Wu Xiuzhen felt that it was because Yucai was not at home and Lao Lin was missing a son. Otherwise, why would he care so little about his little son-in-law?
After sitting at the dinner table, Lin Shuangchao told Fourth Master about Ma Juntian, "Guess who transferred him to our province."
Such a large cross-regional transfer, even if it involves exchanges between the north and the south, is very laborious. The fourth master said, "It must be the old man from the Ma family."
Lao Lin laughed and felt a little sad: "Yes! It was Ma Juntian's father who stuffed it here. The implication is that it was brought to you. Lao Xie, if you want to kill or cut into pieces, please feel free to do whatever you want."
Tongtong praised, "This is a good decision."
Lao Lin nodded, "Yes! People have done this for the sake of it. Could it be that Lao Xie really went to make things difficult for his children? Besides, the couple's problems are private matters. No matter how good the friendship between the elders is, the children can't live together.
Whose fault could this be? So, Lao Xie fought for his ex-son-in-law, hoping to entrust him with important responsibilities. If he were still a son-in-law, Lao Xie would avoid suspicion. But he was no longer a son-in-law, and it was an old comrade who came to him.
He asked Lao Xie to clean it up. Could it be that Lao Xie really knew how to clean it up? He had to take better care of him so that he could live up to the love of comrades in arms. Therefore, it was not that the relationship between the two parties was broken, but that the two of them were confused again.
The relationship has been bridged."
That’s right!
Lin Shuangchao and Fourth Master moved from the dining table to the living room and talked about what Ma Juntian was doing in the south, so that Fourth Master could understand what kind of person Ma Juntian was.
Wu Xiuzhen glanced over there and said, "Your dad is really old. He didn't talk like this when he came back. As soon as he finished eating, he went to the study. Unless there were family matters, otherwise he wouldn't talk like that."
Tongtong laughed. It's not that Lin Shuangchao doesn't like to talk, it's just that he can't find anyone who can talk to him. Couples in the world are different. Couples like Lin Shuangchao and Wu Xiuzhen can be considered to have been in love for a lifetime. But the two
Do people have a common language? No! Lin Shuangchao was not interested in Wu Xiuzhen's routine, and Wu Xiuzhen actually didn't understand much about Lin Shuangchao's workplace routine. But this did not prevent the two from having children, that's all.
A lifetime passed.
Knowing what was going on, Lin Yutong didn't take it too seriously. Two days later, Xie Rong came again and said, "I want to ask you a favor. Give me a ride. I have to go to the magazine to report."
"
Do you work at the magazine office? Lin Yutong took his coat and said, "I really don't know where the magazine office is. I'm not familiar with the road."
Xie Rong said: "Let's go, I will show you the way."
The newly purchased car was a seven-seater minivan. It took Xie Rong to the magazine office! This place is right above the daily office, so it's not far away.
"Don't leave in a hurry. We'll go have dinner together later. I'll take you to a good restaurant. I'll just go up and hand you some materials. It'll take five minutes."
In less than five minutes, the person got out, shivering in the car, "I'm a photojournalist for a magazine, and I don't have to work. I just hand in some photos they need every half month, and I'm usually very free."
Then this job is good!
Xie Rong laughed and said, "Many photos have to be taken in the factory. It's not as convenient as me to go anywhere, so they happily gave me this job." Then he gave Tongtong directions, "Did you see that?
I opened a Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant and the taste is very authentic.”
Hmm! I don’t know if it tastes authentic or not, but the decoration style is nice.
After requesting a small private room upstairs and ordering a few dishes, Xie Rongcai asked, "I heard that my old family has many opportunities to work with your family."
Lin Yutong smiled and poured her tea, "I like to relax, and men don't like to ask about things outside."
Xie Rong sighed, "That's why your family is so worried!"
Lin Yutong said, "I heard from my dad that Ma Shiz is a cadre. I don't believe that such a person is messing around outside! Besides, if he is messing around, Uncle Xie won't be able to spare him.
"
Xie Rong held the cup and said, "It's not like he's messing around. It's just that... when he was an educated youth, he dated someone. He went to the hospital to visit an old leader. When he came out, he met the woman who wanted to sell blood. He asked about the situation and said it was for the child.
When I went to see a doctor, I gave away all the money I had, more than 70 yuan, and asked the secretary to go back and advance two months' salary to him..." Lin Yutong asked, "Is the illness serious?"
