Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 440 Daily Life

On the eve of the 1980 Spring Festival.

Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxuan walked into the house carrying a thick pile of books.

"Mom and Dad, we are back!"

As soon as Lin Qingxuan entered the yard, he shouted loudly. Liu Huizhen came out of the kitchen and looked at the brother and sister coming in together with a gentle smile on her face.

"Have you finished your exams? Are you officially on vacation?"

"Yes, we are on holiday, Mom. I will help you during the holiday. How much will you pay me per day?"

After Lin Qingxuan put down the book in his hand, he asked Liu Huizhen in a flattering manner.

Liu Huizhen glanced at her youngest son and said, "You are going to help me, how can you accept money?

You are eating my food, drinking my drinks, and living at your sister's house. You already owe us a lot of money. It's a holiday now, so you have to work to pay us back."

Lin Qingxuan looked at his mother in disbelief, "Mom, am I your biological son? You can't do this to me."

"You are not my biological son. You were picked up on the street. Do you want me to help you find your biological parents?"

Liu Huizhen looked at Lin Qingxuan with cold eyes, and scared Lin Qingxuan so much that he quickly hid behind Lin Qingyan.

"Sister, sister, can I work for you during the holidays? I don't want much, just 5 yuan a day, or a commission like Sister Liu Yajun, is that okay with you?"

Before Lin Qingyan could say anything, she heard Liu Huizhen's roar.

"What? 5 dollars a day? Why don't you just go rob?"

"Mom, mom, I don't ask for much. I just sell clothes at a stall and I can earn more than 5 yuan a day.

Or I could pull a cart and sell barbecue on the streets, and I could make more than that in a day. Besides, I am your younger brother, so I should be taken care of, don’t you think so, sister?”

Lin Qingyan smiled and watched her brother play tricks.

"You can help out wherever you want, in a clothing store, a photo studio, my mom's dessert shop, or my dad's braised meat shop. No matter which store you go to, you'll be paid 5 yuan a day."

"Sister, is it true?"

"Ok!"

"Sister, you are so nice. You are the best sister in the world."

"You're also the best brother in the world."

Lin Qingyan raised her hand and touched the back of her brother's head. Lin Qingxuan felt his sister's touch and quickly bent down and put his head in front of his sister.

Like a puppy waiting for its owner's caress, these words suddenly appeared in Lin Qingyan's mind and she burst out laughing.

The two siblings played around for a while before Liu Huizhen urged Lin Qingxuan to pick up Lin Jianshe.

"Qingxuan, go find your dad and see if he has sold all the meat. If he has, forget it. If there is any left, bring it back.

Old Mrs. Zhang from next door asked her to leave two pounds of braised meat for her eldest grandson, Uncle Li asked him to leave a pound of pig ears for wine, and Uncle Wang asked him to leave some peanuts.

"okay!"

Lin Qingxuan pushed his bicycle and ran out happily.

After Lin Qingxuan left, Lin Qingyan accompanied Liu Huizhen to the kitchen to work.

"Mom, Dad's braised meat shop is doing very well, even more than your dessert shop."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the braised meat shop to do so well. The pigs raised in Zhaojia Village are not enough. Your dad went there a few days ago and asked the villagers to raise more. He bought them all."

Liu Huizhen really didn't expect that the braised meat shop would be so popular. Her dessert shop is mostly populated by elderly people and children.

My husband’s braised meat shop is loved by men of all ages. As long as they have money, they are willing to buy from it.

"Then Village Chief Zhao should be happy!"

Her father's braised meat shop directly helps Zhaojia Village generate income. When the fruit trees mature next year, there will be no need to worry about the children destroying the fruits when they go back home. Their parents will help them to keep the first hurdle.

"Of course not. Not only is Village Chief Zhao happy, but your father has also started to show off recently because of the money he made. Every night when he comes home, he asks me to count the money with him to see how much money he made that day."

Liu Huizhen thought of her husband, who would come home and nag about counting money every day, and looked at his increasingly younger face, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your father is busy now, but he is getting younger and younger. He is more confident and self-assured after making money.

A few days ago, he discussed with me that he would buy another house when he had the chance, and when you and Yizhou got married, he would give it to you as a dowry."

"Mom, I have my own house, and Yizhou also has a house. You can just leave it to Qingxuan." Lin Qingyan refused.

"No, although your father and I may not be able to treat you equally, we will try our best to treat you fairly.

Anyway, you are still a long way from graduating. When you graduate and get married, your father and I will earn enough money to buy you a house as a dowry."

"Okay, thank you, Mom!"

Lin Qingyan did not refuse her parents' kindness. At most, she would give more gifts when Qingxuan got married.

Liu Huizhen seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment of hesitation, she said to Lin Qingyan, "I have discussed your eldest brother's situation with your father.

While your father and I are still alive, we will not have any contact with them. When your father and I grow old and pass away, we will leave something for your eldest brother's children.

Don't give it to your eldest brother, just give it directly to your grandson, after all, he is the eldest grandson of our Lin family."

Lin Qingyan knew that Liu Huizhen spoke to her so tactfully because she was considering her feelings.

"Mom, this is what I should do. No matter how wrong the adults are, the child is innocent. If the child is sensible by then, I, as his aunt, will not be stingy and will give him something."

The implication is that if the child is not sensible, then forget it, she is willing to treat everyone with kindness.

But if someone is malicious towards her, she will not be the scapegoat.

Liu Huizhen did not continue the topic, but changed the subject and asked Lin Qingyan:

"You all have a day off today, why didn't you ask Ye Yi and Lan Lan to come over for dinner?"

"I told them. Ye Yi went to pick up Coco from her school. Lan Lan will send their books back first and come with them later."

The Coco that Lin Qingyan was talking about was Ye Yi's sister. Ye Yi went back last time to pick up her sister.

At that time, she did not pass by Ye Yi's family, but took her away directly. Before leaving, Ye Yi secretly met with her eldest sister, let her know that she was the one who took her sister away, and gave her some money.

She believed that her eldest sister would not tell her parents about this, and even if she did, they would not know where to find her.

After returning to Beijing, no one knew how Fang Yunxing handled it. He directly registered Ye Yi's sister in Ye Yi's house, and changed her name according to the child's wishes. Now her name is Ye Keke.

"Is Coco adjusting well at school?"

"Ye Yi said that she adapted well to the school. Except for the first few days, she was a little reserved and followed Ye Yi closely. Gradually, she got used to it. After all, she is a big kid."

"I really have to thank Yunxing for this. If it weren't for Yunxing's help in arranging the school, Keke wouldn't be able to go to school so soon.

You should call Yunxing to come over for dinner, Yunxing likes to eat."

"I know. I've asked Ye Yi to pick up Coco and call Yun Xing at the same time."
