Rebirth and Raising a Baby

New Year's Day.

Early in the morning, Lin Ling woke up.

I went to bed early last night and woke up early today.

The village is quiet, probably last night to observe the new year, and went to bed late.

When Lin Ling got up, her waist was a little sore, and her legs and feet were a little weak, but she barely supported it.

No way, whoever made her crazy last night also had a share.

The house was quiet, Lin Ling was too lazy to move, wrapped herself up thickly, and ordered Chu Yi to work.

"Burn some hot water first, then simply eat some noodles in the morning."

On the morning of the first day of the new year, meat is not allowed at home, and even the leftovers from last night have to be kept until noon.

As for why there is such a rule, Lin Ling doesn't know either, anyway, it was Lin Chunhua who specially instructed it yesterday.

It's just a matter of one meal, just do it as you do.

Innocent.

Although it was plain noodles, Chu Yi added two pieces of fried tofu, which enriched the taste and made him feel full after eating.

"Are we going to visit relatives?"

Lin Ling was a little uncertain.

She didn't have many good friends in Lin's Village, and she could count them with a single slap.

Like Aunt Ge, Aunt Eight, the village head's daughter-in-law Wang Qing, Uncle Tietou's family who raise pigs.
It's not because of her charm that these people associate with her, but because of their interests.

Simply because this interest relationship is still very strong, so everyone is very harmonious.

Others are either not friendly, or are hostile.

"Stay at home in the morning, Dabao and Erbao are fine in the old house."

After all, it was the home where he grew up, so Chu Yi was very relieved.

"That's it!"

It was rare for him to sneak away, Lin Ling was happy to stay at home.

I took a stove, burned a few pieces of charcoal, and put two sweet potatoes on it to bake. When the charcoal was burned out, the roasted sweet potatoes would be ready.

"We can't watch the Spring Festival Gala, so let's listen!"

Lin Ling took out a radio from under the coffee table.

The Spring Festival Gala is a big event, so the rebroadcast has already started today, even the radio is playing.

"Okay!"

"Daughter-in-law, you are amazing!"

Chu Yi was so admired that he almost fell to the ground.

Who would have thought that the Spring Festival Gala could be "watched" on the radio!

Lin Ling responded with "hmph" twice.

The two snuggled together, wearing fluffy pajamas and thin blankets, and there was a stove next to them for warmth, listening to the sound of skits on the radio.

The warmth of the room.

It makes people wish that time could stop at this moment forever.

"It's really different when there are no two cubs!"

Chu Yi couldn't tell the difference, but he liked being alone with his wife very much.

Thinking about it carefully, in front of the child, Lin Ling has always been paying attention and keeping a distance from him. It is absolutely impossible for her to snuggle into his arms like this.

Chu Yi lamented in his heart, if he knew earlier, he should not have had a child so early.

He once again regretted that after getting married, he went out to work for several years and only returned twice a year.

Missed too much!
If Lin Ling knew what he was thinking, he would definitely spit on him. If there were no two cubs when he crossed over, Chu Yi would have been thrown away by her 800 years ago.

At noon, when Lin Ling woke up, she realized that she had fallen asleep unknowingly.

Looking up at Chu Yi, the man was also asleep.

His face was flushed from sleeping, not to mention, it was quite contagious and made people want to continue to sleep.

Lin Ling yawned with her mouth open, and looked up at the time.

It's already 11:30.

It's not too early.

It is estimated that someone will come to the door in the afternoon.

Seeing Chu Yi sleeping so soundly, Lin Ling felt sorry for the man, and instead of calling him to get up, he went to the kitchen by himself.

There are quite a lot of ingredients at home. Yesterday Lin Chunhua sent someone to deliver them, saying that they bought them together and gave her some, so that Lin Ling didn't have to buy any more.

The water was cold in winter, so Lin Ling didn't bother to do anything, so he collected some ingredients and put them in the space, then took out two hot dishes and a pot of rice.

One is sweet and sour pork ribs, and the other is Mushu pork, fried carrots and shredded pork with black fungus.

Just replace the inner liner of the rice cooker in the kitchen and put the pot she took out on it.

Lin Ling also put some other things such as seasoning into the space.

Even the cauldron was flushed with water, creating traces.

After such a toss, Lin Ling suddenly felt regretful.

Why do you feel sorry for a man!

Is there any difference between tossing like this and cooking by yourself?
With this bit of anger in his heart, Lin Ling came to the hall angrily carrying the food, and patted Chu Yi's face twice with his cold palm.

