After talking for a while, the two of them were about to leave after dinner, and the fat ones were clamoring to go to grandpa's house together.
"Dad, I want to go too. I don't know when my uncle and mother will come back. I need to see more." Lin Xiaomei hugged her aunt Ji Yinghong's legs and said with a smile.
Ji Yinghong smiled, pinched Miss Lin's face, and said with a smile: "You are such a sweet girl, my aunt will take you shopping tomorrow."
"It's fun to have fun while school hasn't started yet, but you have to study hard when school starts."
"Auntie, I know." Lin Xiaomei chuckled and said, "My little sister is the most obedient and not as naughty as my brothers."
The adults all laughed, and Li Long said to his brother-in-law and sister: "Then let a few boys go there together, and Yinghong and I will have a fun day tomorrow."
Lin Jiaguo smiled and nodded, and Li Xiuzhi also smiled and said, "I'll go there too. It's been a long time since you guys left. I, my sister, want to talk to you."
As soon as he heard that his wife Li Xiuzhi wanted to go with him, Lin Jiaguo went to get some things for her to carry over, and told Li Long: "You don't want to buy any vegetables tomorrow afternoon. I'll get some good ingredients here, no matter what.
Have a good meal.”
"Okay!" Li Long did not refuse. He knew that his brother-in-law Lin Jiakuo had a way to get good ingredients.
As for food, sometimes it’s good to satisfy your cravings with a meal.
Li Xiuzhi and the fat men carried their things, and Li Long and his wife said goodbye to the old lady and Lin Dafu before leaving together.
As soon as they left, the front yard suddenly felt a lot quieter.
At night, Lin Jiaguo was chatting with the old lady. Seeing Li Long and Ji Yinghong's heroic appearance, the old lady obviously thought of her blood relatives. Perhaps in her heart, such a scene was a kind of alternative sustenance.
"Grandma, when Big Fatty and the others get older, you can still guide them to become soldiers. I have no objection at all."
Lin Jiaguo said with a smile: "Military service is one of their obligations. If they really become professional soldiers, it will be the honor of our family."
The old lady also laughed after hearing this, feeling inexplicably relieved and said: "Let them go, if they really want to stay away from me, this old lady, one by one, I won't be able to bear it."
"Everyone has their own path, and it will be up to them to make their own choices when the time comes."
As for her great-grandchildren, the old lady can responsibly say that none of them have grown crooked so far, and she will not let these children grow crooked in the future.
For her, the growth of her children has become her obsession. She hopes that this family will get better and better in the future.
After chatting about this for a while, the old lady changed the topic and said, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and the old lady went back to the house to rest.
The next day, when I came to work at the steel rolling mill, I saw that Lin Fengtang was not watching today, and Lin Jiaguo completed his work as usual.
In the afternoon, after work, Lin Jiaguo did not return to the courtyard. Yesterday, they all agreed with Li Long and others to go there, so he simply went directly from here.
Finding a secluded area on the road, Lin Jiaguo took out some ingredients and wine from the space, and then rode his bicycle to his father-in-law's house.
After arriving at his father-in-law's house, after chatting for a few words, Lin Jiaguo went to the kitchen first. Li Hu helped in the kitchen, and everyone else gathered around the stove to chat.
While they were chatting, the fragrance wafted from the kitchen. Smelling the fragrance, everyone suddenly felt hungry.
"Sister, I have to say that you are the happiest. With my brother-in-law's skills, you probably don't even enter the kitchen at home."
Li Long said, and Li Xiuzhi laughed and joked: "Who makes people think that my skills are not good enough? After all, in the eyes of other chefs, my cooking seems to be a waste of ingredients."
Several people laughed. Wu Xiu rolled his eyes at his daughter and said with a smile: "You are a lucky person. At the beginning, I was afraid that you would not be able to get married and become an old girl."
Speaking of this, the whole family was a little sad. Li Xiuzhi's choice and Lin Jiaguo's choice really changed a lot of things.
It is said that a son-in-law is half a son, but in the hearts of Wu Xiu and Li Pengsheng, their son-in-law Lin Jiaguo is more like their eldest son. The two families have become one family and are living more and more prosperously. Isn't it just that they have helped each other along the way?
.
