Chapter 56
In the evening, at the dinner table, Gu Lin discussed the matter with his family.
"The superior wants to transfer the work, arrange for me to go for advanced studies, and my position will be promoted. After the advanced studies, I will be re-arranged for work. Of course, if you don't want to leave the island, you can stay. If you want to leave, let's go together, your mother and I They are all from Qingcheng, I want to study and work in Qingcheng in the future. What do you think?" Gu Lin said.
"Leaving Qiongya Island? I never thought about leaving." Nannan said.
Doudou said: "I don't know who always says that they have never seen the world outside the island and want to see it."
"It is Nannan who wants to fly freely in the outside world like Haiyan." Beibei joked about the second brother.
"I can't bear to part with the seafood on the island, such as giant grouper, sea chariot, conch snail, abalone, and big crab. How can there be so much seafood away from here? Even pork needs a ticket, and we can't even eat pork." Nan Nan said. DouDou drew a cake for him and said, "But Qingcheng has a museum, a zoo, a library, and an ice skating rink. It snows in winter
. Don't you want to see it snow?"
I have never seen snow, and there are TVs in the camp. Sometimes they are allowed to enter the camp to watch TV. I have seen snow once or twice on TV. Snowflakes" Imagine what snow looks like.
"I want to see snowfall, ice skating and snowball fights, but there is still no pork to eat." Nan Nan said, his entanglement is whether there is pork to eat.
Lin Qiao accepted this matter well. They have stayed on the island for more than ten years. The military transfer work is the most normal. Some soldiers who have been transferred to work after a few years have to drag their families to change places. She said: "This is a big event for our family. No wonder you are full of things to say when you come back. You just look determined. Anyway, we will follow you. What do you think is better for your work? As long as our family Together, I can go anywhere."
"My wife is still considerate." Gu Lin said. After staying in one place for a long time, he becomes lazy, and he is unwilling to move, but reason tells him that the arrangement of his superiors is absolutely beneficial to him. Lin Qiao's 100% support makes him feel at ease.
Doudou said, "Dad, you haven't been promoted all these years, and neither have other uncles on the island. It's been more than ten years, and it seems to have stopped.
" Long." Nan Nan complained.
Gu Linqu flicked his head and said, "The leader is in your way. I'll be thankful that you can be the leader when you reach forty." Lin Qiao said, "That's because you haven't seen your father before.
" When he was young, he was definitely the best young man I've ever seen."
"Listen to what your mother said." Gu Lin said proudly.
Doudou said: "I must be counted."
Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Okay, count DouDou."
Gu Lin said to DouDou again: "Everyone has contributed to the construction of the island, and this time they can all be promoted in compensation. "
The discussion went on and on, and the few children didn't express their views. Of course, they had to follow their parents.
After the children are asleep and the whole house is quiet, the couple will have time to discuss this matter.
Gu Lin told her that his advanced training is counted as a graduate student for two years, and he can be promoted before the advanced training, two levels at a time, and directly promoted to the chief of staff of the division.
Lin Qiao felt emotional, time passed too fast, in the blink of an eye in retrospect, Gu Lin was still so young and handsome in her eyes, but he was already forty years old, and she herself was thirty-four years old.
This age figure is very strange to her, and she always feels as if she has been stuck in her twenties.
"You were the head of the regiment when you were twenty-eight years old. You should have been the youngest head at that time. You are still the head of the regiment at the age of forty. It's all because of me and because of the Lin family that you didn't get promoted." As long as The family can be together, she doesn't care about Gu Lin's position, and Gu Lin accepts it frankly, but she feels somewhat regretful for delaying his bright future.
Gu Lin supported her shoulders with both hands, and said to her solemnly: "Lin Qiao, my job is quite special, and you have not affected me. Whether I get promoted or not has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it." Burden, besides, isn't there a chance to make up for it now? I was promoted to the division chief of staff directly after being promoted two grades in a row, because the superior wants to arrange for me to study, and it is very
good to be able to be promoted during the training period." Ability, referring to the previous promotion speed, he should be at the division level now, not the deputy division level.
Regardless of whether they are influenced by her or not, no matter what their current level is, they are not obsessed with it.
"You should have an idea in your heart, don't worry about us, we will follow you and follow your ideas." Lin Qiao said.
"I don't leave the island, and my position can be promoted to chief of staff, but I also want to go for further studies. The innovation of weapons and equipment has been too fast these years. My contact with the island is limited, and my knowledge reserve and awareness of new equipment have fallen behind. In the future, I will work for more than 20 years, which is a good opportunity for me." Gu Lin said.
"In this case, let's go. The Qingcheng you planned is very good. My family is there. We almost don't need to adapt to the new environment. The children can adapt quickly with us and with their relatives." Lin Qiao said.
Gu Lin was very moved by her daughter-in-law's absolute and unconditional trust and support, and said: "Okay, then I agree with the superior's arrangement, let's go back to Qingcheng." "There are many benefits to going back to Qingcheng,
my parents are old, I can be by their side, so it is convenient to go to school in this way, and it will be convenient to go to high school in the south and north in the future. In addition, my parents said before that it would be troublesome to transfer to Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School. Now you transfer work and he transfers to another school. " Lin Qiao said.
Gu Lin knew that even if she went to other places, Lin Qiao would still be able to list a lot of advantages, which only showed that the daughter-in-law was willing to support her.
He put his arms around Lin Qiao and said, "Okay, then I will reply to my superiors and agree to the arrangement. As for your job, there will be new people to take over." The next day's breakfast was corn tortillas, shrimp and crab porridge, and boiled white rice porridge
. It was smashed, and there were about two catties of shrimp and four crabs in it.
At the dinner table, Gu Lin told the children about the joint decision of the couple. He said: "You all have to be prepared mentally, we are all going back to Qingcheng." To this, Doudou had no
objection at all, and he accepted it easily this decision.
Nan Nan asked: "Will the fathers of Xiaowan'er and Jindou transfer to Qingcheng?"
Gu Lin said: "It depends on their wishes.
" Let's play together." Beibei said. Doudou was worried
about his younger brother's disappointment, so he comforted him and said, "Jiaqi, Xiaoshu, and Mimi will play with you when we go back, and you will definitely have new friends."
Should I go? If I can’t take my time with me, I don’t want to go.”
Lin Qiao didn’t tell her children, she once wrote to Lin Zhenkai, asking him to go to the library to check, and found out that the average lifespan of macaques is fifteen years, and now they are all empty. Already twelve or thirteen years old, it is still very flexible and healthy, but according to the average age, it is already old, and they will definitely give it to Kong Kong to retire.
Doudou said, "Yes, Kongkong is domesticated. If we don't raise it and release it in the wild, we probably won't survive."
Nannan said, "How could it be released in the wild? Even if we don't want it, the children on the island will rush to get it. They are all very jealous of our empty house."
Gu Lin touched the girl's hair and said, "Of course we have to take it away, but you can't raise monkeys casually in Qingcheng, and you need to apply for a permit from the forestry department. Let’s do it, girl, don’t worry.”
Beibei was pleasantly surprised, her big eyes flickered, and she said, “Father, this is great, then I’m going to take Kongkong back and take good care of it.”
Lin Qiao smiled and said: “ See how much your dad loves you three."
——Gu
Lin was promoted to the commander directly by two ranks, and most of his officers were promoted to two ranks, Zhao Qiangguo is now the regiment commander, and he will be the highest-ranking cadre on the island in the future After Gu Lin returned to Qingcheng, he had to participate in two years of advanced training, and most of his subordinates remained in Qiongya Island.
Summer vacation is a good time to move, the children have time, the temperature difference between the north and the south is not big, and there is no need to change clothes from south to north.
Another military doctor came to the island to take over Lin Qiao's job. Lin Qiao started to pack her luggage after completing the job handover. There were not many big luggage, only the sewing machine and radio, and other daily necessities such as pots, pans and pans had to be taken away. The same as when they came, these items will be sent out of the island, and they will be pulled back to Qingcheng with military trucks. The main reason is that the three children have a lot of things, and they are not happy to simplify any things, so they can only pack them in advance and return to Qingcheng for good luck.
When I returned to Qingcheng, I bought six hard sleeper tickets. There were upper, middle and lower berths. There were six beds in a cubicle, and one of the beds was empty.
Sleep in your own little bed on the floor.
South, North, and North have never taken a train, and they have never traveled far. When they left the island, they thought they would never come again. The scenery, the freshness comes up, and the sorrow of parting is forgotten.
Ordinary trainees only have dormitories and no family rooms, but Gu Lin’s situation is different. He was transferred back to Qingcheng with his family and stayed in Qingcheng to work in the future. They were assigned to the family building with three bedrooms and one living room, three bedrooms, There is a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room of about 20 square meters. Such housing conditions were quite good in the late 1970s. What's more, there are ready-made furniture inside, including beds, cabinets, cabinets, writing desks, bookshelves, and sofas. You don't need to buy them yourself, they are all 80% new. Their luggage has already arrived, most of them are the luggage of the three children and they pack it themselves. Lin Qiao and Gu Lin are very relaxed. They are mainly in charge of the kitchen and living room. In less than two hours, the whole house is tidy. together. After packing the luggage, the first thing to do was to go back to the courtyard. It was Wednesday and everyone had to go to work. Xu Manzhi had already retired. She and her children were waiting for them at home. Lin Qiao also met her grandfather who came back from Hong Kong City grandmother. The old couple was worried that their family had just come back from a long way away, and now they live in a courtyard. Lin Zhenkai’s family of three have moved to live in the courtyard of the film manufacturer. Now the four rooms are one for the old couple, one for Lin Peiyuan, one for Xu Manzhi, and one for the other. Room for living room and cooking.
As soon as Lin Qiao's family entered the door, Li Muhua looked her up and down, then hugged his granddaughter, crying with joy, "I haven't seen my eldest granddaughter for so many years, I am relieved to see that you are all well." Never thought she could see her dear grandparents again.
The old couple are both in good spirits, especially the grandma, who is full of white hair, but has an elegant posture. Lin Qiao thinks she will be thankful when she is 80 years old and will be in the state of grandma.
When Lin Qiao introduced Gu Lin to his grandparents, Lin Xianwang repeatedly praised him: "There is not a single official in our Lin family, but there is an official son-in-law. Look at our son-in-law's talent." Gu Lin was a little embarrassed:
" Grandpa, don't say that I am an official, I just serve the people."
The three children also met their grandpa and grandma, and they were pulled over by Xiaoshu, Lin Jiaqi, and Mimi to talk affectionately. The six children All very happy.
Xu Manzhi prepared a lot of ingredients and began to prepare dinner. In the evening, Lin Peiyuan, Lin Huaixuan and Lin Zhenkai's family came back one after another, and the four rooms suddenly became very crowded and lively.
Their family has lifted the shackles of the times, is healthy and safe, and has their own satisfactory jobs. Now they are a reunited and happy family.
——When
returning home, Lin Qiao wanted to take the three big camphorwood boxes of clothes under Xu Manzhi's bed back to her home.
The couple opened the box to look, and Xu Manzhi said: "I kept these clothes well, and I put mothballs in them, and I take them out to dry every year, and they are still very new." Lin Qiao was very happy, there was a faint stain on the clothes
. Camphor smell, no deformation and discoloration.
Ten years have passed, these clothes are not outdated at all, much more beautiful than her current clothes, she has not gained weight, and she can still wear them.
"These clothes can be worn, so I don't need to buy new clothes." Lin Qiao said.
The jeep couldn't fit three camphor boxes, so after Gu Lin sent the four of his mothers home, he even came back to pull them.
When the clothes were shipped home, Lin Qiao couldn't wait to pick out some clothes and change into them.
Her long black hair was combed in a complicated style and tied behind her head. A long gray wool coat outlined her curvaceous waist. The red scarf around her neck set off her crystal-clear and fair skin. She even wore sunglasses.
The wool coat with excellent texture outlines her graceful figure.
Compared with the simple dress on the island, it seems to be a different person.
Gu Lin and the three children's eyes brightened, and Doudou felt that the mother overlapped with the mother in the photo in memory.
"Mom is so pretty." Beibei said.
Lin Qiao stroked her braids and said, "When you are eighteen or nineteen years old, mother will also buy nice clothes to dress you up." Gu Lin looked at his daughter-in-law. It turned out that Miss
Lin was like this more than ten years ago. There is really a big gap between the two.
"You took off your sunglasses." Gu Lin said.
Lin Qiao took off her sunglasses, revealing her autumnal eyes. Gu Lin felt that she was his wife. Sure enough, the sunglasses gave people a sense of distance.
But Lin Qiao put his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Gu Lin looked around and said, "It's so dark, why are you wearing this thing, it looks good?" Lin Qiao said, "It looks good, the people in the pictorial are
just Wear sunglasses."
He imagined, if he had seen such a fashionable Lin Qiao in the theater back then, would he have looked at her more, would he have fallen in love with her immediately.
If he glanced at her, sure he would!
The problem is that if she is dressed like this, he may not even look at it, and just ignore it.
Gu Lin took off the sunglasses, Nan Nan had been waiting by the side, immediately took the sunglasses and put them on her face.
He looked around: "Why is it getting dark, it looks like it's cloudy."
Nan Nan ran towards the mirror holding the mirror legs, saw himself in the mirror, and exclaimed: "Wow, this is too foreign."
The three children huddled in front of the mirror, and Beibei said, "Second brother, put it on for me."
Putting the large sunglasses on Beibei's small face, Beibei said, "It looks good, so fashionable."
Gu Lin said: " What kind of aesthetics these three children have, it's up to you."
"The three of us all have vision," Lin Qiao said.
"You always wear this from now on?" Gu Lin asked.
Lin Qiao nodded: "It's a pity not to wear these clothes. My father has been rehabilitated, so I don't have to worry about it. Besides, there are many people on the street who are dressed beautifully." Gu Lin said: "But more
people Her clothes are still green, blue, and patched, all plain."
"You don't want me to wear these clothes?" Lin Qiao asked.
"It's so beautiful, I think it will be too eye-catching." Gu Lin said.
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "I'm already thirty-three or four years old. I can't compare with girls in their twenties. I won't be eye-catching at all."
