Chapter 110

After the third uncle's family discussed it, they couldn't eat. In the end, they felt that what the first house did must not affect their third house. The eldest son of the third uncle's grandfather supported the third uncle's grandfather and followed him to the commune guesthouse without eating.

Lin Zhaotong's family went to the commune canteen to eat, and they didn't follow them to the canteen. They sat in the guesthouse and waited.

When Lin Zhaotong's family finished their meal and talked with some leaders in the commune for a while and returned to the guesthouse, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Zhaotong frowned when he saw his great-uncle, who was sitting in the guesthouse eating biscuits and came to greet him when he saw him, and asked softly, "Why is the third uncle here?"

The great-uncle smiled and nodded attentively to the commune leader who sent them back, and said to Lin Zhaotong kindly, "There are some things that I forgot to tell you before, so I hurried over to tell you."

Lin Zhaotong guessed from their looks that they probably didn't have dinner, so he followed them.

He sighed in his heart, told the commune secretary, deputy secretary and a few others to go back first, and then said to the great-uncle and his son, "Then come up and talk."

He didn't offend them.

The elder Lin, who followed the great-uncle, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just for these few words, the commune leaders should not embarrass them later, right?

In this way, this trip is worth it.

Li Huiru sneered at the expression on the elder Lin's face.

My husband always thinks they are honest and simple, even if they have some small calculations, they are all for their livelihood. Such a quick reaction, honest and simple?

Ha.

Lin Zhaotong welcomed them into the room, asked them to sit down, and said: "Third uncle, second brother, tell me what you want to say."

Third uncle turned his head and glanced at Li Huiru and Fengfeng beside him.

Lin Zhaotong smiled and said: "Fengfeng rarely goes back to his hometown, and there are some estrangements in recent years. If you have anything to say, let him listen to it, so that he can learn more about his hometown."

Third uncle: ... With them around, there are some things that he really can't say.

Especially those sharp words that Li Huiru said in their house before, which made him feel very uncomfortable when he thought about it.

But he had to say it even if he couldn't say it.

He said, "Zhaotong, I came here to tell you about what my elder brother and his friends did."

"You were all in the city back then. Whether it was you or my elder brother, we in the countryside didn't know anything. We were just worried about you, but we couldn't do anything... Zhaotong, my heart is burning when I think of these things, and I don't know how to tell you."

He burst into tears again.

Lin Zhaotong sighed and handed him a towel.

The third uncle wiped his face and said, "If it were the old days, we would have to find the elders of the clan and punish them according to the clan rules. But now the elders are gone, and the eldest brother is the oldest, and now it is a new society... I really don't know how to deal with this matter, Zhaotong, I just want to hear your opinion. No matter what, the eldest brother and his friends did such a thing, we can't let the eldest brother be disappointed with our old family, and we can't let Fengfeng have a rift with our old family in the future... After all, you can't write two Lin characters with one stroke, and everyone's roots are still here." Lin Zhaotong was a little surprised. He guessed that they came to plead, to express that the things that happened in the past had nothing to do with them, or just to perform for everyone to show that they were still very close to them. But he didn't expect them to say such a thing. This rhetoric must be said well. Lin Zhaotong smiled bitterly. He said, "We have already made peace with my uncle's family. As for the village, my third uncle also said that we are now in a new society with a new legal system, not a clan society anymore. Why do we still have clan-based decisions? Isn't this the Four Olds that have been destroyed long ago?"

"Third uncle, don't worry about these things. We are telling this story just to let the villagers know the truth and not to be rude.Let them pass on the wrong information behind their backs. "

He said to Lin Lao Da, "It's getting late today, second brother, you should take your third uncle back early."

He straightened his face again and said, "Second brother, the third uncle is old. It's so dark, how can he run out? If he falls or bumps, it's not a small matter. These words are not a big deal. It's the same tomorrow. Descendants have their own blessings. As long as you have a righteous heart, do things down-to-earth, and be a decent person, you can live a bright life whether you are farming or doing other things. "

It was okay when Lin Zhaotong was deliberately gentle.

But now when he put on a serious expression and a scolding tone, the momentum was very intimidating.

Lin Lao Da was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands. He could only say: "Yes, what the third cousin said."

"Then go back early. "

Without waiting for them to say anything else, he stood up and personally sent them out.

After everyone left, Lin Zhaotong came back, looked at his son, frowned and said: "Don't show your emotions on your face, be upright in heart and behavior, you haven't learned this in all these years in the military school?"

Fengfeng immediately stood at attention and said: "Dad, you are teaching me right."

Lin Zhaotong: ...

He sighed and said: "I know you don't like them because of those things, but they are just ordinary farmers. Many farmers, because of their limited knowledge, or the influence of traditional concepts, or even for that mouthful of food, their thoughts and actions do not meet your expectations, but they are also them, working diligently on the land, raising generations after generations. What we need to do is to see the problems, and then always have an open mind and do our best to improve them. "

"Dad, you are right,"

Feng Feng said seriously, "I have another thing to report to you. When you were chatting with the commune leaders, I also chatted with a director Cao and learned about some things in Linjia Village. He also told me that a few days ago, my third uncle found the principal of the commune primary school and wanted to arrange their grandson to be a primary school teacher in the commune primary school. However, the commune primary school did not have a teacher quota, so they told them to wait until the brigade primary school expanded the class before arranging him. But Director Cao said that there were actually several candidates who graduated from high school in the brigade, but Dashun only graduated from junior high school, which made them very embarrassed. "

"I told him directly, what's the embarrassment? My sister always said that children's education is a very important and serious matter. Of course, the best ones should be admitted. How can you use backdoors and talk about personal relationships when selecting teachers? How can such teachers teach students? First of all, they are not upright. "

"Dad, do you think I am right? "

Lin Zhaotong: ...

