The Lin brothers and sisters have a very good relationship with them. When the elder brother did not receive a better education, he has always been the umbrella of the younger sister. Lin Wan's first thought was to find a good sister-in-law for herself, and to live with her family and Meimei.
As soon as Brother Lin got married, Lin Wan asked Zhou Qingfeng for a lot of bridesmaids and sent them directly to the bride's house.
Lao Zhangren was sitting on an imported French fabric sofa, holding a colored porcelain tea cup made during the Qianlong period, and tasting several thousand yuan and two of Meishan silver cents, which was delicious.
The mother-in-law wears the latest middle-aged bat shirt from Milan, Italy. She wears a jade ring on her finger, a white gold necklace on her neck, and shiny black pearls on her earrings.
The old couple is full of the tolerance of a wealthy family at first glance. It's just hard to tell whether those goods are real or not. If someday the big golden chain floats on the water, it is hard to tell.
A large twenty-nine-inch color TV is placed on the TV cabinet in the living room, and the latest European and American movies are shown in the video recorder. Children from relatives sit in front of the TV and watch intently.
There is nothing fake about appliances, real stuff.
On September day, the air conditioner in the corner was blowing in a cool breeze, and several uncles in the natal family played cards around the coffee table. Seeing Brother Lin came back, they greeted loudly one by one, but they did not leave the card table.
Brother Lin hid in the kitchen, and under the rumbling of the smoke machine, he asked his wife in a low voice, "What the hell is going on? Why are you looking for me?"
The bride also looked worried, and said in a low voice: "A few uncles said that there were too few wines placed last time. They have to do it again, and get a 20 table to have face."
Brother Lin was married in his 30s, and his wife was ten years younger than himself. He loves his wife as if he loves his sister, and quickly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay to show it again, it's nothing more than spending money."
The bride shook her head again, "It's not that simple. My uncle wants to borrow money, and his two sons are going to get married."
Brother Lin looked bitter.
"The second uncle wants to find a few jobs in'Shengguang'. His son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and he himself want to get a lot of money and leisure."
Brother Lin looked bitter.
"The third uncle wants to do business, come to us to clear it."
Three points of bitterness.
"Si Jiu is a small official, and I don't know what he promised to lead, so he came to run the door with us."
Bitter four points.
"My dad also has an aunt's daughter who wants to go abroad and wants us to help. Maybe I will come to you tomorrow."
Five points bitter.
When the wrinkles on Brother Lin's forehead could catch the flies, his wife sighed, "I know these things are not easy, but these relatives in the family..."
The newlyweds cut a few fruit plates in the kitchen and brought them to the living room. Children from relatives rushed to scramble for them. Pushing and shoving, noisy and noisy, and relatives also laughed haha.
Brother Lin found a little Mazha to sit down, and her uncle rushed to ask: "Xiao Lin, how much is your monthly salary?"
"Oh..., the basic salary is one hundred and eighty, and you can get three hundred and two for full attendance and overtime. There are also some piecemeal subsidies, a total of four hundred yuan."
Brother Lin's salary is quite high, much better than his previous unit. In the "Holy Light", it also belongs to the middle class. After all, the drivers now have technical scarce personnel.
It's just that the uncle opened his mouth and said in amazement: "It's only four hundred yuan? Didn't you say that your secondary school students get four or five hundred? Many people have thousands of them."
Brother Lin smiled bitterly and didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
The second uncle hurriedly intervened and asked, "How can a job earn a thousand a month? Can I go?"
My second uncle is over fifty, and I don’t have much ability. I guess I can be a cleaner if I go there, or sell it early on the street.
Brother Lin smiled more bitterly, and said euphemistically: "It's fine if you have expertise, or go to university first."
When I heard that I was going to study in'university', my second uncle's expression collapsed, and he said in annoyance, "Didn't you say that your sister is in the group? I can't help? It's not difficult to help you get a good job if you don't talk about helping others. Right."
Brother Lin immediately became happy and said, "My sister helped me when I was a driver. I didn't know how to drive, but my sister asked me to learn. Otherwise, I really can't do anything."
The relatives immediately made noises, all feeling that this was wrong.
"Such a big group, how many industries. Let your sister go and talk about it. You are a real brother, so you have to be a director."
"I heard that being the director of the'Holy Light' can earn five thousand a month. Twenty years ago, the salary for a lifetime was only that little."
