Chapter 227 Pick Up
Wang Shan finished her final exams in early July, and in a few days she would go to Shanghai with Teacher Guo to hold an exhibition. However, she didn’t need to worry about the exhibition, she just wanted to go there to broaden her horizons.
In the past, as soon as the summer vacation started, the old couple would rush back to their hometown to visit relatives and friends and urge their grandchildren to study hard. This year, they were not in a hurry to buy tickets to go back. Instead, they were busy going in and out every day.
Because the decoration of the house bought by Lin Hui has been completed, Zhou Mei plans to take her children to Pengcheng to live for a while and experience life in a big city.
Lin Hui bought a house in Taoyuanju, just like his two younger sisters. It had never been renovated before. Seeing that the labor costs and materials were getting more and more expensive, he took advantage of the fact that the prices were not too outrageous now and quickly found his eldest brother-in-law to ask him to help with the carpentry work on the house.
Out of consideration for his wife, Wang Xiuren put a lot of effort into decorating his brother-in-law's house. Not only did he save a lot of material and labor costs, he even hired someone to help clean the place after the renovation was completed.
After Lin Hui saw the ceiling and cabinets in the house, she was extremely grateful to Wang Xiuren.
Then he asked his parents and two younger sisters to help him choose furniture.
Originally, Lin Qiu and Lin Ping thought that the furniture should be selected by the hostess Zhou Mei herself.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Mei learned from Lin Hui what her two sisters-in-law were thinking, she called Lin Qiu and asked her and Lin Ping to help buy furniture, and transferred 30,000 yuan for buying furniture to her card that day.
Lin Qiu didn't expect Zhou Mei to trust him so much, so he had no choice but to drag Lin Hui, the host, along with his parents and sister, to go to the furniture store for a week.
After all the furniture and appliances were purchased, on the day of the wedding, Lin Qiu drove Lin Hui to the station to pick her up.
After Zhou Mei exited the station, she saw Lin Hui and Lin Qiu standing at the exit, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
After checking the tickets with her bags and bags, she and a few other children went straight to them.
"Qiuqiu, I feel so embarrassed to bother you to pick us up." Zhou Mei did not greet her husband, but instead spoke politely to Lin Qiu.
Several children also greeted her warmly, vying to call out "Auntie!" "Auntie!"
Lin Qiu smiled and said, "We are all family, so don't be so polite to me, sister-in-law. I thought you would bring a lot of things with you, so I came to take a look."
"We didn't bring anything." Zhou Mei's voice was a little vague.
Lin Qiu looked at the five people, including Zhou Mei. Each of them had a schoolbag on their backs and luggage bags in both hands, so they didn't even have time to say hello.
How can there be nothing here?
This is clearly moving!
But he was right, Lin Hui was moving to a new home.
Lin Hui took the two bags from her nephew, and then put the school bags of her nephew and niece on her shoulders. She lowered her head and asked the children, "Are you tired?"
Lin Rui and Lin Min were carrying light luggage, so they shook their heads in unison: "Not tired."
Lin Huan was an adult after all, and he had gained a lot of strength, so he didn't feel tired.
Only Lin Cong was considered by Zhou Mei as her own child, and he was a boy, so the two bags of luggage he carried looked very heavy. He felt like his hands were about to break. He really didn't understand why his mother had brought so many things, but he didn't dare to resist his mother's decision. He could only grunt and carry the things with all his might.
He felt like he was dying of exhaustion and wanted to complain to his father, but when he saw his sister and brother saying they weren't tired, he could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm not tired either!"
How can a real man easily complain about the hardship and tiredness?
Lin Cong silently brainwashed himself in his heart: I’m not tired, I’m not tired, I’m not tired at all.
Lin Hui nodded appreciatively. It’s important to have a big guy at home!
Seeing that his palms were red from being strangled, Lin Qiu quickly took the bag. Unexpectedly, the bag was quite heavy. She couldn't help but put some force on her hands, "What's in this bag? It's quite heavy."
Lin Cong did not participate in the packing and did not know the details, but he could not help but complain to his aunt: "My mom wants to move the whole family here. Dad has said that there is everything here and we can just buy whatever we need, but she still wants to bring everything here."
Although he lowered his voice, Zhou Mei followed him and could not help but hear it. She lowered her voice and cursed, "You don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are if you don't run the household! We have four mouths to feed and we all depend on your dad to make money. Your sister and you need to study, eat, wear and use things, so how can you not spend money?"
Although she also earned a salary at the prefabrication site, which was used for her family's living and social interactions, the rest and the money Lin Hui sent back every month were all saved by her.
Otherwise, how could you have the money to buy a house and renovate it?
Lin Hui admired her. She had money in her hands but never spent a penny carelessly. Although she lived frugally, she did not let her children suffer any loss.
He looked at his son who was lowering his head after being criticized by his wife, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Go back first, we'll talk when we get home!"
After finding a place to park, several people stuffed their luggage into the trunk as much as possible, but in the end they found that there were still three bags that could not fit in.
Lin Qiu couldn't help but sigh: "I really admire you for bringing so many things here from thousands of miles away."
Zhou Mei didn't bother to listen to her sister-in-law and circled around the car with the children.
It’s amazing!
Being able to buy a house in Pengcheng is already considered outstanding in the village. My sister-in-law not only has several houses, but she has even bought a car. It can be seen that the family is becoming more and more prosperous.
Then he looked at Lin Hui expectantly and said, "Huanhuan's father, let's save up some money and try to buy a car in two years. My requirements are not high, just a small van will do."
Lin Hui rolled her eyes quietly. Her wife's ideals were really ambitious! I just need to return the small van, I haven’t even bought the motorcycle yet!
Lin Hui is now thinking about buying a motorcycle so that she doesn’t have to take the bus when the weather is good.
"There are too many of us to fit in one car. Let's call a taxi. Then, big brother, you take Congcong and his two brothers in the taxi, and I'll take my sister-in-law and the two sisters."
Lin Qiu was about to wave, but Zhou Mei quickly pulled him back, "Qiuqiu, we can just squeeze in, there's no need to call for a taxi."
Zhou Mei looked like she was saving money for herself, which made Lin Qiu laugh and cry. "Sister-in-law, my car can only seat five people, including me. It cannot be overloaded. Overloading will result in penalty points and fines."
"Ah? I saw that small van in town had more than ten people crammed in it." Zhou Mei's eyes widened. It seemed that there were more rules in the city.
Lin Huan also took the opportunity to say to Zhou Mei: "Mom, overloading is not only illegal, but also very unsafe. Don't be greedy and squeeze into overloaded cars in your hometown!"
Is it still illegal?
Zhou Mei turned her eyes away feeling somewhat guilty and decided not to squeeze into a van again. She couldn't do anything illegal.
Lin Qiu and Lin Huan pretended not to notice her guilty look. After the taxi came, they arranged for a few people to get in the car and drove directly to Taoyuanju.
