Chapter 2 The Lin Family

The farther north you go, the more the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the leaves on the mountain are red like fire and yellow like gold under the baptism of autumn frost, and they are arranged in clear layers, which makes people full of joy of harvest.

The caravan is engaged in the business of buying and selling, and generally travels from the capital to Yuzhou once in two or three months. The person in charge of the caravan is surnamed Li, named Li Ping, in his thirties, he is a kind person, and he also takes good care of Lin Yu along the way.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu had arrived in Liyun County, Yuzhou. Lin Yu paid the other half of the car money as agreed, said goodbye to Master Li, went to the county government to re-register his household registration, and ate something more, and then walked towards his home on the outskirts of the city.

Lin Yu walked for nearly an hour before returning to Linjiagou. At this time, Linjiagou had just finished harvesting corn and soybeans, and the fields on the mountain looked bare and depressed.

Following the memory of the former master, Lin Yu walked into this small mountain village, which was somewhat similar to her childhood home, but it was very dilapidated. Walking in the village, there are a few families carrying soybeans to the grain drying field, passing by her are very puzzled to see, after all, outsiders do not often come to the village, let alone a big girl. Lin Yu didn't say hello to them either, but just walked towards his childhood home little by little with his memory.

Finally, Lin Yu saw a low grass house, a small fence yard, with four hens, and the vegetable garden on the side was cabbage and radish that had not yet been harvested.

Lin Yu watched quietly, not knowing how to walk in, whether to say "I'm back" or "Is anyone there".

At this time, a child ran out of the house, accompanied by the child's movement like the wind, followed by a straw sandal, and then a sharp voice shouted: "Little rabbit, see if you will steal food next time!" ”

The little boy ran faster when he heard the sound, and suddenly bumped into Lin Yu's arms, and when he looked up, a big girl was standing in front of him, and he immediately lowered his head in shame.

At this time, the people in the house also walked out, a woman in her thirties, slightly fat, holding a burning stick, jumped out to find the flying shoe, and when she saw Lin Yu, the whole person was embarrassed.

"Who are you?" The woman's face was slightly embarrassed.

"Is this Lin Zhishan's home?" After thinking about it, Lin Yu said his father's name.

"Who are you looking for? Who are you from Lin Zhishan? The woman was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"I'm the second in his family, is my dad at home?"

After hearing this, the woman looked at Lin Yu from head to toe, and then ran over enthusiastically, pulled the little boy in front of Lin Yu with one hand, took Lin Yu's hand and went into the house.

"Sister-in-law, you're back!" Then he turned back and shouted to the little boy, "Taicai, go to the barn and call your father and your brother back, and say that your eldest aunt is back!" "Just listen to the child" Hey! With a sound, Lin Yu was dragged into the house by the woman again.

There was no one in the house, so the woman pulled Lin Yu to sit on the edge of the kang and said, "It's back" and "I'm worried about death", and howled again as she spoke, saying "God bless".

Lin Yugang wanted to ask who else was in the family, so he heard a male voice in the outhouse ask, "Is the eldest sister back?" ”

Lin Yu hurriedly stood up from the edge of the kang, and when he saw the swarthy crop man, his eyes immediately became sour, probably because the former lord was too eager for family affection, and he unconsciously wanted to cry when he saw his relatives.

"Are you—big brother?" Lin Yu was a little unsure.

"Hey! I am! Lin Daquan was a little excited.

After a simple meeting, Lin Yu asked about his father and his family over the years.

The sister-in-law Sun finally stopped crying, and when she heard Lin Yu ask about the family, she howled again.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't seen me since you left home. I married your eldest brother when you went to Beijing, and you also know the conditions of our family, a family of six, poor jingling, living on such a few acres of land, and there is no money left all year round. In the fourth year of our marriage, your eldest nephew was only a little more than two years old, and your father led your brother and your younger brother to the mountains to hunt rabbits, but met a blind bear, and your father was slow to run, and was scratched by the blind bear. As a result, the front foot just came to pick up your father, and the blind bear came back, and your father asked them to run quickly, but he let the blind bear fall off the cliff and die! Sun howled as he spoke, so miserable that Lin Yu also shed some tears.

It was easy for everyone to cry, and Sun continued: "Later, it cost a lot of money to send it to your father, and I saw that your brother and your sister had to start a family, but who wants to marry our family!" Later, there was a family in Wangjiagou that said that they could marry, but they asked to marry instead. ”

"Marry instead?"

"Your sister married, his sister married, and now both families will be saved."

Lin Yu originally sounded uncomfortable, but when he heard that he was married in a different way, he sympathized with his sister even more.

Sun continued: "Later, your younger brother and sister are not worry-free, because there is no bride price, my mother does not hurt her less, she also has a nose that is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes, and her mother is angry, and she will not be able to toss her home." Later, when you reached the age of leaving the palace, my mother hoped that you could come back, but after waiting for a year, my mother said that I could climb back, and now I don't come back, I'm afraid I'm dead, so I never got up, and I died before the year passed. My poor mother, sister-in-law, why didn't you come back sooner! As he spoke, he howled as he grabbed Lin Yu's arm and slapped it.

Lin Yu's heart was also sad, he didn't expect his mother to die because he didn't see her, and he felt guilty, so he told Sun that he followed Lin Meiren into the cold palace.

After listening to what happened to Lin Yu, Sun stopped howling, and muttered something like "pitiful".

As he spoke, a young man walked in with a group of people and said loudly: "Dad, second uncle, they are here, come to see my aunt!" ”

When Sun saw the second family coming, he turned his head all of a sudden, but everyone didn't care about her.

Here, Lin Yu and Lin Erkui's family met, and they had to say hello for a while.

In this way, Lin Yu also roughly knows the current situation of the members of the family.

Lin Daquan married Sun's Shu'e and gave birth to two sons, Lin Taifu and Lin Taicai, this name was taken by Sun's relatives who were literate from their mother's family, and it was a little bit more than much, which means that these two children are more blessed and wealthy than Lin Daquan. Lin Erkui married Li's Yueling and gave birth to the eldest girl Lin Xiaohuan, the second girl Lin Xiaole and the son Lin Zhongjun. also listened to Sun's statement, after the old lady died, the brothers split up, the whole family lived in the enclosure, and the Erkui family lived in the enclosure, the two families were awkward, and basically there was no contact, even ordinary neighbors.
