729. The old film of the Republic of China (16) three in one
Old Movies of the Republic of China(16)
I have seen this woman wearing a kimono and speaking Japanese, so it is not difficult to guess her identity. Even if she is not a Japanese, she is a traitor who has surrendered to the Japanese a long time ago. It is really not a good thing to be involved like this.
Therefore, Lin Yuhuai glanced at the check handed over by the woman and said inexplicably: "Why do you give me a piece of paper?"
"Sir, this is a check. You can go to the bank..." The woman smiled and explained, and the people around her who knew her could not help but laugh kindly.
"I don't know him. I've never seen him before!" Lin Yuhuai shook his head, hugged Lin Dehai and strode away from the scene.
"Hey..." The woman shouted from behind. Seeing that Lin Yuhuai didn't seem to hear her, she turned into an alley on the side and disappeared without a trace.
The man in the car said: "Okay, Yoshiko. Put your kindness away."
The woman looked around with a smile, and then returned to the car helplessly. The smile on her face instantly dropped, "If you don't understand, don't talk. When the man was talking to us just now,
There are at least three Liba around who seem to be familiar with him. Some things cannot be done without relying on these Liba. Why do we have to use a whip when a small amount of money can solve the problem? Compared with the benefits we get, this small amount of effort is not worth it.
what?"
The man snorted lightly, but did not continue to speak.
The woman named Yoshiko glanced outside, and then said coldly: "Drive."
Lin Yuhuai did not take Lin Dehai to the hospital. Firstly, he did not have so much money with him. Secondly, in his opinion, other medical skills were simply unsatisfactory compared with his own sister. They could bring the last breath of people back from the gate of hell.
, is there any need to doubt such medical skills? Lin Dehai was drowsy, but when he opened his eyes and saw the way home, he was also relieved. Compared with those Western medicine doctors in the hospital who are always ready to operate with knives and saws, he is still
I believe in Chinese medicine more.
Before the father and son came back, the children playing at the door hurried back and informed their Mr. Lin. So as soon as Lin Yuhuai entered the door, he saw Lin Yutong waiting.
"Is this..." Lin Yutong took his first pulse, "A car accident?" Otherwise, it wasn't such an injury.
But why did we get into a car accident? Nowadays, the chance of getting into a car accident is lower than being kicked in the head by a donkey.
Lin Yuhuai put the person on the kang and said, "He did it all by himself. It wasn't the car that hit him, he was the one who hit the car!"
"Compensate..." Lin Dehai struggled and muttered, "compensate...money..."
"You still want to compensate?" Lin Yuhuai snorted, "If they don't let you compensate for the car, we should burn incense. If you still want others to compensate, you think everyone is a fool! Besides, what do you think about the people in the car?
Who can be blackmailed by you? If he is willingly blackmailed by you, then we have to be careful. Who knows what the plan is next? I beg you to be old, just rest at home, and go to Liu if you have nothing to do.
We don’t have anyone to stop us at the widow’s house, can you please calm down?”
This sentence made Lin Dehai extremely embarrassed: "I...help...help..."
Go to the widow's house to help? What help do you have?
Lin Yuhuai ignored him and looked at Lin Yutong who was busy holding the needle: "How is it? It's not a big deal."
Lin Yutong grimaced: "I almost collapsed on the kang. It's hard to say how I can recover." As he said that, he carried Lin Dehai and winked at Lin Yuhuai.
Lin Yuhuai understood, but the expression on his face was a bit relieved: "It's better to be paralyzed! It's better to be paralyzed! You can save yourself from going out and causing trouble for me." He turned around and walked out as if he had no patience to stay in the room.
"You take care of it here, I'll go have a word with my brother-in-law."
Lin Dehai pointed at Lin Yuhuai's back and breathed heavily, with aggrieved eyes as if he expected Lin Yutong to make the decision for him. Lin Yutong's hand was so strong that Lin Dehai hissed, tears almost came down, and he whimpered.
I almost lost my life this time, and the debt of two hundred yuan is still unpaid.
Lin Yutong ignored him. When Xingzi came in, he warned her, "Don't ask for help. I'll go back and prescribe the prescription. I'll ask for the medicine when I get it."
Xingzi responded and got up to see Lin Yutong out. Mother Lin came out of the room opposite and whispered: "I will take care of him. Don't ask Xingzi to come forward."
