Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 193 Mother-in-law is happy

Lin Laogen carried the vegetable basket home and walked quickly with his head down as usual.

In the past, when he came back, everyone would point fingers at him and say some weird things.

Hate the poor and love the rich, praise the high and depress the low, this has never changed.

Especially after the son-in-law took over the match factory, he created a "troublesome atmosphere". Everyone vented their dissatisfaction and confusion about the future to their family.

But now, everything has changed.
"Old Lin, you're back from shopping for groceries."

"Lao Lin, are you free tonight? Let's have a drink together."

"By the way, Lao Lin, I went to the Dazhamen market yesterday and received two good-looking walnuts. I sent them to you earlier. Do you have time to give me a hand?"

As soon as he entered the community, some elderly adults crowded around him and said to him with smiles on their faces.

This made Lin Laogen feel flattered.

Everyone talked to him with smiles on their faces, and Lin Laogen naturally smiled and agreed with them, and finally parted ways with each other smiling.

On the way home, Lin Laogen was at a loss, and Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

As soon as I opened the door and entered the home, I saw and heard my wife Wang Xinhong humming a song while cleaning, and she was in a very good mood.

He took off his shoes and put on slippers, and was about to take the dishes to the kitchen, but as soon as he took two steps, he saw several bags of pork belly on the dining table in the living room.

"I said it's wrong with you, buying so much meat!"

"I told you to save the meat tickets and use them sparingly. You use them all at once, and then you eat the northwest wind, right?"

Lin Laogen's good mood immediately exploded, and he looked at his wife and said angrily with dissatisfaction.

These days, different units issue different amounts of meat tickets, with good units slightly more and bad units less.

Lin Laogen and his wife do not have an employer. They used to use Lin Guoshan's meat stamps from the match factory. If they did not have enough, they would pay for other people's meat stamps.

Looking at the several kilograms of pork belly, Mr. Lin could tell that his wife had gone crazy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This was a gift from a neighbor."

"Am I willing to buy so much at once? Really, this is from Aunt Cui's family, this is from Lao Li's family, and this is from Xiaolan."

"I even said I didn't want it, but they were still so polite and insisted on stuffing it for me. There was nothing I could do."

Wang Xinlan rolled her eyes at her husband and explained, but as she spoke, her face beamed with joy.

"Why do they send meat?"

"There won't be any trouble, will it?"

Lin Laogen frowned, and then thought about the polite manners of the neighbors at the door when he came back today, and he became more and more confused and puzzled.

"You don't know yet? You are such a stuffy gourd, that is, at home, you are in front of me. Outside, the teacher is so flattering that you can't even get a fart out of your head."

"Everyone in the whole match factory family knows about such a big thing, but you still don't know about it."

Wang Xinhong quarreled with her husband, and then told him what happened.

"Everyone said that after Huajiang took over, the match factory was alive and well. They worked overtime all day long to catch up on work. As a result, there were more and more orders, and the delivery date was pushed to a week or two later."

"The Cui family is very close to me. Doesn't his boy have nothing to do? In the past, the match factory was not good, so he didn't let his boy enter the factory. Now that the business is good, he has made up his mind again. This old woman But he is very shrewd and very philistine."

"Old Li's family said they came here for a visit and asked you to help with the palm eye and so on. Now, it's that wooden core. That girl Xiaolan didn't say anything, but judging from her appearance, she probably wanted to join the factory or help her brother. , but I was too thin-skinned and didn’t say it for a while.”

Wang Xinlan was beaming with joy when she said that, with a happy expression on her face.

Only then did Lin Laogen realize that no wonder the previous neighbors had changed their attitudes towards him.

Then I looked at the two walnuts that my wife took out. Oh dear, these are complete lion heads. I have seen Lao Li holding them and playing with them since last year. They are so precious.

And there's patina on it, so it's obviously a few years old, so it's definitely unmistakable.

Lin Laogen immediately understood that Lao Li Tou probably thought he was jealous and gave it to him as an excuse to ask him to help with his eyes.

"Return all this meat. Why don't we cause trouble to Huajiang?"

"The factory is just getting better now, so why don't we just take it easy."

Lin Laogen had a mental struggle, especially the pair of lion heads made him look hard several times.

"It sounds like I take the initiative to accept gifts. Do I, a woman, have that ability?"

"And they also made it clear that they were either here to ask us for help or to ask if the match factory is still hiring. If we don't work overtime, everyone is extremely busy. Maybe there is a shortage of people in Huajiang."

"If you're afraid of losing face, I'll go and ask."

Wang Xinhong said dissatisfiedly that there were some things she did not tell her husband honestly.

That was when everyone came to give gifts earlier, she was so happy that she agreed with each other's compliments.

I have never seen this kind of battle before. In the past, she was the only one who praised others and said good things. Now it's the other way around, and she just feels happy in her heart.

Secondly, she also felt that what everyone said was right. Anyway, it was just to mention it to her son-in-law, so what a big deal.

"You stupid bitch, I'm going to piss you off to death."

"Are you and I allowed to get involved in this matter? If you say it so directly, will Hua Jiang feel happy?"

"Have you forgotten what caused this match factory incident? Don't cause any trouble for me!"

Lin Laogen looked at his mother-in-law and said angrily.

The other party thinks everything is simple. This match factory is a thorn in the son-in-law's heart!
It was the thorn that helped his son Lin Guoshan clean up the mess and spent tens of thousands of dollars to settle it.

You have just made some money now, and you don’t even know when you will get it back, so you want to find someone to arrange with Chen Huajiang?
This is not which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

Wang Xinhong felt a little nervous when she saw him being so serious. Although she muttered her dissatisfaction, she still walked out with the meat.

Time passed day by day, and because business was so good, Chen Huajiang added another set of machines to the match factory.

At the same time, Wang Xinhong couldn't help but go to Chen Huajiang and gave him a kiss in the name of giving him chicken soup.

Chen Huajiang could see Wang Xinhong's thoughts at a glance. He thought that he had to continue working in the match factory during the four years of the lease, so he nodded and accepted the other person's words.

"As long as his character is good, his hands and feet are good, and he is a relative of the match factory's family, he can be brought over for a visit."

"At that time, I will ask Wang Gong to take them and inspect them. If they can do it, I will stay."

Chen Huajiang said with a smile, giving his mother-in-law face.

Wang Xinhong was naturally happy when she heard this, and kept telling him to drink more chicken soup.

After Chen Huajiang finished drinking the chicken soup, she quickly packed away the thermos cup and left humming a tune.

Obviously she wanted to go back and show off to the neighbors and sisters who asked her for help.