"Mom, I'm a mother of several children now, so why do I mention those things?" Li Xiuzhi said and laughed. Those demands she had at the time were not a burden to Lin Jiaguo.
But now everything is fine and she has survived. Meeting a good match is the greatest happiness for her in this life.
From now on, the couple will support each other and grow old together, and this life will be truly happy.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention it." Wu Xiu just sighed. She, the eldest daughter, kept a happy family, which made parents feel very comfortable.
Just because the young couple has never been embarrassed since they got married, Wu Xiu, a mother, knew that there would be no major conflicts between the young couple in the future.
After all, so many years have passed. From now on, the couple will be with each other, and they should get along as soon as possible.
The topic turned to Li Hu's future path. After all, he will probably go to the countryside after finishing high school.
Let's talk, things haven't happened yet, let's talk about it when the time comes.
When Li Hu brought out the dishes, Li Xiuzhi also got up and went to get a bowl. When the dishes were all served, the whole family sat around eating hot pot and chatting.
"Brother-in-law, you have a bright future as a chef. This meat is so fresh and tender." Li Long sighed after taking a few bites. After his brother-in-law and his sister got married, every time they came back to visit, they brought a lot of things.
, he was thinking about food at that time.
"That's all I can do, everyone has his own way." Lin Jiaguo said with a smile, pouring wine for his father-in-law and also for Li Long.
The three of them drank and chatted. Li Pengsheng said with a smile: "It's a big skill to be the best in any profession. When it comes to my family and country, your cooking skills are famous."
Li Pengsheng drank another drink as he spoke. He really wasn't flattering on this point. As far as he knew, his son-in-law Lin Jiaguo was considered by many units for his cooking skills. However, Lin Jiaguo stayed in the steel rolling mill and did not move, so there was no way to dig him out.
Just people.
"Dad, I feel a lot of pressure when you say this." Lin Jiaguo joked and said with a smile: "I was stared at by some people. When Hu Kui and Xu Dahu started fighting, they made a lot of troubles."
Upon hearing this, several people laughed. Ji Yinghong also heard about this from Li Long, so she laughed and said: "Brother-in-law, there is also filth in your industry?"
"There is no such industry." Lin Jiaguo shook his head slightly and sighed: "Just one sentence, reputation is tiring."
"I'm still good. My master didn't cause any grudges at the beginning, otherwise I might be involved again."
Several people smiled when they heard this, and Li Long said: "I heard that brother-in-law, you suppressed some people several times and made them helpless."
Lin Jiaguo laughed, nodded and said: "There must be some who are not convinced, and those who really want to learn from each other sincerely, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. We can gain something from each other's exchanges."
"But some people just have impure intentions, and I have no intention of holding back on those people."
"I think that's how it should be." Li Long nodded and said with a smile: "Just like the old man Chairman said, hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. The principle is the same."
Everyone laughed, and Lin Jiaguo said: "I think so too, so sometimes it's a heavy blow. Anyway, I'm not afraid. There's nothing they can do to me."
Li Long also laughed when he heard this. He knew that his brother-in-law was quite versatile in cooking, and he was not afraid of any cuisine.
While eating and chatting, when the little ones were full, Li Xiuzhi and the others took them out for a walk. In the room, the three of them, Lin Jiaguo, continued to drink and chat.
In the evening, Lin Jiaguo rode home a little drunk. Li Xiuzhi and the others were not leaving. Tomorrow they had to say goodbye to Li Long and his wife.
After a leisurely ride back to the courtyard, Lin Jiaguo entered the courtyard, parked his car, and was about to enter the house when he heard someone calling him and looked back.
It was getting dark and he didn't see who it was, so he responded.
When he got closer, with the light of the visitor's flashlight, Lin Jiaguo could see clearly that the visitor was Xu Damao.
"Brother Xu, you scared me." Lin Jiaguo joked, wondering why Xu Damao was looking for him. Since he married Tao Xiaoju, his thoughts have been on Tao Xiaoju's pregnant belly.
In addition, there was some estrangement between the two because of the "miracle doctor" thing last time. Xu Damao didn't look for him, and he didn't want to get involved.
"You didn't do anything bad." Xu Damao smiled. He was not embarrassed at all. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Jiaguo. Lin Jiaguo asked him to go home and sit down. It was too cold outside and it would be warmer and more comfortable at home.
