Mrs. Xu held her head high, like a victorious old hen, and left Lao Lin's house with the attitude of a victor.

After putting the dowry in the house, Zhao Yanan helped Mrs. Xu sit on the only chair in the house.

Mrs. Xu looked at the empty room and patted her thigh, "There is not even a sleeping guy in this room, you two adults are nothing, but you can't wronged my grandson and granddaughter..."

The old lady looked at Zhao Yanan again, "Ming'er, I'll let your two brothers come and make two beds for you, and I didn't bring a guy today." ”

Lin Aimin stepped forward and was both moved and ashamed.

The old lady was upset when she saw Lin Aimin like this, and waved her hand and said: "Okay, I don't have ready-made wood at home, you go to the village to borrow it, and when you have time, cut two from the mountain and return it to others." ”

Lin Aimin was busy.

The old lady reached out and took out a plain handkerchief from her pocket, which was so tight that it was evident that there was something inside.

The old lady opened the handkerchief layer by layer, revealing the money inside.

The old lady dragged Zhao Yanan's hand and put the money in Zhao Yanan's hand, "You go out of the house, your mother-in-law must not give you money, how can you live without money?" Let's take the flowers. ”

Zhao Yanan immediately withdrew his hand, "This won't work, Mom... It's not okay. ”

Lin Aimin was also busy saying: "Mom, this is really not good, we can live this day..."

"What can I do," the old lady sighed again, "don't worry, this money is not much, only thirty yuan, I took ten yuan with your father, and the remaining twenty yuan was given by your two brothers." ”

Zhao Weidong and Zhao Xiangdong nodded hurriedly;

"Second sister, you just take it, those of us who are brothers can only help you so much."

"yes, just don't dislike it."

Guo Hongjuan also said: "Second sister, you take it, you have to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar." ”

Lin Aimin's face was hot, although his mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law didn't blame him, Lin Aimin secretly blamed himself for not being able to let his wife and children live a good life.

At the same time, I made up my mind that I must let my daughter-in-law and children live a good life in the future.

Zhao Yanan's eyes were red, and he wanted to refuse, but it was really difficult at home, so he could only accept it cheekily, "Just take this money as if I borrowed it." ”

The old lady knew that her daughter was a strong one, so she waved her hand, "Whatever you want." ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she pulled Lin Yin, who was standing next to Lin Changping, to her side, held Lin Yin's little hand distressedly, and said to Zhao Yanan: "Take good care of Nannan." ”

Zhao Yanan nodded hurriedly, "Mom, don't worry." ”

The old lady stood up and said, "Alright, we should go too." ”

Lin Aimin hurriedly stayed, "Mom, let's leave early after dinner." ”

The old lady shook her head, "No, there is something else at home!" ”

The old lady had to leave, Zhao Yanan and Lin Aimin couldn't stop her, Lin Aimin asked Zhao Yanan to take care of the children at home, and by the way, he personally sent the old lady to the village before coming back.

At noon, the food at home is still white batter, but it is a little thin;

They are reluctant to eat steamed buns, so they have to eat them carefully with such food.

After eating, Zhao Yanan said to Lin Aimin: "Child's father, you go to the county tomorrow, buy some salt, sauce, vinegar, and by the way, pay back the 5 cents owed to Teacher Zhou, people kindly lend it to us, we can't delay it for too long,

And the 50 yuan you borrowed, let's pay back a little first, and pay back the rest for the New Year, and we can earn dozens of dollars for the New Year's with our family's work......"

Lin Aimin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

In the afternoon, Lin Aimin took his two eldest sons to the village to make friends, borrowed two pieces of wood, and waited for the two brothers-in-law to make two beds tomorrow.

At night, the family slept on the haystack in the house again, and Zhao Weidong and Zhao Xiangdong came early in the morning.

Lin Aimin didn't know how to do carpentry work, so he couldn't help much, so he told his two brothers-in-law, and after breakfast, he set off and went to the county.

