Jagged City - Chapter 180 Seven A Dream Comes True

Lin Tao's phone rang non-stop. Secretary Gao and Mayor Xu left after hearing that Lin Tao had answered the call from the vice premier, and it was meaningless to listen to it any more. │| │Lin Tao received more than 80 congratulatory calls until noon, and his mouth was dry.Finally made time to call his father Lin Zhiyuan.

"Xiao Tao?"

"It's me, Dad. The Provincial Committee has already approved the proposal to appoint me as the mayor of Xiliang City Government. We only need to wait for the official notification from the Organization Department. After completing the Xiliang People's Congress election, I will be a veritable mayor."

"En——Okay, okay—Xiaotao, you are a good person. How happy your mother would be to see you become the mayor! You are not only the mayor, but also a major general. If your mother is alive, she will definitely put you As an idol, you know that your mother is a fan of martial arts. When she asked you to learn taekwondo, she wanted you to become a master of martial arts. But she didn't see that her son is even more powerful than the legendary martial arts knight. Seeing your current Look, your mother will definitely go crazy with joy. I am happy for your mother——" Lin Zhiyuan broke down in tears when he said this.

"Dad—" Lin Tao's tears also flowed down his eyes. This was the first time Lin Tao shed tears in his adult years.Lin Tao's mother has been dead for more than ten years, but her voice, appearance and smile have been emerging bit by bit since Lin Tao can remember. Sending him to school, helping him take a bath, cooking for him, learning Taekwondo with him, that is a full of vitality. His lovely mother died suddenly in a car accident more than ten years ago. No matter how big an official Lin Tao is, no matter how much money his father earns, it is impossible to call his mother back. Everyone has only one life, so they need to be cherished.

"Dad, I'm going to visit my mother's grave in my hometown after a while, and take Xiao Xiao and the two children with me." Lin Tao said, wiping away tears. Secretary Fang Liang was about to deliver tea to Lin Tao when he saw this scene and quietly left.I thought to myself, it turned out that Mayor Lin's mother had passed away for many years, no matter how many honors Mayor Lin had, that mother would never see her again.Thinking about how my mother should be about the same age as Mayor Lin's mother, I have been busy with work this year, not only did I not go back to my hometown, but I also rarely made phone calls. Fang Liang was ashamed when he first arrived.Fang Liang went into the bathroom, took out his mobile phone and called home.Fang Liang's family lives in the countryside of Huangliang City, and he has worked hard to support him as a college student. He sells two cows every year for his tuition and living expenses. Sigh, it’s basically steamed buns and pickles every day. It’s not bad to eat meat once a week, but with this perseverance, he defeated hundreds of opponents and became a member of the Xiliang government’s secretary department two years ago.All of my wages for more than a year were sent home to repay the family loan.It must be even harder for the family to live because of his debts.My mother is only 50 years old but her hair is already graying, and my father's back is also a little stooped. Thinking of this, Fang Liang's eyes are sore for a while.

"Who is it?" A vicissitudes of voice came.

"Dad, it's me!" Fang Liang replied with some choking.

"Xiao Liang, what's the matter?" Fang Liang's father is a simple farmer. Like many Chinese families, the love between father and son is not exposed, but the silent and silent concern of great love.

"It's okay, you and Mom are in good health!"

"I'm fine, but your mother's back hurts. This is an old problem. You don't have to worry about it. You can work at ease. Your mother is out and not at home. The phone bill is quite expensive. Hurry up and hang up."

"Well, I'll buy some medicine for you and mom to send back."

"Why buy that, it's a waste of money, we're fine, hang up!"

Fang Liang put down his phone and remained silent. This was a father-son conversation, not to mention an exchange of feelings, but Fang Liang understood his father.In order to make up for the tuition fees for the start of school, my father, who never asked for help all his life, smoked old tobacco all night, and went around asking people to borrow money the next day. A total of three hundred and five hundred, more than 20 borrowed money, all of which wrote IOUs.This is such a bundle of big and small bills, which were sewn into Fang Liang's underwear by his mother. The next day, he sent Fang Liang to the train station and watched Fang Liang leave with thousands of reminders.Fang Liang's parents' hard work was never revealed in front of Fang Liang, nor was their love for each other. It was not like on TV, hugging and hugging. This kind of situation is rare in rural areas, and everything is going on in silence.

