Chapter 38: Returning Home

"Rong Zai, Dad is sick, can you come back and see. ”

It was his brother, Lin Qixiang, who called.

In his memory, this brother was three years older than him, and he was not admitted to college like him, and he went out to work after graduating from junior high school, struggling to use his meager salary to support him in high school and college.

When he came out to work, he returned home to accompany his aging parents, so that he could work hard in Shanghai with peace of mind.

In fact, he already has a little success working in the south, but he

Hearing Lin Qixiang's words, a feeling of guilt rose in Lin Qirong's heart.

He hasn't been back for a few years, because he's busy and because he's guilty.

I came out to work for a few years, but I didn't send much money home, and I didn't have the face to go back.

In this regard, neither his parents nor Lin Qixiang complained about him.

Carefully savoring the complex emotions in his heart, Lin Qirong knew that this was the emotion left by this body, and it was also the inseparable bond that he was now apart from Lin Yitong.

Since he has become Lin Qirong of this world, he should do what he should do for him.

"Brother, I know, I'll be back tomorrow. ”

He agreed.

Lin Qixiang said happily, "That's great, my parents will be very happy to see you." ”

This sentence made Lin Qirong feel even more uncomfortable, as the eldest in the family, he was the most favored since he was a child.

As a result, he was the one who gave the least for his family.

Whatever the reason, it shouldn't be.

……

Because of this urgent matter, Lin Qirong spent a day arranging the company's affairs.

The production of the children's animation "Peppa Pig" was handed over to Xiao Yunfang, and he was very relieved.

Recently, several employees have been practicing the game of tearing the name, and it will take some time to meet his requirements.

The next day, he took Lin Yitong on a plane and traveled for more than ten hours, finally returning to his hometown, a village in Yuan City, Guangdong Province.

"Dad, where is this?" Lin Yitong saw Lin Qirong standing at the intersection in a daze, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"This is where my father was born and raised. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Dad was born here, where was Tongtong born?"

Lin Qirong was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know where Lin Yitong was born, only that he was born in a foreign country.

"Only my mother knew about this, and my father was not with my mother at the time. ”

As soon as he said this, he realized that it was not good.

Sure enough, Lin Yitong's mood immediately fell, and tears fell in strings.

"Woo woo, I miss Mom, where the hell did Mom go?"

Lin Qirong squatted down and hugged her distressedly, gently patting her back.

"Mom just went to a far away place and can't come back, she also loves the baby very much like Dad, don't cry, okay?"

Coaxed for a long time, and finally Lin Yitong stopped his tears.

"Tongtong will eat and sleep well, and when my mother comes back, she can see the best Tongtong. ”

"That's right. Lin Qirong happily hugged her and said, "Mom will be very happy to know that the baby is so well-behaved." ”

Lin Yitong burst into tears and laughed.

With such a stir for her, a little homesickness in Lin Qirong's heart also disappeared, and led her across a stone bridge to the door of a house.

The first one at the entrance of the village is Lin Qirong's home.

A middle-aged man walked out of the door and saw Lin Qirong and the two stunned for a moment, then laughed happily.

"Coming back?"

Lin Qirong nodded, "Brother, I'm back." ”

"It's good to be back. Lin Qixiang looked at Lin Yitong next to Lin Qirong, "Who is she?"

"She is my daughter, Tongtong, called Uncle. ”

"Hello uncle. Lin Yitong shouted obediently.

"This is a daughter?" Lin Qixiang seemed to be frightened, muttered to himself, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Come on in. ”

Lin Qirong led Lin Yitong, who was a little nervous, into the house, and an elderly woman walked out of a corridor and saw Lin Qirong looking a little excited.

"Mom. Lin Qirong involuntarily shouted out this title, "I'm back, Tongtong, call grandma." ”

"Hello grandma. ”

"Good. The elderly woman was Lin Qirong's mother, Kuang Meilan, who was a little helpless in the face of Lin Yitong and stood there stunned.

"Dad, I'll go see him first, and then I'll talk about other things. ”

"Dad is in the room. Lin Qixiang said, leading them into a room in the upper hall.

The strong smell of medicine came to his nose, and Lin Qirong's father, Lin Jianguo, was leaning on the head of the bed.

Lin Qirong stepped forward, "Dad, I'm back, how is your body?"

Lin Jianguo snorted, "What can I do with my body? Just take some medicine."

It's your mother and your brother who are making a fuss, and you don't have to come back at all, so as not to affect your work. ”

Lin Qixiang was smiling happily on the side, not caring about his words.

"Even if it's okay, I should come back to see you, don't blame Mom and Brother. ”

Lin Qirong smiled and pulled Lin Yitong to show her, "Look, this is my daughter Lin Yitong, and she is also your granddaughter."

Baby, this is Grandpa. ”

"Hello grandpa. Lin Yitong shouted sweetly.

"Eh, good. Lin Jianguo hurriedly sat up straight from the bed, looked at Lin Yitong seriously for a while, and then glared at Lin Qirong, "Why do we have a daughter? Why don't we know about this?

