Chapter 14: Wonderful Love
Wind Chime Town is xenophobic, which has been the case since ancient times, but it is different from the present.
Lin Yan didn't think it was good, and she didn't think it was bad, anyway, she didn't care too much. She doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care, such as her mother Lin Yuan.
Mother's mother is a young lady from a landlord's family in the old era, and she has lived a worry-free life since she was a child.
The advent of the turbulent era has changed a lot, such as people and things.
Her parents were beaten to death with sticks, and the eldest lady who didn't eat whole grains fell into the dust, and if it weren't for the desperate obstruction of her readers, the consequences would be needless to say.
She soon married a scholar and washed away her status as a landlord.
It's not that she doesn't hate men, she hates them, because her family is ruined and she has a man's credit, but she is an old-fashioned person.
Her mother has taught her since she was a child that women should follow three virtues and four virtues, and since they are married, they should plan well for their families.
She never smiled at him, but she did her best for her family. The man was sad and helpless, and he treated her better, but she still didn't like him.
The child fell to the ground, the family was overjoyed, and the man breathed a sigh of relief. It's a pity that the woman loves her child to the core, and she is still lukewarm to him, like two most familiar strangers. But the man doesn't give up, and the tenacity of the scholar is vividly reflected in him, no matter how she doesn't treat him, he still treats her like a treasure.
He knew she liked older things, and he desperately collected them. From youth to middle age, from middle to old age, he eventually made a home for her.
The room with mahogany furniture as the furnishings and full of national fame is probably the appearance of the home in the woman's memory.
It's a pity that even if a man dies, the woman doesn't forgive him and doesn't say a word of favoritism.
She told him that being your wife was forced to be helpless. But since I have become your wife, I will plan for this family. But she would never like him, because when her house was set on fire, he stood outside with a torch.
The old man held her hand and told her that he had no regrets. also knows her temperament, so he doesn't blame her. It's just a pity that I didn't help her dispel the darkness in her heart until she died, so that she was always awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.
With tears in his eyes, he left.
did not take away the regrets in my heart. The stubborn woman didn't lie to him until she died, even if it was a white lie, she let the old man leave with a heart full of regret.
In the words of Lin Yan's mother, Dad is a big stupid hat, he has loved all his life, he didn't even respect each other, and before he died, he still wondered if his wife slept well. In the end, I got a "I can't afford to love, I don't like it, I don't get tired of it", such a very ironic conclusion from the perspective of husband and wife.
The man died, but the woman loved. For more than 70 years, she has never slept until dawn, and even when she wakes up, she is just smirking happily, thinking about something with spring in her eyes, like a girl who thinks of spring.
Lin Yan once asked grandma, why didn't you like grandpa before?
Grandma smiled and said, "What is there to love about an executioner who kills his whole family?" ”
Lin Yan asked again: "Then why did you start liking him again after Grandpa left?" ”
The legs can no longer walk, the teeth are gone, the whole body is like dead bark, and the old man with age spots is like a shy girl, raised his hand, touched the hosta on the sparse hair, and told his granddaughter, "Because he died, I began to like him, this is called first come, first come, first come." ”
The old man touched the child's confused head, and explained happily: "He killed my whole family first, so naturally I can't like him, but since he is dead, the previous things will go with him." Now he is kind to me, like the flood that has accumulated for more than 70 years, which has washed away the embankment that my grandmother built with all kinds of emotions. ”
"Good man, everyone will like it. Since he's so good after taking off his identity as a murderer, how could I not like him? ”
At that moment, the child who knew nothing was crying heartbreakingly, while the old man who knew everything was smiling, like a girl who had tasted love for the first time, savoring the good and bad from her sweetheart.
When the old lady was lying on the bed, her face was full of cheers, Lin Yan was full of puzzlement. She really didn't understand, what a terrible thing it was to die, even she, a child who didn't understand anything, was instinctively afraid of death, why could grandma still laugh so happily?
As if seeing the children's incomprehension, the old grandmother smiled and said: "I'm going to see my beloved, I'm going to find my father-in-law, why should I be sad?" ”
"Grandma, what if you wait for you to go down and grandpa doesn't recognize you? After all, you've broken grandpa's heart for the rest of your life. Lin Yan asked innocently.
"Ah~hahahaha......" The old lady's smile gradually lost and finally turned into a kind smile.
Everyone suddenly felt that the temperature in the room dropped rapidly, and their bodies couldn't help but shiver, and they all wanted to slap this dead girl who lacked eyes to death, was it the time to ask this kind of question? If you want to kill your grandmother, can't you close your eyes?
The old lady finally said kindly, "Go and find me a knife, I'll bring it down." ”
In the end, Lin Zihai found a peachwood sword for the old lady to suppress evil spirits.
