Chapter 180 Going South to Hai City

I took off my shoes and saw that there were blisters.

The little leather shoes that Lin Shuyi wore today were worn out.

Zhou Jianguo, "Then I'll carry you on my back, wife."

Lin Shuyi was happy. She asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Zhou Jianguo, "It's okay, I'll carry you."

Zhou Jianguo carried Lin Shuyi on his back and followed Salin, while Lin Shuyin walked behind them.

Zhang Hongmin couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Zhou Jianguo carrying Lin Shuyi on his back. She hissed and frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

She supported me well.

Zhou Jianguo, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Hongmin shook her head. Zhou Jianguo said, "Hold on a little longer, we'll be at the foot of the mountain soon."

Zhang Hongmin nodded aggrievedly.

Lin Shuyin sighed, what was happening now?

She complained to the system, "Do you think Zhou Jianguo particularly likes the feeling of being fought over by two women?"

This damn man!

Lin Shuyin had never thought about it that way before, but after watching them get along for a few days, she discovered that Zhang Hongmin seemed to like Zhou Jianguo.

The relationship between the two of them was very subtle and cautiously ambiguous, but Lin Shuyi was so stupid that she didn't notice it or something and didn't react at all.

Or maybe she didn't think about it that way, thinking that the other person was her sister and that kind of thing would never happen.

The original owner did the same in his previous life.

Then the house was robbed.

The big system was not there, so Lin Shuyin complained about 996 for a while.

Zhou Jianguo was tired after carrying Lin Shuyi for a while, so he put her down and said, "Wife, I'll help you walk."

When Zhang Hongmin saw Zhou Jianguo put Lin Shuyi down, she immediately started to cry out in pain, "Sister-in-law, go slower, my feet hurt."

Sarin frowned. What was in pain? She was supporting her and walking with her whole body resting on her, and her feet were not even touching the ground.

Zhang Hongmin sat down directly on the ground, "Sister-in-law, let's take a break. I really can't walk anymore."

Sarin, "We are almost at the foot of the mountain."

Zhang Hongmin: “But I can’t walk anymore.”

After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Jianguo. Lin Shuyi felt a little unhappy. What did this mean? She still wanted her husband to carry her.

Lin Shuyin said, "Let's go. We are already at the foot of the mountain. Let's go down to the hospital quickly. Don't dawdle any longer."

Lin Shuyin's words were not gentle at all. Zhang Hongmin felt very aggrieved. She sprained her ankle, and why was there no one to help her?

Zhou Jianguo softened his heart, and he discussed with Lin Shuyi in a low voice,

"Wife, I'd better carry Hongmin down first. I don't think she can move."

Lin Shuyi, "My second sister-in-law is holding her up. The stairs are too steep for you to climb."

"My feet are blistered, please help me walk."

Zhou Jianguo: "Okay."

Zhang Hongmin was angry. Didn't she just let Zhou Jianguo carry her on her back when the stairs were steep? Why couldn't he carry her?

At this moment, Zhang Hongmin was full of resentment towards Lin Shuyi, Lin Shuyin, Salen, and everyone in her aunt's family.

Zhou Jianguo couldn't carry him, so he had to be supported by Lin Shuyin and Salenjie to come down. Finally they reached the foot of the mountain. Salenjie was really annoyed with her husband's cousin.

You sprained your ankle and it hurts, I understand, but you don't have to cry all the way, what's wrong with her?

We sent Zhang Hongmin to the hospital, where she saw a doctor and had her foot bandaged. It turned out that it was a sprain but it didn't look like a fracture, so she didn't need to be hospitalized and could just go home and rest.

A few of them returned to the hotel. They had originally planned to go back tomorrow, but now that they have sprained their ankle, they will have to delay their return for a few days.

Lin Shuyin didn't care what happened, she was going to Hai City. Lin Shuyi and Zhou Jianguo were also discussing this issue with Zhang Hongmin.

Lin Shuyi said, "Hongmin, why don't we go home and recuperate? It's not convenient for you to eat and live in this hotel. Your foot will take at least a month to heal."

Zhang Hongmin felt so aggrieved. Why couldn't she just rest for a few days after spraining her ankle? Why was her cousin in such a hurry to go back?

"But my feet..."

Lin Shuyi, "It is precisely because of your foot that we have to go back. Can you recover here? Let's go back home and recuperate."

Zhou Jianguo, "Yes, Hongmin, it's inconvenient for us to live here. Don't worry, your brother-in-law will pay you your salary for this month of rest."

What else could Zhang Hongmin say? Her brother-in-law was going back, so she had no choice but to go back. The next afternoon, Lin Shuyin, Shen Guannan, Salen and Lin Jianshe sent them to the train station.

