After sending Wu You and the others away, Lin Jiaguo went home to cook. Not long after, the hot meals were served. Lin Jiaguo shouted. Li Xiuzhi and the old lady who were cleaning up the room in the next room heard it.
Stop packing.
"Old lady, let's eat first. Today is the day we become a family. We must have a good meal to celebrate."
Li Xiuzhi said, and was about to help the old lady. When the old lady heard what the family said, her eyes suddenly moistened. She looked at Li Xiuzhi and held back tears. Instead, she took Li Xiuzhi's hand and said with a smile, "Then
Just celebrate."
She shouldn't cry, she should laugh, because today is really a good day.
When the two of them came to this room, the aroma of the food made their mouths salivate. Coupled with their good mood, the food felt even more delicious.
After the three of them sat down, they started to eat. The old lady also got to know Lin Jiaguo's cooking skills in the past few days. After eating a few mouthfuls, she smiled and said: "I also wanted to learn to cook before, but people said that I was a cook."
Women, you hate me for not being able to do this."
"Although I didn't officially become a master, I still learned some secretly. When I have time, grandma will let you try my skills."
The couple from the Lin family enjoyed listening to it. After getting in touch with each other in the past few days, they knew that the old lady had experienced a lot of things when she was young. It seemed that they would have to hear many stories in the future.
The old lady had a good appetite today, and Lin Jiaguo also had a big appetite. After the three of them finished eating, Li Xiuzhi chatted with the old lady about how to teach children, while Lin Jiaguo went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Unlike the family of three here who are enjoying themselves happily, Yi Zhonghai, as the elder in the courtyard, has a headache when he thinks of Wu You's overt and overt warnings to them today.
In the past, the young couple of the Lin family were no longer "sensible" enough, and they were already very annoyed. Now that there is an old lady Lin, it will be even more difficult for them to plan something against the young couple of the Lin family in the future.
Unlike the elder Yi Zhonghai, whose thoughts were filled with thoughts, the eldest mother looked envious and said: "Old Yi, this old lady is really lucky to have met the young couple from the Lin family."
As she spoke, she felt a little sad in her heart. In the past, she and her husband tested Lin Jiaguo to see if he wanted to help them take care of themselves in old age, but Lin Jiaguo refused directly.
It doesn't matter if they refuse. The key point is that now the young couple has taken the old lady over, obviously to provide for the elderly. After such a comparison, the eldest mother feels a little resentful towards the young couple.
Didn't you agree not to help others take care of themselves? Why did you bring in an old lady now?
As she thought about it, she thought of the old lady's experience. She sighed slightly and suppressed the sourness and resentment in her heart. Mrs. Lin, it's not easy.
"Lao Yi, do you think it's possible that we can ask the young couple to help you in the future?" the aunt said, with a bit of expectation in her eyes: "If we treat Old Mrs. Lin like a deaf old lady in the future,
Do you think the young couple from the Lin family will let go?"
Hearing this, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything. He thought for a while and then said: "Let's test it slowly in the future."
The aunt nodded repeatedly, and Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to operate.
Unlike the elder brother, Yi Zhonghai, and the elder couple, who have different thoughts, the Jia family, Jia Zhang and the young couple are full of resentment whenever the Lin family is mentioned.
"Tell me, what do the young couple think? They would rather raise an old lady than support our family. Hmm, they are really bad-hearted."
Mrs. Jia Zhang was chattering dissatisfied. Qin Huairu listened but said nothing. She originally wanted to ease the relationship with Lin Jiaguo's family so that she could borrow money in the future. Now that there is an old lady in her family, she just
I am afraid that I will be even less willing to help my own family in the future.
No, he had to get in touch with Old Mrs. Lin to find out who she was. Thinking of the old lady's situation, Qin Huairu had a few more thoughts in her mind.
If it can get some recognition from the old lady, it will surely open up a breakthrough for the young couple of the Lin family.
With an idea in mind, Qin Huairu decided to go to the front yard to chat with Mrs. Lin in the next few days.
Unlike Qin Huairu, who had some plans in his mind, he was eager to give it a try at the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house. Old Mrs. Lin just came to the courtyard today. Director Lin from the street and Wu You from the police station were all helping with the work. Plus, the old lady's family was full of people.
