Chapter 24 The Acacia Courtyard
Lan Yi took out his household registration and road credentials, handed them to Zhao Lizheng, and confirmed his identity.
After Zhao Lizheng looked at the household registration, he knew that Lin Shan was no longer there, and his face was pale. Wang Linshan is also the child he watched grow up, he was full of spirit when he left, but when he came back, there was only a handful of loess left, but fortunately, Lin Shan had married a wife and had children, and left incense for Brother Wang.
"If it's really Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, Lin Shan will go no matter what he says...... This is Lin Shan's child...... It's all so big. Good boy, I am your Uncle Zhao, and I watched Wenshan, this child grew up. Yes...... Let's hurry into the house, don't bask in the children here. Zhao Lizheng's words were intermittent, and it seemed that the relationship with Wang Linshan should be very good, so he would be shocked by this news.
Lan Yi couldn't bear it in her heart, and tightly held the baby who was still sleeping in her arms, and said apologetically: "Uncle Zhao, let's not go in." There are still elders in Lin Shan's family, I will take the children back to say goodbye first, and then come to visit you. ”
In front of a courtyard surrounded by a fence with a group, Zhao Lizheng said directly through the fence: "Second brother, are you in the house?" ”
Zhao Lizheng's voice was not small, the baby in Lan Yi's arms opened his eyes with fluttering eyelashes, and was woken up, Chuncao hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child and went to the side to pee for him. Lan Yi glanced at the small courtyard of the farmhouse's fence, compared to Zhao Lizheng and Yu'er's house, it was obviously dilapidated, but the yard was cleaned up neatly, and the fashionable vegetables were planted on the edge of the fence, which looked vibrant.
"Yes, yes." As he spoke, an old man in a short coat came out of the house. He walked over to Chaimen and was a little surprised to see Lan Yi and his party, "This is?" ”
"This is Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, who came back with her children to find relatives. Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, this is Lin Shan's second uncle. ”
Lan Yi stepped forward to greet the old man, and when Second Uncle Wang heard that it was Lin Shan's daughter-in-law and child, he immediately smiled and responded again and again. The group entered the courtyard in a mighty way, and a few more people came out of the house.
The old woman at the beginning, clothed in wooden hairpins, is very neat. A man in his twenties, dressed as a farmer, with an honest face, behind him was a young woman holding a three or four-year-old girl, and a boy of six or seven years old was pulling the woman's clothes and hiding behind her, revealing half of his face and looking at it, his eyes full of curiosity.
Second Uncle Wang let a group of people into the hall. Lan Yi saw simple wooden tables and chairs in the hall, and peasant miscellaneous items piled up in the corner. Second Uncle Wang invited Zhao Lizheng to sit in the middle, and Zhao Lizheng shook his head and explained his intention to them.
Lan Yi stepped forward to greet Wang Linshan's second aunt again, and the young man next to him took the woman and child to give Lan Yi a gift, this young couple was Wang Linxi and Chen, the eldest sons of Wang's second uncle, and the two around them were their children.
After some recognition, Lan Yi told the story with a sad face. Of course, Lan Yi spoke very simply, trying not to go into details, only saying that she fell from the mountain on the way and forgot a lot of things.
Lan Yi felt empty in her heart, after all, these are Wang Linshan's real relatives, they are familiar with Wang Linshan, and the more they talk, the more loopholes they have. After Lan Yi finished speaking, everyone went from surprise to sadness, and she couldn't react for a while, and she hugged the baby who had woken up vertically, "This is our child, who has just turned one year old, and Lin Shan named him Yixuan." ”
Second Aunt Wang Li took the baby, hugged it and cried, the young woman next to her also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and Second Uncle Wang and the young man also looked sad and sad.
"Lin Shan was fine when he walked in front, why don't you say it's gone? How can I have the face to meet my big brother! After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he couldn't hold back anymore, and the old tears remained.
Lan Yi stood in the room, self-blame, weak-hearted, sad and other feelings mixed, and secretly thought in her heart: "Wang Linshan, I didn't mean to deceive your relatives, if you know under the spring, don't blame us." ”
Liuzi, Chuncao, Yu'er, and the coachman did not enter the courtyard, and the sad voice came out of the house, not only them, but also the crowd around them who came to see the excitement began to whisper.
