Chapter 003: Strange Background

After Xiao Yan left, Lin Xiaohuan fell back into deep thought, especially when Xiao Yan had just mentioned two people.

These two people are none other than her cousin Lin Dazhu and cousin Lin Lili.

After the past few days, Lin Xiaohuan also knew that since she was born, she had lived with her mother Lin Xiu in her mother's house.

Her grandmother Zhao Yue'e has a total of four children, the eldest son accidentally drowned when he was five years old, the second daughter Lin Yu married to the town twenty years ago, the third son Lin Shan married a wife and had children in the village, and the youngest daughter is her mother Lin Xiu, who is still unmarried.

Her grandfather died of illness when Lin Xiu was seventeen years old, and Lin Shan, as the only man in the family, took on the livelihood of the entire Lin family.

When Lin Shan and his wife Wang Hua got married, the Lin family lived in three old houses, and later added two children, Lin Dazhu and Lin Lili, and the family was still crowded together.

It wasn't until Lin Dazhu grew up and there was a difference between men and women that the old house couldn't be squeezed in, so Lin Shan's family rebuilt three tiled houses next to it and moved out.

However, the relationship of the Lin family has not been affected by the separation.

Lin Shan and his wife are still as filial to Zhao Yue'e as before, never forget to eat and drink, and take the same care of Lin Xiu, the old sister who has never married.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaohuan was strange, "My mother is not married, where did I come from?" ”

This era is different from later, strict and conservative, not to mention that a woman is unmarried and pregnant, even if she has a physical pull with the opposite sex, there will be rumors and criticism behind people's backs.

But judging from the memory of the original owner, no one in the village said that they were mother and daughter, and everyone even liked Lin Xiaohuan, who had been beautiful since childhood.

Lin Xiaohuan herself is also curious.

She has been smart since she was a child, although everyone doesn't say it, she also knows that she is different from other children, and finally when she was eight years old, she couldn't help but ask Lin Xiu's father where he went.

At that time, Lin Xiu did not answer this question, but secretly red-eyed.

However, Zhao Yue'e privately pulled her to mention a few words, saying that there was no father, and her grandmother loved her as much as her mother and uncle and aunt, and asked her not to ask this question in the future, otherwise her mother would be sad.

Lin Xiaohuan has always been well-behaved and sensible, and after listening to Zhao Yue'e's words, she really didn't ask again, but the confusion in her heart has always been there.

For Lin Xiaohuan now, she doesn't care about this problem, she is an orphan in the original world, and here, she still has a family of relatives, but she is very content.

However, if there is a chance in the future, she will still find out who her father is, so she should give an explanation to the original Lin Xiaohuan.

Lin Xiu cooked the porridge, and as soon as he got out of the pot room, he saw Lin Xiaohuan sitting under the osmanthus tree in a daze again, and couldn't help but speak with concern: "Xiaohuan, why are you still sitting outside, the sun is out." ”

Lin Xiaohuan came back to her senses, looked at Lin Xiu, and said coquettishly with a smile on her face: "Mom, are you cooking well?" I'm hungry. ”

"It's burned, your aunt sent a few cornmeal poops in the morning, I'll warm one for you and your grandma, you eat first, I'll call your grandma." Lin Xiu said as he turned around and walked towards the small vegetable patch at the west end of the house.

Lin Xiaohuan looked at her crooked figure step by step, and felt a little pity in her heart.

Lin Xiu's right leg was naturally a few centimeters shorter than his left leg, so he walked slope after slope.

"Mom, I'll call it, you can put the food cold first." Lin Xiaohuan caught up with her in three or two steps, hurriedly spoke, and ran directly to the small vegetable field without stopping.

Lin Xiu looked at her running figure, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, this girl always felt a lot dull in the past few days when she woke up, everyone was afraid that she was sad because of the exam, and now it seems that her mood has eased.

At breakfast, Lin Xiaohuan broke the corn poop and half it with Lin Xiu.

