Chapter 63 Don't Say What You Shouldn't Say

When Lin Feifan returned home, he found his family having dinner.

After saying hello to his uncle and aunt, Lin Feifan told his father to fix the bicycle tonight, but he did not expect his father to fix the bicycle before dinner.

"Dad, have you removed a chain yet?" Lin Feifan asked.

Lin Youde said: "It didn't loosen after two knots, the front and rear tires were pumped up, the axles and chains were lubricated, and the ride is much easier now."

Lin Feifan's uncle, Yao Qingzhong, was drinking white wine alone. Seeing Lin Feifan trying to pedal his bicycle, he said, "Fanfan, now that he is working, why are you riding a broken bicycle? Go buy a motorcycle."

Lin Feifan smiled and said, "I really want to buy a motorcycle, but I have no money. The monthly salary is only more than 300 yuan. I don't know if it will be paid in time. I heard that sometimes the salary cannot be paid for half a year."

"Why do I want your money? Ask your dad to give it to you." Yao Qingzhong took a sip of wine, put a peanut in his mouth, and chewed it with relish, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and buy Fei Fei a motorcycle so that he can commute to get off work." Make it easier."

Lin Youde smiled without saying a word, and ate his meals unhurriedly. He only liked to smoke, but he never drank alcohol. Usually when relatives came to the house, the relatives poured their own drinks.

"Brother-in-law, you should say something." Yao Qingzhong urged.

Lin Feifan put down his bicycle, walked into the room and said, "Uncle, don't make things difficult for my dad. Asking him to pay for a motorcycle is impossible. He only wants to build a house in Lingnan Town."

"Fan Fei, wait a minute." Yao Qingzhong shouted.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Lin Feifan said standing at the door of the room.

"Someday you go to the place where motorcycles are sold in the county, find a motorcycle you like, and see how much it costs. I will lend you money to buy a car."

"No, thank you Uncle! Jinghu Junior High School is a short distance from home, I can just ride a bicycle." Lin Feifei finished speaking and entered the room. He wanted to review the adult college entrance examination books quickly, and he didn't have any time to spare during the day.

I really want to buy a motorcycle, but the price is astronomical.Dad's dream is to build a house. Before building a house, it would be wishful thinking for Dad to pay for a car.

I believe my uncle is telling the truth when he said that he borrowed money to buy a car, but he has to pay back the borrowed money. My uncle's family is not financially well-off, the house is flooded, and the family has no place to live.

It will take two or three years to pay off the money for buying motorcycles by relying on wages.

Lin Feifan opened the book and thought about buying a motorcycle for a while, then shook his head with a smile.

You shouldn't even think about buying a motorcycle, it's a luxury.

Can't compare with Fan Qiang, he is a rich second generation.

The son of a poor peasant family has to rely on himself. The most important thing at present is to work hard.

We must strive to be admitted to Jianghuai Normal University, and my father is happy to give the money for studying.

If you can go to college with Fan Feilin, it will be much happier than riding a motorcycle.

After rubbing his face and combing his hair with ten fingers, Lin Feifan picked up the pen, read the book seriously, and drew circles on the book from time to time...

In the main room, Yao Qingzhong said: "Brother-in-law, it's not a problem that you often rest at home. How about I go and talk to Fan Tong, and you also go to his construction site to work. He has something to do there every day. He is now a big worker on the construction site. The salary is 20 yuan a day for workers, and 15 yuan a day for small workers, which is higher than the standard in other places.”

Yao Qingzhong is also a mason and has been doing masonry work under Fan Tong for many years.

Lin Youde looked at his son's room and said in a low voice, "Don't mention this, I won't go."

Yao Qingzhong glanced at his brother-in-law, took a sip of his wine, and said boldly, "You are struggling with money. After so many years, why do you still care so much?"

Wu Xiulan ate in silence, her eyes never leaving her husband.

Wu Xiuzhi also looked at her brother-in-law without blinking, waiting for her brother-in-law's response.

Yao Qingzhong has mentioned this matter many times, but he said it very tactfully before...

My brother-in-law is a good stonemason with high skills, and Yao Qingzhong feels it is a pity to be idle at home every day.

Lin Youde speeded up his meal, and there was no smile on his face. He didn't say until he finished the rice in the bowl: "I don't care, but people care. Even if Lin Youde is poor, I won't go to his Fan Tong Work on the construction site, please don't mention this in the future."

