Chapter 73: Parting
Time has passed in a flash, and now Lin Aijun's body has completely recovered as before.
Moreover, every time Du Juan helped Lin Aijun massage, she would carefully help him soothe his muscles and pulses.
Therefore, now Lin Aijun just feels that his body is extremely relaxed, and when he returns to the army, he will really appreciate the effect of Du Juan's massage for him.
"Let me go with you, shall you?" Du Juan walked around Lin Aijun, wanting to follow him to the house of his comrades-in-arms in a neighboring county.
Lin Aijun has a comrade-in-arms from a neighboring county, which is close to the sea, but has little land. Therefore, this time, Lin Aijun not only wanted to see his old comrades-in-arms who he hadn't seen for many years, but also wanted to exchange the rice, oil and cloth from his own side for some seafood, especially dry goods, which could be taken to the north when the time came.
Lin Aijun was also afraid that Du Juan would not be able to adapt to the food there at first when she first arrived in the north. Well, maybe one or two hometown dishes per meal will make her feel better.
"Don't you have a lot of things on your hands to deal with, and you have time to come with me?" Lin Aijun said with a smile, "Besides, I should stay with my comrade-in-arms for two nights this time, his house is not as comfortable as ours, are you sure you can get used to it when the time comes?" ”
In Lin Aijun's eyes, whether it is the original Juanjuan or the woman in front of him, she is pampered and raised at first glance.
Needless to say, Juanjuan, a sentence that my father often hung in his mouth at the beginning was that boys have to be free-range, and girls have to be pampered. What's more, no matter what time the conditions of the Du family were, they were not as bad as outsiders see.
Besides, this woman, judging from her usual behavior, does not look like she has endured hardship, but feels that she has seen the world.
"Okay, okay, if you don't let you follow, you won't let you follow, why bother so much." Du Juan waved her hand weakly, she knew that she still had a lot of things to deal with.
For example, Du Shirong brought her some dyed fabrics, and she had to adjust the pigments that fit the current wearability and re-dye them. That work can't be done in a day or two, so ...... Never mind. I'll always have a chance to act with him next time.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Du Juan just doesn't want to be separated from Lin Aijun. Glaring at the other party, Du Juan muttered depressedly, "Whoever likes the other party first will be unlucky first." This sentence is indeed true. ”
"What are you talking about?"
"I didn't say anything." Du Juan directly gave the other party the back of his head, feeling a little out of sight.
Lin Aijun smiled helplessly and touched the other party's head, "Why do you still have a child's temper?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Aijun was suddenly frightened, when did he talk to the other party in such a doting tone? When did he not speak to her with an angry eyebrow? This is not a good sign. He's got to pay attention.
Fortunately, he had to leave in a while, and he could spend two or three days thinking about how he would get along with her in the future.
Lin Aijun has been gone for a day and a night, and Du Juan can't feel good about doing anything this day and night.
Her action made the rest of the Du family laugh sullenly, and they all felt in their hearts that the relationship between them was getting better and better.
Du Juan was depressed in her heart, she felt that she had been poisoned by a person named Lin Aijun, otherwise why would she think of him in everything?
For example, when you pack up your clothes, you find that the other party doesn't have a lot to change and wash. She thought about what style and material to make for others.
For example, if she suddenly thinks of a dish, she immediately thinks about whether the dish will meet the other person's taste.
The list goes on and on. The annoying Du Juan's temper these days is really not good, but the rest of the Du family still thinks that she is in a bad mood, and that is because Lin Aijun is not at home, which makes her find someone to talk to vent the depression in her heart.
Du Juan was sulking at home, but Lin Aijun didn't know that he was in a good mood in the neighboring county and went to sea with his comrades.
"The woods. This time, thanks to the rice you brought, otherwise ......" Yu Haishan's eyes were a little red, after he was injured and discharged from the army, he barely supported his family with some subsidies.
A few days ago. The old lady in the family fell and injured her leg, and the money that the family had saved with great difficulty was all seen and not said, and all the food and use that the family had carefully cut out were secretly exchanged for money, so that she could cure her own mother and not leave sequelae on her legs.
Seeing that the pot can't be opened at home. Several children's eyes are almost hungry green, the old lady and daughter-in-law behind his back don't know how many tears they wiped, and even the old lady planned to end her life secretly several times, if it weren't for the daughter-in-law's filial piety, always waiting in front of the bed, it is estimated that she really had to accept it.
