Chapter 669 Smile!
Richard came in from the hallway, glanced habitually at the living room, took off his divine robe and hung it on the hanger.
The vast majority of priests wear the robes at work like a doctor's white coat, and take them off after get off work. There will be other clothes inside. Once the robes are taken off, they can directly integrate into the secular society;
Karen wears the divine robe as normal clothes, and will not wear a set of casual clothes underneath.
Because there is a separate lounge in his office, he can take a shower and change into casual clothes before going out before changing places; moreover, Karen’s divine robe is more expensive, and there are many small formations built in, similar to self-cleaning, heat preservation and other functions The operation effect is very stable and very good, and casual clothes are far less comfortable than divine robes;
Richard's robes are not as expensive as Karen's, because his grandma bought them for him, um, although...Karen's robes were also bought by his grandma.
Walking to the door of his father's study room, he hesitated for a while, but Richard still decided not to go in, because he suddenly realized one thing, that is, his father hadn't beaten him for a while.
One of the main reasons for this is that he seldom goes home recently, and he is basically busy in the department.
He was ashamed to say that he was busy in front of Karen, but in fact, he was really busy; Karen only gave him a job direction after making him the office director, but Mr. Alfred would give him specific arrangements. mission.
The reason why he immediately mentioned Karen's formation instructor Pillow in the car was also because he was following up a formation academic seminar that Pyro attended recently, which was similar to a special lecture given by an excellent formation master. Richard also deliberately In the name of Karen, a flower basket was ordered remotely for delivery.
"Then I, take a shower first?"
Richard turned away, deciding not to have family fun for now.
After turning around, Richard immediately said "ah!", because he actually saw his little uncle sitting in the living room.
The little uncle, Judge Duck, was sitting in the corner of the sofa in the living room, weak and helpless.
In this world, there are indeed some people whose sense of existence is so low, no matter what the occasion, they are naturally located on the edge of the neglected area, and their concealment ability is even more useful than the magical enchantment.
Richard hadn't noticed him at all from entering the room to walking over.
"Uncle."
"Ah, Richard." Duck smiled, pretending that he was also surprised when he found out that Richard had returned.
Richard took the initiative to come over, relying on his intuition, he could guess that his little uncle should have come here for something, otherwise he should be smoking in the flower garden outside the house instead of sitting in the living room ahead of time.
"Uncle, did something happen at work?" Richard asked with concern.
"Um, it's nothing, nothing..." Duck waved his hand subconsciously first, but then realized that Richard is now the director of the Whip of Order office. After a moment of hesitation, he changed the subject, "There's something wrong , a little thing."
"Then uncle, can you talk to me?"
Dak pursed his lips, and said: "There is an account that passed through my court, but it only passed through me. I didn't even see the coupons and supplies. You know, I often There will be situations like this, especially before the audit year, it will be common."
"Well, yes, uncle, and then?"
"Then there was a problem with this account, because a certain bishop above fell, and many people in his line were arrested or transferred. When the above account was counting and calculating the debt, it was calculated to me. The account is inexplicable hang in my judgment house."
Judge Dak's words were a little vague, but Richard understood it. This was an internal laundering of coupons. After being circulated from some small units, the identity and purpose of the coupons changed.
It is an illegal operation, it may be for corruption, or it may be for the convenience of special work. For example, it is impossible for the Guangming Remnant Unit on the headquarters side to have special funds on the surface, and the coupons flowing there need to be transferred from other channels. , unless Karen is willing to bear all the expenses of this part, but this is obviously impossible. After all, this is a secret department under the name of the whip of order in the region, so at this time, there is a process for ordering coupons and obtaining materials. .
However, because of the struggle a while ago, half of the bishops in the region have stepped down, and the forces behind them have also been liquidated. A sum of money was stuck on the head of my uncle.
"Richard, please believe me, this matter really has nothing to do with me."
Richard believed that his uncle would not embezzle. His grandfather had always looked down on this little son-in-law, thinking that he was worthless. If he could embezzle, maybe his grandfather would still look up to him.