Gu Lin insisted: "I definitely will. Good-looking is good-looking, regardless of age. No matter what you are in the crowd, you are the most outstanding." "
Well, I will only dress nicely when I go out with you, and keep it simple." Lin Qiao didn't think so, but she still said so.
"Okay." She accepted her suggestion so quickly, and Gu Lin was very satisfied.
"But you can show it to me at home." Gu Lin said.
"Wear it when I'm cooking?" Lin Qiao said.
Gu Lin said: "Yes."
Seeing her serious look, Lin Qiao smiled and said, "You think beautifully."
Gu Lin will not start classes until September, and he is rarely relaxed. During this time, he finally has time to visit friends, Comrades and current superiors.
Lin Qiao was temporarily assigned to work in the pharmacy of the military hospital. The job was good, easy and not tiring. She had lived on the island at a slow pace for many years, and she almost did the work of a barefoot doctor. She recognized a master who taught her a lot of clinical medicine. Knowledge even guided her to perform the surgery, but the doctor had problems.
Lin Qiao doesn't have any big ambitions now, as long as the work is easy.
On Sunday, their family was called back to have dinner by Lin Peiyuan again. Chapter 57
"Is it because I'm old now that your mother can't recognize me anymore." After eating, Lin Peiyuan looked at the white hair dotted around the temples in the mirror and asked.
Years have smoothed his edges and corners, but after all, Lin Peiyuan still has a dignified appearance.
Lin Qiao said: "No, Dad still looks very young. He looks like a beautiful tree, he is imposing, and he speaks elegantly."
Although his temperament is not as good as he is getting older, these words are still suitable for him.
Lin Zhenkai said: "Yes, Dad, you look younger than me."
Lin Peiyuan: "..."
The girl used so many compliments, but Lin Peiyuan didn't believe it even more, and only thought that the girl was trying to make him happy. Seeing Lin Peiyuan sighing, this was different from his usual indifferent personality, Lin Qiao asked: "Dad, do you really care if
my mother recognizes you?"
Your mother lived an ordinary and normal old age together." Lin Peiyuan said.
Lin Qiao inspired him: "Dad, life was too hard when you were sent down. Is it possible that you longed for a normal life? It doesn't matter if you have my mother or not."
Lin Peiyuan said, "Don't mislead me . This is my wish before I was sent down to live together."
Lin Qiao comforted him: "The good news is that my mother just doesn't know you, she still remembers Lin Peiyuan, and she still loves Lin Peiyuan."
Lin Peiyuan was obviously very troubled, pacing back and forth: " What should I do?"
Lin Qiao: "Seek good luck?"
Lin Peiyuan didn't hear any good words from his children, so he waved his hands and said, "Okay, you guys hurry up."
"Then let's go." Lin Qiao said .
"If you don't go to work on Sunday, find a barber shop and accompany me to get your hair dyed." Lin Peiyuan said.
If he looked younger, at least he looked like ten years ago. I don't know if Xu Manzhi can remember it.
"Okay." Lin Qiao said.
On Sunday, Lin Qiao took him to a barber shop near the camp to dye his hair black, and left the same big back as before he was released: "Do you look younger now?" Lin Peiyuan himself was very satisfied, except for some wrinkles on his face
, It looks pretty much the same as it did before the release.
Lin Qiao had no choice but to praise her father.
"Lin Qiao, you have to help me. This matter is strange. I suspect that your mother is pretending not to know me. You have to test it out to see if she is real or not." Lin Peiyuan said.
Lin Qiao shook her head: "Dad, I've been busy recently. You spend time with my mother day and night, so you have to test it yourself. That's all right, young dad, hurry up and meet your partner." Lin Peiyuan: "..." Returned home
with
confidence Sure enough, Xu Manzhi looked at him from head to toe, and the person in front of him looked ten years younger than before!
She said: "Who are you looking so young for? You are already quite old, and you still want to hook up?"
Lin Peiyuan was pleasantly surprised in the same tone as before: "Man Zhi, you remembered, I am Lin Peiyuan, do you look the same as before you were sent down?"
Xu Manzhi shook her head: "No matter how hard you try to look younger, you are still a counterfeit."
Lin Peiyuan: "..."
——It
is still summer vacation, Xiaoshu and Lin Jiaqi and Mimi take Lin Qiao's three children around Qingcheng, and Lin Qiao often goes back to her mother's house on weekends.
Aunt Hua always comes to chat with the old lady of the Lin family during this period of time. The old lady used to be a rich lady and a rich capitalist, but now she is not just like them, she is a commoner who lives in a courtyard!
She is most happy to see such a gap between her neighbors. Aunt Hua has enough sense of superiority psychologically, so she is very warm to the old lady of the Lin family.
On this day, Xu Songqiu called the construction workers to add another room to the rent, but was stopped by the widow Zhou and her daughter. Mrs. Hua watched the excitement for a while, but she couldn't see Mrs. Lin in the crowd, so she went directly to the house. Call someone at the door.
Xu Songqiu and Wei Huimin probably thought about the addiction to living in the master room, and moved from the family room in the factory to the master room in the backyard of the courtyard, but Lin Qiao asked Xu Manzhi as soon as she came back. Be well-behaved, never bewitching the Lin family. The two were standing at the door chatting, and Granny Hua was gossiping: "Deputy Director Wei's younger brother has no house to live in, so he wanted to build another one at the door. Widow Zhou lived in the east wing, which happened to be built in front of her house. Widow Zhou It's making trouble." "Where is it built? In front of the East Wing? Next to the toon tree?" Mrs. Lin asked. The old man is different from the old lady, the old man only cares about his own people and things, but the old lady has already inquired about all relevant people and Xu Manzhi. She knew that Wei Huimin and Xu Songqiu were a couple, so she lived in the main room of the third courtyard. "No, the branches of the tree are all cut down, and I plan to dig the tree away, and build it there. After digging the tree, I lay the foundation, which just blocks half of Widow Zhou's house. Do you think Widow Zhou will be happy? I'm happy." Mrs. Hua said. The old lady of the Lin family was listening nonchalantly, but when she heard this, she suddenly became energetic, her eyes measured, her lips moved, and the words that almost blurted out turned around in her mouth and then swallowed back into her stomach, saying: " This house belongs to the machinery factory, has the factory approved him to build a house?" The things of her family are buried in the ground. In fact, what she originally wanted to talk about was why the house was built. Who allowed him to build it without permission? Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Mrs. Hua took a step forward, lowered her voice and began to challenge, saying, "If ordinary workers might not be able to build this, think about it. He is the deputy director of the factory, so he just needs to approve it for himself." Mrs. Lin The wife raised her eyelids and glanced at the old lady Hua, and asked if your factory has approved it, and didn't answer the key questions, just to instigate trouble! Lin Qiao interrupted and asked, "Is it a metal house or a brick house?"
Mrs. Hua said: "It must be a brick house. Letting his younger brother and younger brother live in a metal house will make it difficult for Deputy Director Wei." "
What right does he have to build a house randomly? "Grandma said, as if this matter had a lot to do with her, she moved quickly, and she had already walked to the door of the house while speaking.
It is enough to live with the neighbors in the courtyard, as long as they can coexist peacefully. Lin Qiao doesn't want to get involved in the neighbors' affairs, nor does she want to have conflicts with Wei Huimin and Xu Songqiu. superior. The two of them walked a few meters away from the door of the house. Xu Manzhi chased them out, quickly followed up with grandma, and said, "Mom, it has nothing to do with our family if they want to build a house. You can just watch the fun. Don't worry about this nosy business at such an old age." " Grandma listened attentively to the commotion in the Sanjin courtyard, and nodded, "I'm going to watch the excitement." Xu Manzhi looked at grandma's expression, she didn't believe her, she looked at Lin Qiao, and said helplessly: "I'm not worried that you'll be angry about other people's affairs and your health won't be worth it. I'll go with you." Mrs. Hua happily followed behind, and Mrs. Lin stepped forward. After entering the yard, many neighbors had already surrounded, and the widow Zhou cried and complained: "Why do you put the kitchen at the door of my house and cover the windows? Then my house is not as dark as a coal mine, and the lights have to be turned on during the day." , what kind of mind do you have, you will bully our orphans and widows. God, open your eyes, this is no way for people to survive." Her daughter was twelve or thirteen years old, her eyes were red, and she followed Her mother cried together. Neighbors have everything to say, some say that the house is not enough to live in and let him build it, some say why block the door of the house. The old lady of the Lin family was very imposing. She first glanced at the toon tree that had been cut down bare and only the trunk remained, and then looked at a small area circled by white lime on the ground, and said she would never allow digging on this land.
She directly said excuse me, let me go, and when she left the crowd and walked in front of Xu Songqiu, the old lady looked her up and down, her eyes were sharp, and she said with a sense of justice: "Whether the factory has approved you to build a house or not, why do you object?" People's door? Just because your partner is the deputy factory director?"
His voice was full of anger.
Absolutely stand on the moral high ground.
Neighbors would only talk on the sidelines, and no one stood up to speak to Widow Zhou.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Mrs. Lin looked around with sharp eyes and said, "My old lady can't stand this kind of bullying. I will take care of this matter today, no matter where your house is built, no matter where Standing in front of someone’s house, as long as they don’t like it, you can’t build it.”
Lin Qiao applauded grandma secretly, thinking that she can stand up to fight injustice for others.
Widow Zhou first blinked at Mrs. Lin, then cried louder, looking very weak, sobbing and said: "Old lady, you are a good person, and you still speak for our mothers at such an old age, I will definitely do it in my next life." I will repay you like a horse."
Seeing Mrs. Lin, Xu Songqiu felt that a thorn in his heart was very uncomfortable. Since Lin Peiyuan was rehabilitated, the situation of the Lin family has improved again. The brothers and sisters of the Lin family, including the daughter-in-law and son-in-law, all have good jobs. Well, the old lady of the Lin family managed to avoid those years and came back from Hong Kong City. Although she is old, she looks very expensive.
Although the Lin family also lived in a courtyard now, they were still out of reach for her.
The machinery factory was originally a key factory in Qingcheng, and it ranks first in the city in the annual profit turned over. His object is the deputy factory director, but the situation of the machinery factory has not been as good as before, although in the dream Wei Huimin has been transferred to the Bureau of Commerce as the director , but he is not bad as the deputy factory director now.
But the Lin family still doesn't take her partner seriously, let alone her.
What's more, after more than ten years, having children, running the house, and going to work, which woman will not grow old. At that time, when he heard that Lin Qiao was coming back, Xu Songqiu wished to see a Lin Qiao who was tanned by the sea breeze and sunburned and had rough skin. He did not expect that Lin Qiao was still so young and good-looking.
She must have a happy life in order to stay young and beautiful.
Thinking of this, Xu Songqiu felt even more uncomfortable, but she was very good at hiding her emotions, and explained in a nice way: "Grandma, our house is really not enough to live in, it is equivalent to having an extra family, and we don't need to build an extra room." No way, we have been neighbors for so many years, and everyone has difficulties. We told Director Zheng, who considered my family’s difficulties and agreed to build a house for us. We built the house at the door of our house, or in the yard Where else can we build the house, you can find a place for me, besides, the house will not block all of Mrs. Zhou's house, but only a little bit." Widow Zhou cried and shouted: "Who said it only blocked a little bit, look
! The lime lines you sprinkled on the ground have reached my door. If you really build a house, my door will be a wall." Lin Qiao asked: "Is it the factory manager who asked you to build the house to the door of the factory manager's house? There is a written Documents? Show them to everyone! How much contribution have you made to the factory? The housing problem of relatives also needs to be solved by the factory? Director Zheng is very busy every day, but he cares about the employees very much, and will fight for various benefits for the employees. He will never let you build the house to the door of Mrs. Zhou's house, everyone is watching here, Xu Songqiu, don't use chicken feathers as an arrow to ruin the reputation of Director Zheng." Put the high hat on to Director Zheng first . In fact, building a house is such a big deal, everyone in the courtyard knows that Director Zheng will definitely not admit that he agrees to build the house in front of someone else's house, even if he said so at the time, he has to change his words. Xu Songqiu frowned slightly, Lin Qiao also came to fight against it, Feng Shui took turns, once the exercise was over, people like them had no scruples at all! What did she say? Of course, Factory Director Zheng only agreed in general, and would not say that you can build a house in front of someone's house! Widow Zhou's mother and daughter were easy to deal with, but it was troublesome when the Lin family interfered. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Songqiu blushed even though she was able to control her expression very well. She knew that she couldn't pull Director Zheng into the water at this time, otherwise they would have good fruit to eat. She just wanted to get away and wait for Wei Huimin to come back to discuss with him. .
It was of course his idea to build a house for Wei Huimin's parents, but he asked his wife to take the lead, and he maintained an image of being just, majestic and upright, and then came out at critical times, and hid out under the pretext of something happening in the factory.
"Song Qiu, when you were young, I taught you that you must be upright and upright, and you can't violate your conscience. Think about it, have I said this? I can't imagine that I haven't seen you behave like this for many years and bully orphans and widows who work in the same factory. Come on." Mrs. Lin sighed for a while, heartbroken for her failure in education.
Xu Songqiu was so stunned that he couldn't find anything to say: "..." Mrs. Lin's ability to go online is extraordinary.
Everyone seemed to be reminded, only then did they realize that Xu Songqiu was raised by the Lin family, and that when the movement came, he would bite the Lin family back, he must be a white-eyed wolf.
More and more people took the side of Widow Zhou, accusing Xu Songqiu of building indiscriminately, or they were worried that Deputy Factory Manager Wei's house was built in front of their own house, so they had to speak out.
Cutting down trees and laying foundations failed, so Xu Songqiu could only apologize with a smile and say something soft, and asked the two workers who had been invited to go back first.
Widow Zhou wiped her tears and thanked Mrs. Lin: "Auntie, thanks to you this time, the tree should have been brought down, the foundation should have been laid, and it's useless to say any words of gratitude, why don't I kowtow to you with my daughter?" "
Mrs. Lin hurriedly stopped her, and her tone was very kind: "Don't cry, we are not afraid of troubles. Anyway, as long as I am here, I will not let your mother's house be blocked by others." Watch the
excitement Most of the neighbors admire Mrs. Lin. After all, no matter who encounters a tyrannical force, they hope that someone can help them get justice.
