100. Because only that
Transfer, transfer, transfer, turn halfway, Wei Dongyi was exhausted, she held Wei's mother's urn and got off at the entrance of Yuejia Village, there was no one at the entrance of the village, and the bleak wind blew from afar, blowing the dry straw piles in the fields.
This is the winter in the south, the dead vines and old trees are faint, the cold suddenly hits, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, holding a fire bucket similar to a heating kettle, the iron bucket is filled with carbon, the carbon fire is vigorous, the burning Wei Dongyi sees that it is hot, the pedestrian glances at her casually, just like looking at a passer-by who has gone the wrong way, his eyebrows are stretched, and he smiles with satisfaction, "Come to travel?" ”
Fluent Mandarin is indeed rare in this small village, Wei Dongyi became suspicious, and replied quietly, "I'm here to look for relatives." ”
The man was still laughing, maybe the weather was too cold, and when he spoke, a layer of white mist came out of his mouth, "Is the surname Lin of your relatives?" ”
A hint of surprise flashed on Wei Dongyi's face, "Yes, his surname is Lin, do you know him?" ”
"There is only one family surnamed Lin here." The man happily explained, "It's my family, my name is Lin Dong, is the relative you are looking for called Lin Fushou, he is my father." ”
Such a coincidence? The mystery in Wei Dongyi's heart is getting bigger and bigger: "Are you waiting for me here?" ”
"yes." The man replied unreservedly, "Your friend arrived yesterday, and my father was afraid that you would get lost, so he asked me to wait for you here early in the morning, and I froze to death, so I can be regarded as waiting for you." ”
"Friends? What friends? Wei Dongyi walked forward side by side with him, and asked tentatively, "Is it a man and a woman?" ”
"No, it's just a woman."
In this way, it shouldn't be Yongqingfan, maybe it's Aunt Lin, Wei Dongyi couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart, she smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for leading the way." ”
"You're welcome."
Lin Dong explained to her all the way, saying that the young people in the village had gone out to work, leaving only the old man at home with the children, he was one of the few young people left in the village, mainly because his father was not in a good condition, and there was no one to take care of him, and he gave birth to two children who were not very old, so he couldn't go out to work at all.
Listening to what he said, Wei Dongyi thought that the economic conditions of his family should not be good, she walked into the courtyard of the Lin family, only to find that she was wrong, although it is not as good as the high-end villas in the city outside, but in this small mountain village, the independent small building of the Lin family is still quite high-end, located next to the courtyard of the Lin family is a dilapidated wooden house, Lin Dong embarrassedly touched his head and explained to Wei Dongyi, "My father lives here, he doesn't like the building, he wants to live here, don't get me wrong, I didn't drive him out." ”
Wei Dongyi nodded noncommittally in understanding.
"Dad, Dad, Miss Wei is here, where are you?" Lin Dong opened his voice and shouted a few words, no one came out of the cabin, but two children ran out of the building, and swayed towards Lin Dong's body, "Dad, Dad." ”
Lin Dong quickly put down the fire bucket in his hand, and picked up the child one by one, "Nannan, Guagua, call Auntie, this is Aunt Wei, call someone." ”
"Hello Auntie." The two pink babies blinked and looked at Wei Dongyi.
Wei Dongyi couldn't tell which one was Nannan and which one was Guagua, she felt that the two little children looked about the same, smiled, and took out six banknotes in her pocket, "Auntie's gift to you." ”
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Dong was not polite, and looked down at the daughters who took the banknotes dotingly, "Say thank you, Auntie." ”
"Thank you, Auntie." The same voice soothed Wei Dongyi's uneasy feelings, she turned her head to look at the cabin, and asked, "Isn't Uncle Lin here?" ”
"At this hour, my dad probably went to sweep my husband's grave." Lin Dong put the child down, raised his head and shouted to the second floor, "Xiaofang, I'll take Miss Wei to the old mansion to have a look, the children are put in the yard, you look at it, don't let them play in the water." ”
Xiaofang is Lin Dong's daughter-in-law, although Lin Dong is a big and rough one, when he talks about his daughter-in-law and children, his face is as tender as water, and he can't melt it away.
