Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine - Chapter 114
The whole place was silent.
“How did you talk?” Lin Wei patted Mingming’s head lightly and said with a serious face, “I’m sorry, old man, children are ignorant and talk nonsense.” Then Mingming apologized to Zong Ping.
Although he didn’t like Zong Ping, he was Zong Shao’s father after all, and he was an elder, so he still had to be respectful.
Although he was young, he was not stupid. Seeing the stagnant expressions on everyone’s faces, he knew that he must have said something wrong.
Zong Ping was indeed not very happy, but not for the child, but for Lin Wei.
No matter what the child said, it was not always taught by adults. He knew his son. No matter how stiff their father and son were, it was impossible for his son to tell the child that he was dead. It could only be taught by Lin Wei.
In addition, before he was admitted to the hospital just now, Lin Wei’s mother scolded him in the face, even if he had no opinion on his daughter-in-law at first, he will have an opinion now.
What’s more, he didn’t like Lin Wei very much.
It’s just that the current occasion is not suitable to talk about these. Zong Ping suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, “It’s okay, child.” Then he asked Mingming whether it was an older brother or a younger brother.
The child doesn’t understand the affairs of adults. Seeing that Zong Ping has a kind attitude and doesn’t care about what he said wrongly, he thinks he is a good grandfather and says, “I’m Mingming, my brother, this is my brother’s Rarity.”
Rarity looked up at Mom and Dad, walked over to her brother and said, “Hello, Grandpa.”
Zong Ping reached out and touched the heads of the two children and exclaimed, “Good boy.” Then he asked them which table they ate at before.
Mingming pointed back and said, “We will eat in the back and sit with grandma.”
Hearing the mention of grandmother, Zong Ping’s expression darkened, and he asked, “Would you like to sit and eat with grandpa? Grandpa has never seen you before and wants to see you more.”
Mingming hesitated: “Yes, yes, but…” His bowl and chopsticks are behind him.
But Zong Ping didn’t let him say what he said later, and said with a smile, “That’s settled.” He glanced at Shen Wenjin beside him.
Shen Wenjin saw it, led someone to sit back, made room for the two children, and then called Zong Shao to sit down.
Lin Wei took the child from Zong Shao’s arms and said, “Give me Beibei, you can sit down and eat.”
Zong Shao responded and sat down beside the two children.
With Mingming Ruirui, the atmosphere at the banquet was much more lively, and Zong Ping kept smiling. As for Zong Shao, because he used to have no expression on his face, the three generations of grandparents seemed to be enjoying themselves.
…
Don’t look at Mother Lin and the others who are busy before dawn, but it only takes half an hour and an hour to eat. Usually, tables with many men will eat more slowly because they have to drink.
But today’s situation is special. Because of Shen Wenjin’s sudden appearance, the people who originally said that they were going to get Zong Shao drunk are a lot more honest, and the later toast is just meaning.
Not only did they drank less wine, but everyone also talked a lot less. The voices of Zong Ping and the two children were most often heard at the banquet.
Therefore, within 20 minutes, everyone swept the dishes on the table to almost all, and the rest were the dishes in front of Shen Wenjin, and no one dared to move.
After eating and drinking, everyone sat down for a while, and when they saw that people at other tables were also getting up and moving after eating, they also stood up from the dining table.
Zong Shao also stood up, and he wanted to see off guests with Lin Wei.
At the end, only Zong Ping and Shen Wenjin were left, as well as the guards who came by car.
Zong Ping really wanted to sit and chat with Zong Shao. There were so many people just now that father and son didn’t have the chance to talk. But first, he didn’t want Mother Lin to interrupt. Second, Wu Shujuan waited outside for a long time without even having lunch, so he asked Zong Shao, “Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together?”
“I have to clean up the house, I don’t have time.” Zong Shao said.
Zong Ping frowned when he heard the words, in his heart, the mess after the banquet should be taken care of by a woman. But he didn’t want to argue with Zong Shao because of these things, so he stepped back and asked, “Do you have time tomorrow night?”
“To be on duty.”
“The day after tomorrow?” Zong Ping said weakly, “Xiao Shao, I can only stay for three days in total this time. If I miss this time, I don’t know when our father and son will meet again, and I don’t even know when our father and son will meet again. Is there any chance to meet again, Xiao Shao, my father is old, and there are not many days left.”
Zong Shao lowered his eyes and said after a while, “I’ll find you the night after tomorrow.”
“Okay, okay.” Zong Ping nodded with tears in his eyes, and asked again, “Can you bring the children here? I know that Beibei was born not long ago, so it’s not easy to take it out. You can bring Mingming and Ruirui. , I want to see them again before leaving.”
Zong Shao didn’t immediately agree, but said, “I will consider it.”
…
As soon as Zong Ping left, Mother Lin found Zong Shao and asked, “What did your father just tell you?”
