Chapter 114: Top-tier Script
Song's eldest sister didn't care.
Her private money, she could use it however she wanted; she only had one daughter, Xiangxiang, so no matter what, she had to consider her.
The atmosphere fell into a standstill.
Old Yuan ran hurriedly to his son's house, and as soon as he arrived, he asked, "Does Xiangxiang have a partner?"
Song's eldest sister cheered up, in a fighting state, "Yes, it's the younger brother of her cousin's colleague!"
She thought her father-in-law would say something unpleasant, but the stubborn old man was very happy for his daughter.
He smiled, revealing his big yellow teeth.
"Good, good." Old Yuan said "good" twice in a row, "Let's see who dares to say again that my Old Yuan's granddaughter is unwanted, and has to stay at home as an old maid for a lifetime."
After saying this, he left quickly to go brag to those old buddies of his.
Song's eldest sister: "..."
At the same time, the news that Yuan Xiang had talked to a city partner spread to the Huang family, who had previously rejected the Yuan family's marriage.
Wang Wang Pozi Huang sat there with a cold face for a long time without making a sound, thinking of the words people in the village used to mock her, her expression became distorted.
"Mother, everyone outside is mocking our family, saying our family picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, and some say our family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and deserves to be slapped in the face. Mother, we can't let them say it like this, we have to find a way to make them shut up." The Huang family's eldest daughter-in-law said.
Wang Wang Pozi Huang roared, her voice sharp and ear-piercing, "Don't I know they are saying ugly things."
"You tell me what to do!"
The Huang family's eldest daughter-in-law was startled, patted her chest in fear, and hurriedly said, "If the younger brother-in-law becomes a regular, becomes a real city person, who would dare to speak ill of our family, they would definitely rush to our family to ask for advice."
Wang Wang Pozi Huang's mind flashed through the scenes her eldest daughter-in-law said, and her face was full of happy smiles.
Thinking of reality, she frowned again, "Xiaokang said it's very difficult to become a regular, it takes time."
Her son sent word, saying someone in the factory was dealing with him, blocking his quota for becoming a regular, and his father-in-law's family was finding a way; if it went smoothly, he could become a regular, if not, there would be a wait.
She didn't know who was the one who couldn't bear to see her son do well, and wasn't afraid of falling to death while walking.
Uncle Song, who was drinking tea at home, sneezed violently; who was scolding him?
"Let him pester his wife again." The Huang family's eldest daughter-in-law said.
Wang Wang Pozi Huang couldn't bear to spend money on gifts, thinking it would be best to achieve the goal by relying on that family in the county, but on the surface, she said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have a count on this matter."
The Huang family's eldest daughter-in-law curled her lips, telling her not to talk nonsense; if she had the ability, don't ask her.
Wang Wang Pozi Huang spat at her neighbors to the left and right, and said fiercely, "Laugh, laugh, when my Xiaokang becomes a worker, there will be a time for me to laugh back."
Imagining that when her youngest son became a worker, she wouldn't have to work, and would enjoy life by doing housework at home, Wang Wang Pozi Huang smiled with a face full of wrinkles.
She didn't know that with Uncle Ning saying hello, her family's Huang Kang's becoming a regular was afraid to be indefinitely far, and there would be many more jokes made by the Huang family.
Because Yuan Xiang talked to a worker partner, the gossip about her in the whole village became less, and the people in the village turned to gossip about the Huang family, as ugly as what they said about the Yuan family before.
When the Yuan family heard about it, they felt bursts of happiness in their hearts, finally sweeping away the previous haze.
Plus the meat and sugar brought back by the Lin family and Yuan Xiang, the whole family was very happy, and Yuan's second sister-in-law, after eating meat and sharing sugar, no longer put on a face.
The Lin family didn't know about the Yuan family's affairs yet.
At this time, Lin Zhao hadn't left her maiden home yet, and she quietly told her father and mother about the fact that she had a courtyard in the county.
