mom is single

Chapter 14



Lin Jiajia feels that opening the store near the school has an advantage, that is, whenever the school is closed on holidays, especially national statutory holidays, she can also give herself a holiday.

So after opening the store for almost half a year and the business gradually stabilized, Lin Jiajia waved her hand: Closed on New Year's Day!And Liu Cancan, as the only employee under her, was finally able to rest for a few days in a row. Lin Jiajia also generously gave a red envelope for the holidays, which made the little girl happy.

In fact, there is another big event this holiday - the second brother is going to get engaged.Ever since Chen Xiaofei started helping the store with business, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.Lin Jiajia also liked this future sister-in-law who was occasionally ghostly and sometimes gentle and pleasant, so although Chen Xiaofei hadn't paid a formal visit to the Lin family, she had already received good reviews from within the Lin family.

So for this engagement banquet, everyone in the Lin family was able to come back.When Lin Jiajia vented to Chen Xiaofei in private, she also introduced the general situation of the Lin family again. After all, she expected that bastard Lin Jianjian to introduce her. The future sister-in-law must be a little confused when she sees a large group of people.

What Lin Jiajia didn't know was that because of her kindness, Chen Xiaofei's family also had a relatively positive impression of her as a divorced person who returned to her mother's family, which also gave Lin Jiajia a great help in the subsequent "rumours" incident, which was a kind of kindness. Good results have been reaped!
……

Early in the morning, everyone in the small courtyard of the Lin family got busy. From Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, Father Lin and Mother Lin to the sugar bag, they were all dressed up.Especially Lin's mother, who is about to be promoted to a mother-in-law, is beaming from inside to outside. Lin Jiajia laughs that her mother is always in good spirits on happy occasions, and she looks ten years younger all of a sudden.If it was normal, he would definitely get a blank stare, but today he was flattered by his daughter with peace of mind.

The sugar bag kid is wearing a red retro dress today, which Chen Xiaofei and Lin Jianjian bought from shopping in the city a few days ago.Lin Jiajia specially replaced the sugar bag today, which is considered appropriate for the occasion.

In fact, in villages and towns, divorced women generally try to avoid attending festive occasions such as engagement and marriage, saying that they are afraid of being overjoyed.But because neither of the two families is fastidious, and the Chen family specifically asked Lin Jiajia to be there, everyone didn't care about it.

When Lin Jiajia chatted with Lin's father and Lin's mother in private, she also expressed her intentions. If the other party is sensible, everyone will be happy, but if it is really taboo, she will take a sugar bag to hide for a day.Fortunately, the result was satisfactory, and it was not in vain for her to make friends with Chen Xiaofei.And Mr. Lin, who had always kept this matter in mind, also praised the Chen family's good family style after knowing it. He resolutely disagreed and would not wrong his eldest granddaughter because of anyone or anything.

Not to mention that, the Lin family has already packed up and is almost ready to go. Lin Jianjian warmed up the car and hurried in to ask his grandparents to get in the car. Lin Jiajia also drove with a sugar bag and Lin Hao who stayed here after returning from school last night. go to the hotel.

Along the way, Lin Hao teased the candy bag and chattered. One was just two and a half years old and still couldn’t complete his sentence, and the other was about to graduate from junior high school but was still a bunch of childish. Quite a lot.Lin Jiajia just laughed at one sentence, and laughed all the way.

When we got to the hotel, the second uncle's family and the younger uncle's couple had already arrived in a commercial vehicle.Lin Jiajia hurriedly sent Lin Hao to help them get the gifts for the woman and the matchmaker, while she held the sugar bag, and the group went to the private room that had been booked before.

Not long after sitting down, the Chen family and the matchmaker also arrived. Lin's father and Lin's mother brought Lin Jianjian to welcome them. Everyone sat down according to their priority.Because there was a discussion before, the number of people coming from the Chen family was about the same as that of the Lin family, and they happened to be divided into two seats.

Because Lin Jiajia had chatted with Chen Xiaofei, she knew that those sitting there should be Chen's father and mother, Chen Xiaofei's brother and sister-in-law, Chen's second uncle's family, and Chen's aunt's family.Sure enough, the matchmaker Aunt Wang got up and introduced the two families to each other. They were the people Lin Jiajia had guessed.Although it is usually the woman's side, but the grandparents of the Chen family are gone, so everyone subconsciously focuses on Mr. Lin's side.

