Chapter 13-Having an Elder in the Family Is Like Having a Treasure
Not long after, Lin Yi and the old man returned home. It was nice to see Zhang Xuemin and Wu Yongnian resting on the chairs.
Seeing that the old man had returned, he quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Hello, Grandpa Lin!"
"Good, good, good. I haven't seen you two in a long time. The last time you came to my place was when you just started high school.”The old man laughed heartily.
The old man sized up Wu Yongnian again. Looking at Wu Yongnian's muscular figure, he praised,"Yongnian, you're getting stronger and stronger. You really don't want to consider what I said before. I'll send you to the army. With your physique and skills, you might even be able to compete for the title of Soldier King.”
Wu Yongnian heard the old man's praise and scratched his head in embarrassment."Grandpa Lin, you're exaggerating. Also, let's forget about being a soldier. After all, my younger brother and sister are still young, and my father's health is still not good. I have to stay at home to take care of them.”
"Sigh, what a pity."
"Alright, stop talking. It's almost noon. Let's cook first.”
"Alright, let's eat first. Today, I'll let you taste if my cooking has deteriorated.”
...
This lunch was very sumptuous. In addition to the few dishes mentioned earlier, the old man also stewed a half-pulled lamb leg that someone gave him. Lin Yi and the other two ate until their stomachs were round and there were oil marks on their mouths.
Lin Yi carried his bag and went straight to the old man's room during the lunch break." Grandpa, let me tell you something."”
Immediately after, Lin Yi told the old man everything that had happened and his idea of contracting the walnut forest.
"Sure, no problem. If you want to contract it, then contract it. Anyway, that forest is useless. Recently, someone even suggested cutting down the walnut trees to see if they can plant some cash crops like apples.”The old man casually agreed.
"Aren't you surprised at all? Don't you have any intention of stopping me?”Lin Yi could not help but ask in surprise.
Although he knew that his grandfather would support him in the end, he estimated that it would take a lot of effort to convince his grandfather.
After all, there were no successful cases of contracting such a large area of walnut trees. Even an adult would have to think carefully for a long time.
No matter how much a grandfather doted on his grandson, he would not allow his teenage grandson to fool around and waste his money.
For this reason, Lin Yi had specially brought the money over to increase his persuasiveness at the critical moment.
But now, he had never expected that his grandfather would actually agree to it.
It was as if he had gathered all the strength in his body, but in the end, his punch missed! This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
"Who are you? You are my grandson! Your grandfather, I, fought the rebels and the Japanese when I was a teenager. Later, I even beat the American devils into hiding and not daring to take a step across the 38th parallel. So what if you earn tens of thousands of yuan? When I was the richest, I seized dozens of small yellow croakers from a rich Japanese businessman.”The old man said proudly.
In the next moment, the old man's expression suddenly changed. He said in a serious manner,"You're my grandson, so naturally, you should be very outstanding!”
"Don't be like your father! It doesn't look like my old man's."
Lin Yi really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. If his father wasn't his grandfather's child, how could he look like his grandfather?
However, at this moment, Lin Yi really felt a trace of emotion in his heart. Although he did not let down his grandfather's expectations in his previous life, he was not only the first in the village to be admitted to a university, but also the first to be admitted to a key university.
But it was true. He had never heard his grandfather say such words. Even until his grandfather died, he had never heard it before. He did not know that his grandfather had ever thought so highly of him.
Perhaps it was because his achievements in his previous life were not high, his grandfather was unwilling to put so much pressure on him.
As for why his father wasn't like the old man, it was needless to say. Lin Jianguo was a man of literature and was always sad. Once he got into the eyes of literature, he wouldn't be able to get out. It would be fine if that was the case, but what Grandpa couldn't stand the most was that his personality was too weak. He should have been the head of the family, but he couldn't hold up.
"By the way, Grandpa, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with. My parents don't know what I've done yet, and I don't dare to tell them. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep the money.”
"It's a small matter. I'll call your parents later in the afternoon.”
Lin Yi was relieved when he heard his grandfather's words. After all, his parents were most afraid of the old man. As long as the old man took action, he would definitely be able to suppress them. It was not that Lin Yi did not want to respect his parents after earning money, but if Lin Jianguo and Liu Xiuying knew that he had earned so much money, they would definitely think of ways to spend it quickly. After all, his 200 yuan only supported them for less than a week.
However, he really needed this money as a start-up capital now. After selling the walnuts, Lin Yi would definitely be filial to his parents.
Sure enough, after Grandpa Shen called his parents in the afternoon, his parents didn't say anything. They were just a little unhappy. After all, their son was still guarding against them even though he had money. No one would be happy about this.
At that time, Lin Yi heard his mother's disappointment and immediately told his mother that there were more than 700 coins under his desk. He asked them to spend them to improve their living standards. After hearing this, his mother was not angry at all. She even said that she would go to eat western food with the boss. She did not care about Lin Yi's matter anymore. She also said that Lin Yi would stay at her grandfather's house for the next few days and did not have to rush back.
When Lin Yi heard this, he was immediately speechless. As expected, he was the extra one, right?
Today, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to settle the Walnut Forest matter. Instead, he stayed at the old man's house with Zhang Xuemin and Wu Yongnian. He was prepared to go to the village committee with the old man tomorrow to discuss the contract.
