In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?

On the seventh day of my vacation, Grandpa Lin came.

Wang Xingguo, who was holding and playing with his daughter, quickly greeted him. Grandpa Lin nodded calmly, then smiled and took Wang Chengan and Wang Jianhua's hands, wanting to take them to buy some delicious food.

Wang Xingguo chuckled a few times, thinking, "This grandparental affection is really serious..."

Looking at the two children being taken away by Grandpa Lin, Li Xiuping smiled and said to Wang Xingguo, "Honey, I've noticed, why does Grandpa always have such a stern face towards you?"

Wang Xingguo knew exactly what was going on; it was just that he'd been cleaning up after him too many messes, so it was no wonder he wasn't going to give him a friendly look.

He only keeps a stern face to himself, not to others. But it's not a big deal. Commander Wang hasn't caused any trouble in a long time, so keeping a stern face isn't a big deal.

None of them are as troublesome as Li Enze, who immediately berates you upon meeting you; that's already giving him a lot of face.

Wang Xingguo replied with a smile, "Honey, it's normal for him to be a bit stricter with me. As long as he doesn't have a stern face towards you, it's fine."

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Grandpa is very good to the child, but he must be quite busy lately. He's only come to see the child once every ten days or so. He used to come once a week."

Wang Xingguo knew what was going on; a large number of people were entering the site, and Grandpa Lin was indeed quite busy with work.

Grandpa Li has also been very busy. It is said that he hasn't been back here for a month and has been staying in his dormitory at work.

Mobilizing so many organized troops is no easy task. Coordinating transportation and logistical support in various locations requires a lot of work.

Otherwise, Wang Xingguo wouldn't need to work non-stop. You know, their work is really tiring. If there were enough manpower, they wouldn't be made to work so hard.

As the couple chatted, Shen's mother came over and, not seeing the two children, asked, "Xingguo, Xiuping, where did Cheng'an and his brother go?"

Li Xiuping explained, "Don't worry, Auntie, Grandpa Lin took them out to play."

Hearing this, Shen's mother was relieved and said happily, "In that case, I'll go to the market and see if there's anything good there."

"Alright, ma'am, you can go ahead."

Wang Xingguo was playing with his daughter when he suddenly realized what was happening.

He chuckled sheepishly and said, "Honey, do you think Grandpa Lin's stern face towards me is because I'm holding our daughter, so he can't hold her?"

Li Xiuping paused for a moment, remembering how much Grandpa Lin loved holding her daughter. She replied somewhat uncertainly, "It's hard to say. I hadn't even thought about it until you mentioned it. Besides taking my sons out to play, Grandpa loves holding our daughter. Thinking back now, he was quite biased; he certainly didn't hold Chengbin very often."

Wang Xingguo sighed, "That's probably it. I guess he was too embarrassed to take my daughter from me because I was holding her, so he gave me the cold shoulder. I mean, he's never been this stern before, and I haven't caused any trouble lately, so this shouldn't be happening..."

Half a day later, they returned.

Wang Xingguo quickly put his daughter in the basket...

Sure enough, as soon as Grandpa Lin returned, he hugged Wang Niannian and started teasing the little girl with a smile.

Wang Xingguo and Li Xiuping looked at each other, realizing this was the truth.

Grandpa Lin bought a lot of southern fruits with the two little ones. The two little ones were eating bananas, and they were quite filial, even offering them a bite. They weren't very possessive of their food.

They ate lunch together, and Grandpa Lin asked, "Xingguo, what are your thoughts on your future work?"

Wang Xingguo was stunned for a moment. What could he possibly be thinking?

He then thought of Director Ma and cautiously asked, "Grandpa Lin, you wouldn't also want me to take over Director Ma's job, would you?"

Grandpa Lin shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Ma is doing a great job. Although he keeps applying to go back to the army, we can't let him go now that we need manpower. I mean, do you want to continue doing this transportation work, or go directly to work over there?"

Wang Xingguo quickly said, "Grandpa Lin, I'd rather continue with this job. If I go to work over there, the whole family will have to move, and Jianhua won't be able to see his brother and uncle anymore. Besides, the climate there isn't good. It's okay for us adults, but Niannian is still too young. It's really not suitable for her."

Grandpa Lin nodded, thought for a moment, and then explained, "The comrades over there submitted an application to transfer you to work there. Since you've chosen to continue with your current job, I won't approve the application."

Who's trying to sabotage themselves?

Wang Xingguo quickly asked, "Grandpa Lin, may I ask who submitted the application?"

"Quite a few people approved that application, so I won't go into details to avoid you causing me trouble. They want to transfer you there for your future. I also have my own selfish motives; arranging for you there will indeed give you a better future. But if your whole family moves there, it will become very difficult for me to see my children, which is why I asked you what you think."

Li Xiuping couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Lin, I think Xingguo is right. Although we don't know where we're going, the child is still young, so I think it's better not to move."

Grandpa Lin nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it that way then."

After lunch, Grandpa Lin was about to leave. The two little ones were very reluctant to part with him, waving until the car disappeared before they were willing to go back inside.

Children are all drawn to whoever feeds them, and this great-grandfather always takes them out to play and buys them delicious food whenever he comes over. No wonder they're so fond of him.

Wang Xingguo wondered who exactly wanted to send him to work at the base.

Is it Li Enze?

Or is it Zhang Jirong?

But it seems like the General and Chief of Staff Song could also be possibilities...

Wang Xingguo was racking his brains but couldn't come up with a solution.

Seeing Wang Xingguo frown, Li Xiuping asked with concern, "Honey, what's troubling you?"

Wang Xingguo replied, "I'm wondering who wants to get me a job over there. I can't tell you about this, so don't worry."

Li Xiuping laughed and said, "What's there to worry about? Grandpa already said that if you don't want to go, you don't have to go. Actually, I think Grandpa is the one who least wants you to work in another city. If we move to another city, how will he visit our daughter?"

Our daughter is truly blessed. Not only is her dad a doting father, but even her great-great-grandfather adores her. I, as her mother, am even a little jealous. After all, her dad hugs her more often than he hugs me.

Wang Xingguo laughed and said, "Nonsense, I hug you every night when I sleep. How could I have the strength to hug a grown man like you all day?"

Just like my wife said, no matter who did the good deed, with Grandpa Lin watching over things, there's really no need to worry about it.

After figuring it out, Wang Xingguo hugged his daughter and started playing with her.