"If you don't go, don't go. Why are you losing your temper? Qingzhong is also kind." Wu Xiulan thought her husband's face was too ugly.

Lin Youde became angry all of a sudden, and roared in a low voice: "You also want me to work for Fan Tong? You envy him for getting rich, don't you?"

"You..." Wu Xiulan was so angry that she touched her tears, "There are so many in our family... Do I need to envy others for getting rich?"

"Snapped--"

Wu Xiuzhi stood up and slapped her husband's arm: "I'm telling you to talk nonsense. Why are you bringing up this old story? Just to make my brother-in-law angry. Don't underestimate my brother-in-law! Even Fan Tong is no match for my brother-in-law, but my brother-in-law has been hiding it all the time." Covering it, unwilling to show off, no one can be richer than brother-in-law! Unlike you, you only have three bad money in your pocket, and you yell everywhere!"

Wu Xiulan glared at her younger sister: "How many times have I told you that there are some things that cannot be said in front of children! Your brother-in-law is a poor man, why are you hiding it?"

Yao Xiaodong, who had been concentrating on eating, stopped his chopsticks and looked at the adults stupidly, at a loss.

Lin Youde patted Yao Xiaodong's head, his face softened, and he whispered, "Hurry up and eat, it's nothing serious, and when you go to your room, don't tell your cousin about these things."

The sound of beating still alarmed Lin Feifan. He walked to the door of the room, leaned out, and asked, "Who hit whom? It's so loud."

Wu Xiulan quickly turned her head away, avoiding her son's gaze, and touched her eyes repeatedly with her hands.

"Oh...oh, your aunt saw a mosquito on my arm, so she slapped me." Yao Qingzhong said with a smile.

Wu Xiuzhi laughed together and said, "Yes, yes, what a big mosquito."

"Auntie, you beat me too hard." After Lin Feifei finished speaking, he went back to his room to read a book.

"How heavy is it? It was just a light pat." Wu Xiuzhi said loudly.

Seeing Lin Feifan go to the room, Yao Qingzhong's expression suddenly turned painful, and he grinned and said, "It's not serious! Look, it's like being kicked by a donkey."

Everyone stretched their necks to look, and saw a slap print on the thick arm, and five finger prints were clearly visible.

"Oh, Xiuzhi, you're too harsh." Wu Xiulan wiped away her tears and blamed her sister.

A smile appeared on Lin Youde's face again, and he said, "It's time to fight!"

"Snapped--"

Wu Xiulan also patted her husband's arm and blamed her, "You should do it too!"

Lin Youde frowned, grinned in pain, and this slap was not light.

Yao Qingzhong and Wu Xiuzhi couldn't help laughing.

The warm and harmonious atmosphere returned to the dinner table.

Yao Xiaodong laughed as he watched the adults laughing and chatting, and picked up the chopsticks and ate the food.

"Another bowl of rice?" Wu Xiulan asked her husband.

"Forget it, don't eat too much at night." Lin Youde said.

"Then I'll serve you a bowl of crispy rice porridge." Wu Xiulan picked up her husband's rice bowl and went to the kitchen.

Wu Xiuzhi said: "Brother-in-law, look how kind my sister is to you! You can't make her angry. You really hurt her with what you said just now."

Lin Youde sighed, with a face of shame, he accepted the criticism from his wife and sister.

"My brother-in-law is also good to my sister. I don't want to go out to work, and I don't want to go to the county to work. I always hate to leave my sister." Yao Qingzhong added some wine to the glass.

"You drink less wine and mention work again. Are you drinking too much?" Wu Xiuzhi snatched the bottle and put it on the table.

"I mean going to other places to work and work in the county, not Fan Tong's construction site." Yao Qingzhong's tongue was a little stiff when he spoke.

"Snapped--"

Wu Xiuzhi hit her husband again.

"Why did you hit me again?" Yao Qingzhong looked aggrieved.

At this time, Wu Xiulan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of crispy rice porridge, and said coldly, "It's time to hit! Don't say anything you shouldn't say."

"...Uh, I see." The tone of the usually amiable elder sister was a little cold at this time, which made Yao Qingzhong's heart tighten, and he suddenly sobered up a little.

Lin Youde took the bowl brought by his wife, glanced at his wife with soft eyes, smiled lightly and said: "Don't blame Qing Zhong, he is really kind, just blame me for not being grateful."
