Chapter 30 Strange Clothes
Lin Yun had already spoken kindly to his sister, and said with a smile: "How can we? This is not a newly bought house. The whole family finally got together to celebrate the New Year this year. If we can stay, we naturally want to stay. , if I can’t stay, I will come back in the future.”
"Isn't it?" Aunt Sheng Qi's daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Hua, also echoed, "Everything in the city costs money, and life is not easy. It sounds good, but in fact it is not as comfortable as at home."
Sister-in-law Hua is quick and diligent in everything she does. Unfortunately, the family has many children but little money. Her mother-in-law does most of the housework on a daily basis. She is also confused with several children and cannot go to the city even if she wants to.
"No matter how nice the city is, it's not as good as my own home. I heard that living in the city is always crowded. Several people squeeze into one bed. Life is a struggle. It's not pleasant at all. .”
"I think so. We can eat vegetables and cook fires at home in the mountains. The food is also produced in the fields. Calculated throughout the year, we can save a lot of money. The village is actually better than the city." Another jealous aunt said.
"I said to Lin Yun, I see you running around every day. The kimchi you mentioned is just the same if it is made in the village. It will be the same if we make it in the village and send it to the city."
There are many people who think this way, and they all talk about it.
Money is hard to make, so who doesn’t want to make some money at home? If the Lin Yun family's work was in the village, they would definitely have to talk about it.
"No way, it takes too much time to go back and forth. If something happens along the way, it will be a huge loss." Lin Yun did not think that it would be better to do things in the village.
To make kimchi in the village, you have to transport the vegetables from the city and transport the cooked food out. It takes at least five hours to go back and forth. If the weather is good, it is okay, but if the weather is bad, you will suffer.
"Lin Yun, what others are moving is furniture, bedding, or pots and pans. What do you do carrying firewood to the city every day?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
Lin Yun said vaguely: "Just use the ready-made furniture over there during the Chinese New Year. The bedding and everything else have been moved there, but we also have to burn the kang over there. It's not cost-effective to buy firewood in the city. If you have some at home, just move it there." If you go, you can also save some money."
Sister-in-law Hua gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Lin Huai's child, he knows how to live a good life."
Lin Yun used his uncle's connections to deliver kimchi to the city canteen. Everyone in the neighborhood knew about it. Although it wasn't a big deal, it could still make some money. Otherwise, why would he hire people to work in the city?
It seems reasonable to move the tractor to move some firewood. Country people are accustomed to never spending a penny more if they can save a penny.
"You are really stingy. You have already moved to the city and you have to move all the firewood away. Are you afraid that we fellow villagers will take advantage of you?" said a snarky voice in the crowd.
Lin Yun looked up and saw that it was Jia Dashen.
My sister said not to always think about biting the dog back, but she didn't say that she couldn't fight back. Lin Yun imitated her tone and said: "Forget it about others, we are all villagers, and I don't want to part with a few pieces of firewood. I'm afraid of your family." Take advantage of my house, not to mention a piece of firewood, even a piece of bark."
Everyone in the village knew that the two families were at odds with each other and did not get involved.
Jia Dashen is not a good person, but he has a son who is in college, so everyone still wants to get some light.
Lin Yun's father left a little early and lived a rough life for a while, but now that he has the ability to go to the city and hire people, who doesn't want to curry favor with him?
"You, you really think I'm interested in this piece of firewood from your house?" Jia Dashen thought about asking for it, but he had already moved to the city. What happened to the firewood he sent to his home?
Their family has a college student, so he should be sought after by the villagers.
It's a pity that Lin Yun doesn't like her, "You don't care where I move? If you have time to gossip here, why don't you chop more firewood? Don't freeze your college students."
Jia Dashen is a widow. In the past, Lin Jing, the brainless person, did these menial jobs. Now no one in the family is willing to do these jobs. Every day, she either asks for firewood from this family or charcoal from that family. She has no choice but to go up the mountain to chop some firewood and come back. I must complain for a long time.
Now that I am such a big person, three people sleep on a kang. I heard that during the day, I would go to other people's houses to soak up the heat, and I would fall back on my own without anyone else doing anything.
Jia Dashen really didn't want to suffer the cold again, so he said shamelessly: "After all, we used to be in-laws, so you can just give us these firewood to burn."
Lin Yun imitated Lin Jing and gave her a big eye roll, "Who is your in-law? It's just that you were engaged when you were young and ignorant. If you dare to ruin my sister's reputation, I will tear your mouth apart."
Don't give me a chance to do it, or you will regret it.
Jia Dashen had regretted it long ago. He should have waited until his son graduated from college and the whole family went to the city before regretting the marriage. The person his son was looking for now was so delicate that he couldn't do anything at first glance.
Even if he is from the city and has connections in his family, he will have to wait until his son graduates from college next year before he can use his skills.
Now their whole family is in the country, and this winter is really difficult.
Why is her life so miserable?
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Lin Yun's family had finished moving their things. At this time, many people who were thrifty at home wanted to go to town to buy some New Year's goods. The tractor could not always be occupied, so Lin Yun simply lived in the city with his family, so that Lin Ershan sent the tractor back.
My uncle's family in the city was the first to move into their new house. The large kitchen used to be on Lin Jing's side, but now they hired someone to build a new stove.
However, their family is accustomed to eating in the canteen at work, and they have to wait until the canteen is on holiday before opening meals.
The personnel transfer procedures for my uncle went smoothly. Next year he will teach at Railway Middle School. My cousin Lin Fang also transferred to Railway Primary School and now lives in a new house. My aunt is buying new things every day.
The three families live together, but they don't feel that they are different if they change places.
Lin Jing wondered if she could also let her younger siblings come to the city to study. Even if they had to pay school selection fees, it wouldn't matter. She had the ability to earn this money.
I am afraid that my younger brothers and sisters will not be able to keep up, so I help them with their homework when I have time.
Her junior high school diploma had always been criticized in the Zhang family, so she later took the self-study exam at an adult college and studied for a correspondence master's degree.
Although it is a bit watery, it is still usable.
"Sister Jingjing, what are you drawing? Why can't I understand it?" Lin Fang asked confusedly while lying on the side watching Lin Jing draw on the paper.
The little guy has just entered first grade this year, which is the time for One Hundred Thousand Whys.
Lin Jing said: "Clothes."
"What kind of clothes is this? It looks so strange." Lin Fang tilted his head and looked at the drawing and said, "It looks like a fluffy fox tail."
Lin Jing smiled, "It does look like it."
