Aim at That Star

Chapter 114: Hoosi Has The Present

Compared with the young girl Lin Maizi, the young woman Lin Maizi is very different.

Changes in dress and appearance are one aspect, and what is more striking is her temperament and the way she speaks, as well as the choice of words between words.

Compared with the submissive and shrinking her when she was a child, it was like two people.

Compared with her sharp temperament and strong aggressiveness a few years ago, she has also grown a lot.

In fact, Lin Suizi didn’t know how to treat her.

A few years ago, before she got married, she and Lin Maizi were cousins who lived under the same roof. You can tear your face without any scruples, and your own happiness is the most important.

Because it is a child who has not grown into an adult, and it is a girl’s family, ignorant, shallow eyelids, and sarcastic.

In an environment like Nanyuanling Village, there were quite a few relatives and sisters who rolled on the ground in front of the big guys, grabbing their hair and pulling their clothes, not to mention that they closed the door and quarreled in their own homes.

But it’s different now.

Since marrying Jiang Shi, Lin Suizi has completely stayed away from Nanyuanling Village.

Except when it is necessary for New Years and festivals, he almost never goes back to his hometown, and his relationship with all the relatives of his mother’s family has been estranged a lot.

Even the little niece who used to cuddle her legs and act coquettishly, when she sees her now, she will only shyly call out “Auntie”, and then happily take the toffee she handed over and run away. .

Don’t dare to talk to these “big aunts in the city” again.

Even children, let alone adults.

Lin Suizi didn’t care much about the intimacy of these relatives, as long as she could maintain a smile on her face, so every time she returned to the village, she always brought a full courtesy and politeness, and never looked at others.

The village lacked industrial tickets the most. During the Chinese New Year, my aunt and aunt asked for some pots and pans and some soap, and she did her best to help.

After all, what seemed like a great thing to them was just a daily use for the Lin Suizi family.

Now, Jiang Shi is working in a government building, and Lin Suizi has also gone to a textile factory in the city. Although he is only a temporary worker, the salary is not high, and he has not even been able to transfer his household registration, but he is also a civilian. It can also make time to learn cultural knowledge, take care of children and so on.

He Ran and Cheng Yi were still young. When they were not in school, Lin Suizi and Jiang Shi usually had to go to work, and the two children were placed at the neighbor’s grandma Wang’s house. They were also responsible for a lunch and paid 15 yuan a month. Every once in a while, I brought some meat, vegetables, brown sugar and snacks. Actually, it was enough for Jiang Heran and Jiang Chengyi to eat lunch.

The two of them can run and dance, they are weird, they can play with a bunch of big kids all day, and they don’t need to be urged to eat.

There are many children in the Wang family, and there is only one man who is working seriously. The extra income can actually subsidize the family, so Grandma Wang treats these two children as golden babies, for fear that others will take away this good business.

Naturally, Lin Suizi did not lack the fifteen dollars.

Outsiders don’t know that Jiang Shi is simply a small earner. In addition to getting paid for work, he receives translations from time to time and writes a few papers. The extra money he earns is higher than the serious salary.

Lin Suizi was nervous at first when she got the money ticket, for fear that she would show off her wealth and let others grab it, and she became numb later.

The people who live in this area are all decent, except for the poor relatives who are burdened with heavy burdens, they are basically living well.

As long as Lin Suizi doesn’t spend too much money, he won’t be too loud. After all, they are a single family with only two children, and there are not many places where they need to spend money. It’s normal to eat well and dress well.

To be honest, every time Lin Suizi brought her children back to her parents’ house to pay New Year’s greetings, she would pick out old coats and old shoes for the children to put on.

If it is said that Lin Maizi is going home to show off his wealth, then Lin Suizi is deliberately dressing in a low-key manner.

She didn’t move around much, and her family knew very little about her life in the city. They only knew that she lived a good life. Both children were raised in vain and fat, and they were very polite.

And he didn’t forget his roots. Her parents really lacked something, so she sent a letter begging her, and she could send some back no matter how difficult it was.

Last year, Lin Xiangxue’s eldest brother got married. The wife’s family conditions were good, and she refused to give in on the dowry.

