Chapter 878: Late Night Long Talk
The village chief didn't go forward, but turned around and took An Yanxi and Lin Lun towards the courtyard.
An Yanxi immediately understood that this house was the residence prepared for them by the village chief. Her heart warmed, it seemed that the villagers had let them live in the best house.
After entering the house, An Yanxi was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Dozens of dilapidated tables and chairs were stacked neatly in one corner of the room, a height of three meters.
By the window of the room was a single bed with indistinguishable sheets and bedding on it. There was also a pillow that I didn't know what to make of.
"Girl, I have wronged you. This is our school and our best house. Because you came, we deliberately vacated the classroom for you to live in. ”
The village chief continued apologetically, "You can make do with it first, and we'll do our best if we need anything." ”
Smell.
An Yanxi suddenly felt particularly guilty. She looked at the village chief and said seriously, "Village chief, we are not some valuable guests. It's just two very ordinary people. Don't bother with it, we're all embarrassed to do that. ”
"Girl, you have donated 1.1 million yuan to our village. You've saved our whole village. ”
Tears welled up in the village chief's cloudy eyes as he spoke, and he sighed, "If it weren't for you, our children wouldn't have been hungry for a long time." Now it's okay, you're here, the children here can have enough to eat, and have a good year. ”
"Village chief, in fact, 700,000 of the 1.1 million yuan was donated by one person."
An Yanxi said softly, and then looked at Lin Lun, who had been silent.
Lin Lun glanced back at her, nodded silently, and walked to the village chief with his legs open, "Hello, grandpa village chief." ”
As soon as this grandfather came out, the village chief suddenly had a flattered look, and he responded again and again.
"Grandpa the village chief, the person who donated 700,000 yuan is my father." Lin Lundao.
"Your father is such a kind man, you must thank him for me when you go back." That's a lifesaver for us. ”
The village chief took Lin Lun's hand, his eyes full of gratitude.
Lin Lun licked his lower lip and said, "Grandpa the village chief, you don't have to thank my father. In turn, I have to apologize to you on behalf of my dad. ”
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
The folds on the village chief's face were a little deeper, and his tone was full of doubt.
Lin Lun silently took a deep breath to calm his nervous mood, he practiced many times before and on the way here. Now that he really had to say it, he was even more nervous.
"Grandpa the village chief, my father was from this village before."
"Really? Who's that? I know and remember all the people in this village. ”
The village chief's eyes lit up and he said urgently.
"His name is ......"
Shure, Lin Lun reacted. When his father was adopted thirty years ago, he pretended to have amnesia and couldn't even remember his name.
His current name was newly chosen by his grandparents who adopted him.
"What's it called?"
Seeing Lin Lun pause, the village chief couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa the village chief, he later changed his name. I don't know what my real name is. ”
Lin Lun's mood became bad, and after a few seconds, he raised his head again to look at the village chief, and continued, "But you must remember what he did. ”
"Thirty years ago, he ......"
Lin Lun briefly said what Father Lin had done thirty years ago.
After all that's said.
Several villages, including the village chief, fell silent.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. The chest of the blocked person is stuffy.
I don't know how long it has been.
Only then did the village chief slowly say a sentence, "Why don't you come in person and let your little doll come over." ”
Embolus?
It turned out that his father's previous name was Plug.
"Grandpa the village chief, I'm sorry, my dad didn't dare to come, he was afraid to face you, he was afraid to face his own mistakes. So, I came for him. This is what he should do as a son. ”
Lin Lun's directness surprised An Yanxi. She thought the kid would explain it tactfully.
The village chief shook his head and sighed, "It's been thirty years, but I didn't expect that I would be able to wait for news of the plug in my lifetime." ”
"Wait?" Lin Lun was surprised, "Village chief grandpa, have you been waiting for news from my father?" ”
"It's not just me, but also the parents of the plug, your own grandparents are also waiting."
"Are they okay?"
It was An Yanxi who spoke, and when she heard the village chief mention the two people that Father Lin cared about the most, she couldn't wait to ask.
"They live right at the entrance of the village."
"Village?"
An Yanxi frowned, and the appearance of the two low mud houses he saw at the entrance of the village appeared in front of him. At the time, she didn't pay much attention to it, but now she remembered when she heard the village chief say this.
"Yes, the two of them have moved to the entrance of the village since the bolt left. One is to avoid the gossip in the village, and the other is to wait for his son at the entrance of the village. ”
The village chief wiped away his tears and looked in the direction of the village entrance with blurred eyes, "Poor, I waited for thirty years to wait for the news of the bolt." ”
"Big Tiger, go and bring Old Man Li and his family."
"Yes, village chief."
One of the villagers immediately ran into the night with a flashlight.
"Village Chief, are they okay?"
An Yanxi asked, this is a very important matter. They are all old, and they are living without food in this environment, and I am afraid that there will be big problems in terms of health.
"It's a long time to breathe."
Really......
An Yanxi's heart couldn't help but chuckle.
Here, Lin Lun has been staring out the door since the villager named Dahu left. You don't have to think about it to know what he's waiting for.
About ten minutes later.
There was a light in the darkness outside the door. The sound of stray footsteps and the light were getting closer and closer.