His face was gloomy, and he was still a little stuck by his son.

"Yes,"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's getting late, go back to your room, wash your face and go to bed."

It's so annoying to have him standing in front of me!

Also, this son is sharp-tongued, pretentious, and weird. Who does he look like?!

He and his wife are not like this!

Wait for Fengfeng to goose-step and leave.

Li Huiru looked at her husband's toothache expression and felt a little funny.

But she still said: "Zhaotong, I know you are always more tolerant of these people in your hometown than others, but I have thought a lot these days. In fact, what you just said is right or wrong. Yes, they are ordinary farmers. Because of their limited knowledge or traditional concepts, they have many problems... But I don't think this is a reason for us to tolerate and let them go. At the beginning, they may not be so selfish, driven by profit, and bold. It is because of your years of indulgence and connivance that they are moving more and more in this direction. "

In fact, it can be said that you ruined them.

You made them what they are now.

She shook her head and said, "Look at the Liang family. I think they are truly simple, kind and honest farmers. Only such a family can raise an excellent child like Jinxi. It is the same principle to spoil a child. If you had suppressed them in time and dispelled their selfish thoughts when they showed those selfish signs at the beginning, instead of always helping them and indulging them, you would not have raised them to be what they are now. "

Lin Zhaotong's face was dark.

The next morning, Lin Zhaotong and his family did not go to Linjia Village, but just strolled around the commune.

However, because of what Fengfeng said last night, Lin Zhaotong specifically told the commune secretary that if the Lin family came to them again, they should handle it impartially and absolutely not give them extra care. He also specifically mentioned the issue of the brigade's primary school teachers, asking them to select people according to their knowledge and character, and not to make special arrangements.

When Lin Zhaotong said this, Director Cao glanced at Fengfeng and saw that the boy was sitting upright with a serious face.

Thinking of the ring of questions he asked me last night when he asked me about something, hey, this boy, he has become .

... He also specifically mentioned to me that his great-uncle's family had tried to seize their family property when his father was sent down to the countryside, and had oppressed his siblings in various ways.

Director Cao had certainly heard the rumors that Secretary Lin's adopted daughter was ungrateful, unkind, and rebellious.

Director Cao shook his head.

The people of this old Lin family are really short-sighted.

... You don't cage such a kid, but murder them?

When Director Cao saw Lin Shu and her lover again in the morning, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

... Is this old Lin family crazy?

Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi brought their son to accompany Lin Zhaotong and Li Huiru again.Went to Linjia Village.

But this time they didn't go to the house of the third uncle.

It was Liang Jinxi who proposed it.

He said: "Dad, when Shushu was at my house, the great uncle and the third uncle came with a group of villagers to take Fengfeng away. It was the people of Liangjia Village who drove them out of the village with brooms and carrying poles. At that time, the people of Linjia Village said that Shushu did not have the blood of the Lin family and was not a member of the old Lin family. They asked her not to step into Linjia Village from now on... I think they are not happy to see Shushu. We will wait for you at the entrance of the village, and then go to visit the graves of grandpa and grandma."

Lin Zhaotong:...

Li Huiru smiled and said: "Then let's go to the graves directly."

After that, she said to the elder Lin who rushed out of the village after hearing the news: "Second brother, time is tight today, we will not enter the village, you go back and tell your parents."

No matter how the elder Lin persuaded them, they did not enter the village again.

After visiting the grave, the third uncle, the third old lady and other family members came to invite and persuade again. For some reason, a commune leader who came over had a look and said that the commune had something to report to Secretary Lin and the schedule was tight, so he took the people away.

When leaving, Zhenzhen took a car with her grandparents and uncle.

Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi took a tricycle to the commune with the commune leaders.

In the car, Fengfeng asked his father, "Dad, can I go to my brother-in-law's house with my sister and others to stay for a few days? My brother-in-law will go to Nanzhou in a few days. I don't know when I will see him next time. I want to stay with him for a few more days."

Before Lin Zhaotong spoke, Zhenzhen said, "Uncle, you want to go to the mountains with Shitou and Zhuzi brothers, right? My dad only wants to accompany my mother. He even dislikes me, so he doesn't want to live with you."

Fengfeng:...

You stinky boy, are you so good at spoiling things?

Fengfeng gritted his teeth, but could only secretly annoy himself for not arguing with his nephew and bribing him first.

He coughed lightly and said, "You are still young, there are some things you don't understand."

"What is there to not understand?"

Zhenzhen glanced at his uncle and disagreed, "If you want to play, just play. My mother told me. If you want to play, just tell her directly. It's a good thing that I have fun, but you have to say it directly if there is anything. Don't lie. If you want to play, just play. Why make excuses and say I don't understand?"

Fengfeng: ...

Li Huiru couldn't help laughing at her son's frustrated expression.

Over there, Lin Zhaotong listened to the conversation between his son and grandson, but turned back to look out the window.

Linjia Village in the distance was getting smaller and smaller.

He sighed in his heart again, yes, how important family style is.

His son may not set foot in Linjia Village again in his lifetime.

But it was only a county away. Every summer vacation, he wanted to live in the Liang family for a while and be as close to the children of the Liang family as brothers.

They only see the immediate benefits, and have always been limited to those immediate interests.

They put their minds on those.

But they don't think about it. If the children they teach are capable and have his care, how can they have no future and live a bad life?

...Of course, this is also his fault. He didn't see clearly and wasted his time.

Even his own two children were taught by his wife.
