Brother Lin called and asked Fourth Master to come over.
Specifically why, Brother Lin didn't seem to have the intention to tell Lin Yutong yet. Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows and didn't ask. He hung up the phone and went upstairs to see if Fourth Master had finished his work.
For some reason, Fourth Master suddenly became interested in foreign financial stocks these past few days. I asked someone to find a lot of books, and I didn’t have any free time.
At the end of this research, Lin Yutong could only feel ashamed.
Lin Yutong pushed the door open and suddenly noticed that Fourth Master was wearing a pair of glasses on his nose.
Myopia?
No way. I'm watching closely, so it's impossible for me to be nearsighted.
"What's wrong with the eyes?" Lin Yutong approached and asked.
Fourth Master adjusted his glasses upwards, then raised his head to look at Lin Yutong, "How do you think?"
Lin Yutong took off the glasses from his face, put them in front of his eyes and said in surprise: "Ping mirrors?"
The Fourth Master nodded, "My eyes are fine. What should I bring if I don't bring glasses?"
"If you are going to be a bad guy, you have to buy a pair of sunglasses. Why do you want flat glasses?" Lin Yutong was so disgusted that he wanted to throw them away.
The fourth master stopped him and said, "Don't throw it away. I asked my second brother to bring this back." After saying that, he put it on again, "How about you just say I'm wearing glasses?"
Lin Yutong stood and looked at her from a distance. Not to mention, a pair of glasses changed a person's temperament drastically. She couldn't help but praise: "You look elegant, gentle and graceful."
Fourth Master smiled with satisfaction and adjusted his glasses, "That's good."
Lin Yutong stared, "Are you trying to pretend to be a gentleman?"
Fourth Master coughed dryly, "It looks fresh, let's try the effect. In fact, it's not inconvenient, what do you think?"
Lin Yutong put her hands around his neck, moved her face towards him to kiss him, and then looked at each other with glasses in between.
"Is it in the way?" Lin Yutong touched the tip of Fourth Master's nose with the tip of his nose and asked.
Fourth Master stepped back and said, "Don't make trouble. If someone comes so close to me outside, can you agree?"
That's absolutely not possible. But why do I still feel awkward?
The two of them laughed and went downstairs.
Yinwei only praised her, "It's much better this way. Otherwise, I would look more like a leader than anyone else."
Is this happening?
Lin Yutong turned to look at Fourth Master. Why did he never feel that there was anything inappropriate in this?
The fourth master nodded vaguely and whispered helplessly: "Last time I went out with the director, he shook my hand first..."
That's it. Thinking about it, it's really embarrassing. If it happens once, twice, or too many times, it will always make people feel uncomfortable.
This is such a big deal, you have to put on a make-up before going out.
Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master again, "Now he looks more like a young scholar."
The fourth master was now satisfied.
After seeing off the fourth master, Mei Kangmei was still surprised, "You didn't go back to your parents' home with you?"
"I won't go." Lin Yutong looked at the sky outside, "It's too hot."
It was a car and it didn't have air conditioning. She really didn't want to go through this in the middle of the day.
Fourth Master walked all the way into the factory and went straight to Brother Lin's office.
The fan in the office is blowing loudly.
"Come and cool down." Brother Lin asked Fourth Master to sit down, then stood up and asked his secretary to bring some iced watermelon.
Now the office of the factory committee has bought a refrigerator. Fresh fruits and other things are placed in it to entertain customers.
Fourth Master sat down and ate a bite of watermelon. Then he took out a tissue and wiped it, "The office conditions are much better now."
Brother Lin sat down opposite the Fourth Master and said, "Let's join in." Then he changed the subject and said, "I'm asking you to make a trip this time because the factory has an initial intention to ask you to be our economic consultant...
"
"Consultant?" The Fourth Master was stunned. He immediately understood. Nowadays, there are many professors and scholars working as consultants outside. After all, the salary and benefits provided by them are not generally good. The Fourth Master glanced at Brother Lin and said, "Others don't know, Brother
Do you still know that I am not short of money?"
Is it troublesome because there is no shortage of money?
Brother Lin was really embarrassed for a while.
The fourth master glanced at Brother Lin and said, "Brother has just been the deputy director of the factory for a few days, and he wants to be promoted again?" This official addiction is really big.
Brother Lin chuckled, "This is how it is in officialdom. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I don't think of a way, but others will find a way. Otherwise, you will either be replaced by others, or overtaken by others. Live your life watching other people's faces..."
He shook his head, "I can't get used to it."
It seems like he really wants to take advantage of his own strength.
The Fourth Master didn't even raise his eyebrows. If he really wanted this factory, it would not be a good thing for Brother Lin to be in the factory. If he was just an ordinary employee, if he was really a leader, how would he arrange it in the future?
He leaned back on his chair and said, "Brother wants to be an official, so he should seriously work hard in the agency. In the factory, there are limitations after all in managing people and things like this."
Nowadays, the levels of cadres in the government and enterprises are still the same. Brother Lin is still a deputy division level cadre. At the local level, he is probably deputy county level.
It's not that Brother Lin has never thought about this, "It's just that it's easier said than done?"
