The two sisters, Jiang Yan and Jiang Nan, sat on a stool on the side and watched TV. Lin You hugged the kitten thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

The fourth uncle's voice in the living room was getting louder and louder, what was the last time he drank with the deputy bureau of so-and-so, and he was eating and playing cards with the director. It took tens of thousands of clouds at one time. Anyway, it's all about his glorious deeds. Who else gave him something, where are you going to play this year, and you have made an appointment with someone or something. It was blown out of the sky, and even Lin Yu and Lin Fei in the inner room could imagine that the fourth uncle must be full of red light and full of courage now.

Jiang Yan looked indifferent, but Jiang Nan was very close to Lin Fei, and from time to time she came over and whispered in Lin Fei's ear to expose her father's true face. For example, I made an appointment to go out with something, but in fact, people just made a casual polite remark, and I didn't take it seriously at all.

Lin Fei listened to Jiang Nan with a smile while dividing his mind and guiding his true power in his body.

"Brother Feifei, I feel like you've come back this time as if you've changed your personality." Jiang Nan will only be so casual and generous when she is with Lin Fei, usually this girl is introverted and doesn't like to talk, her grades are not good, her interpersonal relationships in school are also poor, and her temper is more stubborn, so she is not as liked as her sister at home, her sister Jiang Yan studies well, has good interpersonal relationships, and will also please her parents. In this comparison, Jiang Nan is even more unpopular. And it just so happened that Lin Fei was in the same situation before, plus the two of them had similar interests and hobbies, so naturally there was a taste of sympathy, and the relationship between them became very good.

"Has it changed? I don't feel it. Lin Fei said softly.

"I've become mature and stable." Jiang Nan looked slightly surprised. "How so? There is also a feeling that Eun seems to be very sharp. ”

Although the two were talking on the side, Jiang Yan and Lin You could also hear it, only the little boy named Huanhuan was boredly flipping through a comic book on the side.

"Sharp?" Lin Fei was puzzled, "Why do you say that?" ”

Jiang Nan observed Lin Fei carefully, and said in a thoughtful manner: "I feel that you have become confident!" That's right! Assertive! In the past, Fei Fei Ge had a taste of lack of confidence. Now Fei Feige is completely different. ”

Lin Fei was slightly surprised: "I feel very keen." But do you feel that I was better than I used to be, or is it better than I am now? ”

"Before." Jiang Nan said without hesitation.

"Why?"

"I don't know." Jiang Nan smiled and moved a small stool to sit next to Lin Fei.

At this moment, the people in the living room came to call for dinner. Several people went out of the inner room together.

In the middle of the living room, a large round table is filled with more than a dozen home-cooked dishes, and the air is filled with the aroma of stir-fried vegetables and broth. The fourth uncle sat on the chair with a golden knife, and pulled the second uncle to sit with him. Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng are still adding food and taking chopsticks. It feels like the whole family is busy with Lin Fei and their family.

After eating, his father Lin Jianguo helped collect the dishes and dishes, and his mother Jiang Feng was responsible for washing the dishes. Others also sat still. Every time Lin Fei saw this scene, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Father and mother are polite and kind, and they rush to do anything, but in the annual gathering here of my grandmother, Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng do things every time, and everyone else does nothing, as if everything is taken for granted. It seems that everyone is used to Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng doing more than anything. It used to be the same.

Lin Fei still remembers that when he was a child, when his fourth uncle was in high school, his grandmother's family was poor and couldn't come up with any money, so his mother came out to work early, and after combining with his father, the two had low wages, and Lin Jianguo was still an ordinary textile factory worker at that time. And the fourth uncle's tuition fee, as well as food and housing, are all responsible for his own family. Half of the two people's salaries have to be spent on the fourth uncle every month, of which the father's salary accounts for most of it, which means that most of it is actually the money of his father Lin Jianguo. Later, the fourth uncle was ready to do business, but he lacked start-up capital and couldn't raise money, so he had no choice but to borrow money from Jiang Feng, but there was no money here at that time, and Jiang Feng was also very embarrassed. It was his father Lin Jianguo who decided to lend his real estate certificate to his fourth uncle for a loan, and his mother was a little hesitant, but at his father's insistence, he got the first start-up capital for his fourth uncle's business. By now, the fourth uncle seems to have forgotten the previous things a long time ago.

