Aim at That Star

Mrs. Zhuang's family and Lin Suizi's family are neighbors.

But their area is different from Tongzilou. The houses are self-built single-family houses with enough space. There are basically three or four rooms in one building, so usually several families live in one.

A family of four like Jiang Shi and Lin Suizi occupies one building, which is not much to count, not to mention that two of them are a pair of three-year-old milk dolls.

The house of Mrs. Zhuang's family was handed down by her ancestors, and her husband had passed it on for several generations. Naturally, there was no brother to compete with him for the family property, so she was assigned an entire house.

Mrs. Zhuang's man works as a workshop worker in a power plant. Mrs. Zhuang has no job at hand, but she has to raise three children, support her in-laws, and support her brother and sister-in-law who used to support her husband's education. The living burden is not too big.

So she thought about it, packed two rooms and came out, earning a little rent every month, which can also ease the financial tension.

When Lin Maizi asked someone to find a place to live, he didn't think much about it, but it was a coincidence that they included the house of Mrs. Zhuang's house.

Later, I introduced it to Lin Maizi. When she heard it, she seemed to be next door to Lin Suizi's house, so she immediately chose this place.

Aunt Zhuang wanted to make this money, so she cleaned up the small utility room built in the yard and rented it to Lin Maizi at a cheap price.

It's not big, it looks like four or five square meters, and it can only fit a bed and a desk. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhuang borrowed a charcoal stove for her, and she can also cook some meals in the yard.

But Lin Maizi didn't want to make trouble, so he simply paid a meal fee and asked Mrs. Zhuang to help burn it.

The money she gave was very kind, and Mrs. Zhuang was naturally overjoyed. Sometimes when she came to look for Lin Suizi, she would always mention her ostentatious cousin.

Yes, the fact that Lin Maizi was Lin Suizi's cousin was "inadvertently" revealed to Mrs. Zhuang by Lin Maizi herself on the first day she moved in.

Sister Zhuang is also strange.

She is Mrs. Jiang's cousin, so why don't she just live at her cousin's house.

Facing her confusion, Lin Maizi only lowered her head slightly, shook her head and sighed, and whispered, "It's not that I didn't ask, my cousin didn't answer... After all, I'm a poor relative from the countryside, maybe it's true It's troublesome..."

Then he wouldn't say more.

Aunt Zhuang only felt even more strange.

You must know that the Jiang family's house is still vacant. Their house is spacious on the top of this alley. In the past, when other relatives and friends came, they all stayed at his house for the night. Last year's New Year's Eve At that time, Jiang Shi's cousin also visited him once.

His cousin, his aunt and his family, also lived in Jiang's house for half a month. He ate and drank their food. He didn't see what Madam Jiang said, and he was quite happy.

When my cousin left, I gave my neighbors a lot of chili sauce and asked them to take care of the children.

It doesn't look like a bad relationship at all.

Moreover, she has also been neighbors with Mrs. Jiang for two years. Mrs. Jiang usually has the best temperament. She is very educated. She never beats or scolds children, nor does she dislike those sloppy people. If nothing else, at least it will never be. A person who dislikes poor relatives?

Lin Maizi's words to sow discord had no effect.

After all, this place is Lin Suizi's base camp. The biggest thing in her life is her high emotional intelligence. After living here for so long, the neighbors are all very good. There may be discord among others. Not many bad words.

But fortunately, she didn't care, she just said something casually, not thinking about what she really wanted to do to Lin Suizi.

But what she didn't expect was that this time, before she did anything, Jiang Shi had a reaction.

The next morning when Lin Maizi moved into Mrs. Zhuang's house, Jiang Shi came to visit Mrs. Zhuang with a bundle of moon cakes.

During the speech, I mentioned a few quarrels between my wife and her mother's cousin when they were young, but I didn't say much, but the two people didn't have a good relationship and didn't want to communicate more. It was already clear to Mrs. Zhuang.

Therefore, eating people is soft and short-handed, and Mrs. Zhuang took the moon cakes sent by Jiang Shi. After listening to his words, she couldn't help but have some opinions on Lin Maizi.

But the house is rented out, and it's not easy to regret it halfway through, and her personal affairs have nothing to do with her temporary landlord, so she didn't show it.

It's just that the young female tenant is no longer so enthusiastic.

I thought it was a young girl, thinking that the education level of the university must be good, and also thinking about whether to be a matchmaker for others.

