Chapter 358 Father-in-law Shows Off
Chapter 358 Father-in-law Shows Off
"My parents both work at the woolen mill. My dad is the head of the warehouse management department, at the deputy division level, and my mom is the deputy head of the publicity department, at the section level."
"Then your two sisters are also working?" Luo Guifen asked.
"Yes, my eldest sister works in the district bureau and is a cadre. She is currently at administrative level 21. My second sister works in the woolen mill and is also a cadre. She is currently at administrative level 24."
"What are you doing?" Lin Gucheng suddenly asked.
"I also work in the woolen mill. I am currently the deputy section chief of the third purchasing department and also the deputy director of the logistics department."
"What, you are the deputy director of the Logistics Department? How old are you?" Lin Gucheng looked unconvinced.
"Father-in-law, this is my work ID, you can take a look at it." Li Jiayi handed over the work ID and said.
Lin Gucheng took the certificate, flipped it open and took a look. When he saw the word "director level" in brackets, he was even more surprised.
He doesn't think it's fake because there's an official seal on it and it can't be faked.
"You, you are a director-level official?"
"Yes, level thirteen."
"hiss!"
Although Lin Gucheng had donated his business a long time ago and basically stayed out of worldly affairs, he also knew what a 13th-level deputy director meant.
"Hahaha, Ling'er is such a lucky girl." Lin Gucheng said with a big laugh.
"Father-in-law, you should eat first!"
"Okay, I'll eat."
"Oh, I found Director Wu, but he can't do anything about it right now. But don't worry, I will think of other ways to at least make your life here better."
"That plus one! Is it okay for me to call you that?" Lin Gucheng asked.
"Father-in-law, no, Dad, of course you can call me that."
"Jia Yi! If something cannot be done, then don't do it. We know the situation of your mother and I. You are right. Director Wu can't do anything because we are not under his jurisdiction."
The Red Star Coal Mine has more than just a mine manager and a deputy mine manager. You have to know that this is a special coal mine!
There is a department specifically responsible for managing people like Lin Gucheng who were sent here, and these people are not under the jurisdiction of the mine.
But no matter what, Director Wu is still the mine director. Although people like Lin Gucheng are not under the mine's jurisdiction, they can still be taken care of to some extent.
For example, right now, Lin Gucheng and his wife have been called out by Mine Director Wu.
"Dad, don't worry! As long as it doesn't violate the principles, Director Wu can still help."
"Okay, that's up to you."
"By the way, Dad, do you and Mom live in the mine or outside?"
"People like us can't live outside. Those who live outside are workers. We live in the mine."
"Okay! So do you and mom live together or separately? What's the place like?"
"That's fine. Your mom and I live in a small room. It's basically like this. We only live in a room with others if we're alone."
"That is, two people to a room."
"Yes."
"Then there are no restrictions, right?" Li Jiayi asked.
"No, as long as we don't leave the door, of course, we can't leave the door."
"alright, I got it."
My father-in-law and mother-in-law ate very quickly. I guess they knew they didn’t have much time!
After dinner, my father-in-law Lin Gucheng said, "Okay, go back! It's almost time for us to go to work."
"Yes! By the way, take this schoolbag back with you. There are two bottles of wine and some peanuts in it."
"Okay." Lin Gucheng was not polite. To be honest, he really needed these now. It was mainly too cold here. If he could have a few sips before going to bed at night, he would feel much better.
After his father-in-law and mother-in-law left, Li Jiayi came to the office of Mine Director Wu again.
"You've met people now. If there's nothing else, you'd better leave!" Mine Manager Wu said to Li Jiayi as soon as he came in.
"Director Wu, I want to ask you for a favor."
"No, I've done the best I can. I can't help you with anything else." Mine Manager Wu quickly shook his head.
"Director Wu, please listen to what I have to say, and then tell me if you can help me."
"Okay, you say."
To be honest, if Li Jiayi was not at the same level as him, so young, and came from the imperial capital, he would not help at all.
"It's like this. I want you to help take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Of course, I'm not asking you to help for nothing. I will provide all the supplies and even give you an extra one."
My father-in-law and mother-in-law came here to work, so the accommodation is definitely not good, not to mention the food.
Now that Li Jiayi is here, how could he let his father-in-law and mother-in-law live their previous life?
"Do you want me to secretly bring some food to your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" asked Director Wu with a frown.
