I can really play with it

The jeep was driving on the way home, and the listless sun in the distance had already sunk halfway. The setting sun shone on the river surface on both sides, coating it with a layer of light orange.

Father Lin still seemed very excited, and kept talking about interesting jokes he had stolen from some fishing friends, and also said that he would make loach soup from those little loaches.

But at a certain moment, his voice suddenly stopped and became quiet.

Su Yueliang fell asleep.

She didn't sleep well last night, and played hard all day today, her physical strength has reached its limit.

With the comfortable slight tremor of the jeep, I soon fell asleep.

Leaning gently on Lin Qi's shoulder, breathing steadily and evenly.

Her hair was wrapped around Lin Qi's ear, making Lin Qi feel itchy.

"It doesn't matter how unique her family's circumstances are.

The important thing is that a girl resolutely chooses to go home with you during this Spring Festival, and she has no sense of guard during the whole process.

"Fall asleep."

But the attitudes of the relatives towards Lin Qi's family are quite different. They highly praised the happy life of Lin Qi's family, and praised Lin Qi as the undisputed number one among the juniors among so many relatives.

The process is also very fixed, that is, book a relatively high-end restaurant and find the largest private room.

"I will carefully consider my every action and decision."

Lin's father and Lin's mother didn't stop him from doing this, and it was enough for adults to bear some pressure.

"But if he doesn't give up and wants to be aggressive, then I don't mind making him a little bit of a clown."

They saw Lin Qi's strength when he returned home this time, and they fully believed that their son was no longer the immature child he used to be.

Lin's father seemed to want to discuss something with Lin Qi, which was not in line with his usual style. Normally, father and son would open their mouths directly when they wanted to talk, and there was no need for such a prelude.

As a matter of course, he would attend relative gatherings with the elderly at home.

Lin Qi answered his father in this way.

They always put more effort into the menu than other relatives.

He basically grew up with Lin's father. Logically speaking, such a relationship should be very strong in the previous generation's kinship interaction, but this person behaved extremely badly.

Although life is not rich, the family never loses confidence in the future.

During this period, my cousin found a little sense of responsibility as a father. Although life and work are still in the same place, he will go home to accompany his children every New Year.

You can't live up to her. "

Father Lin finally spoke out what was on his mind.

He was hostile to his cousin in his heart, complaining why he had to be so honest, why his father had to use him as a blueprint to restrain himself.

All of this is just to vent his dissatisfaction over the years.

His reputation is getting better and better, and he has gradually become the core figure in relative gatherings, and the standard of gatherings is subtly raised by him.

Lin's father did not stop Lin Qi's thoughts.

Lin Qi recalled what Father Lin had said to him the first night when he returned home.

The child was finally placed in the foster care of his grandparents, but his whereabouts were uncertain. Sometimes he worked in other places, and sometimes he would return to his hometown to stay for a long time, but he never paid too much responsibility for the child.

Parents aren't really that into it.

This uncle is about 2 years younger than Lin's father, and their family has always been very close to Lin Qi's grandfather, and they have a lot of contacts.

"That's fine, that's fine"

But as a partygoer, it is unrealistic not to participate at the table at all, so you can only bite the bullet and go to the table with great psychological pressure, and then forcefully smile after others win the cards, and walk away from the table with trembling fingers. From the drawer of the mahjong table, he took out the hundred-yuan bills bought with blood and sweat, took a deep breath, handed them to the card player, and then continued to start the next game with fear.

Father Lin's soft words interrupted Lin Qi's thoughts.

Lin Qi's cousin.

Especially when there is an extremely sharp contrasting object, this kind of stick education is quite convenient to implement.

If it is necessary to find a "blame culprit" for the unhealthy evolution of the original normal relatives' reunion, Lin Qi thinks he can find it.

She is completely at ease with you and has never had any suspicions.

It would be nice for everyone to have a peaceful dinner together.”