Fang Liang walked out of the bathroom, and through the crack of the door, he saw Lin Tao in the room still calling his father.

"Dad, in a few days, you and mom will come too. We haven't seen each other for half a year, and Xiao Xiao's parents are also coming. It happens to be very lively."

"You boy, I'm really used to being called my little mother, but now I'm really your stepmother. She and I have already registered, and we plan to hold a simple wedding in the family during the Spring Festival. Xiaotao, you don't blame your father, do you? "Lin Zhiyuan is very concerned about Lin Tao's thoughts. Although Lin Tao has always said that he is willing, as a father, he still feels that it is inappropriate for Lin Tao to find a stepmother.

"Dad, I'm really happy for you. Xiao Xiao and I can no longer be around to take care of you. I feel more relieved when I have a little mother. I think my mother will also be happy for you. You have lived alone all these years. Even if you really have Mother in heaven will not be happy either. Maybe mother has been reincarnated, and you should have a new life, and I hope to have more younger brothers and sisters in the coming year."

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about? Then your little mother and I will go over the day after tomorrow, and it will be considered a family reunion." Lin Zhiyuan said with a long breath.

"Hurry up, when Xiao Xiao's mother and godmother will come, I'm a bit overwhelmed, I have to let my little mother cover me." Lin Tao laughed.

"Let her cover you. Your mother-in-law and your godmother are both government cadres. The governor's wife, how can they compare?" Lin Zhiyuan said with a little confidence.

"Why can't we compare? My mother is the wife of the chairman of Junlian Group, and she is also a beautiful doctor. Among these people, my mother has the highest education." Lin Tao said.

"Who said she has the highest education, don't you and I also have a doctorate?" Lin Zhiyuan said bluntly.

"Since when did you become a doctor?" Lin Tao exclaimed.

Lin Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Your mother and I both have a master's degree in economics. We planned to take the Ph.D. exam together when you were in college. They said it was a surprise for you when you graduated. In your mother's words, even a master's degree is not enough. You can't get out of my mother's palm, and you have to listen to the doctor's old lady. I took the Ph.D. in Economics and Management for your mother during the four years I was there, and I took the Ph.D. for myself in the past few years. Don't think that you are great just because you have a master's degree in medicine, hurry up and get a doctorate in economics and management while you are young, otherwise it will not match your current status as mayor."

"Ahhh——" Lin Tao's head was a little short-circuited, and he thought he was smart. He was ranked first in the medical university, and now he remembered that his parents had already obtained a master's degree when he was young, and now his father is actually a double-degree Ph.D. , it seems that he is not as smart as his parents. Lin Tao was a little sweaty at the moment, and was moved by his father's persistent love for his mother.This double doctor is the wish of the mother.Lin Tao couldn't help thinking of his mother's mischievous look, "The boy has a master's degree, but my mother is a doctor! You can't escape my mother's palm, hahaha——"

Lin Tao's five-year medical university was a combination of undergraduate and master.Thinking about the fact that the mayor's identity is actually a master's degree in medicine, it makes people feel ridiculous. If he is the director of the health bureau or something, this education is quite suitable.I have been in Xiliang for five months. Although I have read a lot of books, they are very general, complicated and not profound at all. It seems that I need to study further.

