Chapter 367 Recalling the old things
"Do you still need what I said back then?" Lin Daoyuan suddenly asked again.
Song Yuanchao was immediately stunned. Lin Daoyuan had talked too much with him. What did he mean when he suddenly said such a sentence without a clue? Song Yuanchao was in a daze for a while.
"Can't remember? You have such a poor memory at such a young age? But that's right. You and Yanzi have already finished your affairs after all. As an old man, I have probably forgotten what you said."
Seeing Lin Daoyuan looking at him with a half-smile, Song Yuanchao racked his brains to think about it, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and Song Yuanchao finally remembered.
"Dad, are you talking about what you told me when we first met?"
"Hahaha, I thought you had Alzheimer's disease at such a young age. What happened? You finally remembered?" Lin Daoyuan laughed.
Song Yuanchao smiled and rubbed his hands together and nodded: "I remember it. I remember it. How could I forget what you always said? I just didn't react at the moment."
"You, it's not that you didn't react, it's that you don't take it seriously anymore." Lin Daoyuan unceremoniously revealed Song Yuanchao's background.
Song Yuanchao's face turned red and he looked embarrassed.
That year, Lin Daoyuan met Song Yuanchao for the first time. After the two talked, Lin Daoyuan deliberately pushed Lin Yan away and said something to Song Yuanchao.
In these words, Lin Daoyuan agreed to the free love between Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan, thus showing his open-minded attitude towards this matter. At the same time, Lin Daoyuan also solemnly mentioned that if Song Yuanchao really wanted to marry Lin Yan
, in addition to the love between the two, as the father-in-law, he also has to give Song Yuanchao a test. If Song Yuanchao can pass this test, Lin Daoyuan will agree to their marriage.
At that time, Song Yuanchao agreed without even thinking about it. After that meeting, Song Yuanchao truly became Lin Yan's target. Later, he visited Lin Yan's house openly and solemnly, confirming the relationship.
As time went by, the relationship between Song Yuanchao and the Lin family became closer and closer. Especially Chen Yuqin, who was still a little dissatisfied with Song Yuanchao at first, gradually changed his attitude in subsequent contacts. Not only did he become enthusiastic about Song Yuanchao, but he also accepted Song Yuanchao from the bottom of his heart.
Prospective son-in-law.
Later, Lin Yuhang was injured in an accident on the front line. Song Yuanchao traveled thousands of miles to take care of him on behalf of the Lin family, which moved Chen Yuqin even more. From that time on, Chen Yuqin truly recognized Song Yuanchao. When Chen Yuqin's attitude completely changed, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan
Things will fall into place.
Originally, Song Yuanchao was still thinking about the condition that Lin Daoyuan proposed to him, which was a test for him. But then he and Lin Yanshui came to an end, and after their marriage was settled on Chen Yuqin's suggestion, Lin Daoyuan did not mention it again.
thing.
Now, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan have officially become husband and wife, and Song Yuanchao has gradually forgotten the past. He even feels that Lin Daoyuan may have forgotten what he said to him at the beginning, and naturally there will be no more tests.
No more necessary.
But who would have thought that Lin Daoyuan would suddenly bring up the past again today, which surprised Song Yuanchao.
"Look at what you said. If I didn't keep what you said in my heart, I wouldn't have thought of it just now, right? By the way, Dad, why did you suddenly mention this? Are you still planning to test me?
"Song Yuanchao calmed down, said with a smile, and handed one to Lin Daoyuan who had finished smoking.
He took the cigarette and pointed at Song Yuanchao with the unlit cigarette: "You kid, what did I just say about you? Sophisticated, smooth, are you doing this again?"
Song Yuanchao laughed without refuting, picked up the fire and helped Lin Daoyuan light the cigarette.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Lin Daoyuan said: "When I mentioned the test, I did have this idea at that time, but later I agreed to your marriage to Yanzi, so I didn't mention it again."
"Now that you and Yan Zi are married, the requirements you mentioned at the beginning seem to be meaningless from this point of view, but I think there should still be tests, but you can put it another way and regard the tests as a kind of tempering for you.
, which will be good for your future growth."
Thinking about the meaning of Lin Daoyuan's words, Song Yuanchao vaguely understood Lin Daoyuan's thoughts, but was a little unsure.
"You will graduate next year." Lin Daoyuan said. Lin Daoyuan had mentioned the time when Song Yuanchao would graduate before, but this time he meant something different.
"What are your plans after graduation? Are they still the same ideas you told me at the beginning?"
"This should be about the same." Song Yuanchao said sheepishly: "On the one hand, it depends on the school allocation, and on the other hand, it also depends on Yanzi. What do you think?"
"You have some conscience." Lin Daoyuan nodded. Song Yuanchao's second meaning was very clear, that is, Lin Yan's work and life are the main focus. He would try his best to cooperate with Lin Yan after graduation. If Lin Yan works in Yanjing,
Song Yuanchao will continue to stay in Yanjing. The two are now husband and wife. They can't live in two different places after getting married, right?
