"Old Lin!" Fan Yunqing stood up, "I know you were thinking about my face and didn't force my brother to ask in front of so many people. So many comrades were also thinking about my face and didn't ask.
Too in-depth investigation. But I...I will ask clearly about this matter. I have to give an explanation to you and the organization. My brother's role here should not be very honorable. This only requires
Anyone who cares can tell. I'm going back to Fan's house. I want to talk to my brother alone. My mother, eldest sister and the children will live at home..."
"Mom, I'll go back with you." Lin Xiaoxing ran over, took Fan Yunqing's hand, and turned away.
This action made Old Mrs. Lin so angry that Lin Yutong put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed it, so that the old lady did not have an attack.
Before Lin Baichuan could say anything, Lin Xiaoxing pulled her mother away, shouting as she went out: "Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! Drive us back to Fan Mansion."
"Let's go." Lin Baichuan stood up and said, "The car is a bus, can anyone use it casually?"
Lin Xiaoxing shook her mother's arm: "Mom, look at my dad..."
Fan Yunqing patted his daughter: "Your dad is right. Buses cannot be used for private use."
After walking far away, Lin Xiaoxing said: "If you can't use it for personal use, why are you driving to pick up his wife and children in the country today? It's not unusual to have a wife in the country. You see more of them in the city. But they all pay a little money a year."
I can get rid of it. But why did they come to my dad like this? They didn’t just want my dad to be an official, but they came here to be an official’s wife. They didn’t even look at it, and all the dirt fell off. My dad
I don’t mind being embarrassed either…”
Before he finished speaking, Fan Yunqing slapped his daughter on the face: "Shut up! What are you talking about? That's your breast, the mother who gave birth to your father. You just can't call the other mother mother.
, you have to call me aunt, or even if it doesn’t work, you have to call me aunt. That is the person who grew up with your father. To your father, they are relatives. And those three...brothers and sisters...you give me
To be honest, their relationship with you is closer than your cousin’s relationship with you..."
Lin Xiaoxing covered her face. She didn't listen to a word Fan Yunqing said. She just stared at her mother, her eyes full of tears but stubbornly refused to let them fall. She shouted to her mother: "My uncle and aunt."
You haven't even laid a finger on me, why do you hit me? You didn't want me when I was born, you didn't care about me when I grew up, and now you come out to take care of me, and you hit me? Why? Are you such a mother-in-law?
"
After saying that, he ignored Fan Yunqing, turned around and ran away.
Fan Yunqing covered his forehead, his head hurting. As he walked, he felt his head was in chaos.
As soon as I entered Fan's house, I heard my daughter's voice, crying and sobbing.
She walked into the living room, and before she even opened her mouth, her sister-in-law said: "...The child has only been in your hands for a few days, and you beat the child. Are you such a mother?"
"Sister-in-law." Fan Yunqing sat over and glanced helplessly at her daughter who was carrying her: "This child has been spoiled by you. You didn't hear how unpleasant her words were. I am a mother, and I heard everything.
She got angry. If her father heard this, he would be so angry. You said she just came from the country and you haven't seen her for more than ten years. She doesn't show her nose or face to her elders. This is the case in our family.
Tutor? Originally, her father couldn’t stand her behavior, but now that she’s acting like this, won’t he be even more angry?”
"Is he angry? Why is he angry?" Sister-in-law Fan frowned, "Yes! He is a master now | grown up, a high official! He is no longer the wanted criminal back then? What's the matter? Then he can fall out.
You don’t recognize me anymore? You have to be conscientious as a human being!”
"Why are you talking about conscience? I have said that what happened back then was all because of me! Why can't I explain it clearly?" Fan Yunqing stood up and looked around, "Okay, I won't tell you.
No matter what, you can’t understand. I asked my brother, where is my brother?”