The neighbors dispersed now, and Lin Qiao and the three also walked towards the second courtyard.
Only then did Xu Manzhi say: "Mom, I admire you for fighting for the orphans and widows, but there are so many young people in the yard, it's really not your turn to stand out. I'm worried about your health." Mrs. Lin didn't listen to the persuasion, her
attitude Just as tough as before: "Why do you build indiscriminately? As long as I am here, no one will be allowed to build a house there."
At such an advanced age, she actually doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the Lin family's things are still buried in the ground, even if the Lin family can't get them back, they can't be poached.
Xu Manzhi wanted to say that this yard is no longer ours, we don't care so much, and worried that the old lady would be upset, so after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.
After returning home and closing the door, Li Muhua asked: "Is the machinery factory not doing well now?" Xu Manzhi replied:
"It turns out that the machinery factory ranks first among Qingcheng factories in the amount of profits turned over. Now even the canning factory Nothing compares."
Li Muhua had mixed feelings, and said subjectively: "With someone like Wei Huimin as the deputy factory director, can it be good?"
Xu Manzhi said in his heart that in fact, the poor efficiency cannot be entirely attributed to the Wei Huimin doesn't have that much power.
There was a lot of noise about building a house, not to mention the big courtyard, even the family courtyard in the factory was discussing this matter. There were many people looking for a place to build a house at will. At that time, Director Zheng just agreed casually. Now I heard that Deputy Factory Director Wei Taking advantage of his power to bully others, or even relying on his power, to solve the housing problem for relatives and harm the interests of employees, Director Zheng felt a headache when he heard these things, and he directly stopped the construction of houses, no matter where they were built.
Besides, Xu Songqiu felt very aggrieved. When Wei Huimin came home, she wanted to tell him that the Lin family was here for the two of them, because they deliberately interfered with building a house because of past grievances.
"You are also the deputy factory manager. The house at home is not enough to live in. The factory has to solve it. Why should the Lin family interfere? They just don't pay attention to you. They are not officials, can they control it?" Xu Songqiu He kept provoking and provoking troubles, wanting Wei Huimin, the deputy director of the factory, to play a role, suppress the Lin family, let the Lin family see his ability, let the Lin family see who is capable now.
Unexpectedly, the other party said calmly with a cold face: "I told you not to build houses at random, and don't do something special just because I am the deputy factory manager. One of my principles is to put the interests of employees first. If you don't listen, If you insist on building one more room, don’t build it, let’s forget about it.”
Xu Songqiu was startled, his mouth was in a circle and he couldn't close it, he was not going to deal with the Lin family, Wei Huimin was talking to her in an official tone, obviously his younger brother wanted a house, and he said he wanted to build a house, so he pushed it all on her.
This is his usual style. Other men are indifferent to their daughter-in-law, but Wei Huimin is indifferent to her. Even if she is not willing to do all important things, she has to follow his wishes. She has been forbearing, pretending to be a good wife Mother, it was only in exchange for the harmony and tranquility of the family, and in exchange for an enviable life, but she was about to suffocate internal injuries.
When Lin Zhenkai came back and heard about it, he said confidently to his family: "You don't need to negotiate with Xu Songqiu and his wife, someone will punish them, just wait and see." Chapter 58
Walking to the door, I happened to meet Hua Xiaolan.
"Lin Qiao, we haven't had a good chat since you came back." Hua Xiaolan said in an affectionate tone.
Lin Qiao looked at her, without stopping, and said casually, "Isn't it a few times I've met her before, what's the matter?" At first, she just passed by and just greeted her casually,
but Hua Xiaolan caught up with her. , her warm tone remained unchanged: "Hey, what can I do? Hasn't it been a long time?"
Lin Qiao knew that Hua Xiaolan wanted to talk to her, so she slowed down and waited for her to speak, but the other party didn't go straight to her. Theme, start to reminisce and talk about some miscellaneous things.
After returning to Qingcheng, Xu Manzhi told Lin Qiao about the situation of these acquaintances.
Aunt Hua has three daughters, and Hua Xiaolan is the youngest. Aunt Hua wants her to find a door-to-door son-in-law, but there are very few who are willing to be door-to-door son-in-law with good conditions. He wanted to find someone better than Wei Huimin, so he delayed for several years, and married a welder from a mining company in the 27th and 8th.
The welder is honest and honest. Due to work reasons, she often eats and lives in the mine. Hua Xiaolan thinks her husband is dull, uneducated and unhygienic.
The welder is very kind to Hua Xiaolan, and all her salary is given to Hua Xiaolan except the meal money.
Later, two daughters were born, and the relationship between husband and wife has not improved.
At that time, Wei Huimin married Xu Songqiu. As the former's admirer, Hua Xiaolan was very unwilling, and this unwillingness has continued to this day.
She pays special attention to these two couples, and some time ago, she discovered Xu Songqiu's great secret.
This big discovery made her so excited that she couldn't sleep, but after all, Wei Huimin is the deputy director of the factory, and she is very kind to Xu Songqiu. Even though she guessed in her heart and thought it was probably true, she still had some scruples, and it was not convenient to find someone to gossip Sharing, almost suffocated her.
Seeing Lin Qiao, I couldn't wait to chat with her, to find out if she knew about this situation.
"Have you been in contact with Xu Songqiu for so many years? If she has any important events, she will probably keep it from you." Hua Xiaolan stared at Lin Qiao's face and asked.
She was a little irritable, Lin Qiao's face hadn't changed much, it was still as delicate and beautiful as before.
Lin Qiao knew that the other party was spying on her, so she asked calmly: "What's important for her?"
Hua Xiaolan pretended to be surprised: "You and her are cousins after all, it seems that she really doesn't tell you. "
Lin Qiao said: "Don't be foolish, what's the matter, just tell me directly."
Guess Lin Qiao really doesn't know, Hua Xiaolan is playing tricks, trying to interest Lin Qiao, and then go to understand the situation.
"You don't think there is anything wrong with her? As long as you observe more, people with discerning eyes will definitely be able to see it." Hua Xiaolan's words were very vague, which made people want to explore.
But that might work for ordinary people, but it's totally useless for Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao's tone was flat: "I don't have any contact with her, the relationship with her was broken long ago, I'm not interested in her or her family, I don't care about anything about her."
Hua Xiaolan was unwilling to fail, racking her brains to think Thinking and crazily hinting at Lin Qiao: "Then let's not talk about this, it seems that your cousins are really breaking up, Lin Qiao, all three of your children look alike to you, even the one you adopted, but you Cousin's son doesn't look like her at all."
That was all she could say, and any more she was afraid would reveal the great unproven secret she had discovered.
Lin Qiao raised the corners of her lips: "You must have something to say, if you don't say it directly, then I'll leave."
The development of the alliance, or let Lin Qiao go to the front failed, looking at Lin Qiao's back, Hua Xiaolan was stunned. Standing on the spot: "..."
——
After dinner, Chen Qicheng came. Over the years, he has also been promoted two levels, and now he is the battalion commander.
He knew that Gu Lin had time to visit his comrades-in-arms and relatives and friends, but he didn't go to see him. He felt a little bit uncomfortable, so he had to go to Gu Lin's house by himself.
"I'm getting a divorce," he said.
Seeing that the couple were not very interested, I deliberately emphasized my tone: "I said that I am going to get a divorce. I used to think that baby relatives were unreliable, and women forced by their parents were also unreliable. After so many years of fighting, both parties Exhausted, with no children or property, I got a certificate and left."
Gu Lin said flatly, "It's expected."
Doudou was particularly interested, and said, "Uncle Chen, I actually hope you have a harmonious family. I didn't expect you to have a harmonious family." You'll still get divorced."
Some people don't have a good life no matter how many times they start over.
Chen Qicheng said with emotion: "When I first saw you, you were only a little old, and now you can talk to me in an adult tone. Your parents should feel very fulfilled raising the three of you so big."
Suddenly I think it is also good to have children around your knees.
It's impossible to say that you don't envy him. Gu Lin is only three years older than him, but he is already a teacher, and he is the battalion commander. He has no family and no career.
For so many years, he didn't know how it was abandoned.
After chatting a few words, and when it was time to leave, Dou Dou chased them out. The two of them walked on the corridor, seeing no one around, Dou Dou asked: "Uncle Chen, if you have a chance to do it all over again, can you be reborn?" , what would you do?"
Chen Qicheng replied without even thinking: "Of course I won't divorce your mother, the one who will marry your mother will be me. If I can always be safe and secure, have a stable marriage and family, With goals and motivation, even if you don’t become a division commander, you should be able to become a team leader now.”
Doudou said that you are actually doing well now, at least you didn’t suffer from mental illness like in your previous life.
Doudou said: "Unfortunately, you will not be reborn with the memories of this life, you will still divorce my mother, no matter how you start again, you will spend your life in regret. My parents are destined fate."
"No, Doudou, can't you say something nice?" Chen Qicheng said, he had the illusion that the person in front of him was not a young man, but a wise man full of wisdom.
——I
just had dinner on Saturday night, and my grandparents, parents, and my second brother's family all came.
The living room was not small at first, but it seemed small when there were so many people. Lin Qiao also moved out the chairs from the third child's room for everyone to sit down, and poured tea for them all.
"Your naval compound is really magnificent." Lin Xianwang praised.
The old couple went through all the rooms, and Lin Xianwang said, "Your place is better. At least you can talk with the door closed. You can't even talk in the courtyard. Everything your family says has to be known." Li Muhua said, "Lin
Qiao , the place you live here is not spacious, and I even called your elder brother’s family, and it will get even more crowded later.” “We’re going to have
a family meeting later, your mother said your place is the largest, and I think it’s just average.” Lin Xianwang said .
Lin Qiao said: "Grandpa, grandma, compared with other homes, our housing conditions are good enough. Go and see other people's homes. There are still three generations living in a ten-square-meter house." After waiting for five minutes, the elder brother's family of
four They all came too. I heard that there was going to be a meeting, and the six children were very involved, and stood by the wall.
Grandpa looked at so many grandchildren, all of them were smart and happy, and he waved his hands: "There is something very important in today's meeting, but it has nothing to do with you children, you have to avoid it." "Grandpa, we are too.
" Family members, we have to listen to important matters." Doudou spoke first.
"Yes, Grandpa, we also have a meeting. If you think it's too small to get in the way, let them go, and I'll stay with Doudou." Xiaoshu said.
Lin Jiaqi quickly said, "Anyone who is younger than me is considered a child."
Lin Xianwang resolutely refused: "This is a big deal. Let you know that you will definitely talk nonsense and cause bad things.
" Take it away." Lin Qiao said.
DouDou took a look at his younger siblings, then reluctantly led a group of children to his room.
Lin Qiao closed the living room door and said, "Grandpa, it's time for the meeting."
Lin Xianwang cleared his throat and said, "Your grandma and I have been busy inquiring about the situation these days. The compound you live in is the old Lin family's house. Now our family lives in these four houses of the Housing Management Bureau, and the rest are houses of the machinery factory. It is unlikely that this house will be returned to our Lin family, but I heard that this house is being sold out. This is the ancestral property of the Lin family. I think about us You can buy the old house back."
Lin Peiyuan said: "Dad, I know that the yard is being sold out, and the machinery factory is going to build a new family building, which is enough to accommodate these workers. Besides, the machinery factory needs a sum of money to start a new production line. The leader wants to sell the yard, but it is said that the yard will be purchased first by the state unit or overseas Chinese."
Lin Xianwang said: "Since you know that, you still don't want to buy it? After the house is sold, you have to move out. Where do you live!"
Lin Zhenkai said: " Dad and I can apply for a dormitory with the unit. Anyway, there will be no place to live. Besides, Grandpa, how can we buy this yard? It costs 30,000 yuan to buy this yard. The leader of the machinery factory heard that the Lin family will buy it, maybe I will raise the price on the ground."
Lin Xianwang waved his hand: "Money is a trivial matter, I have enough money, but the problem is that this yard does not want to be sold to anyone at all, do we have the qualifications to buy it?" Lin Huaixuan said: "Grandpa, 30,000
yuan It’s really a lot, you have so much money in your hand, why do you have to buy a yard, the money will be gone if you buy a yard.”
Lin Xianwang was heartbroken, this family is not interested in the ancestral property!
He said: "You are also a person who has been abroad. Why do you seem to have seen the world? Thirty thousand is a lot, and you get a salary of more than one hundred. The average salary is 1,500 yuan, and 30,000 yuan is not much at all based on the salary in the port city.”
The prices in the mainland are also low, but based on the absolute value of the average salary, the wages in the port city have a crushing advantage, and many people are now trying to find ways Go to Hong Kong City to make a living.
Seeing that the whole family is not interested in buying a house, grandma thought that it was finally her turn to stimulate everyone. She said: "Peiyuan, Zhenkai, you don't have any fighting spirit at all. Even if you can share the house, it's not the unit's house, but the house." It's not a house like a pigeon cage. How can our old house be spacious enough for a whole family to live in. If we buy back the old house, we'll all move in."
Lin Qiao glanced at Gu Lin, let alone Gu Lin can't move, just He could move, but Lin Qiao didn't want to.
Small families are fine.
She immediately threw out the big news: "There are two large altars of gold bars buried under our old house. Last time Xu Songqiu's family wanted to build a kitchen. Why should I be nosy? The gold bars are buried in almost that place. You He said that if they were to start work, what would they do if they dug out the gold bars!"
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, everyone immediately became interested, and the room immediately became lively. There should indeed be gold bars.
She said: "If the people in the compound dig out the gold bars, it will be very lively. Maybe what will happen to the robbery and what will happen. Wei Huimin and his wife in our yard are as good as Hua Da Niang and Hua Xiaolan. I'm not a vegetarian."
Lin Zhen said with a smile: "Don't even think about it, there will definitely be a fight, and someone will hide the gold bars during the chaos. Maybe Wei Huimin will stand up and say that he will hand it over to the country, and then give it to Mi Part of it.”
Li Muhua said: “That’s why we called you for a meeting. Our Lin family has nothing left, we still have to buy the house back, and the gold bars are returned to the Lin family.” Lin Peiyuan said: “Since we have money, it’s
not You can’t buy it at all, Huaixuan, you can ask if the Lin family can buy this old house.”