After eating, finish brushing the bowl. The juniors were called to other rooms, leaving the elders to sit and chat.

"Brother Jianguo, how is your bookstore running now?" The second uncle brought the topic to Lin Fei's father.

"I was about to tell you about it." Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng looked at each other and spoke. "There's something to do with Yuansheng."

Yuansheng is also the fourth uncle. He was smoking, and when he heard Lin Jianguo mention himself, he was stunned. "What's the matter? Tell me about it? ”

"It's the problem of our bookstore, now that our business is getting better and better, and we are ready to open another branch, we just don't have enough money in our hands, so" Lin Jianguo also discussed with Jiang Feng in advance, but now in front of so many people, I still can't help but feel a little hot.

The fourth uncle frowned, his eyes matched the fourth uncle's mother, and then said: "Originally, it was no problem to borrow some money, but recently there was a problem with the capital chain of my supermarket, and I don't know what to do if I lack hundreds of thousands of holes?" Originally, I was going to discuss the loan with the third brother this time, you see, Brother Jianguo, I am also better, there is no way. He had a helpless expression.

Lin Jianguo was originally very confident, after all, he had a deep relationship with the fourth uncle before, and now that he has developed it, it should be no problem to borrow some money, but the fourth uncle refused directly without even listening to the amount of borrowed money. He and Jiang Feng's faces suddenly became a little ugly. Jiang Feng's eyes fell to the second uncle's family sitting on the side.

The second uncle was about to speak, but was pulled by the second uncle, and rushed to speak first: "Our family has no money, and the benefits of the Water Conservancy Bureau are not good, just rely on that little salary, and Huanhuan will also go to a better primary school" The words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious - no money.

Instead, my grandmother spoke: "If it's money, I still have some here, do you see if you have enough?" ”

How could Lin Jianguo take the old man's money, and hurriedly excused himself.

"Actually, Brother Jianguo, isn't that little bookstore in your house good? What other branches to open, branches are not so easy to open, I have been in the supermarket for so long, and the streets inside are relatively clear. It's easy to open a branch, but it's hard to make a profit. It's better to run a good family honestly than anything else. The fourth uncle advised.

Lin Jianguo smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, we have plans." Jiang Feng, who was sitting next to him, had always had a soft surname, and when he saw Lin Jianguo's ugly face, he pulled him up.

"Let's go and throw the garbage bags away." She smiled and made an excuse, pulled Lin Jianguo and left.

Lin Fei was sitting in the inner room, and the words just now could actually be heard by everyone inside, and Lin You's face immediately turned cold. The two brothers and sisters also heard from their mother about that period, and the fourth uncle borrowed the story of living at home. So the relationship between the two families is also very clear.

Jiang Yan's face remained unchanged, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Jiang Nan's face was a little unsightly. He looked at Lin Fei cautiously.

"Fifigo"

Lin Fei's face softened: "It's none of your business, it's nothing." "The fourth uncle's surname Ge knew it in his previous life. Not surprising.

With Jiang Fenglin Jianguo leaving, there was silence in the living room for a while, and they started chatting again.

"Eldest sister, it's not easy for their family." The second uncle spoke. "Look at the eldest sister, she doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry. Dress also does not pay attention. ”

"The eldest sister is having a hard time. Look at her now, she is only a few years older than us, but she looks like she is more than a decade older, she is too tired from work, and she has no time or money for maintenance. The fourth uncle sighed and said. When the eldest sister married Lin Jianguo, I knew that it would be like this. ”
