Chapter 2 Returning Home

Returning home from the hospital, Lin Shulan took the "second" rickshaw. www.biquge.info It's just that this time, the coachman doesn't stop and go like in his previous life, and he is still interested in chatting with her, telling some allusions and wild histories that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and she doesn't have the heart to look at the surrounding landscape and appreciate the unusual march......

The home has been destroyed, and now it is nothing more than a place to live. The place where Shu Yufeng and the others rented used to be part of the Guogong Mansion, and the place was not small, with several courtyards large and small, and all the people were accommodated loosely. When the Lin family fled, they brought their relatives and friends with them, dozens of people, old and young.

It was also because they escaped early, otherwise even if there were relatives in Beiping, there were so many people who fled, and the big mansion of the family would have been rented out long ago, how could they still settle together with a good environment and a good location like now?

Shu Yufeng's father, Shu Haitian, is a well-known leader of the green forest in the Liaoji area, and has six sworn brothers, and he is the second in line. Among the seven brothers, Zheng Lao and his wife died in the turf battle with other locks, leaving only one son and one daughter, who grew up with Shu Yufeng. Daughter Zheng Wenzhi Chinese New Year's Eve is nine years old today, married the Guan family in Xi'an, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. His son, Zheng Wenxi, is 43 years old this year, and has three sons and two daughters.

On the night of "918", Zheng Wenxi led his 22-year-old eldest son and 19-year-old second son and his eldest son-in-law who was at his home to follow Lin Zhengfang, Wenxi's daughter-in-law led two daughters who were 20 and 17 years old respectively, and a 13-year-old son, the eldest daughter-in-law took her 14-month-old grandson, and the younger daughter-in-law fled to Beiping with a five-month pregnancy.

Shen Laosan and Shen Laoqi are brothers, during the Russo-Japanese War, Shen Laosan protected the family of the locks and died, and died under the guns of the Russians, Shen Laoqi was also seriously injured, it is okay to marry a wife, but it is not possible to have children. Therefore, Shen Laosan's only son, Shen Kaishan, took care of two families, married two wives, and gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

Shen Laosan's wife, Shen Wen, has an elder brother who does business in Shanghai, born with a father-in-law, and has thirteen daughters in the sixth room. Therefore, Shen Kaishan's family of eight is not here.

Among the seven brothers, Bai Laosi, who saved Shu Haitian with his own life, has the worst temper, but he is obedient to his two daughters, as can be seen from the names taken, the eldest daughter is called Jin Zhi, and the younger daughter is called Yuye. Vulgar is vulgar, but the intention of being a father is clear and real. Bai Laosi and Shen Laosan are brothers in the same school, and they have the best relationship, and they want to marry their children and in-laws. But the incense couldn't be broken, so he married his youngest daughter Yuye to Shen Kaishan; The eldest daughter Jin Zhi sat at the door to recruit a husband, who knew that the man would leave without saying goodbye a few years later, leaving two sons, the seventeen-year-old eldest son also followed Lin Zhengfang on the night of "918", leaving only Bai Jinzhi with the fourteen-year-old younger son.

Chen Lao's five sons, who died of typhoid fever, were the most prosperous, and his four sons gave birth to nine grandchildren. The four sons and the eldest grandson also followed Lin Zhengfang on the night of "918", and the remaining four daughters-in-law took the eldest sixteenth and youngest six-year-old children to Beiping.

Duan Lao Liu is the best and the most "unique" of the seven brothers. He was not from the Northeast, and when Shu Yufeng was thirteen years old, he dug out Duan Lao Liu, who was cold and hungry and faint, from the snow, and then joined the gang. He rarely speaks, his melancholy expression is matched with his handsome face, and his extraordinary skills have fascinated the hearts of many big girls and little daughters-in-law, but he has always lived alone.

Among the descendants of the seven brothers, only Lin Shulan voted for him, and Lin Shulan's internal and external cultivation skills were taught by him since he was a child. It's just that after Lin Shulan went abroad when she was twelve years old, Duan Lao Liu also ran away, and he didn't know what to do.

Shu Yufeng is Shu Haitian's only daughter, and she also rode a horse and fought with people to the death, and she is a veritable young master. The husband who married, that is, Lin Shulan's father Lin Zhengfang, and her childhood sweetheart, have a very good relationship. After Lin Zhengfang was born in the Northeast Army, Shu Haitian also washed his hands.

Except for Shen Laoqi, who arrived in Beiping for his wife from his ancestral hometown of Beiping, the descendants of the other brothers still followed Shu Haitian and lived together to take care of each other.

Lin Shulan, who thought about it all the way, didn't realize that she had arrived until the rickshaw stopped. In the past, it should have been extraordinary, but now it is so depressed that it can't even find a little paint in front of the pothole gate, a bunch of women and children gathered tall, short, fat and thin, as soon as the rickshaw stopped, they surrounded it, and the words rang out.

Although Lin Shulan is not Shu Yufeng's biological son, in the old-style etiquette, she is an ironclad mother and daughter, this time she escaped from death, and her daughter-in-law and children were all at the door. Every time a face appeared, something involuntarily appeared in Lin Shulan's brain, so much that she couldn't react and felt confused.

After a while, Shu Yufeng said: "Miss Lan is so good this time, don't worry." In the evening, let's make dumplings, a meat and ball, which can be regarded as taking the Lan girl home. You guys get busy first, let Lan girl see her mother. ”

Everyone woke up, and the mother and daughter experienced death and life, and they haven't met yet! Hurriedly got out of the way, and the children next to them heard Shu Yufeng say making dumplings, and cheered again. Since that night, the children have not seen much meat for more than a month.

