Volume 1 Chapter 9 The Rebel of a Wealthy Family
Wu's mother, who is forty-seven this year, has been working in the Lin Mansion for six years, and even the old sister who introduced her at the beginning has left, but she has persevered, and she has been staying for six years, and among the only seven servants in the Lin Mansion today, her service is the second longest after the housekeeper Fubo.
However, Mama Wu can stay for so long, which is also related to the authenticity of the Lin family. Although the Lin family is not a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, their treatment is outstanding. If there are some difficult things in the maid's house, the Lin family is more or less willing to help deal with it, and this alone has retained many people's hearts, such as Wu's mother, her son entered the Lin family's Kowloon Bank after graduation, and now although he is still just an ordinary cashier, his income is also higher than most of his peers who graduated in the same period, which makes her very satisfied.
Because the Lin family is sparsely populated, the work at home is not heavy. Clean the kitchen, two bathrooms, three toilets every day, clean up the room of the young master and a few young masters Sun, the room on the master's side is personally sorted out by the old housekeeper, and the rest of the time, except for the occasional car to buy vegetables, most of the time is idle. And these times are when Wu's mother chews her tongue with the other two servants who can speak well.
Recently, Mother Wu and the three of them have a new topic, the second young master at home, who has never learned and has no skills, recently I don't know if Lu Dao has been stimulated, or if he has taken the wrong medicine, it seems that he is going to learn well?
I don't go out of the door all day, I don't step out of the second door and lock myself in the room to look and write, and people are not as difficult to get along with as before, and I will take the initiative to greet people when we meet occasionally.
This strange scene is not only the old man and the young master who are speculating whether it is the gentleman who wants to play some kind of trick and ask for money, even their servants feel uncomfortable when they look at it.
The sky will be bright, and Wu's mother got up early today. As the servants of the Lin family, they eat and live in the Lin Mansion, and they have four days of vacation every month to go home. Today, it was Wu's mother's turn to be on duty, and it was dawning in the morning, so she had to get up and send the fresh milk and newspapers sent to the kitchen and the rooms of the master, the young master and the young master Sun.
Hong Kong in the 90s was too new to the mainland-born Lin Xiaozhi, and the day after returning home, he went to order a few sets of newspapers to adapt to Hong Kong as soon as possible.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Xiaozhi, who had been awake for a while and sat on the bed, holding a traditional book called "The Kulishov Effect" and reading it with relish, answered, and then the door was pushed open.
"Young Master Sun, the newspapers you ordered have been delivered, and the ink hasn't dried yet, so I'll leave it here for you!"
"It's Mother Wu, Xie Lu Xie!"
Lin Xiaozhi glanced up at the visitor, smiled and nodded. He woke up early today, and he had been at home for a few days, so it was time to go out and think of a way out.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but complain a little about the gentleman before. He left himself with a mess, and even if he behaved well at home these days, it seemed that in the eyes of others, it was just a means to squander money from home.
Lin Xiaozhi also thought about it seriously in the past two days, and felt that this kind of prejudice could not be reversed by his deliberate show in a day or two, so he simply stopped thinking about the idea of using his family to invest money in making movies for him, and was ready to try his luck out of the house. After all, it is now Hong Kong in 1988, and if the gold everywhere is missed, Lin Xiaozhi himself will not forgive himself.
Wu's mother's strange eyes were seen by him, and Lin Xiaozhi gradually got used to the eyes of a group of servants at home looking at him in the past few days.
There's no way, the bad impression left by that gentleman is too deep, but he has to take this first step, and if he doesn't change the bad impression left by his predecessor, it will not be good for future development.
Mother Wu put down the newspaper and turned around to go out, Lin Xiaozhi hurriedly stopped her, "Mother Wu, how is the breakfast prepared?" I'm a little hungry! ”
He has been rushing the manuscript day and night in the past two days, and his physical exertion is naturally great. In fact, he woke up hungry this morning.
Mother Wu said, "Young Master Sun, the kitchen has already begun to prepare, just wait a while!" The old man and the young master haven't gotten up yet! ”
Lin Xiaozhi nodded, "When breakfast is ready, let people come and call me!" ”
"It's good, Young Master Sun!" Wu's mother answered, took the door and walked out.
May 20 is just the most ordinary day for many citizens of Hong Kong, and only a few people who care about international current affairs know that the "Soviet-Argentine Geneva Agreement" officially came into force on May 15, and the first Soviet soldiers will be evacuated from Afghanistan today. In 1979, the Soviet Union concentrated more than 100,000 troops to invade Afghanistan, trying to control the Middle East and Central Asia. However, this red super empire did not expect that this seemingly victorious war dragged the red empire into the quagmire of war, and the Soviet Union successively mobilized more than 1.5 million troops to fight in Afghanistan, with a total of more than 50,000 casualties and a cost of 45 billion rubles, which seriously weakened the national strength and shook the foundation of Soviet rule. This boss's red empire is not far from extinction.
Lin Xiaozhi woke up very early today, much earlier than everyone else in the family. After Wu's mother put down the newspaper and left, because he was a little hungry, he had no intention of continuing to read, so he got up and got out of bed to finish washing, and just selected two ordinary clothes to put on from his pile of strange clothes, and a maid came to inform him that breakfast was ready, and with a few newspapers that had just been delivered to him before he had time to read, Lin Xiaozhi went downstairs and rushed to the restaurant on the first floor.
"Morning!"
Lin Xiaozhi was not the first to arrive at the restaurant, when he came down, his father, eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi and his sister-in-law Wang Xiaoman were already sitting at the dining table, and under the service of Fu Bo, they had breakfast.
