The whole family was busy working in the yard, and suddenly a small car parked outside. The fence gate was clearly visible, which made the Zuo family a little stunned.
I wonder whose house this is from.
Then the car door opened and he saw his daughter Zuo Xiaoqing getting out of the car.
The whole family was shocked.
Why did Xiaoqing come back in a car?
The Zuo family was naturally happy when their daughter came back, but when they saw the tall young man following Zuo Xiaoqing, the family seemed a little at a loss.
"Daughter, this is..."
Dad Zuo asked.
"Dad, this is my friend Lin Yi."
"Brother Lin, these are my father, mother, brother and my brother Xiaowang."
"Uncle, aunt, happy New Year."
Lin Yi greeted the Zuo family politely.
Zuo's father and left mother quickly nodded in return, glanced at their daughter again, and thought to themselves that this could not be their daughter's boyfriend. She took her boyfriend home without saying a word in advance.
"Hey, come in and sit in the house." Zuo Ma greeted.
Just as Zuo Xiaoqing was about to take Lin Yi into the house, Lin Yi said: "Uncle and aunt, there are some things in the car, I'll take them down."
Originally, before Lin Yi arrived, he had thought about borrowing a car and going to the farmer's market or department store in Huangshi to buy something. After all, it was his first time to go to Zuo Xiaoqing's house.
Before coming, he even brought money and some food stamps.
Unexpectedly, Director Lu sent a trunk full of stuff. Lin Yi thought it would save money to buy these, so he happily accepted them.
Zuo Xiaoqing guessed Lin Yi's thoughts, turned around, grabbed Lin Yi's clothes, and whispered: "Brother Lin, there is no need to get a gift."
Lin Yi smiled,
"How could you come empty-handed for the first time? That would be too rude."
The two whispered to each other, which was definitely considered an intimate act in the eyes of outsiders. The Zuo family members thought to themselves that this young man must be Xiaoqing's boyfriend and he has not run away.
Lin Yi went out and said to the driver, Xiao Zhang: "Master Zhang, help me open the trunk."
"Okay, Brother Lin."
The two of them had become familiar with each other on the road. Lin Yi was two years older than Xiao Zhang, so Xiao Zhang called him Brother Lin.
Zuo Xiaoqing and the Zuo family also came out. Not only them, many villagers and children also gathered around to watch the fun. After all, the uncle who drove a car to the door was his first job in their village, so he had to take a good look at it.
The trunk is open,
It immediately shocked everyone watching.
good guy,
so many things,
Does this mean that all supply and marketing cooperatives have been moved here?
"So many things, how much does it cost? Is this a betrothal gift? Good guy, he is a good smoker and a good drinker."
"I have never seen anyone give so many things as a betrothal gift."
"That pork is really fat."
"People in the city have money, Xiaoqing is really lucky."
Even the Zuo family thought that Lin Yi came here with these things as a betrothal gift.
As everyone knows,
This is just a gift for them to celebrate the New Year.
Zuo Xiaoqing saw Lin Yi unloading all the things, and anxiously stepped forward and pulled Lin Yi and whispered, "Brother Lin, this was given to you, why did it all go to my family? This can't be done."
"You finally came back, don't worry about it, just listen to me." Lin Yi said with a smile.
The children around were watching the fun and got very close. Lin Yi looked at them, opened the candy box and took out a handful of candies.
"Here, I'll give you two pieces of candy each."
The children didn't care that there were so many. As soon as the candies were handed out, they gathered around and stretched out their hands. Lin Yi each put two pieces in his hand.
This box of candies is full of good candies, such as White Rabbit toffee, milk peanut candies, prawn cakes, and sorghum candy. Many children have never eaten them before. Two pieces of candies per person made the children extremely happy.
Among the old women watching the excitement, someone shouted, "My new uncle, please give us a piece of candy too."
This new uncle's words made Xiaoqing blush immediately.
"Auntie, it's not..."
Before Xiao Qing could finish speaking, Lin Yi smiled and grabbed a handful of candies from the tin can, "Aunts and aunts, take two pieces too."
A group of old ladies from the village immediately gathered around.
Lin Yi also gave each person two yuan.
"Thank you, new uncle." Someone said with a smile.
