The Year (136)

No matter how many people are crazy about chasing wealth, how should ordinary people live their lives, and how should they live.

Brother Lin's Xiaowei has been studying in secondary school for two years, and in the second half of this year, he will have to intern. He still studied machine tools, and the place where he practiced happened to be in a machine factory.

This year, Dandan attended a kindergarten class under the middle school.

"Just come out and be a teacher in the kindergarten affiliated to our factory. It's better to sing and dance and fool children for a day than to stand in the workshop for a day. Sister Lin seemed to want to open up, "When she finishes school, whether she goes to night college, or goes to correspondence courses, and gets a diploma, I think that it will be useful in the future." ”

That's a good idea.

Lin Yutong felt that as long as Sister Lin's mentality was stable, people still understood it.

Today is Dad Lin's 60th birthday. Anyway, I have to have a good time.

In the past, it was all about eating dumplings, and whoever was free came. It is not required that the children and grandchildren be there.

This time it's different, they're all sixty years old. You can't fool the past like that.

The children and grandchildren all took leave and came back to celebrate Daddy Lin's birthday.

Lin Yuting drove to the airport to pick up Second Sister Lin, and she also came back this time.

It's been a few years, and I've got to come back.

"Did you say that your second sister was talking to someone over there?" Sister Lin avoided Mother Lin and asked Lin Yutong in a low voice.

Lin Yutong shook his head, "I don't know." But I guess it's unlikely that my second sister wants to get married. ”

Once she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, her first marriage was not completely without her influence. When interacting with people, I first brought three points of vigilance and vigilance, and no one could stand it.

"I can't tell. Sister Lin said, so she broke the washed cucumber in her hand and handed it to Lin Yutong, "You taste it, it's really fresh to eat cucumbers this winter." This year, my mother wants to buy winter vegetables, but the old man will not let me. Mom has been worried that there is no food to eat at home, who knows that at this time, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, eggplant, cabbage, what do you want. Nowadays, there are not enough refrigerators at home. ”

"Cook less meat dishes, it's not as fragrant as this green vegetable. Lin Yutong took a bite of the cucumber, and it tasted good. It should be grown on the outskirts of Beijing. "When we went back to the city, there were a lot of plastic sheds in the vegetable patch on the side of the road, all of which were grown out of season. ”

"The taste is not as strong as in the summer, but it is really the same taste. Mother Lin brought in the washed green vegetables, "I used to want to eat green leafy vegetables in winter, that is, radish tassels, and occasionally I could buy some frost-resistant spinach." No more. You see, nowadays, as long as you have money, you can buy anything. It's strange that everyone wants to be a big money, and if you have money, it's easy to make it. ”

Sister-in-law Lin washed two tomatoes and prepared scrambled eggs for a while, and when she came over, she answered, "It's not what's wrong." I heard the old man say that there are still strawberries that are not off the market yet, and they have to wait until the Spring Festival. This must not be sold for sky-high prices. Nowadays, the countryside is also making money. ”

A room full of women and children are chattering, and the children are rushing to play game consoles to see who can pass the test.

They were all waiting for Second Sister Lin to come back for dinner, but no one expected that Lin Yuting would bring back not one person, but two people.

Second Sister Lin came to the door with a man.

And the man is blonde and blue-eyed.

Lin Yutong felt that Lin Ma's body was shaking, and hurriedly held on, "Mom, don't worry." This may be the ...... It's just a colleague, a friend, someone you know......"

Mother Lin gasped, "Your mother is not blind." ”

Yes, I'm blind.

Look at the people, one on the shoulders of the other, the other around the waist of the other. If you say that you are a colleague or a friend, no one will believe it.

"Hello!" Crooked Nut greeted the family warmly.

"Hey!China." Yusheng shook his hand and welcomed.

“thankyou.” Crooked Nuts was glad someone responded to him.

Then, Yesheng and Zhensheng went up to talk to them and asked them to sit down. A room full of adults is still in a circle. They were chatting.

Lin Yutong knew from the chats of several people that this person's name was John, an American.

is a lover with Second Sister Lin.

He proposed to Second Sister Lin, but was rejected. Second Sister Lin means that she hopes to follow the traditional Chinese customs, that is, to come to the door to propose marriage.

Therefore, John went to the Lin family this time to propose marriage.

"Alright, Mom. Lin Yuting pulled Mother Lin, whose face was pale, "It's a guest at the door, this family has come from all afar, you can't keep your face down." It's rude. Since I was a child, you have neglected the guests, our family is rude, and there is no hospitality. Speaking from the big up, we China is a country of etiquette. You are still a model worker, you can't treat international friends like this and discredit the face of the country. ”

Mother Lin glared at Second Sister Lin angrily, turned her head and sat down in front of the stove.