Unexpectedly, they have been married for so long, and they have never talked about it for two or three days.

This kind of thing is hidden, I really don't know what's hidden.

......

What Mrs. Zhuang thought, Lin Maizi didn't care at all.

Because her own mentality first collapsed completely.

On the third day of coming to the city, Lin Maizi finally entered Lin Suizi's house.

It would be better if she was shameless and insisted on visiting, and it was not because Lin Suizi suddenly took the initiative to invite her to be a guest at home.

It was Lin Xiangxue who came to the city.

Lin Xiangxue came to the city to deliver sour radishes to Lin Suizi.

Her mother, Aunt Lin Maizi, is also the biological mother of Lin Suizi. She is very good at cooking this side dish. Lin Suizi loved it when she was pregnant, even with two children.

In addition, the relationship has been good in the past few years, so her own mother often makes some pickle soup that she is good at and sends the children to the city for this "daughter".

When Lin Xiangxue came this time, it was naturally a big bottle and a small can.

By the way, I went to see Lin Maizi who lives next door.

It was only at this time that Lin Maizi realized that Lin Suizi actually got along so well with her mother and father.

You know, her own mother wouldn't go to great lengths to give her these snacks, but the bottles and jars that Lin Xiangxue brought over included pickled radishes, honey and grapefruit tea, chili noodles, and various kinds of porridge. The sauce I eat can't be more attentive.

She frowned secretly, and finally realized how powerful Lin Suizi was.

She got along so closely with the uncle's family in the county, and the news didn't come back to her hometown at all. Grandma still treats her as a poor little girl who has no father or mother to care about, which is really a good way.

However, thanks to Lin Xiangxue's blessing, that night, Lin Maizi ate dinner at Jiang's house.

It was also the first time that Lin Maizi stepped into the door of her cousin's house.

And this time, the shock that brought her was even greater than when she went to Xu Weidong's house for the first time in her previous life.

She was completely speechless.

Of course, it cannot be said that the house where Fairy Lin Suizi lives is better than the small western-style building she saw when she went to Xu Weidong's house in her previous life.

After all, it was the 1990s in my last life.

And now it's only 77 years.

Haven't waited to open yet.

But it was because of widespread poverty that Lin Suizi was shocked.

What kind of environment does Mrs. Zhuang live in?

Red brick bungalow, two rooms are rented out, the bedroom is separated by a small compartment for the children to live in, the living room is the stove room, the children do their homework by setting up a small wooden table in the yard, it is much cleaner than the countryside of.

But far from the freedom and spaciousness of living in the country.

It's not that she hasn't been to Xu Weidong's team.

They were even taken by Xu Weidong to their commander's house for a meal.

The living conditions are also very good, and there are even automatic water heaters and fireplaces, which are already envied by Lin Maizi.

But the goodness of Lin Suizi's family is another kind of goodness.

To say how well the house is decorated is not necessarily true.

That is, the ordinary red brick cement floor.

But the space is spacious, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a study, a large living room, a small utility room, and a bathroom in the yard, even with a flush toilet and a water heater.

The living room is decorated very warmly, the cloth sofa is big and soft, the cloth on the coffee table is also covered with delicate lace, and the cement floor is covered with a soft board of unknown material, printed with childlike patterns, even It can also be played as a puzzle.

There is a set of tea sets on the coffee table and a plate full of snacks. The snacks are not ordinary melon seeds, peanuts and red dates, but precious snacks such as toffee, sandwich biscuits, and walnut kernels that are only given as gifts. .

Lin Maizi finally knew why Jiang Heran and Jiang Chengyi, the two children, didn't care about the mung bean sorbet they bought that day.

Because she saw that Jiang Chengyi secretly opened the refrigerator at home while his parents were not paying attention, and stole a creamy chocolate ice cream from it.

As soon as he turned his head, he met Jiang Shi's half-smiling gaze.

He lowered his head in sorrow, put the ice cream back in the refrigerator, and was taken back to the room by his father to play puzzles with his sister.

Yes, they also have a refrigerator at home.

There are several electric fans. There are several kettles. There are two cupboards full of bowls.

In other words, it seems that the decoration and furnishings are not unusual, but after thinking about it carefully, I find that an inch of land is an inch of gold.

