Chapter 22 The Sincerity of Hearts
Coming out of the courtyard of Wu Jiugong, Lin Jin didn't delay outside any longer, and went home directly. After entering the back house, she went straight to the east courtyard, and she heard the sound of Yang Lin's grandmother coaxing him to play from a distance.
"Brother Lin, look here, there are beautiful flowers here." Yang Lin's grandmother, Mama Yao, pulled the three-headed chubby Yang Lin to stand in front of the flower bed and explained, "These white and pointed flowers are hosta flowers. He pinched a flower and put it under Yang Lin's nose, "Smell it, isn't it white and fragrant?" ”
"Jade-hairpin-flower!" Yang Lin repeated, and nodded heavily, "Uh-huh" for a while, the red tassels on the top of her head trembled, and reached out to take the flower in the nurse's hand.
How could Mama Yao give it to him, seeing his outstretched hand, she hurriedly removed her hand.
Failed to get the fragrant flowers in her hands, Yang Lin opened a pair of big round eyes, looked left and right, and saw that the people around her were unmoved, and her mouth was deflated dissatisfied, and when she was about to open her voice and cry, her eyes were attracted by a bush of red roses blooming in the flower bed.
Even if the fragrance of hosta flowers is impressive, the white color is far less attractive than the bright red of the roses in the eyes of Yang Lin's baby. He stared intently for a long time, and stretched out his small fleshy hand to the largest and reddest rose among them.
After Mama Yao saw it, she intercepted it and reminded her: "Brother Lin, the roses have thorns and can't be touched." ”
It's a pity that Yang Lin has gained experience in fighting wits and courage with Mama Yao for a long time, so Mama Yao couldn't stop him. His hand was inevitably pricked, and the pain made him cry immediately, "Ahh......h
……
Hearing his cry, Lin Jin quickened his pace, took three steps and made two steps, and appeared at the gate of the East Courtyard in the blink of an eye, shouting to Yang Lin, who had been coaxed by Mama Yao: "Brother Lin-"
"Big brother!" Hearing Lin Jin's voice, Yang Lin broke free from the nurse's arms, snapped her fat short calves, and pounced on him.
If it weren't for the conversation between Mama Yao and him just now, she couldn't see the remains of the roses from the existing appearance, as well as the small hands stained with tears, snot, dirt and rose juice, looked at the clean and tidy clothes on her body, subconsciously took a few steps back, and shouted in her mouth: "Stop, Yang Lin, you stop for me, don't pounce on me!" ”
Yang Lin thought that Lin Jin, who was retreating, was playing a game with him, so she didn't listen to her words at all, giggled, ignored Lin Jin's dodge, and threw herself down in front of her, hugging her thighs tightly, and the two dirty little hands naturally grabbed Lin Jin's robe without question.
Seeing her soiled robe, Lin Jin shouted angrily: "Yang-Xiao-Lin! Lowering his head, he looked at Yang Lin, who was looking up at her, tapped his head, and said angrily: "Tell me, this is the first piece of clothing you stained for me?" Why don't you have a long memory? ”
Yang Lin grinned, hugged Lin Jin's calf and said coquettishly: "Brother is good, brother is good." ”
Lin Jin squatted down, let himself be at eye level with him, brought his two little dirty hands to his eyes, and said with a straight face: "Yang Xiaolin, don't pretend to be stupid for me, I think I can fool the past by shouting a few good brothers, you have to face up to your mistakes......"
"Brother, it hurts." Seeing Lin Jin's serious face, Yang Lin rolled his big eyes with a grunt, and pointed out to Lin Jin the place that had been pierced by the rose thorn just now.
Lin Jin was immediately diverted, and hurriedly brought his little meat hand to his eyes, and said, "Where is it?" Is there bleeding? Let me see. ”
Yang Lin's right hand looked up and down carefully, Lin Jin didn't find the place where the thorn was pierced, originally thought that he was taking it wrong, and after picking up Yang Lin's left hand and looking at it, he didn't see the wound, and finally, he was told by Mama Yao that it was Yang Lin's right index finger that was pierced, and there was no bleeding, just a slight prick.
was interrupted like this, and Lin Jin's original intention of teaching Yang Lin a lesson had already flown away from nine heavens. She picked him up, put him in her arms, and walked into the house, "Let's go, go into the house and eat." ”
Yang Lin stretched out her little lotus-like arm to wrap her arms around Lin Jin's neck, and smiled happily: "Let's eat." Turning around to Lin Jin's face was a "s......nort" mouthful, rubbing the left side of Lin Jin's face full of dust and saliva, and leaving a few neat tooth marks.
Feeling a slight pain on her face, Lin Jin looked at Yang Lin, who looked innocent, and smiled angrily.
The food had already begun to be served in the house, and after Lin Jin and Yang Lin entered the house, they washed their hands and faces, and sat down to eat. Yang Lin sat on the specially customized baby seat for him, looked left and right, and shouted: "Sister, big sister......"
