Chapter 123: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (Part I)
As a senior poor man who has never had more than 200,000 yuan in his bank card, in Lin Miao's mind, whether it was in 1995 or 2015, 100,000 yuan is a huge amount of money that needs to be guarded with a solemn attitude.
However, Lao Lin and Jiang Ping's backhand hurt Lin Miao's face with their actual performance.
Lin Miao never expected that her parents, who had obviously suffered a lot in the past few years, still maintained a good attitude of remembering what to eat and not to beat. As soon as the days get a little better, the scars are completely healed and the pain is forgotten.
In the face of the huge manuscript fee that is about to arrive, Lao Lin and Jiang Ping have neither the idea of saving money for emergencies, nor do they have the intention of finding a project to invest in value-added.
The two of them seemed to completely ignore Lin Miao's existence, and discussed enthusiastically how to spend the 100,000 yuan.
From food to clothing, from household appliances to travel, the foaming mouth debated for almost an hour, and finally reached a consensus that deeply shocked Lin Miao's heart that had maintained a hard and simple state all year round.
"Santana! Santana can, just a hundred thousand ......" Lao Lin looked like "Lao Tzu finally came up with the best solution", as if spending money is a highly technical job, and after spending it in one go, his heart is full of a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Miao was dumbfounded.
You must know that even in her previous life, when private cars were everywhere, Lin Miao lived to be in her thirties, and she never thought of buying a car. On the one hand, it is really not necessary, and secondly, with his economic strength, he really wants to buy a passable car. So he didn't even get a driver's license, and took the bus or pedaled his bicycle to work every day, not caring about that empty face.
But now, Lao Lin hasn't even received the money yet, so he actually has the idea of leading the consumption trend of the times.
This is 1995!
Which street chief would have such an unreliable idea?
Is it bad for you to buy a suite with this money?
"Dad, are you serious?" Lin Miao looked at Lao Lin and asked seriously.
Lao Lin even changed his character painting style in an instant, his tone was so sincere, so serious, and so self-deceptive: "A Miao, buy a car...... It's my father's lifelong dream......"
Lin Miao's eyelids were jumping when she heard this, and she couldn't help but roar angrily in her heart: Get out! Isn't your lifelong dream to be promoted to an official and make a fortune? Isn't your lifelong dream to be fluttering with colorful flags fluttering outside? Isn't your lifelong dream Qin Wanqiu? What kind ......of bicycle do you want!
Lin Miao took a deep breath, and seeing that he couldn't move Lao Lin, he could only try to persuade Jiang Ping. But when he turned his head to take a look, he found that Jiang Ping's state was more exaggerated than Lao Lin. I saw that her eyes were shining, and her eyes were so bright that they seemed to be really flashing, so flashing that Lin Miao didn't dare to look at her for more than three seconds.
Lin Miao couldn't help but move her throat, but she knew that she couldn't do it, so she still insisted on asking, "Mom, do you really want to buy it?"
Jiang Ping covered her mouth and laughed so much that she was about to fall down, "Buy it, if your dad wants to buy it, let him buy it, I don't care anyway, oh ho ho ho~"
"Ho, ho, ho......" The corners of Lin Miao's mouth were about to twitch.
You've been like this all the time, and you dare to say that you don't care?
Do you dare to make a bet with me now - I bet that you will definitely drive to Tianji Lane to buy groceries in the future, drive to the countryside for the New Year, and drive to your mother and grandmother's house every weekend under the banner of visiting the elderly!
If I guess correctly, all the money I earn will be mine!
Do you dare to bet? I will ask you if you dare to bet!
Lin Miao had already roared in her heart, but she still maintained a pleasant face, wanting to save Lao Lin and Jiang Ping from the frenzy of luxury consumption, and suggested rationally: "Dad, why don't you buy a house, the price of the house will definitely increase in price in the future......"
"You don't have to worry about spending money, Dad knows it. Lao Lin obviously had already made up his mind, and said with words, "You don't have to worry about the house, isn't our family very comfortable to live in now, and maybe Dad's unit will be divided for me in a while, how stupid it is to buy a house with money now, where can the house go up again, and if the price rises, even if you want to sell, who would be so stupid to take over......?"
Lin Miao was speechless by Lao Lin.
Although I really wanted to explain to Lao Lin what kind of magical financial organization Dongou Real Estate Speculation Group was, when the words came to her lips, looking at her parents' eager and expectant looks, Lin Miao's heart finally softened.
Buy, buy, buy if you want......
