Looking at my uncle who was drunk but had a stubborn look on his face, I knew in my heart that this matter could only end here.
Before leaving, I took out my wallet, counted out a thousand dollars in cash and stuffed it into my uncle's hand: "Uncle, you must accept this money. I can't take such precious medicinal materials for free." Do you want some money for some medicinal materials? Take it back quickly!"
I put the money on the table and said, "One yard is worth the other. I am doing serious business, and the costs must be calculated. If you don't accept it, how can I come to ask for medicine next time?"
The two of us pushed each other back and forth for several rounds.
In the end, Father Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to smooth things over, took the money from my hand, half persuading and half grabbing, and stuffed it into my uncle's jacket pocket: "After construction, my son is in a serious business, and he pays attention to this. You should accept what you have worked so hard for!"
Uncle Lin then gave up: "What the hell is this..."
Send Father Lin off On the way back, I still felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, is the one thousand yuan I just gave you enough? Don't let my uncle lose money."
Father Lin responded with a smile: "It's almost the same. His Wild Black Smooth Tablets are the best, of average quality on the market, about three hundred per pound."
I nodded, feeling finally more at ease.
I was thinking secretly in my mind: The stable supply of black pornographic films is really a problem that requires long-term consideration.
When I returned to the Lin family yard, I realized that I would definitely not be able to drive back to the city after drinking.
Mother Lin enthusiastically asked me to stay here: "Xiao Chen, just stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning. The room has been packed for you."
I had no choice but to say thank you and agree. I took a short nap in the guest room in the afternoon and woke up in the evening.
At dinner time, Mother Lin stewed a native chicken.
Father Lin took out the wine bottle again and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, let's have some more drinks tonight, you're not leaving anyway."
I couldn't refuse, so I had to have a drink with him.
While I was eating, my phone rang. It was a video call from Lin Xiaoyu.
After I got through, she turned the camera to herself, with the hospital nurse station in the background behind her.
"Mom," she said hello to Mother Lin first.
"While eating," Mother Lin turned the camera to the dining table.
Lin Xiaoyu saw the wine in front of me: "Are you drinking again?"
Before I answered, Lin's father came over and smiled at the camera: "Xiaoyu, I'll have two drinks with Xiao Chen, not much."
"Dad, you drink less, Chen Hao has to drive tomorrow."
"Just drink a little," I raised my small glass as a gesture. I gave up smoking, and now my only hobby is drinking.
Lin Xiaoyu sighed and asked about the situation at home.
Mother Lin kept talking about whether the clothes I brought fit her, and how good the quality of my cousin’s sex films were.
I occasionally put in a few words, and I feel that the atmosphere is somewhat like before.
This common meal and this video call made me feel like we hadn’t broken up yet.
But on second thought, this may be the purpose of my trip, to quietly mend the broken bond between us in these small details.
After sleeping in Xiaoyu's room all night, I woke up early the next morning and had to rush back to the city today.
After eating the egg noodles made by Mrs. Lin, I was ready to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Mother Lin was busy stuffing things into my trunk.
“Auntie, this is too much, I can’t finish it.” I tried to refuse.
"There's too much!" Mother Lin couldn't help but stuff in the last bag of souvenirs.
"Take these vegetables and eggs back and divide them between the two sisters Xiaoyu and Xiaoqing. Where can they get such fresh food in the city."
Hearing that it was for their sisters, I couldn't shirk it anymore, so I could only say thank you repeatedly.
Farewell to Father and Mother Lin, I drove from the county road to the entrance of the expressway, feeling just relaxed.
·A few traffic policemen wearing reflective vests suddenly appeared in front of their sight, stopping the vehicles and checking them one by one.
I did drink a lot of high-strength liquor with Father Lin last night. Even though I had a good sleep, I was not sure whether the alcohol in my body had been completely metabolized.
If you are caught driving under the influence, you will be in big trouble.
When it was my turn, a young traffic policeman motioned for me to roll down the window.
"Routine check, blow on it." He handed over a rapid alcohol screener.
I forced myself to calm down and blew into the small white tube.
His eyes were fixed on the display window on the front of the screener, fearing that the dazzling red light would light up.
One second, two seconds...
The window always maintained its original color, and no warning light came on.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." The traffic policeman took back the instrument and waved his hand to indicate that I could leave.
Thank you.
It wasn’t until I drove a few hundred meters and confirmed that I was completely out of sight of the traffic police that I let out a long sigh of relief.
It was already noon when I rushed back to the rental house in the city.
I opened the trunk and looked at the various agricultural products stuffed inside by Mother Lin, and I couldn't help but have a headache.
It took some effort to move these things back to the kitchen.
At this time, Lin Xiaoyu walked out of her room, rubbing her eyes, still wearing pajamas. She was obviously awakened by the movement of me moving things.
"Why did you bring so many things back?" She saw the things spread out on the ground.
"These are what your mother insisted on giving to me, saying she was bringing them back for you and Xiaoqing to eat." I put the meat in the refrigerator
Lin Xiaoyu looked at the familiar things on the ground: "That's what mom is like."
She whispered, and then took out her mobile phone, "Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll invite Xiaoqing to come over for a meal and sort out some of these things, otherwise I won't be able to let go."
She said, and sent a message to her sister.
After sending the message, Lin Xiaoyu asked casually, "By the way, uncle, have you got the medicinal materials?"
"I have got the medicinal materials. I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't accompany you."
I have to go to Huang Lina tomorrow to study with her whether the prescription is effective.
Lin Xiaoyu was squatting on the ground sorting the vegetables: "Who wants you to accompany me?"
I hurriedly put the souvenirs in the kitchen and rushed to the station immediately.
Although I have only been away for a day, I still feel uneasy, for fear that something will go wrong.
As soon as I entered the office, I looked at Zhang Wei: "Nothing happened at the station today, right?"
Zhang Wei adjusted her glasses and glanced at me: "What can happen? Everything is normal."
"You came back empty-handed like this?"
I immediately understood that she meant that I didn't bring her a gift.
Those were named by Mother Lin to Sister Xiaoyu, and they cannot be related to Zhang Wei in any case.
I made an excuse, "I was busy with things over there, so I didn't take care of them. What do you want to eat? I'll order you a takeaway as compensation."
Zhang Wei responded: "No, I have no appetite. You should take a look at yesterday's order data first. There are a few abnormal orders that need to be processed."
