Chapter 7 The stingy second uncle|The first New Year
At the time of demolition, the house was in the name of the old man, and the old man had passed away, and all the first heirs in the family must be present to sign before the demolition procedures can be handled.
The second child instigated the aunt who didn't have any ideas at the time, and the two of them insisted that the second child didn't get a house at that time, and the one they lived in was a school, so they had to share the money.
The three brothers fell out from then on, and Dad Lin didn't expect that his brother and his sister who had always loved him would stab him in the back. If the money of that house is divided into three parts, the family will only have tens of thousands of yuan, and in that era when housing prices skyrocketed several times overnight, they can't even buy a small single one!
At that time, Dad Lin lost a lot of weight, his face turned dark, and his spirit was very bad.
In the end, Aunt Lin couldn't bear it, and added Lin's father's friend to say yes, and the brother and sister only took 10,000 yuan to finish the matter.
At that time, after the demolition, the money was fortunately able to buy a partial single, plus a little decoration, and in addition, there was nothing left for the house.
Since then, Dad Lin has been disheartened, and he remembered his second uncle in that era, ignoring his grandfather and grandmother, and falling into the well in every way for himself, gritting his teeth, and cutting off contact with him.
The current second uncle, I'm afraid he is in a state of pride, who would have thought that handing over a set of only six or seven square meters of cottage would allow him to exchange for a big single?
"It's a big deal about moving now, and I don't have much money under my hands, so I'm ...... this year."
Second Uncle Lin kept talking over there, and although the relatively introverted Lin Dad was angry, he didn't want to be angry with his brother, so he just nodded, indicating that he could understand.
Second Uncle Lin said less than a dozen words, and immediately got up to say goodbye, and his ass was not hot.
Lin Xiaoxiao still sneered, from the time she was born to today, she had never seen this second uncle come to see her. When other families hear that they have been born, they will at least come to the door to see, even if they ask. But her second uncle is good, he sat beside him for so long, and he didn't seem to even find himself?
He doesn't have to be like this even if he doesn't want to give a greeting gift!
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin's father and Lin's mother were on vacation, and the two of them got up early in the morning to paste hanging money and window flowers.
Dad Lin can write calligraphy, so with a stroke of the pen, he wrote two lines of words with thick ink on two pieces of red paper.
Lin Xiaoxiao was lying next to her grandmother, and there was no way to see what Lin Dad's father wrote on the table. Fortunately, Dad Lin picked it up first and showed it to Grandma Lin.
Uplink: The five lakes and all the seas are spring, the downlink: thousands of rivers and mountains are full of brilliance, and the horizontal batch: Vientiane is renewed.
First reaction: vulgar!
But vulgar is vulgar, Daddy Lin's words are neat and delicate, which shows how strictly Grandpa Lin, who has left, trained Daddy Lin back then.
Lin Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and nodded, in his previous life, he was a first-handed dog, and he only practiced calligraphy for two days, and after receiving many praises, he was completely thrown aside, which is really a shame for Dad Lin, who writes well!
When we can get the pen, we have to let Dad Lin write Braille and paste it for himself to practice, and I can't let him lose face in this life.
In the evening of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Second Uncle Lin's family of four came, accompanied by two cousins, the eldest cousin Lin Li was ten years old, and the second cousin Lin Liang was five years old.
Lin Li is round, chubby, and her eyes are big, although her eyes are big, she has a simple feeling, it turns out that she is also very honest.
Lin Liang looks more shrewd, although her eyes are also with the Lin family, they are big, but the other five views follow her mother.
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh secretly: Fortunately, the second sister's appearance did not follow her mother, and the second aunt and her old parents are very distinctive.
The chin is short, so short that there is almost no chin, and the eyes are small, not to mention, they are still slanted...... Coupled with that pair of thick spectacle lenses, how do you look so ...... cough, although she doesn't like her person, Lin Xiaoxiao still decided not to say bad things about others behind her back.
"Yikes! Laugh and laugh! Let the second aunt take a look~~" A contrived voice came out of the second aunt's mouth, making Lin Xiao laugh with goosebumps.
I didn't expect this gardener of the motherland to be able to issue such a ...... Such a terrifying sound.
Mother Lin took out two red envelopes and put them in Lin Li's hands, Lin Xiaoxiao knew that there were five cents in each. And the second aunt also took out a red envelope and put it in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, while everyone was not paying attention, Lin Xiaoxiao quietly rubbed it with her little hand - it was also five cents......
There are two children in the family, and there is only one in the family, so the mother is with this deal.
In these years, between relatives who have a good relationship or can't pull down their faces, it is already good to give a red envelope of five cents and a dollar to the child, after all, at this time, everyone's monthly salary is only calculated in the unit of "ten", and five cents for children, can buy the ten five-cent big popsicles!
And Lin Xiaoxiao hasn't opened a few teeth yet, what snacks can he eat?
