Chapter 14: Where to Return Home
"Xia'er, wake up quickly, it's easy to get windy outside, go home and sleep." In a daze, I heard Aunt Lin's voice, and felt someone tap her on the shoulder.
"Auntie, you're back, where have you been? Why isn't there anyone there? ”
In the haze, seeing Aunt Lin, Lin Xia asked.
"Xia'er, come into the house quickly, you should be hungry, let's talk while eating." Uncle Lin had already entered the house, urging while cleaning up the dining table.
Lin Xia responded, and then slowly got up and entered the house.
Thinking of the bird eggs in his arms, he told me that when he came back today, he passed under the cliff and saw an unknown big bird fighting the fire, and by the way, he saved five bird eggs.
"That's fine, you were caught by General He's men before.
Now that they are still in the villa, you should not go out recently, and when General He and the others are gone, you can go out again. Uncle Lin said.
looked at the bird eggs in Lin Xia's arms, and said with a smile: "So you are not bored at home, let's keep them with you." ”
Seeing the head of the house sitting at the table talking to Lin Xia, Aunt Lin took the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and then put them up.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin, I'm still worried that you won't let me raise it!" Lin Xia got Uncle Lin's promise and said happily.
"Silly boy, it's not a big deal to raise a few birds." Uncle Lin didn't take this seriously at all.
After speaking, the meal was also arranged, and the dishes were much more hearty than usual, in addition to the usual few seasonal vegetables, there were also Lin Xia's favorite stewed fish soup, steamed large river shrimp, and glutinous rice beef balls.
Aunt Lin looked at Lin Xia eating happily, stopped her chopsticks, and said tentatively, "Xia'er, auntie has something to tell you." ”
Seeing Lin Xia nodding, he finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "The sugar crisp recipe you made every night before can double the mining speed."
We've all reported it to the manager, and you've been locked up until now, and it's not convenient to discuss it with you. ”
Uncle Lin put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and at this time took out a dry cigarette, lit it and smoked it, and the confused green smoke rose.
"That recipe was originally to repay you and Uncle Lin for your great kindness, so you can take it if you are useful." Lin Xia still had doubts in his heart.
She asked, "But it was Qinglan who delivered the food, why haven't you heard her mention it?" ”
Uncle Lin's eyebrows frowned deeper, but he buried his head a little lower, and smoked silently.
"We didn't let Qinglan know about this, you know that girl is shallow and can't hide her words." Aunt Lin replied with a smile.
She patted Lin Xia's hand again and said, "If we don't report this recipe to the manager, Mo Aoxin will come and ask for it."
If Mo Aoxin is coming, all of us who know the recipe will not be able to escape the doom.
I'm talking to you, Uncle Lin, and I'm talking to Mo Changguan.
Instead of trembling and guarding against Mo Aoxing, it is better to strike first and report to the manager first, and you can also sell it to the manager.
Let everyone in the mine know about it, and we can be safe.
No matter how capable he is, what about it? Can he kill all the long-term workers? ”
Seeing Lin Xia thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.
Aunt Lin said again: "The manager also thanked us for our contribution and said that he could let Qinglan go to the Mo Family School to study.
Originally, I wanted you to go, but now General He doesn't know how long he will stay in the master's house, and the officers and soldiers outside are also patrolling all day, which is even more inconvenient.
So I decided to let Qinglan go to the school instead of you. ”
After all, children still have to go to school, and they can be more productive in the future than working in the mines all day.
After all, Qinglan called Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's father, and her father and mother planned for their children, and Lin Xia couldn't pick on it, so she should repay the Lin family for taking them in.
Uncle Lin felt that he couldn't help it, and blamed himself for not being able to send the two children to the Mojia class to study.
He put down the hookah and said apologetically to Lin Xia: "It's my uncle who doesn't live with you, and I will find a way to send you to the school in the future." ”
Aunt Lin also said when she heard this: "Yes, Aunt Lin knows that you are a smart person, even if you don't go to the academy, you will definitely have great achievements in the future."
And you are kind-hearted, and you usually coax her everywhere, and you will definitely support your sister Qinglan to go to the academy, right?
is not like Qinglan, she is a stupid girl with no heart and no lungs. If you don't take advantage of the present to learn more skills, I am afraid that it will be delayed in the future.
Xia Er, I can't get into the Mo family class this time, let's find another chance next time. ”
Aunt Lin patted Lin Xia's shoulder again and comforted her.
Although Lin Xia could understand Aunt Lin, she was inevitably disappointed in her heart.
In order to reassure Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, try to make yourself smile more easily.
Lin Xia said: "Auntie, I understand this, this is the best way." Qinglan is also my sister, and I should love her. ”
Aunt Lin saw that Lin Xia had no objections, so she smiled and said, "You have always been sensible and polite, so then Aunt Lin and your uncle can rest assured."
After dinner, we have to help put out the fire, and we still have to go to work, and I guess we will all come back later today.
By the way, because Qinglan went to the Mo family's class, the food and accommodation were contracted by the school. She's not going to come back.
The room is yours alone.
I saw you sleeping soundly at the door before, and your eyes were dark, and you didn't sleep well at first glance.
Today, you can rest at home, no one will disturb you, go to sleep. ”
Lin Xia nodded, turned around and went back to the house.
Closed the door, turned around and leaned against the door, and the voice of Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin came from behind.
"Can you tell the child well?"
"Why didn't I say it properly, you said it again, it's not these things? Sooner or later, she will have to accept it, and you will be a good person?
Why didn't you say it just now? A person who smokes vigorously, decided to make it with us, and now I can't accept it? So you blame me? ”
"That's not what I meant, okay, okay, you can stop the meeting, I didn't say it!"
"Now let me stop talking? I know you're not going to be able to get it, am I feeling better again? It's not that we won't let her go to school, there will definitely be other opportunities in the future. ”
Although Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin lowered her voice to speak, she still heard it.
Eventually, all sounds gradually became quieter until they disappeared and could not be heard.
She doesn't blame them.
I really don't blame them.
It's just that I can't control my nose and keep being sore.
It's just that I suddenly miss my father and mother very much.
But I can't think of anything.
She squatted down and hugged herself, blaming her, it was all her fault.
Probably because she forgot her father and mother, she let her send someone under the fence.
She looked at the five eggs nested in the quilt, went over to hold them, and said, "You will also forget your mother, but don't be sad, don't worry."
I'm here to be your mother, and I'll raise you. ”
This house was originally lived in by her and Qinglan.
In the past, I would feel that living in a space for two people was a bit cramped, but now I feel empty, as if there is an echo of a sigh.
She was holding five eggs, and she finally felt warmer.
Outside the door came the sound of the door closing and the occasional chatter.
Eventually, all sounds gradually became quieter until they disappeared and could not be heard.
