was Liu Gang.
Hu Guilan knew him, so she quickly greeted him and asked her sister to pour him some water.
"Don't bother, I'll just say a few words and leave." Liu Gang said quickly, "Xiao Xu, come out, I have something to tell you."
Li Xu followed him into the yard and asked curiously, "Uncle Liu, what happened that made you rush to find me?"
"Something big has happened. The county received a notice this morning that Tang County has been designated as a pilot area."
"Pilot?" Li Xu was stunned. "What pilot?"
Liu Gang's expression was as if he were constipated. "As for the pilot project of the Socialist Education Movement, in order to prevent the emergence of revisionism, the Central Committee held a meeting a few days ago and decided to launch a universal Socialist Education Movement in urban and rural areas across the country. In rural areas, the main content is the Four Cleanups, which means cleaning up accounts, cleaning up warehouses, cleaning up finances, and cleaning up work points.
In cities, the main content was the Five Antis: opposing corruption and theft, opposing speculation and profiteering, opposing extravagance and waste, opposing decentralization, and opposing bureaucracy.
A few days ago, our county reported a corrupt official. The city thought it was a good job, so they reported it to the provincial government, hoping to get credit and reward. Unexpectedly, the provincial government did the same thing, so they reported it to the highest level. It just so happened that this meeting was about to end, and they were looking for a pilot location, and Tang County was chosen.
Li Xu: ...
Are you kidding?
Why does it sound like a legendary story to me?
After a moment of silence, he asked hesitantly, "Uncle Liu, you didn't lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Liu Gang was almost laughing with anger. "After receiving this notice, the county was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They spent the whole morning in a meeting to discuss a response. After the meeting, the old man didn't even eat to go home to inform me. He told me that the commissioner sent by higher-ups will be here the day after tomorrow at the latest. If you have any unresolved matters, take this time to resolve them. If you can't handle it, tell me and I'll find someone to handle it for you."
Now Li Xu was sure that what happened was true.
At this moment, he really wanted to curse loudly. This was just looking for trouble.
Have those people above never been praised, yet they actually reported corruption to the central government? What were they thinking?