Therefore, Yu Haishan was grateful for Lin Aijun's timely arrival, and the old lady treated him as a great benefactor of the Yu family.
"I'm really going to have to talk about you about this." Lin Aijun sat on the bow of the boat and said with a stern face, "What did I say to you before, if you have any difficulties, remember to write to me." Although I don't have any great skills, no matter how I say it, it's okay to get you some rice and oil, but you're good, I'd rather make your family hungry, but you won't squeak. If I hadn't come over this time, what would you have done? Watching a family starve to death? ”
This taro is still as stubborn as before, he likes to stuff everything in his stomach, and he carries it alone.
"I ......" Yu Haishan suddenly covered his face and cried bitterly, he hated himself for not being capable, hated himself for dying to save face, and wanted to stab himself twice, but he knew that he couldn't have an accident, the family depended on him to feed, if something happened to him, then the family would be gone.
"Alas!" Lin Aijun looked at his old comrades-in-arms who were crying bitterly, and his heart was also uncomfortable.
The situation of the taro family was really not to the point where they needed to ask for help. Taro is a capable, clever and courageous man. If he hadn't had to be discharged from the army due to a leg injury, his development in the army would not have been bad.
Even if the leg injury affected his movements, Taro insisted on going to sea every day, and did not let go of anything that could be eaten in his eyes, but the current policy is too tight, and some good things can only be kept for himself to eat, and they can't be sold at all, otherwise his family's situation would be so bad.
Seeing that the other party had been crying for a while, Lin Aijun opened his mouth to persuade, "Okay, it's all over, don't feel bad anymore, remember to secretly take anything to my house in the future, my eldest brother has a place to help you sell those seafood." ”
"Wouldn't that be too troublesome, and wouldn't it bring danger to your eldest brother?" Yu Haishan wiped away his tears, and crying like this made him feel a lot more relaxed.
"You don't have to worry about that. The eldest brother in my family is very capable. He has a very strong relationship with the manager of the state-run hotel in our county, and he helps you sell some seafood, which is a small matter. Lin Aijun comforted, "I'll squeak you again." The eldest brother of my family knows a member of the county revolutionary committee and often eats together, so you can rest assured. ”
"I've heard you say before that your eldest brother is capable. Unexpectedly, his ability is getting bigger and bigger now. Those people in the Revolutionary Committee are like snakes and scorpions, and your eldest brother is good, and he has dinner with others. Yu Haishan shook his head, feeling that since he was injured and discharged from the army, his courage seemed to have been injured, and he was a little shy from doing anything. This time, there was really no way, so he secretly avoided people and sold some seafood stored at home.
"When are you going back to the army?" Yu Haishan stared at the sea. I was very envious of Lin Aijun, who was so injured that he could continue to stay in the army.
"Five days to go." Lin Aijun sighed, looking at the turbid waters on the surface of the sea, he heard the envy in Yu Haishan's words, "Maybe you can fight with your comrades in the future." ”
Yu Haishan glanced at the other party, if these words hadn't come out of Lin Aijun's mouth, he would have thought that the other party was joking with himself.
"Don't believe it, there will be that opportunity." Lin Aijun said very firmly, of course he has this confidence. He is from the Hereafter.
When Lin Aijun came, he carried a basket and a sack, and when he went, he didn't take it less. Yu Haishan not only swept away the seafood that had been recollected at home, but also exchanged a lot of them from familiar neighbors.
If it weren't for Lin Aijun's later dissuasion, he said that he couldn't take so many things alone. Yu Haishan was afraid that he would have to pack two more sacks of things for him to take away.
"It's the afternoon of the third day, why haven't I seen anyone come back yet, it can't be a person who sneaked to the army to leave her behind, right?" Du Juan hid in the cubicle alone to dispense medicine, and she wanted to prepare some medicine bags that the Du family could use, such as those for treating colds, stopping diarrhea, and cooling off, all of which were relatively mild prescriptions.
There are also pills used to lure fish. It's a bit more compatible.
"It's not a good woman's work to say bad things about people behind her back." Lin Aijun clasped his arms and leaned against the door frame and said.