"It all depends on people." Fourth Master said this.
This specious promise immediately made Brother Lin's eyes light up. He did not continue the topic. The two chatted for a few words, and the fourth master took his leave.
After arriving home, Fourth Master came out of the shower and said to Lin Yutong: "Let him hang around in the position of deputy director for two years. If the situation in the factory really gets bad, transfer him out, even to the Archives Bureau, or
The Cultural Affairs Bureau is the deputy director. He has also achieved his wish, and we can save our efforts. Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be conflicts with such a giant Buddha in the factory."
"If it weren't for the difficulty in handling the approval procedures for pharmaceutical companies, and the production of new drugs requires the Food and Drug Administration and other departments to re-establish relations, I would rather build a new factory than clean up this mess." Lin Yutong shook his head,
"Besides, looking at my elder brother's official addiction, can the Archives Bureau and the Cultural Bureau satisfy his desires? There is no time for contentment in the human heart."
The fourth master lay down on the bed and turned over, "It's too early to say this now. Over the past few years, he has grown older and has not had so many ambitions. It is good to be in a quiet Yamen, noble and noble.
It won't be a big deal if something goes wrong. It's best to take care of yourself in old age."
Lin Yutong slapped him, this man is the worst.
At the end of August, the old man brought the children back, and they all seemed very happy.
"They are all good candidates to be soldiers." The old man said with satisfaction: "They will all become soldiers in the future. Good men should be soldiers, and good girls should be soldiers too. Our Yusheng is really good."
Lin Yutong chuckled in his heart and did not refute. The child was only so young and it was too early to make decisions about the future.
"Go and wash up." Lin Yutong sent a few children away, and then looked at Jiang Huai, who had grown into a young boy. "It's darker than when we came back from the south. Your parents will definitely feel bad."
Jiang Huai pursed his lips and smiled, "My dad has wanted to ask me to exercise for a long time, but my mom has stopped me every time. This time, my dad must be satisfied."
With that said, I ran upstairs. I could still hear them talking about target practice below.
Yinwei whispered to Lin Yutong: "Xiaoxiao's shoulders are all black and blue."
Lin Yutong was startled, fearing that the recoil of the gun would injure the child. He quickly went to take a look, and the child grimaced in pain, but did not cry.
"It's okay, it's just a flesh wound." Lin Yutong touched Xiaoxiao's head, "I'll make some medicine later and apply it on. It won't hurt anymore. It should be ready in three or two days."
Yinwei said distressedly, "I won't call the child next time."
Yin Kun almost died on the battlefield, so she asked the children to risk their lives again. She couldn't bear it. No wonder Hu Feng didn't agree with Jiang Huai to train with his father. As a mother, there is nothing she can't bear.
After seeing Jiang Huai off and returning to the research institute, the couple sat face to face with the children seriously for the first time.
"What do you want to do when you grow up?" Lin Yutong asked seemingly casually.
People must have ideals and goals.
The three children looked at each other. After a long time, Yusheng said: "Grandpa wants us to join the army. But I don't want to go for the time being. I want to go abroad to see the United States, the Soviet Union, Europe, and even Africa. I want to go."
"
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master looked at each other. It was a bit ridiculous to ask the child what career he planned to choose in the future. Children's knowledge is always limited. But Yusheng said what she wanted to do when she grew up, so it counts.
Fourth Master nodded and looked at Zhensheng.
Zhensheng looked at Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, "I...I don't know...I haven't thought about it yet..."
The fourth master looked at his son's anxious eyes. He was really cautious. He didn't make up his mind and didn't speak. "It doesn't matter. You have plenty of time to think about it slowly."
Ye Sheng glanced at Zhen Sheng, "I've thought about it, but I'm not going to say it." He raised his eyebrows and said, "The ideal you helped me realize is no longer an ideal. I feel boring when I think about it."
Chao Yusheng said disdainfully, "I want to travel around the world and make money by myself."
"Look at how arrogant you are." Yusheng took over the words and pushed Ye Sheng, "I know what you want to do. You want to stay up at night and not wake up in the morning. Eat well, drink well, have fun, and then no one will care about you. Don't you dare
Said, you are afraid that your parents will clean you up."
"Tch!" Ye Sheng jumped up, "The bird is as peaceful as the swan?"
"Oh, you made me laugh so hard. How about a swan?" Yu Sheng said disdainfully, "I think it's a house sparrow at most."
Yes! I can’t say any more.
Although the two of them never wanted to draw a path for their children and ask them to follow the path they planned for them, they did hope to help them. But they didn't expect it would be such a result.
Lying in bed at night, Lin Yutong comforted the fourth master, "The child is still young and not sensible..."
"No! It's not that I'm ignorant..." Fourth Master sighed, "This should be an improvement. Filial piety must be respected, but we cannot force children to give up their original personalities just because of filial piety. This is wrong."
Lin Yutong blinked and looked at the fourth master in the dark for a long time before he laughed and said: "You are so young and frivolous! Do you think that they will be hit by reality and be beaten to death in the future?"
Fourth Master said, "Yeah," "If not, you won't grow up."
