Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Before entering Wang Lin's house, Mu Weimin looked at the whole roasted lamb at the door and frowned, asking, "Did the factory leaders give you this lamb?"

Knowing what Mu Weimin was thinking, Wang Lin countered with a question: "Do you think the factory leaders can afford to give me a lamb?"

Indeed, no matter how glamorous the factory leaders are, they seem to lose their edge during the Chinese New Year. They still can't buy meat unless they have to pay a price.

If it wasn't a gift from the factory leaders, how did Wang Lin get it?

Wang Lin knew that Mu Weimin wanted to know where the lamb came from, so he revealed to Mu Weimin: "There is a small town in a paradise where resources are very abundant. The people living in the town eat meat every day. Every household raises chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and they have long achieved the freedom to eat meat."

When Mu Weimin heard what Wang Lin said, he was somewhat incredulous and said, "Where in this world can there be such a good town? There are still many poor places where there isn't even enough food to eat, yet people can have the freedom to eat meat."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Old man, how can you deny its existence if you haven't seen it with your own eyes? I delivered a whole truckload of meat to the factory and distributed it to the factory workers. They had a delicious New Year this year."

When Mu Weimin heard about this, he was envious of the meat distribution at the Third Steel Rolling Mill, and several of his colleagues went to their superiors to ask for more meat.

The leaders here are helpless too!

The meat was purchased by the purchasing agent of the Third Steel Rolling Mill. What's the point of you going to the purchasing agent and asking yourselves for help? They can't get the meat anyway.

Mu Weimin was skeptical, but he also wanted to see what this so-called idyllic town was really like if he had the chance.

Wang Lin helped Mu Weimin to the door of the house, while Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei looked at Mu Weimin timidly.

When Mu Weimin saw his two adorable granddaughters, he beckoned to them, saying, "My dear granddaughters, come to Grandpa's here. Grandpa will give you candy." He then pulled a handful of candy from his pocket.

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei remained unmoved, their eyes both turning to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin explained, "Grandpa, I teach them not to accept candy from strangers, and to strengthen their self-protection awareness from a young age."

Mu Weimin nodded in agreement, but sighed and said, "But we are your family."

Wang Lin patted Mu Weimin on the shoulder and comforted him, "We didn't even know we had relatives from our mothers' side when we were born."

Mu Weimin nodded. He accepted this, and it was also his fault for being ruthless all these years and truly severing ties with his own daughter.

Once inside, Wang Lin helped Mu Weimin sit on the soft sofa. The old man frowned again and asked, "This sofa?"

Wang Lin made tea and poured water for the old man and others, saying, "This sofa was a gift from a friend abroad."

Mu Weimin chose to believe Wang Lin, after all, even if Wang Lin did something illegal, he couldn't buy a sofa of this quality.

After Secretary Chen and two guards brought the things in, they stood there.

Wang Lin pointed to the other two sofas and said, "Please sit wherever you like, don't be shy."

Secretary Chen nodded, rubbing his chest as he sat down on the sofa next to Mu Weimin.

The two guards stood behind Secretary Chen, ramrod straight, always ready to respond.

Wang Lin didn't insist. Instead, he took out some cigarettes from under the coffee table and gave them to the old man and Secretary Chen. As for the remaining cigarettes, Wang Lin stuffed them into the guard's pocket and said, "Go back and share them with the comrades."

The guard wanted to take it out and return it to Wang Lin, but Mu Weimin spoke up, saying to the guard, "Keep it."

During his visit, Mu Weimin discovered that his grandson was living a very comfortable life, with a standard of living that far exceeded that of most ordinary people, and even those who were wealthy were not as well off as Wang Lin.

When Secretary Chen saw that the cigarettes Wang Lin offered him were Huazi cigarettes, and even filtered ones, he immediately became very interested in Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had never received any favors from the old man before, yet he managed to do so well on his own merits, which shows that Wang Lin is no ordinary person.

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei entered timidly.

Wang Lin walked over, picked up one of the two mythical beasts in each arm, and placed them next to Mu Weimin. He then said to his two younger sisters, "He is our maternal grandfather."

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei called out cutely, "Grandpa."

"Okay." Mu Weimin happily agreed with a smile.

Wang Lin stood up and said, "Let's just have something light for lunch, we'll have a proper meal in the evening."

Mu Weimin patted his two granddaughters' heads and casually said, "They can eat anything, I don't care about these things."

Wang Lin nodded and prepared to go to the kitchen to get busy.

Secretary Chen stood up and said, "I'll help."

As for the two guards, they went out to stand guard.

After tying on his apron, Wang Lin began taking out various ingredients from the cupboard to prepare.

Wang Lin skillfully chopped a large piece of red and white meat into small cubes, and then prepared the ingredients for braised pork.

Secretary Chen noticed that Wang Lin was planning to make braised pork and reminded him, "You don't need such a big piece of meat."

Wang Lin said with a smile, "It's rare for you to come all this way. Besides, it's Chinese New Year today, so I have to treat you to a good meal."

Secretary Chen did not refuse upon hearing this; who would refuse a hearty meal of braised pork?

After waiting for an hour, Wang Lin placed a large bowl of braised pork on the coffee table, followed by a large bowl of noodles.

Looking at the white noodles, Mu Weimin said with heartache, "How much flour must have been used for this bowl of noodles? And how many families can't even afford a hot meal?"

"Grandpa, the country will become stronger in the future, and there will be so much grain that we can't eat it all and it will be stored in the national granary." Wang Lin thought the old man was good in every way, except that he was worrying too much.

