at dusk.
Lin Yue came to Ran Qiuye's house carrying a handful of eggs.
There are three main rooms in the north, a gatehouse and a side room in the south, and a kitchen in the east, plus a small courtyard. The three members of the Ran family live here.
After all, they are returned overseas Chinese, and their conditions are better than those of ordinary families.
"Auntie, uncle, I'm here."
"Xiao Lin is here, hurry up, come in the house."
Ran Qiuye's mother was chopping cabbage in the kitchen. When she heard his voice, she hurried out and wiped her wet hands on her apron.
Ran's mother's face was quite prosperous, but there was a touch of sadness between her eyebrows.
Lin Yue handed over the egg in his hand: "There are eggs inside, please keep it."
"You said you come here every now and then with eggs. I heard Xiaoye say that you raise chickens to improve the lives of the residents in the courtyard. There are only a few chickens in total. If you give them to this one and that one, what will you eat?" His mother looked at him slightly angrily.
"I still have some here. To be honest, I have leftovers every day."
"Nonsense, is that a fairy chicken of yours that lays eight eggs a day?"
"Fairy chickens are not worthy of mentioning, but monster chickens are." Lin Yue joked with her with a smile. When he raised five chickens in the past, he could give four eggs to the residents of the courtyard every month. Now he has two more chickens, increasing the production by 4%. 10. [Double Harvest lv2] Once opened, eight times a day is too exaggerated. Two times is still possible.
"No matter how big or small you are, you will be poor no matter who you are."
Ran's mother said blaming words, but her eyes were full of smiles. She was really satisfied and happy with her daughter's boyfriend. Look at him, he can chat with their meticulous old man, he can twist his face and tell her interesting things that happened in Sijiu City with a smile. The key is that he won't be as reserved and shy as an outsider at home, but he won't be shy either. He can be rude and presumptuous, but in short, he has just the right sense of proportion, without the impetuousness and childishness of twenty-year-olds at all.
"Xiao Lin is here." Hearing the conversation outside, Ran's father opened the door of the south room and walked to the yard.
Compared to Ran's mother, Ran's father is much more serious. He is stern in his daily life, and with the pair of round-framed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose, he looks like an old scholar who is out of touch with the times.
"Yes." Lin Yue said, "Oh, by the way, I asked you about what you said last time. Don't worry, he is fine. He was just detained for a few days and he went home yesterday. "
"That's good." Ran's father nodded and walked outside with his hands behind his back. He said, "Xiaoye went to the alley in front to tutor the students with their homework. You go sit in the room first, and I'll call someone."
Ran's mother said, "Her father, I can just go and do this. You and Xiao Lin should go into the house and talk for a while."
Lin Yue shook his head helplessly. He knew why Ran's father did this - he couldn't express his gratitude in words, so he might as well use actions instead.
Ran's mother let Lin Yue into the room and made him a pot of tea: "A few days ago, a student of Lao Ran came back from the south and brought him a box of Mingqian Maofeng. You can try it."
Lin Yue picked up the cup, smelled the aroma, took a sip, and nodded: "The aroma is pure, it goes into the throat and is sweet, good tea."
Ran's mother smiled happily after hearing this. It was already rare to be able to see the teacher at this time, and to have the courage to see the teacher. Gifts and other things were really nothing compared to this bravery and friendship.
Lin Yue took another sip and put down the cup: "By the way, it's what I told you last time."
Ran's mother said, "I've resigned."
"Just quit."
Knowing that Ran's father had quit his job as a university professor, Lin Yue felt relieved.
Ran's mother said: "But you also know that Xiaoye no longer takes charge of the class, and Lao Ran quit his job... I slept through it at around 1 o'clock yesterday morning. When I got up and saw that the bed was still empty, I lifted the When I opened the curtains and took a look, I found that the light in the study room in the south room was still on..."
"Don't worry, can you still go hungry while I'm here? Let me tell you some good news. The factory director has applied for a job subsidy for me, and I can get an extra twenty yuan a month."
"So many."
Ran's mother was really surprised. Lao Ran was a university professor and his salary was high and normal. Where was Lin Yue? For an ordinary worker in a steel rolling mill, the basic salary for someone his age is only in his early twenties. For him, the job subsidy alone is equivalent to the salary of workers at the same level.
"Okay."
In fact, in Lin Yue's opinion, this is not acceptable. It is very unacceptable. If an engineer like him who had worked at NASA returned to work in China a few decades later, how could the salary increase be twice that of ordinary workers? A hundred times would be almost the same. However, living in the current era, there is no way around it.
While the two were talking, they heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Ran Qiuye walked in behind Ran's father.
