Chapter 38 Tie hemp rope around the waist and carry a foreign bottle
Now my father is still alive, his eyes are bright and strong, and although his copper-colored face is inevitably wrinkled, he looks extremely energetic.
Her father had died of a stroke before she arrived, and her mother had become an old woman with a strange temper and a good face.
Her mother was even worried that the divorce would be ugly to say, and for fear of hurting her face, she even threatened her with death to prevent her from divorcing, forcing her to make do with Feng Qian.
And the mother's reason at that time was very strange: the face of divorce was too ugly, and when Feng Qian was too old to crawl, he would naturally not be involved with other women.
"Zijin, follow tightly and don't get separated. Lin Weiguo hadn't recognized his second father yet, and he told his sister with a grain bag that there were many people at the entrance of the station, and he was worried that his sister, who was going out for the first time, would be separated from her unfamiliar place.
Then Lin Weiguo saw his sister squeezing past him, and opened his hand to pounce on a middle-aged man holding a cigarette pouch pot: "Dad...... Second Daddy!"
"Hey, hey, my niece is here too. ”
Lin Jialiang hurriedly pinned the cigarette pouch and pot to his waist, and opened his hand to pick up his niece.
He had already recognized Lin Weiguo, and the letter said that Zijin's niece was also coming, so the delicate and weak girl behind Lin Weiguo, who looked a little similar to her brother, was Lin Zijin.
But he really didn't expect his niece to be so excited to see him, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and like a chick who saw a hen, she ran over with both hands.
And he also felt that this niece was very close, and he felt that the two of them were like relatives who hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.
Lin Jiaming came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to protect Lin Zijin, feeling a little relieved and excited.
This child is a confession, she grew up in the city since she was a child, except when she was a baby when she was a child, she came back with her eldest brother and sister-in-law once, and then never saw each other again after seven or eight years.
didn't expect this child to recognize his second father at once, and he was so affectionate and affectionate.
Lin Jiaming patted the back of Lin Zijin's head lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, such a big girl is still like this, it makes people laugh." ”
Saying that, Lin Jialiang looked around and motioned for someone to watch.
Lin Zijiao came back to his senses, stood up straight embarrassedly, and looked his father in his previous life up and down.
Lin Jialiang was in high spirits, wearing a dogskin hat, a fat and long leather jacket on his upper body, a hemp rope tied around his waist, the cotton pants on his legs were fat and big, and the hemp of the trousers was also tied with hemp rope underneath, and he was wearing a pair of patched cotton shoes on his feet.
This dress made Lin Zijiao couldn't help but laugh, and a song he had heard when he was a medical college in his previous life immediately came to mind.
Tie hemp rope around the waist, carry a foreign bottle, when the horn sounds, the hemp rope is broken, and the foreign bottle is broken.
(Bottle: This refers to a glass wine bottle used instead of a kettle, tied to the mouth of the bottle with a string.) The horn is a car horn. )
This is what the city people made up to make fun of the peasants when they entered the city, and now it is just right to describe her father.
"Daddy...... Second father, you came into the city to pick us up, why do you still have a hemp rope tied around your waist?"
As he spoke, Lin Zijiao took out his father's cigarette pouch and handed it to him, carefully arranging the collar of his father's clothes and dog skin hat.
Holding back a smile, he tied the legendary hemp rope that would break when he heard the horn of a car, and took two steps back to look at him.
It was so good that she saw her father again, a young, sturdy father with bright eyes and a smile on his face.
Instead of the father who bent his waist with a sad face, lost his only son, and was a murderer for more than ten years.
Is this disgusted by his niece? Lin Jialiang was a little speechless.
But this girl's actions are really intimate, and she doesn't look disgusted at all.
Lin Jialiang was a little stunned and at the same time actually quite happy, hehe smiled and took the burden in his niece's hand: "Don't think the second father is ugly, this broken leather jacket is leaking air, and a hemp rope is tied around the waist to keep it warm."
Okay, Zijin, the mule cart is tethered over there, let's hurry up, it's so cold this day, and the heat on my body will be dissipated after standing for a while. ”
Lin Zijiao snorted, grabbed Lin Jialiang's arm, and leaned on his side affectionately.
It's good that my father is still alive!
She subconsciously looked sideways at Lin Jialiang again, it's so good, her father is still in good health, and there is a ball of kindness and joy between her eyebrows, Si Liang does not have the decadence and sickness of her previous life.
Lin Weiguo opened his mouth, not even knowing that the noodle bag on his shoulder slipped to the ground.
Sister, what's wrong?
This woman usually doesn't like to talk to people, that is, she talks more with people who are particularly familiar and close, she and her second father have only met once or twice, and they are quite affectionate like this.
Well, if people say that the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, the relatives are the relatives, and they can see it immediately when they meet.
Thinking of blood and family affection, Lin Weiguo was immediately relieved and followed behind the two.
The mule cart that Lin Jialiang had arrived stopped on the east side of the open space at the station, and the big black mule was spewing white gas from its nostrils, and it was moving its hooves in place with some uneasiness.
There were a lot of people here, there was a strange smell in front of the station, and the whistle of the train was very loud, and the big black mule was actually a little scared.
Several people put their things away and climbed into the car, and Lin Zijiao found that there was already a thick sheepskin mattress on the car, and an old quilt was placed next to it.
Liu Zhiguo also climbed into the car, sat next to the wheel, and said to Lin Weiguo: "Weiguo, you move to the back, the front wheel is too heavy, and the mule can't pull it." ”
If the center of gravity of this kind of car is too forward, the car will be very heavy, which will increase the pressure on the animals pulling the cart, and if the center of gravity is too far back, the wheel will be too light, and the car will be unstable.
Lin Weiguo also understood this, and obediently moved to the back half of the car.
Lin Jiaming put the quilt on the legs of the brother and sister, and deliberately raised the quilt to surround Lin Zijiao tightly, only revealing her pair of big eyes, and then jumped on the other side of the carriage and commanded the big black mule to set off.
The road conditions in Bayan County are not very good, most of the roads are potholed because of disrepair, and after leaving the county, it becomes a loess road, which is even more difficult to walk.
The mule cart did not have a shock suspension system, and after more than two hours of walking, the forest was bumpy and the whole body seemed to be falling apart.
The weather was too cold, as the sun sank a little bit westward, the temperature kept dropping, and the white breath exhaled from his nose formed a thick frost flower on his eyebrows and bangs, and Lin Zijiao could only shrink his head into the quilt as much as possible.
Lin Weiguo was obviously more adaptable to this kind of cold than her, and the hair on his forehead was also frosted, but he didn't care, looking very leisurely.
Lin Jiaming and Liu Zhiguo were used to riding mule carts, the two of them loaded cigarette bags and pots, and gossiped without a pair, while Lin Zijiao was so excited that his heart was pounding as the mule cart got closer and closer to the village.
