Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Chapter 5 Worried Parents



In the next few days, Shen Xiaojun took care of the children, got familiar with things at home and the crops in the fields, and waited for Lin Zhe to send money home.

What she didn't know was that the money Lin Zhe sent back was almost ten thousand less.

"Brother Lin, you are my brother! What's the relationship between us? I can wear a pair of trousers, and you know that I am 25 and 1 years old, and I don't even have a wife. It's not easy to talk now." One, they want a gift of [-] yuan, but if I choose one, how can I come up with [-] yuan! Isn’t this going to cost me my life? Brother, you are the only one who can save me, can I get a wife? , it’s up to you!”

In the construction site dormitory, Lin Zhe was so entangled that he almost let go.

He and Wang Xiaojun have been classmates since elementary school. They have known each other for more than ten years and have worked hard together. They have been brothers for many years. It would be shameful not to be friends, but when I think about what my wife said...

His mother-in-law had never spoken to him like that before. She hadn't sent money home for so long. She was afraid she was really angry and resented him.

She knew the amount of the money, so it would be easier to tell if she didn't know.

Gritting his teeth, no matter what, he put aside his face first, "Xiaojun, it's not that I won't help you, your sister-in-law gave birth to a son for me. You also know that my family's situation is not good, and I have been living there for decades. For the old house in front of you, your sister-in-law has even ordered the bricks at home, and has greeted the workers. She is just waiting for the money to go back and build the building. I really have no choice. If this house is not built well, I guess your sister-in-law will have to pay for it. I took the child back to live with my parents, I can’t afford to lose that person.”

Wang Xiaojun didn't expect Lin Zhe to refuse and was stunned.

These brothers asked a lot of questions, but they had never seen him refuse!If he didn't pay it back, I didn't see him urging me.Although there are more this time, it is too simple!If you don’t have ten thousand, five thousand will do!

"elder brother……"

Wang Xiaojun was still about to speak, but Lin Zhe raised his hand to interrupt him, "Xiaojun, we work outside, and the exhausting work only costs three to five hundred yuan a month. Ten thousand yuan is really not old and young. I thought that when I married your sister-in-law, it would be a penny." I don’t ask for a bride price! Can that girl be as beautiful as your sister-in-law? Think about it carefully and discuss with her to get a smaller amount. If the girl really likes you, she can’t see you in trouble. According to the market here, two or three thousand is enough. It’s already pretty good.”

When he couldn't borrow the money, Lin Zhe used roundabout tactics and persuaded people earnestly. After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether the person listened or not, he patted the person on the shoulder and hid.

After coming out, I wiped my face. It felt so damn uncomfortable to reject my brother. I’d better send the money back quickly!

Early in the morning, Shen Xiaojun packed up. Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was not shining brightly and there was nothing else to do, she decided to take the children back to her parents' home. She had not gone back to see her parents in the few days since she had been back.

Near nostalgia timid.

She hasn't seen them for two years. In her last life... they died in 13 years.

She still remembers her mother's pale face before she died, sighing and urging them to think more about the future.

It was her unfilial piety that caused them to die and still worry about her and her whole family.

The Shen family lives in the town. It was built on land bought in the town when the town was expanding in the [-]s. It has two floors and a small shop on the first floor. The Shen family lives with their son and daughter-in-law.

The three daughters are all married. The eldest daughter and her son-in-law have settled in the city. The second daughter and her husband are both teachers in primary schools in the town. The youngest daughter Shen Xiaojun is the worst married, having been married from the town to the countryside.

Because of this, the old couple of the Shen family were very angry. In order to stop them in the early years, they almost severed their relationship with Shen Xiaojun!

Even the wedding of the two people did not attend the wedding. Shen Xiaojun took Lin Zhe home, but was rejected every time. It was not until the child was born that the Shen family finally relented and let them into the house.

Lin Wei was very happy when she knew she was going to her grandma's house, and the smile on her little face never stopped. She had lived at her grandma's house for more than a year, and she didn't take her back until Shen Xiaojun came back to give birth.

"Mom, grandma must miss me."

"I know, I know, our Xiaowei is grandma's little cotton-padded jacket."

Along the way, the little speakers didn't stop.

Linjiawan, where the Lin family is located, is not far from the town. It takes about half an hour to walk. Shen Xiaojun walked slowly with her children, which took about 10 minutes.

The two daughters walked hand in hand without complaining at all.

The youngest son was fast asleep in the carrier on his back.

After entering the town, I walked forward and arrived at the door of Shen's house.

The door was open and there was no one in the canteen on the first floor. Lin Wei pulled Lin Yue and ran inside: "Grandma, grandpa, Weiwei is back!"

