242. Before the party
Last night, when my parents came home, it was already past seven o'clock, and after eating the dinner cooked by Lin Jin, they hurriedly got on the bus to the countryside early the next morning.
Dad drooped with a bitter gourd face, Lin Chen was still drowsy, Lin Jin's face was full of boredom, only Mom was in high spirits, excited to see many friends who hadn't seen him for a long time today.
My grandfather's family would hold a party every year around the third day of the Lunar New Year, and all my grandfather's children and relatives would gather at his house, usually sitting at three tables.
In the past, a group of married women acted as cooks for every Chinese New Year party, but in recent years, the party has moved to a food stall a kilometer away from my grandfather's house.
It didn't take long for Lin Jin's family to come to his grandfather's house, compared to the last time he came, today's grandfather's house is obviously a lot more lively, three or four little children are running around, a group of middle-aged women are sitting on a large round table chatting about home cooking while eating fish balls with local characteristics, and there are two or three teenagers and girls about twenty years old who have nothing to do and are scattered sitting and playing with their mobile phones.
"Wu Juan is back?"
At the party, Mandarin is generally not spoken, after all, all the people here are relatives from the same township, and speaking dialects will be more intimate.
It was a woman in her thirties who had a watermelon Taro's head cut off, she ran up excitedly, grabbed her mother's hand, and then her enthusiastic face instantly turned cold.
"What are you going to do?" She looked at her father behind her mother with malice.
Dad is a gambler in the eyes of Mom's relatives, although this is true, so they don't treat Dad very well.
"Let's go in and talk." Mom dragged her to the round table and looked back at Dad.
As soon as Dad saw that look, he immediately took out the Chinese cigarette from his pocket and began to distribute the cigarette to the middle-aged men, nodding his head, looking like a dog's leg.
After all, if you remarry, you may need the consent of these mothers' relatives.
Of course, it is not that Lin Jin is willing to call these relatives by the title of middle-aged woman and middle-aged man, but the question is...... Even a few familiar people he didn't know what kind of relationship those people were with him.
After Lin Jin and Lin Chen glanced at each other blankly, they found a chair and sat down idly.
"Lin Chen is here?" Grandma walked out from the back room with two bowls of fish balls, and when she saw Lin Chen, she immediately came over with a smile and handed him the bowl, "Eat quickly, Lin Jin, you eat too." ”
"Yes."
Lin Jin obviously felt that his grandmother didn't seem to be as enthusiastic about him as she was in the previous two years.
Is it because of the feminine appearance? But Lin Chen's current appearance is very pleasing to his grandmother, for his grandmother, boys should be tall and strong, not men and women like Lin Jin.
"Wu Juan, those two are Lin Chen and Lin Jin?" The aunt sitting at the other end of the table looked at Lin Jin curiously, "How did Lin Jin become so strong?" ”
"That's Lin Chen." Mom covered her mouth and smiled, "The one on the side is Lin Jin." ”
"Isn't it? Why is Lin Jin getting more and more handsome? ”
Of course, this "handsome" can still be understood as "beautiful" because it is a dialect.
The corners of Lin Jin's mouth twitched, he lowered his head and continued to eat fish balls, for him, he had already been mentally prepared to meet the surprise of his relatives.
"My Lin Chen is getting more and more handsome now." The mother covered her mouth to show off her child, "If he wasn't in his third year of high school now, I guess he would have brought me a beautiful girlfriend back long ago." ”
"Yes, Lin Chen used to be short and thin, not as tall as Lin Jin, but now it's at least one meter eight, right?"
"Not yet, not yet." Mom smiled very happily, when others praised their children, it can be said that the mother is the proudest time, "He is only seven or eight now, not too tall." ”
"My family is only a little more than 1.7 meters."
Lin Jin and Lin Chen didn't like their kind of conversation very much, they just lowered their heads and ignored them as much as possible.
Then, Lin Jin found an extremely female girl, probably only seventeen years old, walking in through the door.
"That's my cousin, my aunt's daughter." Lin Jin whispered to Lin Chen beside him, "It seems that I cut my hair short two or three years ago, and now I look like a tomboy." ”
This tomboy cousin also had a very good relationship with Lin Jin when she was a child, but later the family moved to another city, and it took about an hour's drive between the two cities, so their family would only return here during the winter and summer vacations.
Behind his cousin is his father, Lin Jin's uncle, who has a thin and handsome face, even if his hair is gray, and there are many wrinkles on his face, but it is easy to imagine his handsome appearance when he was young. He looked very thin and seemed to be weak, but he was physically strong because of his long carpentry work, and if he took off his clothes, he was afraid that his whole body was full of slender and strong muscles.
As soon as my cousin came in, she looked around, trying to find something, but after looking for a few minutes, she didn't find her target, so she ran to Lin Jin's mother and asked, "Auntie, where is Lin Jin?" Didn't come? ”
"There." Mom was chatting and chatting, and pointed to Lin Jin's position casually, and continued to chat with others.
The cousin looked at where her mother was pointing, and saw that there were only two strange guys, one with short hair, but as delicate as the girl, and the other with a strong and tall hair, with a flat head that was stingy.
It can't be that strong guy is Lin Jin's cousin, right?
The cousin looked confused, you must know that Lin Jin is less than 1.7 meters tall, and he has always looked like a small ......
So is it the one who looks so beautiful that both men and women can't see it?
It's not right, although Lin Jin looks like a little girl, but it's not so beautiful, right? Even if the acne is gone, it can only be regarded as delicate.
Huh?
Just when her cousin was confused, Lin Jin stretched out her hand and beckoned to her, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Zhao Ruo, come here."
"?" The cousin of the famous Zhao Ruo rushed over all of a sudden, grabbed Lin Jin's arm, and looked at Lin Jin's cheek vigorously, "Are you Lin Jin's cousin?" Really? ”
"This one next to him is Lin Chen." Lin Jin crossed Erlang's legs, and he was not surprised by his cousin's appearance.
He had long been accustomed to the surprise of others when they knew his identity, probably because of the fact that his psychology was becoming more and more perverted by the black cat, Lin Jin actually felt a trace of mischievous pleasure at this time.
"Cousin Lin Chen?" Although Zhao Ruo looked like a female tomboy, her voice was not sweet, she ran to Lin Chen's side again, "Wow! Cousin Lin Chen was bullied by me every day when he was short when he was a child, and now he is so strong! ”
Lin Chen drooped his face with a black line.
Although he and Lin Jin are brothers, his personality is too bad, since he was a child, his personality has been introverted, and he doesn't like to fight, so he has become the target of bullying and teasing by many cousins and cousins, of course, it won't be too much.
"Do you want to play on the street after dinner in the afternoon?" My cousin began to propose an afternoon itinerary.
"Everything." Lin Jin nodded in agreement.