“He wants to meet me before he leaves.” Zong Shao said.
“You promised?”
Zong Shao nodded: “Yes.”
Mother Lin’s face changed suddenly: “Zong Shao, you can’t have no conscience…”
Lin Wei, who had just come downstairs, heard this and hurriedly said, “Mom! Is there a lot of food left in the kitchen?”
Lin’s mother’s words were interrupted, and the old shígG Dujia said angrily: “You can see if there are any leftovers in the kitchen. I’ll tell Zong Shao about the business!”
Lin Wei said: “But this is my business. Xiao Zhang won’t be here tomorrow. I want to decorate the leftovers for her to take home. Can you help me go to the kitchen?”
Although Zhang Lan’s personality is not very enthusiastic, she is definitely not dull, at least she can speak well in front of Lin Wei’s family, plus she is diligent in her work, Mother Lin likes this young girl very much.
Thinking that Zhang Lan would not be here tomorrow, Mother Lin felt a little reluctant, so she got up and said, “Then I’ll go to the kitchen. Let’s talk later.” The second half of the sentence was told to Zong Shao.
After leaving Mother Lin, Lin Wei sat next to Zong Shao and said, “My mother is straight, don’t blame her.”
Zong Shao shook his head and said, “If you know why Mom is like this, how can you blame her?”
Mother Lin was so rude to Zong Ping, it was purely for Chen Xinglan’s injustice. As a son, Zong Shao naturally couldn’t blame his mother-in-law.
But it is precisely because he is a son, so even if he has a gap in his heart, he can’t scold Zong Ping like Mother Lin.
Lin Wei could understand Zong Shao, hugged him and said, “I will have a good talk with my mother.”
Zong Shao turned his head and kissed her face: “Thank you.”
“We are a family.” Lin Wei smiled.
After talking with Zong Shao, Lin Wei went to the kitchen to find Mother Lin.
Mother Lin put the rest of the dishes together, and when she saw her daughter came in, she asked, “What do you think I should use to serve these dishes better?”
“There are lunch boxes at home, and it should be almost enough to pack two lunch boxes.” The aluminum lunch box has a large capacity, and pressing one and two lunch boxes is enough for Zhang Lan’s family to eat.
“If I use the lunch box, do I have to ask her to bring it back?” Mother Lin asked.
Lin Wei said: “She can send it back, or I can pick it up when I have time. It’s not far away anyway.”
When she came here years ago, Mother Lin often went to catch the sea, and she knew the distribution of several nearby brigades. Thinking that the brigades where Zhang Lan’s family was located were not far away, she said, “Sure, then pack it in a lunch box.” He asked Lin Wei just now. What did you tell Zong Shao?
“I didn’t say anything, just…” Lin Wei paused and said, “Mom, can you stop scolding his dad in front of Zong Shao?”
Mother Lin stopped, her face lightened and asked, “Zong Shao asked you to tell me?”
“No, it’s just that I don’t think it’s good. Although Zong Shao’s father is not very good, I’m sorry to my mother-in-law, but he is Zong Shao’s father after all, and he has raised him for so many years. He promised to meet his father, not because He has no conscience and has forgotten the hardships my mother-in-law has endured. Do you think, if he is really such a person, why hasn’t he contacted his father all these years?”
Although Lin Wei didn’t know the level of Zong Shao’s father, it could be seen from the fact that he came with Commander Shen, his level was definitely not low.
If it wasn’t for his mother’s injustice, and he didn’t communicate with his father for many years, could Zong Ping not pull his only son? As long as Zong Ping took the lead, with Zong Shao’s ability, how could he be just a deputy battalion commander now?
As for completely severing the relationship, it is almost impossible.
Not to mention how Zong Shao would be criticized as a son of man and cut off ties with his father, he would say that Zong Shao embarked on the current path and became a naval officer, and he must have been influenced by Zong Ping.
It can be seen that no matter what Zong Shao thinks now, at least when he was young, he worshipped his father, and there is no emotion between father and son. Even after so many incidents, the father-son relationship was very little left, but it was too embarrassing for Zong Shao and his father to completely cut off the seats.
Mother Lin didn’t know Zong Shao’s embarrassment, but seeing Zong Ping living so well, and thinking of her deceased friend, she felt very uneasy.
“I’m afraid that Zong Shao forgot his mother’s hardships and was tricked by his father.” If even his own son doesn’t remember these things, what else can Chen Xinglan leave behind in this life?
Lin Wei was very confident in Zong Shao and said, “Don’t worry, Mom, he won’t forget it.”
Mother Lin was naturally willing to believe Zong Shao, sighed and said, “I hope so.”
…
After finishing the banquet, Lin Wei called Zhang Lan to the living room and settled the salary with her for more than half a month.