Lin Heling asked clearly about the reason, and when he learned the name on the land and property ownership certificate, his eyes were a bit strange, "Lin Jiu?"
"Father knows?" Lin Zhao stared at him.
Song Xiwei gently patted her head, "Are you stupid, your father's pseudonym before was Lin Jiu."
"Ha...?" A string of questions slowly appeared on the top of Lin Zhao's head, and she exclaimed, "That courtyard is my father's?!"
"How come I didn't know?"
"Father, how many more secrets do you have that I don't know?"
Lin Heling was amused by his daughter.
He shrugged, his slender fingers lightly pointing at his own head, "I don't know either. You know, my memory is recovering intermittently, and there are some things even I don't know."
Lin Zhao supported her chin with her hand, "Father, you wouldn't be a descendant of a famous family, would you?"
Lin Heling actually didn't deny it, "It's possible. Even if it's not a descendant of a famous family, it's not bad. I remember the place where I lived when I was young had many courtyards, the garden had many flowers, there was a big fountain in front of the gate, there were many people in the family, and there were small cars..."
"Western-style house?" Lin Zhao sincerely felt that her father had the top-tier script, his life was really good.
"Count it." Lin Heling nodded.
"Do you remember anything else, like family members?" Lin Zhao asked.
Lin Heling said, "No."
After so many years of not being able to remember, he was used to it; he used to be anxious and worried, but now he was very calm.
Lin Zhao comforted, "Father, didn't you say the medicine I sent was useful, maybe when you finish drinking it, you'll remember."
"I hope so." Lin Heling sighed lightly in his heart.
After so many years, he didn't know how his family was doing, especially with the current situation being so bad, he felt the Lin family was in danger.
Lin Zhao changed the subject, "Father, since you have a courtyard in the county, why haven't I heard of it?"
Lin Heling put aside his distracting thoughts and smiled, "I... because of some things, I fled in a hurry, forgot to bring the supporting documents, and later I was sick for a while, and many things happened. By the time I settled down, it was already too late."
The social order in those years was really chaotic, and property really wasn't that important.
"You are really lucky, to actually have obtained the land and property ownership certificate for that courtyard."
Lin Heling chuckled, "A few days ago, I mentioned that courtyard to your mother, thinking I didn't know whose family that courtyard had become, but I didn't expect it hadn't been confiscated."
"Zhaozhao, you found the certificate, so the courtyard is yours. It's good to have a house in the county; if you have something to do one day and don't want to return to the brigade, it's good to have a place to rest."
Zhaozhao's eldest uncle's place could be lived in, but the Song family's living conditions were limited, and plus the two sons were grown up, it wasn't that convenient.
Lin Zhao said it was true; she had found the land and property ownership certificate from the books she picked up at the recycling station, which was also why Lin Heling said so.
Before Lin Zhao could speak, Lin Heling continued, "When I remember the past and the country's social order returns to normal, I think the things I can leave to you siblings will definitely far exceed what they are now. By then, my Zhaozhao will also be able to settle in a big city and live a convenient and comfortable life."
Lin Zhao beamed, "What Father and Mother have given me is already a lot."
She was talking about the gold bars and other treasures her parents had let her take back last time.
"This is only where to where." Lin Heling touched his precious daughter's head, "Qualified parents should let their children live without worry about food and clothing for a lifetime."
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, he was dazed for a moment, and a handsome face with a smile flashed through his mind; this person put a little boy on his shoulder and shook him, and seemed to have said such a sentence.
That was...
Father?
Inexplicably, Lin Heling was very sure.
Lin Zhao didn't know what her biological father was thinking, covered her mouth and laughed, "According to what Father said, then countless fathers are unqualified."
Lin Heling came back to his senses, his tone was light, "This is the rule of our Lin family, and it has nothing to do with others."
"This sentence was said by your grandfather, he said it to me."
