The Year (61)

When Yang Liu saw Lin Yutong, he didn't dodge, but beckoned to Lin Yutong very naturally, "It's Lin Yutong, right?"

Lin Yutong saw that Lin Ma was picking up eggs in the basket, so she walked over with a smile, "I thought you would go back to Shanghai." ”

"Of course I want to go back to Shanghai, but what can I do? My brother took over my father's job, and my brother's brother took over my mother's job. If I want to go back to Shanghai, I'll have to wait. Yang Liu said, and put out the box of tomatoes below, "Hurry up and pick it, fresh." A quarter of a pound, don't want your book. ”

Today's tomatoes have not been ripened by anything, and looking at the half-green and half-red, they are actually almost ripe inside.

Lin Yutong picked a bunch of them, more than five catties, and the willow was only counted as five catties, two cents.

"You got married and came with your lover's hukou?" asked Lin Yutong.

Yang Liu shook his head, "Where is there such a way of luck, just to meet such a good thing." I am a distant cousin in the capital, and his child died two years ago when he was in UDOU. I came back early when I went to their house. Don't look down on people because I sell vegetables here, it's much more decent than sweeping the streets and digging the toilet. As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The key is that you don't need to buy things." How nice. ”

He looked very happy, and he didn't see the meanness of the past.

"It's good. Now that I can be placed in such a job, it must be considered lucky. This is an iron rice bowl. It's all state-run. Lin Yutong nodded in agreement.

Those who have entered the collective unit are really sad. Wages are low, and protection is limited. As she spoke, she whispered, "You know where there are night cram schools around here. Even if you are admitted to a secondary school next year, you can change to a more secure job. She smiled embarrassedly, "You still have to be decent, don't you say? I just came back, and the people around me are not familiar with ......."

"There's one at the corner of the street, and the street runs it. You go for it. Lin Yutong pointed to a place, picked up the basket, and prepared to leave.

Yang Liu didn't stop either, "We have time to talk together." ”

It was so kind that people were astonished.

Mother Lin pulled Lin Yutong back, "What's the matter?"

"I met when I was in the queue before, and I said two words, and the relationship was average, but I didn't expect to see each other for a few years, and people have changed a lot. Lin Yutong lowered his voice and said.

"Wherever you go to the mountain and sing any song, such a person will not live badly anywhere. Mother Lin also smiled, "Those people who used to be rectified have changed their smiling faces now, and those who should be united still have to be united." ”

"You are truly a model worker. Lin Yutong said with a smile. Working in a place like the canteen, retired, and got the title of a model worker. It can be seen how solid the work is, anyway, no matter how difficult it is, I have never taken a green onion or a garlic from the cafeteria. Ideological consciousness is absolutely high.

Mother Lin is proud now, "Your eldest sister is up to me." Practical. Don't think that honest people suffer losses, let me tell you, even if honest people can't be developed, they can never go through the folds. Live steadfastly. ”

Lin Yutong nodded hurriedly, "You're right." "The old man spoke, and it was a philosophy that he had lived for a lifetime.

She changed the topic, "Now that the educated youth have returned to the city, we have also entered a lot of people in this factory." ”

"What's wrong?" Mama Lin followed, "Some young men have been assigned to the briquette factory, and they are all coolies. Even temporary porters, rushing to have someone do it. Our old man was idle for a long time at the scrap purchase point, and now there are two little girls. ”

The two talked and went home. In the courtyard, you can hear three small ones humming inside.

Lin Yutong entered the house, went up to the top, and saw three lying on the bed, one humming better than the other. When I saw her, I hummed even more energetically, saying that I was going home.

"What are you doing when you go home? Mom and Dad live with you?" Lin Yutong took a coat and put it on for the children, "Good!"

"Watching TV. The sound of the rain held his mouth.

"Grandma...... No!" Zhensheng replied.

Yesheng shook his head, then nodded. As if to say, their family really doesn't have it.

Lin Yutong and the fourth master looked at each other. It's true that many habits have been formed, and it is difficult to change them.

Ming'er went out to buy one. It was easy to coax the little ancestor well, and the next day, more than 200 yuan bought a twelve-inch black-and-white TV.

The Lin family doesn't have this, so they moved back to one, and the family is fresh.

Second Sister Lin didn't like anything recently, and pouted: "I said that as soon as you came back to live, you added such a big item to your parents." After this, our eldest sister will have to buy the refrigerator and washing machine for her parents. ”

"I said second sister, I didn't offend you. Don't you buy one, our three little ancestors, don't agree. Lin Yutong let the child sit in a row on the bed and watch TV, before saying to Second Sister Lin

"You say you're spending too much. Dad Lin shook his head in distress. I don't think it's as clear as the movie.

