Counterattack 1988

Chapter 846 I Want to Have a Home

Zhou Xia looked at the box in Wang Lin's hand and said with a smile, "What? It seems to be a very precious gift! Could it be a gift from a woman?"

Wang Lin was also curious, who could give himself a gift on New Year's Eve?

The box was beautifully packaged, he tore off the outer wrapping paper, and inside was a beautiful box.

Wang Lin hesitated for a moment before opening the box.

Inside the box are two clay figurines.

Wang Lin was startled.

Zhou Xia chuckled and said, "Clay figurine? Who gave it to you?"

Wang Lin shook his head: "I don't know, and it doesn't say who gave it to me."

Zhou Congee shouted: "Sister, show me what kind of clay figurine it is?"

Zhou Xia took the box from Wang Lin, took out the clay figurines inside, held it in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's pretty, these two clay figurines are still kissing!"

Zhou Porridge took the clay figurines and said with a smile, "These are two clay figurines who are paying their respects. Wang Lin, who gave you these? Are you a confidante?"

"Haha!" Zhou Jun laughed loudly, "Where did Wang Lin get his confidante? I guess he ordered it somewhere? Wang Lin, right? You're too busy, have you forgotten?"

As he spoke, he gave Wang Lin a wink, which was to excuse Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was like a bright mirror in his heart, but he said: "Oh—yes, last time I went to the Town God's Temple, I found someone to order two clay figurines. At that time, he didn't have enough clay, so I left an address. He said he would send someone to deliver it to me when it was ready. I forgot about it when I was busy."

Zhou Congee looked at him suspiciously, then looked down at the clay figurine.

Wang Lindao: "If you like it, I will give it to you."

Zhou Congee said: "I don't want two mud figures. I think this man looks a bit like you, and this woman—who is it?"

Wang Lindao: "Just two clay figurines, who can be like whom?"

Zhou Porridge couldn't remember who this female clay figurine looked like for a while, but she always felt familiar.

Wang Lin really wanted to take it back, but he couldn't be too eager. He just laughed: "You can keep it for fun! I'm going home to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Zhou Congee said: "Wait, take this back! It's useless for me to keep it. This female clay figurine is not like Li Wenxiu, nor is she like Shen Xue, and of course she is even less like me. Who is it?"

Wang Lin took the clay figurine, still put it in the box, put the box in his pocket, turned around and left Zhou Jun's house.

He knew very well that it was given to him by Li Jiaxin, and the intention was obvious to remind him to pay attention to her existence.

In the past month, Wang Lin first accompanied Zhou Porridge to produce, and then accompanied Shen Xue to produce, and then he was busy taking over Shenfang Group and Fashion Week. How could he have time to pay attention to Li Jiaxin?
Among the few women around him, Li Jiaxin had the lowest sense of presence.Firstly, she was far away, and secondly, she and Wang Lin had a shallow relationship.

Wang Lin has more physical needs for Li Jiaxin, but physical needs can be replaced.Especially when the two of them are still so far apart, the distance cannot quench their thirst.

These two clay figurines were bought by Wang Lin when Li Jiaxin came to Shencheng last time to play with her.

She sent these two clay figurines to Wang Lin's house, which can be said to be both bold and enthusiastic!

Wang Lin came out of Zhou Jun's house, and instead of going home, he went downstairs.

He didn't bring his mobile phone with him. After he came out, he went outside to look for a public phone in the street.

Although it is New Year's Eve, many shops are still open.

Wang Lin found a grocery store.

A group of children gathered around the door of the store, picking out firecrackers.

Wang Lin said to the store owner, "I'll make a call."

The store owner looked up and saw him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang!"

Most of the people doing business in this area are family members of the original Shenfang No. [-] Factory, so it is normal to know Wang Lin.

Wang Lin nodded, picked up the receiver, and called Li Jiaxin's house.

The person who answered the phone was Li Jiaxin's mother. She didn't recognize Wang Lin's voice, so she thought it was her daughter's friend, so she told Wang Lin that Li Jiaxin was not at home, nor in Xiangjiang, and that she was going to Shanghai to attend a fashion week.

Wang Lin was very surprised, Li Jiaxin came to Shanghai?

He asked Li Jiaxin's mother, when did Li Jiaxin leave Xiangjiang?
The other party replied that it was this morning.

The whole day today, Wang Lin was not at the company. His mobile phone was also in the car, and he did not answer the phone call. In this era, mobile phone, if you miss a call, you will miss it, and there will be no records.

Li Jiaxin wanted him to miss him, but couldn't find him, so she had no choice but to send him a box of clay figurines to remind Wang Lin of her existence.

Wang Lin put down the phone, paid the phone bill, and turned to go home.

He knew that Li Jiaxin might be staying at the Huating Hotel, and he felt ashamed when he thought that she had come all the way to visit him, but she was alone in the hotel for the New Year, but he couldn't go to accompany her.

