Lin Dafu concealed his sadness after leaving the cemetery. He had already told the whole story.
Presumably, his wife Wang Mei has forgiven him!
After arriving in the city, he returned to the courtyard. When people in the courtyard saw him, they all greeted him with a smile, and Lin Dafu also smiled in response.
When I returned to the house, I saw my daughter-in-law cooking and the old lady watching the three children walking on their walkers.
When the old lady saw him, she thought of something and stopped talking.
She had imagined that Lin Jiuguo's father would come back, and how would she, an old woman, face it?
Lin Dafu stretched out his hand to pick one up, teased it for a few times, and then burst into laughter. Seeing the old lady's troubled look, he thought thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Old lady, I see the children playing in the park are quite cute.
There are many, how about we take these three children over to have a look."
Hearing this, the old lady nodded. She knew that Lin Dafu had something to say to her.
The two put the three children in the stroller and pushed them out. Li Xiuzhi walked out of the kitchen with a trace of worry in her eyes.
In the park, the old lady was familiar with the old ladies and old men here and said hello, and some of them recognized Lin Dafu. After all, Lin Dafu used to work in the steel rolling mill, and he was quite capable.
After talking for a while, when they saw that the two of them had something to talk about, the others dispersed.
The breeze blows, the hot summer has faded, and the weather in the north is beginning to feel cooler.
"Old lady, I don't have time at home. Thank you for taking care of my family."
Lin Dafu thanked him first. The old lady listened, shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not me taking care of the children, it's them taking care of me, an old woman."
Listening, Lin Dafu smiled and said: "Then we won't say who cares about whom, we are all a family, and we will live a prosperous life from now on."
Family? When the old lady heard this and saw that Lin Dafu was not perfunctory, she immediately smiled and smiled very happily.
She was also afraid that Lin Dafu would not agree to this matter when he came back. She, an old woman, could no longer live without the Lin family and her three great-grandsons.
Seeing the old lady's smile, Lin Dafu also laughed from the bottom of his heart and said: "Old lady, if my country had not made such a decision at that time, I would have to teach him a profound lesson when I came back."
As he spoke, he looked at the old lady sincerely and said word by word: "When you grow old, treat me as your son, and I will take care of you in your old age."
"You should always live happily and watch this country become better step by step. I think that their spirits in heaven also hope that you will always look after them and take good care of them...
…”
"Okay!" The old lady didn't cry, but smiled. Why was she crying? She should be smiling now.
Whether it's for yourself or for others.
Even an old woman like me should be smiling!
She smiled, and Lin Dafu also smiled. He couldn't do much, but he had to do what he could do, because only by doing it would he feel at ease.
The two talked like a mother and son, both talking about some of their own things and laughing from time to time.
When the two took their three children home for lunch, the vague barrier was gone. Li Xiuzhi felt it and immediately smiled from the bottom of her heart.
The family was having a meal. After the meal was finished, Lin Dafu asked his daughter-in-law Li Xiuzhi about the home of Wang Dafa, the master of Linjiaguo.
"Dad, why don't we go over together to thank him after get off work at home?" Li Xiuzhi said, she probably already knew what her father-in-law was going to do.
"I'll go there myself." Lin Dafu laughed and said, "This is my gratitude as a father, thanking him for taking good care of my son."
Li Xiuzhi stopped trying to persuade her. The old lady sighed slightly and said, "Dafu, you really should thank me. I don't know how long Wang Dafa's body can last."
"Thankfully you are back now. If you had waited until he was gone and then come back, it would be a regret in your heart."
"Yeah!" Lin Dafu nodded, said a few words, and went out first.
I went to buy gifts first, and then went to Wang Dafa's house. The two were not familiar with each other before, but they both knew each other's names. After all, one was a chef and the other was a very skilled worker.
After the meeting, Lin Dafu introduced himself and bowed deeply to Wang Dafa.
"Brother Wang, thank you for taking care of my son's country."
"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Wang Dafa helped him up and said, "Brother Lin, let's sit down and talk first."
After Lin Dafu thanked him again, he sat down and the two started chatting. The main reason was that Wang Dafa asked again. He wanted to see what this man was thinking when he came back, and he didn't want to deceive his apprentice.
