Chapter 081 King Kong

The Spring Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

Lin Siwei and her grandma had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The house was full of New Year's goods, and they also distributed some fish balls to the neighbors who usually took care of them.

A large chicken cage was built on the north balcony, and the two old hens were so excited that after several meals of feed, they were clucking and clucking to lay eggs. This made Grandma Wang next door very curious. She scratched the brick joints on the north balcony of her house and looked over. When she saw a hen laying eggs, she was even more nervous than the hen, and she hummed and helped.

Now both Hu Qiaoyue and Granny Wang had something to do. On days when Lin Siwei was at work, the two mothers-in-law would gather together to do housework or watch the hens laying eggs.

On the first day of the new year, Lin Zhengqing came over, and happened to meet Lin Siwei and Hu Qiaoyue going out.

The Tianning Temple at the east gate had renovated the Four Great Vajras. Hu Qiaoyue got interested and wanted to go see the excitement. As soon as the two of them went out, they met Lin Zhengqing who was riding a bicycle.

"Mom, Siwei, Happy New Year."

The New Year's Eve person stretched out her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Hu Qiaoyue nodded slightly with a cold face, while Lin Siwei called out "Dad" affectionately.

"I'm here to pay New Year's greetings." Lin Zhengqing patted the two net pockets on the handlebars, which looked like apples again, "Are you going out?"

Hu Qiaoyue had exhausted all her Spring Festival sentiments and was impatient now, tapping her cane on the ground: "We are in a hurry, are you okay?"

Lin Zhengqing smiled and said, "Then I won't delay you. You can take this back and I'll come back in two days."

After saying that, he went to the handlebar to get the net bag.

Hu Qiaoyue lazily said: "Winter apples are in the cold storage. They are out of season. I won't eat them. You can take them back."

Lin Zhengqing's smile froze on his face, and the expected embarrassment finally came.

"Oh, by the way, Siwei has asked the city. The demolition of Yangchuan Road has not been approved at all, so you should worry less."

"Mom... I'm not..."

"I won't give it to you even if it is approved . , go back to Fishbone Lane and live your life."

Hu Qiaoyue tapped her cane twice more, signaling Lin Siwei to leave.

Lin Siwei helped her and was about to leave when Lin Zhengqing called out to her: "Siwei, do you often go to Mayor Gu's house?" Sure enough,

he still couldn't calm down and wanted to ask this.

Lin Siwei turned around and said: "I often go to Fish Bone Lane, but not to Mayor Gu's house, but to Grandpa Gu and Grandma Zhang's house."

Lin Zhengqing's face was not happy: "Go back to Fish Bone Lane, not your own home, go Neighbors are gossiping behind other people’s homes, so be careful about the impact in the future. "

Really?" Lin Siwei didn't believe it. With regard to the reputation of the Lin family in Fish Bone Alley, even if the neighbors gossiped, they would only talk about Lin Zhengqing and Liu Yuxiu, not Lin Siwei.

Lin Siwei smiled lightly and said: "Do I still have my own home in Fish Bone Lane? I won't be allowed to live there for a whole day. I can't hear what the neighbors say. If I go to a house as a guest, the owner will welcome me. How can I care about so many people’s opinions?”

It’s been a year and I’ve grown a year older, and my ability to criticize people has increased.

Lin Zhengqing didn't want to get angry and vomit blood during the Chinese New Year, and he saw people looking at the windows of nearby houses. He was the principal of a municipal middle school, and he was also a prominent figure in Jinling, so he couldn't let others make fun of him.

"Siwei, your Aunt Liu and I welcome you. Come and play when you have time." Turning around, Lin Zhengqing saw that Hu Qiaoyue still had a poker face, and Lin Zhengqing said, "Mom, where are you going? Can I take you there on my bike? "

A filial face, so sincere that anyone who sees him sheds tears.

Hu Qiaoyue waved her cane: "Go, go, go."

The tip of the cane almost hit Lin Zhengqing's face, which frightened Lin Zhengqing to dodge quickly.

Lin Siwei was also impressed by such shamelessness and said angrily: "You should use your filial piety to deal with the old man of the Liu family. Grandma doesn't want to see you at all. There will be retribution for causing trouble for others during the Chinese New Year."

"You..." Lin Zhengqing really couldn't afford to lose this man, so he gritted his teeth, got on his bicycle and left.

Looking at his less elegant back, Hu Qiaoyue said lightly: "The two of the Gu family are also talented people. They are so close to you, but they have never cared about Lin Zhengqing's thoughts."

Lin Siwei smiled and said: "If you don't have a purpose, you don't have to care. "

Hu Qiaoyue nodded: "That's right, that's the truth."

If you take the other party seriously, you will have more to think about. Otherwise, there is really nothing to care about.

...

Tianning Temple is a prestigious ancient temple in Jinling. It is especially famous for its towering Four King Kongs. It was very popular in the early years. However, in special years, the temple was seriously damaged and the Four King Kongs collapsed.

Now the Four Diamonds have been renovated and opened to the public for the first time in many years. Many people came to see their true appearance.

