Chapter 397 Neighbors
Wang Changfa failed to instigate or threaten, so he slammed the door and left in anger.
Watching Wang Changfa leave, Wang Lijuan held the back of the sofa with her hands, her legs shaking a little. She was really afraid that Wang Changfa would destroy the trust she and Lin Xiao had just established.
Lin Xiao walked over and supported Wang Lijuan: "Are you okay?"
Wang Lijuan hugged Lin Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, my family affairs still affect you."
Lin Xiao patted Wang Lijuan on the back and smiled: "You didn't come out of nowhere. Everyone has their own troubles. I was angry before because you didn't trust me and didn't tell me anything. Now we just have to face it together."
Wang Lijuan looked at Lin Xiao and smiled: "You know what? I don't have any burden in my heart now. I am only wholeheartedly with you."
Lin Xiao also smiled and said, "That's fine, let's live a good life from now on."
On the other side, Wang Changfa walked while cursing Wang Lijuan for being ungrateful, but he didn't dare to go too far, because he could see that Wang Lijuan was out of control and that the hard approach didn't work, so he had to try the soft approach next time.
On the weekend, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to their hometown. The roof of their house had been completed and the main house was tiled. The factory building did not need tiles and was a red brick building.
There is a gatehouse at the entrance. The surrounding walls have not been built yet, but the wires have been hung.
The subsequent construction period was faster because the windows and doors had been built before and only needed to be installed. No labor was needed to build the walls. Although there were many walls, it was easy to find laborers.
Lu Guojiu hasn't been here for a long time. He went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy nails.
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen took a look here and then went home.
We are not making snacks at home today. Li Shaofen is tending to the vegetables in the back garden. The vegetables have grown quite tall now.
Lin Xiaoxia likes to take care of cauliflowers and grow vegetables. Although she is not very good at it, she is willing to try. So she went to pull weeds with Li Shaofen.
Li Shaofen looked at Lin Xiaoxia with a smile: "You said that you like to tinker with these things. I bought such a large piece of land next to the new house. When the time comes, I will clean it up for you. I will plant a strawberry patch and a few fruit trees so that you will have something to tend to whenever you come back."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Thank you, Mom. When the time comes, we can plant some flowers and plants. There will be food to eat and things to admire, and we can also fish. It will be a paradise on earth."
Lu Jingshen said, "I think we can build a pavilion next to the fish pond. Or build a small bridge and a pavilion?"
Lin Xiaoxia looked at her husband and mother-in-law and smiled: "Just spoil me."
Lu Jingshen also laughed and said, "Who made you so unpopular?"
Li Shaofen looked at the affection between her son and daughter-in-law and couldn't help laughing: "Depth of Field is better than your dad. Your dad can't even say it's good."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Mom, my dad won't tell you, but it's good for you. I saw the clothes he bought for you a few days ago."
Li Shaofen said embarrassedly: "You little brat, your eyes are so sharp that you can still find out."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "I'm not the only one with this broken child."
Li Shaofen also laughed: "I guarantee it was Jingyuan who said that. He has no secrets."
Everyone laughed when talking about Lu Jingyuan.
Lu Jingyuan came back from a classmate's house and heard everyone talking in the backyard. He came over and asked, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
Lu Jingshen looked at his brother: "He said you are smart."
Lu Jingyuan smiled and said, "I know I'm smart, so why would you use me for any work?"
Lin Xiaoxia and Li Shaofen couldn't help laughing again when they looked at Lu Jingyuan.
As they talked and laughed, Uncle Dong from the East Courtyard looked in from across the courtyard wall and said, "Ever since your family married Xiaoxia, there's been laughter and joy every day."
Li Shaofen said: "That's right, this child is full of joy."
Lin Xiaoxia and the others greeted Uncle Dong.
Uncle Dong said, "These kids are really nice. They're so likable."
Li Shaofen said: "You are seeing the good side. There are also many annoying times." Parents are all like this. The more people praise them, the more humble they should be.
Uncle Dong said, "The kids are making some noise, which is quite a bit of fun." Then he turned to Li Shaofen and said, "Sister-in-law, the handle of my pickaxe is broken. Is yours home?"
Lu Jingyuan said, "I'll get it for Uncle Dong." Then he went to Fangshanzi to get the dough.
Lin Xiaoxia said, "It just so happened that when Jing Shen and I bought roast chicken, we brought one to Uncle Dong's house, and I wanted to ask Jing Yuan to deliver it later, so it's a good opportunity to take it over now." As she said that, Lin Xiaoxia went back to the house to get the roast chicken.
Uncle Dong's family has helped their family the most over the years, so Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen often bring some to Uncle Dong's family when they buy things.
Uncle Dong looked at Lin Xiaoxia and said, "Don't give it to me. Keep it for your family to eat, or give it to Lu Lin."
Lin Xiaoxia disappeared.
Li Shaofen said, "They should bring some for Xiaolin whatever they buy. Don't worry about her."
As he was talking, Lin Xiaoxia came back with a roast chicken. Lu Jingshen handed the pickaxe and the roast chicken to Uncle Dong.
When Uncle Dong wanted to refuse, Li Shaofen said, "Uncle, the children bought this out of their heart, so don't be so formal with them."
Uncle Dong took it with a smile: "Okay, I'll take it. I've eaten a lot of good things from your family this year, and I've borrowed a lot from the children."
Li Shaofen said, "You were so kind to these children before. How could they not know? It's only right for them to respect you."
Lu Jingshen said, "That's right, Uncle Dong. When my father was sick, you and Auntie really helped our family a lot. Even if we move away in the future, we will come back to see you."
Uncle Dong smiled and said, "Okay, good boy, just don't forget me from now on." Then he asked, "So, are you planning to sell this house?"
Li Shaofen said, "I'm planning to sell it. After all, there's more space over there, and it would be a waste to keep it here."
Uncle Dong said, "Yes, I hope it can be sold to a good family, so that I can have a good neighbor in the future."
Lu Jingshen said, "Uncle Dong, your third son isn't a child anymore. How about selling this place to you at a lower price? It's next to your house. When your third son gets married, he can live here. It'll be convenient for him to be close to you."
Uncle Dong said, "I didn't dare mention this because I was afraid you would say I was selling it cheap. If I buy it, I have to pay the market price."
Lin Xiaoxia understood and laughed: "Uncle Dong, you are really being distant with us."
Uncle Dong said, "This isn't about being polite. If you kids buy something for me during the New Year and come to see me, I'll be happy and won't refuse. But brothers should be fair in their accounts. If you're talking about something cheap, I promise I won't buy it. I'm afraid that this will alienate our two families."
Li Shaofen said, "You two are just too suspicious."
Lu Jingshen said to Li Shaofen, "Mom, why don't we sell Uncle Dong at a normal price? When we open a factory in the future, we can let the third son of their family go to work there. I know the third son, he is capable and can endure hardships. We can just treat each other as relatives from now on."
Li Shaofen nodded. "I think it's okay. Apart from anything else, when your father was seriously ill, it was really thanks to your uncle Dong and his wife. When we left, Xiaolin and Jingyuan always ate at your uncle Dong's house. How much delicious food did they eat from their third son? The third son is thin, and Jingyuan is responsible."
Lu Jingyuan smiled and scratched his head: "When I make money in the future, I will buy more delicious food for the third brother."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "By the time you make money, the third brother will be getting married soon."
Everyone started laughing again when they heard this. Lu Jingyuan was always the source of everyone's jokes.
