Chapter 445 Because It Is a City! (Second Update!)

"This is the grandson of the third son. He came all the way from Shandong Province to wish you a happy new year. You can't let him go back empty-handed."

"This is the grandson of your third son. You have to call him brother."

"Don't call me that, little bastard. You have to call me uncle."

After visiting every household until the early morning, Lin Xingwang took Lin Yu back to the small store.

The old man didn't care about the time at all. He picked up the phone in the store and called his son.

After a few words, he went back to the room to search, took a thick photo album, went back to the fire pit, took out the photos in the album, and showed them to Lin Yu one by one.

"This, this big bucktooth is your grandfather. You... you should have seen his photo. The way he looks in the photo is that he went to the hospital to get his teeth corrected after returning from the war."

"It is said that he was pursuing your grandmother, and your grandmother said that his teeth were too ugly and hurt his self-esteem, so he got them corrected."

"Then he became a mouthful of steel teeth, but he especially likes to eat stewed pork hind legs."

"These two are your great grandfather and great grandmother. They have suffered in the fields all their lives and look older than anyone else."

"This is your second grandmother. She looks very quiet, right?"

"She is from Shanxi Province. She looks weak on the outside, but she is full of bones on the inside."

"But fortunately, she is not fierce."

"This is your fourth grandfather and fourth grandmother. They look very quiet, right? In fact, they are two barrels of explosives that will explode at any time."

"But these two barrels of explosives have been together for decades without exploding. It's really rare."

"This is your eldest uncle. He is very stupid."

"This is your second uncle. He looks like a monkey."

"This is what your father looked like when he was a child. The conditions at your grandfather's workplace were too bad at that time, so he left him with me."

"This photo is definitely not among the things he left for you."

As he said this, Lin Xingwang handed over an old yellowed photo. The photo was not sealed in plastic. The fact that it can be preserved until now is entirely due to the carefulness of the person who preserved the photo.

The yellowed photo shows that the photo was taken in summer through the crops in the surrounding paddy fields.

The protagonist in the photo is a boy of five or six years old.

Naked, covered in mud and water, holding a fish in his left hand, and his right hand is clamped by a crab.

He is crying with his mouth wide open.

He is crying very sadly.

However, from the perspective of the photographer, the person who took the photo is very happy.

Lin Yu held the photo, and Lin Xingwang's voice came from the side: "This is a photo of your father when he was a child, touching crabs in the paddy field over Qianling Mountain and being caught."

"I tell you, when your father was a child, he was completely a monkey. None of the monkeys in Qianling Mountain could jump like him."

"Even if there was a pile of cow dung on the side of the road, he would poke it with a stick, and the passing dogs would be kicked by him."

"Compared to him, your grandfather is much quieter."

"I just don't know how such a quiet person gave birth to a monkey?"

"The reason why he and your mother met is even funnier."

"The job I found for your father had to pass by the gate of the family compound of the armed forces."

"Your father was showing off with his co-workers, and at the critical moment the chain broke, and he fell to the ground."

"That time, your mother happened to see it, Just laugh at him. "

"In order to show off, your father carried a Phoenix 28-bar with a face full of nosebleed. He ran to catch up with his co-worker."

"Later, every time your father passed by there, he would slow down and perform various acrobatics. He also learned to play the accordion. After a while, they became good friends."

"Finally, your grandfather got a stable job, so he brought a letter and asked him to go there to work."

"The two little bastards thought about eloping together."

"As a result, when we arrived in Shandong Province, your grandfather passed away before the family had a few days of good life."

"It's a pity that there were more things going on at that time, otherwise I could have taken more photos, and you can see more photos now."

"Oh, forget it, it's all in the past."

Holding the photos in both hands, Lin Xingwang sighed again and again, his eyes wandering to the burning fire pit.

After a long while, he whispered, "Take these old photos with you. When you get to Lincheng, find a photo studio and print a new copy of them."

"It's good to have a thought. I'm going to sleep first."

Handing the photos to Lin Yu, Lin Xingwang slowly stood up, hunched over, and walked towards the bedroom step by step.

And Lin Yu also found a photo of three people.

Two adults and a baby.

Both adults were still wearing bandages.

Shaking his head, he turned around and walked out of the house, took out a notebook from the car, clipped the photos into the notebook, and put them away.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Lin Yu closed the car door and went back to the room to sleep.

…………

“I tell you, don’t be afraid when driving on this kind of mountain road. The more afraid you are, the more likely you are to have problems.”