There was a sound of talking in the house, and Shen Xiaojun recognized her mother's voice. After a while, she saw her mother walking out of the house holding a child by one hand.

Shen Xiaojun was in a trance for a while.

"mom……"

Duan Xia responded and walked behind her to take the basket: "Hey! Look how good our Yaoyao is! He doesn't cry or make trouble, and his eyes are rolling."

The child on his back woke up at some point and kept quiet. He lay obediently in the carrier. When he saw Duan Xia hugging him, he grinned with a toothless smile.

Duan Xia glanced at Shen Xiaojun, "Why are you looking at me all the time? Breastfeed the child!"

Shen Xiaojun realized that she had been staring at her mother for a while without knowing it.

He didn't even know when Yaoyao was hugged and peed by Duan Xia.

Duan Xia glanced at her again, fearing that she would be stupid for giving birth to a child!

He was not smart to begin with, but now he is even more stupid!

Shen Xiaojun didn't know what her mother was complaining about her. If she knew, she would probably bury her head in the ground. She would be stupid. After half her life, she still had nothing, her life was in a mess, and she ended up getting divorced.

"Mom, where is my dad? And my sister-in-law, aren't they home?"

Duan Xia got candies from the counter for the two children, "Your father went to the old street to watch people playing cards. Your brother and sister-in-law took the children back to their parents' home. They won't be back until the afternoon."

When her daughter returned to her parents' home with the child, she must not deal with it casually at noon. Duan Xia asked people passing by to help bring a message to Shen Wende, Shen Xiaojun's father, asking him to cut a pound of meat and weigh a pound of tofu in the old street.

The Shen family's life is much better than that of the Lin family. They were famous in the town as a million-dollar household a few years ago, let alone now.

Duan Xia has been a primary school teacher for 20 years and retired only two years ago.

Shen Wende was an accountant in the village before retiring. He only retired last year. A few years ago, he relied on his connections to get his son a job as a clerk in the town. His daughter-in-law also managed the canteen at home, and he made money every month. The days passed peacefully and beautifully.

Among the three daughters of the Shen family, except for Shen Xiaojun, the first two did not make much money for the family before they got married.

Among the Shen family, Shen Xiaojun was the least promising and lived the worst life.

If she had been obedient and not said too much, it would have been okay for her father to help him find a job in the town. Unfortunately, she was too rebellious back then and only wanted to marry Lin Zhe.

Shen Xiaojun chatted with her mother about daily life. After all, after so many years, she couldn't remember many things. Chatting with her mother could also help her understand the situation.

"... Your sister-in-law wants to buy a house in the county. She said that her sister's old house that was allocated by her previous work unit is for sale and the price is cheap. Your sister-in-law and your brother are both a little tempted. This time she went back to her parents' home because her sister came back from the county. ”

Shen Xiaojun burped the child and said, "The distance between going to the county and going to the city is not much different. If you go to the county to buy it, you might as well save some money and go to the city."

In her previous life, her brother bought that old house in the county. After 2000, housing prices in the city skyrocketed, and the county's development was limited. Housing prices have been tepid, and because it was an old house, it was difficult to sell it. Her brother My sister-in-law and I regretted it a lot.

Duan Xia: "Your father and I think so too, and have mentioned it, but your sister-in-law wants to buy her sister's house, so we can't say more. It's up to them."

Shen Xiaojun also knew her sister-in-law's character and thoughtfulness.If she talked too much, people would think they were afraid that she would help her sister take advantage of the Lin family.

After a while, Shen Wende came back with meat and tofu.

Shen Xiaojun stood up and called: "Dad."

She had been a little afraid of him since she was a child, and she felt ashamed when she saw him later. She rarely even spoke to him, fearing that she would be criticized when she spoke, accusing her and Lin Zhe of being parents and not caring about their children's growth, education, and starting a family. Nothing accomplished and so on.

Shen Wende said "hmm" and handed the meat to Duan Xia, "Don't we still have taro at home? Let's make taro steamed meat."

This is Shen Xiaojun’s favorite dish.

Shen Xiaojun's nose felt sore, "Thank you, dad, I love steamed taro meat."

Shen Wende glanced at her lightly, "Xiaowei likes to eat."

Lin Wei smiled and took her grandfather's hand, "The taro smells delicious!"

Shen Xiaojun was heartbroken, good girl, are you going to tear down your mother like this?

Xiaoyue lowered her head shyly, looking at her sister with envy from time to time.

Seeing this, Shen Xiaojun quickly pulled her over and said, "Xiaoyue, call me grandpa!"

Lin Yue lowered his head and whispered: "Grandpa."