Sister-in-law Fan glared and slapped Fan Yunqing on the back, "You still have to tell me about this! What happened because of you? Has this been confirmed? Isn't this all your guess? Besides, forget it
You said something unintentionally... but did you mean to harm him? No! Did you know in advance that your teacher was a traitor? No! After all, you called your teacher and went to find your teacher
, it’s not because of your organization. What you did back then was to put your head in your belt. The danger was expected, and that time was just an accident! An accident that no one wants! Right?
?Why do you have to take the blame on you? Whoever settles such old accounts is being unreasonable. It can be said clearly that what happened back then was not anyone's fault. He can't blame you! On the contrary, we saved him
Lin Baichuan, this is a fact! When I brought him back, he was bleeding all over his body. How did he save him? Do you know how much risk your brother took to get him a box of penicillin? The drug control at that time
, you don’t know how strict it is. Let alone a box, even if you only get one, you will be shot. Just to save him, a box of medicine is worth three small yellow croakers on the black market. This thing can’t be called
It’s better for you to rest assured if others know it. Your brother is such a man, and he went out to do this. When he came back, he was so frightened that he was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water. It’s not like you don’t know this. What happened to me during those two years?
, it’s all about being on tenterhooks and trembling. It’s enough for me and your brother to have a communist in the family, and you bring one back later. We’ve raised you so big, you can only do nothing but make trouble. That’s it, I and you
Have I ever laid a finger on you? Are you going to hit your child today just for a few words?"
As he said that, he couldn't help wiping away his tears, "Yes! The world is different now. Being rich has become a sin. But back then, if our family had not been rich, we could spend money to buy medicines and block doctors.
Mouth, can Lin Baichuan survive to this day?"
"Sister-in-law!" Fan Yunqing said: "I know, I know it was not easy back then. I know it was difficult for you to live in fear these years... But no matter how difficult it is, why would you tell such a lie? The hometown you came to find back then
He has no grievances against the Lin family, so why would he lie? He also said that all Baichuan’s family members were dead. There were tombstones, and they were taking pictures..."
"That's not what your brother meant, it was what I ordered Lao Liu to do." Sister-in-law Fan turned her face and looked at her, "If Lin Baichuan wants to blame her, just blame me. If he hadn't said that, he would have flown away long ago. Our children have been cleared
An innocent eldest girl, want to be his second wife? Our Fan family is also a reputable family, and we can’t afford to embarrass this person. Even if others don’t know, we know it in our own hearts, and it makes me panic just thinking about it. You are me
I was brought up by your brother. How can we not know your temperament? Do you care about him? We are not blind, we can see. Since you were young, your brother and I will give you everything you like.
.We had no children in the early years, and you were the only little girl. My sister-in-law regards you as her daughter-in-law."
Yes! My niece is only one and a half years older than Xiaoxing.
"But sister-in-law, I care about him, but he doesn't care about me?" Fan Yunqing shook his head: "What is all this fuss about now? People from my hometown are here, and now my benefactors cannot turn into enemies. How do you want me to face Baichuan?"
, how do you go out and be a good person?"
Sister-in-law Fan said: "One is a country wife, and now she is half an old woman. You are young, beautiful, well-educated, and have been with him for more than ten years. Why can't you compare to a country woman?"
What? He, Lin Baichuan, is blind."
Fan Yunqing waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, people are different."
"All men are the same." Sister-in-law Fan said, "Listen to my sister-in-law and live a good life. We will never leave this marriage."
"Why can't they divorce?" Lin Xiaoxing, who had been listening attentively on the side, said: "Their marriage is a marriage with a purpose. It is a marriage with a purpose. Didn't Marx say that a marriage without love is an immoral marriage.
Their union is not only immoral without love, but also cheating and concealing all kinds of immoral things. Why can't we divorce such a thoroughly immoral marriage?"
What does this say?
Sister-in-law Fan was held in her stomach for a long time, and she said: "You kid, you just talk nonsense about what you know. How many books have you read now? Besides, can you compare now with the past? Why is it immoral?
Don't say go back a few years, let's just say these two years. As long as a person with some status has a wife at home and a wife outside, isn't this kind of thing rare? People of the Western style don't pursue some kind of freedom.
