Chapter 174 Family Love
Happy and safe year!
real world.
New Year's Eve.
Lin Ye stayed at my sister-in-law's house, and he spent every New Year's Eve at my sister-in-law's house.
"You child, why did you buy so many things back home? Didn't you say that there is no shortage at home? You should save some money."
"Mom, why didn't I know that there is no shortage of things in our family? You called me earlier and asked me to buy this or that. The feeling is that there is no shortage of things bought by brother."
Zhang Nuannuan, who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV while swiping his phone, interrupted with a smile when he heard what his mother said.
"You girl, what are you talking about, even an apple can't stop your mouth."
Lin Ye put the things down with a smile, and every time he came back from shopping, he would be nagged by his sister-in-law. It had become a routine program, and he was afraid that the readers would feel disgusted again.
It's just that, with the nagging of the elders, there is also a feeling of home.
Home, home...
It is called hometown only when there are elders nagging.
Without the nagging of the elders, he is just a passerby.
"Bring these gifts when you go to your uncle's house on the first day of the new year. Don't spend money on them."
"good."
Lin Ye nodded in response. Seeing my sister-in-law busy in the kitchen, she walked to the sofa and sat down: "How is your studio recently?"
Although he knew that he had a relationship with him, and Chen Shanghan would definitely take good care of his cousin's studio, but out of concern, he still asked.
"It's good. Our studio now has more than a dozen employees. It is already the largest short video community-based company in this city. Many businesses have cooperated with our studio. I have been exhausted during this period. "
Zhang Nuannuan was tired, but from the excited expression on his face, Lin Ye knew that his cousin was still enjoying the current pace of work.
People, just can't be idle, this is better than giving my cousin a sum of money to live a worry-free life.
"By the way, you really haven't contacted my best friend, and my partner, people say you are very cold, and you never reply to likes and comments in your circle of friends."
"Have it?"
Seeing the "you have" in his cousin's eyes, Lin Ye explained: "I rarely look at Moments, sometimes I do, and I think about going back later, and then I forget."
"Tch, you can only deceive those idiots who are fascinated by your appearance with your words. I know you a lot about your sister. If you find it troublesome, I will find it troublesome. But let me tell you, my mother seems to have found someone to give it to you again." Introduced a girl, you will have a blind date this first month."
Zhang Nuannuan suddenly became happy while talking, as if thinking of some funny scene, he was overjoyed.
"Brother... I thought you would be like those videos on the Internet, a man and a woman walking by the river or walking one after the other on the road at the head of the village. That serious look... No... I can't laugh anymore."
"Don't worry, before that, I will ask my sister-in-law to introduce you."
Lin Ye glared at his cousin angrily, but soon he had no time to chat, because the messages and calls on his cell phone kept ringing, all for New Year greetings.
Chen Shanghan and He Jie sent him a text message to wish him well, Lin Ye thought for a while, these two still had to reply.
Then the phone rang again, and Zhong Shan's...
"Consultant Lin, happy New Year's Eve. I'm afraid you'll be too busy on the first day of the first lunar month to disturb you, so I wish you a New Year's greeting in advance. Happy New Year..."
"Happy New Year...Happy New Year."
"Consultant Lin, I, Datou Li..."
"Happy New Year...Happy New Year..."
"Consultant Lin, I, Zhao Yanshen..."
...
"Same joy, same joy..."
By the time all calls were answered, two hours had passed.
For the first time, Lin Ye realized that there are disadvantages in having too many acquaintances. There are too many blessings during the festival.
Fortunately, he didn't have to send blessing messages to others.
Boss, there is such a force.
"Brother, you are too exaggerated, two hours, more than 40 phone calls." Zhang Nuannuan saw that Lin Ye finally stopped, and said with fingers.
"People in the arena involuntarily."
Zhang Nuannuan: Don't pretend you are still my brother.
...
The first day of the first month.
Early in the morning, Lin Ye got up, greeted his sister-in-law and uncle, and drove away in the car.
"Hey, gift, Xiao Ye is back, you take the gift."
Hearing his sister's shout behind him, Lin Ye smiled slightly. He had presents in the trunk of his car, and he promised his sister yesterday, but he just didn't want her to keep nagging.
Xiafeng Town.
Lin Ye's uncle's house was in the same town as his sister-in-law's house, but the sister-in-law's house was in the village below, while his uncle's house was in the town.
