Chapter 343: There Is an Old Man in the Family (2nd Update)
"Brother ~ Sister Emma, you're back~"
As soon as the door opened, Li Annie was the first to rush over excitedly.
Lin Zitan hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged Emma and flashed to the side, so that Li Annie's impact could run to Lin Zitan's body.
"Little girl, slow down, be careful of bumping into your sister-in-law, you're going to be an aunt soon, and you're still so reckless~"
Grandma saw that the little girl rushed straight over without any rules, and quickly reached out and grabbed her arm and said with a smile.
"Wow, really, Sister Emma, do you have a baby?" said Anne Lee.
As he spoke, he heard a calm and capable mezzo-soprano coming from the door.
"Hello, Auntie, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"
"Mom, Daniel, Emma is Yijun's mother, Zhuang Ning, Mom, do you remember, she was my college classmate, and she followed me to our house during the summer vacation one year?"
"Oh, it's Xiaozhuang! It's been a few years, it's been decades, and Manrui is going to be a grandmother, you see. ”
Grandma stretched out her hand and pointed to Emma's stomach proudly.
"Hey, this is your son and daughter-in-law, hello, this mixed-race girl is beautiful~" Zhuang Ning put his arm around Li Manrui and smiled kindly.
"Hello Auntie~" Lin Zitan and Emma said in unison.
"Yo, you see how much the little couple has a tacit understanding, hello, congratulations!" Zhuang Ning said with a happy face.
"Thank you, Auntie~" The two of them said in unison, and Emma raised her face and smiled at Lin Zitan after speaking.
"Hello grandma, I'm Zhuang Yijun~Hi, Emma~, hi, Daniel."
Zhuang Yijun was standing behind Zhuang Ning just now, and when he saw the interaction between Lin Zitan and Emma, he didn't feel a little cautious, but he still walked up bravely and generously.
"This is Xiaozhuang's daughter? This looks the same as your mother when she was young, hurry up Manrui, beckon the guests to go to the living room to sit down for a while, and the dishes that have been delayed will be ready later, and the meal will start immediately." ”
After the old lady finished speaking, she reached out and held Emma's hand and said:
"You and Grandma go inside to wash your hands, you can eat in a while, but I can't make you hungry." ”
With the living treasure of grandma at the dinner table, the atmosphere is really harmonious, unlike before, Li Manrui will always inadvertently make the atmosphere a little cold.
No, just halfway through the meal, Li Manrui asked Lin Zi if he could send the mother and daughter of the Zhuang family back to the city by the way when he returned.
Lin Zitan only hesitated for a few seconds before saying:
"Xiao An will go see them off first, and then come and pick us up, Emma is not in good shape now, I'm afraid that there will be too many people to squeeze her later." ”
"Oh, Emma, you two finally came back, don't leave tonight, anyway, your mother cleans your room every day, and you can live at any time. ”
Without waiting for the others to speak, Grandma hurriedly took Emma's hand and said reluctantly.
"This ...... Is it okay?" Emma asked Lin Zitan with a shyness on her face.
"I listen to you, if you want to stay, we'll go back tomorrow, anyway, you won't go to work tomorrow. ”
Lin Zitan immediately smiled after receiving her eyes.
"Okay, let's stay an extra day, because I like grandma so much~" Emma said happily without pretentiousness.
"Oh, Xiaozhuang, look at how lovely my good grandson's granddaughter-in-law is for me!
"Mom, the girl is still young!" Li Manrui looked at Zhuang Yijun's face and hurriedly stopped.
"Isn't this twenty-seven or eighteen?" said the old lady in surprise.
"Grandma, I'm only 22 years old this year~" Zhuang Yijun blushed and defended himself.
"It's only 22?oh, you see my old woman is dizzy, tsk~" Grandma hurriedly waved her hand and said ashamedly.
"It's okay grandma. Zhuang Yijun said obediently.
"But you probably haven't taken much care of your skin, aren't all little girls of your age white and tender? Look at you, dry and thin, now that your mother is here, you have to make up for this child." ”
"What Auntie said is, didn't I come here to serve the child~" Zhuang Ning also said with a little embarrassment.
---------------------------
After the mother and son of the dealer left, Grandma helped Emma to Lin Zitan's room like a grandmother, and ran over several times to send this and that, afraid that people would not have underwear to change, and even sent a few pairs of shorts that Li Manrui bought for her.
"These grandmothers have all been washed, they are all brand new, don't dislike it, anyway, your big belly is not too small now. ”
Grandma said while holding shorts and comparing them to Emma, which made Emma happy, saying that Grandma was really too caring.
Before going to bed at night, Lin Zitan asked Emma if she wanted to wait for the child to be born and let her grandmother come to their house to live for a while, on the one hand, to accompany her, and on the other hand, to guide herself on how to give her a confinement.
"What is a confinement?" said Emma, curiously.
"Even the month you just gave birth, we Chinese women have to stay at home for a full month, can't eat ice, can't blow the wind at will, can't take a bath or anything...... Lin Zitan introduced her.
"Huh? I can't take a bath yet? Isn't that going to stink and the kids won't like me? Not to mention ...... You?" Emma said, arching into Lin Zitan's arms.
"Haha, how is it possible, even if you don't take a bath for a year, I won't dislike you. Lin Zitan said with a smile.
"No, everything else is fine, you can't take a bath~" Emma said dissatisfied.
In this dark night, Lin Zitan could feel that she must be pouting at the moment!
So wrapped in the quilt and carefully held the person in his arms, kissed her forehead and said:
"Okay, it's all up to you, you can wash it if you want, you can't wash it, I'll wash it for you......"
"Hmm~ good ......"
Thanksgiving Day in 2014 was spent in such a warm and beautiful atmosphere............
----------------------
At the end of the year, the busiest supermarket in the Chinese area is the Chinese supermarket, because of the special supply of the farm, Lin Zitan has already opened a supermarket in Emhurst, which is closest to Flushing, and on the Eighth Avenue, where Fuzhou people gather, on the basis of running the original two farms.
I happened to buy shops in both places and set up independent real estate offices, so I easily got two very good places, which began to be renovated in August and put into use in early November.
Xiao Zheng has been in Flushing for so long and has a lot of experience, in order to be able to quickly bring the two new supermarkets into the formal, Lin Zitan transferred Xiao Zheng to Brooklyn, and recruited two new executive managers to be in charge of Flushing and Emhurst's supermarkets.
Brooklyn is different from Flushing and Chinatown, where the city and periphery are mostly black, and Lin Zitan's newly opened supermarket is in an area where there are more Chinese, but not on the main street of Eighth Avenue.
Jews and blacks are also relatively widely distributed there, so they have higher requirements for the security system, they have bulletproof glass on all the windows, and the cashier has recruited a lot of local young people.
Xiao Zheng previously reported that the business of this supermarket in Brooklyn was very hot before Thanksgiving, but after the holiday, there was an inventory.
They found that a lot of things in the supermarket seemed to have been stolen, and when they looked at the camera, they found that there were many old blacks stealing things! Some even women and children were stealing.
On this day, Xiao Zheng passed a video to Lin Zitan, in which an African-American woman took a child with a child holding the seafood that the master weighed for her, and when she passed the cash register, she walked out without paying and was chased by the cashier.
After being stopped by the security guard, the non-female woman was still furious, and shouted in English while walking quickly, "I paid the money!
