Back to the third grade

Chapter 147

Going home is hard work, not only physically, but also mentally.Lin Mei started to suffer from insomnia after packing her luggage, and she was a little afraid to go back and face relatives and friends from the past.It seems that at this moment, she subtly coincides with her past self.

Her success at school was almost wiped out when she started working.Society is not a place where you can get grades just by taking exams and reading books.Looking back now, she thinks her decision to start a company was a little too impulsive.Fortunately, she came over without any danger.

Since leaving school, her certainty and certainty about the future have disappeared.This is all because she chose a completely different path from before.Did she really choose the right one?
With such uneasiness in her arms, she returned to her hometown almost in an instant.

Walking out of the train station, which is always crowded with people, Lin Mei felt very kind when she saw the still gray sky and the exhaust-filled road in her hometown.Even the old stop signs on the side of the road are so friendly.

Uncle specially came to pick them up, because he heard that there was a lot of luggage (and the annual gifts they brought back), so he drove a big bread over.

This is not the old white van.It is said that the car has been officially retired, because it is too old, and if it is caught by the traffic police on the road, it will be taken directly to the scrapping factory.Uncle half bought the old car and gave it to a driving school and bought this one from them.

Tao Tao also came to help carry the luggage as a coolie. This cousin is now taller than expected. When Lin Mei saw him, she exclaimed: "Why do you eat so fat! The clothes I bought for you are not good now. Can't wear it!"

Tao Tao is now 1.8 meters tall and weighs [-].The face is fat and rosy, and it seems easy to bully at first glance.But in fact, as he walked all the way, many people made way for him and avoided him when they saw him.

Because he is not simply fat, but strong.

Tao Tao reached out to take Lin Mei's luggage and laughed: "Sister, what did you buy for me?"

"A suit. You should have some formal clothes by now." Lin Mei said.

After graduating from the Physical Education University, Tao Tao resolutely refused to continue his studies, and his uncle didn't make things difficult for him. The main reason was that his son was out of town alone, and he was afraid that something would happen to him and he would learn badly.Lin Mei was short of resources at that time. After hearing that he often went to the bar with a few friends to stay up all night, he couldn't manage it anymore, so he had to tell his uncle.

Uncle is a man, and he knows this much better than Lin Mei.If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your feet wet?So I had a man-to-man conversation with Tao Tao.

Among his classmates, Tao Tao can be regarded as a small rich second generation. His family has a house in Beijing, his parents in his hometown want land and property, and he has a sister who is starting a company (whether it makes money or not).Although this territory is either official or rich, the general public is still full of ordinary people, so Tao Tao more or less attracted some wine and meat friends who depended on him for food and drink.

Tao Tao was not stingy when taught by his uncle.My uncle lost all his money when he went bankrupt, and from time to time he called his buddies out for a meal, even if it was just a night market stall.He confessed honestly that he did go to the bar to have fun, but someone took him there.Not all of them are invited by him, and occasionally others invite them, but if he wants to go, he will pay for it.Probably all the bar streets near the school have been visited.I also met a young girl who asked him to buy a drink, and I invited him. I danced, sang, drank coffee and touched a few times. I didn't dare to really go with the girl. I was afraid it would be a fairy dance...

The uncle asked Tao Tao if he wanted to continue to hang out in Beijing or go back to his hometown and work with him?Tao Tao said that he wanted to start a business, but his uncle said that your father's family property can't be heard even if you throw it here. If you go back to your hometown to do business, your father and I can still cover you.When you go back, I will give you money, and you can do whatever you want.

Attracted by this carrot, Tao Tao went back to his hometown. What Lin Mei didn't expect was that he was a real estate agent and had already opened four stores.It is much richer than Lin Mei's.Lin Mei can't accept it, it's definitely hereditary!
After getting in the car, Tao Tao talked to Lin Meikan: "Sister, I think this real estate market is going to be a big hit in the future. But it's all played by big cows, and a small shrimp like me is not enough for people to fry a plate." Food. Didn’t our house be rented in the early years? That’s what I did. Don’t tell me, there are more and more people with economic awareness. It’s better to buy a house than put it in the bank. Sister, let me tell you , I have seen a family of four, each with two mortgages, and owes the bank several million! Eat pickle lumps every day! But in another ten years, their neighbors should be envious of them."

Lin Mei patted the brother's forehead, "Okay, have you found someone yet?"

Tao Tao rolled his coquettish eyes, "Sister, you hate it!"

Uncle laughed in the front: "I found it! This is the third one! Chase me home every day!"

