Zhang Gazi left Li Quanyou's house the day before after Lin Yun, and did not go back to the new house, but went to Tang Fugui's old house.

Zhang Laohan was sick and needed surgery, and the medical conditions in the town did not allow it, so he was transferred to the county people's hospital.

The cost of the operation is about 150 yuan.

Zhang Gazi came back in a hurry to talk to Tang Fugui's family about this, the most lacking thing was money, but Zhang Gazi couldn't open this mouth anyway, after the wheat harvest was over, it was autumn planting, because of Zhang Laohan's illness, he couldn't stay at home to help, he was guilty, where was he embarrassed to borrow money.

Besides, Tang Fugui's family has no money.

Tang Fugui and Shen Xia were also very worried when they heard about Zhang Laohan's condition, so Zhang Gazi didn't have to worry about the family's land, just take care of the old father, and let Lin Yun go over to take a look.

was pressed by Zhang Gazi, there are few people who can work at home, he left, and then pulled Lin Yun, isn't there a shortage of labor at home? !

Lin Wan thought for a while, "Abba and Auntie, in this way, let Gazi go over first, I will go to the town to do some errands, and take the county bus later to meet him." ”

Tang Fugui nodded, "That's it, no matter how you say it's Gazi's father, you can't say it if you don't go to visit." ”

Zhang Gazi didn't have time to ask Lin Yun what to do in the town, so he turned around and hurried away, his eldest brother and second brother went back to Zhangji Village to borrow money from relatives and neighbors, and there were only two illiterate sisters-in-law in the county people's hospital looking at Zhang Laohan, and he had to rush back as soon as possible.

……

Lin Wan walked to the town on two legs, half an hour away, she walked and ran, and it took twenty minutes to arrive.

The door of Fan Zhihong's small restaurant was open and open, Lin Yun was panting, she looked at it from a distance, no one was coming in or out, as if there was no business.

At this time, Fan Zhihong walked out of it, and Lin Yun saw her pulling her hands and wanting to lock the door.

Lin Yun hurriedly ran over, "Sister Hong, you want to go out?" ”

As soon as Fan Zhihong turned around, he found that it was Lin Yun, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he immediately raised his eyebrows, "Hey, I said that our sisters have a heart, I just wanted to close the door to find you, and you appeared, it's really good!" ”

Lin Wan asked: "You don't open the door for business in the daytime, you close the door to find me?" ”

Fan Zhihong reopened the door lock, "Don't mention it, come in, come in, say inside." ”

Lin Yun followed Fan Zhihong into the small restaurant, it was now lunch, and there were no guests at the small restaurant.

Lin Wan paced to the back kitchen again, but it was empty.

After thinking for a few seconds, a hint of clarity flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and then spoke: "Sister Hong, let's talk, what's the matter?" ”

Fan Zhihong made a cup of tea for Lin Yun and handed it to her, "Sister Xiaoyu, you have also seen the situation here, I am a straight person, I have something to say, I don't hide it from you, since you made that meal for me last time, those guests ate beautifully, and they went out of this door and went around to preach to me, now it's okay, old guests and new guests are coming, saying that they want to eat a so-called delicious meal that is rare in heaven and difficult to find on earth." ”

Lin Wan took a sip of tea, "And then?" ”

Fan Zhihong's voice became louder, "Then, then you know, my man's sister-in-law, a stupid bag, can't make the taste that the guests want, no, the guests are all lost!" ”

Lin Yun knows that this person's good food has been eaten once, and he will never forget it, and if he goes up, won't it be uncomfortable to let him come down again? !

Lin Wan remained silent, "So, Sister Hong has thought about it and wants me to be your cook?" ”

Fan Zhihong pulled Lin Yun's hands, and almost burst into tears, "Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Hong has never begged anyone, you must not refuse, otherwise my small restaurant will not be able to open, my eldest son is studying in the city secondary school, and the younger son is studying in high school in the county, all of which need to spend money, if my small restaurant is yellow, the family will have to drink the northwest wind!" ”

Lin Yun withdrew his hand from Fan Zhihong's hand and rubbed it, "Sister Hong, it's okay if you want me to be a cook, but I have one condition." ”

"Conditions? What conditions? According to what you said before, I will give you fifty yuan a month, sister, this is in our town, you go and inquire, this is already a sky-high cook, what conditions do you have to make?! Fan Zhihong said quickly.

Lin Wan made a dry smile in response, then stood up and walked directly outside.

Fan Zhihong suddenly felt bad, his face stiffened, and he took three steps and two steps to catch up and grab Lin Yun's arm, "Hey, I said sister, why are you so angry, you have to get it, what conditions do you say!" ”

Lin Yun glanced at Fan Zhihong, thought about it and sat back down: "Sister Hong, fifty yuan per month remains the same, you don't need to worry about this." ”

Fan Zhihong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Then, what else do you want?" ”

Lin Wan sighed secretly and spoke: "Advance my four months' salary first." ”

"What?!" Fan Zhihong was surprised.

"Sister Hong, I need a sum of money for emergencies, four months' salary is two hundred yuan, I know the amount is not small, it doesn't matter if you are inconvenient, I will find another way."

Fan Zhihong didn't speak for a while, two hundred yuan is enough for a family of five in the countryside for a year's living expenses, and it is more than enough.

