Chapter 223: Smart People Don’t Test Human Nature
Everything else in the sack had been carefully packed up by Lin's mother. Now, even the balcony where the things were stored had been closed and locked...
Those things on the balcony are probably the most valuable things in the house. She really feels uneasy if they are not locked up. From now on, she will hang the washed clothes downstairs!
If all else fails, hang clothes outside the window! In short, you can’t hang clothes on the balcony.
The balcony that was originally used to hang clothes is now the Lin family’s warehouse, and outsiders are not allowed to enter... In the Lin family, except for Lin’s mother, everyone else is called outsiders!
Mother Lin packed up everything before starting to cook. Seeing that time was running out, Mother Lin thought for a while and gritted her teeth, and decided to steam rice for lunch!
She also took out some bacon and sausage, and simply stir-fried two vegetarian dishes, and the lunch became hearty. Fortunately, the two drivers arrived late, otherwise Lin's mother would not be able to cook well!
The two drivers had already had a quick bite in the cafeteria before arriving. It's better not to eat in an awkward manner when eating at someone else's house...
But even so, looking at the rice and sausages on the table, I couldn't help but eat two bowls of rice...
After seeing off the two drivers, Lin's mother took off her apron and asked Lin's father to clean up the dishes at home, and then she went to deliver lunch to her eldest daughter. Since Lin Chunmei was pregnant, Lin's mother no longer let Lin Chunmei come back for lunch at noon, and it was always family members who brought her lunch.
Previously, this job was always done by Lin's father, and he had only delivered meals for a few days. It only started in the past two weeks...
"Mom, you're here! I'm hungry. I told you I don't need you to bring me food. It won't take long for me to walk home by myself."
"Something happened at home today, so don't talk about this again. You're already in your advanced stage of pregnancy, and it's not convenient for you to move around, so don't bother going back and forth.
Besides, it’s going to snow soon, and the slippery roads will make it even more inconvenient for you to go to and from get off work, so you should adapt to it now.
I came to see you today because I had something to do, so I came to bring you food. Your dad will come over tomorrow. He's been idle at home all day, so I'll find him something to do so he doesn't get bored at home."
As Lin's mother spoke, she took out a lunch box wrapped in several layers from her bag and handed it to Sister Lin.
The food inside was still hot after walking all the way here.
Before the lunch box was taken out, Sister Lin could already smell the fragrance inside. Is that the smell of sausage?
The moment she opened the lunch box, Sister Lin saw the rice and sausages inside, and her stomach started to growl. Fortunately, there were no other colleagues around at that time, as they had all gone back to eat and rest.
Otherwise, they would definitely be attracted by the fragrance again, and I would have to explain to them.
"Mom, what did you come to see me about?"
"After you finish your meal, send a telegram back to your brother and his family, asking them to call me as soon as they receive the telegram. Call the post office, preferably around noon when there won't be anyone around to talk to."
"Mom, did the things that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu sent arrive? How much is it?"
Sister Lin asked curiously, looking at the rice in the lunch box. This must have just been sent back.
"You're so smart. Just eat what you have. Why are you asking so many questions? Eat quickly. When you're done, don't forget to send a telegram to your brother. I'm leaving now. I have to work this afternoon!"
Mother Lin didn't want to say much. Although the children were siblings, they were older now and had their own families and careers, so it was inevitable that they would have their own little thoughts. Mother Lin didn't want to use such things to test human nature.
It would be better to just not tell anyone, so that everyone can live together in peace.
......
The Lin brothers and sisters who are far away in Heilongjiang Province have not been to town for the past two weeks. If it weren't for the monthly trading time, Lin Yinyin would not want to go out!
Who would have thought that it is only mid-November and the temperature is already around ten degrees below zero. It was just freezing last week, but this week the temperature is basically below zero during the day, or only one or two degrees above zero.
Now I can really see the importance of Gu Zecheng installing this stove. With the kang, the fire wall and the coal stove, the temperature in Lin Yinyin's little room can now be around 23 or 24 degrees. Lin Yinyin is already quite satisfied with this temperature.
At least you don't have to wear a big cotton-padded jacket indoors... Just wear a thin coat, but it's really dry indoors~
And sleeping on a kang is also very easy to get irritated... Now Lin Yinyin has a huge lump on her chin...
"Brother, let's eat something lighter. Look, my pimple has been getting bigger these past two days!"
As Lin Yinyin spoke, she pointed to the pimple on her chin, which was very painful when touched!
"Okay, it's up to you. We can eat anything. We're not picky!
By the way, Xiaowu, it’s so cold outside today, why don’t you stay at home? The two of us can go!"
Lin Jianhe looked at the north wind blowing outside. The temperature had dropped again in the past two days...
"I'd better go for a walk. I haven't been out for half a month. Let's meet at the state-owned restaurant at noon! Oh, brother, last time our mom told us to go back before the New Year. Should we ask for leave from the team leader? Let her know in advance."
"If you want to go, wear more clothes and cover yourself up tightly before going out. Don't catch a cold!
There's no rush to ask for leave to go home. Wait until the end of December. If you ask too early, the captain might forget..."
Lin Jianhe knew he couldn't persuade her sister, so he just told her to wear more clothes...
Lin Yinyin herself is afraid of cold and will definitely not let herself get cold. She wears down pants over her thermal pants, and then wears another pair of outer pants over the down pants.
The same goes for the top. I also wear a thin down jacket under the floral cotton jacket, and some warm clothes...
She wore a hat, scarf and gloves. Let’s put it this way, only Lin Yinyin’s eyes were exposed.
Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle all the way, Lin Yinyin didn't feel very warm. She was already thinking in her heart whether she should change the trading from twice a month to once a month?
The weather is only going to get colder. It's really a pain to come all the way to town!
Lin Yinyin thought so and actually did so. After the transaction was completed, Lin Yinyin strolled to the post office to send a letter to Lin's mother, asking if they had received the items.
Just after she sent the letter, she heard the staff say there was a telegram from her brother...