"Woke up!"

Chu Yi was in a daze, and didn't notice that his daughter-in-law's mood was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he found something good, and his mood soared.

"Daughter-in-law! I love you so much!"

People of the same age in the village used to say that Lin Ling often ran out, and now the business is doing better than him, so we must find a way to suppress it, otherwise the women will not be obedient. It's all nonsense!

Whose daughter-in-law can have such a thing, she cooks the food by herself, and then calls the man to eat!

You must show it off later, his wife can earn money, cook good food, and is so considerate to him, she is simply the best wife in the village!

Those men who speak ill of his wife must be jealous that he has such a good wife!

Chu Yi realized it, and immediately sent out sweet words again.

Before Lin Ling could get angry, the anger in his heart dissipated invisible, and he felt a little embarrassed and guilty, and became more considerate to Chu Yi.

Lin Ling cooks, and Chu Yi does the dishes.

At this time, Lin Ling felt that he was a good man.

At least it's not like other men in the village, who pay attention to the stinky problems of the male lead and the female lead, and don't help the oil bottle at home when it's down.

After resting for a while, the charcoal also turned off and became cold.

Chu Yi took the tongs and pulled out the sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato, which originally had a little purple skin, has turned black at this moment.

If you are not an experienced person, you will definitely feel that this thing cannot be eaten.

The sweet potatoes are deliciously roasted, all the sugar inside is roasted out, and it becomes like honey, soft and sweet.

Lin Ling ate very satisfied.

With the addition of sweetness, the mood is more and more flying.

It was almost noon.

"Daughter-in-law, we have to prepare, someone will come to visit later!"

"There should be no one there, right?"

Lin Ling has no confidence in her family's popularity in the village.

Chu Yi stared at her with wide eyes, a little surprised.

"Do you have any wrong perception of yourself?"

"You are now the favorite of our village!"

"People who are close to you can go to the county to work. You say this temptation is not big enough?"

"Uncle Tietou's daughter, she just came to your store a few years ago, and she has been working in your store for less than a month. You have also paid her wages and benefits, everyone is jealous!"

Lin Ling laughed.

She really didn't expect this one.

"But there was no one in the morning, I thought there should be no one."

Before the words could finish, there was a knock on the gate.

Someone was calling the door outside.

The couple looked at each other.

While cooking, Lin Ling went out to check the situation outside, so the gate of the courtyard was not closed.

The people who came to visit at this moment tapped on the door to remind them, and walked in straight away.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi who were sitting on the sofa stood up immediately.

Like a primary school student who was caught.

"Lin Ling, here we come!"

"I was worried that you were not at home!"

The first two are Aunt Ge and Aunt Eight.

The two of them were very familiar with her, and they didn't say those useless nonsense. After saying hello, they found a stool and sat down.

Lin Ling's blanket was placed on the soft sofa, and they dared not sit on it.

"Aunt Eight, Aunt Ge, why are you here together?"

Lin Ling was asking two people, and he was indeed looking at the women behind him.

Yes!

A dozen or so women came.

Lin Ling couldn't even recognize people, but only vaguely remembered that when she returned to the village, there were so-and-so among the gossip-watchers.

"I thought it was time for everyone to drop by in the afternoon, so I came over to have a look!"

"I thought you might not be prepared, so I brought you some saltwater peanuts."

Eighth Aunt smiled a bit cautiously, she just got into trouble yesterday, and now she is worried, afraid that Lin Ling will get angry at her.

Putting the bag on the coffee table, it weighs several catties.

The corner of Lin Ling's mouth twitched.

Eighth Aunt was bleeding a lot this time.

Aunt Ge added with a smile: "I brought you some melon seeds."

Women who follow: Mistake!

No wonder Aunt Eight and Aunt Ge were able to hook up with Lin Ling. These two are really insidious and scheming!
When visiting during the Chinese New Year, these things are prepared by the host, who would think of bringing them by themselves! ! !
"Okay, thank you!"

Lin Ling thanked with a smile, but didn't take it to heart.

Although these two things have a lot of weight, they are not expensive.

In terms of the current net worth of Aunt Eight and Aunt Ge, it is a drop in the bucket.

Just having peanuts and melon seeds was not enough, Lin Ling took out two bags of candies and two boxes of chocolates from the coffee table.

"You all sit down!"

Chu Yi moved some red benches.

Yesterday it was expected that there might be visitors at home today, so he went to the ancestral hall to borrow it.

