Chapter 21: Life History (1)
For the inexplicable emotions of children, Lin Xi has nothing to do, after all, she has never raised children. Liu Xia came to Lin Xi again, with a narrow smile on her face, Lin Xi shook her head when she saw it.
Liu Xia and Lin Xi talked about Yuan He, and Lin Xi made it clear that he had refused. Liu Xia asked with some curiosity: "Why? Yuan He is a good person, and he works hard, and it is said that everyone in his family is a worker. Lin Xi only said that he was young, and his family told him not to fall in love. Liu Xia thought about it and sighed, she felt a little pity.
Lin Xi lowered her head and thought for a while, and tentatively asked Liu Xia if she had any thoughts about Fang Chuanzhi, Liu Xia was stunned for a while, and was silent for a while, she showed a wry smile and said: "Fang Chuanzhi is a good person, I just have a good impression of him." When I first came, I was very uncomfortable, and he was helping me. However, he has a partner, and the two have a good relationship, and I heard that his object has also obtained a place for workers, peasants and soldiers, and the two can go to school together in the future. It was impossible for me to be with him. ”
Lin Xi was stunned, she didn't know that Fang Chuanzhi had a partner. Liu Xia sighed again, smiled reluctantly, and said: "When the educated youth go to a strange place, it is inevitable that they will feel lonely, and if someone treats you well, you will naturally be easy to get close to that person." You just came, and you didn't feel anything yet, but you'll understand later. However, as a person who has come over, I still advise you, don't look for a partner here, at least don't look for a local. After all, there is hope that we will return to the city. ”
Lin Xi vaguely remembered that many years later, there were restrictions on allowing educated youths to return to the city. It seems that Liu Xia's thinking is still clear. She believes that Liu Xia will come out of this hopeless relationship.
The weather is getting colder, and the people in the village begin to store vegetables such as cabbage and radish, or dry some dried vegetables, Lin Xi has never lived in the countryside, so he will not do this at all. When he remembered this matter, Chu Sheng patted his chest, indicating that he had already arranged it and did not need Lin Xi to worry about it. Lin Xi expressed his please. Looking at a vacant lot in the corner, Lin Xi suddenly had the idea of raising chickens, and the eggs he eats now are all purchased by Lin Xi in the system mall. For the few gold coins she had, she wanted to raise chickens. Of course, she won't, she asked Chu Sheng if he would raise chickens? Chu Sheng recalled it carefully, and said: "Sister, now it's almost winter, this chicken can't be raised, and when spring begins, the hen will hold the nest." ”
Where did Lin Xi understand this, seeing that there was no hope of raising chickens, she was a little disappointed. Chu Sheng looked at Lin Xi's disappointed appearance and comforted her, and said, "Sister, when spring begins, I'll help you build a chicken nest, don't worry." What Chu Sheng thought in his heart was: My sister can't figure out the situation at all, how can she live without him, and she will have to worry more about her own affairs in the future.
can't raise chickens, Lin Xi can only teach Chu Sheng to study with peace of mind, and now he has brought Tang Shu. Tang Shu likes to come to Lin Xi to read books, and now that he has a radio, he is cheeky to listen, Chu Sheng annoys him, and gives him a lot of face, but Liu Chunyan sends some dates or dried vegetables every few days, which is regarded as a subsidy for Lin Xi, and thanks her for helping him take care of his son. Lin Xi accepted it, and Chu Sheng was helpless. Tang Shu stayed here in the name of justice, Chu Sheng annoyed him, he didn't care, after a long time, Chu Sheng reluctantly accepted this friend, the two often played together, and sometimes Tang Shu would call Chu Sheng to go out to play together. Lin Xi felt that his efforts for so long had paid off, and the child had learned to make friends, and he was quite relieved to think about it.
Since Lin Xi added a new book, Tang Shu has publicized this matter. When the weather is cold, the children's activities are also few, and a few children in the village often come to Chu Sheng to borrow books to read. Lin Xi thought it was very good, so that it could help Chu Sheng make friends. When someone came to read the book, Lin Xi let the children read in the yard, except that they could not be brought back and could not be damaged, there were no other restrictions. It didn't take long for more than a dozen children to gather in the small courtyard, reporting on time every day. Fortunately, the children who can read are all older and won't be noisy, Lin Xi is very satisfied, and Chu Sheng is very depressed.
Gradually, Lin Xi's yard became a reading point for children, and the older children would tell the stories in the books to the children, and sometimes Lin Xi would also tell them stories. Some polite people brought some vegetables from the field every once in a while, or sent their children to send some firewood. There are not many things, but Lin Xi is very happy, which shows that everyone accepts them.
When Lin Xi's arm was about to go for a follow-up visit, he discussed with Chu Sheng and asked him to stay at home and go to the examination alone, but Chu Sheng was resolutely unwilling and had to follow. Lin Xi couldn't resist him, so he had to take him with him.
