In the evening, after both children were asleep, Lin Yutong went to find the little old lady and squeezed into the bed with the little old lady. "Hey, now that you are a rich little old lady, you won't pay attention to anyone..."
"Go, go, go!" The little old lady said she was disgusted, but she moved her body to the side, "Why are you running here if you don't look at the child?"
Lin Yutong chuckled: "Isn't this because someone snitched on you and came here to curry favor with you?"
Not formal!
The little old lady simply sat up and leaned on the bed. Lin Yutong took a cotton-padded jacket and put it on her, and asked carefully: "Is your old friend... gone?"
"Well!" The little old lady was silent for a long time before she responded. Then she sighed again, "When you don't know where a person is, who cares whether he is dead or alive, but now that you know the news, you can suddenly hear the news.
No more, I still feel very happy."
Human nature.
It is said that a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. After all, the relationship between the two is extraordinary. And that old friend was always generous to the little old lady at any time, at least he really cared about her in his heart.
It's just that this feeling is a little complicated.
Without waiting for her to speak, the little old lady reached out and took out a thick stack of paper from under the pillow and handed it to Lin Yutong, "I don't know how true or false this is. Anyway, the attorney who came here said
It is the last will and testament, leaving all the remaining property to me..."
Lin Yutong was shocked when he took it, and after flipping through it, he was really shocked again.
This amount of money is not a small amount.
There are also some fixed assets, such as houses, manors, etc.
"Don't you give it to the Qi family again?" Lin Yutong asked the little old lady in a low voice.
The little old lady shook her head: "...that group of people gave them so much money, and that's what harmed them... He thought very clearly..." After saying that, she whispered to Lin Yutong about her previous story.
I was so busy that I didn’t even pay attention to the gossip: “The third child of the Qi family…”
Lin Yutong knew that he was the only living son of his old friend. In fact, the other little wives had children, but they were all scattered back then. Only the eldest wife returned to her hometown with her children and the only concubine without children. Therefore, those scattered
His descendants have long since been nowhere to be found. The only ones he has found are his direct descendants.
They had two legitimate sons and one daughter, but those two have long since disappeared. Only the youngest son is still alive.
"Something happened?" Lin Yutong really didn't know. She was away from her hometown in the second half of last year, and there were many things going on at home. No one really told her these things.
The little old lady must have heard this from an old lady when she was old. In their hearts, these old ladies have always regarded the little old lady as belonging to the Qi family. They think that even if the little old lady is gone in the future, she should be buried in the ancestral grave of the Qi family.
Therefore, if the Qi family had any nonsense, they would rush over and tell the little old lady something.
She asked: "What's wrong?"
The third son of Qi is not young anymore. He is about the same age as Old Man Jin and Aunt Jin. According to the average age of future generations, sixty years old is really young. But in the present moment, sixty years old is not particularly old.
, but not too young. In rural areas, when one reaches fifty, everyone becomes an old man and an old woman. The general concept is this.
Just like Old Man Jin, he was about to be sixty years old when he went there. But if you look at it, it can be regarded as a joy and mourning. He did not die due to misfortune, and he was at this age called "old". People like this
The lifelong mission has been completed.
What is the mission of a person in this life?
First, they buried all their parents and elders, leaving no elderly people to support.
Second, raise all your children and start a family.
If you achieve these two points, your life's mission will be complete.
Old Jin has no elders who would like to give away the white-haired ones to the black-haired ones, and all his children have married and started a business. When a person lives up to this level, there is nothing he can't let go of, so he can leave as soon as he leaves.
Qi Laosan is about the same age as Old Jin, so he can definitely be considered an old man.
If it hadn't been for that windfall, Qi Laosan would still be the same Qi Laosan. It would be nice to have his children take care of him and take care of his grandchildren when he has nothing to do, right?
But isn’t this person’s biological father back?
This time you will have money. What happens after you have money? Change your car, house, or wife!
The car is a brand-new bicycle, and the house is a large brick house built separately. My wife can't change it openly, but she can't change it secretly either.
What's wrong?
