Chapter 156: Retention
When I returned home, although it wasn’t dark, it was still past 4 o’clock.
Mother Lin was nagging, playing outside too late.
"Okay, didn't you just come back from playing mahjong all afternoon?" Father Lin never understood what real benefit it would bring to Mother Lin to talk about these meaningless things.
Obviously she wanted to go out together in the morning.
Mother Lin felt that she had been put down in front of Song Ren, so she rolled her eyes at Father Lin and helped prepare dinner.
Lin Fan saw a pile of canned cold dishes on the table and couldn't help but ask: "Why are there so many cold dishes?"
It is normal to have cold dishes during the banquet, and it can appropriately reduce the stress. The burden of cooking. But their cold dishes are too many.
There are three trays of canned sugar water alone, rambutan, yellow peach, and green plum. It's all straight from the can.
There are also salted chicken, salted fish, salted goose, and salted pork, which are torn into pieces by hand and placed on the plate.
Braised beef, wind pork, crystal meat slices. There were 10 plates of these cold dishes alone.
"There are so many cold dishes, but they look cold." Lin Fan looked at the sugar water in the canned plate, and then looked at the other plates. There was no trace of heat at all.
I feel like if I don’t eat hot food in winter, my whole body will feel cold.
“Why is it cold? Isn’t the air conditioner on?” Lin’s mother brought out a plate of braised chicken and put it on the table and said, “Look at Xiao Song, he’s not as busy as you. Son."
Song Ren was called out for no reason, so he had to smile at Mother Lin.
When they visit other people's homes, they can just eat what they have, so they don't have to choose.
"There are so many cold dishes every New Year. It looks like a lot, but in fact it doesn't make any difference. I'd better get two less in the future." Lin Fan said this sincerely.
Although the salted chicken and salted duck are divided into two plates, there is really no difference in taste.
"Who said that? This time I knew you were bringing friends back, so I specially bought the latest canned green plums and pork belly. They all said they were delicious." It can't be said that Mother Lin is not attentive. She is indeed It's more preparation.
But this preparation was completely different from what Lin Fan said.
Lin Fan saw that Lin's mother was getting emotional, so he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, it's the New Year's Eve, so if you can, you won't make any noise.
Dad Lin served the food very quickly. The braised beef with soybean sprouts was Lin Fan’s favorite food since he was a child. The braised fish was also prepared long ago. There is also a dish of roasted pork with old pickles. Finally, I fried a cress and an beans.
"Come on, come on, it's time to eat." Father Lin was busy in the kitchen, his face flushed.
After the hot dishes were served, there was not enough space on the table. The ten cold dishes either did not fit together or were stacked. Otherwise there would be no place to put cups and bowls.
Everyone said thanks, clinked glasses together, and had dinner lively.
The replay of last night's Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV, and it was so lively singing and dancing.
At the end of the meal, Lin's father suddenly asked: "Xiaofan is leaving tomorrow, right?"
Before Lin Fan could say anything, Lin's mother jumped up, "What tomorrow?" Let’s go? It’s only the second day of junior high school tomorrow!”
“It’s not easy for me to take leave.” Lin Fan knew that Mother Lin would be unhappy, “Didn’t we say it on the phone before?”
Lin’s mother deserved to be happy at that time, and she didn’t express any opinion. Why was she about to leave, but she started to have another attack.
"There's no one who can't live up to the New Year." Lin's mother heard it at the time, but didn't take it to heart. From her world view, no one has to go back to work in the second grade of junior high school. The boss is staying at home to celebrate the New Year.
"I said it was not false at the beginning, but you insisted on my coming back. Now that I am back, it is inevitable that my stay will be short. My colleagues like me can't go home for the New Year. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Lin Fan lost his patience.
After these few days, while getting along with the Li family and the Gao family, she found that she no longer had the strong fear of Lin's mother in the past.
Moreover, Lin’s mother was really pushing her limits. She had clearly promised to leave in the second grade of junior high school, but now she suddenly had another attack.
Although they didn't really go back to work, everyone in Ji Yu's family knew that they would arrive tomorrow and were ready. How could they suddenly change their minds now.
And with Mother Lin like this, even if they stayed for one more day, they would still be hiding. Whether they stayed or not, it really didn't make any sense.
"It's true, Auntie. If you don't leave tomorrow, things will be delayed." Seeing anger rising on Lin's face, Song Ren quickly interrupted.