Lin Xiangxue couldn’t do anything, and her parents couldn’t help herself. She sneaked into the city to find Lin Suizi, and wanted to ask her for help. Lin Suizi didn’t say a word. Tickets and bike tickets.

At that time, her two children were born, and Jiang Shi had not yet been promoted.

Because of this, who wouldn’t say a good word to her mother’s family.

– That’s why, Lin Suizi had to cry poor in front of her family, even though she was living well enough.

A benefit that is too easy to get, no one will take it as a benefit.

Only when people feel that you have worked hard and tried your best will they truly appreciate it and keep this kindness in their hearts.

But for Lin Suizi, the troubles that can be solved by spending a little money and saying a few nice words are not troubles.

It was really unbearable to be targeted by Lin Maizi in her mother’s house when she was still unmarried.

It is a pity.

She has only had a stable life of three or four years, and this once “trouble” appeared in front of her again.

Seeing Lin Maizi’s half-truth smile in his eyes, Lin Suizi was a little impatient to deal with it.

But she is now married and has two children as a mother.

In the face of the “enemy” of the girlhood, naturally, you can’t be as “impulsive” as you were when you were young, and face **** for tat on the street regardless of face.

No matter what, Lin Suizi still had a bit of arrogance in his heart.

She feels that she is somewhat culturally knowledgeable now. According to Jiang Shi, she might still be a college student. She should have demeanor and arrogance, and should no longer care about irrelevant people. Yes, her temperament has also softened a lot.

So I hugged my little daughter and nodded to Lin Maizi: “Hey, hello, I heard from Sister Xuexue that you are also coming to the city to take the exam. I wish you well.”

– A few simple words, polite and polite tone, everyone can hear the alienation in her words.

But Lin Maizi seemed to be incapable of understanding human speech.

The expression on her face did not change at all, she stepped on her small leather shoes and walked over lightly and cleverly, and smiled at them: “Yes, I came to the city to take the test, and I didn’t know anyone in the city, The only thing I can think of is you, Sister Suizi. I originally wanted to rent Sister Suizi in your house for a few days, and I asked Sister Xiang Xue to ask, but she said it was inconvenient for you. The house was moved in today.”

“Sister Suizi, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Heran and Chengyi have grown so tall. Yo, Heran is asleep? Are you tired from hugging? Let me hug you for a while.”

Saying that, she stretched out her hand and wanted to pick up the little girl in Lin Suizi’s arms.

Lin Suizi hid back subconsciously.

Lin Maizi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: “Sister Suizi, I don’t eat people, why are you hiding from me like this? You don’t still remember what happened back then? It’s been so many years, it was me back then. If you don’t live with you, you will suffer the consequences, so we won’t worry about these anymore.”

Lin Suizi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little miraculous.

The grievance between her and Lin Maizi was over many years.

But these years, it’s not her who can’t let go, right?

Every year when I go back to my mother’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, it seems that Lin Maizi is the one who has to compare and show off.

Why did she suddenly become so reassuring today, as if she was going to release her former grudges and join hands to become sisters again?

Dressed up again?

But what are you going to do?

She said that Lin Maizi, who has only been in elementary school for a few years, is so confused that she will come to the city to take the college entrance examination.

Could it be that something bad is going on in the stomach?

…Actually, this time, it was really Lin Suizi who misunderstood Lin Maizi.

Lin Maizi is really in a good mood today.

I don’t know what gave her confidence, she always felt that she must be bound to win the college entrance examination this time.

She knew about the resumption of the college entrance examination a few years ago, and she has been reviewing since then, and she must be more prepared than others.

She remembered that there was an educated youth in the village who had been admitted to a university in her previous life. She observed carefully that they had been working in the fields every day for the past two years, and they had not studied much at all. Only after the notification came, they hurriedly picked up the book knowledge.

How could it compare to her.

—If Jiang Shi knew what she was thinking, it would be funny.

But now Jiang Shi has no time to pay attention to her.

Because Jiang Chengyi, the arrogant boy, was holding his hand, desperately trying to walk to the stall next to him, shouting, “Sorbet! Dad! Sorbet, buy sorbet!”

