“Comrade Lin.”

Xu Nannan saw Lin Qingbai and others say a few words to each other and then came out, smiled and waved.

Lin Qingbai took off the hat from his head, revealing a refreshing head. A gentle smile was plastered on his face, “Comrade Nannan. You came back from a business trip.”

“I came back yesterday.” Xu Nannan smiled and looked at the side. “Comrade Lin, do you have time? I want to invite you to dinner later. Last time you helped me so much, and I didn’t even invite you to dinner.”

There is no friendship that cannot be established at the dinner table. If one meal doesn’t work, then two would do.

Lin Qingbai was not polite, “Okay, I will bring you to a place.”

This time he took Xu Nannan with him, but Lin Qingbai didn’t ride a bicycle. He just pushed away.

Xu Nannan looked at the Phoenix bicycle, and her eyes were a little hot. It’s not that she envy the Phoenix bicycle, but she thinks it would be great to have a bicycle, so she doesn’t have to walk to get off work. She can sleep for five more minutes every morning.

She has so many bicycles in Taobao, and she really wants one.

Lin Qingbai looked at her staring at the bicycle, thinking if she wanted to take the bike, “Do you want to take the bike? How about I take you for a ride?”

Xu Nannan shook her head.

She would rather ride a bicycle than be carried. The seat at the back was too hard and her buttocks were aching.

Lin Qingbai laughed. This little girl is pretty well-behaved and sensible. She is not the kind of casual little girl who can move her feet when she sees anything. This is very good, so as not to be deceived.

The place Lin Qingbai chose to eat was a state-owned restaurant near the Country Party Committee. The restaurant is not too big, and it can hold a few round tables. The master cooks in the window, and a chubby young waitress with an apron collects food stamps there.

Because it was close to the Public Security Bureau, as soon as they entered, he saw two comrades from the Public Security Bureau in uniforms.

Seeing Lin Qingbai bringing the little girl over, they all glanced, and they were too embarrassed to say hello.

Because of what Lin Qingbai told her before, she is now not only a little guilty towards Sun Gongan, but also a little guilty when she sees other Public Security Comrades.

When the two of them sat down, Xu Nannan deliberately looked for a direction with his back facing the police.

Lin Qingbai noticed her little action, smiled, and whispered, “Don’t worry, they don’t know a thing.”

Xu Nannan nodded.

When the chubby waitress saw Lin Qingbai coming, her eyes were bright and she ran over, “Director Lin, you haven’t been here in a few days.” She looked at Xu Nannan with a smile on her face. “This comrade is so good, I haven’t seen you before.”

Lin Qingbai looked at Xu Nannan and said, “This is my little sister, who invited me to dinner today.” He didn’t think it was a shame to be invited to dinner.

The waitress smiled and greeted Xu Nannan, “Good girl. Come over for dinner when you have time.” She lowered her head and whispered, “Come on Monday and Wednesday, we have a big sale.”

Xu Nannan nodded in surprise.

Da Bai has nothing to do with her, but for other people, the rare fine grains in Nanjiang City, even if they have food stamps, they may not be able to eat them. So when people told her this information, they regarded her as their own. She has to make people think she is happy.

She ordered a spicy cabbage, a sliced vermicelli meat, two rice, while Lin Qingbai refused to order.

Xu Nannan also knew that these years, it was not that the more orders were made, the better, but it would make people feel too wasteful, and she didn’t order any more. She only gave the food coupons proudly.

The waitress took the food stamp and twisted and said, “Minister Lin, why hasn’t your brother come over for dinner in a few days?”

When Xu Nannan glanced at her little rippling eyes, she knew what it meant.

It turns out that Comrade Lin still has a younger brother. It seems that people still have a crush on his younger brother.

She doesn’t know what his younger brother is like. So people don’t like Comrade Lin, but his younger brother.

