Chapter 4 Dad Comes Home
It has been three days since she was deceived by Aunt Jiang to go home and go on a blind date with her son that day, and in the past three days, Wang Xingjun has brought something to Chenjia Village from time to time to find Chen Linlin, which made Chen Linlin very embarrassed, and the neighbors all know that Wang Xingjun is pursuing Chen Linlin, and he comes three or four times a day, and he doesn't know if Wang Xingjun has gone home after being driven back by himself.
Every time Wang Xingjun appeared, he would be frightened, that is, he was afraid that his grandmother would know, but the paper could not contain the fire. This night, as soon as I finished eating, I was stopped by my grandmother. "Sit down, I have something to ask you. Obviously, you go back to your room. This is the first time that the grandmother drove the grandson away without waiting for the grandson to finish eating, which shows how angry the grandmother is at this time.
Chen Mingming was also obviously stunned, but he still obediently put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at his sister, and saw that his sister lowered her head as if she had done something wrong. I wanted to help my sister say good things, but as soon as I wanted to speak, my grandmother glared back, and I was so frightened that I quickly left my sister and went back to the room without righteousness.
After waiting for the meeting, Chen Linlin knew that there might be a turn for the better when she spoke first, so she quickly explained, "Grandma, I know what you want to ask, but things are not what you think. Don't listen to the nonsense of those women who chew the root of their tongues, I didn't have anything to do with that Wang Xingjun, and I didn't promise him anything. ”
"If you don't do anything, people will look for you and not others. You didn't do anything, people brought gifts every time they came. The tone was stern, as if Chen Linlin had done something embarrassing and ruined her old man's reputation.
"But I didn't confiscate his gifts, and besides, I drove him away without letting him into the house, what do you want me to do? Chen Linlin was also a little angry, and she was also very aggrieved.
"Let me tell you Linlin, the most important thing for a woman is her reputation, and if your reputation is bad, no one will want to marry you even if you look like a flower. Later, I will find some men outside to take home. I'll just find someone to marry you, do you believe it or not?" grandma angrily pointed at Chen Linlin's nose and scolded.
"Calling you grandma is because I respect you, what time is it, you still think it's an arranged marriage in the old society. Chen Linlin thought that it was a big deal to run away from home, and she didn't have a sense of belonging to this family anyway. If it was Chen Linlin in the past, maybe the district would obey you, but I am not.
The grandmother angrily called her grandson out, "Obviously, you can write to your father now, and ask him to come back to me immediately and take away his baby daughter, I can't control it." After finishing speaking, he felt depressed, picked up the rice bowl on the table and threw it on the ground, and with a pop, Chen Mingming was also startled.
Chen Linlin was a little afraid that this grandmother would not be angry with herself, and she wanted to be soft and humble, but when she thought of her own marriage matters, this kind of thing must be argued on reason, if she admits her mistake this time, it may lead to the loss of marital autonomy. It's okay to call Dad back, I've long wanted to go out. Seeing that my younger brother didn't write a letter for himself, he was dragged by his grandmother to the room to get paper and pens.
Chen Linlin made up her mind and said, "Brother, you go and write." My sister went out to work and earned money, so I bought you good clothes to wear. ”
The younger brother reluctantly went into the room with his grandmother to write a letter, looking at the broken bowl on the ground, and his heart was broken.
The next morning, my grandmother went out with my brother, saying that she was going to send a letter. But my younger brother came back from school and secretly told himself that his grandmother had gone to Wangjia Village. Originally, I was going to make it clear today, but Wang Xingjun didn't come for a day and thought that he couldn't retreat because he knew the difficulty, but this was okay, so he didn't have to open his mouth to refuse.
The days are still the same as before, day by day, but since that day, grandma and herself rarely talk, and she has a trace of isolation from grandma.
Five days later, in the afternoon, when I went out to find Erqi to pull loach grass together, my father dressed as a migrant worker came in outside the courtyard gate.
Chen Linlin said, "Dad, you're back." He took the luggage in the urea fertilizer bag on his father's shoulder, and moved into the house with great difficulty.
Chen Sheng was very pleased to look at his daughter's gray face full of smiles. "Linlin, did you provoke your grandma?" "My mother knows that she is a very strong person, and she has always disliked Linlin's granddaughter, I remember that when she first gave birth to Linlin, Linlin's mother was scolded by her mother, and it was not until she gave birth four years later that she had a smile, and it was no wonder that her mother was made by family planning.
