Lin Qingjunmu was stunned and followed Lin Qingwan to the second floor, "It's just a dinner, as for it?" β
"There are many things in this world that cannot be disappointed, food is one of them, there are only five internal organs in people's bodies, how can you be willing to grieve your stomach?"
Lin Qingjun was speechless.
"Okay, hurry up and help dismantle the gift boxes underneath, classify and put them away, take a break, let's go early, Zhuo Bo's vegetarian is difficult to order, you can eat it."
Lin Qingjun asked more, "It's so difficult to book, isn't it very expensive?" β
"Fortunately, the three of us will only have four or five hundred for a meal."
Lin Qingjun glared, "It's just a vegetarian dish, it's not expensive?" β
Lin Qingwan touched his head sympathetically, "Haven't you eaten anything good?" Child, a good vegetarian meal is much more expensive than meat dishes, Zhuo Bo's pricing is fair, and the price has not increased much over the years. β
That is to say, they have often gone to eat this vegetarian fast over the years, no wonder, parents always say that grandparents have no money, especially mother, who always tells his grandmother behind his back that he is worried that his sister will rob him of family wealth in the future.
With such a way of spending, it's no wonder that there is no money.
Lin Qingjun only settled here after the winter vacation, and he used to go to school only every week or every other week, and he came to see his grandfather when he was free.
And only by living here can he feel the speed at which his grandfather spends money.
It's just that during the winter vacation of ten days, my grandfather issued a pension, went to the hospital for a re-examination, and had a medical insurance card, especially my grandfather was highly qualified, and the state was basically responsible for seeing a doctor.
Turning down the salesman who sold health supplements all the way, his grandfather took him all the way to the theater, saying that the test results were good, and in order to celebrate, he invited him to the opera.
A ticket is eight hundred, and after listening to the opera, grandpa invited him to dinner.
Because I listened to it in the restaurant, and there was a Yue Opera performance in the theater two days later, my grandfather returned to the theater to buy a ticket, considering that he didn't want to watch it, so he bought one for Uncle Luo.
Usually they rarely go out to eat, breakfast is bought outside the community, and then cook a little more by themselves.
But according to Lin Qingjun's observation, grandpa has to go out for dinner at least once a month, and if someone accompanies him, he happily takes someone with him, and when no one accompanies him, he goes with Xiaoyu by himself.
Lin Qingjun swore that he had never seen such an old man who could enjoy himself, and his parents were far worse than his grandfather.
Obviously, my sister perfectly inherited the trait of her grandfather, she opened all the gift boxes, put them on the table if they were usable, and closed them and put them aside if they didn't need them.
Lin Qingjun took a look and found that they were all things like tobacco, alcohol and health products, and he couldn't help asking, "Sister, don't you want these things?" β
"No, the wine at home is better than these, and no one drinks it if you keep it."
"What about that?"
"It's sold," Lin Qingwan said indifferently: "Put the things in the corner of the study first, and I'll call the door to get it when I go back." β
Lin Qingjun found that she didn't look at it and put the things her father brought into the pile, and was embarrassed, "Master, grandpa also agreed to sell it?" β
Lin Qingwan glanced up at him, just in time to see him looking at the gift boxes, and smiled: "What, I feel sorry for your father?" β
"Sister!"
"Don't feel distressed, red wine, health products and fruit baskets, as long as you come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, these are the things you mentioned, is this what he bought?"
Lin Qingjun He really didn't pay attention, I just need to follow my parents to visit, as for who bought the gift, he really doesn't know, but after thinking about the situation at home, he said: "It should be my mother who bought it, aren't these the standard for gifts?" β
"What a stupid boy, what kind of things did they send you to visit your colleagues?"
Lin Qingjun nodded, and he also helped to lift it.
"Then go to your grandparents' house and these things?"
Lin Qingjun hesitated and did not nod.
That's not the case.
Lin Qingwan smiled again and asked, "What about going to a few good uncles' houses?" You'll always go along, what are the gifts they brought with you? β
Lin Qingjun didn't speak.
"These are all things that they brought from home to other people, but they brought them here from there to become a gift for grandpa." Lin Qingwan sneered: "We don't say it, they still treat us as fools." β
Lin Qingjun lowered his head weakly.
"I'm hypocritical, but I know the etiquette of gift-giving, and I bring them back with my own things, and I take them with things they can use. Grandpa didn't say it, because he didn't want to quarrel with him for such a trivial matter, and gave him no face in front of our juniors; I didn't say it because I didn't want my grandfather to be embarrassed, but he didn't have self-knowledge, and he thought that my grandfather and I were hypocritical. β
Lin Qingwan sneered: "If we weren't hypocritical, we would have thrown things out directly." I am not saying this to accuse him, but to teach you. β
"The most correct thing they did in their lives was to send you to a good school and find a good teacher to teach you, otherwise I don't think we would be able to sit together and chat."
These words made Lin Qingjun a little uncomfortable.
