"It's too much, big water, so be it, I'll take the pig's head, and you can take the large intestine back." Father Lin said.

Lin Dong stepped forward and handed a cigarette to Liu Dashui, "Uncle Dashui, smoke." ”

Liu Dashui hurriedly took out a cigarette for Lin Dong, Lin Dong refused to take it, Liu Dashui is an elder, and when he came back, he met for the first time, and there was no reason to take the elder's cigarette.

Father Lin saw the two of them pushing around, impatient, and said, "Da Shui, the child just came back, you should take the cigarette he respects!" ”

Liu Dashui smiled embarrassedly and took it, "You see in my house, I'm really embarrassed to smoke Dongzi's cigarettes." Brother Lin, you can take everything back, we don't like to eat pig intestines, you don't know. ”

Father Lin didn't shirk anymore, picked up his things, said hello to Liu Dashui, and walked out of the door, Lin Dong followed behind, out of the courtyard gate of Liu Dashui's house.

Walking outside, Lin Dong saw that his father was carrying so many things in his hand, and said, "Dad, give me half of it, and I'll carry some for you." ”

Father Lin held a cigarette in his mouth, handed the thing in his hand to Lin Dong, freed one hand, put the cigarette in his mouth in his hand, and said: "Dongzi, I still remember when you were in the first grade of primary school, I killed pigs for others, you had to help me carry things, I gave you a pig's head, hey, your baby held back a few steps, and threw the pig's head on the ground." ”

Lin Dong smiled, "Dad, is there such a thing, why don't I have any impression at all?" ”

Father Lin laughed and said, "Why is there no such thing, is it possible for your father to lie to you?" ”

Father and son laughed and walked on the dark night road. There was talk and laughter along the way. After two cigarettes, he returned home.

When Mother Lin saw that the grandfather and son were back, she immediately put the dishes covered in the pot outside. Father Lin put down his things, walked to the yard, looked around Lin Dong's car, and nodded as he watched.

Mother Lin came out and shouted: "Old man, don't look at it, you can't open it again, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”

Father Lin smiled, "Yes, I won't open it." But my baby will open, and that's enough. ”

At half past eight, the family of three sat down to eat. Lin Dong took out a bottle of good wine and poured a glass for his father. smiled: "Dad, you drink this wine." ”

Father Lin said: "Dongzi, pour less for your mother, and drink some if you are happy today." ”

Lin Mu said: "Yes, Dongzi, pour me some, and I'll drink some too." "She used to rarely drink alcohol, but now that her son is home for the New Year, she is happy. So I wanted to drink some too.

Lin Dong found a small wine glass for his mother, poured wine for her, and the family of three toasted together.

Father Lin took a drink, nodded, only to feel that the mellow aroma was thick and soft, and asked, "Dongzi, this wine is quite expensive, right?" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Dad, you can drink it with confidence, I'll bring back two boxes." "This is an authentic Moutai wine, which Lin Dong spent a lot of money to buy.

Although the food at home does not look as good as in the restaurant. And the method is also very simple, but the taste is very good, very delicious, Lin Dong eats a large piece, and eats it until his belly rises.

The two of them chatted while eating. A bottle of wine has bottomed out before you know it.

After eating, Mother Lin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Brush the pot and wash the dishes.

Father Lin took all the things that people gave him on the pig today, began to classify them, and began to take care of the pig's large intestine.

Lin Dong sat next to him and watched, he didn't know how to take care of these things, and he couldn't intervene, so he chatted with his father, "Dad, our family has collected so many things, and we can't finish eating, don't slaughter the pig in the pen." ”

Mother Lin was brushing the pot, and when she heard this, she turned around and said with a smile: "Dongzi, your father took care of all the things that people gave them and took them to the market to sell them." ”

Lin Dong asked puzzledly: "Mom, when we kill pigs here for the New Year, who will spend money to buy those?" ”…,

"It's all picked up by vendors from other places, and it is estimated that they are transported to other places to sell." Mother Lin said with a smile.

Lin Dong understood.

Father Lin said: "Dongzi, our family hasn't killed a pig for more than ten years, and we have to kill one today, do you understand?" ”

Lin Dong understands his parents' thoughts, the past ten years have been more than ten years of poverty for the Lin family, more than ten years of being looked down upon, and his parents want to tell the whole village that their family has turned over by killing pigs for the New Year! Lin Dong smiled, no wonder he found that his father's waist seemed to be straighter than before.

"Dad, are you going to sell these at the market tomorrow?" Lin Dong asked.

