The dinner was held in the central courtyard of the Sihe Courtyard, and a log table filled the Lin family and the staff.

Lin Hongde sat in the upper seat, and Yao Ze was pulled by him to sit down. Lin Beilei followed Yao Ze to Yao Ze and squeezed at Yao Ze with a smile. Because there were too many people present, he had to maintain his image. Yao Ze directly ignored Lin Beilei's small movements. On the other side of Lin Hongde were the second uncle and third uncle sitting, two elders. Once they went on, they were Lin Wanshan and some side juniors.

"Today is a happy day." Lin Hongde picked up the cup and laughed. Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses with the old man.

Lin Hongde glanced at Yao Ze and said gently: "I really didn't expect that I could still see my own grandson in my lifetime. This life is enough. I'm asking everyone to come here today to recognize my face." He pointed to Yao Ze and said: "He, Yao Ze is my grandson of Lin Hongde. Now he has entered the officialdom. I hope everyone here can help more in the future. I am just such a grandson. No matter under any circumstances, I don't want him to suffer. I can still protect him when I am here, but I am gone? Then I have to rely on you to support me. Do you understand what I say?"

Those who can come to Lin Hongde are definitely officials at the vice-ministerial level or above. Except for some women and children, everyone said that after hearing Lin Hongde's words, Lin Hongde nodded with satisfaction, then raised his cup and said, "Come on, let's have this cup together."

After drinking wine, Lin Hongde looked at the two people on the left and said, "Second, third, Ozawa will have to rely on you to take care of him in the future. He is still young and does not think carefully. When I am gone, you must help me watch him all the time."

"How can you be away? Hongde, you are so healthy, why bother to say something discouraged?" The second uncle Chen Guangyu looked at Lin Hongde with concern and said with a worried look.

Lin Hongde sighed and smiled bitterly: "You are old, maybe you will leave one day. I have to explain the matter clearly before leaving. Now I don't explain when I suddenly leave one day, and I don't even have the opportunity to explain."

Yao Ze, who was sitting aside, felt a little sad when he heard Lin Hongde's words. He held Lin Hongde's somewhat shriveled hand from under the table and said, "Grandpa, you will definitely be able to live a hundred years old." As he said that, he tightened Lin Hongde's hand.

Lin Hongde smiled happily and nodded, "Oze, I want to live a hundred years old too. I really want to watch your wings slowly plump and then reach the top of power. Even if you go down, you will be smiling. Our grandfather and grandson have just met, so I can't bear to leave early."

Yao Ze smiled, only to feel his eyes were a little rosy.

Lin Wanshan on the other side whispered, "Dad, look at the happy day today, let's change to other topics."

Lin Hongde smiled and nodded and said, "I won't say it anymore, I'll eat food for everyone."

"Hey, Yao Ze." Lin Beilei gently kicked Yao Ze's calf under the table with her toes.

Yao Ze turned his head and looked at Lin Beilei and asked in a low voice: "What?"

Lin Beilei said with a grievance: "Your appearance has caused grandpa and dad to neglect me."

Yao Ze smiled gently and said, "No, you will be my sister in the future, and I will treat you well."

"I don't care about you." Lin Beilei glanced at Yao Ze, but her face was full of smiles, but it seemed that when she thought of something, her smile disappeared instantly.

Yao Ze saw Lin Beilei's expression in his eyes and asked in a low voice: "What, are you worried about?"

Lin Beilei glanced at Yao Ze and nodded slightly. She really had no friends to complain, so she said to Yao Ze: "Talk with me later."

Yao Ze nodded and smiled and said, "Okay."

Next was Yao Ze's toast. After a round of rounds, he drank about half a pound of white wine. In Yao Ze's atmosphere, he toasted Lin Hongde with a glass of wine. Yao Ze's task was completed.

After dinner, everyone greeted Lin Hongde and Yao Ze and left one after another. Before leaving, they encouraged Yao Ze again.

Only Lin Hongde, Lin Wanshan, Yao Ze, Lin Beilei were left in the courtyard. Lin Hongde looked at Yao Ze for a few times and said in a heavy tone: "Xiaoze, go to the house to bring incense sticks to your father. After so many years, he has to let him see what you look like."

After hearing Lin Hongde's words, Yao Ze nodded slightly, and his expression became a little sad.

Walking into Lin Hongde's room alone, there were photos of Yao Ze's father on the desk. When he was young, he did look a little similar to Yao Ze, with clear outlines and heroic eyebrows.

Yao Ze picked up three incense sticks from the desk and lit them, then bowed to the photo, and whispered to the photo: "Dad, Yao Ze is here to see you. My son is living a good life now. If you have a spirit in heaven, rest in peace. If there is an afterlife, I will be your son and will definitely serve you..."

...

The stars are like this at night.

Yao Ze and Lin Beilei strolled on the streets of Yanjing.

Seeing that Yao Ze was calm and seemed to have no emotions, he spoke out and asked tentatively: "I'm in a bad mood?"