After entering the house and closing the door, the two sat by the fire and chatted for a while. Only then did Xu Damao explain his purpose of coming. He wanted to ask Lin Jiaguo to get him some ingredients.
"Xiao Ju's belly is getting more and more pregnant. I want to make the child in my belly more nutritious. When the child is born, he will be strong and smart." Xu Damao said happily. Lin Jiaguo did not refuse, but still reminded: "Brother Xu,
Pregnant women need nutrition, of course, but they can’t eat and drink too much.”
Lin Jiaguo said, took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Pregnant women are really too fat, which is not conducive to childbirth. You should go to the hospital and ask the doctor about this."
"I've already asked, don't worry, I know what I know." Xu Damao nodded to express his understanding. He had been "obsessed" about children in recent years. Now that Tao Xiaoju was pregnant, he asked all kinds of questions.
As for the matter, I was afraid that something might happen to the child in my belly.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on." Lin Jiaguo was also afraid that this guy would go crazy because of the child and make Tao Xiaoju into a big fat man. Giving birth to a child would be a big problem.
When a woman gives birth to a child, it is like crossing the bridge of life and death. If she is not careful, problems will arise, but it would be bad if he doesn't get disgraced as well.
Even if he and Xu Damao were not close, they did not want to have a life-or-death issue.
After talking about this matter and chatting for a while, Xu Damao didn't know what he thought of, maybe because Lin Jiaguo reminded him just now, and said: "Jiaguo, I heard that you and Uncle Lin lent money to the youngest Qian, listen.
I would like to advise you not to lend money to that guy in the future, otherwise you may be like a meat bun beating a dog, and you will never come back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaguo felt that there was something in it, so he asked: "Brother Xu, is there anything in it?"
"Haha, there are many explanations, but you don't need to know, just listen to my brother, you won't suffer." Xu Damao would not tell the truth, but he knew that Qian Lao Mao was confused by Jia Hong's designs one after another.
How miserable it was, and he, Xu Damao, was an accomplice.
As far as he knew, the youngest Qian was now very poor and had lost all his money.
The reason why I reminded Lin Jiaguo was just a whim.
"Okay, listen to Brother Xu." Lin Jiaguo didn't ask any more questions. Since Xu Damao said this, there is a reason behind it. Obviously, there is something going on.
Lin Jiaguo didn't want to get involved, as the youngest Qian was not worthy of close friendship.
After saying a few more words, Xu Damao stood up to say goodbye and left. As soon as he left the house, Lin Dafu walked in. The two chatted for a few words, and Xu Damao left for the backyard.
Lin Dafu closed the door, walked over and sat down and said, "Why is Xu Damao looking for you?"
Lin Jiaguo talked about the ingredients, and Lin Dafu nodded slightly. When it came to the child, Xu Damao was settled, and he smiled and said: "It seems that this kid is also somewhat blessed. Otherwise, after all these years of hard work, he wouldn't be able to bear it."
Finally he met a capable person and he had a fruitful result."
Lin Jiaguo nodded, took out a cigarette and gave it to his father. After they both lit it, he said what Xu Damao reminded him just now.
"It seems that there is an inside story to this matter." Lin Dafu clicked his tongue and then said: "Well, if you really can't get around the situation of looking up and not seeing each other, just lend me four or five yuan, and I'll be able to borrow it when the time comes.
That’s it.”
With that said, Lin Dafu said again: "Aunt Tong also reminded me of this matter when I mentioned it. She said that Qin Huairu also mentioned this matter when chatting with her. The meaning behind her words was the same, that is, money.
If the youngest really wants to borrow money, it's best if she, Qin Huairu, knows about it."
When he heard this, Lin Jiaguo had a strange feeling and said: "Dad, I feel that there are many twists and turns in the series of events involving Young Master Qian."
"I feel the same way." Lin Dafu nodded, and then he changed the subject and said: "Forget it, this is a family matter, let's not get involved."
"If things really come to a head and you can't hide your face, just adapt to circumstances."
After taking a puff of the cigarette, Lin Dafu shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't arrange it for Young Master Qian. With his temperament, it just happened to be the right time, otherwise he would just be a fool."