After eating, Lin Suizi also sorted out a bag of clothes from the room for Lin Xiangxue: "This is Cheng Yi's clothes when he was a child, and he can't wear them now. Isn't your sister-in-law born? You can bring it back to you. My nephew is wearing it, and it's still neat."

Lin Xiangxue turned it out and took a look: "Such a good material is really cheap for her."

She didn't get along well with her sister-in-law, but she still hurts her nephew, so she didn't say anything.

It's just that he flipped through it, and found another package. When he opened it, it turned out to be a watch. His eyes lit up, and he looked up at her.

Lin Suizi glanced at it and curled her lips: "Auntie wrote a letter last time, saying that you are going to get married, and you are missing a watch, which is hard to buy in the county. Ask me to take a look. It happened that Jiangshi went to Shanghai market last month. On a business trip, there was a suitable ladies watch in the department store over there, so I brought one back.”

Lin Xiangxue touched it cherishly, and felt a little embarrassed: "Such a beautiful watch costs a lot of money. Thank you so much, Suizi,"

"Thank you, it's just a little effort, the auntie sent the money ticket, and it's not for you."

That being said, but her mother must have sent a ticket for an ordinary watch, and the piece given by Suizi is not ordinary at first glance, and she must have posted a lot of it herself.

Of course, these Lin Xiangxue just thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out. After all, Lin Maizi was still beside her. If she was dissatisfied, what should Suizi do to help her carry the watch.

Although she has changed a lot about Lin Maizi in the past few years, it is also a cousin relationship.

And Suiko is definitely not comparable.

Not to mention how much Suizi has helped her, in terms of blood, Suizi is still her own sister.

Lin Maizi felt Lin Xiangxue's evasive gaze, clenched his fists, and didn't say a word.

She was very silent throughout dinner tonight, changing the way she was able to speak well when she saw Lin Suizi on the first day she came to the city.

In fact, she was a little dazed.

I heard that Jiang Shi is now the secretary by the mayor's side. He is very important. He is still so young and has a background in the capital. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, he will rise step by step.

Such a big official, even if she was admitted to the best Tsinghua University, can she find a better backer than Jiang Shi after she came out?

Moreover, Lin Suizi was also preparing for the exam. She just took a peek at the study. There were two rows of books in the cabinets, but they were not idle books. They were all textbooks, review materials, and scientific newspapers.

She couldn't help but suffocate, do you have to prepare so many books for the exam?

She went to ask the educated youth who was admitted, and the other party said that as long as she learned the knowledge taught in the textbook, it would be fine.

So she even memorized all the high school texts by heart, and she almost ripped through the book.

...Lin Maizi really doesn't know.

She only read elementary school in her last life, never gave birth to or brought up a child, and except for the few years in elementary school, she had never been exposed to anything related to school.

In this life, too, all the people around me have no culture.

The only two most capable educated youths in the village, one is Jiang Shi, needless to say, the other is an incredible nerd with few words, who only works hard, and is a man. She is a married woman, and it is difficult to contact her often.

In this way, even Lin Xiangxue knows more than her.

But Lin Maizi was reluctant to ask the family.

What should she do if she is afraid that she will arouse their enthusiasm for learning and prepare for the college entrance examination?

Then doesn't she have one more competitor?

......

All evening, Lin Maizi was confused. Lin Xiangxue told her a lot of things, but she didn't hear a word.

When she went to bed at night, she was lying on the bed, listening to the wind outside, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered what Lin Suizi said to her a long time ago,

That was the day Lin Suizi returned home.

She also returned to her mother's house. Before dinner, grandma and grandpa were all talking to Jiang Shi, only she and Lin Suizi were picking vegetables in the vegetable garden.

She opened her mouth to mock Lin Suizi.

Lin Suizi was silent at first, but when she was about to leave at the end, she suddenly smiled at her and said, "Uneducated is uneducated."

She was immediately furious: "What did you say?"

"I said that you are uneducated, unqualified, uneducated, and unwilling. You should also know that from now on I am going to live in the county, and we will never see each other again. I am too lazy to argue with you these days, I'm too lazy to care about you, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't look down on you at all."

In the vegetable garden, Lin Suizi lightly hooked her lips toward her, sneering, yin and yang, and with a hint of pity: "How can the bird bird know the ambition of Honghu? Lin Maizi, we will never be the same."

At that time, she could not understand Lin Suizi's literary talent.

I thought she was just being quick.

But now she understands.
