Chapter 293: Asking for help
Captain Cheng's matter was reported to the organization, and he was soon dismissed from public office and expelled from the party, and the parade he had carried out on Zheng Qiu was quickly transferred to him, and the villagers tied him and Zhang Xiaoyan together to parade to warn all those who cheated.
Cheng Zhiming still tried to hype up Yang Chengbo's life, but because it was found that he was cheating on Father Lin, no matter what he said about this so-called fact, it became a slander in front of outsiders, and Yang Chengbo was an obedient and excellent good boy, they all knew what his character was, and the only thing that he couldn't understand so far was marrying Xu Mei.
Yang Chengbo got the opportunity to go to college again, although it was a worker, peasant and soldier university, it was enough for him to have a sense of rebirth, he valued friendship, but also heavy responsibility, married Xu Mei and took Xu Mei with him to prevent her from staying in the village to stay alive and widowed, the day he left, the people in the village sent eighteen to each other, Lin Xi and Lin Nan, the two people who helped him the most, did not go, Yang Chengbo sighed, remembering Lin Xi's last proverb to him: "Two years later, I hope you can still have no regrets." ”
After a storm passed, Lin Xi's favorite thing was to sleep on the locust tree under the courtyard, and Lin Nan was sitting next to her and was reading, the wind took the dandelion seeds and fell on Lin Xi's face, Lin Xi blinked his eyelashes uncomfortably, but did not open his eyes. Lin Nan saw that he was cautiously approaching Lin Xi, and lightly twisted the dandelion seeds, but Lin Mu suddenly shouted from inside the house: "Where did the wax lard on this beam go?" ”
Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Lin Nanqingjun's face occupying her entire field of vision, and his eyes like butterfly wings blinked, showing a little panic in his heart.
He was silent for a while and said to Lin Xi: "You have dirty things on your face, I'll help you remove them." ”
As he spoke, he spread out the dandelion seed in his palm and gently blew it into the distance.
Mother Lin ran out of the kitchen, looked at the two people in the courtyard and said, "Which of you saw the wax lard I hung on the beams?" ”
Lin Xi and Lin Nan shook their heads at the same time, and only after seeing Lin Mu walking away did they put their eyes on Jin Zhong, who was rolling on the side, Jin Zhong keenly noticed that there were two unkind eyes, and immediately turned over his belly and looked around vigilantly, but when he saw that it was Lin Xi and the others, he began to blink his eyes and pretend to be pitiful.
"Why, as a fox, I don't want to be a dog, I want to be an oil stealing rat?"
Jin Zhong shook his little head and ran clumsily under Lin Xi's legs with his hands and feet and began to be coquettish, it was so hungry that it didn't care if it ate anything without oil and water.
The wax lard is used by Lin Mu to cook vegetables to enhance the flavor, but Jin Zhong doesn't treat himself as an outsider, so he can enjoy it at one meal.
Lin Xi took its two paws, let it stand straight in front of him, and looked at its belly mockingly: "You have to eat a little more, be careful of which wild dog others think you have an innocent relationship with." ”
Jin Zhong was stunned for a while before he realized that Lin Xi was laughing at its big belly, and it fell under Lin Xi's leg and touched its belly, thinking that it still had room to rise, and it could still eat a little more.
"Lin Xi, Lin Xi, I'll take you to me to see my aunt."
Zhao Xiaoyue ran from the hall, grabbed Lin Xi on the rocking chair and ran to the living room, Lin Xi was brought into the hall by her, and saw Ye Miaosheng, an old acquaintance who had not seen him for a long time, wearing a white cloth shirt, his hair was cut very short, and he was dressed as a good student, without the sense of domineering before.
Ye Miaosheng listened to the movement behind him, turned around and smiled at Lin Xi, and Lin Xi saw that there were two strangers standing in front of him, a man in a black robe and a woman in the style of a dark plain cotton cheongsam.
The woman wore a wooden hairpin on top of her long black hair, and there was no decoration on her body, but this appearance of washing away the lead did not extinguish the grandeur of her body, but like a white peony that can still survive in the autumn wind.
Zhao Xiaoyue explained to Lin Xi: "This is my aunt Ye Qi, this is an architect Zhou Jiechuan. ”
Ye Qi looks like he is only in his forties, with an outstanding demeanor, and he is definitely not the age of being an aunt and grandmother, but Lin Xi thinks that Ye Miaosheng and Zhao Xiaoyue are the same age as Zhao Xiaoyue, so it is not so strange.
Ye Qi smiled at Lin Xi, glanced at Lin Xi and Lin Nan up and down, and said to Lin's mother: "The two children you gave birth to are really beautiful. ”
Lin Mule smiled happily, and did not explain to Ye Qi that Lin Nan was succeeded to the Lin family, after all, they had only had a neighborly friendship with Zhao Xiaoyue's family for a few years before, but they were not familiar with the Ye family.
Ye Qi took Zhao Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Xiaoyue has been disturbing your house for a long time, and I came this time just to take her back." ”
Zhao Xiaoyue was stunned, and heard Ye Qi say: "I don't know if Lin Xi is willing to go to Suzhou to play, I really want to take this child over and entertain him well." ”
Mother Lin thought that Lin Xi was still young, and she was not very relieved to be alone outside, but she decided to ask Lin Xi to do it, she looked at Lin Xi and asked her opinion, Ye Miaosheng whispered in the back: "My aunt came this time to ask for something." ”
Lin Xi smiled: "Suzhou is too far away, I haven't gotten used to going far yet." ”
Ye Qi glanced at Ye Miaosheng, and Zhao Xiaoyue seemed to have found an excuse and immediately said: "If Lin Xi doesn't leave, I won't leave, I'm bored if I go back alone, and Lin Xi will play with me here." ”
Ye Qi looked at Zhao Xiaoyue with a gentle smile: "Haven't you had enough fun?" ”
Although she smiled softly and gently, Zhao Xiaoyue suddenly felt a chill, and she didn't dare to make a sound, Ye Miaosheng said in a round field: "It's better to give them a little time to think about it." ”
"Yes, yes, let the children think about it, to be honest, Xiaoyue will be more alive at home for a few months after staying here."