As a Zhonglie, if I can get some recognition from the old lady, does that mean...
The second uncle's bangs are a little more eager. He thinks that he will have more contact with the old lady in the future. It would be great if he can really borrow some help.
Also in the backyard, compared to the eagerness in the second uncle's bangs, the deaf old lady in the room remained silent.
"That's really nice, but why don't you want to be nice to me, an old woman?"
After murmuring, the deaf old lady sighed. People need something to think about when they get old. Although she has chosen Silhouette to take care of her in old age, she also sees Lin Jiaguo in her eyes.
Now Shazhu's marriage is still a problem, and I still have to give him a headache. But Lin Jiaguo is about to give birth to a child. Thinking about it from his perspective, if he were Mrs. Lin now, I would be happy every day.
There is a purpose in life.
As she thought about it, the deaf old lady had some more thoughts in her mind, but she quickly suppressed them.
Lin Jiaguo didn't care what people in the courtyard thought. The next day after get off work, he went to find a carpenter who helped him renovate his house last time and asked him to help build three deck chairs.
"Jiaguo, if you are in a hurry, I will take you to buy it directly. It is still an old item." The carpenter had a good impression of Lin Jiaguo. When he heard Lin Jiaguo's request, he no longer wanted to make money.
"Master Zhang, do you still have this way?" Lin Jiaguo's eyes lit up and he handed over the cigarette again. Master Zhang laughed and said: "In our line of work, there is also an inheritance, of course there is a way."
"Yes, please take me for a ride." Lin Jiaguo said with a smile, Master Zhang nodded with a smile, and the two of them went out together to a courtyard.
After going around and buying three old recliners, the Lin family was overjoyed. After sending the recliners home first, they bought some things and went to Master Zhang's house again.
Master Zhang did not refuse. Everyone was aware of this kind of worldliness. We are all skilled people. If we need him in the future, we can just come and find someone.
When Lin Jiaguo returned to the courtyard, he saw the deaf old lady already chatting with her. After saying hello, he went to "maintain" the three recliners.
Seeing him busy with his butt sticking out, the deaf old lady said: "This guy is really thoughtful. Sister, you will enjoy the blessings in the future."
Old Mrs. Lin agreed with a smile, and the two chatted for a while before the deaf old lady left. As soon as she left, Old Mrs. Lin came to the Lin family, wanting to help.
"Old lady, you pick one that is close to your eyes." Lin Jiaguo laughed out loud. The old lady grinned, looked at the three lounge chairs, and said with a smile: "You are indeed a lucky boy. They say that the golden age of antiques is in troubled times.
, the longer this thing goes, the higher its value becomes.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaguo gave the old lady a thumbs up and grinned: "Old lady, you have such a vision, I have to learn from you in the future."
The old lady laughed happily. The old man and the young man were busy when Li Xiuzhi came over and asked them to eat.
"Old lady, eat first. Later, I will take you back to your room whichever one you like."
The old lady smiled and nodded, pointed to the recliner on the right, and said, "This is the one, it suits my old lady's taste best."
The two agreed and went back to the house to have dinner. After the meal, Lin Jiaguo took the recliner that the old lady had chosen back to her room, and then moved the other recliner back to his own room.
"Xiuzhi, old lady, I have to go to the master's house. If you are tired, go to bed first without waiting for me."
The two nodded and helped Lin Jiaguo tie a recliner to the bicycle before returning to the house.
The master Wang Dafa made a fortune, and when Lin Jiaguo arrived resisting the recliner, the family was chatting around the stove.
Seeing Lin Jiaguo's arrival, Wang Jun stood up and reached out to help him lift the recliner.
"Master, aren't you bragging that you know carpentry? Come on, take a look at how you are doing on this recliner?"
When Wang Dafa heard this, he rolled his eyes slightly and said angrily: "You little bastard, why do you only remember these things? You said them all. Those were drunken remarks."
The whole family laughed, and Wang Dafa couldn't help but laugh. He came over, sat on the recliner and tried it, then lay down again and shook it.
"Master, how do you feel?" Lin Jiaguo asked with a smile. Wang Dafa grinned, obviously very satisfied.
