In a blink of an eye, the first semester is over, and it’s time for the children to take winter vacation. Lin Yutong is a little absent-minded at home, because Ye Sheng said he would be back in the next two days, but he did not explain in detail what day he would arrive. He could have driven there at home.
I picked him up at the train station, but there was nothing I could do now. It was still snowing so heavily outside, and I didn’t know if I would wear warm enough clothes when walking from the south to the capital.
"You are so old, how can you still be so unreliable in doing things?" Lin Yutong walked around in circles at home, constantly lying on the balcony window and looking down.
But it was already mid-afternoon. Lin Yutong became more and more anxious as he waited.
There was a strong wind blowing outside again. The fourth master was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. He glanced at Lin Yutong and said, "You have to stay at the window. Be careful of the cold."
Lin Yutong took the big scarf, unfolded it, and draped it on his body like a shawl. Then he looked down again. After a while, he saw a shadow in the snow carrying a military bag and dressed in military green.
Moving in the snow, it was just winter, so my clothes were too thin.
"Back." Lin Yutong turned around and shouted to Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master said without raising his head: "It's time to come back." As he said that, he prepared to stand up. He seemed to be putting the newspaper away without looking anxious at all, but in fact he was not slow at all. He reached the balcony in three or two steps.
Go up, look down through the window, and see Ye Sheng's figure slowly walking over.
He stretched out his hand to open the window on the balcony, and Ye Sheng looked up just in time to see his parents lying on the balcony.
Both his parents were wearing gray sweaters, and his mother had a bright red scarf on her body. The bright red scarf made his heart instantly warm.
He smiled, raised his hand and waved, "Mom and Dad! I'm coming up."
Saying that, Saya ran towards the building.
"I'm thinner and taller." Lin Yutong closed the window, and the fourth master had already opened the door for the child.
When Jiang Huai returned to Yangcheng, Zhensheng and Yusheng also came out of the house and went to the kitchen to heat up food. The family was waiting for him.
Ye Sheng opened the door and hugged Lin Yutong, "Mom! I miss you so much."
Lin Yutong's eyes suddenly became moist. His son's arms were strong and strong, and he could already pick her up like this effortlessly. "You know how to coax me with lies, brat, let me down quickly."
Ye Sheng chuckled, put down Lin Yutong and saluted the Fourth Master, "Dad, I'm back."
The fourth master nodded. This kid already looks like a soldier. "Eat first. After dinner, go see your grandpa. He has been talking about you every day for the past two days."
Ye Sheng responded with a smile.
"Your clothes are too thin. Please change them when you go home." Lin Yutong turned around and took Ye Sheng's clothes.
Ye Sheng quickly stopped him, "I also want to ask my grandpa to see what I look like."
Lin Yutong could only get up, go back to the bedroom, and take out the military coat stored in the space, "I'll wear this later."
This thing has nothing like shoulder and collar badges. It was a very popular thing twenty years ago.
Zhensheng and Yusheng asked Yesheng about life in the military academy.
"...In the beginning, I was punished every day." Ye Sheng said with a smile, "I just stood in a military posture and walked forward for most of the semester. It's useless just to practice well on my own. I have to practice well in every class.
.If there is one person who is lagging behind, everyone will be punished. Oh, forget it, after this semester, I have lost my temper."
"Eating is like grabbing food, and you don't care whether it tastes good or not. You have no right to choose... You have to stand like a standing person and sit like a sitting person. No matter how tired you are, you can't just lie down without a command..."
Yusheng clicked his tongue, "I didn't expect you to survive. I was afraid that you would be dropped out of school halfway."
"You're kidding!" Ye Sheng snorted, "How can I be sent back?"
The three people started bickering again. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master just watched with smiles and did not interrupt.
After dinner, the family got up and went back to Yin's house.
"I have only been away from the capital for half a year, and it seems that a lot has changed. There was no building like this before." Ye Sheng pointed to the roadside and asked.
Zhensheng nodded, "That's why I say things are changing with each passing day. After you go to college for a few years, you will be a complete stranger when you come back. Everything will feel new and unfamiliar." Especially for people in the closed environment of the military.
, that’s what the country bumpkin said.
Ye Sheng nodded with deep understanding.
When he arrived at the gate of the compound, the guard saluted, and Ye Sheng habitually sat up straight and returned the salute.
There are also security guards at the old man's door. Ye Sheng was familiar with them before, but now he salutes them first, "Hello, squad leader."
It seems that he has completely integrated into the military environment.
The old man looked at Ye Sheng, who was full of energy, heroic appearance and dressed in military uniform. He laughed happily and asked Lin Yutong to give him the whole appetizer and pour him two ounces of wine. There are still guests at home today, all of them are the old man's subordinates, but
The stars on his shoulders also prove that his rank is quite high. When Ye Sheng saw him, he would call him the chief.
