Eight hundred and fiftieth IX bad seedlings in a good place
Ai Xiuren's subsequent performance convinced Lin Chuang even more that he was not an ordinary citizen.
When eating the "Nine Turns of Large Intestine", Ai Xiuren commented: "Well, the sweet and sour taste is too much, covering up the original flavor of the large intestine..."
When eating the roast chicken, he added: "The time of soaking in the soup was too short, and the meat had no flavor..."
Lin Chuang tasted it and felt that his evaluation was very fair.
Needless to say, this guy is a pro.
Who would be an ordinary person who is so particular about "eating"?
Lin Chuang became very interested in Ai Xiuren.
He was thinking about how to find out his details in Shandong.
In Shandong, in addition to Juntong, he also has an old friend Wu Wen. But now that the Japanese army has occupied LY, Juntong probably only has secret personnel in Jinan. If he uses this power to investigate an unimportant Ai Xiuren, I am afraid that
It's inappropriate.
In addition, Wu Wen has already withdrawn to the northern Jiangsu area, which is far away from LY and is unable to cope with it.
Therefore, we can only give up on checking his details.
"Then let him be placed under your nose, so that you can observe him closely." Lin Chuang secretly made a decision.
"Mr. Ai, how old are you this year? What are your future plans?" Lin Chuang asked.
"I'll be forty-eight after the Chinese New Year. What are your plans? I don't have any plans. I'll just spend it with my daughter." Ai Xiuren replied.
"Forty-eight is not that big. We can't just sit idle. We have to do something, right?" Lin Chuang said.
"Doing work?" Ai Xiuren glanced at Ai Wanyi, but seeing that her daughter was silent, he continued: "I don't know anything, except farming, but there is no land for me to farm in Shanghai."
"Sir, why don't you let my dad go to the center with me and arrange a light job for him, working as an actor and listening to the show?" Ai Wanyi said to Lin Chuang.
Before Lin Chuang could answer, Ai Xiuren stopped: "No, no, no, actors are a lowly profession, and I won't serve them."
"Okay, this old boy deserves to be from the land of saints, and he is still so feudal. Being able to say the word 'base industry' shows that this old boy is not simple, but has some knowledge." Lin Chuang thought to himself.
"Then what are you doing?" Ai Wanyi asked.
"I am willing to farm."
"Where is the land for you to plant?"
"Aren't you in charge of the center? I don't believe it. The center is all covered with cement fields, but there is no land? Even if it is two-thirds, you can grow vegetables, melons, etc."
"I'm just the secretary. My husband is the director of the center and the head of the family. Even if I can be the head of the family, the center can't get you a piece of land, so what's the point? Oh, the gathering place for literati is full of sorghum flowers. It's no longer a joke.
?”
"Daughter, I won't help an actor anyway. Either you don't let me farm, or you can give me travel expenses and I'll go back to Shandong. Anyway, now you can survive on your own, and I don't care about you anymore."
"No, I can't go back to my hometown. Wouldn't it be courting death to go back now? Besides, I am the only relative you have, so who will provide for you in your old age?"
"..."
Ai Xiuren stopped talking.
Lin Chuang thought for a while and said: "Xiaoyi, let's see. Isn't there an open space to the west of our office? There must be two or three acres of land, right? We originally planned to build a movie theater, but now we can't build it even if we watch it for a while, so just
Let your father plant that land. He can do what he loves and be close to you, and father and daughter can also take care of each other. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
When Ai Xiuren heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at his daughter expectantly.
"Sir, there is a field of crops in the center. Isn't it outrageous?" Ai Wanyi disagreed.
"It's okay. The land is not small. Let your father plant some flowers on the outside, which will beautify the environment. Those in the center can go for a walk and enjoy flowers and so on. Plant some fruits and vegetables inside, so that they are not conspicuous.
Besides, there is no shame in growing crops. We Chinese people pay attention to cultivating and passing down family traditions. This is quite noble and I think it will work." Lin Chuangdao.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin." Ai Xiuren said his thanks first without waiting for his daughter to speak.
Ai Wanyi glanced at her father, then at Lin Chuang, and said, "Sir, I have asked you to trouble yourself for the reunion of my father and daughter."
"No need to thank you. Your father is considered an employee of the center. He receives a salary and can handle the crops, vegetables and fruits he grows by himself." Lin Chuang waved his hand.
"No, no, no, Mr. Lin, I won't receive my salary anymore. I grow my own food and the produce from the two or three acres of land is enough for me to eat and drink." Ai Xiuren said hurriedly.
"This old boy is not greedy. But how could such a loyal person raise a spy daughter? It's really strange." Lin Chuang thought to himself.
"You still need to get a salary. Farming also requires investment, right? Let's do it this way. Half of the vegetables and fruits you grow will be given to Lanyuan, and the salary will be regarded as the price." Lin Chuangdao.
"The land is yours, and all the produce on the land is yours. I don't want it. As long as I have work to do, I'll be satisfied." Ai Xiuren said.
These words made Lin Chuang have a better impression of Ai Xiuren. He said in an unquestionable tone: "That's it. Don't refuse anymore."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. Alas, your heart is really... a kind person. There is no one in this country..." Ai Xiuren said with emotion.
Ai Wanyi said nothing, glanced at Lin Chuang, lowered her head and ate her food.
Obviously, she was also moved.
"Damn, it's good to have money. You can give alms at will and gain a good reputation." Lin Chuang thought proudly.
"Mr. Lin, I have another request. I wonder if it can be done?" Ai Xiuren was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Lin Chuang.
"You said that as long as it can be done, it will be done naturally."
"Ordinarily, I shouldn't make any more demands. This is enough for me, but I can't do this without you." Ai Xiuren said in embarrassment.
"I understand, are you talking about your brother?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Yes, yes, it's a matter of cultivating virtue. Mr. Lin, you are so smart. I didn't tell you yet, but you guessed it."
"Dad! Didn't I tell you not to let you mention him?"
Ai Wanyi put down her chopsticks and looked at her father displeased.
"Daughter, although your uncle is incompetent, he is your biological uncle after all. I can't stand the thought of him still suffering in prison. I saw him a few times when I was on probation. He was so skinny and skinny, and his legs were lame.
Oh, pitiful. He has already received his retribution, so don’t hate him. If I have food and drink outside, and he suffers in prison and goes to the ground in the future, what should I tell your grandpa and grandma? Your grandpa and grandma
I hurt him the most..." As he said this, Ai Xiuren wiped away his tears.
Then he said: "Sir, I can't grow two or three acres of land by myself. Let my brother come out and help me. Don't worry, if you don't let him get a salary, let him work in vain. Please, let him come out."
.”
"Okay, Mr. Ai, you can do as you wish. There is only one thing. You must discipline him well and stop doing immoral things. Otherwise, I will kill him with my own hands!"
Hey, Lin Chuang was led by Ai Xiuren, and he also started to speak his native dialect.