Seeing the master enjoying himself, Lin Jiaguo ignored him and sat down by the stove.
"Jiaguo, what's going on with that old Mrs. Lin?", my sister-in-law Zhang Qin asked. She knew something more or less, especially about the murderer Lu Chuan. Many versions have been circulated now.
Lin Jiaguo first handed Wang Jun a cigarette and then started talking from beginning to end. When he finished speaking, Zhang Qin and Wang Jun both gave a thumbs up. This younger brother of theirs handled this matter thoroughly.
"For our country, once we have done something, we must continue to do it," Master Wang Da said loudly, urging Lin Jiaguo: "Let the old lady enjoy her old age in peace, she should enjoy her happiness."
"I understand, master." Lin Jiaguo nodded and spoke for a while before leaving.
"Dad, we also went to identify the door that day. It would be a pity not to recognize someone like the old lady." Zhang Qin spoke up, Wang Dafa nodded and said to his daughter-in-law: "Listen to what Jia Guo just said, just
I know that the old lady is also a clairvoyant person, and it is a blessing to have her take care of the house for the young couple."
Zhang Qin and his wife looked at each other and nodded. There is an elder in the family, so it is not easy to do things. In the past, they were worried that the Lin family and the young couple would be bullied in the courtyard. Now that there is an old lady Lin, there is no need to worry.
Although they haven't come into contact with the old lady yet, they know their little brother Lin Jiaguo, and an old lady who can make his little brother sincerely want to support him must be a good one.
…
As the days go on, Old Mrs. Lin has become familiar with the people in the courtyard. After becoming a family with the Lin family, the old Mrs. Lin's spirits are getting better and better.
In addition, during this period, Lin Jiaguo received another bottle of special nutrient solution distributed by "Brother System" in a good mood. After mixing it with ginseng wine, he asked the old lady to drink a cup every day.
After finishing the jar of wine, the old lady became healthier and more radiant. At first glance, she was not an old lady of her age.
The old lady was also very thoughtful. Although she didn't know where Lin Jiaguo got the good stuff from, and she also knew that ginseng wine wouldn't have such a good effect, she didn't ask.
Even people in the courtyard noticed that the old lady was getting better and wanted to inquire, but the old lady just smiled and dealt with it.
As people mature with age, the old lady is not an ordinary old lady. She has experienced many ups and downs, so she naturally understands the unpredictable nature of people's hearts.
The little laziness at home has become the old lady’s pet. Li Xiuzhi still goes to work every day, but only after get off work she wants to hug the little laziness. Now, when the old lady goes out for a walk, she hugs the little laziness when she goes out.
For this good thing of being hugged to sleep every day, Xiaolan decisively "betrayed" Li Xiuzhi. This is the day.
At first, Lin Jiaguo was worried that Xiaolan would cause trouble. After all, the old lady was walking around with Xiaolan, and if she really found some criminals or something, something would happen to the old lady. But after a while, he was sure that Xiaolan would
Guy, you are so lazy.
After having a special communication with Xiaolan in his own way, Lin Jiaguo was completely relieved.
On this day, the old lady hugged Xiaolan and went for a walk with Xiuzhi, whose belly was getting bigger. The weather was getting warmer and it was a good weather to go out.
Lin Jiaguo didn't accompany him. It happened to be a day off, so he and the third uncle Yan Bugui went fishing.
Since the old lady came over, Lin Jiaguo has spent more time "fishing". He doesn't want his small space to become "waste".
Lin Jiaguo originally wanted to find a more suitable reason to explain to the old lady the arrangement that could isolate the fragrance at home, but the old lady accepted it faster than Li Xiuzhi.
Out of curiosity, Lin Jiaguo asked the reason. The old lady said at that time that there is no shortage of talented people in this country. Various skills have been passed down for a long time. She has met some people with good skills before.
I have achieved something that ordinary people think is a "magic trick".
As the old lady spoke, she also took the opportunity to educate Lin Jiaguo about some legends she knew. Well, what can Lin Jiaguo say? He can only say that he has little knowledge.
Since the old lady is not surprised, Lin Jiaguo naturally doesn't need to explain too much.
Carrying the "caught" fish, Lin Jiaguo left first under the depressed eyes of the third uncle Yan Bugui. This scene was already too familiar to him, but he couldn't help but feel depressed every time.
