Old Shadows of the Republic of China (16)

If you have seen this woman wearing a kimono and speaking Japanese language, then her identity is not difficult to guess. Even if he is not a Japanese national, he is a traitor who has long taken refuge in the Japanese people. It's really not a good thing to be involved like this.

Therefore, Lin Yuhuai glanced at the check handed over by the woman, and said inexplicably: "What do you want to give me a piece of paper?"

"Sir, here's a check. You can ...... at the bank," the woman laughed and explained, and those around her couldn't help but laugh good-naturedly.

"I don't know. I haven't seen it!" Lin Yuhuai shook his head and left the scene with Lin Dehai in his arms.

"Hemp ......" The woman shouted from behind, and seeing that Lin Yuhuai didn't seem to hear it, she turned into the alley on the side and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The man in the car spoke up, "Alright, Yoshiko. Put away your kindness. ”

The woman looked left and right with a smile, and then returned to the car quite helplessly, and the smile on her face instantly stopped, "If you don't understand, don't talk." When the man was talking to us just now, there were at least three Liba around who seemed to be familiar with him. There are some things that you can't do without these powers. Why do you have to use a whip to solve the problem with this little money? What is the cost compared to the benefits we get?"

The man snorted, but did not continue.

The woman known as Yoshiko glanced out, and then said coldly, "Drive." ”

Lin Yuhuai didn't take Lin Dehai to the hospital, firstly, he did not bring so much money with him, and secondly, in his opinion, compared with his own sister, other medical skills are simply unwatchable. Can pull the person who has the remaining breath back from the ghost gate, is this kind of medical skill still suspicious? Lin Dehai was groggy, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was the way home, his heart was also relieved. Compared with the Western doctors in the hospital who have knives and saws and are about to operate at every turn, he still believes in Chinese medicine more.

Without waiting for the father and son to come back, the children who were playing at the door hurriedly ran back to inform their Mr. Lin. Therefore, as soon as Lin Yuhuai entered the door, he saw Lin Yutong waiting.

"This is ......" Lin Yutong's No. 1 vein, "There was a car accident?"

But how did you get into a car accident? Now the chance of getting into a car accident is lower than getting kicked in the head by a donkey.

Lin Yuhuai put the person on the kang and said, "He did it himself." It wasn't the car that hit him, it was he who hit the car!"

"Compensation ......" Lin Dehai struggled and muttered, "Compensation...... Money ......"

"What about compensation?" Lin Yuhuai snorted, "If people don't let you lose the car, we should burn high incense." Besides, what kind of person do you think the people in the car can be slandered by you? If you are willing to be slandered by you, then we have to be careful, who knows what the next calculation will be? I beg you to be old, you will rest at home, and we will not be stopped by anyone to go to Widow Liu's house, can you stop?"

This sentence can make Lin Dehai embarrassed: "Lao Tzu...... Help...... Busy ......"

Go to the widow's house to help?

Lin Yuhuai didn't pay attention to him, and instead looked at Lin Yutong, who was busy pinching the needle: "How is it? ”

Lin Yutong made a tiger face: "I almost had to collapse on the kang." It's hard to say what kind of recovery it will be. As he spoke, he carried Lin Dehai behind his back and winked at Lin Yuhuai.

Lin Yuhuai understood, but the expression on his face was a little relieved: "It's good to be paralyzed! It's good to be paralyzed! He looked impatient to stay in the house and turned and walked out, "You take care of it here, I'll go and talk to my brother-in-law." ”

Lin Dehai pointed to Lin Yuhuai's back and gasped, with grievances in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to Lin Yutong calling the shots for him, the momentum in Lin Yutong's hands was not light, Lin Dehai 'hissed', tears were about to fall, and his mouth was whining. This time I almost took my life, and the debt of 200 yuan was not settled.

Lin Yutong ignored him, and when he saw Apricot coming in, he advised: "Don't call Xia Kang, I'll go back and prescribe a prescription, and I'll call to send it when I grab the medicine." ”

Apricot answered, and got up to send Lin Yutong out. Mother Lin came out of the opposite room and said in a low voice: "I'll go to serve him, don't let the apricots go forward." ”

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and he understood a little in his heart. After all, Apricot is not Lin Dehai's daughter, and it is indeed inconvenient to serve Lazar in close proximity. But you have to let your own daughter serve you...... I'd rather spend money to hire someone. This so-called father-daughter relationship is really not close to this part.

