Chapter 428: Wealth does not return home like a night walk in brocade clothes
The sun has melted most of the snow for several consecutive days, and there is only some snow in the high mountain forests and dark bends where the sun cannot be found.
Lin Heng drove the car, Xiulan sat behind him and sandwiched Lin Luming in the middle. Caiyun held Lin Duheng and sat on the clip next to him, while Xiaoxia sat next to Caiyun.
Originally I didn’t want to take the kids with me, but they were all very clingy, so I had no choice but to take them with me.
Departing at nine in the morning, they arrived at Liulin Village in Baisha Township at three in the afternoon. I could have gone faster, but I was afraid that the child would freeze if I ran too fast.
It was unusual for Bian Sanlun to enter the village, and many villagers showed curiosity.
Soon some people recognized Lin Heng and Xiulan and understood that it was the daughter of the Chen family who came with her son-in-law to pay New Year greetings.
After a while, Lin Heng drove his tricycle to the door of Chen's house. Several children playing at the door recognized him and shouted happily: "Aunt, uncle, you are back!"
"Grandpa, my aunt is back!" Someone rushed into the room and shouted.
Xiulan looked at the children with a smile: "Have a great New Year."
"Happy New Year, aunt." The children also replied happily.
After a while, three people came out of the room. In addition to Chen's father and Chen's mother, there was also Xiulan's second brother.
"Mom and Dad, second brother. Happy New Year."
"Mom and dad, second brother."
Lin Heng and Xiulan greeted each other one after another and got out of the car. .
"Happy New Year to grandpa and grandma, and congratulations on getting rich!!"
Xiaoxia had jumped out of the car and jumped up to the two of them.
"My good granddaughter, you are really good at talking. She is so tall. Grandma, give me a hug." Mother Chen smiled and hugged Xiaoxia.
Chen's father looked at the crowd and said, "Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Hurry up and warm yourself by the fire. It's freezing on the road."
"There are colorful clouds here too. It's the same. Come on in. House.”
Xiulan nodded and said: "It's very cold. Fortunately, the children were wrapped tightly."
"Then come in quickly and let me take a good look at the two twin grandchildren." Father Chen came over with unusual enthusiasm. help.
He had a cold attitude at first because he thought his daughter would have to endure hardship when marrying Lin Heng. Now that he understands how powerful Lin Heng is, his attitude has changed drastically.
Even if it is a relative, wealth and status will still play a big role.
Lin Heng helped Xiulan and Caiyun down, and then drove into the yard.
The old house of the Chen family has obviously been renovated. It seems that only the second brother Xiulan and his parents live here now.
There is a large pot of red-hot charcoal fire in the room, and the temperature is much hotter than outside.
Xiulan removed the two-layer quilt that was holding the child, checked their condition, and only felt relieved after making sure there was nothing wrong.
She was afraid that her child would catch the cold, so she wrapped it in three layers.
“Oh, these twin boys are exactly the same, come and call me grandma.”
Mother Chen loved the two children very much. They were fair and very cute.
"Haha..."
Although they are not very afraid of strangers, the two little guys also smiled silly and did not call anyone.
After looking at the children for a while, Father Chen brought two chairs made of babies, wiped them clean and put Lu Ming and Du Heng in them. Now they had their hands free.
"Mom and Dad, how are you doing lately?" Lin Heng took a sip of water and asked with a smile.
"Okay, we are very good." Mother Chen smiled. The smile on her face never stopped when her daughter and son-in-law came.
“Our life is much better now. We borrowed some money from you last year to build two more mud houses. The old house has also been renovated, so now we don’t have to crowd it all together.”
Father Chen said with a smile, and then added embarrassedly, "The borrowed money will have to be paid back to you slowly in two years. It's still hard to turn around now."
Lin Heng smiled and held his hand. Chen Changxia's hand said: "Dad, you can use this money first, don't be in a hurry to pay it back, we are not in a hurry to use the money."
"Yes, Dad, feel free to use it, we are here to pay New Year's greetings this time , I’m not here to ask for money.” Xiulan smiled.
"Of course I know, but this matter needs to be explained clearly so that we can all feel at ease." Chen Changxia glanced at his daughter and said with a smile.
He sometimes laments that the opportunities in life are so unpredictable that his daughter has actually found such a potential husband.
As soon as he saw his daughter's complexion and demeanor, especially her white and tender hands, he knew that she was well cared for and did little work.
There are some women in the village who are the same size as his daughter. If they are put together, it is impossible to believe that they are the same age. Not only the difference in clothes, but also the scene of working with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky makes them look younger. He is much older at a young age.
