Chapter Ninety-Six
Except for Lin You and Xie Zijin at the dinner table, everyone else couldn't help laughing, and Lin You glanced at Xie Zijin and retorted weakly, "I'm not rhubarb." ”
Ye Wenwen filled her with a bowl of soup, sighed and said, "It's very easy to raise, but it can't stand the large amount of food." ”
Lin You blushed, and saw that his father poured another glass of wine and pushed it in front of Uncle Jiang, with a flash of loneliness in his eyes.
She had a gut feeling that there must be something her father hadn't told her, and she was about to get up and ask, but was stopped by Xie Zijin, who winked at her.
This meal, Lin You didn't eat as happily as usual. Although Dad is back, he has something he hasn't said. You don't have to guess anything, it's definitely not a good thing.
Xie Zijin pulled her into the courtyard to breathe, and sat under the tree to watch the moon through the gap in the leaves.
"Lin Xiaoyou, you look at the moon through the leaves, you can see the stars by squinting your eyes."
"I'm not that bored!" Lin You moved a small bench to sit beside him, and asked seriously, "Why did you stop me just now, I think my dad must have something to hide from us." ”
"Adults have plans for adults, and they don't want us to know it's for our good."
Lin You didn't care, "But shouldn't the family be blessed and share hardships?" And I'm eighteen years old, what can't I know? ”
Speaking of this, Lin You suddenly fell silent, widened his eyes and whispered, "I, my parents won't want a divorce, right?" I see a lot of news that adults are afraid of affecting their children's college entrance examinations, so they wait until after the college entrance examination to get divorced. ”
Sometimes Xie Zijin really doesn't know what adjectives to use to describe Lin You's IQ, and it's thanks to her that she can figure it out.
In order to stop her from thinking nonsense, Xie Zijin told her everything he knew.
"I accidentally heard Uncle Lin and Uncle Jiang talking today, Uncle Lin was discharged from the army because of this injury, and I felt uncomfortable."
Discharged.
These two words are too heavy for Lin Daodao, he has been in the army for more than ten years, how can he have no feelings. And for a soldier like him, being discharged from the army means "scrapped".
When Lin You heard that his father had retired from the army, he became happy.
"My mom often complained that my dad was busy and always didn't have time to spend time with her. I never wanted to go to a university in another city because I was afraid that after I left, my mother would be even more lonely. Now that my dad is out of the army, he can settle down and spend time with my mom. ”
Although she knew how much she thought of her father's identity as a soldier, this was something he was reluctant to let go of in his life.
Xie Zijin looked back at the two big men who were still drinking in the living room, and he didn't feel that this scene was hypocritical at all, but had a chic feeling that the hero wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
"Uncles and aunts love you very much, and they don't want to tell you so that you don't feel bad, which seems a bit redundant now. But you've been thinking about things for a long time, and I'm sure that's what they want to see. ”
As if he hadn't heard this, Lin You turned to ask Xie Zijin about something else.
"On page 56 of the math textbook, how do you solve the last big problem?"
"Huh?" Xie Zijin was a little confused, why did he talk about math problems while chatting well? It's too fast to change the subject.
"Xie Zijin, it's too tiring to be an excellent person, I'll accompany you."
Looking at Lin You's eyes that shimmered with a small light, Xie Zijin suddenly understood something.
It turned out that what he had never wanted to happen had finally arrived, but fortunately, his Lin Xiaoyou was ready to grow.
The next day, Uncle Jiang left early, and Lin You stood by the window on the second floor for a long time, and saw his father looking at the direction where the car disappeared, and rubbed his eyes unnaturally.
Sometimes, people seem so small and powerless in the face of reality.
She flipped through the English dictionary and listened to the clear and fluent English conversation on the radio, ticking off the grammar she was going to memorize today.
The bedside clock shows six o'clock sharp. At this time before, Lin You estimated that he was still fighting the landlord with Zhou Gong in his dreams.
"Lao Lin, do you think our girl is stunned?" Ye Wenwen listened to the movement upstairs, full of worry.
Lin Daodao also frowned, although he didn't know much about this daughter, there was no doubt that she was not such a diligent and hard-working person. What's going on today?
"Isn't it almost time for the college entrance examination? Are you stressing your child by setting goals? ”
"You don't know what Yoyo looks like!" Ye Wenwen glanced at him, shook his head again, and felt that something was not right, "What pressure can I put on her?" I never expected Yoyo to be a dragon and phoenix, she just had to be happy. ”
The two of them muttered two more sentences, but never came to a conclusion. Lin Daodao was indeed more strict with Lin You before, but since the last quarrel, he has seen a lot.
Anyway, Lin You suddenly knew that it was a good thing to work hard and study hard.