"The burn is quite large. I heard that some hospitals can do skin grafting..." Xie Rong snorted coldly, "As for the money, just come back and tell me. Am I not willing to give it? Advance the money and tell me when you come back.
I met someone in the hospital and got an advance on my salary..."
Lin Yutong interjected, "With such a big flood this year, it's possible that he doesn't want you to go out and withdraw money! The unit has an accountant and cashier, and he took the cash directly and asked you to get it... I saw in the news report that the street
The water on the surface is up to your shins, and the dam could collapse at any time..."
"The family home where we live is right outside the bank, what's the danger?" Xie Rong shook his head, "He didn't consider my feelings at all in this matter. Not only that, he also helped inquire about skin grafting surgery.
The hospital... hmph! What is he worried about? If someone wants to find a hospital, she won't go looking for it. Even if she can't find it herself, they won't ask Ma Juntian! What does he mean by taking the initiative to show his kindness?
"
Lin Yutong: "..." This is beyond words! In fact, it is quite difficult to see a doctor now, the information is not so developed, and it is difficult to inquire without acquaintances. It is like being in a provincial capital, where parents-in-law often visit
I ask the people in the village which hospital is good at treating certain diseases. Sometimes I have to help find acquaintances in the hospital! In fact, there are really many good doctors and many experts, but people who have no connections really can’t figure it out.
Come to the side.
How should I put it? Ma Juntian's handling may have been inappropriate, but it is obviously impossible to say that Xie Rong divorced Ma Juntian just because of this incident.
Maybe things don't go well in normal times. The more we bump into each other, the less affection we have.
After the food was served and after a few glasses of wine, Xie Rong said, "He is a man who can't even look at me with either of his eyes. When we got married, he was not happy with it. It was my father-in-law who forced him to do it."
He was promised to get married. Why didn't he agree to it at that time? Wasn't it just that he couldn't let go of his previous partner? Look, he felt distressed when someone was in trouble. He also gave money and contacted the hospital... If not
The child's age is wrong, I almost thought it was the child of the two of them! Since you don't like me and can't let go of her, then let it go! It will save him a lot of grievance."
Drink less! Lin Yutong took the wine away, "I want to drive, but I can't touch a drop of alcohol. You said you were drinking alone, and if I get you drunk again, how will I explain it to my aunt when I get back! Hurry, let's have some food.
, go back early! I think it’s a bad day, I’m afraid it will rain again..."
I can't stand this chatter! Who is right and wrong between the couple, except the two of them, who can tell it clearly?
He helped the person who was obviously drunk down and went to the counter to pay. After taking out his wallet, a person came out of the box on the other side. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties and asked, "Sister Rongrong, why are you drunk?
"
Xie Rong squinted and said, "It's Xiao Zheng! Why are you here?"
"I'm having dinner with my friends..." He looked at Lin Yutong and said, "She must be the sister of the Lin family. Look, I wouldn't dare to recognize her outside."
Lin Yutong didn't know who this little Zheng was, so he just nodded and smiled and asked the boss, "How much..."
"Ouch! My sister, aren't you slapping my brother in the face? You go your own way, this is a settlement between brothers."
Xie Rong pulled Lin Yutong and left, "Let's go, let's go, you're not an outsider, I can't eat enough for one meal, Xiao Zheng."
Lin Yutong didn't insist, so he just took Xie Rong back and sent him to his home.
Aunt Xie was so angry that she asked the nanny to take her to the room. Then she pulled Tongtong downstairs and said, "This Rongrong, if I were half as good as you, I would be relieved. This child's temper is too stubborn."
, it was me and your Uncle Xie who spoiled her. You, don’t listen to her nonsense, she is simply angry. In fact, that kid in Juntian is quite good! I don’t know how much you, Uncle Xie, and I like her.
Having such a son-in-law makes us feel at ease. But who told my family to give birth to this child?"
"The conflict between the couple was just a matter of anger. Maybe they slowly figured out that there is no guarantee that a broken relationship can be reunited." The nanny added this to the side.
These words touched Aunt Xie's heart. She immediately smiled and said to Tongtong: "I always envy your mother. I feel that my daughter should be as considerate as you and know how to be considerate of her parents. Rongrong loves to find
You play, but you also have to always try to persuade them. There’s no way the couple can’t resolve any conflicts they have! It’s not like there’s someone outside Juntian, or she’s having an affair, so there’s no way the couple can’t get along with each other?"