"Mom went far, far away, grandpa, don't blame Dad. ”

Lin Yitong took the initiative to say.

Lin Jianguo suffocated, faced the lovely Lin Yitong, and sighed softly, "It's okay, grandpa didn't blame Dad, grandpa is happy, I'm really happy to see the little baby Tongtong." ”

"I know, because Tongtong is very well-behaved, everyone likes me. ”

"Yes, yes, baby is the best. Lin Qirong stroked her hair and smiled.

After talking to Lin Jianguo, his condition is not serious, he should be overworked.

The family is not farming now, but has planted fruit trees on the original farmland, and the farm work has been reduced a lot.

But Lin Jianguo can't be idle, or he wants to make more money, so old, he still goes into the mountains every day to chop wood, so it's strange that he is not tired.

Coming out of the room, Lin Qirong and Lin Qixiang said, "I think it's best to take my dad to the county for a check-up, so old, a physical examination is also required." ”

Lin Qixiang nodded, "I said the same too, but he always said that he was fine and didn't have to go, in fact, he was afraid of spending money." ”

Lin Qirong was silent, he knew that his family was very poor, and he only relied on the fruit trees he planted to sell for some money every year.

There is also an eldest sister in the family, Lin Qinglian, who married in the county, and her life is not very good.

It can be said that the only hope in the family is that he can survive.

He could understand Lin Qirong's tired mood at the beginning.

Forced by life, I feel guilty, and I can only work hard.

When I walked into the kitchen, my mother was wiping tears from her eyes while lighting a fire.

"Mom, I'll do it. "Lin Qirong robbed her of her job in the past.

"Grandma, why are you crying?" asked Lin Yitong while pulling Kuang Meilan's clothes.

"Nothing. Kuang Meilan hugged Lin Yitong and said, "Grandma is happy." ”

"Oh, is it because Daddy and I are back?"

"yes, I'm happy to see my granddaughter. ”

Lin Yitong nodded happily, "After that, I'll let my dad come back more." ”

"Okay, Tongtong is really good. ”

Lin Qirong skillfully lit the fire, got up and took his mother's apron and knife, "I'll cook today, you can help light the fire, and look at Tongtong." ”

"Do you know how to stir-fry?"

"Learned. ”

Lin Yitong said proudly, "Dad's fried dishes are delicious." ”

Her mother put her arms around her and sighed, tears falling again for some reason.

During the meal, Lin Jianguo walked out of the room, as if Lin Qirong had come back and made him better from his illness, and his spirit was much better, and he ate a big bowl of rice.

"Dad, seeing that you are back, you have eaten a lot more. ”

Lin Qixiang said happily.

"It's just you. Lin Jianguo reprimanded, "How busy is Rong Zai working in Shanghai? How difficult is it to come back? What do you do when you ask him to come back for a little thing?"

Lin Qirong took a piece of meat and put it in his bowl and persuaded, "Brother also cares about you, don't blame him, I'm not busy with work, I can stay at home for a few days and then go back, don't worry." ”

When Lin Jianguo heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's going well, you don't have to worry. ”

"That's good, it's not easy to work in a big city. ”

"I see. ”

After eating dinner and bathing Lin Yitong, the family moved a table to cool off on the flat ground of the gatehouse.

"It's so comfortable. Lin Yitong sat on a bamboo chair and said with a pair of calves.

The night breeze is very cool, mixed with the fragrance of the earth, and it is indeed very comfortable.

"How is it compared to the Shanghai market?"

Lin Yitong frowned and thought hard for a while before saying, "I like both, there are grandparents here, Uncle Qiao Feng there, and you can also dance, it's so difficult to choose." ”

"Silly boy. Mother smiled on the side, "This is also your home, you can choose both." ”

"Then I'll like both. Lin Yitong announced.

Lin Jianguo looked at her happily, with a kind light in his eyes, it seemed that this granddaughter who suddenly appeared made him very happy.

The air in the countryside is very good, and you can see the stars twinkling all over the sky, which makes Lin Yitong very happy, and you can't see such a starry sky in Shanghai.

Lin Qirong held her in his arms and kept introducing her.

"This is the Big Dipper, the same shape as a spoon.

This is the North Star, the brightest star in the sky.

……”

Lin Yitong's eyes widened and looked at the beautiful stars, feeling so beautiful.

"Dad, shall we sing "Little Star" together?"

Lin Qirong smiled, "Of course." ”

He often sings this song to Lin Yitong, and she can sing it too.

Lin Yitong patted and began to sing.

"Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars, hanging in the sky and shining brightly, like thousands of small eyes, twinkle and shining, the sky is full of little stars. ”

The crisp sound wafted in the night sky, very beautiful.

Lin Jianguo and the three of them on the side looked at the situation of singing together, and they didn't feel good in their hearts.

They clearly remembered what Lin Yitong said, and of course they knew what it meant.

Poor father and daughter.