What is equality? Let alone men, there are Western-style women who get married and have children and then fall in love with other men. Isn’t this what you call the pursuit of love? Is this moral? "
As he said that, he looked at Fan Yunqing again: "You, the Communist Party, are against arranged marriages, aren't you? It's not just one or two people who divorced their country wives. This is after all what you advocate, right? He, Lin Baichuan, that country man
My wife is a child bride. Their marriage is a feudal arranged marriage. It should not be supported. In this case, why should you be the one getting divorced?"
"I can't tell you clearly." Fan Yunqing was a little irritated and simply got up and walked out.
"What are you doing?" Sister-in-law Fan asked, "It's already dinner time, don't you want to eat?"
Fan Yunqing waved his hand: "I have to go back. I have to explain these things frankly to the organization and Lao Lin. As for what happens in the future, let's talk about it later." After saying that, he pulled Lin Xiaoxing, "Get up and go back with me. Your grandma is here.
, No matter what, if you treat the elderly like this, you are uneducated."
Lin Xiaoxing looked at her aunt. Sister-in-law Fan couldn't bear to keep her, but just as she was about to stay, Fan Yunqing turned her face and said, "Sister-in-law, I can't be spoiled anymore."
Sister-in-law Fan looked at her niece helplessly, and then said to her sister-in-law: "Do you think you are losing your temper?" She pulled Fan Yunqing, "Go back and think about what my sister-in-law said. Divorce is a big deal... Besides, now
Our Fan family are capitalists, even if they are enlightened capitalists. But capitalists are capitalists. Your brother is invited every day. The workers have established a union and are starting to make trouble. They have also sent representatives to negotiate with your brother.
.I don’t understand anything about wages and management. The general meaning is that you want a salary increase, benefits, and fair treatment. After all, you are the master of the family. You said you are getting divorced at this time...
Yunqing, my sister-in-law has never asked you for anything. But now, your brother is no longer the young brother who could go shopping for medicine for Lin Baichuan. He is also old and his health is not good. His blood pressure is high.
There is also coronary heart disease. You said that if something happens to you, will your brother suffer? In the future, what else will our family rely on? What should we do in the future? You can think about these things, okay?
?You are not a little girl anymore, you can’t act impulsively. When you started your revolution, your brother and I didn’t stop you. We didn’t even blame you, we pampered you and pampered you. Now, my sister-in-law is like this
This is probably the only family that needs to beg you for the rest of my life. Look at the face of an old sister-in-law, but don’t get divorced because of confusion, okay?”
Fan Yunqing looked at her sister-in-law, who had gray hair on her head, and felt uncomfortable. She nodded slightly: "I understand, sister-in-law."
On the way back, Fan Yunqing took his reluctant daughter and said earnestly, "It won't do you any harm to have a good relationship with the brothers and sisters here. This way, your dad will also be happy..."
"Are you tired like this?" Lin Xiaoxing said: "You only think about whether he is happy or not. Why don't you think about whether he cares whether you are happy or not? If he really cares about you, he won't ask such a big family.
I took it home without even asking a question. Mom, what’s the point of such a marriage?”
Fan Yunqing turned his face and looked at his daughter, "You have caught up with the good times and have new demands for love. But for mom and dad, living is better than anything else. Mom has seen more dead people than living people..." said
Then, she stretched out her hand and touched her daughter's face, "I'm telling you, you may not understand. I don't expect you to understand. My mother hopes that in the future, my daughter will meet someone she likes.
, and this person also happens to like you."
"I will!" Lin Xiaoxing chuckled, raising her chin slightly, "I will definitely do it."
The mother and daughter talked and laughed and walked back. Fan Yunqing comforted the child while thinking about it in his heart. How to face this matter? He couldn't even open his mouth to tell anyone.
When they arrived near the camp, Lin Xiaoxing felt that her mother was walking slower and slower. When she turned her face and looked around, she realized that her face had completely turned pale.
"Mom!" She was frightened, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me?"