He himself has no interest in the yard or gold bars, and thinks that he has a place to live, food and clothing, so it’s natural for such a big thing. to the eldest son.
Her father was very kind to her, and this matter should help, but she was not sure, and after thinking about it, she still didn't want to say it in front of so many people.
Lin Huaixuan said: "Okay, I'll go and ask the factory manager."
"I hope the Lin family can get back their ancestral property." Lin Xianwang said confidently.
——When
school started in autumn, Lin Qiao felt that life in the city was better. The three children all went to Qingcheng Middle School. Beibei is in junior high school, Doudou is in high school, Lin Jiaqi is in the second year of junior high, Xiaoshu is also in the third year of high school, only Lin Mimi is still in elementary school, but the distance between the elementary school and the middle school is only a few hundred meters.
The children may not meet each other at school, but knowing that they are in the same school gives them a psychological advantage.
The three children rode two bicycles to school, and Beibei was led by Doudou or Nannan on bicycles, and they went back together after school.
On the first day of school, Lin Qiao was of course going to send the children to school, and Gu Lin also started to attend classes. The military academy and the camp family courtyard were not together, so he could leave the camp every day without asking for leave.
This day, the two of them sent the three children to the entrance of the middle school together. Gu Lin was going to the military academy. The two separated at the intersection. Lin Qiao saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure flashing, and quickly chased after him.
Lin Qiao walked around the corner, and Huang Meiqin was standing by the wall, obviously waiting for her.
This is the first time that Lin Qiao has seen Huang Meiqin in many years. She was originally very handsome and her family was in good condition. There were many twists and turns. Although the hair was oiled, it was still dull and dull. There were many fine lines and spots on the face, and it was not the same as before.
"What are you doing at the school gate?" Lin Qiao asked.
Sure enough, Huang Meiqin said, "I'll take a look at Xiaoshu."
After a pause, she said, "Xiaoshu is my son. I want to see him, but I just came to the school gate to peek at him. I saw him carrying a schoolbag, I also feel relieved that she looks healthy and happy."
Huang Meiqin was also looking at Lin Qiao, and she was surprised that Lin Qiao has not only not looked old-fashioned these years, she has added a bit of mature charm, she is still bright and beautiful, and her appearance and temperament are not comparable to ordinary people.
Lin Qiao must have been living well these years.
Huang Meiqin just came to visit Xiaoshu secretly, and did not interfere with his life. Lin Qiao said in a very polite tone, "You know Xiaoshu doesn't need you to come and see him. He has parents and is doing well now. You'd better It’s best not to show up at all, so don’t bother him.”
“Lin Qiao, you are also a mother, of course your own child is deeply concerned, it’s impossible to be completely like a stranger, the older I get, the more I want to see my son.” Huang Meiqin’s heart ached say.
Lin Qiao said sarcastically: "I only know that mothers generally don't scold their sons capitalist brats, and don't let them go. He was so young at that time that he knew that this sentence was not good. You hurt his young son." Xinxin, now that he has grown up and has his own mother, you don’t need to visit him at this time. I suggest you do what you promised at the time. You didn’t raise Xiaoshu, and Xiaoshu won’t take care of you in the future. It’s best not to contact him Take care of yourself."
The two walked along the path, and the traffic became less and less. Huang Meiqin said, "Lin Qiao, I will accept whatever you say about me. At that time, something big happened to the Lin family, and I was very panicked. I was very scared and uneasy, and it was like being obsessed with ghosts at the time. Looking back, I can't imagine that I did all those things."
Lin Qiao almost blurted out: "This is the reason why you cheated in marriage and broke your shoes!"
Huang Meiqin: " ..."
Lin Qiao looked at each other, the two hadn't seen each other for many years, but Huang Meiqin didn't hide it when they met for the first time, she didn't pretend to have a good life, but sincerely repented, looking extremely depressed.
Lin Qiao didn't sympathize with her at all, she said: "If you regret it, there is no need to tell our Lin family, we have already forgotten you."
Huang Meiqin has only one thought now, regret! Heart-scratching regret! All these years, she has not been able to let go, and she has not been able to reconcile with herself who made the wrong decision at the beginning. However, this may have something to do with her having a bad life all the time.
If she can persist until Lin Huaixuan returns to China, there won't be any major ups and downs in these years, just pass by, then a family of three, or even four or five, can live happily.
Lin Huaixuan is still so outstanding, still young and handsome, and there is another woman beside him, that woman is younger and prettier than her, and the four of them look very happy and sweet.
The last time she saw that family at the entrance of the shopping mall, and when she thought about being alone, her regret and pain were almost unforgettable.
Moreover, the Lin family, which was in decline at the beginning, is now showing signs of revival.
"I know that the mistakes I made are irreparable, probably retribution. No matter what I do, I will not be able to have a decent life." Huang Meiqin said sadly.
She also wanted to show in front of her ex-sister-in-law that she didn't care, didn't regret it, and had a good life, but she couldn't pretend.
After Lin Qiao came back, Xu Manzhi had already gossiped with her about Huang Meiqin's current situation. She failed to get along with her, and later married an accountant in a chemical factory, and divorced in a hurry within two years. However, she was not very interested, and said: "I don't care how you are doing, I only care about Xiao Shu, you better stop coming to see him, it's completely unnecessary, it's best for him if you don't show up." Huang
Meiqin The voice was low: "I'm going abroad, to the United States, and I won't come to see Xiaoshu in the future."
Lin Qiao asked, "How did you go abroad?"
According to her understanding, most of the people who can go abroad now are government-sponsored personnel. How can ordinary people have the financial resources to go abroad for study, study, and investigation? At Huang Meiqin's age, she will not go to study abroad at her own expense, so she is going to work?
"Take refuge with relatives and go to work." Huang Meiqin said.
Lin Qiao understood that Huang Meiqin's thinking was quite fashionable. Nowadays, many people are crazy about learning English and want to go abroad to find gold.
Lin Qiao said, "No matter how you live, don't put your mind on Xiao Shu."
Huang Meiqin sighed deeply, and said, "Lin Qiao, Xiao Shu likes you the most, please take care of him in the future."
Lin Qiao said decisively: "Xiao Shu has a father and a mother, and his mother treats him as her own. Xiao Shu was brought up by his stepmother, and he likes his stepmother very much, so he doesn't need me as an aunt at all." Huang Meiqin's eyes turned red
, My heart hurts like being gouged out with a knife. Yes, if Xiaoshu had a vicious stepmother, she would still have a position to show up as a real mother, but the stepmother is so good to Xiaoshu, they are a family, and she is an irrelevant outsider .
She continued to sigh and said, "Okay, then I hope everyone is safe."
Although she said this, she knew that her future was uncertain, and she just wanted to change the environment and escape from the current situation.
"Everyone be safe." After Lin Qiao finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Looking at the back of the decisive ex-sister-in-law, Huang Meiqin wanted to cry. Chapter 59
Xu Manzhi doesn't care about buying back the old house at all, she has been worrying about Lin Zhenkai's couple having a second child, she feels that one child is always a little less, but she is in a hurry, the couple can enjoy themselves I don't want to be born at all.
As soon as Lin Qiao came back, she began to think about it again.
When Lin Qiao went to the courtyard on Sunday, Xu Manzhi said, "You said that your second elder brother and second sister-in-law only have one child. Now there is no one who has an only child, and which family doesn't have several children. You are in good health, your second sister-in-law is the same age as you, and she is still young, and she can give birth if she wants to."
Lin Qiao said, "Mom, I don't think you need to worry about this matter, my second brother and sister-in-law both have their own ideas. It's my opinion, others can't persuade me."
"I don't think that if they regret it later, they will be old if they think about it!" Xu Manzhi said.
Lin Qiao said: "The country has started to advocate family planning."
Xu Manzhi said: "Advocacy is advocacy. Could it be that they have health problems after giving birth to a child? Your second sister-in-law is in the best hospital in Qingcheng." I can't find any experts at work! Why don't we suggest them to have a look."
"Mom, my second sister-in-law is a doctor, and they can think of everything you can think of." Lin Qiao said.
Seeing that her daughter was not interested in this matter, Xu Manzhi could only talk to Lin Zhenkai and Zhou Xiaodu, she said: "You can't just have one child, you need siblings to accompany you." Lin Zhenkai said: "Xiao
Shu , Doudou, can't they all keep her company? Besides, we just spoil one girl and give her all the love and care. Isn't it good to have an only-daughter family? You can see that Lin Jiaqi is confident and happy, much more lively than ordinary children. "
Xu Manzhi changed the angle and began to talk about physical problems directly. Zhou Xiaodu said, "Mom, Zhenkai and I have no physical problems. It's just that we never got pregnant. This one child is fine. We think it's God's will." , don’t force it.”
That being the case, Xu Manzhi didn’t force it, she felt that it would be better for her to be an enlightened mother-in-law, and said, “Let’s just have one, as long as the two of you are willing.”
——
Lin Peiyuan doesn’t care about buying it back In the old house, he cared about Xu Manzhi the most.
After dinner, Lin Peiyuan sent Xu Manzhi out, he wanted to hold a family meeting.
He said that Lin Peiyuan would be back in a few days. He wanted to eat almond tofu the most, so he asked Xu Manzhi to buy it. Xu Manzhi didn't want to go at first, but he couldn't help fooling him, so he went out.
He felt that the older children were not easy to control, and Mimi was the most obedient, so he told her to wait at the gate until grandma came back to notify her.
"Okay, grandpa." Under the temptation of chocolate, Mimi obediently hugged the bench and waited at the door.
"Let's have a quick meeting while your mother is away." Lin Peiyuan sat on a chair, looked around and said, "I should take your mother for a physical examination." "
What is the examination?" Lin Huaixuan asked.
Lin Peiyuan pointed to his own head: "Of course it is to check the brain and check the spirit."
Lin Qiao directly refused: "Except that Mom doesn't know you, she is in good physical and mental condition, so there is no need to send her to the hospital."
Lin Zhenkai didn't think so at all . Xu Manzhi was sick, and he said it very easily: "Dad, Mom is normal in every way, but you have been removed from her memory." The attitude of the family made Lin Peiyuan feel that this
might be a conspiracy. He said: "Your mother is It's not pretending to have amnesia, why does she forget me and don't know me when everything is normal, are you guys cooperating with her!"
Lin Qiao shook her head like a rattle: "Dad, we also think it's a little strange, but you know that this kind of thing is easy to reveal the truth, and we won't cheat you together. Besides, isn't it good that Mom doesn't remember you? Her choice Sexual amnesia may mean that the memories between her and you are not very good, she lived too tired before, maybe she can live a more relaxed life if she forgets you." Gu Lin did not express any opinion on this matter, but
Lin Qiao Almost laughing out loud at that.
Lin Peiyuan frowned: "Daughter, don't they say that girls are parents' padded jackets? Your padded jacket is stuffed with reeds, so the air leaks from all sides." "What do Huaixuan and Zhenkai think?" Lin Peiyuan asked again
.
Both daughter-in-law and son-in-law are unwilling to express their opinions.
"Dad, don't bother my mother." Lin Huaixuan said.
Lin Zhenkai put his hand on his chin: "Maybe this is God's will."
God's will? Lin Zhenkai wanted to slap his second son.
Lin Peiyuan was speechless: "Why do you all turn to your mother? You don't think your mother is a traditional woman who is virtuous, virtuous, hard-working and worthy of sympathy. You should know that your mother has fought with me all her life. She has a very tough temper. Back then she Tore up my boat ticket, hid my manuscripts, and I was innocent with other lesbians, but she insisted on coming to my door, and I was also very embarrassed. Doesn’t she do such things rarely! She is a loving mother to you, But that bit of toughness was all on me."
"Even if you fight each other for the rest of your life, the biggest difference between you is that Mom loves you, and you don't have the heart, Dad." Lin Qiao said.
Lin Peiyuan agreed with this statement.
He said: "Don't be so sharp. Didn't the war cease before I was released? At that time, I wanted to live a good life. Now that your mother doesn't know me, I am not reconciled." "Dad, you will always adapt slowly
. Just get used to it. Besides, why my mother doesn’t know you, you should find the reason in yourself.” Lin Zhenkai said.
Lin Peiyuan: "..." Very good, the padded jacket and trousers are leaking air.
I can only hope that the daughter-in-law and son-in-law are sensible, and he called them one by one: "Yunxiu, what do you think?" He
Yunxiu always took her husband's opinion as the standard, and said, "Dad, I have the same opinion as Huaixuan."
"Xiaodu, what do you think?" What do you say?" Lin Peiyuan asked again.
Zhou Xiaodu said: "Dad, I think what Lin Qiao said is right, there is no need to take my mother to the hospital." Lin Peiyuan asked Gu
Lin again: "What do you think?"
Lin Qiao glanced at her and said, "Dad, from my experience with Lin Qiao, you can only fight hard to make her recognize and trust you, maybe she will think of you." Lin Peiyuan sighed: "The son-in-law is still reliable.
" A little bit, but why do I think it's so difficult!"
"Yes, Dad, you can only do this to make Mom think of you again." Lin Qiao said.
She even thought it was good, Xu Manzhi had paid for it for so many years, now it was Lin Peiyuan's turn to pay.
This is the turn of wind and water.
——On
Sunday, several families went back to the courtyard for dinner, Gu Lin went to the camp, Lin Qiao wanted to wait for him, so she went to grandma's house first.
When Mrs. Hua came back from buying vegetables, she saw a group of children surrounded by the yard, and immediately went to have a look. It was a good look, and her eyes immediately glistened with joy.
The children of the Lin family actually dismantled Xu Manzhi's bicycle into pieces, leaving a lot of parts on the ground.
Aunt Hua was so happy, there was another good show, the Lin family doted on the children again, they dismantled the bicycle, it was such a valuable thing, and it had to be beaten.
She loves to watch the jokes of neighbors in the courtyard.
She poked the ground with her walking stick, gloating but pretending to be sad and said: "You prodigal sons, who told you to dismantle your bicycles? A bicycle ticket costs more than 20 yuan. Your family was still very rich before." When it’s time for oil? Tickets or money are brought by the strong wind. How can there be such a messy thing, wait for your grandma to come back and see if she doesn’t beat you guys.”
