"Guodong." Zhang Jiao caught up with Lin Guodong and grabbed his sleeve.
Lin Guodong shook her off and turned around angrily, "If you want to eat dumplings, just eat dumplings. Why are you saying those things? When did that dumpling shop become ours?"
If she hadn't said such shameless words, could that brat have told her the reason why he severed his relationship with his mother?
When those who were queuing for dumplings heard this, they almost pointed at their noses and scolded them for being thick-skinned and shameless.
It's really embarrassing!
Facing the accusations from others, Lin Guodong felt ashamed, but also felt that he was really sorry for his mother.
Although it was not his idea to sever the mother-son relationship, he did help others persuade his mother at that time.
He was afraid that if he didn't sign, the responsibility of providing for his mother in her old age would fall solely on him, so he signed it anyway. No one forced him.
Zhang Jiao: "That dumpling shop is owned by your mother. You are her biological son, and we are family. What's wrong with saying it's our own?"
"Do you think my mother recognizes me as her son now?" Lin Guodong sneered.
He would be slapped if he called her mom.
Zhang Jiao said, "If you come to my dumpling shop more often, show your face, and show your filial piety, I'll definitely recognize you. Just like my mom said, there's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a mother and her son. You're her flesh and blood."
"If it were me, no matter what Junjun did, I would never disown him. He will always be my son."
Lin Guodong glanced in the direction of the dumpling shop, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he carried Junjun to the state-owned restaurant.
Uncle Lin’s family had dinner and even killed a chicken for Lin Yongnian.
Lin Yongnian, who hadn't eaten chicken for a long time, looked at the roast chicken with potatoes on the table and swallowed his saliva.
His cousin Lin Yongsheng invited him to sit at the top table and opened a bottle of wine that Lin Yongnian brought.
"The countryside is different from your city. You can buy whatever you want to eat. Yongnian, please don't mind that I haven't prepared any dishes." Uncle Lin said with a smile as he looked at his nephew sitting next to him.
Lin Yongnian: "These dishes are already very good."
Although there were only four dishes, they included meat and eggs. Lin Yongnian hadn't eaten four dishes in a long time.
"Eat some food, eat some food." Uncle Lin picked up his chopsticks and called out.
Lin Yongnian picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the chicken to eat when Lin Yongsheng poured him some wine.
"Come on, big brother, you finally came back, let's have a drink together."
Lin Yongnian had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and drink with them first.
The men drank and ate at the table, while Lin Yongsheng's wife, daughter-in-law and children ate in the kitchen.
Lin Yongsheng's daughter-in-law gnawed on a chicken neck and complained to her mother-in-law, "Uncle came back with very little this time."
When I came back three years ago, I also took a pig's hind leg and some cloth.
This time, just two kilograms of sugar and two kilograms of wine.
Lin Yongsheng's wife, Tang Xiangqin, said, "Whether you take more or less, it's all a token of your appreciation. Don't worry about it. When your eldest uncle leaves tomorrow, I'll give money to your grandfather and his two children."
It's basically like this every time my cousin comes back. This time he only stayed for a day or two, and gave the old man ten dollars when he left.
These ten dollars are not a small amount of money for farmers like them.
"Sister Parsley."
Suddenly, Tang Xiangqin heard someone calling her, so she put down the bowl and left the kitchen.
Du Taohua was seen standing at the gate of the yard holding a bowl of meat dish of unknown substance.
"Hey, Sister Taohua, what are you doing?"
Du Taohua said a little embarrassedly, "My rabbit wasn't feeling well, it looked like it was getting sick, so I killed it. I can't eat that much by myself, and it's so hot now, so it'll go bad if it's kept for a while. So I brought a bowl over and gave it to Uncle Lin and the others to drink with some wine."
Tang Xiangqin took it with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Taohua. I'll send the dishes back to you after I wash them."
Du Taohua nodded, glanced towards the main hall of the Lin family, and saw Lin Yongnian sitting next to Uncle Lin. She only took a glance, then lowered her eyelids and turned away.
Tang Xiangqin brought the rabbit meat into the kitchen. When her daughter-in-law Niu Menglan saw it, she asked, "Who sent this?"
Tang Xiangqin took the chopsticks and put some rabbit meat onto the plate of chicken.
"Did your Aunt Du from next door send it?"
"How could Aunt Du be willing to send meat to our family?" Niu Menglan widened her eyes.
It is so difficult to eat meat these days. Aunt Du is a widow who was driven out of her husband's family. Her life is even more difficult. How could she be willing to send so much meat to her family?
Tang Xiangqin just smiled and said nothing. They were from the same village, and she knew about the relationship between her eldest cousin and Du Taohua.
Tang Xiangqin carried a large bowl of rabbit meat to the main room and placed it in the middle of the table.
"Where does the rabbit meat come from?" Lin Yongsheng asked.
Tang Xiangqin glanced at Lin Yongnian and said with a smile, "Sister Taohua sent it. She said one of our rabbits was listless and looked sick, so she killed it. She couldn't finish it all by herself, so she brought some for Dad to drink."
Lin Yongnian frowned and said, "When I was at her house this afternoon, I saw that the rabbits in her yard were in good spirits."
Lin Yongsheng patted his shoulder and smiled ambiguously, "Brother, don't you understand? They killed it specially for you to eat. We can eat this rabbit meat because of you."
Lin Yongnian was stunned. Killed specially for him to eat?
"Brother, you are so lucky. You married a beautiful, hardworking and honest wife in the city. People in this hometown still miss you." Lin Yongsheng looked at Lin Yongnian with envy.
Lin Yongsheng's son, Lin Dafu, looked at him with gossip on his face and asked, "Dad, are you talking about my cousin Aunt Du..."
Lin Yongsheng nodded and said, "When your Aunt Du was young, she lived with your cousin for a while. Your cousin went to the city to work as a worker, and she waited for him for four years. Later, your cousin got married in the city, and she married him."
Lin Yongnian waved his hand a little embarrassedly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. This is all in the past."
Second Uncle Lin said, "Back then, when your cousin went to work in the city, your Aunt Du often went to work at your uncle's house. She was so hardworking."
"So, uncle, is it because you met my aunt in the city that you no longer want Aunt Du?" Lin Dafu asked curiously.
Lin Yongnian picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He sighed and said, "I have failed her."
Uncle Lin said, "Taohua is a good woman. Your parents liked her very much back then and wanted you to go home and marry her. Who knew you would fall for Li Shuping in the city?"
"However, Shuping is a good girl. When your parents were sick, she came home and took care of them very attentively."
Lin Yongnian shook his head. Li Shuping was still no match for Taohua. If he really married Taohua, Taohua would still be able to give him children, manage the house in an orderly manner, serve him comfortably, take good care of his parents wholeheartedly, and would not divorce him.
Lin Yongsheng asked, "Brother, what do you mean by shaking your head?"
