Chapter 140: The Calm Before the Storm
Although the two families only have such a chance to get together once a year, after all, the bodies of the four old people cannot be too tired, although it is lively, it is not too grand. After eating and resting, he got up and prepared to go home.
Several children of the Mo family sent the second elder of the Lin family and Lin Ran all the way to the car, and Mo Huai, the eldest in line, specially told the driver: "The old man drank wine at night, and the road should be more stable." ”
Mo Xiang took Lin Ran's hand on the side, and told her sentence by sentence to pay more attention to her body on weekdays: "When you finish the exam, let Ruiyi take you to live in the garden for a few more days, the weather is warmer than now, so relax and relax." ”
Lin Ran agreed with a smile, and Mo Xiang said a few more words, then let go of her hand and go to talk to the old couple of the Lin family who had already gotten in the car.
Naturally, there was a lot of things to say between the elders, and Mo Zhi waited for Lin Ran to get close to him before he whispered: "Don't worry about this matter, their family won't make much action for a while, and my eldest brother and I will arrange it after the year." What's the matter, you wait for my news. ”
She glanced at the determined man, nodded and said softly, "Then I'll wait for the news of the second uncle." ”
Mo Zhi touched her hair: "Get in the car, don't let Uncle Lin and them wait for a long time." ”
When she got into the car, the old lady had a little doubt on her face and asked Lin Ran, "What did Mo Zhi tell you just now?" I looked at the look on his face, but it seemed to be very serious. ”
Lin Ran paused.
Although she can share her speculation with Mo Zhi, but is this matter suitable to tell the old couple?
In the flash of light, a variety of possibilities flashed in her mind, and Lin Ran said half-concealedly: "When I was fishing in the morning, Mrs. Qin came to look for me. ”
A shadow flashed in the old lady's eyes, but there was not much surprise: "Old man, what am I talking about?" She has been out for so long, she must have gone to look for Ranran. ”
"The Qin family will definitely not be able to give up." The old man sitting in the co-pilot snorted, "Did she tell you again that she would definitely discipline Qin Hanhai strictly and would not let him contact Qiao An'an again?" ”
Lin Ran knew that the second elder had misunderstood, so he was wrong: "Yes, but I may know better than her about the things that Qin Hanhai did for Qiao An'an before, and it makes me believe that Qin Hanhai changed his mind and no longer believes in Qiao An'an, it's impossible." ”
Although he knew that the second elder had his own evaluation of the Qin family, and even for the Qin family's unusually rapid progress now, he may not have no guesses in his heart.
But for some things, when there is no evidence, it is better not to pierce this layer of window paper.
I heard that Old Man Lin was silent for a while, and said, "If you want to say how bad the Qin family kid is, then there is no need. But this kid is stupid, and he still recognizes the crooked truths he came up with, I think the two members of the Qin family want to correct him...... Difficult. ”
After a pause, he added: "People of the Qin family, if you don't see it, you still don't see it, our two families are not close to each other." ”
Lin Ran was naturally quite happy with this sentence, and happily responded: "That's just right, anyway, their family is really a little unhappy about doing things this time." ”
Mrs. Lin didn't hold her hand, and laughed: "You kid, you can't just say this, you know?" ”
Although the Qin family is at fault first, if Lin Ran sees a person and says that the Qin family is not good once, people will also murmur about her character in their hearts.
Sticking out her tongue, Lin Ran hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly: "Grandma, I'm not stupid, isn't this just telling the truth in front of you and grandpa." ”
After the excitement of this day, the family was naturally a little tired the next day, so they refused all the people who came to visit, and had a good rest at home for a day.
"The Zhang family, the Ji family, the Chen family...... This Chen family noted that they were from the north of the city...... "Lin Ran looked at a few lines, and lost interest.
Although the old couple has been retired for many years, there are several such lists on the cover for the holidays.
The gifts are not publicized, they are some supplements or practical electrical appliances suitable for the elderly, and the main purpose is to hope that the old couple will not forget that there is such a person as themselves.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, even if the family wants to take another day off, they have to conform to the custom - eat dumplings on the fifth day to welcome the God of Wealth.
