Lin Mo lamented the TV series 'Deception', drank a big bowl of ginger soup, rode his broken bicycle that rang everywhere except the bell, and went out with his younger brother.
Suddenly returning from the four-wheeled era to the two-wheeled era, Lin Mo was really not used to it. He almost took Lin Shu into the ditch several times. Shengsheng broke out in a sweat.
Lin Mo stabilized the car again, shook his head and meditated, as the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. However, God is willing to give him a chance to be reborn, not to mention the current situation, even if it is a thousand times or ten thousand times more difficult than it is now, he will be happy.
Qingtong Village is located in a small southwest county, not too far from the provincial capital, Land of Abundance. The climate is pleasant, the coldest winter is only minus one or two degrees, and it rarely snows. Looking around at this moment, there are lush green rapeseed fields everywhere, adding a bit of verdant vitality. The cold wind blows gently, and the heaviness in Lin Mo's heart is much lighter.
The village chief's house was built next to the main road. It was an ordinary small bungalow. The main house was turned into a small grocery store. There were many daily necessities of miscellaneous brands or even no brands in the well-polished window, as well as dried noodles and salt. MSG pepper, two peanut candies for 10 cents, 3 bags of snacks for 50 cents, crispy noodles and cat shrimp crackers for 50 cents per bag are the most expensive snacks here.
In the village, only the village head's family has opened a grocery store, and the business is pretty good. After years of operation, they can work outside as a person for a long time.
Qingtong Village has no special products and no factories. Most of the villagers rely on farming and working outside to make ends meet. As the head of the village, Lin Changqing really has nothing to earn. To give him some chicken, fish or something during the festival, you have to sneak in.
Without those messy interests involved, everyone has lived in the same village for generations, and there must be relatives. Lin Changqing is quite fair and just in dealing with things, and everyone in the village respects him. The most important thing is that Lin Changqing's son is very capable. He hasn't read much but he has a good brain. He has changed from a small mason to a big contractor. A small government project, with a little packaging, who doesn't call Boss Lin outside
Now that his son has become the boss, Lin Changqing naturally has no shortage of money to spend. If any family in the village encounters something, he can always help out. Such a cadre is really hard to find with a lantern.
"Xiao Mo, Xiao Shu, why did you two come to Third Grandpa's place?" Lin Changqing said as he grabbed a handful of peanut candies from the candy jar, stuffed them into Lin Shu's hands, pinched his chubby red face, and felt strange no. Lin Changqing felt that everything in his life was good, and he was much luckier than his peers, but his only regret was that his daughter-in-law failed to give birth to a grandson, and the little girl was spoiled by his daughter-in-law in the city. Xiaoshu's tiger-headed and tiger-headed appearance is rare? But all in all, Xiaoshu and his little girl combined are not as good as Lin Mo, and they were printed just like his mother. Fortunately, it was a boy. If it was a girl, Lin Changqing shook his head quietly in his heart.
"Did your mother send the money to your father? Is the money enough? If not, Third Grandpa can give you some." Lin Changqing is not tall, with a slightly fat body. The old people of the same age in the village are younger, smiling all day long, like Maitreya Buddha.
It's still very early, and it's cold in winter. Everyone is staying at home, and there are basically no people outside at this moment. Lin Mo stopped being around the bush, and said in a hoarse voice, "Third Grandpa, Wang Yanyan took the money and ran away with Chen Laosan of Hongling Village." When Wang Yanyan married into the Lin family, Lin Mo was only three or four years old, and she basically didn't remember much. As soon as he entered the door, he changed his name to her mother, but after going through what happened in his previous life, how could Lin Mo still be able to call out the word 'Mom'
"What?" Lin Changqing almost rolled his eyes: "What did you say? Wang Yanyan ran away with Chen Laosan?"
Lin Mo's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot: "She told Xiaoshu that she went back to her natal family to borrow money. I went there yesterday, and her natal family said she never went back. When I came back, I asked Xiaoshu, Xiaoshu Said that she left with Chen Laosan and beat him up, you see, his arms are still all blue."
Lin Mo rolled up Lin Shu's sleeves, and there were bruises all over them, which looked like they had been wrung out, and there were still on his body. When he saw it at home, Lin Mo wanted to raise a knife to kill Wang Yanyan. .
Lin Changqing looked at Lin Shubai's chubby arms full of pinch marks, and his heart ached. However, he was not an impulsive person, so he asked Lin Shubai what his mother had said. Lin Shu thought of his brother's confession when he was at home, so he roughly repeated what Wang Yanyan and Chen Laosan had said.
After hearing this, Lin Changqing's face changed drastically, and Lin Mo preemptively said, "Third Grandpa, my father is still waiting for money for surgery in the hospital, can you lend us 20,000 yuan first, and I also brought the collective land use certificate , put it here with you first. When my father takes good care of his legs, we will find a way to pay back the money, even if we sell the house, we will not owe you a penny." After finishing speaking, Lin Mo put a thin The little red book wrapped in a plastic bag was stuffed into Lin Changqing's hand.
In this era, there is no real estate certificate in rural areas, and the collective land use certificate is equivalent to the real estate certificate.
