In front of the mahjong table, the father-in-law, Bai Qing, Director Wang and Secretary Wu were having a fierce battle.

Director Wang and Secretary Wu greeted him one after another, while Bai Qing waved and said, "Husband, you came just in time. Come and teach me how to play this card."

Li Yuanlang reacted quickly and walked to Bai Qing's side, looking at the mahjong tiles, but his mind was filled with questions.

I suddenly recalled that I went to my father-in-law's room yesterday and the thread-bound book he was holding seemed to be about mahjong.

I have never heard that my father-in-law likes to play mahjong, and my wife has never mentioned it. How come he likes it?

"Look, look, which one will you hit?"

Under Bai Qing's constant urging, Li Yuanlang took out a free card and played it out.

"Wait a minute." Lu Linsong waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Qingyi, Hu Erwutiao. Yuen Long, you will lose a lot of points in this game."

"Oops!" Bai Qing lightly slapped Li Yuanlang and complained: "It's okay if I don't let you guide me, but when you give me guidance, I just let me go, so I don't need you."

"Haha!" Lu Linsong laughed happily, and Director Wang and Secretary Wu also laughed in agreement.

After laughing, Lu Linsong took a piece of paper, wrote a few numbers on it, pointed at it and said: "Xiao Qing lost a lot today. I tell you, I have to go to the kitchen to work in a while. You are not allowed to regret it."

Li Yuanlang figured out that the winning or losing of the four of them playing mahjong was based on who lost and who went to help in the kitchen. The amount of loss was converted into time.

Winning or losing is not important, what is important is the process and the skill.

Seeing Li Yuanlang's move, Lu Linsong was very proud and insisted that Bai Qing give way to Li Yuanlang.

"Okay." Bai Qing stood up and warned Li Yuanlang, "You play, if you lose, you will be punished to work in the kitchen."

"No problem." Li Yuanlang readily agreed.

Li Yuanlang has not studied mahjong in depth and does not play it on a daily basis.

His current poker skills were developed while he was sitting on the bench in Ganping County.

If we don't say that Li Yuanlang is able to achieve what he is today, one of his biggest characteristics is that he has to learn everything, be able to master everything, and be proficient in everything.

Just say playing mahjong, it seems simple, but it contains a lot of content.

Activating the brain is only one aspect. It trains people's calm character. In the game, how to make your chances of playing cards higher than others.

While playing tricks, restrict others from playing cards, this is the essence.

However, Li Yuanlang could see that among the four people at the card table, Director Wang and Secretary Wu both wanted to spend time with Lu Linsong. As long as he was happy, no one took them seriously.

That's great. If you are not serious, I am.

Li Yuanlang's serious attitude is not reflected in how he plays cards, but in finding ways to help Lu Linsong play cards.

However, there is also a trick here. You have to be calm and don't let Lu Linsong see it.

Due to consideration of Lu Linsong's physical condition, they only played four rounds of cards.

In the final calculation, Li Yuanlang turned out to be the biggest loser. He couldn't escape if he went to help in the kitchen.

Li Yuanlang didn't care, he went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and peel onions, and had a great time doing it.

This made everyone feel embarrassed, and they tried to persuade each other, but Li Yuanlang politely declined, and he had to insist on doing it.

There was no other way, so everyone had no choice but to fulfill his wish.

After finishing his work, Li Yuanlang washed his hands and came out, and was surprised to see Bai Qing standing at the door waiting for him.

"Do you want to know when dad became obsessed with playing mahjong?"

"Yeah." Li Yuanlang wiped his hands and nodded.

"For some time, after returning from Huadu, he has been studying the gameplay of mahjong with great concentration. He couldn't put it down while holding the mahjong book all day long, and even stopped writing memoirs."

Bai Qing explained: "Dad felt that the memoirs were written for him to read. The long passages contained in them were preachy, and others would not want to read them even if they were published. It would be better to focus your limited energy on the things you like, such as playing mahjong.

Farming or calligraphy.”

"However, dad has a special liking for mahjong and is very obsessed with it, which is beyond my expectation."

Listening to Bai Qing's words, Li Yuanlang immediately understood the mystery and said with emotion: "It's rare for dad to be confused. He has completely figured it out and completely let go."