Shu Yufeng took out a few pieces of ocean and gave it to the daughter-in-law of her brother Shu Chenglin, but this daughter-in-law, who was less than thirty, refused to take it: "Eldest sister, what are you doing, Lan Yatou has taken such a big step, give her dumplings to celebrate, and use you to pay for it!"

Zheng Wenxi's daughter-in-law is one year older than Shu Yufeng, but Zheng Wenxi is younger than Shu Yufeng, so she also calls the eldest sister, she has a stable personality and excellent popularity. Lan girl, this meal, we are invited to be a sister-in-law. ”

Cheng Lin's daughter-in-law is a cheerful person, she turned around and left after speaking, and at this time she led the two and a half children out of the alley. These people are friends of old and young for two lifetimes, and Shu Yufeng is not hypocritical, and leads Lin Shulan to meet her mother inside.

Lin Shulan's biological mother, He Wanzhi, was hit in the leg by two stray bullets on the night of 918, injured her bones, and had to recuperate. Because she was worried about her daughter, her injuries were not getting better, and at this time she wanted to go to the door to meet her daughter, struggling to get off the ground, and her third wife, Liu Jin'e, was tired and sweaty.

He Wanzhi gave birth to Lin Shulan when she was twenty years old, and now she is only thirty-six years old, but her cheeks are so thin that she is sunken, her face is yellow, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are clearly visible, tears are flowing from her bloodshot eyes, and the hands stretched out towards Lin Shulan are thin, with protruding green tendons, and she looks haggard and comparable to Shu Yufeng, who is more than ten years older than her.

In Lin Shulan's memory, before "918", she was still a charming young woman, with a slightly plump figure, white skin, a pair of just right clear phoenix eyes to ease the overly delicate mouth and nose, a few wisps of weakness looming under the dignity, a gentle beauty. In just over 40 days, it has become so .....

Suddenly, Lin Shulan realized the state of mind of the woman in front of her: she was wounded by a gunshot, and she was also on the line of life and death, and her husband, whom she relied on wholeheartedly, took the gun and left desperately on that night when the guns shook the world and people were flustered, and his life and death are still unknown; The only daughter she could rely on, the daughter who was beautiful and excellent and made her proud, lay in the hospital for dozens of days, and the doctors were helpless and had to die.

Lin Shulan couldn't bear it, this poor woman didn't know that her baby daughter was really gone. Lin Shulan stepped forward and hugged He Wanzhi tightly in her arms.

It was only at this time that He Wanzhi, who had been excited for a long time, let out a "wow" and cried. Four days ago, I learned that my daughter woke up, and I felt better with the same heart fried in the oil pan. In the days when Lin Shulan was in a coma, Shu Yufeng was not allowed to go to the hospital, and she opened her mouth to say: "What are you going to do?" And not the last! I'm watching, you all take care of yourselves! "The choking man can't say anything.

Looking at Shu Yufeng's expression again, he looked calm, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. Led by Wenxi's daughter-in-law, who have lived with her for decades, they are busy standing on Shu Yufeng's side to persuade them.

Shu Yufeng, who has bright eyes like this, but has a calm expression, and the most qualified Wenxi daughter-in-law has only met once, and the consequences were ...... I don't want to.

He Wanzhi is obedient to Shu Yufeng, she can't move, she can't see her daughter's face, she can't help but think wildly, her daughter is disabled? Paralyzed? How will she live in the future? Thinking about it makes my mind weak, and my head is dizzy, but I can't stop it.

Now that her daughter walked in with dignity and held her arms firmly, He Wanzhi cried with joy, and her heartache for many days of panic came out. Infected Lin Shulan, Shu Yufeng, and Liu Jin'e were also in tears.

He Wanzhi cried happily, but Shu Yufeng didn't dare to let her weak cry like this and hurt her body: "Okay, okay, Lan Yatou is back well, you cry like this, scare her again." Don't cry, ah, talk to each other. ”

Liu Jin'e also wiped away her tears, and persuaded with a smile: "Don't talk about the second sister, don't you also cry secretly several times, eldest sister?" Thinking about us behind our backs, we don't know! Lan girl, you have been hospitalized for the past few days, and several of us have not stopped in tears for a day. God has eyes, you are back well, accompany your mother to talk well, and the third mother will go to incense the old lady. ”

Liu Jin'e entered the door when Lin Shulan was eight years old, and she is less than thirty this year. Her mother's family is in the medicinal herb business, and she is the youngest, with two older brothers and one sister. As far as Lin Shulan knows, Liu Jin'e, who is capable and quite good-looking, is willing to marry Lin Zhengfang, who is almost 20 years older than her, or to be a concubine, the main thing is to find a backer for her own business: there are many bandits in the Northeast, and with Lin Zhengfang, who is appreciated by Zhang Zuolin, and he is an officer of the Northeast Army who was born in the green forest, standing behind him, the Liu family's business will be much less troublesome.

Before Lin Shulan went abroad at the age of twelve, she was busy learning what her grandmother Mrs. Lin, grandfather Shu Haitian and Duan Laoliu had taught her, and she had no special impression of Liu Jin'e, she only felt that her eyes were bright, and she didn't smile or speak. Listening to her words now, Lin Shulan feels that there are similarities with the words that Lin Daiyu said when she first entered Jiafu, and Wang Xifeng cried and laughed.
