Chapter 2: The Death of the Father
"Xiao Lin! I am grateful to you today, otherwise the cracks in the jade Qianlong dragon pattern cup and plate will probably be really impossible to repair, and this time I will definitely give you a credit, and any benefits will definitely fall on you next time." Section Chief Chen said to Lin Hainan.
"The section chief has won the award, I just helped check the information, if you want to say that it is hard, it is still the hardest work of the senior brothers. Lin Hainan lowered his head in flattery and said.
"Hahaha! What I appreciate most is you, most of the young people nowadays are so happy, there are really not many people like you who are as diligent and motivated, I believe that you will have better achievements in the future." The section chief said like a loving elder and patted Lin Hainan's head with his hand
"The section chief praised it, I just did what I was supposed to do. ”
"Xiao Lin, you kid is like this, forget it, go home early!" Seeing Lin Hainan's embarrassed appearance, the section chief turned around helplessly and prepared to leave.
"Well, by the way, did you think about the little girl I talked about last time?"
"Ahh Section Chief, thank you for your kindness, it's just that I'm still young... There are no plans to do so yet. Lin Hainan silently thought in his heart that he could only come to the Forbidden City to work by relying on his mother's introduction and help, and the section chief also introduced the object, which had a bad impact.
"It's not small, I think when I was the same age as you, your brother was already able to walk. You don't have to be shy, didn't you take a fancy to that girl, if you don't like me, I'll introduce you to another one, I think the daughter of the old Sun family is quite beautiful......"
"No, no, that girl is very good, how can I look down on people, just me, a person who has no house, no car and nothing, how dare I look down on people, but I really don't have plans now. ”
"In that case, I won't force you, when you have an idea, I promise to introduce you to a better one, you do it now. After speaking, he patted Lin Hainan on the shoulder.
"Thank you, section chief!"
After separating from the section chief, Lin Hainan walked out of the gate of the Forbidden City alone, heard the door behind him slowly close, and looked back to see that it was time for another day to clear the field. It has been three years since I worked in the Forbidden City. In the past year, the old people in the museum will introduce him to him every once in a while, is he really of the age of marriage?
After squeezing the subway and transferring to the bus, he finally returned to his nest. He, like many people in the north, can only live in a small house of more than ten square meters. There is not much space left after a bed is placed in the whole room, a wardrobe is placed against the wall, next to it is a computer desk, in addition to a notebook on the table, there is also a toolbox, the things in this box are Lin Hainan's treasures, this is his tool for repairing cultural relics, and a large number of cultural relics restoration data, these are left by his father.
Time passed day by day, and Lin Hainan lived a peaceful and quiet life, without any superfluous fluctuations.
Until one day, the section chief suddenly found him.
"Section chief, you called me?"
"Xiao Lin is here, you sit down first, I have something to show you here." The section chief said as he handed over a document.
"National Treasure Exhibition Conference?" Lin Hainan was surprised.
"Well, you must know that there are many cultural relics lovers in other countries in the world besides China, and similar exhibitions are often held around the world. ”
"This time in London?"
"Well, this time it is held by the British royal family, and the venue is set in London, you don't underestimate such a party, maybe the treasures seen at this party are treasures that many people have never seen in their lives, or even don't know. ”
"What does the section chief mean?"
"I'm old, it's time for you young people to go out and see the world, and a few of us old guys discussed it and decided to give you this place. ”
"Let me go to London? Wouldn't this decision be a bad one, I think such an opportunity should be given to someone more qualified, such as Brother Liu." Lin Hainan looked at the section chief in disbelief, he had been taken care of by his predecessors since he entered the Forbidden City, but this time, it seemed that he had taken too much care.
"Xiaolin! It's good that you have such thoughts, but don't take yourself too seriously, I see how hard you have worked in the past two years, and if you don't say it, it doesn't mean you don't know. This opportunity is rare, I personally think you should try it, I believe you will learn a lot of things that you can't learn in your lifetime in the Forbidden City, this matter is so decided, next month you will go with Director Hou, there will be a special person in London to receive you, you will send your passport to Director Hou in a while, he will prepare visas and air tickets. ”
"Then thank you section chief for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely study hard. Seeing that the section chief had prepared everything, Lin Hainan had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to meet the market.
"You stinky boy how can you learn these official words, you don't need to be like this in front of me in the future, I used to be an old buddy with your father, and the person I admire the most in my life is him......"
"Section Chief... Can you tell me about my father?" Lin Hainan said to Section Chief Chen with his head down.
"Your father..."Section Chief Chen looked at Lin Hainan and fell into deep thought.
"Since I was a child, my mother didn't tell me about my father's work, and I only knew that he worked in the Forbidden City, until that time he went out to buy books for me and never came back, and my mother told me that my father was ...... My dad's job was dangerous, and I couldn't tell anyone......"
"Your dad...... Speaking of him, he was the pride of our Forbidden City back then! He was simply a genius and had an extremely strong love for cultural relics...... At first, he was only responsible for woodwork, but then I don't know when he secretly learned how to repair porcelain...... Alas, if something hadn't happened, now ...... Your mom is right...... It was the Forbidden City that harmed him......" said the section chief slowly.
"That's... Do you know where my dad went? I don't believe my dad died, he didn't die, did he?" As soon as the topic of his father's life and death was mentioned, Lin Hainan became excited.
"Xiaolin, don't get excited, I don't know much about your father, the police have already decided the case when I received the notice. ”
"No way, my dad just went to buy me books, and they all said he was dead, he must not be dead, and no one saw his body. When he mentioned the past, Lin Hainan's mind was full of regret and chagrin.
"Xiaolin, don't do this, I didn't see the body, but the car has exploded...... Your dad is my good brother, and I don't want to believe that fact......"
"If I hadn't had to buy that book that day, my dad wouldn't have gone out...... Okay, why did you get into a car accident......"