Lin Shuyi and Zhou Jianguo said, "Second sister, second brother-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, please come back to Sichuan when you have time. We will host you then..."

"Okay, okay, let's see if it's busy during the Chinese New Year. If not, we'll go back."

Zhang Hongmin didn't want to pay attention to them and didn't say anything. She was angry.

Lin Shuyi, Zhou Jianguo and Zhang Hongmin went back.

Shen Guannan has taken a ten-day leave, so Lin Shuyin and the other two will also set off for Hai City tomorrow.

Lin Shuyin told Sarin about this matter, "Please help me check Sarin's store. We will be back around the 17th or 18th, so we won't stay for too long."

Sarin nodded, "No problem, you guys go. Our family of three can't go this year, so let's see next year."

Lin Shuyin, "You can go during the winter vacation and visit the Ice City in Shenyang. There is a sea in Liaoning Province. You can go and see the sea."

Lin Jianshe said, "Sister, I have never seen the sea in my life. I will talk to my leader and ask him to give me a few days off when he is free."

He had seen the prairie and the thick white snow, and now he just wanted to see the sea.

Sarin, "You can only tell me during the winter and summer vacations, otherwise Nan Ding is in school and won't be available."

Lin Jianshe, "He's in school, let's go together."

Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan said, "..."

Nandin: You are such a good father to me!

Sarin thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, brother-in-law. You can help us look after Nan Ding when the time comes."

Lin Shuyin: "Okay, I'll definitely help you when the time comes."

These two people.

After returning home, Salin and Lin Jianshe talked about traveling. Salin had told Nanding before that he wanted to go to Hai City, but because of the arrival of his aunt's family, he was unable to go, and Nanding was very regretful.

When he heard that his second aunt and second uncle's cousin were going, he immediately begged Sarin, "Mom, I want to go too, can you let my second aunt take me with you?"

"I promise not to cause any trouble and be a good boy on the way."

Sarin said, "Your father and I are not going. Only your second aunt and her family will go."

Nan Ding, "I know. I want to follow my second aunt and uncle."

Sarin, "Dead child."

Nandin, "I am a living child!"

"Mom, go talk to my second aunt. You guys had promised me that I would go, and I had already told my classmates about it, but because my youngest aunt is here, you guys won't go."

Sarin, "How are you going if your father can't take leave?"

Nan Ding, "I know, so I won't go with you. I'll go with my second aunt and the others."

There's nothing we can do. It's getting too serious.

Sarin came over and talked to Lin Shuyin. Lin Shuyin,

"No problem. Pack Nan Ding's clothes and we'll leave this afternoon."

Nan Ding is in primary school now and she is not a child anymore, so she is easy to take care of.

Sarin was embarrassed, "Sorry to bother you, Shuyin."

Lin Shuyin waved her hands, "It's okay, Nan Ding isn't a child anymore. I'll take your son out to play, and you can help me watch the store and keep an eye on the decoration of the clothing store."

The clothing store is almost finished with renovation.

Sarin, "No problem, don't worry about that."

"Well, go pack Nandin's clothes and bring them over."

"Right away."

After Sarin left, Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan began to pack their luggage. They bought a suitcase, the kind with leather handles. One suitcase was enough for the clothes of a family of three, and they also packed their toiletries in a small package.

Qian Xianghong was right. Their family was so well off, why didn't they buy a camera? So Lin Shuyin bought a camera when she planned to go to Hai City to take pictures.

"Guan Nan, when we retire, we will travel around the country, and then we will go abroad."

Shen Guannan smiled, "Okay, daughter-in-law, I want to look around too."

Nan Ding was so happy that he packed his luggage and ran over immediately. On the way, Sarin muttered to him, "Why don't you wait for your father to come back and tell him?"

Nan Ding, "What's wrong? I'm going to Hai City with my aunt. I'm not giving up being his son."

"Don't miss me too much. I will bring gifts for both of you."

Sarin, "This damn kid."

The two of them came to Lin Shuyin's place, and Sarin gave Lin Shuyin 500 yuan. Lin Shuyin said, "Since you have so much money, 100 yuan should be enough."

Sarin, "You take it, buy whatever Nandin wants, and if there's any left, bring me some good stuff from Haishi, cosmetics, etc."

Lin Shuyin: "Okay."

In the afternoon, the four of them boarded the train to Hai City.

This was the first time I felt excited while taking a train. In the past, I always took a train to go back to my parents’ home or my husband’s home. After a day and a night, the four of us arrived in Haishi.

Lin Shuyin has planned everything in her little notebook. This trip to Hai City will last for four days in total. She will first have some Western food and then visit tourist attractions such as Wukang Building, the Bund, and the City God Temple.

The Pearl Tower has not been built yet.

