I Just Want To Be a Salted Fish Quietly

cigarette to calm himself down.

As soon as he asked, Wang Hongmei firmly objected: “No!”

“How old do you think you are to even think about smoking? Why don’t you go directly to heaven? Lin Xian, I think you are rushing things.
Do you want us to fight over this for several days and argue day and night? You’re wasting all my efforts in taking care of you.”

Listening to her mother’s endless chatting, Lin Xian curled his lips indifferently and then turned to Lin Guodong.

Lin Guodong’s character can be described in two words: Buddha man.

That’s right, Buddha man! (T/N: ‘Buddha man’ is an internet buzzword.
The main meaning of this is to refer to someone who has no desires, no sadness or joy, having an absolute calmness and peace of mind.
As for the further meaning, it means someone who pursues a peaceful and simple way of living, wanting to do most things independently and at your own rhythm.)

Lives a simple life, not being too keen on acquiring too much money, just enough.

There were several opportunities to expand their existing business by opening other branches, but all were rejected by Lin Guodong.
Had he accepted such opportunities, the assets of the family should have doubled several times by now.

This kind of character of Lin Guodong had led to adopting a more relaxed approach to Lin Xian’s growth and education.

So long as you don’t do bad things, and you don’t break the law, you can do whatever you want to do.

It can be said that Lin Xian has also acquired such character from his father so he can keep his composure being faced with the money brought by the system.

Sure enough, his father did not disappoint Lin Xian.

After clearing his throat a few times, he took out a cigarette and handed it over to Lin Xian saying, “Xiao Xian is an adult now, and he is about to go to university.
It is not much of a big deal to smoke a cigarette.
After all, he is still young.
But you must keep in mind that smoking is bad for your health, so you should smoke less.”

“Even though you know that smoking is bad for your health, you still do it every day!” Wang Hongmei snorted.

Obviously, women are very attentive to details.

Lin Guodong was immediately unhappy when he heard his wife’s words.
“What? I only have this hobby? Do you still want to take it?”

Indeed, Lin Guodong has the 3 standards of a good man.
He doesn’t gamble or drink and doesn’t hang out.
His only hobby is smoking. (T/N: 1.
Be enterprising! (stable income) 2.
Be responsible! (To wife and children) 3.
Be filial! (to both parents) )

Seeing that Lin Guodong was going on again with his trump card, Wang Hongmei could only sigh and say: “Lin Guodong, you always say that to justify your wrongs.”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Lin Xian looked at his parents’ arguing at this time, which made him smile, having a feeling of warmth in his heart.

There isn’t much pressure on himself.
Although he is not a top-notch student, he had passed the college examination in a second-tier university.
Although he comes from a not super-rich family, there aren’t any issues with the finances.
After graduating from college, he doesn’t have to worry about his future.

And now, there is also that system which shall provide him money every day.

Influenced by Lin Guodong’s Buddhist mentality, Lin Xian felt that it is enough that he be a salted fish quietly.

He will buy a couple of properties, pick a few fancy sports cars, travel leisurely, make fun with girls, and do whatever he likes.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh and say, “Sigh! The life of the rich is so modest and boring!”

…

The restaurant is usually busy in the morning and evening, but not much in the afternoon.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Guodong went to the hardware store near them to brag as he smokes a cigarette in his mouth.
Wang Hongmei occupies the cash register to count the earnings for the day.

Lin Xian pretended to be busy with his phone as he was looking at the system interface and was ready to open the privilege package.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to the host for opening the 【LV1 Privilege Gift package】 and gaining skills.”
