A few years later.
Lin Chun and Gu Chengya gave birth to a girl named Lin Yixuan, nicknamed Xuanxuan.
Lin Dong, who was far away, deliberately mailed a lot of toys from abroad after learning that the eldest brother's daughter was born.
Lin Dong graduated from graduate school and took the TOEFL test to study for a doctorate in the United States.
Lin Chun and Lin Xia Lin Qiu's brothers and sisters are very happy that they have produced a super scholar, so no matter how long Lin Dong wants to study, they will fully support them.
In addition to caring about his younger brother's life abroad, Lin Xia also paid more attention to his emotional problems.
After all, only the younger brother of the few of them has not married and had children, and it is a little too late to think about personal problems after returning to China after completing his doctorate.
The only request she has for her brother to find a girlfriend is that she doesn't want him to find someone of different nationalities.
What Lin Xia thinks is that the difference between the north and the south in the country is so big, if it is people of different nationalities, whether it is cultural differences or living habits, it will be more difficult to integrate in all aspects.
Lin Dong listened to Lin Xia the most, and said that he didn't want to find blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls himself.
Everyone loves the lovely Xuanxuan very much, Qin Zeming and Li Yulan go to Lin Chun's house every day to see their children, rain or shine, and Lin Qiu often takes his son to Lin Chun's house near the water.
Because Lin Xia was not in the same place, he had nothing to call and occasionally mail some clothes and toys.
Lu Zheng is now the head of the regiment and has been assigned a new residence.
Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou only have one son, Lu Zheng, and now Jingjing and Keke need someone to pick them up even if they go to elementary school.
So they moved to live with Lin Xia and Lu Zheng, and the family lived together in warmth and harmony.
The year before last, Shao Chengzhi had passed away due to illness.
The old man died in his sleep, and the family was not psychologically prepared at all.
Because of his sudden death, everyone was very sad in their hearts, but at the same time, they also understood that the old man left without regrets.
At that time, Shao Chengzhi's funeral was very grand, and Qin Zeming rushed over despite his physical discomfort to send his old comrades-in-arms on their last journey.
Lu Zheng was depressed for a while.
It can be said that Shao Chengzhi's death had a great impact on him.
Even if he was mentally prepared, he knew that sooner or later his grandfather would pass away.
But when that day really came unprepared, he still couldn't suppress his sadness and wanted to die.
Lin Xia has been with him and walked with him through that gloomy period.
Lin Xia is very satisfied with the current state of life.
She no longer regards her career as the first priority, but gradually returns to her family. Accompany the two children to grow up, and have nothing to do with their mother-in-law to go shopping for beauty and fitness, the two are now not mothers and daughters but mothers and daughters.
Shao Meirou and Lu Pengcheng travel together every few months, and their relationship is getting better and better.
Sometimes, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng would talk about these things in private.
Lu Zheng felt a lot about this, who would have thought that his parents would also have a day like glue.
……
On this day, Jiang Mingyuan and Qi Qi suddenly drove to the provincial capital.
They only called Lin Xia after they arrived, Lin Xia was surprised and hurriedly asked where they were, it happened that Lu Zheng was also resting at home, and she and Lu Zheng drove to the meeting together.
Jiang Mingyuan has gained a little weight in recent years, perhaps because of a happy married life, and the whole person is calm and indifferent.
Qi Qi is still similar to when she got married that year, Xu is a little plump because she has given birth to a child.
Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan haven't seen each other for a few years, and Qi Qi and Lu Zheng have met for the first time.
After everyone's lively greetings, they got in the car and found a restaurant to eat.
In a private dining room at a high-end restaurant, four people sit down to order food.
After the waiter left, Lin Xia asked, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, why didn't you bring the child here?"
Jiang Mingyuan gave birth to a girl in their family, nicknamed Duoduo, she thought that this time Jiang Mingyuan and his family would bring her to the provincial capital.
Jiang Mingyuan smiled heartily, "It's kindergarten, can we still slip through with her?" When he talked about his daughter, his smile was full of love.
Qi Qi echoed, "Yes, now my family is very naughty, if I take her, I won't be able to go shopping with your second brother." ”
Lin Xia felt something, "Hey, the two of our family are the same, now that they are older, they have their own ideas, and it is even more difficult to manage." ”
Lin Xia thought, fortunately, there are parents-in-law who have been helping them take care of the children, otherwise, if she had to face two little adults all day long, she would go crazy.
Speaking of children, Lin Xia and Qi Qi, two mothers, have a more common language, and you keep talking back and forth.
The dishes were served one after another, and everyone chatted while eating.
Jiang Mingyuan and Lu Zheng pushed their glasses and drank liquor, and the two once competed and compared together in order to pursue Lin Xia.
Now, many years later, I can't help but smile when I think about that time.
But in front of Qi Qi, none of them said that.
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Mingyuan casually asked what kind of business Lin Xia had been doing recently.
"I've been speculating in stocks lately, and I'm not doing anything other than a garment factory. Second brother, how is the business of your restaurant now?"
Now that it is a good time to catch up with the stock market, Lin Xia is up and down in it, although there are profits and losses, but her assets are still accumulating more and more.
She gradually wants to get out of the stock market, but she doesn't know what to do for the time being.
