Chapter 306 Extra 22

At the end of August, Wang Shan personally sent her daughter to the other side of the ocean.

Due to the nature of his work, Yan Shen cannot easily leave his homeland, so he can only send Xiaoyue to the airport with his parents on both sides.

After Xiaoyueliang left, Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren started making plans to return to their hometown.

When I was young, I always wanted to leave that remote and backward little place forever, but as I grew older, I gradually understood the meaning of returning to one's roots.

Yan's father and mother also decided to go to Hunan Province with their in-laws. Now that their granddaughter was studying abroad and their son and daughter-in-law were very busy with work, there was no point in the two of them staying in Shenzhen. They might as well go with their in-laws so that they could take care of each other and save their son and daughter-in-law from worrying.

After returning to their hometown, Lin Qiu and Yan's mother checked the flower beds and vegetable gardens first.

The vegetable fields are lush and green, with abundant fruits and vegetables, and the flower beds are full of branches and leaves and clusters of flowers. You can tell at a glance that they are well taken care of.

After Wang Xiuren and Yan's father helped to clean the house, they couldn't wait to take their fishing rods and buckets and go fishing by the river.

Father Yan sat under a willow tree wearing a sun hat, looking at the sparkling river and the green rice fields in the distance, and couldn't help but say: "The countryside is full of joy."

On the National Day, the four old people gathered in the living room again to watch the live broadcast of the military parade.

"Our country is so great!" Wang Xiuren exclaimed, "Looking at the spirit and energy of our soldiers, we know that our country is getting better and better!"

Father Yan touched his chest and said, "Every time I see a scene like this, I feel very moved! It is really not easy for our country to be where it is today."

"It's not easy. When I heard the slogans they shouted, tears were about to flow." Yan's mother pressed the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

"This scene is really grand!" Lin Qiu also echoed.

…

The four old men continued discussing until the end of the military parade, and even talked while eating at noon.

After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, the four of them didn’t go out for a walk, but sat on the sofa to watch the replay.

Looking at the pile of snacks and fruits on the coffee table, Lin Qiu suddenly said, "I feel like my life now is like a dream."

She pointed at the coffee table and said, "I still remember that when I was a kid, I was very greedy and wanted to eat everything. Now, even though food is piled up on the table, I rarely pick up any of it."

"But there weren't so many delicious foods back then. It was good enough to have a meal to eat." Wang Xiuren also recalled the past.

Yan's father and mother nodded in agreement.

"Life is so good now." Yan's mother said with emotion, "In the past, we never dared to think that we could live such a good life."

Their generation has experienced a lot of hardships. At that time, the country was not as developed as it is now, and every household was not rich. In addition, there were many children, so it was very difficult to have enough food and clothing.

No one expected that we could go from the era of poverty and hunger to today where the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

"That's right." Father Yan said, "So, we should cherish our current life even more."

The four of them smiled at each other and continued watching the replay. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, shining on the osmanthus tree in the yard, making it golden, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. Such an afternoon is so beautiful and peaceful. ”

It was the beginning of November, which was the golden September.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the autumn is refreshing.

Wang Xiuren took Yan's father and mother to the village entrance to watch the new harvester harvest rice. Lin Qiu felt the sun was too glaring, so he simply stayed at home to take a rest.

She was dozing off on the sofa when she heard someone knocking on the gate.

She rubbed her eyes and slowly walked out to open the door.

When I opened the gate, I found out it was Lin Cong.

Lin Qiu was a little surprised. It wasn't a festival nor a holiday, so why would Lin Cong come?

And there was no call to notify in advance.

"Aunt." Lin Cong called out.

"Hey, Congcong is here, come in quickly!"

Lin Qiu invited his nephew into the house.

It was not until he sat in the living room that Lin Qiu realized that Lin Cong's face did not look good.

His thick brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he still showed anxiety.

"Congcong, what's wrong with you? You look so bad." Lin Qiu asked with concern.

"It's okay. I didn't sleep well last night because of Yangyang's disturbance." Lin Cong replied.

"Why are you the one leading Yangyang now?" Lin Qiu was a little puzzled.

Lin Cong and his wife both transferred from the military to the system. They are not yet of retirement age, so their grandson has been raised by their son and daughter-in-law. They give the young couple a living allowance of 3,000 yuan every month.

Lin Cong shook his head, looking like he didn't want to say more, and then abruptly changed the subject: "Aunt, I want to borrow some money from you."

Borrow money?

Lin Qiu had more doubts in his mind.

According to the inheritance that Lin Hui gave him, as well as Lin Cong and his wife's own income, they normally wouldn't need to ask anyone for money.

She stood up and sat next to Lin Cong, looking at her spiritless nephew, and asked softly, "Why do you suddenly want to borrow money?"

Lin Cong sighed deeply, "Lin Ye and Jiang Yun are getting a divorce."

Lin Qiu was shocked and grabbed Lin Cong's hand, "What happened? Why are you getting divorced? Weren't you still affectionate when you came to Pengcheng on May Day?"

Lin Cong sighed again, "Lin Ye received a call asking for payment a few days ago, saying that Jiang Yun had borrowed a lot of money from outside."

"Ah? Doesn't Lin Ye have all her salary cards? You guys also give them living expenses every month, so why do you still have to borrow money from outside?"

"It's our fault for being careless. We thought she was at home taking care of the child, but who knew she left the child to her mother and spent the whole day playing cards in the card hall. To be precise, it's not playing cards, it's gambling!" Lin Cong hated this matter.

"This child looks very well-behaved and sensible, how could he become like this?"

"Who said it wasn't? In the past two days, debt collection calls have been made to me and Lin Ye's mother." Lin Cong rubbed his forehead involuntarily, "What do you think is going on?"

After hearing this, Lin Qiu frowned and couldn't help but feel sorry for his nephew.

This happy family was ruined because of gambling.

Moreover, gambling, like drugs, is difficult to quit. If not dealt with in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"How much money do you owe now?" Lin Qiu asked with a worried look on his face.

"I'm not sure about the exact amount yet. Lin Ye didn't tell me, but I estimate it's not a small amount." Lin Cong shook his head helplessly.

Lin Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "What does Lin Ye think?"

"He insisted on getting a divorce and sent Yangyang to me." Lin Cong felt that his daughter-in-law probably had more than just a gambling debt, otherwise his son would not have been so determined.

Lin Qiu patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Then you can help him take care of Yangyang, and let Lin Ye handle the rest. When the time comes, just call me directly to find out how much money you need."

"Thank you, aunt!" Lin Cong stood up. "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. Also, please don't tell my parents about this. They are old, and I'm afraid they can't bear this shock."

"Okay, you should take care of yourself too!"

After seeing Lin Cong off, Lin Qiu felt heavy-hearted.

She secretly made up her mind to pay more attention to the lives of young people and not let them go astray. At the same time, she also hopes that Jiang Yun can realize his mistakes and return to normal life as soon as possible.
