The village chief placed the child directly at Lin Lao Er's wife's house and sternly told her family, "Tell her that if she doesn't want the child, she's committing the crime of abandonment and will go to jail!"
When Lin Lao Er's wife's biological mother heard this, she turned pale with fright and immediately left the child at home!
As for how the child is doing at his maternal grandmother's house, Lin Li doesn't care, as long as he doesn't bother her!
Shenzhen
Lin Li and Lin Laosan were carrying their belongings off the bus when Lin Laosan stood still at the entrance of the residential area and became timid and hesitant.
The security guard stood at the entrance of the residential area, his hands behind his back, his standard military posture was extremely impressive!
The residential area is filled with brand-new high-rise buildings. Looking through the iron railings, you can see that the area is full of flowers, trees, and plants, and the environment is very beautiful!
Among the people coming and going in the community, everyone was well-dressed, smiling, and behaving elegantly.
Looking at the slightly worn blue cotton-padded coat and the travel-worn appearance, Lin Laosan secretly tugged at Lin Li's sleeve.
"Mom, do you live here in Shenzhen?"
Seeing Lin Laosan's timid and hesitant appearance, Lin Li angrily punched him in the back a few times. "Stand up straight! What are you doing, hunching over like that?"
After being beaten, Lin Laosan immediately straightened his back. No matter how worried or scared he was, he couldn't let his mother down.
Seeing Lin Laosan standing ramrod straight, Lin Li finally let him go. "I told you to wear the clothes I brought home for you. You said this outfit was fine. Now you know how embarrassed you are, right?"
Lin Laosan gave Lin Li a smirk.
He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come inside with me. Let the security guards recognize you, so you won't be unable to go home later!"
"Hey!~~~" Lin Laosan's voice rose with joy at the end!
"Hello! I am the owner of apartment 03 on the 5th floor of building 3. This is my son, who will be living with me."
"Okay, homeowner, I've completed the registration!"
Sitting in the security room, the security captain gave the two a professional smile, politely opened the door, and let them into the community.
"Wow! Mom, this place is absolutely gorgeous!"
"Mom, look! There's even a little garden here!"
"Mom, the buildings here are so tall and beautiful, much nicer than the employee housing allocated to us by our work unit!"
"mom!"
...
Throughout the journey, Lin Laosan kept exclaiming in amazement! He was amazed by the neighborhood, amazed by the flowers and plants, and amazed by the tidy stairwells!
At first, Lin Li would answer him a few times, but later she would walk quickly home.
I took out my key, opened the door, and dragged my suitcase inside before letting out a long sigh of relief.
"The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. I'll live in the master bedroom, you'll live in the second bedroom, this is the study, and this is the kitchen and balcony. Please feel free to tour around. I'm going back to my room to take a shower first!"
After a few words of introduction, Lin Li took her suitcase and went straight back to the master bedroom.
I took out my loungewear from the closet, opened the bathroom door in the master bedroom, and went in to take a shower. I had been on the train for several days and felt like I was going to smell bad.
Lin Laosan stood at the entrance, hesitating for a long time, before finally imitating Lin Li and changing his canvas shoes into cotton slippers placed at the door.
Shenzhen is located in a subtropical marine climate zone, and the temperature after the Spring Festival can sometimes reach the teens, which is much warmer than my hometown!
Wearing a cotton-padded coat, Lin Laosan took it off, wiped the sweat from his face, and curiously began to tour this modern and beautiful home.
Right next to the entryway, there was a long, brown glass table, and the small room on the right must be the kitchen that Mom was talking about earlier.
The kitchen here is very different from the earthen stove in my hometown.
This stove uses liquefied petroleum gas.
The entire stove is placed directly on the kitchen countertop. The built-in design is more aesthetically pleasing, saves more space, is easier to clean, and matches the overall kitchen decor perfectly.
Lin Laosan touched the clean and tidy stove and kitchen cabinets, and was secretly amazed!
Turning my head, I saw a 'Wanbao' refrigerator placed next to me.
Good heavens! Is this a refrigerator?
Lin Laosan's eyes lit up. This was the refrigerator everyone was talking about, the kind that could freeze food and make popsicles in the summer.
Lin Li had just finished showering and was about to plug in the appliances when she saw Lin Laosan standing by the refrigerator, touching it repeatedly!
"When I went back, I unplugged all the appliances. Now that I'm back, I can just plug them in!"
After saying that, he picked up the plug and plugged it into the socket.
"Okay, let me introduce you!"
Lin Li led Lin Laosan, who looked like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, to the living balcony.
"This is a washing machine. You can put your dirty clothes in and let it wash them. Next to it is the laundry detergent. You need to pour the laundry detergent in to get your clothes clean."
As she spoke, she threw her clothes in, saying, "Bring your coat over too, and put it in to wash together."
"Alright!"
Lin Laosan took his blue cotton-padded coat to the balcony and threw it in, just like Lin Li had done.
Then I watched as she picked up the laundry detergent that was placed next to her, poured it in, started the washing machine, and saw it automatically start washing clothes.
How amazing!
Lin Laosan stared in disbelief, feeling that he had seen more strange things today than he had in the previous twenty-odd years.
"After it's washed, take the clothes out and hang them here to dry." Lin Li pointed to the clothesline. "Oh, and remember, wash underwear and socks separately, okay?"
After hearing this, Boss Lin quickly nodded!
After showing him around the room, Lin Li led him to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"It's too bright today. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. Shenzhen is under construction everywhere and changing very quickly."
Lin Laosan is now filled with curiosity about everything here, as if he has opened the door to a new world.
“Some things in Shenzhen can be bought without coupons now, but most things still require coupons, so you should still bring your food coupons and money when you go out.”
"Mom, I finally understand why you insisted on coming to Shenzhen. It's so much better here than our hometown!"
Looking out the window at the residential area, Lin Laosan sighed.
"Shenzhen has its advantages, and my hometown has its advantages too! I will still go back to my hometown to retire in the future!"
Lin Li patted his hand, "Do you want to take a shower first or eat first?"
Lin Laosan sniffed the sour smell emanating from his body and said, "I'll take a shower first!"
Lin Li took him to the public restroom, taught him how to shower, and then went to the kitchen, took out some fruits and vegetables from the space, and put them in the refrigerator.
Then I quickly swept the room clean. It had been almost a month since I left, and the house was covered in dust.
Lin Li, who is a bit of a clean freak, likes her home to be bright, clean, and tidy!
After taking a shower, Lin Laosan saw her cleaning and automatically picked up a mop to join in.
The mother and son were busy until evening.