The dark crowd naturally flocked to the Heavenly King's Hall, where there was a buzz of people. Lin Siwei supported Hu Qiaoyue, fearing that she would be scattered by the crowd if she walked slowly.

Perhaps when they arrived in front of the Bodhisattva, these usually impatient people did not dare to make any mistakes. They entered the hall from the right side in an orderly manner and flowed counterclockwise in an orderly manner.

Hu Qiaoyue raised her head and looked at the Vajra in front of her. Vajra glared angrily.

"After all, it's not as high as before." Hu Qiaoyue murmured, "Only half as high as before."

Lin Siwei exclaimed: "How tall was it before? I feel so high just now."

Thinking about it again, grandma may not be right. true. The paint on this Vajra is indeed brand new, but the Temple of the Heavenly King is an old building. No matter how tall the previous Vajra was, it would not break through the roof.

There are also illusions in memory.

More than half of the people around were discussing whether the four newly-sculpted Vajras were the tallest in the entire Jiangsu Province.

Some people even directly replied to Lin Siwei: "I used to be very tall. When I was a child, I went to see the Four King Kongs. They were so tall that I couldn't see King Kong's eyes."

Lin Siwei looked at this person's glasses on the bottom of the beer bottle and thought silently, you must have been there when you were a child. Not wearing glasses?

Just as he was about to continue the discussion, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"You remember wrongly. It used to be this tall."

"Or maybe you remember wrongly. The Vajra in Tianning Temple used to be ten feet high."

"Do you know how high ten feet is?"

"I know better than you anyway. I have done it myself. I touched the golden lump in King Kong’s belly!”

Who else could this person be fighting against wherever they go? It’s naturally Gu Mingde and Zhang Xiuqin.

Lin Siwei turned his head happily: "Grandpa Gu, Grandma Zhang, you are here too!"

"Siwei!" Zhang Xiuqin was particularly happy to see her, "Happy New Year."

Looking at Hu Qiaoyue next to Lin Siwei, Zhang Xiuqin's expression suddenly changed. She felt a little unnatural, and her loud voice became quieter: "Teacher Hu?"

Hu Qiaoyue avoided Zhang Xiuqin's eyes, said "hmm" softly, and turned her head.

"What a coincidence." Zhang Xiuqin chased after her, "I haven't seen you for many years, and I wish Teacher Hu a happy New Year."

Hu Qiaoyue stood gracefully and said calmly, "Thank you, and I also wish your family a happy New Year."

Then she nodded to Gu Mingde: "We Don't block the way here, let's go look elsewhere."

With that, he took Lin Siwei's hand and left.

Lin Siwei is already aware of the grievances between the older generation, and also knows that the times have created too many similar tragedies. Whether they choose to reconcile or remain strangers, Lin Siwei will not make any judgment on their choices.

On the way home, Lin Siwei asked Hu Qiaoyue: "Grandma Zhang said that King Kong used to have gold lumps in his belly?"

Hu Qiaoyue said: "Or it's the four most famous King Kongs in Su Province. In the past, King Kong had five internal organs made of pure gold. "It's a pity that the six organs are all gone."

Lin Siwei said, "They will come back. Don't you think the Four King Kongs are back?"

It's a new year, and many policies will be introduced one after another, and life will become more and more beautiful. OK

...

"Come back -"

As soon as the grandfather and grandson walked to the door, Granny Wang next door came out with a net bag of apples.

"A young man came to see Siwei just now. This is what he left behind."

"Young man?" Lin Siwei's heart suddenly jumped. His first reaction was Gu Qia?

But thinking about it again, I just met the two elders of the Gu family. If Gu Qia comes back, they will definitely tell Lin Siwei.

Who else could it be?

Granny Wang said: "A very decent young man, good-looking. There is no one in your family, so he wrote a note and put it in his net pocket."

Hu Qiaoyue smiled and said: "Oh, there are some decent young men who come to us to think about it." Is it dangerous?"

No matter how calm we are, we are still happy to hear the gossip.

Lin Siwei took out the note from the slit in his net pocket, looked at it, and smiled. The crooked words came from the idiot beauty Ding Shaowu.

"On the third day of the new year, at Jinling Hotel, my dad invited Uncle Gu's family to a party. You must come. My dad said that if you don't come, he will deduct my lucky money. Ding Shaowu."

"Who is it?" Hu Qiaoyue asked.

"My classmate called me to a party on the third day of the new year." Lin Siwei said concisely, omitting the intricate relationship to prevent Granny Wang from setting up her little gossip antenna again.

When Hu Qiaoyue heard this, she was extremely happy: "Go, you must go. Do you want to have a good relationship with your classmates?"

Lin Siwei: Grandma, your plan was even heard by Grandma Wang.

"This apple looks very good and is quite big. This classmate is very attentive and good." Hu Qiaoyue praised again.

This time it was Granny Wang's turn to laugh: "These must be apples from the cold storage, they are out of season."

Hu Qiaoyue said calmly, "As long as they are stored properly, it won't matter if they are out of season."

Granny Wang and Lin Siwei both laughed loudly. laugh.

This double standard is famous both at home and abroad.
