Money is the courage of a hero, clothes are the hair of a saint.

Shen Guanglin never said anything about his treat. He couldn't stand up because he really didn't have any money, at least not enough money to spend.

Of course Li Rong knew that Shen Guanglin had no money, so it was natural for her to arrange the dinner.

Since he was thick-skinned anyway, Shen Guanglin didn't ask where he was going to eat, and just followed Li Rong into the car.

Li Rong drives and Shen Guanglin sings.

"When you drive your beloved motorcycle, there will never be a traffic jam in Beijing..."

The young lady drove the motorcycle at such a fast speed that Shen Guanglin was afraid that it would suddenly overturn. However, the young lady's driving skills were pretty good and the car drove fast and steadily.

Their destination was a compound, and there were guards guarding the gate, but when they saw that Li Rong was driving, they let them through without asking.

The three-wheeler wandered around the courtyard for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a small building.

This is a two-story building. In front of the building is a fenced yard. Several plots of land have been developed. They should be vegetable fields, maybe for warmth. Some plots are also covered with wheat straw. I don’t know what to plant underneath. What is it? I think it must be leeks or something.

The young lady parked the car in a familiar manner, and without even greeting Shen Guanglin, she walked up and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged aunt.

"Aunt Hua, we haven't had lunch yet. Hurry up and prepare some food. We're starving to death."

At first, Shen Guanglin thought this was Li Rong's mother, but she didn't look like her in temperament. It wasn't until she said "Aunt Hua" that she realized she was probably a nanny. In this day and age, there are nannies in the house. It's really not an ordinary family.

Shen Guanglin politely came forward and said hello: "Hello, Aunt Hua."

"How about you, young man."

When you enter the door, the first thing you see is the TV cabinet. Inside is a TV with a wooden casing and a small screen. There are no programs playing. I don't know whether it is black and white or color.

The furniture in the living room is nice, antique and of high quality.

In front of the TV cabinet is a coffee table, and further forward is a wooden sofa with three seats and two single seats. A middle-aged man in military uniform is sitting on the single seat at the end of the coffee table, sitting upright and seeming to be reading a newspaper.

"Old Li, you are reading the newspaper. Why are you so leisurely today?" Li Rong spoke to the middle-aged uncle.

"Don't spend all your time living without a child. How will you get married in the future? I really don't know which young man would be unlucky enough to marry you." Hearing the noise, a woman who still had charm walked out of the room and happened to see her. Shen Guanglin came in behind Li Rong.

"Who is this? Lao Li, you are still reading the newspaper, we have a visitor!" I don't know whether the tone was surprise or something else, but it was full of emotions anyway.

"What, are there guests?" Lao Li originally didn't want to pay attention to Li Rong, but now he had to put down the newspaper. Sure enough, he also saw Shen Guanglin standing at the door.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting." As a son of a wealthy family, Shen Guanglin is not lacking in courtesy.

Although the living conditions of the Li family were luxuriant in this era, from the perspective of future generations, they were only average.

Shen Guanglin behaved very calmly and generously, without any awkwardness at all.

The middle-aged man has a resolute face, does not smile, and looks quite majestic. The middle-aged aunt is a mature lady. Although her dress is a bit outdated and she has an outdated perm, she has a pretty face. At first glance, she is a beauty.

Shen Guanglin didn't know that the aunt's dress was the most fashionable in this era.

"Welcome, welcome! What's your last name, young man? He's so handsome. Who are you and Rongrong?"

The middle-aged aunt looked at Shen Guanglin almost like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law. This young man looked too upright. Will he be a philanderer in the future?

But what is that on the ear?

What else could it be, an earring hole?

As a young person in the new era, it is normal to have earring holes in your ears.

Feeling his aunt's eyes examining his ears, Shen Guanglin felt the need to forcefully explain:

"Auntie, this was given to me by my family when I was a child. I was not in good health at that time, so they put an earring in my left ear, which is a homophone for "pendant", which means they hope that I will grow up healthily."

Folk customs, okay, it can be explained.

Don't be too harsh on good-looking people.

In particular, it is rare to see men wearing earrings in this era, and even the hooligans have not started to develop in this direction. This style of Shen Guanglin has successfully passed the test.

"Mom, what are you doing? This is Shen Guanglin, my comrade..., we have no place to eat today, so we just came here to have a light meal. There is no other meaning. Don't think too much."

Li Rong originally wanted to say that this belonged to my colleague, but then she thought that Shen Guanglin was not a person now, and it was really hard to introduce who he was.

"Xiao Shen, sit down, sit down, come, drink tea, sister Hua, go and prepare the food." Auntie said and used an enamel teapot to make a large cup of tea for Shen Guanglin. It was jasmine tea, so fragrant. smell.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Shen Guanglin was indeed thirsty. He took the tea cup and warmed his hands while sipping the tea, not forgetting to look at the middle-aged uncle sitting next to him.

"Hello, uncle!"

"How about you, young man!" The middle-aged uncle Lao Li's attitude was obviously not friendly, but he didn't give him a cold face.

The most enthusiastic one is Li Rong's mother. The aunt always has endless things to say: "Xiao Shen, which unit do you work in? How did you meet Rongrong? How old are you this year?"

