Lao Lin's son stayed in the provincial capital to work after graduation. In order to give his son a comfortable neighbor environment, he bought a second-hand house in a good location in the provincial capital. The community where this house is located is beautiful and the transportation is convenient. Lao Lin is very satisfied, but he has never encountered a neighbor from the door.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. For Lao Lin, who is used to living in a small county town, has not seen his neighbors for ten days and a half months, he will definitely report to the neighborhood committee or call 110 to call the police. However, now he is in the city and does not know his neighbors. Lao Lin thinks that he cannot act rashly, otherwise he will make a joke. But neighbors cannot meet each other for ten days and half a month. They cannot communicate with each other if they have anything to do or share what they have good food. They always feel that something is missing. Lao Lin comes in and out of home every day, hoping to meet his neighbors, even if he just says hello and nods!
On Saturday morning, Lao Lin came back from a walk outside. When the elevator arrived at the door, the door was opened. A middle-aged man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a white shirt tied in black trousers, black leather shoes, and a briefcase in his hand stood at the elevator entrance, waiting anxiously to take the elevator.
Lao Lin determined that the middle-aged man was a neighbor, so he quickly greeted the middle-aged man politely and introduced himself that he lived in the opposite door. His surname was Lin. He had been moving in for half a month. The middle-aged man handed the briefcase from his right hand to his left hand, stretched out his right hand very politely to shake hands with Lao Lin, and welcomed Lao Lin to move to become a neighbor. At this time, the elevator stopped downwards and the door was automatically opened. The middle-aged man pulled out of Lao Lin's right hand that he was reluctant to let go, and hurriedly walked into the elevator quickly. Before the elevator closed, the middle-aged man waved his hand to Lao Lin and said, "I'll talk about it next time I meet it!"
Lao Lin has been guessing the identity of his neighbor since he met him. Judging from the middle-aged man's dress, he should be a cadre, with a white shirt, black trousers, and briefcase. These are typical cadre standard configurations; judging from the age and behavior of the middle-aged man, he should be a leader, shaking hands, welcoming, and waving hands. Only the leader will do these three actions naturally, appropriately and skillfully.
But Lao Lin immediately denied his speculation that it is impossible for the leader to live in this community. Although the environment is good and the transportation is convenient, it is far from the city center and the geographical location cannot reach the leaders' eyes. Another thing is that the community is not high enough, and most of the people living in the province are new residents who come to the provincial capital to develop. Now that leader does not live in a high-end community, and this community can only be considered a mid-range community if it is dead.
At the same time, Lao Lin denies his guess and has another basis, believing that the leader is resting on Saturdays and Sundays, and even when he goes to work from 9 to 5, he is on the right track and steady at work. The person who hurried to work with a briefcase early in the morning is either a private company boss or a salesperson of an insurance company. Lao Lin firmly believes in his guess and judgment, because there is another basis for counter-proof that Lao Lin's guess and judgment is correct. Lao Lin has not seen anyone give gifts to his neighbors in more than half a month.
Why is Lao Lin so concerned about the identity of his neighbor? Because Lao Lin bought a house for the first time ten years ago, the neighbor opposite the door was a cadre. This cadre came to customers every few days, and sometimes guests came to visit at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and often knocked on the wrong door. Lao Lin had a poor sleep and could not stand the interference of life, so he transferred away from the neighbor at a low price.
After a while, Lao Lin wanted to knock on the door of the neighbor, but he felt too reckless and had a relationship with him only one time, and he didn't know whether the other party would welcome him or not. At the same time, I am also worried that if you are a private company boss or an insurance company salesperson, you will not have a fixed job or rest time. If you knock on the door rashly affects their rest, it will be disgusting.
On Sunday, the son suddenly informed Lao Lin that his girlfriend's parents would come to their home to visit them within half an hour, asking them to prepare some fruit and pastries, and specially told them to prepare some good tea. The future father-in-law likes to drink tea.
After receiving the call from his son, Lao Lin was as anxious as ant on a hot pan. The fruit pastry has never been stopped at home. It is still too late to buy some high-end fruit shops at the door. It is a bit difficult to prepare high-end tea. If you don’t have a good sleep, you don’t have the habit of drinking tea. You can’t even find tea powder at home. Not to mention high-end tea, it’s too late to buy it now.
At this time, Lao Lin was quick to learn that the neighbor of the door, whether it was the private company boss or the salesperson of the insurance company, should have prepared tea of good quality at home in order to win the customer's business. So he ignored whether the neighbor was at home or not, and knocked on the door and said he would borrow some tea. The neighbor told Lao Lin to come in that he had black tea at home, but the quality was not good enough, and handed Lao Lin a can of black tea. Lao Lin picked up the black tea and turned around and walked home.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available. Lao Lin had just boiled boiling water and prepared to make tea, and his future in-laws and mother-in-law came. Lao Lin handed the tea to his in-laws with both hands. The in-laws only took a sip and never picked up the tea cup again. Lao Lin knew that the quality of this tea was not very good, and the quality of the tea this neighbor drank was average.
Lao Lin further determined his guess and judgment through tea. This neighbor could not be the leader. If he were the leader, he would definitely have excellent tea.
Just as Lao Lin was complacent about his judgment, Lao Lin found a bag of wild millet hanging at the door, with a note left in the bag, which read: Director Li, this time I went through your hometown and brought some specialties from your hometown. Please compensate for the taste of your hometown!
Lao Lin knew that this was the neighbor's thing, but he definitely did not expect that the neighbor was a director! However, Lao Lin was still very happy about his mistakes in his guess and judgment, because this director is not like the director he remembered ten years ago!
