Chapter 187: The Old Thing Reappears
Since Lin Yuhan passed away, the first thing Lin Jinwen did when he got up almost every morning was to wipe down the room where he once lived.
She knows that the personalities of her two sons are very different, and Yu Hao loves cleanliness and always keeps the house spotless.
Yu Han is different, he always has the ability to make the room messy, jokingly calling it nature, absolute people and things coexist peacefully, and he is too lazy to take it for granted.
At this moment, she took a clean rag and carefully wiped every corner of the room, and she refused to let go of the desk that Yuhan had used, the bed she had slept on, and even every book.
Just wipe it like this day after day, the cover of the book has long since faded, and the paint on the desk has gradually faded.
Lin Jinwen looked at the colored book cover and the faded desk, had to change his position, and looked around the room blankly, his eyes fell on the closet.
There was only a thicker coat left in the closet, and this one was originally going to go with Yu Han, but she wanted to leave a thought for herself, so she kept this coat alone.
Lin Jinwen took the coat out of the closet, then closed his eyes and gently stroked his cheeks, there seemed to be Lin Yuhan's breath left on the coat, Lin Jinwen sniffed greedily, and tears instantly poured down.
"Yuhan, have you found your father? Your mother didn't protect you before you died, and over there, you must let your father take care of you. ”
"Mom, you see you're disobedient again, why did you come in again?" Lin Yuhao appeared beside Lin Jinwen at the right time, and then coaxed Lin Jinwen lightly.
"Yu Hao, I'll clean up the house for Yu Han." Lin Jinwen looked around and said to Lin Yuhao.
"You can also see that Yuhan's house is very clean, so you don't have to wipe it every day, let's go, I'll accompany you down for breakfast." Lin Yuhao quietly took Lin Yuhan's coat away, and then hung it back in the closet.
"Yu Hao, I wonder if Yu Han has found your father?" Lin Jinwen said again.
"He's got his dad to go, so you should be reassured."
"That's good, Yu Hao, can you help your mother open this drawer?" Lin Jinwen suddenly pointed to a locked secret drawer in the middle of the bottom of the closet.
Lin Yuhao followed Lin Jinwen's line of sight and looked down, the lock of the secret drawer was already a little rusty, and he thought it had not been opened for a long time.
"Okay, I'll go down to breakfast with you first, and when I'm done with breakfast, I'll find a tool to open it, okay?" Lin Yuhao coaxed Lin Jinwen again.
"Okay!" Lin Jinwen was willing to go downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, Lin Yuhao found tools to pry open the rusty lock.
It's just that when you open the drawer, you will see some small miscellaneous items, including headdresses, small rag dolls, hairpins, small bracelets, and so on.
Lin Yuhao was extremely shocked, because he had some impressions of everything in the dark drawer. Suddenly, the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, and he slowly stroked every small object, and the places where his hands touched were full of childhood memories.
Suddenly, his hand touched a homemade bookmark inlaid with a seemingly old, but still bright red red red bookmark in the middle, Lin Yuhao immediately picked up the bookmark, and saw two lines of strong and powerful words written vertically on the upper right side of one side.
This situation can be recalled,
It's just that it was already clear at the time.
Lin Yuhao caressed this red leaf bookmark, as if he remembered the drowning incident of the year.
On that early autumn afternoon, the little girl sat on the swing and cheered, the little boy was swinging hard behind him, and on a large rock not far from the swing, a sunny boy was looking intently at the book, and from time to time he looked over this way...
"Brother Yuhao!" Chu Ning's voice suddenly appeared behind Lin Yuhao, interrupting his thoughts, so he returned to reality from his memories more than ten years ago.
"You're here!" Lin Yuhao didn't seem surprised that Chu Ning would come over today.
"My parents said I was too bored, so they asked me to come over to accompany Aunt Lin." Chu Ning nodded.
"I know, come, come and sit down." Lin Yuhao nodded and motioned for Chu Ning to sit down beside him.
Chu Ning sat down as he said, and then looked at Lin Yuhao's line of sight.
"What is this?" Chu Ning looked at the things in the dark drawer, and then his face suddenly turned pale.
"It's all treasured by Yuhan during his lifetime." Lin Yuhao silently handed the red leaf bookmark to Chu Ning again, and then got up and left.
Chu Ning stared at the bookmark of the red leaves, tears streaming down his face.
During this time, more tears have been shed than in the past 20 years.
She stroked the bookmark, which was clearly the bookmark she treasured in the book "The Funeral of *", and she didn't know when it became Lin Yuhan's treasure.
Presumably when she first entered the 'Shen Garden' that year, she had already taken it for herself! After all, he had been reading that book all the time during the summer vacation that year.
Chu Ning's gaze fell on the pile of 'sundries' in the dark drawer again, and she trembled and stretched out her hand to caress every old thing she had ever spent with day and night.
