Comprehensive Video: Daily life from the courtyard

"Oh, what about my brother and sister-in-law?" Lin Nan didn't ask about the food anymore, and asked where his brother-in-law went again.

Before Mama Bai could answer, Mrs. Bai's joyful voice came from outside the door, "Bai Peng, I think the cultural garden is pretty good in terms of environment and other aspects. The most important thing is that the school is close, and the teachers in this school are very good. Our Xin Xin is five years old this year, and now we can live in it when Xinxin is in elementary school."

When Lin Nan heard that he was looking at Bai's father and mother and the dish of sour cabbage, all doubts in his heart were resolved. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

What can I say, after all, I can't just blame Big Brother Bai, I have to take half of the responsibility, if I care more about them, I won't be like this, now I want to use money to take care of them to my elder brother and sister-in-law like last time, to them It may be both a comfort and a hurt.

I am gratified that my son has finally made it through and gained a foothold in Shanghai. At the same time, I am sad that the two of them have become a burden to the sons and have begun to drag them down.

The key opened the door, and Brother Bai saw Lin Nan standing by the dining table. His eyes followed the sour cabbage that Lin Nan was staring at, and his heart felt sad and flustered for a moment.

My parents stopped eating sauerkraut after they came back from Shanghai, because the hospital said they had high blood pressure and high blood lipids, so they should pay attention to taboos, and it is best not to eat high-fat and high-salt foods.

If his younger brother hadn't come back suddenly today, he wouldn't have known that his parents said that they didn't buy enough, and that the good dish with no leftovers after a meal was sauerkraut.

That's right, since my daughter-in-law wanted to buy a house in the school district last month, I haven't seen my parents buy fish and shrimp. He knows it must be for himself, and his parents want to save more money to help him.

Seeing Brother Bai and the others come back, Mama Bai rushed to the kitchen with the dishes before her daughter-in-law entered, as if she had discovered the secret.

"Taozi, you're back. Have you eaten yet? I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you." Lin Yue was the last to enter the door, and she asked attentively when she saw this promising uncle standing at the dining table, but she didn't see her mother-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, don't bother, I just came back after eating at Yingying's house." Lin Nan replied lightly. He knew that sister-in-law could not be blamed for this, but it was inevitable that he would be a little bit angry.

"Yueyue, you take Xinxin back to the room first, Taozi and I have something to talk about." Bai Peng signaled Lin Yue to go first.

Lin Yue thought that her husband was going to ask her brother-in-law for a loan. In the past few years, her family had only saved about [-] yuan in savings. If her brother-in-law hadn't promised to give her parents-in-law [-] yuan in pension funds every month, she wouldn't dare to talk about buying a house.

Lin Nan followed Bai Peng to the road outside the community. As he walked, Bai Peng took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to Lin Nan, "Do you want one?"

"Brother, smoke it yourself, I don't know how to smoke." Lin Nan didn't lie, neither the original body nor he knew how to smoke.

Bai Peng lit a cigarette, smoked it quietly, and then said, "I really don't know about today's matter. This year we also started to divide the school district. Xinxin has to ask for a room in the school district when going to school. Your sister-in-law and I recently got off work. , looking for a suitable house every day, ignoring my parents, my parents probably want to help me share the pressure, so they are so economical."

Bai Peng looked at his once shy younger brother, and wondered why the gap between the two had become so large. He heard from his parents that he is now an executive with an annual salary of nearly one million, while he, the eldest brother, was so confused that he couldn't even afford to buy a house. Let parents save money from their teeth!
Lin Nan couldn’t say what he accused in his heart. It happened in his previous life, because the school where the house he lived in was divided into bad environment and teachers. If he wanted to change to a better school, he had to buy a house. The original owner came back from Shanghai when he was unemployed. , the irritability and frustration in his heart made him decadent at home for half a year. In the end, the eldest brother was forced by the pressure of supporting the family, so he had to let Xinxin go to the school assigned to him. In the end, Xinxin failed to pass the high school entrance examination and had to go to a vocational school.

Lin Nan looked at Big Brother Bai silently, and when he was about to say something, Dad Bai hurried over and interrupted him, saying to Bai Peng, "Pengzi, you go back to eat first, and your brother and I will go back later."

"I just wanted to say something to your elder brother." Dad Bai asked with a smile.

"Dad, what about you, what do you want to say to me?" Lin Nan looked at the honest and honest Dad Bai in front of him and asked, he didn't know what Dad Bai wanted to say to him after chasing him?
"You're getting more and more slippery, but Taozi can't blame your elder brother and sister-in-law for this matter. Your mother and I are of average ability. Apart from taking care of Xinxin and doing some housework,

There are many things that I can't help you with. Your elder brother works hard outside, and sometimes he doesn't come back until late after working overtime. It's inevitable that there are things he can't take care of. In addition, your mother and I deliberately concealed this. How could he find out? wrong".

"As for your sister-in-law, you saw it just now. As soon as she came back, your mother took the plate and hid it. You knew that she was very kind to us and didn't agree with us being so frugal."

"It's just how much money they have. As parents, we can guess roughly, so we want to save some money to help them." Dad Bai sighed after finishing speaking.

"Why don't you let me lend some money to my eldest brother, so that your old couple can't save money from their teeth?" Lin Nan said with some inexplicable meaning.

"This won't work. If they were sick and waiting for money to save their lives today, your mother and I would definitely talk to you without hesitation, but buying a house is not a big deal, but it is not a small thing. They should bear the responsibility themselves. I And your mom has a duty to help.

But you don't, Taozi, remember, if your brother asks you to borrow money, remember to ask him to pay the IOU. There is an old saying that brothers can settle their accounts clearly, you can borrow but not give it to them for nothing." Papa Bai thought Lin Nan would give them the money Buy a house, quickly stop it.

It's not that he doesn't love his eldest son, but people's hearts are the most unpredictable thing, and it's a matter of course if you give them too much, just like buying a house this time, if Taozi didn't give the old couple [-] pension funds every month, the old people I only want to buy, but I don’t really want to buy a house.

So I can't start this again. Taozi relies on his own efforts to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai. What he has to do is to maintain the relationship between their brothers and do his best to help the boss, instead of poaching the flesh of the younger son to subsidize the older son.

"Does Mom mean that too?"Lin Nan raised his eyebrows and asked, after all, don't most parents want their children to help each other?

"Yes, it's because we both have the same meaning. You have to have some ideas in your heart. You haven't married a wife yet. After you marry a wife and have children, the expenses will be high.
But what did her parents say when you went to Yingying's house this time, are you satisfied?" Papa Bai doesn't think his son is the best like Mama Bai,

The girl let her pick and choose. If the woman thought it was okay, she would let her son get married as soon as possible. He is almost thirty, and the eldest grandson Xinxin is five years old. Taozi doesn't even have a wife.
