Chapter 9: A Warm Dinner
"Yes, Xiaoyu is back!"
Shen Xiulan was busy preparing for the next day, when she suddenly saw a person running into the courtyard and kneeling in front of her.
But soon hearing the voice of her guilty mother, Shen Xiulan's body shook on the spot, it was her son Lin Yu, who she was looking forward to day and night, and finally came back.
Although Lin Yu was not born to her, she has been raised for more than 20 years, and Lin Yu has always been very obedient and motivated in reading, which has saved Shen Xiulan a lot of thoughts.
In her heart, Lin Yu is her son, and no one else can replace him.
In the year that Lin Yu disappeared, Shen Xiulan could hardly sleep well at night.
In addition, her daughter Li Tingting is still studying, and she will soon go to college again, so she needs more money.
Shen Xiulan could only temporarily suppress her concern for Lin Yu in the depths of her heart.
But whenever Shen Xiulan is free, she always thinks that her son will not die, it must be for some special reason, he will come back sooner or later, and then call herself in person, Mom.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I was in a coma for a month. When I woke up, I was in the next province, where the owner of a medicine shop rescued me from the river and treated my wounds. ”
"Later, in order to repay them, I temporarily stayed in the herb shop to work, and I saved some money for the journey before I came back. ”
Lin Yu looked at Shen Xiulan's much older face, and he couldn't hold back, and shed a few lines of tears.
As for his statement, although it was made up, it was also to reassure his adoptive mother and sister.
When Lin Yu went down the mountain, his master, who was also a god operator, once said very seriously that after he went down the mountain, he should never mention to others that he was his apprentice.
Lin Yu didn't know the reason, but he also understood that there must be some special reason for the master's order.
However, Lin Yu was also anxious to go down the mountain and come back to Jiangcheng to have a look, so he didn't think about it so much.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Shen Xiulan stretched out her rough hand and helped Lin Yu wipe the tears on her face.
Then, she rushed to Li Tingting, who was standing next to her, and shouted: "This stupid girl, what are you doing next to you? Your brother is back, this is a good thing that has always been worth being happy about." I've got the meal ready, you guys go in first, I'll fry a few more dishes!"
Li Tingting pouted, she obviously felt her mother's eccentricity, but she quickly pulled Lin Yu and ran into the house happily.
Shen Xiulan looked at the backs of the two children bouncing, and immediately smiled with relief, and soon got busy again.
She now sets up a stall at the intersection outside every day, doing some neighborhood business, having breakfast in the morning, selling some fried noodles and fried noodles at noon, and doing some night market business such as fried skewers in the evening.
At the end of the day, if the business is good, they can earn about two hundred, although it is a little hard, but it is barely enough for the life of the two mothers and daughters.
Although only a dinner for two people was prepared before, the ingredients were all ready-made, and when Lin Yu came back, Shen Xiulan's heart was very happy, and she quickly fried a few more dishes.
After being served on the table, Li Tingting glanced at it, and pouted again: "Mom, you're too partial, aren't you?" All the dishes you cook are what my brother likes to eat, so what about me, I'm in my third year of high school, I want to eat more to supplement my nutrition, you ...... you."
Li Tingting's tone was dissatisfied, but her pretty face was full of smiles.
My father worked outside all the year round, and he would only come back once every few years, at most a month, and soon he left again.
In Li Tingting's heart, Lin Yu's brother is a little closer than his own brother.
For the time being, it can be regarded as a family reunion, of course, it is a very happy moment.
"You girl, you have eaten all the delicious food at home, let you eat it alone! Now Xiaoyu can finally come back, of course, you have to eat something good first. ”
Shen Xiulan said with a smile, and soon seemed to think of something, and asked with a frown: "Xiaoyu, you just came back, didn't you go to Zhou's house?"
Since Lin Yu got married, he has rarely come back, and occasionally he comes back to get some money for her.
To be honest, Shen Xiulan didn't agree to this marriage at the beginning, she knew very well that those people who came out of wealthy families looked down on them as ordinary people at all.
Even if Lin Yu marries Zhou Lingxue, he won't be very comfortable, it is better to wait for Lin Yu's job in the hospital to be stable, and then ask someone to help Lin Yu find an honest girl.
But at that time, Shen Xiulan saw that Lin Yuxing rushed back to report the good news, obviously she liked Zhou Lingxue very much.
Shen Xiulan didn't say what she thought in her heart, for fear of putting more pressure on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "Mom, I've already been there." During this time, though, I'll be staying at home. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Tingting immediately exclaimed in surprise and said, "Brother, you have been missing for a year before you come back, and your sister-in-law will keep you for a meal? No, did they kick you out?"
Shen Xiulan and Li Tingting also heard something about what happened in the Zhou family before.
Although the Zhou family is a wealthy family, it seems to be very far away from ordinary people like them, but Jiangcheng is such a big place.
No matter what happens, as long as it spreads for a day and a half, it will soon spread throughout Jiangcheng.
In addition, for a year or so, the people of the Zhou family have been fighting for property openly and secretly, which is a little more exciting than the plot on TV.
Therefore, the two of them also knew that Zhou Lingxue's family was kicked out by the grandmother of the Zhou family, and in such a situation, Lin Yu came to the door and was easily scolded.
"What are you talking nonsense, girl? ”
Shen Xiulan saw the embarrassment on Lin Yu's face, and was obviously very unhappy, and immediately scolded Li Tingting.
Then, Shen Xiulan comforted Lin Yu and said, "Child, don't worry so much. If you had such a big thing happen before, it can be regarded as the pity of the sky, so you can escape death. So, don't be in a hurry, live at home and find a job first. ”
"Other things, talk about it slowly, Mom believes you can do it!"
When Lin Yu heard this, his heart was suddenly a little blocked, and he couldn't even speak.
This is what a home should feel like, no matter how much grievances are felt outside, that wounded heart can always be soothed and feel endless warmth.
"Brother, that's it, you don't look bad, you have a degree, you will definitely be able to support yourself if you go out and find a job. Hmph, now the people of the Zhou family are eating dogs and dogs, let them bite slowly, there is nothing good about the wealthy family. ”
Li Tingting quickly couldn't help it and also spoke.
When Shen Xiulan was sick before, she needed a deposit of 100,000 yuan before she could have surgery, and when Lin Yu came over with the money, although she pretended to be fine, they could see that Lin Yu must have suffered a lot of grievances, and she didn't want the two mothers and daughters to worry, so she would make a forced smile.
In Li Tingting's heart, the people of the Zhou family are a group of bad people who only know how to bully their brothers, including her sister-in-law Zhou Lingxue.
Lin Yu can come back, of course Li Tingting is very happy, but if you think about it carefully, my brother is married after all, and it is normal to live with my sister-in-law Zhou Lingxue.
But now that Lin Yu said that she wanted to live at home, Li Tingting was very happy to meet her brother every day on the one hand, but on the other hand, she was also upset for her brother.
are all married, why is that sister-in-law still so bad to her brother?
After a long time, Lin Yu raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Mom, sister, you don't have to worry about me." There is a saying, if you don't die in a great disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, I believe that God has given me a chance to be reborn, and I will not be treated badly in the days to come!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Tingting immediately said excitedly: "Brother, no matter what others say about you, I will definitely support you!"
Shen Xiulan didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Yu's eyes full of relief.
After experiencing a life-and-death situation, it seems that Lin Yu has really matured.
It's okay in this way, the child has grown up, and when the old man comes back, Shen Xiulan can be regarded as having an explanation......
