After listening to Lin Yutong's words, the fourth master's lips twitched, obviously not used to a woman's bold pursuit of a man.
"I'll tell Master Yun tomorrow." The fourth master covered Lin Yutong tightly with the quilt, then took the book and continued reading. "You go to bed early. I'm afraid I'll have to get up early tomorrow, and the children all went to bed early today."
Going to bed early means getting up early. When they get up, adults don't want to sleep anymore.
But Lin Yutong slept for half the afternoon today. How could there be so much drowsiness?
She turned over and hugged the Fourth Master's waist, with her face pressed against his back. She was thinking about He Tian. In fact, being alone is quite lonely. Without one person around, she would probably feel cold at night.
Fourth Master told her that she felt uncomfortable, so he turned over and hugged her, "Don't make trouble, just sleep well."
She didn't want to make a fuss. She asked angrily: "Are you asking the children to go to school?"
"It's up to them." Fourth Master turned around, "Don't force your children to learn."
They are not princes or grandsons, they are born with responsibilities. Ordinary people have their own way of life. Whether you are capable or not does not depend on knowing a lot or miscellaneous skills. As long as you are proficient in the same way, you can live a good life.
In the end, it was arranged for the children to finish one hour of foreign language classes every day, and then go to He Tian for forty minutes of music lessons.
It will definitely not work after a long time. Can children like them who have just started to play musical instruments be able to hear the tones they play? This baptism of magical sounds must be ended before everyone takes a break.
Lin Yutong didn't ask what the Fourth Master was talking about with Master Yun.
However, Master Jiang also has a good eye. All issues that require communication between the two offices are left to He Tian.
He Tian is also very funny, each time he does the same thing several times.
Lin Yutong feels that if this continues, no matter how hard Master Yun persists, he will not be able to bear it. Not only are good girls afraid of stalking men, but good men are also afraid of stalking mothers? Isn't there a saying that a woman chases a man with a veil?
She really didn't think Master Yun's willpower was that good.
Lin Yutong took time out in the past two days to help Master Yun decorate the house. His house has the same layout as his own, and later the Fourth Master also took the initiative to remodel it. The room that was converted from the balcony was used as a study in the past, but now it is freed up
Live with my son Yunfan.
Master Yun was also very attentive. He even prepared pots and pans and placed them in the kitchen, as if he was going through life.
On Friday afternoon, Master Yun received a telegram asking him to pick him up at the station at two o'clock the next day.
Fourth Master wanted to accompany him, but Master Yun refused.
"As a father, I have to go by myself." Master Yun insisted.
The fourth master had no choice. It was snowing and it was difficult to drive. Once he got in the car, whether he could arrive on time was still a question.
Finally, I found the logistics office of the military region and got on a truck delivering supplies.
Lin Yutong asked He Tian to chop up the meat fillings and make dumplings together. He was just waiting for the father and son to come back, cook them and send them over.
The fourth master moved the noodles, steamed buns and rice noodles he bought to the kitchen. He also moved a few jars of kimchi and two jars of hot sauce. I wanted to get something to eat in the middle of the night. With these things as a base, I wouldn't be hungry. It had to be like
The look of a home.
"You are really no worse to Master Yun than your own son." He Tian said to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong smiled, "It's a long story."
It wasn't until evening that Master Yun came back with Yunfan's large and small bags. At this time, when people go out, they have to bring bedding, washbasin, and hot water bottles. Therefore, there are many courtesy.
Yun Fan is already twenty-three this year, so he is really quite old. He looks very similar to Master Yun, tall and thin, and a little shy when he smiles.
When he met Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, he called him elder brother and sister-in-law. I think Master Yun told him about the relationship between the two families on the way.
The dinner table was placed in Master Yun's house. On the table was a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of pickled cucumbers, a plate of pork head meat, and a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions. The soup was hot pimple soup.
Lin Yutong asked them to drink wine first and come back to cook the dumplings. Unexpectedly, He Tian had already cooked them.
"Take it over." He Tian took off his apron and went back. "Drinking on an empty stomach hurts your stomach."
Looking at He Tian's back, Lin Yutong suddenly felt that He Tian was also a good woman.
Lin Yutong saved the dumplings for the three children and carried the rest over. Walking from one end to the other, people all over the corridor were asking about Master Yun's son.
Throughout the year, there is not much new news in this building, and any relative who comes over can discuss it for a long time.
"I don't know that either." Lin Yutong shook his head, "I think the conditions in my hometown are not as good as ours."
Avoiding the topic and walking away with the dumplings in hand.
When I walked in, I heard Yun Fan talking: "...We are in a small county over there. I used to work in a vegetable company. Now in this vegetable company, my eldest brother must also know that the farmers have grown their own land and vegetables, and this company has become a free meal.
Yes. If vegetable companies in big cities are okay, in small places like that, when farmers come to the city to sell vegetables, there will be no business. In the past six months, the salary has only been more than ten yuan, and all bonuses have been deducted. There is really no way
I just went to the bathhouse to burn the boiler. This is a technical job after all, just learn from the master."
