Aunt Zhou regretted the invitation as soon as she said it.
after all……
Everyone can see that Lin Wanwan is now prosperous and has become a big star... She rashly invited Lin Wanwan to her home, and she didn't know if Lin Wanwan would find her rude.
Just as she was feeling regretful, she heard Lin Wanwan's hearty "good" word.
Aunt Zhou immediately beamed and took Lin Wanwan's hand, "Okay, okay, come home with Auntie! Your eldest father happens to be at home right now. If (if) he sees you coming back, he will be extremely happy. Back then, Lin Wanwan
That black-hearted Dafu had no choice but to take you and Yueyue back to the city. Your eldest father was still afraid that he would abuse you two sisters, so he wanted to go to the city to see you, but we have never been together in this life.
I haven't even been to the county town, let alone a big city like that... I won't say it anymore, go home quickly and let your dad take a look."
"good!"
Aunt Zhou said goodbye to the old ladies chatting with her, and went home with Lin Wanwan and her family of four.
Linjia Village has changed a lot.
But Aunt Zhou's residence has not changed, she still lives in the old house.
Along the way, Aunt Zhou was telling Lin Wanwan about the changes in Linjia Village over the years. Lin Wanwan also listened carefully and occasionally added a few words. The group soon arrived at the innermost part of the village.
Aunt Zhou said, "In recent years, young people have gone out to work, and the conditions in the village have become better, so they have moved to the entrance of the village. There are roads at the entrance of the village, which is more convenient than in the village. In addition, there are many
Boys are old enough to marry, and girls today are different from those in our time. They are not willing to marry without a house. So, now families with marriageable boys in the village have gritted their teeth and built houses, and they are just waiting.
Getting a wife."
"Where's Brother Lin? Are you married?"
Brother Lin?!
Xiao Lingye narrowed his eyes, and the image of his childhood sweethearts immediately appeared in his mind, and his brows immediately knitted tightly.
"It's settled!" Aunt Zhou said happily, "He is more than ten years older than you. He got married two years after you and Yueyue were brought into the city. They have been married for many years and have two children with your sister-in-law.
Where’s the doll!”
Hearing this, Xiao Lingye's tight lips relaxed.
Lin Wanwan didn't pay attention to Xiao Lingye's expression at all, and said happily, "That's great!"
I don't know what she thought of, Aunt Zhou smiled a little bitterly, but didn't say anything else.
…
Aunt Zhou is right.
Although the road at the entrance of the village is also a dirt road, it has been beaten down by cars and is still very smooth. The further you go into the village, the worse the road conditions become. They are all uneven dirt roads.
"It rained a few days ago, and the road was so muddy." Aunt Zhou looked at the white shoes under Lin Wanwan's feet with distress, "You shouldn't wear white shoes here. They are stained with mud and are difficult to wash.
Clean."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said nothing.
Walking towards the village, the road conditions were bad and there were even fewer houses.
Along the way, Lin Wanwan saw several collapsed mud houses.
Close your eyes.
The bustling scene in my neighbor's house when I was a kid is still in front of me, but now it's all gone.
"Auntie... have all the neighbors who live next to us moved out?"
"Yes!" the aunt said with emotion, "They have all moved away! Now, our family is the only one who still lives in this old house."
Talking room.
The group of people has arrived at their destination.
"arrive!"
As soon as Lin Wanwan raised her head, her eyes immediately became hot.
A few meters ahead is her family's old house. Because her family is poor, they are all mud houses. At this time, the roof is covered with dead leaves, which is crushing the roof. Looking from this direction, the roof is full of big holes.
.
Contrary to expectations, it did not completely collapse.
The wall of the house is already leaning a little. At this moment, the wall is supported by several tree trunks as thick as a bowl and wooden boards are used to support it. The tree trunks are supporting it, which prevents the house from collapsing.
"Your eldest father found a tree trunk to support this!" Aunt Zhou sighed, "Over the years, the neighbors have moved away one by one, leaving only our family. Seeing that your house is about to collapse, your eldest father is afraid
The house fell down, and our family seemed more deserted here, so we found tree trunks to prop up the wall, thinking that it could last a few more years... But I couldn't care less, it rained a few days ago.
The house is crumbling and I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on in a few days."
Lin Wanwan looked at the earthen house with tears in the corners of her eyes.
The back of my hand felt warm.
It was Xiao Lingye who held her hand.
Xiao Lingye glanced at the dilapidated old house, her deep eyes unable to conceal her distress, "You... grew up here?"
"Yes." Thinking of her childhood, Lin Wanwan's voice softened. She looked at the house and said softly, "I didn't realize it at the time, but now I realize...was this house so short at that time?
?”
She remembered that at that time, the wall was so high that she had to step on a stool to get up.
But now...
She stood next to the wall and could see the yard without using her feet.
"Silly Wanwan, you have grown up and grown taller. Of course you will feel short when you look at this house!" Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Don't be in a daze, hurry up and go home with me."
"Um!"
The tip of Lin Wanwan's nose was sore.
She looked at the earthen house, and all she could think of was her grandma's voice and smile.
It's like coming back here...grandma is still with her.
Both hands are held at the same time.
When Lin Wanwan came to her senses, she saw her two hands being held by Xiao Lingye and Ruirui respectively.
The two of them were indeed father and son, and they even looked at her with the same concerned eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. How can I be so pretentious and fragile!" It's just a little emotional.
Xiao Lingye stood beside her, pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "I'm here!"
"..."
After a pause, he added, "Always there!"
Lin Wanwan nodded vigorously and responded to him in a nasal voice, "Yeah!"
…
Aunt Zhou's home is not much better than Lin Wanwan's old house.
Their house is a brick house, but after all, it has been a long time, and the walls are a little sloping, and the walls are also covered with a row of tree trunks. Aunt Zhou’s house has three main rooms, with a stove and storage room built on the side.
There is a utility room for farm tools, plus a small yard paved with red bricks.
Just like in memory.
Except for the old pine tree at the entrance of the village, Lin Wanwan finally saw something familiar here again.
Aunt Zhou entered the yard angrily.
"Haohao! Take a look and see who is coming!"
"Who?"
A grey-haired and plainly dressed Uncle Lin limped out of the main room. When he saw Lin Wanwan's family of four, he was startled.
It is true that the temperament and appearance of this family are too outstanding, especially the young man. He is obviously standing there doing nothing, but he is already attracting attention just by standing there.
Uncle Lin had never studied, so he didn't know that it was a powerful aura.
He just felt that even though he was at his own home, seeing this family of four made him feel a little nervous and embarrassed.
"Haohao Nai, who are they?"
"It's Wanwan! Wanwan took her family and two children back to her hometown to visit relatives!"
That mouth?
Xiao Lingye raised her eyebrows.
It's a very down-to-earth title...and a very comfortable title!