She got into trouble with her wife's nephew and daughter-in-law. The nephew's daughter-in-law was a widow. Seeing that her aunt's family was rich, everyone in her family started to fawn over her. This wife also wanted to win over a member of her family.
Well. I just brought my poor nephew and wife here and told me that your uncle and I are old. It’s all your job to clean the house, serve tea and cook. Then I’ll give you ten yuan a month.
money.
Ouch! Where can I find such a good thing?
The widow is not too young, she is already in her 30s and 40s. But compared to a 60-year-old, she is definitely young. The widow’s niece and daughter-in-law also have two children, the eldest is nineteen.
He is a son and is waiting to marry a wife. The younger one is seventeen, a daughter, and has stopped studying a long time ago. When the child is older, he has been abandoned and does not need her to take care of him at home. He wants to go out and earn a lot of money.
Count on each one, ten yuan a month, one hundred and twenty a year. The net money lost from this matter is not to take care of food and drink?
That's a pretty good thing.
As a result, when Qi Laosan saw a young daughter-in-law hanging around all day long, didn't he feel like something was growing in his heart?
What does a widow do out here?
It’s not just about making a few bucks. Everyone knows this.
So Qi Laosan, who was the uncle, relaxed his grip on the widow. He said that he would go to the street to cut a pound of meat. He would give five yuan to those who deserved two yuan. He never asked for the money he got back, and he said he was avoiding the widow.
Pay attention to your aunt.
And this widow is forty years old, and she is not a little girl who doesn't know anything, so she doesn't have any idea.
One just wants the other person to be young, and the other just wants the other person to be rich. Just like that, the two of them gradually got involved.
There are three people living under the same roof. If you say you can't find it in a day or a month, something will definitely go wrong as time goes by.
For example, when a widow’s monthly period comes, women are very shy about this. Except for her own man, which woman would have the nerve to look for her period in front of other men?
As luck would have it, the widow's nephew-in-law accidentally revealed this flaw, and Qi Laosan's wife discovered it.
The wife was suspicious, but she couldn't see it and wasn't sure.
So the next day, I said I missed my daughter and asked my nephew and wife to pack some things and prepare to take them to my daughter's house. I said I was going to babysit the daughter and would have to stay there for three to five days.
As a result, as soon as I left home, I found several sons and daughters-in-law.
When night fell, I asked my son to jump from the back wall to the house and quietly open the door from the inside.
This was a big deal when he got in. He pinned the person under the quilt.
Not only was the wife angry, but the sons were also angry. Apart from being embarrassed, they were more concerned about how much money their father had spent on the widow.
The daughters-in-law were not good at it, so they took out the widow naked, took a porcelain basin and beat it with an iron spoon, and escorted people all over the street to come out to see this shameless product.
It was Murakami who felt that it was not good to do this and finally persuaded him to stop.
As a result, the widow also felt embarrassed. The key is that her children are all getting married. If this embarrassing thing happens, what will the children do?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am too embarrassed to see people, even my children.
As a result, after being escorted back to Qi's house, in front of so many people watching the fun, the widow said that she was not voluntary and was forced by Qi Laosan. Then she rushed to the window sill and put the half of the pot in the corner.
I drank all the pesticide from the bottle.
My dear, this is terrible. By the time I got to the hospital, it was too late.
There are no people left.
Once this man died, neither Qi Laosan's father-in-law's family nor the widow's natal family would accept the offer.
Qi Laosan's father-in-law's family is also the widow's husband's family. Even though they are relatives, they still care about his own family. The widow left two children, right? You have to compensate for this! If you compensate, you will give your own two children a place to live.
, whether you are marrying a wife or a daughter, you don’t need these uncles to worry about it.
Besides, after this scandal, the two families will have nothing to do with each other in the future, so this deal must be done.
Then the widow’s natal family is also the same. You are the elders, right? The children come to serve the elders, and they only give ten yuan a month. Then your Lao Qi family is so wicked, and you still get the ten yuan for it.
Being a mama during the day and a concubine at night, isn't this bullying?
He also followed suit and came forward on behalf of his grandson, accusing the Qi family of rape and death.
The old ones are not bullied by others, and the young ones are not good. If it were not publicized and known to the whole world, would people be able to seek death?