As the aunt said this, she took the opportunity to sit next to Shen Guanglin. Is she preparing to check her household registration and prepare for a blind date?

Auntie spoke so fast that Miss Li Rong didn't even have the chance to answer.

However, it seemed that she had no intention of answering, as she was preparing to leave this problem to Shen Guanglin alone.

After all, she and Shen Guanglin were not very familiar yet, and she didn't know how to answer some words.

Shen Guanglin thought for a while, organized the words in his mind, and then said:

"Hello, auntie, my name is Shen Guanglin. I am 24 years old this year. I have just returned to China and I don't have a job yet. Because I need to do some political review before joining the bureau, I met Ms. Rongrong... Comrade Li. "

If it's different, it's really different if you put it another way.

Shen Guanglin was obviously arrested by Li Rong as a spy, but now it seems that he took the initiative to come to the capital to go to the Public Security Bureau for political review.

Hearing that Shen Guanglin was abroad, Comrade Li suddenly became interested.

"Go back to China, have you gone abroad? What did you do, work or study?" Comrade Lao Li really lacks language skills and is not as proficient in the essence of dealing with others as Auntie.

Shen Guanglin first nodded to his uncle and then said: "I was studying abroad before. I just returned to China some time ago and I was thinking about whether I could make some contribution to the country's construction."

Shen Guanglin is leading himself in a higher and higher direction. He can speak such politically correct words effortlessly.

"Are you studying in RB? There are indeed many international students who have returned from RB in recent years. At that time, they all went to study in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Times are changing so fast. In ten years, they were in Hedong and in ten years in Hexi."

When the subject of studying abroad came up, Lao Li's chatter started. It seemed that he had had such an experience, but I didn't know where he had studied abroad.

"Uncle, you also studied abroad when you were young. Which country was it in?"

"In the Democratic Republic of Germany, luckily we didn't go to the Soviet Union at that time. Several of my classmates were sent to the Soviet Union. They didn't develop very well after they came back. Times make heroes. Young man, let's talk about your situation."

Lao Li wanted to talk about this topic but felt it was not appropriate to talk about it. After all, the general environment was also very relevant.

"I did not study in Fusang. I studied in Citi. I have been to Fusang, but it has been many years and I am not impressed." Shen Guanglin visited RB several times during his travels. The local The hot springs are nice, the ladies are docile, and we have formed some deep international friendships.

"Our country and the United States only established diplomatic relations last year, and you're going to study abroad now? You were sent by the government to exchange and study, right? Why did you come back after only one year? You won't learn anything. It's a pity, it's a pity, You should study for a while."

Nowadays, traveling to and from Citi is not cheap. If you return home after completing your studies, you will be laughed at by others if you return home if you do not.

Shen Guanglin didn't know how to answer this. He had indeed not graduated from graduate school, and if he went to Citigroup to verify it now, he didn't even have a student status. However, he decided to "tell the truth":

"Uncle Li, it's true that I haven't finished my studies yet, but I really missed home so much that I overcame the difficulties and came back."

"You still have to overcome difficulties? You are confused! You are completely confused! The country has worked so hard to take the money out for you to have fun. Learn more knowledge and come back. The Huns are not exterminated, so why do you have a family?"

Lao Li also has a bad temper, and he looks exactly like the young lady, making him worthy of being a father and daughter.

But Lao Li did make a misunderstanding.

"Dad, it's not what you think. Brother Shen has been studying in the United States for many years. He didn't just study for one year. He studied there for his undergraduate degree, but he hasn't finished his graduate school yet. And he didn't spend any time. The country’s money is used to study at one’s own expense.”

At this time, Li Rong had to explain to Shen Guanglin, otherwise the misunderstanding would not be solved.

As expected, Lao Li's tone softened, "Are you an overseas Chinese?"

Wherever I am born, I am an upright Chinese!"

"Well said!" Lao Li gave a thumbs up.

Shen Guanglin then explained why he studied in the United States: his father passed away, his mother was missing, and he completed his studies with the help of a trust fund.

Shen Guanglin was about to tell the story about his "father" Shen Longxian again, but as soon as he started, he was stopped by Miss Li Rong:

"Brother Shen... Guanglin, this matter is confidential and not suitable to be discussed here." The young lady's expression was very serious, and she seemed to have the attitude of annihilating relatives for justice.

Okay, confidential, good reason.

Shen Guanglin originally wanted to show off his feelings of selling and selling again.

Being born in such a family, Lao Li and his aunt were both very conscious, and expressed their understanding. Then they asked Shen Guanglin about his personal situation. Regardless of who his parents were, you could always ask about other things.

Is this also classified?

Shen Guanglin didn't care whether it was classified or not, he still answered according to his own ideas.

"My father passed away very early, and I don't know if my mother is still alive..."

The whereabouts of "mother" are indeed difficult to arrange in this lie, but it cannot be said that she died with the grandfather. What if she is still alive and becomes a gang member in the future?

Shen Guanglin suddenly had a new idea:

One day in the future, if his uncle really appears, then he can be said to be his half-brother.

There must be nothing wrong with the appearance. After all, we are all a family. This matter can only be blamed on Mr. Shen for being too carefree.
To be continued...
