Rebirth Seven Zeros

Chapter 133
Lin Minrou helped bring the last dish to the table. This lunch was very sumptuous, and the whole family enjoyed it happily.

The next morning, Miao Fengju tidied up at home, pasted window grilles, and cleaned. There were still red lanterns hanging in the yard, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year was gradually revealed.

Early in the morning, Ning Zhijian put special products and gifts in the basket of his bicycle and pushed them out, preparing the family of three to return to Lin Minrou's natal home.

Xiao Xuxu was wrapped up like a fat doll, looking pleasing to the eye.

Ning Shoude was at the door, smoking a dry cigarette, and said, "Third brother, come back early and be careful on the road."

"Dad, I got it." Ning Zhijian got on his bicycle and rode out after Lin Minrou sat down.

It's been a long time since I rode a bike. When I first went up, the bike was wobbly, but I quickly found a sense of balance and rode with ease.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and every household is very lively. Many family members are basking in the sun in their yards, kneading sunflower seeds, eating peanuts and chatting.

It's not far from Lin Minrou's natal village, it's about ten minutes away, the wind is cold and windy along the way, the small trees on the side of the road are bare, looking from a distance, it looks like winter's depression.

Many small trees were tied with red bags, which seemed to have a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

Xiao Xuxu was tightly wrapped, but he was curious, and would poke his head out from time to time to look around, his eyes were round and wide open, very cute.

On the way, Ning Zhijian was overjoyed when he saw the second child's family of three coming towards him. He quickly stopped his bicycle and waved: "Second brother."

Ning Youzhi kept his face tense all the way, without a smile on his face, walking with his head down, talking to Zheng Guiling.

Now he heard Ning Zhijian calling him, thinking he heard it wrong.

After being tugged at his sleeve by his wife, he looked up and saw that it was Ning Zhijian's family of three.

This third brother was still as he remembered him, tall and straight. He had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time in the army, which made his skin dark and wild, but not rough.

The winter sun shone through the bare branches, covering them with a layer of golden light.

He has a full forehead, a resolute face, and deep eyes.

Wearing a thin cotton coat and short hair, he looked very energetic.

Look at Lin Minrou wearing a beige long windbreaker, a white scarf around her, and her jet-black hair hanging down her shoulders.

She wears leather shoes with heels and a ponytail. She has a fair complexion and curved eyebrows. Compared with the previous two years, she is more mature, more beautiful, and more feminine.

She was holding a white and tender baby in her arms, wrapped in a blanket, revealing a white and tender face, the facial features vaguely had the shadow of the couple.

Ning Youzhi stepped forward and asked, "This is my little nephew, he's already this big, and he looks really good."

This is the most beautiful little doll he has ever seen. Compared with the two-year-old bean sprouts in his hand, the difference is not only sporadic.

The two brothers are so different, and the two children are also so different.

Ning Youzhi felt guilty and inferior.

"Yeah, Duoduo is already this old, maybe over two years old."

Ning Zhijian took a look, hiding behind the second sister-in-law, bean sprouts with a timid expression, took out a handful of candy from his pocket and gave it to him: "Come on, Duoduo, this is the candy from the third uncle, take it."

It was only then that Duoduo showed the child's shy and innocent expression. Seeing his parents nodding, he stretched out his hand to take it.

Lin Minrou looked at Gao Yuanhong with Duoduo's cheeks and the shabby clothes all over her body, and felt mixed emotions in her heart. This second brother's family is too miserable.

If they were honest and responsible, the jerky factory would not have abandoned them back then.

"It's really a rare visitor. We only see each other once every two years." Zheng Guiling glanced at the family of three, and said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang.

In just two years, she has aged a lot, and seeing Lin Minrou dressed in such a foreign style and getting more and more beautiful, she really makes her jealous.

Lin Minrou was also shocked to see that she had aged so much, but when she heard her tone, it was still the same as before, small-minded, unkind, and even suppressed the sympathy in her heart instantly.

This day is chosen by oneself, if one works hard, even if one cannot get rich, one will still have a stable meal to eat.

"Second sister-in-law, long time no see, Duoduo is so old, this time the army is on vacation, let's come back and have a look."

Lin Min judo.

"Look, you guys are living a good life. You are all brothers from your own family, and I don't see you helping me. So many gifts, are they all referred to your natal family?"

As Zheng Guiling said, she walked over and looked through the contents of the cart basket. There were gifts, wine boxes, and tea leaves.

It's really respectable to carry so many things to her natal family, unlike Ning Youzhi who carried a few catties of pork and dozens of eggs, which was perfunctory.

They are also two brothers, the difference is not so big.

In the final analysis, Zheng Guiling blamed Ning Zhijian for not being able to get rich. If they hadn't stood by and watched, their second child's family wouldn't be so down and out.

If they were willing to stretch out their hands, they would not be so poor.

Lin Minrou could see the mischievousness in their hearts, and she didn't have a good tone for people who didn't work hard, only narrow-minded, and shifted the responsibility to others.