There were some things that she had no memory of, but they were definitely things she had used or discarded, but all these things that she had long since used would lie here.
It turned out that even if she didn't want to discard, he would pick it up and treasure it as a treasure.
She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and continued to look inside, there were several bamboo flutes inside, which were all New Year's gifts she gave to Lin Yuhan every year, but she didn't expect him to keep them so well.
There were several crumpled paper balls on the flute, and Chu Ning casually picked up a paper ball and unfolded it, seeing that there was messy handwriting on it.
It was Lin Yuhan's handwriting, but the handwriting was sloppy, and she couldn't tell what was written, so she picked up another paper ball and unfolded it, the handwriting was still messy, but it was still eye-catching:
Brother:
I really feel sorry to see you getting drunk!
I suddenly hated myself, I don't know if you disguised yourself too well, or I was too stupid, after so many years, I didn't even find out that you also loved her, why? Why did this happen to our family, to our two brothers, what should I do, what should I do?????
This is followed by a series of question marks, and Chu Ning sets aside the unfolded paper ball, and then unfolds the next paper ball:
Brother:
Are you giving alms? You've disguised yourself so well in front of me, and I'm disappointed and embarrassed, should I hate you or should I respect you more...
The words of the second paper ball stopped abruptly here, and Chu Ning eagerly unfolded the third paper ball:
Brother:
Forgive me for not saying goodbye, because after three days of reflection and introspection, I resolutely decided to exile myself.
I hope that after I leave, you will no longer be patient, no longer painful and depressed. I wish you all the best, and I hope that when I come back again, you will already be in love......
At this moment, I am about to set off, but I finally experience the pain of parting, and I don't know where I will go. But I believe that no matter where I am, when I return to you again, I will no longer be the brother who always depends on you for everything.
Because I firmly believe that the wandering life will definitely shape a strong Lin Yuhanlai.
When he returns, I will take the burden off my brother's shoulders and take care of my mother and you in my place.
Brother Yu Han pen
The crumpled letterhead slipped in Chu Ning's hand, and she couldn't afford to continue looking at it, afraid of shedding more tears, so she got up and hid her face and left.
"Chu Ning--" Lin Yuhao shouted on his body, but the figure had already run away.
When Chu Ning dragged his heavy steps back home, it happened that Ye Mei had also returned home.
"Mom, you're back?" Chu Ning said to Ye Mei, who was busy in the kitchen.
"The store is too busy today, and my mother is a little tired, so I made some simple meals, and you will eat some!" Ye Mei stepped forward and pulled Chu Ning to the dining table and sat down.
"I'm sorry! Mom, I'm so useless, I can't help anything. Chu Ning said apologetically.
"Mom and Dad are very happy that you can cheer up." Ye Mei went to the kitchen to bring out the meals one by one, and then asked Chu Ning while adding rice, "By the way, how is your Aunt Lin's mental state today?" ”
"It's alright! She was having breakfast when I went. Chu Ning said vaguely: "Mom, I want to ask you a question, how did Yuhan get my phone back from you in the first place?" ”
"Alas! Even if you don't say it, Mom was going to tell you. It's just that Yuhan disappeared all of a sudden, and I thought that it didn't make any sense to tell you, but it would only make you sad, so I never said it. ”
"It's okay, no matter how sad you are, you can't be sad about his departure, just talk to me! It's like chatting. ”
"Alright then!" So Ye Mei recalled the day when Lin Yuhan suddenly returned to Y City and interceded for Lin Yuhao and Chu Ning.
"Mom, you said that Yuhan was so good to me, why didn't I fall in love with him?" After listening to Ye Mei's narration, Chu Ning lowered his head and said, as if he was asking Ye Mei, but he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Where can I make the feeling thing clear, just like your Aunt Lin back then, she didn't love Shen Yankang, who was so good, but fell in love with your poor Uncle Lin. Mom always felt that this person's fate, in the dark, everything seemed to be decided. Ye Mei said as she spoke, and also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"If I loved him, maybe all the tragedies wouldn't have happened, Mom, I suddenly hated myself, why didn't I love him?" Chu Ning asked the same question over and over again.
"Good daughter, stop thinking nonsense, come, eat a little!" Ye Mei kept helping Chu Ning with the dishes.
"Mom, I'm not hungry yet, you eat slowly." Chu Ning suddenly got up and ran towards the room.
"Chu Ning! How can you always skip food? Before Ye Mei finished speaking, she heard a 'bang' door closing on the second floor.
"Ye Mei, daughter, is this?" Chu Tianxing, who had just returned home, looked at the second floor puzzled and asked.
"You're back, look at your daughter, she had a little bit of food two days ago, and I don't know what happened to her today? Just asked me about Yu Han's life. Ye Mei sighed.
"Alas! Let her go! Chu Tianxing rubbed his forehead and sat down at the dining table, "There have been so many things during this time, and I am always restless." ”