“Come on, trust your second grandfather, step on the accelerator and give it gas.”

“There are 18 bends on the mountain road, and there are still 17 bends after this one.”

“Going fast on a bend is really fast, who can’t give gas on a straight line?”

“You think I can’t drive? I’m telling you, you didn’t even know where I was when I was driving to chase the enemy?”

“It’s because your two uncles don’t dare to buy me a car, otherwise how can I bear your anger?”

While he was talking, the advancing convoy slowly came to a stop. Lin Xingwang poked his head out from the passenger side, only to find that there was a car in the front of the group that was afraid of the puddles on the road and was turning the steering wheel and grinding.

After looking at it for a while, the old man directly cursed: "That car is your ancestor? You are grinding, please hurry up and walk..."

…………

Lincheng.

Hurrying slowly, it took Lin Yu and the two of them a day to get to Lin City from the ancestor's grave by the Chishui River.

Under Lin Xingwang's guidance, Lin Yu parked the car in front of his uncle Lin Pinghai's house. Carrying large and small bags of bacon, the old man knocked hard on the door.

After knocking for a long time, Lin Pinghai, who looked haggard, stepped on his fur slippers and opened the door with a puzzled face. When he saw the two people at the door, he couldn't help but open his mouth:

"Dad! Why are you so fast? I even said I would pick you up tomorrow."

"Rely on you? The day lilies are already cold." Lin Xinghai glanced at his son and winked at Lin Yu's hand:

"I don't have any eyesight, so hurry up and help Xiaoyu carry something."

"Ah? Oh!" Lin Pinghai woke up from a dream and quickly reached out to take the bacon from Lin Yu's hand. He retreated into the room and put the things in the corner of the kitchen.

Putting down his things, he rushed to the water dispenser, boiled water, and made tea.

After delivering the hot tea to the two of them, he had time to stare at Lin Yu, looking left and right, and asked:

"Is this the kid from Xiao Ai Su's family? He's already... so big? He's taller than me and quite strong!"

"Looks much more mature and stable than that boy Aisu."

"Do you have a girlfriend? There happen to be some young girls in the home of a colleague in our unit. Would you like to help introduce them?"

As he spoke, the uncle pulled Lin Yu and began to count the benefits of girls from Guizhou Province:

"They are gentle and considerate, but also practical and capable. Most of them can cook well. Moreover, they are absolutely protective of the family. If you are fighting outside, they can definitely hand you bricks."

Listening to his rambling words, Lin Yu couldn't help but scratch his head with his hand.

Why is gentleness and consideration associated with passing bricks?

What if the brick was handed to his head?

Just when he was doubting, Lin Xingwang's voice sounded next to him: "Don't listen to your uncle. He is the chief of the Lincheng Public Security Bureau. Although the girls who work with him in his unit are all good-looking."

"But their temperament is definitely following each other's father. When girls from Sichuan and Chongqing areas see them, they have to move aside."

"Okay, Pinghai, Xiaoyu didn't come here for a blind date this time. He has other things to do..."

After explaining the context of the future, Lin Pinghai frowned, held his chin, nodded, and shook his head:

"If it's just a small project, it won't be a big problem."

"But the problem is, if it is really as big as your second grandfather said."

"Then I can only say that several cities in Guizhou Province will definitely knock their brains out."

"Since Dad said you were looking for Uncle Zhou, my suggestion is to make this clear sooner rather than later during the Spring Festival holiday."

"Other people go to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so give them something exciting as soon as they get to work."

After finishing his thoughts, Lin Pinghai was about to wait for a response. Unexpectedly, Lin Xingwang waved his hand directly at him: "You call Zhou Lin first and tell him that I'm back and want to find a card player. Ask him if he can do it." Can’t touch cards.”

After receiving the advice from his old father, Lin Pinghai turned around and made a phone call.

A few minutes later, he walked back to Lin Yu and the two of them, nodded his head: "I haven't gone to bed yet, and I said that I just bought a pair of mahjong."

Hearing this, Lin Xingwang immediately became energetic: "Then pack your things and go over!"

"Don't you want to take a rest?" Although on the way here, the old man fell asleep after scolding people, and woke up to continue scolding.

But after all, he is over eighty years old, which is a lot of age.

Faced with the junior's concern, Lin Xingwang waved his hand: "No need! Playing cards is more important."

After packing his things, Lin Yu drove the car, pulling the two elders with him, towards the community two streets away.