Zhao Li wiped his tears, coughed and said: "Second brother, Lin Shan has gone, Lin Shan's daughter-in-law is back with the child, we can't be lazy, is Lin Yuan's yard lived, you see?" ”
It is said that this kind of matter belongs to the Wang family's family affairs, and Zhao Lizheng should not ask about it. But Zhao Lizheng took the handwritten letter from Master Mi, and saw that Lan Yi and his party needed to be resettled, and Lin Shan's yard was still there, so it was also appropriate for Lin Shan's daughter-in-law to bring the child over.
Second Uncle Wang wiped his tears and saw Lin Shan's daughter-in-law standing in the house mournfully, Fang felt that this was not the time to cry.
"Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, Lin Shan left the key for me when he left, at the end of the previous year, your third brother Lin Yuan couldn't live in this yard, so they temporarily moved in to live in the west house of the main house, so I will go and ask him to pack up and move back." Here, the main house sits on the north and faces south, the hall house is in the middle, and the east and west sides are inhabited, and the east house is respected. After Lin Yuan got married, he borrowed the West House and put all Lin Shan's things in the East House where his parents lived when they were alive.
"Second uncle, I can have a room with my child, and the third brother and younger siblings still live there." Second Uncle Wang opened his mouth and asked Wang Linyuan to make room for them, Lan Yi hurriedly stepped forward to refuse, in her opinion, she would drive Wang Linshan's real relatives out of the house when she came, and there was always a bit of a dove's nest. Second Uncle Wang's courtyard in her eyes, three main rooms and two east wings, now these six people have lived, plus Lin Yuan and the two can't live in it.
The second uncle shook his head, and the second aunt Li Shi saw Lan Yi's sincere attitude, and her heart was also two points more comfortable, and after taking out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and blowing her nose, she said in a hoarse voice: "Lin Shan's family, your third brother and younger siblings lived in the past for a few days, and we were planning to build a house for them, so we can move here and work together." ”
Zhao Lizheng also nodded, "Your second uncle has prepared wood and stones to build a house, so it's okay to arrange like this." "After all, Lan Yi has children and orphans and widows, and Lin Yuan's cousin lives with them, so it's good to move out now.
Second Uncle Wang responded: "This is what should be shared, Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, don't say more." I'll take you over to see, Lin Xi, you go find a cart, damn, you get some food at home, and the children should be hungry all the way back. ”
After the second uncle Wang finished speaking, he took the baby and went out, Lan Yi said goodbye to the second aunt and the Chen family came out with him, this family is simple and kind, so that she likes it from the bottom of her heart and wants to be close.
When he got out, he saw the excitement all around, and Zhao Li was glaring at him: "What's the noise!" The fields are all alive? ”
"This is Lin Shan's daughter-in-law and child, who have returned to their hometown. Once you've settled down, please come over and recognize it. It's really inconvenient today. Second Uncle Wang had red eyes and explained to his neighbors heavily.
The people in the village were a little timid when they saw that Zhao Lizheng's face was not good, and the second uncle gave this step again, and they naturally dispersed.
Wang Linshan's house is closer to the edge of the village than Second Uncle Wang's, not far away, Lan Yi held the child and followed the second uncle without getting into the carriage, and the sixth son also led the horse to follow.
Second Uncle Wang walked to a courtyard surrounded by stone walls, and directly pushed open the wooden door to take everyone in. This courtyard is also three main houses and two east wings, but the courtyard is nearly twice as large as the second uncle's house. There is a distance of about fifty or sixty meters from the gate to the main house, the whole yard is about forty meters wide, and there is a well under the tall locust tree on the west side of the main house, and there is a large vegetable garden in the south of the well, and there are also a lot of fashionable vegetables. The entire courtyard is surrounded by neat stone walls, which are strong and sturdy. Lan Yi only glanced around and liked this courtyard very much.
"Father-in-law, you're here. This is......? A large group of people entered the courtyard and walked to the center, only to come out of the main room a young and handsome woman, dressed in fancy clothes, holding a one-year-old girl, she was stunned when she saw this large group of people coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Uncle Wang.
"This is your sister-in-law. What about Lin Yuan? Second Uncle Wang kept walking and led Lan Yi to the main room.
"Sister-in-law? Brother Lin Shan's daughter-in-law? Wang Linyuan's wife, Liu, looked at Lan Yi and asked, her face a little nervous. Lan Yi nodded at her, "Yes, third brother and sister." ”
"Huh? Oh! My sister-in-law came back and hurried in to sit. Liu glanced at the six sons and others behind Lan Yi, and walked into the house with the child in his arms, looking more like the owner of this house.