The old lady held the peachwood sword, and her smile gradually became kind, but when she saw the junior who was already in tears beside the bed, she was furious and scolded: "You white-eyed wolves with no conscience, can't you see your mother, your grandmother, and your elders?" I'm going to see the man I love, not to die, what are I crying for? ”
The children, who were obviously heartbroken, showed an ugly smile one after another, and the old lady nodded with satisfaction, hugged the peachwood sword, and closed her eyes contentedly forever.
The old man said that the so-called love is just the bitterness wrapped in sugar, and when the sweetness fades, you can still feel as sweet as ever, then it is love. It's just that her old man is more strange, and she first suffered before she tasted the last sweetness. But she doesn't regret it at all, because she! When he dies, he is wrapped in sweetness.
In front of a woman who is looking forward to another world, is death something to be feared? Of course not, it's something to look forward to with all your imagination.
This is the story of her grandmother, a little stubborn, a little weird, a little quirky, and a little cute.
This is also her grandfather's story, full of helplessness, unwillingness, and regret.
Compared with her grandmother's stubbornness, she was actually more influenced by her grandfather, so she remembered some of what her grandfather had said before.
Women, it's best to be gentle with all things, and be ruthless with the men you like. Otherwise, it's hard to make the man you like miss for a lifetime.
Therefore, Lin Yan has been sensible since he was a child, and he is very gentle with everything, and he is the kind of person who can make most people hate it.
"Yanyan, it will take more than three years to go and bottle my mother."
"Okay mom." Lin Yan, who was more than seven years old, agreed obediently, took the glass bottle and money, and quietly went out with small steps.
Fengling Town is not big or small, with a local population of about 30,000 or 40,000, which is not prosperous, but it is not backward, because Fengjing Town has the only high school in the nearby township.
When he met his neighbors, Lin Yan would stop and say hello with a smile, for this cute and sensible child, both adults and children liked it very much.
Lin Yan was already surrounded by a lot of young Lin Yan, and he grew up to be a naughty boy with the goal of marrying her. But she doesn't care, because she understands very well that everyone's so-called liking now is just a mood that changes at any time, and it is not the same thing as the love of grandparents.
After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Yan finally stopped at the door of a grocery store and called Aunt Lin softly.
A woman with a somewhat fat figure stood up from behind the counter, and when she saw that it was a little girl, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "What does Xiao Yan need?" ”
For this little girl who often helps her family, helps the people nearby, and does what she can, no one will hate it.
Lin Yan showed a smile, "Aunt Lin, my mother asked me to make some soy sauce, I want your family to brew it, my mother said that the market can't do it, or Aunt Lin, the taste of your own brew is mellow enough." ”
"Your little mouth, it's sweet, come and eat sugar first, and my aunt will go get something."
Lin Yan shook his head, "No, Aunt Lin, you are open to do business, if other children see it, they will have to chase after you." ”
Lin Lianying raised her eyebrows, crossed her waist, and said angrily: "They dare, the old lady is not their mother, why give it to them for nothing?" ”
Lin Yan covered his mouth and snickered.
Lin Lianying was slightly stunned, then reacted, walked over, stretched out her hand and nodded her forehead, and scolded with a smile: "People are small and big." ”
Lin Yan took the opportunity to grab her arm and said coquettishly: "Xiao Yan knows that Aunt Lin loves me, but this is not good." My mother often told me that you can't ask for other people's things for nothing, and if you make a habit, you may have a gap in the future. Xiao Yan likes Aunt Lin, but she doesn't want to be a stranger with Aunt Lin because of this. ”
"Okay, well, knowing that Xiaoyan is sensible, my aunt won't embarrass you. Let's go and make soy sauce with my aunt. ”
"Hehe, Aunt Lin is going to give me a little more, so I can go back and ask my mother for credit."
"No problem, a full bottle guaranteed."
Lin Lianying took the funnel and a spoon made of bamboo buckets, and led Lin Yan to the backyard.
As soon as the door opened, before I reached the backyard, the mellow smell of soy sauce in the yard couldn't wait to enter people's nostrils with the breeze.
Lin Yan sniffed a few times, and couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of Aunt Lin's brewing, once fragrant, soy sauce Shih Tzu, it really deserves its name." ”
Lin Lianying smiled from ear to ear. Is there anything more satisfying than a heartfelt compliment from a child? Of course, there are, for example, children change their ways every time they come, but they never repeat the praise.
Filled with a full bottle and put it in the cloth bag used to buy groceries, the two left the backyard satisfied.
"Is it okay for Xiao Yan to help my aunt with one thing?"
"Yes, if I can do it."
