Lao Lin (novel)

For the first time, Lao Lin left work 5 minutes early. Because in half an hour, his eldest grandson's ten-year-old celebration is about to begin. Lao Lin glanced at his mobile phone, the clock was pointing at 5:25 p.m., and in another 5 minutes, it was the rush hour after work, Lao Lin wanted to stagger this point, so as to rush to the happy hotel in the city on time. Who would have thought that his old car was a new car opponent, and after a while, he was still caught up by the car that followed off. Halfway through the car, Lao Lin had to look around at the front and back of the situation, all the off-duty vehicles you chased after me, the car was next to the car, the car was car-after-car, Lao Lin's car was surrounded by water. Lao Lin said "sigh" helplessly, and only obediently crawled slowly with the butt of other people's cars.

Despite this, Lao Lin's heart had already flown to the Happiness Hotel, and it seemed that he saw the scene of guests gathering together. "Ah, the days go by, and the grandchildren are ten years old. Lao Lin is full of spring breeze, ready to accompany relatives and friends to drink a cup, even if it is worth getting drunk, especially for the in-laws who come from afar to express their heartfelt feelings. Along the way, Lao Lin played back every detail of his grandson's growth like in a movie...... Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, which forced Lao Lin back from his memories. Lao Lin is the director of the substation of the factory, thunderstorm is the natural enemy of the substation, for the sake of his profession, Lao Lin no matter how many things are on his mind, whenever he hears this sound, he has to park first, look up at the sky, and carefully observe the weather trend. "Oh no! there's a storm coming!"

Lao Lin suddenly felt numb and cold all over his body, "What should I do?" Suddenly, Lao Lin's heart was more unbearable than whipping. "How could this happen. "If Lao Lin usually encounters this situation, he will never drag the mud and water to think about this and that, and will turn the head of the car without saying a word and run to the factory. But after all, today is a special day, so why doesn't this make him in a dilemma and can't make up his mind. The grandson's birthday celebration banquet here is imminent, and once there is a violent wind and thunderstorm, the substation cannot do without him. Lao Lin has a mirror in his heart, the destructiveness of the wind and thunderstorm to the substation is conceivable, because of the lightning caused by tripping, is it less than a year? The size of the loss caused to the factory is different, if the gate is closed in time, the loss will be reduced to a minimum, if the closing is delayed because of objective reasons, then the loss will be miserable, and millions of yuan will run away ruthlessly like flowing water.

However, turning back to the front of the car, what could be more important than the celebration of his grandson? Lao Lin really began to hesitate and couldn't make up his mind. Here is the grandson's birthday once every ten years, and the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again. If they don't go back to the factory, they are on duty today, and they are a few novices, and if they trip, they are unable to deal with it, and the loss is really miserable. In a large factory with thousands of people, everyone gets on the boat and looks forward to a bowl of stable rice to eat. Lao Lin thought of this, and today his business is greater than his private affairs. Immediately, Lao Lin turned the front of the car, despite how reluctant he was. At the critical moment, Lao Lin rode towards the substation. The faster Lao Lin rides, the faster the dark clouds above his head will chase. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lao Lin urged himself.

This fast, but the old forest pit suffered, the battery hit the boulder on the side of the road, the body was crooked, and the old forest was thrown out of the ditch a few meters away. Lao Lin couldn't care about the pain in his body at this time, and thought to himself: As long as the car is not broken, it is fine. He flipped into the car, and it shot out like an arrow. "Director Lin, you're all soaked, wipe it with a towel!" Xiao Li handed the dry towel to Lao Lin and said with concern. In fact, Lao Lin took care of this, he threw aside the hair handed by Xiao Li, and said: "Xiao Li, Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, everyone, listen well, the storm is coming, and the three-level emergency plan will be activated immediately." "Thunder and lightning are like merciless wolves, unscrupulous. Every year, because of the lightning tripping, the economic losses are huge, and everyone must be ready to watch carefully. Lao Lin sat down and stared intently at the dial.

At this time, the mobile phone ringtone in his pocket rang like a machine gun, and Lao Lin glanced at it, it was his wife calling. At this time, my wife's phone called, and I knew that this kind of scene could not be distracted, but today is special, and I also want to explain to my wife my current situation, so Lao Lin pressed the answer button. "Hey, I'm busy. Lao Lin said into his mobile phone. "Old man, look what time it is. You just have a big deal, you should let it go, what day is today?" came from the phone's wife's voice.

Lao Lin didn't want to attend his grandson's 10th birthday celebration on time, but God couldn't get along with him, what could he do! Lao Lin wanted to patiently and meticulously explain to his wife the special situation today, so he could only make a long story short: "I may have to come back late tonight, Yangyang's birthday, you guys do it first." "Old man, usually you sell yourself to the factory, and I admit it, but today you have to come back on time no matter what, otherwise I won't be done with you." "My wife gave an ultimatum.

Lao Lin felt that his wife was a difficult person: "Wife, there is really no room for me today, I can't leave!" "My grandson's grandparents have come all the way, you, who are grandfathers, are close at hand, why don't you participate?" Lao Lin was choked by his wife's hand. That's right! My in-laws came from Shandong to celebrate their grandson's birthday, but they didn't participate because of the thunderstorm. In the end, Lao Lin still thought that he was responsible. The wife is still nagging and not finishing, saying Lao Lin's cool words: "The factory is busy with work, you can't do it, are you the chairman or the general manager?" "Without you, the earth would not rotate without you. "......" "Dead old man, why don't you keep silent, dumb, or deaf?" Lao Lin was choked and gritted his teeth, not wanting to talk to his wife at all.

Before his wife finished speaking, Lao Lin slapped the ground and hung up the phone. In order not to give his wife a chance to fight back, Lao Lin didn't do it, and simply turned off his mobile phone, saving him from biting his tongue with her. The thunder was getting closer and closer, denser and more terrifying, and there was an abnormal shaking of the instrument panel pointer on the power distribution cabinet. Lao Lin's two eyes were staring at him, not wandering for a moment. Suddenly, there was a loud noise over the substation of the factory, and only the pointer of the dashboard was seen hitting in one direction, and then it seemed that the substation came out with a "bang" sound, and the whole plant was dumb.

The inexperienced Xiao Li panicked! Wang San was also confused! Only Xiao Liu, according to the division of labor in the plan, rushed into the pouring rain and flew to the factory to pick up the clothes. Lao Lin made a quick decision and ran into the switch room with Xiao Li to confirm that there was no electric indication on the 531 line, and the self-investment of the 203 line had not yet been successful. The inspection results showed that the 203 incoming switchgear was not closed due to mechanical problems, and Lao Lin quickly transferred the standby switchgear and completed it in one go.

Xiao Li carefully checked the lines according to Lao Lin's requirements. According to Lao Lin's requirements, Xiao Wang guarded the control room and dialed the special line of the upper substation. "Hey, hello, I'm Xiao Wang, the attendant of the C substation, when is the 531 line estimated to call? Okay, good, okay!" He listened to the phone while making a detailed operation record. At this time, Lao Lin rushed back to the control room and picked up the phone to inform the workshops and branches: the electricity has been sent, please run the production. This power outage only costs 3 minutes, and the minimum loss is grabbed as quickly as possible. The thunderstorm has not yet passed, Lao Lin can only stick to the position of the substation, he seems to be a red-eyed warrior on the battlefield, and the more he fights, the more brave he becomes. The rain stopped, the wind passed, and the thunder was gone. The night in the small town after the rain was particularly charming, and the old forest chief breathed a sigh of relief, and when he rushed to the door of the Happy Hotel, the waiters had already begun to prepare for closing.