"I believe in your uncle, but does my sister-in-law know about this?"
"She... still doesn't know." Dak shook his head in embarrassment.
"A large amount?" asked Richard.
"It's really not small."
If it's a small amount, the allowance and subsidy of my sister-in-law as the judge may be easily paid out of my pocket. This time, the amount is obviously beyond the family's burden.
Anyway, when something like this happened, Duck could only ask his father-in-law to help. If he told his wife, he would be more relaxed. His wife came to ask his father for help, but he obviously only wanted to do it by himself. bear the pressure.
When his wife chose to marry him, she was already very wronged and was not understood by her family. As a result, he has not improved at work these years. A man is a husband, and the layers of cigarette butts under the soil in the flower garden outside Guman's house understand his suffering.
"Approximately how many?" Richard asked.
Dak gestured a number with his hand, and then added: "It's not considered supplies..."
"so much?"
"Ah."
"Then when I go back to the headquarters, I can ask someone to ask for you. I should be able to find a solution."
"Really?" Duck looked surprised.
"Well, there's no need to tell grandpa about uncle for now."
"Huh... yes, yes." Duck nodded quickly.
He had just been sitting here waiting for Deron to come back from get off work, and every minute and every second felt like torture.
Picking up the teacup on the coffee table, Dake took a few sips and said with a smile, "Our Richard has grown up."
Richard shrugged. He liked that.
At this moment, Deron walked in.
Dak jumped up as if a spring had been placed under his buttocks: "Father, you are back."
Deron looked at him, frowned slightly habitually, and then nodded at him. He had just walked around in the garden to the kitchen window to look at the soup pot, and after confirming that there was no problem, he walked around to the gate and came back.
"What's the matter, Duck?" Deron asked.
"No, nothing."
Delong was even more puzzled, but he finally didn't ask: what are you doing at home when you have nothing to do.
"Oh."
Delong walked into the restaurant, he was going to find the surprise his wife had prepared for him.
As for this little son-in-law...he really doesn't like it.
The old man is a very orderly person, and has always strictly restrained himself with extremely high moral standards. Although he was indeed somewhat pedantic and dogmatic in the past, his style was absolutely decent.
A son-in-law who can make such a decent old father-in-law dislike him shows how bad this son-in-law is.It's not that the old man has never thought of pulling his son-in-law, but his talent and work ability are mediocre, so hard that you can't find a point of strength to pull him, and you even have to worry about forcibly pulling him to a slightly higher position. He will give you a virtue that is not worthy, and it will collapse directly.
But there is no way, who told his daughter to like it, so she insisted on marrying him.
After Delong left the living room, Duck sat down again, and then said in an elder tone: "Richard, have you been busy with work recently?"
"Busy, there is a lot of work, and I can't finish it at all."
"Yes, we are all busy with work, but young people still have to work hard and seize opportunities while they are young."
"You are right, uncle."
"Well, hehe." Dak showed a satisfied smile.
He liked Richard very much. When Richard was young, every time he came to his father-in-law's house, Richard would take the initiative to pour tea and move chairs for him, and he would also take the initiative to talk to him about school, which solved a lot of embarrassment for him.
"Oh, that's right!" Richard slapped his head, "I'm still waiting to go back and find someone, Karen is here too, just say no to Karen."
"Karen is here too?"
"What's wrong?" Karen just walked in from the entrance.
The spring under Dake's buttocks started again, and the whole person stood up subconsciously: "My lord."
Karen smiled at Dark and said, "Mr. Dark, you don't have to be so polite, it will look unfamiliar."
Duck is Richard's uncle and his little uncle.
Moreover, in Karen's perception, Dak is quite a cute person. When I come to Guman's house several times, I can meet him hiding in the flower garden and smoking a cigarette just to kill the communication time before meals.
He is very family-oriented, and has been trying his best to maintain his responsibilities as a husband and a father. Even if he is mediocre, maybe... this is what an ordinary man looks like.
"Yes, yes, my lord."
