Chapter 18 Chinese New Year

After dinner, Grandpa, Uncle and Lin Qingjia's father were watching TV in front of the TV. Grandma, mother, and aunt chatted around the brazier.

Lin Qingjia and his children were roasting around another brazier.

In this small house, Lin Qingjia remembered a sentence, "The family sits idly, and the lights are amiable."

The most attractive thing about my hometown is that it carries memories.

For example, the square stool that Lin Qingjia sat on was much "older" than her, and it had gone through several generations.

Originally, it was an ordinary wood from the mountains, but over the years, it looked like pulped rosewood.

There is also the one-meter-five wooden table, which Lin Qingjia witnessed with his own eyes, and it was personally beaten by the uncle. Everything and everything has supported the long years, witnessing the reunion and crushing of this family.

After the incident in the vegetable garden, Lin Qingjia found that Lin Yu talked a lot, obviously thinking that he was such a cold person before.

For Lin Yu in junior high school, Lin Qingjia racked his brains to recall, but he had no impression.

"I don't feel like I've seen you in recent years" Lin Qingjia saw that they were chatting more and more easily, so he opened his mouth to inquire.

"He's addicted to games before, and he can't go out of the door. Don't talk about you, I'm rare, you see him now everyone is white. ”

Lin Shan also took the opportunity to complain about her own brother, Lin Yu was in the rebellious period before, and she didn't dare to teach her a lesson several times.

Lin Qingjia also noticed that Lin Yu's skin was very white.

"Okay, okay, you're black, you're justified" Lin Yu deliberately pressed Lin Shan's hand into the brazier, which frightened Lin Shan into panic and screamed, and then slammed him on the back.

Lin Yu fought back with a smile, and Lin Qingjia watched their sister and brother fighting, and was very envious.

When they stopped, the three of them started chatting again. It's just that most of the time, it's Lin Shan who is asking them to answer.

From Lin Shan, Lin Qingjia learned that Lin Yu's grades before the third year of junior high school were actually very bad.

"Hey, then how did you get into a high school?" Lin Qingjia asked curiously. With such a big change, how can you not be curious.

Looking at Lin Yu's handsome face, Lin Qingjia secretly thought that his facial features were already so marked at this young age. While admiring, I also sighed, what kind of girl's youth is this?

"Of course it's by relying on my brain, is it possible that you can still take the high school entrance examination for me" Lin Yu didn't raise his head, and poked the charcoal in the basin with a burning stick.

"Cut, then you still make rolls in the middle of the night" Lin Shan pierced him without embarrassment.

It turned out that pretending to be a school bully, Lin Qingjia laughed unceremoniously.

"Pretend, really" Lin Yu also laughed.

That being said, Lin Qingjia and the others are also characters who have experienced the high school entrance examination after all. Besides, with the threshold of one middle school, it is not possible to go with money.

Lin Yu's grades before the third year of junior high school were terrible, and he was later admitted to a middle school, so how could he have today if he didn't borrow time in the middle of the night.

In this way, Lin Yu is also a smart person who can achieve nirvana in a year.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Lin Qingjia asked thiefly.

"Then do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"Don't, let me ask you, why are you talking about me, children's families" Lin Qingjia deliberately pretended to be old, with the tone of an adult educating a child.

Before the eldest aunt mentioned her sister's age, Lin Qingjia realized that she was actually 5 years older than Lin Yu. Compared with him, she is really a 20-year-old little aunt.

"Yes" Lin Yu raised her head and decided to tease her.

"Really, who" I didn't expect Lin Shan to speak earlier than Lin Qingjia.

Lin Qingjia also looked like he was waiting to eat melons, and teased Lin Shan by the way, "Sister, you have to work harder."

"Sister Maomao" As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Lin Qingjia shouted, "It turns out that you like him too!" Only Lin Shan looked puzzled.

"What sister, there is really a generation gap with you......" Lin Shan was ...... and chatted with the two students, and she couldn't understand if she didn't talk about studying.

Lin Yu didn't say anything about Sister Maomao, and Lin Qingjia would think that they had a generation gap. After all...... The age is there, and it's really not good to be unconvinced.

"I said, don't play so much with your old aunt" Lin Yu looked at her sister, her face was full of smiles, and she deliberately inserted a knife.

It turns out that a cold boy can be so stupid when he laughs, Wang Zhiqiu, what are you like when you are stupid.

Lin Qingjia has imagined countless times that she and Wang Zhiqiu are together, and Wang Zhiqiu looks like everything. It's a pity that some words can't be undone since they are spoken.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Qingjia's family kept the New Year together. When it was close to twelve o'clock, the uncle asked Lin Yu to prepare firecrackers and fireworks.

Not long after the "crackling ......", the whole village was filled with the sound of firecrackers, and the night sky was also brilliant and colorful.

There are some feelings that you sing and I appear, one after another. There are some faint comparisons, compared to who is higher, longer, and better-looking, for fear that others will not know their financial resources.

So much so that it didn't calm down for a long time, and it was very lively. Fireworks are not allowed in the city, and Lin Qingjia always feels that there is a lack of New Year's flavor.