"Big treasure!"
Lin Ye drove to his uncle's door, and when he got out of the car, he saw his cousin sitting at the door.
"Brother, did you buy a car?"
Xu Zhengbao heard the voice, looked up and saw Lin Ye getting off the car, and ran over happily.
"Well, I bought a car for transportation, and help me take these things in."
"Brother, lend me your car for a while. I just got my driver's license test at school."
Xu Zhengbao never took his eyes off Lin Ye's car. For a person who just got his driver's license, the most hopeful thing is to have a car to drive.
"Okay, you can open it later."
Lin Ye threw the key to his cousin, and Lin Ye's uncle and aunt who heard the movement came out of the house.
"Xiao Ye is here, why do you still buy so many things and waste money indiscriminately?"
"Aunt, my nephew must buy a present for my uncle's New Year greetings. Uncle, aunt, happy new year." Lin Ye replied with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I'll make you some tea."
Aunt Lin Ye enthusiastically went to make tea, and the cousin beside him interrupted, "Dad, Mom, my cousin bought a car."
"Buy a car?"
Uncle Lin Ye walked to the door, looked at the car parked at the door, and his expression sank.
"Our Xiao Ye is the best. We just bought a car not long after graduation." The aunt who came out after seeing the new car was very happy to praise.
"My car is worthless, I just bought it for transportation."
"Spending money indiscriminately." Lin Ye's uncle Xu Guoqiang criticized it.
"What do you talk about? You have a straight face in the first month of the lunar year. It is a happy thing for Xiaoye to buy a car. Nowadays, young people don't buy cars after working. They think it is our era. Xiaoye, your uncle It's old fashioned, don't worry about it."
My aunt chimed in, and Lin Ye shook her head, "Uncle also cares about me."
"You come with me."
Xu Guoqiang signaled Lin Ye to follow him into the house, then went straight up to the second floor and entered the bedroom. After Lin Ye came in, he said directly, "Close the door."
"Uncle, are you going to whip me?" Lin Ye asked jokingly, but closed the door anyway.
"Smack you, I'm afraid that if you hit you again, you won't even recognize me as uncle."
Hearing his uncle's words of resentment, Lin Ye was taken aback: "Uncle, how is this possible."
"How can it be impossible? If you still have my uncle in your eyes, why don't you discuss it with me?"
"I……"
"Don't interrupt, let me finish." Xu Guoqiang looked at his nephew, and suddenly sighed: "I know that after your parents left, your aunt was a little selfish, and you are more sensitive, so I don't want to come to my uncle's house." Home, choose to go to your sister-in-law, I also know that your sister-in-law and your uncle are very good people, so I didn't persuade you any more."
Lin Ye was silent. He didn't expect his uncle to know this.
"Uncle, I have no objection to buying a car. Unlike your two cousins, you are like a child. You are relatively independent in thinking and have self-control. Since you buy a car, there must be a reason to buy a car, but you bought a car. , You should tell Uncle, at least Uncle can prepare a few firecrackers for you, otherwise you will make others think that your child has no mother, and now there is no relative in the mother's family."
"Actually, your aunt's heart is not bad, but she thinks more of your two cousins. In fact, I used to go to school to see you and give you pocket money. Your aunt knows it. Over the years, your aunt asked I called you to come to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner, but I knew your temper, so I shirked it for you."
"Uncle, I didn't have a banquet when I bought the car." Lin Ye argued.
"How can you not have a banquet, you child... Didn't your sister-in-law organize it for you?"
"Just buy a scooter, I don't think I need it."
Lin Ye scratched his head. Uncle seemed to take it too seriously. It wasn't ten years ago, but now almost every household has a car.
Xu Guoqiang was a little excited and said: "Why don't you need it? This is a great event. There is a banquet and firecrackers, so that you can pay homage to your parents, let your parents know that you are promising, and let them feel at ease underground. "
"I didn't expect this." Lin Ye's voice was a little low.
"I'll go with you to your parents' grave in a while, and tell them that they will feel at ease when they know."
"Well, listen to your uncle."
Lin Ye nodded emphatically, and Xu Guoqiang reached out to pat Lin Ye on the shoulder, only to realize that his nephew was a head taller than him.
"Uncle, you can shoot." Lin Ye bent his foot and said with a laugh.