"If I say you don't have to think about Yanzi, what do you think?" Lin Daoyuan continued to ask.
"Dad, it's too early to mention this now. Calculating, I still have a year and a half before graduation. No one can predict what changes will happen in the next year and a half, but I am certain of one thing.
Yanzi and I will never separate."
"So, you haven't decided yet, right?" Lin Daoyuan asked again.
Song Yuanchao hesitated and nodded and said yes.
"In this case, let me help you make a choice." Lin Daoyuan said suddenly.
"you……?"
"What? Don't want to?"
"No, no, that's possible. It's just a bit unexpected." Song Yuanchao quickly shook his head and explained.
Lin Daoyuan said with a smile: "I asked someone to find out. Although your boy's academic performance in school is not top-notch, it is pretty good. Moreover, in the four years of college, he has basically learned everything he can learn in the first three years, except for the fourth year.
The final defense is the internship.”
"You are a rare talent. I don't deny this, otherwise I would not agree to your marriage to Yanzi. But good iron needs to be tempered hundreds of times, and only by tempering it hundreds of times can it truly become steel. Stay in school with your abilities and ideas
It's just a waste of time and a waste of life. Remember, it is not necessary to have the idea of being a small farmer as my son-in-law, Lin Daoyuan, and the idea of having a wife and children on the hot bed is even more unacceptable. Only by making achievements and having something real in hand can you do it.
He is my son-in-law!"
"So you don't have to go to school in the fourth year of Beijing Normal University. You don't have to worry about the school. I will make arrangements for you. In the last year before graduation, I will give you a test. It will be regarded as completing the expectations you gave me back then.
How about a promise?”
Lin Daoyuan's words were beyond Song Yuanchao's expectation. He never expected that Lin Daoyuan would arrange this for him, which directly made him unprepared.
Immediately, Song Yuanchao asked what kind of test it was, and Lin Daoyuan told him that he would choose a company for Song Yuanchao to work in. Song Yuanchao must make satisfactory results in this company during his final year of college. If it is completed, then
Song Yuanchao passed his test. If Lin Daoyuan was not satisfied, then the test would be unqualified. As for the result of failure, Lin Daoyuan did not say, but Song Yuanchao felt that it would not be a good thing.
As for what kind of company this was, and what kind of identity Song Yuanchao was going there under, Lin Daoyuan did not tell Song Yuanchao, but just asked him to prepare in advance and wait for his notification.
Song Yuanchao really couldn't refuse this decision, so he had no choice but to agree immediately.
According to custom, you can't have dinner at your parents' house on the day you return home, so Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan left in the evening. On the way home, Song Yuanchao was still thinking about what Lin Daoyuan said to him today. I'm afraid Lin Daoyuan today
What I told him was something I had already thought carefully about, and it was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment idea.
In addition, Lin Daoyuan is about to go to work somewhere. It is still unclear where Lin Daoyuan will go to work, let alone what position he will hold after going there. But subconsciously, Song Yuanchao felt that maybe the two things could be connected.
Together, there is Lin Daoyuan's deep meaning in it.
"What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought all the way?" When they got home, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask as soon as Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan entered the yard.
"Do you know that dad is going to work somewhere?" Song Yuanchao asked after coming back to his senses.
"Dad is going somewhere to work? Did he tell you?" This was the first time Lin Yan heard such a thing, and she was immediately surprised.
Song Yuanchao nodded: "He mentioned it when I was having tea with him in the study in the afternoon, but I don't know exactly how to arrange it or when to go."
Lin Yan complained: "My mother didn't say anything about this. Could it be that I told you alone? My father really did."
"Maybe he thinks it's not time to talk about it yet. By the way, you just need to know this in your heart, but don't tell others. Since dad didn't tell mom and others about it, I'm afraid he has his own ideas."
Lin Yan nodded, then thought about it and laughed: "Actually, you don't know, my dad has always wanted to work somewhere. He first worked there, but it didn't last long and then he was transferred back to Yanjing.
, I have been working in ministries and commissions for so many years, and I always think about the past when I worked in the local area, and I want to work in the local area again, but I just don’t have this opportunity. It’s better now. It would be good if his superiors arrange for him to work in the local area.
, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."
"There is actually such a saying?" Song Yuanchao was surprised.
"Well, actually he had a chance more than ten years ago, but unfortunately something happened and he didn't go, and then we moved home..." Lin Yan did not continue talking, but there was something in her words.
Song Yuanchao understood what he wanted to say.
"My dad has been working in the Planning Commission for these years, but he always feels that sitting in an office is more suitable for him than going somewhere to do some practical work. Not only do I know this, but my mother and brother also know it in their hearts. Now he finally goes there again
I think he must have said this to you today with a smile, and maybe even a little proud."
Song Yuanchao couldn't help but recall Lin Daoyuan's expression at that time. It was indeed as Lin Yan said. Lin Daoyuan's expression had a hint of smile. It was unclear whether he was proud or not. Song Yuanchao couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of this.