"Yes, not only food, but also drinks and daily necessities. Don't worry, I will provide all the supplies."
"If you just want to send some food and daily necessities, it's not a problem." Mine Manager Wu nodded.
In fact, when you come here, you can't meet people from outside, not even family members.
There are no other restrictions, which is why Mine Director Wu agreed.
"Okay then, I'll come again tomorrow and deliver the supplies then."
"Ok!"
After chatting with Mine Manager Wu for a while, Li Jiayi left.
We arrived outside the gate and drove away in a jeep.
He couldn't stay here for too long, or those people would see something bad.
Li Jiayi drove the jeep not too far away. He found a deserted place, parked the jeep, and then entered a forest.
Then I entered the space and started preparing things.
The first thing, of course, was the quilts, which Li Jia had already prepared before he arrived. There were two quilts and a mattress in total.
There are also bed sheets and quilt covers.
In addition to these, there is also bacon. It’s not that fresh meat cannot be prepared, but how long can fresh meat be eaten!
Therefore, bacon is better. It is fine to eat it for half a year or several months. If you prepare more, you can even eat it for a year.
In addition to bacon, of course there is also food!
In addition, my father-in-law likes to drink, so this must also be prepared. The most important thing is that his wine is good for your health.
There are also raw peanuts, which can be stored for a long time and can be eaten or fried at any time.
After preparing everything, Li Jiayi glanced at the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, so he sat in the main room and drank tea.
After work and dinner that evening, my father-in-law and mother-in-law returned to their residence, a small house of only twelve or thirteen square meters.
"Madam, please go call Lao Qin and Lao Du over, and let's have a couple of drinks." Lin Gucheng said.
The mother-in-law rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you are just pretending to drink, but you are really showing off."
Although she said this, my mother-in-law still went out to call for help.
After his mother-in-law went out, his father-in-law Lin Gucheng took out the schoolbag that Li Jiayi gave him from under the bed.
He took out a bottle of Moutai and a bag of peanuts from his schoolbag.
There were several bags of peanuts, each weighing about half a pound, but he only took out one bag.
"Lao Lin, what's going on?" a middle-aged man asked after coming in.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw the wine and peanuts on the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Where did it come from?"
"My son-in-law gave it to me."
"Your son-in-law? Isn't your son-in-law also..."
"Oh! It's not the eldest son-in-law, it's the younger son-in-law." "Younger son-in-law? Are you saying that Ling'er is married?"
"That's right!"
"Lao Lin." Another voice came from outside the door.
Soon another middle-aged man came in.
"Is Lao Qin here too?"
"I say, Lao Du, what do you mean? You can come but I can't?" asked the middle-aged man called Lao Qin.
"Yes, yes, yes. When did I ever say no?"
"Okay, you two, stop fighting as soon as you see each other. Come over here and sit down and have a drink."
"Wine!" When Lao Du heard the word "wine", his saliva started to flow.
Since coming to this place, he has never drunk alcohol again, and he hasn't even smelled it.
"Where did it come from?"
"My son-in-law gave it to me."
"Your son-in-law? Your son-in-law..."
"Oh! It's Lao Lin's son-in-law."
"Come on, madam, sit down and have a drink to warm yourself up." Lin Gucheng said to Luo Guifen who had just come in.
Lao Du: "Lao Lin, when did your Ling'er get married? How come I didn't know?"
Lin Gucheng: "I just found out today that we got married after we came here."
Lao Qin: "So that's how it is! But your son-in-law is quite capable! He was able to find this place."
Lao Du nodded and said, "Indeed, you know, we were all sent here in secret. We didn't even know about it before we came here."
In fact, whether it is Lao Qin or Lao Du, like Lin Gucheng, they were all famous businessmen in the past.
"That is, if you are not powerful, how can you become my son-in-law, Lin Gucheng?"
"Come on! You don't even know what we are like now. We are worse than an ordinary person!"
Lin Gucheng: "Uh! Don't worry about these details."
Luo Guifen said at this time: "Okay, you guys, drink something quickly! Then you can rest well."
Lao Du: "Yes, yes, yes, pour me some quickly, I'm really craving it."
There were no wine glasses in the room, and of course no bowls, but fortunately there were two enamel mugs.
Lin Gucheng and his wife used one, and Lao Qin and Lao Du used one. As soon as the wine was poured, Lao Du couldn't wait to pick it up and take a sip.