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and he understood in his heart. After all, Xingzi was not Lin Dehai's biological daughter. It was really inconvenient to wait and eat, drink, and have sex at close quarters. But if he had to wait on his biological daughter... he would rather spend money to hire someone.
.This so-called father-daughter relationship is really not that close.
Before Xingzi could react, Lin Dehai inside was able to speak again after using the needle. It must have been because he heard Mother Lin's words, "I don't need you to serve me. If you are really serious, just bring Widow Liu."
"
Mother Lin leaned against the door and snorted coldly, "How about I send you to Widow Liu's house and ask him to serve you and eat and drink?"
"Okay!" Lin Dehai immediately agreed, "You ask Huaizi to come back and send me there now. I have been willing to stay here for a long time. I feel jealous when I see you."
Xingzi's face turned pale, but Lin Yutong seriously thought about the possibility of this matter. The couple had long been inseparable, and they couldn't live together if they just got together like this and made so much noise. Although divorce is not popular nowadays.
, the concept of concubinage has not disappeared from the stage of history. But it is really difficult for people like Lin Mu and Lin Dehai to hate each other to death, but have to tolerate living under the same roof.
Therefore, after she returned home, she saw that Fourth Master and Lin Yuhuai had finished talking in the main room, so she directly mentioned it to Lin Yuhuai, "When you get older, you need to live a comfortable life. Asking E Niang to serve Ama is really not a good idea.
It's not over until you get up. So what's going on with Widow Liu..."
Lin Yuhuai was stunned by Lin Yutong's thoughts and didn't know what to say.
But Lin Yutong said, "This family is so noisy, who dares to marry a daughter into our family? Xingzi is becoming a big girl every day. The girl's family is very prestigious, and she is yelled at and scolded by Amma all day long.
It's not a big deal. Yangzi is also old, and it will be embarrassing when he is older. Instead of looking at each other like this and hating each other, it is better to keep them apart."
Lin Yuhuai showed an expression that was hard to explain: "This Widow Liu is not a bad person. The year when E Niang left, this Widow Liu's man was working hard at the train station and was exhausted. She didn't have a woman.
The child was kicked out by her husband's family. The fifth aunt acted as a matchmaker, and she was talking about Amma. The marriage was already agreed, but then Eniang came back. This matter... I stopped it. Over the years, Ahma
It’s not that Ma didn’t earn a penny, but all the money she earned was given to Widow Liu, and she even bought a small yard. Although it was remote and dilapidated, it was still a nest. As for Widow Liu, she hasn’t found anyone in these years.
One of them washes and mends people's clothes, so he can keep his stomach full. No one expected that these two people have been living in such a muddle-headed way for so many years. Everyone around here also knows it, and I also know it in my heart.
It seemed like it, but no one found out."
Lin Yutong looked at Lin Yuhuai, "In this case, why are you still hesitating? Give Widow Liu three yuan a month, and if she is willing, send the master over. If you have a headache and a fever, we will take care of you and take medicine. As long as she will
The old man was taking care of her, and she felt relaxed, and so did the old man. E Niang was also comfortable at home, and Xingzi and Yang Zi also straightened their backs. Hello, good to me, good to everyone, what can't you do?
It’s done.”
Lin Yuhuai rubbed his teeth and asked, "Why don't you let your biological father go out?" This is not the right thing to do.
"It's not about throwing him out, it's about this home..." Just as Lin Yutong was talking, footsteps came from outside, followed by Xingzi's shouts: "Brother, sister, hurry up and take a look, father and mother are fighting.
.”
Lin Yuhuai's expression changed, "These two people are really like each other."
The fourth master watched Lin Yuhuai go out and urged Lin Yutong: "Go and see if you are sick or injured, you can fight and get into trouble." He is the son-in-law, so it is better not to go see him and make a fool of himself.
.
Lin Yutong responded and chased out. There was already a circle of people around the door of the house. The fifth aunt and her family lived in the side room opposite Lin's house, and the third uncle Lin lived in the main house. They all gathered around.
Mother Lin's hair was messy, there were blood marks on her face, and her tears were falling down: "Lin Dehai, you are a bastard, you know how to cheat children. Who can you deserve after you owe so many debts? You have lost all these years.