"Young Master Sun, you're up!"
Lin Xiaozhi nodded, "Grandpa Fu, it's early!" ”
Father Lin Jiannian didn't pay attention to him, Lin Xiaozhi remembered that the relationship between the gentleman and him was not very good, so he didn't take the initiative to say hello.
He threw the newspaper on the table and sat down across from his eldest brother, "...... early"
Nodding with the eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi is a greeting, judging from the memories of the past, although the two are brothers, the relationship is also very ordinary, and when they took the initiative to say hello, Lin Xiaozhi had no intention of opening his mouth and sat down calmly.
"Young Master Sun, what do you want to eat? Chinese or Western? Fauber asked.
Lin Xiaozhi looked at the dining table, the Lin family's breakfast was not as luxurious as those so-called wealthy families in TV and movies, for example, Lin Jiannian's breakfast was just a bowl of black rice beef porridge accompanied by a small plate of unknown side dishes, and the bowl was not big and at most medium-sized, which was considered Chinese food. His brother and sister-in-law, on the other hand, served Western food, with a sandwich and a large glass of pure milk in front of each of them.
"Give me a ham sandwich, a bacon and beef sandwich, no salad dressing, a few more slices of lettuce. Another glass of tomato juice, even without milk. Why didn't you see the old man? ”
"My lord has been suffering from insomnia a lot lately, and the amount of sleeping pills used in the past two days is heavier than before, and it is estimated that it will take a while to wake up!" Fauber explained to him, summoned a servant to explain a few words, and soon the breakfast he asked for was delivered.
"Oh!"
As soon as Lin Xiaozhi closed his mouth, the entire restaurant fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere was very dull. Fu Bo saw that Lin Jiannian wanted to ask him something several times, but his son didn't give face, he still wanted to be a face person after all, and he also ate porridge with a face, spoonful after spoonful. Lin Xiaoyi didn't say anything with his wife, which made the atmosphere particularly embarrassing.
He had no choice but to ask, "Young Master Sun, are you going to go out later?" ”
He pulled a bench and sat next to Lin Xiaozhi. But no one in the family showed any objections, firstly, he was already old, and secondly, he had been in this family for decades, almost watching Lin Jiannian grow up with Lin Xiaoyi, Lin Xiaozhi's father and son, although he was a housekeeper, he was not an ordinary servant.
Lin Xiaozhi took a sip of freshly squeezed fresh tomato juice and nodded, "Well, contact a few friends to talk about something, it may be a few days outside for ......"
Putting down the glass containing the tomato juice, he took a bite of the bacon and beef sandwich that had just been made, and pretended to answer casually, but his eyes quickly swept over Lin Jiannian, who was sitting on the side and never said a word.
Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned that he was going to go out and not come back for a few days, Lin Jiannian finally couldn't help but change color on his face, put down the soup spoon and frowned and interjected: "Why do you want to go out again?" ”
"Well, it's a bit of a thing. A friend of mine introduced me to a Taiwanese businessman who was interested in investing in film production. We had a few conversations on the phone two days ago, and today we met to discuss. The day after tomorrow, I'm going to go to Taiwan and talk to that Taiwanese businessman! ”
This is naturally a lie, since the dove occupied the magpie's nest, Lin Xiaozhi has not contacted his group of fox friends and dog friends again, and he is tossing the script of "I'm Crazy for Qing". The reason why he said this was just to take money out of the pocket of this cheap dad.
Lin Jiannian snorted coldly, "Just your little catty, and go to Taiwan to talk to others, I think you have been sold, and you may have to help with the money!" ”
Lin Xiaozhi's 'face' also changed at the moment, and the tomato juice cup he had just picked up was also put down, and he turned his face to look at him, "Old Dou, I know that you don't like me." Yes, I'm the second in the family, I don't learn anything, I'm a social garbage. I don't have an older brother who is erudite and talented, and I don't have a third brother who is sensible and obedient. If you see that I'm not happy, give me a good time, just drive me out, anyway, I can't starve to death even if I go to the dock to work as a porter, as for it, you have to taunt me in a roundabout way whatever I say now......"
"You ......"
"Achi, how do you talk to Dad!"
"Alright...... Dad, you can also dissipate your anger! ”
As soon as the eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi saw the rumbling of cannons on the dining table, he suddenly couldn't sit still, he first opened his mouth to reprimand Lin Xiaozhi, and then hurriedly persuaded Lin Jiannian, who had a very ugly face.
Lin Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't appreciate it', and continued: "Am I wrong, you said that I am like a gangster, okay, I don't wear earrings and necklaces, I have thrown away rings, haircuts, and clothes, right?" You told the old man that I don't know how to learn, okay, I have embarrassed the Lin family, can't I change it? You like the eldest brother in the family industry, yes, I admit that the eldest brother is more knowledgeable and stable than me, so I didn't think about fighting with the eldest brother at the beginning, after the Lin family's property, you love to give it to whomever you want, you have raised me for more than 20 years, and this is enough. ”
"I took a fancy to the film market and wanted to invest in making movies, and I also admitted that I had found various excuses to ask my family for money before, so you scolded me, I didn't believe that I admitted it, I figured it out myself. Now I'm out to contact the funds, and you're still looking for a way to taunt me. Then I want to ask, Lao Dou, what do you want me to do? ”
The son of a wealthy family has no future, and if you want to be a 'rebel son of a wealthy family' like Li Zekai. Lin Xiaozhi secretly apologized to his cheap father in this life, he had to play a full set of plays, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain his transformation-
