Long years (105)

On New Year's Eve this year, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master took their children back to town.

Celebrating the New Year in town this year.

The New Year atmosphere in the village is still very strong. Firecrackers can burst out anytime and anywhere.

This house has not been inhabited for a long time, but recently Yingzi has kept the fire burning, so it is still warm.

On New Year's Eve, we make dumplings. This is a meal for a family of four.

Qingning and Qingyuan rushed to eat the dumplings on the plate. They usually put coins in the dumplings, but this year Lin Yutong put a small, peanut-shaped silver dumpling inside.

Then the siblings scrambled away.

The two of them grabbed a large plate of dumplings, but no one could eat them.

Then the fourth master calmly picked up the one on the edge of the plate in front of him, and then calmly picked out the silver nugget with chopsticks and put it on the plate.

"Mom!" Qingyuan was furious, "Mom, you are partial."

Why am I biased?

"I must have secretly put it on the plate for my dad." I just favor my sister, but I also favor my dad. The one I love in the end is me.

Lin Yutong laughed, "What a silly boy!" She said, "You brought it out from the kitchen. I told you that one plate was for your father, and the other plate was shared between you and your sister. But you were understanding and gave it to your father.

That portion is less..."

"Aren't I afraid that I won't have enough to eat?" I'm not full.

Then the silly child saw her mother coming in with a big tray and seven or eight plates of various snacks.

His father coaxed him: "Tomorrow morning, ask your mother to give you a gold nugget..."

"Hmph..." It feels good to be pampered.

The Spring Festival Gala is a must-see.

Eating melon seeds, peeling peanuts, eating oranges and apples, sitting on the kang and smiling at the TV, it felt like all the fatigue of the year was gone.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I got up at around four o'clock. Then I went door to door to pay New Year greetings.

Qingning is so old, unless my family gives me lucky money, others will not give me any more.

Qingyuan, on the other hand, can get away with it for 1, 2, 3, 5 yuan.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master exchanged a wad of money for five yuan. As long as the children came to the door, no matter whose family they belonged to, they would be given money.

We are very close to each other, so I came with the adults, and I gave two for five yuan, and four for five yuan.

Then Qingyuan was surprised to find that many children had paid New Year's greetings to his family several times just to ask for the five yuan.

There is also the one who keeps pushing the child back if he doesn't come. He bows once to his mother and once to his father. Anyway, it's just an extra charge.

It quite refreshes people’s outlook on life.

Is it okay to teach your children to be so greedy for petty gains since childhood?

My family is eating here this year, and Yingzi came over early to help. In fact, it has been prepared long ago, just heat it up. Except for the soup, it needs to be made fresh.

After breakfast, everyone came.

The third child had two children, but He Xiaowan didn't come. Years ago, he called Tongtong and told her that the old man's family over there was celebrating the New Year, and his son and daughter-in-law were working overtime, so he asked her to take care of his grandson for a few days, so he couldn't go back.

Now the third child is really at ease.

The fourth master also asked the third son: "Are you saying you don't have a family?"

The third child said, "If I dare to remarry, my son will hate me to death."

So I would rather stay alone.

There's nothing anyone else can say.

The couple from the Lao Wu family came with Ma Xiaoting. Ma Xiaoting is also a god. Tongtong said that if she was not asked to come to the door, she would just sit on the doorstep and bask in the sun without entering.

The boss came with his two sons.

Qingfeng hasn't grown much in height, he is still less than 1.6 meters tall. He is thin and small.

I have gained a lot of experience after going out. When I come back, I mostly talk to Qingning about things outside.

"...The security guard is not good." Qingfeng said, "I went to deliver water just two months after I started working. It was hard to deliver water... I didn't do much work. A buddy who works with me said he was going there after the Spring Festival.

I heard that you can make a lot of money if you go to work in the capital, even on a construction site. Let's see if it works, I'll go with him."