Lin Jin has always felt that eating alone, no matter how delicious the food is, it is not fragrant, so after Jia Min passed away, he asked Daiyu to eat with them. Yang Lin was taught that he could only start the meal after he arrived, Lin Ruhai was busy with official business and rarely went home for lunch, so he didn't care, but he didn't see Daiyu and couldn't help but look for it.
Yang Wan tasted the temperature of the fish floss stem rice porridge that had been served out to dry a long time ago, and felt that it was just right, so she put the porridge bowl in front of Yang Lin, stuffed the spoon into his hand, and said, "Eat yours, your sister will not eat with us from now on." ”
Aunt Lin glanced at the usual meal and said with a smile: "I thought that after you sent Daiyu away, you would celebrate." ”
Hearing her grandmother's words, Lin Jin agreed in her heart, feeling that Yang Wan's performance today was not in line with her usual actions, which was a bit abnormal.
Yang Wan glanced at her mother and said angrily: "Look at what my mother said, it seems that I don't want to see her." ”
Aunt Lin said slowly: "You didn't want to see her, but you didn't like her either." Since I knew that the Jia family was going to pick her up, Hai Ge'er was reluctant, and you couldn't wait to send her away quickly.
Since Hai Ge'er let go, your joy can be seen as long as you have long eyes, so today, when people are gone, not only are you not celebrating, but you are not particularly happy, how can it not be strange? ”
After putting the chopsticks down, Yang Wan said with a calm face: "I want to like her, but the attitude of the Jia family and the old man, do I dare to like it?"
Since my wife passed away, whether it was the Jia family or the people left by my wife, they all thought that I would treat her badly, and even the master suspected me.
This is my home, and as a result, I was guarded against and lived like a thief. In this case, no matter how well-behaved and sensible Daiyu is, I can't like it. ”
sighed, "Originally, I was happy that she left, but then I thought that she was going to live in a strange place at a young age, living in a foreign country, and the Jia family may not be very good to her, so I couldn't be happy." After all, no matter what, she is the Lin family, and I grew up under my watch. Besides, even if she stays at home, it won't stop me, and even if I offer her as an ancestor, how long can I provide it? In a few years, she will be married. ”
Lin Jin knew that the Jia family didn't treat Daiyu well because she had the ability to "predict", but she didn't expect Yang Wan to think like this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mother, why do you think that the Jia family treats her sister badly?"
You must know that since his wife passed away, the Jia family has not worried about you and his father, for fear that his sister will be wronged, so he has been writing to his father to take his sister over to raise.
The words in the letter were sincere and the attitude was kind, and now that he finally got his wish, how could he treat his sister lightly? ”
Yang Wan glanced at her and sneered: "Brother Jin'er, in your eyes, am I stupid?" ”
Lin Jin hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and said secretly in his heart: Although you are not stupid, all kinds of emotions in your daily life are obvious, there are no twists and turns in your stomach, and there is no heart, so whether you think about things or do things, you go straight. In the eyes of people who are accustomed to twisting and acting crookedly, in the eyes of the women of the Lin family and the Jia family, who are in the back house, they are a little stupid. Therefore, sometimes, Lin Jin wondered, how did Aunt Lin teach Yang Wan?
Yang Wan sneered and said: "As the saying goes, 'It's good to be at home, but it's hard to go out', although Daiyu went to her grandmother's house, but the family was all surnamed 'Jia', not 'Lin', so where can it be compared to being comfortable at home."
Besides, don't look at the Jia family's repeated letters, saying that they don't worry about Daiyu and think about her, but whether this is really the case, in my opinion, may not be.
Not to mention anything else, since you are worried that Daiyu will be wronged, even if it is not pleased, then should you befriend me? ”
Aunt Lin smiled and said: "Wan'er, are you confused, you and his aunt and grandmother are robbing your husband, and the Jia family, as Jia Min's mother's family, is afraid that they will be extremely disgusted with you, and they can't wait to kill you, and they still want the Jia family to please or befriend you?" Next life. ”
"Mom, it's not that I'm confused, it's that you didn't react, now it's this time and that time." Yang Wan retorted: "Jia Min is dead, and the children left behind are living under my hands, no matter how much the Jia family dislikes me, isn't it normal to bow to me for the sake of Daiyu?"
But as for the Jia family, after his wife passed away, in the past few years, not only did he write a letter to say bad things about me, so that the lord guarded against me, but also the things he sent every year were still according to the old practice, and he still didn't take me seriously.
This kind of distressing method of saying that I feel sorry for Daiyu on the one hand, and offending people for Daiyu on the other hand, is the first time I have seen it. Therefore, with this attitude, it is really hard to say how sincere the Jia family, the grandfather, is to Daiyu. ”
Because he has always been on his own side and thinking about problems on the opposite side of Jia Min and the Jia family, Lin Jin really didn't realize that after Jia Min's death, if the Jia family really felt sorry for Daiyu, they should indeed change their attitude towards Yang Wan.
It is estimated that Lin Ruhai, like her and Aunt Lin, made the same mistake and did not realize that the situation had changed since Jia Min's death, otherwise, if he had noticed this, he might not have agreed to send Daiyu away.