Song Xiwei asked in surprise, "You remembered your family?"
"Mm, just now, a picture suddenly appeared in my mind." Lin Heling didn't hide it.
Song Xiwei said, "Good thing, continue to draw it down at night."
"Father, what did my grandfather look like?" Lin Zhao was endlessly curious.
She had grown up so big, and this was the first time she learned about her grandfather from her father's mouth.
The two words "grandfather" were such strange words to her.
"Your grandfather..." Lin Heling thought of the figure that flashed through his mind and smiled, "Your grandfather looked handsome and imposing, he was very tall, and his smile was very infectious, I look five parts like him."
"Only this much, I didn't remember anything else, don't ask anymore."
Lin Zhao was a bit disappointed, "I think my grandfather must be very good; if my grandfather had watched me grow up, he would definitely have been able to spoil me to the sky."
She felt that she was so good-looking, her temperament wasn't bad, and her mouth was sweet, so she was very liked by elders, and her biological grandfather would definitely like her.
Lin Heling agreed very much, "Not just spoiling to the sky, he would definitely want the stars and not give the moon."
Thinking that his daughter hadn't seen any of his relatives, Lin Heling felt guilty toward his daughter.
"Zhaozhao, Father will work hard, strive to remember as soon as possible, so you can have a grandfather and grandmother."
Lin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, "Father, this isn't up to you to decide, let's not be anxious, let's recover slowly, okay."
Song Xiwei felt that these words sounded like coaxing Gu Da Cai and Ercai, and her smile was helpless.
Seeing that the father and son were talking further and further away, she said, "Zhaozhao, that courtyard in the county must be very dilapidated, right? What are your plans?"
"I want to renovate it, so I have a temporary place to stay." Lin Zhao said.
Song Xiwei got up, walked to the cabinet, took out several "Great Unity" notes, and stuffed them to her daughter, "Give this money to your eldest uncle, let him find someone to renovate it, your eldest uncle handles things reliably, if you hand it to him, you don't have to worry about it, it's easy."
"I have money." Lin Zhao refused.
Song Xiwei stuffed it into her bag forcefully and said, "If I tell you to accept it, then accept it, we caught a wild boar the day before yesterday and sold it, there is money at home."
Old Lin's health had improved, he didn't need to buy good medicine anymore, and the money at home could be saved.
"Okay, I'll accept it." Lin Zhao didn't refuse anymore, thinking of exchanging it all for good things to send to her parents.
Song Xiwei's expression relaxed, and she exhorted, "Go find your eldest uncle, don't think about doing it yourself, leave professional things to professional people to do, renovating a courtyard is tiring, your father and I would rather spend money than see you suffer without need."
Lin Heling nodded.
In his eyes, problems that could be solved with money were not big things.
"Mm-hmm, I'll listen to Father and Mother." Lin Zhao felt that she was so lazy, it wasn't without reason; look at her parents, they hadn't done much yet, but money and methods were all provided.
Don't say it, it was really beautiful in her heart.
"Zhaozhao, are you eating at home?" Song Xiwei thought it was time to cook and asked.
Lin Zhao thought that her eldest brother and second brother were still in the Harvest Brigade, waiting for her bicycle, and said, "I'll go back to eat."
"The pomegranates on the tree are ripe, you pick some for Gu Da Cai and Ercai, I killed a wild chicken, you can take it back to boil soup to drink in a while." Song Xiwei said.
While speaking, she got up and went to the kitchen, took out a wild chicken, found a hemp rope, tied the wild chicken's legs, and hung it on the front of the bike.
The chicken was flapping its wings hard, obviously alive.
Lin Zhao left the room and picked pomegranates without being polite, picking the reddest ones.
There was one that was big and red, she couldn't reach it, and didn't want to step on a stool, so she turned her head and asked her father for help, "Father, help me."
