In the countryside, everywhere is full of joy, every attic, under the eaves, there are bacon, sausages, salted fish, fried tofu, red peppers, a dazzling array of rural delicacies.

The inside and outside of the house are clean, and the bluestone slabs in the alley are also cleaned spotlessly.

The clear blue sky also seems to be filled with incense and cooking smoke, and the air is filled with a thick and quaint atmosphere of the New Year.

Now, students who go out to study, young adults who have taken root in a foreign land, can only stay at home for a few more days during the Chinese New Year. Hometown, who doesn't have a few childhood friends, visiting each other, and the contact and contact feelings are also full of warmth.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the red lanterns are hung high, the new peaches are replaced by the old charms, the lights are lit up, the Spring Festival Gala is broadcast on TV, and bursts of joyful laughter are heard.

Half-grown children happily play hide and seek, set off firecrackers, play birds and guns in front of and behind the house, and the sound of frolicking is endless.

The Spring Festival holiday is too short, and Lin Yan's plan is to return with Jiaqi tomorrow afternoon, so he didn't have time to visit relatives and friends, so he went to Li's house today to greet Uncle Li and Auntie.

The rest of the time is at home, one is to want to accompany his parents to chatter more, and the other thing is to do the work of his parents, so that the two old men and themselves go to S City to live for a few days.

Lin Yan's family sat around the fire, the aroma of just finished dinner was still in the house for a long time, and snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, and nuts had been placed on the coffee table.

A cigarette after a meal, happy like a fairy.

Linfa lit a cigarette, sat in the fire barrel, and slowly swallowed it, so comfortable. After her mother Xu Mei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she also sat in the fire bucket and chatted with Lin Yan's parents.

My mother talked a lot about family matters, and she also asked Lin Yan about school life and work.

"Dad, Mom, in the first month, there is nothing important at home, you can accompany me to S City for a few days, I want to accompany you more. After chatting for a while, Lin Yan said tentatively.

"You're busy with work right now, so we're not going. After hearing this, Xu Mei said with a smile.

"Mom, all year round, I'm basically outside, and I'll only be back for a day or two, so I miss you! Now Grandpa Wu's family treats me like relatives, and wants you to walk around. Grandpa Wu and Grandpa were comrades-in-arms, and now they treat me as a godgrandson, and I can't refuse. ”

Lin Fa was very happy when he learned that Grandpa Wu in S City and his father Lin Pinggen were comrades-in-arms, and now he recognized Lin Yan as a godchild, and he didn't have any objections.

But there is still some resistance to going to S City to live for a few days, one is that I am used to the life of "seeing Nanshan leisurely" in the countryside, and I will be very unaccustomed to going to the city; second, no matter what the relationship between the older generation is, or how good the relationship between them and Lin Yan is between the younger generation, I am willing to approve of it, but I don't want to get involved.

After Lin Fa and Xu Mei heard this, they were silent and did not speak.

"It's this situation, I have a fancy for a house in S City, you have to help me see what you say, check it, we will all live together in the future." Lin Yan knew that his words did not impress his parents, so he thought about it and said.

Lin Fa and Xu Mei exchanged glances with each other when they heard their son say this, but Lin Fa still didn't speak, and continued to smoke and be silent.

"Mom, do you think that's the reason? You can go to S City with your father!" Lin Yan saw that his father was unmoved, and asked his mother for help.

Lin Fa has been smoking, without any statement, Xu Mei knew her husband's thoughts, so she said: "Son, this house will mainly be lived by yourself in the future, as long as you are satisfied, your father and I can't go once or twice a year, just leave a room." Besides, haven't we bought the house yet, where are we going?"

"Staying in a hotel, just a few days, very convenient, if you are not used to living in the dormitory rented by our company, I will vacate a room!"

"Hey, it doesn't cost a lot of money to live in a hotel, forget it, when you finish the house decoration in the future, we can go again!"

After Lin Fa finished smoking a cigarette, he lit a second cigarette, and then said slowly: "Stone, you are now grown up, you have read a lot, and you have the ability." I'm proud of you for having such achievements out there now, but some truths are still outside the books and need to be slowly honed and accumulated.

Your career is on the rise, and your studies are also very important, you are very busy during this period, and your mother and I are not going to S City, but it is not necessary for the time being.

You can slow down the matter of buying a house, I have heard you and Jiaqi say a lot of things in the past few days, the company has just started, and it is in the stage of using money.

Therefore, my advice to you is to 'build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the king', the company's development and growth is to build a high wall, accumulate cash and pay attention to investment is to accumulate grain, and temporarily do not buy a house and buy a house, and be prepared for danger in times of peace is to delay the king.