Before the apricots could react, Lin Dehai inside was able to speak again after using the needle, and he should have heard Mother Lin's words, and the inside was fried, "You don't need to serve, if you really have a heart, bring Widow Liu." ”

Mother Lin leaned against the door and snorted coldly, "Do you want me to send you to Widow Liu's house and ask him to serve you to eat and drink." ”

"Okay!" Lin Dehai immediately responded, "You call Huaizi back, send me over now." Lao Tzu has long been willing to stay in this house. When I saw you, Lao Tzu, I was guilty of a diaphragm in my heart. ”

Apricot Zi's face turned pale, but Lin Yutong seriously thought about the possibility of this matter. The husband and wife have long been separated, and they just make a bunch of things like this, noisy and shouting, and they can't live this life. Although divorce is not popular nowadays, the term of concubine has not withdrawn from the stage of history. But people like Lin Mu and Lin Dehai, who hate each other for not dying, but have to endure living under the same roof, are really embarrassing.

Therefore, after she went home, she saw that the fourth master and Lin Yuhuai were talking in the hall, so she directly mentioned it to Lin Yuhuai, "When people are old, they should seek comfort in their lives." asked Eniang to serve Amma, it was really not over if he didn't fight. What is the situation with Widow Liu......"

Lin Yuhuai was shocked by Lin Yutong's thoughts, and he opened his mouth and didn't know how to say it.

But Lin Yutong said, "This family is noisy, who dares to marry a girl to our family?" Apricot is also a big girl every day, and the face of the girl's family is so expensive, and it is not a matter to be scolded by Ama all day long. Yang Zi is also big, and when he gets bigger, he will have to be faced. Instead of looking at each other like this, it is better to separate them. ”

Lin Yuhuai showed an indescribable expression: "This Widow Liu is not a bad person. In the year that Eniang left, this widow Liu's man was working at the train station and was tired to death. She didn't have a woman and no children, so she was kicked out by her husband's family. The fifth aunt was a matchmaker, and it was Amma. Originally, the family affairs were all agreed, but Eniang came back. This is ...... I stopped you. Over the years, Ama has not earned a single child, but he has filled in all the money he has earned to Widow Liu, and he has also bought a small yard. As for Widow Liu, she hasn't looked for anyone all these years, one of them washes and sews clothes, so she can be considered to be able to fill her stomach. No one expected that these two people would be confused for so many years. Everyone around me also knows it, and I know it in my heart, but no one has broken it. ”

Lin Yutong looked at Lin Yuhuai, "In this case, why are you hesitating? Give Widow Liu three yuan a month, if she is willing, she will send the master over." If you have a headache and brain fever, we will take care of it when you see a doctor and take medicine. As long as she stops serving the old man, she will be relaxed, and the old man will be at ease. E-Niang is also comfortable at home, and the apricots and Yangzi have straightened their waists. Hello, I'm good, everyone's good things, what's not to do. ”

Lin Yuhuai rubbed his teeth, "Do you still go out with your father?"

"It's not that you threw him out of the door, it's the ...... in this house" Lin Yutong was saying when there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by the shouts of apricots: "Big brother, sister, hurry up and take a look, Daddy and mother are fighting." ”

Lin Yuhuai's face changed, "These two people are really kings and don't see kings." ”

The fourth master watched Lin Yuhuai go out, and also urged Lin Yutong: "You go and see again, the sick and the injured, this can be fought, and something has happened." "He's a son-in-law, it's better not to see people make a fool of themselves.

Lin Yutong answered and chased out, and there was already a circle of people at the door of the house. The wing room opposite the Lin family lives the family of the fifth aunt, and the third uncle Lin lives in the main house. It's all around.

Mother Lin's hair was messy, her face was still bloody, and her tears were falling down: "Lin Dehai, you are a king and eight calves, you know how to pit children." Who are you worthy of owing so many debts? I have raised you for a few years, and Huaizi has raised you for all these years, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs. When I turned around, I sold Widow Liu's small yard......"

