Rebirth and Raising a Baby

half a month later.

The renovation work of the store is almost over.

The original decoration was removed first, the walls were repainted, and the ceiling was also repainted.

According to Lin Ling's wishes, the walls were painted a little green and the floor was tiled.

It looks different overall.

Additional water and electricity were connected.

Because it was added later, it looks a bit abrupt.

It is also a helpless solution.

Combined with the design floor plan of the store, find a way to hide the wire and tube without affecting the look and feel of the store.

There is a transparent glass door at the door.

Of all the materials, this door is the most expensive, costing more than 1000.

There is no way, things are rare and expensive, especially this is a large piece of glass, which is said to be required by some big hotels before.

In fact, there are still some minor flaws, so the price is discounted.

In this way, the investment has reached more than three thousand.

Ah Wen worked with him every day, and he was dumbfounded when he saw it, and felt that his whole world had been refreshed.

It is really amazing that the broken and dirty facade can be turned into the beautiful one through their hands and hard work.

The shock may be too great.

Awen has been very silent recently.

After finishing his work every day, he went back to the building, shut himself in the room after eating, and silently looked at the tree in the backyard.

He didn't know what he was thinking either.

Maybe it's low self-esteem?
He is very envious of Brother Chu, who is so confident, talented, and has a wife and children. Now that his relatives are willing to support him, it will definitely be the same in the future.

But what about yourself?
Where is his way out?

Like the other guys in the building?

When I was young, I worked hard, saved some money for my wife, married a daughter-in-law, and the couple lived a poor life with their children.

There seems to be nothing wrong with such a day.

I just suddenly felt that repeating such a day, such a fate, was somewhat hopeless.

I don't know the meaning of living anymore.

"Awen?"

The door was knocked.

Awen paused for a moment, and the whole person was separated from his thoughts in an instant, and his expression was still in a trance.

With a click, the door opened.

"Sister Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Ling turned her head to look into her room, and said, "I bought a watermelon today, it's a bit big and I can't finish it, so I'll share some with you, and give me a plate."

Awen was sluggish for a few seconds before he could react.

He let out an "oh", turned around and went to the house to get the plate.

"wait for me!"

After his hands were empty, Ah Wen realized that he seemed a little impolite?
Sister Lin opened her mouth, but he didn't even refuse.
"Sister Lin, if there are not many, you can..."

Awen followed, and then saw the watermelon bigger than his head.

Bigger than his belly.

About ten catties!
I don't know where it came from.

"Sister Lin, you are not being cheated, are you?"

"How can there be such a big watermelon, it must be winter melon!"

Awen pointed at the melon and said vowedly.

Chu Yi lowered his head and glanced, wondering, "Is the pattern correct?"

He doesn't know how to grow watermelons, but he still knows what a watermelon looks like.

Ah Wen quickly shook his head, and persuaded earnestly: "Brother Chu, watermelons are not this big, they must be winter melons!"

"As for the texture, maybe someone else painted it."

He was so sure that Chu Yi was fooled.

Lin Ling watched the two quarreling, and silently suppressed a smile.

"You think this is winter melon?"

"Definitely is!"

Awen blurted out, very determined.

Chu Yi looked confused.

According to experience, the daughter-in-law will definitely not lie to herself!

He touched it with his hands, and the skin of the watermelon was very smooth, as if it had been painted with paint.
"I still think it's a watermelon!"

Take a gamble.

If you believe in his experience, you also believe in your daughter-in-law!
"I think it's winter melon!"

Awen said solemnly.

Lin Ling's smile was almost uncontrollable.

"Why don't you make a bet, what do you bet on?"

Chu Yi was still thinking.

Ah Wen thought for a while, "If I lose, Brother Chu won't have to pay me for the work I've done for half a month!"

"Tsk!"

Chu Yi clicked his tongue.

"Awen, I didn't realize that you are quite a gambler!"

He promised Ah Wen that his salary would be 20 yuan a day.

After working for half a month, the total amount was 300 yuan.

This is not a small amount of income, enough for Ah Wen's rent for three months.

"After all, I don't have anything else."

Awen scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"And you, what are you betting on?"

Lin Ling glared at Chu Yi, Ah Wen had already said it, but he still didn't say it!

"Awen, gambling is boring!"