Father Lin nodded, "Yes, otherwise why would I take care of it overnight." Tomorrow morning, there will be vendors coming to the market to collect it, and it is almost the New Year, so I have to go there early in the morning. ”

Lin Dong said: "Dad, then I'll go with you." ”

"Okay, I haven't been in a sedan chair yet, so you can drive me to the market." Father Lin said with a smile.

Lin Dong turned around and asked Lin's mother, "Mom, are you going too?" Tomorrow morning, our family of three will go to the town to eat fritters and drink spicy soup. I haven't eaten that thing in a long time, weird thing. ”

Mother Lin turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the town to eat." ”

At this time, Lin Dong's mobile phone rang, and he took out his mobile phone to see that it was Gao Qian calling.

"Hey, Qian, well, I arrived home early, and I've been dealing with the folks, so I forgot to tell you."

Gao Qian sent a few text messages to Lin Dong in the afternoon, but Lin Dong didn't see it and didn't reply, so in a hurry, she called Lin Dong, and when she learned that he arrived home safely, she let go of her hanging heart, said something about love, and hung up the phone.

Mother Lin wiped the water on her hands on her apron, leaned in front of Lin Dong, and asked, "Dongzi, Mom heard that the person who called you just now seems to be a woman, isn't it?" ”

Father Lin also pricked up his ears and waited for his son's answer.

Lin Dong nodded and said, "Dad, Mom, it was my girlfriend who called me just now, named Gao Qian." ”

The old couple glanced at each other, a smile appeared on their faces, and Mother Lin hurriedly asked, "What does the girl look like, do you have any photos?" ”

Lin Dong opened the photo album in his mobile phone, there were many photos of Gao Qian in it, and the old couple came over, staring at the mobile phone in Lin Dong's hand without blinking. Lin Dong's fingers swiped across the screen. Toggle a photo. until I looked through all the photos of Gao Qian on my phone.

Father Lin put down the work in his hand, Mother Lin also brought a stool and sat down, this girlfriend of her son looks handsome, and the old couple have never seen such a good-looking girl in their lives, and they are happy that their son can find such a girlfriend.

"Dongzi, how is Miss Xiaogao's personality?" Mother Lin asked, what she and Father Lin are most concerned about is this, as long as people are not ugly, but their character must be good, otherwise they will not be the daughter-in-law of their Lin family.

Lin Dong smiled: "Gao Qian, she is generous. Lively personality, no matter how specific I am, I can't say, anyway, the personality is very good. ”

"the baby, don't you know the baby's personality? We can't look down on girls who don't care. Father Lin smiled.

Lin Dong remembered what Gao Hongjun had said before going home. said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, Gao Qian's father asks you to take time to go to Suzhou City to discuss the matter between me and Gao Qian after the New Year." ”

"Really?"

The old couple was overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't keep their mouths together.

Father Lin said: "Dongzi, you are also a big man, it is time to get married as soon as possible, and let me and your mother hold our grandson." By the way, what does Miss Xiao Gao do at home? ”

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, he couldn't tell Gao Hongjun that he was the black boss of Su City, thinking that Gao Hongjun had already washed his hands and started a business, so he said: "Her father is in business." Mom was gone for a long time. In this way, it cannot be regarded as a deception to the parents. …,

Father Lin said: "People who do business are very shrewd, can your baby deal with it?" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Dad, his dad is not a small businessman, he is a big businessman, not the kind of person you think." ”

Father Lin nodded and smiled.

Mother Lin asked, "Big business? How big a business? ”

Lin Dong said: "I can't say this specifically, anyway, it's very rich." Don't look at me now, but compared to his father, it's far worse. ”

Mother Lin was afraid that her son would be under pressure. said: "Dongzi, you don't have a psychological burden, no matter how big his business is, he is so old, wait for you in a few decades." Guaranteed to be better than him! ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Mom, don't worry. His father is also self-made, and he doesn't have that kind of thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask me to invite you over to discuss my marriage with Gao Qian. ”

The old couple pondered for a while, and this is really the truth.

Mother Lin brushed the pots and bowls and went to make the bed for Lin Dong. This morning, she had taken all the bedding for Lin Dong outside to dry for a day.