Lin Yutong understood. The person who controlled the boiler was the master. He was probably the kind of coolie who transported coal and cinders.
Master Yun wiped his face and put down his hand again. His eyes were all red.
"Because of me, you and your mother are in trouble." Master Yun held the cup and took a sip of wine.
Yun Fan smiled and said, "What are you doing? It's okay to be alive. Isn't everything good now?"
Lin Yutong quickly put the dumplings on the table, "Eat it while it's hot, don't drink on an empty stomach." She called Yunfan, "Eat with an open stomach, there's still more. Don't cook if it's not enough."
Yunfan stood up and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Don't be polite, hurry up and eat."
With that said, she withdrew without interrupting their conversation.
Seeing that Yun Fan said he was shy, but not a timid person, nor was he out of place. She felt slightly relieved.
The Fourth Master poured wine for the father and son across from him, "Master, let's look forward."
He changed the subject and told Yunfan about his future plans, "It's not difficult to relocate to a large state-owned enterprise. Do you have any plans?"
Yun Fan glanced at Master Yun, as if he was a little worried, and never spoke.
Master Yun put the pig's head over the meat and said, "Say what you have to say. Your senior brother is not an outsider."
"I don't want to go to a state-owned factory." After Yunfan finished speaking, he lowered his head.
Master Yun's hand paused, "Then do you want to continue to go to college or go to a technical school? It doesn't matter, dad will make arrangements for you."
Yunfan stopped talking.
It must be that Master Yun's words did not reach his heart.
"Say what you have to say. Master is not a stubborn person. He is an intellectual, but he may not force you to be like him." Fourth Master smiled and said, "Your father is an enlightened man."
Yun Fan then took a careful look at Master Yun and remembered his father teaching him to memorize foreign poetry when he was a child. Although he was not stubborn, he definitely had some expectations. His current situation was really far from his ideal son.
.
He bit the bullet and said: "I want to open a small restaurant in the capital. In fact, it's not like I haven't learned anything in these years. I followed Uncle Meng... and learned to cook."
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, Uncle Meng must be Yunfan's stepfather.
It seems that this stepfather is actually very kind to Yunfan.
Master Yun's hands were shaking a little. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. He blew out smoke rings that lingered around him, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
Fourth Master knew that Master Yun must be feeling uncomfortable at the moment.
Just looking at the skills that Master Yun has taught him over the years, he knows what kind of person he wants his son to grow up to be. But now, his son is sitting in front of him, but he is told that he wants to be a self-employed person and a cook.
This was like a giant hammer, hitting Master Yun's heart.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that his son grew up like this because of his stepfather's influence.
There was a man who took his father's place and turned a son who was supposed to be a mechanical engineer into a cook instead.
How embarrassing it is for him.
"Keep talking, Dad, listen." Master Yun's tone seemed to be very relaxed and casual, but Fourth Master felt bad for Master Yun. He was pretending to be relaxed because he was afraid that Yun Fan had something in mind.
A smile appeared on Yunfan's face, "Actually, thanks to Uncle Meng over the years, he was definitely not as good to me as his own children, but he didn't treat me badly either. He also gave me his skills. Although, in the end, he didn't treat me badly.
I can take over his shift and work in the agency cafeteria. But I understand."
"I came up with this idea when I was in the county town. The two newly opened cooking restaurants on the street could earn ten or eight yuan a day. In one month, it was much higher than the salary. This is just the county town. If we put it aside
In the capital, you can't earn more."
"Dad, don't be offended by what I said. I don't care what happened between you and my mother, and I can't say whether you are right or wrong. But, as a son, I came out and stayed with my father.
.As for my mother, I have to be filial as well. I even thought about taking my mother to take care of me in the future..."
Yun Fan said with red eyes. He took a sip of wine from the wine glass, then choked and coughed, tears streaming down his face, "The wine is too strong."
I don’t know if it was because the wine was really too strong, or if I was talking about something sad.
"Over there, Uncle Meng's children are kind to my mother, but they are limited. It's hard to be a stepmother. She has suffered a lot of grievances because of me. I have to be filial to her and receive good filial piety from those around me."
"It's Uncle Meng, and I can't act against my conscience. I have to support him until he is old. He raised me when I was young, and I will support him when he is old."
"My burden is heavier than others. The three elderly people above me have to provide for themselves, and the salary is really not enough. If I add a wife and children, it will be even more stretched."
"I know my father's salary is high and he can supplement me. But this is not a long-term solution."
"I'm not going out with dad. If I were, I wouldn't come. I want to open a restaurant, but don't I have no capital? I can't ask for others, but with you, dad, wouldn't I say something?"
Master Yun suddenly stood up, then turned around and faced the wall. Fourth Master could hear Master Yun's suppressed choking sounds... (. )
