District 9

Lin.

After Qin Yu and Lin Nianlei entered the door, the two aunts at home went into the kitchen to prepare the meal. Lin Xiao stayed downstairs for less than ten minutes before he said to Qin Yu: "You two sit down first. I have some work to deal with. I'll be down in a while."

"Okay, you're busy." Qin Yu nodded immediately.

Lin Xiao went upstairs and Hanhan asked Qin Yu, "What do you want to drink? Water, tea, something to drink?"

Qin Yu could actually tell that Hanhan was obviously more nervous than him, but the girl was just pretending to be relaxed.

"Don't drink anymore, just sit down for a while."

"My brother also came back from a temporary leave because my grandpa was sick. During this time, he has been working at home. You should stay out of the house, hehe!" Lin Nianlei said with a smile.

"It's okay."

The two sat on the sofa and talked softly.

The Lin family is very large, with three floors upstairs and downstairs, but the decoration is not very luxurious, and is even a bit simple for the conditions of their home. The furniture and appliances used in the house are all square and serious-looking.

"Hey, Gu Laogou's elders in his family...aren't they in the same military zone as your father?" Qin Yu glanced at the environment in the room and asked softly.

"No." Lin Nianlei shook her head and said, "Gu Laogou's father is going to become a spirit, and he is not in the military area at all. His family used to live in No. 6 Courtyard, not far away, but not anymore."

Qin Yu understood immediately: "What about your dad and Gu Laogou's dad...?"

"You want to ask if they are in the same group?" Hanhan was more straightforward and asked in a very childish way.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Qin Yu nodded.

"They're not exactly in the same group, but they're not exactly opposites either." Lin Nianlei thought for a moment and said, "My family was a military family before the Era. Several generations of people have been working in the army. Their style is relatively moderate and not so radical. Especially especially My grandfather... would not let my dad fight over many things. He said that the country was not yet settled, and that my dad’s generation would just stay in business."

Qin Yu was startled for a moment, and then asked with great curiosity: "I have never understood that the Eighth District and the Nineth District are two governments and two systems, but your father serves in the Eighth District, but your fourth uncle Lin Cheng, It’s strange that you and your brother Lin Xiao both hold important positions in District 9!"

"When the Ninth District was established, the situation was unstable. The European Union District sent troops to borrow from the Sixth District to seize the power of the Ninth District. The reason is that the European Union District gave a lot of manpower and material help during the construction of the Ninth District. And the Ninth District Many high-ranking officials in the government also recognized the EU zone's interference in the power of the ninth zone. To put it bluntly, it means there are internal forces and they want military unification." Lin Nianlei only used what she had heard to answer for Qin Yu: "But this kind of thing, the eighth zone District 7 and District 7 would definitely not agree, because District 9 and we have the same ancestor after all. Although there are other races there, the place is still on this land, so the two sides had a cold war for a while. District 8 and District 7 at the same time The decision was made to expel them by force. My fourth uncle, Lin Cheng, was the first one sent to the battlefield in District 9 by my grandfather. He led a division to repel 30,000 EU troops at Beifengkou."

"I've heard about that." Qin Yu nodded.

"After that military conflict, my fourth uncle's troops were stationed next to District 9. Within two years, and I don't know how my grandfather operated, he actually had my fourth uncle's troops change their banners and be officially absorbed into the District 9." Lin Nianlei said softly: "Maybe it was because the sergeants in District 9 were relatively weak at that time, and the higher-ups reached some kind of consensus."

Qin Yu's current rank is not yet able to fully figure out the true intention of the Lin family's old man, but he can still understand the general direction.

The top political and military leaders in the Ninth District must have been leaning toward the Eighth and Seventh Districts. At that time, the Ninth District's military strength was relatively weak, so it seemed very reasonable to take advantage of the situation and absorb Lin Cheng's troops to maintain stability. Moreover, he could secretly make good friends with the political leaders of the Eighth District, acquiescing to their military and political power and entering his own area.

When Qin Yu thought of this, he was even more shocked by Mr. Lin's energy. Because stationing in District 9 is obviously an excellent political layout opportunity. If the Lin family can finally get it, it is enough to explain a lot of problems.

The two were chatting happily when the front door suddenly opened, and a well-maintained woman about fifty years old walked into the house carrying a bag.

"mom!"

Lin Nianlei immediately stood up and shouted.

"Hello, aunt!" Qin Yu quickly stood up.

"Let me introduce to you, this is... the Qin Yu I told you." Lin Nianlei leaned over, took her mother's arm, and said in a rare and greasy voice: "Qin Yu, this is my lovely mother, Zhang Ms. Lan."

"Hello, Auntie." Qin Yu walked over and stretched out his palm.

"Hello." Zhang Lan shook hands with Qin Yu and said with a chuckle, "You guys can sit down wherever you want. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. I'll come down later."

"Okay." Qin Yu nodded.

After Zhang Lan changed her shoes, she turned around and glanced at the coffee table. She immediately smiled and said to Leilei, "Your little friend is here and you don't even get some fruit to eat. It's rude."

"Oops, I forgot."

"Xiao Guo, we have guests at home, please get some fruit."

"OK."

"Xiao Qin, you guys sit down, I'll go up first." Zhang Lan gave people a very well-educated feeling, both in appearance and in conversation. His words were tactful and kind.

After saying that, Zhang Lan walked upstairs, and Qin Yu and Hanhan sat on the sofa again.

About ten minutes passed.

The two aunts carried the dishes and placed them on the dining table. Zhang Lan, wearing home sportswear, led his son Lin Xiao down together.

"When will my dad come back?" Hanhan asked standing next to the sofa.

"It's almost time. I called him just now and he's on the way." Zhang Lan replied, turning to look at Qin Yu: "Come here, let's eat."

"Hey, okay." Qin Yu walked over.

"Mama, this is the gift Qin Yu bought for you." Lin Hanhan started to show off again.

Zhang Lan took the gift, opened it in front of Qin Yu, took a look at it, nodded with a smile: "It's very good, thank you, Xiao Qin."

"You're welcome, Auntie."

"Come on, have a seat!" Zhang Lan handed the gift to the aunt, sat down at the dining table with the three children, and greeted with a smile: "Let's start."

"Wait a minute, uncle." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"No need to wait, he's a senior. He won't eat at this hour, so he will just sit for a while when he comes back." Zhang Lan smiled.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door and heavy footsteps. Lin Hanhan suddenly grinned: "Ah, my dear father is back."

In fact, Lin Nianlei rarely used such a playful tone to chat with her parents, but today she acted like an unusual little girl, trying her best to be coquettish and cute.

Qin Yu stood up and was about to go to the corridor to greet him when he saw a tall man with half-white hair walking in.