Father Lin let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's the relative gathering tomorrow, Dad hopes that you will not make the scene embarrassing for the sake of so many relatives who have treated us well.

As soon as one manages to hold them, all the mistakes one has made in the past can be glorified and rationalized.

"Oh, I hope not."

Uncle Biao suddenly found his own opportunities in other places, successfully made a fortune, and became the person with the best financial conditions among these relatives.

In terms of personal emotions and marriage, under the introduction of others, Lin's father married the shrewd and capable Lin mother, and gave birth to Lin Qi. His life was prosperous and enjoyable, but the life of this cousin was chaotic. It was a mess, a very abrupt marriage, and a very abrupt divorce a few years later, leaving a son who was awarded to him and left alone.

You have to look at Father Lin in everything. A child like Father Lin is a good boy. As long as your daily behavior is different from your cousin, you have to change it!
If you don't want to change it, hit it!Hit until you change it!

Therefore, this uncle's childhood and youth life always lived in the shadow of Lin's father.

Lin Qi's family did not stay with grandma for the night, but rushed back to the county in the dark, preparing to attend a relative gathering starting tomorrow.

Why don't you understand this truth yourself?
It's just that it's really unfair to her
"Son, is Xiao Su fast asleep?"

These years have passed, Lin's father and Lin's mother are basically losers in the party, but the one who loses the most is not the one who loses the most. Even though the economic conditions are the most economical, they are forced to be the losers year after year. The relative gathering has become a complete pressure field, which in itself is a very ironic thing.

In short, everything has been distorted into another state.

He became the most humiliating one at the party.

In the parenting philosophy of the grandparents, children are basically educated by sticks. If they cause trouble and are disobedient, they should be beaten, and the more disobedient they are, the more they will be beaten.

Gradually, Lin Qi participated in fewer and fewer parties. Sometimes he would rather ask a classmate he knew well to go to the old street to have a meal of Malatang for less than 20 yuan, rather than feel the torment. atmosphere of.

Later, with the great changes in the domestic economic situation, Lin's father and Lin's mother's unit closed down, and both of them became laid-off workers. His son, Lin Qi, was very competitive.

Sour.

And this cousin, because of his long-term rebellion, cannot enter a formal unit, and can only become an idle unemployed person, at the bottom of the chain of contempt in his hometown.

The reason is simple, because the first meal does not need to be compared with the previous ones, even if the dishes are not so good, it will not bring the disappointment and contrast of "not as good as the previous meal".

Their ordinary little home is like a small sampan moving alone in the monstrous waves, without any fault tolerance.

When adults play cards, they always use real money as chips for winning or losing, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger, gradually reaching a point where Lin Qi's family can't bear it.

He has been a very naughty person since he was a child. He also did not receive much cultural education, but he took a completely different life path from Lin's father.

"Then dad wants to tell you something."

Not only did he have excellent grades since he was a child, but his personality, manners, and habits are also among the best among his peers.

From this moment, Lin Qicai really understood his father. Father Lin is not a heartless and blindly optimistic person. On the contrary, he is a person who is as wise as a fool and as sensitive as his mother. The difference between him and Mother Lin is that he Instead of repeatedly chewing those sad and unpleasant things in my heart, I chose the most relaxed way of life.

But ordering food is not the only source of stress. There is also a more direct source, that is, playing mahjong and poker among relatives.

But from the perspective of probability, if you don't properly grasp your own luck, you will still lose when someone else is Hu Dafan.

At the poker table, it is very difficult to win money with blindly conservative tactics. Even if it is the smallest fan, Lin's father and Lin's mother will choose to immediately discard it, because they will definitely not lose money.

How should I order food so that it doesn’t appear to be too different from everyone’s order, but can save money as much as possible?
I don’t know when it started, but there are signs of comparison in the matter of ordering dishes. Everyone wants to show their economic strength as much as possible, and the dishes served from the back kitchen have gradually become extravagant and expensive. .

