Rebirth and Raising a Baby

Lin Ling walked a certain distance and stopped abruptly.

She remembered that she had forgotten one thing.

"What's wrong, daughter-in-law?"

"No."

Lin Ling looked strange, "Didn't we find out that someone was following you last time? I thought I would tell Sister Mei this time, so that she could be careful, but I forgot."

"It shouldn't matter, anyway, we have nothing to do with her."

Chu Yi didn't care about the life and death of Sister Mei and Sister Hua, as long as his wife was not involved.

"OK then."

Lin Ling also felt awkward.

In fact, the conditions proposed by Sister Mei are really not bad, but it is a disadvantage for her.
Hey, if Sister Mei could be honest and promised her a certain bonus or dividend, she might still be tempted.

"Okay, let's go back!"

"Since we have rejected this matter, let's go back and have a good rest, and make your plan to open a store by the way!"

Chu Yi said with a smile.

Compared to working for Sister Mei, of course it would be better for the daughter-in-law to open a shop by herself.

How can it feel the same as being your own boss!
And if he hires others to do the work, he can rest assured outside.

"So looking forward to working for me?"

Lin Ling laughed and joked.

"Yes, yes, your long-term worker can't wait to start working, you have to work hard!"

The couple talked and laughed as they walked.

Before I knew it, I went to the convenience store again.

Lin Ling stopped in her tracks.

"Would you like some milk?"

Since hearing about Sister Li's story last time, every time Lin Ling passed by here, she would buy something casually.

Whether it's drinks or snacks, or some daily necessities.

It's not expensive, and you can use it yourself.

I hope it can help Miss Li.

"Do you drink or should I drink?"

Chu Yi showed a strange face.

It always feels weird to still drink milk at such an age.

"Of course it's you!"

Lin Ling answered without hesitation.

She doesn't drink milk indiscriminately, she doesn't know the dairy products here, and she is pregnant, so it's best not to drink it to be conservative.

"Ok."

The couple entered the convenience store.

Sister Li turned her head and saw someone, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

She is also strange, as long as she is not facing the issue of money, most of the time she is smiling, which makes people feel good.

Once the money is involved, he will put on another vicious face and will not budge.

"Miss Boss, we need to make a phone call."

Lin Ling glanced at the time, it was noon on the school day, Dabao and Erbao should be at home.

"Okay! Go by yourself."

Sister Li greeted with a smile.

After coming here a few times, I got acquainted with it, and found that Lin Ling was very generous, and Sister Li's attitude changed visibly for the better, and the hang-up like the first time stuck in seconds never happened again.

Lin Ling dialed the number skillfully, then picked up the receiver.

After coming here, I also called several times, but unfortunately, I didn't meet Dabao Erbao, only Lin Chunhua was at home.

This time I can only gamble again.

"Hi, it's me, Lin Ling."

"Mother, is Jiaxiu Jiahao at home?"

"Here, wait a minute, I'll call them to go!"

Lin Ling heard Lin Chunhua's voice clearly through the microphone: "Da Bao Er Bao, come quickly, your mother is calling!"

Then there was a shocking sound of crying ghosts and gods running.

"Wow, mom, you finally called!"

Erbao cried and complained of grievances and misses.

Lin Ling hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, mom's baby, mom is just traveling outside, and she'll be back in a while!"

"really?"

"real!"

Lin Ling answered in the affirmative.

Only then did Er Bao restrain his crying, still feel aggrieved in his heart, and reported in a low voice: "Aunt Wang said that you don't want me and my brother, and you don't even want grandma. When you come back, you must beat her for me. She lied." !"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, you are mother's sweetheart, why would mother not want you!"

Lin Ling's output of sweet words.

It was not until Erbao was coaxed that the microphone was handed over to Dabao.

"Jiaxiu, how's your study going recently? Are you and your brother obedient?"

Lin Ling and Dabao speak more formally.

"Well, we are all good, but you and Dad are the ones who are not good, and just ran away from home without saying a word!"

Chu Jiaxiu made serious criticisms.

The roles of parents and children seem to be reversed.

Lin Ling was speechless.

"Well, it's mainly because you are busy. You have to go to school. I was anxious at the time, otherwise the boat would leave."

Lin Ling felt a little guilty in his heart.

She and Chu Yi had discussed with Lin Chunhua several times about going to Hong Kong City, but they did not tell Dabao Erbao.