Second Sister Lin glanced at John and said with a smile: "You speak Chinese." Most of the family doesn't speak English. ”

John immediately got up and bowed to Mother Lin, "Hello mother-in-law." ”

Mother Lin almost jumped up, where is it, it's my mother-in-law.

Zhensheng hurriedly pulled John to the back room, "Let's sit inside, the men are inside." ”

"Men and women...... Different...... I know. John answered.

Where did such a baby come from, it's funny!

Dad Lin was able to hold on and took people in.

When the door of the back room closed, Mother Lin slapped Second Sister Lin on the back, "You dead girl, why are you so uneasy." ”

Second Sister Lin stood still with a hippie smile on her face, and asked Mother Lin to beat her, "Mom! John is very good." ”

Lin Yutong pulled Second Sister Lin and said in a low voice: "In the past two years, you have made a lot of money, you can live well in Hong Kong and in the capital." You don't have to go to the U.S. or immigrate to Canada. If you have no relatives and no reason overseas, what are you going out for? If it's for a green card, you really can't do it. ”

Second Sister Lin shook her head, "It's not for money, it's not for the green card." It's just bumped into. She turned to Mother Lin and said, "John is really a very good person, really! Foreigners are just like us, most of them are very good." More than a year ago, I went back late at night, and on the road I met two robbers, and it was John who helped me drive people away. You said that there are still many righteous and courageous people on this street now. I thought, hey, these foreigners aren't all bad guys from the Eight-Nation Alliance. Just like that, you come and go, and you become familiar with it. She lowered her head, her voice slowly lowering, "That's my case." After all, I have been divorced, and although I have no children, I have to find a second marriage. At my current age, I have to be a stepmother with someone else when I enter the door. Others don't know about my temper, but can anyone in this family know that I can be a stepmother? I can't fight for three days. Besides, that's it, and people don't know how to dislike it. Men are not all the same thing. At least, John didn't have that idea. He is a lawyer who works in the Hong Kong branch of a U.S. company and has his own property in the U.S. After getting married, live in the United States, live in Hong Kong, or return to the capital to settle down. I really want to marry him and live a serious life. As for how far I can go, I haven't thought about it. But you can't be afraid that you won't be able to live in the future, so you don't dare to take a step. This year, I also learned English and was able to cope with basic conversations. ”

"But again, if the family agrees, then we get married. If the family doesn't agree, forget it. We just treat each other as friends, and lovers get along with each other. Nothing matters. ”

After Second Sister Lin finished speaking, she looked at Mother Lin.

Lin Yutong hurriedly dodged, this person just owed a beating. What I said in the front is very good, but what do I say in the back'lover', isn't this looking for a beating?

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Yutong dodged, Lin's mother picked up the broom at hand and hit Second Sister Lin, "I told you not to study well, I told you not to be ashamed ......"

"Mom, I'm in my thirties. Second Sister Lin jumped away, rubbing her ass while hiding.

"It's more than thirty? It's more than eighty, and I'll fight the same. Mother Lin covered her chest angrily, "Why did you give birth to such a wicked obstacle?"

"Then you can live long live, long live, long live. Second Sister Lin muttered.

Sister-in-law Lin hurriedly gave Lin's mother a good breath, "Think about it, what the second sister said also makes sense." Now the world is different. Yesterday, Dandan said something...... What nobles?"

"Single nobleman!" Dandan touched a few more slices of cut cucumbers and turned around.

"That's right! Sister-in-law Lin said in a low voice, "Say that the eldest of our family is now a single nobleman." You see, in your eyes, this difficult marriage family has become a nobleman. Now the world is really different. As long as she is willing to get married, it doesn't matter which country she marries? In the future, if you get married and have children, it doesn't matter what happens to men, if you have children, you will have to rely on. This is a foreigner, and the foreigner is also raised by his parents, and he should also be filial piety, and he will not look at his mother and ignore it. What's more, if this really gives birth to a child, then there is also half Chinese blood, and it is even more important to talk about filial piety. Isn't the second sister relied on for the rest of her life? ”

Where is this? Sister-in-law Lin's words made Lin Yutong want to laugh. But looking back, Sister Lin nodded desperately on the side, feeling very reasonable.

Second Sister Lin's head is full of black lines, what is it? Married by yourself just to have a child legally?

What a mess!

But on the contrary, Mother Lin just listened to Sister-in-law Lin's words.

"Don't be idle, hurry up and cook. Now that you're here, make two more dishes. "Mother Lin's face is not good, but at least she is not so repulsive.

Second Sister Lin didn't know whether she should cry or laugh......
