Chapter 82: Hope for the Return of the Son
Lin Jinwen outside looked at the children who were unrestrained and venting their emotions to their heart's content, and his eyes showed infinite emotion.
If Yuhan is also by his side at this moment, I don't know how perfect it would be! Lin Jinwen sighed in his heart.
The closer she gets to the Spring Festival, the more she thinks about Lin Yuhan, this year's Spring Festival is the first time that Yuhan has not been at home since he was born, and I don't know if he is used to it.
"Aunt Lin--" I don't know when, Fang Weinan actually stood behind her.
"Vinan, why did you get out?" Lin Jinwen asked.
"I can't stand it anymore, so come out and breathe!" Fang Weinan refers to his sister's exaggerated side when watching TV series.
"Oh, it's a girl's patent, every girl dreams about it." Lin Jinwen smiled.
"I saw you sighing just now, do you have anything on your mind?" Fang Weinan asked.
"Aunt Lin just saw that you young people were having fun together, so she felt very envious."
"The other day you mentioned that the deceased Uncle Lin was a fashion designer, so I thought you must have been a pretty good woman when you were younger."
"Your Uncle Lin is indeed a very talented person, but his talent was buried in that era, so when we were your age, we were worried about the livelihood of three meals a day, but we were not as unrestrained as you." Lin Jinwen paused in his hand, and then returned to normal with a smile on his face.
"Then Aunt Lin, can you tell our juniors the story of your youth?" Fang Weinan was a little curious about the story of this aunt when she was young.
"My story is very boring, and there is nothing to tell." Lin Jinwen shirked.
"Everyone has their own memories, just like my dad, who has almost been immersed in memories for the past two years, and in the face of memories, he has remorse and pain, but he still likes memories."
"Alas! When people reach a certain age, it is often easy to fall into memories, but everyone's experience when they are young is different, so there will be all kinds of memories, whether this memory makes you happy or heartache, when you look back on it many years later, it is unforgettable. β
"Aunt Lin, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to let you mention the past, but I was shocked when I first met you, because you are very much like a relative of mine, so I asked these rude words, and I hope you don't get angry. Fang Weinan explained.
"That's really a coincidence, in fact, Aunt Lin just thinks that the past is good, just let him go over, and mentioning it will inevitably destroy the liver, since your father is so painful when he recalls, but he still has to be immersed in memories from time to time, he must have an unfinished knot, right?" Lin Jinwen saw that Fang Weinan was so sincere, so he helped analyze.
"My dad has actually been missing a relative, this relative was separated from us many years ago, my dad was young and vigorous and didn't go to her, but as he grew older, my dad missed her more and more, and then he sent someone to look for her for a long time, and recently I heard that it had been found, but I don't know why my dad has not dared to go to recognize her."
"It should be a happy thing for everyone to find their relatives, and your father must have a reason for doing so."
"You're right, the important thing is that in our family, everyone is very taboo to mention this matter, and my parents never mention it in front of our siblings, and I also accidentally heard them mention it in the last few days." Fang Weinan continued.
"Then the relative you are talking about must be very close to your father?" Lin Jinwen asked strangely.
"Indeed, in this world, apart from us, they are the closest people." Fang Weinan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed.
"You see that I was curious for a moment, and I am really embarrassed to ask you such a strange question." Lin Jinwen saw that Fang Weinan was hesitating and hurriedly apologized.
She felt that this Fang Weinan was a little strange today, but she couldn't say what was wrong, she always felt that he seemed to be testing herself, but she had some scruples.
"But I'd love to tell you." Fang Weinan said suddenly.
The development of things seemed to be out of Fang Weinan's control, and at this moment, his heart also became up and down, perhaps at this moment he realized his father's hesitation at that time. After deep thought, I have made a major decision in my heart, and when it is time to face some things, I can't escape it.
"This person is his own sister, my aunt, her name is Fang Jingwen!"
"Fang, Jingwen, who are you --,?" With a terrible scream, Lin Jinwen's body suddenly trembled, and then gradually fell down.
"Aunt Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"Aunt Linβ"
β¦β¦
Pigeon Cave Village, Northwest China
"Third aunt, this is the fabric you want, I'll give it to you first! I heard that Liang Shifu will be very busy these days, you have to keep an eye on it, otherwise your girl will have no new clothes for the New Year. Lin Yuhan jumped off the tractor and said to a sister-in-law who was passing by the tractor.
"Teacher Lin, are you going into the city alone today? Didn't your third uncle go with him? The third aunt took the fabric and asked.