“Stop talking about this, let me show you what I brought you this time.”
Xiulan lifted some of the pile of things on the cabinet and said, "These are all for you, and the others are for my three brothers and sister-in-law."
"What's inside In addition to the milk powder, biscuits, sugar and a pack of cigarettes, I also bought a set of clothes for the two of you."
"The most important thing is a couple of cordyceps, specially given to you to replenish your health. This is a good thing that Lin Heng collected from Gansu."
Xiulan took the things and showed them to her parents one by one and explained their functions in detail.
“You brought too many of these, and they are so good.” Mother Chen exclaimed as she looked at these things.
Father Chen couldn't help but look surprised, and then sighed: "Yes, I heard that this Cordyceps is very valuable. Why don't you take it and sell it to us? We are all in good health. It would be a waste to eat this." "
Xiulan's second sister-in-law next to her opened her eyes wide. Forgetting food and new clothes and shoes, there was something as rare as Cordyceps.
She had only heard of this thing, but had never seen it in action.
"Just take it, we can't come here even once a year. Cordyceps can be soaked in water or ground into powder to make porridge and soup. Eating it is good for your health."
Xiulan didn't say the price, but warned with a smile.
Lin Heng also nodded and said: "Yes, parents, this is our little thought, please accept it well. Cordyceps can nourish the kidneys and lungs, resolve phlegm and stop bleeding. Even if you are not sick, eating it can improve the body's resistance."
"Okay, thank you, daughter and son-in-law. It's great to have a daughter-in-law like you." Finally, Mother Chen smiled and patted their hands.
Chen Changxia's happiness can't be concealed. His daughter and son-in-law are so kind to him. These things are probably worth one or two hundred yuan.
"This is what it should be." Xiulan smiled and nodded, and brought another part of the gift to the second brother and second sister-in-law, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, this part is specially given to you."< br>
The main food here is food. In addition to sugar, milk powder, and biscuits, there are also twists and fruits.
Xiulan wanted to buy a pair of shoes and clothes for her nieces and nephews, but she didn't know how big they would be, so she didn't buy them.
"Xiulan Lin Heng, you are too polite, just buy it for your parents, why do you buy so much for us."
Xiulan second brother shook his head, looking a little unhappy. Sorry, but he was still very happy.
"Yes, you are so polite. We are all a family. There is no need to bring so many gifts when we go back to our own home." Xiulan's second sister-in-law took Xiulan's hand and said with a smile.
"Then it's normal for us to get something for our family." Xiulan responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, don't be polite. I'll cook for you. We bought some donkey meat this year. You can all try it later." Mother Chen stood up and said with a smile. "Okay." Xiulan agreed with a smile.
My mother and second sister-in-law went to cook. Xiulan looked at her father again and said, "Dad, where are the houses of my eldest brother and third brother? We will also take the gifts there."
"Why don't you wait to pick it up tomorrow and then go over to eat?" Father Chen asked doubtfully.
“We plan to go back after breakfast tomorrow, but we really don’t have much time.” Xiulan shook her head and said.
"Don't be anxious. You guys can play a few more days this time. If you don't come here once or twice a year, why are your children so anxious?" Father Chen shook his head.
"Then you have to take the things over first." Xiulan said helplessly.
"Okay." Father Chen nodded and led the way for the two of them.
Let Caiyun help look after the children here, Lin Heng and Xiulan took Xiaoxia to her eldest brother and third brother's house to deliver the gifts.
The gifts Lin Heng prepared for his third brother and uncle's family were all the same, worth fifty-eight yuan, which was definitely a super gift.
Xiulan said too much, but he felt that it was just right. Not returning home was like walking at night in brocade clothes. Many people were not optimistic about Xiulan's decision to marry him, and she said many unpleasant things.
Now that she is rich, she wants to come back and show off, to support Xiulan and prove to everyone that she made the right choice.
Xiulan understood what Lin Heng meant. Although she felt a little worried about the money, she agreed. She really wanted to prove that she was living a good life.
It’s not that she wants to show off, but she was angry because so many people were not optimistic about her and gossiped about her.
Everyone is vying for a breath and a stick of incense. Even the gentlest person will find it difficult to let go of some anger.
Xiulan's elder brother and third brother's home is not far from the old house, just behind it. There are two 300-square-meter loess houses not far apart.
The inside was covered with tarpaulin, and it looked pretty good. When the two of them put the gifts on their cabinets, they smiled and said some words of blessing for the new house to have water.
