Chapter 309 Extra 25
"Grandma, you are so awesome!" Little Moon couldn't help but give Lin Qiu a thumbs up.
"That's nothing. Let me tell you, the most amazing thing about your grandmother is her vision!" Wang Xiuren has admired his wife for most of his life.
"Grandpa, tell me something!" Little Moon shook Grandpa's sleeve.
Yan's father and mother also looked at their father-in-law with interest.
Wang Xiuren picked up the cup pretentiously, took a sip of tea, and then spoke slowly: "In the early 1990s, the housing prices in Pengcheng had not risen yet, but they were still sky-high for migrant workers like us. Your grandmother was determined to buy a house at the time, and I couldn't persuade her, so I had to agree. In this way, relying on the money saved from running a newsstand, selling popsicles, and selling Spring Festival couplets, plus the 30,000 yuan borrowed from the boss, we bought our first house in Pengcheng, which was..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang Shan couldn't help but interrupt: "Splendid Garden!"
"Yes, Jinxiu Garden. We lived there for many years." Wang Xiuren nodded. "Then we continued to accumulate capital and bought the second and third houses..."
After speaking for a long time, his mouth felt a little dry, so he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea.
"Buying these houses is actually nothing. The most amazing thing about your grandmother is that when the real estate market crashed or everyone was pessimistic, she would do the opposite and buy at low prices. Then within a year or two, the house prices would go up."
"Grandma, do you have a golden finger?" Little Moon looked at Lin Qiu with sparkling eyes.
Lin Qiu smiled and replied: "Yes, I have a golden finger that can turn stone into gold!"
Everyone burst into laughter instantly, treating her words as a joke.
Only Lin Qiu knew that she was actually telling the truth. To live again in this life, isn’t that a golden finger?
Although she cannot create great achievements like the protagonists in TV dramas or novels, her current life is the result of her own steps, and she is very satisfied with her current life.
It can be said that she has no regrets in her life.
This year, everyone agreed before the New Year that each family would have a small reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Day everyone would worship their ancestors and pay New Year's greetings to every household in the village one by one. On the second day of the New Year, everyone would return to the old house in Linguan for a big reunion.
The old house was demolished and rebuilt by Lin Hui many years ago, and the two-story red brick house was turned into a three-story Western-style building.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone got up early, packed up, and headed to the Linguan old house.
Along the way, I met many acquaintances and we all wished each other a Happy New Year.
When we arrived at the old house, everyone greeted each other.
The children were playing in the yard while the adults were sitting around chatting.
At noon, a sumptuous meal was prepared and placed on the table by several children of Lin Huan's generation.
Led by head of the family Lin Hui, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
After eating and drinking, the adults sat in the yard to bask in the sun, while the children clamored to play with firecrackers.
Lin Qiu looked at his great-grandchildren having fun and smiled with satisfaction. He never expected that he would be able to have four generations living under the same roof.
Not long after, the sound of a child crying was heard.
Lin Qiu followed the crying sound and found that it was Yangyang lying in Lin Cong's arms crying out of breath.
Lin Ye stood aside with a ruler in his hand and a sullen face.
"What's going on?" Lin Qiu asked, "It's New Year's Day, but I don't like big kids. If there's anything, just talk to the kids and reason with them."
"Aunt, you don't know what this guy did. He's pissed me off to death." Lin Ye was so angry that veins on his forehead popped out.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh. It's New Year's Day, we can't say unlucky words." Lin Qiu gently patted his nephew's hand.
"This guy doesn't want to play with his brothers and sisters. Instead, he wants to play with his cell phone. If I don't give him the phone, he will lie on the ground and act like a spoiled child. I don't know who he learned this from." Lin Ye was furious when he thought of his son's behavior just now.
After hearing what Lin Ye said, Lin Qiu couldn't help laughing, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Lin Qiu turned to Lin Ye and said, "It's the nature of children to love playing. Besides, he must want to play with your phone because he sees you guys playing with it often, so he's curious. You can try to set a time limit for him, for example, he can only play for half an hour a day. This will satisfy his curiosity without affecting his learning and growth."
