Chapter 009 Turning point
Liu Yuxiu’s face turned green.
What nonsense is this? If "family harmony and everything will be prosperous" can make the Lin family live in harmony from now on, then the "progress of thousands of miles" of the old Zhang family next door should make the old Zhang family prosperous, right?
Not to mention that Lao Zhang himself is still a boilermaker. His son has been back to the city for two years and is still unemployed and can only work as a second-rate man on the street.
So these five crooked big characters are too ugly to hang on the wall to ward off evil spirits. I don’t know where the face and aura come from.
Liu Yuxiu rushed over, grabbed "Home and Everything Happens", and shouted: "Lin Siwei, is it fun to play tricks on others?"
The poor rice paper was messed up and thrown into the corner.
"Aunt Liu, you can't throw it away!" Lin Siwei rushed over, grabbing the paper ball as if rescuing a puppy that was about to be caught in the wheel, her hands and mouth trembling together, "It's over, ruined, useless."
She cried sadly . Face, she slowly unfolded the ball of paper...
She must admit that her calligraphy skills are indeed not very good. Their children are very good at computers but not very good at writing. Lin Siwei's hard-pen handwriting is quite elegant, but this soft brush is indeed difficult to control.
But is she here to demonstrate her calligraphy skills today?
no!
She came to save the Lin family.
But now it is no longer possible. Due to Liu Yuxiu's torment, the original "family and everything prosperous" has been distorted into "family and everything is six".
"This is our Lin family's last hope...it's gone. I can't help it." Lin Siwei cried with a sad face and trembling lips, as if he saw the building about to collapse and the oil lamp about to run out.
Liu Yuxiu sneered: "I don't care if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. You made my family like this and you achieved your goal."
Lin Siwei looked at her innocently: "Aunt Liu, what purpose can I have..."
"Who else? What about you? Even though your mother is dead, isn't your aunt Su Hongxia still here? Who knows what she taught you? "
"I... I haven't seen my aunt in a long time..." Lin Siwei felt extremely aggrieved. , holding the "everything is going well at home" in his hand uneasily.
The situation reached a stalemate again.
Lin Zhengqing pulled a handful of hair again, and his beauty dropped out of the top five in the Jinling education system. He wailed: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Don't you think this house is chaotic enough?"
Liu Yuxiu's eyes widened: "Do I want to make trouble? Obviously before I came back, this house was already in chaos. "
She picked up her bag again: "Huanhuan, go ask Lele to pack your things. We can't accommodate us here."
Lin Jiahuan didn't do anything, but asked: "Where are we going?"
"To grandma's house, when will this country bumpkin get out of here? " "When will we come back?"
Lin Jiahuan still didn't move: "This is my home, I won't leave."
Liu Yuxiu's anger rose again, "You are not even obedient
, are you?" Let's go. Why should I give up my territory? I'll take a test next week.
Will it affect my condition if the house is noisy every day?" Liu Yuxiu thought it was strange.
"So I hope you will get her away as soon as possible and restore peace to this family. Instead of asking us to avoid her."
Lin Jiahuan was resolute, turned around and walked into the room, closing the door behind her.
The living room suddenly became quiet. Lin Jiale's low sobs could still be heard through the crack in the door, but Lin Jiahuan didn't seem to comfort her.
Liu Yuxiu was dumbfounded.
She was so full of anger that she suddenly had nowhere to vent her anger. She was stunned for a moment, slammed her bag on the ground, squatted down and cried.
At this moment, Lin Siwei felt some sympathy for her.
But thinking of Su Hongmei who breathed her last in hardship, Lin Siwei felt that sympathy was useless.
Lin Siwei could not remember what Su Hongmei looked like when she was young. Even if she inherited all the memories of her original body, the Su Hongmei in this memory bank had gray hair and a stooped back, and was no match for the legendary beauty of Daming Village.
That's right, Su Hongmei turned gray at the age of thirty.
Only in her only black and white photo, Lin Siwei can see Su Hongmei's sweetness and vitality.
But that photo, like Su Hongmei's youth, was sealed in the dust in the years. It wasn't until Su Hongmei's death that Lin Siwei found this black-and-white photo at the bottom of a broken box at home.
This is actually a wedding photo. There was only a human-shaped hole left on the other side, and that was Lin Zhengqing who had been cut off.
Only Su Hongmei was still smiling heartlessly, her eyes full of expectations for a happy life.
In Lin Siwei's memory, Su Hongmei had no expectations, only her back bent due to farm work, and the sorrow of carrying the frail and sick Lin Siwei around to raise money for medicine.
Who will sympathize with Su Hongmei?
Su Hongmei died of lung disease. The original Lin Siwei didn't understand, but the current Lin Siwei understands. Even in this era, lung disease is no longer an incurable disease.
Rather than saying that Su Hongmei died of illness, it is better to say that she died of hard work and poverty.
Compared with Su Hongmei, Liu Yuxiu, who was squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, was not that pitiful. What's more, Lin Zhengqing is the number one culprit for Su Hongmei's tragic fate. Liu Yuxiu, who took a fancy to Lin Zhengqing and forced him and Su Hongmei, can be regarded as an accomplice.
So this crying is just her repaying a debt.
Lin Siwei hardened his heart and put the "Home and Everything Happiness" in his hand back together again, tightly than before, and squeezed it into a small ball.
The five words she wrote were not all nonsense and irritating, but also somewhat sincere.