Chen Linlin put down her luggage and took a bench out for her father to sit, and she also sat down next to her and said, "Dad, grandma has a bad temper, I don't want to stay at home anymore, I want to go out to work." ”
Chen Sheng molded his daughter's head with his rough big hands, "It's very hard to work outside, Dad is working on the construction site outside, you must be so young that you can't bear it, if you go to the factory, you have to work fourteen or fifteen hours a day." Without acquaintances, Dad doesn't worry that you're there alone. You can stay at home for a few years, and when you're older, your dad will take you out, okay?"
Holding his father's hand and looking at the small cracks on each finger, he knew that it was not easy for his father to be outside, and it must be very hard for him to work in the factory, but when he thought of his grandmother, he instinctively felt a little scared.
After thinking about it, he said firmly; Dad, I'm not afraid of hard work, you take me to Guangzhou, and I'll look for a factory by myself there. If you earn money, you can reduce the burden on your family, so that you and your mother will work less. ”
Chen Sheng saw that his daughter was so sensible and well-behaved, so he agreed, and took his daughter's hand, "Linlin, go into the house, Dad came back this time and bought you two new clothes, try to see if you can wear them." ”
After Linlin followed her father into the house, the clothes in her father's bag were all poured on the table. It's all new clothes, there are children and old people, no wonder it's so heavy. None of the relatives in the emotional family were pulled down.
Chen Sheng found two sets of the same style of clothes, that is, the colors of the clothes were different. Two black trousers, two women's plaid shirts. "Linlin, let's see if you like it. ”
"Dad, you've only been there for less than half a year and you've made a fortune. "Dad went out to work or he was picked up when he first came. At that time, a distant relative contracted a project, and there was a lack of workers to help with the work, so he found his father. At that time, my father was still very hesitant, so I stood up and said that I would take care of my grandmother and younger brother, so I had my parents to travel.
Chen Sheng looked at his daughter with a smile, "What is it that makes a fortune and doesn't get rich, the construction site has just been completed, and some money has been paid." ”
Lin Lin took the clothes and looked at them and was still very satisfied, although she looked at the clothes now that they were old-fashioned, but at least they were much stronger than the clothes with three patches on her body.
As soon as I walked into the room and wanted to change it, the grandmother outside the house came in with a hoe, and the grandmother must have gotten the news, otherwise she wouldn't have come back so early. When Grandma entered the house, she talked to Dad about something, and she spoke very quietly. I guess it's still that thing, I thought about it and quickly changed my clothes and came out and just stepped into the door.
Grandma's face froze. "A, why are you wearing such good clothes. He looked at his son on the side reproachfully.
Chen Sheng's eyes lit up when he looked at his daughter's dress, but he still laughed and said: "No, Linlin is going out, there must be two decent clothes." ”
Chen Linlin knew that her grandmother was here, and she didn't have the right to speak, but the things she was discussing now were related to herself. So despite my grandmother's cold eyes, I sat down next to my father.
"This time I came back mainly to pick up Linlin, and I took over the new job on the construction site, and the time was tight. I'll take Linlin away tomorrow morning. Looking at the clothes on the table, he said, "Mom, I have divided these clothes, these are for the third brother's family, and these are for the second sister's family." And these are a few for you. These clothes are not wanted by people in the second-hand market city, but they are all the same as new, and they don't cost much money. ”
Grandma smiled when she heard that she didn't spend any money: "Linlin, your dad didn't eat much in the car." You go cook early. ”
Chen Linlin had no choice but to cook. Looking up at the sunset, it was still early, and I thought about picking a few water spinach in the field and coming back. I said hello to my grandmother and father and went out.
Passing by Er's house, I saw Er's house feeding the chicks in front of the door, so I stopped Er'an. Eryi came to him, looked at Chen Linlin as if she had something on her mind, and couldn't help but care: "What's the matter, your father came back to scold you?"
"How do you know my dad is back?" Curiously looked at Erqi and asked.
"It's spread in the village that your dad came back in Ergou's grandfather's tractor. Erqi knew about the recent quarrel between Linlin and Grandma Li, and looked at Linlin with some concern.
Lin Lin knew that Ergou's grandfather was a famous loudspeaker in the village, and even his mouth was indispensable to what happened a few days ago.
looked at Eryi's concerned expression and sighed. "Er, can you accompany me to pick vegetables? I don't want to talk to you. ”
Erqi took Linlin's hand, "Let's go, it just so happens that I'm fine." The sun shone on the two little lovely children, pulling out two long figures.