Jiang Shi took him back and snorted coldly: “Sorbet, what kind of sorbet? Grandma Wang said that you ate two popsicles secretly today. Believe it or not, mom will teach you a lesson when she gets home.”

“Grandma Wang lied! I gave my sister one! The sister’s one fell into the ditch, and we shared half of it!”

“Then don’t eat it. It’s a big night, so be careful with your stomach.”

“dad!”

“It’s no use calling Grandpa.”

Jiang Chengyi was unsuccessful in acting like a spoiled child, and was terribly frustrated. He was thinking about how to touch a few candies when his mother was not paying attention when he came home at night.

He didn’t even give a look to the unfamiliar aunt in front of him.

The last time I saw relatives on my mother’s side was more than half a year ago. He was only two years old at that time. No matter where he lived, Lin Xiangxue, a cousin, could still recognize him.

Not to mention that the mind is full of toffee and ice cream at the moment.

Lin Maizi, on the other hand, caught a glimpse of Jiang Chengyi’s unwilling look when he was pulling Jiang’s thigh, and he turned his head with a smile and asked him, “Chengyi wants to eat ice cream? Can my aunt buy it for you? What do you want to eat?”

Jiang Chengyi’s eyes lit up, and he was about to speak when he was immediately interrupted by his mother: “No need.”

Lin Suizi opened her mouth to stop her, looking a little helpless: “He has already eaten one today. The child is greedy and has no food to eat, so ignore him.”

Jiang Chengyi was not afraid of his father, but he was very afraid of his mother. Hearing that, he retorted in a low voice, “Half, half.”

Lin Maizi smiled, ignoring Lin Suizi’s stop and Jiang Shi’s cold scrutiny when he looked at her. He walked to the small stall next to him and bought two mung bean-flavored popsicles.

It’s really different in this city. It’s just a small stall that was pulled out and sold privately on the street. When you open the quilt, you can see several flavors of popsicles.

It’s not that Lin Maizi hasn’t been to the city in her last life, but that’s all after the opening. At this time in her last life, the farthest place she’d traveled was the town, and she’d never been to the county, let alone the city. in.

So even though he was wearing his best clothes and walking on this flat and clean street, he still showed a bit of cowardice and arrogance.

Fortunately, there is still the pride of “going to college” in my chest, and I didn’t show any timidity in the end.

When she bought the popsicles and walked back, Jiang Chengyi was still chasing with his father, and he woke up Jiang Heran.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and was dazed in her mother’s arms: “Are you home? Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet.” Lin Suizi coaxed her, “You go to sleep a little longer. Mom will call you when you get home.”

But Jiang Heran couldn’t sleep anymore, with wide eyes, he looked curiously at the strange aunt who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lin Maizi handed out a popsicle and asked with a smile, “He Ran woke up, I’m your cousin. My cousin bought you a popsicle. Do you want to eat it?”

As soon as she mentioned popsicles, Jiang Heran immediately showed a “want to eat” look.

But when her big eyes drooped, she saw the white-ground green-patterned wrapping paper of the ice lolly in her hand, and she immediately showed a bit of disappointment and shook her head: “He Ran won’t eat it, auntie eat it by herself.”

Lin Maizi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn’t expect that such an old child could resist the temptation of snacks.

So her eyes turned to Jiang Chengyi next to him.

Unexpectedly, the disappointment on Jiang Chengyi’s face was more obvious: “Cousin, why don’t you buy cream ice cream, that’s delicious, this mung bean is tasteless.”

Jiang Shi raised his head and knocked him a shudder.

The little boy covered his head and hummed: “I’m sorry cousin, the mung bean flavor is also delicious, but I’ve eaten sorbet today, so I can’t eat it anymore.”

Because he was taken by his parents in someone else’s house when he was a child, Jiang Chengyi didn’t recognize his birth at all.

Anyway, there are so many aunts, aunts, uncles and uncles on this street, and they are not worse than a cousin.

Lin Maizi could see it: these two children despise the snacks she bought.

Omg.

How delicate is this pair of twins. When she was in Nanyuanling Village, even if she only bought a white candy popsicle for seven or eight children, they would come together with drooling and scrambling for each other. rush to eat.

Why does this pair of brothers and sisters seem to be despised by a whole mung bean sorbet.