Lin Heling was waiting for his daughter to ask for help softly, he smiled and walked over, stretched out his long arm, and picked the one Zhaozhao wanted.
He put the pomegranate into the small basket and asked warmly, "Which one else do you want?"
Lin Zhao stretched her hand toward the branch on the right, "I want those two reddest ones."
The pomegranate tree in the Lin family's courtyard had been planted for many years, grew extremely beautifully, and could bear many pomegranates every year.
"It's a pity I didn't bring a camera, otherwise I would have to take a few photos no matter what." Lin Zhao said with regret.
Lin Heling was very interested and said, "Bring it next time, help me and Mother take a few more photos."
"Okay." Lin Zhao agreed in one breath.
Sure enough, her father was a super-advanced person; while other grandfathers were still worried about wasting money, he had already started to take the initiative to ask for photos.
After picking enough pomegranates, Lin Zhao planned to leave.
Before leaving, she remembered the joke made by the Liu family in the village and asked curiously, "Mother, what's going on with the Liu family? Tell me about it, I want to hear."
Song Xiwei: "..."
Facing her daughter's dark and bright eyes, she told the story of the Liu family in a flat and straightforward manner.
Lin Zhao didn't dislike that her mother's telling was without waves at all, ate the whole melon, and secretly spat, saying it served them right.
This was just interest!
If there was a chance, she would also let the Liu family taste the suffering that Dadan and the others had suffered.
When the bicycle passed by the Liu family, Lin Zhao didn't forget to show a cold, mocking villain smile.
The Liu family: Ah ah ah ah ah, so angry I'm going to die!!
Lin Zhao saw the Liu family's heads smoking with anger and expressed that it was very refreshing.
It was a bit childish, but it was useful if it could make people angry.
When Lin Zhao returned to the brigade, she found that the number of people moving in the village had decreased by half, and she muttered in her heart.
In this situation, generally speaking, it was because some excitement had appeared somewhere, and the people in the village had all flocked there.
The educated youth spot?
Returning home full of doubts, she found that there was no one at home either.
She was endlessly curious, returned to the room to take a small half bag of cat ears, and while eating, went to find people slowly.
Wang Chunhua saw Lin Zhao and shouted, "Gu Da Cai's mother, your mother-in-law and the others are all watching the excitement by the river, Maodan was pushed into the river by Yaozu, and everyone has run over."
Hearing this, Lin Zhao quickened her pace, first walking quickly, and in the end, she started running.
Her mind kept thinking about the drowning rescue method.
In the original book, there seemed to be a plot, saying that in the first few minutes of drowning and suffocation, using something like artificial respiration could save a person.
There were many people by the river.
Seeing Lin Zhao, the people in the village cleared a path, letting her walk inside.
Someone said, "Chenghuai's family, your man is this." She gave a thumbs up.
"I didn't expect that a drowned person could actually be saved, Chenghuai is too magical."
"Maodan, this cub, has a good life, meeting Chenghuai at home, otherwise his little life would be gone today."
"Thanks to Ercai, if Ercai hadn't seen Maodan fall into the river and shouted to the people in the village, Maodan would have been blown away by the water long ago."
"What fall into the river, Maodan was pushed down by that Jin Dan of the Wang family!"
Everyone spoke very loudly, and Lin Zhao pieced together the cause and effect of Maodan falling into the river, frowning.
Wang Yaozu couldn't be left uneducated!
She squeezed to the very front of the crowd.
Maodan, who was soaking wet, was nestled in the arms of an old lady with red eyes; the child, who was full of energy yesterday, had pale lips at this moment, was weak, like a little cat cub that had been splashed with water.
"Maodan?" Lin Zhao shouted.
Maodan opened his eyes, his clear child's voice hoarse, "Lin Auntie."
Seeming to perceive Lin Zhao's concern, he pulled the corners of his mouth, "I'm fine, I'll be fine after a sleep, I'll learn to cook from Auntie tomorrow." ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