Lin Qingbai smiled, “He went to work recently, he may be a little busy, and he has been thinking about your food for the past two days. He should come over tomorrow.”

The waitress blushed and left.

Xu Nannan waited for her to leave before asking, “Comrade Lin, why did she call you Director Lin?”

When she was in the Armed Forces Department just now, she felt that Lin Qingbai should be a simple Cadre, after all, his uniform seemed to be different from those of the soldiers just now.

Lin Qingbai said lightly, “I’m in charge of the Armed Forces Department, it’s just the title of the post.”

“Are you the Minister of the Armed Forces?” Xu Nannan was taken aback. This officer should be very big, at any rate, it is equivalent to the post of the Chief of the Police Station. Oh my God, she actually became friends with a Cadre of this level. People wouldn’t think she wanted to hug his thighs.

Xu Nannan suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Xu Nannan’s face twitching, Lin Qingbai frowned and said, “Comrade Nannan, we are not in the past. Everyone is equal in this society. Is there a difference between whether I am a cadre or a soldier? The responsibilities are the same. I exist to protect the common people. Your mental awareness has improved.”

After Lin Qingbai’s righteous preaching, Xu Nannan was also a little vacant, feeling that her thoughts were undesirable and too bureaucratic. Regardless of whether it is a cadre or a soldier, aren’t they all their benefactors? Look at this awareness of others, whether she thinks it is still too low. She looked sorry and said, “Comrade Lin, it’s me who wants to make a difference.”

Lin Qingbai smiled satisfied, “It’s better to get along.”

Xu Nannan couldn’t ask for it. She didn’t want people to think she’s running after him.

Although she also wanted to associate with Lin Qingbai before, it was also on an equal basis, to be friends or something.

Just like the friends she had known in the past life, the contacts she made were of the same level, so it was natural to get along with each other, and there was no need to fawn on each other. Although she is not good at it, she is at ease in her heart anyway. People live, don’t they just ask for comfort?

Soon, the food came up.

There was also a small plate of sour radish. Xu Nannan found that there were none on the other tables. They had them, obviously they were given to them.

Xu Nannan gave the waitress a thankful smile. And the waitress responded with a shy smile.

Seeing the two of them frowning, Lin Qingbai almost couldn’t hold his chopsticks firmly. Thinking funny, it seemed that this little girl would be very easy as long as she wanted to get along well with someone. If you don’t speak, one look is done.

The two were eating, and two more police officers came in, Wu Gongan and Sun Gongan.

Xu Nannan didn’t see the two come in, she only heard the voice of Sun Gongan ordering food. Suddenly her back felt a little numb. She felt uncomfortable thinking about Sun Gongan now. She doesn’t know why.

Lin Qingbai pursed his lips and delivered the dishes to her, “Eat more.”

Xu Nannan hurriedly picked up the dishes. Then she immersed herself in the meal and didn’t even dare to talk to Lin Qingbai any more, worried that she would be heard by Sun Gongan.

Over there, Wu Gongan and Sun Gongan also sat down. Wu Gongan also saw Lin Qingbai eating there with a little girl, so he was not ashamed to go over and disturb others.

Wu Gongan glanced secretly, only to see Xu Nannan’s back, “That girl won’t be Minister Lin’s partner, right? It hasn’t been long since he came.”

Sun Gongan was a little surprised and lacked energy. Hearing this, he didn’t care. He didn’t have any partner of his own, nobody cares about it.

He has been going to the mine these days, but the girl is on a business trip. He went there again today, and he heard that Uncle Wei said she was back. As a result, she left early.

Sun Gongan regretted that he hadn’t told others earlier that it would be difficult to see each other now.

If I said it earlier, maybe they are all related to each other now.

Wu Gongan knew his thoughts. This kid goes to the mine every day, and always mentions that it is located in the south, and everyone in the Public Security Bureau knows his thoughts.