"Third aunt, the third uncle temporarily decided to repair the disrepaired wall of the village primary school with the village chief today, so let me go to the town alone, you see how comfortable this material is! I ran a few streets around town to buy it, and the price is quite affordable, so it must be very beautiful to make clothes for your girl. β
"It's really comfortable, is this the most popular fabric right now? I'll take it to Liang Shifu in the village later, so that the girl will have new clothes to wear in time for the New Year. The third aunt stroked the fabric and said lovingly.
"The third aunt has to go earlier, by the way, the third aunt, this is looking for your money, and, this hairpin! It's a gift I bought for your girl, and now the little girls in the city are excited to bring this, and she will definitely like it when she sees it. Lin Yuhan handed the rest of the money from buying things for the third sister-in-law and a delicately made plastic hairpin to the third aunt.
"Teacher Lin, this is unacceptable, in addition to teaching the children every day, you also have to go to the town every once in a while to bring some things back to the village, which is already very hard, why am I embarrassed to let you break the bank again? I'll take the rest of the money from this purchase, but I can't take this hairpin anyway. The third aunt accepted the change alone, but pushed the hairpin with Lin Yuhan.
"Third aunt, you see I bought it back, if you don't accept it, it's useless for me to keep it, I originally thought that she won the top three in this unit test, and it should be regarded as a prize I awarded her!" Lin Yuhan sincerely persuaded the third aunt.
"You have a point, so be it! I'll thank you for our girl, Mr. Lin, I'm in a hurry to pick vegetables in the vegetable patch now! His dad said that the girl not only took the top three exams this time, but I was also a boy in the top two, so in order to show our gratitude to you, I want to invite you to have dinner at home tonight! When the third aunt mentioned this, her face seemed to be smiling.
"Third aunt, you're welcome, I'll just eat at the village chief's house at night, I'm already used to the taste of the eldest lady." Lin Yuhan said with a smile.
"Oh well! Then when my family has a reunion dinner in a few days, I will send his father to invite you over for a reunion dinner, and Mr. Lin will not be able to push it back then. The third aunt is also a cheerful one, and hurriedly said again.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to the reunion dinner, anyway, I don't have a place to go for the New Year, so I just think it's a visit to the family, third aunt, you hurry up and get busy! I'll have to go back to school to see if there's anything else I need help with. After Lin Yuhan finished speaking, he jumped on the tractor again, and the ancient tractor jolted away again with a roar.
Since Lin Yuhan came to Pigeon Cave Village, he seems to have a strong interest in everything here.
In addition to attending classes at school, he often accompanied the old village chief to the homes of students who had suspended classes to help persuade them to re-enroll.
After the final test, the total score of the senior class of the pigeon cave village primary school was among the best in the whole Yuquan Town, and this kind of glory has not been seen for many years for the pigeon cave village, so many children who have not returned to school said that after the Spring Festival, they will also send the children back to school to continue studying, which undoubtedly makes the old village chief's frowning brows stretch a little.
Lin Yuhan also likes to accompany his third uncle or the old village chief for a weekly purchase in the town, not because he thinks the town is lively, but because he is most interested in the only modern equipment in the village,-- the old-fashioned handrail tractor.
It is said that the age of this walk-behind tractor is similar to that of the primary school in Pigeon Cave Village, and when the city sent people to Pigeon Cave Village to set up the teaching building of Pigeon Cave Village Primary School a few years ago, the province also approved a tractor for Pigeon Cave Village, and also sent personnel down to train drivers.
The adult men in the pigeon hole basically drive this thing, but for the sake of safety, the village chief stipulated that only one person was allowed to drive the tractor, so the whole village came to the election, and finally elected Liang Sanshu, who had the best driving skills in the village, to be elected.
Uncle Liang is Lin Yuhan's first day when he came to the pigeon hole, the burly man who drove a tractor with the village chief, although he did not smile, but he was a bloody man, before Lin Yuhan came to the pigeon hole, in the past few years, the village has been in the village, big and small, the old village chief and him are in Zhangluo.
After Lin Yuhan came, in addition to classes, most of his energy was spent on this tractor, in order to be able to control this ancient 'handlebar', he insisted on stalking the old village chief and Uncle Liang, under the helpless acquiescence of the two, within a few days, he could control it freely, so the old village chief and Uncle Liang could only open one eye and close one eye and let him toss blindly.
After all, it's just a child!
Whenever Lin Yuhan was childish, the old village chief would stand aside and let out such an exclamation, and then look at the only sheep intestine path leading to the outside world at the entrance of the village, as if waiting for the return of his relatives from afar......