"Gambling is bad!"

"How about this, if whoever loses, he will be responsible for helping the other party to throw out the garbage for a month, how about it?"

"I can do it, listen to Brother Chu!"

Awen nodded quickly.

In fact, he had done the calculations just now, and he was a little bit reluctant in his heart, but he said everything, and he didn't expect Brother Chu to say that.

Gambling is really bad.

In the past, Lai Lao San lost all his wife because he was taken to gamble, and he has been single until now.

Awen didn't want to be like him.

He imagined that like Brother Chu, he would be able to support his family in the future, with a wife and children.

"sure?"

Lin Ling finally couldn't hold back her smile.

Both of them are a little strange.

"Sister Lin, do you know the answer?"

Awen was puzzled.

"My daughter-in-law must think it's a watermelon, otherwise why would she buy it?"

Chu Yi took it for granted.

Awen was taken aback for a moment.

It seems to be oh.

He didn't care too much, and even urged: "Hurry up and cut it, I can't wait to know the result!"

He must win!
"Brother Chu, this time it's a good deal for you. I don't eat or drink in my room. I usually don't have any trash to throw away!"

"Why don't you change your bet now before it's too late!" Lin Ling reminded kindly.

Chu Yi also nodded.

Arwen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't be able to think of any bets for a while."

"What if you win?"

Chu Yi encouraged him.

"Think about it, there are not many opportunities like this!"

It made Awen hesitate a bit.

"Forget it, don't."

"Hurry up!"

Lin Ling sighed.

This watermelon was taken out by her from space, and Ah Wen was destined to lose.

"Then I'll kill you!"

After finishing speaking, the knife slashed on the watermelon rind.

With a "boom", the watermelon cracked a crack.

This melon is fully ripe.

Lin Ling didn't care, and continued to cut with the knife.

A large watermelon, split in half.

It was flushed red, like the shy flush of a young girl.

Like the red sun rising in the morning.

The results are already obvious.

Arwen wrinkled his nose, a little in disbelief.

"Could it be that they injected the dye?"

"Now some people outside are very heartless, don't be fooled!"

He continued to think about various reasons without giving up.

Lin Ling looked at him lovingly.

Proceed to cut the watermelon.

Lots of juice.

After only one cut, a lot of juice leaked out of the cutting board.

Lin Ling cut it into a fan shape, and placed the watermelon on the table tooth by tooth.

"Eat it!"

"Try it and you'll know!"

Awen was destined to lose.

Both Ah Wen and Chu Yi picked up the watermelon and took a bite carefully.

The moment the juice entered his mouth, Ah Wen suddenly widened his eyes.

sweet!
So juicy!

The feeling of bursting pulp!
Ah Wen's brain was muddled at the moment, and he couldn't think of what to do.

When he woke up, he had already gnawed a whole tooth of watermelon.

"How is it, is it delicious?"

Lin Ling said with a smile.

Awen nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sister Lin, is this really a watermelon?"

Although he knew there was such a thing as watermelon and had seen it in a big supermarket, it was the first time he had actually eaten it.

"Yes!"

Lin Ling sighed: "I knew it was a watermelon early in the morning, and it's a bit unfair to win!"

It's almost like the two of them partnered to deceive children.
"What's the matter, isn't it just a matter of throwing garbage, don't bet I can help you too!"

Arvin didn't care.

"Besides, with such delicious watermelon, it must not be cheap."

"You all invited me to eat watermelon for free, so what's the point of me throwing trash? It's a matter of convenience!"

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have taken advantage of it.

The bottom of my heart became more and more emotional, Brother Chu and Sister Lin are really good people.

He also wants to become such a person!
"Eat more if it's delicious!"

"This watermelon weighs more than eight catties, and it's hard for me to hold it."

The weather has started to get hot recently.

Lin Ling is now a pregnant woman, her body temperature is obviously higher, so she is not resistant to heat and always feels uncomfortable.

Passing by a convenience store today, I heard someone yelling for watermelons, so I went to have a look.

The watermelons on the stand are all ugly and not big.

Lin Ling didn't feel very good looking at it, so she didn't buy it.

Turning around, he picked out a watermelon from the warehouse in the space.

"I can't eat too much, the two of you share the food, and when you go back, give the dwarf some as well."

