Chapter 62 The whole family likes the watch...
Chapter 62
Lin Mujin instructed her cousin Lin to make oyster sauce.
Cousin Lin and Lin Muli retired after completing their mission.
"Sister, fill a large pot with water. Pour in the water you used to wash the oysters. Discard the base. Add the cleaned oyster shells and simmer over medium heat for an hour and a half. It's a bit long, so just check on the cooking process every once in a while. Sister, let's go back to the house and keep the accounts and divide the money."
Cousin Lin was a little worried about the pot, but she was still pulled away.
"Sister, today's sales are not as much as yesterday's. It's only 3,222 dollars." Cousin Lin sighed after saying this.
Lin Mujin wanted to say, "Sister, do you know what you are talking about?" And only...
My cousin is a little bit dizzy!
Before she could pour cold water on him, Cousin Lin continued, "Half is 1,611 yuan, and the refrigerator is 1,400 yuan, so the total is 2,511 yuan, right?"
Lin Mujin nodded, "That's right."
"Huh?"
Lin Mujin reached out her hand to take the money, but her cousin Lin grabbed her hand and asked, "Is this watch?"
Lin Mujin raised her right eyebrow and realized that she had put it on specially when she returned to the room.
I was a little reluctant to pick it up when I was cooking.
"I just bought it. It looks great! Dad and brother, take a look."
Uncle Lin praised, "It looks great!"
Cousin Lin has a few more words, "It makes you look whiter when you wear it."
Cousin Lin didn't even bother to share the money. She just held her hand and moved it left and right to get a better look.
"How much?"
Lin Mujin replied, "Three hundred and sixty yuan."
Cousin Lin's eyes sparkled. She could accept the price. "Where did you buy it? What brand?"
At this time, Lin Muli, who was reading a book at the dining table, also came over. "Sister, let me see."
Lin Mujin's hand was snatched away again.
Just when Lin Muli was about to pick it and try it himself, Lin Mujin slapped it away.
"It's in the largest watch world on the second floor of the underground mall. It's Shanghai brand."
This was obviously a response to Cousin Lin.
Then he turned around and went back into the house, and soon came back with an exquisite bag.
Handed it to Cousin Lin, "Sister, open it and take a look."
Cousin Lin was a little confused. "What?"
He reached in and pulled out a watch box.
"This? It's a watch box."
Then came the second, third, and fourth.
"this…?"
Lin Muli was the quickest. While others were still hesitating, he quickly picked up one and opened it.
"Wow! It's a watch."
Wear it directly on your hand.
At this time, Cousin Lin also opened a watch box, which contained a men's watch with a large dial.
Lin Mujin grabbed Lin Muli and said, "This is not yours."
Lin Muli reacted quickly, "Really mine?! Which one?"
Finally, all four watch boxes were opened.
Cousin Lin found hers accurately. "Is this mine? Sister, are ours the same?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "Yes, I spent quite a while picking it out. Do you like it, sister?"
Cousin Lin nodded excitedly, "I like it, I like it."
I put it on immediately.
Lin Mujin also looked around and said, "The strap still fits well. It shouldn't need to be adjusted."
Lin Muli couldn't wait any longer, "Sister, which one is mine?"
Lin Mujin pointed to him and said, "These two belong to uncle and brother, and this one is yours."
Then he said to the uncle and the others, "Uncle, brother, stop standing there and just try it on. I have agreed with the boss that the length of the strap can be adjusted for free."
He went back into the house and took out two leather watch straps, "If anyone likes them, they are also gifts from the boss."
Cousin Lin waved his hand and said, "I don't need it. If I like it in the future, I can make it myself (belt)."
Lin Mujin complained, it’s great to have skills!
Uncle Lin didn't want it either. "I'm not that old. Belts are for young people."
Lin Mujin really doesn’t know, is that true?
No one wanted the belt for a while, so she had to put it away again.
Then lock it in the drawer again so that if anyone changes their mind or the strap breaks, they can have a replacement.
When she came back, Cousin Lin stopped her and asked, "Sister, how much did it cost in total?"
Lin Mujin pointed at the watches on everyone's wrists and quoted prices one by one, "Three hundred and eight, three hundred and eight, three hundred and five, three hundred and six."
Cousin Lin started to calculate, "The total is..." and got stuck again.
Lin Muli calculated quickly, "One thousand eight hundred and thirty yuan."
Cousin Lin quickly wrote it down in her notebook, "Sister, I'll write it down first. I'll give you the money in a few days. After I pay you back, there won't be much left for the refrigerator."
There's quite a big difference.
Lin Mujin understood that Cousin Lin was referring to the 30% of public funds. "I won't need it this time. The main reason is that the newspaper suddenly gave me a reprint fee of 6,000 yuan. It's a windfall, so I'm sharing it with everyone."
This is called sharing the blessings.
Cousin Lin refused, "How can that be? We agreed that all purchases for the house would come from the 30%."
Uncle Lin also said, "That six thousand was not a windfall, it was written by you one by one."
Cousin Lin even took out the money directly, but Lin Mujin naturally refused to accept it.
In the end, he could only obey, "Okay, okay, keep the account, keep the account."
She won’t talk about the clothes and hats. Let’s see when they can find them. It will be a little surprise.
——————
Lin Mujin reminded her cousin Lin not to forget the pot of oyster shells boiling in the kitchen, and then she went back to the house to write her novel.
But he was stopped by his cousin Lin, "Ah Jin, have you forgotten something?"
Lin Mujin's mind flashed with the image of Zhu Rongrong. Could it be that Cousin Lin knew that she had met Zhu Rongrong? Impossible!
What else is there?
Cousin Lin raised his palm upwards.
Lin Mujin even wanted to pick up a coin and put it on.
Cousin Lin reminded, "Drawings."
"Ah? Oh, I forgot, I haven't drawn it yet. I'll give it to you tomorrow." Lin Mujin scratched his head in embarrassment.
She was shopping for clothes and watches today and was so excited that she put the drawing aside.
Cousin Lin interrupted, "What drawings?"
Lin Mujin explained, "I want two bags. I'll draw the pictures myself and ask my brother to make them for me."
Cousin Lin immediately said, "I want one too!"
Then he stared at Cousin Lin closely.
What could Cousin Lin do? He quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
Lin Mujin is not opposed to using the same watch as her cousin, otherwise she would not buy the same style of watch.
But I still reminded him, "Sister, Brother has to buy calfskin."
Cousin Lin understood immediately, "Brother, come to me to settle the bill after you finish shopping."
Cousin Lin joked, "What's the point of reporting the expenses? I don't have any money."
Cousin Lin was unconvinced, "How could you be so short of money if it wasn't for something big like a refrigerator or a watch?"
After realizing that he had said something wrong, he quickly tried to make amends, "Sister, I don't blame you!"
Lin Mujin waved her hands, looking very indifferent. She understood what her cousin Lin was thinking.
The amount on the account increased little by little, and suddenly it was all gone. Even if the refrigerator was useful and the watch was nice, I would still feel sad.
Even if the money is public funds.