But even if a lawsuit is filed, how should this be determined?
There is no way to prove that the relationship between the two is acquaintance with rape, but Qi Laosan's breaking of the shoes is definitely a crime.
At this time, there was a crime called hooliganism. It would be abolished in 1997.
But now, Qi Laosan has been convicted of this crime, and the evidence is conclusive.
You said that a sixty-year-old person has been working hard all his life, but as a result, he has grown old and is no longer guaranteed.
Got caught.
The rest of the Qi family didn't get any advantage either. They had to pay a total of 1,200 yuan in compensation to the widow's family, which was considered as giving up the matter of human life.
The little old lady whispered: "The lawyer said that Qi Laosan wrote a letter to his father while he was in there. The general meaning was that this money was the root of trouble. He asked his father to just treat it as if he didn't have these children and grandchildren. No more money.
Don’t take it back, just live your life in peace and hope for peace and quiet.”
No wonder!
Lin Yutong lit these things, "What are you going to do?"
The little old lady looked at her granddaughter, and then whispered: "Take half of the money and divide it between Qingning and Qingyuan. You can take care of the two children. The other half, I listened to the radio that the fourth child listened to all day long.
, listen to what he translated to Qing Ning, what kind of fund it is, can you also set up a fund..."
This concept is very new.
Lin Yutong looked at the little old lady in surprise, "You are not keeping up with the times, you are ahead of your time."
The little old lady patted her granddaughter gently before saying: "I don't know if our country has this now. If it does in the future, you will do it for me whether I am here or not... This fund is called Zhou Niantang Charity Fund...
"
Lin Yutong suddenly realized that Zhou Niantang should be the martyr who died early.
This is how she commemorated him.
Lin Yutong agreed one by one, and when he returned to the room, he couldn't help but recite: Life has been full of love and obsession since ancient times, and this matter has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.
When the fourth master returned home before the summer floods came, Lin Yutong told him the matter: "...What should I do with such a large sum of money?"
The Fourth Master looked through it and found the lawyer who was looking for the little old lady.
The lawyer has been traveling back and forth between China and abroad.
Fourth Master went to ask this person to buy the money into stocks. When Microsoft was first listed, it was only 0.08 US dollars per share, and later it increased a full 360 times. There are also some companies like Apple.
Half of the shares will be transferred to the name of the fund in the future.
Lin Yutong went to find his mentor Qin Guo, who was really annoyed to death by the experimental funds recently.
Lin Yutong didn't hide anything from the teacher, and explained the ins and outs of the money clearly, "...So, don't worry, the origin of this money is very clean, it comes from inheritance..."
I thought the instructor was very happy, but I didn't expect him to be silent.
He tapped his fingers on the table, "Let's keep this matter under wraps. Stop spreading it around... at least, not yet." After saying that, without giving Lin Yutong any time to react, he immediately skipped the topic, "This semester has passed.
Most of the time, wait until the exam is over, don’t rush away yet. In this way, I will arrange the topics for you, and you can take them back to do them. Aren’t you taking care of both feed and breeding? Do you think this will work? In the future, this will be considered a lot of work in our school.
I have set up a base for students to practice. In the second half of the year, you will be at home, one is to perfect the project, and the other is to help me keep an eye on the internship students."
Don't ask yourself to go to school.
When I left the office, I was still a little confused, and it sounded like something was about to happen.
She usually comes and goes in a hurry and rarely stays in the school. She is always the last to know if something happened in the school. I was planning to ask Zhou Yang, but when I arrived at the teaching building, I saw many students gathered together.
, looking at what was posted on the newspaper column.
She squeezed over and took a look, feeling suddenly enlightened.
Some people started to promote democracy and freedom again, intending to incite students to cause trouble.
No wonder the teacher would arrange for students to go out for internship early, no wonder he didn't ask himself to return to school.
After coming out, she went to Zhou Yang and asked, "How did the teacher arrange for you?"
Zhou Yang looked outside and whispered: "An old friend of the teacher came to visit a few days ago. I don't know what he said. The teacher was so angry that he smashed a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets that he liked, and the two broke up unhappy.
