Chapter 4: Be a Hermit from Tomorrow Onwards
The sudden voice startled Xu Wanning, and the hand that was plastering Mother Lin subconsciously pressed hard, and just grabbed Mother Lin's old wound, and Mother Lin gasped in pain.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I scratched you. ”
Xu Wanning took her eyes off the man and hurriedly checked Lin Mu's injuries.
"Out of the way, out of the way!"
Mother Lin's cloudy eyes froze on Lin An, and a shallow tear appeared in her eyes, "An'er, you're finally back!"
Lin An returned home with a full of anger, so he didn't notice the harmonious atmosphere between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, and when he heard the words of the old mother at this time, he subconsciously thought that Xu Wanning had done evil again.
Just as Xu Wanning looked up, she happened to bump into a pair of eyes full of disgust.
She sighed heavily in her heart, put the unused plaster properly in a rusty iron box, and slowly got up, "There is still food on the stove, I'll go and heat it up, you can talk to your mother for a while." ”
With that, she left gracefully, leaving the space to the mother and son.
In the kitchen, Xu Wanning was recalling the plot in the book while lighting the fire.
Lin An's return home was not accidental, but someone wrote a letter to him, which vaguely showed that Xu Wanning had the idea of selling the child.
Fortunately, the military district is not far from Dajiang Village, and one day and one night are enough to rush back.
In the original book, Lin An didn't have time to save his children.
When reading the book, Xu Wanning did not pay attention to these details, but after integrating into this body, and then thinking about it carefully, she always felt that there was an unusual atmosphere everywhere.
And who is the person who reported the news, Xu Wanning already has a plan in her heart.
In the house, Mother Lin grabbed Lin An's rough hands, "An'er, didn't you say that you will not go home until the end of the year? Also, don't listen to the rumors of those mothers-in-law in the village about selling children, it's all fake." ”
Lin An pushed the tip of his tongue to the roof of his mouth, but he didn't say anything about receiving the letter.
Through the half-hidden door, Lin An had already seen two small figures lying on the table, and they were his children.
Could it be that he had misunderstood the meaning of the anonymous letter?
"I completed a task for the organization, and the leadership understood that I had not returned home for a long time and gave me a few days off. Lin An explained.
At this time, the two small balls that had completed the homework assigned by Xu Wanning ran in one after the other.
The younger sister threw herself directly into Lin An's arms, raised her head, and looked at her father who she hadn't seen for months with big watery eyes, her eyes full of admiration.
Da Chun took a step slower, and stood a few steps away from Lin An, looking enviously at his sister who was nestled in his father's arms, and his little mouth collapsed into a straight line.
Seeing this, Lin An beckoned to Da Chun, and when Da Chun approached, he picked him up and put him on his lap.
is obviously a child who is more than four years old, but it is terrifying.
Lin Anxin sighed from the bottom of his heart, forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction with Xu Wanning, and tried his best to soften his tone: "What were you doing in the house just now?"
"Write!"
My sister's voice was hearty: "Mom borrowed textbooks from Grandpa Tian and taught us to read and write every day." ”
Da Chun also nodded in agreement.
Lin An always felt that something was weird.
Before he could think deeply, Xu Wanning came in with a bowl with a gap.
"I don't know if you're coming back today, that's all there is to it at home, so let's eat. ”
In the dim light, Lin An saw that the bowl was full of noodles, and there were two poached eggs with a pleasant color lying on it, and green onions were used as decorations, even if it was just looking at it, it was appetizing.
"Thank you. ”
Polite and distant.
Xu Wanning didn't care either, and asked Da Chun's younger sister: "Have you completed the homework assigned today?"
My sister nodded hurriedly, "I'll show it to my mother for inspection." ”
When my sister came out with two brand-new books, Lin An had already held a poached egg and handed it to her mouth: "My sister is good, Dad can't finish eating these, you can help Dad eat a little." ”
Although she is only four years old, her smart sister knows that this is just a pretext from her father.
She covered her mouth and took a small step back, rubbed her bulging little belly with her hands, and smiled innocently: "Dad, I ate potato roast chicken today, and I can't eat eggs." ”
"Mom and Dad, every day, boiled eggs for my sister and my grandmother. ”
Listening to Da Chun's words, the strange feeling swept over again.
Lin An couldn't help but look at Xu Wanning, but saw that the other party's attention had been on the two small books.
Only then did he bow his head and eat noodles.
Even if it was delayed for a while, the noodles were not lumpy, and it was very strong in the mouth.
After taking the first bite, Lin An didn't care, and after eating a few more bites, he couldn't help but speed up his eating.
It's just ordinary Yangchun noodles, but the taste is so good that people can't get enough of it.
In the end, he didn't even drink a drop of the soup.
Xu Wanning looked at the empty bowl and had a more intuitive understanding of the appetite of the soldiers.
"Why don't I cook another bowl?"
"Don't bother, I'm full. ”
Mother Lin looked at the two of them respecting each other but being extremely estranged, and couldn't help urging: "It's not too early this day, An'er must be tired after so long on the road, it's better to rest early." ”
In the bedroom, Lin An sat on the only chair, looking at Xu Wanning who was stirring the hem of her clothes with a fixed gaze.
Under such a gaze, Xu Wanning could only bite the bullet and say, "I can explain." ”
"Good. ”
Xu Wanning said the words that had been rehearsed dozens of times in her heart.
"That day, Li Qianqian lied to me, saying that she knew about my life-saving benefactor's letter, and specially asked me to go to the back mountain, and asked me to bring Da Chun and my sister. I've always considered her my best friend, so I didn't suspect her sinister intentions, so I ......"
Xu Wanning glanced at Lin An cautiously, there was no expression on the man's resolute face, but the long scar under the eyebrows looked particularly clear under the cunning moonlight.
"Da Chun and my sister were conceived and born in October, when I gave birth to my sister, I almost died of heavy bleeding, they were both bought by me in exchange for my life, how could I be willing to sell my life?"
When she looked up again, she had already burst into tears, and her eyes were a little more accusatory when she looked at Lin An: "I admit that I did go a little too far in some things, but you are my husband and the father of the child, you shouldn't doubt me so much." ”
That posture is as if the person who really did something wrong is Lin An.
The strange feeling in Lin An's heart was even worse.
In the past, even if she did something wrong, Xu Wanning would only fight back, and solve things with strength and irritability, how could she have such a low profile?
Even if she has ulterior motives.
I don't know what she has experienced in the past few months that she hasn't come back, as if she has changed.