If the Lin family can really understand the principle of "everything thrives when a family is in harmony", Lin Zhengqing can truly repent, and Liu Yuxiu can be truly tolerant, she may not be able to live in harmony with them.
Too bad they don't deserve it.
…
Liu Yuxiu did not return to her parents’ home after all.
She can slap her daughter to teach her a lesson, and she can also slap herself awake. Lin Jiahuan was right, if she was angry with Lin Siwei, a country bumpkin, she would lose.
Anyway, it was only three days, and now that one day had passed, she didn't believe that Lin Siwei could still find flowers.
Only Lin Jiale's injured world was reached.
Lin Zhengqing, the culprit, took the initiative to cook dinner. Of course, he didn't dare to act casually, so he only burned one or two pieces of meat, and that one piece was a meaty star that could only be found with a magnifying glass.
He was afraid that he had put too much minced meat, and Liu Yuxiu suspected that he was giving Lin Siwei preferential treatment.
There was silence at the dinner table, everyone looked ugly, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Lin Zhengqing could only discuss some questions about the proficiency test with Lin Jiahuan. After all, Lin Jiahuan was only interested in this.
Lin Jiale didn't show up at all.
Finally, Liu Yuxiu picked up some food and asked Lin Jiahuan to carry it into the room.
Lin Siwei didn't know what big move Lin Jiale was holding back in the room, but after dinner, Lin Zhengqing and Liu Yuxiu pretended to go out for a walk. Lin Siwei guessed that this should be the "Fishbone Lane Public Opinion Analysis Meeting" and the "Lin Siwei Issues Seminar."
Sure enough, after the two came back from their walk, Lin Zhengqing and Lin Siwei announced a major decision - it was the day for the water company to read the water meters in the next two days, and Lin Siwei was told not to go out and wait at home for the meter reading.
What a sacred mission.
In fact, he just didn't want Lin Siwei to go out again. As soon as she goes out, she makes trouble in Fishbone Lane, and the Lin family can't stand it.
Lin Siwei accepted the offer gladly, promised not to go anywhere, and opened the door to greet the meter reader.
"Ahem, you don't need to keep the door open all the time. You just need to be at home anyway. Don't let people knock on the door." Lin Zhengqing said.
"What about my lunch tomorrow..." Lin Siwei asked tactfully.
The dime given yesterday was still in her pocket, but if she went out to buy vegetables and steamed buns, she might pass by the meter reader, and she might not be able to complete her sacred mission.
Lin Zhengqing thought for a while: "I will buy an extra breakfast, so you can just order it."
Liu Yuxiu snorted coldly: "Why just make do with it? She doesn't know if she can eat three meals a day in the countryside."
There are indeed many in the countryside . People have less than three meals to eat, and there is one meal but no next meal. This refers to the famine in previous years, but now in the 1980s, things are much better than before. And Lin Siwei and Su Hongmei.
Lin Siwei said: "A mother's child is a treasure. My mother doesn't eat herself, so she has to save me three meals a day."
Liu Yuxiu: "..."
She walked into the room angrily, and with a bang, the door swung open. Old ring.
Lin Zhengqing had no choice but to whisper to Lin Siwei: "I told you not to mention your mother all the time, why didn't you listen?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I forgot." Lin Siwei looked at him pitifully.
Lin Zhengqing waved his hand and motioned for her to go to the yard to talk.
It seemed that Liu Yuxiu should not listen to what he said next.
There was a cool breeze blowing in the yard, which was much more pleasant than yesterday's sweltering heat. The courtyard door was shut tightly. The Lin family has been the center of the storm in Fish Bone Alley these past two days. Anyone who walks past has to take a look inside.
Lin Zhengqing whispered: "I know that you and your mother have been wronged over the years, but it is also difficult for me. Only if I have a firm foothold in the city can I help you, right?"
Lin Siwei pursed his lips: "But My mother doesn’t need your help anymore..."
Lin Siwei is very good at selling miserably. This is to remind Lin Zhengqing that although my mother no longer needs your help, I am still here.
Lin Zhengqing said: "Well, I'm sorry about this too. But since you're here and you recognize me as your father, I will finally settle you in a good place."
It seems that the topic is about to come.
To be honest, even without Lin Zhengqing's help, Lin Siwei is fully capable of surviving.
In her previous life, she was an average student and joined a small start-up company in sales, becoming one of the company's first dozen employees. But such an inconspicuous small company, thanks to everyone's efforts, it took ten years to reach the top of the industry.
The small salesman became the company's entrepreneurial veteran, and Lin Siwei also changed from a "salesman" to a CMO. Everyone calls her Mr. Lin.
She has seen strong winds and waves, and she also knows that the world is dangerous.
It is precisely because of this experience that Lin Siwei acts both boldly and cautiously.
If she had traveled back in time not to 1982, but two years later, she would not need Lin Zhengqing at all and could create the market on her own.
But not now.
Although reform is already widespread in major cities, implementation across the country has been rather haphazard. She has no education and no job. Even if she sets up a stall, she may be dismissed as speculation.
Dying before leaving the army was definitely not what Lin Siwei wanted.
That's why she decided to defect to Lin Zhengqing.
Lin Zhengqing's biggest role is not "the care from his father", but his "father's identity".
Only when the issue of Lin Siwei's identity is resolved can everything she does later be justified and protected.
Therefore, whether she can live in the Lin family is not the ultimate problem. Giving her an identity is the main problem at the moment.
"Dad, how are you going to arrange for me?" Lin Siwei asked.
Lin Zhengqing said: "I will find a school for you, you go to school."
