Chapter 217
Chapter 217
With Lin Shu's comfort, Liu Xiao'e felt relieved.
In the next few days, she kept thinking about what to bring to the Li family.
Lin Gang is the last child of Liu Xiao'e and Lin Dashan to get married. Just like when Gu Jiu got married, both parents wanted to make the marriage of their last child a success so that it would have a happy ending.
Seeing that Liu Xiao'e was very concerned about Lin Gang's affairs these days, Lin Shu quietly bought two pieces of cashmere fabric from the mall. The red one was made into a mid-length windbreaker, and the black one was made into wide-leg pants.
In the previous life, the one who had the hardest life in the Lin family was her, the third sister-in-law. In the previous life, no one guided Lin Gang correctly, so he gradually developed the habit of being lazy and gluttonous.
If the man in a family is not strong enough, the woman will have to work the hardest, having to be both the father and the mother. After raising the children with great difficulty, her body is almost exhausted.
In order to make up for the regrets of his previous life, Lin Shu wants Li Wan to live in a honeypot in this life. He cannot control emotional matters, but at least as for her life after marriage, Lin Shu guarantees that she can live a comfortable life without having to work hard for a living.
Some people may say that if Lin Shu drags Li Wan into Lin Gang's huge trap again in this life, he will be harming her.
But sometimes you think from another angle, if Li Wan didn't marry Lin Gang in this life, her parents would find a man for her in the countryside. Instead of facing the unknown man's family, it's better to start over.
At least in the Lin family, her parents-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law were all very kind to her. Lin Gang was a bit out of tune in his previous life, so he could be educated in this life.
"Is this the clothes you made for the third brother's girlfriend?" Liu Xiao'e picked up the clothes and looked at them left and right in surprise. The more she looked at them, the more beautiful they seemed to her.
"You have never met the third brother's girlfriend, how do you know what size she wears?"
The smile on Lin Shu's face froze slightly, and his eyes rolled around: "I heard Lin Gang say this before, and I have a rough guess. Anyway, I made this dress one size bigger. If it's too big, you can wear a sweater inside, and if it's too small, you can wear it when the weather is warmer."
"You are really concerned about the third brother's marriage. Thank you for your hard work." Liu Xiao'e was very pleased. Brothers and sisters should help each other.
In fact, Lin Shu also knew what size shoes Li Wan wore, but if he bought the right size shoes, Liu Xiao'e would probably become suspicious again.
"Mom, I'm not concerned about Lin Gang's marriage. I just have inexplicable expectations for my future third sister-in-law. I think she should be a filial daughter-in-law. You should treat her well in the future."
"Is there such a saying?" Liu Xiao'e couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and thought that the child was just being hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.
Lin Shu smiled lightly: "Okay, don't worry about what they say, take the clothes back. I won't see you off when you take the bus tomorrow morning. I'll go see your third sister-in-law after you pick her up."
"Okay, I'll accept your gift on behalf of your sister-in-law. When I give her the clothes and pants, I'll tell her that the clothes are from you."
Liu Xiao'e folded the clothes and put them into the bag.
After that, I took care of the matters of Dabao and Erbao and went back first.
Dabao took out his phone and typed a string of words on it, "Is one set of clothes too little?"
Lin Shu rubbed Dabao's hair and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law and I have never met. She dared not accept the gift if it was too expensive, fearing that she would have a psychological burden. If you want to treat her well, don't rush. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"My third aunt was very kind to me when I was young. She suffered a lot when she was young, but fortunately she was very good at educating children. She educated both of her children very well. My two cousins are also very successful and filial to her."
Lin Shu pursed his lips and nodded, saying gently: "Now start over again, you can do whatever you regret. If you are unable to change it, you can tell me and I will help you."
Dabao closed his eyes and thought for a while. When Lin Shu thought he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, he opened his eyes and typed a message on his mobile phone.
"Next month, the food factory will hold a social gathering. At the gathering, father will meet a girl named Siqin. This girl had always been by father's side in his previous life and was his special assistant.
Although my father had no feelings for her, he was very dependent on her. Whether it was in life or work, my father relied on Siqin to take care of many things for him. "
Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time that Dabao took the initiative to mention Gu Jiu from his previous life. "Did your father get married later?"
Dabao shook his head and said, "If you are single, you should have one or two close friends, but it is unknown whether the relationship will be successful.
I found out in the hospital that he had the same rare blood type as me. Plus, he and I had similar facial features, so I made a bold guess.
