"You said, these years, the family has lacked her to eat and wear. How come the older I get, the less sensible I become?" Sister Lin wiped away her tears.
Mother Lin held the eldest daughter's hand and talked privately in the bedroom.
The eldest daughter's hands are full of holes. I heard that they were caused by freezing while working part-time as a hotel kitchen cleaner after get off work. Not to mention the calluses on the palms, which are loose and rough skin, which makes people feel distressed.
Back then, the three daughters were as big as three onions. Now, let’s not talk about the second daughter. She was just a little girl. Now she can’t see her, and she doesn’t know what has happened in the past two years. She only looks at the three.
My daughter, those hands are as white as jade. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old can't take care of her hands as well as hers.
Although everyone has their own fate and their own paths are chosen by themselves. How they live their lives now is their own business. No one can blame them, but how can a mother not feel uncomfortable?
"Having children is like this, with endless worries. Didn't your dad, me, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law disapprove of your marriage back then? Did you insist on it..." Mother Lin talked about the past again.
It happened. The young man who I wanted to introduce to Sister Lin has now quit his job in the factory and opened a butcher shop in the free market. The business is also good. He bought a small truck for hauling goods. Not only is he divided into a house, but also a house.
He said that he even bought a house and his life was prosperous. I heard that a few years ago, he made as little as 10,000 yuan just by contacting the factory employees. After the Chinese New Year, he opened more than one branch. The father of his child
Mom, when she saw them, she was filled with a bright and uncomfortable pride. She never forgot to show off her son. It was just to get a breath of the past. She didn’t know how many times she regretted it, no matter what happened back then.
, all children should be stopped. After all, children are not sensible, so why should adults let their children be so free?
Of course, it's too late to say this now.
Sister Lin didn't listen to this and said: "My child's father is very good to me. He has never blushed in these years, and he is not the kind of person who refuses to work hard."
But it doesn’t tell you to live a good life.
Mother Lin sighed and took the chilblain ointment Lin Yutong gave her to wipe on Sister Lin's hands, "The world has changed, and honest people have suffered."
In the past, when looking for a partner, I always looked for an honest person. Being cunning was associated with being dishonest and was not popular with others.
But in today's society, just being honest and willing to put in effort is not enough.
But you can't say this, because if you say it, you will get angry.
"Yusheng, that kid is very clever. At this moment, the sisters can't decide which restaurant to eat at? Didn't you listen? What kind of chicken? Or a foreign restaurant." Mother Lin patted Sister Lin's hand and gave it to her.
Be relieved.
Sister Lin said: "Mom! Why are these good children put together? Look at Yusheng, Zhensheng, and Yesheng. Do their families have no money? Yes! But look at those three children, they are so concerned about face.
Are you a person? I heard that Yusheng always goes to the free market to buy clothes. Clothes costing only a few yuan are not too cold."
Mother Lin thought to herself, that is because people have confidence in their hearts. Children are at ease in their hearts and don't care about the vanity on the surface. The more people don't have it, the more face they have.
But the world outside now is a world based on face.
When going out to discuss business, you should respect your clothes first and then the person. Otherwise, why would the youngest change cars properly? It is not for the convenience of discussing business.
Children never know the difficulties of adults, and they think that all the money in the family comes from strong winds.
If parents have the conditions, if they have any good things, they will be presented to them long ago. There is no need for them to make any fuss.
Inside, the mother and daughter were talking. The fourth master who was outside glanced at Ye Sheng and Zhen Sheng, "You two, go and take a look. The little girl will easily suffer a loss outside."
This was because he was worried that Yusheng would follow Dandan out.
His own child still needs to be coaxed, but now he has to coax others. The fourth master is not happy.
The two brothers responded, put on their coats and went out.
Xiaowei followed him out and said, "I'll follow you." He didn't want to stay in the atmosphere at home.
When Yusheng went out, he didn't even have to run. He took two quick steps to catch up with Dandan. She is now 1.7 meters tall, and she has long legs and a long stride when she steps out.
"Sister Dandan!" Yusheng went out with Dandan, "Let's go have dinner first. Those who celebrate the New Year are your classmates, and I'm afraid they are also visiting relatives."
Dandan touched his body, but his face still looked ugly, "I didn't bring any money."
Yu Sheng thought to himself: No matter how powerful you are, you are just looking at the beginning and not the end.
She pulled Dandan away slowly and asked, "Sister Dandan, why do you need a car?"
Dandan glanced to the side and said nothing.
Yusheng stopped asking further questions and started asking Dandan about her work.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master had a simple meal at Lin's house and drove home. After Fourth Master arrived home, he was restless and kept looking at his watch, "From now on, don't ask Yusheng to take care of Dandan's affairs."
