Chapter 69
The two sisters walked into the kitchen together and started washing the grapes.
"Why did your second uncle come back?"
Lin Nanmeng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I seem to have heard from my eldest father (Lin's father) that he came back to repair the house."
Lin Nanzhi understood.
Seeing that their village was developing well, the higher-ups planned to renovate it and turn it into a new village. All the old houses had to be demolished and replaced with new ones. She also heard from Lin's father that except for the houses that were built at the beginning, there were restrictions on the size of the floors for the subsequent houses.
For example, the specifications, decoration, and even the location of the foundation are all regulated. The higher-ups even sent a survey team to investigate and then choose the location of the foundation.
It would be good if the people nearby happen to have it, but those who don’t have it will need to buy it again, but they will get some subsidies.
Moreover, each household registration has one quota. The Lin family was divided more than ten years ago, and each family has one household registration. Except for one of the girls who married far away, all of Grandma Lin's children lived in the same village, so they all had quotas.
It was also thanks to Lin Nanzhi that he asked his father to build the house in advance, otherwise it would not be possible to build it so big now, and there was only one spot.
What Lin Nanzhi couldn't understand was that she heard that her second uncle, fourth uncle and her youngest mother's family were doing quite well in Suzhou Province. They were renting a house now and were planning to buy it and settle down there completely in two years. So why did they want to go home and renovate the house now?
Even if it is built, no one will live there, right?
But since it was not his family's business, Lin Nanzhi didn't care too much about it.
After washing the fruits, I put them in a fruit basket and brought them into the living room.
"Zhizhi, call your mom and your brother to come to my house for dinner tonight."
"No, I have a friend coming over, I'm embarrassed to come, and we bought some food."
"It's OK, there are so many people and it's lively!"
After refusing two or three times, Lin Nanzhi had no choice but to agree, but she was not sure whether Lin's mother would come.
Apart from having a decent relationship with Auntie Lin and Auntie Lin, Mother Lin's relationships with other people are average, especially with Auntie Lin, with whom she is simply incompatible, and she also doesn't get along well with Third Uncle Lin.
Aunt Lin Er is Lin Nanye’s biological aunt.
Auntie Lin liked Father Lin very much, but she was too young to do anything but watch her sister marry Father Lin. After her sister died, she also thought about marrying Father Lin, and even recommended herself. She also said that Father Lin was her brother-in-law, and Lin Nanye was her nephew, and that she, as his aunt, would always treat Lin Nanye better than outsiders, and that if she married a stepmother, Lin Nanye's life would definitely not be as good as under her aunt.
Who knew that Lin's father was not interested in her and only treated her as a younger sister. In the end, he married Lin's mother, which made Lin's second aunt, who didn't like Lin's mother very much, hate her even more.
Later, Auntie Lin married Uncle Lin and became sisters-in-law with Mother Lin. They saw each other every day, but neither of them was the kind of soft-hearted person who would not fight back when being bullied. They quarreled and fought every day, which made Father Lin, Uncle Lin and Grandma Lin upset. Finally, Grandma Lin was divided into two families, becoming the first family in the village to be divided.
Now, more than 20 years have passed, and the two are still sworn enemies.
Uncle Lin has a similar temperament to his father, but he is not as nice as his father. He really dislikes divorced people.
Mother Lin knew his temper and was sure that she would not come.
Forget it. Recently, Lin's mother has been busy with things in the tourist area. After all, it's summer vacation and there are a lot of people coming to play. She often doesn't get home until after ten o'clock, and she eats in the guest house.
On the way home, Lin Nanzhi called his mother and spoke to her. Sure enough, he got an answer that his mother couldn't answer, and he was not surprised at all.
When we got home, we had already picked a lot of fruits and were now bagging and packing them into boxes.
We used a foam box with ice packs inside, and then sealed it with a cardboard box.
Since the inn was built, a lot of things have been bought, so a post station was set up in the inn. People can just send things to the inn without having to go to the market.
The grapes were left on the vines and kept fresh with ice packs. They were grown using spiritual spring water, so as long as they were not squeezed and deformed by gravity during transportation for two or three days, they would not go bad. Therefore, they were not checked in and sent directly by express delivery.
"Auntie said we should go to her house for dinner."
"Go ahead." Lin Nanxuan said nonchalantly.
Their family has a good relationship with Auntie Lin's family, and they occasionally invite each other to dinner. It's no big deal.
"Not only the aunt and the others, but also the second master and the others have all returned."
"all?"
"I didn't see my fourth aunt, but everyone else was there, including my brothers and sisters."
Lin Nanxuan suddenly didn't want to go anymore!
She hated Uncle Lin's family very much. She hated them very, very much.
It can be said that in Uncle Lin's family, except for the second son, there is not a single good person. As Lin's mother said, good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboos.
"No."
"I'm not going either." Lin Nanxun said, and walked away with a basket of grapes, looking like he was going to the inn.
Lin Nanzhi was also unwilling to go.
Every time these uncles come back, the second uncle and second aunt act in a weird way, singing the same tune, which makes people feel uncomfortable. The two children show off every day and belittle them to death.
Auntie is the type of person who doesn't care about other people's business, while Uncle is the type of person who wants to be involved in everything and gets angry if others don't listen to him.
Fourth Uncle was like Lin's father, a good man with no opinion, and was suppressed by his wife. But the wife was a selfish person, and neither her husband nor her children were as important as herself and her family.
For her, taking her children to the doctor is not even as important as buying a gold ring for her mother.
She appears to be smiling and honest on the surface, but when it comes to interests, she is very smart and will always make plans that are in her best interest.
She spoiled her son and turned him into a troublemaker. He would beat or scold anyone if he was not satisfied with something.
As for Aunt Lin, Lin Nanzhi didn't have a very good impression of her either. As for why, she was too lazy to explain.
If Aunt Lin hadn't repeatedly requested, she wouldn't have wanted to go.
She looked at Lin Nanye, who shrugged and said, "They must have something to discuss when they come back, so let's not bother them!"
I thought that Lin Nanye said he had something to discuss and the next sentence was that I had to go and take a look, but I never expected that he didn't want to disturb her. Lin Nanxuan immediately revealed a sweet smile, and Yu Ze couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Then let's go to the inn, so we won't be embarrassed to go when they call us later?" As for the prepared dishes, it would be the same if they were kept in the refrigerator and cooked tomorrow.
There was only one car in the family. Lin's mother was just learning to drive and hadn't gotten her driver's license yet. Lin Nanxuan was also learning, but she had put it aside for now because she was preparing for the civil service exam. As for Lin Nanzhi and Lin Nanxun, forget it because they were not old enough.
Lin Nanye did get his driver's license by taking half-price driving lessons when he was in school, but he didn't buy a car due to his previous illness, so there was only one car in his family.
There were six of them in total, and one car couldn't fit them all, so they decided to take an electric bike.
There were three electric cars in the family. Lin's mother took one away, leaving two at home.
It is OK for six people to sit in one car with three people. [Author's kind reminder: It is no longer OK now, so please obey the traffic rules and keep everyone safe!]
Wen Jiunian and Yu Ze came from the imperial capital and didn't know how to ride a bike, so Lin Nanye and Lin Nanxuan rode the bikes instead.
Lin Nanye drove Wen Jiunian and Yu Ze, Lin Nanxuan drove Lin Nanzhi, and the three of them went out with grapes in their hands, then caught up with Lin Nanxun who had just crossed the bridge, and went to the inn together.
