Chapter 16: How did you end up here?

  "Old Lin, I plan to borrow this child Hongfei from their factory to our repair shop for a while, what do you think?" Since the Lin family had sent themselves such a big gift, Liu Feng naturally wanted to return the favor. Now that he knew about Lin Hongfei's situation, it was easy to bring him to the military district's repair factory under the pretext of borrowing him.

  "This... Commander, isn't this a bit...?" Lin Weiguo's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment. A man in his forties with a strong build like steel, at this moment, because of his son's work, actually had a blush on his face!

  To be honest, Lin Weiguo naturally hopes that his son can join the division's construction department. He knows his own son and Lin Hongfei's brain is absolutely capable. However, when it comes to interpersonal skills, Comrade Lin Weiguo feels that Lin Hongfei still has a lot to learn. If he puts him in the division's construction department, with himself keeping an eye on him, his son can also mature a bit, right?

  It's just that the military division's construction site is a bit sensitive, and Lin Weiguo, who has been honest all his life, doesn't want others to say that he used his power for personal gain, and point fingers at him behind his back.

  "There's nothing wrong with this, it's settled then! I've said it, and that's final!" The commander was indeed the commander, and with a majestic wave of his hand, he finalized the matter. "This thing is currently being tried out, and having an outsider do it wouldn't be a big deal, but if it's really going to be mass-produced, can we still have outsiders doing it? Of course not! Our own factory will do it!"

  Liu Fengcai has already said so much, what can Lin Weiguo say? A man, a hot-blooded soldier, is not good at expressing his emotions with words. If Lin Weiguo was still taking an indifferent attitude towards this matter before, then at this moment, Lin Weiguo had made up his mind, even if he had to sacrifice 20 pounds of flesh, he would definitely get it done!

  After chatting for so long, the time was no longer early. Looking at the time, it was almost time to blow out the lights. Lin Weiguo and Liu Fengcai exchanged a few pleasantries before bidding farewell. Despite repeated refusals, Liu Fengcai insisted on sending Lin Weiguo and his son to the door.

  Lao Ban attaches great importance to Lin Weiguo and his son, which is evident in Liu Furen's eyes. As a qualified leader's wife, at this time, Liu Furen showed her level as a leader's wife to Lin Hongfei, "Hongfei, come visit our home when you have time."

  The same words, spoken by different people, give a completely different feeling. As far as Lin Hongfei knows, no one's child has ever received an invitation from Commander's wife before.

  Lin Hongfei hastily agreed, it was not possible to refuse at this time. The commander and his wife's faces looked unpleasant, and if you refused, what would others think of you? Did the commander's wife invite you, and did you dare to refuse? Wasn't that too disrespectful?

  ………………

  "Son, I think Liu Jie seems to like you." As soon as they left the door, Lin Weiguo glanced at his son and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Today, his son gave him a very different feeling from usual, it seemed... overnight, his son had grown up a lot, his son had grown up, but also made himself not understand.

  "Maybe?" Lin Hongfei smiled and said vaguely, "Maybe your son is more likable?"

  "Is he popular?" Lin Weiguo didn't expect his son's face to be so thick-skinned, and he also laughed, "Thick-skinned is just about right."

  It's said that, but in fact, his son's personality has become much more cheerful than before. Although he doesn't say it out loud, Lin Weiguo is still very happy in his heart. A man shouldn't be too talkative like a woman, but if Sanpangzi can't even utter a word, that would be even worse. A real man should be able to speak loudly and write passionately, only then can he live a life worth living.

  The father and son walked back, laughing and chatting, when suddenly a thought popped into Lin Hongfei's mind. He stopped abruptly and looked at Lin Dao with a surprised expression, "Uncle Pei, what are you doing there... smoking?"

  "Is Lao Pei here?" Lin Weiguo was surprised by his son's sudden and inexplicable shout, and asked in surprise, subconsciously following Lin Hongfei's gaze...

  Isn't this nothing?

  On the side of the military district's family courtyard, there are naturally streetlights. Although they're not very bright, they can still illuminate the road surface without any issues. However, if you stand under the streetlight and try to see clearly into the tree-lined area, it won't work. The strong contrast between light and dark makes the tree-lined area appear pitch black.

  Damn it, how did I get discovered again? Pei Guangrong hiding behind the tree cursed in his heart.

  Tonight, after finishing dinner, Pei Guangrong stood at the window smoking and inadvertently saw Lin Weiguo taking his son towards Liu Shuai's house. He felt a little suspicious in his heart, so he decided to follow them quietly. However, he didn't expect that Lin and his son would stay inside for over an hour after entering. This made Pei Guangrong suffer as he hadn't worn much when he came out from home. But the more he waited, the more determined he became to wait there. It was clear that Lin and his son must have come to see Liu Fengcai for something big, and it was very likely related to the troop's matter. What's a little cold? As long as they waited until they came out and listened to what they said, everything would be worth it.

  This is also a common problem for people, when chatting and talking with the closest people to themselves, some secrets will inevitably be revealed intentionally or unintentionally. Especially like this, Lin's father and son had just come out of Commander Liu's house, it was dark and quiet, and the two casually chatted about what they said at Commander Liu's place earlier, which was completely normal, but the words that came out unintentionally were very valuable to themselves.

  Pei Guangrong never thought that he had just seen the father and son come out of Commander Liu's house and hide behind a tree, but Lin Hongfei saw them? Fortunately, Lin Hongfei's last sentence gave Pei Guangrong an excuse, so he flashed out from behind the tree, nodded at Lin Weiguo and smiled, "Yes, I had a sudden craving for cigarettes earlier and didn't want to let my comrades see me, so I found a place to hide and satisfy my craving."

  For a moment, Lin Weiguo didn't think much and walked up to Pei Guangrong with a smile. "I say, old Pei, when did you become henpecked? You're sneaking out to smoke a cigarette?" He stretched out his hand to Pei Guangrong, "Come on, old Pei, have one."

  Pei Guangrong was suddenly stunned, he had just casually put on a piece of clothing when he came out, and there wasn't even any cigarettes in his pocket. Fortunately, Pei Guangrong reacted quickly, forced a laugh, patted his pockets, "None left, I'll secretly take out two, they were all gone earlier." As he spoke, he self-mockingly said, "Isn't this because I'm afraid of being seen by my comrades and having them confiscate it? They all hid in the woods to smoke."