Then try the local specialties, such as crab roe buns, pork ribs and rice cakes, and have dinner at the Peace Hotel.

The Shanghai market in the 1980s should be very different from that of later generations, but there are several Western restaurants and coffee shops that have existed for a long time.

Although it is different from later generations, the geographical location is basically the same, and that kind of old shop is easy to find, so after getting off the train, Lin Shuyin took the three of them to the hotel to put their luggage. They originally planned to rest for a while, but Si Yunan and Ding seemed to have a bug in their butts and could not sit still for even a minute.

"Mom, aren't you going to take us to eat Western food? Let's go."

"Yes, Auntie, we can't wait."

Lin Shuyin, "It's not like you haven't eaten Western food before."

I go to Lao Mo's restaurant several times a month.

Siyu, "Mom, that's Russian food and we're tired of it."

Lin Shuyin transformed into an old person, "You guys are tired of such delicious food. When your dad and I were kids, we couldn't even get enough to eat. Kids nowadays are really..."

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

Si Yu heard this and said, "Then when I grow up, mom will take you and dad to eat delicious food every day, buy mom a lot of beautiful clothes, and buy dad good wine."

"Then I'll take you on a trip, okay?"

Oh my god, this adopted daughter is so thoughtful. These words made Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan's mother and father feel warm in their hearts.

"Aunt and uncle, I'll take you guys to eat delicious food too." Nan Ding also raised his hand immediately to express his opinion.

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Okay, let's go."

When I checked in, I asked the hotel reception about the location of the western restaurant. Since Lin Shuyin had been there before, I quickly found an old western restaurant.

A few people sat down and ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes, including pork chop, assorted salad, creamy Portuguese chicken, baked snails, appetizers, pasta, steak, etc.

Since opening a clothing store, Lin Shuyin has started to think like a businessman. She looked at the people in the store and said to Shen Guannan, "I want to open a Western restaurant one day."

Shen Guannan, "If you open a Western restaurant, you have to hire a Western chef."

Their Beijing city is not as well developed as Shanghai. There are not many Western restaurants and few chefs who can cook Western food.

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Of course, but don't worry, I'll open the clothing store first and then take them one by one."

Shen Guannan, "Well, take your time."

The ordered dishes came out quickly.

Nan Ding looked at the table full of dishes and said to Lin Shuyin, "Second Aunt, when school starts in September, I told my classmates that I went on a trip to Hai City and had Western food!"

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Okay, go ahead."

Siyu, "Nan Ding, you are too naive."

Nan Ding, "That's not childish at all. I want to share my summer vacation experience with my classmates."

Shen Guannan took a bite of fried pork chop, and Lin Shuyin asked him,

“Is it delicious?”

Shen Guannan nodded, "It's delicious."

Lin Shuyin also took a bite, and she almost said,

"It still tastes the same as in my memory." He swallowed the words back into his throat.

After eating and drinking, the four of them went back to the hotel to rest and sleep, and then started strolling the next day.

Zhou Jianguo, Lin Shuyi, and Zhang Hongmin also arrived in Sichuan Province. The couple first sent Zhang Hongmin back home to let her recuperate and they would come to visit her another day.

Zhang's mother said to her daughter, "Why are you so careless?"

Zhang Hongmin felt so wronged. She sprained her ankle, but no one cared. Everyone just blamed her. She said,

"I didn't mean it."

Who wants to sprain their ankle? It hurts a lot.

Zhang's mother said, "You need to rest for a month before you can go back to work, right?"

Zhang Hongmin: "My brother-in-law said that I will be paid for the month I am on leave."

Zhang's mother didn't say anything after hearing this.

It’s not that no one cares about her, there are still people who care about her.

On the third day, Zhou Jianguo came to see her.

Zhang's father and mother were not at home either. They were taking their grandchildren for a walk, so Zhang Hongmin was the only one at home.

Zhang Hongmin was very surprised, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Zhou Jianguo put the nutritional supplements on the table.

"I see you're here. The pillar of my factory is injured, so as your boss I have to come over to say hello and show my concern."

Zhang Hongmin turned her head away and whispered, "I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days."

Zhou Jianguo took out a jewelry box from his pocket and said, "Here you go."

Zhang Hongmin answered, "What?"

Zhou Jianguo, "You will know if you open it and take a look."

Zhang Hongmin opened it and found a gold ring inside. She was surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, buy me a gold ring!"

Zhou Jianguo nodded. "You have been working in our factory for a year. You have worked hard every day. This is a reward for you."

Zhang Hongmin was immediately delighted. She smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Zhou Jianguo waved his hand, "No, don't tell your sister about this."

Zhang Hongmin understood, and Zhou Jianguo stood up, "Then I'm leaving, you take good care of yourself."

"Brother-in-law, I'll take you there."
