Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 86

The Mid-Autumn Festival was the day when the whole family was reunited. It was rare for Lin Jinglan to leave school early and drive to Zhou Hui's house.When the doorbell rang, a middle-aged man opened the door. Although his appearance was plain and his face was not young, his temperament made him look very comfortable.

"Uncle Yang," Lin Jinglan greeted naturally, put on slippers and walked into the house, "My mother hasn't come back from the company yet?"

Uncle Yang shook his head with a smile, a little helpless in his smile, "You two are really, one is more desperate than the other, you forget it, it is the time when you are young and hardworking, but your mother should pay attention to her body at this age."

Lin Jinglan agreed with a smile, "That's right, you always remind my mother that the body is the most important thing. Uncle Yang, I'll go to the kitchen to see Hong Ze first." The sound of pots and pans clashing was heard from the kitchen.

Uncle Yang said, "So is Hong Ze. I said I would help him, but he just refused and pushed me out of the kitchen."

Lin Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, thinking in her heart that Hong Ze might not be at ease with your knife skills and craftsmanship. When she really wanted to turn around and go to the kitchen, Zhou Hui came in from the door and said with a smile, "I heard you just said my Bad words. Why am I changing my mind about my body at this age..." Zhou Hui raised his eyebrows and looked at Uncle Yang, "Am I already old at my age?"

Uncle Yang quickly took the bag from Zhou Hui and hung it on the wall, "You are not old at all, you are not old at all."

Zhou Hui took off her ten-centimeter high-heeled shoes at the door, put on slippers, breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the room, and sank herself on the sofa.Usually at this time, Yang Hai would fetch a basin of hot water for Zhou Hui to soak her feet, and then give her a massage, but today Lin Jinglan and Hong Ze were both present, so it was naturally inconvenient.Yang Hai couldn't help saying distressedly, "You can't wear flat shoes."

Zhou Hui glanced at Yang Hai in surprise, "I don't even look at what I do...and flat shoes? Can you wear a white T-shirt and jeans to talk business with people?"

Yang Hai also realized that he had said something stupid, so he just smiled.

Zhou Hui wore a thin white sweater on her upper body, and a long gray wool skirt on her lower body, both of which were very slim and show off her figure.Lin Jinglan glanced at the high heels that Zhou Hui had just taken off and the attire she was wearing now, thinking in her heart that the self ten years ago would never have imagined how Zhou Hui would look like now.

In fact, ten years ago, she had no idea how far she would be able to go ten years later.Looking back now, I am a little bit moved and amazed that the road is full of difficulties, and she has come so far.

Holding a glass of boiled water in his hand, Zhou Hui said to Lin Jinglan and Yang Hai, "You don't have to worry about my health. I have a physical examination every quarter. I am in good health. Besides, I usually pay attention to my diet and exercise every day. I can't compare with my daughter. But Yang Hai, my body is not worse than yours, at least I run longer than you every night."

Yang Hai sighed, "Whether you are in good health or not, that's not how you compare it."

Lin Jinglan glanced at Zhou Hui, and Zhou Hui's figure was indeed in good condition, whether it was the back, arms or legs, they were all trained very tight, the waist was even more slender, and the chest was even bigger.Now Zhou Hui's figure is many times better than when she was young.

Lin Jinglan even had to admit that Zhou Hui is already in her 50s, and her figure may be better than that of her in her 30s.Although exercise is also one of the indispensable links in her daily life, she usually does more aerobic exercise, unlike Zhou Hui, who uses various equipment to train muscle lines very seriously, so as to achieve plastic effect.

On the other hand, Zhou Hui's face was even more delicately made up, while Lin Jinglan's face was just plain.

Zhou Hui has established her own clothing company long ago. It has developed rapidly in recent years and has several brands under it. Zhou Hui has been very busy this year because she has made new breakthroughs in her career. A new brand was established this year, and a fashion magazine was also founded.

Fashion magazines are a relatively new field for Zhou Hui's company, and it will inevitably be more difficult at the beginning.

Zhou Hui and Yang Hai have been married for more than five years. Yang Hai is also an entrepreneur. He is an entrepreneur and came from a rural background. Although he is rich now, he is still quite simple.Lin Jinglan doesn't think this is an advantage, and of course it's not a big disadvantage. After all, it takes at least three generations to change tastes and concepts.It is much better to maintain a "simple" after being developed than to suddenly become an upstart.

But in Zhou Hui's eyes, this point of Yang Hai is very valuable. They all came out of poverty, and they have a common language.

When Zhou Hui remarried back then, Lin Jinglan was asked for her opinion, and of course Lin Jinglan agreed without hesitation, "As long as you like it, Mom, I like whatever you like."

Of course, Lin Jinglan dared to speak like this only after knowing Yang Hai's character, and she believed that Zhou Hui's eyes on people now, after so many years of transformation, Zhou Hui has long been a different person from before.

Lin Jinglan looked at Zhou Hui, only to find that the clothes on Zhou Hui were different from the previous ones. Since Zhou Hui would only wear clothes from her own brand, the answer was obvious, "This is a new brand." clothes?"

Zhou Hui hummed, and Lin Jinglan looked again, "Mum, you can choose some clothes that suit me." Lin Jinglan hardly ever wears other brands of clothes, but she is not like Zhou Hui, who wears clothes of all kinds. Representing the company's image, she just asks Zhou Hui to choose clothes for her every quarter just to save worry and effort, and have them delivered to her.

Zhou Hui's new brand is quite suitable for her taste. It has a "frigid" style, black, white and gray tones, and simple tailoring, which also looks youthful.

In fact, Zhou Hui's new brand's target customer age is set to be people in their 30s. Zhou Hui just relies on her own maintenance, and wearing the new brand of clothes does not appear to be inconsistent at all.

