old days(7)

In the family area of ​​​​the military camp, everything is good, but the same is not good, and no one wants to sleep in.

When you wake up in the morning and the wake-up call sounds, how can you still sleep?

When it snows heavily at night, cats are actually most comfortable in bed.

Lin Yutong turned over, and the old lady smiled beside him and asked: "Are you awake?"

Maybe she knew it was safe here, so she slept very soundly all night. She turned over and lay down again, said "Hmm", and stretched again: "The kang is warm, and the fire in the room is also warm." She didn't really think of it.

!

The house we live in now is much better than the house at home that leaked air everywhere.

This house was originally a shop. There is a shop in the front and a yard in the back. It is a brick house, but it has been vacant for two years and looks a little dilapidated. In fact, this house is really a good house. It was purchased by a traitor for his young wife.

. Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang also investigated some of the properties of the traitors. This is how this courtyard came to be.

The shop in front has three large fronts, and there are two corner rooms in the yard.

There are three lobby rooms at the back and two buildings on both sides. For the few people living in my family, one room is enough for each person.

However, because the weather was cold and I wanted to save charcoal, I tidied up two rooms. Just like in my hometown, there was one room for men and one room for women.

Chang Qiuyun said this when there are many people when cleaning the house.

He probably wanted to avoid suspicion. When Lin Baichuan came in and out, he had to at least look at my mother. If you said one person per room, you might not know what the news would be like. If your mother-in-law and daughter live together, then that's it.

What can a couple do? They are working in the melon fields and plum trees, so they can spread unpleasant words.

Therefore, the door of the wing room was always locked.

After people settled in, their hearts felt at ease. After lying in bed for two minutes, there was the sound of snow sweeping outside. It was the fourth master and Ohara Dai?? who got up. Lin Yutong put on clothes and asked the fourth master through the window:

"Are you going to the steel rolling mill today?"

If there is such a way, it is better to plan ahead.

He is different from Ohara and Ou??. He relies on the men of the Yue family for everything, and he doesn't speak forcefully. Is the fourth master the kind of person who wants others to arrange things?

Although this letter of recommendation was for Lin Baichuan's sake, it was sent to the fourth master after all.

Giving favors to my family is bound to be used by others. When I say it, I just want to ask myself and Fourth Master to have a word in front of Lin Baichuan.

But having said that, this moment is another moment, whether it is necessary or not to speak when the time comes, we will talk about it separately.

The fourth master said: "Go! Let's go after eating."

"I'll go with you." The old lady who got up early was holding her cotton-padded jacket and trousers against the kang, and it was still warm when she put it in.

Chang Qiuyun said: "Just ask your brother to follow me. You are a little brat, why are you always following me?"

"I'm going to get acquainted with the provincial capital." Lin Yutong said to Chang Qiuyun while buttoning his clothes, "I'll have to take you around in the morning. In the future, you said you want to work in a service agency. What does a service agency do?

Yes? Isn't it just to get some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles, thread, toothpaste, soap, towels, etc., so that it can be convenient for everyone to buy. You said that you are staying at home, but you can't figure out where to buy goods, and you can't find any cheap goods.

If not, who else can I serve? I can’t even serve you well.”

It sounds like this is true.

After washing up, and as soon as the meal was served, Lin Baichuan came. He came directly from the morning training with the troops.

However, he was carrying a net bag with two aluminum lunch boxes in his hand. After entering the door, Da?? leaned over with a playful smile: "Dad is here." As he said that, he poked Ohara who was sweeping the snow with the broom to remind him.

he.

Without even raising his head, Da Yuan called out in a muffled voice: "Dad."

The fourth master only called him "Mr. Lin" and then pointed inside, "We're all up, it's time to eat. Let's go inside first."

"What do you call me Senior?" Lin Baichuan asked, "Who am I to you? You call me Senior? Are you aggrieved by the fact that you want to marry my daughter?"

The Fourth Master didn't say "Dad" out loud. Chang Qiuyun shouted from inside: "If you want to eat, hurry up. You guys are still not too cold."

I disliked the cold, so I ate on the kang. The kang table was put down and we gathered around, but it was actually a bit crowded.

Lin Baichuan opened the lunch box: "Look, what are you bringing?"

There are two lunch boxes, one contains scrambled eggs with green onions and the other contains tofu curd.

