"Oh, Wanwan, why does the person dragging and saluting at the door look like your uncle Zhan Tiantian? Isn't he in the United States? Is he back again?"
After cleaning the second floor and the attic, the little grandma who was shining the shoe cabinet in the living room on the first floor suddenly shouted.
Lin Wanwan got up from the sofa, came to the door and looked outside. Sure enough, her uncle's family of four were dragging several huge suitcases over here.
Lin Wanwan's face suddenly darkened. What was this family doing? Did they plan to live here with so many salutes?
Before she could speak, Lin Zhantian had already seen the little grandma through the open door, and immediately greeted her warmly: "Hey, grandma, you are here today, are you cleaning Wanwan? Thank you for your hard work."
"
Then she said to Lin Wanwan in a slightly reproachful tone: "Wanwan, why did you let the little grandma do hygiene for you? How can this be done? Girls can't be so lazy."
Lin Wanwan didn't answer, but the little grandma had already rushed to say: "Where is it? Look at the clothes I'm wearing. I'm working in the property management department now. Wanwan invited the property management hourly worker to come over and clean it. It's a coincidence. I happen to be at work today.
.”
While they were talking, Lin Zhantian and others had already carried their boxes up the steps and were about to go in: "Oh, so that's what happened. Auntie, you demolished so many houses and collected rent to make enough food. What else do you do to clean?"
Work is so tiring."
"No matter how tired you are, how can you be tired of farming with your face facing the loess and your back turned to the sky?" The little grandma said with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Aren't you in the United States? The whole family is back? In the future.
Are you still going out?"
Lin Zhantian replied: "Ah, yes, they are all back. The epidemic outside is too severe now, but it is still safe at home. Let's go back to China for a while and wait until the epidemic gets better. Wanwan, you didn't go to work today, your aunt bought it
Let her cook some food at noon. After grandpa left, you haven’t had any food at home for a long time."
Lin Wanwan took a step back and let their family come in first.
There is a little grandma at home who loves to gossip, and Lin Wanwan is not willing to quarrel with her uncle's family at home. No matter what is right or wrong, what outsiders like is nothing more than chewing the tongue and watching a joke, and she will always be the one to lose.
Grandpa and grandma’s faces.
She didn't want her grandparents to be embarrassed because of the gossip about the quarrel between the descendants. Her grandparents had always been people who kept family scandals under wraps. Even though they were very unhappy that her uncle was not returning to China, when speaking to the outside world, they always said that her son came to video chat every day.
, to take them to the United States and so on.
Although she didn't want to fall out, Lin Wanwan was too lazy to deal with this family and didn't even want to say hello.
So she silently returned to the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV, randomly selected a channel, turned up the volume and stared at the TV screen.
If there is sound in the living room, the atmosphere will not be too awkward.
Xie Yuanying had already entered the kitchen with a plastic bag containing vegetables, while Lin Zhantian was still standing at the door chatting with his grandma. Their son and daughter changed into disposable hotel slippers at the door and were standing in the middle of the living room looking around.
His younger brother Lin Qixing looked around and complained: "It looks like that from the outside, but the decoration inside is so old-fashioned."
Lin Wanwan's beautiful eyes flashed coldly, and she glanced at him without saying a word.
Lin Qixing stopped talking when he saw Lin Wanwan's expression. He put his suitcase in the middle of the living room, walked to the single sofa facing the window and sat down. He looked at the TV and asked, "What kind of TV is that on?"
Lin Wanwan said coldly: "Old-fashioned TV."
Lin Qixing felt a little resentful, snorted coldly, and stopped talking to Lin Wanwan. In fact, he was quite happy to see this cousin he had never met before for the first time. After all, who doesn't like a good-looking person?
But then Lin Wanwan turned out to be cold and repulsive, and he became a little unhappy. His parents were also the elders of the other party after all, so what kind of attitude was this? After all, people without parents have no tutoring.
My elder sister, Lin Mengyun, was still studying at the Conservatory of Music, but due to a huge change in her family, she had to drop out of school. She was in a bad mood all the way. But because she had lived in a patriarchal family since she was a child, she was better at observing words and emotions, and she soon discovered Lin Wanwan’s
His face looked stinky.
This is, don’t you welcome your family?
She had heard about the fact that her parents returned to China last year to dispose of her grandparents' belongings and sell the house to her cousin.
In fact, she could also understand Lin Wanwan's displeasure. After all, one can imagine the attitude of her parents when they sold the house last year. The other party must not have gotten anything good.
Her parents didn't even care much about her as a daughter, let alone a niece they hadn't seen each other for several years.
Her parents don't understand at all that spoiling a child is like killing a child. Their family has lost all their money just to keep her reckless and willful brother from going to jail. It sounds like they are coming back to China because of the epidemic, but in fact they are not.
Because I can no longer stay in the United States.
With his younger brother's level, there is no way he can get into a university in the United States. That is, he has to rely on his identity as a Chinese American to come to China and find a third-rate university as an international student.
Hey, she didn't want to come back with her, but she had no choice. Now she doesn't have the confidence to leave the family.
Although it is impossible to get into a music conservatory in the United States, with her identity as a Chinese American and her relatively good grades in school, it should be possible to find a music conservatory in China.
It just so happened that she was learning the relatively unpopular harp. Although it couldn't be said to be a shortcut, it was still an easy stepping stone to get into the art school.
She sighed secretly, took out a box from her backpack, walked to Lin Wanwan's side with a smile, sat down next to the sofa, handed the box to Lin Wanwan and said: "Hello, cousin, my name is Lin Mengru.
I am twenty-three years old this year. I was born in May. My father said that you were born in November, right? I am a few months older than you, so please accept this little greeting gift."
Lin Wanwan turned her head and glanced at her, and said calmly: "Thank you, the meeting ceremony is not necessary. I didn't know you were coming suddenly, and I didn't prepare anything."
Lin Mengyun's smile faltered. The implication was that they were all uninvited guests. The words "unwelcome" were clearly engraved on his face.
But she could only do it. She put the box on the coffee table with a smile, looked at Lin Wanwan's side face for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ah, cousin, you look familiar, you, you, you... you are
That kung fu girl who performed on stage with Junning, right?"
Lin Wanwan didn't expect that even her cousin in the United States had heard of her. After all, she was only popular on the Chinese Internet for a while. Because she refused to be interviewed, and she never played in Moments, scarfs, and small pink books.
It went down very quickly.
She nodded and said a faint "hmm".
Lin Mengyun said excitedly: "I didn't expect you, cousin, to be an Internet celebrity. Oh, I'm so envious that you can share the stage with Junning. Can you tell me about Junning, I like him so much."
Lin Wanwan didn't expect that he was actually a groupie, so she replied: "We only worked together once. He is top-notch, very cold, and unfamiliar."
"Aren't you alumni? Junning even turned your scarf and called you senior sister." Finally, there was something to talk about, and Lin Mengyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