Lin Yutong responded and said a few more words before saying goodbye and going home.
Sure enough, it was very cold today. The wind was blowing, and those who were blown by the snow foam felt really cold to the bones.
I shivered as soon as I got home, really! What's the best day? People who don't have to go to work have the best life. This kind of day is suitable for staying in a warm room, reading a book, and drinking a cup of hot tea.
After I came back, I took a bath first, and while I was wiping my hair, I got a call from Yucai, saying that he might not be able to come back to celebrate the New Year this year. After that, I got a call from my hometown again, and my mother-in-law said: "It's snowed heavily these past two days, and the ground is very wet."
The new plastic shed built this year collapsed and all the vegetables that grew were frozen."
If it's frozen, just freeze it. It doesn't mean selling it for money anyway.
Yang Shuhui went on to talk about whose son was getting married, whose daughter was getting married, and who passed away. This chatter lasted for another half an hour. It wasn't until Jin Yin urged her that Yang Shuhui gave the phone.
Jinyin said, "Give it, give it! Say what you want to say."
Tongtong smiled and called "Dad" and asked: "Is the business of the eldest brother and the third brother good?"
That's not what Jinyin wanted to say, "The brick and tile factory in Sanling makes a pretty good profit, and it doesn't have much technical content. Nowadays, there are many open ones. As far as I know, they are open in the surrounding villages, big and small."
There are eight small ones. His father-in-law means that he wants your third brother and sister-in-law to open a restaurant in the provincial capital..."
Lin Yutong understood. She just wanted to ask if it would cause trouble to her family. So, she hurriedly said: "This is a good thing! How can this restaurant not make money now? Come if you want, I will help you."
The location depends on the shop. We still have a three-bedroom apartment here that can accommodate people, and there will be a place to stay when we come. When my third brother wants to come, I will pick him up at the station!"
OK! We’ll call after we’ve discussed it.
As a result, at night, Sanling made the call in person and told the fourth master, "My father-in-law has retired and wants to open a restaurant with me. This means that I am half with your third sister-in-law, and your third sister-in-law is her brother."
Half of the profit is shared equally between the two families. But these brothers have to settle the accounts clearly, right? It will be a problem after a long time to discuss the amount in the same pot! I want to open a restaurant with the capital I have earned over the past few years.
I don’t want to partner with my father-in-law either…”
Okay! The Fourth Master just doesn’t want to go somewhere else to socialize! To be honest, it’s impossible not to socialize outside. But socializing is something like this, it’s very immodest now. Some of the meals are not taboo, and the Fourth Master doesn’t like it very much.
It had only been a few months, and he didn't have many social activities outside. But on the few occasions when he had social activities, which one didn't involve a female secretary?
Female secretaries are not really a complimentary industry nowadays. In addition to maintaining an extremely close relationship with their bosses, many female secretaries also perform other functions at dinner parties. In addition to persuading people to drink and liven up the atmosphere, when they meet important people, they also treat the female secretaries.
The secretary is a bit interesting and can be given as a gift.
Therefore, what was originally a simple conversation turned out to be not so simple. Many people do not think there is a problem in itself, but think that people who cannot cope with all situations are unsociable.
After that, we can just decide the place ourselves. The fourth master said to Sanling, "For restaurants, the main thing is good craftsmanship. If you don't have this skill, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask your sister-in-law to stay in the kitchen all day. I'll do it."
Capital, let’s open a teahouse. As for the Lei family’s desire to open a restaurant, I can help find a place for you two to live next to each other, but each has his own business. The teahouse... takes a quiet and peaceful life.
You have to give people a safe place to talk.”
Sanling immediately agreed, "I have the capital, and the rest will be as you say."
Fourth Master did not refute at that time, but in fact, Sanling's little capital could not afford to open a good teahouse.
Does a teahouse make money? It depends on who opens the teahouse.
Sanling said to his parents at home, "The fourth child said it can be profitable, so it must be profitable, and it's easy to make money. What do you mean by that? Mountains are not high, but immortals are famous. People who drink tea inside have no status.
Normally, how many people can be attracted to drink tea... It just so happens that the fourth child also wants to find a peaceful place..."
With that said, anyone can figure it out.
But Sanling felt that there was no need to be so honest with his wife about this kind of thing. Sometimes, things would not go smoothly if you were too honest. He said, "...I don't have any skills. If I ask you to cook all day long, it will be so painful."
