Chapter 77: Thicker than the old locust tree in the village
"I will remember Dad's contribution. I will get him a military coat and a pair of leather shoes when the time comes." Lin Tang said with a smile.
Her father has been envious of her uncle for having a military coat for a long time.
Sooner or later I have to give my dad a makeover.
Lin Lu was deeply moved.
But he advised: "I am just a farmer, I don't need a military coat or leather shoes.
I'll buy you a pair of small leather shoes and don't wait for your third brother.
By the time he buys you one, the new leather shoes you bought yourself will be worn out!"
Lin Qingmu: Dad, how much do you look down on your son?
He immediately protested, "Dad, don't underestimate me. Maybe my luck will improve soon!"
He was just unlucky not to get a job, otherwise he could have bought two pairs of shoes for his sister.
Lin Lu didn't believe it at all and snorted coldly.
"It's almost here. Ask other people, who would believe it? Do you think you are Tangtang?"
"Tangtang is smart and lucky, you... should just work hard and earn work points."
It’s not that he has to attack the third brother, but he knows that the third brother is a person who doesn’t believe in fate and is very proud!
The third brother thought they didn't know and kept asking people to inquire about the job.
In fact, they all know.
It just wasn't mentioned.
Tangtang has a job now.
He was afraid that the third brother would lose his temper and become interested in Tangtang's job, so he wanted to suppress him.
Although he had confidence in the boy he was educating, it was still better to be on the safe side.
Lin Qingmu was dispirited, "..."
What Dad said is right.
He really doesn't have good luck.
It’s not that I haven’t encountered good opportunities, but I missed them all.
Seeing that the light in his third brother's eyes was almost gone, Lin Tang felt a little uncomfortable and said quickly:
"Dad, please don't discourage my third brother. He is still a junior high school student after all.
I will work in a factory in the future. If there is a good opportunity, maybe our family can have another worker."
It’s just a job. When she needs money, she will have food, and she will have tickets... Is the job difficult?
Lin Qingmu was so moved that his hands trembled. He looked at his sister with tears in his eyes and said exaggeratedly: "Sister, Third Brother is relying on you. You are really my good sister!"
It's obvious that he is just teasing.
Lin Tang just wanted to cover his face.
The third brother should look in the mirror so that he can see how exaggerated his expression is.
It's really a bit eye-catching~
Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingshui looked at the third brother's flattering appearance with contempt.
Do you have any shame in openly hugging your little sister's thighs?
But seeing that Tangtang was protecting Qingmu, the two brothers had no choice but to follow suit and praise her.
"The third child is indeed okay, but it's a pity to keep him farming at home."
"Yes, yes, maybe the third child will have a bright future!"
Li Xiuli twitched her lips at the side.
Are these guys, whose faces are thicker than the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, her children?
"Alright, stop being so joking. Tangtang doesn't owe you anything. What are you all thinking?"
Lin Qingmu looked helpless, "Mom, has anyone ever told you that you're a conversation starter?"
"Look how happy everyone is bragging, but as soon as you start talking, the atmosphere is instantly ruined."
He wanted to hear a few more words.
It's rare for him to be praised by everyone.
Li Xiuli rolled her eyes, raised her head from sorting the bills, and glanced at the third brother.
"You wish!"
"If I don't pull you down, you'll float up to the sky. You've learned a lot from your father about bragging."
Lin Lu's body stiffened and he looked at her embarrassedly.
"Just say the third brother, why are you pulling me?"
Not wanting to vent his anger on Li Xiuli, he turned around and glared at Lin Qingmu.
You little bastard, you actually betrayed your own father!
Li Xiuli snorted and said, "You are the biological father of these three boys. If I don't support you, who else should I support?"
"Just think about it, didn't they learn from you? They went to the cotton mill and the state-owned restaurant? Look how proud he is."
Lin Lu glanced at the three boys one by one and sighed inwardly.
Nothing to say.
Li Xiuli sorted the money and handed it back to Lin Tang.
"Tangtang, keep this money, you're going to the county soon.
There are so many places to spend money, don't just foolishly spend it all day long."
Lin Lu also meant this, and then said: "Your mother is right, in the county, even drinking water costs money, how can we survive without money.
There's no shortage of food at home, so take the money and don't let it get you any worse off."
Although there is not much food at home, we will not starve to death.
It’s difficult to go anywhere without money!
The three elder brothers of the Lin family also had the same idea and followed suit.
Lin Tang looked at his family and felt warm in his heart.
"I still have money. Please keep it, mother. It will be used as an emergency measure." She pushed the money back firmly.
In the corner, Zhou Mei, who was glared at by Lin Qingshui from time to time, had eyes that were brighter than light bulbs.
Pick it up!
Pick it up!
Pick it up quickly!
She could hardly bear it anymore.
Why is my mother-in-law still hesitating?
It's so frustrating!
In a hurry, he pulled Lin Qingshui's hand without any strength, and Lin Qingshui's face was distorted with pain.
"Crazy woman, you want to break my hand!" Lin Qingshui shook off Zhou Mei's hand, lowered his voice and said unhappily.
Zhou Mei smiled awkwardly, "Uh...amn't I anxious?"
That's money!
Giving it to my mother-in-law means giving it to them. How can she not be anxious?
Lin Qingshui rolled his eyes and said coldly, "That's the money my sister gave to my parents, it's none of our business.
You'd better not do anything unnecessary, nor say anything unnecessary."
Zhou Mei had been warned several times and was no longer so fearless.
He could only beg for mercy: "...I, I'm worried about my mother."
Lin Qingshui: Mom needs you to worry about her!
Look how tired you are!
However, in order to avoid complications, he gave Zhou Mei some face and did not say this.
He now has very low requirements for his wife, as long as she doesn't cause trouble.
Li Xiuli ignored the quarrel between her son and daughter-in-law and remained silent for a while.
He counted out two dollars and gave them to Lin Tang, and kept the rest.
"I'll leave two for you."
"Your sister-in-law made you a new dress. Mother saw that the coupons you gave her included cloth coupons, so she gave your sister-in-law one dollar and eight feet of cloth coupons..."
Eight feet of cloth is just enough to make a shirt.
One dollar gives you the thoughtfulness and craftsmanship.
"I have seven dollars left and these miscellaneous bills. I'll keep them for now. If you need them, come find me."
The reason why money and cloth coupons were given to the eldest son's wife was purely because Ning Xinrou made a new set of clothes for her daughter.
The eldest son's wife made clothes for Tangtang with the fabrics she was reluctant to use.
How could she be reluctant to part with such a small amount of money?
Ning Xinrou was a little surprised that her mother-in-law would give her money.
She quickly refused and said, "No, I am willing to make clothes for my little sister, you don't have to do this."
Lin Tang knew that his mother gave money to his sister-in-law for his own good.
I also advised: "Just accept it, sister-in-law. I know you are good to me, but I can't let you suffer any loss."
Then he looked at Lin Qingshan and said, "Brother, please persuade my sister-in-law. She hasn't worn a new piece of clothing in a few years. Don't you feel bad for her?"
These words immediately touched Lin Qingshan's heart.
It hurts!
How can I not feel sad?
