Zhao Qian left, walked very decisively, and did not look back.

Lin Wan's child often thought of the sky that day, which was bluer than usual, or darker than usual. Lin Wan'er can't remember clearly, but sometimes she always thinks of the sky that day, and thinks of Zhao Gan's back, which seems to coincide with a certain figure before the crossing, overlapping together, for a moment, she can't tell the difference between real and illusory, clear and hazy, anyway, he just left.

The Lin family's money is all invested in small workshops and recruitment, but now that the cocoon is gone, there is no way to talk about the rest, the money cannot be recovered, and the so-called revitalization of the Lin family can only be a monkey fishing for the moon, and what can only be started is nothingness.

The Lin family returned to the past, to the days when there was no silver money left, and to the days when Zhao Qian had not yet come to Lanzhou. Although the money kept entering the Lin family's courtyard, Lin Wan'er no longer seemed to be able to raise her fanatical interest in silver in the past.

And Lin Wan'er and Chen Xiaoxiao broke up, it has nothing to do with misunderstanding or not, it's just that there is a gap between the two, and they can't go back to the past.

Jane's family came to the Lin family's courtyard and persuaded Lin Wan'er to relax.

Lin Wan'er replied with a smile: "I'm fine." ”

But Jane became more and more uneasy, a little helpless and painful, holding it in their hearts, it was difficult to say.

Han Qingshan often came to the Lin family's courtyard, and the number of times became more and more frequent, and he perfectly took over Zhao Gan's position. Han Qingshan does not have the shelf of everyone's son, and he is also proficient in chopping wood and cooking, the most important thing is that Han Qingshan is not like Zhao Gan, he often quarrels with Lin Wan'er, and his temperament is more easy-going.

Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin quickly accepted Han Qingshan, and the three of them got along well and enjoyed themselves. Only Dabao and the three of them don't like Han Qingshan from their hearts, especially Dabao sometimes always asks at inappropriate times: "Brother Zhao, where is it?" ”

The crowd who asked a sentence was speechless, and Lin Wan'er said softly: "It's dead." The tone is light, not painful or itchy.

For this matter, Lin Qianyi specially summoned the three of Dabao together, reprimanded them fiercely, and warned the three of them not to mention Zhao Gan's matter in the future. The three of Dabao were aggrieved and wanted to refute it, but when they saw the third brother's stern face, they didn't dare to say more.

Only the smart Baoyu changed his tone and said, "Third brother, how do I feel that there is something missing in this small courtyard?" ”

Lin Qianyi was slightly stunned, as if he felt that there was indeed something missing in the Lin family's courtyard, what was that thing? Lin Qianyi looked into the small courtyard, it was still the same courtyard as before, the mottled courtyard gate, the chopped firewood, and the blue sky like sea water overhead.

What's missing in the Lin family's courtyard? Lin Qianyi thought about it for a long time and didn't think about it.

When Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian left Lanzhou, the spring was already slightly penetrating, but when they returned to Lanzhou, the pace of this spring seemed to have retreated a few steps, and the weather began to get cold again.

When she was packing up her clothes, Lin Wan'er saw the expensive clothes left by Zhao Gan, as well as the cyan cloak, the corners of her mouth curled, and she wanted to cry and laugh.

When he first entered Lanzhou, Zhao Gan wore this clothes, was beaten by himself, and then lay on the bed for more than ten days, and then followed himself to sell tofu, and then it was publishing, the Lantern Festival Poetry Club and the collection of silkworm cocoons out of Lanzhou, and finally Lin Wan'er remembered that night in the cave, there was a very warm place, and she couldn't help but lean in that direction.

At that time, Zhao Qian seemed to want to tell him something, but he fell asleep, why did Zhao Qian come to Lanzhou, and what was he for?

Lin Wan'er let out a long sigh and locked the clothes back into the closet, maybe she didn't have to take them out again.

At lunchtime, Lin Wan'er solemnly announced: "Starting tomorrow, I will sell tofu from scratch!" ”

Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin disagreed, saying, "Eldest sister, don't work hard anymore. ”

Han Qingshan disagreed.

At this time, the Lin family was not short of money, but they were missing some things that were taken away by Zhao Gan, and Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin couldn't think of what it was.

