Chapter 422 Are these words a compliment?
How could a grandmother not be happy when her grandson is so successful? Li Xiuli looked very proud at this moment.
"He figured it out on his own, didn't he? Tangtang said Zhixuan (Stinky Egg) had a talent for drawing, so she bought him a book and let him draw whatever he wanted. Who knew it would turn out to be true?"
Lin Zhicheng, also known as Goudan, supported his younger brother, "Zhixuan is amazing. The paintings he drew for my dad, my mom, and me are all beautiful."
This is an exaggeration.
No matter how talented a child is, if he has never learned seriously, he will not say that his drawings are very good.
But who can blame Goudan for being a brother-con?
The paintings drawn by my younger brother are definitely the most beautiful!
Guan Aiju felt sour after hearing what Goudan said.
Thinking of his grandson playing in the mud in his yard, he casually said hello and went home to educate his grandson.
How can you continue to have fun at this age?!
The women in the village would visit each other when they had nothing to do, very casually, and the Lin family didn't care.
Li Xiuli encouraged the four children with a few words and prepared to go to the backyard with a winnowing basket.
Zhou Mei was overwhelmed by the needle and thread in her hands.
After poking her finger again, she looked up and said resentfully, "Mom, how about I go and help you?"
Li Xiuli stopped and asked, "When will your clothes be made? Can they be finished before noon tomorrow?"
Zhou Mei glanced at her mother-in-law's face and mustered up her courage. "Isn't there a sewing machine in my sister-in-law's room? I'll ask her to help me when she comes back in the evening..."
Before she could finish the word "do", she saw her mother-in-law glaring at her fiercely.
"Does your sister-in-law owe you something or something?"
"Working in the garment factory is tough. Xinrou has been getting get off work done every day these days, and you've been assigning her tasks when she gets home. Why don't you just go to heaven?"
"Do your own thing, it's your own nephew's full moon, not Xinrou's nephew's full moon, why would you ask her to help you?"
"Besides, who told you to send the clothes? You dug the hole yourself, you have to fill it even if you have to kneel down."
The mother-in-law's words were like a burst of crackling rain hitting Zhou Mei's face, and she was stunned.
Thinking that this was indeed a hole she had dug for herself, she wanted to slap herself in the face.
Why not just give a bottle of sauce? Why give clothes?
However, she thought she could ask her sister-in-law for help with the clothes, after all, they had a sewing machine at home which was very convenient.
Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law was like a worm in her stomach, and she could see through her before she said anything.
Looking down at the needle hole on her finger, Zhou Mei nodded with tears in her eyes.
"...I understand. I'll do it myself."
Li Xiuli snorted proudly and went to the backyard.
I don’t believe I can’t cure you!
The family had just finished their lunch break. Li Xiuli saw that the weather was too hot and was worried that the four children at home would suffer from heatstroke, so she didn't let them go out.
Goudan and his three friends were playing Douguai in the yard.
It is a game in which one leg is independent, the other leg is bent in front of the hip, the feet are held with both hands or one hand, the knee is protruded forward, and the opponent is attacked with one knee.
The little ones were having a lot of fun playing with the toy cart, laughing.
Hutou was a naive boy who didn't know how to let his sister do what she wanted. He bumped Niuniu into his butt and made her sit on the ground.
Niu Niu just felt a pain in her little butt and started howling with her head thrown back.
"Wow..."
Zhou Mei sat there with her whole body stiff.
While my mother-in-law went to the backyard, I took a break and stretched my muscles by sweeping the floor.
As soon as I swept to the place where Niu Niu sat down, I heard her howling, which was loud but not effective.
Her expression didn't change at all as she poked Niu Niu's shoulder with the broom handle.
"Get out of the way first and don't disturb me while I'm sweeping the floor." Zhou Mei said.
Niuniu paused in her tears and said angrily, "...stepmother."
Zhou Mei laughed, "Yes, I am your stepmother. All the candies in the house will belong to your brother from now on."
Niuniu: “…”
Niu Niu was stunned and almost cried out loud.
Zhou Mei looked serious and didn't seem to be joking.
He quickly stood up and hugged her thighs.
The little baby voice was like crying and said coquettishly, "Mom, you are my dear mother, the best mother."
Zhou Mei was unmoved and gently pulled her away, "No, I'm not. Don't disturb me while I'm sweeping the floor."
Niuniu: “!!!”
Seeing that her daughter, who had always pricked her heart, had become obedient, Zhou Mei's eyes flashed with a hint of pride.
Then I saw Li Xiuli coming from the backyard.
Her face froze.
He waved the broom quickly and said, "Mom, I'll make the clothes later."
Li Xiuli glanced at her calmly and said, "Just finish it. Don't try to be lazy. If I meet my mother-in-law, I will ask about this."
Zhou Mei's face fell.
Why is she so desperate as to make clothes?
When Li Xiuli saw the expression on the second son's wife's face, a smile flashed in her eyes.
It's time for Mei Zi to practice her clothes-making skills. She can't let Xin Rou do everything.
At this moment, the four little ones of the Lin family, who had just washed their hands and faces, came running over with some unknown words.
Niuniu was the first to rush over and looked up at Li Xiuli, "Grandma, am I white?"
Li Xiuli doted on her only granddaughter very much. Upon hearing this, she touched her little face.
"White, Xiao Fei'er is the whitest."
Ever since Lin Tang suggested calling the children by their full names, the Lin family got used to it for a week and finally changed their names.
Goudan: Zhicheng.
Stinky Egg : Zhixuan.
Tiger head: Zhiming.
Niuniu: Xiao Fei'er.
Niuniu, also known as little Lin Fei, raised her chin proudly and said, "I knew it."
Lin Zhiming, the tiger-headed man who was not as good as his sister, was not sad at all.
He lowered his head, patted his chest, admired himself, and emphasized: "I am stronger than Niuniu."
Lin Zhicheng patted his brother's head and said, "You are bigger than Niuniu, so of course you are stronger than Niuniu."
The stinky Lin Zhixuan scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally thought of his "best", feeling very happy.
She raised her little hand and said, "I'm the youngest and I wet the bed, so human traffickers won't kidnap me!"
Li Xiuli, Zhou Mei and Lin Qingshan who just entered the house: "..." People like you are the best targets.
Lin Zhiming was never as strong as his sister, and never as young as Zhixuan. He racked his brains to find someone he could compare to.
"I'm the darkest, the dumbest, and the dumbest."
Li Xiuli and Zhou Mei couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lin Qingshan couldn't help laughing either.
Lin Zhicheng was so angry that he covered his chest and scolded his brother, "Are you stupid? Are these words a compliment?"
…
While something heartwarming and interesting happened at the Lin family, there was quite a stir on Lin Tang's side.
The technical personnel who participated in the textile industry technical exchange meeting included not only domestic but also many foreign technicians.
The flower-growing country developed later and has backward technology, but it has the largest population.
The technicians present were wearing nothing but clean Mao suits. Some of them were poor and even their most respectable clothes had patches on them.
After all, there are factories of all sizes across the country, some with good performance and some with poor performance, so it is normal for the living standards of workers to vary.
Compared with the foreigners in suits and ties here, the Chinese people who once stood at the top of the world seem much more shabby.
The exchange meeting started out in an orderly manner with a warm atmosphere.
Until a Japanese representative suddenly said something in his own language.
"...They are all a bunch of idiots. They can't even keep up with the technology we had over a decade ago. And yet they're still pursuing industrialization. They're worse off than raising pigs."
The tone was sarcastic.