Your connections depend on yourself, your parents can't help anything, the Wu family treats you well, you just reciprocate with your heart, it makes sense for your parents not to go, think about it, and wait for the opportunity in the future.

There is a sentence in the disciple's rules: Those who are talented are expected to be arrogant; Don't be rich, don't be arrogant, don't be tired of the past, don't like the new.

I haven't read any books, this enlightenment book when I was a child is a must-read book for our Lin family, I hope you can always remember it. ”

The sound of firecrackers outside the house is one after another, and the joy of the New Year is still there.

It is still the deep winter season, there are still a few days before the beginning of spring, the weather is not cold this year, it is a warm winter, and these words make Lin Yan's heart warm as three springs.

Father's lecture, Lin Yan sat upright, lowered his head and listened carefully, his voice was not loud, every sentence was in his ears, and he was generous and powerful.

Parents call, don't delay, parents live, don't be lazy. Parents must listen quietly when they teach, and parents must be obedient and obedient.

"Disciple Rules", Lin Yan has been learning from his father's teachings sentence by sentence since he was a child, and he can still recite it backwards, the kind of culture that is heard in his ears and integrated into his blood makes Lin Yan instantly return to his childhood state.

"Yes, Dad, I listen to you, everything has gone so smoothly these days that I get a little carried away, but I must remember your words. Lin Yan sat down and said seriously.

"Lin Yan, tomorrow morning, I will go to your uncle's house to pay a New Year's greeting, and then you and Jiaqi will go back to S City in the afternoon, we will not go for the time being, there are still relatives at home to move around." Alas, your grandmother loved you when she was a child, and now your uncle's family is just getting better, and it's not easy, and a few big fish were sent as a New Year's festival a few years ago, and you want to pay a return visit!"

"Well, okay, Dad!" Lin Yan continued as he promised: "Xu Yu and Xu Wei's cousins haven't seen each other for a long time, so they want to go over to catch up on the past." ”

Lin Fa took a puff of cigarette, thought about it and said: "I'll discuss with your mother to see if your Uncle Li's family is free, let's go out for a trip together in a few days, your grandfather came back from being a soldier, and kept saying that I regret not going to Tianjing to see the chairman, I want to take your grandfather's photos to Tianjing." ”

Lin Yan nodded, very happy that his father was willing to travel, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, when are you going to leave, I'll help you sign up for the group." ”

"Yes, in the past few days, your Uncle Li's body is not feeling well, maybe he has a cold, let's go when he is better!"

"Uncle Li is sick, I didn't see it when I went to his house today?" Lin Yan said in surprise.

"It's just a small cold, it's not serious, our body is strong, this little illness and small pain will pass as soon as we carry it, this is not a big New Year, do you want to tell you specifically? If it weren't for the fact that he was given a cigarette to smoke today, he didn't answer, saying that he had a little cold, and he would smoke after a few days, otherwise I wouldn't know." ”

"It's a cold!", Lin Yan suddenly reacted, he has been busy recently, and when he went home, he forgot the important thing about the spread of the SARS virus.

Just now I was thinking about helping my parents sign up for a trip to Tianjing, which is amazing.

Hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom, I think this is good, now the weather in the north is too cold, we are used to being warm in the south, or wait until the weather is warmer, and then make plans to go to Tianjing." ”

"It's okay, our bodies and bones are fine, and we are not so fragile, if it is cold, it will be cold, what is the matter!"

"That's not what it means, it's not that Uncle Li is not in good health, this spring is cold, if Uncle Li goes to the north and gets sick again, it will be inconvenient to be in a foreign place. I think you should also pay attention to your body, every spring is the flu season, I heard that there is a high incidence of flu in Kuangzhou, so you should stay at home for a while. Lin Yan said.

"Well, that's right, look at your Uncle Li's physical condition, we do farm work every day, and our physical foundation is good, don't worry. Lin Fa agreed with Lin Yan's statement, but still said optimistically.

"By the way, Uncle Li is sick, there is no doctor in the village, and there are still more than ten miles away from the town, so he hasn't gone to buy medicine yet, right?!" Lin Yan asked.

"Well, no, we men just got over it. Lin Fa said disappreciatively.

"Dad, this Uncle Li is almost sixty years old, and he is here at this age, just when I came back, I brought some spare cold medicine, or I will send it over now." Why didn't Sister Jiaqi tell me!?" Lin Yan said as he prepared to leave.

"That's okay, I'll go with you, go to your Uncle Li's house! Aren't you planning to travel to Tianjing, just ask their opinions!" Lin Fa nodded, got up and came out to leave with Lin Yan.
