On New Year's Eve, every family posted peach charms under Tianshou Mountain, and Lingcun, shrouded in white snow, gained a little more color.

The New Year atmosphere is particularly strong at Lin Qiushan’s house.

Dongxue, Hele, and Hexi, who were wearing new coats, were eating snacks in their arms and playing around in the yard. Lin Qiushan led his eldest son and grandson to be busy shedding chicken feathers. Geng took his eldest daughter-in-law The eldest granddaughter was washing various fresh vegetables, and the pregnant Ma helped with some small tasks.

Unstoppable smile on everyone's face.

While Mrs. Geng was busy working, she told her daughter-in-law to go farther away and not come closer to this place for fear that she would fall.Madam Ma responded with a smile, but her feet did not move.

Ordinary women in farmers' families are still busy in the fields the day before giving birth, which is not so precious.Since she became pregnant, her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece took over all the work, and she just sat back and enjoyed the happiness.Now the whole family is busy with the New Year's Eve meal. She can't help with big tasks, but she can still do some small tasks, and the baby in her belly doesn't make any fuss.

"Mom, sit here and watch, listen to grandma and don't lean over." The sensible Dongxue dragged a small stool over and pulled Ma to sit on it.

"Okay, mother, sit down." Ma agreed with a smile and pinched her daughter's fleshy face gently.Over the past six months, she has been eating all kinds of things, and this girl has put on a lot of fat. Her father might not be able to recognize her if he comes back.

Dongxue raised her little face and smiled, letting her mother pinch her.He handed over the dried fruit in his arms and said, "Mom, eat the dried fruit."

"If mother doesn't eat it, Dongxue will eat it."

"Mom, do you eat nuts? Dongxue will peel walnuts for you." The paper-skinned peaches brought back by my brother are so big that they can be peeled even by Dongxue without hitting them with a hammer.

"Okay, peel off Dongxue for mother!"

Ma accepted her daughter's kindness and watched with a smile as she trotted into the house, ran out again holding a bag of walnuts, and called her two brothers to peel the walnuts together.

"Let's peel more walnuts for my mother. My elder brother said that if my mother eats more walnuts, the little brother in her belly will be very smart and will be able to study like my elder brother in the future!"

"Then I have to become smarter too!"

He Le put the freshly peeled walnuts into his mouth and smacked them. They tasted delicious. Dongxue was so angry that she went to slap him, saying that he was stealing food from his younger brothers and sisters.

Geng smiled and glanced at the children, sighing in her heart. In previous years, there was no shortage of food at home, but it was only enough to keep the family full, and there was no such rich supply of fresh vegetables, meat, and fruits in winter.

There is not so much money saved.

Last night, she and the old man calculated this year's income. They didn't know what to expect, but they were shocked when they calculated it.

Since the old man went to the palace to make jewelry, King Yue has given him 62 taels for the work fee alone.The eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter not only brought back two pieces of good cloth, but also brought back ten taels of silver. This took less than a month.

And she and her daughter-in-law took over the work at home and received more than two taels of silver.Including the gains from various places and the 300 gold lost by Changshan, the family actually saved more than [-] taels of silver this year!
This is really unexpected.The family was able to save all this money this year.She was so happy that she and the old man didn't sleep well all night.

The old man discussed with her that she would take ten taels of gold with her when she left.This year Xi'er provided a lot of support to her family, and her family had nothing to give her, so they gave her ten taels of gold. I heard that the gold there is valuable.

Thinking like this, Geng glanced at the door and asked, "Are there any footsteps? Has Changzhi come back?"

When Dongxue heard this, she immediately jumped up, "I'll go take a look!"

Lin Zhaoxia got up early to pack her things. She would send Zhao Guangyuan and Chang Zhi back to Daqi soon, and then she would also go back to Hangzhou.

After cleaning up, I called Changzhi. Changzhi grumbled and refused to get up. He even crawled under the quilt and buried himself in it like a chrysalis.

Zhao Guangyuan frowned and slapped him on the back. Then Zhao Guangyuan also received a long kick on his foot.

Zhao Guangyuan hissed and was about to lift the quilt, until he called out "Mother", pulled off the quilt, jumped into Lin Zhaoxia's arms, and hung on her.

He hasn't gotten enough sleep.

Last night, he, his parents and his eldest uncle went out to have an early reunion dinner, and went to see the Bund together. They had fun outside, but they came back late and talked to their parents all night, so he didn't sleep at all. enough.And I can’t bear to leave my mother.

Lin Zhaoxia hugged him, swayed around for a few times, and coaxed him.Seeing his little head lying on her shoulder and his little body hanging on her body, I felt a surge of maternal love in my heart.

Zhao Guangyuan looked at it with some disapproval. He turned over the page and turned out to be six years old. How could he be like his mother when he was six years old?

While Lin Zhaoxia was swaying her son, she glanced at Zhao Guangyuan. Zhao Guangyuan looked at her for a second, then lay back, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes.

Lin Zhaoxia looked amused, raised her leg and shook him, "You can't afford it, didn't you say you wanted to take me to the train station?"