Putting down his father's phone, Lin Tao leaned on the boss's chair, closed his eyes and thought about the past ten years. After his mother left, he became more and more exciting. Could it be that his mother gave him silent blessings in heaven.After thinking about it, Lin Tao actually leaned back on the chair and fell asleep.Lin Tao had a dream that he and Xiao Xiao were sitting next to their mother with a pair of children in their arms. The mother kissed herself, Xiao Xiao, and the two little babies. She was extremely busy.Shouting excitedly.While cooking, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made clanking noises in the kitchen, breaking a bowl for a while, and frying the dishes for a while, and finally had to cook by themselves and their father, the two women stood aside with a guilty conscience watch.These two nervous women are not good at cooking--

Lin Tao leaned on the chair and smiled happily. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and his mother went to open the door. A young woman in Hanbok appeared at the door, leading a [-]-year-old boy to kowtow to his mother at the door.One called grandma and the other called mother. Lin Tao was in a daze at the kitchen door.

But he found that Xiao Xiao greeted her enthusiastically, calling her sister sweetly, and Xiao Jinlin called her godmother, Lin Tao let out a sigh of relief.It turned out that he recognized his godfather and godmother. Although his parents didn't know that he was his own grandson, Jin Lin's appearance was three points like his own, so he must have seen the clues.Xiao Xiao must have acquiesced very generously.Lin Tao burst into tears.During dinner, everyone sat together to eat, and Jin Lin, the little brother, served food for his younger brother and younger sister. The whole family sat and ate together, which was very warm.At this happy moment, the doorbell rang again.Father went to open the door.A beautiful woman dressed in fashion stood at the door, and there were three children in front of her. These three children seemed to have the same place as the three children sitting at the dining table.Lin Tao was startled and dropped the knife on the plate.Isn't that woman Di Anne, why did she come back from the United States, and who are these three children?

"Dad, you're alright, I'm Diane, this is your grandson, call me Grandpa!"

"Happy New Year, grandpa!"

"Dangdang!" Xiao Xiao, Jin Zhen'ai and mother's forks all fell on the plate.

"You big villain, I misread you, you are Chen Shimei, and you are Lin Shimei!" Xiao Xiao took the two children away in distress.

Jin Zhenai looked at herself sadly, and led the puzzled Jin Lin away silently. The mother behind kept chasing, shouting this, this kept going, shouting that, that one didn't listen.

"Father!" The three little guys rushed over and hugged their thighs.Lin Tao was stunned, but he saw Diane's smug smile like a little fox in his eyes.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Lin Tao growled at Diane.

"What have you done? You don't know?" Diane said absently while eating the steak.

"I—" Lin Tao felt very guilty.

At this time, Lin Tao's dream was suddenly awakened by the ringtone of the mobile phone.Seeing that it was Xiao Xiao's call, he immediately felt bad, as if he hadn't announced the happy news to his wife yet.When I touched my forehead, there was a layer of cold sweat, and I thought, why did I have this strange dream, the first half was fine, why did Jin Zhenai and Di Anni both come up later.Fortunately, it has nothing to do with Ouyang Qing.I'm really guilty, I don't even let me finish a sweet dream.Lin Tao sorted out his emotions and pressed the answer button.

"What is my wife busy with?"

"Am I your wife? I thought you forgot about me? You haven't called me since you became the mayor for a long time. Do you want to buy a three-person bed!" Xiao Xiao said angrily.

"Why buy a three-person bed, you have to buy a four-person bed!"

"What? A four-person bed? It's not enough for you to hug left and right, you have to hug from front to back!" Xiao Xiao said angrily.

"Of course, I'm holding the little baby on the left and right, and you, the big baby, are on top of me. We are a family of four, so of course we need a four-person bed." Lin Tao laughed.

"Cut, glib, who knows what's on your mind."

"I wanted to give you a surprise tonight, but my mother-in-law must have told you so impatiently!" Lin Tao guessed.

"Hmph, do you think I have no channels? Your every move is under the control of my mother! You treat me as Gao Tian's president for nothing!" Lin Tao could imagine Xiao Xiao's mischievous appearance, It seems to be very similar to my mother, I can't help but smile.

"I told you that you might not believe it, but I had a dream just now and told you everything in the dream." Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Don't scare me, it sounds weird." Xiao Xiao immediately became timid, and the momentum of the tigress was gone forever.