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, it's rare to come back. Naturally, I have to go back to my mother's house. It's not good to go empty-handed. It's cold on the road, so don't delay. Parents are still waiting for you at home?"

"Okay, then you all be careful, come back and talk." Ning Youzhi was like a dead eggplant, listless.

Seeing what Zheng Guiling wanted to say, she hurriedly took the child with one hand and dragged her away with the other.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law are still the same." Ning Zhijian looked at Lin Minrou and said, and rearranged the messy gift boxes in the basket.

Lin Minrou sat in the back, wrapped his arm around his waist, and hugged the child tightly with the other. Facing the cold wind, looking at the receding scenery on both sides, she sighed:
"Yes, as always, the second sister-in-law clearly blamed us just now. I don't think about how much they did in the past. It is difficult to make money, but as long as you have the heart, you can live a prosperous life today."

The two chatted for a few words, then changed the subject. Soon, the bicycle entered the village, and many villagers waved hello on the road.

Before they got out of the car, Li Feng, who was busy killing chickens at the door, watched the family coming by bicycle from afar.

Joyful in his heart, he hurriedly took the chicken on hand into the house, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Zhijian, Minrou, you are here."

Lin Zhengzhong, who was in the house, heard the commotion outside, and hurried out to greet him. He saw his daughter, son-in-law and little nephew all coming.

"Dad, Mom." Lin Minrou called out affectionately.

No matter how old I am, when I get home, I feel warm and call my dad and mom intimately. This feeling is still the same as when I was a child.

"Dad, Mom." After Ning Zhijian stopped his bicycle, he came over with several bags of things.

"Why did you bring so many things here? This house has them all." Lin Zhengzhong said.

"Yeah, there's also wine and tea, your dad likes it, but it's expensive." Li Feng followed suit.

"Haven't you been back in two years? It should be." Lin Minrou smiled, and said, "Except for the special products I picked, Zhijian picked the wine and tea on purpose."

"These two children have filial piety, come here, come in quickly, don't freeze." Li Feng joyfully went to hug his nephew, while Lin Zhengzhong took the gift and carried it to the house.

Lin Chengguo and Ning Peiling, who came down from the second floor, were pleasantly surprised and rushed to get two cups of hot tea: "Come, drink some hot water, it's cold outside."

Holding the hot tea, Lin Minrou's hands immediately warmed up. She looked at the spacious and bright room, which was very well-decorated.

The red happy letter in the house was pasted by my brother when he got married, and the color is still bright now, just like their days are prosperous.

"The layout of the house is quite good. The telephone and TV are all complete." Lin Minrou smiled.

Ning Peiling couldn't stop her joy from brows: "Yeah, it's not thanks to you. If it wasn't for you, how could we live in a big house and use TV?"

"Sister-in-law is flattering me too much. This is all earned by my own hard work. When the meat jerky factory becomes bigger, we can buy more furniture, and life will get better and better."

"Yeah, it's getting better and better, and there is hope for this day." Lin Zhengzhong said ambitiously.

He is confident that he will open up the provincial capital market in the past few years. As for the whole country, he dare not think about it for the time being, but after five years or ten years, everything is possible.

Li Feng cut up a plate of fruit, and also grabbed a handful of candy snacks: "Come on, eat something, you chat first, I'll go make lunch."

Lin Zhengzhong smiled and said, "Then I'll help light the fire."

In the living room, several young people were chatting about their plans for the future, and they had a lot of topics to talk about.

The kitchen was also very busy, Li Feng was chopping vegetables neatly, Lin Zhengzhong was busy lighting the fire, and took care of the two stoves.

One bite for cooking and one bite for cooking.

Vegetables were being stir-fried in the pot, and chicken soup was simmering on the stove next to it. The kitchen was full of aromas, and the food was served on the table. The family ate happily.

This was the happiest year for the Lin family. The daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, and Lin Minrou, who had been away for two years, also brought her son-in-law and nephew to celebrate the new year.

On New Year's Eve, the firecrackers in and outside the village rang all day long. When Ning Zhijian's family of three rode back by bike, they walked back on red firecracker paper.

When they got home, they were greeted with a steaming New Year's Eve dinner.

Lin Minrou looked at a table of delicious dishes, including chicken, duck and fish, ten dishes in total, implying perfection.

Just eating big fish and meat for the past two days, Lin Minrou felt that she had gained several catties, and even with enough milk, Xiao Xuxu had also grown a lot.

"Hurry up, don't stand there, come over to eat." Ning Shoude laughed.

While setting the chopsticks, Zheng Guiling murmured in her heart, this youngest family is really lazy, they come only after the New Year's Eve dinner is ready, but parents keep nagging, and ask Ning Youzhi to look at the door from time to time, this partiality is too strong A little bit.

"It's so rich." Ning Zhijian first opened the stool, let Lin Minrou sit down, and then brought Xiao Xuxu in her arms to facilitate her eating.