When he arrived at the county seat, Lin Aimin went directly to the hospital, walked to the original ward, and when he pushed the door, he saw Teacher Zhou holding a little doll in his arms and coaxing him, her husband was also sitting next to him, and the husband and wife were head to head, looking at the doll in their arms, the smile on their faces was extraordinarily warm.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Zhou Chunmei and her husband Sun Xiaohui looked up at the door, and Lin Aimin greeted with a smile on his face, "Hello Teacher Zhou, Brother Sun, I didn't expect Teacher Zhou to be born, congratulations, it's just... Hey," Lin Aimin was a little embarrassed, "I should bring some eggs......"

Lin Aimin really forgot to bring something, just thinking about paying back the money, forgetting that Zhou Chunmei is a pregnant woman and will give birth at any time.

Before Zhou Chunmei worked hard to teach her own children to study, Lin Aimin was grateful, seeing that Zhang Chunmei had already given birth, he subconsciously felt that he should bring something when he came.

But after he came to the county seat, he went straight to the hospital, and he really forgot about it.

When Zhou Chunmei heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't be polite. ”

Sun Xiaohui also said: "Brother Lin, sit ...... inside."

Lin Aimin walked into the ward, but thought in his heart that next time he came to the county seat, he must bring something for Teacher Zhou.

After Lin Aimin sat down, he asked with a smile, "Boy, girl?" ”

Sun Xiaohui smiled: "Boy." ”

Lin Aimin hurriedly smiled and congratulated, and said: "Teacher Zhou and Brother Sun are both cultural people, and the children they gave birth to are also smart, and they will definitely study well and be productive in the future." ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, Sun Xiaohui just had a son, and he is happy in his heart, listening to these good words of Lin Aimin is particularly pleasing to the ear, and his impression of Lin Aimin is a little better.

Zhou Chunmei listened, but looked at the child and said, "If my son can be half as smart as your family in the future, I will wake up laughing when I sleep." ”

Sun Xiaohui also learned from Zhou Chunmei that the daughter of the man in front of her, the girl who looked a little ugly, had the ability to never forget, and her brain was very flexible and smart.

Although Lin Aimin is a rural person, he has such a smart girl, maybe that girl will have a future in the future, so Sun Xiaohui is also very polite to Lin Aimin.

Through chatting, Lin Aimin learned that Sun Xiaohui worked in the county winery, and the county's winery, although the factory is not big, the wine produced is famous in the whole province, and there is no worry about sales, and the treatment of workers is good.

Lin Aimin looked envious, "Brother Sun is really capable, I heard people say: the treatment of the winery is very good, Brother Sun can work in the winery, and he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future, not that we rural people can compare......"

Sun Xiaohui was very helpful when he heard this, but he said, "Brother Lin is polite, I am a small clerk in the factory, it is nothing."

But the treatment in the factory is really good, every New Year's holiday, the factory will give benefits to the workers, nothing else, there is a lot of wine, one day Brother Lin went to my house, I let Brother Lin taste the wine of our factory, the whole province is famous. ”

Lin Aimin hurriedly smiled and said: "That's good, another day, I'll take my daughter to visit Teacher Zhou, but I often miss Teacher Zhou at home.

I heard that I was going to come to the county seat to see you, she had to come, or her mother was worried that she couldn't stand it, so she didn't let her come, and when I came, the girl's eyes were red......"

When Zhou Chunmei heard this, she was both happy and moved, and felt that Lin Yin's child was not hurt in vain, and she was a person who knew how to be grateful.

Lin Aimin used to be honest and didn't talk much, but when he went out this time, Zhao Yanan specially told Lin Aimin to see Teacher Zhou's family, to say more good things, and not to be like a stuffy gourd.

On the way here, Lin Aimin pondered repeatedly what good words to say?

Isn't it just saying good things to flatter people?

He just didn't like to say it before, and it wasn't that he couldn't say it, but now it seems that the effect is not bad......

Lin Aimin looked honest, and his tone was very sincere when he spoke, which made people feel that this person was telling the truth.

Sun Xiaohui and Lin Aimin chatted for a long time, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, and Sun Xiaohui even invited Lin Aimin to his house for dinner for a while.

Lin Aimin knew that the time was almost up, and it was time for him to leave, so he stood up and said to the husband and wife: "Thank you Brother Sun for looking down on me as a rural person.

