Lu Zhanbei didn't know about Lin Xiaowan's biological parents, and when he heard Lin Xiaowan say it in this way, he really felt sorry for Lin Xiaowan, a child who was abandoned by his family, secretly watching his biological parents and the family happy together, not recognizing her, how much pain he had to endure in his heart.

He didn't hold back, he reached out and grabbed Lin Xiaowan's hand, there was no other meaning here, he just wanted to give the other party his warmth: "Xiaowan, you will have me in the future, and I will be by your side for everything." ”

Lin Xiaowan was stunned for a while, such words made his heart very warm, but he said that he wanted to give Lu Zhanbei a new start, and he shouldn't trap his life like this.

When she didn't know what to say, the radio broadcast that the bus to Linxi Village would leave ten minutes later, and now the queue for boarding was now on.

Lin Xiaowan let go of Lu Zhanbei's hand: "Let's get in the car quickly, don't be late." ”

Lu Zhanbei really didn't have too many thoughts just now, so it was natural to respond at this time, took his things, entered the queue with Lin Xiaowan, and got into the car together.

After getting in the car, the two didn't pay attention to Zhang Yanyan and sat a little bit at the front.

Zhang Yanyan's father is the village party secretary, and he hasn't been angry yet, so he is also angry at this time, and sits a little farther away from them.

Soon the car started, Lin Xiaowan's heart beat faster, and the closer she got to home, the more panicked she became.

Lin Xiaowan kept looking out of the car window on the way, it was already autumn at this time, the yellow and clear rice fields were swaying lightly in the wind, the sorghum ears were full of sunshine, and the budding rice fields were also a bumper harvest.

Many families in the passing villages are building budding rice barns, and the old ox cart on the side of the road is swaying forward, holding a whip in the handlebar hand but does not need to drive hard, and the old ox seems to recognize the way forward.

Occasionally, children are laughing and running on the side of the road, and the autumn wind circles the yellow leaves and falls on them, and the sun shines on their faces that are blackened and red by the sun, with vitality.

Lu Zhanbei didn't bother Lin Xiaowan, because she knew that she had to bear more in her heart than she thought, and she needed time and space to calm down and better accept and face her family.

Lin Xiaowan looked at the more and more familiar scenery, looking at the Linxi Village that appeared in her sight from afar, her hands clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, but she still felt a little chilled, the more she wanted to face it, but she didn't know how to face it.

She didn't dare to turn around, and kept looking out the car window, trying to calm her emotions as much as possible.

But when the car stopped in front of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village, Lin Xiaowan's legs were weak, and she couldn't stand up.

Lu Zhanbei knew Lin Xiaowan's struggle, but he didn't want to put pressure on her, so he smiled and said, "Your legs are numb in the car, you stand up, let's get off the car last." ”

Lin Xiaowan nodded at Landing Zhanbei, his words were indeed to make him more relaxed, if he came to persuade himself now, he would be even more nervous.

Zhang Yanyan didn't speak when she passed by the two of them, and got out of the car first with her chin raised, but Lin Xiaowan didn't want to talk to her at all.

The two waited for everyone in the car to get down, and finally got out of the car.

Lin Xiaowan's house was not on the street, but in front of the elementary school at the foot of Beishan, and when she got out of the car, she had to walk north for a few minutes.

The two of them walked forward together with their things, and the appearance of two people in such a dress and temperament in the village was very attention-grabbing, and many people recognized that it was Lin Xiaowan, but they were not very sure, they looked alike, but this feeling was not like it.

So along the way, some people were talking behind their backs, but no one was talking to Lin Xiaowan.

In the past, Lin Xiaowan was not a talkative person, she always had thick and long bangs, and she didn't look up when she saw anyone in front of half of her face, so at this time, Lin Xiaowan really didn't remember what to call the people she met, but she smiled politely and nodded.

Fortunately, this village is not big, and after walking for a while, I arrived at the door of Lin Xiaowan's house.

This familiar stone wall, although it is more than a year, but it has been repaired by Lin Anyong very well, the simple iron railing gate is open, you can see the whole yard at a glance, the yard is not big, clean, there is a pigsty on the left, the right is a well, and there is a bucket on the well platform.

The two-and-a-half-room earthen embryo room, the reason why it is said to be two and a half, is because there is a kitchen when you enter the door, the kitchen is on the west side, and the east side is a big house, a big kang, Lin Xiaowan and the three sisters grew up, in order to have a little privacy, Lin Anyong separated one with a wooden board in the middle, although it is not soundproof, but it is barely half a room. There is a small barn next to the main house, where some farm tools are placed.

The window frames are not painted, the glass of the windows is very clean, the eaves are hung with peppers and a few ears of bud rice and a braid of garlic, and there is a chicken coop on the windowsill, a simple farm yard.

At this time, many families have built brick houses, and there are fewer and fewer of these earthen houses, but their families have a thin background, and Li Lanhua didn't give them anything when they split up, and this house was still approved by the village. The field is okay, because it was a production team before, and then it was divided into households, and this plum orchid can't be managed, but their family is honest, and their relatives are not united to help, so there are also cats when this land is divided, so their fields are less than others'.

There are no boys in their own family, and they don't work as much as other people's sons, coupled with the continuous exploitation of Li Lanhua, their family has indeed had a difficult time over the years.

Lin Xiaowan stood at this gate for a long time and didn't dare to go in, the feeling she couldn't tell in her heart was not that she was nervous and afraid, nor was she ashamed, she just felt unreal, she really came back, she couldn't help but let the tears fall, but before she could hold back, the two lines of tears had already fallen.

Lu Zhanbei looked at Lin Xiaowan stunned for a while, with tears on his face, he couldn't stand at the door all the time, so he still reminded her very softly: "Xiaowan, are you okay?"

Lin Xiaowan came back to her senses at this time, and quickly wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand: "I'm just homesick, let's go in." As she spoke, she walked through the door that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they heard an argument inside.

"You must give me money today, I have received the bride price of Zhang Dajizi and their family, but you have married the money-losing goods to the city behind my back, aren't you cheating on me? The bride price is not enough now, you must make up for me, otherwise how can I explain to Zhang Dajizi and their family? People know that the money-losing goods are married to the city, and our family will make trouble when they see the sky, are you trying to force me to die?" This sharp and piercing voice Lin Xiaowan is too familiar, this is the voice of her grandmother Li Lanhua, who is eccentric and squeaky.

She just wanted her father to divorce her mother because her mother didn't give birth to a son, Lin Anyong didn't leave, and then Li Lanhua drove their family out of the independent door, but the family was divided, but Li Lanhua tossed Lin Anyong with her identity all the year round, and asked for money and food for three days, saying that their family had no son, and this thing would be paid out sooner or later.