"Why are you so fickle?" Lin Mei was worried. Although this kid was a little fickle before, he always stayed on the Internet.How did it come true this time?

Tao Tao said a little proudly, "They chased me. Annoyed!" Then he turned his head and poked Tuhai, "Brother-in-law, who chased you and my sister?"

Tuhai smiled: "I chased your sister."

Tao Tao was a little mean-spirited, "Have you talked about it before?"

Tu Hai smiled, glanced at Lin Mei and said, "No, the first one is your sister."

Tao Tao's expression was "then why are you so unlucky".

"It must be very hard to talk to my sister, right? My sister has been in charge of me since I was a child. She gave me tutoring when I was in junior high school, and the papers and books she gave me piled up like mountains!" Looking back at those years, Tao Tao felt that he was really an oppressed person. Poor little.He felt that his sister had nothing to do with Ruan Rou, so he must have managed Tu Hai enough.He had enjoyed the gentleness and thoughtfulness of girls before, so he felt that Tu Hai was so pitiful.

The uncle said at the front: "I don't know what is good or bad! Your sister's books and papers are good things! How many people snatched them at that time, called your aunt every day, and some people went to your aunt's house. If it wasn't for your sister's sake , you want it yet!"

Tao Tao had a look on his face, "Who wants this? Are you insane?"

Lin Mei patted him and said with a tiger face, "The gift is gone!"

Tao Tao hehehe: "Sister, I chose your furniture for you!"

The new house has been packed.What the family means is that the two children are now living in their own homes. On the wedding day, they can entertain guests in the new house and spend the bridal chamber wedding night there.But after that, Lin Mei still has to live at home.

"Your mother is worried about you living outside alone." Uncle said, he looked at Lin Mei through the rearview mirror, "You are not normal now."

After returning to the textile factory's affiliated courtyard, Tu Hai was a little at a loss after all the luggage was unloaded.He and Lin Mei looked at each other two by two, both a little at a loss.

The two have been a family for several years, and they are used to living in and out of the same house together, but now they are about to separate suddenly, living in their own homes like a fiancée.Not only is Tu Hai not used to it, Lin Mei is also a bit reluctant to part with him.

Tao Tao saw his sister and brother-in-law standing there reluctantly, "It's sour, it's really sour. Come on, brother-in-law, come up together."

After entering the house, Lin Mei was startled!The last time she came home was seven months ago, and the house hadn't changed at that time, but now the walls have been painted and all the furniture has been changed, it looks completely different!

Tao Tao carried the luggage into the house, pointed to the overhead light, TV cabinet and sofa in the living room, and said, "I picked them out, and I watched them move in. Sister, and your house." Mei was dragged into the back room.

The single bed in Lin Mei’s house was replaced by a double bed, and her old desk and bookcase were all gone, replaced by a four-door wardrobe.The place where the wardrobe used to be was replaced by a computer desk.

The rest of the kitchen and toilets have all been completely changed. The tiles have been re-pasted, the kitchen has been replaced with integral cabinets, and the bathroom has also been remodeled to be different from before.

The uncle said: "Your mother said that when the bride-to-be came in and saw that everything in the house was old and unsightly, so I rushed to pretend together."

Lin Mei's bedroom is also based on this consideration, "Your mother said that you will live with Haizi later, so you can't sleep in a single bed."

Lin Mei turned around, "Where's Qiangqiang?"

Tao Tao grinned: "I'm strong and I'm taking it away. Sister, anyway, you can't raise it now, why don't you give it to me."

"Get out! Bring me back quickly!" Lin Mei said.

Uncle sat down and called Mama Lin, and then Grandma Lin Mei.Lin Mei took over and said a few words, and grandma said over there: "Mei|Mei, take a good rest at home today, come over tomorrow, grandma will cook something delicious for you!"

After standing for a while, it was almost five o'clock, and my uncle and Tao Tao left first. "There is food at home, and your mother told you not to cook it." The uncle confessed before leaving, which was also what Lin's mother had told him in advance, for fear that Lin Mei would get sick again and go clean and do housework.

When only Lin Mei and Tu Hai are left at home, they can relax.Uncle and Tao Tao were in the way just now, and they didn't even say a word.

Lin Mei led Tu Hai to her room, sat on her new bed and said, "We will stay here for two days later." The furniture in this room is all high-end goods, but Lin's mother didn't change anything in her own room. , and repainted the wall.

Lin Mei thought that she couldn't disappoint Lin's mother's wishes.

Tu Hai: "I listen to you."

Lin Mei said, "I also live at your house."