Later I got his blood for a paternity test, and unexpectedly I got the result right, he is really my biological father.”
No one could understand his excitement at that time.
Later, he came to him with the paternity test. When he put the paternity test in front of him, he was very excited and relieved.
It seemed as if all the mysteries had been solved.
I didn't see him for a while afterwards. When they met again, he handed over all the wealth he had accumulated over half his life to him, as well as his company.
After he withdrew from the front line, he traveled around with his old friends and lived the life of a real playboy.
Speaking of it, in his past and present lives, he had one person to thank for being able to come into this world smoothly.
This person is Xu Ming from the county town, Gu Jiu’s childhood friend.
I just don’t know how his mother will face Xu Ming in the future.
If Xu Ming had not existed in his previous life, his mother would not have given birth to him, and he would have lived a life of wandering for the first half of his life.
I have experienced all the sufferings in life.
In this life, if there was no Xu Ming, she would not have known her father, and he would not have been born, and she would not have the happy life she has now.
Lin Shu looked at the words typed by Dabao and his eyes flashed. Siqin?
She wrote the name down.
When Gu Jiu returned home, he found that his wife, who usually cared about him, ignored him this time and stared at him with strange eyes from time to time.
Being stared at made his scalp numb. Gu Jiu couldn't stand it any more. "Shushu, do you have anything to say?"
Lin Shu shook his head and went back to doing his own thing.
Gu Jiu scratched his head in confusion, watched her back disappear at the door, turned around and met Dabao's bright eyes.
"Dabao, what does your mother mean by this?"
Dabao could already pronounce two or three words at a time. Gu Jiu didn't want him to answer, he just asked casually.
But Dabao pointed at him and uttered four words word by word: "You-raise-little-honey!"
"What?" Gu Jiu was dumbfounded. "I raise a little honey, what does that mean? What is a little honey?"
Dabao pouted and hummed. When Gu Jiu picked him up, he kindly reminded him, "Female secretary."
"Female secretary?" Gu Jiu was extremely shocked. Today, Fade Chen suggested finding two female secretaries, one for him and one for Chen Fei.
How come even my own son knew about it when I got home?
Gu Jiu was feeling uneasy, waiting for Lin Shu to question him.
But he waited and waited, and until he fell asleep in bed at night, Lin Shu still didn't ask.
When he got up, Lin Shu had already gone out to the hotel.
The hotel renovation work has started again just a few days after the New Year.
The hotel is not renovated by decorating the whole building at once, but the lobby is renovated first, and then the decoration is done layer by layer.
From the end of last year to now, the hotel lobby and the second and third floors have been renovated. Now we just need to clean it up, move the furniture in, hang the curtains and other facilities before we can receive guests.
"Mr. Lin, you are here."
As soon as Lin Shu entered the noodle restaurant, he saw that many of the people sitting there eating breakfast were newly hired employees of the restaurant.
The person who greeted her was the newly hired restaurant manager, a young man who had graduated from high school named Long Yi.
It is difficult to find a manager with management experience these days, because graduates from technical secondary schools and universities are directly assigned jobs by the school upon graduation.
It is simply wishful thinking for a private hotel like Lin Shu to find a graduate from a prestigious university.
Long Yi is a humble and steady person. He has been unemployed at home for two years since graduation. It was a coincidence that he came to Lin Shu's hotel this time.
"Well, good morning everyone, did you just have breakfast?"
Long Yi nodded and said, "No one has eaten yet. I will have everyone clean up after breakfast. Today we will clean up the first to third floors of the hotel, and tomorrow we can move in the furniture and software facilities."
Lin Shu saw that there were bowls of noodles in front of more than a dozen people, and said with a smile: "Since we have met, I will treat you to breakfast today. If one bowl is not enough, you can add more."
When more than a dozen employees heard this, they were all happy and thanked him immediately.
"Thank you Mr. Lin!"
Long Yi asked Lin Shu to sit down and asked, "Mr. Lin, have you eaten?"
"I came here after having breakfast, don't worry about me, just eat quickly."
Lin Shu asked Long Yi to have breakfast first, as she had something to do with Lin Dashan.
"Dad, Mom, what time is the train today?"
"Seven o'clock. I sent them to the train station in the morning. I came back after watching them get on the train."
Lin Dashan looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you here to see me?"
"Well, the hotel is cleaning today, and the furniture will be ready tomorrow. I ordered a batch of hotel furniture and stored it in the warehouse. Please help me go to the transportation company this afternoon to call two trucks and ask them to help transport the furniture tomorrow."
