By the time summer came, Fourth Master seemed to be getting a little anxious.
Lin Yutong was a little unclear about his thoughts for a moment. Did something happen that he didn't know about?
After the children were all asleep, Lin Yutong closed the door and asked Fourth Master.
She was afraid that it would involve the past, so she asked the children to listen.
In the past two days, she also checked the days with special significance in her previous life, and there was nothing that could affect people's mood.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong stroked Fourth Master's back, "You have something on your mind that you can't tell me?"
The Fourth Master sat up and said, "It actually has nothing to do with the family affairs. If you don't take your position or seek political advice, what can happen?" He said this, but in the end he sighed, "There is one thing I didn't think about.
I’d like to do it or not.”
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master, what could happen to this man?
The fourth master raised his head and whispered: "Wu Chunlai called me again today, and he still contacted me about chemical daily necessities."
Wu Chunlai was the son of Party Secretary Wu and the apprentice of Fourth Master. In the past few years in the Northeast, because he was close to Lao Maozi, he somehow started doing business with Lao Maozi. Using daily necessities, he could get a lot of money back
of rubles.
But for daily necessities, if you want to get them at a low price, many of them are looking for products that are overstocked in the country and cannot be sold. He has no way, so he asks Fourth Master for help. Lin Yutong also helped him contact a clothing factory last year, and sold the factory to
Unsaleable canvas work clothes were shipped to him. Later, I heard that those baggy clothes that no one wanted sold very well in the Soviet Union.
Lin Yutong vaguely understood what Fourth Master meant, "You want to go..."
Fourth Master nodded, "Judging from the news I got from Wu Chunlai, I'm afraid that... the domestic economy is in dire straits, and political corruption, how far can it go? Brand new machinery, break it into parts and sell it to Wu as scrap.
Spring is coming..." He said, turning to look at Lin Yutong, "We are indeed not as good as others in some aspects. Although we have independently developed some things, it is not easy to catch up or even surpass us. Just the investment and investment
Time...I want to see if there is any chance to recruit talents, or..."
Or bribe relevant personnel to get their drawings.
Lin Yutong's heart was pounding. The fourth master's idea was actually not impossible.
I heard that during that period, many SULIAN scientists could not afford to eat. Many of them were living on the streets.
Even if only one of these people is poached, it will not be considered a wasted trip.
But this is not without problems. Fourth Master wants to go, but under what name? Is it public or private?
There has always been Big Brother over there. Who dares to say that this behemoth has disintegrated?
When I say this, I have to bear political responsibility.
Seeing Lin Yutong's nervousness, Fourth Master smiled and said: "This is just my guess. Before I go, I can't say anything for sure. If there is a chance, seize it. If there is no chance, just think of it as going abroad.
It’s no big deal.”
"Don't you plan to take me there?" Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master, "If I go, some things will be simple and good."
If you want to hide something, there is no place safer than here.
The Fourth Master laughed, "What a silly thing to say! If I were to do something that would arouse people's suspicions, I wouldn't do it in the first place."
Lin Yutong pursed her lips, wanting to object, but couldn't say a word.
He is still the fourth master, and he still has things he wants to work hard to accomplish. He cannot be restrained because of himself.
"Just do whatever you want." Lin Yutong said with a smile, "I'll wait for you at home. I'll pick up and drop off the kids, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Fourth Master hugged Lin Yutong and shook his head, "It only takes a few months, and I will be back in a blink of an eye. Now we have to see how we can go smoothly and under what name."
After that day, the fourth master became busy. First, he invited Master Yun to talk for a few nights in the study with the door closed. After that, he returned to Yin's house, solemnly called the old man back, and closed the door.
Speak for a whole day.
The old man went into Zhongnanhai that night to visit an old leader.
This matter was postponed until the children went on summer vacation before any clues were made.
I don’t know which aspect played a role, but a research institute there extended an invitation to the institute, inviting experts and scholars to attend the meeting and visit the museum of their achievements.
The fourth master’s name is clearly on the list.
Also traveling with Fourth Master was Yin Chen, who had rushed back from Yangcheng. However, the photo on the ID was of Yin Chen, but the name was that of Yin Kun.
Lin Yutong was a little relieved. When she sent the fourth master off to the plane, she gave many instructions, "We must leave before December. Do it sooner rather than later."
Fourth Master hugged Lin Yutong and said, "The phone is very convenient now. I'll call home when I have the chance. Don't worry!"
Regardless of whether Lin Yutong felt at ease or not, the plane had already taken off.
When the Fourth Master left, Lin Yutong's heart suddenly felt empty.
Yusheng picked up the rice in the bowl and said, "Mom forgot to add salt when cooking today. Didn't dad go abroad? He took mom's soul away."
