Chapter 170: Birthday Gift
After listening to his mother's explanation, Lin Yuan couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips and asked, "Mom, is it my grandfather's own idea or my uncle's idea to celebrate my grandfather's birthday?" ”
He knew that his mother was used to being poor before, and she lived a very frugal life, so it was impossible to make such a scene as her birthday.
As for the aunt, although their family has been living a good life, they are not rich after all, and the aunt is more "frugal" than her mother.
Zhang Wenjuan said impatiently: "What do you care whose idea he is?" Now that you have decided to celebrate your birthday, you should prepare a gift and go over for a meal together when the time comes, and it will be lively, isn't it over? ”
"Understood, it must have been my uncle's idea."
Lin Yuan's heart is the same as Spiegel.
Zhang Wenchang is a typical lazy person, a person in his forties, who doesn't even have a serious job, and he can't earn a few dollars by doing odd jobs for others all year round.
His wife and children followed him, and his life was tight, and he didn't feel anything wrong.
With such a family condition, what kind of birthday does Zhang Luo want to have?
As long as this uncle is a little self-motivated, Lin Yuan will find a way to help him.
It's a pity that the mud can't support the wall.
A few years ago, my grandmother died, and the whole white affair was actually paid by my mother and aunt.
And the relatives and friends were all squinted by the uncle alone.
The words are nice, and they say that they are for grandpa to support the elderly.
The old sisters didn't care about him because he didn't have enough money and the sister-brother relationship from childhood to adulthood.
This time to celebrate his grandfather's birthday, when Lin Yuan heard it, he knew that it must be his uncle who wanted to repeat his old tricks and was ready to make a big profit.
Zhang Wenjuan persuaded: "Okay, okay, don't think about it so much, we have such a high income now, and we don't lack this money, so we should help him." With such a reason, it's better than licking his face and going to the door to borrow money, right? ”
Lin Yuan sighed and said, "I understand, the money for this birthday is paid by our family, and even my aunt doesn't pay for it, right?" ”
Zhang Wenjuan was silent for a moment and said, "She still has to pay for the money." ”
Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly.
Of course he doesn't care about this money, how much can he spend on a birthday in the countryside? Tens of thousands of dollars died.
He mainly felt sorry for his mother's good temper.
"Okay, I know, I'll definitely pick a good birthday gift to make grandpa happy!"
"That's right."
Zhang Wenjuan's brows, which had been frowning, finally relaxed.
"By the way, does grandpa still like to play with walnuts?"
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that when he was in elementary school, his grandfather held two walnuts in his hand every day.
In fact, it's just an ordinary walnut, and it's not worth much, it's just a fun picture.
Over the years, the pair of walnuts has been very round by my grandfather.
Later, when he grew up, Lin Yuan rarely returned to Wangfu Village, and naturally he no longer cared about such trivial things as walnuts.
As soon as he said that he was going to give a birthday gift today, he suddenly remembered his grandfather's hobby.
"Like, why not? I've been on the plate for decades, and if I don't have these two things in my hand, it's like having a problem, and I keep cramping at every turn. ”
Zhang Wenjuan smiled bitterly, "The pair of walnuts in the past was broken, and then it was replaced by a pair, and I don't know what it looks like now." ”
Lin Yuan nodded, and had an idea in his heart.
He wanted to give his grandfather a generous gift to make him happy, but he was afraid that his uncle would be remembered, so he turned around and sold it for money.
Sending a pair of walnuts is simply too suitable.
In grandpa's heart, walnuts are estimated to be more important than their own son, and they will definitely not be succeeded by their uncle.
