Chapter 367: The Old Things Are Revisited
"Do you have what I said back then?" Lin Daoyuan suddenly asked again.
Song Yuanchao was immediately stunned, Lin Daoyuan talked a lot to him, what did he mean by suddenly saying such a sentence without a head? For a while, Song Yuanchao was in a daze.
"Can't remember? You kid has such a bad memory at a young age? But that's right, after all, the matter between you and Yanzi has been done, and I guess I have forgotten what this old man said. ”
Seeing Lin Daoyuan looking at him with a smile, Song Yuanchao racked his brains and pondered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Song Yuanchao finally remembered.
"Dad, are you talking about the sentence you told me when you first met?"
"Hahaha, I thought you had Alzheimer's at a young age, what's wrong? Finally remembered? Lin Daoyuan laughed.
Song Yuanchao smiled and rubbed his hands and nodded repeatedly: "I remembered it, how can I forget what you always said?" It's just that I didn't react just now. ”
"You, it's not that you didn't react, it's that you don't take this seriously anymore." Lin Daoyuan unceremoniously unveiled the old bottom of the Song Yuan Dynasty.
Song Yuanchao's face turned red and he looked embarrassed.
Lin Daoyuan saw Song Yuanchao for the first time, and after the two talked, Lin Daoyuan deliberately broke away from Lin Yan and said something to Song Yuanchao.
In these words, Lin Daoyuan agreed to the free love between Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan, thus showing his open-minded attitude towards this matter, and at the same time, Lin Daoyuan also solemnly mentioned that if Song Yuanchao wants to really marry Lin Yan, in addition to the love between the two, as an old man, he will also give Song Yuanchao a test, if Song Yuanchao can pass this test, Lin Daoyuan will agree to their marriage.
At that time, Song Yuanchao didn't want to agree, and after that meeting, Song Yuanchao really became Lin Yan's object, and later solemnly visited the door openly and solemnly and determined the relationship.
With the passage of time, the relationship between Song Yuanchao and the Lin family became closer and closer, especially Chen Yuqin, who was still a little dissatisfied with Song Yuanchao at first, gradually changed her attitude in the subsequent contact, not only became enthusiastic about Song Yuanchao, but also accepted Song Yuanchao as a quasi-son-in-law from her heart.
Later, Lin Yuhang was injured in an accident on the front line, and Song Yuanchao went thousands of miles to take care of it on behalf of the Lin family, which moved Chen Yuqin even more, and Chen Yuqin really recognized Song Yuanchao from that time, when Chen Yuqin's attitude completely changed, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan's matter came naturally.
Originally, Song Yuanchao had always been worried about the condition that Lin Daoyuan had proposed to him at the beginning, which was a test for himself. But after that, he and Lin Yan came to fruition, and after the marriage between the two was decided at Chen Yuqin's suggestion, Lin Daoyuan did not mention this matter again.
Now, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan have officially become husband and wife, and Song Yuanchao has gradually forgotten the previous past, and he even feels that Lin Daoyuan may have forgotten what he said to him at the beginning, and as for what tests and whatever, there is naturally no need anymore.
But who would have thought that Lin Daoyuan would suddenly bring up the old matter again today, which made Song Yuanchao very surprised,
"Look at what you said, if I hadn't taken what you said to heart, I wouldn't have been able to remember it just now, would I? By the way, Dad, why did you bring this up all of a sudden? Could it be that you are still planning to test me? Song Yuanchao calmed down, said with a smile, and handed Lin Daoyuan, who had finished smoking a cigarette.
took the cigarette and pointed at Song Yuanchao with the unlit cigarette: "What did I say about you, you kid?" Sophistication, sleek, and this set again? ”
Song Yuanchao didn't refute with a straight smile, picked up the fire and helped Lin Daoyuan light the cigarette.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Lin Daoyuan said: "When I said the test, I did have this idea at that time, but later I still agreed to the marriage between you and Yanzi, and I didn't mention it again." ”
"Now that you and Yanzi are married, the requirements you said at the beginning seem meaningless from this point of view, but I think there should still be a test, but you can put it another way, and treat the test as a kind of grinding for you, which is good for your future growth."
Thinking about the meaning of Lin Daoyuan's words in his heart, Song Yuanchao vaguely understood Lin Daoyuan's thoughts, but he was a little uncertain.
"You're graduating next year." Lin Daoyuan said, Lin Daoyuan had already mentioned it before about the time when Song Yuanchao graduated, but this time it meant something different.
"What do you plan to do after graduation? Is it the same idea that I was told at the beginning? ”
"This should be about the same." Song Yuanchao said embarrassedly: "On the one hand, it depends on the distribution of the school, and on the other hand, it also depends on the swallow's side, what do you think?" ”
"You kid has a little conscience." Lin Daoyuan nodded, Song Yuanchao's second meaning is very clear, that is, Lin Yan's work and life are the mainstay, he will try to cooperate with Lin Yan after graduation, if Lin Yan works in Yanjing, Song Yuanchao will continue to stay in Yanjing, the two are now husband and wife, they can't live in two places after getting married, right?
