"Mom, it's cold outside, come inside." Chen Yulian wiped away her tears and helped the old lady walk into the courtyard.

Lin Yue followed behind.

He knew why Chen Yulian was like this, because she felt guilty.

Not only because of the bad incident with Lin Yutang, their family became a joke in front of the people in Chenjia Village, but also because of the old lady’s injury. More than two months ago, Chen Jintu’s daughter-in-law was gossiping behind his back, mocking Chen Yulian for being so proactive in the first place, and would rather

Such a shameless thing as using raw rice to make cooked rice forced her parents to agree to her marriage to Lin Yutang. A few years ago, everyone thought that she would follow Lin Yutang to Hangzhou to live the life of a city dweller. Everyone was envious of her. In the end, what happened

?It can only be said that rural people are rural people, and the destiny of the countryside is the destiny of the countryside. There will be no good results if you climb high branches.

The old lady was so angry that she took Chen Yulian to Hangzhou to ask for an explanation. Her daughter refused to go. The old lady became stubborn and left alone. Unexpectedly, she fell off the tractor not far from the village. The villagers took her to the hospital.

Check, the leg bone is broken.

Young people still talk about breaking their muscles and bones for a hundred days, let alone an old man in his 60s who has not been able to walk normally for almost three months now. The best he can do is use a stool as a support and move forward half a step, half a step.

I don't know how long it took to walk from the house to the alley, and how much effort it took.

If Chen Yulian can remain indifferent under such circumstances, is she still a human being?

Chen Jinzhu was also afraid of being accused of being unfilial, so he took the old lady's other arm, and the brother and sister helped her back into the house.

Lin Yue did not follow him. He stood at the door and looked at the small courtyard. There were two side rooms on the east side for storing debris, plows, rakes, sickles, hoes and so on. Oh, there was also a machine that the old lady used when she was young.

Weaving looms and spinning wheels were reluctant to be discarded and were all piled inside. A semi-open kitchen was built with asbestos tiles and bamboo poles near the corner of the main house. Below was a stove that was darkened by fire. There was a kitchen on the west side of the yard.

The pig house is made of blue bricks. However, since my grandfather died, no pigs have been raised. In recent years, it has been used by Chen Jinzhu’s wife Hu Li to feed chickens. The egg production is good, but most of them are sold by her at the market.

, the opportunity for my family to eat fried vegetables with eggs... Once a week is good. The old lady once told Chen Yulian that her daughter-in-law was not like this before, and the original owner of this body once saw brothers Chen Hong and Chen Ping hiding in the house.

Eating boiled eggs, it is obvious that Hu Li did this deliberately because she disliked Chen Yulian and moved back home.

Lin Yue recalled the year when the educated youth returned to the city. Hu Li had always fawned over her sister-in-law, not to mention often giving eggs to eat. When Chen Yulian was hospitalized with appendicitis, she killed chickens and made soup without frowning. Unexpectedly, to this day...

…

It can only be said that the conflict between sister-in-law and sister-in-law has existed since ancient times. Hu Li's attitude change is very snobbish, but it is understandable.

"Mom, don't do this again. The doctor at the health center said that you are old and you need to recover slowly."

"The doctor also said that my mother is weak and needs to take good supplements, but she is reluctant to ask my sister-in-law to kill a chicken and make soup for her. You always said to discuss it with her, but it has been so long and there is no result. Don't be too big when you were in the hospital.

It’s a big deal.”

"Yulian, I asked you to say everything. You have to rush to the market to buy. Why wait for me to say it?"

"If you... are afraid of your wife, just say so."

"Your sister-in-law raised the chickens."

"Mom is her mother-in-law."

"It's not because of you that Mom fell off the tractor."

"..."

Chen Yulian had nothing to say, because this was her weakness.

Lin Yue listened to the argument coming from the room and didn't know what to say. Chen Yulian had no income, and all the land allocated in the village was planted by Chen Jinzhu. He could only rely on collecting shoe soles, boiling sugar for the villagers, and going to the Chinese medicine shop in the next village.

Start by making some pocket money

, Chen Jinzhu was under the control of Hu Li. His wife told him that he did not dare to go east. The old lady lay in bed for more than two months. If she wanted to supplement the disease, she ate a meal of pork ribs and drank half a bowl.

The bone soup was sent by Chen Jinshui to Qiao Gu.

In order to prevent the brother and sister from becoming more and more tense as they talked, he turned around and walked into the main room.

There are four rooms, the second one from the east is the main room, the first one is Chen Yulian's room, his and the old lady's room, the third one from the east is Chen Ping and Chen Hong's room, and the innermost room is naturally Chen Jinzhu and Hu Li's bedroom.

.

When he entered the house, he noticed a face flashing behind the glass of the door of the westmost room. It seemed that Hu Li was not asleep and knew that the brother and sister were quarreling about the old lady.

In the TV series, when Chen Jinshui pretended to sell a house to Chen Jianghe to pay off his debts, Chen Jinzhu said that whether or not to buy a house depends on his wife's wishes, which shows Hu Li's status in the Chen family.