Lin Lun's hand at his side was clenched tightly, both nervous and expectant. After a while, a pair of elderly people appeared in his sight.
They were hunched on their backs, and their bodies were thin and almost bloodless, only a skeleton.
Lin Lun's body shook violently, they must have suffered a lot over the years, right?
The two old men walked in, their eyes swept around and then fell on Lin Lun, and after seeing Lin Lun's face similar to Lin's father, they immediately burst into tears.
woman
The person walked over tremblingly, she raised her head hard, and stared at Lin Lun tightly, "My bolt, it's really my bolt......"
"Auntie, this is not a plug, this is the son of a plug."
The villager named Dahu just now said. On the way here, he had already told them everything.
"Son......
The woman's eyes suddenly cleared, and she grabbed Lin Lun's hand and put it in her heart, "Yes, yes, this is my eldest grandson." It looks like my bolt. ”
"...... Milk is good. ”
Lin Lun tried his best to remain calm, with a smile on his green face.
An Yanxi looked at this scene and silently stepped aside to look at them.
"Is your dad okay?"
"Grandma, my dad is fine."
"Okay, grandma can rest assured."
"Hello grandpa, my name is ...... Xiao Lun. Lin Lun walked up to Old Man Li, who hadn't said a word since he came in, and said.
"Why didn't your dad come back?"
Old man Li glanced at Lin Lun, leaning down against the door frame.
"Grandpa, my dad ...... him"
Lin Lun can say this question very directly when facing outsiders, but he can't say it when facing his own grandfather.
It is undoubtedly cruel to say to an old man that his son is cowardly and does not dare to face his mistakes.
"After thirty years, does he still dare not come back to admit his mistakes and personally apologize to the people he has hurt?"
Seeing that Lin Lun was no longer speaking, the old man spoke.
Lin Lun was completely speechless, he nodded lightly, and acquiesced to the old man's words. This acquiescence made him feel particularly ashamed.
My grandfather said that about my father in front of me, the point is that he is not wrong.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry."
Lin Lun apologized with difficulty.
"It's not your fault, it's good that you can face all this for your dad."
Old man Li sighed and said earnestly, "Child, I'm proud to have such a grandson as you. ”
"The hardships of the past 30 years have not been in vain."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll convince my dad to come to see you and grandma in person when I go back."
Lin Lun said firmly, this is not a big word, he believes that his father will never run away from it all the time, and he will definitely put down his timidity and come back to face it in person.
"Don't embarrass him, he can come back if he wants. Grandma just needs to know that he is alive and well. ”
Grandma Lin Lun wiped away her tears and said in a trembling voice, "For the past thirty years, I have begged God to bless my son every night, and God must have heard my prayer to have mercy on me." ”
Grandma Lin Lun cried again as she spoke.
At this time, the village chief spoke, "Lao Li and his wife, today is a good day, don't cry." Let the child see the joke. ”
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Grandma Lin Lun wiped her face a little bit with her dirty sleeves, and then walked up to Lin Lun again, "Child, let me take a good look at you, you really look like your father." ”
"Grandma, you're the same as I thought you were."
Lin Lun smiled, a pair of peach blossom eyes bent into a crescent shape, "Kind." ”
"Hehehehe...... Really talkative. ”
Grandma Lin Lun's old face showed a smile for the first time since entering the door.
Old man Li, who was leaning against the door, also smiled.
Lin Lun looked at him, and then said, "Grandpa, you and I imagined the same. ”
"Really? What do you imagine me to be? ”
A hoarse voice came out of Old Man Li's mouth.
"Yes, serious and kind."
Lin Lun replied.
Old man Li seemed to think that what Lin Lun said was right, and sent the welding torch in his hand to his mouth, and nodded silently.
The atmosphere that had been heavy became pleasant before I knew it.
An Yanxi's clenched heart breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth raised a relaxed arc.
So far, it seems that her mission has been completed.
Daddy Lin's parents also forgave him as she thought.
Thousands of kilometers away, An Yanxi seemed to have seen Dad Lin's happy face.
Grandma Lin Lun pulled Lin Lun and asked a lot of Dad Lin before she was willing to leave.
The village chief and several villagers also left.
In the damp and smelly room, only An Yanxi and Lin Lun were left.
On a chair in the center of Lin Lun's room, dark and bright eyes flashed as he looked at An Yanxi, "Sister, today is a day I will never forget in my life." ”
"It's not a day I'll never forget, but it's definitely a meaningful day."
An Yanxi smiled softly.
Lin Lun raised his head and looked at the old-fashioned light bulb hanging on the beam of the room, and smacked his tongue, "It's really poor here, but fortunately, there is a lot of money raised this time, which can help them improve their lives." ”
"Lin Lun, you are such a sensible child."
An Yanxi stared at Lin Lun and sighed sincerely, "In the metropolis, boys of your age are either playing games or picking up girls, and few of them care about the food and clothing of children in the mountains." ”
"What? Do you regret being born a few years earlier? Lin Lun raised his eyebrows, his face could not hide his smugness, "If you are the same age as me, you can't help but fall in love with me?" ”