When Mother Lin heard this, she looked at Song Ren's smiling face and felt embarrassed again.
Dad Lin quickly smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, wasn't this already booked a long time ago? You didn't say there was a problem earlier, why are you talking about it now?"
Dad Lin also He was reluctant to let go of Lin Fan, but after revealing his secret to him yesterday, he felt it would be safer to let the child go back quickly.
Besides, Lin Fan would not be able to live in peace as long as Mother Lin was around.
I was obviously smiling when I came back, but now I am unhappy again. He still remembered it, Lin Fan couldn't be unhappy.
Dad Lin quickly thought of something: "Didn't you say you wanted to go to the movies tonight? Go after you finish eating."
Lin Fan was stunned, they When are you going to see a movie? But one look at Lin's father's eyes revealed that he was giving them an excuse to leave.
"I just came back and I'm going out again. Why don't I get home during the Chinese New Year?" Mother Lin was unhappy.
She was completely unaware that the root of her homelessness lay within herself.
"Okay, young man, why don't you let them chat with you?" Father Lin pulled Mother Lin's arm, "Isn't it better to let them go out more to communicate with each other than to accompany us two old people? "
Mother Lin was not very happy at first, but after hearing this, she looked at Song Ren, who looked very talented, and smiled at her, and said nothing.
If you say go to the movies, go to the movies.
It’s been a long time since everyone went to the cinema to watch a movie.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are several Lunar New Year movies, which are dizzying to watch.
A few people ran to the cinema on the top floor of the shopping mall, picked out a good-looking action movie, bought a few buckets of popcorn and soda, booked a VIP viewing room, and watched it happily movie.
Because there are only 5 of them, there is no need to worry about others.
Li Chunhua and Gao Fei kept discussing the plot and actions, and Lin Fan didn't mind hearing the chatter.
Fortunately, VIP is included. she thought.
It’s better to have money. This was her second thought.
Going home at night, the car is parked in front of the hotel. Song Ren sent Lin Fan home alone. The others were not polite and went back to their rooms.
What can happen over a distance of more than 400 meters? In other words, Song Ren was used to protecting Lin Fan and was worried about her walking alone at night.
In fact, with Lin Fan's current level, people who have not practiced at all will not be able to do well in her hands.
But Song Ren still habitually sent Lin Fan to the entrance of the corridor, watched Lin Fan go upstairs and entered the house before leaving.
"Hey, I saw it." As soon as Lin Fan entered the door, Lin's mother rushed over, "Xiao Song sent you back."
Lin Fan didn't know what to say. , the truth must not be told, and she did not want to tell lies.
Lin’s mother didn’t care and continued to chatter beside her: “Xiao Song must be interested in you. You have to be careful, you are already 36...”
“Okay, okay Let the child rest for a while, she knew it well." Father Lin quickly came up to pull him away.
"She knows? If she knew, she wouldn't still be unable to get married today..."
Lin Fan closed the door, cutting off Mother Lin's voice.
This home... I really don’t want to go back.
The next morning, Father Lin was at the breakfast table, trying to persuade Lin Fan to stay and asked her if she could have lunch before leaving.
Actually, if you think about it, Lin Fan didn't stay at home for long. In order to avoid Mother Lin, she didn't even spend as long at Li Chunhua's house at home.
"Sister Lin, let's finish lunch before leaving." Ji Yu spoke first before Lin Fan could refuse.
Looking at Lin’s father’s reluctant eyes, Ji Yu offered to take it slow.
Because there were both him and Jin Sichen in Gaohe, the planned stay was longer than the others.
Lin Fan took the initiative to squeeze out his time for the sake of the two elders of the Gao family and stayed at the Gao family for an extra day.
It doesn’t matter if you go to his house later. If Mother Lin wasn't too stupid, they could actually leave tomorrow.
Moreover, Ji Yu felt that with Lin's mother here, Lin Fan might not have as many opportunities to return home as he did.
"Okay, let's finish lunch." Lin Fan hesitated for a moment and accepted Ji Yu's kindness.
She also knew that going home to celebrate the New Year this time was actually quite nonsense. It was not the scene that everyone imagined at all.
But during lunch, I thought it would be a warm farewell scene, but something happened again.
If you have money, you are still willful. If Lin's mother knew that Lin Fan was so rich, her attitude would definitely be different. Well, everyone doesn’t like Mother Lin, right? Vote for Lin Fan