"I think so too." Bai Qing held Li Yuanlang's arm and said in a complicated and helpless voice, "Dad, he did this for your own good."

"I know." He said. "Poor parents in the world, even though Li Yuanlang is forty-two years old, his father-in-law is still worried about him. Only those who are parents can understand this feeling.

"Stop talking, let's go and eat. Today you must try the sea cucumber roasted with green onions, because I peeled the green onions."

"Smelly." Bai Qing rolled her eyes at him, and then the couple walked into the restaurant together.

Lu Linsong still had the habit of not talking while eating.

After he finished eating and put down his bowl and chopsticks, he said to Li Yuanlang: "You deliberately made me happy today, which is not good. Playing mahjong is entertainment in itself, and it can also cultivate one's moral character. There is no problem in using your Bodhisattva heart on the common people. But

If we fight against corrupt elements in our future work, we will be indecisive and miss the opportunity."

Li Yuanlang humbly accepted his father-in-law's criticism without any excuse.

Apart from their son-in-law, there was only Bai Qing at the dinner table. Lu Linsong did not hesitate to say anything, and continued straightforwardly: "I heard about you, and you are resistant. I can only say that your structure is not big enough and your mind is not broad enough."

"You are different from me. I need to do this, I need to express my attitude, and I need to let others know, but you can't. To put it bluntly, you are not qualified to be picky yet. You can only obey unconditionally."

"One more thing I want to warn you is not to overcomplicate your thinking. Only by using the simplest method can you achieve the most intuitive and effective results."

"There is chaos in the world. You only need to follow your own ideas to deal with the chaos. Why worry about things that don't need to worry about you."

"Moving to Minzhong is definitely not a whim, it is a matter of careful consideration. As for why you want to take action at this juncture, it is not a question you should consider."

"What kind of thinking and what kind of things should you do in your position? These are rules and guidelines. If you break them, then I'm sorry, you deserve to be eliminated."

"I think it's reasonable for Lian Mingyu to talk to you. Your reaction is neither qualified nor out of line."

"The current situation in Minzhong Province is like a fly falling on a cake. It does not affect the taste but affects the appetite. Anyone who offers such a cake will refuse. The fly must be driven away or eliminated. That's why I said

, your reaction is within the normal category and will not lower your score."

"Yuen Long, what I said today is a warning and an encouragement to you. I hope you will always remember it and not turn a deaf ear."

After saying that, Lu Linsong slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

He stopped, turned around and left a message, "Xiao Qing, in half an hour, we will continue to play four rounds." Then he left with square steps.

Bai Qing sat there without moving, looked at Li Yuanlang, shrugged, and pointedly said: "Husband, your familiar father is back again."

yes.

Li Yuanlang was deeply touched. Lu Linsong's hearty lectures opened his Ren and Du channels, and his whole person instantly became enlightened.

He was stuck in a strange circle, always feeling like he was being taken advantage of, so he put this hot potato in his hand.

If you throw it away, you will offend others' good intentions; if you eat it, you may burn your tongue.

Neither left nor right, very difficult.

Little did he know that in the eyes of his father-in-law, it was a trivial matter.

Treat it with a normal mind. If you think too much, you will only cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, he is a bullet.

Where it flies and where it hits is not determined by the bullet, but by the shooter who fired the bullet based on his wishes.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanlang became more relaxed.

Tell Bai Qing that he will go back to the room to take a nap and report to the hotel on time at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The next morning, Li Yuanlang followed members of the Bac Giang Provincial delegation and took a special bus to the venue.

When Li Yuanlang walked inside in an orderly manner, he unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces.

Jiang Zhaojun and Gong Ngoc Shang from Dong Ha Province, Zuo Pinqun from Xiangbac Province, Liu Hao Zhun and Ng Jiong Tuan from Vinh Son Province, Luan Phuong Nhan from An Giang Province, etc.

Even Hanyue Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Benshan and Governor Hu Zhengxiao were among the crowd.

He also saw Wei Xun and Li Guanhua in military uniforms.

Some saw him and some didn't notice him.

When I saw it, I nodded and said hello.

After all, unlike usual, no loud noises are allowed.

However, when he walked up the carpeted steps, he was touched from behind.
Chapter completed!