Fan Yunqing forced a smile, and just as he was about to speak, his vision went dark and he fell down.
"Ah..." Lin Xiaoxing screamed in fright, and then hurriedly helped people while shouting: "Someone...come...help..."
The Lin family has no idea what happened to Fan Yunqing. Of course, no one wants to do it in advance.
Mrs. Lin looked at her son with a look of disgust: "You are an idiot. What I regret most these years is letting you study. Do you think that if you were at home well, you would be able to do what you are doing now?"
That's not what they said.
But Lin Baichuan, who was sitting in front of my mother, still had a silly smile on his face: "Yes! It's all my fault."
The old lady was helpless, but after all she felt sorry for her son. Someone couldn't ask just now, and now she was the only one left with her family, so she directly reached out and lifted up her son's clothes: "Please tell me where are the injuries?"
How dare I let my mother see such an injury?
He quickly interrupted and said, "Is the child still here? Save some face for me as a father."
The old lady felt distressed and scolded the young woman over and over in her heart, but she cooperated with her son and did not ask further questions.
Mother and son only talked to each other about their experiences over the years.
While they were talking, there was a noise outside. A high-pitched female voice shouted: "Mr. Lin, come out and see what Xiao Fan has become..."
what does it mean?
What's going on?
Fan Yunqing was carried back. She fainted near the military camp and was taken to the military hospital.
The doctor diagnosed: hypoglycemia, hypotension, and some asthma.
Hypoglycemia and hypotension are okay, but asthma... "I haven't had it for so many years, why did it happen again?"
Lin Baichuan looked at Fan Yunqing who was carried in and put on the bed, and asked Lin Xiaoxing who was standing aside, "How did you commit this crime?"
"Are you still asking?" Lin Xiaoxing cried, "My mother has been with you for so many years, and she stopped when you said she didn't want to. She was stimulated and too nervous, so she did it."
The people who came to see him off were probably female cadres who were very familiar with Fan Yunqing. Most of these people were also the family members of the leaders of this hospital.
This one said: "Old Lin, Xiao Fan has not had it easy these past few years."
The one said: "After so many years of gunfire and bullets, she didn't expect it to be like this. You see what happened. If you have something to say, talk it over, and solve it properly. There is no problem that cannot be solved. But Xiao Fan's
You still have to consider your physical condition. As you know about asthma, it’s hard to find medicine. If it’s not good, your life will be at risk. You said that we have survived these years, so we can’t die because of this.
.This is victory. You said this..."
And the one with fierce words: "You are fighting outside, do you know how difficult life is for us women in the rear? You are so frightened. When there is a war, you can't sleep all night long. Xiao Fan is leading a medical team
Those who go to the front line are afraid that you will be injured, but also think that if you are injured, she will be able to carry you back. You are husband and wife, comrades-in-arms, and comrades! Even if there is no love between husband and wife, are you treating your comrades too much?
A little more indifferent."
"That's it." A tall woman in military uniform said with a cold look on her face, "After a man wins a war, he wants to change his wife when he comes back. He uses his original wife to force away his wife who followed him to the battlefield, and then what? He has the original wife? The original wife.
How many can stay in the army? When the first wife leaves home, it will be different after that. Find a young and beautiful one, and then oppose and oppose arranged marriages..."
What are these words?!
"Liu Ying!" The short, fat woman who had been silent for a long time started to speak as she heard what she said became more and more outrageous. "What are you talking about? This is to help others to break up a fight, not to ask you to use the topic to take advantage of others.
I want to vent my family’s dissatisfaction!” After saying that, he turned his face and explained to the livid old lady: “Don’t be angry, something happened to her family, and she felt unhappy. She is straight-forward and can’t speak...”
When Mrs. Lin was about to speak, she was stopped by Chang Qiuyun. Chang Qiuyun stood up expressionlessly: "They are all well-intentioned, I understand. After all, you are just talking to me.
I know! We understand that you are fighting for her. Don’t worry, I will take the child back tomorrow. As for people making trouble about divorce, that is nothing. No matter what the reason is, they saved the father of my child.
