Chapter Ninety-Three: It Can't Be You
After eating, Daddy Lin's five stomachs and six organs felt like he had come to life, and he sat on the kang half against the wall with satisfaction.
Zhou Ximei packed up her things and returned to the house to find that it was a little difficult to sleep tonight.
There is only a kang in this house, and when Father Lin rescued him, because he was unconscious, the two sons slept in the middle, but it didn't matter, but now that he is awake, it seems a little inappropriate to sleep on a kang.
So Zhou Ximei sat on the kang and picked up the needlework basket, and started embroidering with the help of the oil lamp, hoping that he could fall asleep first, so that it would not look embarrassing.
Daddy Lin has slept for three days and two nights in a row, how can he still sleep, seeing that the two boys have been lying down, where she is still sitting alone doing embroidery work, she has vaguely guessed the reason in her heart, and she doesn't know what to say in her heart.
The two sat awkwardly on the kang like this, and when it was almost the third watch, Zhou Ximei couldn't stand it, and she still had a needle and thread in her hand, and fell asleep on the kang table.
At this time, this scene made Daddy Lin go back to the time when Wu was still alive, and he was also sitting on the kang doing needlework, Meizi and Shanzi were still young, lying on the kang and falling asleep, and a few times when they came back late from the mountain, they saw such a similar scene.
……
The next day, when the two met, they were a little embarrassed by each other, but there were some inexplicable emotions in the embarrassment.
Daddy Lin thought about it all night last night, thinking that he would go back first to report his safety, discuss it with Meizi, and then take the person back.
Yin Youlan and her family discussed at home all night, and felt that the sister-in-law could not make a mistake in remarrying this time, so early in the morning, after packing up, she went to the sister-in-law's house.
The two are not far away, a few steps away.
"Ximei, cook, cook more, I haven't eaten with your brother yet."
Zhou Ximei's house is not big, and there is the kitchen on the right side of the door, and Yin Youlan saw her sister-in-law busy in the kitchen as soon as she entered the door.
Daddy Lin sat awkwardly all night last night, if it wasn't until it was dark he knew that there was only one kang in the house, and he would have to go back to Yangshu Village regardless of whether he was injured or not.
"Brother Zhou Xian is here, I just have something I want to tell you, I am thinking about going home first to report safety, and then kicking the door to visit." When Father Lin saw Zhou Xigui coming, he happened to tell him about it.
Zhou Xigui was stunned, afraid of something: "Don't, your body is not yet complete, what if something happens on the road?" ”
"But I'm afraid that the children at home are in a hurry, so let's go back, so I can rest assured, and Poplar Village is not far from here." Daddy Lin said.
"Otherwise, tell me the address of your home, and I'll run for you." Zhou Xigui was a little anxious, scratched the back of his head and said.
"This ...... This is too troublesome Brother Zhou Xian, so I'll go back by myself. "Daddy Lin didn't expect him to try his best to keep it like this.
"No trouble, no trouble, by the way, I don't know how you got hurt?"
Zhou Xigui was secretly thinking about how to open his mouth to leave people behind, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know how he was injured and fell at the door of Ximei's house.
"This ...... Ximei didn't tell you? "Daddy Lin was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that when he was found, there was still a Tartar corpse beside him, and by the way, there was Xiao Hei, I don't know if he was dead?
"Ximei said to open the door, and you were injured and fell at the door of the house, and nothing else was said." Zhou Xigui didn't think about it deeply at that time, he was only worried that people wouldn't die at home.
Seeing that Zhou Xigui was still staring at himself, waiting for a reply, he was busy sloppy and said: "Hunting in the woods, I saw a roe deer, I chased it all the way, and I didn't know why we were injured, and I got lost in this area again, and I came here in a daze." ”
"I remember that there is a big green hill behind Poplar Village, and I still followed my mother to go to my relatives once." Zhou Xigui sighed.
"Oh, your family still has relatives in Poplar Village? Which one is it? Father Lin said curiously.
"My aunt, maybe you also know her, surnamed Huang, she married into your village, and I heard that she is now the matchmaker of your village." Zhou Xigui said.
"Yo, that's a coincidence, I know Mrs. Huang." Daddy Lin suddenly thought that at the beginning of the year, Mrs. Huang mentioned a family matter to him, and the woman seemed to be surnamed Zhou, so it wouldn't be such a coincidence!
Daddy Lin was beating a drum in his heart.
Zhou Xigui suddenly patted his thigh as if he had discovered a new continent, and asked happily: "Brother Lin, my aunt told Ximei about a family in your village before, and it seems that the surname is Lin, it can't be you, right?!" ”
Father Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know how to answer this.
Zhou Xigui was too excited to care so much, and said to the daughter-in-law standing outside the door: "Youlan, you said that this is not a coincidence, the object that my aunt told Ximei before was Brother Lin." ”
Yin Youlan was stunned for a long time, and muttered, "This is too fateful." ”
I was taken aback, I heard my aunt say before that the Lin family is now developed, and there are houses and restaurants in the town, so my aunt regrets that she didn't say this family business at the beginning. No, this time no matter what, let Ximei seize this opportunity, and the bride price can't be less.
Instantly turned his mind, and then looked at Daddy Lin, like the God of Wealth, and stammered: "Yo, it seems to be Brother Lin, this is really a coincidence, it seems that you and Sister Xi are a godsend!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Xigui and said: "Xigui, Daddy Lin is a distinguished guest of our family, I will go home and get the money to drink, and let Ximei buy good dishes on the table for a while, and your brothers will have a good meal at noon." ”
Zhou Xigui received her hint, nodded, and smiled at Father Lin's smile with a few more flattery, "Yes, yes, yes, you should treat Brother Lin well." ”
Daddy Lin was a little anxious when he heard this, and he wanted to go home for a while, why would he go back if he was drunk? Not to mention the wounds. Hurriedly refused: "Brother and sister don't have to be so polite, the wine is exempt, do you want to go back for a while?" ”
How could Yin Youlan let go of this opportunity, she was already smiling from ear to ear, and walked as she spoke: "Yes, yes, I'll be back soon." ”
After speaking, he turned around and strode towards home, thinking that there was no meat at Ximei's house on the way, and when he got home, he asked the big girl to catch a big and fat hen, and personally went to the kitchen to take two knives and two catties of bacon, and let the big girl send it to Ximei's house together, and he went back to the house and counted a hundred big money, thinking that it was too little, and counted another hundred Wen, twisting the wine jar before going to drink.
Yin Youlan twisted the wine jar and finished the wine, smiling in her heart, and carefully holding it in her arms, which made her feel a little proud, and she thought in her heart that in the future, she would have to let Ximei thank herself for her good intentions, and help her niece to say that the family is a good family, and then give the big bolt and the small bolt to find a steward errand in the restaurant, and the Zhou family will also develop after the morning.
The more I thought about it, the more beautiful my heart became, and even when I walked, I unconsciously straightened my body, and walked in small steps, like the rich wife.
Dabao looked at the hen and bacon brought by his eldest cousin, swallowed his saliva, and knew that he could eat meat at home again today, and suddenly felt that he had to follow this new father, and then he would be able to eat more meat in the future.