"If it were really as you say, I'd be laughing in my sleep." Mu Weimin felt that given the current state of the country, achieving this would be extremely difficult, and probably impossible within a few years.

"Let's eat first." Wang Lin started to take bowls and divide the noodles.

Looking at the large bowl full of braised pork, Mu Weimin couldn't help but swallow his saliva; it smelled so good.

Wang Lin placed a large bowl of noodles in front of Mu Weimin and said, "Grandpa, add as much meat as you want. Don't be stingy, but don't overeat. There's a whole roasted lamb tonight."

Mu Weimin looked at the two maids beside him and said, "Give the two granddaughters some to eat first."

Wang Lin said with a smile, "You eat yours. The two of them ate meat buns this morning, so they're not hungry yet."

Wang Baobao raised her little hand and said, "Brother, I want to eat roast lamb tonight."

Wang Beibei also raised her hand and said, "I want to eat lamb too."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Eat, eat, eat. I'll roast lamb for you guys tonight."

Mu Weimin then began adding braised pork to the bowl, but he dared not add too much at once.

Seeing Mu Weimin like this, Wang Lin snatched the spoon, filled it with meat, and added broth, saying, "Please eat as much as you like, my grandson may not have any other skills, but he can definitely eat and drink to his heart's content."

"You little rascal." Mu Weimin could only accept his grandson's good intentions.

Chapter 153 He Yuzhu Abandons Qin Huairu and Runs Away

"Secretary Chen, here's a spoon for you."

Wang Lin, fearing that Secretary Chen would feel embarrassed, personally scooped up a generous amount of meat, almost more than the noodles.

"That's enough, that's enough, there's too much meat."

Secretary Chen's heart trembled as he looked at the towering pile of braised pork.

Wang Lin added another spoonful of meat before handing the braised noodles to Secretary Chen, adding, "If it's not enough, add more yourself. Eat as much as you want at my house, there's no limit."

"You're even more arrogant than the rich!" Secretary Chen was both amused and exasperated. Wang Lin's words sounded more like those of a landlord than a landlord himself.

“Rich people are just rich, but I’m got meat on my bones,” Wang Lin chuckled.

Secretary Chen picked up a large bowl of braised noodles and began to eat heartily. The moment the braised pork entered his mouth, it was incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy, with a slightly chewy and springy texture.

This was the best braised pork he had ever eaten in his life; the braised pork made by chefs who served at state banquets was nowhere near as good.

The noodles are chewy and have an eggy aroma; they're not sticky at all.

This was also the best noodles he had ever eaten in his life.

The two guards outside the door also had large bowls of braised noodles, with more meat than noodles.

After arranging meals for the guards, Wang Lin returned to his room and slurped up a bowl of noodles for himself.

Just now, when Qin Huairu went out, she called He Yuzhu from the deaf old lady's house out. Judging from her tearful appearance, it seemed that something terrible had happened.

Whatever happened on New Year's Eve had nothing to do with Wang Lin, who was happily eating his braised noodles.

The pork raised in my own personal space is so fragrant, much tastier than regular pork.

As Secretary Chen ate, he finished his bowl of noodles. Adults usually have a large appetite, especially people in this era who are often hungry and cold, and have little oil in their stomachs, so they get hungry quickly.

Wang Lin snatched the empty bowl from Secretary Chen and added noodles and meat to it.

Secretary Chen tried to stop it, but it was too late.

Mu Weimin knew that Secretary Chen had a tough job, so he said to Secretary Chen, "Eat as much as you want. This braised pork is much better than the one at the state banquet. I even want to have another bowl of noodles."

With those words, Secretary Chen felt relieved and ordered another bowl of noodles.

After Mu Weimin finished eating, Wang Lin and the others refilled the old man's bowl by serving him more than half a bowl.

As Mu Weimin finished eating, he said with some sadness, "This noodle dish is delicious, but it's a pity that I won't be able to eat the noodles cooked by my own daughter again."

Wang Lin really wanted to say to the old man, "You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics. It's the New Year, and you're just making things difficult for yourself and others."

"mom!"

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei immediately burst into tears and cried.

Wang Lin immediately comforted his two younger sisters, saying, "Babies, Beibei, don't cry. Mommy is watching over us from heaven as a star. After dinner tonight, we'll burn paper money for Mommy and Daddy and pray that they will bless us with good health."

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei listened to Wang Lin very well. They wiped away their tears and nodded their little heads.

Wang Lin looked at Mu Weimin.

People tend to become sentimental as they get older.

Mu Weimin was a little embarrassed. He just missed his daughter. Although he had visited her grave, he had only mentioned it casually and did not expect to make his two granddaughters cry.

Secretary Chen didn't dare to speak, after all, this was Old Master Mu's family matter.

After coaxing his sister, Wang Lin said to Mu Weimin, "Grandpa, eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll help you out. I'll prepare some fancy dishes for you tonight to impress you."

Mu Weimin nodded and said, "Then I'll have to see the main course you mentioned tonight."

Wang Lin smiled mysteriously and said, "Not only will we have hearty dishes, but we'll also have fine wine."

When it comes to alcohol, this veteran who has been on the battlefield and fought in battles is even more eager to try it.

After lunch, Wang Lin called two of the six guards the old man had brought to help, while the remaining four stood guard at the back gate and the exit leading to the front yard.

Secretary Chen was in charge of starting the fire for Wang Lin, while Wang Lin placed the marinated whole roasted lamb on the rack and had Secretary Chen slowly turn and roast it.

Mu Weimin was watching TV at home with his two granddaughters. Although it was black and white, it still attracted the attention of the two mythical beasts.