Although this man is the father of his apprentice Lin Jiaguo, Wang Dafa still has to test what he should. Over the years, he has long treated Lin Jiaguo as his own son. If this man really has his thoughts, then don't blame him for being rude.
.
Lin Dafu also sensed some of Wang Dafa's defensive thoughts. He was not angry, but even happier. He was happy for his son Lin Jiaguo. How lucky he was to meet such a good master.
In addition to things that should be kept secret, Lin Dafu also talked about some things about himself. As they chatted, Wang Dafa felt relieved. After he felt relieved, he suddenly became much more cheerful.
After cooking a few dishes, the two started drinking, and the more they chatted, the happier they became.
"It'll be good if you come back. You'll have someone to rely on in the future. My body only lasts for a year or two."
Wang Dafa smiled and continued: "I know that one person can support the family and the country, but it is too hard. If there is an elder in the family, he can be more relaxed."
Lin Dafu nodded. His son, Lin Jiaguo, now has an elder and a younger son. It will be hard for the young couple to support a family.
"Brother, thank you very much." Lin Dafu thanked him again. Because of Wang Dafa, his son could find a way out. Otherwise, at his current age, let alone getting married, he would be able to take care of everything.
It's pretty good on its own.
Wang Dafa laughed loudly, raised his glass, and clinked a glass with Lin Dafu. After drinking it down, he said with joy, "I am a blessed person. I have a harmonious and happy family, and I have an apprentice named Jiaguo who has passed down my craftsmanship."
"Now we have two disciples in our country. In the future, if he really goes that far, he will not be able to avoid my name, Wang Dafa. Even if he goes, those old guys will have to remember me."
Listening to this, Lin Dafu also laughed. He knew what Wang Dafa meant. A person who has followed a path to a certain level is a master. If there is a master chef apprentice, Wang Dafa can be regarded as leaving his name for future generations.
"Brother, how far can our country really go?" Lin Dafu asked, thinking of the secret celebration banquet that he and others attended. It was a state banquet chef. Lin Dafu could remember that taste for a long time.
.
"Yes!" Wang Dafa said confidently and energetically: "Ten years from now, my country will definitely have a place in the culinary world, and twenty years from now, he will definitely be able to form his own school."
"Haha, twenty years later, he will be in his forties, which is a man's peak period."
Hearing this, Lin Dafu also laughed happily. Wang Dafa's meaning was already clear. If Lin Jiaguo, who is in his forties, can really become a faction of his own, he will have at least twenty years to expand his influence.
, no wonder this old man is so confident.
The two of them were chatting and drinking, and they were both a little drunk. Seeing that Wang Dafa wanted to get some wine, Lin Dafu smiled and said: "Brother, let's go to my house to drink. When Jia Guo gets off work, let him cook some good dishes, and I will do the same."
I wonder how good his craftsmanship is now."
"Okay!" Wang Dafa nodded happily, and after he tidied up a little, the two of them went to the courtyard.
At the steel rolling mill, during the free time at noon, Lin Jiaguo went home and asked his wife Xiuzhi to buy some vegetables first and cook a good meal when he came back in the evening.
After learning that his father, Lin Dafu, had gone to his master's house, Lin Jiaguo told his wife Xiuzhi a few words before returning to the steel rolling mill and continuing to work.
Back at the steel rolling mill, Lin Jiaguo informed his two apprentices that they would go to the courtyard for dinner after get off work in the evening.
When they heard that the master's father was back and saw that there was no barrier between them, the two apprentices were a little confused. However, they remembered that when their master was drinking with Kang Wu, he often complained about his father Lin Dafu.
"Brother, you said you won't fight, right?" Hu Kui muttered softly, with a worried look on his face. Xu Dahu also looked melancholy and said with a guilty conscience: "When the time comes, we will act according to the opportunity. If the situation really goes wrong, we must bring the master to justice."
Hold on, otherwise things will get bigger, who knows how far some people will arrange the master."
"Yeah!" Hu Kui nodded heavily. The two brothers looked at each other and then went about their business.
After work, the two of them went shopping first, and then went to the courtyard.
