System: I open an inn in the desert

"It depends on what my parents think. I'm fine with anything." This was Lin Yu's answer when his sister asked him about his opinion on Chinese New Year.

He really didn't have any suggestions.

When I was a kid, I knew how to play like a clay boy from one end of the street to the other. When it was time to go home to eat and watch the windmill, then while the adults were eating melon seeds and chatting after dinner, I would set off a few firecrackers and go to the street to compete with my friends to see whose firecrackers were the loudest.

When he grew up, he became a laborer. He would take a rag and clean the baskets where his sister and mother couldn't reach. When he went out to buy things, he would carry things upstairs without stopping. He would also play a few games of chess with his father and follow his mother out to pay New Year's greetings as a mascot...

It's the same tool every year, he's used to it~~

Lin Ou: ...

Lin's father and mother also heard it from behind and agreed with the suggestion that the two families celebrate the New Year together.

After Lin Ou got married, the parents of both sides spent more time together.

Both parties are concerned about the good of their children, and are willing to accommodate each other on minor matters that are not in any way harmful. When both sides are doing well, their relationship will naturally become closer.

"But we don't know if we can make it on New Year's Eve..." Lin's mother suddenly remembered that they still had to go to the concert, and asked Lin Yu: "What time do we have to enter and leave that day? Can we make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Lin Yu: "We're going to a local station this time. Xu Lin and his team's show will be about an hour after the show starts, so it won't be until 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve. If you want to leave by then, you can. However, the seats we've been assigned are quite close to the front, so it would be more noticeable if we leave early."

If he was alone, he might not be too conspicuous. After his brothers finished their performance, he could go backstage to get an autograph or take a photo. But if he brought his parents along as a group, he would be a bigger target.

"We have never been to a live concert before, so this is a rare opportunity." Mother Lin thought for a moment and said to her daughter, "If nothing unexpected happens, we have to watch the whole show. We can't waste the good seats Xiao Xu and the others gave us. As for the dinner, let's arrange a suitable time on the first day of the new year or later. It's the first year of your marriage, so you can meet and get to know the relatives and friends of the Qi family."

"Okay, I'll discuss with Qi Yu how to arrange the time when he comes back. Anyway, the two families have to meet and have dinner during the New Year." Lin Ou smiled and said, "My mother-in-law said a few days ago that she wanted to invite you to go shopping."

Mother Lin also laughed: "We don't have to have a meal with our in-laws during the two days of the New Year. When your father and I go back to town to finish our business, we can go shopping together to buy some New Year's goods. Isn't it better than having all the relatives and friends together during the New Year?"

"That's right. I'll tell my mother-in-law this when I get home..."

The mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for a while, were talking affectionately. The father and son, one was driving and the other was chatting with an old friend on the phone. The car was so lively that time passed by without them noticing how fast it was. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at Lin Ou's newlywed home.

The home the young couple lives in now is the house that Lin Yu bought for Lin Ou. It is well decorated, in a good location, with convenient transportation, and the room is spacious, which is more than enough for two people to live in.

Before they got married, they had planned to live in Qi Yu's teacher dormitory, which was convenient for work and had a good environment. However, the economic environment has been bad in the past two years, and many college students have chosen to take the postgraduate entrance examination to improve their academic qualifications and increase their internal capital, so the existing teacher and graduate student dormitories are not enough.

Logically speaking, with Qi Yu's teaching level and title, there would be no problem for him to apply for a dormitory. However, after much consideration, the couple decided to withdraw the application, leaving the opportunity to those who need it more, and at the same time eliminating a hidden danger for future job changes.

After all, if one owns a better and more suitable house that does not need to be rented out to subsidize the household income, but still occupies a welfare-type teacher dormitory, once it is revealed by someone with ulterior motives at a critical moment in the future, it may become a straw that tips the camel's back.

There is really no need to create hidden dangers for some non-essential benefits.

While chatting, the family got into the elevator.

As soon as they arrived at the floor and opened the door, several people who had only been here a few times felt the difference. If they only thought the house was exquisite and beautiful when they came to see it last time, now it has a lot more breath of life.

Many interesting little decorations have been added to the door: shoe cabinets, umbrella stands, floor mats with cute patterns, and clearly defined express delivery and takeaway areas... The label of young people is firmly established.

"Didn't you tell me that you cook at home every day and eat healthy? You even set up a place to store takeouts, and the packages haven't even been taken in yet... Tell me the truth, do you eat takeout for three meals a day?"

As a housewife with traditional ideas, Mother Lin hated takeout. In the past, no matter whether she was opening the store or at home, as long as the siblings were with her, Mother Lin never let her two children order takeout.

Of course, when the siblings ate secretly, they must have done so behind their mother's back. Even if Mother Lin found out afterwards, the siblings were very skilled at pushing their father out to take the blame, and they were rarely caught.

Lin Ou held his mother's shoulders with both hands and pushed her into the house. "How could that be possible? I was busy with work recently and Qi Yu was on a few business trips. I came back too late and was too tired to cook. I only ordered a few times."

"You're the best." Mother Lin was still muttering as she was pushed away: "At the beginning, I told you to learn how to cook, but you never learned how to cook after all these years. Fortunately, Qi Yu is a caring person, you..."

Perhaps influenced by her half-son-in-law, or perhaps because her daughter has no talent in the kitchen, Mother Lin has accepted her fate and can only hope that her son-in-law with decent cooking skills can feed her daughter. Now she couldn't stop talking and was pushed into the house by her daughter, chattering all the way.

The father and son who followed behind said nothing, pretending they didn't exist. After carrying their luggage into the house, one of them went straight to the toilet to solve the problem of the five grains, while the other went to find wet wipes to wipe the suitcases one by one, so as not to be the next topic of parent-child education by the mother who came to her senses later.

Busy time always passes quickly, and before I knew it, several suitcases had been cleaned.

Lin Yu suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Ou, "Sister, why did you suddenly want to rent a car? I remember that uncle and aunt said they would buy you a car. Didn't you find a car you like or do you have other plans?"

He was talking about the first time the two families met together. At that time, both parents were planning to buy a new house for the young couple, and were prepared to each pay half of the money for a down payment on a house in a good location, or pay the full amount for a suitable house.

But Lin Yu's younger brother suddenly bought a house, and the two sides discussed giving the money to the young couple as a deposit. Originally, they planned to buy a small house to rent out or buy a car. Lin Yu remembered that they seemed to be buying a car, so he asked.

"Your brother-in-law's workplace is only a few minutes' walk away via bus No. 11, and I usually go with the interview bus, so buying a car won't be very useful..."

Lin Ou explained to his parents and brother: "We thought that the money would just sit there anyway, so we might as well invest it in something. But we're not very good at this, and we happened to come across a suitable small house for sale a few streets away some time ago, so we bought two adjacent ones, renovated them simply, and rented them out. Soon, it was rented out to a small dining table owner, and every month..."
