Chapter 116: Lin Shaopeng
At noon, several people returned with a full load.
Du Juan dug some mud by the stream in the mountain and wrapped it in unknown leaves, which made the two boys very curious.
"Don't worry, you'll know the answer when you eat at noon, and I'm sure you'll have an aftertaste after eating." Du Juan's mysterious appearance made the two even more curious.
Helping Lu Xiaolin to return home, Du Juan first turned out a few ripe melons from her vegetable patch, cut a full pot and put them on the kang table in the hall.
"Mom, take it, this is a melon, I planted it myself, how about you taste it?" Du Juan put a crescent-shaped melon into Lu Xiaolin's hand, and motioned Kong Lingxu for them to eat the melon.
Lu Xiaolin lowered her head with a smile and took a bite, chewing very elegantly before she said, "Well, it's very sweet, it's full of moisture, it's delicious." ”
"Hehe, then you eat a few more pieces, I'll cook first." Du Juan said happily, "You guys take care of grandma." ”
"Got it, aunt."
After playing outside all morning, they were thirsty, and they would nibble on the sweet and delicious melon.
Turning out the lotus leaves harvested a few days ago, Du Juan wrapped the pheasant that had been cleaned up and stuffed with various fungi and condiments in her belly, tied it tightly with a cotton rope, and then smeared a layer of wet mud on the outside and threw it into the stove hole.
She simmered two, there are many people in the family, although the pheasant is fat, but it is small, she is afraid that two pheasants are not enough to eat.
I burned a wild mushroom soup in a clay pot, not to mention the delicious taste.
After frying a pot of dried fish and two pots of vegetables grown in her own vegetable field, Du Juan planned to start eating.
"Hmm~~ Auntie, this chicken is so delicious, I've never eaten such delicious chicken." Kong Lingqian was holding a chicken leg in his hand while he was gulping down the rice in the rice.
Two chickens, four legs, just one for each of them except Du Juan.
Du Juan removed the meat from the chicken thighs and put it in a small bowl, and then fed it to Lu Xiaolin little by little.
"The taste is really good, fresh and tender, with a faint mushroom aroma." Lu Xiaolin swallowed the food in her mouth before she said with a satisfied face.
She didn't expect her daughter-in-law's skills and craftsmanship to be so good, and she listened to her two nephews. It's amazing that she can hit pheasants with just a slingshot.
After eating, the Kong brothers and sisters cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, while Du Juan stood behind Lu Xiaolin and massaged the acupuncture points around her eyes.
"Mom. How do you feel? Du Juan massaged gently and delicately, although she told Lin Aijun last night that it would take three months, but if the effect is good, it won't take long to get results.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaolin said with a smile. "Before, all the eyes saw was white, and although it would be possible to tell the difference between day and night, it was just like that. But I just looked at it, and it seems that I can faintly see a figure, very light gray, and a little hazy, I think it should be clearer in the near future. ”
"Grandma really?" Kong Lingxu ran over excitedly and asked, but he didn't expect the new aunt to really have two hits.
"Of course, your grandmother doesn't tell lies." Lu Xiaolin followed the sound and groped and stretched out her hand. Kong Lingxu immediately reached out and held it.
"Although I have imagined the appearance of a few of you countless times in my heart, I still hope to see it with my own eyes, even if it is just a glance."
"Don't worry, Mom, after your eyes are healed, as long as you don't cry for a long time, there will be nothing at all." Du Juan assured that her treatment would be a one-time effect, wouldn't that smash her sign.
"The Patriotic Army has been found, what else do I have to cry about." Lu Xiaolin patted Du Juan's hand and promised, "Let me Lu Xiaolin be the one who is willing to cry." Who else but a few of you? Are you going to make me cry in the future? ”
A few people in the room immediately assured that this would not happen, and even if there were, they would have to hide it to the death.
In the afternoon, Du Juan asked Kong Linghan to accompany Lu Xiaolin to take a nap, but the Kong Lingxu brothers did not have the habit of taking a nap. So he sat in the hall with a small stool and accompanied Du Juan to clean up the wild grapes.
In a forest farm about half a day's journey from here, Lin Aifen rode a bicycle to the ground sweating profusely at this time.
"Comrade, I'm looking for Lin Shaopeng, please take the trouble to register." While Lin Aifen was talking, she secretly stuffed a pack of cigarettes.