"I haven't met Mr., but I heard from the old people in the village that he is a good man and will build houses and roads for them." Lin Dong took Wei Dongyi to the old mansion in his mouth, and said as he walked, "My father has never mentioned him to me, my husband is buried on the mountain, and the cleanest grave is his, and my father has to go up to clean him every day, which is very diligent than cleaning his own room." ”
Mr. is Wei Dongyi's uncle, her grandfather's only son, it's funny to say, her grandfather was dominating in the officialdom, but his son finally lived in seclusion in the mountains and died in his hometown, Wei's mother had a deep grudge against her brother, but in her advice to Wei Dongyi, she said that she wanted to return to her hometown and be buried with her brother, so that he would never be lonely again.
This uncle has never been married in his life, has never left any offspring, and has not left any traces, no one remembers that he was admitted to college with the first grade in the country, no one remembers that he was suave, and there were several women who fought for him and were jealous, he died, lying alone in the yellow earth, letting insects gnaw his corpse, his handsome face was no more, his young body was broken, he had been lonely for so long, and finally someone was going to accompany him, Wei Dongyi suddenly understood Wei's mother's good intentions, some people said that companionship is the longest confession, For Wei's mother, companionship is also her last love for her brother.
"Here we are." Lin Dong's voice interrupted Wei Dongyi's thoughts, "This is here, Mr. lived here decades ago, after he died, people in the village occasionally came over to cool off in the summer, but the key was placed in my house, and no one went in, the things inside are there, Miss Wei, you can go in and take a look." ”
The bulky old wooden door was pushed open with a "squeak", the drag sound was very long, like the sigh of an old man, without the cover of the door, the first item that caught Wei Dongyi's eyes was a stone tablet engraved with words on the corridor, I pity it, I am here, is this written by her uncle?
Wei Dongyi is like a modern person who has traveled to the old society, she is wonderfully integrated with here, there is no disharmony in the slightest, everything here is antique, the wooden bed carved with a phoenix, the bronze mirror that is not careful, and the wooden comb without a trace of temperature,
What a wonderful picture, a few decades ago, there was a person with a quarter of her blood who was resting here, Wei Dongyi stroked the old things on the table, closed his eyes, as if he could smell the past here, there was a man standing here, he looked at her and smiled, he said, "This is my home." ”
"Miss Wei, Miss Wei." Lin Dong followed behind Wei Dongyi, and said cautiously, "Over there is Mr.'s master bedroom, it's all very clean here, my father often comes over to clean it, there won't be any problems." ”
He mistakenly thought that Wei Dongyi was dissatisfied with the hygiene here, so his face was so solemn, Wei Dongyi lowered his head and slowly stepped out of the study.
Maybe it's because of the climate in the south, the pond in the yard is very full, and the breeze blows, startling a little wave on the water, let's stop here today, Wei Dongyi stopped and asked Lin Dong in a flat tone, "Do you have a hotel here?" ”
"A hotel?" Lin Dong shook his head in confusion, "No, there is no such thing in the countryside, Miss Wei, you can live in my house, I still have two empty rooms upstairs." ”
Wei Dongyi thought of the friend he said, "Which friend do you say I am, where does she live?" ”
"She." Lin Dongle smiled, "She lives here, yesterday my father cleaned up the house with her, and she lived in the bedroom next to Mr.'s master bedroom, Miss Wei, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
Wei Dongyi turned around, with a strange expression, "Live here?" ”
"yes, baby, are you going to live with me?" A hoarse female voice came from behind her, and a bland word caused Wei Dongyi to tremble inexplicably, Lin Dong raised his arm and greeted the woman warmly, "Miss Yong, you're back." ”
"Well, I stayed with your father on the mountain for a long time, and he went back, as if looking for you."
"Oh, oh, then I'll go back first, Miss Wei, you talk slowly, and when you have dinner later, remember to go to my house with Miss Yong." Lin Dong was in a hurry, and his words were not explained clearly, so he left in a hurry.
Only the two of them were left, and it was the two of them again, Wei Dongyi didn't dare to look back, and the woman behind him didn't move, and after a long time, the woman smiled, "I'm dying of a cold, you little woman with no conscience, aren't you going to help me?" ”
Such a brisk tone, as if there was no problem between the two of them, Wei Dongyi turned around slowly, and looked at the woman expressionlessly, the woman's eyes looked at her brightly, her eyes were very thorough, she didn't wear much, standing in the cold wind, she pressed the cold in the winter with her courage, like a cold plum, proudly standing in the snow, just in an instant, Wei Dongyi's hatred for her suddenly disappeared, she wanted to go over and warm the woman in front of her with her own arms, she wanted to sue her, Whenever you show up, I'll fall in love with you all over again.
It's not because of how good you are, it's not because of how cheap I am, because it's you, that person can only be you, Yong Qingfan.