"You dare!" Lin Dehai half-crawled on the edge of the kang and slapped the kang with a snapping sound, "She is much stronger than you." That's what Lao Tzu bought for her, Lao Tzu is willing, you can't care about it! Lao Tzu just sold his life for money, and he will never ask you to touch a single hair of her. If you don't believe it, try it, if you can't kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will have to strangle you. ”

It's embarrassing!

Lin Yutong helped Lin's mother back, and when she saw that her body was fine, she went to see Lin Dehai again, "This rib is broken, don't toss around." ”

Lin Yuhuai waved his hand at Lin Yutong: "You go back first, I'll take care of the affairs at home." As he spoke, he said to Apricot again, "Go to her side with your sister first, and then you go to get the medicine after prescribing the prescription." ”

This is to send them away, not wanting to call them sisters.

When he returned to the house, the fourth master had already gone to the study. Apricot pulled Lin Yutong and said in a low voice: "Sister, I don't want to go to middle school anymore, I want to do something." ”

"Do things?" Lin Yutong pointed to the stool on the side and told her to sit down, "What are you doing?"

"The last time I ate the braised pork made by everyone, it tasted so good. Apricot hurriedly raised her head, "Sister, I'll use your recipe to marinate the pork and give you a share." After deducting the cost, how about we split it in half? I'll forget it, this braised pork is ready, and I don't want to shop, just carry a basket and walk around the streets, and I can sell it. I don't go anywhere else, it's just around here. No matter who it is here, you have to give your eldest brother some face, and don't dare to bully me. Selling more than 20 catties of braised pigs a day into the water, how can you earn two or three cents, and this month, it is also more than ten yuan, all of which have caught up with the salary of the eldest brother. With this money, the family is relaxed. ”

That's a really good idea.

"It's just very tired. Lin Yutong looked at the apricots with some pity, "I don't want any of your shares." Be here tonight, I'll teach you how to marinate pork. "They don't want to subsidize them on their own.

While talking here, Lin Yutong had already written the prescription, "You go and grab the medicine first, and come over at night." He stuffed her with another handful of money.

After sending the apricots out, the fourth master came out of it, "Huaizi told me today that I met the Japanese in the Liuli Factory." ”

It was not strange to meet the Japanese people, Lin Yutong asked the fourth master: "What's so strange?"

"I'm afraid they're going for the relics. As the fourth master spoke, he stuffed the waste scratch paper into the stove and burned it, and then said: "Huaizi said that the widow came out of Dong Fan's shop today. ”

"You mean Dong Fan and the Japanese people?" Lin Yutong looked at the flames on the stove, and had a bad premonition in his heart, "Won't you?"

"It's hard to say!" the fourth master snorted, "This Dong Fan is a standard egoist, it depends on whether you know whether these people are widows or not." And...... He has seen Huaizi, and now Huaizi has come to such a hand in the Liuli Factory. I'm afraid that someone in Liulichang knows my father-in-law, and it's not difficult to find out about Huaizi, as long as you find Huaizi, then it's not difficult to find us. This person still has to be kept an eye on. ”

Why is it so hard to think about a peaceful birthday?

In the middle of the afternoon, not only the apricots came, but also Mother Lin came out of the house and followed.

"Have you settled down at home?" Lin Yutong asked the mother and daughter.

Apricot glanced at Mother Lin before she whispered, "Big brother called a car and sent Dad to Aunt Liu's side." Two dollars a month, rice and flour oil...... Dad's food and drink have to be delivered to our family on a monthly basis. ”

Mother Lin pouted: "This woman has always been shrewd. This is to understand your brother's temper and know that he will not be wronged by his own son. Where is the right place to send food? The extra is enough for her to chew. The two dollars didn't just end up in her own pocket. can coax you Ama to buy her a house, coax to buy some small jewelry from time to time, more than ten years, but I have saved a lot. Now, relying on you Amma, I have earned the pension money......"

"Mother!" Apricot looked at Lin Yutong's face carefully, and then said: "She is a woman who has no children, no daughters, and no husband, if L doesn't even have this selfishness, she will become a fool." You're not like her, there's nothing to compare to. ”

Mother Lin stopped talking.

