Grandma Lin meant that if Zhou Hehua and the child both went, there would be no time to take care of the child.
If you're going to stay home to take care of the kids, wouldn't going to Haicheng be a waste of your labor?
So Grandma Lin wanted Zhou Hehua to go over so that the couple could reunite, and she would take care of the child at home.
Lin Yu couldn't help but think of "left-behind children".
But then I thought, Lin Shan won't stay in Haicheng forever; even if he leaves, it will only be for a year or two.
The two children, one eight years old and the other three, no longer need their parents to hold them all the time.
For a year or two, the parents would occasionally come back to see the child, but it didn't cause any problems.
So she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my sister-in-law."
Grandma Lin felt much relieved when she saw that Lin Yu agreed.
Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled and asked her, "Don't you want to go to Haicheng anymore?"
Grandma Lin waved her hand and said, "Haicheng is nice, but it's not our home. It's fine to go there occasionally, but we don't want to stay long-term."
Grandpa Lin also said, "We two old folks are more comfortable at home."
Although they live comfortably in Haicheng and their work is not tiring, they always keep the Lianhua Brigade in their hearts.
Grandpa Lin misses his old friends, and Grandma Lin misses her old sisters too.
The elderly believe in returning to their roots and don't like staying outside.
Lin Yu expressed her understanding: "Then you will help us guard the rear."
The elderly couple, who were initially worried that their granddaughter would be upset if they quit, were delighted to hear this.
The three chatted for a while, then took a nap. When they woke up again, the radio announced that they had arrived in the province.
Lin Yu led the two off the car and transferred to a bus to the commune. As soon as they got off the bus, they met Lin Yuan, who had come to pick them up.
Lin Yuan left after delivering the goods to Haicheng last time, so he hasn't seen his grandparents for a month or two.
As soon as he heard they were going home, he drove over to pick them up.
Once in the car, Lin Yuan first said to his grandparents, "We've been so unaccustomed to you being gone."
His childhood memories are that no matter where he went, his grandparents were always there when he came home.
But now that the elderly couple has suddenly gone on a long trip together, he feels uneasy every time he eats and sees the two empty seats in the main room.
When Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin heard him say that, they laughed heartily, which showed that they were still somewhat useful at home.
Grandma Lin asked her grandson, "How's things at home lately?"
Lin Yuan said, "Everything is normal, except that the old ladies in the factory miss you so much. They keep asking when you're coming back. Without you, they don't feel like gossiping anymore."
Grandma Lin rolled her eyes at him: "We don't call that gossiping, we just chat about everyday things."
Lin Yuan smiled slyly: "Alright, alright, you're just having a casual chat."
After hearing what he said, Grandma Lin missed her sisters even more.
They wished Lin Yuan's car would drive into the village entrance the very next second.
Unfortunately, the county town is still quite a distance from the brigade.
Lin Yu then asked about work.
Lin Yuan said, "The sales of gift packages for this Spring Festival are very good. With orders from Beicheng and the county, plus orders from the provincial capital and your Haicheng, our factory's income is going to increase again this year."
Under his watchful eye, the food factory has been moving in an increasingly positive direction.
Lin Yuan recalled the question Lin Yu had mentioned to him before he left and said, "Several young people are working with those educated youth and they are learning quite well now."
"By the way, how's my older brother doing? Is he doing a good job?"
When it comes to his eldest grandson, Grandpa Lin has a lot to say.
"Your older brother is doing a great job, he's a store manager now."
The older generation has traditional values and will always prioritize their eldest grandson.
So when Grandpa Lin saw Lin Shan's work performance in Haicheng, he was filled with praise and wanted to shower him with compliments.
Lin Yuan listened and felt that he was exaggerating: "Grandpa, you don't need to praise him like that. What if my eldest brother believes it and gets carried away?"
Grandpa Lin pursed his lips: "How could I not understand? We didn't praise your brother at all."
The elderly person is just too shy to praise the child to their face, but they are actually very satisfied inside.
When Lin Shan first said he wanted to resign from his position in the brigade and go to work in Haicheng, Grandpa Lin was actually not optimistic about it.
After all, Lin Shan has always stayed in his own little corner of the world; how could he possibly have the ability to work in Haicheng?
But since Lin Aiguo and Lin Yu both supported him, Grandpa Lin didn't say anything.
He went to Haicheng with them, but in his heart he was actually thinking of testing his eldest grandson's abilities. If he wasn't good enough, it would be better to go back to the brigade together as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, once they arrived there, Lin Yu went to communicate and coordinate with the local government, and he followed along without any fear.
Later, he and Lin Yu had to go through the trouble of obtaining many of the necessary documents separately.
Once the shop started to get business, Lin Yu never interfered, in order to train Lin Shan.
Lin Shan was busy for a whole morning, but he quickly became proficient.
Later on, he developed his own set of management and work methods.
Grandpa Lin saw all of this, and naturally he overturned his previous distrust of Lin Shan.
He then felt that his eldest grandson was an exceptional person.
Grandpa Lin said to Lin Yuan, "Don't say I didn't praise you. The most capable person in our family is Xiaoyu, and the second is your eldest brother. You should be able to rank fourth."
Lin Yuan asked him, "Who's third?"
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Do you even need to ask? She's a young lady who works in the provincial capital."
Lin Yuan then remembered that his eldest daughter was now a propaganda officer, a minor leader.
If you were to say he's better than Da Niu, he'd be too ashamed to admit it.
Sigh, Lin Yuan is a salesman at the factory. He's traveled all over the country and can even drive.
But now he's almost not even in the top ranks of the Lin family.
It's just that their children are all too capable.
Thinking of Lin Yi and Xiao Bao, who are both very smart, and Er Niu, who has excellent grades.
Lin Yuan felt that he would probably only be ranked ahead of Tie Dan in the future.
By the time I drove to my doorstep, it was completely dark.
Upon hearing the sound of the car, the Lin family members all ran out of their homes.
Lin Aiguo ran ahead and, upon seeing Grandpa and Grandma Lin, excitedly shouted, "Dad, Mom!"
Grandma Lin was startled: "What are you doing? Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf."
Aunt smiled and said, "Mom, he misses you all."
Grandpa Lin, with his hands behind his back, said disdainfully, "It's only been two months, right? Eldest son, you're a grandfather now, how can you still be so immature?"
Lin Aiguo now has his parents nagging him, so they can say whatever they want about him.
"With neither of you here, I always feel like I'm missing a pillar of support."
Normally, he would discuss things with his parents before making a decision about anything at home.
But with the two of them gone, he is truly the head of the household.
He wants to manage everything at home, and I'm always uneasy about it.
Now that they're all back, Lin Aiguo is the happiest of them all.
Zhou Hehua ran out of the house at this moment, looked at them, and asked Lin Yu, "Where is your older brother?"
