The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

"What are you going to do? Eat at home at noon?" Lin Chengguo asked.

"Let's see."

Lin Ming said, "Give Zhengfeng and the others some time to digest now, I'll go there again later."

"Your wife has prepared all the dishes, eat at her house at noon, and come back to eat in the evening."

After Lin Chengguo finished speaking, he ran to watch TV again.

But his words made everyone smile.

People are already so sad, and they still go there to eat?

Is it really just as simple as eating?

...

11 o'clock.

Lin Ming came to Lin Zhengfeng's house again.

Lin Zechuan was not here.

Lin Zhengfeng and Wen Yuanyuan had returned.

Together with Zheng Wanling, they were all sitting around the table, each in a trance, and silent for a long time.

It was almost time for lunch.

The sound of firecrackers outside was deafening.

But this family seemed extremely lonely.

I don't know when.

Lin Zhengfeng suddenly saw Lin Ming standing in the yard.

He showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said stiffly: "You... why are you here again?"

His voice also made Wen Yuanyuan and Zheng Wanling sober up.

"Of course it's to eat!"

Lin Ming shrugged and smiled: "The food cooked by the wife is the most delicious. Although I didn't become a guest, I still have to eat, right?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot."

Zheng Wanling stood up: "Cook... Yes, it's time to eat, I'll go cook first."

"Wife, wait a minute."

Lin Ming stopped Zheng Wanling: "Do you remember? When I was 9 years old, I had lunch at your house during the Little New Year."

"Of course I remember."

Zheng Wanling wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and blamed: "Go to the ice on the reservoir You played and wet your pants. Not only did you not dare to go home, you insisted that you liked to eat the chicken wings I made, and you insisted that I go and tell your parents. "

"It was because of the New Year's Eve that day, and your parents didn't want to be angry with you, otherwise they would have beaten you up again!"

Lin Ming scratched the back of his head: "Actually, it's not because I'm afraid of my parents... The spicy chicken wings you made are really delicious!"

"Okay, you!"

Zheng Wanling smiled and said, "Sit down first. I also prepared some chicken wings today. If you like them, I'll make them for you."

"Okay." Lin Ming smiled and nodded.

The next time.

Lin Ming tried his best to talk to Lin Zhengfeng about some childhood stories, trying to make Lin Zhengfeng and Wen Yuanyuan forget the previous unpleasantness.

However.

Wen Yuanyuan kept her head down and didn't speak. She didn't listen to what Lin Ming said.

Lin Zhengfeng occasionally answered absent-mindedly.

Zheng Wanling didn't finish cooking all the dishes she prepared. She just picked a few that Lin Ming, Lin Zhengfeng, and Wen Yuanyuan liked to eat.

The aroma was fragrant, but it always felt like something was missing.

Except for Lin Ming, everyone seemed to have lost their appetite.

"Zhengfeng."

Zheng Wanling suddenly said, "Didn't you say some time ago that someone in the city wanted to buy a house in our village? Let's go to the city this afternoon to ask around and see how much people can offer for our three houses."

Lin Zhengfeng and Wen Yuanyuan raised their heads suddenly.

"Mom, what do you mean?" Lin Zhengfeng said.

Wen Yuanyuan also said: "Mom, are you going to sell this house?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"This house is the lifelong hard work of you and my dad. Zhengfeng also grew up here. How can we sell it?"

"Besides, if we really sell it, where will you live?!"

Zheng Wanling tried her best to keep a smile: "Don't worry about me. There are many houses in our village that are rented out. Just spend a few thousand yuan a year."

"I still have some savings. If this house can be sold for 200,000, it will be just enough for the betrothal money and the three golds."

"As for buying a building..."

"I'll see if I can borrow some from others. You can also ask your friends for help."

"Try to get these things done first and get married. Then I will feel relieved."

"After you get married, I can also go to the city to work. The three of us will work together to try to pay back all the borrowed money."

When Zheng Wanling finished these words,

Lin Zhengfeng had already burst into tears.

He pounded the table angrily, hating his own incompetence and helplessness!

It is normal for many ordinary families to empty their savings for their children to get married.

But Zheng Wanling is planning to sell her house!

She is a middle-aged woman, lonely and helpless, and her only interpersonal relationship is here in Linjialing.

This house carries the memories of her and her husband, and carries every bit of Lin Zhengfeng's growth.

If she sells it, where can she go?From her perspective, she is willing to give up everything for Lin Zhengfeng.

But from Lin Zhengfeng's perspective, this is unfilial!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lin Zhengfeng said: "Mom, I can't let you sell this house, don't mention it again!"

Wen Yuanyuan also said at the same time: "Mom, you don't have to worry about my parents. Even if I break off relations with them, I must marry Zhengfeng!"

"Believe in us, the two of us will definitely be down-to-earth and make a difference, so that my parents will regret it!"

"Nonsense!"

Zheng Wanling scolded fiercely: "If you really break off relations with your parents, what will I become?"

"I hope Zhengfeng can marry you back in a grand manner, not in this way, do you understand?"

"Mom..."

"Don't say anymore!"

Zheng Wanling waved her hand to interrupt: "This house is mine, I want to sell it, you have no right to interfere!"

Lin Zhengfeng just clenched his palms, and his two fists looked red.

"I'm done."

Just at this moment.

Lin Ming's voice suddenly sounded, sounding very inappropriate.

Zheng Wanling's expression froze: "Well... I forgot about you, just eat your food, I'm sorry to embarrass you today."

"How much is this meal?" Lin Ming asked.

Zheng Wanling was stunned: "How much?"

"The meal!"

Lin Ming took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Then he grinned, revealing a big white tooth.

"You must pay when you go out to eat, otherwise you will be beaten to death or scolded to death."

"Nonsense!"

Zheng Wanling glared at Lin Ming: "When did you need you to pay when you came to my house to eat?"

"That's because I didn't have money when I was a child, but now I have money."

"You don't have to pay even if you have money!"

"But I have to pay?"

"You little bastard, you are still arguing with me..."

When she said this, Zheng Wanling was suddenly stunned.

She looked at the silly smile on Lin Ming's face and seemed to understand something.

"It's just money? It's no big deal!"

Lin Ming looked at Lin Zhengfeng, showing an extremely arrogant look.

"Your richest friend is sitting here, do you still need to borrow money from others?"

"Tell me, how much do you need?"

"As long as you, Lin Zhengfeng, dare to say it, then I, Lin Ming, dare to give it!"
