Chapter 54: Father and Son
Lin Wenbo's face looked better, but when he thought of Qiao Meng, who was becoming more and more irritable and nagging at home, he couldn't help but be irritable.
In fact, his parents' pension is a lot, not lower than his salary, but they are not very good at living, they spend nine yuan if they have ten yuan, and sometimes they encounter beloved things, even if they are in debt, they have to buy, so they can't save money at all.
If they can think about their children and grandchildren, they will not be unable to get a penny now.
Lin Wenbo couldn't help but feel a little resentful about his parents.
Lin Qingwan was accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when she saw the resentment in his eyes, her heart couldn't help but feel cold, and her fingers pinching the teacup couldn't help but tighten.
However, she quickly smiled and said in a soft voice: "I know that Chunjun has grown up, and you and Aunt Qiao are also in difficulty, but I also work, so I have some income, and in two years, Chunjun should be able to help when he gets married." ”
Lin Wenbo looked at Lin Qingwan in surprise, he didn't expect her to say such a thing, you must know that her relationship with their family of three has always been very tense.
Lin Qingwan saw that he was suspicious, so she sighed and said, "He is my younger brother after all." ”
And said: "And I don't want my grandfather to be sad, although the hospital said that my grandfather's condition has improved and he doesn't need to be hospitalized anymore, you should know that it is terminal cancer after all, and I hope he can spend the rest of his days easily and happily." ”
Lin Wenbo heard her subtext, his face turned red, and he said stiffly: "Don't worry, I won't come to your grandfather to borrow money again." ”
"Aunt Qiao's ......?"
Lin Wenbo took a deep breath and said, "I will restrain her." ”
Lin Qingwan put down the teacup with a smile and habitually glanced out at the sky, "It doesn't seem to be early, are you going to rush to the unit?" ”
Lin Wenbo got up sullenly, didn't let Lin Qingwan send it, and went downstairs by himself.
When I got downstairs, I met an old lady with a child waiting for the elevator, and the two or three-year-old child was clamoring for milk, so the old lady found a carton of milk for him.
The child happened to see the money in her hand, and reached out to pull it.
The old lady touched his little head and smiled: "Baby, this money is saved for grandma to help you save and use it for you to go to school in the future, okay?" ”
Lin Wenbo retracted his gaze and walked out with a cold face.
His parents never went out of their way to save money, perhaps because of the different experiences.
At that time, there was a big revolution in the country, parents were implicated, the family's savings were swept away, and they were cheaper than others.
So that for a long time, the family was a good one, good when it was good, and it couldn't even fill its stomach when it was bad.
Fortunately, those days passed quickly, and his parents never let him suffer except for those years.
But unlike his parents, he didn't want to live a full meal and a hungry meal, so before he joined the work, he habitually saved the money on his body.
What his parents gave, other elders gave, and later he earned it by his own work, except for his son, he was rarely willing to waste.
So when his mother was seriously ill, he had a lot more possessions than his parents.
He and Qiao Meng both have assigned units and houses, his one has two bedrooms and one living room, and Qiao Meng's has one bedroom and one living room.
At that time, my parents lived in a bungalow assigned by the school, and the yard was very large, and they arranged it beautifully, but the inside was very old.
At that time, housing prices were not crazy, and no one counted the house in the assets.
In addition to the house, what my parents have is just a bunch of objects that they have bought in exchange for their own interests, as well as seals and paintings that they have carved.
There wasn't much money on the books at the time.
She found a lawyer and the old man from the clan, and said that in the future, the old couple's things will be left to Qingwan, and he and Qiao Meng's things will be disposed of by them, and Qingwan will not fight with Chunjun in the future.
At that time, Qingwan had just entered high school, and it was the time when she spent the most money, and her parents didn't know moderation when raising children, so they paid for her whatever she wanted, and developed her habit of spending lavishly.
So Lin Wenbo and Qiao Mengmeng didn't want to agree to it.
The will was thus decided.
Who knew that as soon as the old lady left, the housing price began to derail, and what they didn't expect was that the bungalow they lived in would be rebuilt in less than two years, so a group of old professors and intellectuals moved to Meixiangyuan collectively.
Compared with the low-rise and dilapidated bungalows, the plum garden is almost like a paradise, with complete facilities, high security, and spacious and bright.
The old man also made up 200,000 yuan on the original area and bought a duplex.
At that time, he didn't think of the will, but the old man reminded him of it, because he directly recorded the house in Lin Qingwan's name.
Apparently to prevent him, it is impossible to say that he is not sad.
Over the years, the relationship between father and son has not been very harmonious, Lin Wenbo minds in his heart, he always feels that his father looks at him like a pile of scum, and the words of those uncles sounded in his ears, "It's a pity, it's far from Wen Zhan and Wen An." ”
Lin Wenbo pursed his lips, he was worse than the eldest brother and the second brother, because he didn't die on the battlefield, but wasn't it the old man's decision that he didn't go to the army?