"It's still early." Zhao Guangyuan turned his reluctance into indolence, lying down unwilling to get up.

It would be better if you missed the train.

He stretched out his hand from the quilt and pulled her gently. Lin Zhaoxia fell on the bed and woke up Changzhi. He glanced at his father in confusion, and when he glared at her, he automatically got to the other side. Gone under the quilt.

Zhao Guangyuan lifted the quilt, pulled Lin Zhaoxia and lay back down, hugging her tightly from behind and resting his head on her shoulder.He couldn't bear to leave her.

"I came back in my second year of junior high school."

I don't want to be separated from her for a moment.Zhao Guangyuan closed his eyes and did not respond.

"Just two days apart."

Still no response, I hugged him tighter.He raised half of his body and glanced to the side, snorted, and received a slap on the foot from his father. He bared his teeth and raised his fist at his back, then lay back down again, unable to beat him. .

In the end, the father and son were still reluctant to leave, so they stood up, cleaned up, and drove Lin Zhaoxia to the train station.

On the way back, Changzhi checked his seat belt again in the back seat and said with some uncertainty: "Dad, don't be so showy. If it can't be driven, we'll park the car at the train station and wait until Mom comes back to drive it." go back?"

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at his nervous son in the rearview mirror, "Don't worry, dad has got his driver's license."

"But once you become a trainee driver, you will have to drive on an elevated highway for a while..." Changzhi nervously picked up the car seat.

Although dad looks like an experienced driver, is it really okay to show off like this?Mom didn't stop me either. They are such an unreliable pair of parents. Oh, worry.

Zhao Guangyuan was too lazy to argue with his son. He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped forward.

At 11:30, Lin Zhaoxia returned to her home in Hangcheng.

Father Lin was very happy to see her and took her to ask questions.Mother Lin took the big and small bags she brought back and complained about why she didn't come back until they had finished eating. She thought she came back late.

Lin Zhaoxia didn't pay much attention to her attitude and looked around the room, "Isn't Yanran back yet?"

Dad Lin pulled her to sit next to him, "No, we're on the way." He smiled and chatted with her. "I'm fine, dad, don't worry. Are you still taking the Chinese medicine? Are you feeling better..."

After chatting with Dad Lin for a few words, Lin Zhaoxia went into the kitchen to help.

Seeing that her mother had already prepared all the side dishes, she just waited for Yanran to come back and started cooking. There was nothing else to do for a while.After walking around the house, she returned to the room where she lived.

The original large house of the Lin family has been sold, and now the small house left has only two rooms. She and Lin Yanran were arranged to sleep in the same room. There was no room for two beds in the room, so a double room was placed. Built bed.

Lin Yanran slept on the lower bunk. Lin's mother had already laid out the sheets, quilts and pillowcases. She also spread an electric blanket to prevent Lin Yanran from being cold. There were also various sundries piled on the upper layer. Lin Zhaoxia looked at it blankly. With.

Mother Lin walked in, "There is no storage room at home. You don't come back usually, so you just put things up there. You can clean it up yourself later."

Lin Zhaoxia smiled: "Okay, Mom."

"The sheets and pillowcases are in the cabinet, you can get them yourself."

"Okay." Lin Zhaoxia responded with a smile, climbed to the upper bunk to clean up...

Halfway through cleaning up, Lin Yanran came back.Mother Lin happily helped her take her luggage into the house.

Lin Yanran stood at the door, fanned her nose with her hand, and stepped back, "Why is there so much dust?" She glanced at Lin Zhaoxia on the upper bunk, "You're back?"

Lin Zhaoxia smiled and nodded, "I'm back. You go to the living room and stay there first, I have to clean up now."

Lin Yanran turned around and went out. Lin's mother put down Lin Yanran's suitcase and said to Lin Zhaoxia, "Be gentle. How can she sleep if so much dust is thrown on Yanran's bed?"

He took a feather duster and dusted it again and again on Lin Yanran's bed. He took another quilt cover from the cabinet, covered the lower bunk tightly, and turned around and went out.

Lin Zhaoxia glanced at the lower bunk, and the sheets belonged to her.After being stunned for a while, he moved the things off the upper bunk as if nothing had happened, dusted and wiped them again, and then put on the bed covers, quilts, and pillowcases.

After lunch and a short rest, Lin Zhaoxia didn't go out. She was reading a book and checking her cell phone in the room.When Father Lin and Mother Lin woke up, they accompanied Father Lin for a walk around the community. When they came back, they prepared the New Year's Eve dinner with Mother Lin.

After the meal was ready, Lin Yanran also came back from outside. Several people had New Year's Eve dinner together. After eating, Lin Yanran was about to run out again. Lin's mother pulled him and said, "Where are we going again?"

"Getting together with friends." After saying that, he carried his bag and went out.

Mother Lin said something dissatisfied, and Father Lin echoed beside her, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't want to stay at home much. I just want to run out."

Mother Lin was unhappy again when she heard this, "She can't help her with her current job at home. She has to rely on her to build connections outside. How can she fall from the sky just by staying at home and working?"