If I live, I must be a benefactor. But what? If you ask me to never contact you, I can’t do it. Don’t force me. I entered the Lin family when I was eight years old, and Baichuan grew on my back.
The older one. I hold his hand and send him to school, and I carry him home on time every day. If you say they are not husband and wife or gay, then we are not husband and wife, but we are still relatives, so we can’t be too hard on others. As for my mother,
If her old man is willing to stay, I will keep her. If they can't take care of her, or my mother doesn't want to stay here, then I will take my mother home..."
"Mom, I'm going home with you." Mrs. Lin gasped, turned around and left, "Let's go home. This is not the place for us to stay."
"Aunt...sister..." The woman who spoke last quickly stopped her, "That's not what we meant. We just couldn't bear to see Xiao Fan like this..."
"You feel sorry for your people, and I feel sorry for my daughter and my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Lin said, and Ohara squatted in front of the old lady, "Let's go, baby! I'll carry you, let's go home."
The women in this circle looked at each other, this... no one expected this?
I really feel that Xiao Fan is pitiful. Is it easy to live in the rain of bullets for more than ten years? But then the dead first wife shows up, is she angry or not?
Today I almost lost my life again.
You said that he didn't die on the battlefield, but he died for this matter when he came back. Is it unfair or not?
The words I said today were all directed at Lin Baichuan, not his mother, first wife, and their children.
It is not easy to separate flesh and blood after so many years.
While they were in embarrassment, Lin Baichuan knelt down in front of the old lady's back with a loud voice, "Mom, you are trying to rip out your son's heart."
Zhong Nanshan saw this scene as soon as he came in. He was puzzled: "What are you doing? Auntie! You are making us feel ashamed." He held a few pages of paper in his hand, "I have contacted my hometown before. Auntie and
My brothers and sisters are amazing. You make military shoes for our army and cooperate with our guerrillas to fight the Japanese. Even Niuniu at home has gone to the battlefield with a machete and killed the Japanese. From a personal emotional point of view, you are our relative. From the perspective of right and wrong.
Come up and say, you are the people who support us. This was originally a happy event for us to reunite after a long separation, but you see what happened." Then he scolded the short and fat woman, "You too, are you so in charge of things?"
Then he introduced to Mrs. Lin again: "This is the one from my family. He can't speak and makes you angry all the time."
Sister-in-law Zhong glared at the young wives, then turned around and said to Mrs. Lin: "Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. You said you were leaving..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yutong said: "I am not angry with you or the other aunties about leaving. Don't worry too much. My mother and grandma think what you said before is right.
After all, there is a patient at home, and the meaning behind the words is caused by heart disease. Recuperation is important, and we live here, and it is indeed unfair. She is the hero, and her body is important. From this aspect,
It's good for the patient's recovery if we go out to live, right?"
After saying that, he smiled at a few people, then pulled Chang Qiuyun and urged Oyuan: "Let's go, brother, we still have to catch the car?"
Ohara responded with a dull sound, and then strode out.
"Mother..." Lin Baichuan shouted hoarsely, knocking his head on the ground, and blood instantly flowed down his forehead.
The old lady never looked back.
Lin Baichuan took off the military cap on his head and took off the military uniform on his body, "Mom, my son will go home with you. Victory, my son has been loyal to the country. Today, my son is going back with you, and it is time for my son to fulfill his filial piety."
"Nonsense!" Zhong Nanshan grabbed Lin Baichuan, then pointed at the women and scolded: "What do you know? Just tell me, what's the matter with you? What happened to the aunt, sister-in-law and the children today?"
In this courtyard, just wait for the common people to scold you!" After saying that, Saya ran out, held Oyuan alive, and said to Old Mrs. Lin: "Auntie...yes! I won't call you auntie anymore. I'll just call you old lady.
Well. I am the same as Baichuan. I left home early, and I was looking forward to going home to see my mother one day. But my mother was so unlucky that she did not wait until I came back... But Baichuan is lucky to have younger siblings.