At this time, Lin Su was also distracted, he pinched the chess pieces and didn't move for a while, Sun Lao looked at him for a while, gently put the chess pieces in the urn, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Su sighed faintly and said, "Children are all debts." ”
Elder Sun knew the situation of his family, frowned and said, "You and your sister-in-law have already made a will, why do you still bother with this heart." If you want me to say that you will live happily now, how they will fight in the future will be your matter in a hundred years. ”
Lin Su shook his head and said, "Then what about my family Qingwan?" ”
He and his wife made a will early, not to keep the last bit of love between their father and daughter, so as not to be too embarrassed for some family wealth.
Lin Su lost the interest in playing chess again, threw down the chess pieces and said, "The evil obstacle should also go, I'll go back and take a look." ”
Sun Lao was worried that he would be angry again, so he hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go back with you." ”
There is no one at home, Lin Wenbo is gone, and Lin Qingwan should also be gone.
Lin Su walked into the house, and then found the note left by Lin Qingwan on the dinner table, "Grandpa, I went to work, there is stewed soup in the kitchen, you eat it at noon, I will buy fish and come back in the evening, let's eat fish hot pot." ”
Sun Lao also saw it and sighed: "No wonder you love her so much...... Alas! ”
If his children and grandchildren were half as intimate as her, he wouldn't be indifferent to everything now.
Lin Su pursed his lips and turned around and went to the collection room.
This house is where the grandparents live, so there is a small room dedicated to the tablet of the wife, and the grandparents and grandchildren each have a study.
In addition, there is a particularly large collection room, which occupies half of the second floor.
It was full of things collected by their husband and wife and Lin Qingwan, and it was not the first time that Sun Lao had come in, and his eyes had to light up every time he came.
The things in it are very miscellaneous, and they collect these things not because of their value, but because they really like them.
Some are cultural relics, which are very expensive, but more are ordinary things, which are worth a thousand gold in the hearts of those who like them, but they are worthless in the eyes of others.
Lin Su took down a box on top, rubbed it for a while, opened it, and showed Sun Lao what was inside.
When Sun Lao saw the things inside, his eyes lit up and said, "I have long heard that my sister-in-law was born in a scholarly family, and she brought a lot of good things when she married you, and this jade Ruyi was brought by my sister-in-law?" ”
"Yes, the most valuable thing in this room is this jade Ruyi." Lin Su was infinitely reluctant, but he said a little ruthlessly: "What the hell is this a dead thing, how can it be important to have a living person, it's really not good, I sold it ......"
"Lao Lin," Sun Lao hurriedly stopped: "It was so difficult back then, my sister-in-law kept this thing, and it was obvious that she liked it very much, how could you sell it?" Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you let them make trouble, I will see what flowers they can make. ”
"I'm afraid of hurting Qingwan's heart, that child is already weak, and if he is troubled for property, I don't know how uncomfortable it is."
Thinking of Lin Qingwan's fierce personality, Sun Lao choked slightly.
Lin Su stroked the box and sighed for the first time: "If Wen Zhan or Wen An are still ......"
Lin Su's eyes were hot when he said this, and he turned his head slightly.
He never compares three children to each other, because he knows that people are not the same.
Even if many people told him that Wen Bo was far from his two brothers, many people felt sorry for him.
But he and his wife never felt that Wen Bo was inferior to his two elder brothers, they were born differently, grew up in different environments, and even inherited different expectations from their parents, so how could they ask them to be the same?
But the death of his two sons one after another still gave him and his wife a big blow, so the requirements for Lin Wenbo will not be so strict.
When the boy was a child, he liked to hide things like a squirrel in the winter, and he and his wife only thought that Coke was there, so they liked to buy things for him, and they were also very satisfied when they saw him hide and look satisfied.
In the first twenty-five years, he was very satisfied with them, although there were problems and frictions, but the family was happy and there were never major contradictions.
The first rift was when he and Qiao Meng interacted.
They didn't expect their son to make such a mistake, which undoubtedly stepped on their bottom line.
The wife didn't like Qiao Meng very much, the conflicts that broke out during that time were fierce and frequent, and in the end they couldn't stand it, and the wood was already in the boat, Qingwan's mother had divorced and gone abroad, and they couldn't keep grasping this matter to turn the family upside down.
I can only pack up my things and go back to the countryside, out of sight.
But they never thought that they would treat Qingwan like that.
The two-year-old child, who was originally white and fat, was so thin that he only had a layer of skin and bones after not seeing him for three months, and he was so hungry that he couldn't even walk, so he could only crawl on the ground.
If they hadn't come back to see their newborn grandson, they wouldn't have known if Qingwan was gone.
Qiao Meng cried and said that the family was in difficulty, Chun Jun was born, his health was not good, and he needed to run to the hospital, and they had tried their best to squeeze food out of their mouths to give it to her.
At that time, Lin Wenbo lowered his head and didn't say a word, and he didn't look at his daughter.
Lin Su and his wife felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts, looking at him, the couple almost couldn't believe that this was the child they had taught.
