Chapter two hundred and seventieth ordinary people's life
It's another sunny Saturday.
Lin Zhiming's family got up early.
Because today I am going camping with Xu Chenxin and several other families, so the family got up a little earlier than usual.
After practicing and eating, the family went downstairs with their bags.
As soon as we arrived downstairs, Xu Chenxin's family's RV drove over.
"Where are the other families?" Lin Zhiming walked into the car and asked curiously.
"They went from other places and arranged to meet on the mountain." Xu Chenxin said.
"I didn't expect you to be able to drive this car." Lin Zhiming smiled.
"That's right, my wife and I drove this car around the country when we got married. My driving skills are no worse than those of ordinary experienced drivers. You guys sit tight," Xu Chenxin reminded.
Lin Zhiming nodded, and carried Lin Wan'er to sit next to Xu Chenxin's son. After fastening the seat belts, Lin Zhiming and Yao Jing sat opposite Lin Wan'er.
The group of people set off in this way and headed to Qingyuan Mountain, which is more than ten kilometers away from the city center.
In order not to affect the camping, Lin Zhiming specially asked Li Sina to stay at home.
More than half an hour later, the car drove into Qingyuan Mountain.
After walking around the mountain for more than ten minutes, we finally stopped in an open area.
This is the highest point of Qingyuan Mountain. Many people come here every weekend, some come to camp and some come to go hiking.
After Xu Chenxin parked the car, Lin Zhiming got out of the car with Lin Wan'er in his arms.
There were at least dozens of people on the open grass, some sitting on the ground playing cards and chatting, some having a barbecue, and some children running around and playing.
"Old Lin!" Someone greeted Lin Zhiming. He was the father of Lin Wan'er's kindergarten classmate.
Several families camping this time were from Lin Wan'er's class, and everyone was fairly familiar with each other.
"Lao Wang, Lao Zhou, Lao Li!" Lin Zhiming smiled and greeted these people one by one. After that, Lin Zhiming put Lin Wan'er on the ground and said, "Go play with the children!"
"Can I get my clothes dirty?" Lin Wan'er asked.
"Of course, you can play however you want!" Lin Zhiming smiled.
"Okay!" Lin Wan'er cheered happily, and then ran out with a few children.
The children were playing around, while the adults divided the work among themselves, setting up tents, barbecue grills, blankets and other things.
This was Lin Zhiming's first time camping out with someone.
He used to camp a lot when he was on foreign battlefields, but that kind of camping is different from this kind of camping. In that kind of camping, you always have to be wary of someone coming out of the dark to attack you. Basically, you can't sleep peacefully at night.
Like now, a few people are drinking beer and grilling meat, and the feeling is completely different.
The sunshine dispelled the slight chill on the body, and by the afternoon almost everyone took off their coats, wearing only a thin singlet.
Lin Zhiming, Xu Chenxin and Lao Zhou sat on the carpet and fought with the landlords. Lao Wang and Lao Li were smoking cigarettes and making suggestions. Yao Jing and the wives of these people gathered together to deal with the ingredients for tonight's meal. Lin Wan'er and a group of children
Playing games in the distance, the picture was so enjoyable that it gave Lin Zhiming the illusion that he had retired.
"Old Lin, I never asked you, what do you do?" Lao Zhou asked while playing his cards.
"Just do some small business, I don't have to worry about food and drink, but I'm not rich either, so that's it." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Being rich and wealthy is not as good as a well-off life like ours. How much money you have means you have to do as much business as you want." Xu Chenxin said.
"What you said makes sense." Lin Zhiming nodded in agreement, then put down the bomb in his hand and said, "Double the bomb, twenty yuan per person."
"Did you make a mistake? It's you who wins again!" Xu Chenxin said angrily, "How many times have you won this afternoon! I only have two hundred pocket money to buy cigarettes a week. It would be better for you to give me two hundred yuan.
I’ve won everything, so next week I won’t bring any cigarettes with me, and I’ll wait for you at the school gate every day to give me cigarettes.”
"That's not okay. I'm used to smoking your cigarettes, so I can't buy them myself!" Lin Zhiming said with a playful smile.
"Then why don't you count me down!" Xu Chenxin said.
"You can't lose even a penny of your gambling debt, otherwise you will lose money!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"You...then come again, I will definitely take revenge!" Xu Chen was filled with hatred, and while shuffling the cards, he said that he would blow up all Lin Zhiming's underwear.
"Your husband lost again." Yao Jing said with a smile while cleaning the chicken wings.
"He is not good at playing cards. His poker skills are so bad that even I can't beat him." Xu Chenxin's wife said with disdain.
"You only give him two hundred pocket money a week?" Yao Jing asked curiously.
"Yeah, this man can't have money. Once he has money, he becomes bad. How much pocket money do you give your husband every month?" Xu Chenxin's wife asked.
"We are financially independent of each other. He spends his money and I spend mine!" Yao Jing said with a smile.
"That's not okay, Yao Jing. This man can't have more than two hundred yuan in cash in his pocket. You don't know how powerful the little goblins are outside now. Although you are beautiful, you can't be without precautions!
"Xu Chenxin's wife Zunzun taught.
"Then I'll discuss it with him later." Yao Jing said, looking at Lin Zhiming, and found Lin Zhiming playing cards with others with a playful smile.