Lin Jiaguo didn't know that his two apprentices had made "explosion-proof" preparations. After returning to the courtyard, he saw his master and his father chatting, and Brother Jun and his sister-in-law Zhang Qin were also there. When they knew that Lin Dafu came back, they also came
When I got here, I was afraid that Lin Jiaguo or Lin Dafu would cause trouble.
When they saw that the father and son really had no intention of quarreling with each other, they breathed a sigh of relief.
When Hu Kui and Xu Dahu arrived with their things, and after greeting their master, they formally met Lin Dafu. Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little confused.
Lin Jiaguo took his two apprentices into the kitchen and started to get busy.
At night, everyone gathered around the table to eat. Lin Dafu took a few bites, and his eyes suddenly lit up. No wonder his son's master, Wang Dafa, was so confident. He was really a bit sexy.
This made him even happier, thanking Wang Dafa's family again and again, eating food and drinking wine. As the saying goes, everyone will get drunk unless the wine is drunk, and this is the situation now.
After eating and drinking, and chatting for a while, the master, Wang Dafa, and his two apprentices left, and Lin Jiaguo was sent out of the alley.
"In my family and my country, there is no estrangement between you father and son, so I feel relieved. From now on, let's live a good life."
Wang Dafa patted his apprentice on the shoulder and laughed loudly. Lin Jiaguo nodded. After the master and apprentice said a few words, Lin Jiaguo watched the three of them leave.
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw that his father had already gone to bed. He shook his head and smiled. His father Lin Dafu was really drunk today.
The next day, because it was a day off, Lin Jiaguo got up later. When he got up, his father Lin Dafu had already washed himself and was about to go shopping.
"Jiaguo, wash your face first and take your whole family to your father-in-law and mother-in-law's house later."
After saying that, he went out in a hurry. Lin Jiaguo went to wash his face, knowing that his father was preparing to recognize his in-laws, even though it was quite late now.
After tidying up, Lin Jiaguo carried things and Li Xiuzhi, each holding a baby, went to work on the bus.
Arriving at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Dafu, as an in-law, first expressed his thanks. Li Pengsheng and Wu Xiu quickly responded. Seeing that their daughter and son-in-law were in a good mood, the two elders felt more at ease. In this way, Lin Dafu came back.
, the problem should not be big.
Wu Xiu looked at her three grandchildren and her attention was no longer elsewhere. Lin Jiaguo took his brother-in-law Li Hu to the kitchen again. He first prepared two dishes for his father-in-law and father to go with wine before starting to cook other dishes.
Li Pengsheng was chatting with Lin Dafu. When Lin Dafu vaguely mentioned that he had worked in a confidential unit over the years, Li Pengsheng stopped asking. As a retired soldier, he knew what confidentiality meant.
In this way, he was even more happy. With Lin Dafu back, his son-in-law and daughter had someone to rely on, right? There were elders in the family, and their backs were half strengthened.
"In-laws, are you still going back after this?" If Li Pengsheng pointed out something, Lin Dafu shook his head and said with a smile: "I will continue to work in the steel rolling mill from now on, and I will report again tomorrow."
Li Pengsheng nodded slightly and did not continue to ask. In some matters, his awareness of confidentiality was higher than Lin Dafu's.
"When you come back to work, the country will be much more relaxed." Li Pengsheng laughed and said, "Although he is already somewhat famous for his cooking skills, it is difficult for one person to support a family."
Lin Dafu nodded, saying that he was a young man and lived in poverty. His three grandsons were about to run away, and his daughter-in-law was pregnant with them. Isn't it difficult?
But now I'm fine, I can go back to work, and with my own salary, the family will naturally feel a lot more relaxed.
The meal was very enjoyable and relaxing. Wu Xiu was even happier when she learned that her in-law Lin Dafu continued to work in the steel rolling mill.
After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, Lin Jiaguo and his family left. After they left, Wu Xiu said with a smile: "In the future, with Lin Dafu's support, Jiaguo's child will be more relaxed."
Li Pengsheng nodded. Judging from the chat just now, Lin Dafu's salary is not low after he returns to work in the steel rolling mill. After all, his skills were very good before. Now that he comes back, he will naturally be better.
Returning to the courtyard, Lin Dafu first bought cigarettes and then smoked in the courtyard. He thanked the people in the courtyard for taking care of his son Lin Jiaguo and his family.
