"Big brother, this time the money will be distributed to you first. Sister Zhao Di is in a hurry, but let's say it first, you won't have your share next time. ”

Lin Jianguo looked at the money in front of him, he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or the stone in his heart was heavier.

He was the eldest in the family, and he couldn't help the family share it, but let his younger brothers and sisters worry about his marriage.

Lin Youfa: "Marriage is a big deal, I'll go to Song's house with you tomorrow to see if we can buy the bicycle back, or send the money and tickets directly." Both of you are not young, so you will set your family affairs first, and you will marry someone before the year. ”

Lin Jianguo was silent for a moment and raised his head: "Dad, I can't take this money for nothing, you and your mother will be a witness, and all the money I earn will definitely be returned to my little sister in the future." ”

Lin Xi knew the temperament of the eldest brother, and saw that he insisted, so he didn't force it.

With money and tickets, the Lin and Song families quickly got married, and agreed to get married at the end of the year.

The eldest son's marriage was decided, and a stone in Fan Xiumei's heart also fell to the ground, and she was in a good mood, and with the medicine that Lin Xi bought, her condition was much better.

On this day, the mother and mother were picking vegetables in the yard, and Zhou Guiying, the mother of neighbor Li Zhicheng, came over and asked through the courtyard wall: "Second sister-in-law, have you heard?" Zhao Fugui's family had an accident last night. ”

Fan Xiumei straightened up: "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Xi also stopped what he was doing and looked at it curiously.

"The glass of his house was smashed last night, not one or two, but all the glass in their house was smashed, and a brick happened to be smashed on Zhao Fugui's arm, and I heard that it was swollen and couldn't lift it."

Fan Xiumei: "Do you know who did it?" ”

Zhou Guiying was stunned: "Didn't your family do it?" ”

"Yesterday, the founding of the country was established, and the masters stayed from Xinfa Village until late before coming back, how could they do this."

Zhou Guiying thought about it, and was about to say something else, who would have thought that Wang Cuihua would come to the door.

"If a family is black-hearted, they will break it behind their backs, smash the glass of our house, and break people, what do you say now?"

Lin Xi looked at her menacing appearance, and did not show weakness: "Wang Cuihua, are you sick?" Who smashed the glass of your house, who do you go to, and go to our house like a mad dog? ”

"The whole village knows about our two families. I'm going to have a tie with your family. Except for your family, I can't think of anyone else who can do such a lack of morality. ”

Lin Xi sneered: "What you said is really interesting, are you arrested, or do you really have evidence, everything is not all based on thinking, why do you think so well?" As far as the virtue of your family is concerned, there are many people who have offended, and who knows which good person will do the right thing for heaven. ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhou Guiying hurriedly persuaded: "Zhao family, you really misunderstood this time, yesterday was the founding of the country, and when the glass of your house was smashed, the masters were not at home at all." ”

Another villager also said: "Yes, you came to the door indiscriminately, and the two of you are good-tempered, if I have to shoot you out with a big stick." You hurry back and think about who else you have offended. ”

Listening to everyone's gossip accusations, Wang Cuihua knew that she was at a loss, so she had to leave stupidly.

Lin Xi stood in place and thought for a while, then suddenly reached into the basin on the side and washed two handfuls, and then said, "Mom, I'll go out." ”

Before Fan Xiumei could ask her where she was going, she saw someone leave the courtyard gate and go west.

Lin Xi went all the way to Shen's house, and saw the familiar figure in the courtyard at a glance.

I saw Shen Kang squatting in the middle of a pile of wood, with a pencil pinned to his ear, and he was seriously looking at something with his head down.

"Brother, when did you come back?"

Shen Kang raised his head when he heard the voice, and hooked his finger at her with a smile in his eyes: "Come in." ”

Lin Xi pushed open the courtyard door and came in, and found that he was the only one in the house.

"How do you know I'm back?"

Shen Kang's hand movements did not stop, one foot stepped on the plank, pulled the saw hard, and with his movements, the sawdust kept falling.

"I heard that the glass of Zhao Fugui's house was smashed."

Shen Kang sighed, and said disapprerovingly: "Then I guess I did something that shouldn't be done, otherwise why is it that other people's glass is good, but his glass is smashed?" ”

Lin Xi originally guessed that he did it, but seeing his reaction at this time, he was a little uncertain.

Just wondering, a draft book was suddenly handed in front of him.

"How about a look?"

Lin Xi took the notebook in his hand, and saw that the drawings on it were all the graphics of the cabinet, and the size was also marked.

Shen Kang's words dragon flying and phoenix dancing are very consistent with his character.

"Brother, you can even do carpentry?"

Looking at her adoring gaze, Shen Kang took out his cigarette case, took out one and put it in his mouth, lit it and took a puff, and casually threw the cigarette and matches on the stool beside him.

"I don't have any decent furniture in that house, so it's the same if I'm looking for someone to beat me, so it's better to get it myself. What do you have to ask for my brother? Why don't you go inside and have a look? ”

As he spoke, he patted the wood chips on his body, and took Lin Xi into the wing room behind him.

This was the first time Lin Xi had entered Shen Kang's room.

There are two rooms in total, and the furnishings are simple and almost immediately recognizable.

Directly opposite the door was a chest of drawers, a long table and a wooden chair by the window.

Near the west wall is a two-meter-wide kang, and at the end of the kang is a quilt folded into tofu blocks.

"What do you think of a large wardrobe at this end, and a sewing machine in the vacant space next to it?"

Lin Xi thought seriously for a moment and responded, "Brother, you are really thoughtful. ”

Shen Kang looked at Lin Xi as he looked at it more and more rarely. This child not only has a good personality, but also has a sweet mouth.

He took a deep puff of his cigarette, then snuffed out the end of the cigarette and threw it in the tin box on the table.

"When I return to the army, I will make a marriage report, and we will handle the family affairs at the end of the year."

Hearing him mention the marriage, Lin Xi's eyelashes moved slightly, and he raised his head to discuss: "Brother, can you get married later?" ”

Shen Kang frowned instantly, and said in a tense voice: "Why, the marriage has not been decided a long time ago, why is it late?" ”

Lin Xi didn't notice anything unusual, and said to himself: "Before, my family conditions were not good, and I only studied in high school for more than a year. Now that the conditions are better, I want to continue my education and get married after graduating from high school. ”

In her previous life, she had no academic qualifications and had always been a pain in her heart, but now that she has the opportunity to start over, she naturally can't miss it.

Besides, she knew that Shen Kang had gone to a military academy and university and was a very good person.

After a lifetime, Lin Xi knows that husband and wife are not just living with firewood, rice, oil and salt, she wants to have more topics and common language with him, and reach the same height as him.

"That's it? Nothing else? ”

Lin Xi shook his head: "It's gone." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Shen Kang say with some self-deprecation: "It's really going back the more you live." ”

Hearing that she wanted to get married later, she subconsciously thought that she didn't want to marry herself.

"Let me tell you Lin Xi, you are the person that my brother has a crush on, and if you kiss your brother, you can only be good with your brother. It doesn't matter how long you wait, but if you change your mind, I won't spare you. ”
