Chapter 267 Demobilization
After watching the snow scene for a while, Song Yuanchao put on his cotton-padded jacket and took a shovel and broom to sweep the snow in the yard. The yard was not small, so it was a bit difficult for him to do this work alone, but Song Yuanchao didn't want to sweep all the snow away. It was so snowy.
Wouldn't it be a big disgrace to the scenery if it was swept clean?
Song Yuanchao just cleaned the place where people passed by. After doing this, he was sweating all over his body and his forehead was steaming.
After returning to the house, he wiped his sweat, rested for a while and changed his clothes again. Song Yuanchao went to the west wing to pick up the gifts he had prepared, and then he rolled out his bicycle and went out.
The alley was full of joy and the festive atmosphere was very strong. Several naughty children ran around with firecrackers in their pockets and lighted cotton threads or incense in their hands. From time to time they threw a firecracker, laughing and playing around.
"Xiao Song, are you going out?" The neighbor's aunt greeted Song Yuanchao warmly when she saw him pushing his bicycle out.
"Good morning, aunt, yes, let's go out." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile.
"Have you spent the New Year in Beijing this year?" Auntie knew that Song Yuanchao was from Shanghai. Last year, Song Yuanchao went back to Shanghai to celebrate the Chinese New Year, but today is already New Year's Eve and Song Yuanchao hasn't gone back yet.
"Yes, I won't go back this year if something happens."
"Are you going to Yanzi's house?" Lin Yan has been to this yard many times. The neighbors have known each other for a long time, and they also know that Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan are a couple. The aunt looked at Song Yuanchao's handlebars hanging full of new year's goods.
Asked with a smile.
"You are wise!" Song Yuanchao gave a thumbs up to his aunt.
"What the hell, didn't you see this at a glance? You are still doing this with your aunt." The aunt laughed happily, and then asked Song Yuanchao in a gossipy way when he could eat his and Lin Yan's wedding candies.
Regarding this question, Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "Soon, soon." As for nothing else, he didn't say much else. After the two chatted for a while, Song Yuanchao got on the car and drove away.
Speaking of Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan's marriage, it is indeed true that he and Lin Yan are not young at all, and can be regarded as older unmarried young people from today's young people.
As Lin Yan's graduation is approaching, the marriage of the two is also in sight. Some time ago, Chen Yuqin took the initiative to mention this matter. According to her intention, the two children have known each other for so many years, and this matter should be considered.
It would not be good for them to drag it on, not to mention that Chen Yuqin has been thinking about having a grandson, but the matter between Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin has not been settled yet, and Luo Lin has not come back.
Not to mention Lin Jianhang, who can't even see his mother in the army. God knows when he will get married. Since Chen Yuqin, who is anxious, can't hold a grandson for a while, it would be better to give up and have a grandson.
In addition, Chen Yuqin has seen what kind of person Song Yuanchao is for more than a year. As time goes by, Chen Yuqin has long forgotten about the introduction of Zhao Minglei, and only thinks about making these two children successful as soon as possible.
.
Song Yuanchao wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Yuqin's hope, not to mention Lin Yan. However, the conversation between Lin Daoyuan and Song Yuanchao was still in his ears. Although Song Yuanchao agreed in his heart, he was worried that Lin Daoyuan would not agree.
But who would have thought that when Chen Yuqin and Lin Daoyuan mentioned this, Lin Daoyuan had no objection, so the marriage of the two was settled.
Taking into account Lin Yan's graduation at the end of this year, after discussion, the matter was scheduled for New Year's Day in 1982. Although there is still nearly a year until New Year's Day next year, whether it is Song Yuanchao or Lin Yan, after hearing the two old people talking about this
After the decision was made, I was very excited.
He hummed a little tune and rode on his bicycle, and arrived at Lin's house half an hour later. He parked the car downstairs, carried his things and went upstairs. He knocked on the door, and it was Lin Yan who opened the door. Looking at her smiling face at him, Song Yuanchao just felt
The sun is always bright.
"Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a while."
"Haha, didn't it snow last night? It was too late to sweep the yard after I got up. Isn't it too late?" Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.
"Look at how beautiful you are, why should I be anxious if you're not anxious?" Lin Yan rolled her eyes at Song Yuanchao, then smiled and directly reached out to hold Song Yuanchao's arm, and suddenly leaned forward and kissed Song Yuanchao when no one in the room was paying attention.
"You have worked hard to help my second brother these days, so I will reward you." After the kiss, Lin Yan said to Song Yuanchao with a smile. Song Yuanchao touched the place where she had kissed, and was even recalling the warm and slightly moist feeling.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Yanzi, have Yuanchao come? Why are you muttering at the door? Why don't you let Yuanchao come in?" Chen Yuqin's voice came from the room, and Lin Yan quickly responded and said that Song Yuanchao was here, Song Yuanchao
He also replied and then carried his things through the door.
"Come on, come on, Yuan Chao, you're here just in time. Help me wrap these dumplings. We will eat dumplings later." Chen Yuqin, who was rolling out dumpling wrappers in the living room, was very happy to see Song Yuan Chao coming and greeted him quickly.
Hold him.
Song Yuanchao responded, handed the things to Lin Yan, took off his coat and went to the kitchen to wash his hands. He returned to the living room and rolled up his sleeves to help.
"Where are uncle and second brother? They are not here?"