Jiang Mingyuan said frankly, "The business is average, you know where we are, it all depends on timber, now the logging is reduced, and if there is no consumption by old customers in the south, how many people can the locals have in addition to entertaining guests or holding wedding banquets with good family conditions." ”
Because of the wealth accumulated in the past few years and the fact that he is now making money from stock trading, he doesn't care much about the bad business of the restaurant.
The turnover can easily maintain the daily expenses, and he continues to hold on.
After all, that store has invested too much effort in him, and he is still a little reluctant to transfer it to others.
"Well, yes, I know. Haven't you thought about thinking about some other business, second brother?" Lin Xia knew what Jiang Mingyuan said, and I am afraid that the situation will be even worse in the future.
Before she was reborn in her previous life, the original wood processing factory was in a state of suspension and vacation, not far from the yellow stall.
"I thought about it, but it wasn't too suitable. I came back with your second sister-in-law this time, and it was one thing to accompany her to walk around and buy clothes, but also to investigate if there was any business that could be done here.
I have also made a lot of money by trading stocks in the past few years, but you should also understand the situation in the stock market. I still want to use this money to do business, be more practical......" Jiang Mingyuan's stock speculation was specially reminded by Lin Xia.
"Actually, I think the same way, but what to do is a question. Lin Xia coincides with the second brother now, and she also has this idea.
But the best business at the moment should be real estate, and she doesn't want to do it yet.
Once she does, she will be very busy again, and she won't be able to take care of it at home.
Lu Zheng, who had been silent beside him, opened his mouth at this time, "Daughter-in-law, why don't you cooperate with the three of you to do something." ”
Lin Xiakaba's eyes, she was surprised by Lu Zheng's proposal, "You're not afraid that I'll be busy, and I can't take care of it at home?"
"Don't be afraid, don't you still have your parents to help us? Although the money you make in the stock market looks like a lot, if you continue like this, it is not a long-term solution. My uncle told me that day that he also wanted to open a company and do something......"
Lu Zheng knows his daughter-in-law's dream, returning to the family is only temporary, she still wants to have a bigger stage, then he must support her unconditionally.
And Jiang Mingyuan is a decent person and very capable of doing things, and he will not do bad things with their relationship for many years.
The same is true for the uncle, so the cooperation between these three people will not be as unpleasant as others.
The reason why he brought his uncle with him was also to form a tripartite cooperation, so that no matter who there was, nothing could be said.
She's really good men!
Lin Xia was so moved that she couldn't hug Lu Zheng and kiss her a few bites, but she was still thin-skinned and embarrassed to show intimacy in front of Jiang Mingyuan.
Lu Zheng saw the situation from his daughter-in-law's expression and eyes, and he winked at her ambiguously, meaning to reward him well when he went home.
Of course, Jiang Mingyuan can't ask for it, if he wants to make a career in a provincial city where he is not familiar with his life, I am afraid that he will have to pay too much hardship and may not be able to do it easily.
But with the addition of Lin Xia and Uncle Lu Zheng, it is very different.
Their cooperation was finalized so quickly.
Not only Lin Xia and Lu Zheng thought it was incredible, but Jiang Mingyuan and his wife, who were just holding Jiang Mingyuan and his wife, who came to shop for clothes and inspected the market by the way, were also super surprised.
Halfway through, Qi Qi went to the toilet, and only the three of them were left in the box.
Jiang Mingyuan suddenly said, "Lin Xia, do you remember the monkey ticket you asked your godmother to buy?"
Lin Xia laughed, "Of course I remember, I still remember hearing my godmother say that you bought five sets, aren't you? Now it's worth a lot, you have to treat the two of us to eat something delicious." She was still very concerned about this matter at that time, and when she gave her godmother a sweater, she asked again, and when she learned that Jiang Mingyuan really bought it, she was completely relieved.
"No problem, this meal is an appetizer, I will invite you to a big meal later, and we will eat whatever you want. ”
Lin Xia shook his head, "That's not good, we have to invite this meal, and the friendship of the landlord must be good." ”
Lu Zheng smiled silently.
"Okay, then we won't rob you. Jiang Mingyuan sighed as if unintentionally, "I regret buying less, I knew that it would appreciate so much now, and I should have bought more in one go." How many sets did you buy at the time?"
Lin Xia glanced at her man, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and she lied without changing her face, "Six sets." ”
In fact, she bought sixteen sets, and once, Lu Zheng chatted with her about stamps, and she told him the truth directly.
But you can't say so much with Jiang Mingyuan, it's too easy to lead people to reverie.
"Six sets is not a lot. ”
"Yes. Lin Xia didn't want to mention this, she beckoned Jiang Mingyuan, "Second brother, you are fast." ”
"Okay, you eat too. "Gentleman Lange, monkey ticket, many things Lin Xia has done the unpredictable prophet. Jiang Mingyuan had some speculations in his heart, but he would never say them in his life.
Lin Xia gave Lu Zheng a chopstick to slip the fat intestines, "Xiao Zheng, you eat it too." ”
Lu Zheng glanced at Jiang Mingyuan, he picked it up from the plate and put it in his mouth, "Thank you, daughter-in-law." ”
Lin Xia glanced at him with disgust, "Yo, you're still polite to me." ”
"Of course. Lu Zheng rubbed Lin Xia's head, his eyes were full of pampering, he knew that his daughter-in-law had something secret.
She doesn't say, and he never asks.
Maybe another five, ten years, or more, he thought. One day, Lin Xia will tell him, or he will not say it.
But none of that mattered, as long as she loved him and was willing to be with him, it was enough......
