Chapter 157: The Little Life of Buying Land and Building a House
Lu Xiaokai squatted in the corner with a bowl and wolfed down the chicken, his childish face filled with great satisfaction.
This big bowl of chicken was so substantial that it didn't even include any chicken soup, which was served to him by his brother-in-law.
He didn't care at all about not being able to eat at the table. He just listened to the adults talking and had to take into account etiquette and rules. How could he eat as freely as he did now.
The stewed chicken nuggets are really fragrant, and so is dad. My brother-in-law brought two boxes of wine. You can see how excited he was. He didn't know how this wine has the flavor of chicken.
In the past, Lu Xiaokai didn't like Shen Lin, his brother-in-law. The main reason was that his mother always complained that his brother-in-law was not upright.
Even once, when Chen Hongying criticized him, she even said that if you don't study hard, you will be expelled like Shen Lin.
If he could be as successful as his brother-in-law after being fired, then Lu Xiaokai would be eager to be fired.
After taking a big bite of a chicken leg, Lu Xiaokai's eyes fell on the big basin of chicken. The second uncle Cheng was picking up the meat too fast. He didn't know how to be more reserved!
How could those chickens be enough for Mr. Cheng to eat?
Cheng Erhe also wanted to be reserved, but the stewed chicken was so fragrant. Coupled with the Maotai wine brought by Shen Lin, it was extremely smooth to drink. He took a sip of the wine and ate a piece of meat, feeling more comfortable than ever before. .
Therefore, he felt like he couldn't stop.
Fortunately, after eating more than a dozen pieces of meat, there was something in his stomach, so he consciously slowed down the speed of picking up the meat.
The only people drinking at the table were Cheng Erhe, Lu Dahai and Shen Lin. Although Chen Hongying was the top leader in the family, according to the rules at the time, when men drank, women generally did not have to sit at the table.
Shen Lin brought enough food, so Chen Hongying took Zhao Honglian and Lu Xiaorong to eat in the next room.
"Shen Lin, you've finished the Paris Street, what are you going to do next?" Lu Dahai is not good at talking, but he is really happy today.
Although he knew everything about his daughter's family, in his family, the woman had always been the master of the house and the man the master of the house, so Chen Hongying had to take part in most matters.
Now, after finally catching his son-in-law, he couldn't help but ask.
Shen Lin drinks the least. He has an average drinking capacity and is not willing to compete with two experienced old workers.
He slowly drank half of the five-cent cup in front of him, then picked up the tin wine pot in the middle of the table and helped Lu Dahai and Cheng Erhe pour it.
Originally, Shen Lin wanted to say something like a glass cup or a wine divider to drink Moutai, but unfortunately there are none now.
Shen Lin couldn't find a place to complain about that heavy old tin wine flask.
"Dad, my second-hand home appliance shop has been opened. Now, in addition to collecting some old home appliances, I also sell repaired second-hand home appliances every day."
"It has just opened and the business is average, but it is still enough to earn some pocket money every day."
"I am currently planning to find a piece of land and build a house to save the baby from being born. We are still renting a house."
Shen Lin's words made Lu Dahai very happy. He wanted to give his son-in-law a hundred likes.
Although Shen Lin now earns a lot of money, according to Lu Dahai's opinion, no matter how much money he earns, he cannot give his daughter a sense of belonging.
After all, only when you have your own place to live can you feel settled.
"Well, your plan is good. It's best to find a place as soon as possible and build the house in the autumn. Then it will dry out in the winter and it can be moved in next spring." Lu Dahai was satisfied and expressed a rare opinion. .
Cheng Erhe picked up a piece of pig head meat and said, "Shen Lin, have you found a good place?"
"Uncle, haven't I been busy these days? I haven't had time to find a place yet." Shen Lin answered very honestly.
Cheng Erhe said: "Xiahe Village is very close to our factory. My cousin works as an accountant in the village. I asked him to help you ask how much the land in Xiahe Village sells for per acre."
"By the way, how much do you want?"
Shen Lin pondered for a while and said: "Uncle, let's take one acre. After building a house, the yard can be bigger. In the future, when the baby is born and can walk, he can play in the yard."
One acre of land, Cheng Erhe smacked his lips. There is an underground river village with this acre, but the price is not cheap. In his opinion, if a young couple wants to find a place to build a house, three or four cents is enough.
But looking at the two large pots of meat in front of him and the Maotai wine on the table, he quickly gave up the idea. Lu Dahai's son-in-law was too high-end, and he couldn't use his own eyes to guess at others.
"Okay, I'll help you ask when you get back."
The drinking session lasted for more than an hour, and the three of them drank two bottles of wine. Shen Lin controlled his drinking capacity, so although he was drunk but not drunk, Lu Dahai and Cheng Erhe, who were always willing to come, were already dizzy. Huhu.
In the end, Cheng Erhe was helped away by the woman at home, while Shen Lin left with Zhao Honglian and Lu Xiaorong.
The originally lively room began to quiet down.
Chen Hongying didn't talk much when Lu Dahai and the others were drinking. However, after Shen Lin and the others left, looking at the two empty wine bottles, she felt a little painful in her stomach.
These two bottles of wine, according to Shen Lin, cost close to ten yuan a bottle.
After Shen Lin drank it, she couldn't say anything. After all, it was her son-in-law who bought it. But this old man and Cheng Erhe drank one cup after another without stopping. What a big deal!
"Lu Dahai, you are very capable today. I winked at you, but you pretended not to see it, right? It's not enough for you to drink one bottle of wine. Why don't you drink two bottles at once!" Chen Hongying packed her things and looked at Lu. The sea complains.
"Hey, what's wrong with drinking two bottles? I'm in a happy mood today, so drinking one more bottle won't do the trick!"
Lu Dahai sat on the sofa with sleepy eyes and said with emotion: "I have always felt that I am sorry for Xiaorong."
"If I had persisted then, I would never have been able to marry such a good girl to a second-rate guy who is not good at anything. Now I feel relieved, woo woo, Xiao Rong will no longer have to endure hardships in the future!"
Listening to Lu Dahai's sobbing voice, Chen Hongying suddenly fell silent. Although at home, she had never said that she had made a mistake, but in fact, Shen Lin's self-destruction after being expelled made her so regretful that her intestines were blue. .
This is why, after Fang Boyuan revealed that she liked Lu Xiaorong, she wanted to divorce Lu Xiaorong.
Now when she heard Lu Dahai mentioned this, a trace of mist rose in her eyes. But at this time, she would never admit her mistake.
"Huh, you old guy really drank too much, why don't you go to bed quickly?"
"By the way, Shen Lin said, this wine will become more and more valuable as it is kept for a long time. If you want to drink in the future, go out and buy the kind that costs 50 cents a bottle. I have to keep these wines until we, Xiao Kai, Use it when you get married."
Chen Hongying said without a doubt and continued to clear her plates, while Lu Dahai, who was lying on the sofa, quickly fell asleep.
But at this time, his face slowly relaxed, and even in his sleep, he showed a smile of relief.