Yes. The teacher told me yesterday that he asked me to take a class of undergraduate students on an internship, to go to some food factories, canneries, etc., and run around."
Then I am indeed receiving special care while studying and working in front of my own home.
I went home and asked my fourth master. He was about the same as him. His homework was the section of the Yellow River not far from his home. That was a research topic assigned by the teacher.
The little old lady was quite confused, "What's this all about? Going to school doesn't make anyone happy."
Lin Yutong also remembered that there was indeed one trouble this year, but it was only under control.
Since the teacher has arranged it this way, then the two of them will follow the arrangement. There is nothing inconvenient for them.
The only troubling thing is Qingning's schooling. Yes, it's time for Qingning to go to school. She will be in the first grade of elementary school in the second half of the year. She went to a preschool in the city, and then she had to go back to her hometown to go to school. This was a big deal.
.
Qingning was very happy, she was familiar with her hometown.
She knew most of them. When she heard that they would go back to school, she jumped three feet high and started to use her pocket money to buy things for Qingping and her to use for school, such as schoolbags, pencils, pencils, eraser books, everything she could think of.
Went up.
All that worry disappeared in the child's smiling face.
As for the fact that the teaching quality in urban schools is definitely better than that in rural areas, it doesn't matter to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.
Don’t think that you will have more things to do when you go back and less things to do when you come back.
In fact, it's not the same thing at all. People from this generation have a disconnected relationship with their hometown.
For example, the weddings and funerals of the neighbors, the marriage of the children, and the affairs of relatives and friends, can Fourth Master and Lin Yutong ignore it just because they are outside?
That will be scolded.
Not only do you have to take care of it, sometimes you have to go back in person for very important things. For example, He Xiaowan gave birth to a daughter in February. As an uncle and aunt, you have to go back. For example, the second aunt Erju’s son got married.
This is no different from others, the two of them must definitely go there in person. Another example is the matter at the Meng family's uncle's house. The six uncles are marrying their son's daughter-in-law and giving their grandson a full moon, almost one after another. This matter is too dense.
It’s not realistic to go back all of them, but it’s also unrealistic to not go back at all. As I was picking my way back, I felt that there were too many arrangements to make. Not to mention things like neighbors and weddings, just ask the second child’s family to bring the gift money.
But similar to some funerals, someone from Fourth Master and Tongtong has to take the initiative to show up. For example, if someone is seriously ill, they have to take the time to come back and have a look.
So, people say that it is difficult to survive, but it is difficult to survive. Ordinary people, when they reach middle age and have children and elders, they have reached a difficult place. No matter what they are doing, they have to think about it before and after.
Doing things as one pleases is not the character and temperament of this generation.
If you really want to eat commercial food outside, just live your own life outside, haha, listen to what people outside will say.
People say, just wait. The fourth child’s family also has a son and a daughter who are getting married. He also has his mother and Tong’s milk that will be sent to the cemetery in the future. Who will carry it for him in the future? Himself.
Just carry it on your back.
A person's reputation is also managed.
What's more, not only do you have to go back and deal with these personnel matters, you also have to deal with a lot in the provincial capital.
This family came here to see a doctor. They said they were not familiar with the provincial capital. So and so in our village is in the provincial capital. Let’s go to him. Sometimes these people don’t go through the Jin family at all. Don’t they know the school of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong?
Before I came here, I sent a telegram saying what time they would arrive and what time the bus would arrive. Then it was gone. There was not even a payment.
Lin Yutong had to deal with this problem once a month. It was embarrassing to come, and sometimes he had to force himself to come. Many people had never left the county town in their lives, and they would get lost when they went to the provincial capital. They always felt that they had acquaintances to help them.
Okay. Lin Yutong picked the person up, and Lin Yujian put a car here. It was convenient to use, otherwise the person would be exhausted. Then he arranged a guest house, and they said it wouldn't be so troublesome, just stay at home.
Of course not!
Not only did she say that it was awkward for her family to live at home, she just said that everyone knew what Lao Chao had done. She could guarantee that from now on it would no longer be a matter of a telegram, but someone would really come to her door.