Wang Lingang had a quarrel with Li Wenxiu, but they made up again. If he didn't spend the night at home tonight, it would be impossible to justify it anyway.

For the sake of the child, he can't go out tonight even after leaving this house.

Go find her again tomorrow!
Wang Lin entered his house.

Li Wenxiu and Li Wenjuan were watching the Spring Festival Gala, laughing from time to time.

The skit "Police and Thieves" is being played on TV, which is a classic skit.

"Where's the baby?" Wang Lin asked.

"Sleeping." Li Wenxiu glanced at him, "Aren't you going to buy some fireworks and bring your son to set them off?"

"He's still young, let's release him when he's older!" Wang Lin said, "Children can't play with fire, they will wet the bed at night."

"There are diapers!" Li Wenxiu laughed, "What are you afraid of?"

Wang Lindao: "Next year! He will be more sensible next year."

He came over and sat down beside his wife to watch TV.

Li Wenjuan got up, cut some fruits, brought some melon seeds for snacks, put them on the coffee table, and sat down on Wang Lin's right hand side.

"Brother-in-law, eat something." Li Wenjuan said with a smile.

"Okay." Wang Lin said, he didn't take anything to eat, he sank deeply into the sofa, and took out a cigarette.

Li Wenxiu said: "You can smoke if you want! The child is already asleep."

Wang Lin lit a cigarette and listened to the two comedians laughing on the screen.

"It's a pity that we won't be able to see Shen Xue in this year's Spring Festival Gala." Li Wenxiu said, "Do you think she can still go to the Spring Festival Gala after giving birth? Can a woman still dance as well as before after giving birth?"

Wang Lindao: "Of course you can dance! Those ballet dancers can have children, and she doesn't only dance ballet. For her, having children has no effect."

"You know her well?"

"Didn't you mention her?"

"Her man is back, have you seen it?"

"I have nothing to do? Pay attention to her every day?"

"..."

While chatting, the song "I Want to Have a Home" began to play on the TV.

"I want a home

a place that doesn't need to be gorgeous
when i'm tired

I'll think about it..."

This is not a new song, it was released as early as 1989.Singer Pan Meichen had the experience of moving three times within half a year when she was studying, and was even poor enough to eat instant noodles in a rented hut for several days in a row.She composed this song based on her own experience and personal perception, expressing her longing for family from the perspective of a woman who lacks family warmth.

With its beautiful melody and straightforward and realistic lyrics, this song has attracted the attention of the public. The singer performed this song affectionately with a unique voice, singing the desire for love.

In popular music, there are not many family songs, and this song can be said to be the most famous one.Accompanying a generation through their youthful years, it also touched wanderers looking forward to returning home.This song has a strong resonance, can reflect social phenomena, and sings the voices of many people, especially those who have left their homes and worked hard.

Li Wenxiu hummed softly: "Although I never had a warm home, I grew up gradually."

Every woman longs for a stable home.

And Wang Lin and his son are Li Wenxiu's home.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Don't you still want to run away from home? Want to have a home again?"

Li Wenxiu gave him a slight pinch: "You still have the nerve to say that you quarrel with me every now and then!"

"It was you who quarreled with me, okay?" Wang Lin asked.

Li Wenjuan said: "Stop! Stop talking! If you continue talking, you will have to quarrel again."

Wang Lin said, "Watch TV."

In this year's Spring Festival Gala, there were a lot of cross talk sketches, many of which were master-level works. Even if it was a rerun, Wang Lin enjoyed watching it.

Firecrackers sounded outside.

It's midnight!
The new year is here!

Li Wenxiu hurried into the room to accompany the child.

Li Wenjuan took Wang Lin's hand: "Brother-in-law, let's set off firecrackers too!"

"You are a girl, you also play this?" Wang Lin laughed.

"It's not much fun anyway. Let's go down and buy some fireworks and play with them? Okay? You take me to set them off together."

Seeing that she was really interested, Wang Lin followed her downstairs.

There are many fireworks and firecrackers in the canteen outside.

Although the state has proposed to strengthen the production and discharge safety of fireworks and firecrackers, the implementation time is different in each city, and the relevant regulations are also different.

Beijin also waited until a few years later to ban the burning of fireworks and firecrackers.

Shencheng has to wait until after 95 to issue relevant regulations. As for the real ban on burning fireworks and firecrackers, it will be postponed later.

Wang Lin and Li Wenjuan bought some fireworks and went back to the yard to set off.

Zhou Jun brought Zhou Xia and Wang Lin came downstairs holding Zhou Changbow.

"Wang Lin! You set off fireworks too? Where's Wenwen in your family?" Zhou Jun laughed and said, "Take him down and set them off together!"

"He's asleep." Wang Lin said, "Your parent, Gong, hasn't slept yet? A night owl?"

"I was awakened by the sound of fireworks. I was crying and shouting to come down to watch the fun!" Wang Lin laughed, "Zhou Jun, light the fireworks and show them to your son."

