Chapter 1127 Chance Encounter
January 1th is New Year’s Eve, and it has been 28 days since the last time I drank at Xu Tian’s house.

There is still the last part of the army in the city, and they are gradually withdrawing today and are undergoing reorganization outside the city.

Those restless people, such as those lurking in the Secret Service, took the opportunity to spread the weapons in the arsenal everywhere, resulting in a lot of weapons and equipment appearing on the roadside every morning.

Many people picked up whole boxes of weapons and ammunition, and even Jia Xiaoduo picked up a few grenades at the entrance of the alley.

No one is in charge now. After all, most of the government offices in the capital are paralyzed, and the patrolmen on the streets are too lazy to go out to manage the streets. They are all hiding at home waiting for the army to enter the city.

Fortunately, the common people are quite knowledgeable about the rules and know that taking these things back will cause trouble.

But there are always people who cannot see the situation clearly, such as gangs, alley urchins, and people with ulterior motives, who pick up a lot of weapons and equipment and take them home.

······
In the morning, Lin Hao went out to find out the situation on the street and went to the market to buy a lot of meat and vegetables.

Today is New Year's Eve, so we must prepare a whole table of delicious food. You have to know that in the next few years, we may have to eat a good meal on New Year's Eve in secret.

So after buying the meat, vegetables and other things, he went to buy a lot of firecrackers and fireworks.

However, when Lin Hao returned home to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, he discovered a problem.

Lin Hao has experienced so many worlds and can get used to cuisines from all over the world.

But his wives and concubines were different. Liu Rusi was okay. Although she was born in the south, she went to study abroad when she grew up, and after returning, she went to the mountain city for training.

After completing the training, she came to Beijing four or five years ago, and until now, she has been able to eat basically all kinds of food.

But Mu Chunhua and Qin Huairu are different, they are both completely northerners.

Moreover, the Central Plains region mainly grows corn and wheat, and people prefer pasta. They don't like rice, although they can eat it, but they would rather eat flour if given a choice.

Tian Dan is a thorough southerner who grew up in Shanghai. Although she went to the northwest for training, the training time was very short.

So she has a very authentic southern taste and can't get used to most of the food in Beijing, otherwise she wouldn't have been so moved by a dish of Yangzhou fried rice.

Elena is a pure Mao girl. Her living habits are very different from those in China, and her food is even more different.

Bread and meat are her favorites, so when Lin Hao cooks, he has to take everyone's taste into consideration.

At this time, Lin Hao felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have asked He Daqing to be the chef, but he would wait until there was an opportunity in the future.

Although cooking is a bit troublesome, what Lin Hao has the most is skills and time, so he personally cooked dishes from all over the world.

At this New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone tasted the specialties of various places. After all, basically all the dishes from all over the world are available here.

According to the old custom, there is a rule of staying up all night after eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Lin Hao didn't know what the rules were in other people's homes, but he just accompanied these women to play cards and mahjong.

As a result, when it was early morning, this group of women still seemed energetic, so Lin Hao directly suppressed them.

Tian Dan tactfully returned to her room, but for some reason, the voice from Lin Hao's master bedroom kept reaching her ears.

However, what she couldn't accept was that the couple in the master bedroom were still very energetic throughout the whole night.

When it was almost dawn, Tian Dan felt dizzy. His mind was full of Lin Hao, Liu Rusi, Qin Huairu, that big foreign horse, and even Mu Chunhua's voice.

These people played cards and mahjong all night long, but in the morning, they still looked energetic and in high spirits.

You are simply an animal that doesn't deserve to be called a human. Don't you know there are guests next door?

······
When it was the second year of the Chinese New Year, Lin Hao accompanied Mu Chunhua to Hufangqiao.

"Grandpa! Happy New Year!"

Lin Hao took out bags of things from his car. It was customary to visit his father-in-law's house on the second day of the New Year to wish him a happy new year.

Although I haven't seen the old man for a while, he looks in very good health now, with a rosy complexion, and it seems that he is living a comfortable life.

The main reason was that Lin Hao and his friends gave a lot of money, including several hundred silver dollars.