"I'm not an uncle, I'm a friend." Lin Yi explained with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I've heard that people in the city call them boyfriends. It's a new term for the new era, right?" an aunt who received the candy said with a smile.
Xiao Qing, who was standing aside, glanced at Lin Yi with a blushing face.
The children and women had candy, and there were many gentlemen standing around. Lin Yi did his job to the end and took out a cigarette from his body.
"Any uncle or uncle who smokes, please have a cigarette."
When the men around him saw Lin Yi smoking, they all gathered around to take the cigarettes. Some old women also smoked and came over to get one. The pack of cigarettes soon dispersed.
"Uncle, aunt, let's move the things."
After smoking, Lin Yi said to Zuo's father and Zuo's mother.
At this moment, the Zuo family was still in a state of confusion. As soon as Lin Yi came in and said hello, he took all the initiative and unloaded gifts and handed out candy and smoke. The Zuo family didn't say a word.
"Too much, this is too much."
Zuo Ma said.
Lin Yi called to the driver Xiao Zhang, Zuo Dahong and his brothers Xiao Qing to move everything into the house. The villagers dispersed after seeing that there was no excitement to be seen.
Some children were holding candies in their hands, and before they could warm them up, their mothers asked for them, "Don't eat such expensive candies until the Chinese New Year."
...
Zuo family.
Main hall.
Zuo Dahong made tea for Lin Yi and driver Xiao Zhang in a big tea vat.
Several men sat together and chatted. Dad Zuo was an out-and-out farmer, simple, honest and even a bit dull. He didn't know what to say, so he only said two sentences from beginning to end.
"Does Xiaolin smoke?"
"Xiao Lin, drink water."
After all, Zuo Dahong worked at an agricultural machinery station, so he had some experience and could chat with Lin Yi for a few words. However, because he didn't know Lin Yi's background, he could only talk a few words about his parents.
Through chatting with Lin Yi, he learned that Zuo Dahong is three years older than Xiao Qing, and is 22 years old. Lin Yi is 26 years old, which makes him four years younger than Lin Yi.
As for Xiaoqing, she is said to be nineteen, but in fact she is only eighteen when she is one year old, and she is only nineteen after the new year.
Lin Yi is seven years older than Zuo Xiaoqing.
...
Zuo's mother took Xiaoqing to the kitchen to make lunch.
in the kitchen,
Mother Zuo looked at her daughter and lowered her voice: "Qing, is this the person you want to mess with? Did Xiao Lin find someone to solve our family's problems?"
Zuo Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed when her mother asked her.
"Mom, it's true that Brother Lin found someone to solve Luo Zhijun's matter, but we are not dating, we are just ordinary friends."
"If you don't have a partner, Xiaolin will send you back and bring so many things?" Zuo's mother didn't believe it at all.
"It's not true. Brother Lin is very educated. I didn't know a lot of things in studies, so I asked Brother Lin for help, and we became friends like that." Zuo Xiaoqing explained.
"Then what does he do?"
"Brother Lin is in business."
When she heard about business, Zuo's mother thought that Lin Yi worked in a place like a supply and marketing cooperative. After all, there are very few private businesses nowadays. As a woman who has never been to a county town several times, it is normal for Zuo's mother to not understand these things.
"Who else is in his family?"
Zuo’s mother is more concerned about Lin Yi’s family situation.
After all, maybe Lin Yi's home will be his daughter's home from now on.
"Brother Lin's parents are gone, and he is the only one left in the family now," Zuo Xiaoqing said.
Zuo's mother was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Hey, he is also a poor child. He lost his parents at a young age. It is not easy to live alone."
Then she looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Daughter, Mom, let me tell you, this woman must know how to love a man. It is not easy for a man to live outside. When he comes home, a woman must know how cold it is and how hot she is. She must prepare the meal and heat the water.
, it is your duty to keep the house clean, wash and cook.”
"Xiao Lin is a talented person. If you need talents and talents, you need family and household chores. You are lucky to meet such a man, but you must cherish your blessings, you know."
Zuo Xiaoqing knows,
My mother has already decided that Lin Yi is her boyfriend.
"Mom, we..."
But when the words came to her mouth, Zuo Xiaoqing couldn't say any more. The whole family probably hoped that Brother Lin would be her boyfriend.
In fact, she herself
Why not?
If Brother Lin is really his boyfriend, he will definitely do what his mother said.
