Lin Tong was stunned for a moment, she didn't want to support the elderly, what she said meant that in addition to the elderly, it was like a character like He Zhuzhu.

He misunderstood.

In fact, it's no wonder that Xu Zhenhua misunderstood, Lin Tong's words gave him this feeling!

Lin Tong smiled, "I know, I didn't say that I don't support the elderly, I just said, in case you have any sisters and sisters, don't live with them in the future, don't let them get involved in our lives." ”

She didn't know how to think of this inexplicably.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenhua's face changed when he heard her words.

Fortunately, it was dark, and she didn't see it, just walked forward silently.

Xu Zhenhua looked at her back blankly, not knowing whether to tell her about the original incident.

Lin Tong also felt that his words were a little strange, knowing that he only had two younger brothers.

On the way back, Xu Zhenhua struggled for a long time and said, "Actually, Lin Tong, our family is not just our brothers. ”

Lin Tong looked at him stunned.

Xu Zhenhua continued: "The old people in the village know about this, but your second sister-in-law's family also moved later, and she may not know it when she was young." It's not a good thing, no one mentioned it for a long time, and everyone forgot about it. ”

He paused and said, "Actually, I still have a sister. ”..

Lin Tong said "ha", he still has a sister?

I haven't heard of it, she thought of a possibility in a blink of an eye, the survival rate of children in the past was not high, could it be that this sister was gone when she was young?

Xu Zhenhua didn't know that the little daughter-in-law's brain was open at this moment, he sighed, stopped, and his thoughts seemed to fly to twenty years ago.

It was snowing heavily, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen, under the cover of him who was only eleven years old, ran into town with the twenty dollars he had stolen in her arms

Since then, he hasn't seen his eldest sister.

When he came home and was beaten by his parents, his mother said to him viciously: "It doesn't matter if she runs away, and you!" ”

He shuddered at the thought of this!

He hadn't thought about it in years.

He didn't dare to think about it, he didn't know if his sister was still alive.

Lin Tong looked at him silently, he was full of sadness, which made people want to get close to him and comfort him.

Xu Zhenhua suddenly sighed, threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and strode forward, "Let's go!" ”

I didn't mention my sister again.

Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief and was a little lost at the same time.

It seems that he does not have her in his heart as he says!

She thought to herself, laughing at herself.

And Xu Zhenhua thought to himself, it has been 20 years, people don't know whether they are alive or dead, and saying anything can only increase sadness, so don't mention it.

That's how misunderstandings often arise.

Xu Zhenhua didn't know why Lin Tong had reverted to his previous indifference.

Obviously, the two of them have been very close these days.

Could it be that Chang Yulan's experience made her feel in her heart?

Or does he refuse her words that can't just their words and make her sad?

Xu Zhenhua didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only be more considerate and do this and that for her.

But Lin Tong, the more intimate he is, the more awkward he becomes.

He Jun didn't come at night, it was Chang Yulan who came.

She told the two very calmly that He Jun went back to send her sister-in-law, "I want to send it, but he won't let me, for fear that I will be scolded by my mother-in-law." ”

Lin Tong asked her in surprise if she was ready to stay?

Chang Yulan said: "I don't know what will happen in the future." But I thought about it, I can go to work during the day, there are a lot of workers in the capital, as long as I am willing to work and not starve to death. I would like to wait for a follow-up visit in three months before deciding whether to leave or stay in the future. ”

However, in this case, it is not suitable for her to stay in a hotel.

She pleaded, "I want you to help me find a house, and I will live alone, it doesn't matter if it's small or far, as long as it's cheap." ”

When Xu Zhenhua heard this, she thought of the house she went to see first, which met her requirements. But the location is also a good location, it can't be too cheap.

Chang Yulan wants to rent a cheap one, if there are people living outside, it is estimated that she can live under the bridge cave.

"Sister-in-law, go and take a look, you live alone, cheap is one thing, and you have to be safe. Otherwise, can your Lao He rest assured? ”

Chang Yulan thought for a while, "You're right, I can't hold him back, safety is also very important." Will you accompany me to see the house tomorrow? ”

Lin Tong agreed.

The next day, Xu Zhenhua accompanied the two to see the house.

Chang Yulan asked the price, in this room, there is no kitchen, the big guys are cooking outside, and the coal stove is rising in the house when it is cold.

Ten dollars a month.

Not cheap.

But Chang Yulan still gritted her teeth and rented it. Because there are beds and tables inside, as well as two broken quilts, and an aluminum pot that people don't want.

Now she doesn't even have to buy furniture, which saves a lot of money.

She moved in the same day.

Lin Tong gave her a bed of cotton and cotton cloth that she needed freshly, but Chang Yulan pushed it around with a red face and refused to accept it.

This bed of quilts is several pounds of cotton, and cotton cloth is worth several dollars.

I owe so much favor, how can I receive such a big gift.

Lin Tong persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't be polite to me, we are all military dependents, it is not easy to be away from home, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”

The broken quilt that others don't want, it's okay to wash it and spread it under the bed, but if it is covered on the body, Lin Tong can't stand it when he thinks about it.