Yao Ze lit a cigarette and took a sip, nodded slightly and said, "Something."

Lin Beilei said: "Because of your father?"

Yao Zeen said.

Lin Beilei sighed and said, "You are fine, at least you know who your father is. What about me, I don't even know who my father is."

Yao Ze looked at Lin Beilei and whispered: "Lin Wanshan is your father. Is he not as good as your father?"

"No, he is ten thousand times better than my biological father, but I am unwilling to accept it. Why should my biological father throw me away?" Lin Beilei's face looked sad.

Yao Ze sighed and said, "Why do you have to think so much about life? Isn't it better for you to follow your second uncle now?"

Lin Beilei nodded, and her emotions became lost with Yao Ze.

Yao Ze said with a wry smile: "Be happy."

Lin Beilei squeezed out a smile.

Yao Ze asked, "By the way, didn't you want to tell me your worries when you were having a meal? What's the worries?"

Lin Beilei looked at Yao Ze and asked, "Yao Ze, have you ever been in love?"

Yao Ze was slightly stunned and nodded, "It's considered a matter of fact."

Lin Beilei asked, "Is it painful?"

Yao Ze stopped and said, "It's very painful, my heart is like a knife."

Lin Beilei stopped and said, "I feel that way now."

Yao Ze said in surprise: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Beilei nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know where he went. I just told me that he was on a business trip, and then I never saw him again."

Yao Ze said: "Call it."

"Can't dial." Lin Beilei said sadly, "If I guessed right, he must be avoiding me."

"How long ago?" Yao Ze asked.

Lin Beilei thought for a while and said, "It's been a few months."

"Have you come out of it in a few months?"

Lin Beilei sighed softly and said, "I am the kind of woman who is not easy to feel true love. If I move true love, it will be difficult to extricate myself. Now I feel very uncomfortable every day. I really hope that when I wake up that day, he can stand by my side, or never let me wake up. If I don't wake up, I won't be disappointed and my heart will not hurt."

Yao Ze lit a cigarette again and took a sip. Lin Beilei snatched the cigarette from Yao Ze's hand, then put it in her mouth and took a sip. She choked and coughed repeatedly, and tears flowed.

"Why do you have to?" There are many men in the world.

Lin Beilei squatted by the roadside, covered her face and started crying, "I want him, I just want him!"

"Why do you think about him like this kind of irresponsible man? Forget her, maybe you can meet someone better." Yao Ze squatted down and comforted Lin Beilei's ear softly.

Lin Beilei shook her nose and whimpered: "Give me a piece of paper."

Yao Ze smiled bitterly and put his pocket on his face, took out a handkerchief, and said, "Then go."

Lin Beilei wiped her tears with a handkerchief, then wiped her nose and handed her back to Yao Ze. Yao Ze waved his hand in anger and said, "I don't want it anymore, I'll give it to you."

Lin Beilei stood up and said in a sweet voice: "Do you dislike me?"

Yao Ze said with a wry smile: "Miss, you have wiped your nose, how can you use it for me?"

After hearing Yao Ze's words, Lin Beilei burst out laughing. She was just crying and laughing again. She felt very embarrassed. She glared at Yao Ze and said, "I'll give it to you after I wash it."

Yao Ze nodded with a smile, and then said, "Go back, I'll give you it."

Lin Beilei shook her head and said, "I don't want to go back."

Yao Ze asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Beilei thought for a moment and said slyly: "Put your ears over..."

"No, absolutely not!" Yao Ze immediately refused after hearing Lin Beilei's ghost.

Lin Beilei pouted and said, "Go, go."

"No!"

"I'm in a bad mood, can you accompany me to get crazy?" Lin Beilei's eyes turned red again, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Yao Ze was very depressed, "If you let others know that I, a department-level cadre, accompany you to do that kind of thing, you must be disgraced."

"Don't worry, no one will know, go." Lin Ruixin stomped her feet.

Yao Ze sighed and said, "This is only once."

Lin Beilei nodded happily.

Yao Ze was puzzled and asked, "Have you done this kind of thing before?"

Lin Beilei nodded and said, "He has worked with me before."

Yao Ze fell silent after hearing this, and Lin Beilei's expression became a little sad again.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you. I'll accompany you tonight." Yao Ze stood on the side of the road and waved to stop a car and rented a car, then said, "Let's go, get in the car."

Lin Beilei smiled and nodded into the car.

The two got into the car, and the taxi driver asked where to go.

Lin Beilei said in a sweet voice: "Go to the suburbs."

The driver wondered, "Where is the suburb? You have to make it clear?"

Lin Beilei frowned and said, "You are a taxi driver, so you can talk so much nonsense. If you ask you to drive, you will drive. You will naturally call you when you arrive."

The taxi driver looked at Lin Beilei from the rear car mirror depressedly, thinking to himself that this girl was beautiful but had a fierce temperament. She looked at Yao Ze again, showing a sympathetic expression.

Yao Ze saw the taxi driver's gaze and spread his hands with a smile, expressing helplessness.