He spoke in a low voice, “Don’t you panic, there is still not a shortage of women in this unit. As for Xiao Zhou in the archives room, don’t people come to you often? I think it’s pretty good.”

The key is a unit, after marriage, it is easy to divide the marriage house. Wu Gongan felt that he had to give some pointers to this young man.

Sun Gongan frowned and said, “I have nothing to do with her.” The little girl is even bigger than him…

“Then there are other comrades, you should also take a closer look. There are some close ones. There is no need to find a distant one.”

“You don’t understand.” Sun Gongan felt that Wu Gongan couldn’t understand his feelings. Comrade Yu Nannan is very attractive, and there are two small dimples with her smile, and her eyes are like talking.

At this time, Comrade Nannan, who can speak with her eyes, was eating a big mouthful, ready to leave this place of right and wrong early.

Lin Qingbai saw her thoughts. He was eating with a smile on his face, and didn’t talk to her.

Soon the food on the table was clean. Xu Nannan touched her big stomach, it seemed that she had eaten most of it. This treat is really a bit unreasonable. She smiled slyly.

Lin Qingbai said, “Are you full?”

Xu Nannan nodded. Thinking that she has eaten so much, she started panicking.

“Let’s go then.” Lin Qingbai stood up.

Xu Nannan also quickly stood up with her bag on her back. She deliberately walked behind Lin Qingbai, and wanted Lin Qingbai to cover her.

Lin Qingbai followed, but the lobby of this hotel is really not that big. When Wu Gongan saw Lin Qingbai was about to leave, he waved and said hello, “Director Lin, we’re just about to eat.”

Sun Gongan also looked up and was about to say hello to Lin Qingbai. He was stunned when he saw the half figure next to him.

Lin Qingbai squinted at him, then smiled and said, “I’m about to leave.”

Feeling that the corner of his clothes was pulled, Lin Qingbai coughed, “We’ll go first.”

When the two left, Sun Gongan didn’t react.

Is that Comrade Yu Nannan just now? Why is she eating with Minister Lin?

When he got outside, Lin Qingbai smiled and looked at the corner of his clothes being pulled by the girl.

Xu Nannan didn’t notice the look in his eyes, and naturally let go of the corners of his clothes, and whispered, “He waits for me every day, and I deliberately left early today. I didn’t expect to see him again.” It was a bit embarrassing.

Lin Qingbai felt that he seemed to have done it a bit too far, and it was not the case to make this little girl so scared. She can’t even look at the Police anymore, just like a mouse meets a cat.

It’s not good to be so courageous. You still have to be as tough as when you first saw it, so that you can’t be bullied.

He said, “In fact, even if you see him, it doesn’t matter. The case is almost resolved now. I will tell them not to pester you anymore. This matter should be fine. Not all Police are like that. Don’t worry about it later.”

“Can you go? Will it offend people?” Xu Nannan worried. The so-called not in its place and not seeking its own Government. She still understands the truth. The Armed Forces’ intervention in the Public Security Bureau will make people think that he is taking bribes or something. Isn’t it all written like this in the novel?

Lin Qingbai smiled, “Why? I live on the first floor with their Director Gao and have a good relationship.”

Xu Nannan knows that this is the so-called “walking relationship”, and he has gone through the back door.

Regardless of the door, it is the best way to solve this problem. She really didn’t want to have someone next to her every day when she got off work, and she felt really bad. Moreover, even Uncle Wei felt that she and Sun Gongan were dealing with each other. After a long time, it is inevitable that others would not think so. Regardless of whether it is now or in the future, this kind of misunderstanding can have a bad effect.

“Then, Comrade Lin, I’m going to trouble you again about this matter.” This is just a meal, and now, she owe him a favor again.

Suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up and she took out a box from her bag. She passed it to Lin Qingbai.

“I bought it when I went to Shanghai on a business trip. I heard people say it’s easy to use.”

