Chapter Seventy-Six: Curiosity
Early the next morning, the enthusiastic Fang Lifang personally sent Lin Xi to the service station to take the military vehicle that went into the city to do business.
was only away for three nights, but when Lin Xi walked into Xingfu Lane again, he had a very special, as if he was in a different world.
Liao Shuyi and Ah Qiu were already waiting at the door with Xiao Xin and Xiao Lei, and when they saw Lin Xi coming with a bag, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and the two little babies were even more screaming cheers, rushing forward to greet them.
Lin Xi squatted down with a smile and Xiaoxin Xiaolei held hands and said hello with his forehead, and under the urging of his grandmother and Ah Qiu, they happily entered the house together, worried that Lin Xi was cold, and her grandmother pulled her to sit by the brazier, Ah Qiu turned around and went into the kitchen, took out a few bowls of brown sugar glutinous rice balls with a tray, and sprinkled a layer of golden osmanthus flowers, which were steaming hot and sweet, and I wanted to eat them when I looked at them.
Liao Shuyi first took a bowl and handed it to Lin Xi, and then one bowl per person, there was still one bowl left in the tray, Lin Xi knew that they had originally calculated that Shen Yihui would come back together, seeing that grandma and Ah Qiu's eyes met and quickly separated, the expressions of the two were a little unnatural, but they couldn't bear to ask, so as not to think too much, Lin Xi told the truth:
"Grandma, Shen Yihui is too busy with work, let me come back first, and when he is free, I will come to see you."
Liao Shuyi listened and hurriedly said: "That's naturally important work, I hope everything goes smoothly for him, and everything else doesn't matter...... Come on, Xiaoxi eat the dumplings while they are hot, your favorite, your Aqiu Po got up early in the morning in order to make this, put sesame filling, and worked hard to get osmanthus, but it is fragrant! ”
Ah Qiu said with a smile: "Osmanthus is not rare, mainly because Xiaoxi brought back glutinous rice and sesame seeds from the south, we haven't eaten such pure and fragrant glutinous rice balls for many years." Yihui is busy with work and can't come back for the time being, it doesn't matter, I grinded ten catties of glutinous rice dry flour for the New Year, when we make rice cakes and make rice balls, he can eat them when he comes back. ”
Lin Xi said: "He may not be able to come back for the New Year, their troops are not like ordinary units, he said that he is free, and he doesn't know when." ”
"That's it......" Ah Qiu took a spoon and stirred the rice balls in the bowl, and turned his head to look at Liao Shuyi.
Liao Shuyi frowned slightly: She knows enough about military marriage, when her daughter Lin Qiao married Sun Qingyong, she saw all the hardships her daughter had endured, and now her granddaughter is also married to a soldier, and she has just gotten married, and her son-in-law will not accompany her when she returns to her parents' house, so won't there be more such situations in the future?
felt sorry for her granddaughter, but watching the child eat sweet rice balls one by one, Liao Shuyi was afraid of affecting her appetite, so she didn't say anything, only smiled and added a few more rice balls to her.
But his heart is full of mixed tastes and sourness.
After a while, he comforted himself: her granddaughter is strong enough, hard enough and knows how to fight, she is actually very different from her mother Lin Qiao, and Shen Yihui is not Sun Qingyong - this is really worth celebrating, Lin Xi met Shen Yihui, who is responsible and responsible, and he is ten times better than Sun Qingyong back then!
So, maybe you don't have to think too much, life is a long road, there is a lot to experience, as long as the two children are happy in the end, it is nothing to suffer a little grievance in the process!
After eating the dumplings, Lin Xi told her grandmother and Ah Qiu about the wedding in the army, Liao Shuyi and Ah Qiu listened to it with relish, with a smile on their faces, Lin Xi didn't hide that Sun Bingyan brought people to his new house to make noise and was finally disposed of.
Liao Shuyi and Ah Qiu's smiles disappeared immediately, their expressions were angry, and Ah Qiu shouted directly: "Are they so shameless? The little ones go to your new house to make trouble, and the old ones come here to make a noise! ”
Lin Xi paused for a moment: "What?" Wang Ying and Sun Qingyong both went to the army, who else came here to quarrel? ”
"Why not? The old woman who came to see the house that day and wanted to live in this house and wanted to eat chicken, Wang Ying's wife! It's not a good thing to look at, it's demonic. Coming with your grandmother and Mrs. Sun, and a few of her daughters, grandchildren and grandchildren, in short, a large group, two old things scolded and scolded, and the neighbors came to persuade them, and they pulled people to talk nonsense, saying that you robbed other people's marriages, our Lin family is a capitalist or something, and the propaganda is transparent, and some neighbors believe them! The men and women of all sizes who came with him directly wanted to move and occupy the house, saying that this house was bought by Sun Qingyong with money, why should he be surnamed Lin? The buzzing and noisy are not like words, fortunately, Chen Gong'an somehow got the news, and soon came over, the Sun family was not afraid at the beginning, and Chen Gong'an fought for a while, followed by a few more public security, took out handcuffs to detain people, Chen Gong'an said that you should also notify the unit leaders of your two aunts, and then call Sun Qingyong and Wang Ying back together, everyone went to the bureau to reason, and they left. Ah Qiu said angrily.