Lin Yutong responded. It is true that Yusheng should not be concerned about Dandan's affairs. But Fourth Master's attitude of blindly protecting Yusheng is actually somewhat inappropriate.
"In today's world, men and women are the same. If we blindly protect our children, in the future..." Before Lin Yutong finished speaking, the fourth master waved his hand, "I know. But this relationship also depends on the person you are dating."
I really look down on Dandan.
The Fourth Master is the kind of person who takes filial piety very seriously. The Fourth Master doesn't like Dandan's attitude towards his parents.
But when the three children came back, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master both frowned.
"She said she wanted to use my house to hold a class reunion." Yusheng took off his outer coat and sighed, "She probably wants to make herself look fat in front of her classmates."
Lin Yutong wanted to call Sister Lin, "This is absolutely not possible."
That is a new house, and my children have never lived in it for a day.
Besides, we can't spoil her like this.
"Mom!" Ye Sheng took Lin Yutong's hand, "Don't worry, we didn't borrow it. While they were talking, I pulled the switch and turned off the heating valve. It's a holiday now and the property management company is not working.
It was a matter of help. There was no power or heating, and there was no way to treat people. We found a hotel for her, booked a room, and called her grandma. When my uncle sent my aunt over, we handed Sister Dandan into her hands.
I just came back."
Zhensheng took a cup and drank water, "However, aunt insisted on giving us the money to rent a room, but we didn't ask for it."
"Well done!" Fourth Master said, looking at Yusheng, "If Dandan comes to you again for money or a house, don't give it to her. That's not helping her, it's harming her."
The three children said they understood.
Lin Yutong saw that the three of them were not eating well, "What do you want to eat? I will cook it for you."
"Sauerkraut fish, okay?" Yusheng said, asking Zhensheng and Yesheng for their opinions.
"Sure!" the two of them responded, slobbering together.
The fourth master didn't eat well at the Lin family, and the Chinese New Year was extremely miserable. "Make more." He also wanted to eat.
Then this is something that a pickled fish can't get rid of.
No matter how many bad things happen, life still has to move on.
Before school started on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, these three little ancestors went out to do something again.
Lin Yutong came back that day. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard singing coming from his house, "The long road is dedicated to the distance, the rose is dedicated to love, what can I give to you, my people..."
The sound is obviously different from that of my own tape recorder.
When I entered the house, I saw that new furniture and a stereo system had been added to the living room.
"The effect of CDs is much better than tapes, right? Mom and Dad." Ye Sheng turned around and asked.
"Did you buy it?" Fourth Master asked.
Zhensheng nodded, "We bought it. The sound quality is really good."
Fourth Master nodded, "Tell your mother to give you the money later."
Lin Yutong also nodded. He added something big to the family, but he couldn't afford it under certain conditions. He shouldn't use his children's money.
Lin Yutong gave a lot at once, "I bought all the CDs I liked. I put those tapes away. I saw if your dad wanted to listen to any Peking operas, so I bought them together. I don't know if there are any Peking opera CDs now."
"
"I'll go look for it." Yusheng smiled cheerfully, "You will spoil us bad."
"When did your dad and I get reluctant to spend the money we should spend?" Lin Yutong nodded Yusheng's forehead. However, he still solemnly told Ye Sheng, "It's okay to buy your rock music, but don't play it at home. I'll tell you
Your dad can't stand that, and the neighbors can't stand yours either."
"I'll go to the concert later." Ye Sheng said, intoxicated: "Listening to the live version will definitely be more exciting."
"You have nothing?" Fourth Master shook his head, "You should take it easy, I can't appreciate those things of yours."
"Where? Dad, you are behind the times now." Ye Sheng was about to argue with Fourth Master. Lin Yutong stopped him and said, "Sure, we never care about your good things."
But it is really wrong to say that your dad is outdated! Your dad is already fashionable enough. If he really went to hot rock, Lin Yutong felt that he would hit a wall.
Fourth Master snorted, took out a new CD, walked over and turned on the stereo.
"In the distant night sky, there is a crescent moon. Under the crescent moon is the crooked bridge. Next to the bridge is a crooked boat. The crooked boat is the Gillian of childhood——
"
"Uh..." Zhensheng said in surprise, "Whose song is this? It sounds so good, why haven't I heard it?"
"It must have just come out." Yusheng hummed, and then said to Lin Yutong: "Mom, you are not as good as my dad. My dad's mentality is like a twenty-year-old! You are really behind the times if you continue to do this. There are still girls in our class
I think my dad is handsome and more interesting than Zhensheng Yesheng."
Lin Yutong said in his heart that these songs are "old songs". If he really hums this song all the time, he would be really out of date.
There is a kind of avant-garde that you have never heard of.
There is a kind of fashion that you have never seen before.
She was too lazy to argue with these 'old antiques'.
