Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 193 The Brothers of the Lin Family
Walking into Camellia Brigade, if it weren't for the smell of salty seawater and the lingering smell of fish in the air, it would make people feel like they are in a remote mountainous area inland.

The houses here maintain the characteristics of the Lingnan area and look like ancestral halls.

Of course, these are good houses, and there are not many of them.

There are more low-rise bungalows scattered on the alkaline land, surrounded by vast open spaces.Although it is a brigade, it is completely incomparable with the population base of the commune brigade in the interior.

Through these buildings, Li Jiankun speculated that the Camellia Brigade probably only had 400 people.

Along the way, there were not many people around at first, but gradually there were more and more people, and the members were obviously very interested in them.

"Teacher Lin, where did you come from?"

"Looks like a Hong Kong native."

"Teacher Lin, please take me to my house. My house is free."

There is an unwritten rule in the brigade. Whoever the foreign merchants talk to first has the right to arrange food and accommodation. No matter whose house they are placed in, they will make money.

Therefore, at the main intersection where you enter the brigade, there are often members of the commune squatting or wandering around. Whenever you get a group of foreign businessmen, it is tantamount to the God of Wealth coming to your door.

And this is still a foreseeable profit, what can really be called wealth is still to come——

The members knew very well why these foreign merchants came over, but the merchants were not qualified to participate in border trade, and they would eventually have to do the work for them.

If there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves and you meet merchants doing big business, it will be good luck.

For example, Lin Shuiping, who lives in the east end of the brigade, had two small shabby houses made of gravel last year, but this year she built a high-walled compound.All because of a group of merchants I met last year.

They were in the business of selling travel shoes, and they had a supply of goods in the port city. All they had to do was bring the goods over. Lin Shuiping was chosen by them, and they often called a group of people to pick up the goods at the border. Once they had enough to save a truck, the other party would send a truck to tow them.

This business is still being done.

Envy other members in the brigade.

The reason why more and more members came over after hearing the letter was mainly because this group of merchants looked unusual. There was a leader, a couple who looked like young couples, and two people carrying bags who looked like bodyguards.

Age doesn't matter. Those who dare to do big business these days are really young people.

Faced with invitations from many members, Lin Yun said apologetically: "I'd better take him to the brigade headquarters and hand it over to the leader."

He felt that it was his responsibility to bring people in. He knew that many members had dark hearts and treated these foreign merchants as fat sheep.

Even if you are poor, you still have to have some principles in life.

Besides, from the perspective of long-term development, this is not good. There are twelve brigades nearby. Foreign merchants were ripped off today. Maybe they won’t say anything. Will they come to their brigades again next time?
Many members secretly cursed nerds!
Even if you don't give it to us, you can just take it back yourself. You don't even know how to make money.

On the way to the brigade headquarters, a young man suddenly rushed over and blocked the way.

"Brother, the merchant you met?"

Lin Hai was very excited. He often wandered around the intersection when he had nothing to do. He never saw a group of merchants. Unexpectedly, his brother was lucky. He should be sending students off at this time.

Picked up a batch.

"Ah Hai, our family has no conditions." Lin Yun said in Hakka dialect. How could he not understand what his brother was thinking.

"Why don't you have any conditions? I'll find a place to sleep at night, and you can sleep at school. Don't you have a place to live?"

Lin Hai also knew what he wanted to do, but he firmly disagreed. Taking it to the brigade headquarters was equivalent to confiscation, so what did it have to do with them?
Lin Yun frowned and said, "What about eating?"

No one in the family can cook decent meals, and the old mother is blind. They usually boil the food with water and mix it with salt, which makes them feel unpalatable.

"Find someone to burn it. Don't worry, leave it to me!" Lin Hai patted his chest and said.

Although the two brothers of the Lin family are from the same mother, they don't look like real brothers to anyone. Lin Yun is a fair-skinned scholar, gentle and elegant, and the members of the brigade at least respect him on the surface.

As for Lin Hai, he has the appearance of a very common seaside person, with dark skin and rough skin, rough skin and thick flesh. Due to working in the sea for many years, he has developed a lumpy body. In addition, he has a bad temper. The young people in the brigade have to shout when they see him. Brother Shenghai.

If his brother hadn't been able to control him, he would have flown into the sky.Lin Yun still felt that it was inappropriate. The conditions of his house were too shabby for entertaining merchants.

"Brother, I took care of things in a crooked way, and now I want to make some money in a serious way. You should take care of it, right?"

Lin Hai suddenly exploded and jumped to his feet: "If you want to do this, I will swim to the other side tomorrow!"

Li Jiankun understood the scene and understood a little bit. Before Lin Yun could speak again, he smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, let's go to your house and stay."

When you go out, finding someone you can trust is far more important than food and accommodation.

"Look, everyone is willing to do it!" Lin Hai was overjoyed.

Lin Yun looked at Li Jiankun and emphasized seriously, saying that his family's conditions were very poor.

"It doesn't matter, we're not here to enjoy it." Li Jiankun waved his hand.

Speaking of this, and because his younger brother started acting stupid again, Lin Yun had no choice, so he turned a corner and led them to his house.

The Lin family has a small gatehouse. When you walk in, you can see a courtyard. Leaning against the courtyard are three gravel bungalows covered with black tiles.

In some old houses, you can see that the wooden beams have become rotten and bent, but they are still clean.

In the courtyard, dried seafood and fish are dried for all ages, which are great things to eat.

"Ayun is back?"

In a bungalow, he found a woman in her 50s who was holding a wooden stick. Li Jiankun took a second look and found that she was blind.

Lin Yun stepped forward, patted his old mother's hand, and explained something in her ear.

The old mother immediately raised her smile, faced the courtyard, and said in Hakka dialect: "Welcome, welcome. The conditions at home are not good, so I am neglecting you."

"You guys sit down for a while first. I'll clean up the room and prepare a big dinner for you in the evening!" Lin Hai said with a smile as he moved the chairs and matza.

Li Jiankun felt that the way he looked at her was like looking at a fat sheep.

Fortunately, there is quite a generation gap between his wealth and the imagination of the poor people of this era.In short, he doesn't care about paying more for food and accommodation, as long as he can live in peace of mind and eat comfortably.

Lin Yun also moved a stool and helped his old mother sit down. There had been no guests at home for a long time. He could see that his mother was very happy. Even if she couldn't see, she wanted to gain popularity and sit with her.

Li Jiankun asked: "Auntie, what are these eyes?"

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. He was a good example to others. He didn't like to make up lies, and he always used a caring tone.

"You're blind from crying."

Fortunately, my mother has already let go of this matter.

"You're blind from crying?" Xiao Wang screamed. This kind of thing has only been seen in novels.

Luna and Xiaolong and Xiaohu next to them also looked surprised. They couldn't imagine what kind of changes they had to encounter to make them cry blindly.

There was no need for Li Jiankun to ask this time. Lin Yun sighed and said: "My father swam to the other side more than ten years ago and there has been no news since then. My mother cried all day long and suffered from eye diseases. We were young at that time and our family had no money. Treat it, and that’s it.”

It turns out that it was because of love, and the five of them, Li Jiankun, suddenly understood.

"Dead, dead." The old woman suddenly patted the back of her hand and said, "I was in the dead sea at that time, and I didn't swim across."

Li Jiankun glanced at Lin Yun, who was silent, and guessed that this matter might not be that simple.However, for the old woman, her husband's death in the sea was undoubtedly the best outcome now.

Otherwise it would be too cruel.

She has cried her eyes out and lost this beautiful world.
