Chapter 217: Tan wants to make a secret move, Director Lin is not allowed to interfere
On the other side, the Lou family also received a certificate of commendation and the title of patriotic businessman from the organization today.
In order to encourage big businessmen to support the front line, the organization made a big show. They beat gongs and drums at the door of Lou's house for a whole morning to promote...
There is nothing that can be done about it. The new society has just been established and its foundation is too thin... It is impossible to confiscate the property of all businessmen who have not harmed the working people.
That would be even more detrimental to the unity of workers, peasants and businessmen. Now we can only encourage them to win over us... Let's first defeat American imperialism.
At the dinner table
Mrs. Tan cooked two dishes. The couple was in a good mood, so they drank two cups of wine.
"Okay, okay. I donated the steel mill but didn't give such a high reward. I only gave Lin Chen a few hundred small yellow croakers in exchange for such recognition... Lin Chen is really a lucky boy for the Lou family. With what we did today, I think our Lou family will be able to rest assured for the next ten or eight years."
Tan was also happy: "It's right to listen to Lin Chen in the future. As long as we keep a low profile, we will never be like the Hu and Liao families who had their property confiscated and were imprisoned. Besides, supporting the war on the front line is not the same as donating to a steel mill..."
What Tan said is true. The donation of the steel mill was more or less coerced and was made out of helplessness.
The current situation is dominated by the working people, it is impossible for you to have such a large industry...
Supporting the frontline is purely voluntary, so this is a great opportunity to show goodwill. Ordinary people don't have the connections to make great contributions...
Tan continued with a smile: "These past few days, Xiao'e has been playing with Qin Huairu in the courtyard. I think Qin Huairu treats Xiao'e very well... Old Lou, do you think Lin Chen has any hidden thoughts about Xiao'e?"
Lou Zhenhua frowned after hearing this: "This... this is impossible! Xiao'e is still a child, the brat shouldn't have such bad intentions, right?"
Tan rolled her eyes at him and said, "How dare you say that I'm bad? Don't you know how you got me into bed? Lin Chen is only 7 years older than Xiao'e. How many years older are you than me? I... have you forgotten how old I was when I first met him?"
When Tan said that, Lou Zhenhua chuckled. That man is not a playboy...
A few days ago, the deaf old lady in prison wanted to see Lou Zhenhua because she wanted to be buried next to the old man of the Lou family after she died...
Lou Zhenhua thought of his mother's last wish and shook his head to refuse. He was not even his father's concubine. How could he enter the Lou family's ancestral tomb...
Lou Zhenhua smiled and patted his wife's hands: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! As long as you are willing to give up your daughter, don't mention it now since Xiao'e is still young. Can't we just ask Lin Chen in two years?"
Tan nodded with satisfaction. She was very optimistic about Lin Chen. Although polygamy was not allowed now, there were many cases of concubinage.
Others may not know, but Lou Zhenhua and his wife do. Many of their friends' concubines were secretly kept in small courtyards outside after being sent out of the house. They divorced and kicked out the family in name, but in reality, they were still kept as a concubine...
……
A few days later
New Year's Eve
After Lin Chen posted the couplets on his home, he came to the central courtyard and chatted with the residents.
Every household is very happy this year. If they were not afraid of the bad influence...Yi Zhonghai would have planned to set off some firecrackers.
Seeing that Lin Chen had no intention of returning to Qinjiazhuang, He Daqing wanted to invite him to sit down.
"Brother Lin, come sit at my house for lunch! I'll cook a few dishes... and we'll have a drink?"
"No, I'll just chat with you for a while and then leave... My father-in-law is waiting for me! I can't become a cadre and then be separated from the masses..."
Yan Bugui, who was selling couplets, gave Lin Chen a thumbs up.
"Yes, yes, Brother Lin said it well. A good cadre is one who can integrate with the working people..."
Lin Chen looked at Yan Bugui and said with a smile: "Third brother is really well-educated. He must have sold a lot of couplets today!"
Xu Wude, who was standing by, watched the others laughing, but he didn't compliment Lin Chen much...
After all, the grudges were written off, and Lin Chen took away his most powerful trump card. Now the Xu family couple gritted their teeth in anger. But it was worth it to get their son a good health...
However, they recently heard that the Lou family was rewarded, and the couple almost fainted with anger.
Now the Xu family secretly forbids Xu Lingling from playing with Xiao Jingru, but they can’t stop the little girl from sneaking over… Qin Huairu even keeps giving them candies and snacks to coax them…
Even He Daqing and Bai were puzzled by the changes in the Xu family in the past two months. The Xu family's attitude towards the Lin family suddenly became cold during this period.
When Lin Chen became the director, everyone in the hospital went to congratulate him, but Xu Wude and his wife did not make any move. Because of this, Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing deliberately made a fuss, but Lin Chen did not fall for the instigation of the two guys.
Lin Chen thought that he didn't need anyone else to tell him what to do, and he didn't know why the Xu family was like this!
……
On the night of New Year’s Eve, in the courtyard of Xia Family Hutong.
After a few people had enough wine and food
"Brother Lin Chen, can you give us a day off tonight? Let's stay up together to welcome the New Year... Lan Zi, don't go to the side room, the big bed will accommodate you anyway."
Liu Lan paused as she was cleaning the table. This was her first time to spend the New Year away from her parents. It would be best if she could stay up with her sisters to welcome the New Year. After all, there was only one brother Lin Chen...
"No problem. I'm not a sex-hungry ghost. I will welcome the New Year with everyone."
Little Jingru immediately raised her hand: "Me too! I will also stay up with everyone..."
Liang Ladi nodded at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I won't leave you alone in the wing room..."
……
In this way, Lin Chen stayed with them until midnight.
Just after twelve o'clock, Qin Huairu dozed off.
"I can't take it anymore. I need to sleep... I can't outlast you."
"Sleep, sleep, we can't do it anymore!"
Wen Li pulled Xu Huizhen into the same bed with her, they couldn't bear it any longer.
In the end, only Bai Ling and Lin Chen were left smiling at each other.
Lin Chen reached out and took her into his arms, and the two stopped talking.
After a few days of contact, Bai Ling now knows that Lou Xiao'e is also a backup force...
The heater in front of the window was burning brightly, and a few people were already calling out faintly...
"Accompany me to visit Chief Wu tomorrow night. I'm going to fulfill my promise to cure my old illness in half a year."
Bai Ling half-lay on her man's chest and nodded.
At the beginning, Lin Chen didn't cure it all at once because he didn't want them to feel it was too miraculous. Now that half a year has passed, it's time to cure it.