Lin Jiaqi looked up at the dazzled old lady. This old lady is used to making troubles. When grandma comes back, she will definitely stir up troubles, so she replied sharply: "We have eaten your rice, and we have a relationship with you when we dismantle bicycles." Just take care of yourself, don’t meddle in your own business when you’re full all day long.”
Lin Holiday, nicknamed Lin Dangdang, is famous in the courtyard for his sharp mouth, and he never suffers from it.
Xiaoshu is the oldest, and he feels that he has to protect his younger siblings at all times, so he said politely, "Grandma Hua, you don't need to take care of our family affairs." Hua Fang pouted and said, "Grandma, it's up to you
. Hurry up and go home and rest."
Hua Xiaolan's partner is a door-to-door son-in-law who changed his surname to Hua, and their two daughters are also surnamed Hua, and they are not called Grandma Hua, but Grandma.
Aunt Hua has a serious patriarchal thought. She doesn't like these two girls' movies, and they always chase after Lin Jiaqi's ass, so she doesn't like these two granddaughters.
Aunt Hua scolded: "Smelly girl, eats the stuff inside and out, loses money, who is this stubborn talk you learned from! Why didn't you learn something well, you will have to say ten sentences if I say one sentence." She was connoting Lin
Jiaqi , thinking that the two granddaughters of her family learned from Lin Jiaqi to speak badly, but Lin Jiaqi ignored her.
She doted on her three daughters back then, but now that her daughter has given birth to a daughter again, she has not continued the incense for the Hua family, and her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter are not pleasing to her eyes.
Huacao curled her lips, very unconvinced: "You are not a woman? You are not a loser? Why do you scold me, why don't you fix yourself!"
Aunt Hua was so angry that she held up her crutches in her heart. If you want to beat me, she said: "If you lose money, I won't beat you." "
You beat me, you will have to spend money to cure me if you beat me up. If you beat me to death, the Hua family will be wiped out." Huafang said.
The two of them were beaten a lot, and they took beatings as a routine, not a serious matter at all.
Mrs. Hua was trembling with anger. After scolding for a long time, it was thunderous and rainy. She was in a good mood today, but she was afraid that the child would be sent to the hospital like last time, so she didn't.
A group of children didn't seem to hear her scolding, Nannan asked a little worriedly: "Brother, can you still save the bicycle? Don't save a few extra parts after saving it." Doudou was very confident: "Of course,
grandma's bicycle is very good." Change a few parts, and it will be easier to ride after changing the parts."
Beibei immediately flattered: "Big brother will definitely do it, my big brother is the best."
Xiaoshu looked at the parts all over the place, and suggested: "Doudou, why don't we give it now? Let’s pack it up, the milk will be back in a while, we still have time to clean up the battlefield.”
Doudou said: “Assemble it first, and then replace it when you buy the parts.”
Xiaoshu said: “Then I will go to the hardware with you next Sunday shop to buy parts."
"We are soldiers of workers and peasants who came to the deep mountains to eliminate the reactionaries and change the land." The aria of "Take the Tiger Mountain by Outwit" came out from the radio, and Aunt Hua sang along leisurely, squinting her eyes and basking in the sun Watching these kids.
Sure enough, just half of the bicycles were saved, Xu Manzhi, Lin Peiyuan and the old couple went out for a walk and bought groceries, and at a glance they saw the children in a circle and the mess on the ground.
Granny Hua glanced at the two large net bags that Xu Manzhi was carrying. One was filled with vegetables. Vegetables that cost a few cents a catty were not eaten by others. It must be meat, she can already smell meat, the Lin family must have another good meal tonight!
She clicked her lips twice, stood up and turned on the provocative mode, she said: "Look at the little kids in your family who really know how to play, there are no other toys, I dismantle your bicycle." Xu Manzhi
slowly Si looked at Granny Hua methodically, and said to himself that if their family still lived in a bungalow, or lived alone in this house, no one could see what their children liked to do, unlike now, where there is trouble in the house , the neighbors all know and watch the fun.
She knelt down and said in a cheerful tone: "You guys are amazing. You can disassemble and assemble a bicycle at such a young age. Most people can't. Look, you can put it together so quickly." Beibei said: "My elder brother is the best
. "
She stood up, her tone was very proud: "I never thought that my children could assemble bicycles at a young age, I admire them."
Mrs. Hua will not let go of her expression, she always feels that Xu Manzhi is still different from them , the house and the house are cleaned up very cleanly, and she speaks slowly and methodically, she just wants to see the other party lose all manners and become angry.
She was disappointed, the other party was not angry at all, but so proud.
The children were still busy, but they didn't panic because grandma/grandma came over.
What kind of family would allow children to mess around like this!
"Grandma, the bicycle can be installed tonight." Doudou said while installing the tires.
Li Muhua was very kind: "Looking at the speed of Doudou, my grandma is too blind. If you like to disassemble and assemble bicycles, you can continue dismantling them next Sunday." Granny Hua is also a little envious. His children can disassemble and assemble bicycles
. The people in the repair shop work fast, even if they don't want to admit it, but their children are smart.
Seeing that Xu Manzhi was about to enter the house, Mrs. Hua hurriedly called him to stop, and said: "Your family, Lin Jiaqi, you have to take good care of him, he is not polite at all, and his words are harsh." Xiaoshu said: "Grandma Hua, don't
say In our family, Lin Jiaqi, Huafang and Huacao's speech is a hundred times worse than Jiaqi's speech."
Of course Xu Manzhi knew what her granddaughter was like, and she would have been able to raise her into a lady in the past. She had tried, but the courtyard In this environment, it is almost impossible for the neighbors to cultivate a good lady, so let her do it.
Now that Lin Peiyuan has been rehabilitated, Lin Jiaqi has less scruples about being jealous, and she can say whatever she likes.
"It's better than anything else to take care of your own children." Xu Manzhi said bluntly.
After Gu Lin came back from the camp, Lin Qiao went to have dinner with him. The bike installation work was almost finished.
Gu Lin said: "That's right, the eldest son has the spirit of research, wait for Dad to find two old bicycles to dismantle for you."
Lin Qiao felt that the older Gu Lin was, the more he doted on the child rather than the stricter he was on the child. She laughed She asked, "Did you dismantle things at home when you were a child?"
Gu Lin firmly refused to admit it, and said, "I was able to do this kind of thing when I was
a child?" The flashlight, radio, and dad's wooden warehouse were all demolished, and dad used to chase you with feather dusters."
Doudou said, "Ten feather dusters are broken a year."
Gu Lin felt that he was a tall and heroic image in the eyes of his wife and children. He said, "Why doesn't Mom save me any face?"
Over the years, Gu Lin's cold and murderous aura has become more and more obvious. Children from other families feel afraid to take a detour when they see him, but these nephews and nieces are not afraid. He, Lin Jiaqi raised his head and asked, "Uncle, is it true that
you broke ten feather dusters?"
"Uncle, I admire you very much. It turns out that Uncle's strong bones are made with a feather duster!" Lin Jiaqi's eyes lit up. She had known all kinds of outstanding deeds of her uncle for a long time, and regarded him as an idol, but she never thought that her uncle was so "heroic" when she was a child, and she immediately felt that her uncle had an affinity.
The children immediately gathered around, and the way they looked at Gu Lin changed immediately. Not only did they think he was respectable, but they were also full of love for him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Uncle, I also admire you, you are the person I admire the most." Xiao Shu said excitedly.
In his mind, his uncle was tall and heroic, full of masculinity. He also wanted to be a soldier, so he took his uncle as his target. Unexpectedly, his uncle was still a senior in the fighting world, and his favorability was not only doubled, but directly increased countless times.
"You guys can't do it." Gu Lin was deeply surprised, he could see that these children worshiped him sincerely without any pretense.
I thought his image was damaged, but I didn't expect him to be more popular.
He couldn't figure out the brain circuits of the children.
"Your uncle has won many medals and made military achievements many times. Why don't you learn it! Lin Jiaqi, do you want to practice with a feather duster too!" Lin Zhenkai said.
"I'm thin-skinned, so forget it." Lin Jiaqi said.
Xu Manzhi wanted to improve the food for her family as much as possible. They went to three butcher shops and two vegetable stands to buy two bags of vegetables. She, Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaodu were already busy cooking.
Dinner is very rich, there are braised pork ribs, fatty intestines, liver tips, carp stewed tofu, braised pig's trotters, cold lotus root slices, stir-fried pea tips and so on.
The meals they usually cook are simple, and if they cook too much, the room will still be full of oily smoke even if the windows are open, but the three of them still cook a table full of meals with great interest.
After dinner, Xu Manzhi held a meeting for the six children. The children and in-laws could sit in and speak as little as possible.
"All of you will have to go to college in the future, and now that college education has resumed, what a great learning opportunity this is. Both of your parents can go to college, and you all have to go to college too," Xu Manzhi said.
Xiaoshu said: "What if the college entrance examination is canceled when we take the university entrance exam!"
Xu Manzhi said: "The knowledge you learn is always your own, is it for others? You can always use the knowledge you have learned. In fact, only by working hard to learn knowledge and having a good skill can you have the capital to live and work in society. If you have no knowledge and no culture, you will have to enter the factory in the future." Nannan said: "Grandma, although my ideal is to be a submarine
pilot, but I am I think it’s good to work in a factory. If I enter a popsicle factory, I can eat popsicles.”
Nowadays, people are proud of going to a factory, especially in an old-fashioned factory like a machinery factory. Go to work in the factory.
But Xu Manzhi has a sense of crisis: "Your parents are college students, do you want to be a worker? If you want to eat popsicles, I will buy them for you, so that you can eat enough. How about a factory? Look at the machinery factory, there is no such thing now. The economy is booming."
It may be closed at any time, but the placement of workers will be a problem at that time! But she didn't say that. Lin
Peiyuan interceded for the children, saying: "Manzhi, they are still young and have good academic performance, just let them grow up happily and don't put pressure on them."
In the meeting, outsiders should not speak."
Lin Peiyuan was extremely aggrieved, and Xu Manzhi's denial of him resulted in him having no status in the family, no right to speak, and even managing the children!
Xu Manzhi is completely the head of the family now, even his parents have to stand aside.
"And you, Doudou, what kind of bicycle are you researching? If you really want to do research, at least you have to study military warships like your uncle and second uncle. The research point is related to satellites. Bicycles are just a few parts. Research is still needed! Doudou, you are talented and smart, don't waste your talent, grandma has high hopes for you, I hope you will make great achievements in the future, so you should study something else." Xu Manzhi said.
Lin Qiao wanted to speak for DouDou, but DouDou had already said, "Grandma, you have a lot of knowledge about bicycles. I can improve the design of bicycles and make them more advanced."
Although Xu Manzhi felt that Doudou was smarter than ordinary children, he was still young after all, and said in amazement: "How old are you, can you really do it?" Doudou nodded affirmatively: "Yes." Xiaoshu said:
"
Grandma , We have a plan."
Seeing the mysterious children, Xu Manzhi asked: "What plan?" Lin Jiaqi
said: "Grandma, I'll let you know when it succeeds."
"You seem to be plotting something big, say Come out and listen." Lin Peiyuan was very interested.
Xu Manzhi said: "It's not a joke!"
"They're not kidding, I testify." Lin Zhenkai said.
Xu Manzhi didn't want to pursue the matter of dismantling the bicycle at first, so the family meeting ended like this.
——
Lin Qiao found out that Doudou has been very busy recently. At first, he thought he was studying hard, but only later did he find out that he was drawing blueprints.
She told Gu Lin: "What do you do drawing drawings all day long? What can he research as a child? These days, he always runs to his uncle's place. He doesn't go home all day on Sunday, and he doesn't come home until late at night. Come back, do we need to urge him to study?"
Gu Lin disagreed, and said, "When did our eldest son not study hard?"
Lin Qiao said, "I don't think he can't use it because he can't read books all day long. Textbooks, he doesn’t even care about food, you see, he doesn’t have time to talk to us.”
“Then let’s ask him.” Gu Lin said. Chapter 60
The two walked to the door of Doudou's room. Lin Qiao knocked on the door and asked, "Doudou, have you finished your homework?
" Qiao picked up the homework and looked at it. It turned out to be math and English homework.
The couple looked at each other, and Gu Lin said, "This kid doesn't even open the door for us."
Lin Qiao felt that although they were both young, they looked like an old married couple who worried about their children. It's all finished, but you can see how busy he is."
Lin Qiao then knocked on the door with a soft and low voice: "Doudou, dear mother, don't you open the door when you're outside?"
DouDou complained inside the door: "Mom, this is too gross."
Nannan and Beibei who were doing their homework in the living room also complained, and Nannan said, "It's really disgusting, brother, please open the door for mom." "
Brother, open the door, dear. " My mother is anxiously waiting." Beibei said.
Gu Lin said: "You two, do your homework quickly."
Doudou finally opened the door, holding a stack of papers in his hand, stuffed it into Gu Lin's hand, and said, "Don't you just want to know what I am doing?
" Putting their heads together and flipping through the drawings, Gu Lin said: "The drawing is really good. The eldest son is self-taught. What kind of stuff is this?" Doudou said proudly: "The drawings of the welding machine, from the machinery factory
. The rim welded by the welding machine will have quality problems at first glance. This is my improved welding machine, and there are improved front and rear brakes, and..."
Lin Qiao was confused and said: "Doudou , this is too difficult, I can't understand your blueprint at all, who did you learn from?"
Doudou raised his chin and was very proud: "I have uncle's help, but this is not difficult for me. Mom, you just don't know my strength."
"I really didn't know the eldest son could do this." Lin Qiao said.
"Why are you tinkering with this?" Gu Lin asked.
"Give these design improvements to the machinery factory. Of course, if they agree to sell the old house to the Lin family, I will give them the blueprints, so that the machinery factory's bicycle manufacturing level will be greatly improved. If the machinery factory does not sell the house, the drawings will be mine. Don't give it to them, and the machinery factory will continue to be half-dead." Doudou said his plan.
Lin Qiao felt that the elder son was really outstanding. He could learn without a teacher without any education at all, and would improve the design of bicycles. She hurriedly greeted Nannan and Beibei: "You two, come and see the blueprints drawn by your elder brother."