Zhao Yue, who was on the side, watched her movements, and couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, but when she looked at Lin Xiu, her eyes became sad and distressed.

Lin Xiaohuan noticed the change in her expression, and had questions in her heart, but she didn't ask.

Not long after eating, Lin Lili came over.

"Grandma, sister-in-law, my mother and I will go to Grandpa Lin's house in front of you in a while, do you want to go together?" Lin Lili asked with a smile at everyone.

The Grandpa Lin in her mouth is the old commander of a certain army in Nancheng.

Because of physical reasons and his age, Grandpa Lin applied for retirement at the end of last year and decided to return to his hometown of Lin Dazhuang with his wife.

After receiving the notice, the relevant departments of Anxian County immediately arranged the task and selected a piece of land near the roadside in Lin Dazhuang, which lasted more than half a year, and built a small building with two up and two down for the old army commander and his wife.

The day before yesterday afternoon, the old army commander returned to the village.

Yesterday, their house was full of people, all of whom were neighbors in the village, and everyone was simple-minded, and they admired this old military commander who had fought with a gun, and they wanted to visit him when they knew that he was back to live.

It was precisely because there were many people yesterday that Lin Xiaohuan's family didn't join in the fun.

"Okay, let your sister-in-law take Xiaohuan with you." Zhao Yue'e responded with a smile, and after speaking, she thought of Lin Shan's father and son, and then spoke: "Lili, when did your father and your brother leave in the morning, can you bring food?" ”

"He left after two or five shifts, bringing four poops with him." Lin Lili grinned at Lin Xiaohuan while responding to Zhao Yue.

It's mid-July, and since the corn planting, the village has entered the slack season.

Early yesterday morning, someone from the town informed me that the village was going to start collecting public grain.

The Lin family discussed it last night, and asked Lin Shan and Lin Dazhu to pull the grain to the town with a cart this morning and hand it in, so that they could complete the task as soon as possible.

Zhao Yue'e nodded after listening to Lin Lili's answer, looked at the time, and urged them to go to the old army commander's house.

On the way there, Lin Xiaohuan held the small cloth bag in his hand, but his mind was on his grandmother's abnormality, so he said casually: "Mom, aunt, is there anything new in our village recently?" ”

Lin Lili walked side by side with her, and her eyes lit up when she heard her question.

Lin Xiu and Wang Hua glanced at each other, and they both thought for a few seconds before they smiled and said, "Now that I am just free, there is nothing new." ”

Lin Lili, who had always been curious, suddenly spoke, "By the way, I heard yesterday that there was an accident at the second cousin's house in Qiantouzhuang?" ”

As soon as Wang Hua heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "You girl, who do you listen to, don't usually learn from those long-tongued women." ”

"Mom, how can I have it, I just went to the pond to clean my clothes, and I heard someone say something." Lin Lili immediately blushed and sneered.

Lin Xiu smiled, took the words and spoke: "Our family Lili is well-behaved and obedient, how can she talk nonsense, right?" ”

"That's it, that's it, my sister-in-law still knows about me, Mom, you blame me." Lin Lili immediately followed Lin Xiu's words, and did not forget to take the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction.

Wang Hua glared at her angrily, and then said with a smile: "Wang Er's family is gone, and yesterday was the first seven." ”

"Huh? Why didn't you listen to the lecture, and no one in our house went? Lin Lili was surprised, she only heard that something happened at his house, and she didn't know that someone died.

Wang Hua looked at Lin Lili's surprised face, and explained: "His family said that funerals are only accepted by relatives, and neighbors are not accepted, so everyone doesn't go." ”

Lin Xiaohuan also became curious when he heard this, and he dug up the rumors he had heard when he was a child, it was said that Wang Er wanted to kiss Lin Xiu before, but then somehow he didn't mention it.

Could it be that grandma's abnormality today has something to do with this second king?