Father Lin made a slight detour. When he mentioned "relatives who are good to us", the subtext is "there are relatives who are not good to us". For the heavy.

Money and capital is a terrible thing, they have unique magic power in the world.

In recent years, the rounds of treats for parents have become more and more advanced, and they even compete for the first treat.

This is the amount that Lin's father and Lin's mother could only save after several months of frugality.

The difference between winning and losing in one day can reach five figures.

Lin's father and Lin's mother often help take care of this child. On weekends, they will take him home to study and play with Lin Qi. Every New Year's day, Lin's father and Lin's mother will buy the child new clothes.

As soon as Father Lin's words came out of his mouth, Lin Qi basically understood.

Lin Qi's family is just the most ordinary family in the world, and they can't spend so much money to fight for this so-called honorable title.

Is that so?

They just want to maintain the family's self-esteem to the greatest extent, that's all.

Each family takes a turn to invite a lunch or dinner, so six or seven families can play together for three or four days. The entertainment activities are also very fixed, that is, playing mahjong and poker.

This is an extremely rare psychological state.

When he was old enough to work, Lin's father entered the best unit in the area, his work and life became stable, and happiness seemed to be just around the corner.

These words further pricked my cousin's sensitive heart.

The progress bar of time has been stretched to the last few years, which is the stage when Lin Qi is going to enter university as an adult.

Lin Qi could tell that she would not wake up for a while.

At the party, the relatives were not too enthusiastic about him, and they couldn't help but compare him with Lin's father. He neither fulfilled the responsibility of a junior, nor was he a good father. Afterwards, he directly pointed out the problem and asked him why he was still so ignorant at such an old age.

Clear your troubles, and then forget your troubles.

Father Lin has always been the honest type since he was a child. Although he doesn't like to talk, he is well-behaved and has no wrong thoughts. However, this cousin has a lot of thoughts in his head since he was a child, and he always does a lot of things that are unacceptable. .

Of course, everyone didn't believe this kind of statement when he first became an "upstart", but as he gradually demonstrated his economic strength, pushing glasses on the wine table and swaying at the card table, everything changed. Get up as you should.

"Tell me." Lin Qi didn't want to make the atmosphere so serious. From his perspective, there was nothing difficult in his hometown.

The meals for each meal are not fixed, and the family who treats the guests decides what to eat, so this link reflects the economic strength of each relative's family.

Worrying, this sentence is the best way to describe it.

But Lin's father and Lin's mother had no choice, and those thrilling basic amounts could not help them to use their full luck.

The purpose of coming here for excitement and friendship in the past has become superficial, and everyone seems to care more about who has more face.

betray
Lin Qi's face turned bitter.

Lin Qi added another sentence.

But as he grew older, Lin Qi gradually realized other meanings behind this activity.

Lin Qi remembered that when he was young, he liked this kind of gathering very much. He could eat very delicious meals for several days in a row, and he could also see many relatives gathered together lively.

Being idle can be said to be looking for opportunities, and not supporting parents and educating children can be said to be considering the overall situation.

In Lin Qi's impression, such gatherings started once or twice a year since he was in elementary school.

When years of bitterness and pain, years of humiliation and knots find an outlet, what kind of consequences will it cause?

This is a gathering of relatives on the father's side, including various uncles and uncles' families, as well as grandparents of the older generation.

But in fact, Lin's father's family did nothing wrong. Lin's father loved this cousin even since he was a child, and would leave him any good things.

In addition to these, he still has the biggest unresolved knot.

"Revenge" against Lin Qi's family.

He may not even know the specific composition of this knot, and there is no need to study it clearly!
Whether Lin Qi's family did anything wrong is not important at all.

All he has to do now is just enjoy and maximize the pleasure he creates for himself.

So something must be done to this family, the psychological shadow of more than ten years must be liquidated!