If you don’t take it home, I have raised you for several years, Huaizi has raised you for these years, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs. I will sell Widow Liu’s small yard later..."
"How dare you!" Lin Dehai half-climbed on the edge of the kang and slapped the kang, "She is much better than you, a mediocre person. I bought it for her. I am happy with it, and you have nothing to do with it!"
Even if I sell my life for money, I will never let you touch her hair. If you don't believe me, try it. If you can't kill me, I will strangle you to death."
This is so embarrassing!
Lin Yutong helped Mrs. Lin back. Seeing that her body was fine, she went to see Lin Dehai again, "This rib is broken, don't mess around."
Lin Yuhuai waved his hand to Lin Yutong: "You go back first, I will take care of things at home." Then he said to Xingzi, "Go to her place with your sister first, and then you can get the medicine after prescribing."
This is to send them away, and I don’t want their sisters to listen.
When they returned to the house, Fourth Master had already gone to the study. Xingzi pulled Lin Yutong and whispered: "Sister, I don't want to go to middle school anymore, I want to do something."
"What are you doing?" Lin Yutong pointed to a stool on one side and asked her to sit down, "What are you doing?"
"Last time I ate everyone's braised pork, it tasted so good." Xingzi raised her head quickly, "Sister, I'll use your recipe to braise the pork and give you a share. After deducting the cost, how about we split it in half? I'll forget it.
, when the braised pork is ready, you don’t need a shop. You just carry a basket and sell it on the streets. You don’t go to other places, just around here. No matter who you are here, you have to give the big brother some money.
I don’t dare to bully me because of my face. I sell twenty or so kilograms of braised pork offal a day, and I still earn two or three cents. After this month, I earn more than ten yuan, which is as much as my elder brother’s salary.
.With this money, my family will feel comfortable."
This is really a good idea.
"I'm just very tired." Lin Yutong looked at Xingzi with pity, "I don't want anything from you either. Just stay here tonight and I'll teach you braised pork." They didn't want to rely on themselves to subsidize them all the time.
As they were talking here, Lin Yutong had already written out the prescription, "Go get the medicine first and come over in the evening." He gave her another handful of money.
After Xingzi was sent out, Fourth Master came out and said, "Today Huaizi told me that he met a Japanese in Liulichang."
It was not strange to meet Japanese people. Lin Yutong asked Fourth Master: "Is there anything strange?"
"I'm afraid they are here for the cultural relics." As the fourth master spoke, he stuffed the used draft paper into the stove and burned it, and then said: "Huaizi said that the Japanese came from Dong Fan's shop today.
It came out."
"You mean Dong Fan and the Japanese?" Lin Yutong looked at the flames on the stove and had a bad feeling in his heart, "Isn't it?"
"It's hard to say!" Fourth Master snorted, "This Dong Fan is a standard egoist. It depends on whether he knows that these people are Japanese. Moreover... he has met Huaizi, and today Huaizi is in Liulichang again.
I am afraid that someone in Liulichang knows my father-in-law, and it is not difficult to find Huaizi. As long as we find Huaizi, it will not be difficult to find us. We still need to keep an eye on this person."
Why is it so difficult to have a peaceful life?
In the middle of the afternoon, not only did Xingzi come, but Mother Lin also came out of the house and followed her.
"Has the family settled down?" Lin Yutong asked the mother and daughter.
Xingzi glanced at Mother Lin and then said in a low voice: "The eldest brother called a car and sent dad to Aunt Liu. Two yuan a month, rice, noodles and oil... Dad's food and drink are given to our family on a monthly basis."
.”
Mother Lin curled her lips: "This woman has always been shrewd. This is because she has figured out your brother's temper and knows that he will not bear the grievance of kissing me. How about giving food to me, where can I find the right one? It will only be more, not less. Just give me more."
Yes, it’s enough for her to chew. These two dollars won’t just fall into her own pocket. She can coax your Ama to buy her a house, and sometimes coax you to buy some small jewelry, more than ten dollars.
Over the years, I have saved a lot. Now, thanks to you, Amma, I have earned enough money for retirement..."
"Mom!" Xingzi looked at Lin Yutong's face carefully, and then said: "She is a woman with no children, no daughters, and no husband. If she doesn't even have this little selfishness, she would be a fool. You are different from her, it doesn't matter.
It’s like that.”