Thinking of this, Lin Maizi couldn’t help frowning.

She also recalled the rich picture of Lin Suizi and her child building blocks in a small house before she died in her previous life.

The expression also became a little trance.

Lin Suizi saw the timing and said goodbye immediately: “Then we won’t disturb you when you move. If you are free after the exam, come to the house for dinner, we will go first.”

When Lin Maizi regained his senses, he only had time to see the backs of their family of four leaving.

The two children were especially lively. Jiang Chengyi was running around on the road with the slingshot in his hand, running away for a while and then running back, while Jiang Heran was lying on Jiang’s shoulder and chattering endlessly, even when he walked out, he could still hear it from far away. She narrated in a milky voice.

Very harmonious look.

Lin Maizi’s last life plus this life, two marriages, each of which is not as good as she imagined.

In the last life, she left her to go back to the city before she gave birth to a husband, but in this life, she didn’t want to give birth.

But honestly, doesn’t she really want a child?

Of course she wanted to.

It’s just Xu Weidong……he, he’s not worth it.

Yes, he is not worth it.

Lin Maizi looked at the group of people who had disappeared around the corner, and the emotions in his eyes gradually became firmer.

She is the one who has the first chance in life, and a man like Xu Weidong is not worthy of her!

Wait until she goes to college.

When she is admitted to university, everything will be a new life.

She is only in her twenties now, and has never given birth to a child, so she can devote herself to a beautiful future and new life without any help.

Thinking of this, Lin Maizi curled her lips again.

Lin Suizi…let her be proud for a while, and when she is admitted to university and becomes a high-level intellectual, she will not be on the same level at all.

As soon as I came back, I hurriedly fought with her because I didn’t succeed.

She is also mature now, and will never do those dishonest scheming things again.

To know that the best revenge is to have a good life and leave those “enemies” behind and make them jealous.

Just like the two concubines of the Xu family.

Lin Maizi snorted softly, and walked in the direction where Lin Suizi left.

She was going to move today, Xu Weidong was waiting for her at the post office ahead and brought some luggage for her.

She came early, and it was almost a month before the exam. It was impossible to stay in a hotel. With the foundation of these years, she successfully persuaded her in-law’s family to allow her to come to the city to prepare for the exam.

After all, it is indeed more convenient to buy materials in the city and get news quickly, not to mention that she also said that she lives next to her cousin’s house, which is the place she found for her, and it is very safe and cheap.

Lin Maizi has also saved a lot of private money through various small means over the years, so he is not worried about the issue of room and board.

……

“What do you think happened to her?”

Lin Suizi was also discussing Lin Maizi with Jiang Shi at this time, frowning, a little puzzled, “How come you are so good, and you have changed your appearance again?”

“Don’t worry about her, I’ll talk to Aunt Zhuang later, and tell Lin Suizi not to harass you during this time… No, or you can go to my office to review during this time, and I will help you by the way. You, save yourself from being unsafe at home.”

Because Lin Suizi also planned to take the college entrance examination, she took a month-long vacation for the job in the textile factory. For Jiang Shi’s sake, the superiors didn’t feel embarrassed at all, and they quickly approved it.

So these days, she is reviewing at home.

But today Lin Maizi came.

“forget it.”

Lin Suizi shook his head, “I’ll go to your office. What should you do with the children? Don’t think about it too seriously. I’ll close the door tightly so that she won’t come in. And I’m really afraid of her failure.”

But I don’t care about her because I don’t want to cause trouble. If Lin Maizi really wants to go on and on, she won’t be easy to mess with.

Jiang Shi glanced at Miss Lin’s firm look, and shook his head helplessly: “Okay, just don’t regret it.”

“Don’t worry, I, Lin Suizi, have never suffered a loss that I don’t want to suffer since I was twelve years old!”

….the words say so.

– That’s what I said, but in fact, it was only the third day that Lin Suizi regretted it.

Because Lin Maizi’s mentality collapsed.

After seeing what house Lin Suizi lived in in the city, what kind of life she lived, and what kind of official her husband was, her mentality completely collapsed.

She suddenly realized that everything was not going in the direction she imagined.

She’s the one, the consistent loser.
