Chapter 461: Growth
Is Lin Su rich?
Yes, he has a lot of pension every month, and there are many student gifts on holidays and birthdays, most of which are tea, health wine and supermarket gold cards that he needs and will consume.
In addition to medical insurance, the state also has another subsidy, and even, the school occasionally remembers these old professors and gives them some subsidies or gifts.
Basically, his living expenses do not cover his pension.
In addition to his pension, he occasionally accepts invitations from several nearby universities to give a lecture or two to students, which is not much, but it is enough for pocket money.
In addition, when he is in a good mood, he will also come forward to help the people in the circle to applaud and appreciate something, and the remuneration is more than the pension.
No matter how bad it is, he is short of money, and when he writes a picture, someone will hold the money to collect it.
However, does Lin Su have any savings?
It's really not, now the money in his card is only a few thousand, and the piece of ink he bought last time cost tens of thousands, and the money in his card was spent in one fell swoop.
However, he has foreign debts outside, and the old lads have good things that can be seen, and they don't want to open their mouths with their children for a while, just like he borrows a little;
Or when you go out to play, you have something you like, and some friends are not used to bringing a card, and you don't have the habit of paying with a mobile phone, so you can temporarily borrow a sum from him;
Lin Su is a romantic and casual person, and the friends he has made are almost the same, don't look at them in their sixties and seventies, but buying things is also very capricious, you owe me 20,000, but I owe him 50,000, these debts between friends are very normal.
But everyone has a characteristic, they are not short of money, if you really ask them for money, they can get it.
So Lin Su is about to be short of money, ask around, he can always get the money back, it's really less, it's a big deal to borrow a sum from a friend after the debt is finished, and pay it back when he has money before.
Since the beginning of the previous year, Lin Su felt that his health was much worse, so he became cautious about money, not as casual as before, but he was afraid of leaving a mess for his granddaughter.
But since he was discharged from the hospital, he probably knew that he couldn't die for the time being, and Lin Qingwan was not short of money, so he became casual again, spending money again without moderation, and lending money in and out of his temperament.
Lin Qingjun has only been familiar with his grandfather for half a year, and he doesn't know enough about him, so he doesn't know about it.
Lin Qingwan was accustomed to it and asked, "Then do you have any debts outside?" ”
"No," Lin Su sighed, "Recently, I have cultivated my self-cultivation, and I rarely go out, so I don't have the opportunity to go into debt." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled and took out a bank card and stuffed it into him, "Well, now I'll give you this opportunity." When you have time, you can go to those uncles and aunts with Uncle Luo, and buy them if you can see them. ”
Lin Su did not refuse Lin Qingwan's filial piety, took the card and said with a smile: "Okay, then grandpa will buy it depending on the mood." ”
"Buy!"
Yi Han looked at Lin Qingwan who waved his hand with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Qingjun was particularly curious, "Grandpa, did you teach my dad the same when he was young?" ”
Why is his father and sister completely different personalities?
Lin Su sighed faintly, and said half-loudly: "Your father, it was grandpa and grandma who taught me wrong." ”
Lin Qingjun looked at him brightly, as he grew older, he wanted to explore the past of his elders, especially the process of growing up.
Because his father and grandparents and sisters are really different personalities, how did his father grow up?
Lin Su glanced at her granddaughter, saw her sitting obediently on the side, thinking of this child's intelligence, it is estimated that she has already figured out the disputes between the Lin family in the past fifty years.
Glancing at his ignorant grandson again, he sighed again, this child was not raised crookedly by his parents, first, he has a good foundation, and second, he has always received a good education, in this case, he should also raise this child's worldview and values.
Lin Su pondered for a moment before speaking: "Your father is different from your sister, and the family was already a little bad when he was born. ”
He said with some memories: "When your eldest uncle and second uncle were born, the conditions of our family were not bad, they were all blessed, at least they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, so when I raised them with your grandmother, it was about the same as when I raised your sister." ”
They are all intensively raised, there is never a shortage of children who eat and wear less, and their parents are all casual characters, and the two children have good hearts, so they are cheerful and generous, and they have inherited the romance and tenacity of their parents.
"When your father was born, the situation was not very good, the first three years were fine, we could make him carefree, but after that, the conditions at home began to deteriorate," Lin Su smiled bitterly, Lin Wenbo was really good before he was three years old, he was chubby, very cute, his brothers had it, he also had it, but the children before the age of three had almost no memory.
After the age of three, when the child began to have his own consciousness and began to understand the world, the Lin family began to struggle.