"It must be Wang Ying's ghost, that disgusting woman! Sun Bingyan got into a big deal, Wang Ying had to stay in the army to beg for help, guard Sun Bingyan, she couldn't come back by herself, she actually called and manipulated, and asked Mrs. Sun to make trouble! She just doesn't want our family to have a good time! ”
Lin Xi said hatefully, and hurriedly looked at Liao Shuyi: "Grandma, how are you doing?" Did they run into you? Why don't you call me? I remember that Shen Yihui left you a phone number. ”
Liao Shuyi patted her granddaughter's hand soothingly: "It's okay, grandma is much better now, and she is not so easy to be angry, Comrade Chen also said that he can solve small things and not disturb your newlywed." Besides, there is Ah Qiu, you and Yihui returned to the army, and Ah Qiu came to accompany me at night. ”
"It's hard work."
Ah Qiu smiled: "Yo, Xiaoxi is polite to me." ”
Lin Xi frowned and said: "Mrs. Sun's gang is the best at messing around and confusing right and wrong, no matter what happens, as long as they are involved, no matter whether they are justified or not, they will be messed up." This is Wang Ying's insidiousness, she knows that she can't occupy my house, so she simply lets Mrs. Sun rob and make trouble, and then she can still get a good one from Mrs. Sun! ”
"That's what it looks like! Wang Ying, it's really bad! ”
Ah Qiu said: "Back then, not long after your mother and your father got married, your father was busy all day long, and he just came back from the war to aid Korea, you are still young, and your mother herself has to work, how can you have the energy to consider moving a large number of people from their Sun family to Haishi?" For such a big thing, all kinds of preparations are indispensable, housing, work, food and drink...... Even your father didn't dare to make a decision easily, and he never discussed it with your mother, but she Wang Ying dared to do it! She has a few dollars on her, which is all spent by your mother with a soft heart, and your father must have given it to her in private, so she used the money to pay for the journey, and brought the Sun family to the sea market, threw it at your parents, and left it alone! Your father can't get out of the army, so it can only be your grandfather and your mother to clean up this mess - it's a trivial matter to pack them with food, drink and clothing, and you have to listen to their chatter and complain, this is not satisfied with that is not satisfied, your grandfather and your mother finished their work in the unit every day, so they hurriedly contacted to buy a yard for placement, and spent money to find a relationship everywhere to settle down, arrange work, and children go to school, it was really anxious for a while! In the end, your mother didn't get a good word from the Sun family, but Wang Ying became the hero of the Sun family! Your grandmother loves her and likes her, saying that she has the best heart and the most virtuous, if it weren't for her, the Sun family would still have to stay in the countryside and not enjoy the blessings of the big city! Look, this is Wang Ying, she has a lot of eyes, her means are ruthless, she is shrewd, we are delicate and soft-hearted, where can we fight her? ”
Liao Shuyi followed Ah Qiu's words to recall that she missed her daughter back then, her eyes were red, and she grabbed Lin Xi's hand and said with tears: "Your mother is actually a little tempered, not so easy to bully, maybe she can't compare to Wang Yingyanye's temptation in your father's eyes, but her kindness and beauty, Wang Ying is far behind!" She is a little willful and proud, and never thinks that Wang Ying can affect the relationship between her and your father, which is a bit blindly confident, so that Wang Ying took the initiative to break it and put the facts in front of her, she couldn't accept it, and it was out of control...... That day, she was not only looking for you, but also because of pain, heartbreak, and ignorance, and all they saw said that the sky had changed and it was raining, and she ran out like that, without taking an umbrella, and finally disappeared by the river! Remember, good baby, learn your lesson...... Your life is the most precious thing! In this world, love and men are not everything, there are many more beautiful things worth having! ”
Lin Xi grabbed Liao Shuyi's arm and snuggled up to her: "Grandma, don't worry, I understand!" ”
Ah Qiu wiped her tears, saw that Xiaoxin Xiaolei had finished eating the rice balls, and then packed up the empty bowls and went into the kitchen to wash, Lin Xi went to take a thermos and poured some boiling water into the basin and wrung a hot towel, and Liao Shuyi helped the two little ones wipe their mouths and hands, the little brothers were not sticky when they were full, and they were moving the large and small chairs and stools in the house and mopping them around in a long line, and they were playing with the train in their mouths.
