Chapter 60 You Are My Brother
It wasn't until he moved everything back home that Lin Chengguo couldn't help but say something again.
"Are you getting rich?"
It is true that he is an old farmer who has not seen much of the world.
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
Those commercials that are played on TV every day are not for nothing.
"Well, I got rich."
Lin Ming was not modest, but nodded seriously and said, "Dad, you and your mother are almost sixty, so we won't work in the fields anymore, okay?"
"That's nonsense. That's a large grain field for you three brothers and sisters. How can it be left uncultivated without planting?" Lin Chengguo laughed and cursed.
This is the mentality of the old man.
Even though they know that the current food prices are not good and they may not be able to earn back the labor and capital, they would rather keep planting than let the land go to waste.
Lin Ming was not in a hurry. Anyway, he would have to stay for several days when he came back this time, so he had plenty of time.
At this time, Chen Jia had been pulled by Chi Yufen to sit on the kang.
Northerners just like this kind of earthen kang.
It's hard to say it's hard, but in autumn and winter, it's really comfortable to add more firewood to the boiler.
"Jiajia, you just came back, haven't you eaten yet? Tell mom what you want to eat and she will make it for you." Chi Yufen said happily.
"Mom, I want to eat the meat dragon roll you made..." Chen Jia covered her stomach.
In front of Chi Yufen and Lin Chengguo, she behaved like a child.
Chen Jia has never been a person who likes to get into trouble.
She knew very well that since she had chosen to come back, there was no need to keep a straight face about what happened a few years ago, and she was not willing to let Lin Chengguo and Chi Yufen worry and worry about these things.
No matter how bad Lin Ming was in the past, he had nothing to do with this old couple.
They are all good people.
"Meat dragon roll, right? OK, OK, mom is going to make noodles right now and make them for you!"
Chi Yufen's excited eyes turned red again.
When she turned around, Chen Jia saw gray hair that shouldn't be there at this age.
At that moment, Chen Jia suddenly felt that telling the old couple about the divorce really hurt them.
…
Chen Jia was sitting on the kang watching TV.
Lin Chengguo and Lin Ming were sitting next to the coffee table drinking tea.
Xuanxuan jumped here and there, chattering around the adults, so that the smiles on Lin Chengguo and Chi Yufen's faces never disappeared.
This scene right now is really warmer than ever.
A family of five enjoying themselves happily.
The Mid-Autumn Festival will not be until tomorrow, but today there is already a festive atmosphere.
Around 8:30, Chi Yufen finally steamed the fresh and hot meat dragon rolls.
Chen Jia was already very hungry.
She was not afraid of being burned. Under Chi Yufen's helpless and loving gaze, she picked up one and put it in her mouth.
While eating, he said vaguely: "The meat dragon rolls made by mom are still delicious, so fragrant!"
"Slow down, don't burn the delicate skin and tender meat." Chi Yufen scolded.
"Mom, we had dinner at 11:30 noon, and now we are starving to death." Chen Jia looked aggrieved.
Chi Yufen frowned and said, "Lin Ming didn't take you to have something to eat again? It's only been eight or nine hours. If you can hold on, Xuanxuan can't hold on either!"
"Hehe, Lin Ming said he wanted to eat something in the city first. I'm greedy for the meat dragon rolls you made. If I eat them in the city, I won't have the stomach to hold the meat dragon rolls anymore, and I won't have enough food.
It’s not as fragrant anymore.”
Chen Jia leaned against Chi Yufen. She didn't look like a daughter-in-law, but she was clearly no different from Chi Yufen's daughter.
"Stand back, my body is covered with mud, don't make your clothes dirty." Chi Yufen said with a smile.
"No, no, mom is not dirty at all."
Chen Jia's playful smile made Chi Yufen almost cry.
Where in the world can I find such a good daughter-in-law?
Why was that bastard Lin Ming willing to hit her in the first place!
Around 9 o'clock.
Chi Yufen cooked a few more dishes temporarily.
The family of five just sat on the kang and ate around the table.
From self-degradation to sudden awakening.
In the past few years, Lin Ming felt that the food cooked by his mother was so delicious for the first time.
Lin Chengguo could only eat one meat dragon roll, but Lin Ming ate two and a half, and Chen Jia also ate one and a half.
Even Xuanxuan ate half of it, and Chi Yufen was filled with joy when she saw it.
It wasn't until everyone was completely full that Lin Ming took the table down.
Chi Yufen planned to wash the dishes, but Chen Jia insisted on doing it, saying that Chi Yufen had worked all day and needed to take a good rest.
There was no other way, Chi Yufen could only coax Xuanxuan first.
Lin Ming hesitated for a while.
Then he asked: "Dad, Mom, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, won't Lin Ke and Lin Chu come back?"
"I called them, and Lin Chu said he was coming back, but the factory is closed for a late holiday, so he won't be able to get home until tomorrow afternoon."
Lin Chengguo said: "Lin Ke originally said that he would not come back, but if he knew that you and Jiajia were back, he would definitely come back. How about you give him a call?"
"Chen Jia called him and the original number was empty." Lin Ming lowered his head and said.
Lin Chengguo and Chi Yufen looked at each other.
Without saying anything else, he said: "Then I'll give him a call. He shouldn't be asleep yet. Come and talk to him."
"Okay." Lin Ming nodded.
After a while, the call was connected.
"dad."
Lin Ke's voice came from the phone, sounding a little tired.
"Lin Ke, it's me." Lin Ming said.
Lin Ke was stunned for a while, and then asked a series of questions: "Brother?! Are you back home? Are you planning to spend the holidays at home?"
Listening to Lin Ke's surprised voice, thick sourness welled up from Lin Ming's heart.
Lin Ming's lips trembled and he couldn't help but say: "Lin Ke, you are really stupid! I even lost all your wedding gift, don't you hate me at all?!"
After saying these few words, Lin Chengguo and Chi Yufen both became quiet.
Chen Jia, who was washing dishes and chopsticks, also made a move.
Lin Ke smiled heartlessly and said, "Why do I hate you? You are my brother."
You are my brother!
With these four simple words, Lin Ming felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't bear it anymore.
Tears flowed out unsatisfactorily. Lin Ming ran to the yard and beat the ground hard.
He hates it!
I hate myself for being self-defeating and selfish!
I hate myself who ignores everyone’s feelings and only indulges in drunken gambling!
If alcohol could really numb everything, then the word "pain" would have disappeared from the dictionary long ago!
After a while, Chen Jia walked out of the kitchen silently.
She looked at Lin Ming's broken and bleeding fist, and felt distressed for no reason.
"It's all over." Chen Jiada said.
Lin Ming stood up suddenly and hugged Chen Jia tightly in his arms.
Then he cried like a child.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry for you and Xuanxuan, I'm sorry for my parents, I'm sorry for Lin Ke and Lin Chu, and I'm sorry for Chen Sheng..."
"I, Lin Ming, am sorry to all of you!!!"
Chen Jia did not struggle and let Lin Ming hold her.
Once upon a time, Lin Ming was the shoulder she relied on.
