When faced with the huge temptation of cream, Lin Shumei still held back her saliva and cut a piece with a knife, saying that she wanted to save it for her elder sister.
Seeing this, Liang Shengdi couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "You say I'm the best, but in your heart you're still thinking about your elder sister the most!"
Lin Shuying ate the cake, her mouth and heart were filled with sweetness. She felt like the happiest child in the world. Her grandmother had been waiting in a boat to pick her up early in the morning. Her father had brought her a gift, her mother was concerned about her school performance, and her brothers and sisters were concerned about her in every way.
Fortunately, I ranked ninth in the whole grade in the final exam, which made my family proud.
I don’t know why, but when her report card was taken out, my third brother’s face instantly fell.
This kid didn't fail the exam again, right?
Should I help him with his studies during the winter break?
The third child refused. What do you mean by a holiday? Why should he go to class and study during the holiday? Can't he just have a good New Year's holiday?
Refuse! He refuses! Protest! He protests vigorously!
However, the protest was in vain. As the eldest sister, Lin Shuying frowned deeply when she saw the test paper dug out of her brother's schoolbag.
The average score of their Lin family was lowered by Lin Shuchao, which made her eyes hurt.
"You can't play with that toy gun right now anyway, so I'll give you some review over the next couple of days. How could anyone fail Chinese?!"
The top student doesn’t understand the sorrow of the poor student. Lin Shuchao, dead.

Before Lin Guoqing lay down at night, he suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, Chunhua, give me 100 yuan tomorrow."
"What's wrong?" Chen Chunhua was carefully applying Pechoin on her face. Lin Guoqing bought her a box every three months just to ensure that she could enjoy it to the fullest.
Lin Guoqing: "I only brought a hundred yuan with me before I left. It wasn't enough to buy things, so I used some of the money I received from the factory and will pay it back tomorrow."
Chen Chunhua was in charge of all the money in the family. Lin Guoqing would hand over his monthly salary on time and only give her 10 yuan as pocket money. He would ask her for money when he needed it.
Chen Chunhua: ...She picked up the cotton coat nearby and threw it at him.
"Are you going to die? If you don't have money, just buy less! If you touch the factory's money, you'll be in jail if someone makes things difficult for you!"
Lin Guoqing hugged the cotton-padded jacket, smiling playfully, not thinking there was anything wrong at all. "I'm not completely greedy. I'm just borrowing it for two days. Haven't I already informed the finance department? I'll fill it back tomorrow."
I'm the one who brought in the business! I'm the one who got the money back! Who would try to make things difficult for me? Do they still want their wages?!"
Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes in anger and said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow morning!" What an enemy!
The electroplating factory closed for the holiday after handing out year-end bonuses before the Lunar New Year. Even the mushroom class officially suspended classes a week before the Lunar New Year, resuming after the Lantern Festival. But Chen Chunhua couldn't rest yet.
The restaurant's business is even more prosperous when it is closed for holidays, so she still has to continue delivering eggs. Recently, she has to put several chicken cages on her tricycle every day and deliver at least a dozen chickens.
She was so busy collecting money, but she was also exhausted. She had originally planned to take two days off on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, as she had a lot of things to do at home, but the restaurant owners disagreed!
They were counting on making a killing during the Lunar New Year holidays, and now you're delivering food. So, what's their business? No, they have to! They absolutely have to! At most, they'll just pay you a little extra for your hard-earned money.
As Chinese people, who would think about taking a rest when they can make money?
So Chen Chunhua asked Lin Guoqing to deliver it. Since you can't clean properly and don't know how to pickle fish or make sausages, then do something you can do.
Lin Guoqing resigned himself to his fate and rode his tricycle early in the morning on his holiday, delivering goods to each household according to the address and quantity, and even had to chat with people at each door.
"Eh? Why isn't Boss Shen here to pick you up today? Are you..."
"I'm her husband. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm busy at home. She doesn't have time..."
"Oh, I see! I heard Boss Shen mention you. You seem to be the section chief in the factory, right? Oh, it's still comfortable like this for you guys. It's a holiday, it's a holiday... Hey, Boss, do you want a cigarette? One?"
"No, no, thank you! I don't smoke much." Lin Guoqing waved his hand quickly.
"Are there any non-smokers in your supply and marketing department? Sometimes when people come to our restaurant to discuss business, they smoke cigarettes one after another, enough to set the whole restaurant on fire."
"Hey, there's nothing I can do when I'm talking business. Normally, I'd rather not smoke if I can. Boss Shen has a sharper nose than a dog. It would be terrible if she smelled it when I get home!"
The restaurant owner was also an experienced person, and he went with us, laughing.
"Hey, it's so busy during the New Year! Especially the women. The store is so busy that my wife said she has to go home first... Hey! There are so many eggs today! Can you give us a few more pounds?"
"Oh, that's not possible! Boss, we've had a lot of orders these past two days, and that's all we can order each day. We can't add any more for now."
"Your business is so good, it's time to expand. Raise a few more chickens so we don't have to buy them elsewhere, and you can make more money!"
"We are saving money to expand!"
…
He would go to the entrance of every restaurant and do the same thing. After finishing the round, Lin Guoqing was finally thirsty.
Rushing home against the cold wind, the wind piercing his face like icy knives, Lin Guoqing longed for the days when he could ride in the factory bus, out of the sun and out of the rain. And without the icy knives hitting his face.
The old saying is true: it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Back then, when I had to walk for hours, I thought having a tricycle was a real thrill. But now, I've started to dislike tricycles. I wish I could buy a small truck.
The truck bed could hold even more stuff. If the farm really wanted to expand, it would take forever to transport all the chickens and eggs every day using only tricycles.
But before buying a truck, he had to learn how to drive. Even if he learned to drive by being a grandson of a factory master, wouldn't he still have to go to work? Chunhua wouldn't allow him to quit the factory...
How about letting Chunhua learn to drive on her own? Are there any female drivers? Even if there are... is Chunhua supposed to be someone's grandson?
"A-choo!" A gust of wind blew, and my nose felt itchy terribly. Then there was a sneeze that was so loud that it shook the world and made the ghosts cry. Then there were two sneezes, and three sneezes.
One spread, two scolded, three worried, it must be Chunhua at home worried about why he hasn't returned yet. Hurry up!
When Lin Guoqing went back and told Shen Chunhua about learning to drive and buying a car, he received an indescribable look from her.
"Do you think our family owns a bank? We're building a house, expanding the farm, and now we're thinking about buying a car. We have endless money, right?"
