Chapter 73: It's good not to leave this life like this
Lin Hao's expression An Jin was completely in full view, pursed his lips, and said in his heart, even if he can't let go of his family like this, but he has always stayed, why is this person so stubborn?
"Wan'er, that shopkeeper Lin is very good, and he is really doing business, right? He didn't buy a penny from us, and he gave us a hundred taels of silver. ”
An Ran heard that her mother deliberately praised the shopkeeper Lin in front of her father, and she felt very uncomfortable, what if the shopkeeper Lin was good? What about doing business? Her father has guarded her for so many years, and it is the best.
Seeing that Wan'er didn't answer, An Jin knew that the child was thinking about her father again, so she didn't mind, and continued: "It's a pity that Shopkeeper Lin will leave today, otherwise, I have to invite others to dinner." ”
The corners of An Ran's mouth twitched, mother, you are too much, you don't have to be so angry with my father, right?
An Ran looked up at his father in distress, and sure enough, his eyes seemed to be dark and he couldn't stand, "Dad, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Lin Hao raised his hand and sat down on the table.
Lin Jieyou is leaving?
Thirty years have passed, he is already old, and Lin Jie should be old too.
Thinking of Lin Jie's eldest brother when he was a child, sticking to him all day long, Lin Hao's heart rose with sadness, after all, he was sorry for him and entrusted everything in his family to him.
An Ran helped her father, obviously felt that her father's body was trembling slightly, and looked at her mother complainingly, she wanted to blame her mother, but what could she blame? It was the father himself who chose to cut off the relationship between men and women with her mother-in-law, and would rather be a brother and sister as a family member than have any thoughts about the wife of a benefactor.
The corners of An Jin's mouth raised slightly, she wanted to laugh but had to hold back, seeing Wan'er's little appearance of wanting to speak and stopping was really aggrieved for her, it was strange if she wanted to blame, maybe we could untie the knot in your father's heart if we quarreled, and your father and your uncle could see each other today.
This child is filial piety, and he obviously complains about her, but he can't bear it, An Jin feels meaningless, and picks up the embroidery sample and embroiders the flowers.
It's not that she doesn't want to tell Wan'er that the shopkeeper Lin is her own uncle, Wan'er's family has to Lin Hao to say it herself, and she respects his choice.
"There's chicken stewed in the pot, it's almost ready now, I'll take a look." Lin Hao slowed down for a long time before he made up his mind, since he had sworn that he would protect his wife and children for Brother Weiguang in this life, then he could no longer be shaken by hearing the news of his family.
"Dad, I'll go with you." An Ran helped her father up.
"Okay." Lin Hao smiled miserably, and he happened to have something to ask his daughter.
An Jin shuttled with needles and threads, didn't lift his eyelids, and said silently in his heart: "Go, it's time for your father and daughter to talk well." ”
The father and daughter came to the kitchen, and when they saw that Wei Lin was not there, they asked, "Dad, Wei Lin is not at home?" ”
"No, I let him work alone in the fields in the back mountain, he will come back later by himself, don't worry."
"Oh, I'm not worried about Dad." Sit down peacefully in front of the stove.
Lin Hao lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the chicken was stewed golden, poked the meat with chopsticks, it was not rotten enough, so he covered the pot and continued to stew, Lin Hao was silent for a while and said peacefully: "Wan'er, dad asked you, how does the shopkeeper Lin look?" ”
An Ran knew that his father's concern for his mother would definitely ask him about the shopkeeper Lin, so in order not to let his father be deeply shocked, he hummed: "It's not good, full of beard, thin and thin, obviously looks like a reckless man, but he pretends to be elegant and nondescript." ”
After listening to Wan'er's description, Lin Hao frowned, how could Lin Jie look like a reckless man? With his delicate appearance when he was a child, even after thirty years, he is still a beautiful bearded man, Lin Hao can imagine that his younger brother has a beard, elegant and elegant.
Seeing that his father's face was stretched, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and An Ran also grinned, this person, no matter what age he is, when he encounters a rival in love, he will want to compare with the other party, and when he finds out that his rival is not as good as himself, he will naturally feel relaxed.
Although An Rangang was a little ugly about the Lin shopkeeper, in his eyes, the Lin shopkeeper was indeed inferior to her father.
I want to rob her father's love in my heart, believe it or not, she stomped on him twice?
Shopkeeper Lin is so old, he must have a wife and concubine at home, I don't know why my mother is attracted to him? What do you still care about him? Angry with her.
The father and daughter were thinking about their own thoughts, and suddenly, An Ran thought of something, and blurted out to ask: "Dad, why haven't you told me about my grandfather's family since I was a child?" ”
Lin Hao didn't expect Wan'er to suddenly ask about this, and was stunned for a while, could it be that Wan'er saw her uncle and felt that Lin Jie was somewhat similar to him?
No, Lin Jie looks like his second aunt, and he looks like his father, although his brothers are handsome, they are not alike.
Look at Wan'er again, eight points inherited her mother's appearance.
Wan'er Niang used to be a beauty in the village, so Wan'er was slim and elegant, and Wei Lin regarded her as a treasure.
