Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Father and Daughter Meet, Exceptionally... Jealous

Upon hearing that Mr. Lin was coming, the Wen family’s sisters felt even more nervous and busy than Lin Nianhe, his own daughter.

But what they busied themselves with was different—Lin Nianhe was busy gathering food and cleaning the room, while the sisters hurriedly searched for the masks they had discarded months ago.

Undoubtedly, they were successful, because Comrade Old Lin, after stepping out with Lin Nianhe, shook his head and sighed, "Those two girls from the Wen family are too soft-natured, not like the children from our compound."

Lin Nianhe forced a laugh: "Hehehe... You haven’t seen them when they’re being themselves."

Comrade Old Lin, walking with Lin Nianhe, hadn’t gone far when they encountered Minister Huang.

Lin Nianhe sweetly greeted him: "Uncle Huang, hello, you must be tired from your journey."

Minister Huang, who watched Lin Nianhe grow up, grinned and asked with his hands behind his back: "Girl, is there food?"

"Of course! When we heard you were coming, we’ve hunted several rabbits these past few days. We’ll cook them with chili peppers, and warm up some liquor to welcome and cleanse you from your journey," Lin Nianhe replied with a smile.

Minister Huang, hailing from Sichuan Province, loved spicy food and good liquor.

It is said that during his wartime days, as long as he held a liquor flask, he could win any desperate fight.

However, his old comrades say that back then, Minister Huang’s flask only contained water.

"That’s what we need!" Minister Huang’s eyes crinkled with joy. "So comfortable."

The three of them chatted as they walked toward Li Dahe’s house. Halfway there, Li Dahe arrived, followed by Su Yuncheng and Feng Wei.

"Hello, sir!" Feng Wei’s eyes sparkled as he stood at attention and saluted.

Mr. Lin and Minister Huang quickly returned the salute: "Hello!"

Feng Wei was very excited; he never imagined he would meet the legendary figures one day.

Su Yuncheng, looking at Mr. Lin, felt somewhat nervous.

Ahem... He had thought for two days and still hadn’t decided how he should interact with Mr. Lin now.

He stuck to the old way of greeting: "Uncle Lin, Uncle Huang, you must be tired."

"Hm."

The two men, familiar with Su Yuncheng, casually responded and both reached out their hands to Li Dahe:

"Old comrade, hello."

Li Dahe, seeing the two hands extended towards him, grasped them one in each hand, his voice quivering with excitement: "Hello, leaders, hello..."

"Don’t say that, we’re all family!"

They began exchanging pleasantries in the middle of the road; Lin Nianhe rubbed her hands together, feeling a bit cold.

She thought Comrade Old Lin wouldn’t be coming today and had already changed into her pajamas. Just now, hearing Sie Yufei calling her, she had thrown on a military coat and rushed out.

Under the moonlight, Su Yuncheng immediately noticed Lin Nianhe shivering.

He took off his scarf and handed it to her, reminding, "It’s cold outside, let’s talk back inside."

"Right, right, let’s talk inside." Mr. Lin pulled Li Dahe by the hand, "Old comrade, let’s go together."

"Okay, okay, come to my house. The Educated Youth Corps place is too cramped, my place is big, and I’ve arranged rooms for you already; we can rest after eating."

"Alright!"

Lin Nianhe returned to the Educated Youth Corps site to fetch the rabbit meat and liquor, grabbed a few eggs and a piece of pork belly, and changed into a cotton jacket and trousers before heading out again.

Su Yuncheng waited for her outside, taking the items from her hands, he cleared his throat, "Uncle Lin and the others arrived quite quickly."

"Yes, indeed," Lin Nianhe tucked her hands, "Didn’t you see? There were four of them coming together, they must have taken turns driving without any breaks along the way."

"Um."

Su Yuncheng was frowning, wanting to ask Lin Nianhe’s opinion, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

Their agreement was to wait until she turned eighteen, and her birthday was just a week away. If he asked about that matter now... would she think he was being impatient?

Lin Nianhe truly hadn’t noticed what Su Yuncheng was thinking. Lately, her mind was solely occupied by setting up fair and friendly trade relations with foreign businessmen, and she had no interest in focusing on romantic affairs.

She tugged on Su Yuncheng’s sleeve: "Let’s go, or else it’ll become too late."

"Okay."

When they arrived at Li Dahe’s house, Aunt Li, along with her two daughters-in-law, were already cooking. Lin Nianhe took the things and entered the kitchen: "Aunt Li, let me do it."

Aunt Li took the items: "What are you doing here? Your father has come all this way; you should go talk to him."

"I..."

"Why be polite with me? It’s just cooking," Aunt Li said with a smile, playfully glaring at her. "What’s the matter? Afraid my cooking won’t taste good?"

"No way! Aunt Li makes the best food in the world," Lin Nianhe said with a smile.

Wang Xixi pushed her out: "Go on, Nianhe, we have me and your sister-in-law here. You won’t even be able to move around if you stay."

"Then I’ll go first, and call me if you need help."

"Alright, alright, hurry up!"

As Lin Nianhe walked towards the main room, she saw Feng Wei standing like a sentinel at the door. She asked: "Brother Feng, what are you doing?"

"Standing guard for the commander!" Feng Wei replied resoundingly.

Lin Nianhe’s lips twitched slightly as she pulled him into the house: "Enough already, what danger could there be here? Come in and drink some hot water."

Feng Wei’s face turned beet red instantly: "I... I can’t..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when Lin Nianhe dragged him into the room.

Li Dahe was already sitting on the kang with Mr. Lin and Minister Huang. Su Yuncheng and two guards were sitting on stools nearby. Seeing Lin Nianhe and Feng Wei come in together, he asked, "What’s wrong?"

"No, nothing, I... I..." Feng Wei stuttered, unable to articulate clearly.

Lin Nianhe said: "Brother Feng is afraid that the commander might be in danger, so he was standing guard outside." Saying this, she cheerfully went to Mr. Lin’s side and sat on the edge of the kang.

"What’s all this about," laughed Minister Huang, waving his hand, "Come on in and sit."

Feng Wei stood in the middle of the room, his mind buzzing, not daring to sit.

Mr. Lin laughed heartily and pointed at a stool: "Sit!"

"Yes!"

Feng Wei subconsciously stood at attention and saluted, then sat stiffly on the stool, staring straight ahead without moving.

Before Lin Nianhe had come in, Minister Huang had been inquiring Li Dahe about the Head Flowers, and just coincidentally, Aunt Li and her daughters-in-law were working on them. Li Dahe immediately showed Minister Huang several completed ones.

Mr. Lin was more interested in the stacks of matches in the corner—these were from the match factory branch his daughter had single-handedly facilitated. He was eager to hear others praise his daughter again.

When he heard Li Dahe mention this, he initially thought the leader wasn’t aware of the deal, so Li Dahe recounted from beginning to end how Lin Nianhe convinced the match factory to establish a branch in Ten Miles Team.

Minister Huang was initially only focused on the Head Flowers, but listening to this story, he couldn’t help but give Mr. Lin a thumbs up: "Binghui, your youngest daughter is quite formidable."

Comrade Old Lin was beaming with joy, his eyes nearly shut from happiness.

Mr. Lin was fortunate, for Lin Nianhe had come in just as Li Dahe finished the story, and no one pointed out his little brag about his daughter.

Lin Nianhe didn’t know what they had been discussing earlier. She didn’t join the conversation, but simply nestled close to Mr. Lin, wrapping her arm around his.

She thought to herself, if she hadn’t traveled back in time, then "she" would definitely be leaning on Comrade Old Lin like this.