When the whole family came to the table, Hong Ze came out with soup and placed it in the center of the table.Lin Jinglan looked at the delicious dishes on the table, each dish was beautifully presented, and her first reaction was to take out her mobile phone to take pictures.

She laughed at herself, this kind of subconscious reaction rarely appeared nowadays, maybe it was because she was too relaxed today, or maybe it was because the dishes made by Hong Ze were too beautiful.

Zhou Hui said, "Hurry up and eat." Lin Jinglan saw Zhou Hui and Yang Hai both stretched out their chopsticks, so they also stretched out their chopsticks, picked up a crab and started eating.

Zhou Hui and Yang Hai were naturally full of praise for Hong Ze's cooking, "This skill is no worse than Xiao Wang's, and it looks even more beautiful than Xiao Wang's cooking."

The Xiao Wang in Zhou Hui's mouth is the aunt who usually cooks at Zhou Hui's house. She is a few years younger than Zhou Hui. Neither Zhou Hui nor Yang Hai has time to cook.However, every family reunion festival, Zhou Hui will give her aunt a holiday, so if the reunion dinner during the festival is not eaten at a restaurant, Hong Ze will be doing it instead.

Hong Ze and Lin Jinglan also came to Zhou Hui's house to eat quite a few times, so they naturally knew Aunt Wang's cooking skills, "The taste of my dishes is still not as good as Aunt Wang's, so they look pretty." Hong Ze said modestly, but he was telling the truth , although the dishes made by Hong Ze are already very good in taste, they cannot be compared with professional ones after all.

But perhaps because Hong Ze is a photographer by profession, he is almost paranoid about the color matching and shape design of each dish, and even the color matching of all the dishes on the entire table.

Lin Jinglan couldn't help thinking that if Hong Ze had the time to post photos of his dishes 20 years later, he would definitely become a very popular food blogger.After all, this gorgeous dish is not necessarily the most suitable for eating, but it must be the most suitable for taking pictures.

Seeing that Lin Jinglan had been tossing a crab in her hand for a long time and hadn't eaten much, Hong Ze took the crab from her hand and said, "Eat the vegetables first, or it will be cold in a while." He stretched out his hand while talking He fetched eight pieces of crabs, and helped Lin Jinglan pick up the crabs swiftly and gracefully.

"Do you want to dip it in ginger vinegar?" It took only a short while for Hong Ze to push the small plate with the meat in front of Lin Jinglan.

Lin Jinglan shook her head, she never liked the smell of ginger vinegar.Hong Ze nodded, "That's fine. I put a lot of minced ginger in today's soup. You can drink a bowl at the end." Lin Jinglan likes to eat crabs, and usually eats two, but she doesn't like dipping them in ginger vinegar. Ze can only put more ginger in the soup.He reached out to serve Lin Jinglan a bowl of soup, and placed it in front of her.

After dinner, Lin Jinglan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the family sat in the yard chatting and admiring the moon.Lin Jinglan found that Hong Ze seemed to have something on his mind. Although Hong Ze didn't show it clearly, Lin Jinglan really knew him very well after getting along with him for many years.But when Lin Jinglan asked him, he smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Lin Jinglan saw the meaning conveyed in Hong Ze's eyes, "I'll talk to you when I get home." Naturally, Lin Jinglan didn't ask any more questions.

After driving home, Lin Jinglan was sitting on the sofa, and Doudou happily rushed towards Lin Jinglan. Lin Jinglan held it in her arms, stretched out her hand to scratch its chin, and asked Hong Ze, "What's the matter? At Mom's house Can't say yet."

Hong Ze sat beside Lin Jinglan, holding her shoulders, "Mom will know sooner or later, but today is a big holiday, so I don't think it's appropriate to say this. If you didn't see it, I'm going to tell you in two days. "

Lin Jinglan was a little flustered by Hong Ze's cautious attitude, "Something bad?"

Hong Ze held Lin Jinglan tighter, "It's not a good thing...Lin Shan died last night."

Lin Jinglan was shocked at first, but after the shock, she found that her mood was quite calm, "How did you die?"

Hong Ze said, "Cerebral hemorrhage. He drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, and then something went wrong. He was sent to the hospital immediately, but he died when he was sent there. I was notified first today. I thought it was the Mid-Autumn Festival for a family reunion. Festival, no one notified you."

Lin Shan has been drinking a lot these years, and loves to gamble, so his life is extremely poor.Lin Jinglan pays Lin Shan for living expenses every month, but if Lin Shan asks for money, she won't give him a penny.As for Zhou Hui, she would not give Lin Shan a penny. As long as Zhou Hui heard Lin Shan's name, she would feel uncomfortable. The misfortune of the year still left a psychological shadow on her. I would like to be touched by the scars of the year.Therefore, the name Lin Shan will not be mentioned at all.

Lin Shan had just retired, and his own pension plus the money Lin Jinglan sent to him was enough for him to live a well-to-do life, but he had developed the habit of drinking and gambling himself, so he couldn't blame others at all.

"Tell Mom and Uncle Yang tomorrow. The funeral will be handled in the simplest way." Lin Jinglan said to Hong Ze very calmly, and got up to prepare dog food for Doudou.

Hong Ze hugged Lin Jinglan from behind, "That's great, I'm relieved to see that you're not sad."

Lin Jinglan looked at Doudou gobbling it up. They came home a little later than usual today, and Doudou was obviously hungry.Lin Jinglan turned her head, met Hong Ze's gentle eyes, and said with a smile, "Now our family lives so well, there is nothing to be sad about."

With a bang, Lin Jinglan and Hong Ze looked out of the window at the same time, and they didn't know who set off the fireworks so high that they just bloomed in front of the moon.
