Before Lin Shu officially started school, he had about 10 days of vacation, which was specifically for him to go home and visit his family.
He didn't dare to waste any time and took the train directly to the provincial capital railway station. After getting off the train, he went to find Lin Shumei first.
He didn't have a pager yet, so he could only use the most primitive method of finding people: grade, major, class, and name.
"Shumei! There's a handsome guy in military uniform waiting for you downstairs!" A classmate came in jogging to find Lin Shumei. She was reading a professional book. While others were still asking her if she had a boyfriend, she had already thrown down the book, jumped up and rushed out.
I jogged down the stairs and saw a piece of green clothes. The earth-shaking "Brother" was shouted out.
Lin Shugan was still carrying luggage on his back when a red figure rushed towards him. However, this did not prevent him from catching his little sister steadily.
"Let's go, let's go." Liu Piao, her roommate and best friend, leaned lazily against the wall and waved her hand to help her clear the onlookers from the high place, "Brother Renqin."
There were not many girls in the School of Information and Electronics, and now they were all gathered in this corridor looking down, and they couldn't be driven away.
"Oh my god, what kind of family does Lin Shumei have? How come everyone in her family is so powerful? She even has a brother who's a soldier! He looks so handsome!"
"Tsk! Your last sentence is the key point! Why don't you ask Lin Shumei later if her brother has a girlfriend? If not, see if you can be her sister-in-law~"
"Oh! Go go go~"
…
Lin Shumei felt like she hadn't seen her second brother for a long time. She held Lin Shugan's arm and refused to let go. Since today's classes were over, she pulled Lin Shugan out of the school, saying she wanted to welcome him back and treat him to a big meal.
"Brother, Mom said you're going to Tanzhou to go to school. Tanzhou... is so far away. I saw the train the other day and it took a whole day to get there... I can only wait until summer vacation to visit you.
How many days can you stay at home? Today is only Wednesday, and I still have two days of classes. How about I take a leave and go back with you? It seems that Lin Shuchao went to take the driving test these two days, and I don’t know if he has passed it yet... Even if my parents are not free, we can let him drive us around the city.
You were not here when I took the college entrance exam and registered at the university. We took a lot of family photos, but you were missing from every one. I’m going to make up for it this time...
When will you come back next time?"
The dishes hadn't even been served yet, but Lin Shu had already heard enough.
He smiled and Shumei picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into the bowl.
"Talk while you eat, or the food will get cold."
"I can still stay for another week, so don't ask for leave. Go to class. Your studies are important. Didn't Shuchao say he was going to take the driver's license test? If he passes, I can pick you up at the weekend. If he doesn't..."
"Then let grandma row the boat to pick me up."
Lin Shugan smiled and said, "Yes, then let grandma row the boat, and the third child and I will take the boat together. We can go shopping in the provincial capital directly. Qiu Lake is also very beautiful. If my parents are free, it would be even better if we can go together."
"We have to call big sister!" Lin Shumei said vaguely with meat in her mouth, "Otherwise, we will be short of people again!"
"Okay, so I'll go back first and call Big Sister when the time comes. Then you can see everyone when you have the weekend off."
Lin Shumei narrowed her eyes happily and nodded like a hamster. This is what she wanted!
Lin Shu's return is not only a happy event for the Lin family, but also a happy event for the entire Sihe Village.
There were people who joined the army, but Lin Shugan was the first person in the village to publicly announce that he had been admitted to a military academy. People both knowing him and not knowing him came to the door to join in the fun.
There were also people at the door making noises, "Hey, National Day Chunhua! Are you guys going to have another party? We've been waiting for your second son's graduation party for years! What do you think?"
"That's right! We've been waiting for years, you can't deny it, hahaha!"
Some people also sighed from the perspective of Lin Guoqing's family,
"Oh, it seems that having so many successful children in this family isn't such a good thing. They have to hold banquets every few days, and the money is flowing out like water..."
However, his words were quickly refuted.
"Would his family even care about the little money for the wedding? Those kids can easily earn it back! If my kids were that capable, they wouldn't feel bad about holding weddings every day!"
“That’s right!”
…
Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua didn't really care about the money, but they cared about their son's vacation time.
Excluding the time spent traveling back and forth, Lin Shu and his family spent just a week at home. They had already postponed all the work they could, hoping to spend more time with their children and enjoy some family time.
Not to mention taking a whole day off to prepare a banquet.
Lin Guoqing happily distributed cigarettes to the people standing at the door and said with a smile, "I will definitely treat you to wine! You can't escape even if you want to! But it will take a few days.
You all know that my second son got into a very special university, so his vacation time is limited. We only have so much time, so we plan to take him out for a walk. Once he's rested enough and settled down in college, we'll have a party! It's going to be a big party!
"You said it! We're waiting! If the wine is too bad, we'll make a scene!"
…
After finally driving away the people at the door, Ma Dexiang, who was still at home, couldn't help but spit.
"A bunch of leeches! They can't make much money themselves, and they keep thinking about how to get some from others!"
It's not that he looks down on them, it's just that this group of people have done a lot of things like this in recent years.
In recent years, many villagers have made money outside and come back to build houses, get married, go to school, get a haircut, celebrate birthdays and all kinds of happy events. The village is bustling every now and then.
Since it is a happy event, it is normal to invite the villagers to a banquet. After all, we are all related to each other.
But there is always a group of people who seem to regard this as a source of livelihood. They don't do anything about it themselves. They go from one house to another. Even if some hosts don't invite them, they will bring their whole family to eat and drink. Not only do they eat and drink for free, they also find fault with the hosts and say this is not good and that is not good.
Because it is a happy occasion, the host does not want to quarrel with others on a good day, but he will eventually curse a few times.
The person who just took the lead in saying that he wanted to drink has been complained to Ma Dexiang by several families, and they also disliked Ma Dexiang for not caring about it.
Ma Dexiang really looked aggrieved. No, he was the village party secretary, not the aunt in charge, okay? How could he be in charge of this matter? Besides, would it be useful if he was in charge?
He has said it so many times, have they listened to it at all?
"Alright, alright, brother-in-law, forget it. It's not a big deal. It's just like they say, a happy occasion." Lin Guoqing smiled and changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, why don't you and big sister have dinner at our house tonight?"