The two families were also very enthusiastic towards them, saying that they must have a meal at their home.
Let them play here for a while and take them out to play.
Both Lin Heng and Xiulan declined, saying they wanted to go home early, but they were not understood and had to eat.
On the way back to Chen's father and Chen's mother's house, Xiulan took Lin Heng's hand and said, "It's another wonderful year. Thank you, husband."
"You deserve this, and I deserve it too. "Lin Heng said with a smile, when you have a kind attitude and show strong financial resources, you will be respected easily.
Xiulan nodded, feeling sweet in her heart. Returning to his parents' house, they chatted while warming themselves by the fire. Father Chen brought over poker cards for them to play.
The lunch meal was soon ready. The food at Chen’s father and mother’s house during the Chinese New Year was also of high quality, with a lot of fish and shrimp, as well as pork and donkey meat.
“This donkey meat tastes really delicious.” Lin Heng commented with a smile.
"Yes, it's very delicious." Xiaoxia said, raising her little hand.
"If you like to eat, eat more. Don't be polite, just treat it as your own home."
Mother Chen said with a smile, picked up her chopsticks and served Lin Heng and the four of them food.
Lin Hengcai and his father-in-law drank two sips of rice wine, and the bowls were filled with vegetables. Now that he came to his father-in-law's house, he has become a group favorite, and the bowls were full of vegetables without any rice.
He didn't think his parents-in-law were snobbish. Their behavior was normal. No one wanted their daughter to marry into a place where she would suffer.
Although they didn't like it at first, they didn't stop Lin Heng from marrying Xiulan in the end, and they were already much more open-minded than many people.
Lin Heng's respect and filial piety for them came from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Xiulan happy, he felt extremely happy.
After eating, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. After feeding the two children, the two took the children out for a walk around the village.
"It's a pity that it's only the fifth day of the lunar month. If it were the fifteenth, I could take you to see the temple fair."
Xiu Lan looked at Caiyun and said as she looked around outside and walked back.
Caiyun shook his head and said: "I think it's good to go out and play. The place in Lushui County is much flatter than our place. I have seen a lot of new things."
"It's okay. You will go to high school next year. I'll take you for a nice walk in the city." Lin Heng patted Caiyun on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Thank you, second brother." Caiyun became a little envious. She had read more books and became curious about the outside world.
Back in the house, Lin Heng did not let his two sons rest, and took them to try to teach them to walk.
They can crawl very early and can walk a few steps when pulled.
"Brother, look at me and learn how to walk like me." Xiaoxia watched from the side as her brother demonstrated to them.
"Haha...Sister knot..."
"Jie Jie..."
The two little guys can also call sister, watching the sister walk, the two of them They were also eager to get up and kept trying to walk with steps.
They are still unable to control their center of gravity and fall in strange postures while walking, with Lin Heng and Caiyun watching.
Teaching children to walk is very interesting, and children's happiness is also very simple. They can giggle and giggle every time they walk.
Xiaoxia's happiness was a bit more advanced. She giggled happily when Lin Heng held her up high, and pestered him to act coquettishly and cutely to do it again.
After playing outside for a while, they entered the house. Xiulan cleaned up the bed and walked out to find Lin Heng and said: "I will sleep with mom today. I will take care of my two sons. You can take Xiaoxia and dad to sleep well." ”
Lin Heng was a little reluctant, but he knew that Xiulan wanted to talk to her mother about old times, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”
“Be good, I’ll go home. I will make it up to you." Xiulan whispered.
"What about Caiyun?" Lin Heng smiled and asked again.
“She sleeps in the same room with us, the three of us live together.” Xiulan replied.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded in agreement.
In the current weather, it gets dark after six o'clock. At about five o'clock, Brother Xiulan's house made a meal and invited everyone to come over to eat.
There is still no electricity in Liulin Village, so we have to eat very early.
It was almost dark after dinner. Lin Heng was a little drunk, but when he took Xiaoxia to rest, he still told her a story.
"You often tell stories to your children." Father Chen asked curiously after Xiaoxia fell asleep.
"Yes, we talk every day at home." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Awesome." Father Chen said, and his admiration for Lin Heng rose to another level.
After being silent for a long time, Father Chen said with emotion: "I was wrong at first. You are a good husband and a good son-in-law."
"That's over now, Dad, as long as you like me now." Lin Heng laughed.
In his last life, he was really sorry for Xiulan. He said he would make her rich so that she could live a good life, but in the end he made her suffer for half her life.