Lin Yutong smiled and pulled the apricots to the kitchen and told her how to marinate the meat, Lin's mother watched and studied attentively, and asked Lin Yutong in a low voice: "Have you told your uncle about this?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Yutong was a little puzzled.

Mother Lin cautiously glanced at the study, "This recipe is something that has been passed down from generation to generation, you just give it to the apricot, and my uncle can agree." You can think about it, this recipe stays at home, with this craft, generations of people can't stand poverty. ”

If the old man braised the meat to survive, he and the fourth master should be killed headlong.

She waved her hand: "I can call the shots on this matter." It's okay!"

Only then did Apricot know how unreliable her request was today. I thought I didn't want the eldest sister to subsidize it, but who directly took away the heirloom golden doll of the family: "Eldest sister...... I do not know. ”

Lin Yutong didn't care about this: "With this skill, you can straighten your waist wherever you marry in the future." "It doesn't matter what kind of marriage you have.

At night, the smell of braised pork wafts through the courtyard. Lin Yutong fished out some, cut them into pieces, and asked the apricots to send some to the people who were good friends. When Lin Yuhuai and Yang Zi came back, they also came over directly, and the meal was eaten at Lin Yutong's side.

At the dinner table, Lin Yuhuai also drank two glasses, and Lin Yutong heard the two of them whispering about Dong Fan.

“…… He often dumped some antiques, calligraphy and paintings to sell to foreigners, but not all of them were real. Most of them are old goods from the wild kilns outside the city. Lin Yuhuai turned the wine glass in his hand, took a stack of money and put it in front of the fourth master, "This is the two hundred yuan, it's useless, you can put it away." ”

The fourth master smiled: "You sold the porcelain?"

Lin Yuhuai smiled: "Well, the porcelain pieces were sold for two hundred and five." repaid the debts owed by the old man, and became rich for dozens of dollars. As he spoke, he gave the rest of the money to Apricot Zi, "This thing gives you the capital to do business." ”

Apricot wiped her hand on the placket again, and then she grabbed the money and didn't know what to do.

Lin Yutong added soup to the fourth master, and listened to Lin Yuhuai lower his voice and said to the fourth master: "I met Dong Fan by the way today, this guy is very clever, and promise me that he doesn't know anything and doesn't say anything." ”

"Is it credible?" asked the fourth master.

"His wife has never given birth, a few years ago he raised a female student, and now he has given birth to two sons, both of whom are raised in a foreign house. He is not willing to offend anyone, so he is afraid of forcing people to be anxious and attacking children. Lin Yuhuai snorted, "We can't do this, but he is empty." He told me that the woman who went to his store today had been inquiring about the people who learned antique packaging in the Liuli Factory. ”

"Did he say it?" said the fourth master firmly.

Lin Yuhuai nodded: "That woman bought three thousand oceans of fake things in his store, and he said everything about pouring beans from a bamboo tube." ”

The fourth master frowned: "This person ...... It's really not credible. So...... You can find time to meet him again tomorrow and tell him that this may be an opportunity for him to go further. As long as he reported the idea of the Japanese people to the master he wanted to stammer, he would be a great achievement. It's more effective than giving any baby. ”

Lin Yuhuai suddenly said: "This guy is still an official fan." If so, then it's easy to do. I told him to keep his mouth shut, not daring to say more than half a word. ”

If you are on guard, nothing will happen. Then I heard that the bandits along the railway line moved the real guys. Needless to say, this is to clear the way for cultural relics to go south.

This year's New Year is coming in such an atmosphere.

For wealthy people, the New Year is all kinds of exquisite. People who don't have money celebrate the New Year, it's really difficult.

The braised pork business of apricots was particularly prosperous in the past few years. There are a lot of good food, and you have to book it in advance. The Lin family's yard smells of braised meat every day. For several days in a row, the income was around one dollar a day. Some people who can't afford to eat meat come with a penny or two, buy a jar of marinade, go back and use this juice to stew a pot of cabbage and potatoes, which is also very fragrant. It's the Lin family, and some of them have come over. Lin Yuhuai doesn't want money, and sends a lot of it every day. In fact, the old soup base has to be used for braised meat, and the older the soup base, the better the taste. Nowadays, I don't pay attention to that.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, some people had lunch early, simply sacrificed and cleaned, and then quickly pasted the couplet.

