Chapter 284 Bloodshed 【Subscription】

Wang Lin changed the subject and said, "I also have to pay New Year's greetings to the leaders of the factory in advance. I'll go for a run in the afternoon."

Li Wenxiu said: "If you want me to say, you might as well wait until after the new year. How can you go to pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon? It seems too insincere."

Li Wenjuan and Sun Xiaodie set up the dishes and called them to eat.

The verbal battle between Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu finally stopped.

During the Spring Festival, except for Baichang, which needs to work overtime, other factories are on holiday. Even the clothing store is only open until [-] pm on New Year's Eve, and then they all close, and they reopen on the third day of the holiday.

These two days, Wang Lin's family was busy cooking dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.

This year, Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu can have the most prosperous new year ever!
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, at most, they just got a few meat dishes to try, but this year's dishes are much richer!
Braised pork, local smoked fish, boiled chicken, jellyfish in scallion oil, sauced meat, fried shrimp in oil, eight-treasure rice in lard, fried rice cake, family portrait, sweet and sour short ribs, lion head, eight-treasure duck, hairy crab in oil sauce, egg dumpling, fermented rice mariko...

Thirty dishes, large and small, are eaten in several meals, from the morning of New Year's Eve to the morning of the first day of junior high school.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Wang Lin took Ma Chunhua and Liu Ying, two country girls, to his home for dinner.

Seeing the delicious dishes on the table, the little girls were in tears.

Li Wenxiu asked: "What's wrong with you? The food is not delicious?"

"No," Ma Chunhua wiped her eyes and said, "I've never seen so many delicious dishes, I was moved to tears. Thank you, Sister Wenxiu. Thank you, Brother Wang."

"Okay, don't cry," Li Wenxiu said with a smile, "Eat more if you like, there are other dishes at noon and night, it's best to eat all of these dishes."

Most of the dishes are prepared at home, but there are a few dishes, such as eight-treasure duck and crystal shrimp, which Wang Lin bought at the old restaurant Rongshun.

After breakfast, Li Wenjuan and Sun Xiaodie were busy putting up window grilles, couplets, hanging blessing characters, and cleaned the inside and outside again.

The phone at home rang.

Li Wenxiu answered, and said with a smile: "My mother called, asking Wenjuan if she will be home for the New Year!"

"I'm not going home! I'm celebrating the New Year at my brother-in-law's house!" Li Wenjuan was standing on a stool, pasting grilles on the window glass, and shouted loudly.

"I know, I've already told my mother. Mom said, how long has it been since you went home? You won't go home during the Chinese New Year!"

"On the second day of junior high school, I will go back to the door with you."

"I'm married, and I call back when I go back to my mother's house, but you are not married, so you don't call back when you go home!"

"Just treat me as my brother-in-law too, as a dowry! Buy one get one free!" Li Wenjuan laughed, "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "In ancient times, when a rich family married a daughter, they always married a maid!"

Li Wenxiu stretched out her hand, tapped Wang Lin's forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "You think so well! Can you bear it?"

Wang Lindao: "You're joking! Why are you serious?"

"I know it's a joke!" Li Wenxiu laughed, "Otherwise, do you really want to?"

"Haha! I don't want to." Wang Lin said, "I already have enough headaches with one older sister, but if I have another younger sister who is tricky and funny, will I still be able to survive?"

"Hey, did you speak your mind? Do you hate me? Who picked me out of thousands of choices and married me back home?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It's New Year's Eve, just kidding!"

Li Wenjuan shouted: "Hey, brother-in-law, help me to see if the window grilles are posted properly?"

Wang Lin walked over and looked at it: "Right! It's alright, come down quickly, don't fall!"

"Well! I jumped down, brother-in-law, catch me!" Li Wenjuan jumped down to her brother-in-law, hugged him, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I will be your dowry maid from now on! You You have to be nice to me!"

"Nonsense!" Li Wenxiu knocked on his sister, "No big or small, such a big girl, still hugging your brother-in-law? Are you afraid of being ashamed?"

Wang Lin let go of Li Wenjuan, and said, "Do you want to send some New Year's goods to your family? There are still things to buy outside in the morning."

"No need, my mother's house has already prepared all the necessities for the New Year." Li Wenxiu said, "I gave my mother the money."

"How much did you give?" Wang Lin asked.

"Check the accounts?" Li Wenxiu smiled, "I didn't give much, and I give money every year and festival."

Wang Lindao: "I'm afraid you're too stingy, I'm afraid you'll give less!"

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "Where am I stingy? You said last time when Hu Ling bought clothes? It was different that time. I'm usually very generous to them. If it was my family's clothes and they took them casually, I wouldn't say anything." What. But, that's your clothes. That's where the business is done."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Wang Lin said, "I'll go to your house the day after tomorrow. I'll prepare a big red envelope! Otherwise, I won't have the face to go."

