Chapter 241: Finally Gone
The old lady barely slept for half the night, just wondering what went wrong?
She has been here for more than 20 days, and it is impossible to say that she has not taken advantage of it, Lin Tong is lavish, and she gives a lot of money every time she buys vegetables, and she buys very little meat, and she also accounts for dozens of yuan in vegetable money these days.
She thought that this was a person who didn't care about money and was easy to handle, but in the end she found that she was very wrong.
It's not that Lin Tong doesn't care about money, it's just that these don't reach her bottom line, so she doesn't care.
The old lady is entangled, she is a mother-in-law, where can she put her face if she wins a daughter-in-law?
But Lin Tong is different from her weak mother, she doesn't give you face at all, and her words with a smile can make you angry, what should she do?
The old lady is worthy of being a family member who has held her eldest son for many years, and she is also very decisive in doing things, she judged what was beneficial to her, and immediately did so.
Lin Tong entrusted his mother's lunch to his aunt, and took this large group of people to ** again.
No way, ** square is a place where everyone who comes to the capital must come, if you don't come here, can you say that you have been to the capital?
Early this morning, the old lady's face was no longer gloomy, it was a rare sunny day, and with a hint of a smile, Lin Tong understood that the old lady had made a decision that was beneficial to her.
It's easy to deal with smart people.
Lin Tong didn't have Xu Zhenhua's original concerns, so he couldn't be pinched by the old lady.
Rebirth is where her confidence lies.
The old lady didn't look for trouble, Lin Tong wouldn't be stingy, she had enough fun, she bought two pieces of fabric for the old lady and the old man, a pair of single shoes and cotton shoes, a cotton hat for the old man, a few children bought snacks to eat on the road, and brought a piece of fabric for the cub who didn't come.
Mr. Zero always bought a big bag and took them to eat the famous mutton shabu in the capital.
Eating one by one is satisfied, before the children wanted to eat roast duck, but as soon as they heard that a duck was not enough for them to eat alone, they dispelled this idea, or hot pot is good, you can eat as much meat as you want, eat as much as you want.
Looking at the thick empty plate, the waiter looked at them with the wrong eyes, these children are children, and adults may not be able to eat better than them!
And that old lady, aren't you afraid to hold on to eating so much?
Lin Tong and Xu Nian both looked at each other, Xu Nian was enough to eat, but when it came to these few things, it was a big deal.
Suddenly, a piercing laugh came, "Look, these people can really eat, haven't they ever eaten meat in their lives?" β
This shameful laughter was too loud, and Lin Tong frowned when he heard it.
They are not good and they are also their own family, what is the matter with you as an outsider? Didn't spend your money again?
The old lady didn't look at her daughter-in-law coming one by one, she also wanted to save face outside, her face turned red when she heard this ridicule, and she put down her chopsticks and didn't eat.
Several of the children also bit their lipes and remained silent.
Lin Tong was unhappy, and when he looked back, he saw that two young people, a man and a woman, had just finished eating and came out of the single room, and the woman was pointing at them with a look of disdain.
Lin Tong glanced at it and said lightly: "What we eat is yours?" Spent your money? The tube is wide! Turning back to a few children, "Eat when you need to, and don't eat when you're full." It is the time to grow your body, eat more to grow up. I don't have to listen to what outsiders say, and I didn't eat her. β
Seeing that she didn't care about it, Tie Zhu was happy, and the eldest lady said that she could eat it, and it was a chopstick.
The woman didn't expect that she was scolded, she pointed at Lin Tong and was about to speak, Xu Jianhao came out of the single room with a few young people, and said unhappily: "Wang Er, why can't you do it, let your woman shut up, blind ** what?" What do people eat that has anything to do with her? β
As soon as Lin Tong spoke just now, he heard it, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this girl really refused to eat at all.
Lin Tong turned his head and couldn't help but be happy, stood up and walked towards him, "I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!" β
Xu Jianhao smiled, "It seems that the most we say is this 'coincidence'!" β
Lin Tong smiled, "Your help in my mother's surgery, I want to thank you very much!" I called you once, but you're not there. I still thought, how can I thank you so much! β
"Thank me, why don't you invite me to dinner!" Xu Jianhao half-jokingly.
The friends behind him were already stunned, staring at Lin Tong one by one, wanting to see what kind of sacredness this was, and making Xu Lao Wu so pleasant.
In this era, it will be misleading for men and women to eat together, but Lin Tong is not afraid, she can bring a few children with her, so she happily agreed, "Okay, do you have time tomorrow?" How about I invite you, or hot pot? β
Xu Jianhao just wanted to tease her, and was a little surprised to hear her so happy, "I have something to do tomorrow, so let's owe it first." β
Lin Tong sometimes feels keenly scary, as soon as she heard it, she knew that this was a prevarication, anyway, she didn't dwell on the words of thanks, she didn't dwell on it, smiled and nodded, "Okay, you will have time in the future." β
When the gang left, she turned back to her seat, and the old lady looked at her wrongly, "Who is that man?" You're going to invite him to dinner? You ......"
