CHAPTER XXXVI

"Brother Pillar!"

Turning around, not far away, a man wearing a cotton jacket pushing a cart was smiling at himself, this is Wang Dazhu, the son of Gao Damiang.

Wang Dazhu is eight years older than Lin Yan, and he is almost thirty years old this year. Since childhood, Mrs. Gao's family has treated Lin Yan like her own children, Wang Dazhu, as the eldest brother, takes care of and loves this little sister, when she went to the northwest, it was Brother Zhu who sent her on the train, he was still a teenager at the time, and now he is the father of two children.

"I look at the back like, it's really a swallow, you haven't been here for a few days, why don't you go in?"

Wang Dazhu said with a smile, and put down the board car in his hand by the gate of the compound, and the board car was pulling a cart of honeycomb coal.

"I just arrived, and I haven't had time to go in, but I happened to meet you at the door." Lin Yan said with a smile, looked at the board car and asked curiously: "Brother Zhuzi, there is no coal at home?" How to pull so much? ”

"Then what can we, how can our family use so much." Wang Dazhu picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat: "Most of this is from Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Pan in the front yard, the old man is not in good health, and the children at home are also busy, anyway, I will bring them back by the way today." ”

"Brother Zhuzi, I'll help you." Seeing that Wang Dazhu began to unload the honeycomb coal from the car, Lin Yan rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward.

"Don't, don't, you're a girl wearing like this, and you're still a college student, isn't it a waste to do this? I've been doing this work for a long time, don't interfere, I'll finish it in a while. Yanzi, you go into the courtyard, my mother has been thinking about you for the past two days, she must be happy when you come. ”

Lin Yan looked at her clothes and smiled embarrassedly, it is true that she is not suitable for this job today, this honeycomb coal is very dirty, and I am afraid that this dress will be wasted if she survives this trip.

After saying hello to Wang Dazhu, Lin Yan went into the courtyard, and after entering the hospital, Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Pan, who lived in the front yard, had already come out when they heard the sound, and they were very happy to see Lin Yan, who had not come for a long time, and pulled Lin Yan to nag a few words in the front yard.

After saying a few words, Lin Yan went to the backyard, and the tall lady was even happier to see Lin Yan, in her eyes, Lin Yan was no different from her little daughter, she was the child she watched grow up.

Holding Lin Yan's hand, Aunt Gao asked Lin Yan how she was doing these days, whether she was tired from studying at school, and looked at her as if she was a little thin, was she too tired to study and eat less?

Speaking of this, Aunt Gao patted her thigh and got up, saying that she wanted to get some delicious food for Lin Yan today, and Lin Yan felt warm in her heart when she heard it.

Lin Yan's lunch was eaten at Mrs. Gao's, although it was just a simple meal, Lin Yan felt that it was more suitable for her appetite than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

After eating, she took the initiative to help Mrs. Gao wash the dishes and chopsticks, and talked to her in the house, seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Yan got up and said goodbye, Mrs. Gao asked Wang Dazhu to send Lin Yan out, Lin Yan said goodbye to Mrs. Gao, and said that she would come to see her in a few days.

walked out of the miscellaneous courtyard and arrived outside the courtyard gate, Lin Yan asked Wang Dazhu not to send it, anyway, the road was not far, she went out to take the bus and could go back to school in a while.

"That's okay, Yanzi, be careful on the road, watch the road!"

"Brother Zhuzi, go back, I'll come back in a few days."

Wang Dazhu smiled and nodded to Lin Yan, and was waving goodbye when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called Lin Yan.

"I almost forgot, there is a letter from you in the house, I originally thought that I would send you home in the next two days, just for you, save me another trip."

"Letter?"

Hearing this word, Lin Yan didn't know what was going on, and her heart suddenly thumped, and when Wang Dazhu returned to the house and took the letter and handed it to her, Lin Yan couldn't wait to look at the envelope.

When she saw the extremely familiar handwriting on the envelope, Lin Yan's whole person was instantly surrounded by a huge sense of happiness, she couldn't help but shake it, and Wang Dazhu on the side hurriedly supported Lin Yan and hurriedly asked Lin Yan what was wrong.