Mother Lin stopped talking.
Lin Yutong smiled and pulled Xingzi to the kitchen and told her how to braise pork. Mother Lin watched and learned with interest, and asked Lin Yutong in a low voice: "Have you told my uncle about this?"
"What's the matter?" Lin Yutong was a little confused.
Mother Lin looked at the study carefully and said, "This recipe is something that has been passed down from generation to generation. If you just give it to Xingzi, I will agree to it. You have thought about it, keep this recipe at home, and rely on this craftsmanship
, generation after generation cannot stand poverty."
If my child could survive by eating the old man's braised meat, he and the fourth master would have died head-on.
She waved her hand: "I can make the decision on this matter. It's okay!"
Only then did Xingzi realize how unreliable her request was. She was thinking of not asking her eldest sister to subsidize her, but she just took away the family heirloom golden doll: "Sister... I don't know."
Lin Yutong didn't care about this: "With this skill, you can straighten up wherever you marry in the future." The dowry is not as important as the skill.
In the evening, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of braised pork. Lin Yutong fished out some, cut it into pieces, and asked Xingzi to give some to his friends. When Lin Yuhuai and Yang Zi came back, they came directly. The meal was served by Lin Yutong.
Eat here.
At the dinner table, Lin Yuhuai and the fourth master had two drinks, and Lin Yutong heard the two whispering about Dong Fan.
"...He often sells some antique calligraphy and paintings to foreigners, and they are not all genuine. Most of them are old goods burned in wild kilns outside the city." Lin Yuhuai turned the wine glass in his hand and took another one.
He put a pile of money in front of Fourth Master and said, "Here's the two hundred yuan. It's not used. You can put it away."
The fourth master laughed: "Did you sell that porcelain piece?"
Lin Yuhuai laughed: "Yeah! The porcelain pieces were sold for two hundred and fifty yuan. I paid off the debt owed by the master and got dozens of dollars richer." After saying that, he gave the remaining money to Xingzi, "
This will give you the capital to do business."
Xingzi wiped her hands on her clothes again, then grabbed the money and didn't know what to do.
Lin Yutong added some soup to the fourth master, and Lin Yuhuai lowered his voice and said to the fourth master: "I met Dong Fan by the way today. This guy is very smart. He promised me that he doesn't know anything and won't say anything.
"
"Is it credible?" Fourth Master asked.
"His wife has never given birth. A few years ago, he raised a female student. Now he has two sons, both of whom are raised outside the house. He doesn't like to offend anyone, for fear of pushing someone into a hurry and attacking the children.
." Lin Yuhuai snorted, "Of course we can't do this, but he feels guilty. He told me that the woman who went to his store today has been asking about people who learn antique packaging in Liulichang."
"He said it?" Fourth Master said firmly.
Lin Yuhuai nodded: "The woman bought three thousand yuan worth of fake stuff in his store, and he told her everything about pouring beans through a bamboo tube."
Fourth Master frowned: "This person... is really untrustworthy. So... you can find time to see him again tomorrow and tell him that this may be an opportunity for him to go further. As long as the Japanese people are interested in cultural relics,
If he repays the favor to his master, it will be a great achievement for him. It will be more effective than giving him any treasure."
Lin Yuhuai suddenly realized: "This guy turns out to be an official fan. If so, it would be easy to handle. I will tell him to keep his mouth shut and not dare to say more than a word."
If we are on guard, nothing will happen. Then I heard that the bandits along the railway line had been attacked by real people. It goes without saying that this was to clear the way for cultural relics to move south.
This year’s New Year has arrived in such an atmosphere.
Rich people are very particular about celebrating the New Year. People without money have a really hard time celebrating the New Year.
Xingzi's braised pork business was particularly prosperous the year before. There are many delicious restaurants that must be booked in advance. The Lin family's yard is filled with the smell of braised pork every day. For several days in a row, the daily income has been around one yuan.
.Some people who can't afford meat come here with a cent or two to buy a jar of marinade and use the juice to stew a pot of cabbage and potatoes. It's also very fragrant. Even the Lin family is better.
Come here. Lin Yuhuai doesn’t charge any money and delivers a lot every day. In fact, braised pork must use an old soup base. The older the soup base, the better it tastes. Nowadays, we don’t pay attention to this anymore.