Although he could only eat a little, Lin Ling still felt very satisfied.

When she was full, she watched Chu Yi and Ah Wen eat.

As if I had eaten it myself.

I feel very happy.

"Brother Chu, don't we have to go tomorrow?"

Awen chatted while eating.

Chu Yi wanted to nod at first, but after thinking about it, he said, "Go again tomorrow, the decoration over there has been completed, and it needs to be ventilated!"

"Then you have worked too hard!"

Awen sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Pick up a job, I've been busy for half a month, such a simple thing as ventilation requires Brother Chu to run around.

"Is it really all right if your cousin doesn't come to see you all the time?"

Even if they are relatives, they trust Brother Chu too much. They don't even go to their own shops.

Brother Chu laughed dryly, "No way, my cousin must have the key too!"

This excuse was inspired by Lin Ling's words before he set off in Pengcheng.

Cousin or something, it’s really useful!

It made Chu Yi occasionally wonder whether he really has a cousin in Hong Kong City who has made a fortune in business and is willing to support his nephew.
"He has to go to work during the day, so he only goes there at night, so he can't run into us."

"The big boss also has to go to work every day?"

Awen asked curiously.

He thought that the big boss would just sit at home and enjoy it every day!

"Why not?"

Chu Yi pondered, his wife is also the boss, and she has no less worries than the people who go to work. She often has to run around, which is much harder than going to work.

Lin Ling said with a smile: "Ordinary people have to go to work, so of course the boss has to go to work, listen to the work reports from the people below, and make decisions by the way."

"Of course, the boss has one more thing to do at work!"

She sold off.

Chu Yi and Ah Wen were whetted with almost no resistance.

"what's up?"

"Sister Lin, tell me!"

Lin Ling said with a smile, "Of course I'm keeping an eye on my subordinates, so as not to let them be lazy!"

Ah Wen laughed dryly, feeling a little bit stuck, but also a little bit of a trance.

"When I was on the pier, I often saw the bosses of those goods staring and pointing fingers."

"I hated them before, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem easy for them."

After all it was on the pier.

They are often exposed to the scorching sun when they work. They are used to doing it, and they don’t think it’s a problem, but those bosses who have money still have to be exposed to the sun like them.
"It's all about living."

"Actually, being a boss is not necessarily a good thing. You have to bear a lot of pressure, and you have to calculate your expenses well. If you make mistakes in any aspect, you will lose your fortune."

Lin Ling was quite emotional.

Whether it is a boss or a worker, it is not easy.

This era is the best era.

Many people who went to sea made their first pot of gold and lived a prosperous life.

But trial and error has a cost.

People only see the successful group of people, but behind them, there are more people who were drowned by the water.

"Sister Lin, why do you know so much?"

Awen asked suddenly.

A heart attack.

Lin Ling and Chu Yi looked at each other.

Both froze.

"Well, yes, ah, I went to my cousin's house a while ago and listened to what he said!"

Fortunately, Lin Ling thought of an excuse in time.

She said with a sneer: "How do I know the difficulties of being a boss? I just listened to what my cousin said!"

"It seems that uncle is not easy!"

Awen nodded with emotion.

"Hehe, yes~"

The two smirked.

"Brother Chu, since I don't have to work tomorrow, I'll go back to the pier to move the goods. I've been living in comfort for a long time, and I'm really tired."

Just now when I thought about continuing to work under the scorching sun tomorrow, I wanted to escape for a moment.

This will not work!

He still has to work hard to save his wife's capital!

"Ah Wen, you," Chu Yi hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, Brother Chu?"

"Is there something wrong with my work?"

Awen asked casually.

Chu Yi shook his head: "No, you did a good job!"

It was because he did so well that he felt a bit of regret.

"Awen, I mean, have you ever thought about learning some skills?"

"Skill? Carrying goods is also a skill!"

He laughed and didn't care.

"You're still young, it's good to move the goods now, a little problem can be recovered soon, but when you're old? What about when you're older?"

"Brother Chu, what do you mean?"

Awen felt that his expression was strange.

Chu Yi sighed: "I just see that you are working hard, but living such a life, doing the cheapest work, I feel worthless for you!"

Awen was silent, not knowing what to say.

"Maybe this is fate!"
