Lin Yuan's home is an old house with two entrances. After entering the main door, there is a large courtyard. After the courtyard, there is a middle door. After entering the middle door, there are rooms facing each other on the left and right sides. In the center of the room is a large patio.
.
Following Lin Yuan's shout, a middle-aged woman of about fifty years old walked out of the middle door. The woman was about 1.6 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure. She was not pretty. There were already many wrinkles on her face.
But her eyes were very bright, unlike ordinary rural women, she seemed to have the sense of an intellectual woman.
"Xiao Yuan is back." The woman is Lin Yuan's mother Xiao Yue'e. Xiao Yue'e and Lin Yuan's father are both middle school teachers in the county. Lin Yuan's father Lin Haichao did not inherit Lin Yizhi's old business like Lin Yuan.
.
"I'm back." Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "There are no classes today? Where is my dad?"
"I don't have classes today, your dad has classes in the afternoon, and he's still in school right now." Xiao Yue'e stepped forward to accept Lin Yuan's salute, and led Lin Yuan in while saying: "I've lost weight again.
Isn’t it not delicious?”
"I'm obviously fat, okay?" Lin Yuan smiled bitterly. Xiao Yue'e would say this every time he came back. The first few times were fine and he had indeed lost weight, but this time he didn't lose weight at all, but gained a lot of weight. After all, he graduated
In the next few months, he ate much better than at school. Although he was a little tired and sometimes missed meals, his nutrition was absolutely balanced.
"It's good to be fat, but it's dark." Xiao Yue'e looked at Lin Yuan lovingly. Like most mothers, when their son comes back from afar, he always has to find some shortcomings in his son. Either he is thin or dark.
.
"How can it not be dark in the summer?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"You haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you right now." Xiao Yue'e put down Lin Yuan's salute and started preparing lunch. It was indeed almost lunch time. Although Pingshui County belongs to Jiangzhong City, Lin Yuan took the car
It will take two hours to get back.
When Xiao Yue'e was cooking, Lin Yuan also took the initiative to help. Mother and son were talking and laughing. Xiao Yue'e kept asking Lin Yuan how he was doing in the past six months. After all, this was Lin Yuan's first time home since the Spring Festival and the start of school.
"You opened a clinic in Jiangzhong just after graduation? How much money did you get?" Xiao Yue'e was surprised when she heard that Lin Yuan had opened Zhengqi Tang in Jiangzhong. Although Lin Yuan had asked his family to take care of Zhengqi Tang just after graduation.
I sent the doctor’s sign, but my family didn’t expect Lin Yuan to open a clinic so quickly.
"It doesn't cost much to open a clinic. I've made some friends outside and have some help. The clinic's business is pretty good right now." Lin Yuan said with a smile, but he didn't explain too much. There are some things that the family just
Concern, if you really say too much, they will worry instead.
"Anyway, you still have to be careful outside. You have been studying medicine with your grandfather since you were a child, and you have a certain skill. Your father and I don't worry about it. But you are already a grown man. When will you bring a girlfriend back?" Xiao Yue'e is really interested in the clinic.
He wasn't very concerned about it, but he was very concerned about Lin Yuan's life events.
"Mom, I just graduated, okay? And I'm only twenty-five, so it's still early." Lin Yuan smiled bitterly.
"Why is it so early? Twenty-five is not too young anymore. Your father and I were only twenty when we met, and I had you when I was twenty-three." Xiao Yue'e said.
Lin Yuan was helpless. Maybe all parents in the world are the same. When their son grows up, he would like to take his daughter-in-law back, but here the daughter-in-law can't be taken as soon as he says.
After lunch, Lin Yuan stayed with Xiao Yue'e at home. When it was time for dinner, Lin Haichao also came back. One of Lin Haichao and Xiao Yue'e was a politics teacher and the other a history teacher. They did not arrange late self-study in the evening. Compared with Li Haichao,
Xiao Yue'e seemed to be more relaxed. After all, history in junior high school was not considered a major subject.
"Xiao Yuan is back?" Lin Haichao entered the door and saw Lin Yuan in the room. He smiled and nodded to Lin Yuan and asked, "How are you in Jiangzhong? Is your job stable?"