Chang Yulan doesn't care, as long as she can save money.

Chang Yulan tried it, the pot worked, she scrubbed it clean and boiled the water with it.

Lin Tong said something to Xu Zhenhua, and Xu Zhenhua left after a while, leaving only Lin Tong to help her clean up together.

When Xu Zhenhua came back, he held two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, two plates and two cups in his hands.

"Sister-in-law, you use it first, if you don't have anything to do, I'll take it away, and you have to spend money to buy it."

Chang Yulan's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked: "Thank you, Xiaolin" No amount of thanks can express her feelings.

"Needless to say, sister-in-law, live a good life, don't let your in-laws look down on you." Lin Tong held her hand for a long time and said this.

Xu Zhenhua was speechless when he heard it, you said that you women are careless, what is this related to your in-laws?

Lin Tong lowered his head, it had only been a few days, and Chang Yulan's hands were as rough as an old bark.

"Sister-in-law, how much money can you earn a day moving bricks?"

Chang Yulan said happily: "There is a lot of work on the construction site, I can do it to move bricks and ashes, and sometimes I can earn three or four yuan a day, that is, at least one or two yuan of income." ”

Earn more, so tired.

There is income because you pay more.

"If it weren't for the fact that I earned more, my family wouldn't have agreed to let me stay."

It is not easy to live in the capital.

Ordinary people can't stand this suffering.

Chang Yulan was born in the countryside, and later married to the county seat, and she has done all kinds of work, at home, and outside odd jobs, and can endure hardships, a typical working woman.

"Sister-in-law, do you know how to cook pasta?"

Lin Tong thought to herself that if she came forward and partnered with her to do some small business, she could also help her, and she could also earn money, killing two birds with one stone.

However, thinking of the previous partnership with Zhang Guilian, she was still a little hesitant.

Good intentions do bad things, and she doesn't want to go through it again.

So when Chang Yulan said that her pasta was very good, she flinched and said casually: "Why don't you steam some pasta and sell it, sister-in-law?" ”

"No, no, no." Chang Yulan shook her hand when she heard this, "Who doesn't know how to do that steamed dry food, how can anyone buy it and eat it!" ”

Also, not in the current era.

The people's money bags are still dissatisfied.

Lin Tong decided to shut up and stop making up his mind.

Xu Zhenhua listened thoughtfully on the side, he somewhat understood Lin Tong's concerns, and cherished her even more in his heart.

Giving but not getting something in return, although I didn't think about it when I gave it, but the white-eyed wolf was very hurtful.

Their relationship with He Jun's family has not yet reached the point where she can put aside these concerns and plan for her wholeheartedly.

At present, the help they have given to He Jun and his wife is actually not small.

Xu Zhenhua said lightly: "Sister-in-law is doing it slowly, pay attention to your body, don't take medicine here, you don't want to make money with your body here, it's not good to put the cart before the horse." ”

Chang Yulan nodded again and again when she listened, "That's what my Lao He said." I can still do it now, I really can't do it, I'll just go find a lighter job, even if I earn less! ”

Chang Yulan didn't leave them to eat, "When my Lao He comes back, I will invite you to come to the house for dinner." It's so shabby now, I'm embarrassed. ”

Lin Tong smiled: "You're welcome, what please, wait until you make a lot of money in the future and then invite us to dinner." ”

"What's the matter, I haven't made a lot of money in my life, so I won't invite you to dinner for the rest of my life? It's just a homely meal, I'm not as good as the dishes you made, so don't dislike it when the time comes. ”

When it comes to this, it's not good to shirk it again.

Anyway, it was also said in the future, so Lin Tong agreed with a smile.

In the afternoon, Xu Zhenhua bought mutton, stewed meat, and discussed with Lin Tong, "I see that my sister-in-law has no money in her hand after paying the rent, so I'll go over and send her some food!" ”

Lin Tong nodded, "Take a few more potatoes and radishes, these things are cheap, and my sister-in-law doesn't have any burden to keep them." "If it's too expensive, she won't take it.

Xu Zhenhua packed some stewed meat, and brought a few potatoes, a radish and a cabbage.

When he came back, his face was very bad, and Lin Tong asked him, "What's wrong, let people cook it?" ”

Xu Zhenhua couldn't understand this joke, and said in a deep voice: "My sister-in-law may have no money at all, I saw her drinking porridge, and the porridge was so thin that I could see a figure." She looked at me and quickly closed the lid of the pot, probably afraid that I would look at it. ”

Xu Zhenhua was in a bad mood, "I put her things down and came back, I didn't dare to ask." ”

Lin Tong was silent for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law may be embarrassed to borrow money from us, so don't know, anyway, she will be able to earn money when she goes to work tomorrow." She can last a few days with the food you take. ”

Xu Zhenhua sighed, "That's the only way." He said and looked at her seriously, "Xiaotong, if my daughter-in-law is like this, I will definitely have to give myself a few big mouths." ”

Since the accident, he has been reflecting from time to time, for fear of wronging Lin Tong, this is not the first time he has said this kind of thing, Lin Tong is used to it.