"That's not up to you?" Li Wenxiu smiled, "Give it to my parents, no matter how much you give, I'll be happy."

"Yeah." Wang Lin smiled, "It smells like Chinese New Year! Wenjuan, shall we set off fireworks?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Play it at night, it will look better! Isn't it a waste to play it during the day? You can only listen to it."

Just as he was talking, Xu Ying came.

"Sister Xu!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" Xu Ying said with a smile, "I should have come to pay New Year's greetings long ago. There are too many things at home, so I finally got busy. Here are some glutinous rice balls and shrimp crackers I made myself. I will send some for you to try. taste."

Li Wenxiu took it over, and said with a smile, "It's just right, my family hasn't made gnocchi yet! It's easy."

Xu Ying drank a cup of tea, chatted and got up to leave.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Xiaoqing, Wu Dazhuang, Luo Wei, Ding Shisheng and others all came over.

The time of the day passes quickly.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Lin accompanied Li Wenjuan to set off fireworks for a while, so that the little girl would not worry about it until late at night.

At eight o'clock in the evening, CCTV's 1989 Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Snake began live broadcast on time.

"I'm going to visit Little Bailing." Wang Lin said to Li Wenxiu, "There's a performance over there!"

"How many plays?"

"Just one, but because it's a gala, it will take longer. You guys watch the Spring Festival Gala at home, I'll go over there to see it. Others are busy, and I, the boss, have become a shopkeeper."

"Okay, you go. Come back earlier."

"Okay." Wang Lin said and went out.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1989 can be said to be a gathering of big names, and it was brilliant. Whether it was Xu Xiaofeng's singing, Yang Liping's solo dance, Feng Gong's crosstalk, or the dramas of Chi Xiaoqiu, He Ying, and Wu Qiong, they were all remarkable. , can be called a classic.

Wang Lin came over with a plate and said with a smile, "Wenxiu, I made two bowls of steamed eel, you can eat with one plate and have fun."

"Sister Lin, sit down." Li Wenxiu said with a smile, "This Spring Festival Gala is pretty good."

"Yes. Where's my brother?"

"He went to Little Bailing. There is a performance in the theater over there."

"Don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, why go to see a performance?" Wang Lin smiled, "Porridge porridge, too, said that the Spring Festival Gala is nothing to watch, playing the piano all the time! My house is full of musical instruments! Think about it, when my child is born, I will break all her musical instruments, and she will cry!"

"Musical instruments are not cheap, so don't let children destroy them." Li Wenxiu laughed, "The thinking of cultural people is different from that of us ordinary people!"

"That's right! Congee's hands can play everything, but they can't knit. You don't know. Some time ago, she learned how to knit a scarf, and she pricked her finger! It's bleeding. I've never seen such a stupid woman!" Wang Lin laughed, "The scarf we woven is so gray, it's so ugly!"

"Scarf? Gray? Wait a minute," Li Wenxiu got up and went into the bedroom. She looked around and saw Wang Lin's gray scarf, which was placed by the bedside pillow. She took it out and gave it to Wang Lin. Look, "Is this this one?"

"Hey, it's this one!" Wang Lin said in surprise, "Why are you at your house?"

Li Wenxiu suppressed the anger in her heart, and said: "I'll just say it! No wonder he regards this scarf as a treasure, it turned out that Zhou Porridge wove it for him!"

"Zhou porridge for my younger brother?" Wang Lin recalled.

"That's right!" Li Wenxiu said, "I said the scarf was ugly, but he was reluctant to throw it away, and put it next to the pillow, sleeping with him! He even lied to me, saying that he bought it for two yuan!"

"This?" Wang Lin said quickly, "Don't get me wrong, maybe it's just a normal exchange of gifts."

"I don't misunderstand, what did I misunderstand? They both dare to act like this under my nose!" Li Wenxiu squeezed the scarf tightly, her heart was bleeding.

Of course Wang Lin was helping her younger brother, and said, "There is absolutely nothing between Zhou Porridge and Wang Lin. Stop thinking about it."

"I don't think about it." Li Wenxiu said, "I'm fine."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Lin got up and said goodbye.

Holding the scarf, Li Wenxiu lost her mind for a while, and then when she watched the wonderful programs of the Spring Festival Gala, she felt like chewing wax.

She suddenly had a strong desire to see what Wang Lin was doing at the moment.

"Wenjuan!" Li Wenxiu called to her sister, "Ride a bicycle and take me to Little Bailing."

"Ah? Now? I'm not going. I want to watch the Spring Festival Gala." Li Wenjuan stared at the TV without turning her head, "It's just right to watch! Sis, it's cold outside. What are you going to Xiao Bailing for?"

