Chapter 387: A man with a good memory, settling accounts
Getting the man's long gaze, looking at his eyes as clear and deep as a cold pond, is full of persistence.
Lin Yiyi raised her hand and gently stroked Zhao Sheng's eyebrows, trying to cover up the hunting-like cruel light in his eyes. In fact, she had long known that bad guys had character flaws, but the man's emotional flaws seemed to be more serious than she imagined.
Zhao Sheng has an extremely high IQ and extremely detailed observation skills. Faced with such a man, one can only give him constant affirmation and comfort, as well as the desire and preference that he wants but never says out loud.
Apart from that, he doesn't need anything and will never allow anyone to get close to him.
"Have you forgotten what I said before? Every part of your body belongs to me. You must protect it for me. We will always be together like this."
Lin Yiyi looked up at him, gave him a slightly sickly smile, and spoke softly and gently with soothing power.
Zhao Sheng nodded his chin slightly, warmth appeared in his eyes, and his tightly pursed thin lips relaxed. He raised his hand, picked up the Chinese medicine, blew on it, and coaxed Lin Yiyi to drink the medicine.
After she finished drinking, I brought her warm water to rinse her mouth.
Lin Yiyi talked to the man for a while and then fell asleep when he patted her back.
Because there were two charcoal basins in the room, it was extremely hot. Zhao Sheng unbuttoned his collar and lit a kerosene lamp to make the table brighter so he could calculate the accounts more clearly.
Take out a pen and paper from the drawer and write down all your expenses over the years.
In late September 1970, he paid 20 yuan of his own money plus 20 yuan from Zhao's father and mother to pay the Huang family a betrothal gift of 40 yuan.
From May 1971 to May 1972, Huang Qiuyan used various means to extort money from Zhao's father and mother three times, totaling 80 yuan. She died accidentally in May, and the Huang family demanded 40 yuan in compensation, totaling 120 yuan.
As I was away from home for a long time as an apprentice, I learned about all the above-mentioned requests for money only after the fact, and was asked by Zhao Tiezhu and Wang Caihong to compensate for the losses. (I became a formal employee of the steel plant in May 1973)
From June 1972 to March 1973, I paid my parents 5 yuan for pension, 7 yuan for childcare, and 8 yuan for debts every month, a total of 20 yuan.
Starting from April 1973, Zhao's father and mother asked me to pay for the reconstruction of the house, and the monthly fee increased from 20 yuan to 30 yuan.
In September of the same year, the debt was settled at 8 yuan per month. (15 months, a total of 120 yuan)
Paid 60 yuan for building the house.
From October 1973 to June 1974, I gave my parents 30 yuan per month, after deducting 5 yuan for pension and 7 yuan for childcare, I paid a total of 162 yuan in 9 months, plus the previous 60 yuan, a total of 222 yuan.
The total cost of building the house is 300 yuan, and each of the four brothers of the Zhao family should pay 75 yuan.
From July to November 1974, I gave my parents 20 yuan every month. The extra 8 yuan was used to temporarily pay for the tuition of my fourth and fifth children, a total of 40 yuan in five months.
From December 1974 to March 1975, because I married Lin Yiyi, I gave my parents 30 yuan a month, including 5 yuan for old-age care, 7 yuan for childcare, and 18 yuan for my wife (food rations plus meat once a week).
From April to June 1975, I paid 10 yuan per month to my parents for their retirement and temporarily paid 5 yuan for the tuition of my fourth and fifth children, totaling 15 yuan in March.
Excess amount: 222-75=147, 147+55=202
Birthday expenses and etiquette money for parents, Zhao Cong and Zhao Lili are not included.
Total amount of money that exceeds the amount that I should bear: 202 yuan
Just because he doesn't talk about something doesn't mean he doesn't care, he just doesn't want to upset people over trivial matters.
Anyone who annoys him too much must shut up, and if they don't shut up, they must disappear.
After writing the expense bill, Zhao Sheng wrote another letter to Uncle Zhao, sealed it, and then returned to Lin Yiyi and lay down to rest.
A dreamless night.
The next day, as the sky brightened, Zhaojiatun was shrouded in an even thicker layer of winter.
Ma Dongmei got up early, dressed, walked out of the house, looked at the window of the second room, and after seeing what was going on inside, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and then went to Zhao Cong's room to see the twins.
She didn't know how Lin Yiyi would recover, which made her anxious.
While the twins were still asleep, Ma Dongmei had breakfast early and went straight to help Lin Yiyi take care of the children. Zhao Li could not be relied on, but fortunately Donkey Egg and Goudan had grown up and could help with the work.
When Zhao Sheng woke up, his family had already had breakfast and went to Uncle Zhao's house to help. Today was the day when Zhao Yi and Ge Nana were going to hold a wedding banquet.
The two of them had actually held a wedding in the army before the New Year, but considering that their homes were far apart, they held it separately.
Lin Yiyi had a good night's rest and got enough sleep. She felt a little more energetic. She got up and wanted to go to her uncle's house with Zhao Sheng.
The man did not agree and just kept her alone in the room, eating, drinking and sleeping.
Lin Yiyi tried to act coquettishly for a long time but it was useless. She sat on the edge of the kang and stared at the man. Feeling bored, she fell back into the bed and rolled around.
"I'll bring you something delicious later."
Zhao Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw her lively and childish appearance, and as soon as his body recovered a little, he started to disobey again.
“…”
The man did not change his mind. The sound of doors opening and closing could be heard. Lin Yiyi waited until Zhao Sheng left before she sat on the edge of the kang, swinging her legs and killing time.
Counting the bezel, calculating the waiting and boredom bit by bit.
Uncle Zhao's house was bustling with activity, with five tables set up inside and outside the yard. His youngest son, Zhao Yi, had started his own family and career, so today he had finally fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
From then on, he no longer cared about the brothers' lives.
Zhao Sheng entered the yard and looked around for the twins. Seeing that Da Mao, Er Mao, Lu Dan and Goudan were helping each other walk in the house, he didn't pay much attention.
He went to the kitchen, got a bowl and put some food in it for Lin Yiyi.
After the banquet, Zhao Sheng left a letter for his uncle and went back to the Zhao family's home.
After Lin Yiyi finished her meal, Zhao Sheng cleaned up the dishes and told her that the twins had a lot of fun playing with their brothers.
Lin Yiyi felt that she was trapped in a vicious circle. When she was far away, she wanted to know about the little guy's situation, but when she was close, she wanted to escape.
So far, this situation will not change in the short term.
The next day was the sixth day.
Zhao Sheng took Lin Yiyi, the twins, and his cousin's family back to Ze County.
It was the first time for the little guy to ride in a car, and he insisted on being held on someone’s lap to look around. Zhao Sheng and Zhao Jun lifted the weights for nearly two hours.
We walked back to Lihua Alley from the bus station. Everyone was exhausted except Lin Yiyi who only carried a water bottle.
Lin Yiyi and her cousin's wife made lunch together. Considering Zhao Sheng's stomach, Lin Yiyi made wild vegetable dumpling soup and served it with spicy cabbage brought from home.
After dinner, Zhao Sheng went to find Aunt Sun and asked her to make up the full month's salary paid on February 7, from January 24 to February 24. Because she was given a holiday on February 14 for the Chinese New Year, the 10 days of work missed had to be made up from the sixth day of the first lunar month, February 24.
After making up the days, the factory nursery was also opened.
In the afternoon, Zhao Sheng took Lin Yiyi back to the family compound and moved back into their original single room.
