Chapter Thirty-Nine: Moving Vignette
It was very late when Lin Yue returned to the hotel, and Tang Chuan had already gone to bed early.
Lin Yue pouted, Master's heart was really big enough, an eight-year-old girl wandered outside all night, he was not worried, he could still sleep so soundly. Lin Yue moved his sore body for a while, and then went to bed.
Early the next morning, before Lin Yue woke up, Tang Chuan picked her up and said that he was going to take her to Daming Lake for a walk, the corners of Lin Yue's mouth twitched, thinking, you can go for a walk by yourself, why do you pull me, don't you see that I am the time to grow my body, lack of sleep, what should I do if I am delayed.
Lin Yue reluctantly got up to wash, and then followed Tang Chuan out, on the way to Daming Lake, the master and apprentice settled breakfast by the way.
"Master, what did you bring me to Jishi for? Is it just to meet old comrades-in-arms? Then you can come by yourself, why do you want to bring me? Lin Yue asked puzzled.
Tang Chuan didn't answer Lin Yue's words, put his hands behind his back, and slowly enjoyed the scenery of Daming Lake along the way.
The turquoise water, the boats, the laughter, and the small island in the middle of the lake are particularly mysterious in the sunlight. The willow branches by the lake, like naughty children, stir the lake water, rippling layers of ripples, spreading in circles towards the center of the lake.
Lin Yue was also attracted by the scenery in front of him, letting the breeze blow on his face, deeply intoxicated.
"Brother Huang's deadline is approaching, and I'm here to see him for the last time. And I brought you here to let him know that I have something to rely on, so that he can leave with peace of mind. Tang Chuan's face showed a sad expression, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, and he looked into the distance blankly, falling into the memories of the past.
Lin Yue knew Master's mood at this time, she didn't make a sound to disturb, and quietly accompanied Master.
At noon, I ate in Huang Zhi's country, Tang Chuan made an exception to drink a glass of liquor with him, at the dinner table, the two recalled the beauty of being a soldier, and sighed that the years have passed, Lin Yue was moved by their sincere comrades-in-arms, and their hearts seemed to have been purified by a supreme belief, and their blood was surging, which was a kind of worship and yearning for soldiers.
After lunch, Tang Chuan said goodbye to his old comrades-in-arms and got into the car home with Lin Yue.
"Yue'er, your eldest and second uncle have sent a letter, saying that they are willing to work with us." As soon as Lin Yue entered the house, Lin Chengzhi told her the good news.
Great, Lin Yue hurriedly entered the back room, sat at the desk to write and draw, and didn't care about eating dinner, until the family was ready to go to sleep on the kang, she didn't put down the pen.
"Dad, this is the plan I made, which contains the cooperation agreement between us and my uncle, the construction plan of the pickle factory, and the preliminary preparations, I have written them all in it. As for the pickle recipe, I'll go there myself when I'm on summer vacation. Lin Yue said and gave Lin Chengzhi a thick pile of paper. Then he yawned and went back to sleep.
Lin Chengzhi packed the letter paper and planned to go to the post office again tomorrow.
"I'll find someone to decorate the house tomorrow, scrape a layer of white, and then add a few pieces of furniture to it, and when the National Day comes, we can live in" Lin Chengzhi discussed with Liu Li before going to bed.
Liu Li disagreed, she wanted to live in first, and then slowly decorate, she didn't want to continue to live in someone else's house, it was very inconvenient to come out and go in.
Lin Chengzhi didn't want his daughter-in-law to be wronged, so he agreed.
In the morning, Lin Chengzhi told everyone at the dinner table about the plan to renovate the new house, and asked everyone if they had any objections, if there were no objections, then choose a day to move.
"Dad, then let Master live in our house, decorate his house first, and then go to Master's house to live in the National Day, and change us to decorate the house, do you think this will work." Lin Yue told Lin Chengzhi what he thought.
"My old girl is just smart, and this method couldn't be better." Lin Chengzhi lowered his head and kissed Lin Yue, praising him.
A few days later, it was the auspicious day of the zodiac chosen by Lin Chengzhi, and they moved into a new home together.
The big blue iron gate, more than 2 meters high brick wall, after entering the door, a face wall with blessing written on it comes into view, the face wall is white on the background, there is a big blessing character on it, the lower right corner of the word blessing is a cluster of pink peony flowers, the upper right corner is a plum blossom, and there are two swallows standing on the plum blossom branch.