When the old man was alive, he could still suppress Chen Jinzhu and his wife, but now there is only an ignorant old lady who broke her leg. The situation of the Chen family... Lin Yue shook his head.

When Chen Ping saw him looking into the innermost room, he got off the bed and closed the door to the main room.

Lin Yue ignored him, pushed open the door of the old lady's room and walked in.

The two people, who were fighting over a chicken, lost their momentum.

The old lady, who was leaning on the quilt and panting slightly, said, "Zhuzhu, if you don't go back to your room to sleep, Hu Li will scold you again."

Chen Jinzhu said nothing, turned and left the room.

The old lady sighed. After living under the same roof for twenty years, she had long been accustomed to this henpecked son.

After Lin Yue entered the room, he stared at the mirror hanging on the east wall. There were glass mirror plaques on the top and sides of the rectangular mirror. On the left, it said "Carry forward the patriotism", on the right it said "Maintain collective interests", and on the horizontal side, it read "Strive for strength".

, under the mirror is a cabinet with a glass sliding door. There is a tea tray on the cabinet, a teapot and four tea bowls inside, and two bamboo skin thermoses inside.

Well, it was very chronological, and it reminded him of his life in "The Human World".

It feels like it's been a long time.

He turned his head to the north wall again. The most eye-catching thing were two photo frames hanging side by side. Inside were photos taken when the old man was alive. The upper right corner of the left photo frame was empty. The wedding photos of Chen Yulian and Lin Yutang were originally placed there. The old lady was worried about her daughter.

Touched by the scene, Chen Hong was asked to take out the photo.

Dang~dang~dang~

The crisp bell rang.

He looked at the old-fashioned Seagull wall clock beside the bed. The glass underneath had not been cleaned for a long time and was stained with dust.

"Lin Yue."

Chen Yulian called him because she found that her son was behaving very strangely. Looking here and there, he seemed to be full of... curiosity about the furnishings at home? She didn't know if she should use this word to describe it. In short, it was very abnormal.

And just now in the alley, he actually contradicted Chen Jinzhu, which had never happened before.

"What happened to you today?"

"I'm fine."

"You come with me."

Chen Yulian looked at the old woman sighing by the bedside and called him into the yard.

The crescent moon hanging in the sky disappeared, and just for a moment, it was half a degree colder outside than before.

Chen Yulian crossed her arms.

Lin Yue pulled off the twill cotton jacket on the clothesline and put it on her body.

Chen Yulian's expression changed, and she was surprised by her son's loving behavior. You must know that ever since she broke up with Lin Yutang and took him back to Chenjia Village, the child has become very depressed. Apart from going to school, eating and sleeping, he does nothing else every day.

I don't care if I ask, but today... I really feel like a different person.

"You also heard the conversation I had with your uncle in the alley just now. I don't agree with his idea, but I think something is right. After this year, you will be 15 years old, and you should learn to be sensible."

"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Yulian was surprised by his straightforwardness, and paused before saying: "From now on, no matter who persuades you, or how much money people in the village make from following Ji Fei, you can never give up the idea of ​​studying."

This is true, but the prerequisite is that ordinary people come from ordinary families. As for Lin Yue... academic qualifications are meaningless to him, and in the early 1980s, the most important thing was to dare to fight and be able to toss, just like for more than ten years

Later, I bought a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen with my eyes closed------How many college students work hard all their lives but cannot afford to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Or there is a saying called One Fate, Two Luck and Three Feng Shui.

"I think what my uncle said makes sense, but..."

Before he could finish what he said, Chen Yulian got angry.

"What makes sense! What do you want to do? You didn't study at a young age and went out to fool around? Have you forgotten how your father taught you before? Reading can help you understand humanity and distinguish right from wrong..."

After saying this, her voice became softer and softer, and her confidence became less and less. She probably thought of the bad things Lin Yutang had done. When she first met her, she spoke so nicely, was so cultured, cultivated, and talented that she was fascinated by her.

Fascinated, what now? Did he do what he said back then?

Lin Yue said: "It's never too late to learn, but luck is fleeting."

Chen Yulian didn't realize how a child who had just entered the first grade of junior high school could say such a thing. The logic didn't make sense. She was more concerned about her son's talking back behavior.

"You...you...you make me so angry."

At the end of her sentence, she turned her head away and secretly wiped away her tears.

Lin Yue could understand her mood. He had a big quarrel with his brother just now. When he saw the old lady getting angry because of her brother and sister, she felt guilty and remorseful again. Now even her own son didn't listen to her. She

Can it not collapse?

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to do business with Jifei. That's settled, right?"

Lin Yue said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was: Do I need to do business with Ji Fei? No.

When Chen Yulian heard what he said, her face looked better.

"You are a grown up child, and it's time for Mom to tell you some things. Although you haven't asked, Mom knows, and you really want to know how Mom talked to him in the first place."