On New Year's Eve, some people had an early lunch, simply offered sacrifices, and then quickly posted the couplets.
When Lin Yutong and Fourth Master went out to post couplets, there was a man wearing a fur coat and fur hat standing in the yard. He rubbed his hands and looked at the door of this house and the door of that house. Behind him was a young man in his twenties.
, like a little boy. The two masters and servants, not talking about the Lin family, didn't know what they were doing wandering around the yard.
The two people also saw Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, so they came forward with smiles on their faces: "Are they Fourth Master Jin and Mr. Lin?"
Fourth Master nodded: "I wonder who you are looking for?"
"Ouch!" The man looked bitter, "You don't know how difficult it is to do business these days. We are also doing a business that relies on one hand for two families, but it's the end of the year... we can't collect the money.
Come up, you asked me how to deal with other people's creditors? Look, every household has posted couplets and closed the door to celebrate the New Year. What does this mean? According to the rules, if you have debts at the end of the year, you cannot collect debts at the beginning of the year.
After entering the twelfth lunar month gate, I came to remind me every day. I said that the debt could not be repaid, so I should settle the interest at least. These people promised well, but they just kept pushing back day by day, telling me that the end of the year
I must have done it before. Look, it’s only noon, and they started to celebrate the New Year as soon as they posted couplets. Where can I go to ask for debt? They are celebrating the New Year, and I can’t survive this year. How can I explain to others? Next year they will come again
I want to borrow money, where can I go to exchange it for them? It’s not difficult to borrow money and borrow it again, isn’t that true?” His voice was loud, as if he was afraid that the people who had borrowed the money but had not paid it back would not be heard. Then he whispered again.
He said, "Fourth Master Jin, we know that you are a wealthy owner. So, if you have any spare money, you can leave it to me, and I will never let you suffer any loss."
"Ouch! Who do I think you are?" Lin Yuhuai came out of the house, stood on the steps and leaned against the wall and sneered, "It turns out it's you donkey shit! What do you mean by shouting so loudly at my door?"
"It's Mr. Huai!" Lu Fen knows best who can offend and who can't offend. He has always stayed away from anyone who dares to risk his life. He clasped his fists and said, "Happy New Year to you! I'm not on an errand.
Isn't it over? What can I do? Poor man. If you have spare money, you can also give it to me. I will definitely be figured out by you. It's 'short position', 'plus five system', 'seed profit',
'According to the price', 'according to the price', any of those will do!"
"Short position", "plus five system", "seed profit", "post profit" and "price based" are all forms of loan sharking nowadays. The interest rate of the plus five system is five tenths per year. If you can't pay it back, you can
Rolling calculation is what everyone calls "rolling profit calculation". "Price-based" is even more cruel. According to the price, the price will be paid if it goes up or not. In March, the price will be returned in May, and if it is not paid in May, the price will be paid again. For example,
A landowner lent a farmer two stones and five bushels of sesame seeds last year, which he immediately converted into five stones of corn. The next summer harvest, the price of corn was high and the price of salt was low, and the corn was converted into six hundred kilograms of salt. In the autumn of the same year, the price of salt was low and the price of corn was soaring.
, and broke the salt into twenty-four stones of corn, and the interest in one year was four times the debt. The popular sayings of "one year's profit" and "one year's light" are referring to this usury based on the price. Because
This loan sharking has caused many families to be ruined and their lives to be ruined.
Lin Yuhuai chuckled: "I'm talking about donkey shit, you have done less dirty things in recent years. Just restrain yourself, don't really give birth to a son with no butt|eyes."
The annoyance on Lu Fen's face flashed away, he smiled awkwardly, held his hand to the Fourth Master and left neatly.
Lin Yuhuai said to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong this time: "This bastard has a dark heart. All the profit in our area is fighting profit. Who can resist this thing?"
Like Dou Li, you have to double the amount when you pay it back.
"Doubling a year?" Lin Yutong asked.
Lin Yuhuai shook his head: "It depends on how much you borrow. If you borrow less, it will double in a month."
That is to say, if you borrow one yuan this month, you have to pay back two yuan. If you don't pay it back, it will be four yuan in the third month, eight yuan in the fourth month, and so on.
This is too cruel!