"Comfortable."
In this way, the four of them finished a bottle of Moutai with peanuts, and this was when they drank sparingly.
Although there was only one bottle of wine, we all drank it happily.
Half a pound of peanuts, you pinch a few and he pinches a few, and by the time you finish drinking the wine, you've finished eating them too.
There are not so many requirements at this time. There is no other way. Without chopsticks, you can only use your hands.
Lao Du: "Lao Lin, have you asked about the situation outside?"
Lin Gucheng shook his head and said, "No, you know how difficult it is to meet each other, so there is no time to talk about that!"
Lao Du nodded and said, "That's right. Forget it. What can we do now that we know?"
Lao Qin: “That’s right.”
Lao Du: "Lao Lin, how did your son-in-law get here?"
Lin Gucheng: "Purchasing."
Lao Qin: "Purchasing, your son-in-law is a purchasing agent?"
Lin Gucheng smiled and said, "My son-in-law is the deputy director of the purchasing department of the wool spinning factory and the deputy director of the logistics department."
Lao Du: "Wool spinning mill, is it the First Woolen Spinning Mill?"
Lin Gucheng: "Yes, it is the First Woolen Mill."
Lao Qin scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Lao Lin, how old is your son-in-law?"
They are not ordinary people! How could the First Woolen Mill not know about it? Not only do they know, they also know what level the First Woolen Mill is.
If he is the deputy director of the Logistics Department of the First Woolen Textile Factory, he should be at least at the director level!
To be the deputy director of the logistics department in a large company, one must be quite old! He could be in his thirties or forties.
Lin Gucheng: "What are you thinking about! My son-in-law is very young, the same age as my Ling'er."
Lao Du: "What, how is this possible?"
Lin Gucheng curled his lips and said, "What's impossible? That's because you don't know my son-in-law's ability. Let me tell you, from the beginning of the three-year difficult period until the accident, all the supplies for our family were sent by him."
After hearing what Lin Gucheng said, Lao Qin and Lao Du stopped talking.
They knew the weight of Lin Gucheng's words very well. At that time, they were also short of supplies! Especially meat, which they could only buy on the black market.
But even if you go to the black market to buy it, you may not be able to find it. There is no other choice but to run to Lin Gucheng's house to get a bite.
Lin Gucheng's family has never been short of meat! You can imagine how much supplies were sent.
Lao Qin: "Lao Lin! You have found a good son-in-law!"
Lin Gucheng: "Hahaha, this only shows that our Ling'er has good taste."
Lao Du: "It's really good. I've been eyeing it for a few years."
At the same time, Li Jiayi also ate in the space and then went through his daily routine.
Then I went to wash and shower and went back to the house to rest.
It takes about two hours to drive from here to the city, so he has no plan to go back to the city.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Li Jia got up and started practicing boxing in the space.
I didn't stop until I was sweating all over, then I washed, took a shower, and ate something in the space.
I looked at the time and it was already past eight in the morning when I came out of the space.
He came to the side of the road, looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he took out the jeep.
The things that needed to be brought had already been packed in the space, so after taking out the jeep, we drove directly to the Red Star Coal Mine.
Five hundred kilograms of bacon, five hundred kilograms of flour, two hundred kilograms of Lingquan wine that he brewed himself, and two hundred kilograms of raw peanuts.
This is what Li Jiayi prepared for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Of course, these are not daily necessities.
Soon Li Jiayi arrived at the Red Star Coal Mine, but he did not get off the car.
Because it was still early for the agreed time, he could only wait here for Director Wu to come.
Half an hour later, Mine Manager Wu arrived at the coal mine on his bicycle.
Without even stopping, he turned his bicycle around and started riding back. Li Jiayi quickly started the jeep and followed.
Mine Manager Wu’s home is not far from the coal mine, only about ten minutes by bike.
When we got here, we found that this was a housing estate for family members. Needless to say, all the people living here were from the mine.
Following Director Wu's bicycle, we soon arrived at a small courtyard.
Although Director Wu is the mine manager, the place he lives in is really not big.
. . . . . .
PS: Brothers and sisters, it is the Chinese New Year now! I have a lot of things to do every day, and I have no time to write. I can only find time to write at night. I am really sorry, but don't worry, I will resume after the Chinese New Year.