And today, in addition to the people who came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Ran's two cousins had already said that they would come together, so they naturally became lively.
The earliest ones to come were still Lin Zheng and Ning Jiaoli's family, but today only Lin Yiye came, Lin Zheng explained with a smile: "Shanshan's family also wants to welcome the God of Wealth, so I won't come in the morning." ”
The old couple was dispensable to each other, after all, they had not married Lin Yiye, so they could not be regarded as their own family, so they said politely: "Don't let the children run again when they are busy, and the road is blocked today, what are you doing on this trip." ”
"It's not a child, thinking that today is also a reunion day, even if you talk and chat with the second elder, it is also a piece of filial piety." Ning Jiaoli smiled all over her face, and praised Fang Shanshan vaguely.
Old Man Lin just smiled faintly and skipped the topic: "Why didn't the second child come with you?" ”
The second eldest in his mouth is naturally his second-ranked brother, Lin Ran's second uncle.
"Dad originally wanted to come over, but yesterday I had dinner with Shanshan and their house, and I drank too much wine as soon as I was happy, and today I have a headache and rests in bed." Lin Zheng said, "We specially invited the doctor to come over in the morning and said that it was nothing serious, don't touch tobacco and alcohol these days, and avoid greasy." ”
Seeing that the old couple's concerned look didn't look like a fake, he added two more sentences: "Originally, I wanted the child to come over with Yiye's mother, I took care of it at home, but the old man thought I was too noisy and didn't let me stay, so we ate some vegetarian dumplings together, and then I came over." ”
Old Man Lin couldn't rest assured, and asked a few questions, before he sighed melancholy: "The second child loved a sip of wine when he was young, and he is still like this when he is old, alas." It's also hard work for you, take care of him more, and under his negligence, there is something wrong with his body. ”
Lin Zheng and the three of them hurriedly agreed, looking a little depressed, Lin Ran smiled and hugged the old man: "Grandpa, you better sit down." You see you standing here, Uncle Lobby and they can't sit, they are busy all morning, and if they stand down, how can they take care of the second uncle when they are tired? ”
Old Man Lin smiled and tapped her head: "It's because you got up too early by yourself and can't stand, right?" ”
Following Lin Ran's meaning, they were helped to sit down, and Lin Zheng and the three of them hurriedly sat down in the order of priority, and the topic turned away and began to talk about the meeting between their family and Fang Shanshan's family yesterday.
Mrs. Lin gave Lin Ran a look: "You talk first, I'll go with Ran Ran to see how the dumplings are doing." ”
In fact, today's dumplings were all made by the nanny at home, and Mrs. Lin actually had some private things to say when she asked her to come over.
"Wait a minute, your two aunts will come over," Gently closing the kitchen door, Mrs. Lin said, "Your eldest aunt Lin Jing is fine, but your second aunt ...... I'd better tell you a few more words. ”
Lin Ran thought for a moment: "Is it the third cousin's sister?" ”
"Yes, it's Lin Ru." The old lady nodded, "You see that she has seen less, and I guess I don't have much impression." She used to be fine, but when your parents first got married, they had an unpleasant relationship with your mother over a necklace. ”
Thinking of what happened back then, she sighed: "Actually, it's also very small, when the two of them attended the banquet, the necklace style was exactly the same, and someone stirred up trouble, saying that Lin Ru didn't refer to her sister-in-law's dress." Lin Ru has been spoiled by thousands of pets since she was a child, and in a fit of anger, she said some unpleasant things to your mother. ”
Lin Ran understands her mother's personality when she was young: "As a result, my mother is not a disadvantaged character, did the two of them stand up?" ”
"Yes, in the end, the two of them quarreled, and Lin Ru threw the necklace around her neck in front of your mother, saying that even if she is like a beggar, she will never use the same thing as your mother." Old Mrs. Lin sighed, "Over the years, she didn't want to see your mother if she didn't come to the house to walk around. ”
Lin Ran already understood why the old lady came to her to tell her about this.