The other party's originally dark face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and he took out a notebook casually. Let Lin Aifen register on it, and then wave her hand to let her in by herself.
Lin Aifen is used to this way, and she has no second job, she just found a place to lock the bicycle, picked up the package on the bike and started to walk inside.
It's a forest farm, and there are a lot of people like her dad in it.
Familiar with the way to find Lin Shaopeng's place, it happened to be lunch at this time, Lin Shaopeng and several difficult brothers and sisters living in the same house happened to be there.
"Dad, Uncle Hao, Uncle Liang, Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, Uncle Wen." Lin Aifen called the few uncles who squatted under the eaves to avoid the shade of the mountains, that is, those of them who had seen the wind and waves, had heads and faces, so that they could live freely wherever they went.
"Yo, Xiaofen, you can't see Uncle Li, why don't you run to your father at two ends in three days, don't you make Uncle Li red?" Li Aimin teased with a smile.
"Yes, Xiaofen, those rabbit cubs in my family have said that they have come to see you Hao Bo, and they don't even have a letter, don't you let Hao Bo sleep well at night?" Hao Chunmin is not idle, and follows in the fun.
"Go and go, all of them will go, envy Lao Tzu for having a good girl, you just say it, you use such a yin and yang weirdness." Lin Shaopeng waved his hand like a fly, turned his head and smiled at his daughter, "Aifen, what good things did you bring to your father again?" ”
There is nothing in the forest farm, a pot of pig food every day, and their mouths are about to lose their sense of taste when they eat it.
"Now, this is luncheon meat, and the uncles will share the tooth sacrifice." Lin Aifen didn't mind their ridicule at all, she didn't want to be said by them every time, she was used to it.
"It's still our daughter who knows that she feels sorry for people, unlike some people, who know all the good things to hide and eat for themselves." Wen Bochen flashed into the house, and after a while, he took out a pair of pliers, and three or two opened a can of luncheon meat, grabbed it directly and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hey, leave me some!"
"What to rob, don't be embarrassed in front of our daughter."
Lin Aifen looked at the uncles in front of her with some sadness, who used to be able to make the people below tremble with a stomp of their feet, and now they are arguing noisily over a can of luncheon meat.
"Aifen, don't pay attention to those bastards, is there something you came here for today?" Lin Shaopeng took his daughter to the side and walked a few steps, he felt that the time when his daughter came over this time was too close to the last time. Unless there is something important, "Is your mother unwell, or is there something going on at home?" ”
"Mom and the family are fine." Lin Aifen looked at her father's anxious appearance and hurriedly replied. "I came here this time because I have great news to tell you."
"Great news?" Lin Guangpeng looked up at the white clouds in the sky and said, "Could it be that there is an order from above, and all of us can go back?" Hehe...... Is this possible? ”
It's not that he doesn't believe in the party or the chairman, it's that he has a feeling that the movement won't end so soon. He's going to have to stay here for a long time. He is not afraid of hardship, he is worried about Xiaolin, worried that she will not wait for him to regain his free body.
"Dad, you're suffering!" Lin Aifen's eyes were red and her nose was sour, her father was such a beautiful person, and he became a bad old man with hair and beard within two years of coming here.
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter, I'm not bitter at all, your father has lived more bitter and difficult days than this, it's really nothing, at least now I can sleep soundly every night." Lin Shaopeng wiped the tears from his daughter's face with his rough fingers. "It's such a big person, why don't you cry at every turn, you don't feel ashamed. Tell me something, I'll have to go to work in a while. ”
Suddenly, Lin Aifen sniffed and hurried to say, "Dad, we have found our younger brother Aijun." ”
"What? Who did you say you found? ”
"What's wrong, Lao Lin, why are you yelling?"
The few people who were scrambling for luncheon meat suddenly lost their minds to eat meat, and they all ran over and asked with a concerned face.
Lin Shaopeng didn't bother to pay attention to those stinky guys, just grabbed his daughter's arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice. "Girl, repeat, who have you found?"
He must have misheard, he mobilized so many people. After looking for so many years, there is no news at all, they stay in one place, and they can find it casually? This must be to tease him, it must be!
"Dad, you heard me right. We found my brother Aijun, and just yesterday, my mother found it herself. Lin Aifen said very slowly, so she must let her father hear clearly.
"Really, really......" Lin Shaopeng, a man who had never shed a single tear in countless artillery fires, was crying like a child at this time.