Qingning felt bad, "Learn something. You can also learn to drive. If that doesn't work, just get a taxi...even if it's a contractor's car..." It's better than carrying bricks on the construction site, "Many farmers now

After working for a year, you won’t get any wages at the end. So, it’s easier to earn money in front of the door, at least no one dares to cheat us.”

Qingfeng disagreed: "How much money can you earn by working at the door? Look at Wu Da, how much salary does he get in a month?"

You see, the salary they get is low, so why don’t you include half a year’s salary without counting the bonus?

Many units consider that the salary is not high, and they add bonuses to the salary to avoid taxes.

I can't explain these things to him.

He thinks he understands things outside, but in fact, what does he understand? He understands nothing.

Can't tell.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "Then remember to call me when you go."

Qingfeng smiled shyly: "No... I don't have to go yet..." I have to go. What my parents meant was to live with my fourth uncle and ask him to help him find a job. In fact, he was asking for work.

What! You have to work and eat by yourself wherever you go, and you are looked down upon by others for nothing. Of course the second sister means well when she says this, and she does not dislike herself as a part-time worker. But please don’t bother others.

Qinghui glanced at Qingfeng and asked Qingning: "How much does a house in Beijing cost?"

This kid is awesome!

Qingning said: "Your dad didn't pay much. He bought it in installments. He took out a loan for thirty years... Now he has to pay more than a thousand dollars every month."

Qinghui's expression changed, "You borrowed it from the bank?"

"Yes." That's all she could say.

But she really didn't know whether it was a mortgage or a full purchase. She knew that this kid was keeping an eye on his father's property.

Qinghui frowned: "So my dad..." is unreliable.

The factory also has a lot of unpaid debts.

All of them are not big, but they always regard themselves as adults. They don’t understand anything, but they feel that they understand everything.

That's what they said.

Looking back, Qingning thought again, did she really understand everything? In fact, it was still the same. In the eyes of adults, she didn't understand anything.

There were only three people in the kitchen, Li Xian'er, Yingzi and Tongtong. Li Xian'er said: "There are five sisters-in-law, and now we are the only three left." Then he pointed outside, "The one at the door is a dead man."

Said Ma Xiaoting.

Then he asked Yingzi in a low voice: "Have you gone to your place?"

Yingzi shook his head: "No!"

Then he asked Tongtong: "What did I get for you?" You can't go empty-handed during the New Year. This has nothing to do with wealth or poverty, it's just etiquette.

Tongtong shook his head, and the couple came with their children and nothing else.

Li Xian'er said: "I won't give his children any lucky money."

During the Chinese New Year, I didn’t bring any gifts, and I didn’t even come to visit my brother and sister-in-law to pay New Year greetings. Let alone give New Year’s money to my children.

During the years when Zhao Aihua was here, he was very polite and courteous, but what about now?

My family doesn’t have any spare money to give to his family.

The abacus is really good.

Her voice was lowered: "Do you remember what happened when you gave birth to a child and got married?"

On the wedding day, his adoptive father disappeared and he was possessed by someone who was said to be his biological mother.

Lin Yutong said gloomily: "You want to wait for my mother to come to you again."

Deng Chunhua trembled. Lin Jiacheng had brought back the soul of the person in front of her. She no longer dared to say that there was nothing wrong with this matter.

Lin Jiacheng's face turned pale. He didn't know whether he was scared or angry.

I originally planned to give him a thousand yuan as alimony. Forget it now!

Give a shit!

Even if you throw it to a beggar, you won’t give it to him.

How could his heart be so evil, selfish, and always only thinking about what would be beneficial to him? It was for himself that he abandoned the child, but now it is for his own sake that he wants to take that child back.

Lin Yutong stood up and said, "Let's go. We can't stay here anymore..."

Yingzi was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he dragged him out while holding his second half in his arms.

Lin Yuqi either knew about it or heard the message inside, so he ran to find Lin Yukang and his wife next door.

The children here all got in the car. The fourth master started the car and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
