During the Chinese New Year, we just visit each other, drink and chat.
Chen Hai drank more wine in the past few days than he drank in a year.
The reason why he encountered this situation was because his younger brother was Shen Lin.
In the past few days, there have been so many people coming to pay New Year's greetings at home that even though he never drank alcohol before, he still had to drink with relatives and friends.
For example, people coming from her hometown, and those people who should be called uncle by Zhao Honglian’s natal family, plus...
These people came to their house to pay New Year's greetings basically because of Shen Lin. They wanted to get close to Shen Lin, but they were particularly self-conscious when drinking.
After discovering that Shen Lin didn't drink much, most people gave two symbolic toasts and then focused their toasts on Shen Hai.
He is not good at refusing, and they are old relatives, so...
Once, twice, three times...
As a result, when getting on the train to return to Beijing, Shen Hai's face turned pale. When he got on the train, he looked at his brother Shen Lin who was sending them off with a smile. He really didn't know what to say.
"Shen Lin, if you do this again next year, I won't come back." Shen Hai suddenly felt his stomach churn and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Shen Lin understood why his brother said this. He smiled and said: "Brother, if you come back next year, I will find a place for you to live. If you don't want to drink by then, just hide and be clean!"
Hearing what Shen Lin said, Shen Hai let out a long breath. What he just said was not just talk.
In fact, the feeling of nausea again and again was already a bit unbearable for him.
"Okay, this way I can come back." As Chen Hai spoke, he looked at his watch and said, "I'm getting ready to get in the car, you can go too."
Shen Lin looked at Shen Hai, whose face was very similar to his own, and sighed in his heart. His brother would only live in an ordinary life in later generations.
Although they are not impoverished, they do not have much money. The family of three only lives in two rooms and one living room, and their life is very tight.
"Brother, I asked my sister-in-law to help me buy a house this year. By the way, you should also take advantage of this opportunity to buy a house."
"If the money is not enough, I will help you out first." Although he doesn't like Li Xuemei, Chen Hai is his brother after all, and this family relationship that blood is thicker than water can never be erased. When parting, Shen Lin still couldn't bear it I want to help.
Chen Hai felt a toothache when he thought about his brother's plan to buy a courtyard house. This brother was really too arrogant.
I originally thought that buying a courtyard house would be a punishment, but after hearing what he said, it was obviously a kind of enjoyment.
"Okay, I'll go back and let your sister-in-law worry about it. As for us..." Shen Hai originally wanted to say that as for us, forget it, but when he thought about the inconveniences he and Li Xuemei had caused because of the house, he finally changed his words. : "When we are sure, we will ask you for help."
"Brother, what does one family say to two families?" As Shen Lin spoke, he pointed at Li Xuemei who was watching the salute from a distance and said, "Did sister-in-law call you over there?"
Chen Hai saw that Li Xuemei, who was guarding the big color TV on the platform, was waving to him. He looked at his watch and said, "Shen Lin, your sister-in-law urged me to get on the bus."
"I'm leaving first. By the way, although our father's health is recovering well, we just need to let him take care of things for a little while, and don't work too hard."
After Shen Hai said this, he quickly ran towards the boarding gate.
Li Xuemei and Shen Hai took the tickets given by Shen Lin and quickly entered the carriage. When they entered, they discovered that the carriage turned out to be a soft sleeper with only four beds.
You know, now is the critical period of Spring Festival travel. Let alone soft sleepers, even hard seats are hard to buy. The two of them were already prepared to endure hardships, but they didn't expect that Shen Lin would arrange such a good thing for them!
Li Xuemei was originally worried that there was something wrong with the big color TV she got through the lottery, but now she was completely relieved. After settling the big color TV, she asked curiously: "What did Shen Lin tell you?"
"He asked me to remember and buy him a courtyard house within the second ring road." Shen Hai said: "This guy said that two units are fine."
Li Xuemei smacked her lips and said, "Look at what he can do, he is really rich."
"By the way, he asked us to keep an eye on it for ourselves and buy it if there is something suitable. He can lend it to us first," Chen Hai continued.
When Li Xuemei heard this, a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes: "Really? That's really great. We really need to help my little brother handle his matter!"
Seeing his wife's face change so easily, Shen Hai was speechless for a while.
At this moment, the train started moving slowly, and the loud whistle sounded, making Shen Hai's heart suddenly filled with strangeness.
He was about to leave his familiar hometown again and embark on a long journey, which made him feel mixed. However, the new year was about to begin, which made him full of hope for his future life.
Shen Lin didn't know that his image in the eyes of his sister-in-law was changing rapidly. He drove his car slowly on the way home.
Today is only the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Not many businesses are open on the street, but most people still have the joy of the New Year on their faces. From time to time, a group of children will run out of an alley, holding some Burning incense and setting off firecrackers.
Although they were just little cannons, these children played enthusiastically and were extremely happy.
Just when Shen Lin was filled with emotion, he suddenly discovered that in front of him, Mi Yuan, wearing a lavender windbreaker, was walking side by side with a man who looked to be in his twenties and wearing a ginger leather jacket.
Both people were pushing bicycles. At this time, the man didn't know what he was talking about and looked a little excited.
When Mi Yuan saw him, the look in her eyes that seemed to be forever sentimental made Shen Lin feel that Mi Yuan had a good impression of him. And he very wisely used his own reason to cut off this vague good feeling, but Mi Yuan's delicate face would occasionally disappear for no reason in Shen Lin's dreams, and always appear for no reason.
Seeing this scene, Shen Lin quickly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
But soon, he put this discomfort aside.
Just when Shen Lin was about to gently step on the accelerator and pass by the two people silently, the man suddenly grabbed Mi Yuan's bicycle handrail and shouted excitedly.
Although Mi Yuan's expression remained calm, from her expression and actions, Shen Lin felt that Mi Yuan's intention to refuse was still very determined.
Shen Lin positioned Mi Yuan as a friend who could be with him. If it was an ordinary matter, Shen Lin could ignore it, but now Mi Yuan tried to stay calm, but in fact she looked panicked, so Shen Lin finally chose to do it. car.
"Mi Yuan, what do you want from me? Because of you, I have not even seen the girlfriends that my family has chosen for me in the past few years!"
"You just said to me that we two are not suitable for each other, and you are sending me away? Can you tell me what is wrong with us?"
"That's right! If you give me a reason that can convince me, I won't bother you!"
Shen Lin opened the car window and heard these words, while Mi Yuan said calmly: "Lin Chao, we are classmates. I told you from the first time you told me that we two are not suitable. .”
"You should be suitable for a better girl."
"But I think we can go to Chuchu first." Lin Chao said loudly to Mi Yuan: "Maybe you can accept me first. You won't even give me a chance, how can you jump to conclusions!"
"I'm sorry, Lin Chao, you are not the person I like, I'm sorry!" Mi Yuan said very firmly, and the cart was about to go in another direction.