Lin Qingbai took it and took it apart. Inside was a lacquered black pen, “It looks very nice, thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me, as long as you like it, you helped me so much before.” Xu Nannan waved her hand again and again.

Lin Qingbai smiled, “I like it very much.” He looked at the sky again, “It’s getting late, I’ll send you back.”

He got on the bicycle and looked at Xu Nannan sideways, “Get in the car, I’ll take you.” This little girl wanted to take the car just now. Anyway, he’ll let her have her wish once.

Xu Nannan looked at the hard back seat, touched her thin overalls, gritted her teeth, and decided not to waste other people’s kindness. She pushed up numbly and sat down.

“Sit down,” Lin Qingbai kicked and the car moved quickly.

Xu Nannan was taken aback and grabbed Lin Qingbai’s clothes fiercely.

Fortunately, the speed slowed down quickly.

At this time, the road in the City was not a concrete road, not even an asphalt road, but a Bluestone road with water. These Bluestone roads are old, and many places have been pitted. The advantage of this kind of road is that it is not a muddy road on rainy days, but it is also bumpy all day long and the bike is on it and it is very bumpy.

After bumping all the way to the vicinity of Xu Nannan’s home, Lin Qingbai stopped the bike.

Xu Nannan got out of the bike and felt that she was going to fall. There was pain on her buttocks. She smiled and said, “Comrade Lin, thank you for sending me back. It’s not too late, so go back and rest quickly.”

“It’s okay, you go back first.” Lin Qingbai pursed his lips and smiled.

Xu Nannan walked home with her bag on her back. She walked a few steps and looked back. Seeing that Li Qingbai hadn’t left yet, she waved again.

Lin Qingbai kept watching her move forward until she entered the house. Thinking of her walking movement, he looked back at the back seat of his bike.

When Xu Nannan entered the room, Grandma Yu heard the movement coming out of the room.

Because she knew that Xu Nannan was going to have dinner with his colleagues today and was not eating at home, the family had dinner early and was about to rest.

“You’re back, have you eaten enough tonight? There is still millet cakes in the pot.” Grandma Yu said.

When Xu Nannan saw grandma coming out in her clothes, her nose was sore, “Grandma, you can rest early, I can take care of myself. I’m an adult.”

“What adults? You are not even 18 years old yet, not too old.” Grandma Yu disagreed. She feels that if Nannan is in a good house and her parents didn’t hurt her, she might still be in school this time. She has such a high grade, even if she takes a college entrance examination, her score is always high. After coming out, they will be state cadres. There is no need to go to the Mine to work so early, and travel all day long.

“I see, I’m eighty years old, and I think I’m still young.” Xu Nannan argued with a smile, and didn’t rush into the house, so she went to the kitchen to get hot water and soak her feet in the yard.

Grandma Yu didn’t go into the house, she sat on the low stool next to her and asked, “Are you with a man or a woman for dinner?”

“…Woman.” Comrade Lin, sorry.

Grandma Yu was a little bit disappointed when she heard it, “Well, don’t just associate with women. Now the society is not the same as before, don’t pay attention to those. Also talk to men more.”

Xu Nannan couldn’t hear her thoughts. Like those mothers who like to worry about their daughters not getting married, the old lady is worried about her granddaughter not getting married.

The question is, isn’t it too early to start worrying at the age of seventeen?

Well, the age of marriage is eighteen, and the age of seventeen… seems not too early.

On the other side, Lin Qingbai returned to the Country Party Committee Compound, put the car in the yard, and went to the Public Security Bureau. Sun Gongan is still on duty.

This young man is an activist, and he takes the initiative to work until ten o’clock in the evening every day.

At this moment he was lying on his desk, unconscious.

Lin Qingbai came in and knocked on his table, only then did Sun Gongan react.

Seeing Lin Qingbai, his face suddenly blushed. Just now he was thinking about whether to ask Minister Lin. Maybe he didn’t take her out on a date, maybe it was someone he knew. Now it’s not like the past, and it’s okay for men and women to have a meal. And he also asked the restaurant Oda. Oda said that when Minister Lin introduced him, he said it was his little sister.