Mother Lin accompanied Ye Qi to greet them for a while, saying that she was going to cook to entertain them, so that they could rest first.
There were a few people left in the room who knew it well, and Ye Miaosheng said bluntly: "Lin Xi, we really need your help this time, you see that Dakunshan is so remote, and my aunt came to pick you up in person, just hoping to get your help." ”
"No, no." Lin Xi refused, she didn't forget the matter of Old Man Zhao last time, and almost put Lin Nan in, this time she didn't have to count it to know that the affairs of the Zhao family must be very troublesome.
Ye Miaosheng was a little anxious, but Ye Qi said softly: "Lin Xi, I have heard Miaosheng say about your ability, outside this mountain village is the land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but didn't even Zhuge Liang plan to go out of the mountain in Longzhong?" Do you think that I didn't look at the thatched house and neglected you? ”
Ye Qi, a woman, speaks very well, her identity is not ordinary, but she can trek through mountains and rivers to find Lin Xi, in fact, it has already shown that her attitude is indeed thirsty for talent.
Lin Xi didn't answer her directly, and asked Zhou Jiechuan beside him: "You are studying architecture, and she takes you by your side, so this incident is related to the feng shui of the terrain residence." ”
Zhou Jiechuan pursed his lips, he originally had a little contempt for Lin Xi, but now he didn't dare to look at him rashly, he heard Lin Xi say: "If you study architecture, you also know how to learn about public opinion, why do you want to come to me?" ”
She looked at Ye Qi, and Ye Qi said with a smile: "Although Jiechuan understands Kanyu, he is not proficient in the end, we want to be more secure." ”
"So careful, is this time for a big man to look at the house?"
Ye Qi became interested, and craned his legs to look at Lin Xi: "What do you say?" ”
"Your five elements belong to the earth, and the name is also based on this, but you brought a wooden hairpin, although Mu Ketu is not common sense, but a little bit of feng shui numerology will know, but you don't care, proving that you are not interested in feng shui at all, then I want to see your house. I heard Zhao Xiaoyue mention you before, saying that you are a first-class art committee member of Chinese painting, and you can make you go all the way to put down your paintbrush and rush here, aren't you still a big man? ”
Ye Qi smiled and tucked the hair on his forehead behind his ears: "I heard Miao Sheng say before that you are very smart and powerful, and it is better to see you from afar." ”
Ye Qi stood up, her slender figure was half a head higher than Lin Xi, and said to Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, it would be much better for you to make a friend like me here than to lose a friend of mine." ”
Zhao Xiaoyue was afraid that Lin Xi would eat soft or hard, and said to Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, do you want to help me once and accompany me to Suzhou?" ”
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows: "You're going back to Suzhou again?" ”
Zhao Xiaoyue kicked her toes and said with depression: "What reason do I have not to go back." ”
Jin Zhong ran from outside the door at this time, Lin Xi whistled, Jin Zhong immediately jumped to Lin Xi's half-squatting palm stretched out, Lin Xi touched its head and said, "Do you want to go out to play?" ”
Jin Zhong nodded hurriedly, it was about to suffocate to death in this small village, Lin Xi smiled, and said to Ye Qi: "Then do you have its food?" ”
Ye Qi smiled and nodded.
In the evening, Lin Nan packed all the clothes for going to Suzhou, and was opening the door to breathe, when he heard Zhao Xiaoyue crying outside: "As long as you say something to let me stay, I won't leave." ”
She cried very sadly, her voice was choked, but in exchange for the other party's endless silence, the longer the silence lasted, the more it explained what his answer was, Zhao Xiaoyue wiped a handful of tears, and said cruelly: "Okay, you remember, once I go back, I will never come back." ”
Lin Nan stayed behind the door for a while, and didn't want to participate in this affair between men and women, waiting for Zhao Xiaoyue to cry and leave, he went out, but saw the man who hurt Zhao Xiaoyue going out step by step, and didn't find Lin Nan, Lin Nan was stunned, he didn't expect it to be him......
One day, Lin Nan carried a backpack to solve his and Lin Xi's things, but Zhao Xiaoyue took a heavy box and took away all the things she brought with the Lin family intact, as if she wanted to erase all traces of her in the Lin family.
Lin Xi didn't ask much when she saw her red and swollen eyes, but Ye Miaosheng went up and said more: "I have already let you seize the opportunity, but I still have to drag my aunt to arrest you back." ”
"If you want to take care of it, help me hold it." Zhao Xiaoyue threw the heavy box on Ye Miaosheng's body, almost letting him go on his back.
Lin Xi and Lin Nan said goodbye to Mother Lin and said the approximate date of going home, Mother Lin was still a little reluctant, after all, it was the first time for the child to go far away, although she knew that there would be no danger, but she couldn't let go of her heart.
Zhao Xiaoyue glanced behind her, none of the two brothers of the Lin family came to see her off, she said in a dissatisfied and somewhat aggrieved voice: "There is no conscience." ”
Seeing that Lin Xi and Lin Nan had already walked forward, she knew that she couldn't ask for anything more, she finally hugged Lin Mu, sincerely thanked her for taking care of her, turned around and walked forward, and secretly swore in her heart that she would never return to this place again. It's just that she finally turned around and glanced at it with hope, but the gate was still empty except for Lin Mu, and no pair of eyes stayed on her.
