A widower's entertainment

Chapter 9 [Waiting]

When Lin Youcheng actually finished writing the story "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", he really felt relieved. Although he still didn't know when he would finally send out the manuscript and when it would be approved. Lin Youcheng was relieved to receive a reply and when he would receive the royalties.

Lin Youcheng was very excited because he finally finished the manuscript.

Lin Youcheng naturally sent the manuscript to the magazine as soon as possible.

Compared with "Novel Monthly", there is no doubt that "Harvest" and "October" are more literary and more famous, but Lin Youcheng did not choose to submit to "Harvest", but chose "Novel" Monthly News" was also worried that the collection of "Harvest" would place more emphasis on serious literature. Although Lin Youcheng's "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is very touching, he was also worried that it would be rejected by "Harvest" because of his love style.

"Xi'er, dad is going out for a trip and will be back soon. You can take care of your younger brothers and sisters at home."

Lin Youcheng had to go to the post office, so he could only ask Lin Zhaoxi to take care of his younger siblings at home.

"Ok."

Lin Zhaoxi nodded naturally. Although she was a little worried that Lin Youcheng went out to play cards with others again, in her eyes, her father was different recently, and she hoped that his father could continue like this.

Lin Youcheng touched Lin Zhaoxi's head. He had to admit that his eldest daughter was really sensible.

Well, he's really getting used to being a father now.

Lin Youcheng took the wrapped manuscript and rushed directly to the post office. He was not worried about wasting too much time and leaving those carrots at home alone. Especially when the youngest child Lin Zhaole started to make trouble, Lin Zhaoxi would not take care of him at all. No.

There were no accidents. Lin Youcheng sent the manuscript to the post office very smoothly.

If the paper is rejected, he will have no choice but to submit it to another magazine.

All he could do now was wait.

"Youcheng, why are you here?"

Just when Lin Youcheng left the post office, he happened to meet his sister-in-law Fang Mei on the street.

Fang Mei was carrying a basket with a dusty look. When she saw Lin Youcheng, she frowned and asked, "Where are you going at this time? You just left your children at home?"

"I have something to do when I come out."

"What can you do?"

Fang Mei said dissatisfied: "Your elder brother just told me that you have changed some things. Don't go out to play cards with others anymore. Those children are counting on you."

Lin Youcheng knew that although Fang Mei said this in a bad tone, she actually didn't want him to continue fooling around outside. Otherwise, if it were an unrelated person, there would be no need to say such words.

Lin Youcheng knew that he and Fang Mei had had conflicts before because of their separation, and now that Fang Mei could say this to him again, they were still relatives.

"I see."

Lin Youcheng didn't intend to explain, but just nodded in agreement.

When Fang Mei saw Lin Youcheng nodded in agreement honestly, she was also puzzled. If Lin Youcheng's temperament was different in the past, he might have a few words of separation with her, and did not take her sister-in-law seriously at all, but now she does His temperament seems to have really changed a lot.

"Sister-in-law, thank you and brother for that milk."

Fang Mei was a straight-tempered person. When she saw Lin Youcheng actually thanked her, she didn't react for a while, which made her a little embarrassed. After all, she actually had a quarrel with Lin Youcai because of Lin Zhaole's milk order. Several times, after all, there is no such precious doll.

Fang Mei took another look at Lin Youcheng in front of her, and felt that after not seeing her for the past few days, she seemed to be much haggard and older. It seemed that it was not easy for a man to take care of those children by himself. Now Lin Youcheng spoke politely to her, He said: "Well, that was something your elder brother had a hard time finding someone to do. If you want to thank him, just thank your elder brother."

"Thank you, brother, and I also want to thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Youcheng knew in his heart that he could only say thank you verbally now, and the real thank you would have to wait for the results of the later manuscripts.

Fang Mei actually wanted to mention the previous hospital expenses to Lin Youcheng, but now that she heard Lin Youcheng's kind words, she didn't want to mention it. She took out a small jar from the basket she was carrying and handed it to Lin Youcheng. Cheng, said: "This is the dried vegetable made by my mother's family. You can take it home."

"No need, sister-in-law!"

Before Lin Youcheng could refuse, Fang Mei directly thrust the jar into Lin Youcheng's hand and said, "Go back quickly, Xi'er is still a child herself, how can she take care of that little baby."

After saying that, Fang Mei left with her basket.

Lin Youcheng glanced at the dried vegetables that Fang Mei gave him, and then at the back of Fang Mei as she left quickly. He knew that his sister-in-law had a good heart. The reason why there were conflicts before was because she was too incompetent. .

In Lin Youcheng's opinion, even for the sake of his elder brother, he should respect his elder sister-in-law.

Now when I look at the jar in my hand, I can't help but smile.

Lin Youcheng was in a good mood, because he had sent the manuscript and now he got this jar of dried vegetables. Lin Youcheng went directly to the vegetable market and bought a piece of meat. The meat ticket was obtained by his poker friend Zhu Rong.

When Lin Youcheng carried this piece of real, white fat meat home, he instantly excited all the little carrots in the family.

Lin Zhaoqing said excitedly: "Dad, let's eat meat today!"

Lin Youcheng smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I will eat meat today."

Lin Zhaoxi looked at the big white fat meat and couldn't help but swallow it, but she knew that her family's situation was not that good. On this ordinary day, there was no way to eat meat because it was not a festival.

Lin Youcheng noticed Lin Zhaoxi's worried look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was indeed Xi'er who was worrying about the family at such a young age, and said with a smile: "Xi'er, don't worry, there will be more in the future."

Lin Zhaoxi said nothing, but she hoped there would be more.

Because it was cooking meat, the little carrot heads were gathered around the kitchen, and it seemed that just smelling the aroma made them happy.

Lin Youcheng cut off the fattest part and put it into a pot to refine lard. As soon as Lin Youcheng took out the lard, Lin Zhaoqing looked at the oil residue eagerly and said, "I can Do you want to eat?”

"Wait until it cools down."

"Need not!"

Lin Zhaoqing was very anxious, but he still didn't take action directly.

When Lin Youcheng saw that the other carrot heads were looking at each other eagerly, he stuffed a piece of oily residue into each of their mouths. The aroma instantly made several carrot heads shiver with fragrant smell, and they made bleating sounds from their mouths. Extremely intoxicated.

Lin Zhaoxi stared at Lin Zhaoqing's chewing mouth.

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Zhaoxi's naughty look. Sure enough, he was still a child, and he stuffed a piece of grease into Lin Zhaoxi's mouth.

Seeing the intoxicated and happy faces of the children surrounding him, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but smile.

He also felt a hint of happiness at this moment.
