The arrival of Song Lei and his son just reminded Song Chen that many people were eyeing his family's property.
I had already made arrangements with Lao Jin, my cousin from my maternal family, and my second and third brothers early on, asking them to help look after my house and prevent anyone from sneaking in.
Fortunately, Lin Changchun was at home to watch over him.
He was reluctant to leave the orchard, although he also wanted to go there to reunite with his family, but between the two options, he chose the orchard.
Here he still has things to do and old friends, but if he goes there he won't be able to do anything and won't know anyone around him, so it must be very boring.
The last time he went there, he felt that Shanghai was not suitable for him to live in. It would be better to stay in his hometown where he knew everyone there.
Lin Changchun understands his own temperament.
Song Chen warned in advance: "Dad, after we leave, if anyone you don't like wants to come to our house, don't open the door. Don't bother with anyone's face. Just come as you please."
Lin Changchun smoked a leaf cigarette and said, "After you leave, I may not come back here for a week. The door is closed and no one can come in."
Li Xianglian reminded: "Come back when you're okay, otherwise the house will be emptied out and you won't even know it. Don't be stingy with food and drink at home, cook whatever you want. You're so lazy, don't starve to death at home when we're not around."
After spending most of their lives together, Li Xianglian had never seen him cook, and she was really worried that he would starve to death.
We asked him to go with us, but he refused, and kept saying that he couldn't adapt to the place.
I really admire this person.
Lin Changchun thought the old woman was just trying to make fun of him: "What are you talking about? I'm not a fool."
The following noodle association.
Li Xianglian muttered, "Who knows."
They are leaving the day after tomorrow, and they have been packing their luggage these past two days.
Basically they are just clothes and other things. You don’t need big items, you can just buy them there.
Now that I have decided to live there, I may come back less often in the future.
Li Xianglian thought: "I should sell this air conditioner and refrigerator. If no one uses them at home for a long time, they will break down."
Lin Changchun doesn't need that much when he's alone at home.
Song Chen: "I'll have the boss come pick up the air conditioner this afternoon."
He had already made arrangements with the owner of the home appliance store in advance.
"There's no need for the refrigerator. Dad is still at home, so keep it for him."
Lin Changchun shook his head: "I don't need that thing. Sell it all, including this TV."
He spends most of the day in the orchard. When they are there, he goes home to eat and watch the news. When they are not there, he has to guard the orchard in the middle of the night. There is no one to cook when he goes home, and he is definitely too lazy to come back, so he just eats something there.
Song Chen: "There's electricity in the orchard now. Let's move the TV over there. It's boring for you to stay alone."
Lin Changchun: "No, no, what if it gets stolen?"
A TV is expensive.
Song Chen: "There are so many people over there, who would be bold enough to go in and steal the TV?"
Lin Changchun waved his hand: "No, no, you must not take it."
Thieves are very rampant nowadays. They are better off safe than sorry. It's hundreds of dollars. What if it gets stolen? It's not worth it.
Song Chen: "If you don't want to move it, then leave it at home. You can check it whenever you get home. You can come back when it's not busy over there. There's no need to watch it every day. Tomorrow I'll hire two more people to take turns watching it with you."
He had this idea before, but Lin Changchun refused and insisted on doing it himself.
He has treated the orchard as his own business, and most men of his age here are still working in the fields. He cannot afford to retire and enjoy life, as he feels anxious.
At this moment, I was still trying hard to say: "No, I can do it alone."
Li Xianglian: "Okay, then I'll listen to Xiaochen and hire two more people to take turns guarding the TV. I won't sell it. You old man, your children miss you, don't be ungrateful, you're the reincarnation of a stubborn person, aren't you?"
Lin Changchun turned around and smoked a cigarette, no longer paying attention to Li Xianglian, the unreasonable person.
——
The second and third brothers also knew that Song Zikun and his son were coming. Everyone had the same attitude and didn't want to pay any attention to the shameless father and son.
Chen Meihua and Xu Zhaodi hated the eldest brother's family the most. As soon as they heard their names, they knew why they came here.
On Thursday night, thinking that he would leave the next day, Song Chen invited two families to come here for a meal.
We also talked about this matter during the period.
Chen Meihua rolled her eyes and said in a raised voice, "I heard that Song Zikun was fired from his factory. Hahahaha, he's so proud of himself, thinking he's so great. He only went to a crappy college, and he paid for his job."
Xu Zhaodi laughed so hard her body shook with laughter: "The last time they came over, didn't my eldest sister-in-law say that his daughter-in-law's family was very rich? Why, when he lost his job, instead of asking his father-in-law for help, he thought of his poor relatives back home?"
Yes, in the eyes of the old couple, their relatives are poor.
Back then, when Song Zikun got married, both families went to the wedding, thinking that they were still one family. (Song Chen didn't go, but that was right.)
They went there feeling very angry. The girl's relatives looked at them like beggars, and the couple didn't say a word for them.
Song Zidong: "Rich ass, I heard last time I delivered the goods that the girl's family is actually just good on the outside, but secretly they owe a lot of money. Her father and brother were taken to gamble and lost it all."
The money is gone, and the addiction comes.
Others don’t know this explosive news yet.
Upon hearing this, everyone jumped up and down like fleas in a melon field, urging Song Zidong to give more details.
Song Zidong shook his daughter, "That's all I heard. Her family seemed to be quite wealthy before, but then they were targeted. That father and son were really overconfident, thinking they were very capable. After gambling a few times, they became addicted, and now their family is no better than a broke family."
Xu Zhaodi: "Yeah, city people are just bad. They can't stand seeing others get rich."
Li Xianglian was still enjoying herself as she ate the melon: "They also have their own reasons. If they were like Xiao Chen, these things wouldn't have happened."
Chen Meihua agreed: "Exactly. If all men in the world were as self-aware as him, there wouldn't be so many heartbroken women."
Whenever this kind of segment happened, Song Chen felt quite embarrassed. He could accept being praised from behind, but it was a bit embarrassing to be praised in front of someone.
Fortunately, I have gotten used to it over the years and can keep a straight face.
Lin Lu poked him subtly with her leg, "Good man, I'm praising you."
Song Chen clamped her legs together: "Don't mess with me, don't you want to sleep well tonight?"
Lin Lu struggled a few times and pulled his foot out. "I don't understand, I don't understand."