Nannan took the drawing to look at it, and exclaimed: "Brother, you are too good, when did you learn it?"
Beibei's eyes lit up: "I admire Big Brother the most, and Big Brother is the smartest person I have ever met. "
Gu Lin said: "When did the task of buying back the Lin family's house fall to the little kid.
" "
"Eldest son, Mom likes you so much. Regardless of whether your ideas are useful or not, as long as you are willing to try and have the ability to try, Mom will support you." Lin Qiao was very moved.
"I won't chat with you anymore, then I will continue to draw pictures." Dou Dou looked very busy.
"Okay, you are busy, let's go now." Lin Qiao said.
Doudou closed the door and continued to draw drawings. Lin Qiao said to Nannan and Beibei: "You both need to use your elder brother as a help. You see that he has never studied in the same class, but he can be self-taught." Gu Lin said:
" Yes, if you are all like your elder brother, we don’t have to worry about your studies.”
Nan Nan has already returned to the desk and continued to do her homework, saying: “Elder brother is a genius, but he didn’t have the opportunity to show his talent when he was on the island. Bei Bei and I are ordinary people, so we don’t compare with
big brothers.” Gu Lin said, “Your mentality is pretty good, so why can’t you learn from your big brother?”
“How can ordinary people learn from geniuses?” Nan Nan said .
Lin Qiao said, "At least Nannan and Beibei can take the initiative to do their homework, and we don't have to worry about it." "
Yes." Beibei said.
Gu Lin said, "You have really low expectations of them both, but their grades are also good."
Back in her room, Lin Qiao said, "Children like Doudou are smart and sensible, let alone adopt one, adopt ten." I'm happy with both."
Gu Lin said: "Sometimes I really feel that Doudou is our own. You see, he looks like you and me, and his personality and temperament are like the Lin family. If I don't mention it, I can't even remember it. He was adopted."
"Anyway, we always treat him as our own." Lin Qiao said.
Almost ready, Lin Huaixuan took DouDou to meet Director Zheng.
They understand the situation of the machinery factory. In recent years, the bicycles produced by the machinery factory have been selling well, but in the past two years, the Qingcheng Bicycle Factory has developed very fast, and it immediately covered the limelight of the machinery factory. Orders dropped sharply. The bicycle production in the factory It's almost impossible to keep going.
Director Zheng himself is very self-motivated. Faced with the dwindling situation in the factory, he has a headache and is eager to change the status quo. Lin Huaixuan and Doudou are very confident. As long as Director Zheng sees these drawings, he will be very interested.
Sure enough, Director Zheng's eyes were as wide as copper bells, he stood up, patted the drawings and said, "Old Lin, these drawings were drawn by this kid? I'll believe it if you say you did them.
" Give a pillow, but the problem is that he doubts whether the other party has this strength.
Lin Huaixuan said: "I can indeed draw it, but I'm also busy with work, so I don't have the time to draw these. They are all drawn around."
Director Zheng held up the drawings, squinted his eyes and took advantage of the light from the window to draw carefully. Zhang Fan looked at it, he didn't quite understand it, but his intuition told him that these drawings were particularly well drawn.
If Engineer Lin was invited to the factory, he thought he would be able to solve the technical problems in the factory, but he didn't believe that the child in front of him could do the same.
Lin Huaixuan took the opportunity to persuade him: "As long as the welding machine is improved according to our drawings, there will definitely be no quality problems in the welding of rims. But the premise of our contribution to the drawings is that the factory can sell the house to the Lin family." See Zheng
Factory Chang's mind was completely on the drawing, and Lin Huaixuan said the latter sentence with an emphasis.
Director Zheng immediately thought that the Qingcheng Bicycle Factory might be better than his own factory, but compared with the bicycles of Phoenix and Yongjiu, it was completely inferior to these well-known products. The welding machine of this factory also has problems. If their factory solves the problem of welding machines first, It will definitely surpass Qingcheng Bicycle Factory.
"You can't just talk about it on paper, I want to see the results." Director Zheng paced back and forth and said, "Let's not mention other technical improvements, as long as the welding machine problem can be solved, I will sell the house to the Lin family." Doudou
said : "Director Zheng, you can arrange for a technician in charge of the welding machine to improve the machine with me."
Director Zheng smiled: "It is said that since ancient times heroes are born in youth, the little guy is quite confident, okay, I will assign you one The eighth-level worker in charge of the welding machine is also an engineer, and I will give you two assistants, so you can improve together.”
He knew that the strength of each of the Lin family was extraordinary, and behind this little guy was Engineer Lin. Even if the little guy couldn’t solve the problem, Lin Engineers can too, just trust them for once.
Anyway, there is no loss if you fail, and if you succeed, you will get it for nothing and can solve major technical problems in the factory.
The only worry is that the engineers in the factory will work with the kid, and their self-esteem will be frustrated, and they may not be willing to cooperate with the work, but this is easy to solve, as long as he goes to the work site a few more times.
"What about the house?" Doudou asked.
Director Zheng said: "The little guy is eloquent. I know that there are many Lin family members, and it is inconvenient to be crowded together. Fangzheng plans to sell the house. If the welding machine is successfully improved, you will make a major contribution to the factory. The house can be sold to Your family."
Lin Huaixuan thought that Director Zheng is a trustworthy person who can cooperate, so he said: "Director Zheng, the welding machine can definitely be improved successfully, and we also look forward to the day when we buy the house back." Doudou said: "Mr.
Zheng Director, why don't we both sign an agreement, clearly stating that I will improve the welding machine in the factory, and the factory will sell the house to the Lin family."
Director Zheng is in a good mood now, and said with a smile: "You little guy is a ghost. , more thoughtful than your uncle, then let’s sign an agreement.”
Finally, the two parties signed the agreement, pressed their fingerprints, and each had a copy of the agreement, and agreed that Doudou would come to the factory every day after school and on Sundays to improve with the eighth-grade workers. welder.
Doudou carefully put the agreement in his jacket pocket and walked out of the factory with Lin Huaixuan. Lin Huaixuan asked, "Doudou, are you confident?" Doudou nodded and
said confidently, "Of course, it's not difficult." "
Okay , looking forward to your results." Lin Huaixuan patted DouDou on the shoulder and said.
After school the next day, Lin Huaixuan was already waiting at the school gate to go around.
Doudou came out of the school gate with Xiaoshu, Lin Huaixuan let Xiaoshu go home first, and he followed Doudou to the machinery factory.
The person in charge of the welding machine thought that Lin Huaixuan was working with him. He is an eighth-level worker and an engineer. He was so arrogant that he almost walked sideways in the factory. , but compared with Engineer Lin who is a ship researcher, he is still a bit behind. I thought I was working with Lin Huaixuan, but I didn't expect to work with children.
"Is this half-sized boy okay?" The eighth-level worker looked at the tall, thin, hairless boy in front of him and asked.
Doudou handed over the blueprints: "I drew these."
The eighth-level worker was convinced by these blueprints, but he suspected that Lin Huaixuan drew them, and asked, "Engineer Lin, you really didn't draw them?" "
He drew them. "Lin Huaixuan said.
"Then let's try." The eighth-level worker said, he was more willing to cooperate than everyone expected.
The other party is a child. If he can really improve the welding machine, he is a genius. He is not very educated. He only graduated from junior high school. After many years of work, he has become an eighth-level worker. He is already a leader among ordinary workers. He will not compare himself to a A boy genius for comparison.
DouDou has been very busy recently. He doesn’t go home after school and goes directly to the machinery factory. The dinner is free, and some workers will send him to the warehouse where the welding machine is improved.
The couple were worried about going home, Lin Qiao was worried that he would delay his studies, eat a bad meal, and go home too late. I don't get home until eleven o'clock.
Anyway, he is free to enter and leave the camp now, and he will pick up Doudou.
What pleased Lin Qiao was that no matter how busy Gu Lin was, he cared about the three children and was a very present father.
On Sunday night, Lin Qiao and Gu Lin wanted to go to the machinery factory together to pick up Doudou, and Nannan and Beibei also followed. Lin Qiao said, "Then let's go together, just for a walk.
" Explained their purpose to the janitor at the door, and he took them to the warehouse where the welding machine was tested. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Doudou squatting on the ground, holding goggles in one hand, wearing protective clothing, and operating the welding machine in the other. On the rim, the sparks are fading.
"My elder brother." Nan Nan pointed to the figure on the ground and said.
"My elder brother is so good, he can use electric welding." Beibei said.
Lin Qiao was a little worried about her son. In her perception, welding was a technical job, and it took a long time to learn to become a teacher. How did Doudou get started like this?
She quickly stretched out her left and right arms, covered her children's eyes, and said, "Don't look at the electric welding, it's not good for your eyes." She didn't let the two
children look at it, but Lin Qiao herself looked at the sparks of white thorns and flowers, and looked at the little ones. The young boy worked decently, and said with emotion: "Men who work hard are very attractive, and it turns out that children who work hard are also very attractive."
Gu Lin glanced at her and said, "You said hard work Is the man me?"
Lin Qiao said, "If it's not you, who else can you be? You are very attractive when you read books and write materials."
Gu Lin took a deep look at her, and Lin Qiao felt that what she said was not right. The problem, but I just feel that Gu Lin wants to find fault, but I don't have time to dwell on this problem. After finishing the work in hand, I put down my goggles, look in the direction where they are, and call out to my parents and siblings.
He was naturally very happy, busy until midnight, the whole family came to pick him up.
DouDou stood up and took off his protective clothing, said a few words to the eighth-level workers, probably meaning to call it a day, and walked towards them.
The eighth-level worker also came over and said, "Your son is really a young man. I didn't expect him to be able to improve the welding machine at such a young age. We have already improved it, and it is still in the final test stage. It should be completed soon." Lin Qiao was not humble
, Said: "He is interested in this area, he is self-taught."
"Uncle Li, I'll go now." DouDou said hello.
"Come on, your family members are here to pick you up. If my son is so sensible and promising, I can pick him up every day." The eighth-level worker said.
"Brother, I brought you a piece of ox tongue pie, and Mom left you dried shrimp wontons, and I will cook them for you when I get back," Beibei said.
Doudou didn't wash his hands, he stretched out his long arms lovingly to wrap around his sister's shoulders, opened the paper bag and ate beef tongue cakes on a paper pad, and said while eating, "Beibei is the most obedient." The
family walked towards the gate , Lin Qiao asked Doudou, "The sparks won't splash on you, right?"
Doudou said, "Mom, I've done a good job of protecting myself, so I won't."
"Is the eldest son tired?" Gu Lin asked.
"Not tired, Dad." DouDou said.
Back home, Lin Qiao cooked a bowl of wontons for DouDou as supper, and after he finished eating, urged the three children to go to bed.
After washing, the two lay on the bed. Gu Lin immediately took off all the long johns and long johns, leaving only a pair of underpants. After taking off, she leaned over and pressed Lin Qiao tightly.
"You like literati?" His scorching breath fell on Lin Qiao's forehead.
"Where did it come from?" Lin Qiao asked.
"You said today that I am charming when I read books and write materials. Literati do this kind of thing! I am a big boss." Gu Lin said.
Lin Qiaoxin said that her intuition was really accurate, and her intuition told her that because of what she said, Gu Lin wanted to find fault with her, but she arrived even though she was late.
Through the pajamas, she could feel the tightness of his muscles, and even the strength of the protruding tendons in his abdomen. Lin Qiao smiled softly and said, "Just say what you want, don't try to find fault."
Gu Lin reached into her pajamas with her big rough hand and rubbed it back and forth, "Obviously I am more attractive when I am fighting or training." "
I have never watched you fight or train." Lin Qiao said.
His hands were completely dishonest, the rough fingertips made Lin Qiaolian groan, and he reached out to grab his hand to prevent him from moving, but he held it and greeted him on the mermaid line.
Lin Qiao's breathing speeded up, and he passively held his hand and followed his clear and tight mermaid line down, and then down.
"Then you wait for me to finish my studies, and you go to the training ground with me, and I will arrange for you to watch it." Gu Lin said.
"I've seen your naked face, and I've also seen what you're training for!" Lin Qiao smiled lowly, her cheeks and breath becoming hot.
The daughter-in-law only said this, and Gu Lin's blood ran uncontrollably in his blood vessels. He felt that his wife was teasing him, and almost all the muscles became hard and swollen. It was too late to turn off the lights. Covered up, in the dark, the quilt is undulating and mostly night.
——
After dinner, Lin Peiyuan came with Xu Manzhi, and the former announced his plan.
"I have a project in my hand now. I want to go to several cities with many ancient buildings to evaluate the damage of buildings over the years to see if there is any repair value." Lin Peiyuan said, he mentioned seven or eight cities in a row, "The first batch is To these places, Han Wenwu is my assistant, and I will take your mother with me."
Lin Qiao said: "You are on a business trip, can you take my mother?"
Lin Peiyuan said: "The superior unit of our research institute is a state-owned property. Supervision and management committee, I told people that my daughter-in-law is not in good spirits, so I just took her out to relax and see if she can recover. I pay for accommodation, transportation, and meals myself, and it has nothing to do with travel expenses. My reimbursement standard remains the same. I will never use a penny from the public house, and the superior has approved it."
"It's fine to go on a trip to relax, but now Dad, you even want to take my mother with you on a business trip, which shows that you are infatuated." Lin Qiao said.
Gu Lin laughed unkindly.
Lin Peiyuan said: "My daughter always runs on me!"
Lin Qiao turned to Xu Manzhi, "Mom, are you willing to go?"
Xu Manzhi nodded, pointed at Lin Peiyuan and said, "He said to go a few more places, maybe we can find him. Lin Peiyuan."
Seeing her mother's serious words, Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing, sometimes she would suspect that Xu Manzhi didn't have selective amnesia at all, her mother did it on purpose, but she didn't want to get to the bottom of it, anyway, Xu Manzhi had no other physical problems, As long as she is happy.
"Dad, you should be relieved. My mother is also infatuated and misses Lin Peiyuan all the time." Lin Qiao joked.
Lin Peiyuan snorted, "The airy padded jacket."
"Mom, what do you want to do after finding Lin Peiyuan?" Lin Qiao asked.
Xu Manzhi answered quickly: "Divorce him."