Lin Dashan nodded and agreed while cutting green onions. "Okay, that's no problem. I'll go there this afternoon when the transportation company starts working. But do you know how much the freight is? I'm worried that they'll treat me like a pig and slaughter me."
Lin Shu chuckled: "Dad, their transportation company is a formal state-owned unit, and the higher-ups have already set the charging standards. You just need to pay whatever they quote. When you're done, come back and ask me to reimburse you, or you can ask the accounting department of the restaurant to reimburse you."
After explaining things to Lin Dashan, Lin Shu went to the renovated duplex.
The interior was renovated before the New Year and was left to air out for more than a month. In addition, the materials used for decoration were all environmentally friendly materials purchased from the system mall, which are non-toxic and odorless.
In fact, as long as they are willing, they can move in now without worrying about formaldehyde content exceeding the standard.
Lin Shu looked at the empty house. Apart from the decorated cabinets, the sofa, dining table, bed, etc. were not yet purchased.
This time I came mainly to move out the furniture that Dabao had already selected in the system mall.
The system mall's function of being available at any time is very convenient.
The sofa can be taken out directly and placed in the corresponding position, and the same goes for the dining table and bed.
Only when large pieces of furniture are put out can the house feel a bit like home, but that is not enough.
Curtains should be installed on all windows upstairs and downstairs.
The curtain box was already completed during the decoration. Lin Shu took out the curtains selected by Dabao and started to thread the hooks. After the hooks were hung, she hung the curtains.
There are more than a dozen windows in the entire duplex, and hanging curtains makes the whole house look much warmer.
After mopping the floor, Lin Shu bought a lot of green plants from the system mall and placed them in the house. The bedroom was just short of bedding, and he would buy some kitchen utensils for the kitchen next time and he would be ready to move in.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Shu heard Long Yi calling her outside the window. She opened the window and looked down, and found that it was Gu Jiu who came over.
"You didn't go to the company today, how come you have time to come to see me?"
Gu Jiu led Long Yi to the stairwell and said, "I haven't come to see the house since it was renovated. Come and take a look."
Lin Shu opened the door and let the two in.
As soon as they entered the door, not to mention Long Yi, even Gu Jiu was shocked by the decoration of the house.
"Shushu, isn't our house too luxurious? It's so magnificent that if you don't know, you would think you are in the Dragon Palace."
Lin Shu couldn't help laughing, "You are usually so carefree, I rarely see you being so silly."
"I'm telling the truth. This house is so beautifully decorated. I really want to move in tonight."
Gu Jiu visited the first floor and then went to the second floor. After seeing the facilities of the house, he really didn't want to live in that old villa anymore.
Look at how bright the lights in the living room are. The lights in the bathroom can also be heated. How comfortable it would be to take a bath in the winter.
If you want hot water, just turn on the tap.
Unlike the villa we live in now, if you want to use hot water, you have to boil water temporarily.
The bedroom has a 1.8-meter-tall bed, which is so spacious. The large wardrobe that reaches the ceiling is so big that I wonder how many clothes it can hold.
The most important thing is that this house has better ventilation and lighting than old villas, and the house looks brighter.
Long Yi looked at Mr. Lin's new house, then thought about his own old and dilapidated home, and suddenly he had a more intuitive and clear understanding of the gap between the two.
Lin Shu followed behind him and smiled after hearing what he said: "If you want to move in as soon as possible, go back and ask someone to pick an auspicious day, and then we will move in."
In fact, Lin Shu also wanted to move here earlier so that it would be easier for her to manage the several shops and hotels.
Staying away from sisters-in-law can also prevent them from knowing your situation and feeling unbalanced.
Jealousy makes people ugly.
"What you said makes sense. I'll go find someone to choose an auspicious date when I get back, and tell my parents so they can be prepared."
Gu Jiu happily decided to move as soon as possible. Ever since he got married, he had been looking forward to living a quiet life with his wife and children without being disturbed.
It’s not that he is unfilial, but even if a large family lives together, no matter how harmonious the family is, there will always be some conflicts, and some conflicts are irreconcilable.
"Mr. Lin, your house is so beautifully decorated. Which decorator did it?" Long Yi dared to interrupt and ask when he saw that the couple had almost finished their conversation.
"The team of craftsmen who are helping us decorate the hotel now, if you want to decorate your house in the future, you can look for them."
Long Yi nodded in understanding: "No wonder they were able to decorate the hotel so high-end, there must be no problem with their technology and aesthetics."