When Lin Yutong and the fourth master went out to paste couplets, there was a person wearing a leather jacket and a fur hat standing in the courtyard, rubbing his hands and looking at the door of this door and the door of that house. He was followed by a young man in his twenties, like a young man. The master and servant didn't say anything about the Lin family, and they didn't know what they were going to do while wandering around the yard.

The two of them also saw the fourth master and Lin Yutong, so they stepped forward with a smile on their faces: "It's Jin Fourth Master and Mr. Lin, right?"

The fourth master nodded: "I don't know who you're looking for?"

"Oops!" the man looked bitter, "You don't know how difficult it is to do this business now." We're also doing a two-handed business, but it's the end of the year...... If you can't collect the money, you tell me how to settle the business with other creditors? Look at it, every household has posted couplets and closed the door to start the New Year. What does this mean? According to the rules, if you ask for debts at the end of the year, you can't ask for debts at the beginning of the year. Entering the Layue Gate, I came to urge every day, I said that the debt could not be repaid, so I would settle the profits. These people all promised to do well, but they pushed back day by day, telling me that they would definitely pay it back before the end of the year. You see, it's only noon, and they're starting to celebrate the New Year. Where do I have to go into debt? It's the New Year, but I can't make it this year. How do I explain to others? If they want to borrow money again next year, where will I go to exchange money for them? It is not difficult to borrow well and borrow again, isn't that the truth?" His voice was loud, as if he was afraid that those who had borrowed money and had not repaid it would not be able to hear. Then he said in a low voice, "Fourth Master Jin, we know that you are a rich lord." In this way, if you have spare money in your hand, you will hand it over to you, and you will never suffer a loss. ”

"Oops, who should I be?" Lin Yuhuai came out of the house, stood on the steps and leaned against the wall and sneered, "It turned out to be your donkey dung! What do you mean by shouting so loudly at my door?"

"It's Huai Ye!" Lu Fen knows best who can offend and who can't offend, and he has always been respectful of those who dare to die. Hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "You have a good New Year! Isn't my errand not finished? What can I do? If you have any spare money, you can also hand it over to me, and I will be able to figure it out to you. It's 'short warehouse', 'plus five systems', 'seed profit', 'eye profit', 'according to the price', that kind of thing is okay!"

"Short position", "plus five systems", "seed interest", "passing interest", and "according to the price" are all forms of usury nowadays. The interest rate of the plus five system is five tenths a year, and if you can't afford it, you can roll it over, which is what everyone calls 'stacking profits'. "According to the price" is even more cruel, according to the price that rises and does not fall, the price in March will be returned in May, and the price will not be returned in May. For example, a landlord lent a peasant two stones and five buckets of sesame seeds last year, and immediately folded them into five stone buds, and the next year's summer harvest bud grain price was high, and the price of salt was low, and then according to the bud grain, it was converted into 600 catties of salt, and in the autumn of the same year, the price of salt was low, and the price of bud grain was high, and the salt was converted into 24 stone bud grains, and the interest for one year was four times the debt capital. The popular sayings of "a year" and "a year's light" are the usury that comes at a reasonable price. Because of this usury, families are ruined and people are killed.

Lin Yuhuai snorted: "I said donkey dung, there are fewer dirty things you have done over the years." Restrain yourself, don't really give birth to a son without a fart. ”

The annoyance on Lu Fen's face flashed, he smiled awkwardly, and left neatly as soon as he gave up his hand to the fourth master.

Lin Yuhuai said to the fourth master and Lin Yutong this time: "This bastard has a black heart." The profits in our area are all with douli. Who's going to take this thing?"

With Douli, it will be doubled when it is returned.

"Double in a year?" Lin Yutong asked.

Lin Yuhuai shook his head: "It depends on how much you borrow, if you borrow less, he doubles it in a month." ”

That is to say, if you borrow one dollar this month, you will have to repay two dollars when you pay it back. If not, it will be four yuan in the third month, eight yuan in the fourth month, and so on.

That's too ruthless!

