Chapter 455: Little Thing Goes All the Way
Xicheng District
In the small courtyard of the canteen director’s home at the machine repair factory.
Lao Cui came here with gifts. He wanted to find a way to arrange for his nephew to work in the machine repair factory.
It would be better for him to start as a temporary worker first, so that when he retires in a few years, he can take over the job directly.
Director Li said this a little embarrassedly while smoking a cigarette.
"Lao Cui, the situation has changed a bit now. How about letting your nephew go to the branch of the steel mill that was just built in Xicheng? They are short of people and it would be easier to arrange for them..."
Lao Cui had been a cook all his life, so he wanted to bring his nephew up to train him. If he couldn't get into the machine repair shop, he wouldn't be able to teach his nephew a trade.
"Director Li, can you think of another way? But this kid is only eighteen years old... He's just a young boy. If I can't take him with me, I'm afraid he'll cause trouble."
Director Li shook his head and expressed helplessness.
"Old Cui, the news has spread throughout our machine repair factory... The steel rolling mill will soon be promoted to a department-level unit, and several small factories will be assigned to the steel rolling mill for unified management. There is actually no difference between going to the machine repair factory and going to a branch factory... In the future, they will all belong to the same unit."
After being prompted by the other party, Lao Cui reacted immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes. Director Li is the one who sees the future. I'll leave this matter to you to arrange..."
So Lao Cui agreed to let his nephew go to a branch of the steel rolling mill first.
After seeing off Lao Cui, Director Li did not go home. Instead, he went directly to Section Chief Lu's house to take credit...
The current machine repair plant has less than a thousand people and cannot be compared with a steel rolling mill with tens of thousands of people.
Although they are both directors, Director Li of the machine repair factory’s canteen has a lower administrative level than Section Chief Lu Dachuan.
Lin Chen had arranged for Lu Dachuan to keep an eye out for a man named Cui Dake at the machine repair factory...
Lu Dachuan assigned this task to his friend in the machinery factory, and now the person Lin Chen was waiting for finally appeared.
No matter what the reason is, since Lin Chen has arranged it... there must be a reason, so just do it.

The other side of West City
In a martyrs' cemetery
Qingming Festival is approaching
Today is Sunday again, and many people come here to worship.
The little thing was in front of a tombstone, and after placing the tributes, it began to mutter to itself.
"Brother Qi, I'm going to start a new life. I may not be able to visit you again in the future... I don't know whether I am right or wrong, but I believe that Brother Lin Chen is a good person."
The little thing came here this time to make a decision. She wants to let go of everything in the past...
Seize the opportunity, even though this road is bumpy...she will go all the way.
Live wholeheartedly for the future. After all, you can't always keep the deceased in your heart.
I'll never be able to get over that for the rest of my life...and it would be disrespectful to Brother Lin Chen.
This is also the result that Lin Chen wants. How could his woman think about someone else?
If the little thing can't be put down, then I can only let her go...
Lin Chen's principle is to have both body and mind, both are indispensable. As long as the body but the mind does not belong to oneself, it is meaningless.
Lin Chen would never allow the situation of sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams to exist.

Evening
Qin Huairu came back early, while Xian Yi stayed in Nanzhu Hutong...
"Brother Lin Chen, let's go quickly! Don't let Ba Wan wait too long..."
Lin Chen hugged Qin Huairu and flirted with her for a while before saying goodbye to everyone and leaving.
A night of spring is worth a thousand gold, and we really can’t let Xian Yi wait anxiously.
Fortunately, thanks to the system's space teleportation, Lin Chen can get there quickly... otherwise, all the time spent running around the city would be wasted on the road.
……
Nanzhu Hutong
Xian Yi, wearing a wedding dress, ran over to open the door for Lin Chen.
The two of them already knew each other well, so now when they came back here... they didn't feel embarrassed towards each other, after all, there were only the two of them here.
"You have to turn off the lights in a moment. I don't want you to see my embarrassing appearance."
Lin Chen held her in one hand and carried the food box in the other.
"You can turn off the lights, but you can't put out the red candles. Besides, you are so beautiful that you are meant to be admired..."
Now Xian Yi's delicate little face has completely recovered, it is so fair and delicate...
"I hate you. I knew you had this idea. What's there to see tonight? It must be painful. Aren't you afraid that my ferocious expression will affect your mood..."
"No, let's eat first... Once we drink the wedding wine, you won't be afraid anymore."
Xian Yi gently leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder...
"Don't get me drunk. Sister Huairu said tonight is the most important day for a girl. We need to keep all the good memories..."

Courtyard house
The Xu family, who originally wanted to invite Lin Chen for a drink, never got anyone.
Xu Damao looked in the direction of the Lin family and felt a little anxious.
Just at this time Xu Lingling came back from the Central Courtyard.
"Lingling, isn't Qin Jingru coming back today?"
"If I don't come back, I'll go straight to school tomorrow... Why do you care about this?"
After hearing what his sister said, Xu Damao hurried to the kitchen to report... Don't rush to stew the half chicken left over from yesterday. Lin Chen probably won't come back...
Xu Lingling couldn't help but shrug her shoulders as she looked at her brother's back.
"Every day is so inexplicable..."
Yan Bugui, who had the same idea as the Xu family, also ran to the backyard several times today... but he didn't see any trace of Lin Chen.
Now that Bai Ling has given birth, the Yan family wants to show their support. After all, she is the daughter's godmother, so under the insistence of the third aunt...
Yan Bugui agreed to treat Lin Chen to a meal to see if he could get Lin Chen to pass on a message... and then go visit after getting Bai Ling's consent.
Jia Dongxu, who was washing dishes at the sink in the middle courtyard, became curious.
"Uncle San, why did you run to the backyard eight times a day? What happened?"
Yan Bugui naturally wanted Lin Chen to help pass the message, but he didn't want to treat him to a meal.
It was just seven o'clock, and Yan Bugui wanted to wait a little longer. So he stopped and started chatting with Jia Dongxu...
"Just wash your dishes! Don't worry about Uncle Three's business... An old man is doing women's work all day long, even if Comrade Ma Lan needs a break from work. What is your mother doing at home when she is so young? Can't she wash dishes?"
Yan Bugui was just teasing Jia Dongxu on purpose because he knew that Jia Zhang had already gone to find Li Laoer in the afternoon... and hadn't even come back for dinner.
When Jia Dongxu mentioned his mother, he suddenly felt angry. Just now at the dinner table, Ma Lan ridiculed his mother for cheating on him... and now Yan Bugui followed suit.
I dare not resist my own wife, but you, Yan Bugui, say that I can’t…
"Third uncle, don't worry about the Jia family. When I went to the grain station to queue up today, I heard that the planned grain purchase system will be implemented soon. Will your family have enough food in the future? I'm afraid that even corn flour will be affected!"
Jia Dongxu knew Yan Bugui's weakness, so he changed the topic to hit him.
Today is Sunday, and most of the men in the courtyard took advantage of their free time to buy food rations. So Jia Dongxu heard the discussion of the people at the grain station...
Old boy, you are still mocking my Jia family. Your own family of six can’t even get enough food to eat!
Xu Damao's wife works as a salesperson at the grain station. She said that they would soon implement a rationing system. They have already started experimenting with grain coupons and grain books...
According to the distribution of rations based on labor, Yan Bugui is the only one working in the Yan family. The other five people cannot be given the full quota... they can only be counted according to the children.
It is impossible for teenagers to meet the labor quota.
