The people here have a different understanding from those over there.
They think that as long as they accept gifts, you have to help them in the future, instead of offering sincere congratulations. They just want to find a similar backup.
Maybe this is a normal phenomenon of undeveloped thoughts and cognition?
After seeing off the last guest, the Lin family was almost exhausted.
But although I was tired, I was happy in my heart. Apart from my physical condition, I felt very good in spirits.
......
"My Lin family's ancestors are really blessed."
On the way home, Mr. Lin kept muttering.
Mrs. Lin likes to argue with him now. When she heard him say this, she immediately said:
"The smoke started coming out of your Lin family more than ten years ago, but you put it out with a bowl of water."
Old Mrs. Lin was talking about the imperial examination more than ten years ago. Because she had no family support, Lin Anru borrowed money from the entire village and took the exam once, but failed.
At that time, Doctor Liu said that if Lin Anru tried again, the chances of passing the exam the second time would be very high.
However, Mr. Lin did not support it.
Lin Anru wanted to borrow money again, but he had no money to lend him.
The scientific expedition was delayed for more than ten years.
Mr. Lin obviously knew what Mrs. Lin was talking about, so he remained silent.
Even the little bit of joy that had just appeared was silenced.
Although Mrs. Lin said this about Mr. Lin, she knew in her heart that he was not to blame.
At that time, the family had not yet split up and there were four half-grown children in the family, who were at the age when they could eat the most.
At that time, the family’s financial situation was not enough to feed the children, the best we could do was just to keep them from going hungry.
Want to read?
Disaster.
That's wishful thinking.
The money invested in studying is not something that an ordinary family can afford. Even though they know that Lin Anru is talented and has the subsidy from Doctor Liu, their family still cannot afford it.
So when Mr. Lin strongly opposed San'er's study, she did not try to persuade him much.
The family conditions are such that they really can't afford it.
This must be the sorrow of poor families.
Mrs. Lin's words caused the two of them to remain silent before they got home.
In fact, it’s not really Mr. Lin’s fault. Mrs. Lin also felt that she had gone too far.
"We didn't have the conditions more than ten years ago. Let it be the past now that it's over." When they got home, Old Mrs. Lin spoke.
Mr. Lin didn't say anything, just mumbled "hmm".
"Now that our family is well off and we don't have a few children to burden us, how long you want the ancestral grave to last depends on what you do."
After saying this, Old Mrs. Lin went back to her room.
After the family split up, the two of them slept in separate rooms, with the main principle being out of sight, out of mind.
Mr. Lin didn't go back to the house. He sat on a chair in the lobby and thought for a long time.
......
The second day.
Even more people came to the third branch of the Lin family to congratulate them.
It only took Liu half a day to go from being nervous about receiving guests to being able to do it with ease.
In the past, she met few people and she preferred to stay at home and spend time with her husband and children.
When she really had to face it, she found that getting along with outsiders was not that difficult.
Of course, it would be better if the guests who come over can speak more quietly and use more polite words.
Lin Anru achieved fame and honor, which was a rare happy event in Yamada Village.
Sweep away the negative emotions from the previous locust plague.
There is a feeling that the person who has achieved fame and fortune is not you, but you are happier than others.
After Liu sent away all the guests for the day, she rarely showed any signs of fatigue.
She was so excited yesterday that she didn't feel tired at all.
The excitement of today has worn off a bit, and I feel tired before it even gets dark.
"There won't be so many people coming tomorrow, right?"
Lin Boyu thought about the scenes at home over the past two days and felt extremely unhappy.
There was nothing special about those people coming over, they just kept praising his family from head to toe, from his father to them.
He hadn't even met those people, but they could still tell him a lot about their family. Lin Boyu felt that what he said was fake and disgusting.
"Probably not." Lin Shiyu said.
Almost everyone I should meet has been met, except for those distant relatives who haven't heard the news yet.
But we are relatives, so it’s better to be more comfortable with them than with people I’ve never met.
"Mom, take a rest for a while. I'll make you a medicinal bath later. I guarantee you'll be full of energy tomorrow."
Liu really couldn't hold on any longer, so she obediently went to the bed to rest for a while.
Lin Shiyu woke her up only after she had boiled the medicine.
In order to help Liu get better, a large bathtub was specially made for her to take a bath.
This is the first time I use it.
"I saw you had this big barrel built earlier, and I was wondering what it was for. Turns out it's for me to bathe in!"
While soaking in the medicine barrel, Liu felt what "luxury" meant for the first time.
The medicinal bath is very effective.
Before the water temperature cooled down, Liu fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bathtub.
While Lin Shiyu was still thinking about how to get Liu out, Lin Anru arrived home.
"Dad, Mom fell asleep while taking a bath. I can't wake her up. Please take her out quickly."
After arriving home, his daughter ordered him to carry someone out before his butt even touched the stool.
When he opened the door and saw Liu in the medicine barrel, he was stunned.
When he realized what was happening, he immediately closed and locked the door.
Lin Boyu and Lin Shiyu were waiting outside the door for their father to come out and talk, but they didn't see him for a long time, so they had no choice but to go back to their rooms to sleep.
…
When Liu woke up and saw Lin Anru, she thought she was dreaming.
After confirming again and again that she was not dreaming, her little face turned red.
last night.......
"woke up?"
How could Lin Anru sleep under the fiery gaze of his wife?
"woke up."
"Sleep a little longer?"
Liu shook her head, and the next moment she was pulled into Lin Anru's arms.
A huge brewing activity began to stir in the quiet morning.
==ε=ε=ε=┌(；?＿?)┘===
Lin Boyu's wish of having fewer guests today was shattered.
When the living Lin Anru stood at the door of her house, the guest who had come once before came again.
The only difference between the guests this time was that those people were surrounding them, but this time they were only surrounding his father.
"Put away the gloating expression on your face, Daddy is calling you over!"
Lin Shiyu went over to remind Lin Boyu who was still grinning foolishly.
Looking at Lin Anru who was surrounded by the crowd, Lin Boyu was absolutely unwilling to go over.
But how can I not go over there?
As the pillar of the family who has not yet grown up, Lin Anru, who has grown into a big tree, has the responsibility and obligation to teach him life lessons.
The way to deal with the world.