The reason is to worry that the two brothers will leak the matter if they are not strict with their mouths.

Who would dare to tell a child such an important matter?

Of course, this is also her distrust of her own children, which should be criticized.

If she did it all over again, she would still choose this way.

"Okay, then I forgive you."

Dabao spoke very well, but his tone was still a little low.

"Brother is mother's little baby, you are big baby, be happy, okay?"

"Grandma will take good care of you. If anyone says something that makes you unhappy, you can find grandma, you know?"

"Ok!"

Dabao answered very forcefully.

Lin Ling sighed a little in his heart, the child still couldn't let go, his emotions were too restrained.

"Then you kiss mom?"

Lin Ling wanted to make things difficult for him.

"what!"

Dabao was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "Grandma and brother are still beside me!"

This was said in a very low voice, as if he was covering the microphone.

Lin Ling wanted to laugh when she heard it.

"If you don't want to kiss, then let your younger brother kiss!"

"Ah, no!"

Dabao hesitated for a while, and finally did as Lin Ling said.

"Oh, thank you mommy's big baby for kissing, mommy loves you~"

"Ok!"

Crisp and loud.

It can be heard that Dabao's mood has obviously improved.

Later, Lin Ling chatted with Lin Chunhua for a few more words, and then hung up.

"It's been more than 4 minute."

Chu Yi silently reminded.

If it exceeds 4 minutes, it will be counted as 5 minutes.

Lin Ling took a deep breath.

I didn't feel like saying anything, why did it take so long!
"Ma'am, how much is it?"

Apart from making phone calls, Chu Yi also took two glass cans of fresh milk.

The proprietress knew that the two were rich, so she was not in a hurry at this moment, and patiently fiddled with the abacus.

"Forty for the phone call, twenty cents for a bottle of milk, and thirty cents for a deposit. 41!"

Chu Yi paid the money, took his wife's hand and left.

Sister Li looked at the money, her eyes sparkled.

It's good to be rich!
After making such a long phone call, if it were her instead, I would be so distressed.

I don't know what kind of job this man is doing to be so generous to that big belly woman.
It sounds like the woman also has two sons, who eloped with a man, right?

It’s good to be beautiful, and there are still men who want to have two babies.
Unlike her, the man is dragging along half dead, and the old and the young in the family all rely on her as a woman, and they don't know when they will be relieved!
Sister Li guessed wildly, and sighed faintly.

"Daughter-in-law, I think this milk is okay, why don't you try it when you go back?"

"I heard that milk can supplement calcium, so it's just for you!"

Lin Ling glanced at it. The milk is a big brand in later generations, and the quality should be fine.

"Tomorrow, drink it after heating it."

In the current situation, ultra-high temperature sterilization has not yet appeared, and she is afraid that the bacteria in the milk will exceed the standard.

"Row!"

Chu Yi agreed without hesitation.

The couple went home with their things.

As he walked, Lin Ling felt weird.

The way they go home, it stands to reason that there should be no one at this time.

When she entered the convenience store just now, she heard someone's footsteps behind her, but now there is another
She made a phone call for more than four minutes at the convenience store!
Including time to hang out in it.

At least six 7 minutes.

And this person is still behind? ? ?

While walking, Lin Ling turned around abruptly.

Sure enough, he saw a person behind him.

Saw the opponent's true face.

It's a boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The hair is black and white, which looks very special.

At first, she suspected that she was being overwhelmed, but when the boy saw her, he turned around and ran away.

Like a dog chasing after him, he ran fast and disappeared after a while.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yi turned his head, just in time to see the other party running.

Mouth opened wide, stunned.

"Daughter-in-law, are the old people running so fast now???"

Chu Yi couldn't understand.

Look at this flexible skill, you can go to track and field sports!

Lin Ling was amused.

Cover your mouth and laugh.

"hahahahahahahahaha!"

"what are you thinking!"

"Not the old man."

"It's a young man of seventeen or eighteen."

Chu Yi was puzzled and scratched the back of his head.

"Didn't you say that an old man was following us last time?"

Lin Ling got stuck.

Oh really.

The clown is me!
"Well, I didn't see his face at the time, I saw it just now, so I'm sure!"

Chu Yi: "It's strange, why is he following us?"