"I was on the phone with my dad just now, and I talked about my mother who passed away. I was going to go to my hometown to take you and the child to visit my mother's grave a few years ago. But after the phone call, I fell asleep on the sofa. In the dream, I and I You took the children to see your mother, and your mother hugged our family of four, kissing this and that, very happy, and at night you and your mother went to cook, but the dishes were damaged, and the kitchen smoked, and in the end we had to Dad, take care of the aftermath. You two nervous women sit together and watch our father and son cook - at this time, you are calling." Lin Tao said with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Xiao was indeed crying, and said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry, I'm too stupid, I not only overcooked the dishes, but also disturbed your reunion with mother."

Xiao Xiao can imagine that this must be Lin Tao's thoughts and dreams all the time. He thinks of his mother looking at the happy appearance of him getting married and having both children. This dream must be Lin Tao's happiest moment, but he is overwhelmed by his own sorrow broken.

"Why are you crying? It's just a dream. I was aroused by my father to feel sorry for my mother just now, but this is the first time I fell asleep in such a broad daylight. It's a bit strange." Lin Tao felt guilty, and Xiao Xiao He only talked about the first half of the dream, and Xiao Xiao was completely moved. If he talked about the second half, Xiao Xiao would have to open the arsenal and chase after him with a bazooka.

"My daughter-in-law is also incompetent. I haven't visited the grave of my deceased mother-in-law since I got married. Forgive me, mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law will bring your two grandchildren to see you soon." Lin Tao felt very funny when he heard Xiao Xiao's prayer, and thought that this woman is really timid, maybe she was afraid that her mother would entrust her with dreams in the middle of the night.

"Mom will definitely like you. She must be very happy to see such a beautiful daughter-in-law like you. Besides, you have made great contributions to the Lin family and gave birth to a pair of twins. Maybe, when mom is excited, she will come to you at night It's time for a heart-to-heart talk—" Lin Tao laughed.

"Ah - you are a big villain, you used my mother-in-law to scare me." Xiao Xiao exclaimed.

"Why are you scaring me? My mother is kind. You and her must be in perfect harmony—hey, why did you hang up? I haven't said anything about the company's celebration dinner tonight!" Lin Tao said to himself after hanging up the phone.

On a British island, in a high-end private hospital, Diane was about to be pushed into the delivery room when Ambassador Li hurried over.

"Dad! Why are you here?"

"This is the most important thing for our family. Can I not come? Do you know? Lin Tao has been elected as the mayor of Xiliang City. First he was a major general and then the mayor. He really is a talent. You don't want to hear Lin Tao's voice." Even if you don’t tell him for the time being, it’s good to listen to his voice!” Ambassador Li said helplessly, her daughter’s temperament is difficult for the couple, and besides, she has been engaged in diplomatic work for many years, and her attitude towards life has been influenced by the West. In a Chinese family, the daughter is unmarried, but she actually gave birth to a married man, and the world was turned upside down.But on the other hand, both of them have a lot of history. Whether it is domestic or international, if this matter is exposed, the impact will be too great, and there may be some troubles. Therefore, Ambassador Li and his wife also acquiesced in their daughter's behavior. Choose it yourself, and swallow it in your stomach if you have trouble.As a parent, there is nothing you can do at this moment.

"Okay! I'll make a call!"

Ambassador Li's wife hastily handed over Diane's cell phone.

Lin Tao from the Xiliang government office looked at Di Anni's number on his phone, and was shocked, thinking, why did she call just after dreaming of her.

"Diane!"

"Tao, congratulations on becoming the mayor." Diane congratulated.Ambassador Li and his wife on both sides also stood by and listened nervously.

"Diane, you seem to be very weak today. Are you sick? Your physique is very good. How could you be sick? Is it because you are too tired from work? Isn't it because you are doing dangerous work? You are a woman after all, you can't Do you do the same thing as me? Are you injured? Are you in the hospital now? Is it serious?" Lin Tao asked anxiously.

Tears dripped from the corners of Di Anne's eyes, and she smiled through her tears: "I am teasing you, you still take it seriously, I just want to see if you have forgotten me."