"At the beginning of the year, we killed a whole family." Lin Yuhuai pointed out, "The old Zhao family in the alleyway borrowed three yuan when the man was sick, and it turned out to be a huge sum in half a year. This thing forced
The daughter-in-law went to the kiln to make money to pay off debts, and she also wanted to sell his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law agreed that day, but ended up going to the drugstore to buy a pack of rat poison and feed it to the man's child. She was killed in front of the house.
It is natural to pay back debts. Two people went to the police station to have a look, and the matter was over. There is no such thing as donkey excrement. Year after year, I still make less money."
Yang Zi stepped out from behind Huaizi and asked Fourth Master: "Is this the exploitation Mr. Bai said?"
Mr. Bai, I mean Bai Kun.
The Fourth Master nodded, if this is not considered exploitation, then what is. It’s not that the Labor Party is good at inciting people, and if their ideas don’t resonate, it’s useless for anyone to say anything. If you haven’t suffered from it, you don’t know the pain!
Nowadays, the Lin family school has become a propaganda ground for Bai Kun. Children like Yang Zi have an obvious tendency to hate in their hearts.
Lin Yuhuai smiled and patted Yang Zi, "Did you deliver the dumplings for Amma?"
Yang Zi nodded: "Sent it away. Life is pretty good over there. When I went there, I saw Aunt Liu making dumplings with mutton fillings." When she saw him coming in, she quickly covered them with a lid.
.
Lin Yuhuai said to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong: "You should go back quickly. It's very cold outside. It looks like it's going to snow again."
Even though the two families are next to each other, everyone celebrates New Year's Eve in their own way. The old rules cannot be broken. The Lin family is the Lin family, and the Yin family is the Yin family. In future generations, there will never be a situation where a son-in-law spends the New Year at his mother-in-law's house.
Lin Yutong returned to the house, and then divided the dumplings, cut meat, and cooked dishes that had been made long ago, and asked the fourth master to deliver them to Bai Kun and Bai Yuan's uncle and nephew.
In the evening, snow started to fall from the sky. Every household was celebrating the New Year at home. But the sound of firecrackers was rarely heard. The occasional ones seemed to be far away from here. Nowadays, during the New Year, having a dumpling meal is just the beginning of the New Year.
Many people don’t have a New Year’s Eve dinner. They save some good ones and have to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Lin Yutong didn't feel sorry for herself and her fourth master. Recently, she always smelled of braised meat, which was very disgusting. She only made leek fillings and pickled cabbage fillings for her own.
The two sat opposite each other, occasionally sipping a sip of wine. There was a strong fire in the room, and the warmth on the kang was warm.
"Everything is fine living like this, but I'm a little... lonely." The fourth master took a few sips of wine and felt a little dizzy, "You said it would be great if you had children, how lively the house would be right now."
People live their lives with hope. If people no longer have the heart to rush for their children, they will have no hope.
Lin Yutong looked at his belly: "You want a child? I'm really scared in this world."
"I'm just talking casually." Fourth Master waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you have children or not."
Lin Yutong counted on her fingers. If she waited for peace before having children, she and Fourth Master would only be in their thirties at that time, so it would not be too late. It would be completely late.
When she said this, Fourth Master laughed, "Why do you still take it seriously?"
This was just a momentary emotion, and was quickly forgotten.
When there was a lot of noise outside, Lin Yutong looked at his watch and saw that it was only three o'clock in the morning. There were already children laughing and making noise outside. It was really early enough to say New Year greetings at this time.
After getting up and freshening up, having breakfast, the fourth master went to open the door. At this time, a group of children were already waiting outside. They didn't mind the heavy wind and snow, so they all huddled under the corridor, waiting for the door to open.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Jin." The uneven shouts made Fourth Master feel sad, "Go in. Come in quickly."
These children stay here to pay New Year's greetings just because they know that life here is good and they can get some delicious food here. Now, going out to pay New Year's greetings is not like in later generations. No matter how poor the family is, there are still melon seeds, candies and the like. As long as people come,
Just eat it. This is different now. Even if you go to other people's houses with a good life, they won't put things outside. When someone close to you comes to the door with a child, you will open the cabinet and grab some for the child.
, it makes sense. As for giving New Year's money to the neighbor's children, that's even less so. I can't even fill my own stomach, so there's no point in that.
And children have their own wisdom. If they choose those families with good family backgrounds, good tempers, and good intentions, and go in groups to pay New Year greetings, they can always gain something.
