"I want to give you a surprise." Long Xing smiled awkwardly.
Long Xing saw Mrs. Lin staring at Yingying and looking up and down, looking a little excited, not even looking at the gift in her hand. He didn't expect his adoptive mother to have such a big reaction when she saw Yingying.
It seems that he underestimated the lethality of Yingying's appearance.
Long Xing has not been home much since he entered high school. After graduation, I worked in the city, rented a house, and basically didn't go home for several months.
His adoptive parents had very little affection for him, but they just needed a son to take care of him until the end of his life, so that he could fill the labor force for the family's forests and fish ponds.
Unexpectedly, Long Xing, who did not continue his studies, directly joined the work and had less time to come back. Uncle Lin and Mrs. Lin, who live on mountains, forests and fish ponds, are actually very wealthy, but they are reluctant to spend money.
When Long Xing came home, he not only brought his beautiful girlfriend, but also a large bag of gifts, which made Granny Lin very fond of her.
In fact, Long Xing discovered that Mrs. Lin was confused two or three years ago. Maybe it was the root of the disease caused by losing his son early in life.
It took her several years to have her adopted son, Long Xing, but after Long Xing came back less frequently, her same problems started to happen again.
Mrs. Lin held Yingying's hand with a smile and said, "It's okay now. My Xiao Longxing has gone home and brought his wife with him. Let's go in first and talk about it. Don't leave it hanging at the door."
The three of them entered the house together. Yingying secretly looked at Long Xing's house and found that it was indeed very simple. The bamboo and wood structure is a bit old.
Years of exposure to wind and sun, and its rough appearance make people think it is a rainproof shed.
"Isn't your uncle at home? Why haven't you seen him?" Yingying looked away and looked at Granny Lin who was busy carrying the stool and asked.
"That damn ghost was called to the forest by a group of people early in the morning, saying they wanted to buy mountain trees." Mrs. Lin answered Yingying while busy pouring her water.
She glanced sideways at the gifts placed on the table. In addition to fruits and melatonin, there were also soft-shell Yunyan and Jian Nanchun.
Mrs. Lin recognized him at a glance. She also loved to drink with Uncle Lin. Knowing that this wine was very expensive, I immediately twitched my eyes.
"Xiao Longxing, it's your first time to come to our house and you brought such an expensive gift. How dare you accept it? Have you forgotten what Uncle Lin and I usually teach you?"
Granny Lin looked at these gifts. She was used to being thrifty. She said she felt sorry for her son's girlfriend, but she was actually shocked in her heart. This girl must be a child of a wealthy family.
Yingying smiled and said: "Auntie, these gifts are just for me. They are just a small gesture and are not expensive."
Hearing what Yingying said, Granny Lin felt a little relieved. She put down the teapot and flipped through the gifts, and found that in addition to expensive tobacco, wine and health products, there was also an exquisite red box.
"Daughter, what is this? I have never seen it before?" Mrs. Lin fiddled with the box in her hand, like a three-year-old child discovering a new toy.
Long Xing picked up the box, opened it, took out the jade bracelet and smiled: "Mom, Yingying bought this for you."
"Oh, why is this happening? This jade bracelet is too valuable. My dear girl, I will never accept it from you!"
When Granny Lin saw the delicate dark green bracelet, although there was a look of love on her face, she still refused it with embarrassment.
Yingying followed Long Xing's instructions before and said with a calm smile: "Auntie, this bracelet is just an ordinary jade bracelet. It's worth a thousand yuan. Please accept it. See if it suits you. Jade nourishes your body, or else Shall I put it on for you?"
"Yes, Mom, it took Yingying a long time to choose this. Just give it to your wife and accept it. We are all a family anyway." Long Xing said with a smile.
Yingying's face turned red when she heard this, and she secretly glared at Long Xing, wondering if she would have any ideas if she told Granny Lin so early. We haven't even gotten married yet, so I don't feel ashamed to speak.
Mrs. Lin could only say embarrassedly: "Well, Xiao Longxing is really filial and a good wife, so I will accept it for now and give my daughter a better bracelet in the future."
After she finished speaking, she was secretly thinking about using the 100,000 yuan that the old man planned to find a wife for her son, and asking someone to give her daughter-in-law a more beautiful bracelet. "
Yingying knew that this might be a rule in the countryside. Her mother-in-law gave her daughter-in-law a bracelet, and she did not refuse. She stood up and said with a smile: "Auntie, let me put on the bracelet for you."
As he spoke, he took the jade bracelet and helped Mrs. Lin put it on. Mrs. Lin was so happy that she almost couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear and thanked her repeatedly.
Seeing his adoptive mother happy, Long Xing felt warm in his heart. Although she was a little confused, she still loved herself very much and kept close to her whenever she had any delicious food.
Suddenly he thought of his adoptive father, Uncle Lin, who often beat and scolded him, and his heart skipped a beat.
"No, forest trees in this season are generally not for sale. Why would anyone go up the mountain to buy wood?"
Thinking of this, Long Xing turned his head and glanced at Granny Lin, who was smiling, pretending to be calm on the surface. He said to Yingying: "You stay with mom and talk, I'll go to the mountains and forests to have a look, and I'll be back soon."
"Go ahead and ask uncle to come back for dinner early. I'll help aunt with the cooking." Yingying was being held by Granny Lin at this time, asking questions, but she didn't look impatient at all.
Long Xing turned around, almost as if he had oiled his feet, slid out of the room, and ran straight to the back mountain.
At this time, in the back mountain, in the forest, a group of seven or eight people were quarreling in the forest around Lin Bo.
"I have said that Boss Yang and I are regular customers. Since it is he who wants to buy wood. I, Uncle Lin, have no problem with it. We have had many years of friendship. But he didn't come in person. Who knows if you are from his wood company? Yes. You cut down all the big and small trees together, I can’t sell this tree!”
Lin Bo's Tumo Xingzi came out and blocked the tree in front of the tree to prevent the person with the electric saw from getting close.
"Old man, get the hell out of the way! To tell you the truth, we are indeed boss Yang's workers, and it was he who asked us to buy your entire forest! Cut it down without leaving a single tree! Isn't that why you planted the mountain? Money? This is one hundred thousand yuan, including the saplings."
The bald man with a sinewy face, the gold necklace around his neck was as thick as a dog chain, glowing with golden light, one of his big gold teeth was exposed, and he shouted at Lin Bo.
In the distance, two seven-row cars were parked at the end. A woman wearing a veil in the car watched quietly.
"Nonsense! Boss Yang would never say that! He knows that small trees are hope for mountain people. None of you can cut down my trees anymore. I won't sell them!" Lin Bo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Take him aside. If you keep making any noise, shut him up! Hurry up, the boss is still waiting for a reply." The man on the leash stopped pretending and ordered directly to the two men beside him.
"Which one of you dares!" Lin Bo wanted to put up a final resistance, but four thick hands grabbed him and threw him away.
Lin Bo hit his head on a big tree and was knocked unconscious.
"Hurry up and chop down the tree, let him lie down for a while, don't really kill him."
The man on the leash glanced at Lin Bo who fainted and waved his hand.
The sound of chainsaws rang out, and trees of various sizes fell to the ground with a clicking sound.
The forest was in a mess. The man looked at a big tree in front of him. It was several arms thick and could not be carried by ten people.
"Brothers, start with this big tree. This tree is old."
This tree, the same tree where Long Xing and the little squirrel played, is now high into the clouds.
Looking at it, misfortune is about to come.