Serve you, support you...you said that once you leave, how will Baichuan continue to behave?"
Then he said to Chang Qiuyun, "Brothers and sisters, do you think this is okay? Whatever you say, we will do it, okay? Lin Baichuan and Fan Yunqing... If you think they should divorce, I will do it now
Just ask them to file a divorce report and I will approve it immediately..."
"No!" Chang Qiuyun smiled, "I'm not saying angry words. She saved the child's father. If his father treats others badly, and our Lao Lin family treats others badly, does this still count as a person? It's also me.
She didn't know how to do things, which made everyone think wrong. She only thought about her need to recover, but she didn't expect that this move would embarrass everyone. Don't be surprised, country people, you have never seen the world. Don't force Baichuan like this.
What can he do? As for his marriage to Xiao Fan... they don't need to divorce, so why divorce? How can we live up to the lives of these people who followed him through water and fire? But, let's
It's really inconvenient to be here. It's outrageous! It's good to know that he is alive, that people have seen him, and that he is living a good life. My mother is used to following me.
I took my mother and child home and continued to live our lives as usual. If Xiao Fan feels uneasy, I can immediately go through the divorce procedures with Bai Chuan. Really! It doesn't matter. Now I know he is alive and wherever he is. That's right.
I don't mean to be angry or annoyed. If you are worried, let me put it down. Let's put it this way, we can live our lives no matter how we live. They live their lives, and we live ours. I really feel that
It’s awkward, just think of me as the eldest sister. From now on, I am the mother of the child, and she is the mother of the child. I will take my mother to live with me, and she will live with Baichuan. When they have time, they can go back and see me.
, is this okay?”
Zhong Nanshan was almost in tears. He clapped his hands and pointed at Mrs. Zhong: "Listen to what my brothers and sisters said, and then look at you..."
Sister-in-law Zhong said: "It's our inability to speak that made things worse. The eldest sister has a big heart, and I feel ashamed. But Old Zhong, if I really have to ask my mother, brothers and sisters to take the children back, we don't have to be human anymore. This way
Come on, let's see if it works. Didn't we say before that we were going to set up a service club for military dependents? Just ask everyone to stay and help. The place where this service club was originally was was a yard at the end of the family area. The yard was big and there was enough space in front of it.
Yes, the house at the back has been renovated, and there is a side door on the side. It is very convenient for my mother and younger siblings to live there. In this way, when Lao Lin comes in and out, he can also look at me, and I can sit at the door and look at my son."
"That's good!" Zhong Nanshan slapped his thigh: "That's it! I have decided on this matter. I will report it in person and handle all the procedures in person. It's settled!"
Chang Qiuyun looked hesitant: "This... this..."
Lin Yutong laughed in his heart, this old lady of hers is really smart. This move of retreating into advancement is really beautiful.
Didn't she just want to go to the city?
If you don’t farm, you don’t know the hardship involved. You work hard all year round, but you can’t even feed your own belly.
If she had the opportunity to go to the city and ask her children to change their lifestyle, could she not make plans in her heart?
Even if Lin Baichuan and Fan Yunqing were to divorce, what would happen?
In this world, people don't say anything with their mouths, but in their hearts there are many people who have opinions about their own family.
After all, they all sympathize with the weak.
Especially in this kind of family matter, you can't tell right from wrong. If one person has an idea, there will be as many people who don't understand it as many people understand it.
As a result, it is even more difficult to take root here.
But things are different now. Everything about Fan Yunqing was given up by Chang Qiuyun.
In the future, whenever Fan Yunqing feels the slightest grievance, others will no longer be able to blame Chang Qiuyun.
That was not forced by Chang Qiuyun, it was because she was not generous.
Lin Yutong handed the ladder over: "Mom, Uncle Zhong said so, let's stay here temporarily. If I leave today, won't I be forcing my father?"
Chang Qiuyun felt that her daughter at home was becoming more and more discerning. Although she still looked embarrassed, she nodded without stretching her arms: "Let's live here for the time being. Otherwise, Xiao Fan should think it's
She forced us away. I felt even more uneasy."