Lin Yutong put all the melon seeds and peanuts in the main room for the children to grab, and then the steamed buns with white flour and large meat fillings were almost ready to be cooked in the kitchen pot. She did not give any new year's money to the children, but only gave out one steamed bun to each of them, which caused a burst of cheers.
.Some children couldn't wait to take a bite, and some children quickly covered it in their coats, saying that they were brought for their elders and left for their younger siblings.
Waiting for a group of children to leave, the fourth master laughed: "You are inviting wolves. If you don't believe it, just wait, and there will be another group in the blink of an eye."
Lin Yutong originally steamed these buns and asked his fourth master to take them to the Lin family's homes for New Year greetings. There was no need for snacks or drinks, there was nothing better than white-flour meat buns. But I saw so many children guarding the door. I don't know.
For how long, just for a little food, her heart softened, wow! She really asked the fourth master to talk, and groups of children came one after another. Some of them had heard the news and ran a long way.
Yang Zi wanted to chase him away, but Lin Yutong finally stopped him. He called Xingzi and Lin Mu to come over and help, and the pot kept steaming. There was no meat left, just steamed buns with white noodles. Anyway, on the first day of the new year, only six
Bag of flour.
"Ouch! You are a prodigal!" Mother Lin has been mumbling for a whole day. Nowadays, a bag of American flour costs 2.6 yuan, and 6 bags costs 15.6 yuan. And the meat costs 20 yuan a day.
More than anything.
From that day on, Fourth Master Jin had another nickname, Jin Dashanren.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we returned to our parents' home. When we got up early in the morning, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong carried steamed buns and walked around the Lin family's courtyard before returning to the wing where the Lin family lived.
Unexpectedly, Lin Dehai, who didn't come back even on New Year's Eve, would come back today.
"My uncle came to visit during the Chinese New Year in the first year. How could I not come back?" Lin Dehai sat at the top and looked a little fatter than before. It seemed that Widow Liu had taken good care of him.
Perhaps just because she saw her uncle coming to the door, Mother Lin didn't say anything to Lin Dehai, but was busy in front of the stove and ignored him.
The fourth master took a few more dollars and handed them directly to Lin Dehai: "I don't know what my father-in-law likes, so I didn't buy anything he couldn't use. You can keep the money and buy what you like."
The smile on Lin Dehai's face immediately grew stronger, and he even scolded Lin Yutong with a straight face: "Don't run out all the time. I don't care, but you can't go too far. It's better to spread the branches early."
.”
Mother Lin agreed with this: "Your mother is right." She also whispered in private: "Where can you find a son-in-law like my uncle? If he doesn't give birth to a child quickly, his heart will be tied up.
What can we do next?”
How come I am always reduced to the role of having to catch the Fourth Master, rather than the role that the Fourth Master must catch.
The Lin family really worked hard for my uncle to come to their house. Just this table of dishes cost several yuan. The atmosphere at the dinner table was also good. After drinking two glasses of wine, everyone became more relaxed. Huaizi asked some questions about the fourth master's life in the United States.
Regarding the matter, Mother Lin and Xingzi asked Lin Yutong how he had been living these years. The Fourth Master picked some things to talk about in the United States, but Lin Yutong only picked up what he had seen in the world, and started telling the story. As they talked, the topic came to Yang Zi again
The matter of going to school came up. Lin Yutong felt that with Yangzi's current progress, it would not be a problem to get into middle school. Just as he was talking lively, Yangzi suddenly raised his head and said: "Brother, brother-in-law, I don't want to go to school, I want to be a soldier."
.”
Being a soldier? Those two words are what scares the most about war and chaos!
Mother Lin suddenly dropped the chopsticks in her hand: "Be a soldier? What kind of soldier? If you want to be a errand, can't you ask your elder brother to find a job for you at the police station? Be a soldier... You can be anywhere in the world these days.
It’s such a mess, you’re going to kill me.”
Lin Dehai glanced at Yang Zi in surprise: "Oh, I really underestimate you! I always thought you were a bitch, but I didn't expect you to be quite a man. Okay! You have courage! If you really dare to carry a gun, I will accept it.
I will give you this son. It will be recorded in the Lin family’s genealogy, and you will be the descendant of my Lin family!”