"At the beginning of the year, I forced a family to death. Lin Yuhuai pointed outward, "The old Zhao family at the mouth of the alley, the man borrowed three yuan when he was sick, and it became a huge amount in half a year." This thing forces people's daughters-in-law to go to the kiln to make money to pay off debts, and also sells other people's daughters. The daughter-in-law agreed that day, but she went to the pharmacy to buy a pack of rat medicine and fed it to the man and child, and she herself crashed and died in front of the donkey's dung house. It is natural to repay debts, and the police station went to two people to take a look, and this is the end of the matter. There is no such thing as donkey dung and fart. Year after year, the money is not less. ”

Yang Zi flashed out from behind Huaizi and asked the fourth master, "This is what Mr. Bai said about exploitation?"

Mr. Bai, I mean Bai Kun.

The fourth master nodded, if this is not exploitation, what is exploitation. It's not that Labour is good at inciting people, and if it weren't for the resonance of their ideas, no one would say anything. I didn't suffer from it, I don't know its suffering!

Now, the Lin family's school has become a propaganda position for Bai Kun. A child like Yang Zi has a certain tendency to hate it in his heart.

Lin Yuhuai smiled and patted Yang Zi, "Sent the dumplings to Amma?"

Yang Zi nodded: "I sent it." The days over there were also very good, and when I went, I saw Aunt Liu making dumplings, which were still filled with mutton. But I saw him come in, and quickly closed it with the lid.

Lin Yuhuai said to the fourth master and Lin Yutong: "You guys should go back quickly." It's weirdly cold outside. It looks like it's going to snow again. ”

Don't look at the two next to each other, the Chinese New Year's Eve is also their own one. The old rules can't be broken. The Lin family is the Lin family, and the Yin family is the Yin family. In the future, those sons-in-law will never celebrate the New Year at their mother-in-law's house.

Lin Yutong went back to the house, and then he divided the dumplings that had been wrapped a long time ago, as well as the cut meat, and the prepared dishes, and asked the fourth master to send them to Bai Kun and Bai Yuan's uncle and nephew.

In the evening, snow began to fall in the sky. Every family celebrates the New Year at home. It's just that firecrackers are rarely heard. Occasionally, it seems to be far away from here. Now this New Year, there is a dumpling that is considered to be the end of the New Year. Many people don't have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Keep some good ones, and eat them on the first day of the new year.

Lin Yutong has wronged himself and the fourth master, he has been smelling the smell of braised meat recently, and it smells very greasy. She only wrapped leek stuffing and sauerkraut stuffing for herself.

The two sat opposite each other, occasionally taking a sip of wine. The fire in the house is vigorous, and the warmth on the kang is warm.

"Living like this, everything is good, it's just a little ...... Lonely. The fourth master drank two sips of wine, and his heart was a little fluttering, "You said how good it would be if there were children, how lively the house should be." ”

A person's life is the hope of life. If you don't have the heart to work for your children, you won't see hope.

Lin Yutong looked at his stomach: "Having a child? ”

"I'm just talking about it casually. The fourth master waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you have children or not." ”

Lin Yutong pinched his fingers and calculated, if he waited for peace to have a child, at that time, he and the fourth master were only in their thirties, and it was not too late. It's totally in time.

When she said this, the fourth master laughed, "Why are you still serious?"

This is just a momentary emotion, and it is left behind in the blink of an eye.

When there was a commotion outside, Lin Yutong looked at his watch, and it was only three o'clock in the morning. There was already the sound of children's laughter outside. It's really early enough to pay New Year's greetings.

After getting up and freshening up and having breakfast, the fourth master went to open the door. At this time, a group of children were already waiting outside. They were not afraid of the wind and snow, and they all shrank under the cloister, waiting for the door to open.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Kim. The uneven shouts made the fourth master feel sad, "Go in." Let's get inside. ”

These children stay here to pay New Year's greetings, just because they know that life is good here, and they can come here to mix some delicious food. Now when I go out to pay New Year's greetings, it's not like in later generations, no matter how poor the family is, there are melon seeds and candy or something. As long as someone comes, just eat. It's different now, even people who live by don't put things outside. It is only when someone close to me comes to the door with the child that he opens the cabinet and grabs a little bit to the child, which is a meaning. As for the New Year's money for the children of the neighbors, there is no such thing. I can't fill my stomach, where is the exquisiteness.

