"Xu Zhiwei, you are standing on a chair and watching the excitement in my house again. Why are you so gossipy?" Lin Qingmei waved her fist at Xu Zhiwei.
Xu Zhiwei didn't care about Lin Qingmei's threat at all. He took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket. "Lin Zheng, don't cry. Your second sister didn't forget you on purpose. I caught a big bass today. I'll make you a delicious meal tonight."
When Lin Zheng heard that there was grilled fish to eat, he stopped crying immediately and looked at Xu Zhiwei with sparkling eyes. "Brother Zhiwei, you are so nice. Unlike my second sister, she gave me ginger candy even though she knew I didn't like the taste of ginger."
Lin Qingmei didn't expect that Lin Zheng would be coaxed by a meal of grilled fish. It was hard for her to treat him badly. There was always meat at home, so why was he so greedy? "If you want to eat grilled fish, you can tell me, and I can make it for you."
"You are so busy all the time, how can you find time to go fishing. If I want to eat, I can just go find Brother Zhiwei. I don't eat much anyway." Lin Zheng glanced at Lin Qingmei cautiously. I thought his second sister would not be angry if he said that!
Lin Qingmei felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. She really didn't like Lin Zheng very much, so she ignored his preferences.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiwei smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Comrade Lin, Lin Zheng also feels sorry for you. After all, you work very hard."
"Xu Zhiwei, I found that you seem to like Lin Zheng very much." Lin Qingmei looked at the two of them getting along so harmoniously, and she had an idea in her heart.
She often has to go out. If she lets Xu Zhiwei come to take care of Lin Zheng, then she won’t have anything to worry about, right?
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She looked at Xu Zhiwei deeply. He shouldn't object, right?
"I like it! Lin Zheng is so cute! He is much more sensible than my older nephews."
"Then how about you eat with us in the future? I only have one request, that is, you come and take care of him when I am on a business trip or away from home." As for whether Xu Zhiwei had enough food, Lin Qingmei didn't care at all, she was not short of that little food.
As long as she can make proper arrangements for Lin Zheng, she can make more than this money by going on a long trip.
"Of course! But I don't have much money. The food in your house is so good. Aren't you afraid of being at a disadvantage?" Xu Zhiwei was not a shy person. He stated his conditions openly. As long as Lin Qingmei didn't feel that she was at a disadvantage, it would be fine.
"It's okay. If you don't have money, you can use labor to make up for it. Lin Zheng's grades are so bad, so he just needs a tutor."
It was decided that Xu Zhiwei and Lin Qingmei would team up together. That night, Xu Zhiwei came to the Lin family with food and fish.
On the other side, after Lin Qinglan finished the call, she wandered around the county town. She passed by a bookstore and remembered that Lin Qingmei liked reading, so she walked in.
After selecting and choosing, I bought a few picture books suitable for Lin Zheng to read, and also bought a few books about breeding, planning to send them back to Lin Qingmei and the others.
After sending the book, Lin Qinglan came to the department store again.
It has been a while since she came back to the Northeast, and she has never been back to visit her old neighbors.
When she first crossed over, it was Aunt Peng who took care of her in the hospital.
Last year she returned to her hometown in such a hurry that I didn't have the chance to thank her properly.
She planned to take advantage of this vacation to go back and visit Aunt Peng and Hammer.
Lin Qinglan bought a pound of fruit candy and half a pound of brown sugar at the department store. Later she wanted to buy some fruit, but it was only April and the department store had no fruit for sale.
This era is different from the later ones. In the later ones, you can still buy a lot of fruits now.
The south is still better. If she could go to Linjia Bay now, she could ask Lin Qingmei to use her wood-related ability to get some lychees for her to eat, and she would be craving for lychees all day.
On the way back to the military camp, Lin Qinglan did not wait for the military supply vehicle and had to walk back.
It was already past two in the afternoon when she returned to the family compound. She had only eaten two steamed buns for lunch, and she was already starving at this point.
Aunt Peng and Hammer were very happy to see Lin Qinglan. They had heard that Lin Qinglan had returned to Northeast China, but they hadn't seen her for a long time.
Aunt Peng stepped forward and held Lin Qinglan's hand. She had been training very hard recently and had become much darker. "Qinglan, I thought you would never come back to the family compound."
"How could that be? I grew up here since I was a child, and this place is half of my home. Hammer, why are you so shy after not seeing you for a while? I bought you some fruit candies, come and get them quickly, and share some with your sister." Lin Qinglan waved at Hammer, then handed him the fruit candies wrapped in oil paper.
In addition to Hammer, Aunt Peng also has a four-year-old granddaughter. Before Lin Qinglan and Lin Zheng left the family compound, Hammer often brought his sister to play with Lin Zheng.
"Thank you, Sister Qinglan." Chui Zi took the candy and ran out. He was worried that if he ran too late, the candy in his hand would be taken away by his grandmother.
Aunt Peng looked at Hammer's back and scolded him with a smile: "Why are you running so fast, kid? I'm not going to steal your things."
"Grandma Peng, it's good that Hammer is like this. My Lin Zheng is just too quiet." Lin Qinglan really thinks Hammer is good like this, unlike Lin Zheng who is always too "sensible".
Maybe it was due to his bad family environment, Lin Zheng never smiled so happily and would never say what he wanted.
"Alas! It's all that woman Yao Yanfang's fault. Lin Zheng is such a pitiful child." Aunt Peng really hated Yao Yanfang now. It was the first time she saw someone abandoning a child just a few days after her husband died.
I don't know if she was out of her mind, she abandoned her own child and actually went to take care of someone else's family.
The teacher Peng that Yao Yanfang married was not from a good family. His wife was exhausted at first, but no one knew about it until now.
When Lin Qinglan heard Aunt Peng mention Yao Yanfang, her eyes darkened.
It still makes people feel chilled to hear what Yao Yanfang did to her. But now it has passed, she has joined the army, Lin Zheng has returned to his hometown to work, everything is over.
"Grandma Peng, let's not talk about the past. Lin Zheng is living a good life now, and my sister and I will take good care of him." Lin Qinglan didn't want to know about Yao Yanfang's affairs. Whether she was rich or poor in the future had nothing to do with her.
