When an old man dies, there will be grief! After the funeral is done, the grief will slowly fade away. Occasionally, when I think of it, what I think of is the kindness of the old lady.
When it comes to being close to the old lady, Yulian and Yurong should be even more so. Originally a sensitive person who didn’t like to communicate with others, Yucai almost grew up by his parents’ side and never lived in the countryside with the old lady.
When it comes to a child as big as Jin Mingming and Jin Mace, it is even less likely that there will be much affection. Just like Jin Mingming, the holiday will pass every year. The old lady must be very good to the children, but the children are young and they cannot get along day and night.
People, their acceptance of feelings is limited.
The child knows that there is no family member left. Then - then there is no more.
However, Lin Yutong felt that after the old lady disappeared, did it have some impact on Lin Shuangchao? Almost every night these days, Lin Shuangchao would call. In the past few days, he had been inspecting down below, but if there was a phone where he lived, he would
Called again.
Lin Yutong thought at first that he was asking Fourth Master to talk about something, but it turned out that it was not the case, it was simply a call to him.
What's going on? Don't accept the old lady's sudden death?
But a person who has already entered old age has lost his mother, so why is this so?
When Lin Yutong received the call, he really didn't know what to say. It seemed that Lin Shuangchao didn't need to start the conversation himself. He started by talking about the topic he wanted to talk about, which was all about the past, "...you and your grandma were in the country. Now,
Come to think of it, I haven't even asked you in detail..."
Lin Yutong said, "The brigade took good care of us, and we actually lived quite well! My grandma was busy delivering water when the farm was busy, and that was all. The three of us got a lot of work points. For girls,
We didn’t eat much, but we were full after eating. Compared with other educated youths who went to the countryside to remote places, we really lived a much better life. Later, after knowing the life of most educated youths, you see, even my second generation
My sister never said a word of complaint again. It can be seen that my mother’s arrangement at that time was right! Of the four children, we could only keep one. The youngest one stayed with her and arranged for us to return to our hometown and live under the care of our relatives.
It's very good. It's just that my mother didn't expect that Yucai's idea was so big, and she went to join the army. She didn't leave me by her side, which I never complained about! When Yucai was young, even he
I didn’t know that he would join the army. If everyone knew, I think you would definitely keep me by your side..."
Lin Shuangchao sighed and looked at a newspaper on the bedside. It was a provincial daily. This newspaper was already published half a month ago, but he always carried it with him. There was a small report in this newspaper: a well-known female writer
committed suicide.
Writers are indeed a particularly sensitive group.
When he saw this report, he was frightened and had nightmares night after night. Especially when he thought about the things Xiaotong wrote in those years, how could he not be afraid?
So on the phone he said: "No matter what happens, you have to tell me. If Sihai treats you well, this is the best! If Sihai treats you badly, dad has plenty of ways to deal with him!"
Okay, got it.
When she hung up the phone, she didn't even know why Lin Shuangchao was so sensitive now.
The fourth master sighed, "These days, he has started calling me during the day. He only takes three to five minutes each time, but he always calls me!"
What did you say?
"Talking about private life! They say that if a man has money, he should keep himself clean..."
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, and she felt uneasy. There was something wrong with Lao Lin's mentality!
The fourth master was also worried, "Call home and see if there's anything special?"
Wu Xiuzhen was full of words and wanted to speak out: "Your dad... now my mother-in-law, Xu, your eldest sister and second sister are both here. There is nothing wrong with Yucai's daily training in the army, but he doesn't talk about it often! But
He talks to me about you almost every day. When I went to inspect this time, he got angry with me, saying that I am a mother and I am fine now, so I should talk to you more... Do you think he is being unreasonable? No.
He was the one who used the public phone bill, and now he is the one asking you to call more! Isn’t this sincerely looking for trouble? Those who don’t know think I am partial, only favoring daughters in the city and not looking down on those in the country!”
She laughed to herself, "But in the conscience of heaven and earth, in recent years, most of the food and food used at home have come from you! Who doesn't know that your father has a daughter who is a great writer, and she has published an anthology, and she gets a lot of money a year for the copyright.
, the family is not short of money at all..."
Then this is a bit of a problem.
Wu Xiuzhen spoke louder, "Not only did she talk about me, but she also talked about your second sister. She said that your second sister only knew how to work hard every day and didn't even care about her own sister. Your second sister was scolded and she didn't know why.
. Ask your dad how someone like her, who earns more than a hundred dollars a month, cares about her rich and oily sister. Your dad almost got annoyed by asking her!"
Lin Yutong's heart was pounding. This state was really wrong. She asked as calmly as possible, "How long have you been like this?"
Wu Xiuzhen said, "Just this period of time! Your grandma is gone, and your dad didn't like to talk for a few days when he came back. But now, he talks a lot. What a good-tempered person he used to be.
He gets angry easily now. I'm afraid your grandma's incident may have had some influence on him."
But it’s not as simple as it sounds! When the son is gone, the son is silent and a little sad when he comes back. This is normal. He cannot show it outside. When he is alone or at home, he returns to the family and thinks of his mother. This is
Normal reaction.
But it’s wrong to get angry easily. It’s not a work problem, so what kind of problem do you think this is?