Lin Xi and Liao Shuyi sat by the brazier and watched them, while continuing to talk about Wang Ying's mother and daughter.
"Xiaoxi, Sun Bingyan was punished because he went to you and Yihui for trouble?"
"Not only that, she also beat a girl to the hospital, and she didn't admit her mistake, isn't this a violation of military discipline? The leader was angry, so he simply transferred her out of Haishi and went somewhere else! ”
"That's great! I want to thank that leader, I should do this, let her stay as far away from you as possible, and save her from doing bad things to you! ”
Lin Xi: "......"
In my heart, I felt that Guan Lao must not accept his grandmother's thanks, people were for Yu Xiaoqin, but they didn't care about her Lin Xi.
But she can't tell her grandmother about Yu Xiaoqin.
"Grandma, is Sun Bingyan my father's own?"
"It shouldn't be, your dad and Wang Ying have each said that the two of them were born in the same year, they parted at the age of sixteen, and they were in their twenties when they met again, and the girl Wang Ying took was more than two years old, saying that there was no big name, so let your father name him Sun Bingyan. At that time, your father had just come back from North Korea, and he was very rare for you, he didn't leave his hand as soon as he hugged him, and he and your mother were also happy to be reunited after a long absence, and he didn't care too much about Wang Ying's mother and daughter, so we didn't doubt that he and Wang Ying were once a couple. ”
"Childhood sweethearts who grew up together?"
"It's not like we grew up together, your aunt who works in the hospital is called Sun Qinglan, right? It was only because of your mother that she was admitted to the health school, and she once told us some things about her hometown: the Sun family is in a small town more than ten miles outside the county seat, and the Wang family is from the county seat. Sun Qingyong went to the county seat to study, first lived in the Wang family's house, and then moved into the school, Wang Ying was also in the same middle school, they met at that time, about thirteen or fourteen years old. Now that I think about it, Wang Ying is really scheming, she has brought the Sun family together, we can hardly hear any news about her from the Sun family, after Sun Qinglan said that, she never said anything else. ”
Lin Xi held her cheeks with one hand, and her eyes rolled: "It sounds like this Wang Ying is quite mysterious, does she have any secret secrets?" I'd love to know! ”
Liao Shuyi lovingly reached out and rubbed the soft little broken hair on her granddaughter's forehead, and said, "What secrets do you care about her?" Sun Bingyan wanted to embarrass you, but she was punished for causing trouble, and now Wang Ying doesn't know how much she hates you, but she must be guarded against! You can go back tomorrow, it is safer to live in the military area, and grandma can rest assured. ”
"Grandma, why are you driving me away? Shen Yihui is not at home, I want to celebrate the New Year with you, before the New Year, maybe we can still meet my grandfather. As for Wang Ying, she can't threaten me, now, it's time for me to hang and beat her! ”
"Oh, what are you going to do, you kid? You can't take any chances. Liao Shuyi was frightened by her granddaughter's words.
Lin Xi smiled and patted her on the back: "Grandma is not worried, what can I do?" Just kidding! ”
Of course it's not a joke, Wang Ying's poisonous snake has been committed to killing Lin Xi and completely destroying the Lin family, this is the endless rival, how can Lin Xi let her go?
If you want to do it, you must be evenly matched, otherwise you will only be abused and killed, Lin Xi didn't dare to move before, because Wang Ying is a public official, the wife of the division commander, and the quasi-in-law of the deputy mayor, and she still has a little power in her hands, and Lin Xi doesn't even have a backer, Wang Ying can casually find an excuse to announce her personal grudge to arrest Liao Shuyi, injure and disable Lin Sixian, and easily kick her out of the market, even if Lin Xi is hateful and angry, how can he not bear it?
Now that she also has the status of a military dependent, with the help of Shen Yihui, if she doesn't overturn Wang Ying, she doesn't have to live.
Now is the time! Taking advantage of the fact that Sun Bingyan was directly sent to the Northwest Military Region without delay, Sun Qingyong couldn't stop the order, and when Wang Ying lost her soul and cried and had no way, it must be the coolest to give a beating water dog-style counterattack!
As the saying goes, knowing oneself knows one's opponent, Lin Xi decided to learn about Wang Ying's past, why didn't she want people to know her past? Maybe there's a shady secret? What kind of secret is it? Really curious, let's start with this!