What's more, he is now in his twilight years and has found a widow to live with. You can't tell me how free he is now.

"Good son-in-law, you are here!" The old man now has a loud voice, but looking at the face that is exactly the same as the second uncle's bangs, Lin Hao feels very out of place.

There were quite a lot of things in the car, and it took the two of them several trips to move them all, but they were not anything particularly valuable.

Mainly food, oil, meat, and wine, and there are two large bags of flour alone.

If only two people are eating it, it can last for a long time. After all, in this era, the main point of gift giving is to give something practical.

Giving some luxury goods that cannot be eaten or used is worthless to Mr. Mu.

The old man's wife has also changed significantly since she first came to the city.

She used to be a sallow-faced woman with a thin body, but now her complexion has become rosy and she is no longer as skinny as before.

At least he has gained some weight on his face, which makes him look blessed. He is also quite polite, like someone who can live a normal life.

"Grandpa, please keep this little gift!" Lin Hao opened a small wooden box.

Inside were 5 paper tubes rolled up with red paper, each containing 100 silver dollars, for a total of silver dollars.

"Oh, my good son-in-law, you haven't spent all the money you gave me last time!" Old Master Mu's eyes widened.

This is 500 dollars. How long will it take to spend it?

"Money is meant to be earned and spent, isn't it?" Lin Hao said with a smile:

"Grandpa, this is because we have this condition. If we don't have this condition, I will have to take care of supporting my family!"

"You two old men can usually use this money to eat something good. If you really don't want to cook, you can go to a restaurant or something. Don't save money."

Lin Hao pushed the box into Mr. Mu's hands.

"Since it is a gift from my son-in-law, I will accept it!" As he said this, Mr. Mu handed the wooden box to his wife next to him and said:
"Come, collect the money."

Then his wife went to the inner room with a smile on her face, probably to hide the money.

Mr. Mu said to his daughter, "Chunhua, how many months are left?"

Mu Chunhua said with a smile on her face: "It will take more than 4 months!"

“Then you have to take good care of your health!” Grandpa Mu warned.

"Of course. Normally, she doesn't have to do anything. She is served with delicious food and drinks!" Lin Hao nodded and said:
"Just go out for a walk occasionally. It's not good to stay at home all the time." "Yes, Dad, don't worry. Lin Hao is very good to me." Mu Chunhua also echoed.

"I'm at ease with your two young lovers' affairs!"

At this moment, his wife, who was in her twilight years, had already hidden the money and came out. Without Grandpa Mu saying anything, she started to prepare lunch.

Seeing this, Lin Hao quickly said:

"Grandpa, these two pieces of clothing were picked out by your precious daughter herself. You two should go and try them on right away. After you put on the new clothes, we can go to a restaurant and we won't have to cook!"

Lin Hao took out two long woolen coats from a cloth bag next to him.

However, it doesn’t have a fur collar, after all, fur is irritating to the eyes, but this tweed coat is still quite thick and definitely provides good warmth.

"Oh, you two have to live your own lives, this must be a waste of money!" said Mr. Mu politely.

But the smile on his face is like a blooming chrysanthemum. With such a filial daughter and son-in-law, he definitely has hope for the rest of his life.

"Hurry up and try them on. Lin Hao is talking nonsense. In fact, your son-in-law asked the silk shop to help him bring these two clothes from abroad. I just took a last look at them."

"That's thoughtful. Okay, I'll put it on right away. I'm so old, but I've never worn such fashionable clothes."

Mr. Mu didn't act pretentiously. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and put on his tweed coat.

He has been wearing that cotton-padded jacket for several years. The cotton inside has become hard and compacted, and its warmth-retaining effect is very poor. However, the old man is quite thrifty and has never been willing to throw it away.

"Well, not bad, not bad, Chunhua, look at the old man wearing this clothes, he looks a lot younger all of a sudden!" Lin Hao praised.

"That's right!" Mu Chunhua nodded in agreement and said, "Dad, this dress fits you very well and looks great!"

