Lin Yu sat down at the table, and Li Huai De poured him a glass of Fen Jiu.
“Xiao Yu, can you have a drink?”
“Sure, I had a drink with my dad before I came.” Lin Yu said with a smile.
Wang Mei Lan saw Lin Yu sitting down at the table, and immediately went to prepare two more cold dishes for drinking.
“Xiao Yu, did your dad say anything about the personnel changes at the factory?” Li Huai De asked Lin Yu after taking two bites of the dish.
Lin Yu chuckled, it was coming.
“Uncle, the Security Department will definitely have changes. If you have someone inside, tell them not to act rashly. The winds are strong now, and this grass can’t easily blow with the wind.”
Li Huai De paused with his chopsticks, then said: “Xiao Yu, there are walls to block the wind. As long as the grass leans against the wall, it will be fine. Which wall do you think it should lean against?”
Lin Yu chuckled and picked up a piece of fish roe and put it in his mouth: “Delicious, so good, I love eating fish roe.”
He picked up another piece of fish roe, but before he could put it in his mouth, he crushed it.
“Uncle, look, it’s crushed. I’ll have to wait until next time we stew fish to eat it.”
Li Huai De instantly looked surprised.
“It’s that windy?”
“The weather is going to change, it’s not unusual for it to be windy.” Lin Yu said with a hint of meaning: “Uncle, keep these good things for your own family. Don’t send them to outsiders. They won’t be available for a while. My dad sent all the ones we had at home to his old leader.”
Li Huai De knew that Lin Wei Guo’s connections were in the Garrison Command and the Armed Department.
If the Security Department’s actions didn’t involve the Garrison Command, then it must be going to the Armed Department.
Thinking about it, Li Huai De knew that Lin Wei Guo must have been promoted this time.
Moreover, the changes in the Security Department were most likely because Lin Wei Guo’s people were coming up.
“I understand, Xiao Yu, eat more. This fish is fresh… Why am I showing off to you? If you want fresh fish, you can just slice it off the fish.”
Li Huai De regretted his words before he even finished speaking. What was he showing off to this mountain king for?
“Hey, Uncle, get me some cloth tickets.” Lin Yu said with a mischievous smile.
Li Huai De was stunned: “Didn’t I give you twenty feet today? What did you do? Buy clothes for some girl?”
Lin Yu said confidently: “No, I bought cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative today. My grandma told my eldest cousin about a marriage proposal. I’ll buy some cloth to make the old lady happy.”
“I want to get some more cloth tickets, buy two sets of clothes for my sister, make myself a new outfit, and most importantly, make some equipment to prepare for going to the mountains in winter.”
Li Huai De immediately became serious when he heard about going to the mountains.
Going to the mountains could get meat, and meat was related to Old Li’s image among his fellow workers. This deal was a win-win.
“No problem, I’ll get you fifty feet of cloth tickets. You came at the right time today. I just did something for Zhang, the deputy director of the First Textile Factory this afternoon. He gave me 100 feet of cloth tickets, I’ll give you half.”
Li Huai De got up and went into the room. In a short while, he came out with a stack of cloth tickets.
“Don’t say your uncle doesn’t love you. Here’s the good stuff for you.” Li Huai De specially handed over four special cloth tickets.
Lin Yu took a look. Wow, twelve feet of special wool cloth tickets for cashmere.
This was something only leaders could have. Even Li Huai De, at his current level, couldn’t get it.
It seems that Old Li did something big today.
“Hey, thanks, Li Uncle. This is good stuff, I’ll make myself a suit with it for winter.”
These special-grade wool tickets didn’t have any date restrictions. They were for leaders anyway, who would care about the date?
Wang Mei Lan heard Lin Yu’s words and quickly said: “Xiao Yu, you are handsome and have a good physique. You will look good in a suit. I have a leather shoe ticket, take it.”
Wang Mei Lan got up and went to get the leather shoe ticket for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu knew that this was the couple’s way of thanking him for leaking the information.
Otherwise, Old Li would have just planted his people in the Security Department and then they were pulled out by a strong wind. Old Li would be crying by then.
Also, Lin Yu brought these things today, and someone might see them.
Giving Lin Yu some cloth tickets could be considered an exchange.
Moreover, Lin Yu wouldn’t be considered a profiteer for exchanging cloth tickets, he could say it to anyone without fear.
That’s why he was a leader, he thought comprehensively.
Like in the drama, when Li Huai De accepted the gold bars from Xu Da Mao, he said, “You’re getting married.”
He was just finding an excuse and a cover for himself.
Half an hour later, Lin Yu checked the time, it was 7:30, so he got up to leave.
As he walked out of Li Huai De’s apartment building, Lin Yu rode his bicycle and marveled at Old Li’s generosity.
The printed cloth and cotton he bought at noon were already put in the kang cabinet at home. He wondered if his mother could see them.
He had two drinks tonight, even though Lin Yu was in good health and not drunk, he still smelled of alcohol.
The courtyard of the steel mill’s family housing area was not far away. It took less than 15 minutes to get there by bike.
“Huh, why is the courtyard so quiet today? Where’s Old Man Yan? Why isn’t he guarding the gate?” Lin Yu mumbled to himself and walked in.
“Hey, I thought why no one was in the front yard. Everyone is gathered here, what are you doing at night? Are you full and bored?”
Lin Yu said, looking at the crowd gathered in the middle courtyard.
“Brother Lin, you’re finally back! Sister Miao Miao was scolded by Grandma Jia.” He Yu Shui said to Lin Yu with red eyes.
When Lin Yu heard that his sister was scolded, he immediately got angry. He put down his bicycle and squeezed through the crowd.
He saw a square table, and the three useless people of the courtyard, were sitting in a self-righteous manner at the three corners of the square table.
A dressed-up pig stood in the middle of the crowd, constantly yelling at Sha Zhu.
His sister was standing behind Sha Zhu, her eyes red.
Lin Yu saw this scene and immediately became furious.
“That pig, shut your damn mouth! What are you doing, you want to make a scene and get horny? What are you yelling about?” Lin Yu’s string of extremely vulgar language directly stopped Jia Zhang Shi.
“Xiao Lin, how can you talk like that? Grandma Jia is an elder, you have to apologize.” Before Lin Yu could ask his sister what happened, Hai Ge, the moral god, stood up and spoke first.
“Apologize to your damn mother! Hai Zi, you’ve been around for so many years, how come you only grow wrinkles and not brains? You forgot when my grandpa held a gun to your head?” Lin Yu shrugged.
