On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1981, Lin Zhenhua's family ushered in two happy events.

First of all, her sister Lin Fanghua won the first place in the whole grade in the final exam of this semester, which is equivalent to the first place in the county, because the results of students in several other high schools cannot be compared with the county No. 1 middle school at all. Compared with last year's college entrance examination admissions, the first place in Fenghua County will definitely be able to go to the top universities in the country.

When this news came, the whole Hanhua factory caused a sensation, and its impact far exceeded that of Lin Zhenhua's contracted labor service company and the large bonuses given to all temporary workers. Legend has it that if the children of Hanhua Factory want to jump out of Hanhua Factory, there are only two ways, one is to become a soldier, and the other is to engage in sports, because sports students can basically ignore their grades. Now, Hanhua Factory finally has a child who can get the first place in the county.

The Lin family brothers and sisters all stood out, which triggered countless gossip rumors in Hanhua Factory. There was a worker who was relatively close to the ancestral home of the Lin family, and even went to Lin Zhenhua's hometown to see the graves of his parents, and even the graves of his grandparents, and then came back and told everyone that there was indeed a vision on the graves of the Lin family. After his reminder, Lin Zhenhua also remembered that it was time to go back to sweep the graves of his parents and ancestors, so he took his sister back once, and these details do not need to be detailed.

The second happy event of the Lin family was that the factory gave Lin Zhenhua a two-bedroom apartment in the newly built residential building in the name of rewarding contributing talents. This residential building, the first unit building of Hanhua Factory, adopts a two-bedroom and one-living room house design with its own kitchen and bathroom, which was a luxury house in those years. There was no second such building in the factory, and all the workers' dwellings at that time had a simple kitchen at best, and there were absolutely no toilets.

The matter of dividing Lin Zhenhua into a room really made the factory leaders entangled for a long time. This newly built residential building has only three floors and three units, a total of 18 houses, and there are 70 or 80 families in the factory who have clearly proposed to apply for housing, in addition to some who do not apply because they think they are not qualified enough. The original housing of the Lin family is already above the average per capita area, because other people's two bungalows have to live for four or five people, while the Lin family only has two people.

However, Lin Zhenhua lived in the unit with all his heart, on the one hand, to let his sister Xiaofang feel modern life in advance, and on the other hand, it was also out of his own living habits. Under Lin Zhenhua's strong request, the factory council had no choice but to consider the issue of assigning a room to Lin Zhenhua, which was also to fulfill Zhu Tiejun's promise to Lin Zhenhua. Speaking from the heart, over the past year or so, Lin Zhenhua's contribution to the factory is indeed unparalleled, and if the factory does not agree to his request, it will be too unkind.

In this way, Lin Zhenhua finally made it to the housing allocation list, although he was assigned to the most marginal set of the top floor, which belonged to the worst position of the combination of western sun and top sun, but it still made many people blush for a long time. After the house distribution list came out, it is said that several workers who had not been allocated a house went to the factory director's office to make a big fuss, and one of them said that the most unacceptable one was the problem of assigning a house to Lin Zhenhua. In this regard, the factory director can only grit his teeth and never let go, insisting that it is the policy advocated by the state to reward personnel with outstanding contributions, and it is not against the principle to give Lin Zhenhua a room.

However, the workers who expressed dissatisfaction with Lin Zhenhua accounted for only a small number in the whole factory. A large number of factories with unemployed young children are admired and grateful to Lin Zhenhua, because Lin Zhenhua not only let their children get a higher income, but also changed the children's mental outlook. In the eyes of these parents, Lin Zhenhua is even more authoritative than the factory directors.

On the day of the move, the young workers of the entire labor service company came to help. Lin Zhenhua's house didn't have much furniture, and everyone had already moved their home over with one piece. Lin Zhenhua packed and sealed large items such as Apple computers and tape recorders in advance, so everyone didn't find out. In Lin Zhenhua's thoughts, it is better not to let too many people notice these things after all.

After the movers left, only the Lin brothers and sisters and Yang Xin were left at home, packing up and sorting out all kinds of things. Lin Zhenhua is a young man, and he has never been good at things like washing, so the main work of cleaning up the house is done by Lin Fanghua and Yang Xin, and Lin Zhenhua is just a hand when he needs to contribute.

Finally cleaned up, Lin Fanghua walked back and forth inside and out, how could she not see her family's new home, she asked Lin Zhenhua again and again: "Brother, is our family now considered to have achieved the four modernizations in advance?" ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "This is just the beginning. ”

"What more? You see, we even have a computer in our house. ”

Lin Zhenhua pointed to the room and calculated for Lin Fanghua the same: "Look, we have to have a refrigerator and a color TV, the weather is hot, and we need to have air conditioning...... Okay, okay, even if I'm extravagant, at the very least, I have to have a ceiling fan, right? The kitchen is also not decent, it needs to have a range hood, there are integrated cabinets. The bathroom should have a flush toilet and an electric water heater......"

Lin Fanghua said: "Come on, you stay with the Americans for a few days, and you will learn the American way of life." I see, these things you are talking about, we will not have them for 30 years. I think it's not these ...... that our family lacks the most."

"What's that?"

