Chapter 5: I Earned It
"Our people, I'm so happy today......" Shen Lin hummed a song while cooking......
He was really happy!
Back in the day, none of the things that hurt him had happened. Now he is physically exhausted, but he is full of energy.
Such a long wild fish, if you don't put in a lot of effort to make it, it is simply a tyrannical thing.
Shen Lin took out a piece of lard from the kitchen, thinking that if the fish was not rotten, he would fry the fish in a hot pan and cold oil; Boiled water needs to be added to the stewed soup, so that the stewed fish will be tender and fat, and the soup will be white and fragrant.
It's worth it!
Scooping up a spoonful of fish soup from the pot with a spoon, just taking a small sip, the freshness rippled in his stomach, and Shen Lin's face showed a satisfied smile!
It smells so good!
"Shen Lin, you ...... How can you do that! ”
Lu Xiaorong looked at the man in front of him with a face full of intoxication in front of a pot of fish soup, and his heart became more and more disgusted, and his aggrieved emotions finally broke out. is a woman's family, and he went out to borrow money, and this man is good, hiding at home and stealing food.
It is said that men are reliable, and pigs can climb trees. She now feels that the man in front of her is not even as good as a pig.
Although she already had a plan in her heart, the scene in front of her still made it difficult for her to let go.
Shen Lin subconsciously turned his head, looked at the angry Lu Xiaorong, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, the great leader taught us that people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Look, I bought a fish, let's drink fish soup today! ”
"You buy fish? Where did you get the money to buy fish! Lu Xiaorong finally couldn't hold it back: "Even if you borrow money from your father, do you ...... You've got to pay the rent first, right? You...... Your father's current salary is not enough for medicine, how can you be embarrassed to borrow his money to eat fish! ”
Lu Xiaorong was so angry that he was incoherent.
Originally, she felt that she and Shen Lin were already strangers, but now, seeing him like this, Lu Xiaorong was still angry. The grievances she suffered that day, the situation at home, everything, she couldn't bear it.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, listen to me, I earned this money!" Shen Lin looked at the excited Lu Xiaorong, and hurriedly put down the spoon in his hand and walked over.
At this moment, years of guilt made him want to take this person he didn't cherish in his previous life into his arms, but before he could stretch out his hand, he was pushed away by Lu Xiaorong with a disgusted face.
"You earned it, how did you earn it?" Lu Xiaorong was so angry that he trembled: "Whose house did you steal, hurry up and return it to others!" ”
"If you wait until the stolen person comes to you, it's too late! You're not afraid of being embarrassed, I still want to be embarrassed! ”
After speaking, Lu Xiaorong grabbed Shen Lin's arm and prepared to go out.
It seems that Lu Xiaorong is indifferent to himself on the surface, but he still cares about himself in his heart.
In their previous lives, although the two of them finally embarked on the road of divorce, their experience together still made Shen Lin feel that Lu Xiaorong cared about him.
And this kind of concern deepened the guilt that he had lingered for many years.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, listen to me." Shen Lin waved his hand and said, "I went to collect waste products and bought this fish with money." ”
Lu Xiaorong was stunned, and then said: "Shen Lin, if you want to lie, just find a credible reason, do you think you can deceive me with this?" ”
"Your mother won't believe it."
"If you don't give me back, I'll tell your mom about it, and she'll tell you the seriousness of the matter."
Seeing that Lu Xiaorong refused to believe himself, Shen Lin suddenly thought of the receipt given by the scrap station when he was selling scrap at the scrap station.
In addition to the red receipt used to receive the money, I handed over the slip of the triplet, and the light green one was still in my hand.
"Daughter-in-law, look, I have a scrapyard slip here." As he spoke, Shen Lin took out seven or eight slips from his pocket that had been soaked in sweat for most of them.
Lu Xiaorong looked at the somewhat blurred handwriting on the slip suspiciously, and didn't know whether to believe it or not for a while.
"I hereby receive three hundred and eighty-two pounds of old newspapers!"
"I hereby receive one hundred and ninety-seven pounds of scrap books!"
"I hereby receive ......"
The dates are all today, and it doesn't look like it's fake, but will Shen Lin really go to collect scrap? Lu Xiaorong refused to believe that this man who regarded his face as bigger than the sky could collect scrap!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a hurried knock on the door, and the voice of the landlord Aunt Chen floated over: "Lu Xiaorong, open the door." ”
Lu Xiaorong's face tensed suddenly. She smelled the fish soup in the house, and thought that she hadn't borrowed a penny until now, and only felt that her body was a little tight.
What to do?
Aunt Chen's rent has not been paid yet, but she is stewed with fish soup at home, how should she explain to Aunt Chen, and how should Aunt Chen think of herself.
Her heart was tight, her head was a little dazed, and just when she didn't know whether to open the door or not, Shen Lin had already opened the door.
"Oh, the fish soup!" After Aunt Chen entered the door, her face was a little tense.
Although Aunt Chen sympathized with Lu Xiaorong in her heart, she felt that it was not easy for this girl to be sincere, and she was a second-rate man, but she suffered from old sins.
A woman's family, borrowing money from around for rent, this kid is good, nesting at home and stealing his own mouth......
"Aunt Chen, I'm going to send you rent today, there is no one at home, I'm going to wait for the fish soup to be stewed, I'll send you some!"
Shen Lin looked at the old lady with a bad face, how could he not know what the old lady was thinking.
For this old lady with a good heart, Shen Lin respected it from the bottom of his heart. Although he is also very hungry for fish and meat, since people are here, he can't help but be polite.
What's more, he also has to borrow other people's flatbed trucks.
As he spoke, Shen Lin had already taken out the prepared five yuan from his pocket and said, "Aunt Chen, I'll give you a month's first, and I'll give you the rest in a few days." ”
Aunt Chen came over this time, and she didn't have much confidence in getting the money, but she never expected that this second-rate person would take the initiative to pay for the first time.
Could it be that the sun is coming out of the west? Aunt Chen was suspicious.
Is this still that bastard boy Shen Lin?
Just when she was stunned, Shen Lin had already come out of the kitchen with a porcelain basin. In the porcelain basin, there is not only boiled white fish soup, but also several pieces of fish meat like tofu.
The pungent aroma made Aunt Chen couldn't help but take a sip.
"This ...... How embarrassing is that? ”
Shen Lin said with a smile: "Aunt Chen, these days, you have been taking good care of our husband and wife, we all remember it in our hearts, that is, a bowl of fish soup, if you don't eat it, it means that we are outsiders." ”
"Let my uncle taste this fish soup too!"
Aunt Chen excused herself for a few words, and then took the fish soup handed by Shen Lin. Before leaving, Shen Lin said with a smile: "Auntie, I still want to use your flatbed truck in the past two days, so as not to delay your affairs, right?" ”
"That car has been sitting idle underneath, you can use it if you want." Aunt Chen held the fish soup and said with a smile.
As the door closed again, Lu Xiaorong came to her senses, she looked at the receipt in her hand, and said in disbelief: "You only collected a day's scrap, and you earned five yuan?" ”