But Lin Yun on the other side had a calm face, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, waiting for Fan Zhihong's answer, and he didn't look in a hurry.

To say yes or not to agree? Fan Zhihong was a little embarrassed, the business was not good for most of the month, and there was not much income, and after the summer vacation, the two sons had to pay tuition and living expenses, as well as the money for the next food in the store......

However, if she didn't leave Tang Xiaoyu this time, the business of this small restaurant would continue to be half-dead, and it was estimated that it would be closed in less than two months.

"Okay, my sister promised you that I would pay you four months' salary in advance."

Lin Yun seemed to have guessed that Fan Zhihong would say this, so he was not surprised at all, and said indifferently: "Sister Hong, thank you." I'll give you a note, and we'll pay the money with one hand and the other hand. Starting tomorrow, I'll be at work. ”

Still writing notes? Daintily! Fan Zhihong was not ambiguous, took out two hundred yuan from a locked cabinet on the counter and handed it to Lin Yun, "Sister Xiaoyu, I said okay, I will come to work tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Yun left Fan Zhihong's restaurant and went straight to the bus stop at the west end of Zhenzi Street, saying that it was a bus stop, but it was just a temporary stop, with neither a stop sign nor a seat.

The dilapidated bus that can barely be called a minibus, the ticket is two cents, Lin Wan didn't grab the position, and the iron pole is now at the back door.

There was someone in the car with a live rooster, his legs were tied, his wings fluttered and a few chicken feathers and dust, Lin Yun quickly changed his direction.

The speed of the bus is not fast, and it takes half an hour to reach the county seat.

Lin Wan went directly to the County People's Hospital.

……

At the same time, Chen Yuegui, accompanied by Li Yaohui, returned to Shuanggou Town.

According to the rules, the bride will return to the door three days later, but Chen Yuegui's father is seriously ill and needs to go back to the hospital to stay, so he made an exception, and the son-in-law and daughter returned to the door the next day after the marriage.

Chen's father's name is Chen Xiangwen, he has been the principal of an elementary school for 20 years, he is not angry and self-assured, even if he enters the end of his life, his majesty is still undiminished, Rao is not stingy like Li Yaohui, and he is a little afraid when he sees Chen Xiangwen.

Chen Xiangwen didn't know about Chen Yuegui's falling into the water yesterday. The inhabitants of this town were unanimous in silence, and although they had gossiped and gossiped in private, they were silent in front of the old man who was about to be laid to earth, not wanting to add trouble and worry to his last days.

On the day of Chen Yuegui's wedding, the doctor considered the patient's mood, so the hospital provided a paid nurse to accompany the old principal back to his home.

Early in the morning, Li Yaohui and Chen Yuegui entered the courtyard one after the other, and Li Yaohui respectfully shouted to Chen Xiangwen: "Abba." ”

Chen Xiangwen nodded, and then tried to open his eyes wide, looking at Chen Yuegui, as if he wanted to see something from the face of his beloved daughter, but Chen Yuegui covered it up well, "Abba, my daughter is back." "I can't stop the trills that are not easy to detect at the end.

Chen Xiangwen couldn't help the tears rolling down, and he was reluctant to let go of Chen Yuegui's hand.

Lunch was cooked by Chen Yuegui, as long as she thought that her father might never have the opportunity to eat her own food in the future, Chen Yuegui was worried for a while.

His lifelong happiness is his father's only concern now, but because of his stubbornness to marry Li Yaohui, this gamble itself has no chance of winning, and his father knows very well how sad it should be, Chen Yuegui feels that he is not filial.

Through the kitchen window, Chen Yuegui saw Li Yaohui sitting on a bamboo chair next to the patio to bask in the sun with his father, looking like a father and a son, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If his father is gone, he is afraid that he will never accompany her to do these superficial efforts again, and he can only rely on himself to grind the trivial things day by day in the future.

Four dishes and one soup, roast beef with potatoes, garlic eggplant, fried meat with chili peppers, scrambled eggs with chili, and an egg soup with tomatoes, among which the roast beef with potatoes is my father's favorite food, Chen Yuegui stewed softly, and the other two chili peppers with fried meat and eggs are specially made for Li Yaohui.

Before going out in the morning, she specially asked Li Yaohui's sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law said that Li Yaohui likes spicy food, and today's meal, his father and Li Yaohui seem to have good appetites, almost a CD.

The two men he loves most in his life can cook a favorite meal for them, and Chen Yuegui is very happy.

In the afternoon, the shredded sunlight fell on the floor of the courtyard through the grape trellises, and the family was so neat that Chen Yuegui almost forgot that one was her father who was seriously ill and was about to enter the earth, and the other was her husband who did not have her bed.

After the meal, Li Yaohui was dismissed by Chen Xiangwen under the pretext of asking him to go to the school office to get him a book.

Chen Yuegui followed Chen Xiangwen's command, and pushed her father into the bedroom with some doubts.

On the desk, there is a mahogany box.

Chen Xiangwen motioned for Chen Yuegui to open it with his eyes, and it was a yellowed birth certificate.

Name field on the birth certificate: Chen Biyun.

Chen Yuegui looked at her father in confusion, but saw her father tremblingly hand over a prepared note, and she took it.

Soon, he raised his head in shock from his father's distorted words, only to find that Chen Xiangwen was in tears.