Aunt Wang took a set of gold and silver jewelry and a red envelope of [-] yuan from Mother Lin to Mother Chen, and mentioned several boxes of tobacco, wine and tea placed on the table in the private room.Then he pushed Chen Xiaofei out and offered a cup of sweet tea to Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, Father Lin and Mother Lin and changed his words, and then received four more red envelopes.

Lin Jianjian also attended and brought Chen Xiaofei to serve tea to the rest of the Lin family and friends, and changed their mouths to accept red envelopes. When Lin Jiajia arrived, Chen Xiaofei blushed again, making Lin Jiajia speechless with laughter, and said nothing to tease the prospective sister-in-law. He drank the tea refreshingly and stuffed a big red envelope.

Next, Mother Lin went over to put the gold necklace on Chen Xiaofei, and Lin Jianjian and Chen Xiaofei also helped each other put on the engagement ring.

Although the process was short, it was full of ritual. Lin Jiajia watched with relish all the time, so she didn't notice the regret that Lin's mother couldn't hide when she looked at her.

Next, everyone had a peaceful meal. Because there were old and young, everyone didn't delay too much. After the Chen family put the return gift and a suit bought for Lin Jianjian by Chen Xiaofei in the car, everyone also We have to go home.

Lin Hao was taken back to their business car by the ear by his uncle, and the sugar bag was also carried away by Lin Chu, so Lin Jiajia's car was empty.While waiting for the cars in front to come out, Lin Jiajia looked at the matchmaker who smiled the most exaggeratedly in the crowd. Thinking of the usual image of matchmakers in TV dramas, Lin Jiajia secretly laughed for a while.

Aunt Wang didn't know that she was secretly seen as a "joke" in her heart, she only knew that she was really happy today, not only because she could get a matchmaker gift, but also because it was so easy to get.She didn't have any hope in herself, she just set up a line for the two young people, and then she was never used again, thinking that it would be nothing.It was only when the Chen family came to her that she realized that the two families were already looking forward to getting engaged. This made her very proud, and she felt that she was a relatively "spiritual" old man!

But Lin Jiajia looked at it coldly, the matchmaker was actually not an easy job, unless it was a reasonable person like the Lin and Chen families, otherwise, if there was something dirty, the matchmaker would be the most complained about.

When they got home, the elders still went back to their houses to replenish their strength, and Lin Jianjian, who had just completed a major event in his life, was still in a state of excitement.Lin Jiajia could only shake her head slightly when she heard the laughter of two people and a dog in the yard. None of the uncles in the family was "reliable". I hope that my second-hand younger brother will become a little more mature after getting married.

……

When Lin Jiajia woke up the next day, she found that it had rained last night. To be precise, it was sleet, but it was the first snow this year.Tucked the corner of the quilt for the sugar bag who was still sleeping soundly, and told Lin Jianjian who was washing to listen to the movement in the room, wrapped himself tightly and prepared to go out for a walk.

The road surface was still a little wet, but the road paved with cultural bricks was not muddy at all, and the "concrete road" that Lin Jiajia remembered was difficult but full of fun was gone.Looking up at the quiet surroundings, Lin Jiajia suddenly lost the good mood and sense of anticipation she had when she went out just now. She didn't know whether it was because of the sadness of her childhood that never came back, or regret for being alone now.

Just as she turned to go home, Lin Jiajia found a small dirt road that hadn't been "intensively repaired". She walked over subconsciously, regardless of whether the shoes on her feet were suitable.When her feet were on the slightly muddy ground, Lin Jiajia found that the inexplicable bad mood just now had disappeared.

It may be because she went to elementary school in the village for several years when she was a child, or it may be that her childhood was very rare. Lin Jiajia still likes the small dirt road that is half dry and half muddy for a day or two after the rain.It seems difficult to walk, but in fact, some predecessors have secretly "marked".As long as you are a little careful, the sense of security you take with each step is, in Lin Jiajia's opinion, a kind of wonder of "growing lotuses every step of the way".

After walking a few steps, Lin Jiajia unexpectedly found a flowering glass emerald in a corner. Such a severe cold weather is really rare.While proud of my luck to see beautiful things, I still didn't forget to take out my phone from my coat pocket, and took several photos from a good angle.I looked around again and found that there was nothing interesting to do. Gussing that Tangbao was about to wake up, I returned home full of joy.

On the other side of the wall, behind a slightly opened window upstairs, a pair of eyes sparkled as if they had discovered a wonderful treasure in this world.
