Chapter 95 Unexpected Guests
Zhu Fugen quickly put down the things he brought and pulled Li Lan forward, "Uncle, this is my wife Li Lan. She has never been out of the village. This is the first time I take her on a long journey. She is timid."
Li Lan had her hair neatly braided into a pigtail and was wearing a large cotton-padded jacket and cropped cotton trousers with two large patches of similar pattern. It was obvious that the clothes were not new. The cotton shoes on her feet were also half-new, and looked like they had been worn for many years.
He stood there very stiffly, his eyes were a little evasive, and his voice was very soft when he called out to people.
Lin Yi just felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it. He nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the door was locked, Zhu Fugen asked nervously, "Is Uncle going out?"
Lin Yi sneered, "No, I don't live here now. I rented out the house. I came here to wait for my eldest daughter and son-in-law."
Zhu Fugen was greatly surprised, "Uncle moved?"
Lin Yi explained: "I moved to live with Aqin. The couple are busy and can't take care of the two children. I went there to help take care of the children. It's more lively than staying in the village."
"Is that so?" Zhu Fugen pursed his lips, his disappointment visible to the naked eye.
Lin Yi looked puzzled. "What's the matter? Just tell me what you need! I will do my best to help you."
When his wife was still alive, although the Zhu family was poor, every year when he and his wife returned to her parents' home, the Zhu family would always receive them warmly and never neglected him in terms of etiquette.
Zhu Fugen and Li Lan looked at each other, frowning. After thinking for a while, they said, "Now we don't have to work together. I want to bring Alan to the city to do odd jobs. I originally wanted to stay at my uncle's place for a few days and move out after finding a job. I didn't expect that my uncle had already rented out the house."
Lin Yi glanced at the silent Li Lan, and felt that Zhu Fugen was not telling the truth. However, he did not ask any more questions. He just said thoughtfully, "If you only want to stay for a few days, you can go to Aqin's place. The couple just built a house and have extra rooms for people to stay in."
Zhu Fugen was overjoyed, and his mood brightened up a lot. "I heard that my little cousin married a top student. It's really amazing that he built his own house at such a young age!"
Lin Yi's smile froze, and he said, "Aqin is divorced and didn't live with the previous one. The current one is a second marriage. She brought her daughter, and my son-in-law brought his son."
Zhu Fugen and Li Lan were both a little surprised.
His face turned red because of embarrassment.
At this time, Lin Ying, Xu Dahai and their two sons came and broke the awkward atmosphere.
When Lin Yi saw his two grandsons, he didn't care about anything else and walked up to them, hugged one with each hand and kissed them sweetly.
Zhu Fugen and Alan were envious.
Lin Ying put down her things and panted, "Dad, why are you closing the door? You don't want to welcome us! Isn't this my cousin? Your wife?"
Zhu Fugen quickly greeted Lin Ying and her husband, "I brought my wife out to find a job."
Lin Ying frowned, "Looking for work on the second day of the Lunar New Year? Don't you have to go back to your parents' home?"
Zhu Fugen explained vaguely, "Her parents' home is far away, and she has no place to live. It takes two or three days to go back and forth, so she just came out."
Lin Ying didn't ask any more questions and walked forward to open the door.
Lin Yi hurriedly stopped them, "Stop making trouble. This house is now rented to Jianqiang. I'm living with Aqin and Wenjun. I came here just to wait for you."
Lin Ying's heart sank, tears welled up in her eyes, "Dad! Why didn't you tell me if you were having a hard time in the village? If it really doesn't work out, I can take you to live with me! Aqin married a Tanka, so many people can live on that boat, how can it accommodate them?"
Lin Yi snorted unhappily, "Wenjun is capable. He bought land and built a house last year. We have not lived on the boat for a long time. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Ajian and Akang, get in the car. Grandpa will ride his bicycle to take you there."
Xu Dahai asked curiously, "Dad, where did you get the bicycle?"
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, everyone is busy visiting relatives. Who has an extra bicycle to lend out?
Lin Yi said proudly, "Wen Jun bought it for me to pick up my kids from school. I can ride it very well now!"
Xu Dahai was worried at first, but the two naughty boys were not afraid. They quickly climbed onto the bicycle and urged Lin Yi to hurry up.
The four adults were watching from behind, and when they saw that Lin Yi was riding very steadily, they kept silent.
The bicycle slowly rode all the way to Nanxi.
The few people who had never been here were all staring at the river curiously.
The two children have rushed to the water's edge to play in the water.
Lin Ying shouted, "If you dare to wet my clothes and shoes, I will beat your buttocks. If you don't believe me, try it!"
The two children stuck out their tongues and immediately stepped back.
Just then, Chen Wenjun came over in a metal boat.
Lin Yi quickly invited them to get on board.
It was the first time for Xu Dahai and his friends to ride on this kind of boat, and it was very novel.
Li Lan's face changed as soon as she got on the boat, and she even started to retch before reaching Nanyu.
Everyone on the boat was terrified.
Chen Wenjun hurriedly comforted him, "I think you are seasick. Just grit your teeth and hold on, and we will be there soon."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay." Zhu Fugen smiled apologetically and patted Li Lan on the back.
The iron boat soon arrived at Nanyu, and Zhu Fugen quickly helped Li Lan ashore.
Lin Ying also went up with her two children.
Lin Yi shouted twice at the door.
After a while, the gap door opened.
When Lin Qin saw Lin Ying's family, she smiled brightly, "Sister, brother-in-law, Ajian and Akang! I've been waiting for you to come!"
Xu Jian and Xu Kang called people obediently.
Lin Qin smiled more dotingly.
Then he looked at Zhu Fugen and exchanged a few words with them.
A group of people entered the gate.
Lin Ying and his wife and Zhu Fugen and his wife were both shocked by the big house in front of them.
"Did Wenjun build this?" Lin Ying's voice was trembling with excitement.
Lin Qin nodded with a smile, "It took me half a year to build it. How is it? Is it okay?"
Lin Ying joked exaggeratedly, "What do you mean it's just okay? It's great! We've never seen such a big and bright house in our place!"
The group entered the hall and looked at the exquisite tiles on the floor, not knowing where to put their feet.
Compared to the restraint of adults, children are much more comfortable and happy.
Lin Qin called out at the stairs, and Yaya and Ping'an came down hand in hand.
The two children were wearing new clothes. Lin Qin took Yaya to the barber shop and asked the proprietress to do her hair in a bun, which looked cute and delicate.
Lin Ying almost didn't recognize her at first glance, "Is this Yaya? Oh my God! She's so beautiful after not seeing her for half a year. Even my aunt couldn't recognize her!"
Yaya pulled Ping'an and ran to Lin Ying with a smile, and said crisply: "Aunt, I have changed my name to Chen Xinyue, and this is my brother Chen Ruiyu, whose nickname is Ping'an."
Lin Ying was more and more surprised. She glanced at Lin Qin subconsciously, but didn't say anything. She just praised the two children a lot and gave them red envelopes.
When Zhu Fugen saw it, he quickly gave the red envelopes he brought to the four children.
Lin Qin said a few polite words, then went back to the room and packed two packets for Xu Jian and Xu Kang.