It was late at night that the village fell silent.

For many years, Lin Qingjia would go to live at her sister's house whenever she returned to her hometown. slept with Lin Shan, while Mom and Dad lived in an old house.

Don't look at the outside of the uncle's house, but the decoration and items inside are not bad.

The living room is spacious and bright, the sofa and bed curtains are of the same color, and the patterns are similar, giving people a sense of comfort as a whole.

Although it is in the countryside, there is no shortage of all kinds of household appliances. TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater...... has everything, Lin Qingjia has always known that the uncle's life is very nourishing.

The uncle has a craft, and the aunt can operate, and there is a considerable income every year.

My sister has a stable and decent job, and Lin Yu is the only one in the family who eats idle food.

Lin Shan is a Chinese teacher at the primary school in their town, and although her salary is not high, the price here is enough for her to "squander".

My sister has been a patient person since she was a child, and she treats people and things thoughtfully. Even Lin Qingjia's father praised Lin Shan's high emotional intelligence.

Because I am engaged in the education industry, I spend all my days with children. Lin Shan's life is full and simple, even if she is 26 years old, she doesn't look very old.

After all, Lin Qingjia is her younger sister, and she is not very easy to ask about Lin Shan's love life.

Hearing the eldest aunt mention it today, Lin Qingjia suddenly wanted to inquire about her sister's feelings.

"Sister, how long have you been single" Lin Qingjia took a roundabout approach.

"Why are you curious about me, you don't think I can get married," Lin Shan joked, deliberately avoiding the topic.

"Oops, how could it be. Didn't you ask Lin Yu just now, this is curious about you" Lin Qingjia felt that something was wrong with her sister and didn't tell the truth.

"I already plan to dedicate my life to the cause of education and water the flowers and plants of the motherland." Lin Shan's righteous and awe-inspiring tone was enough to show her sincerity if she didn't beat her chest.

Lin Qingjia is not a wood, so she naturally realized that her sister's love life was not satisfactory.

"Sister, I used to have someone I liked so much, but he has become my ex." Lin Qingjia thought of herself, and she was not satisfied with Wang Zhiqiu.

"You have really grown up" I don't know how Lin Shan understood it, and suddenly said this.

Because of Lin Qingjia herself, she didn't feel that she had grown up.

"When I was your age, I had a marriage." Lin Shan finally spoke again.

Lin Qingjia waited quietly, she knew that since Lin Shan had spoken, she still had something to say later.

"The fortune teller said that I would marry late in my life, and the other party would want me." Lin Shan was very calm, as if she had long lost hope for love.

The words reveal the idea that he will choose a good person to marry and have children at the right time.

"Sister, in fact, you don't have to get married" Lin Qingjia still believes that marriage is to marry love, not to succumb to suitability.

"What do you think of our little place," Lin Shan asked her rhetorically.

Lin Qingjia remembered what happened when he was a child, and felt that most people here were short-sighted and mean and ignorant.

Children have always been very "grudgeful", who is good to themselves and bad to themselves, they can think about it.

Although more than ten years have passed, Lin Qingjia has not been happy. Those parents who don't let their children play with her are simply because they are from outside their homes, have no relatives, and have no roots.

How nice her grandparents are, what kind and generous people, why some people can take their good with a smile and forget about it.

If it is not a backward place, the people must be simple, friendly and friendly.

Of course, Lin Qingjia also knew that it wasn't all like this, and it was really not good here.

The hometown has also developed, and people's lives are getting better and better. When Lin Qingjia came back this time, he saw more people building high walls. There is only one wall between people, but it breaks off the love of walking around.

At that time, Lin Qingjia couldn't help but ask her grandmother if people would become more and more indifferent in the future.

She expected her grandmother's answer to be no, and she didn't want to see that.

Grandma has been here all her life and has a deep affection for everything here. So she subconsciously thought that grandma would believe that people here would not be indifferent to this day.

But grandma's answer was yes. At that time, Lin Qingjia suddenly felt that this place was not worth living.

"It's not good" she said bluntly, even if her roots are here, the people closest to her have come out of here.

"So, that's right." Until now, there are still many people who think that an older unmarried woman can't marry because she has problems or something unsightly.

It is very difficult for you to pretend that you do not hear foolish and vicious words, and that you do not go to your heart.

"Sister, go out, don't stay here" Lin Qingjia felt sorry for Lin Shan and wanted to persuade her to escape from this environment.

"It's not time yet," Lin Shan said in a low voice, her young face becoming vicissitudes, as if hiding a lot of pain.

"Then you must not wronged yourself" Lin Qingjia read some books on weekdays, and he thought that he had the weight to "remind" others.

"But don't be too hostile to this place, it will bring you bad things. In the end, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and after so many years, there are a few families that have a good relationship with our family" Lin Shan told her with a smile, Lin Qingjia knew that this was just to reassure her.

If there is, I haven't heard my grandmother talk about it. Grandma is such a person who craves recognition, where will not share it with her.

Although there are few people in her family, there is a harmony and warmth that others do not have.

A happy life is earned by yourself, and life will always get better and better.