Walking through the facing wall, it is where Lin Yue's family lives, Lin Yue looked at the spacious and bright five new houses in front of him, and the appearance of the small earthen house he once lived in came to his mind.
Lin Yue and her parents live in two rooms in the west, two Tang Chuan boxes and two brothers in the east, and the remaining middle one is the living room.
Under Lin Yue's repeated requests, Lin Chengzhi agreed to Lin Yue's own residence, which made Lin Yongtian and Lin Yongfeng envious.
Lin Yue has her own room, so it will be much more convenient for her to enter the space in the future.
It took a long day of hard work for everyone to finally pack up their new home.
On the west side of the yard is a hut where cooking and eating are usually done. At this time, Liu Li was burning the fire in the west house, when she heard a strange voice from the courtyard.
"The old man left and started to live in a new house, why didn't he treat the old man when he had this money, the old man is really not blessed! Poor for that. ”
Liu Li added firewood from the stove pit, got up and walked out of the door, and saw Wang Lanzhi twisting her fat body and coming in, her eyes still looking around at her new home, with a look of disgust.
In rural areas, it is common for neighbors to visit each other, if the owner of the house is at home, the door of the house is often open from morning to night, and if you want to go to someone else's house, you can go in directly without knocking.
Liu Li saw that it was Wang Lanzhi, so she immediately turned around and sat back in front of the stove, continued to light the fire, and ignored her.
"The people who live in the new house are different, the guests come to the house, and they don't come out to greet them, and the spectrum is quite big." Wang Lanzhi looked at Liu Li who was burning the fire in the Westinghouse, ignored her, put her arms around her chest, stretched her neck, leaned on the door frame of the Westinghouse, and said sourly.
Liu Li felt that she just couldn't eat grapes, didn't know the sourness of grapes, and coveted her new home.
When she was in the Northeast before, her sister-in-law always bullied her. When Liu Li and Lin Chengzhi first got married, her parents-in-law lived with Lin Xianzhi, and at that time, the commune was eating a big pot of rice, Wang Lanzhi was always lazy when she worked, and she earned less centimeters, so when she distributed food at the end of the year, her family was always not enough to eat, and then she came to Liu Li's house under the banner of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Liu Li saw it for the sake of her parents-in-law at that time, so she didn't tear her face with her and endured it.
"You vixen, how can I talk to you, deaf?" Wang Lanzhi saw that Liu Li didn't speak for a long time, so she began to scold.
"Who are you talking vixen?" Liu Li felt that Wang Lanzhi was getting more and more excessive, so she stood up with the burning stick, pointed at Wang Lanzhi and asked.
Wang Lanzhi looked at the burning stick in Liu Li's hand, took two steps back, stood in the courtyard, pinched her waist with both hands and began to scold.
"You fox spirit, if it weren't for you, the third uncle would have gone back to Shandong with us a long time ago, you guys are good, eat and drink spicy food in the Northeast, let us serve the two old ones here tirelessly, take and urine, you are not filial, why didn't God take you in, you are a scourge." Wang Lanzhi scolded and scolded, and jumped up.
"You are talking nonsense, the child's father has sent a lot of money home over the years, which is more than enough for the two old people, and we have never treated the old man badly." When Liu Li heard Wang Lanzhi scold her for being unfilial to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, her eyes immediately turned red, and she covered her mouth and cried in a low voice, she couldn't listen to such an insult. Since my parents-in-law returned to Shandong, I will send them 100 yuan every year, and from time to time I will send some Northeast specialties, rice, hazelnuts, dried mushrooms, and fungus. Isn't she not supporting in front of her, but she is absolutely filial.
"If you don't come back sooner or later, the two old ones are dead, you are back, and as soon as you come back, you will live in a new house, you are sincere, you just don't want to serve. Phew, something that is not filial. Wang Lanzhi saw Liu Li crying, but she spoke more unscrupulously and viciously, and she couldn't wait to scold her for giving her a new house to live in. The five members of their family still live in mud houses, or three.
"You give my grandpa and my milk and poop and urine? When we came back, my grandfather's hair hadn't been cleaned up for months, his face was even dirtier than I could see, and I had been sick for so long, and I hadn't seen him use any good medicine, I really wondered where all the money my father sent to my grandfather went. Moreover, didn't you just repair the courtyard wall and build a side house at the front end of your house? Lin Yue came back from outside at this time, and while standing outside the courtyard wall, he heard the mad dog barking there.