He pondered a lot of words in his heart, but when he saw Lin Qingbai, he didn’t dare to ask a word. Standing up and squatting, he greeted, “Director Lin, you are here.”

Lin Qingbai sat down opposite him, “It’s okay to come out and see you sitting here, i just came in to talk anyway.”

Sun Gongan urged, “I’ll pour water for Minister Lin.”

“No, I’ll just sit down and leave.” Lin Qingbai smiled gently. Sun Gongan had to sit down dry.

“Little Sun, I heard Lao Gao say that you and City Chief Sun are relatives?”

“Major Sun is my cousin.” Sun Gongan said. At first his father came out of his hometown with Mayor Sun, but later his father was gone, and Mayor Sun has been taking good care of their home all these years. The Country Party Committee Compound knows about this, and it is not impossible to speak of it.

Lin Qingbai sighed, “I also heard about you. It is not easy for your mother to raise you and your sister, and it is very admirable. You are also very active now, and you will definitely be a good seedling in the future.”

Sun Gongan sighed as he listened. Over the years, it’s been so hard.

Lin Qingbai asked, “I heard that you missed school back then, but your mother was reluctant to leave Nanjiang, so she didn’t agree?”

“It’s not easy for my mother…” In fact, it was his cousin who wanted him to study at the beginning, and he felt that he was promising. But his mother thinks it’s a waste of time, it’s better to come out earlier, anyway, there is something to do with the family.

Lin Qingbai nodded, “It’s not easy.” He asked casually, “I heard that you didn’t want to be a police officer at first, but wanted to join the army, but later your mother refused, so you stayed as a police officer?”

“I am the only son in our family, and my mother is a little bit reluctant.” Sun Gongan said. At the beginning, he was really uncomfortable for this matter. But it was his mother’s decision, so he could only follow it.

“It doesn’t matter if you are a soldier or a Public Security Officer, it’s actually the same.” Lin Qingbai smiled and tapped his fingers on the table. “As long as you find the way you want to go, it will be the same. Humans, what I fear most is that they don’t have their own ideas. You are very good now and very active. Knowing that you want to move forward, you will be a good seed in the future.”

Sun Gongan was a little embarrassed, “This is all I should do.”

Looking at him like this, Lin Qingbai shook his head slightly, “You are now a good seed when you are positive, so don’t be distracted from thinking about other things. I heard that you often go to the mine recently, which has a very bad influence. In the future, don’t go there.”

Sun Gongan was taken aback, “I, I just go to protect…”

Lin Qingbai frowned and said with a serious face, “There is a City Armed Forces Department, and there will be no chaos in Nanjiang City. The previous Dong Wu, his usual style is not good, he is just an example of what happened to him. Besides, there are so many women, and you just protect Comrade Nannan alone, does it make sense?”

Sun Gongan lowered his head. “I know, I won’t go to the mine anymore.”

When the matter was over, Lin Qingbai stood up and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Sun Gongan also stood up, but his face was full of embarrassment.

Lin Qingbai assumed that he hadn’t seen it, and prepared to leave with his hands behind his back. “Minister Lin.” Sun Gongan called out suddenly.

Lin Qingbai looked back at him.

Sun Gongan blushed, and plucked up the courage to ask, “Minister Lin, are you and Comrade Yu Nannan in a relationship?”

“Comrades and women can have other relationships besides that romantic one. I think Comrade Yu Nannan is quite simple, like a little sister, don’t you think? After all, she is still a teenager. A child, there’s no need to always think about other things. Sun, your thoughts should be simple.”

Out of the door of the Public Security Bureau, there was a small cry behind him.

Lin Qingbai shook his head with his back on the door.