Lin Tong interrupted her, "Mom, this is a public place, can you talk about it when you go home?" Thank you! β
The old lady thought of being told by a young man about the chopsticks just now, so she closed her mouth and stopped talking, but the knives in her eyes slashed at Lin Tong one after another, and her eyes seemed to be seeing her daughter-in-law who was cheating.
Lin Tong was already immune, but when he didn't look at it, he asked a few children, "Have you eaten enough?" β
The children said in unison: "Eat enough." β
"When you're full, let's go!" Lin Tong went to settle the bill, and this meal ate her manuscript fee once, and the old lady looked at her behind her and felt distressed, and she couldn't wait to scold the restaurant for being too black-hearted.
"It's too dark, it's just too dark." When she came out, the old lady was still babbling and muttering.
Lin Tong was simply hehe, "Mom, you haven't counted, how many plates of meat did we eat in total?" Still suspect that people are black-hearted? β
The old lady choked for a moment, shut up and sulked for a while, and then said: "Tell me, we don't eat this stuff at home, this restaurant is also raw meat, why is it so delicious?" β
When she got home, she had a smell on her body, Xu Xiaowan couldn't see it with her eyes, but her nose smelled good, "Xiaotong, what kind of smell do you have?" How does it look like the smell of shabu-shabu? β
"Hey, Mom, you smell it, we're just going to eat hot pot." When Lin Tong said this, he felt that it was wrong, before going to eat hot pot, the old lady and the children didn't know what hot pot was, but Xu Xiaowan not only knew, but also smelled it as soon as she smelled it.
Lin Tong felt that there must be a secret in his mother.
She asked tentatively, Xu Xiaowan smiled, "You forgot, I used to work in a big family?" β
Lin Tong felt that her smile was unnatural, and she didn't know if it was her own illusion.
Lin Tong asked the children to scrub it, change the clothes, she washed them, wrung them clean and hung them out.
The old lady was grinding in her ear, nothing more than asking him how he knew the man?
"Not only do I know, but Zhenhua also knows, my mother's surgery was done early because he helped, otherwise it would have to be queued for a long time...... It's okay for me to thank him for having a meal, especially if I want to bring this group of kids...... Mom, don't worry about it, people are handy, what can you do? Didn't you see that I said that I invited the guest's house and didn't agree? β
When the old lady heard her say this, she was relieved, and said a lot, just because she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her loneliness, and that there were people outside her.
Lin Tong felt that she couldn't understand this old lady, looking at her nagging, she was a good mother who was worried about her son.
But what about the reality......
Lin Tong didn't know that the old lady had talked to Xiao Nian alone for a long time that day, it was nothing more than him watching his mother.
When the old lady left, Lin Tong gave her fifty yuan, bought a ticket to send them to the car, and this time, the house was completely quiet.
Ah, the sky is so blue, the water is so clear, Lin Tong's heart is also a lot lighter.
"Sent your mother-in-law away?" Xu Xiaowan saw that she was humming a song very happily, and said to her: "You have to pretend for a while, let the aunt see what she misses in her heart?" β
Lin Tong didn't care, "I'm just happy, everyone is gone and I still hold back!" β
Xu Xiaowan smiled helplessly, "You! β
At the end of August, the school was about to open, and Lin Tong went to remind Zhang Yonghua to do school for Xiao Nian.
Zhang Yonghua forgot about it, "If you don't say it, I forgot it, I'll go find someone tomorrow." β
In the evening, Xiao Lin saw that the house was quiet, ran to Xu Nian, took his hand and asked happily, "Will my brother be able to accompany Xiao Lin in the future?" β
Because there are so many children here, my brother hasn't taken her to play for a long time.
Xu Nian nodded, Xiao Lin clapped her hands happily, "Oh great, brother, let's play at home, you be a father, and I will be a mother......"
Xu Nian's face was bitter when he heard it, so naΓ―ve! But what should he do if he just promised his sister? I have to do what I promised on my knees.
Lin Tong has received several letters urging the manuscript, and even the editor has come to the door, starting today, she wants to return to her normal life.
Xu Xiaowan heard the sound of her daughter writing, so she touched the wall and went to the yard, the aunt was enjoying the coolness, watching the two children play house, seeing her come out, moved a small stool for her, and helped her sit down.
"Granny Kobayashi is gone, and now you are finally quiet. Didn't you see Xiao Lin singing happily! β
Xu Xiaowan was worried that her aunt would have an opinion of Lin Tong because of this, so she covered it up for her: "Xiaotong has been tired these days, and I can't help, but now that everyone is gone, she can also breathe a sigh of relief and rest." β
Aunt smiled: "Yes, your in-laws are here, I see that the air is depressed panic, go well, Xiaolin can breathe a sigh of relief, I see this month, she has lost a lot of weight, this half a year to raise that bit of meat, all down." β
Xu Xiaowan felt distressed when she heard it, "Yes, I touched her to lose weight, and I couldn't see it, this child still told me that she wasn't thin." β
"She's afraid you're worried, don't worry, the home will be quiet and it will be made up for slowly." Auntie thought to herself, isn't she talking, and busily diverted the topic, "How many acres of land do you have at home?" Is the harvest good? This is all contracted to the individual, and life will be better in the future. 2k reading network