"And your figure, are you tired and tired to grow like this? I have not seen how much you have suffered, how much you have sinned. Oh, by the way, and my sister and brothers, they are much better dressed than my eldest brother and second brother, and I seriously suspect that you have embezzled my grandfather's pension money. Lin Yue walked into the courtyard, approached Wang Lanzhi step by step, and retorted.
"You little cub, you are the opposite, you are even disrespectful to the elders, look at how I clean you up" Wang Lanzhi saw that Lin Yue told the truth, so she wanted to beat her.
As soon as Lin Yue's feet moved, he flashed behind Wang Lanzhi, holding the small pebble he had just picked up from the outside, and with a flick of his hand, he hit Wang Lanzhi's leg, Wang Lanzhi bent his knee on one leg, knelt on the ground, and his hands were also clubbed on the ground.
"Oops, my legs. Oh, come on, Lin Chengzhi's daughter is beating people, is there any heavenly reason, everyone come and see. Wang Lanzhi sat on the ground, patted her thighs with both hands, and began to cry, crying and shouting, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Lin Yue stood beside him coldly. At this time, there were already many people at the gate of her house watching the excitement, pointing at Wang Lanzhi and Lin Yue.
"You get out of here, didn't you say that my daughter beat you, I'll call you, you get out, get out!" Liu Li watched Wang Lanzhi start to wronged Lin Yue again, and suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, so she rushed out with a burning stick and hit Wang Lanzhi's body.
Seeing this, Wang Lanzhi immediately stood up and ran to the door. He was still scolding and scolding, saying something like you waiting for me.
Lin Yue saw Wang Lanzhi running away, so he said to the neighbors at the door, "What do you see, I haven't seen other people's families quarrel, I am willing to go back to my own house to perform." Lin Yue was holding back the fire in his heart at this time, looking at this group of people with good things, he didn't have the anger to push out.
"This child, what is fierce, be careful that you can't find your in-laws when you grow up" muttered to the onlookers, who didn't know who was.
Lin Yue stepped forward and closed the door with a "bang", out of sight and out of mind.
"Mom, you should close the door at home in the future, and don't let those casual people come in." Lin Yue is really annoyed by people like Wang Lanzhi, Liu Li has been in a bad mood these days, Wang Lanzhi is still here, Lin Yue is worried that Liu Li will get angry and become ill.
"Woo woo, your mother and I have never been so angry since I was a child, how can there be a person like her in the world, what do you say she wants to do, make a fuss like this in front of the villagers, but the face of our Lao Lin family is lost, I can't go out to meet people, your uncle doesn't care, just let her make such a fuss" Liu Li has cried into tears, she has never suffered this grievance.
In the past, when her father-in-law and mother-in-law were there, although Wang Lanzhi was excessive, she would not scold her like this and slander her, but now, she insulted her in front of so many people, and she was really aggrieved in her heart, and even wanted to leave and go back to the Northeast to continue to live her own small life.
"Mom, you dissipate your anger, and when our family makes money, I will take you to live in the city, far away from her." Lin Yue didn't know how to comfort Liu Li, seeing her mother being wronged, her heart was also very uncomfortable, as if she was pressed by a stone.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Li, open the door" Lin Chengzhi came back from outside, still holding a big box in his arms, the box was a little heavy, bent Lin Chengzhi's waist, looked at the door of his house closed, a little puzzled, and a little anxious, raised his foot and kicked the door a few times.
"Don't tell your father, go open the door for him" Liu Li quickly wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and asked Lin Yue to open the door for Lin Chengzhi.
"What do you do when you're closed in broad daylight?" Lin Chengyi asked Lin Yue as he walked, and put the box on the ground without taking two steps, he really couldn't hold it, pinched his waist with both hands, stood up straight, gasped for breath, and sweat remained on his cheeks, soaking the hair on his ears.
"I bought a big 24-inch color TV." Lin Chengzhi rested for a while and said to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue had already seen it, and it was written on the box, "Changhong brand color TV", but she was not interested, so she went to the Westinghouse to help Liu Li set the table and eat.
Lin Chengzhi looked at Lin Yue's reaction and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, standing in the courtyard in a daze, and said in his heart, generally speaking, when a child sees a big color TV, shouldn't he cheer loudly with excitement? But why is my old girl so calm?
Lin Chengzhi rested enough, so he carried the color TV into the north room, put the TV in the living room, and prepared to wash his hands and eat.
