Chapter Forty-Eight: Singles Everywhere
Lin He was supposed to send out five hundred this year, but when he heard the old man so much, he thought about it in his heart, he could give money, but you can't take it for granted and take it for granted, you can't get used to it, and the old man can't do it.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he said: "If I don't have the money this year, I won't send the New Year's money to the elderly." ”
The old man was a little disappointed, and said: "You are also a big boss now, I heard that you have earned tens of millions this year, and there are few people in Beishan County who are richer than you, so you can simply give the elderly a monthly pension of three or five hundred, and the people in the village can still read your good." ”
There are people with other thoughts, even if the family has their own ideas.
Lin He is not a hairy boy, he sees many things farther than the old man, he doesn't jump into the pit at all, and says with a smile: "Master, who can say for sure about mining, maybe I earned it this year, and I will lose it next year." It is the intention of the younger generations that I give New Year's greeting money to the old people in the village, and it is the responsibility of the children and grandchildren to provide for the elderly. Besides, there is also the government, and the government is also responsible for solving the pension problem, or you will go to the county magistrate and let the government solve the pension problem of the elderly in the village. ”
The old man smiled unnaturally: "The county magistrate is what our people can see when they say they can see it." ”
Lin He didn't say anything more, ate a meal and left.
Today's incident reminded him that the old saying is humble and profitable, full of losses, and the rural customs are simple, but this does not mean that the common people do not have a small ninety-nine, let alone the elderly and the kind elderly.
……
On the day of going to the grave, go to two cars.
In the past, when I went to the grave, I either rode a motorcycle or drove a tractor, and I won't talk about the sin in the winter.
Today, there are not only motorcycles and tractors, but also small cars and Dongfeng trucks, which are more imposing.
This year, there are more people in the grave, the Lin He family, three generations within five suits, there are three grandfathers and three grandmothers, and a cousin's family, plus four aunts, nearly 50 people, large and small, and they are also prosperous.
Lin He's car, plus the old man, squeezed seven people.
Lin Guozhong and Huang Chunhua got on Lin Guoping's Dongfeng truck, and they were sitting in a big box.
The cab of the Dongfeng truck is so big, in addition to the driver who drove the car, five people were squeezed, all of whom were from the aunt's family, and the rest of the people had no choice but to sit in a big box.
Lin He drove in front of the road, and several old people sighed in the car.
I have never been in a car in my life, and today is the first time I have experienced it, and I have experienced that it is called a deep.
No wonder everyone wants to make a fortune, this bull head cart is comfortable to sit on.
When they came to the grave, they unloaded the goods and the offerings from the cart, and the people began to work.
Someone in the family has made a fortune, and it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, so this year there is a big sacrifice, one to comfort the ancestors in the spirit of the sky, and the other to ask the ancestors to have a spirit to bless the descendants of future generations, so the preparation is very grand.
According to the portal, plus the four aunts' families, a total of twelve families came, and each family had to offer a sheep.
The sheep have to be slaughtered, but there are few who can slaughter sheep, only Lin He and his son.
People will be lazy when they have money, and Lin Hezi is no exception.
I haven't slaughtered animals by myself for a year, and I really don't want to do this work, but I can't watch my father do it alone, so I can only pinch my nose and admit it, take a knife, and slaughter all twelve sheep with my father.
An aunt looked at it and sighed: "Lin He is really capable, he is a big boss and can still kill sheep." ”
Everyone listened to it and agreed, it is difficult to send carbon in the snow, but everyone will be the icing on the cake.
After killing the sheep, Lin Guozhong took Lin He, one grave after another, grandpa's, grandma's, grandpa's, grandma's, grandparents', grandparents' second grandfathers and grandmothers, and it is really difficult to remember all of the more than a dozen graves.
The layout of the cemetery is exquisite, and these need to be clarified.
Lin Guozhong even told Lin He where he would be buried when he died in the future.
There was a big pot in the cemetery, and a sheep was boiled; there was a small stove not far away, and several aunts fried the sheep's blood in two large pots in the earthen stove, and the aroma wafted over, and the people in the ditch had a great appetite, and they all waited by the pot with chopsticks to prepare to eat.
After eating the mutton, everyone sat and waited for the mutton to come out of the pot while talking.
After all, the grandfathers are old and have retired from the stage, and now it is Lin Guozhong's generation who are in charge.
The iron ore has been won, and we will wait for the people to go up after the spring of next year.
Lin Guoping asked Lin Guoren and Lin Guoyi if they would go to his mine, and the salary was good.
Lin Guoren and Lin Guoyi originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Lin He, and wanted to go to Lin He's mine next year, after all, they heard that Lin He's mine made a lot of money.
Speaking of mines, you can't avoid the Lin River.
The third uncle asked Lin He: "I heard that you have produced more than one million tons of ore this year and earned tens of millions!"
Lin He said with a smile: "How can there be tens of millions, don't listen to people's nonsense." ”
Although the envy was not good, the relatives did not ask any more questions.
After talking about the mine, Lin Guozhong and several brothers were concerned about the lifelong affairs of his youngest cousin Lin Guoxian.