Both of these things are rare.

Chang Qiuyun grabbed the lunch box and divided it directly. The old lady shared one-third, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master shared one-third, and the two brothers shared the remaining one-third, and that was it.

.

The two brothers gave Chang Qiuyun half of his bowl, "If you don't eat it, it will be poured out."

Lin Yutong gave his share to Lin Baichuan, and then placed Fourth Master's share between the two of them, "Let's have one share."

Determined not to move the old lady.

After sharing, we eat. No one feels awkward except Lin Baichuan. If there is delicious food at home, this is usually how it is shared.

But when Lin Baichuan looked at it, it was hard to describe the taste.

This has become a natural habit. It can be seen that my mother is at home, even if she does not have her own son, she is not treated lightly by anyone. Over the years, he has seen many poor people and sad things.

To save the children from stuttering, they threw away the old people. But this... must be a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes.

At the dinner table, the family gathered together and tried to avoid unpleasant topics. Lin Baichuan said: "When I came in just now, what did you say about the steel rolling mill? Who wants to go to the steel rolling mill?"

"I'll go." Fourth Master showed him the letter of introduction and recommendation by the way, "Let's go take a look first..."

"Very good!" Lin Baichuan laughed and returned the letter of recommendation directly to Fourth Master: "There is no steel rolling mill now. You can walk eleven or twelve miles west along the military camp. There is a sign that has just been erected over there.

'115 Factory' is right there."

This is much better than expected.

After dinner, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master went out to the 115th Factory.

As we walked down the road, it became more and more remote.

Originally, the military camp was located in a remote location, but now it's great. Going forward past the military camp, you can hardly see any human beings.

There was grassy beach on both sides of the road, and the two of them had to help each other to avoid slipping into the ice nests on the side.

Of course, it seems biased now, but in three or two years, this place is destined to become prosperous.

It belongs to the national defense industry, and this land is probably allocated to 115.

After walking for more than half an hour, the road widened at this turn. There was a sign on the side of the road with the words '115' written on it. Under the three big characters, there was an arrow drawn, pointing towards the arrow.

Looking in the direction, there were indeed several houses a few hundred meters away. Lin Yutong felt a little cold as she walked over.

Because apart from a row of bungalows, it is just a simple factory building. You can tell without looking at it that the number of machines and equipment inside is very limited.

The guard was a middle-aged man with a somewhat handicapped arm. He must have just come off the army. He looked at people as if everyone was an enemy.

It was easy to get in. There were not many people inside.

Miao Jiafu, the comrade who found Tian Zhanyou, was very enthusiastic: "... As soon as you set off, Lao Tian called me to inform me. No, I haven't gone anywhere in the past two days, I'm just waiting for you.

"

"I have some personal matters, so I'm delayed." Fourth Master handed over the letter of introduction, "Is the factory shutting down?"

"We are making preparations." Miao Jiafu said: "As for you, tell me your situation first, fill out a form, and we will have someone specially assigned to review it. The results of the review will be available in two or three months, probably after the year.

Well, I'll send you a telegram. Just leave an address and make sure you don't write it wrong. Lao Tian has told me about your situation, so there must be no problem. Just go home and wait for notification."

This pole will be held until next year.

Lin Yutong definitely doesn't want to be too far away from Fourth Master. This unit is of course the best.

So I asked people, "Are you still recruiting people?"

This person was in a dilemma: "First of all, we need to strengthen the security team, the scientific research team, and of course, the most important thing is the technicians."

So, if you don’t have any special skills, forget it.

Arrested for interview?

No!

I didn't even qualify for the interview.

Lin Yutong laughed: "Forget it, forget it, find another way."

The fourth master laughed so hard: "From now on, you will belong to the family. If you come here, there will definitely be other arrangements for your work. Why are you anxious? Let's have fun!" Nowadays, in addition to not having good food, clothing, and housing,

, there’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t feel tired!

Too!

I took advantage of my free time to get familiar with this provincial capital.

The question now is, there are still two or three months to give notice. Should the fourth master go back to his hometown or not?

"I won't go back!" Chang Qiuyun said, "Why go back? Whatever happened a year ago, we have to go back to visit your father's grave. The fourth child will go back to meet his parents and then come back. It will also save travel expenses."

My aunt-to-be always lives in my father-in-law’s house?