Tu Hai shook his head with a smile and said, "No need to do this, let's see it later."

He waited with her until Mother Lin came home from get off work before leaving.There, it was just the two of them.Only when we come back here can we really feel why marriage is the union of two families.

Lin's mother boiled rice porridge early, Lin Mei fried a vegetable, and the kitchen also had the stewed pork ribs that Lin's mother made before going to work at noon.Mother Lin was not very excited when she saw her daughter when she came back, she just remembered to say: "Qiangqiang, I don't have time to walk it for a while, let Taotao take it away first, and you can go to your uncle's house tomorrow and bring it back, it will soon Miss you to death."

After the meal, the main event was staged.Lin Mei took the dishes and bowls to the kitchen, and Lin's mother said outside: "Don't wash it, come here and let's chat."

"I don't have the time to talk to you over there." Mother Lin's expression was a little serious, "You have to be mentally prepared. This time you two will get married without telling the adults, so I won't talk about it here, anyway. You know that I am not satisfied. As for your parents-in-law, you have to be mentally prepared, if you feel wronged when you go to his house..."

Lin Mei thought the next sentence would be "Come back and tell me, Mom will vent your anger on you!"

"Just let me suffer." Lin's mother said calmly, "Who told you to secretly obtain the certificate before? You should be scolded now. I don't feel bad!"

Lin Mei lowered her head obediently.

"I used to think in their family that Tuhai's father was a bit machismo, but his mother was okay, with a gentler temper, but a little trivial. If she nags you, you should listen to it, and don't complain in person if you don't want to hear it." People." Lin's mother has dealt with Tuhai's parents a lot during this time, so she knows a little bit about it.

Tu's father's personality is easy to guess. He doesn't do any housework at home, and he doesn't help when the oil bottle is down.When Mama Lin and Mama Tu went shopping for a new house together, Mama Tu called to remind him what to eat at home. After hanging up the phone, she smiled embarrassedly at Mama Lin: "He doesn't cook at home, and I don't share with him. Said, he dared to wait for me to go back hungry."

"Can't we just let him get something to eat?" Lin's mother thought it was funny, how could he still be hungry?

Mother Tu shook her head and said, "You don't know, he has never been in the kitchen, and he has never even boiled a pot of water."

Mother Lin thought, fortunately, Tu Hai is not like his father!

Lin Mei laughed when she heard this, and said, "Tuhai didn't know anything before, and he didn't even know how to use natural gas when he first lived with me." He wanted to eat supper at night, and she took a bath, so he took it by himself.When Lin Mei came out and saw that he actually took out the electric cup that came back from school and ate instant noodles!
"Why don't you use natural gas?" Lin Mei was very surprised.

Tuhai said: "I'm used to using this, it's convenient."

No matter how convenient it is, you have to turn through the luggage, and you have to wash it when you turn it out.

"It was only later that I found out that he learned how to make instant noodles from others in the dormitory of the school. I wondered why he brought it back from a long distance." Lin Mei said.

Mother Lin said not surprisingly: "Then he can do everything now, you taught him?"

"I can't cook every day, and I can't buy from outside every day. Of course he has to learn." Lin Mei said.What's so strange about this?How normal is that?
At Tu Hai's house, the water in the kitchen boiled.Tu's mother is packing the luggage that Tu Hai brought back, and Tu's father is talking to Tu Hai in the living room.

Tu's father shouted: "The water is boiling!" Tu Hai stood up beside him and went to the kitchen.

Tu's mother hurried out: "I'll come, I'll come!" When I came over, Tuhai had already closed the valve and began to pour water. After filling, I asked Tu's mother: "Is it still burning?"

Mother Tu rushed over and said, "I'll do it! Don't do this!"

Taking advantage of his height, Tu Hai said, "I'll do it, let's keep burning, right?"

Tu's mother saw that Tuhai filled the water very skillfully, and then poured out a little so as not to be too full to boil, put it on the stove, opened the valve, ignited, adjusted the fire, and wiped the stove with a rag Wipe it again, the posture is so proficient, it is not the first time to do it.

Tu Hai didn't realize it. After finishing work, he looked back and saw that there was nothing else to do, and said to Tu's mother, "Let's go out?"

Mother Tu gave her son a strange look and nodded.

In the evening, I said to Papa Tu: "I see, Tuhai and Mei|Mei are together for someone's sake. Do you know? It's definitely not the first time I see him working in the kitchen today!"

Father Tu glared: "You said our son can cook?" He lay down and said, "Then don't cook tomorrow, let your son cook for us."