And the children have their own wisdom, choose those who have a good family, a good temper, and a good heart, and go to the New Year in groups, and they can always ask for something.

Lin Yutong put all the melon seeds and peanuts in the hall and let these children catch them, and then in the kitchen pot, the buns filled with white flour and big meat were about to come out of the pot. She didn't give the child any New Year's money, but only gave a bun to her, which caused a burst of cheers. Some children couldn't wait to take a bite, and some children hurriedly covered their jackets, saying that they were for their elders and left for their younger siblings.

Waiting for a group of children to go, the fourth master smiled: "You are recruiting wolves." I don't believe you're waiting, and in the blink of an eye, it's coming again. ”

This bun was originally steamed out by Lin Yutong, and asked the fourth master to take it to the Lin family's homes for New Year's greetings. There is no need for snacks and drinks, there is nothing better than white flour meat buns. As a result, she saw so many children guarding the door, I don't know how long, just for a little food, her heart softened, and she really called the fourth master to speak, and the children came one by one. Some of them have heard the news and traveled a long way.

Yang Zi wanted to pick up someone, but Lin Yutong stopped him in the end. called Apricot and Lin Mu to come over and take a hand, and the pot kept steaming. There is no meat, it is a steamed bun with big white noodles. Anyway, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, six bags of flour were used.

"Oh, you're a loser!" Lin Mu muttered for a day. Today's American flour costs fifteen or sixteen dollars for two or six bags of flour. And those meats, which cost more than twenty a day.

From this day on, Jin Siye has another nickname, called Jin Dashanren.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to my parents' home. When they got up early in the morning, the fourth master and Lin Yutong walked through the Lin family's courtyard with steamed buns, and then returned to the Lin family's side room.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dehai, who did not return on Chinese New Year's Eve, came back today.

"My uncle came to the door for the first year of the New Year, how could I not come back?" Lin Dehai sat on the top, looking a little fatter than before. It seems that this widow Liu served him very carefully.

Maybe it was because of watching her uncle come to the door that Mother Lin didn't choke with Lin Dehai, she was just busy in front of the stove and didn't pay attention to him.

The fourth master took a few more yuan and handed it directly to Lin Dehai: "I don't know what my father-in-law likes, so I didn't buy those useless ones." You take the money and buy it yourself if you like. ”

The smile on Lin Dehai's face immediately became stronger, and he actually reprimanded Lin Yutong with a straight face: "Don't always run outside, uncle doesn't care, but you can't go too far." It's better to branch out early. ”

Lin Mu agreed: "You Ama is right. In private, he also whispered: "How can you find a son-in-law like my uncle? If you don't hurry up and give birth to a child, what will you do in the future?"

How can I always be reduced to the role of having to catch the fourth master, not the role that the fourth master must grasp.

For the sake of the uncle's visit, the Lin family really worked hard, and it cost several pieces just for this table of dishes. The atmosphere at the dinner table was also good, and after drinking two glasses of wine, I also let go of some of them. Huaizi asked some things about the fourth master in the United States, and Lin Mu and Xingzi asked Lin Yutong how he had spent all these years. The fourth master of the United States picked out some things to say, and Lin Yutong only picked up what he had seen and heard in the rivers and lakes, and when the story was told. As he spoke, the topic came to Yang Zi's school again. Lin Yutong felt that Yang Zi's current progress would not be a problem to be admitted to middle school. was talking lively, but Yang Zi suddenly raised his head and said: "Big brother, brother-in-law, I don't want to go to school, I want to be a soldier." ”

These two words are the most feared in the chaos of soldiers!

The chopsticks in Lin's mother's hand fell off suddenly: "Be a soldier? What kind of soldier? If you want to be an errand, can't you ask your eldest brother to give you an errand at the police station......?" On this day, there is a mess everywhere, and you are asking for my life. ”

Lin Dehai glanced at Yang Zi unexpectedly: "Oh, this is really underestimating you kid! I always thought it was a dog, but I didn't expect it to be quite a gentleman." If you really dare to carry a gun, Lao Tzu will recognize you as a son. Recorded on the genealogy of the Lin family, you are the seed of my Lin family!"
