Pork was not available. Mother Lin only bought chickens and eggs. Lin Jinxing bought geese and brought back fish, shrimps and crabs. The Xiao family brought mutton and beef today.
So today’s lunch was very sumptuous, including steamed chicken, stewed goose, pickled fish, spicy stir-fried river fish chowder, cumin mutton, tomato beef, scrambled eggs with green onions, stir-fried rapeseed, and garlic water spinach.
The staple food is rice and white flour steamed buns, and the soup is kelp and tofu soup.
The meal was sumptuous and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
…
"Are you leaving? Bring a fish back."
"I have to leave. I have things to do at home. Okay, I'll take one back. I haven't eaten such a big fish in a long time."
Mother Lin packed a large fish for them, about four kilograms, as well as three or four kilograms of shrimps, crabs and other river fresh food. Su Hong saw that there were many fish, shrimps and crabs in the pond, so she didn't stop her.
Director Xiao and the others came on two bicycles. Director Xiao was riding a men's 28-bar, with his wife behind him.
Xiao Jun was riding her mother's 26 women's bicycle. There was a basket on the back, which contained beef and mutton when she arrived. Now there are fish, shrimps and crabs in it.
"Okay, don't send us off, we're leaving." Director Xiao took his wife and set off first.
Xiao Jun deliberately walked beside Lin Jinxing from the moment he left the house. When he saw his parents leaving, he took out the red envelope from his pocket and inserted it into Lin Jinxing's pocket, "Here's a red envelope for you."
Lin Jinxing looked down at the red envelope in her pocket in confusion. She really showed off what was in her pocket.
Looking up at Xiao Jun, he was already riding far away. Lin Jinxing took out the red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mother Lin, "Mom, Xiao Jun gave me the red envelope."
Mother Lin looked up and saw that Xiao Jun and Factory Director Xiao and his wife had walked away, "I'll give it to you."
At the corner, Xiao Jun looked back and saw Lin Jinxing happily opening the red envelope, the one she gave her. Sure enough, she liked red envelopes.
Lin Jinxing opened the red envelope given by her mother and looked at it. It was ten yuan. After returning home, she opened the red envelope given by Aunt Su and it was twenty yuan.
"Mom, I was given twenty yuan." Lin Jinxing raised the twenty yuan in his hand. In comparison, the ten yuan that his mother prepared was a bit less.
When two families interact, they value both equality and favor. Based on past experience, Lin Jinxing judged that giving red envelopes is 80% equality and 20% favor.
If you give someone ten yuan and they give you twenty yuan, it's fine if you don't know the first time you give it, but if you do it every year in the future, others should be careful about you behind your back.
Hu Zhiyin frowned. Twenty yuan in red envelopes is a bit too much in this day and age.
You know, the salary of most people now is only more than 20 yuan. The salary of a first-level skilled worker in a machinery factory is only 35 yuan, and the salary of unskilled workers is even lower.
The ten-dollar red envelope she prepared was quite large, and it was given because of Xiao Yijiang's status as the factory director.
"Old Lin, your relationship with Factory Director Xiao is so good? Today they gave me half a sheep, more than ten kilograms of beef, and the red envelope contained twenty yuan."
The more Hu Zhiyin thought about it, the more abnormal it became. As far as she knew, most of the red envelopes in the village were one or two points, and some people even gave a red envelope. The town was better than the village, so it couldn't be so different.
Lin Zhengqing frowned, "It stands to reason that we can't. We are better than ordinary friends. I'll ask around the corner some other time."
When Xiao Jun returned home, Xiao's father looked like he was watching a good show and asked, "Did you like it?"
"Well, I'm attracted to her. I think she's pretty good."
Su Hong had not received her son's hint before and asked in surprise: "Are you attracted to Lin Jinxing?"