Second Sister Lin answered: "Brother-in-law and her father, ten years of salary will be paid back, tens of thousands." This money is spent on the three precious grandchildren, and it is not worth anything. You should just take advantage of your grandson. ”

Lin Yutong smiled and didn't explain. Indeed, the old man's ten-year salary plus subsidies have been repaid by more than 20,000 yuan, although it is not as exaggerated as tens of thousands, but it is definitely a huge amount of money. And the old man's salary is more than 200 yuan a month. There is basically no cost, and the life is much better than that of ordinary people. Even if these children don't go to work now, the family is well-off. This is the reason why the family has always been lavish, but no one has ever found it strange.

These revenues are all visible. As long as you do the math, you can understand.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Lin family, the fourth master is now taking his wife and children to gnaw at the old.

But because both of them are college students, the future is promising. No one felt out of place. After all, it's only temporary.

Mother Lin told Lin Yutong, "No matter how rich the in-laws over there are, my uncle has several brothers and sisters, and he always favors you, so don't make a fuss." ”

Lin Yutong responded with a smile.

Dad Lin said: "Put it in our house first, and when the children go back, the TV will be returned to them." It's not easy for children to buy some belongings. ”

The fourth master said: "These words are outside, and they were bought for the two elders." We're still a few years away from graduating. Can you still take this to school?"

In the evening, Xiaowei came back from kindergarten and said, "We also have one at home." ”

The child wanted to show off, but this sentence made everyone in the room stunned.

"Do you have one in your family, or do you have one in your grandmother's family?" Second Sister Lin looked at the faces of Lin's father and Lin's mother, and then teased Xiaowei to speak.

"Both. My dad bought it. Xiaowei took a bite of the pork ribs and said vaguely.

Second Sister Lin laughed shamefully, "Hear it, Mom and Dad! People bought it for themselves, and they bought it for their father-in-law's family, but they didn't buy it for the second elder." Don't say anything about keeping us girls at home, it's the generous words of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. People are not as close to their parents. Don't you have to buy this TV for you, Tongtong, who is a girl. ”

"Second sister!" Lin Yuting glared, "You're not angry." Less provocative. How do you know that the sister-in-law bought it for her mother's family, not her mother's family. If it was really bought by Xiaowei's uncle for the sister-in-law, even if the sister-in-law moved over, would our family have the face to see? Besides, Xiaowei was taken care of by the sister-in-law's mother-in-law from the time of confinement. I didn't pick it up until last year. It's just bothering people for so long, what's wrong with buying a TV? Don't make trouble. ”

Lin Yutong has a headache, this is not good for living in one place. Parents are short and bumpy, which cannot be avoided. For example, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law, when they come back and see the TV, they don't speak. After all, it's a girl and an aunt, and people send their children over, give money and things, and buy TVs. But they couldn't help anything, and they had to be helped by their parents. I can't get over my face.

The next day, Brother Lin and Sister-in-law Lin came. Explain to Dad Lin and Mom Lin.

“…… People want to give their children a good job and return to the city smoothly. That's why I came to the door. Just two TV tickets. Brother Lin said in a low voice, "We don't have enough money, but the child's master gave me twenty yuan in compensation." The ticket was given over there. But I can't tell my mom about it. My mother's consciousness...... You've got to tell me to send it back. ”

Sister-in-law Lin said, "On a cold day, Dawei goes to other people's houses to watch TV every day." People don't want to see it yet, and I think it's not money, or something valuable, and it's not a bribe to receive a TV ticket. Besides, the money to buy a TV is also paid by our family. ”

It's like this, whether it's true or not, Dad Lin and Mom Lin didn't say anything. "I'll see if I buy it. It is inconvenient for children to go to other people's homes. ”

But Dad Lin's heart is still a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for the eldest grandson, I wouldn't know when I would have to hide it. If you have something, you are willing to discuss it with your father-in-law, and you don't say anything to your parents and brothers.

It's not good anyway.

When the fourth master ordered milk for his children and Xiaowei Dandan, Sister Lin took the money and came over to the fortress to Lin Yutong, "You don't have any income, and if you want your subsidy, what will I become?"

Lin Yutong is gone. Thirteen yuan a month is definitely a considerable expense for Sister Lin's family.

In the end, Lin Yutong only accepted five yuan, and she lowered her voice and said, "This is a way to think of from an acquaintance." Not that expensive. came out to mix water, where can you squeeze out this catty and a half catty. ”

Sister Lin is honest, but not stupid, "Come on." Big sister write down your favors. ”

Lin Yutong turned around and gave the money to Lin's mother, "Buy more delicious food for the children." My eldest sister is really, so clearly. ”

"Your eldest sister has strong self-esteem and doesn't like to take advantage. Mother Lin sighed, "Your brother-in-law has to take half of his salary every month to go home to support his younger brother." It's a tough time. ”
