Chapter 16: Farewell to the Old Year

Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the town is still a little lively, no matter how hard and helpless the past year, people at this time still have smiles on their faces, hoping to have good luck in the coming year.

Think about the Spring Festival in the previous life, what New Year's films, Spring Festival Gala, New Year's Eve concert, Jiwufu, maybe at this time in the previous life, there are still people worried about the final dedication, it's really nostalgic, although many people have pasted the word blessing in front of their homes, but there is no mobile phone to scan it.

When I arrived at the old money grocery store, a lot of money was posting Spring Festival couplets, but the words on this Spring Festival couplets couldn't bear to look at it directly, and it was estimated that the red paper had a festive atmosphere.

Seeing that a lot of money had just finished pasting this Spring Festival couplet, Lin Mo shouted: "Boss Qian, I wish you a prosperous business and many blessings." ”

Qian Duoduo laughed, and when he looked back, he saw that his stupid son seemed to be thinking about something before he felt that something was wrong, "You kid..."

After entering the house.

"See what needs to be bought." Qian Duoduo dusted off the counter and said.

"Nope."

"What are you doing without you?"

"Don't you know, I'm going to Trade Square tomorrow."

"That's tomorrow, what are you going to do today, if you want to eat and drink, I can tell you, no way, the accommodation fee is 5 yuan a night." There was a lot of money, and the old profiteer could see Lin Mo's intention at a glance, and he also knew that Lin Mo had money on him.

"Oh, I'm hungry, can I have lunch?" Lin Mo said and took off the woven bag on his back.

"A dollar for lunch."

"Damn, what's wrong with an old friend having a meal at your house."

"Go and go, who is your old friend, so let's see that we have met, lunch and dinner and tomorrow's breakfast will charge you a total of two yuan, it's a good deal, there is no food sold in this town, you have to think about it." Qian Haoduo showed a 'hehe' smile, as if he was avenging Lin Mo for making his son cry last time.

But a lot of money is telling the truth, at least there is no such thing as a restaurant or snack bar in the town, and if you have money, you would rather go home and cook for yourself, no one will spend money on such a place, because it would be good to be full.

Lin Mo sighed, and had already untied the hemp rope at the mouth of the woven bag.

"Mom, Uncle Lin Mo is here."

I saw a little boy appear at the door of the grocery store, followed by a middle-aged woman.

"Brother Lin, go to my house, I won't say thank you much for what happened last time, and I'll pay you back when Brother Hai's compensation comes down."

The people who came were Wang Hai's widow and his son Wang Dalong.

"It's okay, it's okay, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart." After speaking, Lin Mo found that it seemed that he was a junior, and their mother and son had become 'sister and brother' again.

"It's okay, then it's troublesome sister-in-law, I happen to have a leg of mutton left over from the last hunt, and tonight is just the right time to let Dalong taste the taste of mutton." Lin Mo said and picked up the woven bag and prepared to leave.

"Leg of lamb?" There is a lot of money, and his eyes light up.

Wow...

"Daddy, I want to eat mutton." Chant cried when he saw Lin Mo get up.

"What are you crying about, do you know what mutton tastes like, you have to eat it." Qian Haoduo glared at him and walked up with a smile.

"Mom, what is mutton?" Wang Dalong asked.

"Mom hasn't eaten this either, but what your Uncle Lin brought should be delicious."

"Wait... The eldest sister of the Wang family, you see that you orphans and widows just bring a man back, this is not good, it is better to let Brother Lin live in my house, tonight I have a treat, how about your mother and son come to my house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. A lot of Qian Qian's eyes were almost gone, and his face was full of smiles.

"Don't worry, money shopkeeper, my eldest nephew is still afraid of gossip?"

"Hah... Hah." Qian Duoduo's smile was about to stiffen, "Dare to love your relationship is to switch at will."

However, Lin Mo felt very inconvenient, he had been to Wang Hai's house, and there were indeed no two bedrooms, and he was afraid that if it wasn't for Wang's sister-in-law, they would have to sleep in the hall, and there were not so many quilts, "Boss Qian, the cost of eating at your house is too high, we really can't afford it." ”

"What do you say, your brother Lin lives in my house every day, and I can't charge you a penny, right?" After Qian Duoduo finished speaking, he felt that he had said something wrong.

"Okay, sister-in-law, we will have dinner at Boss Qian's house today, and you heard what he said just now." Lin Mo said.

Qian Duoduo's face was blackened.

Sister-in-law Wang just covered her mouth and smiled.

"I heard it, just now he said Uncle Lin, you don't charge money for living in his house every day." Wang Dalong said bluntly.

"Hey." Lin Mo patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder, and Qian Duoduo was frightened.

"Look at what scares you."

"Since Boss Qian is so polite, I won't refuse, let's come to my house for dinner at noon." Sister-in-law Wang said.

Lin Mo nodded, cut a third of the leg of mutton and wrapped it for Sister-in-law Wang to take back, and gave the rest a lot of money.

There is a lot of money, so I naturally want to try it at noon, first, I haven't eaten it myself, and secondly, this son is really too noisy.

"Wait, how do you cook this thing?" Qian Haoduo asked.

"I won't just boil it, stupid, remember to put some chili peppers, otherwise it will be a mess."

"Sao? I just like to be sassy, hahaha."

......

At noon, at Wang's sister-in-law's house, she also wrapped dumplings in advance, cut a little mutton and cooked it in the simplest way, before the meal, Wang's sister-in-law first brought a plate of dumplings and a bowl of mutton soup and put it in front of Wang Hai's tablet, and did not speak for a long time.

When he turned around, his eyes were already red, and then he said with a smile: "Eat quickly, this dumpling is filled with cabbage, it is a little vegetarian, brother, don't dislike it." ”

"Sister-in-law is polite, by the way, how old is Dalong this year." Lin Mo asked.

"I'll be ten years old after the New Year."

"Then I should go to school, is there a school in this town?" Lin Mo asked.

"School?"

"It's a place where people are taught to read."

"Yes, next year I plan to send Dalong over to recognize words, Brother Hai said when he was there that he must let Dalong learn to read, although now many people think that literacy is useless and can be fed, but Brother Hai said that being able to read is to be able to do a bookkeeper on the construction site, which is much stronger than selling coolies." Sister-in-law Wang said.

Lin Mo nodded, "That's the case, it must be useful, but I don't know if this tuition fee is expensive." ”

"Fortunately, I've already found a factory, I have a job to do, I'll go after the New Year, and it's still okay for Dalong to read and write."

Sister-in-law Wang looked at the big dragon who was desperately eating mutton, and smiled with satisfaction, although the life of the two of them was not good, but it was finally stronger than most people's families, it can be seen from the construction of this house, now the man in the family is gone, but life has to go on.

In fact, what they are even more worried about now is that Wang Hai's compensation will definitely be remembered after it comes down, in such a place where there is no legal system, even if it is not impossible to die because of this money, how to deal with this money has been bothering this woman for a long time, and even has already figured out that when the money arrives, he will directly scatter a hundred at the door, so that their mother and son can still be safe.
