Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Because the two brothers Lin Xiao and Lin Bing came to pay Lin Chengcai New Year greetings, that night, Lin Rui and his two brothers also went to Lin Chengcai's house.

Zhang Simin compared the gifts Lin Xiao and the others brought with them.

Lin Zhe originally planned to mention two random things in the New Year gifts he brought back, but what he brought back were all good things, and he would not lose face at all.

Zhang Simin was afraid that the price of the things he brought was more expensive than what Lin Laoer's family brought, so she asked him what the price was. As soon as Lin Zhe mentioned the price, she felt distressed, "It's so expensive, I can't bear to give it to them. Take a look." The things they brought were all bought from small shops in the town, and they were not worth much in total, so why should I give them such expensive things?"

Look at this wine, you can tell from the packaging that it is not cheap, it is high-end!

And this American ginseng comes in a bright red gift box. How expensive is it?

It's not that Zhang Simin is stingy, she just doesn't want Lin Laoer's family to take advantage of her family.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely not be so stingy.

Lin Zhe: "Then take a look and see what you can bring."

He didn't want to get too close to his second uncle's family anyway, he just wanted to keep his face and not make people laugh.

Zhang Simin searched around, but finally did not mention what Lin Zhe had brought back. She found two or three items among the New Year gifts that Lin Xu and Lin Rui brought over. Lin Zhe was still thinking about adding a bag of dried seafood, and Zhang Simin also Unwilling, "Even if I give it to them, Lin Lihua won't eat it, and she might even dislike us for giving her two pieces of dead fish and dried fish."

Dried seafood is not cheap.

"She knows these few things, and they are good things in her eyes!" After speaking, she pursed her lips and said, "These are the things she is usually reluctant to buy."

The three Lin Rui brothers went there after dinner, so naturally they didn't need to eat. They sat at Lin Laoer's house for a while and then left.

Lin Xu chatted more with others throughout the whole process. Lin Zhe didn't want to talk about it. Lin Rui himself was a person of few words. If Lin Xu hadn't been talking to others, their stay would have been even shorter.

As soon as they left, Lin Lihua went to see the New Year's gift that had been brought. After reading it, she curled her lips and said, "Three brothers came here, and they didn't even say that each of them would buy you a cigarette. They just brought this thing. How could they be like rich people?" What happened! I see, it’s all lies that they say they are rich, they are just bragging!”

Lin Chengdong was smoking with a cigarette in his hand, and a cigarette between his ears. They were handed over to him by the three Lin Rui brothers just now. If he didn't smoke, he put the cigarette on his ears casually, "I guess the family is not prepared, eldest brother." He had a lung disease a few years ago and quit smoking."

Li Lihua put the New Year's gift in the back room and said when she came out: "There is a canteen at the entrance of the village. If you have the intention, you can get there in two steps. After all, I still don't have the intention."

"Why are you saying this now? It's not like you didn't know about the conflicts between the two families before. Now you can move around very well. Look, when we say soft words here, my brother immediately doesn't care. Lin Xu also arranged a job for me to look at construction sites, which is much more comfortable than working hard to pick jobs."

Li Lihua immediately sat over and said, "Did you tell me how much salary I will give you?"

Lin Chengdong took a long puff of cigarette. This cigarette was much better than the ones he bought and smoked himself. "I didn't ask."

"Why don't you ask?" Li Lihua was a little anxious, "What if I only give you 100 or [-] in January?"

Lin Chengdong glanced at her sideways, "Who am I? I'm his second uncle! Can he give me 100 or [-]? He can't even give me [-] or [-]. His uncle is Zhang Sicheng, who is also showing him the construction site. , we are all relatives, can the salary he offers me be lower than Zhang Sicheng?"

"That can't be it?"

"Absolutely not. If a bowl of water is really uneven, everyone will definitely gossip. Lin Xu is so nice..."

At home, Sun Hui was also talking about Lin Xu, "Who are you arranging work for? You are arranging it for your second uncle. Have you forgotten how his family wronged me?"

When she was at her husband's house, Sun Hui had been holding back and said nothing to save her face and not want to quarrel with him. Now when she got home, she couldn't help but start talking with raised eyebrows.

Lin Xu frowned, "It was Yang Mei and his parents who wronged you. What does it have to do with them?"

"Why don't you care about his business! Didn't you see that he was talking about what dad said about me? He was scolding and jumping around at home! He didn't have a gun in his hand. If he had a gun, he could kill me! "

Lin Xu came late that year and didn't see the details. "Didn't the misunderstanding be resolved later? It was Yangmei's father who did the evil. We are the younger generation, so don't worry too much about the old man. He came to the door with something and apologized again. Even if you say nice things, we can’t be unkind.”

"...I'm doing business now. If I want my business to go smoothly, I have to improve my interpersonal relationships. If outsiders hear that I don't even pay attention to my relatives, how will you make those who want to cooperate with me think of me? You It’s not like I don’t know that we hire houses and build projects because of our interpersonal relationships. Sometimes if you say the wrong thing, you can make a lot less money. It’s not worth it for such a small thing.”

After hearing Lin Xu's reasoning, Sun Hui didn't know what to say. In her mind, her man knew more and was capable. The only bad thing was that he loved to play cards. As for his temper, it wasn't very good in those few years. When his son was born, he didn't dare to show her a blushing face casually.

"I don't understand you either. It's up to you to decide. We have to recruit people anyway, and no matter who we recruit, we don't recruit... The only thing is, don't do anything special for him, and don't let his family members take advantage of us!"

"You know, do you know that your man and I are so easy for others to take advantage of?"

It's really not.

……

The second day.

Zhang Simin watched the car drive away, then turned around and entered the house.

Lin Chengcai came out of the bathroom coughing, "The boss and the youngest are all gone?"

Zhang Simin took off his sleeves and patted the dust off his body: "It's just the two of us today. Let's see what we want to eat for lunch."

"Just eat whatever you want." Lin Chengcai didn't choose.

"Then let's eat noodles. There's still half a pot of chicken soup left in the pot."

"Put in more vegetables." I've been eating meat every day for the past two days, and it's hard to go to the toilet.

Zhang Simin nodded. It was still early, not even ten o'clock yet. There was nothing to do at home, so he could only sit down and stare at Lin Chengcai.

Lin Ru married her daughter and became her "natal family" who had to return to her second year of junior high school. Naturally, she couldn't come to Lin's house on this day, and the old couple felt a little deserted.

Lin Chengcai asked her again after a while, "Xiao Ru, did you tell me whether you would be back on the first day of the week?"

"On the third day of the lunar new year, I will come with Xiaoya and the others tomorrow morning to wish us a happy new year."

Lin Chengcai nodded with a smile, "That's good, I haven't met Xiaoya's daughter yet."

Zhao Ya gave birth to a child, and the Lin family has grown up. Lin Chengcai and Zhang Simin are already great-grandfather and grandmother.

Mentioning Zhao Ya's child, Zhang Simin couldn't stop the smile on her face, "She must be good-looking and the name is good. When I told others, they all said that just by hearing the name, they knew she was a sweet girl."