Dak waited until Karen sat down on the opposite sofa before he sat down again.
He also sighed in his heart. The young man in front of him, when he met him here for the first time, could still use his identity as a judge to give him some guidance. Pass the cigarettes, and when we meet again, we have to use honorifics. Now, we have to call adults.
"What are you talking about?" Karen asked proactively.
"It's like this, Karen..." Before his uncle could speak, Richard took the initiative to tell Karen the matter.
Duck sat across from him with a restrained smile all the time.
Karen nodded and said: "Then the nature of this matter is different. It may be that the person who handled it transferred several bad debts to Judge Dak because they knew about your relationship with the Guman family. Let you help eliminate it together."
"Is that so?" Dak's eyes widened.
It doesn't mean that people with background will be able to get along well in the unit, let alone that it is normal for everyone to deliberately follow you, deliberately dig holes for you to make you jump or push you out of the pot.
In addition, Guman's family has always had a good reputation, and Mr. Delong cherishes feathers very much. This kind of bishop's family is really not as scary as the previous Dun's family.
"Well, Richard, after you go back, let Vic help sort out this matter. Whoever is responsible is who is responsible, and the matter will be resolved."
"Okay, I see." Richard responded with a smile.
Dak also let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that with Karen's words, the matter would be resolved. Although he might be criticized and might even be downgraded, there would be no major issues. No corruption.
"Squeak..."
The living room and study door was opened, and Mr. Eisen stood at the door.
Richard stood up with a "buzz";
The spring didn't disappear, it shifted.
Mr. Eisen's eyes fell on Duck first, and Dake smiled at Eisen. Eisen nodded his head hard, then his eyes fell on Richard, and he squeezed his fist suddenly.
Little Jerry in Richard's body felt the host's reaction, and immediately entered the battle... no, it was in a state of being ready to be beaten.
But in the end, Eisen looked at Karen: "Karen, you are here."
"Yes, Mr. Eisen."
Karen stood up and took the initiative to walk towards the study. Eisen got out of the way and closed the door after Karen came in.
"Aren't you hurt?" Eisen asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal."
"Last night, my father went too."
"Well, yes, it was pulled over by grandma, ha ha."
"I'm quite surprised, really, in my opinion, my father would not do such an outrageous behavior, especially since he just became a bishop recently."
"Ah."
"So, my father has really changed and changed a lot."
"Uncle, are you laying the groundwork?"
"Ah..." Eisen opened his mouth and said after a while, "Is it obvious?"
"It's not obvious, it's just not concealed enough."
"Today is my father's birthday," Eisen said.
"I just found out, but Richard and Duck don't seem to know."
It is normal for the younger generation in the family not to remember the elder’s birthday in other families, and those who are favored are always confident;
However, the Guman family still has a strong traditional atmosphere. According to the secular plan, it should be a conservative family. As the head of the family, Delong's birthday is a major event in the family in a year.
"Because my father hasn't had his birthday for many years, and his birthday happens to be my sister's memorial day."
"Oh, I see."
"Although that is not the exact date of my sister's death, it should be the date of accidental death identified by the religion of my sister in that mission, but my father doesn't know, so his birthday will not be celebrated."
"I see."
No wonder grandma chose this day, so... compact.
It's like in kindergarten, when a kid named "Grandpa" just did a good deed, grandma immediately took him by the hand and came over to seek rewards. There are multiple factors in this.
"However, my father will never show how much he misses his sister in the eyes of others. If there is no accident, in the past few nights, he will work and live like a normal person during the day, but at night, he will sleep alone in the basement. My sister's portrait can be seen all night long. He has been here for so many years.
He has always felt very guilty about my sister's death. He thought it was because of his high demands on my sister that she was allowed to enter that department, and an accident happened in the end.
His elder sister was once the greatest pride in his life. "
"It's more sincere." Karen laughed.
"Eh?" Eisen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and laughed, "This is not a foreshadowing."
"I know, so uncle, you don't need to lay the groundwork. It's not suitable for you. You should go straight."
