Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the workshop. The long talk consumed a lot of his brain cells.
Lin Fan didn't think too much. Since it's you, Qin Huairu, who came to find me, I will use my skills.
He knew that Qin Huairu liked He Yuzhu. With He Yuzhu's silent support in the past few years, Qin Huairu slowly fell in love with the silly He Yuzhu.
No matter how many tricks she uses, coupled with her character as an orphan and a widowed mother, people around her will feel pity for her.
It's just that Qin Huairu has indeed made selfless contributions to this family, and others have noticed it, so it doesn't matter if she suffers a little and helps out.
Although in his heart He Yuzhu's greater role is to support their family, this feeling still exists and cannot be ignored.
But Lin Fan knew that Qin Huairu was a bottomless hole. Once he got contaminated, it would be difficult to get rid of it.
So after Qin Huairu came to find him, he should directly arrange for her and Shazhu to get along first.
After the two officially got married, the family had two working people and a man. The family no longer had an orphan and a widowed mother, so there was no need for others to support her.
Directly solve the root cause of Qin Huairu's pity, so that the following incidents will not happen again.
This matter has been put behind her mind for the time being, and Qin Huairu will not target herself anymore.
"Master, you are back." Chen Tao immediately gathered around Lin Fan when he saw him, and the tea was already brewed in the enamel vat.
Lin Fan took the enamel jar and took a big sip. He was indeed thirsty.
After returning the enamel jar to Chen Tao, Lin Fan was ready to rest for a while before starting his afternoon work.
Chen Tao said softly: "Master, Master Yi from the third workshop came to see you just now. He said he had something to discuss with you and asked you to find him when you come back."
"Master Yi?" Lin Fan was stunned, and then immediately understood that it was Yi Zhonghai who came to see him.
Why is Yi Zhonghai looking for him?
Could it be that he saw himself talking to Qin Huairu?
Not sure why, Lin Fan got up and went to the third workshop.
After meeting Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai said straight to the point: "Xiaofan, how are you going to spend New Year's Eve?"
"New Year's Eve? How else can we celebrate it?"
Lin Fan: "It's the same as before. I buy some meat, make some dumplings, and then sleep until the first day of the Lunar New Year. Isn't it like this every year?"
The original owner had been spending the Spring Festival alone since his parents passed away. When Yi Zhonghai invited him, he didn't want to disturb others.
The death of his parents was a huge blow to the original owner. He had not recovered from it in the past few years, so he had never agreed to an invitation to celebrate the New Year with others.
This year, Yi Zhonghai also saw that Lin Fan had changed. He was no longer so withdrawn, and his level as a fitter had also risen. He didn't want Lin Fan to spend the New Year alone.
Didn't I just talk to Qin Huairu and Shazhu this morning, so I didn't come here to ask Lin Fan.
If Lin Fan didn't agree, Yi Zhonghai would use his earnest words to persuade him.
"You see, you are over thirty alone every year. It has been so many years since your parents passed away, and it is time for you to recover. Moreover, this year is a great year for you, as your salary has increased so much."
Yi Zhonghai first said that Lin Fan was lonely during the New Year alone, and then went on to say: "It is too lonely to celebrate the New Year alone. This is what I think. During the New Year this year, Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu, the deaf old lady, plus you and me, there will be a total of five
Let’s celebrate the New Year together at Qin Huairu’s house, which is a lot of fun.”
"It will be fun when there are more people together. I have also discussed it with Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu and I will each spend some money to buy some meat and eat dumplings together. What do you think?"
Celebrate New Year together?
Lin Fan really didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would actually come over and invite himself, Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu and the others to celebrate the New Year together.
This caught Lin Fan off guard.
In his previous life, Lin Fan had been celebrating the New Year alone for a while. He was indeed very lonely. He was very envious when he saw other people's families getting together, eating meat and drinking wine.
He understood what Yi Zhonghai meant. The reason for having New Year's Eve dinner at Qin Huairu's house was to leave the leftovers and the like to Qin Huairu's house.
Yi Zhonghai really put a lot of effort into providing for his retirement.
After thinking about it for a while, the five families celebrated the New Year together, and the number of people was not large. There were eleven people in total. It was really lively, and there was no need to cook by yourself.
As for the leftovers, Lin Fan didn't care. There was no harm in giving these to Qin Huairu's family.
It can be regarded as my support for Qin Huairu.
"Okay, no problem. It's really fun to celebrate the New Year together. I agree. Then the five families will have New Year's Eve dinner at Qin Huairu's house to celebrate the New Year."
Lin Fan said.
Seeing that Lin Fan agreed, Yi Zhonghai showed a happy smile and said: "Okay, then I will tell them when I get back. I will pay five yuan to buy meat, and I will definitely make this New Year's Eve a complete one."
"five yuan?"
Lin Fan was a little surprised by Yi Zhonghai's generosity. Two yuan of meat was basically enough to feed a dozen people.
I'm willing to spend a lot of money.
"Okay, let's put it this way. I will also contribute one yuan when the time comes. There are still a lot of pigs in my house. Let Shazhu help me then. I will have a good meal during the Chinese New Year."
Yi Zhonghai patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, feeling extremely pleased with Lin Fan's actions.
"You don't have to pay. My five dollars is enough. Keep your money to marry a wife and save more. Then I'll ask your aunt and the street director to help you talk about marriage next year."
Try to get your daughter-in-law back and give the Lin family a few more people."
"Then I'll get over it first here."
Then the two said a few words and separated.
After bidding farewell to Yi Zhonghai, Lin Fan returned to his workshop. Let's celebrate the New Year together. He doesn't have to drink and eat New Year's Eve dinner alone in an empty room.
When the time comes, all you have to do is prepare the things, and you don’t have to do all the work yourself, which is good.
Although a little sudden.
After returning to the workshop, Lin Fan began to work on what he was doing, as well as the drawings given by Yi Zhonghai.
Letting Chen Tao watch his operations from the side, Lin Fan started to take action.
Scoring, sawing, scraping, grinding.
Step by step, methodically, slowly and steadily.
In Lin Fan's sight, only the tools and materials in front of him were left.
Chen Tao watched Lin Fan's operation with his eyes widened, not daring to miss a single step.
Looking at the movements his master picked up at random, Chen Tao wrote and drew in his notebook from time to time, trying to write down some of the essentials of the movements.
Lin Fan had almost no leisure time this afternoon except going to the toilet and drinking water, all in order to make the parts as soon as possible.
Sometimes I can’t even stop being excited.
Seeing that the parts had taken preliminary shape, Lin Fan stopped what he was doing when he was about to get off work.
I looked at the parts in my hand with great satisfaction, and I could finish it in just one more day of work.
"It seems that my skills have improved again. Although I haven't reached level six, I guess it will be soon."
Lin Fan noticed the meticulous Chen Tao out of the corner of his eye and nodded silently. This apprentice has been so focused all afternoon and is a good apprentice.
"Okay, Chen Tao, pack up and get ready to go back. That's all for today. I see that you have compiled a lot of notes. Go back and take a good look at it. If there is anything you don't understand, write it down. Then come and ask me."
Lin Fan put the things into his bag and said to Chen Tao.
"I understand, Master."
After a while, the end-of-get off work bell rang, and workers began to come out of the workshop and return together.