Zhou Jun was smoking a cigarette, which was most suitable for lighting fireworks.

Li Wenjuan held a soaring cannon, covered her ears with one hand, raised it high with the other, and shouted, "Brother-in-law, help me light the fire!"

Wang Lin took out a lighter, lit it, and placed it under the fuze of the sky cannon.

The soaring cannon ignited at one point, and the fuze was short, so it burned inside quickly.

Li Wenjuan threw her hand away in advance because of fear.

The soaring cannon had no time to soar into the sky, fell to the ground, turned around, and then snapped.

Li Wenjuan was terrified, and hugged Wang Lin: "It scared me! Brother-in-law, why doesn't this cannon fly into the sky?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Didn't you let go of the sky cannon? You have to hold it lightly, it will fly to the sky by itself! It won't work if you hold it tight or let go."

Zhou Xia also likes to play with fireworks. She prepared a lighter by herself, lit it up and played with it. It was fun.

Li Wenjuan tried another one, and this time it was released very well. The soaring cannon soared into the sky with a whoosh and snapped in mid-air.

Wang Lin also bought some butterfly cannons, lit them and threw them on the ground, turning them around, emitting a few bursts of fire.The safest ones are the barking flowers and sparkling flowers. Hold them in your hand and swipe them back and forth, with sparks and lightning all the way.

Wang Lin didn't buy the cannons of Changtian Monkey and Er Tijiao, because they were too dangerous and too loud for fear of startling the babies in the room.

The little guy Zhou Changgong was really not afraid of setting off firecrackers. Looking at all kinds of fireworks, he smiled happily, clapped his hands and yelled, he really wanted to try it!

Several people had a great time, and in the smell of gunpowder smoke and the laughter of the children, they instantly felt the strong flavor of the New Year.

When it was almost one o'clock, Wang Lin and the others dispersed.

"Shou Sui?" Zhou Jun asked Wang Lin with a smile when he went upstairs.

Wang Lin shook his head: "I'm too old to keep it. I have to go to Fashion Week tomorrow! Do you want to watch it?"

"The first and second grades definitely won't work. Tomorrow I'm going to celebrate the New Year. My dad gave me a list. I can't go if I don't go. I'm going to go to my husband-in-law's house on the second grade. Your sister can kill me! I'll go to see you in the third grade." Let's go to the fashion show! Are there many beauties watching?"

"Haha! Of course! All professional models are over [-] meters tall, and the tallest one is over [-] meters! There will be a bikini catwalk at the opening ceremony tomorrow, but it's a pity you can't come!"

Zhou Jun couldn't help but feel itchy after hearing this: "Really? That's a pity! Do you want tickets?"

"I'll give it to you."

"Give me a few more, and I'll take my colleagues to see them together."

"There are a lot of tickets. I'll give you hundreds of tickets. You can give them away! The price is 20 yuan per ticket, and it's very honorable to give them away."

"Okay! Do you have any at home? Give it to me now. I'm going to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, so I just give it away."

"Have."

When Wang Lin returned home, he took out a stack of fashion week tickets from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Jun.

This kind of ticket is a two-part style, and you can enter the venue with the ticket for a week during the fashion week. When you enter the venue, the staff will tear up the other part and it will be invalid.

There are more than one hundred tickets, and the face price is more than [-] yuan. Zhou Jun clapped his palms in his hand, and said with a smile: "Good things, better than giving away cigarettes and alcohol!"

He took the ticket and went home happily.

Wang Lin closed the doors and windows tightly, and could vaguely hear the sound of fireworks and firecrackers coming from outside.

Back in the room, I saw Li Wenxiu sleeping on the bed with the child.

Wang Lin looked at the bed: "How do I sleep?"

"Isn't there an open space over there? Isn't there enough space for you to sleep in?" Li Wenxiu tightened the child's quilt, "Don't squeeze him! Don't crush him!"

Wang Lindao: "He alone occupies half of the [-]-meter bed. How can I sleep? The quilt is not enough to cover it! Forget it, I'll go sleep outside."

Li Wenxiu shouted: "Don't go! Come here, I'll bring Wenwen over a bit. You can sleep well. Who didn't take care of their children like this before?"

There is a cradle bed at home, but it is placed in Xu Ying's room.

Xu Ying only had three days off, and Wang Lin didn't bother to dismantle the bed, it was too troublesome.

He walked to the edge of the bed and said, "Can't you let him sleep next to him? Let's sleep on the other side?"

Li Wenxiu gave him a charming look: "You think so?"

Wang Lin chuckled: "Listen outside, the cannons are ringing!"

"For the New Year, of course we have to set off fireworks!" Li Wenxiu said, "I was afraid that the fireworks would startle the baby, so I let him sleep in the middle, so it's safe."

Wang Lin squeezed beside her: "Let him sleep on the side! Let's sleep on the side."