"Lao Lin, this is a good thing, why are you crying." Liang Hanqing said so, but the quick action of wiping his tears still betrayed his mood at this time.
Which of them hasn't helped Lao Lin find a child, and which one doesn't know the bitterness in Lao Lin and Xiao Lin's hearts?
"Yes, Lao Lin, you should be happy for such a big happy event. After looking for so many years, this kid Aijun finally has news. Liu Jiang also said happily, "Girl, where did you find your brother, hurry up and make a long story short." ”
"yes, okay." Lin Aifen smiled very brightly with tears on her face, and replied in a crisp voice, "It's Mom, yesterday Ren said that my brother was nearby, and we couldn't twist her, so we had to accompany her to find it." It turned out that I really found it, my younger brother looked very much like my father, and when I was young, I didn't need to introduce him, as soon as we saw his face, we knew that we were looking for the right person this time. ”
"But for the sake of caution, we still carefully asked each other's names, ages, family conditions, etc., and these were all paired one by one, including the jade gourd pendants that our brothers and sisters wore around their necks as soon as they were born." Lin Aifen quickly explained, "Dad, my brother is in the army not far from here, and I will definitely take him to see you when I find an opportunity." Oh, and her younger siblings, her younger siblings are not only good looking, but she has also studied, and she has nothing to say to her younger brother. The main thing is that the younger siblings said that she could help her mother heal her eyes. ”
"Really, these are true!" Lin Shaopeng wiped his tears excitedly and said, "Our family is finally reunited, good, it's good!" ”
"Congratulations to you Lao Lin, this time I finally got the wish in my heart for many years." Hao Chunmin patted his old comrade-in-arms on the shoulder, really happy for him.
Just such a son, who has been lost for nearly twenty years, and their old fellows think that there is no hope anymore, and he is actually in another village.
Lin Shaopeng couldn't be more excited, his son had just lost the meeting, he had to send someone to find him, and on the other hand, he had to comfort Xiao Lin, who was crying bitterly, and at the same time, he had to adapt to the new job, he would be really exhausted.
But he couldn't help it, no one expected the loss of the child, although they later analyzed the reason for the loss, but Lin Shaopeng, who had no evidence and no evidence, couldn't say that this thing was done by the third girl who was only 8 years old at the time, but obviously Xiao Lin believed it, so for a long time to come, Xiao Lin not only looked at the three daughters unpleasantly, but also looked at him even more unpleasantly, no matter how he flattered it, it was useless.
It's going to be good, I found my son, Xiao Lin should be able to give him a smile, right?
Lin Aifen left the package in her hand, comforted her father again, and promised that the other party would find an opportunity to bring her younger brother to meet him in the future, and then rode a bicycle home.
On the other side, Du Juan and the Kong brothers had already processed the wild grapes picked in the morning, crushed them and sealed them into the jar, planning to put a certain proportion of sugar in them after a while, and then seal them into wooden barrels to let them ferment.
Lin Aijun came home with news that was a good thing for him.
"So, Ma Guodong is going to change places?" Du Juan was frying the dishes in the pot, she was not interested in that man, if it weren't for the other party affecting Lin Aijun's work in the team, she would know who the other party was.
"Well, it was brought up by Chief of Staff Sun." Lin Aijun washed his hands, sat next to his mother, peeled the apple in his hand, and replied casually, "Also, I heard that Ma Guodong is going to marry his daughter-in-law, and he is married to Sun Xiaomei, the third daughter of Chief of Staff Sun's family." ”
"It's right to marry Sun Xiaomei, otherwise he will be a brute." Du Juan spat and said, "Do you know where he is transferred, it is best to keep him away from the troops." ”
"The final result hasn't come down yet, and I only heard about it from the chief today." After Lin Aijun cut the apple in his hand into small grains, he took a small spoon and patiently fed it to his mother.
Several children of the Kong family watched with their eyes open, but they were all satisfied with Lin Aijun and Du Juan's expressions in their hearts.
"Xiaojuan, there is one more thing, you have to be prepared in your heart." Lin Aijun frowned, he actually didn't want Du Juan's ability to be known to most people.
"What's the matter, you can tell me." Du Juan didn't care, "I'm so well-behaved during this time, there shouldn't be anything embarrassing, right?" ”
"Poof......" A few people in the room laughed sullenly, and they all felt that the aggrieved voice of the daughter-in-law (aunt) was very funny. (To be continued.) )