"This scared me. I really thought you were hurt. You don't know. Just now I had a dream. It was very strange. In the dream, you—"

"What's wrong with me? Did you dream that I was injured?" Diane asked curiously.

"If I tell you, don't scold me! Anyway, it's weird." Lin Tao said with a guilty conscience.

"Say it, I want to hear it! Say it!" Diane suddenly said coquettishly, her voice was so sweet that Ambassador Li trembled.Xin said that as expected of mother and daughter, this voice can confuse men.

"Well, I took Xiao Xiao and two children home in my dream, and saw my mother who passed away. My mother was very happy, but before the meal, that Zhenai brought her children to kill her again, but Jin Lin admitted that she was doing it. Mom, it's a great deal. While we're eating, the doorbell rings again, and guess what?"

"What's wrong?" Diane said in her heart that I would not appear on the stage.

"My dad went to open the door, but you showed up, with three little boys in front of you. You called Dad, they called Grandpa. We were fooled. As a result, Xiao Xiao and Zhen Ai ran away with their children, and they scolded me. Heartbreaker, big villain, what Lin Shimei, and then the three little guys rushed over and called me Dad, and you were smiling like a little fox next to you, with a smirk on your face, eating steak very proudly, I dreamed that Xiao Xiao Xiao's phone call was interrupted. Just as I put down the phone, you called, so I was worried about you, why did I have such a strange dream!" Lin Tao scratched his head and said.

"Heck—you are indeed Lin Shimei. In your dream, you still want me to give birth to you, and you will have three children in your life. You are really too greedy. No wonder Xiao Xiao ran away in anger. If I really gave you You gave birth to three children, what do you do?" Diane asked happily, she missed Lin Tao very much in the past few days when she was about to give birth, and sometimes felt a little wronged, but at the moment she forgot it, because Lin Tao not only dreamed of her , and two children, this is a fetal dream, and the dream is very accurate, but when she is about to enter the delivery room, Lin Tao actually fell asleep and dreamed of her, which made Di Anne very excited.Ambassador Li and his wife watched Di Anne become lively again, shook their heads and sighed, and said to themselves, this girl is really heartless!

"What should I do? Let's eat cold salad. One sheep is also herded, and two sheep are also released. Anyway, there is a Jinlin, and it doesn't matter if there are three more. But fortunately, this is just a hypothesis. If you are asked to give birth to me, I have committed a serious crime, and I am sorry for you. If I do that, I will feel ashamed. I really have to find a piece of tofu to kill me. I will go to hell in the future. I must be served by the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty. You're so fiddly, you're not a human being!" Lin Tao said distressedly.

"You coward, it's nothing for a capable man to find a few wives and have a few children. Besides, it's all at your own will. Don't worry, if you have children, I won't directly kill your family. I I will negotiate with the two of them first, I have the most credit for giving birth to three, I am the first lady, your two wives can only take second place, Jin Zhenai has one, even though he is the eldest son, he can only be the third child." Diane smiled Said.

"Ah, you still play like this, I'm convinced. I'm relieved that you're fine, and I won't persuade you anymore. Sooner or later, you will meet a prince charming who is a hundred times stronger than me and who has been kind to you for a hundred years— —Hey, is my charm really that great? It seems that having a great charm is also a kind of original sin!" Lin Tao said shamelessly.

"Pfft!" Lin Tao's words amused Ambassador Li and his wife.

"Ouch!"

"What's wrong with you? Diane!" Lin Tao heard Diane's cry of pain.

"It's okay, I have a stomachache, I hang up, congratulations, you are both a father and a mayor." Di Anni hung up the phone, and Ambassador Li and his wife hurriedly called the nurses and doctors, and pushed Di Anni into the delivery room. Di Anni was smiling anesthetized.

Lin Tao couldn't help but smile when he thought of Di Anne's words, "Congratulations, you are both the father and the mayor." In his dream, he was both the father and the mayor. is true.This early warning dream is over, but the reality in the dream will continue.