At such a young age, he shouldn't be sister Mei's opponent, right?
And too timid.

Run as soon as you are spotted.

I don't know how to say a few harsh words.

"Could it be that he saw us entering the restaurant and thought we were looking for a job, and then he wanted to look for it too?"

Lin Ling guessed wildly.

"He didn't know we were going to open a shop!"

Lin Ling disagreed with such speculation.

"Okay, everyone has run away anyway, let's go back!"

I was worried about getting involved in some kind of struggle.

As a result, seeing this young man's performance, Lin Ling suddenly relaxed.

The person sent here is so weak, and the other party should not be much smarter, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Ok!"

So far.

Following this incident, the haze brought to the two of them completely dissipated.

when we got home.

The building was empty.

Just like the day I first arrived, none of the neighbors seemed to come back.

The landlady and the dwarf were in the yard by the door.

The proprietress picked and washed the vegetables, while the short boy helped shake the well.

"You are back!"

Seeing the two of them, the proprietress immediately smiled enthusiastically.

Lin Ling nodded, a little at a loss.

"I heard that Xiao Lin has found a job? Is he working in a restaurant?"

The proprietress looked at her expectantly.

Lin Ling was embarrassed.

Bite the bullet and nod.

Really, how could I forget it!

I told this about it before, but now it doesn't work out, so I'm embarrassed!

"Then look, can our shorty follow along and be an errand runner?"

The proprietress stopped washing the dishes, wiped her hands on the clothes, and grabbed the dwarf and faced Lin Ling.

A posture of selling goods.

"Look at our short boy, although he is young, he has long arms and legs, he can run errands very quickly, and he is also diligent and quick-talking."

"It doesn't need much money, just a few dozen yuan a month, do you think it will work?"

After speaking, both mother and son waited for Lin Ling's reply with their eyes wide open.

Lin Ling silently clenched her hands into fists.

This is too embarrassing! ! !

Originally, I just wanted to fool the past, but I didn't expect the proprietress to make such a request.

This is very difficult to end.

"Miss Boss, here's the thing, I didn't go to work in the restaurant."

"what?"

The proprietress turned pale with fright, and was more anxious than she lost her job. She stood up and grabbed Lin Ling's hand, and asked, "How could it be? Isn't everything agreed?"

"Did the boss go back on his word?"

"How can it be like this? It's all agreed. Isn't this a joke!"

"I'll help you find him. Don't look down on me, but I still have some contacts here."

Seeing that the proprietress was filled with righteous indignation, she wanted to help her vent her anger.

Lin Ling became more and more guilty.

"No."

Seeing that the proprietress looked like she was looking for someone to fight, Lin Ling could only tell the truth.

"Sister Mei, it's not that the boss is going back on his word!"

"it's me."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, not wanting to see the proprietress' reaction any more.

"what?"

The proprietress looked stunned and couldn't believe what she heard.

"Why not?"

"Isn't it decent to work in a restaurant?"

"And you are a pregnant woman now, someone wants you to work, you should be grateful!"

The way the proprietress looked at Lin Ling changed.

Don't want such a good job, what kind of job do you want?
If anyone in the building can find such a decent job, why not set up a table to please everyone?

“Mainly the wages did not meet my expectations.”

"Then I thought, I'm pregnant, I can't do a lot of work, so I won't bother my boss."

Lin Ling spoke in a more tactful manner.

Chu Yi also came to his senses, and helped to explain: "Ma'am, you also said that my daughter-in-law is pregnant now, and I don't want her to work so hard in the restaurant. I want her to find an easier job."

"I'll find other things to do later, lady boss, you don't have to worry about me."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ling hurriedly dragged Chu Yi away.

Go upstairs and close the door.

The couple heaved a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect the proprietress' reaction to be so big, it scared me!"

Chu Yi muttered.

Lin Ling strongly agreed, and echoed: "That's right, I didn't expect that she actually wanted me to take the short boy to the restaurant to do odd jobs."

Shorty is only seven or eight years old, so tiny.

This is not child labor anymore, it is child abuse.

of course.

Such things are common in poor families.

Even if there is no place to take them in, they will find various handicrafts after school, or go out to pick up cardboard cans and sell them for money, which is a little income, which can subsidize their families.

"By the way, why hasn't the shorty gone to school yet?"

Lin Ling suddenly thought of this question.

The two looked at each other.