"What our family lacks the most is my sister-in-law." Lin Fanghua laughed, and at the same time pushed Yang Xin, who was standing beside him, in front of Lin Zhenhua.

"Xiaofang, don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" Yang Xin's face was red to the base of her neck, she struggled desperately, wanting to retreat, but was pulled by Lin Fanghua.

"Yang Xin, don't hide, let my brother make it clear today." Lin Fanghua said, she turned to Lin Zhenhua and asked in an unquestionable tone: "Brother, you tell me clearly today, when will you tell Uncle Yang about you and Yang Xin." ”

"This ......" Lin Zhenhua didn't expect his sister to suddenly come to this hand, although the brother and sister have talked about this topic more than once in the past, but this time, it seems that Lin Fanghua is a little serious.

"Say it! Don't shy away from questions! Lin Fanghua ordered.

"Xiaofang, in fact, Yang Xin and I are still young, it's not time to talk about this kind of thing, right?"

"What is small, as soon as the New Year is over, Yang Xin will be 18 years old, you will be 20 years old, and you are already the legal age of marriage. Yang Xin comes to cook for you every day, and also helps you wash your clothes and do housework, you must have an explanation today. ”

Lin Zhenhua was puzzled: "Xiaofang, what's wrong with you today?" ”

"When the college entrance examination is over, I will go to college, and when the time comes, you will be left alone at home, I don't worry." Lin Fanghua was a little gloomy, "As soon as I leave, Yang Xin runs over like this every day, what's the matter?" You don't care about fame, can Yang Xin not care too? ”

"However, this matter is indeed too urgent...... Lin Zhenhua argued, he knew that he couldn't explain this matter clearly, in his mind, 20 years old is too early to even fall in love, how can there be a reason to talk about marriage directly. However, back then, in such a small county, it was normal to get married at the age of 20, and now no one in the whole factory knows that Yang Xin sticks to him Lin Zhenhua every day, if he doesn't have a name, there will really be people who chew his tongue.

Yang Xin listened to the two brothers and sisters arguing back and forth, her face gradually turned from red to white, she pinched the corner of her clothes with her hand, lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiaohua, have you always thought that my education is too low." ”

"Huh?" Lin Zhenhua was busy doing his sister's work, and when he heard Yang Xin interject from him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yang Xin, I've never said that. ”

"You didn't say it, but I know." Yang Xin said, "You are so capable, you know technology, you know English, and you can be a leader, even Master Hu said that you are knowledgeable." But I'm only a junior high school graduate. ”

"I also have a junior high school education." Lin Zhenhua hurriedly said.

"But your ability is better than that of other college students." Yang Xin kept her head down, not daring to look up at Lin Zhenhua, she said that when she was sad, a few tears fell to the floor.

"Yang Xin, this is not a problem." Lin Zhenhua patiently explained, "I'm looking for a wife, not a graduate tutor, why should I care so much about academic qualifications?" ”

"But, I don't think I'm worthy of you." Yang Xin began to cry loudly as she spoke, "I'm desperately learning CNC machine tools, I'm still reviewing my homework, and I want to go to TV University, I just want to have a smaller gap with you." But, but, now that you're getting more and more capable, I don't think I can catch up with you......"

"Yang Xin!" Lin Zhenhua never expected that Yang Xin would have such deep thoughts hidden in his heart, and during this period of time, he was busy running his Hanhua industry, and he also ignored Yang Xin's feelings. Hearing Yang Xin's true confession, he was suddenly moved, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Yang Xin's hand tightly.

"You let go, you let go." Yang Xin's hand was suddenly grabbed by Lin Zhenhua, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, she desperately pulled her hand back, and at the same time asked Lin Zhenhua to let go with a pleading tone.

Lin Zhenhua didn't do anything, not only did not let go, but instead took out one hand to wrap around Yang Xin's shoulder, hugged her to his chest, and let her face stick tightly to his shoulder.

"Brother......" Lin Fanghua was stunned for a moment when she saw this child's inappropriate scene, and quickly turned around with a red face, laughing while eating, and shouted: "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything." ”

"Brother Xiaohua, you let go of me." Yang Xin writheled her body in vain, but there was an emotion of surprise and shyness in her heart, which made her writhing seem so powerless, not so much a refusal as a coquette.

"Yang Xin, I've decided, I'll go and propose to our dad tonight. You see, we also have a room, and when we get Xiaofang to go to college, you will be the hostess. Lin Zhenhua boldly confessed that since he had reached this scale, it would be nothing to say anything ambiguous.

"You're not ashamed, what's our dad!" Yang Xin raised his head and protested to Lin Zhenhua with disgust.

"My dad said a long time ago, I'm half of his son."

"My dad has a son."

"It's okay, I'll send Yang Tao to college another day, and it will definitely be the two of us who will go back to the second old man to send him to the end."

"Yang Tao's grades are not very good, can you guide him."

"No problem, brother-in-law, what's not to do."

"He's stupid......"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Fanghua couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted behind them: "Do you know how to be ashamed, I'm still here!" ”

With this reminder, Yang Xin was no longer embarrassed to lie on Lin Zhenhua's chest, she pushed Lin Zhenhua away vigorously, and was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word. Lin Zhenhua was thick-skinned enough, he winked at Yang Xin, and said, "By the way, I forgot that there is a minor here......