Lin Dong's house has two rooms, one is a hall house facing north and south, and Lin's father and mother sleep in it. The other is the kitchen with the door facing east, the kitchen is divided into two small rooms, the outer one is the kitchen, and there is an earthen stove inside, the earthen stove has two hearths, on which sit two iron pots, one large and one small, the small pot for stir-frying, and the big pot for cooking. The small room inside is Lin Dong's bedroom, with only a wooden bed and a writing desk. Lin Dong has slept on that wooden bed for nearly twenty cold and summer, and the writing desk has long been dilapidated, Lin Dong has been reading and writing on that writing desk since he was in school, and there are many patterns and words carved with a knife when he was in school.

I still remember when I learned the text of Lu Xun's "Morning", after returning home, Lin Dong also carved a crooked word "morning" on his desk.

After Mother Lin made the bed, Father Lin's work was done. Lin Dong called his parents into the room and took out the gifts that Gao Qian bought for the second elder, "Dad, Mom, you see, these are all gifts from Gao Qian, she went skiing in Hokkaido, otherwise, she would probably come back with me." ”

Gao Qian bought clothes, supplements and other things for Lin Dong's parents, and even skin care products, which were given to Lin Dong's mother.

"Mom, you can use this, and apply it to your hands morning and night, and your hands won't be chapped." Lin Dong took a hand cream and handed it to his mother, thinking that Gao Qian's thing was practical to buy, and Lin's mother's hands were cracked in winter, very dry and rough.

Mother Lin was holding the hand cream in her hand, her heart was warm, and she had not met yet, and her impression of her future daughter-in-law was very good.

Lin Dong picked up two down jackets and gave one to each of his parents, "Dad, Mom, you can try whether this dress fits." ”

The old couple tried it and it fit perfectly.

Mother Lin asked, "Dongzi, how does Miss Xiaogao know what size we are wearing?" ”

Lin Dong said: "She asked me before, I told her, and I didn't know at the time that she asked to buy clothes for you." ”

Next, there are pants and shoes, and the old couple tried them one by one, and they all fit well.

"Baby, people have given us so many things, have you given some gifts to Miss Xiaogao and her father?" Mother Lin asked, she was afraid that her son would not understand the etiquette and forget to return the etiquette to others.

Lin Dong smiled: "Don't worry, Mom, I sent it before I came back." ”

Father Lin remembered something and said, "Dongzi, your teacher Luo in middle school was kind to you, you take the time to bring your things and go to Teacher Luo's house to meet him." ”

In Lin Dong's third year of junior high school, Lin's father stepped on the empty scaffolding on the construction site, threw it off, and broke his arm all the time, so he could only recuperate at home, unable to go out to earn money, and could not pay Lin Dong's tuition. Because of this, Lin Dong plans to take a year off from school, prepare to go to the construction site to do a small job, earn money and go back to school. …,

Luo Hengliang was Lin Dong's homeroom teacher at the time, and after learning that he had the idea of suspending school, he immediately rode to Lin Dong's house, lectured Lin Dong, and took the initiative to help Lin Dong pay the tuition, and bought Lin Dong a semester meal ticket.

After graduating from junior high school, Luo Hengliang's concern for Lin Dong has not been broken, and there has been a correspondence between teachers and students. Whether it was Lin Dong or Lin Dong's parents, their family thought that if there was no financial help and spiritual enlightenment from Mr. Luo, Lin Dong would probably have given up his blood, and he would not be where he is today.

Lin Dong thought of Mr. Luo, the year after graduating from college, because he didn't make a appearance, he never wrote to him, and then he achieved something, and because he was too busy with things, he didn't have time to contact his teacher, and now that he thinks about it, his heart is full of guilt.

"Dad, I'll go see Teacher Luo early tomorrow morning."

Father Lin nodded, "Your teacher Luo loves to drink, bring him two bottles of good wine, and then bring him the big pig's head that your Uncle Da Shui gave to our family tonight." ”

Lin Dong nodded, Father Lin and Luo Hengliang often meet, know Luo Hengliang's preferences, and know Luo Hengliang's understanding is deeper than Lin Dong.

Mother Lin said: "Daddy, it's not early, let the child rest early." ”

Father Lin nodded and went out of Lin Dong's room. Mother Lin called Lin Dong hot water to wash his feet and face, watched Lin Dong finish washing and went to bed, helped her son turn off the light, and then left Lin Dong's room lightly.

Lin Dong was lying on the bed, although the wooden bed at home was relatively hard, but he had slept for more than ten years, it was the most suitable bed for him, and he felt very comfortable to sleep on. The bottom of the mattress is covered with dry reed wool, which is very warm, and the bedding is freshly dried during the day, and there is still the smell of sunlight.

Lin Dong lay on the bed, sent a few text messages to Gao Qian, and fell asleep. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