Therefore, I would rather spend more money and stay in a guest house affiliated with the university. The conditions are not that good, but they are not bad. With a student ID, I can easily book a room. Then I can order a meal, wash and rest, and then bring
I will contact the hospital and go with him for a check-up. If he is not seriously ill and his mood is better, he will go out for a walk with him, visit shopping malls, wholesale markets, etc.
A three-day trip to the provincial capital will be enough for them to talk about for half a year after they return.
If the fourth master were not here, these things would all be Lin Yutong's business. This does not include the cadres below who come to the provincial capital for meetings. Anyway, they are socializing every now and then, and I feel busier than at my hometown.
When you go to school, you seem to be capable of anything in the eyes of the people around you.
Unless these people are of little use if they travel far away, we will never be able to get rid of this kind of trouble.
This is just like Fenglan at the county hospital. The Jin family has troubled others a lot. The same goes for other people in the village. They don't look for anyone but Fenglan. Everything in the hospital is arranged by Fenglan.
My home here has almost become the office of Taiping Third Village in the provincial capital.
While talking about this matter, the fourth master received another telegram the next day, saying that he was called to pick it up.
Fourth Master received the few people who came this time very well. These people are all very close to Jin Lao Er. What are they here for? We plan to buy a walking tractor together with a few people.
It is very difficult to buy agricultural machinery these days, and even the county town has no stock in stock.
Found the provincial capital.
The Fourth Master told them the truth: "...there is no need to buy a new one. No matter where it is a second-hand car, just get one first, use it for three to five years and then sell it, and you won't lose much. Cars,
If you buy it back, it will become second-hand immediately." What's more, if several people bought it together, if one of them is bad, it will be a dispute. "...Besides, there should be no more agricultural vehicles in this city in the future.
… Even if you want to use it as a transport vehicle during the off-season, it won’t work…”
It seems reasonable.
But is it so easy to find a used car?
Fourth Master inspected two real scrapped cars and spent a total of only a few dozen yuan. Then he overhauled the engine. All the missing parts were bought in the provincial capital and patchworked here and there.
A car came.
It didn't take a hundred to solve the problem.
Ouch! I praised the Fourth Master over and over again. Who wouldn’t say that the Fourth Master is honest?
Anyway, it held up the dick's face.
Because of this, when the second brother was preparing to revise the land at the shooting range, good guys, young men of all sizes, and more than a hundred people gathered together. Those who had cars coming, each with their tools, followed them.
.
A thousand acres of orchard, how much labor does it take to cultivate it into its proper state?
The second child would be worried to death. But there are more than a hundred people here to help, and they don’t need any money. The average person has less than ten acres of land. To a strong young man, ten acres of land is nothing. It only lasts a few days.
It's neatly trimmed.
If we plant fruit trees next year, we still have time to plant some autumn crops this year.
By the time Fourth Master and Lin Yutong packed up their things and came back with their children, food had already been planted there.
The little old lady said to Lin Yutong: "Look! Don't find it troublesome. If you didn't have those troubles, you would have to trouble yourself now. Who is not busy with autumn planting? Isn't everything taken care of and done for you? If there is a way
, who wants to trouble others? You can’t even bear it. If you receive others well and save their face, they will be willing to give you a little more face outside. If you let the spring breeze, there will naturally be autumn rain, right?
That’s not true.”
I'm just complaining! It's not like I really don't understand anything.
Anyway, after I come back, I can meet enthusiastic acquaintances wherever I go. Let’s buy some food when I go out. I’m going to start cooking.
There are also some growing in the back, but Yingzi’s canteen uses them a lot, so I picked them all today. Yingzi shouted and asked to go to the canteen to get them. Lin Yutong said I took them and you still have to buy them. Isn’t it different who buys them? You are busy with your business.
Go ahead and leave me alone.
I went to the market and came back with two big baskets without paying a penny.
The people who buy food are all the aunties around here. If they can't eat what they grow at home, they bring it over. The workers in the factory can buy it, and sometimes they even cook it themselves if they don't have a stove.
I saw Lin Yutong buying vegetables. This one stuffed a handful of onions, that one stuffed a handful of garlic, and I’ll give you some tomatoes. The ones grown at home are not sour, so go back and give them to the children. The one said there are so many cucumbers that they probably won’t be able to sell them all, so here they are for you.