I still have something to do today, so I won't go for now, and the next time I come to the county seat, I will definitely go and take the girl to see you. ”

Then, Lin Aimin took out five cents from his pocket, put it on the table, and said gratefully: "The difference in medical expenses last time was 5 cents, and it was borrowed by Mr. Zhou, thank you." ”

Teacher Zhou waved his hand, "It's nothing, isn't it just 5 cents, take it back and buy candy for the child." ”

Lin Aimin hurriedly waved his hand, "This is not good... No way....... ”

Sun Xiaohui also said: "Brother Lin, don't be polite, that kid has such a big hole in his head, he should eat something good, and he doesn't have much money, so take it back and buy some candy for the child to eat." ”

Lin Aimin refused, he definitely couldn't get the money back, otherwise he would look down on himself.

The two sides said a few more words;

Lin Aimin took two steps to the door, "Teacher Zhou, Brother Sun, then I'll go first, and I'll see you next time." ”

Teacher Zhou hugged the child and said in a sincere tone, "Brother Lin, your home is far away from the county seat, and you have to rush back today, so I won't stay, be careful on the road." ”

Then asked Sun Xiaohui to send Lin Aimin.

Sun Xiaohui sent Lin Aimin to the staircase, watched Lin Aimin leave, and then went back to the ward.

After Lin Aimin left the hospital, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, he wanted to buy oil, but he asked for oil tickets, but he didn't have oil tickets.

After Lin Aimin bought these things, he left the supply and marketing cooperative, and after walking for a while, Lin Aimin saw the familiar alley again.

Lin Aimin didn't clearly remember in his mind at this time that he bought five eggs for his daughter in this alley last time.

The man sold eggs for three times as much as they sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Lin Aimin took two more steps, and subconsciously looked into the alley, and saw that the person who sold eggs last time was still in the alley, and he was trading with an old lady at this time.

Lin Aimin saw that the man took out more than a dozen eggs from his pocket and handed them to the old lady, the old lady gave the money to the man neatly, and the two sides completed the transaction, and the old lady took the eggs and left immediately.

With these dozen eggs, the man can earn more than a piece.

Lin Aimin was a little speechless, he was not in a hurry to leave, he stood not far away, secretly staring at the man selling eggs for more than an hour.

In the course of an hour, three people made a deal with the man, who sold dozens of eggs and made a net profit of several dollars.

Wouldn't you earn one or two hundred in this month?

That's more than the workers earn!

Lin Aimin, who was short of money, saw this scene, and his heart was like a cat's paw scratching, and he couldn't wait to collect eggs from home and buy them here.

But on the other hand, Lin Aimin remembered the slogans written on the wall in the village and the big-character posters pasted on them, and GW would promote those ideas all day long...

This prompted Lin Aimin to temporarily suppress that impulse, looked at the alley with a reluctant face, and returned home with a heavy heart.

When I got home, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two brothers-in-law had almost finished the two beds;

After Lin Aimin came back, Zhao Yanan asked Lin Aimin a few words, and learned that Teacher Zhou had given birth to a boy, and Zhao Yanan was also happy for Teacher Zhou.

Lin Changan took Lin Changqing to dig wild vegetables in the back mountain, and it wasn't until nearly six o'clock in the afternoon that the two beds were finally ready.

Zhao Yanan has already cooked the meal, this time he said that he wanted to let the two brothers stay at home to eat, although there is no oil, the dish is not very delicious, but Zhao Yanan specially steamed 6 white steamed buns;

two elder brothers, one Lin Yin and one Lin Aimin;

Zhao Xiangdong and Zhao Weidong are both people who love children, where do they eat alone?

immediately gave four steamed buns to his three nephews, as well as Zhao Yanan.

Zhao Yanan hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother, this is made for you, don't worry about us, we have white batter." ”

Although the three brothers Lin Changping were greedy for white-faced steamed buns, they were also sensible, and immediately returned the steamed buns to their two uncles;

"Uncle, you eat, you are tired of the day today, eat more, let's drink some white batter, we are children, eat less......"
