Lin Xiuhe lives in a government compound in the city. They walked past a row of buildings and came to a row of two-story buildings. Zhang Wangyue said, "We used to live in the tube-shaped building in front, but we moved in this year when a house became vacant."
Su Qingmeng looked at her eldest brother's house. It was a red brick bungalow with a large yard, which was quite similar to the yard they lived in when they were in college.
A neighbor saw the group and greeted them: "Sister Zhang, are they your relatives?" This family is really nice.
"Xiu and his brother's family." Zhang Wangyue said.
"Oh," the neighbor nodded. This was the legendary college couple. She looked at the mobile phone on Lin Xiuyao's waist and realized that he was indeed the big boss of a company.
Zhang Wangyue opened the door and led them to the living room to sit down. "You guys sit down for a while. Your eldest brother has gone to the police station and will be back soon."
Today is Wednesday, a working day. Su Qingmeng asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to work today?" Zhang Wangyue is now a nurse in the hospital.
Zhang Wangyue poured tea for them and said, "I'm on the night shift today, so I can go to the hospital in the afternoon."
The building was not big, with only two rooms and a staircase leading to the second floor in the middle. They were now in the room on the east side of the first floor, which looked like a living room judging by the furnishings. There were also several awards posted on the wall. Su Qingmeng curiously moved closer to take a look. They were Lin Meng's awards, including an Excellence Award and an Improvement Award.
Zhang Wangyue said proudly: "Mengmeng's grades are pretty good, and she works very hard."
Lin Meng attends the best junior high school in the city and her grades are among the top 100. Her teacher said that if she maintains this grade, she will be able to be admitted to a key university.
Lin Xiuyao: "I heard from my second sister that Mengmeng has excellent grades. Sister-in-law, you are just being modest."
Of course, he also said that Lin Xuan’s grades were particularly poor, but he was reluctant to say this out loud.
Zhang Wangyue smiled and asked, "How's your Kang Kang's grades?"
Lin Xiuyao was not modest. "Top three in the grade, probably. My son is very outstanding."
Kang Kang wanted to laugh, but he pursed his lips to hold it back. He was a mature elementary school student and could not show his joy on his face.
Zhang Wangyue looked at him, "Kang Kang is so great." She felt depressed when she thought of her son who played around all day long, and her good mood was gone.
Lin Xiuyao was a maniac who showed off his sons and wives, praising them whenever he could. "Nowadays, we advocate for quality education, and students need to develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. Our Kang Kang is great, and he excels in every aspect. Of course," he glanced at Su Qingmeng lovingly, "it's all because of my wife's continuous excellence."
Su Qingmeng glared at him and said, "Sister-in-law, please take me to visit your home." Don't stab me in the heart.
"Okay," she walked out of the living room with Su Qingmeng, not wanting to listen to her brother-in-law's boasting. "This is the kitchen. On the east side of the second floor is our bedroom, and on the west side is the two children's."
The west room was divided into two small rooms by wooden boards. From the outside, it looked like a boy's room, with a basketball and football, and a radio next to the desk. Su Qingmeng took two steps inside and found that Mengmeng's room was much tidier, with a small bookshelf and many books on it.
"The brother and sister are both grown up, and it's not appropriate for them to live in the same room. It's a good idea to have Xiuhe and someone separate them like this," said Zhang Wangyue.
"It's okay now, but when they grow up a little, it will be crowded." Su Qingmeng said that the small room is only ten square meters, and half of it is a kang. There is no room left after putting a desk.
"I've thought about it too. In two years, I'll let Mengmeng move into the living room and give the room to Xuanxuan. By then, she'll be going to college soon and will only come back during the winter and summer holidays, so the living room will be fine."
Su Qingmeng frowned, but said nothing.
There was a noise downstairs, Lin Xiuhe came back.
The two went downstairs. Lin Xiuhe was wearing an olive green police uniform and a wide-brimmed hat. He looked serious and energetic. "Sister-in-law, you're here?"
Several people sat in the living room and chatted. When they were in the countryside, they had many relatives and didn't have the chance to chat much. This time, they could finally chat quietly about each other's lives.
Lin Xiuhe was very curious about the situation of his brother's company and kept asking about the details.
Zhang Wangyue was talking to Su Qingmeng about her novel. "Qingmeng, the Dali Temple you wrote is really interesting. I really admire you. How did you come up with so many cases?"
"Just rely on your imagination. I also pay attention to social news." Su Qingmeng has seen many bizarre cases in the future. He also likes to read suspense books and watch TV dramas. He can write about this kind of subject with ease.
Kang Kang asked: "Is the TV series finished filming?"
Su Qingmeng touched his head and said, "No." She looked at Zhang Wangyue's puzzled expression and explained, "The TV station bought the copyright and wants to make it into a TV series."
Zhang Wangyue couldn't believe it. Her sister-in-law was so amazing. The book was going to be on TV. "How much is the TV station paying?" She was particularly curious. "Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, don't tell me."
Su Qingmeng said, "Fifteen thousand." There was nothing to hide, as it was all her legitimate income.
Zhang Wangyue took a deep breath. Her family had less than 20,000 yuan in savings, but her sister-in-law earned that much from selling the filming rights of a book. Her brother-in-law made a lot of money by running a company, so her sister-in-law was not much behind.
She wanted to open a shop again. Her husband had disagreed before, saying that cadres' families were not allowed to do business. But after returning to her hometown, she found that several family members in the courtyard had opened shops. Her husband was just too cautious. The social atmosphere has changed again and again in recent years. She would not let Lin Xiuhe abuse his power. There was no problem with just opening a shop. Zhang Wangyue decided to go back and discuss it with her husband again.
Lin Xiuhe said, "Xiaoyue, go buy some vegetables and make something delicious for lunch." It was a rare occasion for his younger brother to come, so they couldn't be stingy.
"Brother, we have a train at 1:00, so we won't have dinner at your house." Lin Xiuyao declined. He had to arrive at the station an hour in advance to catch the train in case of any accidents.
"It's only ten o'clock," Lin Xiuhe said with a stern face, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so eat first before you leave."