"Hey, you're back." Du Juan turned around and said in surprise when she heard the voice, "When did you come back, why didn't you call me?" ”
"Humph!" Lin Aijun only snorted coldly when he saw her change the topic, "I just got home, and my things haven't been sorted out yet." ”
As soon as he got home, he didn't see her, and he felt uncomfortable, thinking that people didn't take him seriously at all. didn't expect her to hide in the cubicle, muttering "bad things" about him, which made him helpless and funny.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right away." Du Juan sped up the movements in her hand.
"Don't worry, you take your time, I've picked out those fresh ones and put them away, and the rest are some dry goods, you just need to pack them." Lin Aijun was still leaning against the door frame, and with a smile in his eyes, he watched Du Juan jumping up and down to take the medicinal materials in the medicine drawer, this woman has always been so energetic.
"Why do you bring so much?"
Du Juan took out the seafood from the sack in the same way, what seaweed, moss, grilled with shredded fish, roasted dragon's head, shrimp skin, sea meander, dried shrimp, squid, etc., are all big bags of rolls that are either rolled in waste newspapers or packed in cardboard boxes.
"This is still after I tried my best to dissuade it, otherwise according to the taro's meaning, I would have to put two more sacks."
"These are all good things, he didn't think about selling them?"
In Du Juan's eyes, these are all money. She heard Lin Aijun say that the conditions of his comrade-in-arms were not very good, but if he sold these seafoods, would he still be able to live a bad life?
"He's not as bold as you." Lin Aijun glared at the other party, he was really frightened when he knew that his family was secretly selling fish. If the eldest brother hadn't come over to guarantee him, he would have prevented the family from continuing to trade.
"Starve the cowardly, support the bold, you don't even understand this." Du Juan said disapprerovitically.
"You're going to do all of that, right?" Lin Aijun didn't want to continue the topic with her anymore, he was afraid that he would be angry with the other party again.
"Meaning, I'll show you a hand at night."
She was a native of Jiangnan in her previous life and has a different kind of affection for Jiangnan. After escaping from the sect, she first chose to go to Jiangnan, Jiangnan not only has her younger brother there, but there are also many people, which is convenient for her to hide.
After a few days of busy preparations, Lin Aijun and Du Juan are finally about to set off.
Early that morning, Du's house was full of relatives and friends who came to see him off.
Sang Chunhua sat alone on the side, wiping her tears vigorously. The niece grew up with her milk and stayed by her side almost all the time, and in her heart, Xiaojuan was her other daughter.
Now that her daughter is going to go out with her son-in-law, and the number of times she will come back in the future can be imagined, this will make her heart twitch uncomfortable, as if she had dug her up.
"Auntie, don't be sad, I'm just going to join the army, and I can come back to see you at any time." Du Juan squatted in front of Sang Chunhua, held her hand, and comforted her softly.
"I know this, but I still feel uncomfortable." Sang Chunhua sobbed, her heart was uncomfortable, but even so, she still told uneasily, "Whether you are doing or talking outside, you must be careful, don't offend anyone lightly, don't be bullied casually, and don't add trouble to the patriotic army."
Auntie doesn't ask you to have much money, she just asks you both to be good outside. Also, always remember to write letters to your family, and don't give me only good news and not bad news. Although your aunt has little education and doesn't have much ability, her shoulders are still strong, and she can still let you lean on when you are tired......"
"Auntie......" Du Juan was buried in Sang Chunhua's arms and cried, and Lin Aijun also came over, silently hugging the two and crying silently.
The people standing in the hall either cried together on the spot when they saw such a parting scene, or turned their backs and secretly wiped away the tears that accidentally overflowed the corners of their eyes.
"Okay, okay, the children will leave in a while, don't always cry and cry, let the children go and don't feel at ease, hurry up and let the children eat sugar water and eggs." Du Dewang secretly wiped away his tears, and instructed with a forced smile, "The eldest daughter-in-law will serve sugar water eggs, the second daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law, you go and fetch some hot water, let everyone wipe it, and let's send the children away cleanly and happily." ”
"Yes."
"Okay."
Before leaving, Du Juan pulled Miao Dongqing to the side and said softly, "Uncle, I'm leaving, I can't be filial to you in person in the future, you have to take care of yourself." (To be continued.) )