Sin, I feel reluctant to part with it. If that's the case, it's better to just stay at the brick and tile factory and earn some money, as long as you are comfortable."
Lei Qiufang really felt that it was okay to be tired.
"Being a cook is actually a hard job. I can't sleep in the middle of the night and have to get up early in the morning. It's just a matter of guarding the stove in the winter. In the summer, it's smoky. How comfortable is it? The purpose of making money is to make you feel comfortable. If you don't
It’s comfortable, what do we need so much money for?”
Lei Qiufang punched Sanling, "Do you not want to partner with my dad?"
"Dad cooks, so you don't have to help me. You feel sorry for me because Dad is tired, so you rush to do everything. I just feel sorry for you, so what should I do if I can't do your job?" Sanling did not deny that he did not want to partner with his father-in-law.
It's a matter of fact, but my daughter-in-law won't be happy if my father is fond of my son.
Really! What my father-in-law means is that he does his craftsmanship and doesn’t care about anything else. If he makes any money, he will give half of it to his brother-in-law.
It sounds reasonable, but something feels weird.
In fact, if he doesn't mention it, after he earns money, he will give half of it to his father-in-law. The father-in-law can distribute it to the children or keep it for himself, without telling his family. But just spread it out like this in advance... then
What about the future? In the future, if the old man can no longer do his job, he will have to continue to share half with his brother-in-law! Why?!
To open a storefront, craftsmanship is very important. However, cost, location and decoration of the storefront, dealing with various departments, customer sources, etc. are all the key to the success of the business. But these all have to be done by yourself or Laosi and Xiaotong.
Go and deal with it. To be honest, based on the reputation of Lao Si and Xiaotong and the business they will bring, it is okay to give Lao Si and Xiaotong a part. But he keeps asking his brother-in-law to take half, and Sanling feels that this matter cannot be done.
But there is no way to reach an agreement with the daughter-in-law on this matter! The daughter-in-law's heart is partial to her brother, and her heart is partial to her own brother. This is something that cannot be communicated. Everyone has their own reasons.
Then it's better to avoid talking about it and say something that makes sense.
Sure enough, after saying this, Lei Qiufang didn't insist, "Then I'll take the time to go back and tell Dad."
"It's okay for dad to open a restaurant. The fourth child said he would help find a location and asked us to have two restaurants next to each other. It's convenient for taking care of it!"
Lei Qiufang really didn't think much about it this time, and happily went back to her parents' home to tell her father. As soon as her daughter-in-law left, Yang Shuhui slapped Sanling on the back, "You are getting better and better at fooling your wife now."
.”
Sanling laughed and said, "To tell the truth, no one is happy; to tell lies, everyone is happy; sometimes lies are better than the truth."
A few days later, the two couples arrived. Tongtong drove to pick them up in person and took them directly to the family home.
Wu Xiuzhen was very enthusiastic about the Sanling couple, "It doesn't matter if you open a restaurant. I was so happy when you said you were going to open a restaurant! Sometimes I want to eat our water banquet, but I don't know where to find it."
Go. There is such a special restaurant. Not to mention other people, I will take people there for dinner every now and then."
Lei Qiufang got smart and immediately rolled up her sleeves, "Auntie, what's the point? I'll go and have a look in the kitchen and make some special dishes for us today."
Wu Xiuzhen was not polite, "That's the kitchen over there, tell Xiao Zhang to buy whatever you need."
Lin Shuangchao came back specially for dinner at noon and arranged a meeting in the evening. He was afraid that he would not be able to meet and ask other people's children to have ideas. At the dinner table, he said to Sanling, "You are smart. Nowadays, those who are smart can make money. That's what you have to do."
For those who dare to try, the country supports individuals."
Sanling and Lei Qiufang were not familiar with this tone of speech, and they were not good at talking to each other.
Fortunately, Lin Shuangchao left after just one meal. Lei Qiufang was left talking to Wu Xiuzhen at home, while Tongtong drove Sanling to the factory.
This is also Tongtong's first time here. The old buildings and tall trees are reflected in the white snow, and something really flashes through his mind.
She was looking left and right, but she didn't know that the people upstairs were also looking down.
Gu Sui poked Lu Qiushan: "Look! Look! Another beautiful secretary is here to make a dinner date with the factory director..."
Lu Qiu Shan frowned, looked down, and saw a woman wearing a red woolen coat walking towards the office building. He took a closer look: Yo! Writer Lin.