Although there were valuable candies and chocolates on the coffee table, none of the women took them, only the melon seeds and peanuts brought by Aunt Eight and Aunt Ge.

"Young man Chu Yi is really careful!"

Li Cuifeng was a little out of sorts today, and was the first to praise Chu Yi.

The other women were very surprised, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Li Cuifeng is having today.

"My daughter-in-law taught me well!"

Chu Yi didn't take credit at all, and went to sit next to Lin Ling after he finished his work.

"Yes, Lin Ling is really good!"

"Look at Aunt Eight and Aunt Ge who have been working with Lin Ling for a few months, and now they look much better, like real city people."

"Isn't it? You look younger than before!"

Although they didn't understand what Li Cuifeng was doing, it didn't prevent them from making it a topic.

"Don't be lazy, say you are going to work, and now you are just like a rich old lady in the city."

Li Cuifeng also noticed it, and the words she said were a little yin and yang.

Think about how Aunt Eight and Aunt Ge looked like before. At that time, she was the prettiest among the three, but now she has been transferred.

Aunt Ge smiled and said nothing.

Aunt Eight was not convinced, "You know that too, you don't have three eyes, do you?"

Of course Li Cuifeng couldn't admit it, "Otherwise, how could you become so white and fat? How can people who work hard be like this?"

Eighth Aunt shook her head and tail proudly: "It's true!"

"You don't know, we work at Lin Ling's side, the food is good, every meal has meat and vegetables, rice is enough."

"I'm just getting old. The boys in the store have grown a few centimeters this year, and the older girls have also developed their bodies."

Seeing that Aunt Eight was saying everything, Aunt Ge quickly gave her a hand. "Hey, Chu Yi is still here!"

Chu Yi touched his nose, and glanced at his wife's body.

He doesn't care about the big girl or anything, he only cares about the one beside him, not to mention, the daughter-in-law seems to have developed again, and her breasts have grown a lot this year.

Lin Ling pinched him, this dog man, where are you looking!
Chu Yi was in pain, and while everyone was not paying attention, he gnawed on his daughter-in-law's neck.

"It's okay, Chu Yi is not a young man, and besides, he doesn't live with us." Aunt Eight didn't care.

Everyone was attracted by the content of her words.

"Is your food really so good?"

"That's not!"

"I heard that Lin Ling now has three stores? Does she still need someone?"

"Yeah, our big girl may have done it, but the family delayed her"

"Put it down, your big girl is so skinny, what kind of work can you do, our Lanya is better, she has a strong body, this is really capable!"

"My cat egg is also good, he is now going to the field with his father"

The women gradually revealed their intentions.

Lin Ling finally understood why Chu Yi was so determined.

It turned out that he was eyeing her for a job offer here!
No wonder.

These days, if you want to go out from the countryside, you either rely on your marriage to get into an in-law in the city, or you spend money to buy a job, or take an exam to get a job in a factory.
But these three points are quite difficult for ordinary rural people.

As for doing business or something, it is even more impossible.

If you want to do business in the county, it requires cost and craftsmanship. Who would be willing to spend such a sum of money to put all their eggs in one basket?
Therefore, Lin Ling, the only one in the village who can guide people to the county seat, became very important.

Lin Ling waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Aunts, as for me, I will indeed recruit people!"

She has more than three stores, there is also one in Pengcheng, and there will be more next year.

"Next year I want to open a few more stores, and then I will need more people, big girls and young men, uncles and aunts who work hard."

"You can rest assured that I will be the first to think of the people in our village."

These days, there is a lot of population turnover in the city, and hiring people is also a science.

The same village is a natural alliance.

Your whole family is in this area, what kind of temperament and moral character, you don't say clearly, but you know a lot.

Unless something serious happens at home, this kind of person is the most stable after being hired.

Training a person to work is also a cost.

"Really?"

The women were pleasantly surprised.

Aunt Eight was also surprised.

Only Aunt Ge guessed something.

This month, the manager of the new store has changed, and she heard that Lin Ling went to Pengcheng frequently, so she already guessed it.

Now that it has been fully implemented, Lin Ling wants to open the braised meat shop in Pengcheng.

What a bold idea!
"Lin Ling, look, can my Qiuqin be arranged first?"

Li Cuifeng stood up suddenly, and spoke with a troubled expression.

Everyone else looked at her.

One was surprised by her thick skin, and the other wanted to see Lin Ling's attitude.

If Lin Ling and even Li Cuifeng can ignore the past, then those of them who have not offended Lin Ling will be more confident.