Father Lin opened his mouth. Didn't you just say that she was out of the house and that she was burning her buttocks at home?But after taking a look at Mother Lin, he was too lazy to argue with her and shut up.

Lin Zhaoxia sat aside and said nothing, quietly peeling apples for Father Lin.

Seeing that she was silent, Mother Lin asked her, "Why can't you stay still? The fire at home is burning to your butt? Are you leaving in the second year of junior high?"

Lin Zhaoxia didn't even raise her head, "Yeah. You heard what Yanran said. Their crew has to film during the Chinese New Year. We are similar to them. The crew will ask us to change the script at any time and we have to be on call 24 hours a day."

After speaking, he pursed his lips.I felt a little sorry.

But thinking about how she would transfer the money back on time every month, what kind of medicine Father Lin wanted to take, and how Mother Lin would transfer money to her home if she asked, she felt a little guilty again.

In this home, she felt less and less warm.She became more and more polite to them.Lin Yanran could still run out when she got home, but she couldn't.

Seeing that Lin's mother wanted to say something else, Lin's father said: "Just go to work and you don't have to worry about the family. Dad can take care of himself now."

Lin Zhaoxia hummed softly and handed the apple to Father Lin's hand.Father Lin answered with a smile.

Lin Zhaoxia took another one and cut it for Mother Lin. Mother Lin glanced at her and then remembered the face of Lin Yanran she saw today. She frowned slightly. Yanran had changed so much that she almost didn't recognize it.

Staring at Lin Zhaoxia, "How much did you give Yanran?"

Lin Zhaoxia paused, and Lin's father also looked at her. Lin Zhaoxia smiled and said, "I don't have much money, so I gave her fifty thousand."

"You gave her 10,000 yuan!" Lin's father frowned. The family took [-] yuan, and Xia Xia gave her [-] yuan. She spent [-]+ just by touching her eyes and nose?
Mother Lin was also calculating in her mind. She was shocked when she did the calculation. She actually spent so much money?

Lin Zhaoxia listened to their muttering and didn't answer. What she saw on Lin Yanran's face was that she had moved in several places, and 10,000+ couldn't be beaten down.

As for where Lin Yanran borrowed money, she didn't care about that.She didn't want to pay back the [-] yuan, but don't ask her to borrow it again in the future.

Nor did her money come from the strong wind.

The screenwriting job she took on this year didn't earn much, only around 8 yuan. On average, it would be enough for her to live in Shanghai.What Zhao Guangyuan earns is his. The antique shop has made a lot of money this year. In addition, he has made a lot of money by reselling pearls and other items back and forth. However, he maintains more than [-] soldiers and horses and consumes at least [-] taels of silver a month. , and there is not much money left.

That account on the Internet was an unexpected surprise this year.

I made two wedding outfits, lent out headdresses, and made some money.Later, he also sold bags, bags, ready-made clothes and other items, as well as the jewelry made by Lin's father. Many people bought it, and he made a lot of money.

Being filial to Lin's parents and Lin's mother, Lin Zhaoxia was willing to pay to support her.Lin Yanran can borrow money if she wants, and she can pay it back if she borrows it, but if Lin's mother thinks that she should get a fair share of the money, she won't be willing to borrow it.

At night, Lin's mother lay tossing and turning without falling asleep. She pushed Lin's father, who was lying beside him, and asked, "Did Yanran spend too much money this year?" She secretly subsidized a lot, but she didn't see her getting it back.

Just after celebrating the New Year, Lin Zhaoxia gave Lin's father and Lin's mother 1 yuan as filial piety money.But Yanran only gave one thousand.Mother Lin felt a little uncomfortable.

Father Lin was a patient to begin with. He was exhausted from staying up until the early hours of the morning, so he closed his eyes and ignored her.

Mother Lin said to herself again, "Yesterday Xia Xia brought back a bunch of new year's goods, but she returned empty-handed." She only gave a thousand red envelopes.

Thinking that Lin Yanran not only gave over [-] yuan to her family this year, but also gave [-] yuan to Yanran, "Tell me, does Xia Xia's job as a screenwriter make a lot of money? Why don't you let Ranran learn from her? Let her do it." Take it easy."

Being a big star is not that easy. Their family has nothing, they are just ordinary people. It is not easy to get ahead, so they should find a serious job.

When Dad Lin heard that she was overthinking, he yelled dissatisfiedly, "Xia Xia borrowed money from others and hasn't paid it back. You told her about it again. She didn't pay off the old debt and added a new one." . However, she can't sit still, how can she do Xia Xia's job."

Mother Lin was dissatisfied with Father Lin's belittling her biological daughter, "How come you can't do that job anymore? If you can write, you can write scripts. Won't you let Xia Xia take care of her for a while?"

Moreover, she didn't believe that Lin Zhaoxia had no money. People without money should have a sad look on their face, struggling with food and clothing, but that was not the case with Lin Zhaoxia at first glance.

Mother Lin felt that Lin Zhaoxia was not telling the truth to them.
