Chapter 5 The Light Overhead
Lin Chen suddenly woke up from his dream and looked out the window and it was already white.
Lin Chen was gasping for breath, what was he afraid of! His head fell out but the scar was as big as a bowl! He filled his stomach first, and he could not be a starving ghost even if he died. Besides, the rich secretary guaranteed the bill, so it would be fine!
After Lin Chen finished washing up, he went to the cafeteria with his bowl.
Dashan Town is not far from the county town, and many people settle their homes in the county town. In the morning, only a few single employees eat in the cafeteria. Old Sun in the cafeteria is too lazy to serve. He often cooks more than a dozen eggs, heats a tray of steamed buns, cooks a basin of rice porridge, and mixes a plate of salted cabbage roots to make up for the payment.
Lin Chen went there very early today, except Lao Suntou, and there was no one in the cafeteria. Lin Chen took an egg, a steamed bun, picked up some pickles, ate it like wax, and took a look at the two small courtyards behind the restaurant.
There are six bungalows behind the restaurant, divided into two small courtyards. Party Secretary Qian Wansheng lives in the east courtyard, and town mayor Xu Shengtao lives in the west courtyard.
The gate of Qian Wansheng's house was wide open, and Lin Chen decided to ask for a clear statement.
Lin Chen put down his bowl and walked to the door of Qian Wansheng's yard. Qian Wansheng was washing in the yard.
Lin Chen was in a daze and saw Qian Wansheng's blue halo like a black hat on his head.
Lin Chen closed his eyes and rubbed them, and then opened them. There was still a blue light above Qian Wansheng's head. Damn it! It's really a blessing that goes by one another, and there's something wrong with your eyes!
After Qian Wansheng finished washing up, he turned around and saw Lin Chen standing at the gate of the yard, and called him: "Xiaolin, is there anything wrong?"
Lin Chen walked in and whispered: "Secretary Qian, the county discipline inspection commission asked me to go there in the afternoon, I'm afraid..."
Qian Wansheng laughed, "It's okay, don't worry, just ask for it routinely. I have greeted the leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission to ensure your safety. Even if the Safety Supervision Office has the responsibility, it is Lao Wang's responsibility and has nothing to do with you."
A stone fell to the ground in Lin Chen's heart. Looking at Qian Wansheng's cheerful smile, he became happy.
Lin Chen returned to the dormitory with his rice bowl and dried the steamed buns and eggs in half. Since Qian Wansheng said that he was safe, then go to the county hospital to check his eyes. He sent a WeChat message to his sister Lin Xun and asked her to tell her parents that she would go home for lunch.
Lin Chen drove out of the government compound. When he turned onto the highway, he habitually glanced at the rearview mirror and subconsciously braked!
There was a burst of rapid brake sound from behind, and the driver behind the car scolded loudly: "Can you drive? You're crazy!"
Lin Chen did not respond. He stared blankly at the rearview mirror. The top of his head was like Qian Wansheng, with a halo in the shape of a black hat! The difference is that his halo is green!
Lin Chen carefully touched the top of his head, but he didn't touch anything, but the halo was real, and it was like he could breathe, with the edges opening and closing.
Lin Chen stayed for a while, and finally drove forward amid the sounds of whistles coming from behind.
Lin Chen drove to the county hospital and got an ophthalmology number. While he was waiting in the hall, he looked at many people but did not see the halo.
It was Lin Chen's turn, and he entered the clinic and told the doctor about his symptoms.
The doctor tested his vision, checked his fundus, and said to him: "The vision is normal, there is no problem with the fundus, and cataracts and vitreous turbidity are also ruled out."
"Doctor, why do I see light on my head?"
"Do you see that there is light on my head now?"
"No."
"Maybe you are under too much pressure recently, so you'll be fine if you have a good rest. How about sleep? Prescribe some sleep medicines for you."
The doctor was writing, and the door was pushed open and walked in alone.
The doctor quickly stood up: "Director, do you have something to do?"
The dean waved his hand: "You keep busy, I'll just take a walk."
Lin Chen looked at the dean with his eyes straight.
"This oral liquid, three times a day, one dose at a time, hey, what's wrong with you?" The doctor reached out and shook his hand in front of Lin Chen's eyes.
"I saw a green light on the dean's head..."
The doctor looked at Lin Chen with pitiful eyes, "You go to the psychologist on the fourth floor to have a look?"
As noon approached, Lin Chen walked out of the hospital dejectedly and drove home.
Seeing his neighbors, Lin Chen greeted him warmly, and he saw that there was no halo on his head.
Lin Chen was shocked as soon as he opened the door.
My father was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, with a green light on his head!
The father looked at Lin Chen at the door, turned his face to the kitchen and shouted, "Your baby son is back!" After that, he waved to Lin Chen: "Come in!"
"It's time to serve!" My mother brought out six dishes from the kitchen, pressed Lin Chen onto the chair with a smile, turned around and shouted at the bedroom inside: "Dear daughter, come out and have dinner! I know that I'm locked in the room every day and don't help me with anything..."
My sister Lin Xun came out of the room yawning and rolled her eyes at her mother dissatisfied: "I just like your son, your son will be very fish and meat when he comes back. I'm at home and eat potatoes and onions every day..."
The mother glared at her: "You are a corporate clerk and you still want to treat them the same as a government cadre."
Lin Chen quickly smoothed out: "Sister, sit down quickly. Look, our mom made your favorite fish-flavored shredded pork today." After that, he quickly picked up chopsticks for his sister.
The sister sat down with a drooping face, and the mother ignored it and stirred the chicken legs in the chicken with mushrooms and mixed the garlic paste into Lin Chen's bowl.
Lin Chen took a few bites and said happily: "Mom, your skills are getting better and better, and they are comparable to the level of Zhang Laosan Hotel in our town."
The father said with disdain, "Zhang Laosan has been dead for many years. His restaurant tastes just average."
Lin Chen said: "It's Zhang Laosan's son now. By the way, dad, how are you in good health? Isn't you uncomfortable?" Lin Chen said, while secretly staring at the halo on his father's head. Unlike the halo on his head, the halo on his father's head remained still.
My father poured a cup of white wine and drank it all in one go: "I am in good health. I have grafted the apple field I contracted outside the county town into a new variety. I just applied two packs of fertilizer today, all of which were given by your cousin."
"The fertilizer my cousin gave me?"
"Well, he sells fertilizers and pesticides. He has done a good job in recent years. He also said he plans to open a sales center in your town!"
"Dad, when you work in a township, if the secretary and the town mayor have conflicts, are you listening to the secretary or the town mayor?"
"Of course I listen to the secretary. The secretary is the top leader. When working in the government, I am most afraid of conflicts between the top leader and the second leader. My subordinates are stuck in the middle, and they are really rats in the bellows. The old man is angry. I remember that your father used to be the director of the Economic Office of Dashan Town, but the first and second leaders were not in harmony at that time. It was so difficult for me to be stuck in the middle. I resigned and went to the newly established fruit tree station. First, to play to his specialties, and to stay away from conflicts."
After dinner, Lin Chen went back to his room for a sleep, and hurried out at half past the house. His father told him, "Please pay attention to your health. I see that your face is not very good! Your mother and I are in good health, so you don't have to worry about it! By the way, if you have time to introduce your sister to her, don't let her stay at home all the time..."
My sister's voice came from the bedroom: "I'm only twenty-three, don't worry!"
