Chapter 88
When the time came, Lin's mother went to the nearby Sanqing temple to worship Bodhisattvas and gave up some sesame oil money. Then he cleaned up the house and let old Liu tou drive the carriage to Tonghua lane with his sister-in-law.
When she arrived at the house, Mrs. Lin found that the house was clean and tidy inside and outside, and that some dilapidated places had been repaired by craftsmen. The weeds and dead trees are clean. Leisurely went to the flower market and bought a lot of new rose, peony and other trees, as well as a few pots of Begonia with flowers, which were placed at the door of the main room and in each bedroom, making the room bright.
Waiting for leisurely to lead her into her own room, Lin Mu a look at these furnishings, immediately tut tut voice, "I remember the upper family did not leave so much furniture, furnishings ah? Are these new additions? How much will it cost? "
Leisurely said with a smile, "it didn't cost much money, only a few dollars for the furniture. The curtains and the paving were all gifts from my wife and several young ladies." Finish saying, bring the original gift list to Lin Mu to see.
Lin's mother said with some doubts, "Mrs. Shen and some young ladies are too polite, aren't they?" Leisurely said, "when I went to the mansion last time, I just helped my wife a lot. She thought about my feelings in her heart, so she sent these things here."
"What is it? It won't do you any harm, will it? " Lin Mu asked with some worry. Leisurely smile "mother think where, how can such a thing, but is to help his wife found out a thief.". It's just that I, an outsider, can see things a little more clearly than my wife. "
Lin's mother just nodded, "it's just that. It's not easy to pick you up. I don't want you to get involved in those big family disputes any more. Although our family is a little poor, as long as we all work together, we can live on. You must take care of yourself. " Leisurely looking at the mother's eyes, solemnly nodded, "yes, the daughter has written down, mother rest assured."
When he heard that mother Lin was coming, Xiao Shitou told him that Mr. Li wanted to come and greet mother Lin. the young master had been waiting in the corridor with him. Lin's mother straightened her clothes and said, "please invite him in." Leisurely to avoid, Lin mother said, "since your brother's good classmate, you see no harm, I'm here!"
After a while, Li Wenbo came with Enron. Because in the capital, Lin Mu and leisurely wear more gorgeous clothes than when they were in Linjia village.
Lin's mother was not bad at all. In the past year, the whole family was in a good mood for reunion and beauty. Her family had added a lot of income. She bought a house and did all the rough work by her servants. She was also leisurely and often took some tonics. Therefore, her face was ruddy and glossy. She looked several years younger than before.
After Li Wenbo invited an, he felt a little uneasy to see that the image of Lin's mother was quite different from that of the farmer's wife in the past. At this time, I heard Lin's mother say, "this is your brother's classmate friend. He used to come to our house to play. He is two years older than you. Call him" Shixiong. " Then, accompanied by a gust of fragrance, the fragrance was as elegant as orchid and musk deer, and a pleasant female voice sounded in Li Wenbo's ear: "I've met my elder brother." Li Wenbo hastened to reply, "girl, I'm so polite." He didn't dare to look up at others. He only noticed the soft silk hem with blue lotus embroidery and plum blossom pattern and the moon white flowered skirt.
At this time, the willow leaves brought tea. Li Wenbo took a sip of tea to suppress his manic heartbeat. Lin's mother knew that he was a honest man, so she asked her how her mother was, how her family was, and so on.
While dealing with Lin's mother, Li Wenbo listened to Enron's sister talking to him. His sister asked, "I don't have many days. I think you are working hard recently, but you should also pay attention to your health. Even if you are still young, it doesn't matter how many times you pass the examination. Don't push yourself too hard. Now it's time for spring flowers to bloom. If you are bored at home, just go out and have a look around. It's also wonderful to just walk around our house. You haven't been out since you've been here. " Tone is not slow, whispered, and no one advised his brother to study hard, now when? When I think of my mother, when I was young, I would be scolded as long as I was a little lax in my study. Mother, always makes him feel depressed. Therefore, after taking the examination of Bailang academy, he did not want to go back. Every time I go back, I take the money and leave in a hurry. At this time, after listening to leisurely's words, Lin's mother said with a smile, "your sister is right. Don't push yourself too hard. Just now your sister said that she would go shopping tomorrow. I'm not sure if she goes by herself. Why don't you accompany your sister? "
Enron nodded, "it's just that I've been reading a little boring these two days. In that case, I'll go with my sister tomorrow." When Li Wenbo saw that the family was chatting speculatively, he felt that he was like a redundant person here, so he left first.
After he left, leisurely then discussed with his mother and brother about giving gifts to his neighbors. As the saying goes, "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor." if you live in a same alley in the future, if you look up but don't look down, you can't get along well. Things don't depend on whether they are valuable or not, just two boxes of snacks, but at least a gesture of wanting to make friends. It's not difficult. Liu Ye is very familiar with this area. She knows that there is a time-honored pastry shop not far from Wenhua street. There are two or two snack boxes in it. She is very famous in this area. It's very respectable to visit relatives and friends. So leisurely decided to take a look in person.
The next morning, before dinner, the sister and brother put on their clothes and rode to the most prosperous Zhengyang Street nearby. After getting on the bus, Enron murmured, "sister, I'm hungry. You won't let us eat before we leave."
Leisurely said, "don't worry, I can't starve you. Elder sister, I'll treat you to delicious food. What's more, the porridge pot in our family is too small for three or four people to eat. If there are too many people, it's not enough. Let's go out to eat and save Mrs. Liu a lot of work. After dinner, I want to remember to buy a pot first. " Enron nodded, "why didn't you buy a bigger pot last time?"
Fangcao said with a smile, "young master, I don't know. The guys in the kitchen haven't had time to buy it. The pots we use now are all brought from the old house. The one who cooks porridge is still the casserole used by the young lady to make soup“ I see. Ah, these days I only focus on my studies. My mother and sister are responsible for everything at home. It's really hard for my sister. Please accept my younger brother's respect. "
"Well, who let me be your sister? If I have a daughter-in-law, I can still remember your sister a little." Leisurely said jokingly. "That's natural," Enron said with a smile
While talking, the carriage stopped. The grass lifted the curtain and said, "Miss, here we are."