In order to run the Full Moon Wine, Zhang Lan has been busy these days, so in addition to her normal salary, Lin Wei gave her a big red envelope.
When Zhang Lan saw the money in the red envelope, she quickly waved her hand and said no, but Lin Wei shoved the red envelope into her hand and said, “This is what you deserve, take it, this is the last time I will give you a red envelope. “
She had agreed on when to do it before she came to Zong’s house, because Lin Wei asked her to do the full moon wine for a few more days, and Zhang Lan naturally knew what Lin Wei meant.
It’s just that she actually had a good time in Zong’s family for the past few months, so although she was mentally prepared, she couldn’t help but red eyes at this moment: “Sister Lin…”
“I’m very grateful for your care these past few months. If possible, I really hope that you can stay forever. It’s just that there is a feast in the world. I have no reason to hire a babysitter after the confinement, so…” Lin Wei He sighed and said, “I hope you will be safe and sound in the future.”
Zhang Lan raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, “Sister Lin, I also hope that your family will be well.”
“Let me borrow your good words.” Lin Wei got up and said, “There are a lot of leftovers today. I asked my mother to pack two lunch boxes. You will remember to take them back later. They are all leftovers, so don’t dislike them.”
“No, it’s too troublesome.” Zhang Lan waved her hand quickly and said that she didn’t dislike the leftovers. In fact, the leftovers in the kitchen had never been served on the table at all, and they had never touched anyone’s saliva.
In addition, Zhang Lan’s brigade is also an agricultural brigade. Unlike the fishing brigade, which can often eat seafood, and can get meat and fish once a month, it is a good day. The rest of the feast is basically meat dishes, not to mention chicken and duck, and even pigs are good things in the countryside.
“It’s all leftovers, just pack it in a lunch box, what’s the trouble?” Lin Wei said, thinking, “After you finish eating, you may have to take time to bring the lunch box back.”
Of course, delivering lunch boxes is not a hassle for Zhang Lan. In fact, when she came home with all the meaty meals, everyone in the family laughed so hard that they could not see their teeth. I heard that the lunch box was going to be returned, and several people were scrambling to get this job.
Because there are guards at the door of the family area, people outside can’t easily get in. Zhang Lan has been able to get in and out smoothly in the past few months because Lin Wei registered her at the door.
But none of her family has ever been in, so she wanders around at most. Businesses like state-run restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives also receive members from surrounding teams. It’s just that the country does not issue various bills like the city, so not many people come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Therefore, her family was very curious about what was in the family area, and they all wanted to come because they thought they had the opportunity to come in.
But Zhang Lan was afraid of causing trouble, so she didn’t let them deliver it. After washing the lunch box, she came to deliver the lunch box herself.
At that time, Lin Wei and the others had just finished their meal, and they were stunned when they saw her coming, and said, “The lunch box is not in a hurry, and it will be the same if you bring it tomorrow.”
“It’s alright, it’s not dark anyway, and I sent it here without anything else to do at home.” Zhang Lan smiled. After handing the lunch box to Lin Wei, she didn’t stay long, and went back after a brief chat.
Later, when Zong Shao was washing the dishes, Lin’s mother sighed with her daughter, “Xiao Zhang is a good person.”
“Yes.” Lin Wei nodded.
“Aren’t you thinking of continuing to hire her? You have three children and you have to go to work. Can you be busy?” Although Mother Lin felt that the cost of hiring a nanny was too high, she also felt sorry for her daughter and felt that Lin Wei was working too hard. .
Lin Wei shook her head and said, “It’s too eye-catching. I’d better take Beibei to school, and then take the shaker to the office, and let Mingming Ruirui watch it when I’m in class.”
The teacher who was pregnant last year did the same. Either let the older children watch, or ask the teacher who is not in the office to help watch. As long as it does not affect the teaching work, Principal Feng will not care about these matters.
Mother Lin thought for a moment and said, “That’s fine too.”
…
Mother Lin originally planned to go back the next day at Full Moon Wine, but because of Zong Ping’s arrival, she postponed her trip and decided to wait until they left.
Lin Wei also hoped that her mother would stay for a few more days and raise her hands to support this matter, as did the rest of the family.
It’s just that Lin Wei thought that Zong Ping and his wife came to Yazhou Island this time mainly to visit Zong Shao and a few children, but she didn’t want to finish class the next afternoon. As soon as she walked out of the school, she saw Wu Shujuan who was guarding outside the school.
Lin Wei thought at first that Wu Shujuan was looking for someone else, but seeing how familiar Zong Ping and Commander Shen were, she thought Wu Shujuan and Principal Feng also knew each other. As a result, Wu Shujuan walked towards her the next second and said directly, “Let’s talk.”
Hearing Wu Shujuan’s bossy words, Lin Wei laughed angrily: “Who are you?”