"Forget it, you've grown up, you can't pat men on the shoulder casually."
Lin Ye followed his uncle out of the room and just went downstairs when he heard his aunt arguing with others outside.
"What's going on, the big first month is arguing with someone?"
Xu Guoqiang frowned. The first day of the first lunar month is auspicious. Usually, even if you have a temper, you will endure it. How could your wife argue with others today?
"Dad, our mother got into an argument with the eighth woman on the street."
"what happened?"
Xu Zhengbao was standing at the door looking at it with great interest, and seeing his father questioning, he said, "Didn't I drive my cousin's car for a walk on the street just now, Baba Wang just happened to pass by, so she asked me who owned the car, I Said it belonged to my cousin, Baba Wang told my mother that she wanted to introduce someone to my cousin."
"Is it a good thing to introduce someone?"
In Xu Guoqiang's view, if someone is willing to introduce someone to Xiao Ye, it means that they value Xiao Ye, and they should be grateful.
"Brother Wang told me to introduce Lao Hu's daughter from the oil press shop in the town, and my mother started arguing with her."
"Lao Hu's daughter is the one who has had two abortions with a man. What does this bastard woman think of our Xiaoye?" Xu Guoqiang's face is also ugly. This is really a good thing for a matchmaker to say, but it can introduce a reputation Not good, and a woman who has had two abortions is disgusting.
What's more, the matchmaker will pay attention to the right person in the introduction, and the kind of person you introduce will show your status in the matchmaker's mind.
Lin Ye was not that angry, but seeing his aunt with her hips on her hips scolding the eighth woman, he suddenly felt that her aunt was actually quite cute.
Uncle was right. My aunt was just an ordinary woman. In most cases, it was not wrong to think about her own children first. This did not mean that my aunt had no affection for her.
"You old bastard, you deliberately seek scolding on the first day of the first lunar month."
"You Damingbei (dialect), what's wrong with me introducing you to the daughter of Lao Hu's family? Lao Hu is just such a daughter, and the family has plenty of money. Your nephew has no parents. If he can marry the daughter of Lao Hu's family, he will be considered a burner." It smells great."
"Hey, if it's so good, why don't you let your son marry? My Xiaoye doesn't need it. What happened to Xiaoye's parents who passed away long ago, and his uncle, his sister-in-law and us elders are here, we Jia Xiaoye is capable, so she doesn't need to eat soft food."
In a place like the countryside, a girl who is unmarried has had two abortions, and it has been spread, so it is almost impossible to marry in the local area. Serious people will not let their son marry such a daughter-in-law. Those who planted a family to eat soft food, or married far away to other places.
This place is not the county, at least it has to be out of the city. People in the city have relatives who know people in the town. Just ask around to know the situation of the girl.
Possibly Wang Ba Po was getting old, and she soon lost the wind, scolding and leaving in despair. Aunt Lin Ye turned her head to see Lin Ye, and comforted her, "Xiao Ye, don't listen to this old man. A good girl with a lot of conditions is willing to marry you, and my aunt will find some for you later."
Lin Ye really wanted to say, I'm not angry, and I don't need to look for someone.
"Okay, Xiaoye just graduated not long ago, what's the hurry, it's not too late for a man to start a career first."
"Looking for a partner without delaying your career, it seems that women will delay your men's work. Why, did marrying me delay your Xu Guoqiang's money?"
"I don't mean that?"
"Then what do you mean?"
"I...forget it, I can't say no to you, Xiao Ye and I will go to burn incense for my sister and husband-in-law, and you, Da Bao and Xiao Bao can make lunch."
Hearing this, Aunt Lin Ye nodded: "It's time to tell Xiao Ye's parents the good news, you go, I'll ask Dabao and Xiaobao to help with lunch."
"Auntie, I haven't eaten crabs for a long time, let's make a pot of braised crabs for lunch."
Aunt Lin Ye, who was walking towards the kitchen, was stunned for a moment when she heard Lin Ye's words, but she didn't look back, "Okay, I want to eat crabs, right? Let Dabao go to the vegetable market to buy them later."
After finishing speaking, he continued to walk towards the kitchen, just wiping his eyes while walking.
Xu Guoqiang saw his wife's back, then looked at his nephew, and also smiled: "You child, since you have the crabs, why don't you have a few drinks with your uncle at noon."