This man is really not suitable for that little girl. No opinion, no EQ, and IQ is not high. Looking at it now, the ability to bear it in my heart is not good.

Not suitable, really not suitable.

Then Nannan is only a teenager. It is early, so she doesn’t have to rush to find someone and pick her slowly.

When he returned to the dormitory of the Country Party Committee, Lin Qingbai was in a good mood. Seeing the mess at home, he didn’t lose his temper and tidied up quietly.

Lin Qingsong was combing his hair again, and when he saw Lin Qingbai packing things, he trembled, worried that his brother would lose his temper. In the end, his brother didn’t say a word.

The house was not big, so it was cleaned up quickly.

Seeing that Lin Qingbai asked Uncle Kang to turn on the lamp, Lin Qingsong whispered, “Brother, how are you in the Armed Forces Department recently?”

Lin Qingbai stared at the book, “Very good.”

“Oh, it’s no wonder that Liu Hongjun mentioned our family’s affairs. This is to provoke us and let me cause you trouble. This grandson doesn’t know where he heard about our family’s affairs.”

Lin Qingbai looked at him now, “What do we have to say?”

“It’s not that we were not born to the same mother… ahem, that we were not born with one heart.”

Lin Qingbai smiled and continued reading.

“Brother, I don’t believe it. I just think you should be careful with his father. They even went to inquire about our family’s affairs specifically, indicating that they are really concerned, and I am worried that they will harm you. But that kid is really stupid. He thought that using this thing could provoke us, but I didn’t know it and also reminded me. The son is so stupid, and his father is not very clever in his estimation.”

“He just reminded you of this matter. You should go back soon. Auntie called and wanted you to go back soon. Otherwise, she will come and find you.”

“Why are you looking out for me? I haven’t seen you care about me much before.” Lin Qingsong said unwillingly.

The old man had been staring at him before, and her mother had never cared about him.

“I won’t go back. I have to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow. I also have a decent job.” After finishing speaking, he ran to sleep on the single bed in the outside room.

Lin Qingbai glanced at him, then continued reading.

In another room of the Country Party Committee Compound, Liu Jianjun was teaching his son.

He took the feather duster while he smoked cigarette. Liu Hongjun was being beaten up and he yelled.

Mother Liu stopped in distress, “You are going to kill him.”

“It’s good to be killed. I have two sons, anyway!” Liu Jianjun exclaimed. This eldest son didn’t do good things all day, he let him go to school, but he skips school all day, and now he still went with Lin Qingbai’s younger brother.

Being an elder brother is so heart-warming, can it be easy to be a younger brother? There are no more bones and scum that his son has to eat.

No, he will show off with him when he comes back at night, saying that it has provoked the relationship between brothers. When the time comes, let the younger brother of the family help him deal with his brother, and it will not take long before Lin Qingbai leave Nanjiang City.

This idiot is mad at me.

Liu Jianjun wanted to kick him up. He wanted to yell a few words, but couldn’t speak loudly. He was worried about being heard, so he could only lower his voice and say, “I’m just looking for someone to inquire about other people’s home affairs. What are you talking about when you go out? People thought I had any thoughts. You still think your life is not uncomfortable enough, right?”

Mother Liu also whispered to her son, “Minister Lin is very nice. When the house was divided, the two small rooms were given to our family. He would live in a small apartment himself. Don’t think about harming others in the future.”

“Isn’t it all for my family?” Liu Hongjun felt extremely uncomfortable. He still blames him so much for his family. It’s not as good as Lin Qingsong’s treatment to him. It’s delicious all day long, and he never said he was bad. If it wasn’t for his father’s early conversion, he wouldn’t have to use his conscience to calculate Lin Qingsong.

For this matter, he recently didn’t even have time to take care this Xu Hong girl.

“Anyway, you are not allowed to skip class in the future, or I will break your legs!” Liu Jianjun angrily said.

The next day, Xu Hong was happy to find that Liu Hongjun had come to school.
