Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 381 A Good Beginning (1)
Only Lin Erniu had an unnatural expression on his face, especially when he met his daughter-in-law's concerned eyes.

Mrs. Li quickly became concerned, and she didn't ask any questions immediately, she just ordered the maids to serve tea and snacks, and let the three of them, the father and son, warm up first before talking.

After Dalang drank a few sips of hot tea, before Lin Erniu could speak, he first told Mrs. Li about the matter. Er Niu reached out to ask for money.

"Grandma said that the old house is so dilapidated that no one can live in it anymore, and I want Dad to take some money out to build a new house." Da Lang said calmly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li didn't object, and said with a smile: "This is also what it should be. Let's build it. It's not like our family can't afford the money now."

"Grandma also said that if you want to build a house like ours, you need not only to be big, but also to be grand!" Da Lang continued.

At this moment, Mrs. Li was a little dumbfounded after hearing this: "Why do they want such a big house?"

"Grandma said that a son can't live in a big house, but parents live in a dilapidated earthen house." Erlang curled his lips and said.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she didn't make a sound, but quickly raised her head to look at Lin Erniu who had been silent all this time.

"Father, what do you think? Our grandpa and grandma don't just want to live in a big house by themselves. To put it bluntly, how long can the old couple live. It's not clear. They are trying to benefit the uncle's family. ! Why should we spend the hard earned money to give them easy flowers!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Xiaoqiao said.

This time, Mrs. Zhou seems to have made a very reasonable request. As she said, no son lives in a big house in this world, but parents live in a small house. This is not obvious. , Lin Erniu is not filial.

If they hadn't made such an excessive request, maybe Lin Xiaoqiao would not have objected to it because of public opinion and the so-called filial piety.

It is not impossible to build a three-room green brick and tile house for the old couple to live in, but Lin Xiaoqiao would not agree to such a big mouth like theirs.

"Father, when our family opened a shop in the past, how hard my mother and I worked, don't you forget?" Lin Xiaoqiao continued.

After the words fell, Lin Erniu finally had a reaction, and said in a low voice: "But they are elders after all, they are father's parents, how can father be such an unfilial person!"

After hearing Lin Erniu's words, Dalang's face remained unchanged, Erlang looked down at the ground to hide the anger in his eyes, Lin Xiaoxi looked up at his father from time to time, and did not speak.

But Li's lips moved a few times, and he looked at Lin Erniu again, with helplessness and bitterness on his face.

"In order to be filial, is it necessary to satisfy the unreasonable demands of grandparents?" Lin Xiaoqiao said.

Lin Erniu raised his eyelids and glanced at his little girl, then quickly lowered his head, with a look like a child who has done something wrong, and said: "It's not unreasonable for your grandparents to want to live in a big house." requirements."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao curled his lips, didn't say anything, just looked at Da Lang and said, "Brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Da Lang wasn't surprised by his younger sister's questioning. For the past two years, Lin Xiaoqiao had always let the two brothers, intentionally or not, make up their minds about family affairs.

"Our family pays 20 taels of silver to build a house with green bricks and tiles for grandparents! It is right to be filial to grandparents, but we don't want to be stupid and let others get something for nothing! Moreover, the house was built. After that, the house deed and land deed must belong to us, and after a hundred years from grandparents, the house cannot belong to anyone else!" Da Lang said lightly.

Lin Xiaoqiao smiled when he heard this, Da Lang did not disappoint her.

At the same time, the Li family also felt that Dalang's method was completely feasible, so everyone looked at Lin Erniu together, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Lin Erniu naturally felt the eyes of his wife and children betting on him, and after a while, he said with some frustration: "Oh——that's my elder brother after all, so what's the matter with a tug, look at them Living in despair, as a younger brother, I feel uncomfortable, so why are you doing this?"

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, feeling strange in his heart that Lin Erniu still couldn't see clearly some people and things.

"Father, everything our family has now is the reward of our own hard work! Uncle is your elder brother, yes, it is not wrong for you to want to help your elder brother, but, have you thought about it, dad? Are you harming them or helping them! If Uncle and Mrs. Liu are people like our uncle and aunt, no matter how father wants to help them, we have no objection! In addition, Uncle The family has two sons, both of whom are adults. The uncle and Mrs. Liu are both free from illness and pain. If they really want to live a good life, they can rely on their own efforts! For those who want to get something for nothing, and plan to scheme others to enjoy the blessings, Dad thinks, should we help?" Da Lang said every word with seriousness.

After hearing these words, Lin Erniu was silent again, and after a long time, he raised his head, looked at the four brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao and said, "What you said is correct, it's my father's mistake! Just press Dalang's hand." Do as you say! We will pay twenty silver coins. As for your grandparents, let them do whatever they want. Anyway, we have done our duty! I only hope that your uncle can wake up soon, Don't blame us in your heart, you know our painstaking efforts."

Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help smiling when she heard this. Although her father was simple and honest, with soft ears and occasional mistakes, fortunately, he corrected his mistakes and listened to what others said.

Once this matter was discussed and settled, the Li sisters and the two families happily went back to their mother's house in the afternoon...

When they arrived at Li's house, the group still kowtowed to the old couple for New Year's greetings. From the moment they entered the door, Lin Xiaoqiao felt that his grandma, Mrs. Sun, looked exactly like Sun Wanshi. She couldn't hide her smile no matter what.

The same is true of the old man Li and his son. Although the joy in their eyebrows is quite reserved, the expressions of joy and harmony on the faces of the two are obvious.

Fu Geer is now more than two years old, and he looks very cute. He doesn't need to be taught, he knows how to kowtow and ask for red envelopes for New Year greetings.