Humming the song, Lin Jiaguo was thinking about what to cook. After the old lady became much healthier, she would cook meals from time to time and wait for Lin Jiaguo and his wife to come home from get off work.
Some ingredients provided by Lin Jiaguo and some dishes cooked by the old lady gave Lin Jiaguo some more inspiration.
When his cooking skills have reached this stage, it is no longer time to move forward quickly by practicing hard. What he needs now is an understanding of the combination of ingredients.
I rode my bike back to the courtyard. As soon as I stopped the bike, I heard Wu You's voice.
"Hey, I'm so lucky, it looks like I'm going to have a good meal today."
Wu You walked over with a smile and held something in his hand. Lin Jiaguo looked back and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, you didn't know that I was going fishing today, so you came here at this time."
Because of the old lady, the two of them are already very familiar with each other, and they can easily joke around.
Hearing this, Wu You also laughed, looked at the fish in Lin Jiaguo's hand, and said: "I haven't seen the old lady for a long time. Today you, the chef, have to cook a good meal. The two of us
Let’s have a drink.”
Lin Jiaguo nodded. The police comrades at the police station were very busy, especially the captain Wu You, who rarely had time to rest.
When the two entered the house, they didn't see the old lady and Li Xiuzhi. Wu You asked, "Did the old lady go out for a walk again?"
One of them would visit the old lady every once in a while, and Wu You also knew that the old lady now liked to walk.
"Well, isn't the weather nice today? The old lady is taking Xiuzhi for a walk."
Wu You nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that it is most suitable for you to raise the old lady. The old lady is in good health and we can feel at ease."
The two of them talked and got busy together. Before the dishes were ready, the old lady came back with Xiuzhi in her arms.
Seeing the old lady's rosy and radiant face, Wu You couldn't help but be stunned, and when he came to his senses, he said happily: "Old lady, you are so energetic, I would believe you even if you said you were only sixty years old."
The old lady smiled and put Xiaolan down first, then said: "My old lady is a blessed one. When Xiuzhi is born, I have to take my great-grandchildren with me."
As the two talked, they felt that the old lady was in really good condition now, and Wu You was also very happy.
It seems that the old lady's heartache that Mr. Xu mentioned has almost healed.
The food was put on the table and the four of them started eating. After Li Xiuzhi and the old lady were full, they went to another room to turn on the radio and listen to storytelling.
"Jiaguo, Uncle Wu, thank you for taking good care of the old lady. Let's have a drink."
Lin Jiaguo raised his glass and clinked it with Wu You. After drinking it down, he smiled and said: "Uncle, there is no need to say this again. Xiuzhi and I treat the old lady as our own grandmother."
The two were drinking and chatting when the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hey, Jia Guo, Captain Wu, you are drinking!"
Seeing the person coming, Lin Jiaguo also stood up to greet him. Although he knew that the second uncle Liu Haizhong probably came here on purpose, he couldn't chase them away.
After letting the second uncle Liu Haizhong sit down, Lin Jiaguo went to get another cup, poured him a cup, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, this cup and plate are messy, don't mind, now I can only serve you fried peanuts.
"
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen. After hearing the words, the second uncle Liu Haizhong said a few polite words. When he saw Lin Jiaguo going to the kitchen, he started chatting with Wu You. The reason he "happened" to come over today was Captain Wu.
.
Because of the old lady, Wu You also did a lot of research on the people in this courtyard. Knowing that Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in this courtyard, was an official fan, he also used polite words to deal with them.
After a while, Lin Jiaguo brought a plate of peanuts from the kitchen and handed them cigarettes, and then they sat down to drink together.
When the wine was drunk, the second uncle Liu Haizhong couldn't control his words, and the explicitness in his words made both Lin Jiaguo and Wu You twitch their mouths.
The two of them looked at each other and toasted again and again. After a while, the second uncle Liu Haizhong was drunk.
"Jiaguo, I've finished my drink today, so I'll leave first. If anything happens, just say hello to my uncle, you know."
Lin Jiaguo nodded and sent Wu You out of the courtyard first, and then came back to send the second uncle Liu Haizhong back to the backyard.