Take it, it's half a basket.
After taking it back, Lin Yutong was so scared that she didn't dare to buy groceries anymore.
He Xiaowan brought Qingjuan over and smiled: "I came here to tell you that I have a lot of crops over there. Go and get it from me tomorrow." After saying that, she gave Qingning the crispy melon in the basket and said, "Eat it.
Go ahead. It’s so sweet.”
This year, tap water was installed under the grape trellis in the yard. My second son was at home to take care of the installation. Not only did he install one for the yard and kitchen, but he also had someone press the button on the water urn in the toilet.
There was also a specially built cement pool in the yard. Qingning was tall and could reach it by standing on tiptoes. She took the white melon in her hand and turned on the faucet to wash it. The water would definitely splash out, but it was summer, so it was okay.
Little girls love to wear skirts, especially those white tutu skirts that are particularly popular. The material is uncomfortable, but for little girls, it is beautiful and good-looking.
When Lin Yutong came back, he bought one pair each for Qingping and Qingning. Qingping was very happy to wear it. He pinched the hem of the skirt coquettishly and tried to make the skirt look like a lady princess. But Qingning couldn't do it. She gave it a try.
I took it off in disgust and changed into a small cotton gown and shorts made by the little old lady, revealing her slender white arms and legs.
When water splashed on her body, she just looked down and ignored it. She washed the melon, shook it in her hand, and took a careful bite.
Why be careful?
Because she has started to lose her teeth? Before she came back, she lost one of her front teeth, and now it has grown to half its full size. But the tooth on the side that was not lost was shaky and refused to fall out, and another one came up from the bottom. She did not dare to eat.
Careless, afraid of accidentally stumbling on a tooth.
The little old lady said, "It's okay, it's better if it falls off. Otherwise, if it doesn't fall off, the teeth pushing up from the bottom will become crooked..." The front teeth are not good-looking, but they are extremely ugly.
It's ugly! But it doesn't hurt.
If it falls off naturally, it will definitely hurt.
Anyway, she is very assertive. No matter what anyone says, she will not listen if she should not, and there is nothing anyone can do against her.
Lin Yutong glanced at it, then looked away, and continued talking to He Xiaowan. It's not that weird for children to change their teeth. Most of them can grow neatly as they grow.
He Xiaowan teased Qingning and asked her, "Is it sweet?"
Qing Ning is sucking the juice from the melon. This is the most delicious thing, "Sweet! It's ripe."
This melon is crispy and sweet, and it is really delicious. I don’t know its scientific name, but the locals call it 'White Rabbit'. When ripe, it turns white and is delicious from skin to flesh. It is different from those foreign melon varieties that were introduced later.
It's different. It's delicious, but the yield is low, the shelf life is short, and it can't be stored and transported easily. It's okay to grow it at home and sell it at home, but it's difficult to transport it out.
Just in time, Qingning's voice suddenly came out, "Last year, we ate the melons grown by my grandfather. My grandfather planted them for us every year... Before I came back, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat them this year. Who would have thought otherwise?"
Auntie planted it..."
He Xiaowan was stunned: "Do you remember this?"
Children's memories are sometimes very short, and they forget things quickly. I didn't expect this girl to have such a good memory.
She laughed: "Maybe she is right. The two eldest girls in our family are going to have trouble... I also said that Qingping has a good memory. She can remember all the stories her father and mother told her, and the Allegro
I learned storytelling by following the radio, and I talked about one thing after another. Not only did I have a good brain, but I also had a sharp tongue. Qing Ning was away from home for a year, and he didn’t even know about it. This is another person with a good memory..."
Qingning chuckled: "I don't have a good memory like my sister..." After saying that, she took the melon and ran out to find Qingpingwan.
Lin Yutong just said to He Xiaowan: "Don't worry about that girl, she will be wild when she comes back." As she said this, she reached out to hug Qingjuan. The child had big eyes, was thin and laughed when teased, and was half a year old. She took the child and said
, "There is also a stroller and a walker at home. You can take them over when they are free and use them first."