The next day, the family went to Lin's house again, and Lin's father and mother were waiting.
As soon as they entered the door, the image of Mrs. Lin shocked everyone.
"Auntie, why are there two caterpillars hanging in your eyes?" Ye Sheng made an exaggerated statement.
"Go! What kind of caterpillar!" Sister-in-law Lin touched her eyebrows gently, "Doesn't it look good?"
"It's pretty good-looking. It's popular now." Yusheng said against his will.
Lin Yutong couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister-in-law, why do you think of getting eyebrow tattoos?"
Eyebrow tattooing is a beauty technology that has emerged in the past two years. It is used to beautify the eyebrow shape and last for a long time. However, this thing also has disadvantages. The pigments in it are easy to turn blue, fade, and smudge. The direct result is
Sister-in-law Lin has blue eyebrows that look like a caterpillar or a broadsword. They look unnatural, stiff, and a little weird.
Sister-in-law Lin took a few children into the house and said: "Where I am willing to go is the wife of your eldest brother's leader. Fei took me to keep him company. Look, I am getting old, and I am like an old goblin."
It seems that when I just came back from this, my parents thought your eldest brother had punched me twice."
"However, it looks black now, so it's okay." Cheng Ying came out and said, "If it turns blue, you have to wash it quickly."
Sister-in-law Lin said angrily, "We don't understand either. I heard that there is now a new method called eyebrow embroidery, which is better than eyebrow tattooing. Who knows? I spent money one by one to get blue eyebrows and green eyes."
Over there, Father Lin had already pulled Ye Sheng to look at him, "I've lost weight and gotten darker."
"It's strong." Ye Sheng smiled and sat on the sofa. He didn't lean on it, but sat upright, making everyone watching feel tired. This baby has been trained to be in a very mysterious state.
.
For example, when he walks, when he lifts his legs, he walks in unison, and each step is measured. Walking together with him, Zhensheng and Yusheng will be extremely awkward. I told him to be casual, but I found that this kid can't walk casually.
After more than ten years of sloppiness, I couldn't stand up to half a year of training. I said it was over, but it was really over.
Although it's a bit overkill.
Fourth Master and Brother Lin were talking to one side.
"I'm glad I got out of the factory early." Brother Lin sighed, "The new year is here, and the factory can no longer pay 60% of its wages. The leaders of the factory are all in despair.
For more than half a year, I have been negotiating with the management in Hong Kong, but the labor union in the factory will not relent, and no one wants to be laid off. Therefore, we can't reach an agreement on layoffs. In addition, these leaders in the factory,
They all still want to stay in the position of factory leaders, but they are not satisfied with the conditions of the management. Such delays make people panic and have no intention to produce. The efficiency is even worse. This is because the management has a good temper. If it were me, I would change
Let’s talk as a family and see if they are in a hurry.”
When he went back that night, Fourth Master called Mike and asked him to try to contact other pharmaceutical companies and then let the leaders of the pharmaceutical companies know the news.
Anyway, people's mentality is like this, rushing is not a business.
Lin Yutong sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her eyebrows in the mirror, but in her heart she agreed with Fourth Master's approach.
The fourth master turned around and saw Lin Yutong studying his eyebrows and said, "Don't mess around with me. Eyebrow tattooing is not a new technology. Why did it come from the West? Nonsense."
"What's the point of saying this?" Lin Yutong turned around and asked Fourth Master.
"Tattoo punishment, also known as ink punishment, tattoo punishment and tattooing. Once it is printed on the face, it can never be removed. Even words can be printed on the face, let alone an eyebrow. This is one of the five punishments in ancient times. It was practiced in the Spring and Autumn Period.
I can guarantee that it will not fade or deform. Is it possible to have eyebrow tattoos? Did you come from the West? The West is so unreliable. Why should you accept this criminal law if you have nothing to do? It’s idle!” The fourth master’s tone was very disdainful.
Take a look.
Lin Yutong was stunned. Not to mention, she really couldn't find anything to say to refute.
Taking advantage of the winter vacation, Fourth Master drove the car the next day and took Lin Yutong and the children to a community. It was a newly built villa.
There are dozens of villas inside, and the environment is quiet and pleasant.
"What is this?" Lin Yutong followed the fourth master and took the child inside, "Are you planning to buy a house here?"
The Fourth Master nodded, "The three children are now older, and the required sleeping space is also larger. This place is suitable. Even if they all get married in the future, they can live here."
Even if we can only come back occasionally in the future, we still have to make the children feel comfortable. Therefore, buying a bigger house is a must for the fourth master.
"How much does it cost?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Three million or so," Fourth Master said in a low voice.
Buy it! This house will be sold at a sky-high price in another twenty years. It is an extremely cost-effective investment.