"The'Holy Light' recruiting people is also messy. There is a rural financial officer who also serves as the director. What is the name of Liu Changmei is an old woman who actually gets a few thousand yuan in salary."
"Now the mother-in-law who acts as Secretary-General is also from the countryside. Tsk tsk tsk..., I don't know if Zhou is always good for this?"
The relatives were laughing and arguing all the time, saying that Brother Lin would be too unpromising if he didn't get a salary of a thousand dollars. This group of people likes to chew their tongues, try their best to imagine, and speak amazing words, in order to show how capable they are.
Brother Lin is like a monkey grandson who is being cursed, his ears are buzzing. He intervened a little bit and said,'Director Liu Changmei is in the purchasing department and is responsible for supply chain management. '
A bunch of relatives don’t understand “supply chain”, but they are very envious when they hear the word “purchase”. They all say, “This errand is so lucrative, and the old woman surnamed Liu must have made a lot of money”.
They also asked Brother Lin if he could do some shopping too, so that the whole family could get some money.
So the topic quickly turned back, and the third uncle asked Brother Lin: "I went to the'Shengguang' headquarters building a few days ago, and there was public bidding information on one wall.
Cans, fabrics, clocks, toys, all kinds of mess. Among them, liquor is also purchased. I happen to have a batch of liquor on hand. Xiaolin, you help me find a relationship and sell it to'Holy Light'. "
Sanjiu smiled obviously harmless to humans and animals.
Brother Lin was surprised: "If you want to sell, just contact the group business department directly."
In the trade with the Soviet Union, alcohol is regarded as an important variety. Just as cheap entertainment products are selling well in Japan, the sales of tobacco and alcohol in Maozi's home have skyrocketed.
In the domestic tobacco monopoly, it is difficult for the "Shengguang" to obtain the source of tobacco, but it is okay to say that the high number of liquor is. Maozi has no love for domestic sauce-flavor liquors, but he has a high acceptance of cheap blended liquors.
So using potato grains to brew edible alcohol can be sold for money. "Shengguang" purchases in large quantities in this area, which has caused a sensation among many local manufacturers.
It's just that the third uncle...
"Oh, the business department of the'Shengguang' is too troublesome. To do some factory inspections and to trace the source of the goods, it is only necessary to check whether the person is three generations of good people. I wonder if it can be convenient?"
Brother Lin thought that the third uncle wanted to go through the back door, and the selling price was higher. But his wife coughed for a while, but she didn't speak much.
Brother Lin suddenly felt excited and shook his head quickly, "The group has a large business, and you must find the corresponding department. I'm just a driver, this can't help."
When his request was rejected, the third uncle suddenly lost face, turned his head and stared at his niece fiercely, and cursed unwillingly, "I have only been married for the past few days, and I have helped outsiders."
The face changed too quickly, and the atmosphere seemed to be stiff, and other relatives hurriedly rounded it off. The old man and mother-in-law had both spoken, and the angrily third uncle stopped a little bit.
But the third uncle stopped, and the fourth uncle came to ask again, asking for some foreign exchange, saying that his leader was going abroad, and he had already packed a ticket to get foreign exchange.
Under domestic foreign exchange control, only a limited amount of foreign exchange can be exchanged in banks when going abroad. This is far from enough for some people who want to go abroad to be chic.
Before Brother Lin could speak, Si Jiu connected the foreign exchange matters to his own future-as if he had foreign exchange, he could be promoted. Without foreign exchange, you will be finished.
Fourth uncle also brought Fourth Aunt, and more than forty couples kept begging. Others also followed to persuade them, as if Brother Lin owed them. If he didn't help, he looked down on his relatives.
The fourth aunt took Lin's arm, tears burst into her eyes, and she kept telling the grievances the fourth uncle had suffered in the unit, hoping to turn over this time.
Brother Lin has never experienced this before, and it is not to promise, nor is it not to promise. The whole person was dumbfounded.
The scene in the living room was too chaotic, as if a group of ugly zombies surrounded the people, exposing their mouths in the blood basin, stretching out their corrupted limbs, and desperately pulling Brother Lin down.
In addition, a few relatives’ children chased and slapped in the living room, kicking over a trash can, smashing a cup, crying and screaming, making it like hell is coming.
Brother Lin felt for the first time that life after marriage was not as good as he imagined.