This feeling was better than ever before, as if she had really become an ordinary wife in an ordinary family.
However, it is probably impossible for Lin Zhiming to hand over the financial power to her. After all, Lin Zhiming has too much money.
"By the way everyone, when I go back tomorrow, I will invite you to have a spa at the Banyan Tree!" said a housewife next to me.
"Banyan Tree? That's precious. Don't go, there's no need!" Xu Chenxin's wife shook her head.
"I happen to have their coupons here. One coupon can be used once. It's very cost-effective. Yao Jing, you have to go together when the time comes. You don't play much with us. We often take the baby to and from school together on weekdays.
Shopping and shopping, this is a rare opportunity for you, so you can’t miss it!” the housewife said with a smile.
Yao Jing nodded. She felt that this was a normal life. How could she just go to any place and encounter any trouble? The most important things in life were such insignificant things, and there wouldn't be so many bad people in life.
You won’t be looked down upon by others casually, and you won’t be hostile by others casually. We hang out together, just like ordinary friends. There are no ups and downs, but it makes people’s hearts warm.
In the blink of an eye, the sun set, and many people disappeared from the open space. Most people left as soon as the sun went down. The rest, except for the campers, were couples who were going to watch the stars, the moon, and the meteor shower.
In the evening, everyone set up a big iron pot next to the car and cooked a big pot of noodles with barbecue and beer. Life couldn't be better.
Lin Zhiming ordered the men to drink, while Yao Jing and the women sat in the open space chatting, talking about their parents' affairs and some gossip in Strait City.
"Have you heard that Lu Ming's world tour will come to our Straits City next week, right at the Straits Stadium!" a woman said.
Lu Ming?
Yao Jing suddenly thought of this idol artist whom she had met several times. She had not heard of this name for a long time after we parted ways in Rongjin City.
"Lu Ming is pretty good-looking. Our company has a lot of tickets for his concert. If you want, let's go and see it together next Saturday!" Xu Chenxin's wife said.
"Is there really one?" A woman next to me said in surprise, "If there is, then you must go and see it! Please save five of them for the five of us."
"There are many tickets like this, so I'll let people reserve five of them, but the location shouldn't be very good!" Xu Chenxin's wife said.
"I may not have time..." Yao Jing said.
In fact, it's not that she doesn't have time, but that she doesn't have a good impression of Lu Ming, so she doesn't want to go. Otherwise, if she wants to see Lu Ming's concert, she can just ask her mother to ask Lu Ming's agent for tickets.
And definitely the first few rows.
"It's rare to come to Lu Ming's concert. Let's go together. We girls need to see these little fresh meats to cultivate our sentiments!" A woman said with a smile.
"Yao Jing's husband is no worse than a little fresh meat! Yao Jing, to be honest, your husband is really handsome. If he becomes an actor, he will definitely be better than Lu Ming!" Xu Chenxin's wife said seriously.
Yao Jing smiled. In her eyes, Lin Zhiming was indeed much more handsome than Lu Ming.
The night was dark, and it was already past nine o'clock in the blink of an eye.
After an afternoon of playing, most of the children have fallen asleep.
Lin Zhiming sent the sleeping Lin Wan'er into the tent. After covering him with a quilt, Lin Zhiming secretly kissed Lin Wan'er's crystal clear face. After that, Lin Zhiming left the tent like a thief.
As soon as he left the tent, Lin Zhiming saw Xu Chenxin's son.
Xu Chenxin's son was holding a doll that was about the same height as him and was wearing pajamas.
"Why don't you go to bed?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Uncle, these are my favorite dolls. Every time I hold them in my arms, I sleep soundly. I want to give them to Wan'er," Xu Chenxin's son said.
"You kid, you know how to pick up girls at a young age? Okay, give it to me." Lin Zhiming smiled.
Xu Chenxin's son smiled shyly, handed the panda doll in his hand to Lin Zhiming, then turned and ran away.
Looking at the doll in his hand, Lin Zhiming smiled and shook his head, then returned to the tent again and placed the doll next to Lin Wan'er, and then Lin Zhiming walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, everyone was sitting around a campfire, chatting and drinking.
"Your son gave my daughter a doll! A panda doll." Lin Zhiming sat down next to Xu Chenxin and said.
"Really? This guy has really good vision. He knows that Wan'er will definitely be a super beauty when she grows up, and now he knows how to take advantage of it. Old Lin, how about we book a baby kiss?" Xu Chenxin asked with a smile.
Because he drank a lot of wine, Xu Chenxin's face looked a little drunk.
"What are you thinking about? My daughter won't marry." Lin Zhiming rolled his eyes and said.
Although Lin Wan'er is not his biological father, he has already regarded himself as Lin Wan'er's biological father.
"It's not up to you! That boy in my family is very annoying to girls. You didn't see how well Wan'er plays with him. When Wan'er wants to do it, you can't stop her?" Xu Chen said proudly.
"Drinking and drinking, talking so much, haven't you ever vomited?" Lin Zhiming picked up the bottle and touched it with Xu Chenxin.
There were bursts of laughter all around.
Under the night, the laughter danced with the flames, especially warm.
At the same time, under the cover of the night, people in black robes walked out of the darkness throughout the Straits City and walked towards crowded places...