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao remembered her group of cousins and cousins, almost all of her relatives now have children at home, and there are often two or three people in the family, and the New Year's money she received changes hands and has to be handed over to the father-in-law...... This deal is too bad to deal!
Turning on the radio, the family listened to the Spring Festival Gala while eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Tonight's dishes are fried by Mama Lin herself - no way, it's okay to let Grandma Lin usually cook a dish when Mama Lin gets off work late, but it would be too unkind for the visiting guests to treat Grandma Lin for the New Year, and who doesn't know that Dad Lin has taken a wife who can cook and can cook? If you don't let her do it at this time, who will do it?
On the table, the two cousins ate with their mouths full of oil, and even the eldest cousin Lin Li, who usually talks the least and can't speak the most obediently, is all eager to cook deliciously.
The second aunt said with a smile: "Your aunt's cooking has always been delicious, or you won't leave today." ”
This is said tepidly, although it always sounds a little prickly from the sentence, but if you add her soft voice, polite tone, and kind expression, it will make you feel that she must praise Lin Ma's cooking skills from the bottom of her heart, and she is not dissatisfied with her daughter's disguised behavior of expressing her poor cooking skills, but is very admired for her daughter's vision.
So, Mother Lin had no choice but to respond: "Then let Lili and Liangliang live!" ”
"Alas, if I don't have to go to my relatives in two days, I'll let them stay, and let them come over when the eldest lady's house is not busy!"
Look, what a harmonious pair of concubines, Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her sincere admiration for this.
The sound of the program came from the radio, and songs came out of it, the Spring Festival Gala in 83 was only in the experimental stage, and the programs inside were relatively relaxed and casual, mostly singing.
Of course, today, when television is not yet popular, only songs are more widely transmitted.
Unexpectedly, in the first Spring Festival after his birth, he actually caught up with the first Spring Festival Gala.
Suddenly heard the cross talk between Jiang Kun and Li Wenhua, and suddenly remembered that Li Lao later left the cross talk stage because of total laryngectomy surgery for laryngeal cancer, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly sighed, what can be more sad than being forced to leave the career he loves the most?
Lin Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, quietly listening to the sound coming from the loudspeaker with some noise, beside her, her relatives thought she was asleep.
Before twelve o'clock that night, the second uncle's family of four took their leave, the Lin family was too small, they really didn't need to stay up here for Chinese New Year's Eve, just wait until the next morning to eat vegetarian dumplings.
After twelve o'clock, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside the window, which woke up Lin Xiaoxiao, who had already fallen asleep.
Outside the window, in addition to the sound of firecrackers, there is also a faint mixture of the crying of a baby.
"Yo, our family is not even afraid to fire a cannon when we laugh!" Mother Lin was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would be afraid, and was about to pick her up to comfort her, but she didn't expect Lin Xiao to just stare at her round little eyes and look around curiously.
"Xiaoxiao is so bold~ When I grow up, let's go shoot with my father!" Dad Lin's teasing was exchanged for Lin Xiaoxiao's teeth and claws.
She didn't dare to show that she could understand her parents' words, so she had to fool her by pretending to be stupid and waving her little hand. Although she was not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, but the smoke that overflowed into the house choked her to tears, Lin Ma put a small mask on her face, but she was afraid that she would be held back and didn't dare to work too hard.
Dad Lin went out of the house with firecrackers, set off firecrackers in the alley, and then returned home and began to cook dumplings - according to local customs, the first vegetarian dumpling in the New Year must be cooked by the man in the family, what is the specific statement Lin Xiaoxiao does not know. All she knew was that it was the case every year in her mind.
"Come, girl, take a bite, just take a bite." used a small spoon to break up a dumpling that had just come out of the pot, and after Lin Ma blew it cold, fed it to Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth.
Eating vegetarian dumplings is to look forward to the coming year's "vegetarian and clean" not to encounter unpleasant and unlucky things, Lin Xiaoxiao obediently opened his mouth and sipped a little meaning.
Mom's vegetarian dumpling filling is a must! However, it would be better if there were fewer fritters in it......
I suddenly remembered that I seemed to hate vegetarian dumplings very much when I was very young, and I only liked to eat meat, but my taste changed when I grew up, and now I am coming back with the taste of rebirth? Well, that's fine, save it in the future~.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xiaoxiao's shoes, who were sleeping soundly, were woken up from a sweet dream by a deafening sound of firecrackers, and after a small yawn, he found that the second uncle's family, who left early last night, had arrived at this time.
The family gathered around the table, ate vegetarian dumplings and left again - according to Lin's mother's words, that is, how much money for the New Year was brought in, and the four of them had to eat as much as they wanted before going back.
Dad Lin was ready to go out with the things prepared in advance to give gifts, while Mother Lin took Lin Xiaoxiao around the alley, and casually greeted people when she saw them.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was born as a qualified student and wanted to play a qualified baby, closed her eyes and fell asleep after Lin's mother held her for 20 minutes.