After passing the security guard of the community, and after a while of twists and turns, they finally stood at the door of Zhou Lin's house.

Reach out and ring the doorbell.

Two minutes later, the door was opened from the inside. Behind the door was an old lady who looked to be in her seventies. With a gentle smile, she invited several people in.

In the living room next to the door, there is an electric mahjong table. The shuffling indicator light on the table keeps flashing and making a clattering sound.

Next to the mahjong table, there was a fat old man with gray hair sitting, wearing reading glasses, holding the dice in his hand, and his eyes were shining.

Hearing the movement at the door, the fat old man immediately turned around and waved repeatedly: "Quick! There are exactly three of you, and there is exactly three missing."

Sitting down next to the mahjong table, Lin Xingwang casually turned off the power supply of the mahjong machine, smashed the document Lin Yu gave him on the table, and tapped it with his fingers:

"Don't you like playing mahjong and gambling? I've found a big job for you, do you dare to gamble?"

"Betting?" Zhou Lin picked up the documents on the table and opened them.

After reading it the first time, he read it a second time.

After reading it for the second time, his expression became very strange and he became very hesitant. He wanted to put down the document in his hand, but he was reluctant to do so.

After waffling like this for a long time, he finally put down the document, turned his eyes to his old friend, and asked:

"this……"

He looked at Lin Xinghai, but his left hand pointed at Lin Yu.

When asked, Lin Xinghai introduced him very generously: "Lin Yu, my great-nephew, the person in charge of Rheinsteel in Lanling City, the staff department is 13 cents."

"If you don't believe it, you can contact me directly."

After listening, Zhou Lin rubbed his head vigorously and said hesitantly: "I have actually heard of the name Rheinsteel Group."

"In the second half of last year, China Merchants Bureau made a plan to go to Shenzhen to attract several electronics factories to our province, Qian, and ask them to help with poverty alleviation. Among them was Rheinland Electronic Technology Company, which is said to be Rheinsteel. Affiliated companies of the group.”

"Comrades from China Merchants Group have contacted them before, but they declined."

"They said that their investment projects need to be confirmed by the boss personally. If the boss confirms it, both funds and technology will be abundant."

"If the boss doesn't confirm it, there's nothing."

"So, at the end of the year, China Merchants Group made another plan, which was to visit Lanling directly and invite the other party."

"Now you suddenly jump out and say that you are the person in charge of Rheinsteel and that you want to launch a project in Guizhou Province."

"It's not grandpa, I don't believe you. It's really..."

After speaking in a heavy tone, Zhou Lin lowered his gaze to Lin Xinghai, lowered his chin and said, "Be cautious."

These three words seemed to be Zhou Lin talking about himself, but they were actually talking about Lin Xinghai.

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai smiled at Lin Yu and controlled the back legs of the chair with his buttocks.

Lin Pinghai watched his old man withdraw from the battlefield, and followed suit, dragging his chair to the side.

Lin Yu dragged his chair to sit opposite Zhou Lin and held out his right hand:

"Mr. Zhou, let's get to know Lin Yu, Shuangmulin, and Yan Wuyu again. You doubt my identity. So, what kind of proof do you want?"

"Is it a certificate from the General Staff, or a certificate from Rheinsteel Group or Rheinland Electronics?"

"Or, you use your own connections to prove it?"

Facing the inquiry, Zhou Lin shook his head and did not follow the words. Instead, he tapped the document with his finger and asked:

"Why did this cake fall on our heads?"

"In Guizhou Province, there is no transportation, no money, and the schools in the province are rubbish."

“I believe in targeted poverty alleviation in an eastern coastal city, but I don’t believe in investing here in the name of a company.”

Looking at the old man opposite, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, put away the expression on his face, and said seriously:

"Because it's a city!"

"What I want to build is a city, a semiconductor city."

"This city needs a lot of water and electricity. This amount is too large for ordinary cities to afford."

"And the hydropower in Guizhou Province can just meet this requirement."

"Finally, the reason why we chose Guizhou Province is because of its climate and geological conditions."

"In terms of climate, our equipment needs to be cooled down. The cost of use when the ambient temperature is 20 degrees Celsius is different from when the ambient temperature is 35 degrees Celsius."

"In terms of geology, according to the data I got, even if there is an earthquake, it will end at magnitude 5."

"This is very important to us. The factory I have worked so hard to build does not want to be wasted because of geological disasters."