"Is it……"
"Grandma told me that she wanted to tell Master Delong about me."
"Really, when?"
"Just today."
……
"It seems that my soup is ready." Mrs. Tang Li walked into the kitchen and smelled the smell.
"Yes, I can't wait to taste a bowl first." Deron responded with a smile.
"However, it will be a while before the meal is ready. I have to cook a few more dishes. After all, Karen is here, and I want him to taste it for me."
"Of course, my dear, as long as you are happy, I will go to the studio first."
"OK, go ahead."
Deron walked out of the kitchen and went straight to the basement. His studio was below, and the layout inside was very similar to his office.
It's just that he didn't directly continue the research in the office. Instead, he sat down and took out a photo frame from the drawer. The photo frame was not a photo, but a delicate oil painting.
In the oil painting is a family of five.
He and his wife stood side by side, holding Eisen, who was still very young, in his right hand, and his wife held the infant daughter in her arms, while the eldest daughter stood between him and his wife, smiling happily, already a beautiful woman little girl.
Through the glass, his fingers rubbed the eldest daughter's face over and over again.
The eye sockets began to gradually become moist.
In my mind, the day when I received the news of my daughter's accident, my wife scolded me sharply: "Delong, you said you would protect our daughter!"
"Sorry……"
Deron whispered to himself, and then he raised his head suddenly. The words just now did not appear in his mind, but appeared in reality.
Then he saw his wife come in with a fruit plate with a bunch of washed grapes on it.
"Do you still remember the promise you made to me when your daughter was just born?" Mrs. Tang Li asked.
"Remember, madam, I promised that I would use my life to protect the safety of you and your daughter."
"You broke your promise."
"Yes, I broke my promise. If I were given another chance, I would definitely not..."
"She's gone."
Delong closed his eyes and nodded: "Yeah, what's the point of saying this now..."
"If nothing happened to our daughter, she should have been married a long time ago. Before Eisen, her child should be a little older than Richard."
"Yes, that's right."
"We may have a grandson or granddaughter who will be excellent because our daughter is excellent."
"Of course, sure, my blood and yours flow through her body, and she awakened the Rubik's Cube Key when she was still sitting in the cradle, and played with it as her own toy.
The man she likes must be very good, and their child will definitely inherit their excellent blood, and must be a genius! "
Madam Tang Li suddenly said, "Like Karen?"
Mr. Delong blinked his eyes and was stunned, then showed a look of thinking and struggling, and finally shook his head and said:
"Honey, I don't think this is possible, because Karen's excellence is beyond our understanding and imagination, and I dare not even have such an exaggerated dream when I sleep.
Did you know that he is even proficient in formations, that kind of real proficiency, what kind of genius is this, and how did he do it!
In my opinion, only those sons of gods who are high in the gods can have such a terrifying talent like him! "
"What if, I mean what if, our grandson is someone like Karen?"
Deron thought for a moment, then spread his hands and replied:
"Then when I'm lying on the bed at night, I will suddenly turn back and forth, and then giggle, just like my dear, you have been in bed for the past six months..."
Delong suddenly paused, because he thought of these movements. In the past six months, his wife has often done them on the bed, and sometimes she turned back and forth inexplicably, covered her mouth with the quilt, and laughed out loud.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Deron heard his heart beating, and felt his lips dry. He suddenly thought of a possibility. This possibility was very clear and obvious. It started from the series of special treatment his wife had given Karen since she met Karen. You can see the clues.
There are some things that I was originally in the fog, but once I grasped the feeling and then stood at the end and deduced it, it suddenly became clear, and what my wife said just now was almost expressive.
The spring shifts again,
The old man stood up with a "bang", and the chair under him was knocked over by him, but he didn't care about it. He stared at his wife with wide eyes, and clenched his fists with both hands:
"Honey, really?"
Mrs. Tang Li picked up a grape and put it into her husband's mouth. She gently touched his pale lips due to excitement with her fingertips, and reminded:
"Remember to keep your voice down when you giggle tonight, don't disturb my sleep."
