12. Chapter 12
When Lin Zimo left, Liu Langzhong also prepared a four-color ceremony: four cocoon silks; four pieces of muslin; four-color dim sum; Four jars of peanut oil were piled up with a wagon.
The coachman of Ouyang Mansion, who was driving the car, was a man in his twenties, so strong that he had a figure of more than 1.8 meters, which invisibly relieved Lin Zimo, who was carrying a lot of money.
With money in his arms, Lin Zimo had no intention of shopping more, so he asked the coachman to turn around, bought a pig's hind leg in the butcher shop, and went straight home.
The carriage is fast, the ox cart sways the road for a little and a half hours, and the carriage arrives in more than half an hour, which is equivalent to more than an hour. Lifted the curtain of the car, saw the village from a distance, Lin Zimo's heart fluctuated, eight days ago from here into the city, he was still a penniless poor boy, came back today, became a nouveau riche with a lot of money, since then, annoying coarse cloth clothes, heavy patch quilts, eating sorghum rice, smelling the fragrance of other people's Halazi, all worship!!
He is willing to be an upstart!
Early in the morning, I saw my grandmother sitting at the door, spinning thread and looking towards the intersection. Seeing the concern of his relatives, Lin Zimo didn't know why his eyes were sore, so he hurriedly raised his head and blinked a few times. Then he smiled and waved at his grandmother: "Grandma, I'm back." ”
Huang Shi heard the familiar shout, and hurriedly wiped his somewhat cloudy eyes, and looked carefully, isn't it? In the tall carriage sat her most painful grandson. The old lady hurriedly stood up and shouted into the courtyard: "Hurry up, Zimo is back." He stood on tiptoe and greeted him.
When the carriage stopped, Lin Zimo jumped down the low stool and hurriedly supported his grandmother: "Milk, what are you doing?" Be careful. Lin Zimo was scared to death, and the old lady would be in trouble if she fell down again.
Huang looked at his neatly dressed grandson and said with a smile: "It's okay, seeing my good grandson happy, your father threw yourself in the county town." "For this, the Huang family didn't talk much about Lin Huaide, and Lin Huaide hid when he saw his mother these days.
Lin Huaide, who was cleaning up the sticks and sweet potatoes and other things in the yard, also ran out, saw the things in the carriage and thought that this was a thank you gift from the Ouyang family, and thanked them again and again, letting the coachman enter the house, and Lin Zihao and his brothers carried the things in the carriage.
Looking at these things, the whole family swallowed. The things given by the two are more practical, not to mention the soft cloth, delicious snacks, even the oil and noodles have not been eaten for a long time, and the snow-white rice is even more rare in the north, and the price is twice that of white noodles.
Grandma kept holding Lin Zimo's hand, and her calloused hands made Lin Zimo warm. It may be the reason for being sick since he was a child, grandparents have always been more partial to him, grandpa has not seen it directly, the feeling in his heart is not very big, grandma in the days he passed, it can be said that he took good care of him, carrying the eldest aunt, the food saved from her mouth, a piece of cake, an egg, etc., were secretly stuffed to him, for fear that something would go wrong with his body.
casually rewarded two taels of silver, sent the coachman away, and helped his grandmother into the house in the eyes of the family who were about to fall.
Grandma also looked at him suspiciously, Lin Zimo smiled, took out the cloth bag with silver from the pile of things and opened it, the white silver almost blinded the family, and when Lin Zimo took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, he shocked the family even more. Lin Huaide trembled: "Zimo, did you go to rob?" ”
Lin Zimo laughed "haha": "Dad, your old man looks up to his son too much, with your son's small body, it's almost the same as letting people rob him." Lin Huaide nodded: "That's right." He shook his head again: "You kid hurry up, don't be in a hurry with your grandmother." ”
When Lin Zimo finished speaking, the family was stunned. Looking at the pile of silver tickets, it was like a dream. After all these years of frugality, I can't afford to pay for my children to go to school, but now, with all of a sudden, all the problems are solved, but there is no real feeling.
Grandma and mother wiped away their tears, their rough sleeves rubbed their faces, Lin Huaide and the three children were also flustered, they didn't know what to say, Lin Zimo didn't know how to persuade them, and they were stunned. After a while, grandma wiped away her tears: "Okay, Tuo Zimo's blessing, the life of the family is looking good, you can pack up your things and see what you plan in the future." ”
The old lady's words made everyone take action, and for a while the house was full of laughter, and the little sister touched Lin Zimo's royal blue cocoon silk robe and was envious: "Fourth brother, you look so good in this, and the material is so comfortable." Lin Zimo said with a smile: "There are so many fabrics, let my mother make it for you tomorrow, but the fourth brother broke his promise, and he didn't buy you a headband to tie your hair." "I left in a hurry, and I forgot what I promised Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled and touched a pink material again: "It's okay, with the fabric, the headband can also be made by yourself." Zhou slapped her hand and scolded with a smile: "Just you, a little girl, don't say that you feel sorry for your fourth brother, and you always trouble him." Lin Yu smiled: "Make me new clothes, and I won't trouble the fourth brother." At this moment, even grandma laughed: "If you don't make new clothes, you will trouble your fourth brother?" ”
When everything was in order, grandma sat cross-legged on the kang, and the father and son sat on the edge of the kang and the bench, not only Lin Yu was interested in Lin Zimo's new clothes, but Lin Zihao and his brothers also touched them with their hands enviously, Lin Zimo smiled and said: "There are so many silk cloths at home, let my mother make one for you tomorrow." The atmosphere in the room was high for a while, and Zhou and Lin Yu did not discuss it and went to the kitchen to cook.
After everyone sat down, Lin Zimo said what Liu Langzhong said. Nowadays, people like land, and Lin Huaide is no exception, and he immediately became elated: "Mr. Liu is really good, this kind of opportunity is not easy to find, sometimes you can't buy land even if you have money, thank him tomorrow." ”
Grandma and the others are also happy, whether a family is prosperous or not depends on how much real estate he has purchased. Lin Zihao is concerned about his academic problems, he is already fourteen years old, and he can't put it off anymore: "Dad, when it stops, should we contact the school?" Lin Zihan also looked over with concern, and Lin Huaide waved his hand: "Go, all three of you go, that is, the school has already opened in the second half of the year, and you will have to wait until next year." ”
After thinking about it, Lin Zimo said: "Look at the situation, if you can't transfer halfway, if you can't hire a gentleman yourself, the second brother had better try it next year, and it's an experience if you can't pass the exam." In a word, the house was boiling, even the grandmother was excited, the old man is a showman, the eldest son is also a showman, the family is rare to enter, it has always been the pain of the old man, if there are children and grandchildren in school, even if it is still a show, it is also an explanation to the old man.
The dinner was very rich, the big pieces of meat were stewed, the ribs were also stewed in a big pot, the oil and water were sufficient, the white flour cake was enough, and the pearl and white rice porridge were added, and the tongue of the person who ate it had to swallow it, Lin Zimo was very satisfied, and the family was happy.