Lin Yutong hung up the phone and called Yurong again. Yurong complained as soon as he picked up the phone, "Dad is so weird now. He won't leave your side. We were still thinking that the old lady was gone and the house was deserted. We were afraid that it was dad."
I feel unhappy. So my eldest sister and I alternately go home during this period. As long as he doesn't go out for inspection, as long as he comes home, either I am at home or my eldest sister is at home. What's the result? I keep mentioning you. If it weren't for regular physical examinations
, I even suspected that there was something wrong with Dad. What's going on? It's okay if the child is here! He is very stubborn. If you can't see anyone, you probably miss him! Otherwise, you and Sihai come back often with the child on weekends.
…”
Hearing this made him even more frightened.
Fourth Master frowned and asked Tongtong: "...Isn't it a physical problem?"
Lin Yutong was very sure, "I took my pulse secretly, and my health is very good. It's a pulse sign of longevity!"
"That means... there is a psychological problem?" But the probability of the person in that seat having a psychological problem is the same as the probability of a hemp rope being threaded into an embroidery needle. It feels like it is absolutely impossible.
Lin Yutong was at a loss.
How to do this? The fourth master said, "Otherwise, after the Chinese New Year, go to the provincial capital in advance. You and your child can live there!"
The factory over there hasn't been built yet, so it can't be stopped here. The key is that Fourth Master doesn't want to stop it completely. The core will be moved there in the future, but parts can be made here. This is how he arranged it. With this factory here, people around
You can also find live money. The arrangements at the factory are very troublesome.
The fourth master said, "Sooner or later, we are going to give up here. I just want to give up and see if the person I am looking for can take on the responsibility."
That’s okay!
After the matter was decided, Fourth Master and Tongtong had to discuss with Jin Yin and Yang Shuhui, which meant that they would completely move to the provincial capital after the new year and before the children started school.
Jinyin was very willing, but if it was really for the sake of the children, he shouldn't have kept it. He wasn't very old, so he couldn't take care of the whole family? Besides, there were Damin and Sanling.
Yang Shuhui held her grandson in her arms, and her granddaughter lay on her back affectionately. She rocked back and forth, taking the two children with her. She said simply, "Don't think we are not happy, we are happy! That place is
A place that ordinary people can enter? Xiaotong teaches children to memorize every day. What does it say in the book? Mencius’s mother moved three times... Our family can memorize gold and silver. Former Meng’s mother, choose a neighbor... and who else can buy a neighbor with a thousand pieces of gold?
...That's not all the truth in the book. I haven't read that many books, but I also know that children learn from each other. They learn to become what kind of people they are around... I follow
Your dad understands it."
The fourth master said, "Although we live there, we have to have a house of our own. When the house is ready, you and your dad can live there whenever you want. The children can always see each other every ten and a half months."
…”
Okay! Anything is fine.
Lin Yutong also asked her cousin to stay at home for the time being, "Someone has to take care of such a big yard over there. I will move there later. If I want to come back, I can come back at any time..."
They explained a lot, and the Fourth Master made arrangements for outside matters. But after the Chinese New Year, the Fourth Master and Tongtong took their children and settled in the provincial capital.
The room had been tidied up a long time ago, and there were only the old couple and the boy from the Yurong family in the house. On the first floor, Lin Shuangchao and Wu Xiuzhen lived in a room and a study room. The old lady's room was packed out and the boy from the Yurong family lived there.
The second floor was completely empty, with a room reserved for Yucai. The fourth master and Tongtong occupied the master bedroom on the second floor, and the two children each had a room. There was also an attic upwards on the second floor. The attic was divided into two small rooms.
The small room used to be a utility room. Now the debris has been cleared away. One room is for the nanny and the other is a guest room.
Fourth Master and Tongtong first looked at the master bedroom. The master bedroom was very large. It was a suite with an independent balcony and bookshelves and desks. There was a small inner room that was decorated as a study room for Tongtong.
To be honest, the layout is very good.
Wu Xiuzhen laughed, "Your dad arranged it himself. I really think your dad is really old..." Lin Yutong felt uneasy, fearing that Lao Lin had a mental problem.
Maybe he knew she was back, because Lao Lin came back very early today, just after get off work. He laughed loudly when he came back, and saw Jin Mingming and Jin Kai playing in the yard, so he came back carrying one in his arms and the other in his arms.
Yes! Lao Lin felt relieved, thinking that if he could live here, he could enlighten him at any time! He might not have figured it out why.
As for Lin Yutong, when he went to bring tea to Lao Lin after dinner, he accidentally caught a glimpse of "The Collected Works of San Mao" on Lao Lin's bookshelf.
Why does Lao Lin have time to read this?
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly froze, as if Sanmao had committed suicide not long ago.
Sanmao is a female writer, and so is she.
She was originally a literary young man, and the words she left behind were very depressing.
Therefore, all Lao Lin's anxiety was not because of anything else, but because he was worried that his literary daughter was too sensitive and would go astray.
She stopped and looked at Lao Lin, "Dad!"
Um?
Lin Yutong laughed, "I'm writing a historical novel."
oh?
"I've been reading history recently. After taking a trip through the magnificent history, I feel that my mind has never been broader..."
Lao Lin's eyes were red, and then he said "Hello"...