Lin Guoxian is the son of his grandfather, he has not yet started a family, and he will be twenty-six years old after this year, which is definitely an older young man in the countryside, and he can't help but make people anxious.
Two or three years ago, Lin Guoxian was only twenty-two or three, and his grandfather was not in a hurry.
Two or three years have passed, and Lin Guoxian has reached twenty-five or sixteen, and Grandpa Tang is in a hurry.
The crowd worked together, whose girl was how old and whose girl hadn't gone out yet, and after a while of gossip, a few blind dates were quickly circled, and the uncle proposed: "Let Lin He drive the bull tomorrow, and say that the family will definitely be successful." ”
Everyone nodded and drove the bull head to say goodbye, which is definitely a big face.
Nodding his head and nodding his head, no one had much hope.
What kind of person Lin Guoxian is, everyone knows that he is not half a point stronger than the old bachelor Lin Guomao, he has no looks, he has no stature, he has no money, he is not smart, he is the most unproductive in the countryside.
Lin He even knew that this cousin's life was basically over.
In his previous life, he lived to be in his thirties, and this cousin is still a bachelor in his forties.
If you want to say that you can't blame your parents for beating a single, the most fundamental thing can only be that men are incapable.
A capable man, no matter how poor he is, can't marry a mother-in-law.
After caring about Lin Guoxian's lifelong events, everyone began to care about Lin He's major events again, and the sister-in-law said: "After this year, Lin He is also eighteen, and he has reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, Chunhua, have you inquired?"
Huang Chunhua said with a smile: "What's the hurry, I'll ask him in two years." ”
Several aunts said: "How can this kind of thing be delayed, if you don't go to school, you have to marry a daughter-in-law quickly." Don't look at Lin He is a big boss, this kind of thing has to be given by Chunhua, starting a family is a big deal, how can you get Lin He. ”
Some agreed, others disagreed.
Lin He didn't like it, but he had a smile on his face, so that people couldn't see it.
Second aunt Chen Xiulan said: "Don't worry about Lin He's affairs, sisters, it's too late to get married in college now, and Lin He can't find a daughter-in-law, so don't worry about the sister-in-law at all, it's not too late to wait a few years to talk about it." ”
These words reached the hearts of Lin Guozhong and Huang Chunhua, and Lin Ke also loved to listen to them.
Everyone nodded, marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal for Lin Guoxian, but it is indeed not a matter for Yaohe.
Huang Chunhua was not worried at all, to put it arrogantly, if his son could not find a daughter-in-law, then the men in Beishan would all be beaten to the deaths of singles, and several sisters were worried about it, so they had to talk to Lin Guozhong when they turned around.
After waiting for more than an hour, the lamb was finally stewed.
After eating the mutton, he began to burn paper money for his ancestors.
Dozens of catties of various paper money, as well as a house cart made of paper paste, piled up a big pile, burned for more than half an hour, until the last wisp of fire was extinguished, nearly fifty people surrounded a big circle kowtow, this time the ancestor worship is over.
packed up their belongings and loaded the car, and everyone went home.
When they arrived at the village, the four aunts' families rode their motorcycles home first.
Lin Guozhong's brothers all moved to the city, Lin Guomin wanted to go home, Lin Guoping didn't leave for the time being, Lin Guozhong didn't want to leave, but Lin Jiang and Lin Yue still had to go to school, and Lin He didn't want to stay in the countryside, so he went back to the city.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he really didn't have much in common with the rural gang.
Even if you are barely socializing, your thinking is not on the same channel.
Different levels determine the difference in what you think.
Lin He also wanted to change, but he couldn't change anything.
The next day, Lin Guozhong drove to the village early in the morning.
Yesterday I had already responded, and today I wanted to drive a car to accompany Lin Guoxian on a blind date, but Lin He didn't go, so he could only come forward.
After lunch at noon, Lin He said to Huang Chunhua: "Mom, I bought a house in the provincial capital, with two floors, which is much stronger than our building, and you will go to the provincial capital to live for a while after a while." ”
Huang Chunhua is not surprised that her son is buying a house in the provincial capital, even if Lin He is buying a house in the capital, he is not surprised, and said while washing the dishes: "What are you doing in the provincial capital, I don't know anyone, there is something wrong with me living alone!"
Lin He thought about it, pinched his nose and said: "There is nothing good in this place in Beishan, when Lin Jiang and Lin Yue go to college, let's move our family to the provincial capital, I will stay in the provincial capital for longer and longer in the future, and it is not a way for you to stay in Beishan." ”
Huang Chunhua didn't think about it, so she said: "Don't go, what's good in the provincial capital." ”
Lin He didn't persuade again, the homeland is difficult to leave, it doesn't mean that you can move if you move.
Fortunately, the coming day is long, and there is time to persuade my mother.
In the evening, Lin Guozhong returned.
Huang Chunhua asked, "What's wrong with the blind date?"
Lin Guozhong sighed and said, "I don't think it's very likely. ”
Huang Chunhua was not surprised: "Just like Lin Guoxian, which woman is willing to follow him." ”
Lin Guozhong didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that the influence of this kind of external force was very limited, it all depended on the individual, Lin Guoxian himself was not angry, even if he drove a bull's head to give him a long face, he couldn't change anything.