Baoyu stood up inopportunely and said, "You don't agree, if Brother Zhao is here, you will definitely agree." Don't look at Brother Zhao's usual quarrels with the eldest sister, but whatever the eldest sister wants to do, Brother Zhao will agree. ”

Lin Qianyi glared at Baoyu fiercely, Baoyu's eyes looked at his nose and nose, and he regarded it as invisible.

Han Qingshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Baoyu with a smile.

Lin Wan'er was not moved by Baoyu's words, but frowned slightly and said, "If you don't sell tofu, what am I doing?" ”

One sentence stopped Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin. Lin Hanlin was full of thoughts, and he was afraid that the eldest sister would be sick at home, so he said: "If the eldest sister insists on going, then let's go." But don't get tired. ”

Lin Wan'er was immediately very happy, happily eating, happily making tofu, and the next day happily carrying a basket to sell tofu door-to-door, and then went home at noon and happily counted copper plates.

Han Qingshan followed behind Lin Wan'er, just like Zhao Gan before, but Han Qingshan would not call her aunt "sister" with a flamboyant tongue, nor would she hug Dabao's neck and whisper, let alone bargain with Lin Wan'er to discuss who would hold the basket.

Han Qingshan is much better than Zhao Qian, he can sell tofu elegantly, he will buy all kinds of snacks for Dabao, although Dabao is disdainful, but Han Qingshan will not be angry. He will take the initiative to hold the basket for Lin Wan'er, and he will not say a word of tiredness from beginning to end.

After selling tofu during the day, Lin Wan'er went to Huafang Street to sell old tofu at night, and Huafang Street was still the same, with red lights and colorful colors.

At the corner of Huafang Street, Lin Wan'er will also buy a few soup dumplings, Dabao eats very fragrantly, Han Qingshan eats very elegantly, Lin Wan'er gently tears open a bun skin, dips it in oil and water, and puts it in her mouth to chew and swallow slowly. Sometimes looking up, Lin Wan'er can still see her fourth child sitting on a painting boat in a daze, thinking that she left Lanzhou some time ago, and the knot in the fourth child's heart has been opened, but now it seems that she is still in a dead end, struggling to get up.

Sometimes passing by Chen Xiaoxiao's painting boat, Dabao clamored to go in and have a look, but was sternly stopped by Lin Wan'er. Dabao has seen the eldest sister angry, but he has never seen the eldest sister with red eyes and no speech, every look and movement is with a beak that cannot be ignored, Dabao was so frightened that he cried.

Hearing Dabao's crying outside, Chen Xiaoxiao hid behind the curtain of the painting boat, attached his ear to the curtain, and listened quietly.

In the distance, Lin Wan'er was carrying a basket, her figure couldn't see clearly between the shadows, and Dabao wiped her tears while following Lin Wan'er step by step.

There is also the elegant Han Qing shirt, with a folding fan in his hand, and his steps are fair.

Lin Wan'er is busy, walking the streets and alleys in Lanzhou, the so-called Lin family, author, Lin Meiren, Lin Mulan, Lin Bodhisattva, Lin Qingyu, Lin Chengzi, Lin Jiangxian These titles are all fake, only the name Lin Wan'er is true.

Sometimes, Lin Wan'er is selling tofu, and when she walks in the long alley, she always hears someone behind her calling her name.

"Wan'er!"

The voice is cheap.

Lin Wan'er was happy at first, then with anger on her face, she turned her head, and before she could say the sentence "Is Wan'er your name?" she found that there was nothing at the end of the alley, and when she looked into the distance, there was still nothing.

This kind of thing happened several times in a row, which made Han Qingshan a little puzzled.

The days are spent unconsciously, no matter how the weather changes, but it can never stop the pace of spring, there is a warm wind, in the heart, blowing away the cold winter, spring is finally coming.

Early in the morning, Lin Wan'er got up early, made breakfast, dressed the three of Dabao, and had breakfast. Lin Qianyi went to a private school, Lin Hanlin didn't come back last night, and Baoyu and Yubao stayed at home to play.

Lin Wan'er took Dabao by the hand, picked up the basket and prepared to go out, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a small yellow flower sticking out of her head from the crack in the broken door. Lin Wan'er squatted down and stroked it lightly with her hand, the little yellow flower was very small and did not have many petals, but it grew up in the cracks like a fighter, stubborn and strong, persistent and brave.

In previous years, at this time, a hundred flowers were already blooming and blooming, and this year it is strange, and only today have I seen the first small yellow flower.

After you left, the flowers bloomed late.