"I just met him in the evening. He was so drunk that he couldn't walk. It was the third uncle Yan Bugui and I who met him and helped him back together."
Lin Jiaguo was speechless and said in confusion: "Didn't he say he was sick? He doesn't look like a patient."
"So I said there are a lot of things involved." Lin Dafu shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. When the time comes, you can just pass it on to me. Anyway, you have a big family to support here.
If you can’t borrow money, no one can say anything.”
"As for me, there are plenty of ways to deal with it."
The father and son chatted for a while, and then Lin Dafu got up and left, going back to the house.
Lin Jiaguo heated up the water, washed himself, and went to bed.
The next day, after bidding farewell to Li Long and his wife, Li Xiuzhi came back with the children. When Lin Jiaguo came back from get off work and saw the lively scene of the family, he felt much better.
The days are passing by, and although it is already some time after the New Year, the weather in the north is still cold.
On this day, Lin Jiaguo had just returned from the alley next door. When he entered the courtyard, he saw people in the front yard. He immediately knew that it was something trivial again.
After carrying the tools into the house, Lin Jiaguo walked out. Seeing Nan Yi smoking leisurely aside, he walked over.
"Are you done?" Nan Yi handed Lin Jiaguo a cigarette and asked. Lin Jiaguo nodded and said with a smile: "We are all acquaintances in the alley next door. There are many people helping me, so I feel a lot more relaxed."
Nan Yi smiled and nodded. They are familiar with each other. Naturally, they will not watch the chef busy alone and exchange favors. When they are invited to work as chefs, they will not receive red envelopes, that is, tobacco and alcohol.
That's all.
"What's going on today? Wouldn't it be nice to have a good rest on this day off?" Lin Jiaguo asked. Nan Yi shook his head and laughed and said: "Today's things are not small, I guess there is still something to talk about."
"What do you mean?" Lin Jiaguo became curious, and Nan Yi did not make any mystery, so he said directly: "First, the youngest Qian came back drunk and found nothing to eat, and then he saw Xiaodang and others in Jia Zhang's house.
If you turn on a small stove, it will become noisy."
"What's all this fuss about? Isn't Jia Zhang living a single life? This is what Young Master Qian ordered at the beginning." Lin Jiaguo asked, Nan Yi shook his head and said: "That's not the key."
"When it comes down to it, I don't think it's a big deal. When it comes down to it, it's like the family is squeezing out Qian, the youngest."
"Just now, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai went to try to persuade him, but the youngest Qian almost started a fight with him."
While the two were talking, they heard Jia Zhang's cursing voice. They looked at each other and walked over to see what was going on.
In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was scolding the youngest Qian for having no conscience and not wanting to eat anything that would please her. In this scene, everyone seemed to have seen the time when Mrs. Jia Zhang "intimidated" the entire courtyard.
The drunken youngest Qian was not used to Jia Zhang's family at this time. While cursing, Qin Huairu was also involved.
Everyone felt speechless as they listened to the two people scolding each other. How could a transparent person feel that there was something intentional about this incident?
But even if I think it in my heart, I haven't said it out loud. If I do, it won't end.
Seeing the two people yelling at each other, those who couldn't persuade them simply stopped and just watched quietly.
Qin Huairu was crying pitifully as always, while the elder Yi Zhonghai sat aside, as if he didn't see anything.
"Daughter-in-law, why do I think there is something wrong with this?" Silly Zhu, who was watching the battle, softly asked his daughter-in-law Qin Lian next to him. Qin Lian saw that her child was being dragged to the backyard to play by a fat couple, so she
Sighing slightly, "Don't you think that since the youngest Qian stopped going to work, some things have gradually become different?"
The changes in Qin Huairu's family during this period were visible to those who were interested, but Qin Lian lived in the middle courtyard. Although she didn't pay much attention to it, she lived in the middle courtyard together, and her sensitivity made her aware of it.
changes therein.
"Do you have anything to say?" Although Sha Zhu felt a little strange, he really didn't pay much attention to it. Qin Lian took a deep look at Qin Huairu who was wiping her tears, and then looked at Qin Huairu who was sitting motionless on the side, as if she hadn't.
Is there any connection between Wen's eldest brother Yi Zhonghai?
