Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Xiaowei has always been worried about something, even on the day she sent her father off to Pengcheng, she was absent-minded.

I tossed and turned in bed for a while before I could fall asleep at night.

She was afraid that Lin Lan would really run away from home.

I became even more worried after reading a news article about child abduction.

What if Lin Lan really ran away from home and was abducted on the road?

She didn't dare to tell the adults. If her second uncle found out, Lin Lan would definitely be beaten again.

I worried about her for several days and called my hometown every day. I said I missed my grandparents, but in fact I was asking how Lin Lan was doing.

After reading the news, she asked her grandmother to send a message to Lin Lan, saying that she had something to tell her.

Two more days passed before she got on the phone with Lin Lan and asked her on the phone, "Do you still want to run away from home?"

He put his mouth close to the microphone and asked in a low voice, his eyes constantly looking outside for fear of being overheard by adults.

Lin Lan: "I have no money, so I can't leave."

Xiaowei said anxiously: "Don't leave!" She quickly told her about the abduction news she saw on TV.

"It's too dangerous! If you are caught by a kidnapper, you will be sold into the mountains, and they will beat you and deny you food! You will sleep in a pig pen and eat pig food. When you grow up, you will be asked to give birth to their children, and they will also beat you. Take me to a big city to beg with my hands and feet broken...it's very dangerous out there!"

Lin Lan was shocked, "I won't leave, even if I have money."

She didn't dare to really run away from home, but the thought would pop up every time she was wronged or beaten, and she might really leave one day.

She also thought about where she would go if she left home?

There used to be a bandit's den on Jiguan Mountain, and the house has been torn down, but when she used to play with her friends in the village, she built a small house there with branches, and she could live there.

The mountain is so high, and there are wild prickly pears and cold rice seeds on the mountain, which she can still eat.

Or go to the city. Her mother said that if her grades continue to fail, she will be asked to go to a city restaurant to wash dishes for people to earn money. Then she will wash dishes and she will definitely make money.

But after listening to Xiaowei's words, she didn't dare to run away from home. What if someone really caught her and sold her?

What if her hands and feet are broken?

Lin Lan was shocked!

"If I don't leave, you must not tell the adults. If you do, you will be a puppy."

Xiaowei answered yes.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaowei finally felt relieved and breathed a big sigh of relief.

At dinner in the evening, Duan Xia saw Xiaowei going to add more food and said, "Xiaowei's appetite has improved today. Are you not worried anymore?"

Xiaowei paused while scooping up rice and rolled her eyes, "Grandma, what did you say? I'm not worried?"

Shen Xiaojun glanced at her, "I thought you were worried about the result of the competition, but it seems not!"

Xiaowei sat down with the bowl in hand and showed a flattering smile, "No, no, nothing happened." After saying that, she picked up a piece of fried beef with celery and stuffed it into her mouth, and buried herself in the rice.

The adults are so terrible!They knew she was worried, but she didn't say anything!

The results of the calligraphy and painting competition came out a few days before Xiaowei's birthday, and she won the third prize in the painting category.

Shen Wende was even happier than Xiao Wei who had won the award. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to treat the guests and hold a celebration banquet for Xiao Wei.

Duan Xia and Shen Xiaojun murmured, "Your dad loves painting, but it's a pity that he didn't have the conditions before. What he envies most are those award-winning and famous painters. Xiaowei likes painting, and he has always felt that this was inherited from him. Talent, look at it, it makes him happy, and those who don’t know think he has won the prize!”

Shen Xiaojun was also happy, thought for a while and said: "Well, Xiaowei's birthday is only a few days away, so we might as well do it together, don't make it a big thing, because if it is a big thing, people will think that we are looking for names to receive gifts. Just invite our Shen Lin family and Xiao Wei’s good classmates to have a meal together and have a good time."

Shen Wende thought for a moment and nodded, "That's okay, then I'll pay for it, so don't you guys try to compete with me! I still have a few old classmates and friends in the city, so I'll invite them here too this time."

Duan Xia whispered to Shen Xiaojun again, "You saw it, looking for a chance to show off!"

Shen Xiaojun snickered.

If you want to invite someone to dinner, you always have to call to inform them, so the Lin family and Shen Xiaojun, the parent of Xiaowei's classmate, called. The Shen family didn't need Shen Xiaojun. Shen Wende called them one by one and told them to come.

On the first day of Xiao Wei's tenth birthday, Shen Xiaojun specially came to decorate the scene. There were many pink balloons hanging in the small banquet hall, and there were banners on the wall wishing Xiao Wei a happy tenth birthday and wishing her an award.

On that day, Lin and Chen's family, plus a few old friends called by Shen Wende, a few of Xiaowei's classmates, Xiao Zhou and several store managers from several stores, sat at a total of six tables.

The only regret is that Lin Zhe can't come back. He is in a critical moment these days. Yesterday, he and Xiaowei chatted on the phone for a long time, making Xiaowei smile. She didn't know what Xu had gone out to.

Shen Xiaojun also contacted Li Shufen, and she came with Mengmeng.

Although they both moved from Tianshui Lane, their children were studying in the Children's Palace, so they met often, and they did not stop contacting each other just because they moved away.

The Lin family couple came together with Lin Xu's family.

The old couple gave Xiaowei 100 yuan and asked her to buy whatever she wanted.

As soon as Sun Hui arrived, she looked for Yuan Fenfang and asked her if she had given her any gift money.

"Xiaojun said, it's just a dinner for Xiaowei's birthday, a lively celebration together. It's not a formal banquet, and no gift money will be accepted."

There was no gift money, but she gave Xiaowei a set of clothes, and Lin Ru bought a set of paints, which were not cheap.

Almost everyone who came brought gifts, which were piled on the table in the corner.

She originally wanted to remind her, but when the words came to her lips, she thought about it and let it go. She should have been aware of these things in her heart. She would be embarrassed to come to eat with empty hands, right?

Besides, she didn't believe that Sun Hui couldn't see where so many things were piled up.

Sun Hui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Yuan Fenfang said. She sat down, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and ate them. Her eyes wandered around, "Are those elderly people from the Shen family? Why haven't I seen them before? ?”

Yuan Fenfang could not help but curl her lips when she saw that she was sitting at ease, "She said she is Uncle Shen's old friend."

"I thought we just invited our two families, why did we invite outsiders?" A child celebrated his birthday and won an award. It was quite grand.

Yuan Fenfang: "There are also Xiaowei's classmates, their parents and the manager of the store. Besides, Uncle Shen spent money to host this banquet. He can invite whoever he wants without us spending any money."

What was left unsaid was: Why do you care so much?

Sun Hui pursed her lips, "I'll just tell you."

Shen Wen took Xiaowei's hand and asked her to recognize him, calling him "grandpa" and "grandpa" in a circle.

Xiaowei's face turned red, mainly because these grandpas love to praise people so much!

She was so envious of Shen Xiaolian that she couldn't help but be bitter about Shen Xiaojun, "Take good care of her and don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days, otherwise your best talent will be useless, does Zhongyong know that?"

Shen Xiaojun glanced at her sideways and retorted: "Our main focus is a hobby. If she wants to learn, she can learn. If she doesn't want to learn, just put it aside. We don't rely on this to make a living."

Of course, this is said deliberately. Their family is not short of money. The three siblings will live very richly in the future without doing anything but collecting rent. However, they still need to have skills that should be cultivated. If you push, you must push. When you grow up, you can feed yourself, which is your real ability.

Shen Xiaolian glanced at her with her peripheral vision: "Ha!"

Shen Xiaojun swept back: "Humph!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed her to stagger, "You just want to make me angry on purpose!"