"Dafu, if you go back to work in the steel rolling mill, you will definitely be an eighth-level worker." In the middle courtyard, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, and the third uncle Yan Bugui were all there, smoking, and the second uncle Liu Haizhong was a little envious.
Voice.
The first uncle Yi Zhonghai also nodded. Lin Dafu's skills were better than him in the past and his rank was higher than him. Although he doesn't know what Lin Dafu has been doing in recent years, he may have returned to the steel rolling mill to continue working, which proves that he has not gone astray.
"We have to report again tomorrow to find out the situation." Lin Dafu said with a smile, looking at the three people thoughtfully.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong has been promoted in rank, but his personality has not changed. The third uncle Yan Bugui is still able to calculate. The only thing that surprises him is that the first uncle Yi Zhonghai is divorced.
He had not sorted out some things in the first few days since he came back, but he had the same temperament as his son Lin Jiaguo, so he could just live his own life in this courtyard.
After chatting for a while, Lin Dafu returned to the front yard. As soon as he left, the second uncle Liu Haizhong said sourly: "Now that Lin Dafu comes back, the life of the Lin family will become more and more prosperous."
The eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai and the third eldest uncle Yan Bugui both nodded. Before Lin Dafu came back, the family was living a good life relying on the Lin family. Now that the elders are supporting them, the family will certainly be better off.
The third uncle Yan Bugui said a few words and returned to the front yard. As soon as he left, the second uncle Liu Haizhong also left. As soon as the two left, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai was smoking a cigarette and thinking a little.
He couldn't handle that guy from Lin Jiaguo, so could Lin Dafu give it a try?
The next day, Lin Jiaguo went to work early. After arriving in the kitchen of the third canteen of the steel rolling mill, he started to get busy.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Dafu came to the steel rolling mill again with his document bag in hand. Looking at the still familiar environment, he took a deep breath and walked over.
After reporting at the Security Section booth, he walked in and went all the way to the factory director's office.
When Factory Director Yang saw Lin Dafu, he immediately recognized him. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Director Yang said: "Your work handover leadership has already issued documents. After you complete the formalities, you will
Keep going to work."
"Thank you, leader." Lin Dafu thanked him aloud. In his experience in the past few years, the leader only said that he went to study, but on his side, anyone who asked had to say that he had indeed gone to study.
The two talked for a while before the factory director's secretary took Lin Dafu to handle the follow-up procedures.
At noon, the steel rolling mill's radio announced Lin Dafu's work.
Lin Jiaguo, the back cook of the Third Canteen, was a little surprised when he listened to the radio. His father would be rated very high. He believed it, but he had already been rated as an engineer, which was a bit awesome.
"Master, are you so awesome?" Xu Dahu blurted out, and Hu Kui's eyes widened. He was rated as an engineer, which meant that his salary was over 100 per month.
"How do I know?" Lin Jiaguo smiled and spread his hands. After hearing the three people's words, the people in the third cafeteria were stunned and asked. After they figured it out, they all congratulated.
In the second cafeteria, when he heard the broadcast, Shazhu was really envious. Thinking of his father He Daqing, he suddenly felt a pain in his balls.
In the cafeteria, Qin Huairu also listened to the radio. After listening to it, she felt that her teeth were sour. Lin Dafu's salary was really tempting.
In the workshop, after listening to the broadcast, the first man Yi Zhonghai felt his heart shake. He did not expect that Lin Dafu was actually rated as an engineer. Yi Zhonghai knew very well how difficult it was to take this step.
When he was feeling incomprehensible, in the forging workshop, the second uncle Liu Haizhong was also feeling very uncomfortable, and he was thinking about whether he was going to have a relationship with Lin Daful.
When people in the factory were talking about Lin Dafu, Lin Dafu had already started working vigorously and resolutely, and the habits of the past few years had been integrated into his bones.
I started to check the situation of the factory in the past few years, and I was prepared to start to use my abilities after a while to find out more about it.
While he was busy, the leaders of the factory came to see him, especially Deputy Director Li. After keeping a low profile for such a period of time, he slowly began to deploy his own "power seizing" plan.
After learning that Lin Dafu was Lin Jiaguo's father, Deputy Director Li was even more moved.