Lin Changqing held the hot little red book, looked at Lin Mo's resolute and sharp eyes, then looked at the ignorant Xiao Lin Shu, sighed helplessly and shook his head, and returned the little red book to Lin Mo: "This book You keep it by yourself, don’t lose it. The third grandpa will lend you the money. It’s important to take care of your father’s legs first. My family doesn’t have so much cash. Wait a minute, let’s go to the town to credit Social withdrawal, after taking the money, I will send it to your father with you. Speaking of which, Wang Yanyan was the one who led the thread for your father. I didn’t expect her to be such a person! I’m sorry for your father, I want your grandma to know this I'm afraid I have to expose my old skin."
In front of Lin Shu, Lin Changqing was so angry that he couldn't say anything too harsh.
"Third Grandpa, I know I can't blame you for this matter. It is a great kindness for you to lend us money. I will persuade grandma well." Lin Mo said the truth, no matter in the past life or the present life, in their When the family was in the most difficult time, Lin Changqing extended a helping hand. Even if his grandma scolded him so much that he couldn't even get his head up, as he said, he just "exposed his old skin". Afterwards, he still helped There are many of them.
Lin Changqing patted Lin Mo on the shoulder and said, "I'm at ease with what you say." Who doesn't know that Lin Mo's grandma loves him the most, even Lin Shu, the youngest grandson, can't compare to him.
Lin Changqing has always been generous, but his wife is notoriously stingy. She heard the words clearly in the room. As soon as Lin Changqing entered the room, she scolded with a dark old face: "Lin Laosan, are you crazy? You can borrow 20,000 yuan if you want, and the money is yours." Did you earn it? Do you have a say?"
"My son earned the money, and my son spent it for me. I spend it as I like, and you don't mind me!"
"Hey, you've turned your back on it today, haven't you? How do you like to spend? You have a good idea, tell me who is in charge of this family? Who is in charge?"
"I have the final say!" Lin Changqing said with a straight neck.
"Do you dare to say it again?" The old lady almost jumped up.
After being yelled at by his wife, Lin Changqing was furious again: "... Well, you have the final say. But what do you say? Just watch Lin Jian waiting to die in the hospital? Don't forget, Lin Jian's marriage That's the big media that you asked me to do, can we just ignore it?"
Lin Changqing babbled a lot of words, his voice was high and sometimes low, and Lin Mo couldn't hear it clearly outside. The third grandpa is good at everything, but he is a bit fearful of internal affairs, and the third grandma is a strong one. Usually, she dares not say anything when she says one thing. People in the village often make jokes about him "scraping ears".
Facts have proved that men's ears are more conducive to family unity, especially smart ears. On the surface, they seem to be subdued by their wives. When it comes to critical times, when have they failed to realize their ideas
No, just over ten minutes later, Lin Changqing came out of the house with a bankbook and two hot eggs in his hand. He handed the eggs to the two brothers respectively: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, eat an egg first, and we will leave after eating."
The third grandma also came out of the house, and cursed with a fat face: "Damn old man, I let you do all the good people alone." She took two sesame cakes from the cupboard and gave them to the Lin Mo brothers, laughing He said: "Where are eggs enough? Xiaomo, Xiaoshu, take these pancakes and eat them on the road. After I tidy up the house, I will go to see your father. Don't worry too much, your third grandpa will help you in everything." Come on, I'll pay you back, Uncle Hai."
"Thank you third grandma, thank you third grandpa." Lin Mo sincerely thanked, and Lin Shu followed suit and thanked.
The third grandma looked at Lin Shu's stern face with a chubby face, and couldn't help touching it again and again, without mentioning money. Lin Mo glanced at Lin Changqing who was standing next to her, where the old god was standing, and silently gave the little old man a thumbs up.
Qingtong Village is not far from the town, and it takes more than ten minutes to get there by bicycle. Regardless of Lin Changqing's age, his legs and feet are very agile, and he is no slower than Lin Mo on his bicycle, and he arrived in the town very quickly. But when you get to the town, it's not so fast to withdraw money. These days, for credit unions in townships, 20,000 yuan is definitely not a small sum of money. If Lin Changqing hadn't been friends with the president of the credit union, he wouldn't have gotten any money today.
After receiving the money, Lin Changqing counted and counted, and after confirming that there was no problem, he carefully put the wallet on his body with a handkerchief, and before walking out of the credit union, he did not forget to look left and right to see if anyone noticed him. He promised to lend the money to Lin Mo's family, but Lin Mo is only fifteen years old after all, even if his face has been replaced by an adult, he is still a half-child in his eyes. No matter what kind of consideration he has, he cannot afford the money Give it to Lin Mo.
Lin Changqing promised to lend money to Lin Mo, and took out all the money. Lin Mo felt a little relieved. What he was worried about now was how his father and grandma would react when they knew that Wang Yanyan took the money and ran away with someone.
The asphalt road was built from the town to the city, and the speed of cycling was faster. Half an hour later, Lin Mo saw the building of the city hospital. Lin Mo smelled the smell of disinfectant water escaping from the hospital from a distance, and thought that he would see his father and grandma in his memory who had passed away for more than ten years in a while, and his heart was both excited and inexplicable panic. Different from other people's closeness to hometown, Lin Mo is even more afraid that what he sees in front of him is just an absurd dream, and with a light poke, everything will disappear into nothingness.
