Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 821 It’s all in the wine

The father and son did what they said. After dinner, they cleaned up their things and discussed what New Year gift to give to Grandpa Lin.

In the end, it was Xiao Duan who made the final decision, saying that Mr. Lin had everything he needed in his position, and the key thing was a token of his thoughtfulness, so he might as well pick out two or three of the jade hand-held pieces in his family collection, and then pick out a few pieces of the finest fabrics in the shop.

At this point, Xiao Duan blinked his eyes and said, "Dad, we need more cloth. Master Lin... I am ill, hahaha. If each family member makes two pieces of clothing, that will require a lot of cloth!"

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Duan hit Little Duan on the head and said, "You're still talking about Master Lin? You're not a child anymore. I don't ask you to bring back three or five. Just one will do. You were very capable before. You could even get hold of a foreign woman!

I tell you, I don't care what you do outside, you must leave roots for our Duan family. My son, you are a seedling in a thousand hectares of land, and the only flagpole in front of the temple! If you don't pay attention, our Duan family will have no descendants, and I will not be able to close my eyes even if I die!"

Xiao Duan was a little embarrassed. "What the hell is going on, Dad? What foreign woman? We are classmates, serious classmates. Besides, they have all returned to their country. Who can I go to? Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to this matter. Who knows, I may bring back a big fat boy for you to play with one day."

Although he said this, Xiao Duan sighed in his heart. There are only a few people in his line of work who have families and children. He just needs to take it one step at a time.

That night, the father and son had different thoughts. Old Duan couldn't sleep in the second half of the afternoon, so he ran to the Buddhist temple in the back room and prayed there for half the night, muttering something to himself.

The next morning, the father and son caught the morning train. Unexpectedly, there were still so many people on the train even on New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, Xiao Duan is a well-known figure in Peking. The deputy captain of the detective team is not conspicuous in Lin Ye's group, but he is also a high-ranking official in the outside world. This is like xxxx in the capital. He is also a remarkable figure, the kind that ordinary people cannot get in touch with.

He contacted the station, and the stationmaster happily escorted him to the train and personally coordinated a private compartment for him.

No matter how many people are on the bus, there is always a private room reserved for people like Xiao Duan.

As for people of Mr. Lin’s level, they all have special trains and don’t need this.

Old Duan, who was following his son's lead, curled his lips and said, "You are already a big shot. You can even act arrogantly when riding a train. They say that you can only establish a career after you have a family. No matter how impressive you are outside, what's the point if you don't have a wife and children?"

Okay, here it comes again. Xiao Duan simply said he was sleepy, then turned his head and fell asleep.

When he arrived in Tianjin, Lao Duan was still a little uneasy.

It's New Year's Eve now. Even though it's morning, Mr. Lin won't blame me for showing up so rashly, right?

But after arriving at the Lin Mansion, Niu Saner first received them warmly. After about half an hour, Lin Ze arrived at the reception room.

Don’t think that waiting half an hour is too long. If anyone can see Master Lin after waiting half an hour, it would be a great honor.

With Lin Ze's current status, he can be said to be carrying the entire Tianjin on his shoulders.

Even though he is taking a break and not working, there are still piles of things that require him to know and make decisions, and the time is arranged in five-minute units. The fact that he can temporarily cut in line to meet the father and son of the Duan family is enough to show their friendship.

There was nothing much to say when they met at this time, except to wish each other well. Lin Ze accepted the gift with a smile and asked Niu Saner to pick out a few things in return.

There were so many gifts during the New Year that the warehouse at the Lin Mansion was almost full. Niu Saner simply picked out some non-storable items, especially some precious ingredients, and gave them to the father and son to take away.

On the way out, Lao Duan was still sighing, "Master Lin is so particular!"

Xiao Duan laughed and said, "That's right. What's my relationship with Uncle Lin? He saved my life!"

Old Duan hit him again, "Don't call him Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, you call him Uncle Lin, but he calls me Big Brother? That's rude, call me Uncle Lin from now on, you are so dishonest, you don't even have a wife..."

Xiao Duan curled his lips and said, "Okay, here it comes again!"

After seeing the father and son off, Niu Saner also got busy.

The Lin Mansion had already been cleaned spotlessly, but there was still a lot of work to be done.

Dinner is the highlight, and Niu Saner personally oversees the preparation, and is very particular about what dishes to prepare and what tableware to use.

"Everyone, please be careful. Today is Chinese New Year. Let's set up two tables tonight to reward everyone."

The servants all respected Niu San'er very much, mainly because Butler Niu never looked down on anyone. Although he was very strict with everyone's work, he was always kind. If anyone had a headache or a fever, they would see a doctor if necessary, and rest if necessary.

Director Niu also sent the servants' children to school.

It can be said that the cooks, nannies, maids and guards in the Lin Mansion have long regarded the Lin Mansion as their home.

At night, the women all changed into beautiful clothes, competing with each other in beauty.

Lin Ze changed into a long silk gown with round patterns. He looked more like a student than a spy chief holding great power.

This dress dazzled the female relatives. They all looked affectionate and their eyes were full of tears.

Lady Tang was now acting like a big sister. When she saw Ruoxue blinking, she pinched her deliberately and said, "Little girl, your eyes are almost on me. How about we wait for you and I will carry you upstairs."

Ruoxue refused to give in. "If the sisters are willing to let me, then of course I can, but I can't do it alone. I need more people to help me."

Everyone laughed. Mieko was wearing a Western-style dress and had red nail polish on her toenails. She could speak Chinese quite fluently now. Hearing this, she jokingly said, "Why don't we just skip dinner and let Grandpa accompany us from this year to next year..."

When Lingjia heard this, she glanced around and said, "You don't have to skip meals. I can eat while..."

Lin Ze coughed. These tiger women, once women become fierce, men have no chance at all!

It was already dark outside, so we just asked Niu Saner to set the table.

The meal started here, and two tables were set up for the servants. As usual, some wine was served, and everyone could get a cup or half a cup.

Niu San toasted and thanked everyone for their hard work throughout the year. The atmosphere was harmonious and lively.

After finishing all these, Niu Saner still can't rest. After the New Year, Uncle Lin will have to go to Peking again, and all things have to be taken care of by then. Many people will come to pay New Year's greetings early tomorrow morning, so the gift list and the New Year's greetings book must be prepared.

While I was busy in the issuing room, Lin Ze walked in with a pot of wine and a plate of pork skin jelly in his hands.

"Niu San'er, that's enough. Stop working so hard. You don't need to be so meticulous about these little things. It's enough to have something that's roughly done. You should also find a few people to help you share the work. There are more and more things to do. How can you be so busy by yourself?"

Niu Saner smiled.

To be honest, he quite enjoyed this feeling. He shared Lin Ye's worries and managed everything in an orderly manner, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

"Come on, it's New Year's Day, let's have a drink."

Lin Ze pushed the papers on the desk aside, put the wine and food on it, and the two of them started drinking.

There was no further conversation; it was all taken up with the wine.