“…… At that time, the students in the school were very noisy, and although your grandmother and I were fine for the time being, our work was almost half-stopped, and people began to wander outside our house, but there was no way, your grandmother and I managed to avoid the countryside. ”
At the beginning of the revolution, Lin Su was not affected at first because of his experience in suppressing bandits and aiding Korea, but within two years, strange voices began to appear in the army.
Yi Wenkou sent him a message, and then the two of them tried their best to go back to their hometown one step ahead, so as to avoid the fate of going to the northwest farm.
"But in those years, it was difficult for the country to go anywhere, and it was a time of rumors, although I went back to my hometown, but our life was not easy, at that time, your grandmother and I were too busy to take care of ourselves, and we were a little negligent to your father, "Although it is to go back to my hometown and decentralize, but Lin Su and his wife have to do a lot of labor, and their village is not particularly remote, even if the people in the village have the heart to take care of it, they dare not do it obviously."
Because in the county town, the radicals in the city often keep an eye on their village, and some people can even lie in ambush in the grass behind their houses all night in order to catch them.
At that time, Lin Su's three sons were all there, and the eldest and second were sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, which was the time when his thoughts were most active.
Lin Su and his wife have to do a lot of labor activities every day, and they also have to pay attention to the growth of their two eldest sons, so they inevitably neglect their younger sons.
And four or five years old, it is the time when the child's character is first formed, when the family is noisy, not well dressed, and not eaten well, the third child knows to protect food from that time, even if it is just a sweet potato, he also knows to eat it as soon as possible, otherwise it may be snatched away by other children, and he can only go hungry.
When Lin Wenzhan was eighteen years old, Yi Wenkou tried to win him a place in the army, and directly crossed the local county and city to recruit people to the army.
The Lin family's life is barely a little better.
But the good times did not last long, and the next year there was a natural disaster in the local area, and the harvest failed for two consecutive years, and the activities in that place were fierce and big, even if the local people tightened their belts, they had to complete the tasks assigned by the above.
At that time, officials even did not hesitate to falsely report the harvest for the sake of performance, even if people in the countryside starved to death, they had to have a good data.
Ordinary peasants are likely to starve to death, not to mention the Lin family, which was still a labor reform at that time?
At that time, Lin Wenbo was six years old, and when he was the most hungry, the child lay on his stomach in the grass and dug the grass roots, and at that time, Lin Su and his wife had to maintain their own livelihood, and occasionally had to find a way to make up for their former friends and even clansmen.
The former best friend is about to starve to death, die of illness, and lie dying in front of you, can you bear not to ask?
A relative's child is about to starve to death with a bulging belly, and you only need to pick out a piece of sweet potato to keep him alive, can you be willing not to give it?
The Lin family and his wife are kind in the end, so on the premise of being able to maintain the survival of their families, they will try their best to help those relatives and friends who are in a desperate situation.
No one knows how many people they saved who would die next.
But Lin Su and his wife did this, but they didn't want their sons to fall into despair and resentment, so even if life was difficult, they presented optimism to the children.
Even if they occasionally dig a bush of wild yam from the mountain, they can present it to the two children as if they had obtained a treasure, and then eat all the extra food without leaving any left, so as to obtain that joy and gratitude to God, as well as hope for the future life.
The second Lin Wen'an was very fond of this, because of his romantic personality and cultivation at that time, he, like his parents, felt that this was a very pleasing thing.
But in the eyes of Lin Wenbo, who has been starving for as long as he can remember, while eating something that is equivalent to a delicacy to him, he feels that his parents will not store things, if he saves part of this yam and takes it out again when he is too hungry to find food, then he will not have to suffer from that bone-eating hunger again.
So unlike his parents and brothers, he did not inherit the romance of the Lin family, on the contrary, he would save things from the time he had the ability.
First the days were getting better, and he had saved sweet potatoes, potatoes, and all kinds of wheat grains under his bed, then sweets, and finally a cent by cent......
After Lin Wenzhan and Lin Wen'an died one after another, Lin Su and his wife focused more on their son, and of course discovered this trait of his.
At first, they thought such a son was cute, but in addition to being cute, they were a little sad.
But they didn't think about correcting him, but they would try to subsidize him as much as possible when they could, and occasionally use their own money to make him feel romantic.
For example, they will pay a lot of money to buy him a trendy tape recorder and BB player, or use the previous month's income to take their children on a trip.
At that time, although there was a conflict of ideas between their father and son, they were also very harmonious and warm, even if Lin Wenbo was very painful when receiving these things, he was very happy in his heart.