"Xiao Yuan opened the Zhengqi Hall in Jiangzhong. This son has been close to your father since he was a child, and he finally took over your father's class." Before Lin Yuan spoke, Xiao Yue'e said a little sourly. After all, her son and
When grandpa came closer, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"What's wrong with this? Doctors are considered a good profession now." Lin Haichao said. Compared with Xiao Yue'e, Lin Haichao was very pleased. After all, their Lin family ancestors had been practicing medicine for several generations, and they were imperial doctors.
He himself does not have the talent to study medicine. If Lin Yuan studies medicine, the Lin family will not stop inheriting the craftsmanship.
"Doctors are pretty good!" Xiao Yue'e quite agrees with this point. Among the most popular professions in society right now, doctors are definitely one of the most popular. Doctors who are similar can't be said to be rich and wealthy, but at least they have enough food and clothing.
The family of three chatted for a while, and then Lin Yuan asked Lin Haichao: "Dad, what are you going to do on my grandpa's third anniversary?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Haichao said: "Your mother and I are planning to do something small, since we don't have many relatives anyway."
Regarding the third anniversary, the customs here in Linyuan are basically the same. There are small celebrations and big celebrations. The small celebration is to ask some relatives who are very close to notify them and burn some paper at the grave. The big celebration is not
Likewise, more relatives should be notified, and a suona player should also be invited.
"Whether it is a big or small event, I plan to erect a monument for grandpa, and I have already ordered the stone monument and will deliver it in the next few days." Lin Yuan said.
"If you erect a monument, it's a big deal." Lin Haichao said: "It's rare that you have the heart, so let's do it big."
After discussing the matter of Lin Yizhi's third anniversary, before Lin Yuan had time to have dinner, there was a sound of car honking at the door. When he walked out of the front door, he saw Lei Shenglin driving his car and honking the horn at the door.
"Lin Yuan, didn't we agree to get together in the evening? Get in the car quickly." Seeing Lin Yuan coming out, Lei Shenglin smiled and rolled down the window to greet Lin Yuan.
"I was just talking about calling you." Lin Yuan smiled, said hello to Lin Haichao and Xiao Yuee, got into Lei Shenglin's car, and the two of them rushed to the county seat together.
On the way, Lei Shenglin picked up another person. This person was also Lin Yuan's high school classmate, named Shen Fei. Like Lei Shenglin, he didn't take the junior college entrance examination and went out to work after graduating from high school.
Seeing Lin Yuan, Shen Fei was also very happy. He punched Lin Yuan directly and cursed with a smile: "Lin Yuan, I haven't seen you for four or five years."
"It's been more than four years." Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You people don't know how to go home during the holidays."
"We go out to work. If we can't make any money, we won't have the dignity to come back. Unlike you, we go to school and feel comfortable." Shen Fei said with a smile.
"Why am I comfortable? The school is not necessarily good. How is it? Where are you working now? Why are you back at such a time?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.
"I'm hanging out with Mr. Lei now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back at this time. Mr. Lei is my big boss." Shen Fei said with a smile.
"Hey, Mr. Lei is doing well now. He drives a car and has a younger brother. Have you found a sister-in-law for the big guy?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing Lin Yuan ask this question, both Lei Shenglin and Shen Fei became a little taciturn, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward. Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell me? "
"That Lin Yuan, I told you not to be angry." Lei Shenglin said with some embarrassment.
"Tell me, why am I so angry?" Lin Yuan felt a little baffled.
"Yang Dongming and Qi Yumeng are talking now. I heard that they might get married during the Spring Festival. Yang Dongming and Qi Yumeng may also come tonight." Lei Shenglin said.
"Qi Yumeng?" Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter. No wonder Lei Shenglin and Shen Fei both became embarrassed. It turned out to be this reason. Qi Yumeng was once the class star of their class. At that time, many People rumored that Lin Yuan liked Qi Yumeng, and later both Lin Yuan and Qi Yumeng were admitted to college, but not in the same school.
"Qi Yumeng is back?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Back, her father is now the deputy county magistrate of our Pingshui County, and she is now a civil servant in the county government." Shen Fei said.
"Congratulations to that young man Yang Dongming. He's not very good-looking, but he actually managed to win a beauty. He's also the future son-in-law of the deputy county magistrate. His future is limitless." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Lin Yuan, are you really okay?" Lei Shenglin turned back and looked at Lin Yuan: "You and Qi Yumeng?"
"It's nothing. She and I haven't seen each other for several years." Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head. These people are really like rain when they see wind. Besides, even if they had some ideas at that time, after four or five years, time can kill everything. .