"I—" Li Wenxiu thought for a while, yes, what are you going to Xiao Bailing for?
Even if she saw Wang Lin with other women, what would she think?
Li Wenxiu slowly relaxed herself, giving up the idea of ​​going to Xiao Bailing.

She got up, went to the bedroom, threw the scarf on the bed, walked to the window, looked at the lights of Wanjia outside, suddenly became sad, two lines of tears flowed down silently.

On the streets of New Year’s Eve, there were no pedestrians, only in the yard below, a few children were playing and setting off firecrackers, and someone was setting off fireworks in the distance.

I don't know how long it took before Li Wenxiu returned to the living room.

When Wang Lin returned home, it was past midnight.

The performance in the theater ended at ten o'clock, and he came back after midnight with Shen Xue.

Along the way, there are firecrackers everywhere.

The yard was also full of people, all playing with fireworks.

When I got home, there was still laughter and laughter in the house.

Ma Chunhua and Liu Ying have already gone back to the dormitory.

Li Wenjuan and Sun Xiaodie were laughing and discussing the program of the Spring Festival Gala.

Li Wenxiu looked up at him and said, "Why did you come back?"

"I went to the workshop, and the workers are working overtime! It's not even New Year's Eve." Wang Lin said.

"Why don't you go out with a scarf?"

"It's not too cold today, so you don't need to surround yourself."

Li Wenxiu got up and said, "Wenjuan, sleep!"

Li Wenjuan said: "I still want to set off fireworks with my brother-in-law!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Didn't you let it go? Go to sleep! I'm tired too."

Li Wenjuan and Sun Xiaodie got up and went to sleep.

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu had already showered in the afternoon, so they didn't need to shower again at night.

Wang Lin entered the bedroom and saw his scarf thrown casually at the end of the bed, he asked, "What are you doing with my scarf?"

"Can't I take it?" Li Wenxiu took off her clothes, went to bed and slept under the quilt, and said with a sneer, "Who gave this to you? Can you tell me?"

"I bought it for two yuan at the stall outside." Wang Lin said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

"Wang Lin, how many things have you lied to me?"

Wang Lin picked up the scarf, folded it, and put it beside the pillow.

Seeing him treat a scarf so tenderly, Li Wenxiu instantly lost her defenses. She grabbed the scarf, got out of bed, and walked to the window.

"What are you doing!" Wang Lin rushed over and hugged her.

"I threw it away!" Li Wenxiu said, "I kept it, just to wait for you to come back and ask you to understand! I'll give you another chance! Who gave this to you?"

Wang Lin frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I just want the truth!" Li Wenxiu said, "Who gave this to you?"

Wang Lin grabbed the scarf with his hands.

Li Wenxiu opened the curtains, opened the window, and threw the scarf outside!
But the scarf was so light, it was blown back into the room by the cold wind blowing outside, and fell to the ground.

Wang Lin said angrily: "Li Wenxiu, you are going too far! What are you trying to do?"

Li Wenxiu was very stubborn, she was really sad this time!
She couldn't let another woman weave a scarf for Wang Lin, tie it around a man's neck every day, and lie on her bed in such a swaggering manner!

She pushed Wang Lin away, picked up the scarf, and continued to throw it out the window.

Wang Lin stretched out his hand to snatch it, and at the same time he yelled: "Li Wenxiu, are you crazy? Give me back the scarf!"

Li Wenxiu smiled sadly: "Wang Lin, let me ask you today, is this scarf more important, or me?"

"You are such a big person, how can you have trouble with a scarf? What does this scarf hinder you?"

"Wang Lin, I gave you a chance! But you never told me the truth! In fact, I already knew that this is the scarf that Zhou Porridge made for you, right?"

Wang Linru was struck by lightning, and he admitted it quite bachelorly: "Yes, Zhou Porridge gave it to me. This is her New Year's gift to me. She is also my sister. It's not too much for her to give me a New Year's gift." Bar?"

"Excessive?" The expression on Li Wenxiu's face became colorful. "You put the scarf that other women gave you around your neck and put it next to your pillow. Tell me, who is going too far? You keep lying to me! You You bloody liar!"

"Give it back to me!" Wang Lin said sharply.

Li Wenxiu said: "If you kill me, I will not return it to you!"

Wang Lin stretched out his hand, trying to grab the scarf, but he used too much force and bumped into Li Wenxiu.

Li Wenxiu's head hit the wall with a bang, bleeding from his head.

She held her head, the blood soaked the gray scarf in her hand, she sat down slowly, and cried, "Wang Lin, do you know what day it is today? You hit me like this!"

"What day is today? It's past zero, isn't it the first day of the first lunar month?" Wang Lin was also angry.

Half of Li Wenxiu's face was covered in blood, and her heart was ashamed, and she said, "Today is my birthday! I have been waiting for you to come home and say happy birthday to me! Wang Lin, this beating is all about you!" My birthday present..."