"If I say you don't have to think about the swallows, what do you think of yourself?" Lin Daoyuan continued to ask.
"Dad, it's too early to mention this matter, I still have a year and a half to graduate, and no one can predict what kind of changes will take place in the next year and a half, but one thing I am sure of is that I will never be separated from Yanzi."
"So, you haven't decided yet, have you?" Lin Daoyuan asked again.
Song Yuanchao hesitated, nodded and said yes.
"In that case, then I'll help you make a choice." Lin Daoyuan said suddenly.
"...... you?"
"What? Don't want to? ”
"No, no, that's okay, it's just a bit of an accident." Song Yuanchao hurriedly shook his head and explained.
Lin Daoyuan smiled and said: "I have asked someone to inquire, although your boy's academic performance in school is not top-notch, it is not bad, and the first three years of the four years of college have basically been completed, and the fourth year is an internship except for the final defense." ”
"You are a rare talent, I don't deny this, or I won't agree to your marriage to Yanzi. But good iron also needs to be refined, and only a hundred refinings can be truly made into steel. Continuing to go to school with your abilities and ideas is just a waste of time and a waste of life. You remember, it is not necessary to be my Lin Daoyuan's son-in-law and small farmer, and the idea of wife and children hot kang is even more unacceptable, only by making achievements and holding real things in his hands is my son-in-law! ”
"So you don't have to go to school in the fourth year of Beijing Normal University, you don't have to worry about the school, I'll arrange it for you, I'll give you a test in the last year before graduation, how about fulfilling your promise to me that year?"
Lin Daoyuan's words were unexpected by Song Yuanchao, he never expected Lin Daoyuan to arrange him like this, which directly made him not mentally prepared at all.
Immediately, Song Yuanchao asked what kind of test it was, and Lin Daoyuan told him that he would choose a company for Song Yuanchao to work in, and Song Yuanchao must make satisfactory results in this company in his last year of college. If it is completed, then Song Yuanchao has passed his test, if Lin Daoyuan is not satisfied, then this test is unqualified, as for the result of disqualification, Lin Daoyuan did not say, but Song Yuanchao felt that it would not be a good thing.
As for what kind of company this is, and what kind of identity Song Yuanchao will go there for, Lin Daoyuan didn't tell Song Yuanchao, just asked him to prepare in advance and wait for his notice.
For this decision, Song Yuanchao really couldn't refuse, so he could only agree immediately.
According to custom, dinner on the day of returning home cannot be eaten at his mother's house, so in the evening, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan left, and on the way home, Song Yuanchao was still pondering what Lin Daoyuan said to him today, I am afraid that Lin Daoyuan said to him today that these things have been well thought out for a long time, and they are definitely not improvised.
In addition, Lin Daoyuan is about to go to work in the local area, and it is not known where Lin Daoyuan will work, let alone what position he will hold after he goes there. But subconsciously, Song Yuanchao felt that maybe these two things could be linked, and there was a deep meaning of Lin Daoyuan.
"What do you want? So distracted along the way? When they got home, as soon as Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan entered the courtyard, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Do you know Daddy is going to work?" Song Yuanchao came back to his senses and asked rhetorically.
"Daddy is going to work somewhere? What did he say to you? It was the first time Lin Yan heard such a thing, and she was immediately surprised.
Song Yuanchao nodded: "He mentioned it when I had tea with him in the study in the afternoon, but it is not clear how to arrange it and when to go." ”
Lin Yan complained: "My mother didn't say anything about this, could it be that she told you alone?" My dad really is, too. ”
"Maybe he thinks it's not time to say it, by the way, you can know this in your heart, but don't tell anyone. Since Dad didn't tell Mom about this, I'm afraid I have my own thoughts. ”
Lin Yan nodded, then thought about it and laughed again: "Actually, you don't know, my dad has always wanted to work in the local area, he worked in the local area at the earliest, but after a short time, he was transferred back to Yanjing, and he has been working in the ministry for so many years, and he always thinks about the past when he worked in the local area, and wants to work in the local area again, but he doesn't have this opportunity." Now it's good, if his superiors arrange for him to work in the local area, it would be good, and it would be his wish. ”
"Is there such a statement?" Song Yuanchao was surprised.
"Well, in fact, he had a chance more than ten years ago, but unfortunately it didn't work out because something happened, and then we ...... family." Lin Yan didn't continue to say this, but Song Yuanchao understood what she was going to say.
"My dad has been working in the Planning Commission all these years, but he always feels that it is better for him to sit in the office than to go to a place to do some practical work. Not only do I know about this situation, but my mother and my brother also know it in their hearts. Now that he's finally had the chance to go somewhere again, I think he's talking to you today with a smile, maybe a little bit of pride. ”
Song Yuanchao couldn't help but recall Lin Daoyuan's expression at that time, indeed as Lin Yan said, Lin Daoyuan's expression was with a hint of a smile, as for whether he was proud in his heart, he didn't know, thinking of this, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but chuckle.