To tell the truth, he promised An Jin to marry Wan'er Niang was also selfish, Wei Lin is the only son of Wei Guang's eldest brother, seeing that Wei Lin is the same as his father, and his temperament and appearance are very similar to his father, Lin Hao is worried about his future marriage, instead of letting Wei Lin marry a woman who is not familiar with him as an adult, it is better to marry his daughter to him, the two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they know the roots, he can continue to stay with An Jin and Wei Lin's mother and son to take care of him, so he agreed to the marriage with Wan'er Niang.
Maybe it was his sincerity that touched the heavens, he and Wan'er Niang got a daughter in one fell swoop, and on the day she gave birth to Wan'er, Wei Lin was reluctant to let go of Wan'er, saying that Wan'er was so good-looking. Keep your books in stock
When they grew up, Wei Lin did not disappoint him, he always liked Wan'er, but Wan'er regarded Wei Lin as his eldest brother, so he had to persuade Wan'er to agree to marry Wei Lin.
Although the young couple have been separated for a few years, fortunately, they are finally reunited, and Wan'er has also wanted to open in the past few years of separation, no, now the little couple is like glue all day long, he is happy to see it, and I believe that soon An Jin will hold his grandson again.
An Ran saw his father frowning for a while and showing his face for a while, and said in his heart, Dad, you also told me when you think about it, don't worry about it alone and laugh alone.
"Daddy, daddy, what do you want?" An Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and the more Dad laughed, the more exaggerated it became.
"What's wrong?" Lin Hao was woken up by his daughter, and asked with a smile on his face.
"It's nothing, you don't want to talk about your grandfather's family." An Ran pouted.
Look at my father's music, my grandfather's family must be a kind and scholarly family, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cultivate a person like my father who is rich and wealthy, and values love and righteousness.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's nothing to say." Lin Hao didn't want to talk about his family, but since Wan'er asked, she also had to let her know some members of her family, "Your grandfather married a wife and three concubines, your grandmother is the daughter of the county magistrate of Anxian County, surnamed An, named An Yiqing, born dignified and elegant, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, likes to read, your father sat on your grandmother's lap when he was one year old and read and ......"
Lin Hao paused when he said this, and turned from a sweet smile to a bitter sigh, "Your grandmother's marriage to your grandfather was not happy, and she died depressed when your father was an adult. ”
It turns out that my grandmother is also surnamed Ann? It's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, but it's a pity that my grandmother passed away too early, otherwise I must have lived to be a very kind grandmother.
"What about grandfather? Is it still alive? As soon as An Ran said this, she felt that she had asked in vain, her father hadn't come home for thirty years, how could she know that her grandfather was not alive?
"Alive."
Lin Hao's answer made An Ran choke, and he said unexpectedly: "How do you know? ”
Of course, he knew that if his father really died, Lin Jie would definitely spend money to post notices on the streets and alleys of Pi Kingdom, so that he could go home and keep his filial piety.
After so many years of no news, his father must be alive and well.
"Dad, why don't you go home when your grandfather is alive, because of your grandmother, you hate your grandfather, right?" Dad said that his grandmother's marriage was unhappy, and he died depressed in his adult years, presumably when Dad was a child, he witnessed his grandfather marrying a concubine and snubbing his mother, so he hated his grandfather.
"Don't talk about hate, the Lin family doesn't have me, your second uncle takes care of the family, I'm just a useless scholar, I can't help your grandfather, if I'm at home, your grandfather may not be able to live so long." Lin Hao smiled bitterly.
"Second uncle? Dad, how many uncles do I have? An Ran asked curiously.
"When I left home, I had three younger brothers and two younger sisters, and I don't know if your grandfather added them later."
"Then which uncle and aunt do you have the best relationship with?"
"Your second uncle, his mother died of illness when he was two years old, I begged my mother to adopt him, eat and sleep with me, and my brother has a very good relationship."
"Then you must miss him a lot." Enron concluded.
Lin Hao's eyes lit up and nodded, "Yes." ”
"Let's go see him if you want to." An Ran could see that his father was deeply depressed and missed his second uncle.
An Jin pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between their father and daughter in the kitchen, and when she heard Wan'er persuade her father to go to see Lin Jie, she also nodded, "Yes, let's go and see, it's close at hand." ”
"No, your second uncle is no longer the child I needed to take care of back then, he has grown up, he has also started a family, has his own wife and children, I still go to see what he does, why bother adding troubles."
"This Lin Hao is stubborn." An Jin gritted his teeth and scolded.
An Ran pursed her lips, saying that she could understand her father, the brothers have been separated for thirty years, each other has gone from youth to maturity, and after vicissitudes, they are no longer the carefree teenager they were back then, and besides, there is still the love in his heart that his father can't let go.
"Dad, have you been silently guarding us for the rest of your life? ...... I have you in my heart. ”
An Jin was drinking water to suppress the anger in his heart, who knew that when he heard Wan'er suddenly come to such a sentence, a mouthful of water squirted out directly.
"This Wan'er, what are you doing with me in a good manner?" An Jin's choking cough.
Lin Hao was silent, silently took out the stewed chicken from the pot, put the rice that needed to be steamed at noon, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Come to life, I am not worthy of this life." ”
An Jin in the room sighed lightly when she heard this, she understood Lin Hao's inner torment and suffering.
It's good to never give up like this in this life.