Shen Wende smiled and took Lin Yue's hand, "Grandpa will take you upstairs to watch TV."

Lin Yue obediently stretched out her hand, holding her grandfather's hand and walking upstairs with her sister.

Shen Xiaojun held her little son in her arms and watched them go upstairs. Almost all her relatives in her previous life told her that Lin Yue didn't like to call people and was rude. How did she do it? She felt that the child didn't give her any face, and then she said the last two Sentences, put them aside...

Thinking about it now, the problem was with the child. It was clearly her incompetence as a mother.

The child has never seen much of the world since she was a child. She is already shy, and because her parents are often not around, she develops a character of low self-esteem. Even if she wants to express something, she doesn’t know how to say it. Against the background of other children in the family, More and more unpleasant.

Even Lin Wei was not as lively as she is now.

Shen Wende went downstairs soon, walked in, looked at the child in Shen Xiaojun's arms, sat down on a chair, and asked: "I heard from your mother that Lin Zhe made some money this year. What do you think? How do you plan to use it?" money."

Shen Xiaojun: "Let's settle the house matter first."

Shen Wende nodded: "If this money stays in your hands, I guess it won't last long. It's right to build a house. Where do you plan to build it? If you want to be closer to the town, I will find a way. It is best to build a house. Being on the side of the road will be convenient if you want to do business or something in the future."

"...Dad, I want to buy a house in the city."

Shen Wende also mentioned this in his previous life. At that time, Shen Xiaojun readily agreed. Unfortunately, the money was gone.

Shen Wende was stunned, "It seems that Lin Zhe has made some money this year..., but have you ever thought that living in the city requires money for everything, unlike in the countryside where you have land and can grow whatever you want?" The annual expenses will be much less, you have no job, Lin Zhe's income is not fixed, and you have three children to raise. If there is no income in any month, it will be difficult for the family to live in the city."

Shen Xiaojun pursed his lips: "I have also considered this, but I still want to buy it now while I have money. At the worst, I will live in the country for two years and wait until the children are older. Don't they also have to go to the county? Buy?"

Duan Xia, who was in the kitchen, came out after hearing this, "Are you also planning to buy a house in the city?"

Shen Xiaojun nodded, "I had this idea. I originally planned to wait until I went to the city to see it before I told you."

Shen Wende originally wanted to light a cigarette, but after looking at the child, he took it out and put it back: "After all, your brother has a job. He bought it. At most, he will stay there for two days during the holiday."

Shen Xiaojun lowered his head: "I have also thought about it. When the baby in my arms is older and my hands are free, I can also do some small business in the city, or find a job to work for others, and I can always support myself."

Duan Xia hurriedly said: "Didn't you listen to your sister? The wages in our city are very low. There is no job except serving dishes in restaurants! You are still scrambling to find it. We are not like the people in the south here. There are many private factories, the employment environment is limited, and you don’t have a diploma, so it’s very difficult to find a good job.”

The old couple are worried about their family's future life.

Shen Xiaojun knows their worries, but after all, she has lived 20 years longer than them. The current employment environment in the city is not good, and a few state-owned factories are still struggling, but in a few years, everything will slowly change. OK

Thinking of the skyrocketing housing prices in the future, Shen Xiaojun's heart jumped!

She has an idea that is unrealistic at the moment. If she had money, she would still want to go to Beijing and Pengcheng to buy some!No matter whether you can live there or not, being a housewife is fun!

Of course, it's too early to say this now, poor!

"I know, I still want to buy it in the city, not only for myself, but also for the sake of my children's future studies. You see how smart Xiaoru is, not much older than Xiaowei, and knows a lot more than Xiaowei. The people in this city Kindergarten is better than ours, let alone elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Now that we have this money, we should take the first step first, and then take it one step at a time. People can't suffocate to death. "

Xiaoru is the daughter of eldest sister Shen Xiaojun.

Shen Wende stopped talking. He knew that his little daughter had very strong ideas and she would not be able to change her decision, otherwise she would not listen to them and insist on marrying Lin Zhe.

Now that she's said it, there's nothing more to say, and it's not unreasonable.

"Dad, Mom, don't tell anyone about buying a house now. If you can't buy it later, you won't let others gossip." Shen Xiaojun reminded.

Duan Xia waved her hand: "We know. If you don't reveal your wealth, you should also take good care of Lin Zhe and don't let him use it randomly again."

In this case, Duan Xia and the old couple said a lot in their previous life. Unfortunately, Shen Xiaojun couldn't listen, so that when he wanted to take care of it later, he couldn't control it at all.

The wild horse is already out of the reins, so how can anyone put a rope on it?