Soon, Mr. Mu's wife also put on new clothes, also a tweed coat, but Mr. Mu's was black and his wife's was dark.

The colors are relatively plain, firstly because they are just right for their age, and secondly because they don't want to be too flashy.

Although the tweed coat is a bit ostentatious, I will be liberated soon, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

After getting dressed, the four of them got into the car. This time they went to Donglaishun to have some mutton hotpot.

Lin Hao parked his car on the side of the road at the entrance of Donglaishun. Just as he was about to go in, he heard several familiar voices.

"Instructor!"

"Xiao Lin!"

"Lin Hao!"

Lin Hao looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was four old acquaintances, Lao Luo and his companions, so he asked curiously:

"Hey, Lao Luo, why are you guys already in the city?"

After all, the main force has not entered the city yet. Although the troops in the city have been withdrawn, they have not yet been reorganized.

But when I think about their profession, it seems quite normal. It is precisely because the troops in the city have evacuated that they are needed to enter the city to maintain public order.

"What a coincidence! How about we sit at the same table together?" Lao Luo also said with a smile.

"It's really unfortunate today, let's do it another day!" Lin Hao thought about it. After all, it was a family dinner, and the key point was that Bai Ling was also there, so he refused apologetically:
"I came here with my wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law. If I came here alone, I would drink with you!"

"It's okay, there will be plenty of time in the future!" Bai Ling said meaningfully.

"Hey, why do I feel like there's something else behind the words?" Looking at the charming and attractive Bai Ling, Lin Hao's heart moved and he also heard the hidden meaning in the words.

"I can't tell you now, you will know later. It's a surprise!" Bai Ling smiled slightly and raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, this is a surprise!" Zheng Chaoyang also smiled.

Lin Hao naturally thought of what it was, but he still played dumb and said, "Okay, then I'll be waiting for your surprise!"

"Who were those people just now?" Mu Chunhua asked curiously after the four of them sat down.

"These four people are from that side. Three of them can barely be considered my apprentices, or students!" Lin Hao thought about it and told the truth.

I had been their instructor for a few days, so it would not be wrong to say that they were my students.

"How did you two know each other?" Mu Chunhua asked subconsciously.

"The last time our development bank was established, we held a cocktail party in Villa No. 6. When I sent Liu Rusi back..."

Then Lin Hao recounted how he met Zheng Chaoyang and how he escorted him back to the holy land.

Finally, Lin Hao pointed in the direction of Lao Luo, and then lowered his voice and said, "Did you see the oldest one?"

"This old man is very evil. I sent Zheng Chaoyang out of the city and even to his destination outside the city. I could have gone back then!"

"Then this bad old man kept me there for several days and asked me to be an instructor for a group of students there. I stayed there for 9 days!"

"That's why I came back late at that time. I could have come back the next day!"

Lin Hao still has some resentment towards Lao Luo. This old guy is mean and mean, but the problem is that you can't do anything about him.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Lao Luo was quite approachable. He always had a smile on his face in front of him, spoke very politely, and showed great respect for him in his words.

It would be difficult for any normal person to refuse, and Lin Hao is no exception.

Besides, although Lao Luo was a bit mean, he didn't have any bad intentions. He just asked him to stay and be an instructor for a few days.

So Lin Hao had no choice but to agree. As a result, he was delayed day after day, three days after three days, and finally he stayed for 9 days before going back.

However, during these 9 days, he also became friends with those students and established a friendship that was not very deep, but still pretty good.

The main reason is that Lin Hao himself has this charm, and he also wants to guide people in this direction.

Because he knew that these students from Huangni Village, in addition to being the ones who would take over the security of the capital in the future, also included many key personnel in other areas.

Although he was not a big leader and was even just a grassroots staff member at the beginning, aren’t the people who get things done grassroots staff members?
It is not difficult to understand why the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. After all, it is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with little ghosts.

He has become friends with these future elites, and in the future he will have more friends and more paths, which may come in handy someday.

The key is that we have just been liberated. Although we are at the grassroots level, who says it will always be at the grassroots level? Who knows, some of them may become very successful in the future.