In their previous lives, they couldn't make a good living, and the family had a total of two bicycles and four wheels for many years. There are finally some signs of salted fish turning over in this life, and it's time for them to live a good life in a normal family......
Isn't it just money, you can still make money if you spend it......
It's really not good, wait for a few years for Lao Tzu to use all his net worth to buy the Chinese team from the South Korea and Japan World Cup, right?
and the Chinese team swallowed nine eggs in a row in the World Cup -
I'm rubbing, this special national football team saves lives!
Lin Miao, who almost never watched football in her previous life, counted with her fingers, and suddenly found that she seemed to never have to worry about food and clothing in this life.
Lin Miao was instantly arrogant, her tender little hand slapped on the coffee table, and said domineeringly: "Dad, don't buy Santana, it's too low-end! Let's save the money for a few years first, and then hold back the Mercedes-Benz in a few years!"
Lao Lin thought about it, shook his head deeply, and said: "It's too expensive, I can't hold it in a short time, let's get a Santana to drive first, and then think about ......Mercedes-Benz when you have money in the future."
Lin Miao: "......"
……
The family's plan to buy a car was put on the agenda.
After the psychological construction is completed, I just wait for the publisher to pay for it.
At noon, Lin Miao followed Lao Lin and Jiang Ping to a nearby hotel to have a New Year's wine for the employees in the street.
The so-called internal staff refers to the formal establishment, but there are still a lot of people, and there are ten tables, all of which are dragged by the family, and the food is lively.
Lin Miao's family has been in the limelight recently, and Lao Lin was toasted by this group of people in turn, and after drinking it at noon, he was basically in a state of hitting the street. Fortunately, the hotel was close to home, and Xu Jiachang, who was half a neighbor, helped out, and several people worked hard to help Lao Lin back home.
Jiang Ping was also drunk, and after returning home, she fell asleep with Lao Lin.
Lin Miao was afraid that the two of them would have an accident, so she didn't dare to go out in the afternoon, smelling the smell of wine all over the house, and kept her parents until five o'clock in the evening, waiting for her grandmother to call and urge, before waking up Lao Lin and Jiang Ping.
The two of them got confused, took a slow bath, and finally had a little bit of half-blood resurrection.
weakly pulled Lin Miao to pay New Year's greetings.
There are many small shops on Xicheng Street, Lao Lin and Jiang Ping casually bought two boxes of eight-treasure porridge and Jianlibao as souvenirs, and stuffed the red envelopes for the old man into Lin Miao's pocket, so that Lin Miao would hand them over to her grandmother later.
Lin Miao touched the red envelope, estimated to be about 500 yuan, equivalent to Jiang Ping's salary for more than half a month, full of sincerity, and then listened to Jiang Ping say with a serious face: "Don't let your other grandmother know, do you understand?"
"I understand, I don't know I'm a fool!" Lin Miao said with a smile.
Lao Lin's expression was complicated, and he frowned slightly and was silent.
Lin Miao knew when he looked at him like that, and he must be wondering in his heart whether to secretly send a copy to his old lady.
Lin Miao didn't pierce it very sensibly, and quietly watched Lao Lin call a tricycle with a melancholy expression.
A family of three got into the car, plus two boxes that were not light, and the tricycle driver couldn't move for a while, pulling the car forward a few steps before turning over and getting on the seat, squeaking and squeaking with all his strength to make the wheels slowly roll. The car rode for 20 minutes, and at about half past six, I finally entered a commercial housing community that was older than the Mingyue Community on Xicheng Street.
It is said that this is the first batch of buildings in Oucheng District, and because the planning is good and the quality is quite good, it has not been demolished until 2020, and it is very likely to rush to the expiration of 70 years of property rights.
Jiang Ping lived here for a period of time when she was a child, so when she married Lao Lin, the most incomprehensible thing about Lin Miao's grandmother was that her daughter, who had always loved cleanliness, could endure the terrible living environment in Tianji Lane.
The tricycle stopped in front of the building, Lin Guorong happily took out ten yuan of the car money, quickly picked up the two boxes, and walked up the dim staircase without the corridor light.
When I went up to the second floor, the door was closed, Jiang Ping knocked on the door and shouted, "Mom!"
There was a shout of "coming, coming" from the horse.
Immediately, the door opened, revealing a small face, and shouted shyly: "Second aunt, uncle." ”
Lin Miao looked at the little girl in front of her who was destined to grow into a big beauty in the future, and then was sold to middle-aged and elderly immigrants in Australia by her unreliable mother in disguise, and shouted a little distressed: "Sister......"