Lin Yutong was flustered for two days, waiting for the fourth master's call, and said with a smile, "The girl here is so beautiful."
She immediately resurrected with full health, and I am also very beautiful. This is what she told Fourth Master.
Fourth Master laughed on the phone, and then said cryptically: "Don't worry, money can make all the difference. Here, if there is a way for some people to buy some property in the United States, Hong Kong, or Europe, they will always
Can give us something."
Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. Things that can be solved with money are no big deal.
If Yin Chen follows, the resources that can be mobilized are probably from the official. This request is really nothing.
She also knew that Fourth Master only said it was nice, just to reassure her. In fact, if it was really that easy to handle, anyone could do it. How could such a semi-official academic exchange be used as a cover?
The two could talk on the phone once a week, and Lin Yutong felt relieved for the time being.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that all three children could already cook simple meals.
Today's meal is very simple.
The rice cooker steamed rice. There was a plate of cold cucumbers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of fried shredded pork with green peppers, a plate of minced meat and beans, and a plate of loofah soup.
It was all made with the cooperation of three children.
"I'll do it from now on." Lin Yutong calmed down, "Don't your school organize a summer camp? Go ahead and have fun with your classmates and teachers."
"I'm going to Beidaihe. It's boring. I won't go." Yusheng shook his head, "I went there with my grandfather before. I'm going with my classmates. The accommodation conditions can't be compared with a nursing home. I don't want to go."
"When we have the opportunity in the future, our family will go on a trip." Zhensheng picked up vegetables for Lin Yutong, "Try this cucumber, I mixed it."
Lin Yutong nodded, "It tastes good, but don't cut it so thin in the future. Use the back of the knife to pat the cucumber until it cracks, and then cut it into a few random cuts, and that's it."
Ye Sheng nodded, "Look, I'll tell you." You have to show off your knife skills.
"I'll make coir raincoats and cucumbers for you tomorrow." Lin Yutong cheered up, he still had to get through the day.
If you are in a bad mood, your children will be careful at home. They don’t dare to watch TV loudly because they are born at night, and they don’t dare to play the guitar at home.
He would run outside at night and sing that he was a wolf from the north.
Lin Yutong didn't dare to show anxiety, but as the days went by, he couldn't help but be anxious.
This wait, until the first snowfall of the year. Summer passes and winter solstice finally brings people back.
The Fourth Master has lost weight and his eye sockets have become dark.
"They are all hungry and want to eat the rice you cooked." Fourth Master took Lin Yutong's hand and said, "It's noodles, mixed with two spoons of hot sauce, I can probably eat two kilograms."
Lin Yutong couldn't help but want to cry, but he couldn't stop laughing after what he said.
When I came back, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Lin Yutong cut the noodles that were frozen in the refrigerator, drank a pound of them, stir-fried the meat dumplings, and brought a plate of kimchi.
Fourth Master not only finished the noodles, but also drank all the noodle soup in the pot.
By the time we got there, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The couple separated for half a year, and when they were done, they heard the sound of the children getting up.
Lin Yutong quickly sprayed the air freshener in the room and threw the pajamas over to the fourth master. He was afraid that the children would suddenly come in and it would be embarrassing.
Fourth Master smiled while getting dressed.
When the three children saw that the fourth master was back, they all clung to him and refused to move.
"Your dad hasn't rested since he came back. You should go and do whatever you want." Lin Yutong pointed to the clock on the wall, "It will be too late if you don't go."
Fourth Master went into the house to change clothes, "I'll send them there. It's snowing and it's hard to wait for the bus."
Lin Yutong stopped the fourth master, "I'm tired, how can I drive? It's not safe. They are not stupid. There are rentals at the door, which is very convenient."
The fourth master had no choice but to touch Yusheng's head and pat his two sons' shoulders, "Let's go then. Dad will pick you up after school. Let's go out to eat pots in the evening."
The three children cheered, and Yusheng kissed the fourth master on the face, "Long live daddy!"
Lin Yutong was embarrassed and automatically heard the voices of Honghui and others, "Long live the Emperor!"
After the children went out, Lin Yutong called the office and asked for leave.
Today I am staying at home with Fourth Master and not going anywhere.
The two closed the curtains, and the fourth master lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and then talked about what happened in SULIAN.
"...You have to queue up to buy anything, and you may not be able to buy anything if you queue up. Once you can't buy it, eating becomes a problem..." Fourth Master shook his head, "I can't hold on any longer."
"Did you bring anything valuable back this time?" Lin Yutong asked quickly.
"It's all in the hands of elder brother." Fourth Master shook his head, "The rest is not something we should know."
Lin Yutong didn't bother to ask anymore. The fourth master came back safely, which was enough.