When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor checked that the condition was good, and asked Lin Xi to take care of it and come back after a while. The two walked in the direction of the hospital gate, and a woman came over, her face was sallow, she inadvertently saw Chu Sheng, and was stunned for a while, and when Chu Sheng walked away, she tried to catch up again, took a few steps and chased a few steps, looking at the figure that had gone away, but in the end she still gave up.
Three days later, the sallow-faced woman, supported by her family, came to Qingshan Village, causing an uproar.
When Tang Jianguo saw this woman, he recognized it for a long time before asking, "Are you Dagen's daughter-in-law?" The woman leaned back in her chair and nodded weakly. Tang Jianguo looked at the skinny daughter-in-law with indescribable emotion in his heart. He asked, "What is the matter with your coming back this time?" The woman said with tears in her eyes: "Tang Zhishu, I want to ask you for something, can you find Dagen? And that child, I have something to say." ”
Tang Jianguo had a bad feeling in his heart, and he called Third Uncle Chu's family, as well as the elders in the village.
Lin Xi was writing words to Chu Sheng, and when he received Tang Jianguo's notice, he said that Chu Sheng's mother was back. Lin Xi was very surprised, what does it mean for a mother who has been away for many years to come back? Is it to take Chu Sheng away? Lin Xi was uneasy in her heart, she didn't know what Chu Sheng's mother was showing up for at this time? Chu Sheng looked at Lin Xi's tangled appearance, hugged Lin Xi's arm to comfort her, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't go anywhere, I will live with you." Lin Xi smiled reluctantly and took Chu Sheng to the village committee.
Chu Sheng and Lin Xi went to the village office together. It was full of people. When Lin Xi walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on her, Lin Xi felt awkward, Chu Sheng took her hand, Lin Xi found a seat and sat down, Dagen's daughter-in-law looked at Chu Sheng, and said excitedly: "You have grown up, I almost can't recognize you." ”
"You're shameless, and you dare to come back?" There was a man's roar at the door, it was Chu Dagen, he clenched his fists, his eyes were round, and he wanted to eat people.
Several men next to the woman stood up and glared back at Chu Dagen angrily. Tang Jianguo hurriedly went up to calm the emotions of both sides. Third Uncle Chu behind Chu Dagen looked at his former daughter-in-law with an angry face and disdain.
When everyone was seated, Dagen's daughter-in-law spoke: "Everyone has seen my appearance, I don't have a few days to live, this is all my retribution." But there is one thing I must make clear, otherwise I will not be willing to die. Chu Dagen, I didn't feel sorry for you. When I didn't conceive a child, you quarreled with me every day, and then I finally got pregnant, but you suspected me of stealing people, and kept beating me, what did I do wrong? The child I conceived at the beginning was really yours, I didn't lie to you. I ......" Xu was too excited, and the woman gasped, her eyes fixed on Chu Dagen. Chu Dagen was unmoved, his eyes were wide open, his fists were clenched tightly, and his chest was heaving violently.
A woman on the side hurriedly smoothed the woman's back, and comforted her with kind words. The woman calmed down her breathing with the help of her family, and her face flushed abnormally. A man on the side spoke: "Let me tell you, when my sister was pregnant, she was often beaten by Chu Dagen, she couldn't stand it anymore, and ran back to her parents' house for refuge." But my sister was weak and depressed, and when she was seven months old, the baby was born prematurely, and we took her to the hospital, but unfortunately the child was not saved. ”
Everyone was stunned, since the child was not saved at the beginning, what happened to Chu Sheng? Everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng just looked at his former mother coldly, and his heart was pounding. The man continued: "The child who was lost was a boy, and the sister was weak, and when she learned the news, everyone was going to collapse. Later, she saw that a boy had been born in another ward, and she was so confused that she took the child back. She just doesn't want to disappoint Dagen, after all, Dagen has been looking forward to the child for many years. She thought that with a child, Dagen would be able to live a good life with her. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect the relationship between the two to be even worse after that. Speaking of this, the man also choked up a little.
The room was shocked. Because Chu Sheng doesn't look like the Chu family, there is more or less gossip in the village, but I didn't expect it to be because Chu Sheng was raised, or more accurately, it was stolen. Lin Xi looked at Chu Sheng's mother in surprise, this weak woman could actually do something to steal a child? Looking at Chu Sheng again, Chu Sheng's face was indifferent, as if what they said had nothing to do with him.
Lin Xi felt sorry for this child, and quietly stretched out his hand and held Chu Sheng's hand that was clenched into a fist. Chu Sheng's hand felt the temperature coming from Lin Xi, his hand relaxed slightly, and glanced at Lin Xi.
Chu Dagen stood up suddenly, pointed at the woman's nose and scolded: "You shameless, you still lie to me." The woman turned her gaze to him, and the tears in her eyes could not stop falling: "I have never understood why you always suspect me of stealing people, why are you doing? I really have no sorry for you!" The woman finally became hoarse, covered her eyes, and cried in despair. The people on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't think about it, this is a heartless thing, your body is not good, don't get excited." ”
The woman cried for a while, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Chu Dagen, I have been with you for so many years, and I haven't even been to the town much every day except to work in the fields, but I haven't even been to the town much, but you say, how did I steal people?"