Ye Wenwen suddenly remembered something, took off the apron on his body and threw it to Lin Daodao, "I'll go out and buy some body supplements for Youyou, if she goes on like this, she will suffer a lot in this body, and when she grows her body, she can't delay." ”
As she spoke, she turned back and muttered: "No, there is still Zijin's child, smart children are brain-saving, the walnuts at home are estimated to be insufficient, I need to bring some money." ”
Lin Daodao sat in a wheelchair, looking at her dangling figure, he couldn't cry or laugh.
After Ye Wenwen went out, he was left sitting alone in the courtyard. This strange and familiar home, he has mixed feelings in his heart.
When did that mulberry tree in the yard disappear? Lin You's favorite swing in the past is gone; The window grilles that I pasted at home last time for the New Year are still there, but unfortunately they have been blown away by the wind, and only a few yellowed pieces of paper are left.
Rhubarb lay in the kennel under the tree, lazily licking his paws and drooping his head. He turned his wheelchair to get closer, and Rhubarb only raised his eyes without moving.
This dog has been raised for more than ten years, and according to the life span of the dog, it is now a very long-lived dog.
"Rhubarb, come on, come on!"
He reached out to tease it, but Rhubarb didn't move, just wagged his tail.
Lin Daodao sighed in his heart, it turned out that time really passed quickly, and he was not the only one who was getting old.
"If you're old, you'll be old, and then you'll have a swing for Yoyo when your legs are good." He muttered to himself, spinning his wheelchair around.
Lin You went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Dad, don't stick the swing, when your leg is healed, you can accompany me to climb the mountain." I heard from my classmates that in the spring, the peach blossoms on the mountain in the north are full of patches, which is beautiful! ”
Lin Daodao calculated the days in his heart, and his legs were almost the same at that time, and said with a smile: "Didn't your mother take you at home?" ”
"My mother? It's not that you don't know that every time you go out, you think about your home. Is the door closed? Are the windows closed? Is the gas stove turned off tightly? It's been a scary all the way. ”
"Hahaha! Your mother is like this, this is the Gu family, what do you know? ”
Lin You pretended to be angry, pursed his lips and said, "My mother is too family-oriented." Okay, I'm going to school, don't keep thinking about the swing, you can think about which university to apply to in a few months. ”
She got up and just walked out of the door, and Xie Zijin also happened to appear at the door. It's still the same sunny look.
"Uncle morning!"
"Zijin, come to pick you up again, go home for dinner in the evening, your aunt went out to buy vegetables."
"Hey! Good! ”
Xie Zijin agreed, without the slightest politeness. Lin You twisted his waist and said viciously: "Xie Zijin, don't you know how to be polite?" ”
The bicycle was stepped on so fast that Xie Zijin could ride this road with his eyes closed, and he could avoid all kinds of potholes along the way, so as not to complain about the people behind him.
"I said Lin Xiaoyou, have you forgotten about eating at my house for the first few days? Have you forgotten the bowls and bowls of sake-stuffed meatballs you've eaten? ”
"I ......" Lin You was speechless, so he could only take out the textbook from his bag and start studying seriously.
Lin You rarely has a time when he "can't fight back, and he doesn't scold back", Xie Zijin feels that this is not quite like her.
"Lin Xiaoyou, have you worked so hard now? How? Are you afraid that I will be admitted to another university and throw you into Lanxiang alone? ”
The person behind him still didn't answer, just concentrated on reading. Xie Zijin was bored, but he still refused to give up.
Because bickering on the way to school has become a necessary process for the two of them every day, today's unusually quiet makes Xie Zijin a little unaccustomed.
"You've worked so hard, you've figured out which university to go to, right? Tell me about it, and I'll help you with the staff. ”
Originally, it was an unintentional joke by Xie Zijin, but Lin You closed the book and said seriously: "I have thought about it." ”
"What!"
Xie Zijin braked suddenly, unable to believe it. "Lin Xiaoyou, you've thought it all through!? Which university? Why didn't you tell me? ”
Seeing Xie Zijin react so excitedly, Lin You suddenly felt a little guilty, she bit her lip, and said ruthlessly, "I can't tell you now." ”
"Why!" Xie Zijin knows Lin You too well, and she usually doesn't care, but once she decides something, it is the donkey temper that eats the scales and has an iron heart, and ten cows can't pull it back!
"No, you'll find out when the time comes."
Lin You turned her head and walked forward, she had no way to face Xie Zijin's questioning. That look is like a teammate who has been suddenly abandoned while walking, and it is.
The two of them obviously said yes, but Lin You suddenly turned around and even changed direction, which made Xie Zijin not angry.
Xie Zijin was stunned in place, caught off guard. He never thought that one day he would part ways with Lin You, or even Lin You's sudden decision without informing himself.