Lin Peiyuan begged for mercy: "Just let me go, you said you are fine and everything is normal but you don't know me? Manzhi, who else can I be if I am not Lin Peiyuan?" He stretched out his hands and shook Xu Manzhi's shoulders: "Look carefully, I am Lin Peiyuan."
Xu Manzhi glanced at him: "You are fooling me."
Then he stabbed Lin Peiyuan in the heart: "He is better than you Younger, much more handsome than you, with more hair than you, you are not as good as him at all."
Lin Peiyuan: "..."
Seeing the aggrieved appearance of the old father, Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Dad, although you can't be as young as you are, Compared with yourself at that time, you are much better than your peers, so don’t be discouraged.”
She thought for a while and said: “Grandpa and grandma most want to buy back the old house. Now that the house has not been bought back, you have to buy it for a long time. On a business trip, grandparents still regard you as the main force."
"Those are all belongings, not important, isn't it that the three of you are here, I believe that the three of you will be able to buy the house back." Lin Peiyuan said.
After so many years of experience, he has no interest in real estate and revitalizing the Lin family. He is more interested in his career, and he hopes that Xu Manzhi can recover his memory.
Seeing that his son doesn't care about the old house at all, Lin Xianwang has endless emotions. His son can't be counted on, but fortunately there is a third generation.
——Doudou
successfully improved the bicycle, and Director Zheng fulfilled the contract to sell the old house to the Lin family.
"The eldest son is amazing." Lin Qiao said excitedly.
"Mom, if you want to buy a house back, I will try my best to get the chance to buy a house. I will try my best to help you realize your dream in whatever you want to do." Doudou said seriously.
"How could I have such a good eldest son?" Lin Qiao said emotionally, holding Dou Dou's arm.
Back then, Xiao Douding had become a tall, slender and handsome boy, a head taller than Lin Qiao.
"You heard me, you all have to learn from your elder brother." Gu Lin said.
"Understood, let us learn from geniuses again." Nannan said.
Bei Bei said, "Our elder brother has always been the best."
"My dream is that Doudou can be admitted to the military academy, and Doudou's ideal is my mother's dream." Lin Qiao said.
Doudou said in a relaxed tone: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be admitted to the military academy." The
old house is now the property of the machinery factory, and his factory manager has to seek approval from the Municipal Bureau of Commerce to sell the house, but factory director Zheng said that the Lin family has contributed to the machinery factory , the real estate is sold to the Lin family first, and the Commercial Bureau will definitely approve it.
Besides the Lin family, the happiest person is Director Zheng. After all, the machinery factory has gone from prosperity to decline, and he, the factory director, is to blame. But with the improvement of the welding machine, the quality of bicycles produced by the machinery factory will definitely be better than that of Qingcheng Bicycle Factory. Other peers are better, which gives the machinery factory a chance. Maybe with the help of bicycles, the machinery factory may be able to turn around.
And knowing that the factory was going to sell the house back to the Lin family, the whole courtyard was in a commotion, and they were talking about it for the past few days.
Back then they were all complacent about being able to live in the capitalist's house, but now they have to move out again, such a big house still belongs to them.
It was like a dream in a mansion.
Originally, the factory said they wanted to sell the house, but of course they didn’t agree at first. Who would want to change the place after living in it? Besides, the yard is not as low and cramped as other houses, except for some storage rooms made of iron sheets. The bricks and tiles were built indiscriminately, and the yard is spacious, and all the families are satisfied.
But they also know that the factory also needs money. If the factory fails to operate, they will find a way out. After a period of time, their opinions stopped.
Just sell the house and they can move out.
But when they learned that the Lin family could buy back the old house, they began to discuss this matter again.
The Lin family has handed over all the money and things, but the old man and the old lady came back from Hong Kong City, and now they still have money.
Not long after, the Bureau of Commerce approved the approval, and the residents of the machinery factory began to prepare to move out. The Lin family spent 30,000 yuan to buy back the old house.
Lin Xianwang was more excited than ever when he got the title deed and the real estate certificate. Holding these two pieces of paper, his eyes filled with tears: "I knew that our Lin family was capable of buying back the old house. The money is not important, the important thing is the house. Buy it back." After a hundred years, I will be able to explain this house to my ancestors, and I can tell them with confidence that the inheritance left by the ancestors of the Lin family is still there, and the Lin family will definitely be able to revitalize it." Lin Huaixuan, Lin Zhenkai and Lin Qiao looked at each other
. I thought that grandpa was exaggerating too much, and the house is not old enough to carry such a heavy meaning, but they didn't say a word, and no one would spoil the atmosphere at this time.
What Lin Qiao was concerned about was that the old house was back, so the gold buried in the ground was still there. It's just that I didn't expect that the last excitement would be staged before all the residents moved out. Chapter 61
Lin Zhenkai has sharpened his sword for ten years.
He felt that such a hypocrite like Wei Huimin would have problems at work. He had been collecting evidence of his dereliction of duty and violations of laws and regulations over the years. At the beginning, his work was flawless. He started to supply vehicles with a batch of notes, and the other party would give him certain benefits. After one or two times, he was out of control.
If Uncle Wei Huimin was in the limelight during the movement, even if he had evidence, he might not be able to overthrow him, but now that the Revolutionary Society has been changed to the People's Government, Uncle Wei Huimin and others are in the movement Profitable speculators have long become fringe figures without real power.
Seeing that the time is ripe, Lin Zhenkai submitted the collected evidence in duplicate, one anonymously to the Bureau of Commerce, the superior authority of the machinery factory, and the other directly to Director Zheng .
Factory Manager Zheng looked at the clear and clear illegal evidence under his command, and immediately launched an investigation into Wei Huimin.
Just as Lin Zhen was quietly waiting for the good news, the courtyard was lively for a while.
The reason is that the person who pays the most attention to Xu Songqiu and Wei Huimin in the courtyard is Hua Xiaolan. She has long since discovered that Xu Songqiu has a close relationship with a certain man, and their son does not look like Wei Huimin. Like that man, so she came to the conclusion that Xu Songqiu had an affair and had a child.
This is such a great event, Hua Xiaolan was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days.
It is impossible for her to keep this matter in her heart, but she is only speculating and cannot be sure. She is quite hesitant about how to tell Wei Huimin about this matter.
If Wei Huimin and Xu Songqiu divorce, she is willing to form a half-way couple with Wei Huimin, but this is all her wishful thinking. When she told Wei Huimin her speculation in private, the other party was furious, saying that she They spread rumors and slandered her, and found reasons to think that she was dereliction of duty, so she was transferred from the relaxed publicity department to go to the bathhouse.
First, Hua Xiaolan couldn't bear this anger, and second, she was afraid that Wei Huimin would be bad for her. She was too weak to deal with Wei Huimin, so she wanted to find some allies. Director Zheng wouldn't let her make trouble in the factory. , she was making trouble in the compound.
On Sunday morning, the big melon came. Xu Manzhi knew that Lin Qiao must be interested. Seeing that everyone was waiting to see the good show, she hurried to the post office to call Lin Qiao. The three children also wanted to watch the fun, but Lin Qiao Feeling that they don't need to be exposed to these messy things, let them stay at home with their father, and ride their bicycles to the direction of the courtyard.
She and her eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law almost arrived. The backyard of the courtyard was already full of people. Even the factory manager Zheng was invited. Not only the residents of the courtyard, but also many factory workers came here upon hearing the news.
They squeezed their way into the crowd and took a good seat.
Feng Shui takes turns, it is hard to say that it is not like the Pi Douhui back then, but violence is not used now.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Hua Xiaolan directly released the explosive news, saying: "Director Zheng, I will report with my real name that Deputy Director Wei used his power to approve notes for others to receive benefits." Director Zheng felt that it was difficult for him to appoint such a person under his
command Letting go of the blame, Hua Xiaolan can't stop him if she wants to make trouble, and he must give up Wei Huimin, so it's better to let Hua Xiaolan explain the situation clearly and remove his suspicion of covering up.
Wei Huimin didn't know that he was being investigated in private, and his face was pale: "Hua Xiaolan, you are spitting blood."
The people in the courtyard were not surprised. There is a saying that if you have the right to use it, it will become invalid after the expiration date. , receiving benefits is certain.
Hua Xiaolan looked around at everyone's faces, since she has already torn her face, she must explain clearly to her, and she said: "Deputy Factory Director Wei has everything in his house, TV, radio, stereo, watch They are all imported, and they can’t buy these things with their salaries. They are all obtained by him through bribery. Wei Huimin has long approved a note for a man named Ju Si’er. This Ju Si is a private seller of bicycles. Xu Songqiu's best friend, Xu Songqiu often takes his children on private dates with him, Xu Songqiu, right?" Hua
Xiaolan stood next to Director Zheng, staring at Xu Songqiu, Xu Songqiu has been suppressing her all these years She just now felt bad breath.
Xu Songqiu was in a hurry, like a madman, he rushed over in three steps and two steps to make Hua Xiaolan shut up, but she was quickly stopped by the neighbor.
Factory Manager Zheng reprimanded: "Let her finish."
"You said you want to resell as many bicycles as possible and save some money for our son. We are referring to you and Ju Si'er, not you and Deputy Wei. Factory manager, then your son was born to you and Ju Si'er. Your son and Ju Si'er are carved out of the same mold, he is your illegitimate son." Hua Xiaolan looked at the expressions of everyone eating melons, and said freely .
Lin Qiao had already guessed that this would be the case since Hua Xiaolan hinted at her crazily last time. For example, in her dream at the very beginning, Wei Huimin was infertile. In order to maintain her face and dignity, she asked her daughter-in-law to have children with other men.
Wei Huimin is the wishful man that Xu Songqiu took a lot of effort to snatch, and this is his own fruit.
This big melon is even more delicious. The eyes of the people who eat melons are shining, and there is a lot of discussion.
Zhou Xiaodu knew that her husband had collected evidence of Wei Huimin's crimes, but Lin Zhenkai didn't tell her anything else. She ate the big melon with relish and squeezed Lin Qiao's hand: "Do you think what she said is true?
" Wei Huimin looked slumped, his face was livid, beads of sweat the size of soybeans came out, and he said, "It must be true."
Zhou Xiaodu snorted: "The wicked will be rewarded with evil."
Hua Xiaolan had already said hello, Facing Xu Songqiu who was chasing and beating her frantically, he shouted loudly while hiding: "Director Zheng, save me, these two will not let me go, Xu Songqiu, you old shoe, you gave Deputy Factory Manager Wei to wear it!" Cuckold."
Director Zheng didn't expect that there would be a cuckold, seeing that the employees had already surrounded Wei Huimin and asked him if he had received anything, and how much he had received. Seeing the chaos in the scene, he let Hua Xiaolan have more The evidence was presented to him, and everyone dispersed.
Hua Xiaolan shouted loudly: "Director Zheng, you have to make the decision for me. Deputy Factory Manager Wei has already transferred me to the bathhouse. He will definitely continue to deal with me.
" When Huimin and Xu Songqiu returned to their house, their legs and feet were unsteady, and they were indescribably depressed.
After everyone dispersed, the Lin family closed the door to talk. Lin Zhenkai said: "Someone collected evidence of Wei Huimin accepting bribes, and now the Commission for Discipline Inspection is investigating him. He has gradually expanded over the years, and the amount of bribes he has accepted is beyond your imagination. It won't be a few days."
Lin Qiao asked: "Second brother, this 'someone' is yourself."
Lin Zhenkai said without hesitation: "Of course, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Xu Manzhi said: "Good job People like him should have been punished a long time ago."
More than just being punished, the couple accepted bribes, Wei Huimin and abused their power, and both were arrested. Wei Huimin was sentenced to 20 years, Xu Songqiu was sentenced to five years. Year.
Ju Si'er bribed several times, and also went in to step on the sewing machine. Xu Songqiu and his son were picked up by his wife.
Wei Huimin's turmoil ended in this way for more than ten years.
——One
day when Gu Lin got off work, he told Lin Qiao a news, he said: "You have been an island doctor for more than ten years, and I have won a chance for you to be admitted to graduate school, which is your alma mater. Would you like to go to study?" ?”
He was not sure whether his wife would like to go to school in her thirties, and it would be very hard for her to study medicine and graduate school, or maybe her daughter-in-law would like to work in a military hospital until she retired. She is now in a pharmacy. If she wants, Can wait for easier positions.
Lin Qiao hooked his neck, kissed him and said, "You've been worrying about my business."
Gu Lin wrapped her arms around her waist: "Your business is my business."
She had expected to be transferred to Pu Working in surgery, I thought it was impossible to become an excellent doctor like Zhou Xiaodu, but I didn't want to have the opportunity to go to graduate school.
This is the second year that postgraduate education resumed in seven or eight years. A postgraduate student in medicine must not dawdle, she must work hard, and then she will rush to become an expert.
She asked her three children, "Do you want Mommy to go to grad school?"
The three children all wanted her to go, and Doudou said: "Mom, you don't need to take the exam. What a chance, why don't you read it."
Beibei said: "Mom, go, our family happens to study together."
Nannan He hopes that his mother can do homework with him. Why should his mother stay by the side while doing homework? Of course, he must encourage his mother to study, so that he feels equal.
After thinking about it for two days, Lin Qiao decided to go to school. She was transferred to work in general surgery first, and she will go to graduate school when the semester starts next fall.
——After
all the residents of the courtyard moved out, Lin Huaixuan hired workers to remove all the illegal buildings, and then refurbished the place and planted a lot of flowers and plants. The courtyard quickly changed into a well-formed courtyard. .
Lin Xianwang looked at the empty compound and was full of ambition. Now that his bungalow was occupied by government agencies, he thought that there would be a chance to buy back the bungalow in the future.
He called on all three grandchildren to move back to live, and it will be lively if the whole family lives together.
Lin Qiao said that she couldn't move back. It is more convenient for Gu Lin to come and go to the camp during his training period. After he finishes his training, he can't leave the camp at will except on Sundays. She doesn't want to be separated from Gu Lin. Of course, the whole family needs to live in the camp's family room.
Lin Zhenkai said that he was given a two-bedroom apartment, which was enough to live in. Besides, the family home was close to the People's Hospital, and Zhou Xiaodu was only a few minutes' walk to work, so they didn't really want to move.
