Siheyuan: Since 51

Lin Zhiyuan turned around and saw that it was Uncle Tao and Uncle Li. He quickly stood up and went forward to greet them.

"Uncle Tao, Uncle Li, are you two finally willing to come back?"

Uncle Tao smiled cheerfully, "Shouldn't we take a good look around this beautiful country?"

Uncle Li curled his lips and said unhappily, "I just listened to him bragging to you. However, he did stay in many places. In addition to Sichuan, he also stayed in Chuncheng and Jincheng for more than a year each."

"admire!"

Lin Zhiyuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "At your age, you two are still working hard for the education cause. I am a little ashamed."

Uncle Tao smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. What's the happy event at home?"

Lin Zhiyuan gestured with his hand, "Come, let's go inside and sit down. My second child has just been born."

Uncle Tao's eyebrows twitched, "Oh, this is a great joyous event."

When I walked into the living room, I saw that the house was full of women. Two old men each took a red egg and returned to the yard.

The six people from the Qin family set up a round table and vacated the stone table under the tree.

The three of them took their seats.

After a few words, Mr. Tao said bluntly: "Zhiyuan, prepare a few more of your folding fans for me."

Uncle Li also pulled the corner of his mouth, "By the way, did you do this on purpose?"

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time, thinking about the folding fan, and felt a little confused.

"Uncle Li, what did I do on purpose? I received a letter from Uncle Tao asking me to send two pieces of calligraphy. I mailed the folding fan to him, isn't that right?"

Grandpa Tao reached out and tapped the stone table. "Of course folding fans will work, but the problem is the quantity you have!"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Zhiyuan immediately complained, "You wanted two, and I didn't leave you two out. I wanted to mail four, but four doesn't sound good, so I put in an extra one."

"The bad thing is that you put in one too many."

Uncle Li said depressedly, "Because of that folding fan, the four of us old guys almost had a fight. Tell me, is it your fault?"

Lin Zhiyuan understood, and his mind moved, and he reached out his hand.

"Come on, then you two return me a folding fan."

Uncle Tao glared at him and said, "You wish."

Uncle Li couldn't help but laugh, "You actually want to take back what you gave away?"

Lin Zhiyuan leaned back and curled his lips, "Don't you think it's too much?"

Uncle Tao laughed and scolded, "I'm not kidding you. I'll prepare a few more for you later. This thing is very impressive to give away."

Uncle Li was not to be outdone, "It's really impressive, don't leave me behind."

Lin Zhiyuan's face was full of black lines. You asked me for something, and you are going to give it to someone else later?

Considering that I had some friendship with the two old men and that they were also contributing to the country, I finally agreed.

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

After saying that, he asked with a smile, "Are you two still leaving?"

Uncle Tao waved his hand and said, "I'm not leaving. I have nothing to do now."

Uncle Li added, "We have completely entered retirement mode. We can take a walk, read a book, and enjoy life."

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly thought of Old Man Sun and asked casually.

"There is a philosophy professor at Beijing University, his last name is Sun. Do you two know him?"

Uncle Tao asked suspiciously, "You actually know Sun Juetou."

Uncle Li chuckled and said, "Old man Sun is even more stubborn than your uncle Tao. No matter whether it's a big or small matter, as long as you disagree, he will hold you back and won't let go unless you convince him."

Uncle Tao frowned and retorted, "Old Li, don't talk nonsense. I am much better than Sun Juetou. If I were like him, would you dare to contact me?"

Uncle Li didn't think about it, he nodded and smiled, "That's true."

Well, I originally wanted to introduce them to each other, but now Old Man Sun is well-known, and looking at the situation, it’s not a good idea to mention it anymore.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't say anything else, but Uncle Tao asked, "Zhiyuan, why did you mention him?"

"A friend of mine went to study in Russia and asked me to look after him..."

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want us to have some contact?"

Lin Zhiyuan chuckled, "I won't force it. I think it will be more lively with more people."

Tao and Li looked at each other, and Uncle Tao smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go find Sun Juetou if we have nothing to do."

I didn't want to set up a table, but there were too many people.

Also coming to join in the fun from inside the courtyard were Xu Fugui, He Daqing, and even Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others.

This family added dishes, that family brought wine, and the Qin family and their families also added things.

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't refuse, so at noon, three tables were set up in the small courtyard.

Xu Fugui changed his job from an employee to a worker. At Lin Zhiyuan's reminder, he called his wife back home from the Lou family and became a housewife. He finally felt the taste of home.

I am very grateful to Lin Zhiyuan. All the free talk at noon was provided by Lao Xu.

As for He Daqing, he stayed in the capital since Lin Zhiyuan reminded him.

Not only did he find a wife for Sha Zhu, but he would soon have a grandson to hold in his arms. It's easy to tell how he felt.

The He family and the Xu family are considered to be Lin Zhiyuan's die-hard supporters.

As for Liu Haizhong, Lin Zhiyuan had tried to win him over before, but unfortunately, for some reason, he was always so distant from him, so he stopped forcing him.

The same goes for Yan Bugui, not too close, but not too far either, just an ordinary neighbor!

The next day, Monday.

Lin Zhiyuan sat in his office and began to work on the outline of the new book.

Li Xiao knocked on the door and came in, smiling, "Master Lin, can I have a cigarette?"

Lin Zhiyuan stood up and gestured, "Sit down, there are not only cigarettes, but also tea."

After brewing some tea and smoking a cigarette, the two of them sat down on the sofa.

After chatting for a while, Li Xiao reported: "Master Lin, next week, three technical comrades from Mao Xiong will come to the factory to guide our work."

In an instant, the scene in mid-January when Sha Zhu mentioned the Russians appeared in Lin Zhiyuan's mind.

Since Li Xiao hadn't said anything about it yet and he hadn't received any documents, Lin Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart.

Three months later, when Li Xiao mentioned it, Lin Zhiyuan felt a little dissatisfied.

"Really? I heard about it years ago, but I thought it was just a rumor."

Li Xiao was flicking the ash off his cigarette, and was startled. Then he smiled and said, "Well, it was at that time that the news from the Northeast was uncertain, so I didn't mention it to you."

"Is that so? Next time if you have any news, let me know in advance so I can be prepared."

Lin Zhiyuan kept smiling, nodded slightly, and then changed the subject.

"You don't have to worry about the reception. Just take the technicians and learn carefully. Even if you don't understand, you have to write it down."

After that, he reminded: "Go to Beijing University and find a few translators temporarily. Make sure you hear and understand what the other party says clearly."

Li Xiao took a sip of tea and said confidently: "Master Lin, have you forgotten that I studied abroad in Mao Xiong? With me here, there will be no problem in communication."

Lin Zhiyuan tapped his thigh with his fingertips and spoke after a few seconds.

"Just in case, find a few more. In case you get busy, the technicians down there can communicate with them."

After Li Xiao left, Lin Zhiyuan opened the door and got some fresh air.

He sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and decided to add insurance.

Walk out the door and come to the coordination department office.

"Yin Quan, come to my office."
