Chapter 289 The food at home is delicious!
After two days and two nights of driving, we finally returned to Beijing Railway Station.
Liu Jingfeng had already informed his men that several Crown cars were parked at the entrance of the train station and took them back to Yanziwu Alley.
When the gallery owner saw them coming back, he quickly came over to ask about the situation.
"Boss, how was your harvest this time?" he asked eagerly, "Are there any famous paintings?"
"Lao Li, why do you only think about painting?" Huang Hao joked with his boss.
"Mouse, I'm selling paintings. Why should I care if I don't care about paintings?" The gallery owner rolled his eyes at him.
It can be seen that everyone is in high spirits when they return to the capital.
Except for Wang Jinpeng, who was squatting in front of the store, his face was pale and he wanted to vomit.
But it can be seen that after a long journey, everyone is tired, and taking the train also requires physical strength.
Lin Ran saw that it was getting late, stood up and said, "Everyone, it's getting late, I should go home."
Liu Jingfeng was a little surprised: "Brother Lin, why don't you have a meal together before leaving?"
"That's right, I'm going to book a seat now and give you a huge reception banquet." The gallery owner said, patting his chest.
Lin Ran smiled tactfully: "I appreciate your kindness, but I haven't seen my family for a long time and miss them very much, so I want to go home for dinner today."
In fact, he had another idea for going home for dinner.
Tufuzi and the others must have business secrets to discuss, so it was somewhat inappropriate for him to be present as an outsider.
"Yes." Liu Jingfeng originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but he was a little tired and had to deal with the problems on the books. He touched his chin and said, "It's rare for Brother Lin to have such filial piety, so we won't force others to do anything!"
"Then I'll take my leave first." Just as Lin Ran was about to leave, Liu Jingfeng called out to him.
"Brother Lin, you have a good heart. We have looked for foreign aid before, but they asked us for money as soon as they came back. It's really rare to find someone like you." Liu Jingfeng said with a smile, "However, the money promised to you will definitely be given to you. Let’s talk about it at the party tomorrow night.”
"Okay." Lin Ran clasped his fists in return. Liu Jingfeng did keep his word. If he didn't admit his fault, he would have to think of other ways.
When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, we took a rickshaw and returned to Xialin Village.
……
At the entrance of the village, Widow Wang's people looked a little excited when they saw Lin Ran.
"Lin Ran, why haven't I seen you for so long? I thought you were studying." Widow Wang stood up and greeted him.
Lin Ran originally thought he would hate Widow Wang, but after his rebirth, he also had a new understanding of the tongue-tied woman in front of him.
It's just that his mouth is a bit poisonous, but his heart is still good.
"Aunt Wang, I've been working out of town for a few days." Lin Ran replied with a smile.
"Just come back. Your parents are always talking about you. Go back and see them."
After bidding farewell to Widow Wang, Lin Ran walked towards his home in three steps and two steps at a time.
Now is the time for cooking, and the village is filled with the aroma of cooking smoke, and the door to his house is no exception.
The dilapidated courtyard, the old well, and the bamboo benches look extremely friendly.
Lin Ran wanted to give his family a surprise, so he opened the door to the courtyard and saw Mother Lin holding a washbasin and a pot of vegetables ready to be washed in the courtyard.
When she saw someone walking into the yard, she was stunned for a moment. Then when she saw clearly that it was Lin, she didn't hold the washbasin firmly and dropped it to the ground.
bang.
"Mother..."
Mother Lin didn't bother to pick up the vegetables on the ground. She quickly came to Lin Ran and looked at him. She was relieved when she saw that he was not injured.
"Old Lin, Xiaoran is back!" Mother Lin shouted into the house.
In a blink of an eye, Lin's father appeared at the door of the house.
He took the initiative to take Lin Ran's backpack, as if seeing a guest, and took Lin Ran back home.
Father Lin has been asking Lin Ran about his work experience during this period and whether he has caused trouble to others or encountered any trouble.
Lin Ran also answered them one by one, but he didn't mention the danger of going to the tomb. He just said that they were going to the tomb to inspect.
The meal had already been prepared, but in order to welcome his son, he killed a chicken.
At this moment, Lin Ran discovered something.
"Where's sister?" He didn't see his sister when he came home just now, and thought she went to play at his best friend's house.
It’s almost time to eat now, but there’s no sign of him.
The parents looked at each other, and Father Lin explained: "Wanjun has been resting at home for too long. Your mother and I are enough to handle the farm work at home, so she went to the city to find a job."
"Work?" Lin Ran thought to himself. My sister has no education and her family has no connections in the city. It shouldn't be easy to find a job. "Don't we have more than 1 yuan at home? It's okay to let my sister rest for a while."
"We think so too, but Wanjun can't be idle." Lin's father said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if she finds a job, but she can't really rely on her younger brother to support the family in the future."
"I have no problem raising my sister." Lin Ran said.
"She won't be willing to accept it. Well, that's it for now." Father Lin ended the topic.
Lin Ran also figured it out. His parents and sister were both honest people, and they were not willing to live a life of getting something for nothing.
Only money earned with one's own hands can be used in a practical way.
This is the value of simple people in this era.
Lin Ran no longer struggled with this matter, but said to his parents: "Father, mother, now Xiaoran can make money, just plant some fields to support himself, there is no need to work too hard."
"Where does sister go to work?" Lin Ran asked.
"Actually, the work unit is okay. It's the Xicheng Department Store, or the job introduced by Yang Jianlong." Father Lin replied with a smile.
Being a salesperson in a department store is indeed a good job in this era, at least with a stable income.
Yang Jianlong did him a big favor again, and it seems that he will be nicer to him in the future.
"By the way, Xiaoran, go and call Aunt Wang to have dinner with you. You and your sister are not at home during this time, and Auntie has helped us a lot, both at the construction site and at home." When it was time to start eating, Mother Lin Mentioned something.
After Wang Mazi's incident, Lin Ran also had a new understanding of Widow Wang.
Knowing that she was at the entrance of the village, he quickly ran over and invited her back home.
During the meal, Mother Lin directly gave Lin Ran a chicken drumstick and said distressedly: "Xiaoran has been away from home for half a month and is already tanned. Work is very hard, right?"
"It's not hard." Lin Ran ate the chicken legs made by his mother. There is no such delicious food in five-star hotels.
"Not only have you tanned, but you have also lost weight. Drink more chicken soup to replenish your body." Lin's mother scooped a bowl of soup for Lin Ran without any explanation, just like when she was a child during the New Year.
Widow Wang also helped: "Yes, your Xiaoran looks like an adult now. In the past, he looked like a child who could only study."
Her speech was still as mean as ever, but Lin Ran didn't care anymore and just smiled. After all, she meant no harm.
Maybe I was really a nerd before.
After he was reborn, he realized that he had missed so many things in life!