"It's okay, Brother Zhuzi, I'm fine."

At this moment, Lin Yan's heart was full of the shadow of Song Yuanchao, and she even wanted to open the letter immediately to see the contents inside, but reason made Lin Yanqiang hold back this thought, she carefully put the letter in her pocket, and said to Wang Dazhu with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhuzi, this letter is very important to me, thank you so much!" ”

"Does it matter? Whose letter did you get this? Wang Dazhu scratched his head, his expression was a little puzzled: "I see that this letter is from Huhai, and I also sent one before, I sent it to your home, didn't you receive it?" ”

This sentence made Lin Yan slightly stunned, but she quickly calmed down, pretended to be nothing, and smiled: "I received it, my mother collected it on her behalf, right?" She brought me a message, I haven't been home these days and I haven't had time to see it. Brother Zhuzi, thank you, I'll go first. ”

"Haole, Yanzi, be careful on the road, remember to watch the road!"

"Don't worry, goodbye, Brother Zhuzi."

"Goodbye!"

Leaving the courtyard gate quickly, Lin Yan turned around and walked towards the outside of the alley, but after taking a few steps, the tears on her face fell uncontrollably.

Song Yuanchao didn't forget himself, he sent a letter, he still remembered himself, and he missed each other as deeply as himself.

Lin Yan felt a burst of incomparable happiness, she wanted to laugh out loud, and at the same time wanted to find a place to cry happily, so that all the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time were released.

Wang Dazhu inadvertently told Lin Yan that Song Yuanchao had actually sent two letters, but Lin Yan did not receive the previous letter, and the smart Lin Yan had already thought of what was going on, if she guessed correctly, the previous letter was secretly hidden by her mother.

Although she hadn't read the letter yet, Lin Yan already knew from the address that Song Yuanchao had returned to Shanghai, perhaps for this reason, the letter she sent to the northwest was not received by Song Yuanchao, who had returned to the city, so Song Yuanchao sent the letter to Mrs. Gao according to the address he gave him when he left, and the letter from Song Yuanchao, who returned to Shanghai, fell into the hands of her mother by mistake.

If it weren't for Lin Yan's temporary intention to visit Aunt Gao today, then the fate of this letter can be imagined.

In the eyes of her mother, the current Lin Yan is no longer the ugly duckling she was back then, her parents' work status has been restored, Lin Yan is a student at Beijing Normal University, her family conditions and her own conditions are far beyond ordinary people, such a daughter is not an ordinary educated youth who can be worthy of it at all, maybe her mother thinks that her future son-in-law is only qualified by a promising young man like Zhao Minglei.

It is precisely because of this that her mother secretly withheld the letter that Song Yuanchao gave her without telling herself, and secretly supported Zhao Minglei in her pursuit of herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan's heart was extremely sour, she couldn't understand her mother's thoughts, and even wanted to go home immediately and ask her mother why she did this. But reason made Lin Yan gradually calm down, she didn't go home, and at the same time made a decision not to mention it to her mother for the time being.

On the bus back to school, Lin Yan opened the letter and sat on the bus to read it slowly.

Song Yuanchao wrote a lot in the letter, in addition to his thoughts and concern for Lin Yan, Song Yuanchao also asked if he had received the letter last time, and whether he couldn't reply to him for a while because he was busy with school? But it doesn't matter, as long as Lin Yan has a good life in Beijing, Song Yuanchao only hopes that Lin Yan can be well, happy and happy, he will always look forward to this, and wish Lin Yan all the best.

At the end of the letter, the careful Lin Yan found a faint trace on the letterhead, she was slightly stunned at first, and soon understood what this trace was.

If she guessed correctly, this is the trace of Song Yuanchao's tears when he wrote this letter after they dried up, when she thought of Song Yuanchao looking forward to her information in the distant Shanghai Sea, but she couldn't reply to the letter for various reasons, Lin Yan couldn't suppress the feelings in her heart, held the letter tightly to her chest, felt the breath of Song Yuanchao on the letter, and two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks silently.