"We've been playing for almost an hour today. But he still wants to play and won't listen to anything I say." Lin Ye didn't know what to do, so he took action in desperation.
"That won't do! We can't let Yangyang get addicted to his phone."
Lin Cong wiped the tears and snot from his grandson's face with a tissue. "It's his grandmother and I who are to blame. Sometimes he yells for a cell phone to play with, so we give it to him."
In fact, I also thought that it would be pitiful for the child to be without a mother at such a young age, so I couldn't help but spoil him a little.
"Congcong, this won't do! You should understand that spoiling a child is like killing him." Lin Qiu looked at his nephew with gray hair on his temples with disapproval.
"This is my fault!" Lin Cong bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Do you still remember that you were addicted to computer when you were a kid?" Lin Qiu reminded.
"Remember, remember. I'll never forget it in my life." Lin Cong still feels scared when he thinks of the past.
"Then I'll treat Yangyang and see if it works."
At this time, Lin Qiu took out a cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Yangyang, saying, "Be good, Yangyang, don't cry. Auntie will give you a cell phone to play with."
Yangyang took the phone and burst into laughter.
"But let me make it clear in advance, since you like playing with your phone, you have to keep playing with it today."
Yangyang didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
Lin Ye wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Lin Cong with his eyes.
Lin Cong looked at Yangyang with pity and said, "My dear grandson, it's for your own good that grandpa didn't stop you."
Yangyang was sitting on the sofa, happily playing with his phone, while Lin Qiu was sitting beside him watching him play.
Lin Ye didn't know what the aunt was keeping in suspense, but since it concerned his son, he stayed by her side.
When her cell phone ran out of battery, she asked Lin Ye to bring the charging cable so that Yangyang could play while charging.
While playing, Yangyang felt a little sleepy. As soon as his eyelids drooped, he was woken up by Lin Qiu.
She reminded him with a smile: "Yangyang, you can't sleep. You said you wanted to play with your phone."
Yangyang perked up and continued to swipe his fingers across the phone screen.
But soon, he couldn't hold on any longer, and Lin Qiu woke him up mercilessly and made him play while standing.
Yangyang pursed his lips and looked at his great aunt with tears in his eyes, but Lin Qiu gently shook his head, "Yangyang said that he wanted to play with his phone all the time."
Yangyang couldn't help but burst into tears.
But Lin Qiu let him cry.
The crying attracted all the family members. Lin Cong's wife saw that he was crying pitifully and wanted to come over to comfort him, but was held back by Lin Cong.
The other people in the house kept silent and watched.
When Yangyang was tired of crying and stopped, Lin Qiu pushed his water bottle to him and said, "Drink some water first, then continue playing with your phone. Don't you like playing with your phone? Your great aunt will let you play as much as you want."
Seeing that no one was helping him, Yangyang could only finish drinking the water while sobbing and continued to pick up his phone.
As her fingers stroked, tears fell.
"Will you still play with your mobile phone in the future?" Lin Qiu asked when he saw that he could not hold on any longer.
"No more playing, no more playing, I won't play anymore!" Yangyang cried and threw the phone aside.
"Really?"
"real!"
"Okay then, I'll write down the remaining time this time. If you want to play again next time, I'll add the time to it so you can play to your heart's content!"
Yang Yang shook his head vigorously, "No more playing, I don't want to play anymore."
Then he threw himself into Lin Ye's arms, "Dad, I don't want to play with my phone anymore."
"Okay, then you have to remember it!" Lin Ye wiped his tears and snot.
"Um."
"Have some water."
"Dad, my eyes hurt."
"You deserve it! Who told you to play with your phone? Now you know that playing with your phone is bad for your eyes, right?"
"knew!"
…
Lin Ye looked at his aunt gratefully.
Lin Qiu smiled and waved his hands, not taking it seriously.
This is just the beginning. His grandfather was just as miserable back then!