Ran's mother winked at Ran's father: "You guys talk, I'll cook. Lao Ran, didn't Xiao Meng bring some bacon and ham when he came two days ago? You go and get it from the cellar, as well as the bottle What kind of wine, white bottle..."
"That one is called Wuliangye."
"It's the same as Erguotou here. You can take it when I tell you. Do you plan to keep it to entertain others?"
Ran's father was speechless and left the living room with his hands behind his back.
After the two elders left, Ran Qiuye pointed to her room: "Go in and talk."
Lin Yue nodded and followed her into the west room.
"Yesterday I went to Qin Huairu's house. Xiao Huaihua told me that you injured He Yuzhu and almost went to jail. What happened?" Ran Qiuye got straight to the point as soon as he entered the house.
Lin Yue said: "Shouldn't you first tell me what you did at school today, which child you saw was late, which teacher was speechless by the students' questions? Are these topics I am willing to listen to?"
"How long has it been and you still have the heart to joke?"
"You really want to know?"
"I really want to know."
"Then do you have to be mentally prepared to appreciate the evil of human nature?"
Ran Qiuye's face changed slightly, but she still nodded: "Go ahead."
Lin Yue did not hide it from her, and recounted his conflicts with Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and others.
Relationships are complicated, things are even more complicated, and human nature is even more complicated.
A quarter of an hour after Lin Yue stopped talking, she still hadn't figured out the grudges in the courtyard, but one thing that was certain was that Lin Yue seemed invincible, but Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi, Liu Guangtian and others will not hesitate to step on him as long as they find an opportunity.
"No, you can't live there anymore, no..."
Ran Qiuye was panicked. She was a person who was unwilling to think bad things about people, but this did not mean that she was a hopelessly naive person. Especially during the six months of being marginalized, she knew very well that when What a terrible beast a person will become when the evil in his heart is channeled out.
Lin Yue glanced out the window, walked around behind her, and hugged her waist from behind.
Ran Qiuye's body trembled slightly, and her two hands subconsciously tried to break his arm, but the strength suddenly decreased midway, and her palms gently held his wrist.
"I checked the almanac. Next Friday is a good day. Please take a day off and I will take you back to Changping to meet my parents."
Regarding his relationship with He Yuyu, none of the ten thousand explanations were as effective as this one.
In this day and age, meeting your parents is basically equivalent to getting engaged.
"After the Spring Festival, find a time to collect the certificate."
Ran Qiuye was neither coy nor pretentious, but nodded gently: "Okay."
…
Half a month later.
As the New Year is approaching, people have started the process of buying new year's goods again. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, passers-by carrying chicken, duck, and fish in the streets are constantly enjoying the heat. Old people with earmuffs are frying corn kernels on the streets again, which makes them laugh a lot. The child covered his ears and stayed away, waiting for the "bang" to come.
Silly Zhu can already walk on the ground, but he can't do heavy work, but there is no problem in getting married.
On this day, Qin Jingru walked from the front door to the back, carrying pork in her left hand and a basket of eggs in her right hand.
You tell me, Xu Damao was assigned to go to the cinema. He thought that the good days would be over, but he never thought that this job would be good.
You have to have fun during the holidays, and young people and their loved ones want to watch movies. As for the tickets, the front row and the back row, the middle and both sides have the same ticket price, but the movie-watching experience is different.
As long as you want to sit in a good seat and show off in front of your girlfriend, just give the conductor an extra cent or two.
If you charge one dollar for a movie, how many shows will be shown in a day?
"No wonder Lin Yue said this was a fat job and persuaded me to let Xu Damao sell tickets. He was still kind to me."
Qin Jingru whispered while touching her slightly bulging belly.
"Jingru."
Accompanied by a familiar call, the door to the west wing of the central courtyard opened, and Qin Huairu walked out.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Qin Huairu said: "I heard that Xu Damao did a good job in the cinema?"
"No way, who did you listen to?" Qin Jingru said: "That kind of job is much worse than being a projectionist in a factory."
"How long have you lied to me?" Qin Huairu said, "I've seen you emptying things home in the past two days."
"They all got this from Xu Damao's parents. The old couple felt sorry for their children, so they saved meat, eggs, fish, etc. to subsidize us."
Of course Qin Jingru couldn't admit that the things were bought with money, otherwise what would happen if Qin Huairu asked to borrow money?
Qin Huairu said angrily: "Qin Jingru, to tell you the truth, Dr. Chen from the Sixth Hospital has been transferred. If you use this excuse to send me away again, I will tell Xu Damao about issuing fake test orders."