He Xiaowan agreed, and then talked about going to see Lao San, "... He said it's good there. Now he's in charge of cleaning. There are many people in the prison, and there's a big truckload of garbage every day. They've arranged it."
The three of us go out every day. He comes in and out quite freely. I went and stayed there for two nights. There is a room for visiting relatives."
But that is not something that everyone can apply for easily.
Lin Yutong nodded, "Don't be anxious, take your time. As long as people don't suffer, it's easy to say whatever you want." Then he asked He Xiaowan, "You were pregnant with the child before, and I didn't ask you. What do you think about you going to work on a pig farm?"
?The work is very simple. Whether it is planting or harvesting crops in the field, it is easy for a whole family to get started. Even doing odd jobs, you can do it if you have time."
This is of course good. The second brother must have helped with heavy tasks such as watering the ground. Most of the fifth brothers also helped, and it was their mother-in-law who urged them behind.
If you can get some salary every month, that would be the best thing.
"They won't say anything, right?" she asked in a low voice.
"We're going to expand the scale, who's going to say anything?" I still have a little bit of face. Now it's Qian Cuicui who's in charge.
The two sisters talked for a while, and He Xiaowan got up and said, "I'm going to mom's place quietly. Qinghui had some diarrhea yesterday. Let's go see if she's feeling better today."
Lin Yutong followed suit and said, "I'll go too. I'll go over and see you the day I come back. I haven't paid attention to it in the past two days."
When he walked out of the door, he called Qingning, "Will you go to see your breasts? Qingping, will you go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two children ran out from next door.
Qingping called to Yingzi who was in a small restaurant in the alley: "Mom, I went to see my breasts with my aunt."
Yingzi responded from the front and said, "Tell your aunt to go over and lock the door."
Then Lin Yutong went over and locked the door to the second son's house, and pressed the key under the brick on the window sill according to the custom of the second son's house.
Sometimes she doesn't understand, what's the point of locking the door like this?
Every household seems to have the habit of 'hiding' keys like this.
But obviously everyone nearby knows this habit, and they all know where they put it.
Tell me, what's the point of locking a door?
It seems as if you are guarding against strangers rather than acquaintances.
After locking the door, I took my children for a stroll and headed to the old house.
After being away from home for half a year, there have been quite a few changes. The most obvious change is that the two houses across from each other have built a large house with blue bricks and tiles. Needless to say, when these two houses were installing beams, it was definitely the second son and Yingzi who helped their own side.
Gift money.
It seems that I need to settle the accounts carefully when I get back. My second brother must have advanced a lot for my family in terms of favors.
Things like building beams for a house opposite the door are serious matters that cannot be ignored.
First it was Taohua's house, and then Aunt Song's house, which was neatly built.
He Xiaowan whispered: "In recent years, more land has been contracted, and the money collected by Murakami has increased. In addition, the factory is here, so the market should make a lot of money. Look at Zhang Lang's family, all the sons are
It’s a blue brick house. Yuan Gai’s brother is not the same. Not only did she build it well for herself, but she also built it for her parents’ family.”
Just as she was talking, Peach Blossom Girl came out with a basin of water, and Lin Yutong quickly said hello. Peach Blossom Girl poured the water at the door, "Here comes Tong, come over later to eat watermelon...the ones grown at home are so sweet..."
Lin Yutong responded, turned his face, saw his mother-in-law coming out, and quickly took two steps over, "The sun is so big, why is it out?"
Just as she was talking, she heard Aunt Song's voice coming from her house, "It's opposite...it's very hot. Come over here to enjoy the cool air. Our hall has ventilation on both sides, so it's very cool!"
Lin Yutong looked back and saw only his voice but no one.
Looking back at my mother-in-law's dark face, I realized that she was showing off in front of her mother-in-law.
Look at other people’s blue-brick houses, look at the old house of Lao Jin’s family. The thatched cottages were demolished and left empty, and then there was only the Baosha. It was not very cool in the sun, and there was not even a place to enjoy the cool air in the yard.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Qingning spoke, "Hey! My dad went to the county town to buy you a fan. He will be back in a while. It will be cool when you use it. No matter whether it is windy outside or not