The person on the other side suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled gently: "Sister thinks, you have also grown up, it is time to learn some sophistication, and you will help me clear these gift boxes in a while, and I will also teach you some rules for gift-giving." β
Suddenly, it made people feel like a spring breeze.
Lin Qingwan looked at him and asked, "Which one do you like me?" β
Lin Qingjun became entangled, secretly glanced at her, glanced at her again, and said weakly: "Just now." β
"Then do you think I'm hypocritical?"
Lin Qingjun couldn't wait to shake his head off.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "Both are me, but the former one is very honest, and the latter one I know some cover-up, you have to remember, I am not teaching you hypocrisy, be sincere, the purpose of my two words is the same, but the first words are displeasing to hear, and the latter words are grateful, this is the technique of speaking." β
"Treat people with sincerity, not just pour out all the words like a straight tube, there should be a distance between people, even between parents, husband and wife, children, you should know that there are some things to say and some things not to say. Language is very mysterious, the same meaning, in different words, to give people different feelings. Lin Qingwan got up and went to the bookshelf to pick out a random book and stuffed it into his arms, "If you have nothing to do, you can read it as an extracurricular book." β
Lin Qingjun took a look, "The Art of Speaking", a very new book, which didn't seem to have been opened, and he felt that his sister just found a random copy for him, and she might not have read it herself.
"People who can do whatever they want are somewhat uneducated in the eyes of the world, because they are indecent and don't say some things that they shouldn't say. If there is a person who can do things and talk as he wants, and the people around him still express their intimacy and liking, then congratulations, he lives in a hypocritical world. If this person can feel this atmosphere for the rest of his life, then congratulations to him again, he has lived a happy life, and his strength, or the strength of his family background, can protect him in a smooth life. Lin Qingwan said: "Some people will envy him very much, because although it may be fake, after a lifetime of falsehood, at least he thinks it is true, this is happiness, as for what is behind the scenes, who will know?" β
"But there are also people who think that happiness is the truth, so they feel that they have lived in hypocrisy in vain, so they think he is miserable," Lin Qingwan looked at him and said, "And I am precisely the one who will think that he is miserable." Life is short for a hundred years, almost no time has passed, and it is almost gone, and it is pitiful to live in hypocrisy all your life? Even if the truth is brutal, I want to get a glimpse of what my life really is. So you remember, if you want others to treat you with sincerity, you must first treat others with sincerity. Do you understand? β
Lin Qingjun nodded again and again, his parents had never taught him these truths like this, he looked at his sister enviously, "Sister, is this how grandpa and grandma taught you?" β
"Yes," Lin Qingwan lowered her head and continued to open the gift box, "Otherwise, what you see now is not me." β
Her personality is not as good as Lin Qingjun, she is very difficult, and her grandparents have taken a lot of effort to let her listen to these truths.
It can be said that the education know-how of the two old men in the second half of their lives was practiced from Lin Qingwan.
Lin Chunjun was very curious, "Sister, who told you all these things?" Grandparents will never tell you these grievances, right? β
"Then you have to thank my living environment, and the incident of Lin Wenqiao's three families back then was big enough, so that people in the life circle of grandparents know that even if we go back to the countryside to live and return to the city from the countryside, there is never a shortage of storytellers." Lin Qingwan raised her head and smiled at him, "And I, since I was a child, have a skill that can extract truth from true and false news. β
Lin Chunjun: "...... My sister is amazing. β
Lin Qingwan opened the gift box of the Zhou family, and she motioned to Lin Chunjun to look at it, "These are the gifts that can make people feel valued." β
Lin Chunjun looked over and found that it was a box of salted duck eggs, a jar of tea, and two stomach-nourishing health products, which were obviously for Lin Su.
Grandpa Lin likes to drink tea and also likes to eat salted duck eggs. Because it is not good to eat too many salted duck eggs, he eats two times a week, and every time he gets up early to cook porridge, and eats salted duck eggs with porridge and side dishes, and his appetite is particularly good every time.
Lin Su's appetite is not good, this is also an open secret, in the past two days, Lin Chunjun has helped his grandfather to receive gifts from his students, many of which are for nourishing the stomach.
These are not too valuable batches, and the valuable ones, such as the jewelry given to Lin Qingwan, have been put aside, in her words, the etiquette is beyond the outline, and he doesn't have to study.
The sisters and brothers classified everything well, put it in a good place for their own use, and sold everything they didn't need.
Lin Qingwan felt that this would be a lot of income, and Lin Chunjun asked while moving the gift box that needed to be sold downstairs under the command of his sister, "Sister, if Brother Yi makes the same mistake as Dad in the future, what will happen to you?" β
Lin Qingwan turned around and smiled at him, "Although I don't quite agree with your assumptions, I will still tell you that now is a society governed by the rule of law, and of course I came in accordance with the law." It's a good time, and women can't be 100% equal to men, but they can basically be their own masters as long as they want to, so why not think big? β
Lin Chunjun touched his neck, but he always felt a little cold.