Look! This first wife has every plan for Xiao Fan.
The woman who spoke the sharpest words before came forward and pulled Chang Qiuyun: "Sister, don't take it to heart. Just seeing Xiao Fan like that makes us comrades feel sad. But to be honest, the person who is most sorry here is
You...just think that I farted just now. I am just a person like that, I really mean what I say but don't mean it."
"Look what this girl said." Chang Qiuyun laughed: "I just take this matter to heart. If you really feel embarrassed, just help me go over and clean up the house. It's winter now, it's really embarrassing.
Mom is worried that she will get sick if she goes back so hard. It's already winter, so let's stay here for a while. We'll go back in time for spring."
"I can't even talk about going back, so how can I talk about going back?" Sister-in-law Zhong pulled Chang Qiuyun and left, "Let's go and clean up the house. Make it warm and lively for me."
Chang Qiuyun responded vaguely, and after taking two steps, he looked back at Lin Baichuan, who was kneeling there with blood on his head: "Hurry up and wrap up your head, why are you still so stupid? Take the baby with you tonight
Fan and the kids are back for dinner, do you hear me?"
Lin Baichuan wiped the blood on his head and gritted his teeth: This girl is really good at calculating. She probably heard someone say that even her family members may not be able to stay now, so she became concerned.
The guards came over to clean and disinfect it and then bandaged it.
Fan Yunqing, who was lying on the bed over there, said: "I'm sorry, this was not my intention."
Lin Baichuan was a little tired: "Just rest, I'll go see how things are cleaned up over there."
Listening to her husband's footsteps disappearing, Fan Yunqing coughed heavily and took two deep breaths.
Lin Xiaoxing came over with water and medicine and handed them over: "That woman is quite self-aware."
Fan Yunqing drank the medicine: "What kind of self-awareness? It's nonsense. Don't talk like that in the future. When you see her, you don't call her mother, but you still call her aunt. Do you hear me?"
Lin Xiaoxing looked at her mother's pale face, nodded slowly, and said reluctantly, "I understand."
On the other side, everyone was gathering firewood with great enthusiasm. In less than an hour, they were clearing it up neatly.
Bedding, pots and pans are all available.
Firewood, charcoal, etc. were piled up half a yard in the backyard.
We had just settled in, but no one stayed to eat. By the end of the day, it was just a family.
Lin Yutong wanted to help in the kitchen, but when he arrived at the door, he heard Lin Baichuan and Chang Qiuyun talking.
"...You scared me to death before, do you know? I thought you really wanted to take your mother and children back to your hometown." Lin Baichuan's voice was a little aggrieved: "Why do you think you are so cruel?"
Chang Qiuyun was chopping vegetables, and the cutting board made a clanking sound.
Just listen to her saying: "Then what do you think? Living in the same house? It's unrealistic! My mother can't live without you. Believe it or not, I really have to go back to my hometown today, and my mother will have to get sick when she goes back. But what about you?
?Nowadays, no matter what you do, people will scold you. No matter what decision you make, you are always wrong. So what should I do? Leave my mother to you? I don’t trust my mother, and my mother can’t worry about my three children. Can my mother be separated from you?
I can't be separated from my children. As for me, I can't be separated from my children. Nowadays, we are not too young. What kind of love is pretentious. Now I am thinking about how to live a good life. Don't you
You know, I have been really poor these past few years. You are the father, and I won’t hide it from you. On the way here, I was half happy that you were alive, and half happy that my three children no longer had to face the earth with their backs to the sky. So.
, don’t be afraid, I won’t tell my children to deny you. Why should I deny you? It would be stupid to deny you! If you deny you, it’s us who have the hard work, and it’s you who are less troublesome. So, I said in my heart
, no matter what you become, I and my children must hang around in front of your eyes. It's been seventeen years, and you haven't taken care of them. If they don't recognize you, you don't need to take care of them? Why don't you be so beautiful to death!"