Lin Huaixuan wanted to take care of the four elders. Although his grandparents and grandparents were in good health, after all, his grandparents needed someone to take care of them when they were old. The four of them moved back and lived in the east wing of the backyard.
Both grandparents and parents live in the main house in the backyard, which makes the whole house more popular.
The next most important thing is to see if the buried gold is still there.
Gu Lin took the three children, Doudou, Xiaoshu, and Nannan, to let the wind out nearby. Taking advantage of the darkness, the Lin family dug together under the toon tree, and unearthed three full boxes of gold bars and ingots.
Lin Xianwang was very excited, his family was safe and healthy, and all these things were there.
The revival of the Lin family is expected.
The things were not taken out, but buried back as they were, and several clumps of peonies were planted on them.
Lin Xianwang started to call everyone for a meeting again, and proposed: "Pei Yuan, look at your eldest brother, who is also a wealthy businessman who can be counted in the Hong Kong city. Now that the reform and opening up have been implemented, I guess the signs of the future will no longer restrain business. Even the most ordinary people will I am doing small business, and the future situation will definitely respond to that sentence, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, it is best for you to set up a personal business to revive the Lin family." He knew that he could not count on his son and daughter-in-
law , and said to the three grandchildren: "Lin Huaixuan, Lin Zhenkai, Lin Qiao, which one of you will come? Gu Lin can't do business, so he stays in the army. Our family finally got an official, so of course we can't give up. Xiaodu You can also do it with Yunxiu, we have start-up funds, and while your grandma and I still have the energy, I will lead you hand in hand, and we will surely break new ground soon."
Lin Huaixuan said: "Master, you know that we are the backbone of the unit, and we are all We are important units of the country, and we all love our jobs and have no interest in doing business."
"Don't look at me, sir, I am also a backbone." Lin Zhenkai said.
The six children were all listening, and Doudou interjected: "Second uncle, satellites will no longer need film in the future, and film will be replaced by electronic information transmission." Lin Zhenkai felt incredible: "...Really?
"
Doudou Said very firmly: "That is inevitable."
Lin Huaixuan said: "Don't worry, even if the country no longer needs you R&D personnel, you will be placed in other jobs."
Lin Zhenkai: "...but I just want to research and develop Film."
Lin Xianwang's eyes lit up, and he obviously regarded Lin Zhenkai as a high-quality candidate, and said, "You can start your own factory to produce film."
Doudou said, "Satellites don't need film anymore. You don’t need film, but Erjiu, you can take advantage of the strong demand for film to earn a sum of money in the past 20 years, and then sell the film factory to the Japanese before the film industry declines.”
Lin Zhenkai was in a state of confusion. Why was he eliminated along with the film industry: "..." The
other five children are admirable. A genius is a genius. He has such a forward-looking and strategic vision.
Lin Xianwang turned his eyes around the faces of the two grandsons, looked at Lin Qiao again, and said, "You two brothers are the backbone, what about you?" Li Muhua was also a doctor, and said, "
Lin Qiao lived with bare feet all those years on the island. The doctor is almost the same, how high can you expect her to be? I heard the news that the country will open individual pharmacies in the future, and when the policy comes, we will open a pharmacy immediately." Lin Qiao said: "Although I have been a pharmacy for more than ten
years Barefoot doctor, but the country rewarded me, and I will go to graduate school next year, and I can take the expert route after finishing the book." Li Muhua said: "You'd better think about it, you are in your thirties. How tiring, it’s not as easy as opening a pharmacy, as long as the policy is liberalized, the state will put money in our pockets, if I’m twenty years younger, I won’t be able to use you.” The family meeting lasted for an hour and no results were reached. ——Chen Qicheng's grandfather has been recuperating in other places, and immediately invited Lin Xianwang out for tea after he came back. The two white-haired old men hadn't seen each other for many years, and they were deeply moved by this meeting. After talking about their respective situations, they mentioned their baby relatives back then. This was also on Grandpa Chen's mind. Although he was coerced by the tide of history and had to do it, it was the Chen family who failed the Lin family. This made him think about this matter for many years, and he felt guilty. Grandpa Chen said with regret and guilt in his words, "It wasn't that the Chen family didn't want to help the Lin family back then, but they were caught off guard and Lin Peiyuan was sent down. Furthermore, even if the Chen family wanted to help, the Chen family could not do anything about class status." Grandpa Chen shook his head helplessly.
Maybe the Lin family donated a lot of money and supplies during the war, and Lin Qiao's two older brothers' jobs were very important to national defense. Whether the Gu family's family background has sheltered the Lin family, Grandpa Chen thought, there must be.
Gu Lin has been doing his best to maintain the safety of the Lin family.
With a guilty conscience, he can only comfort himself by saying that the Chen family is not as capable as the Gu family, so naturally he dare not go up against the wind and marry the Lin family.
Lin Xianwang was very open-minded about this. Grandpa Chen participated in the awarding ceremony in 1955. He was a senior colonel. Before retiring, he was the deputy commander of a certain army. What will happen, it is of course the choice of most people to play wisely, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
He said: "The Lin family didn't have any extravagant expectations for anyone at that time. Of course, the fate of the family should be borne by the family itself. You can't count on anyone. It's all over. Don't mention these things. " Grandpa knew that they had a strong friendship. If the Lin family hadn't provided him with a huge amount of supplies, he might not have been able to achieve so many military exploits. It can be said that his achievements were based on the assistance of the Lin family. But when the Lin family was in trouble, he did not lend a helping hand. How open-minded the other party is to drink tea with him here in peace! Grandpa Chen said again: "Lin Qiao is one of the best girls in a hundred. I am very satisfied with her. Back then when my family went to withdraw from the marriage, I didn't know about it. If I knew, I would definitely block it. I can't help the Lin family. As long as I can protect Lin Qiao, I will do it too." I can feel at ease, but who knew that they retired without telling me, but Lin Qiao is a blessed person, and found a better one after resigning from my unworthy grandson." Grandpa Chen's mood is very complicated now, he thinks This incident became a hurdle that he couldn't let go of. Even if he was helpless in the general direction, he could do his little to the Lin family, but he didn't do anything. On the contrary, he couldn't wait to draw a clear line with the Lin family at that time, and was suspected of making trouble.
Lin Xianwang was deeply convinced, and said, "Indeed, our family Lin Qiao has found a more suitable and excellent partner, much better than Chen Qicheng. As for Gu Lin, our family is very satisfied with him. They are a harmonious husband and wife, and the family of five I have a good life."
Grandpa Chen felt that his grandson was as good as Gu Lin, a division commander and a battalion commander, and he said with emotion: "Fortunate people can only say that they are unlucky in the beginning." "If Gu
Lin In your day, he would have achieved greater achievements than you."
"Yes, the younger generation is awesome."
The two separated, Lin Xianwang shook his head slightly, and the friendship between the two stopped here, but they could sit together for a long time. Chatted a few words in a salty manner, similar to ordinary neighbors in the neighborhood.
He suddenly thought about it, the Chen family counts as one, they are all mediocre, and now they have to rely on Mr. They go into business.
Thinking of this, Lin Xianwang walked back home briskly.
——Although
Lin Peiyuan was not involved in buying back the old house, he felt at ease with the old house in hand.
Just before setting off, Lin Peiyuan came to Lin Qiao again and came up with a good idea to stimulate her mother. He said, "I want to stimulate your mother, maybe she will remember everything.
" Qiao thought it must not be a good idea, but said patiently: "Dad, tell me."
Lin Peiyuan said: "I used to have a female classmate when I was studying abroad. We met in the United States at that time, and the return time was roughly the same. , your mother insists on thinking that we have some ambiguous relationship, I promise, I don’t have any emotional relationship with anyone, but your mother has been struggling all her life, because she fights and fights with me, she is doing it herself I found an imaginary enemy. Of course, this is just one of them. There are many enemies your mother imagined. I want to find her. When your mother sees her, maybe she will remember me and the past. "
Lin Qiao said in surprise, "Dad, who gave you such a bad idea?"
"I found a psychiatrist. He said he wanted to untie your mother's knots. He gave me this suggestion. I think I can try it." Lin Peiyuan said.
"Dad, stop now, don't care what the experts say, it's absolutely not okay, I don't need to explain why it doesn't work, you better stop tossing, don't have any contact with female classmates, and don't contact me anymore, just follow me Mom, let's go out of town together." Lin Qiao said.
Lin Peiyuan was not persistent, and since his daughter objected, he said, "Forget it, I'm just thinking about it."
Since he said so, he would definitely give up this idea. She asked again: "Dad, how did you let my mother misunderstand?"
"She insisted on misunderstanding, what can I do!" Lin Peiyuan said naturally.
"You must have done something that caused her to misunderstand." Lin Qiao said in a firm tone.
Lin Peiyuan said: "I really didn't do anything. When your father was young, his family was rich, full of knowledge, handsome, and suave. You should be able to imagine that there will be many admirers of this kind of person. I really don't have to do anything deliberately. "
Seeing his daughter and son-in-law's expression of "I'll just listen to you quietly", Lin Peiyuan said, "...What do you two mean?"
Gu Lin held back his laughter.
Lin Qiao said: "Our family Gu Lin is also handsome, mighty, resolute and courageous, both in appearance and work ability are top-notch, why is no one flirting with him." She glanced at Gu Lin, "Cao Jingying is not counted."
Gu Lin was elated: "Am I so good?"
"You are so good." Lin Qiao said in affirmative tone.
Lin Peiyuan: "..."
"And you didn't explain it to my mother and let her misunderstand. Like me and Gu Lin, we never misunderstand each other." Lin Qiao said again.
Gu Lin seldom participated in the affairs of the Lin family, and said now: "Yes, Dad, there has never been any misunderstanding between Lin Qiao and I."
"And Gu Lin never looked at other women more than once, and never said a word to other women. He has always been very conscious and never gave anyone an opportunity, so I have no possibility of misunderstanding him." Gu Lin
said : "Other women are not as good-looking as you."
Lin Qiao laughed silently.
Lin Peiyuan: "...Your way of getting along is good, keep it up."
He seemed to have learned something from his daughter and son-in-law, but he didn't. He felt that the two were straightforward and nasty, and he couldn't bear it.
"Okay, Dad, you can go on a business trip. Even if my mother is on a trip, she will let it be if she can remember it or not, so you don't have to worry about it." Lin Qiao said.
"Okay." Lin Peiyuan said.
The brief exchange with his daughter made him feel a lot of relief, and he decided not to worry about whether Xu Manzhi recognized him or not.
So be it!
After Lin Peiyuan left, Gu Lin hugged his daughter-in-law and sucked on her cheek, and then let go until she was out of breath.
"Daughter-in-law, don't you think so? You think so highly of me." Gu Lin said.
"In the past, there were few women on the island, but now there are more women in the city. You must be the same as before. You can't look at any woman, not even a glance, you know?" Lin Qiao said.
"Do you need to tell me that?" Gu Lin liked jealous daughters-in-law, "I only have eyes for you."
Now Lin Qiao felt nauseous.
On the day of departure, Lin Qiao and Lin Zhenkai sent the two of them to the train station. They stood in the small square in front of the train station and waited for Han Wenwu. Seeing that there were relatively few people around, Lin Zhenkai said, "Mom, it's rare to go on a trip, so just relax outside. "
Lin Qiao jokingly said: "Dad, Mom gave you a chance, you have to behave well, if you behave well, maybe Mom will be fine."
The two bought platform tickets and sent the three of them to the train before leaving.
Walking to the outside of the station, Lin Zhenkai sighed: "I feel sorry for Dad now. Dad seemed to be very strong before, but Mom always has various ways to make him unhappy. They are evenly matched, but now Mom is strong and Dad is weak. Don't you feel sorry for your father's way of asking questions about the cold and asking for warmth, and being a little fuzzy?"
Lin Qiao felt that what the second brother said was not entirely correct, he said: "Now Dad knows how to take care of Mom, he will give her some advice. Luggage, I will walk slowly and wait for her, Mom is spoiled now, she has never been spoiled in her life, which woman doesn't want to be spoiled, this is fine now." ——Soon it was time for the college entrance examination,
going
around Xiao Shu had to take the college entrance examination. This year, he had to fill in the volunteers first and then take the exam. Both of them had good grades. Lin Qiao and the others were not worried about the exam results, but there was a little problem with the registration.
Xiaoshu had always wanted to be admitted to the military academy, but he changed his mind after returning to the city. He imagined his second uncle to study satellites, so he applied for a major in satellite communication and navigation technology.
Doudou will definitely apply for the military academy. Everyone wants him to go to the capital. After all, his great-grandfather, aunt, and uncle are all in the capital, and his grandparents will also go to the capital after retirement. He can be admitted to the best military academy in the capital.
But Doudou insisted on staying in Qingcheng to study in the military academy in Qingcheng. There are two military academies in Qingcheng, one is the Land Index Academy and the other is the Sea Index Academy. They are both command schools. After graduation, they will serve as platoon leaders, Company commanders of these cadres. DouDou originally said that he was an expert in military theory research. Of course, he had to go to a technical college, and he would be assigned to work in a scientific research unit after graduation.
Neither of the couple could persuade Doudou, he was very assertive and said that it would be good for him to stay in Qingcheng to study, but he said that he might leave Qingcheng in the future, but he wanted to stay with his parents for a few more years.
After the results of the college entrance examination came out, both of them were admitted to the university as they wished. Lin Hongshu went to the capital and got admitted to the ordnance major of Qingcheng Army Academy.
The night before Xiaoshu set off to report for work, the whole family had a lively dinner in the courtyard and raised their glasses to celebrate.
On the way home, Gu Lin drove, Lin Qiao sat in the passenger seat, and the three children sat in the back seat.
Nan Nan Bei Bei is very happy that his eldest brother is going to university locally, and Bei Bei said: "Elder brother will be with us for at least four years." "
Maybe my eldest brother will be assigned to work in Qingcheng after graduation." Nan Nan is very optimistic.
But they didn't guess that Doudou had shown amazing talent in school. Qingcheng Luzhi Academy felt that this unique and good seedling could not be buried. He was only a freshman, so he recommended him to Beijing National Defense University to study as a graduate student. .
Lin Qiao looked at the changing scenery outside the car window and said, "I think life is beautiful."