"The old man went to the office. He has been working hard today on New Year's Eve. He might not be able to come back until dinner. The second brother, like his father, ran off to who knows where early in the morning. I guess he is in the factory now." Chen Yuqin
He was busy talking with his hands, complaining about the father and son in his words.
After all, it was New Year's Eve today, and both men in the family were gone, leaving her and Yanzi busy at home. If Song Yuanchao hadn't been celebrating the New Year in Yanjing this year, he might not have seen them at the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
"There is nothing we can do about my uncle's busy work. The whole country is in desperate need of development, and the country is in the process of reform and opening up again." Song Yuanchao said something for Lin Daoyuan. The nature of Lin Daoyuan's work destined the importance of his work.
Since he met Lin Daoyuan, Song Yuanchao has rarely seen him when he is not busy. Even if he is at home, he rarely has free time. Maybe he is resting one moment and calling him the next moment.
"I won't talk about the old man. I've gotten used to it after so many years." Chen Yuqin sighed, shook his head and said, "But is it necessary for your second brother to go to the factory on New Year's Eve? Why does such a broken factory have to do this?
Time has passed? I was opposed to him when he went there, but this boy is a stubborn donkey just like his father. Alas, I can't persuade him."
Chen Yuqin also knew something about the situation at Factory No. 8, especially since Lin Yuhang was busy every day after going to Factory No. 8. He would go out early in the morning and come home late at night. Even when he got home, he would often stay up late writing, reading, etc.
My brows have been furrowed every day. After more than a month, this already thin person has lost a lot of weight. The mother sees it in her eyes and feels pain in her heart. I really don’t understand why Lin Yuhang doesn’t go to so many good units and good positions.
I just want to go to this Broken Eighth Factory.
"Second brother also wants to work. The situation in No. 8 Factory is not optimistic. Second brother has just arrived and has a heavy responsibility. But don't worry, it will be fine after a while. When second brother straightens out the situation in No. 8 Factory, everything will be on track.
He’s not so busy on the tracks.”
"I hope so." Chen Yuqin nodded helplessly. It's not that she didn't understand the truth, but often her thoughts would be different when it was her turn. Under Song Yuanchao's persuasion, Chen Yuqin gradually had a smile on her face, and temporarily put this aside.
The matter between father and son was put aside.
At noon, we had dumplings.
After eating the dumplings, Song Yuanchao helped with the house cleaning. On New Year's Eve, it is a tradition to clean the house to remove the old and welcome the new. Today is the last day of the year, so the house should be cleaned cleanly to usher in the new year tomorrow.
While he was busy, there was a knock on the door. Song Yuanchao couldn't move his hands and quickly called Lin Yan, who was packing things in the house, to open the door. Lin Yan hurriedly ran to the door. When she opened the door, she was stunned, and then she heard a happy cry.
screams came.
"Linlin! Why are you back? When did you come back?"
Lin Yan excitedly held up the person's hands. The person here was none other than Luo Lin.
Hearing that Luo Lin was coming, Chen Yuqin rushed over. When she saw Luo Lin standing at the door, she laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She quickly greeted Luo Lin into the house.
After entering the house, Luo Lin saw Song Yuanchao mopping the floor with a mop. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she glanced meaningfully at Lin Yan beside her.
"Yanzi, are you close to helping Korea?" Luo Lin asked Lin Yan in Lin Yan's ear when Chen Yuqin wasn't paying attention.
Lin Yan's face suddenly turned red, she hesitated and said something in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them. After hearing this, Luo Lin smiled brightly, and then greeted Song Yuanchao.
"Yanzi, please greet Luo Lin first. This work will be done soon." Song Yuanchao and Luo Lin are not outsiders. They have been familiar with each other since they were in Spring City, not to mention Lin Yuhang's relationship.
After asking Luo Lin to sit down, Lin Yan couldn't wait to ask when Luo Lin would come back.
Luo Lin smiled and told Lin Yan and Chen Yuqin that they came back last night. Since they came back late, they didn't come to visit yesterday. They took care of some family matters this morning and came here specially to sit down.
"Linlin, are you demobilized?" Chen Yuqin asked looking at Luo Lin's dress.
"Yes, auntie, I have been in the art troupe for many years. After all these years, I am not young anymore. There is no need to continue to stay. There happened to be a unit here to accept me. I was afraid of missing the opportunity, so I reported for demobilization.
Luo Lin thanked her first, took the tea from Chen Yuqin, and then explained.
"The work has been arranged? In what unit?" Chen Yuqin asked enthusiastically
"Song and Dance Troupe." Rowling replied with a smile.
"Song and dance troupe? What are you doing there?" Chen Yuqin frowned slightly. Although the song and dance troupe sounds good and has a great reputation, this unit is actually not that good. The key is that the song and dance troupe mainly performs folk songs and dances, and there is a lot of competition.
It's intense.
Luo Lin mainly sang in the military area art troupe. Although she could also sing folk songs, she was still slightly worse than those with a professional background. Moreover, the art troupe and the song and dance troupe were fundamentally different. It was difficult for Luo Lin to stand out there.
It would be better to go to another more suitable unit.
"I think the song and dance troupe is not bad. There are such teachers in it. I can ask for advice frequently in the future to improve my professional level." Luo Lin didn't think anything of it. In her heart, it didn't matter which unit she went to, as long as she could return to Yanjing.