"I don't care! I don't care! Can I just ignore it?" Lin Baichuan said: "What do you want, just tell me directly..."
"Tell you what?" Chang Qiuyun snorted, "Then who wants to use your car? It depends on your virtue that the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face. Tell you to take care of it? I can see it. I really tell you to take care of it.
, my son and my daughter are not sure why they have to work so hard? Don’t you think about enduring hardship first and having fun last, and setting an example? Then according to your thinking, your son and daughter will naturally have to do the hard work first.
, isn’t it?”
"This is exercise..." Lin Baichuan only said four words, and Chang Qiuyun's knife thumped on the chopping board, "Bullshit!" She retorted before saying: "From now on, just take your official
The older ones do it, my daughter, my son, including my mother and I... I tell you, you should stick to your principles, and stick to your principles. Don't be polite to us at all. As long as you settle down in the city, the rest will be done.
I will figure it out myself..." After saying that, he raised the kitchen knife again: "Did you hear that?"
Lin Baichuan dodged back and avoided the kitchen knife: "Put that thing down. I heard you, I heard you. But I suggest you go to that family class when you have time... You have a big problem with your thinking...
…”
"It's a fart problem." Chang Qiuyun muttered and dismissed Lin Baichuan, "Go, go! Go talk to me. Don't be an eyesore here."
During dinner, Lin Baichuan finally noticed the fourth master: "The young man is very energetic! Whose family does he belong to?"
Chang Qiuyun said: "I'm not an outsider, I'm your uncle-to-be."
"Are you your aunt-to-be?" Lin Baichuan raised his glass: "Come on, let's go..." Halfway through, he realized what he was saying, and put the wine glass back, "Are you your aunt-to-be?" After saying that, he looked at Lin Yutong and the wine glass again.
He placed the child heavily on the table, "Who...who agreed?"
"Me!" Chang Qiuyun picked up the wine glass that he had put down and took a sip. Then he held the empty glass in front of Lin Baichuan and said, "What's wrong? I have an opinion!"
Lin Baichuan shrank back, reached out to touch the wine bottle on the side and filled the bottle for others: "I... you just have to keep an eye on it... You are always good at judging people, so I just said that the young man should look at his spirit..."
Promise?!
Old Mrs. Lin was smiling and wiping away her tears: "It's like a dream! I feel that as long as the whole family stays together...it doesn't matter whether we are rich or poor...Baichuan, can we stop being soldiers..."
"Mom!" Chang Qiuyun put down the cup: "I know you want to guard your son... So, what I said before were all polite words. I have no intention of leaving. I have already entered the city, why should I leave? Even if he comes with
It's over there, but we still have to go back to our hometown first... Hasn't the south been liberated yet? Nothing has been decided yet. Can we ask our family members to come and live with us permanently? No! But when will it be liberated?
Three years, five years? Ten years, eight years? Who can say for sure! If you tell him to leave, he can leave? Don’t say he doesn’t want to leave, even if he wants to leave, he may not be able to leave. Of course, how many more years will I wait?
It doesn't matter, but our Ohara is already eighteen. It's still too late to think of a way out now, but if we wait another year or two, when he has a family, let alone think about it." As she said that, she raised her hand.
Wiping his face, he said, "I don't know anything else. I only know one thing. I have to ask you to close your eyes. Your sons and grandsons are all in front of you. They can come just as soon as you say hello. You have to ask your three children not to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives... As for those things
Mom, don’t think too much about pretentious things, and I won’t think too much about it. Let’s live our lives well. You can see your son every day, and the children can see their father every day. Our family is alive and well.
Just live with food and drink, and you will live better and better in the future, that's fine. Think about the days when you were looking forward to your son in those years... At that time, you thought, no matter if you are missing an arm or a leg, as long as you
As long as you have a good tone, you can live. But what about now? People are well around you, with no arms or legs missing! Mother... I am content! I am so content!"
After hearing this, Lin Baichuan lay on Chang Qiuyun's shoulder, crying like a child...
