Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang also set off to return to Dongshi on the same day.

It rained for two days in a row. The day before yesterday, seeing that the flood was about to cross the embankment, everyone was ready to go to the brigade on the east side of the embankment to pick up their relatives and go up the mountain.

The loudspeakers of the brigade announced that the downstream floodgates were opened, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the villages on the east side of the embankment also escaped.

After the weather cleared, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang took their children with their luggage, crossed the knee-high water on the river beach, and got on the ferry.

"Alas!" Wu Shufen sighed, "Finally got on the boat." ”

Li Xiangyang put down the little beans and helped a few people put down the luggage they were carrying against the ferry engine room.

Lin Lan wiped the soaked stool on the side of the boat with a handkerchief, and looked at Lao Li and Wu Shufen: "Dad, Mom, you sit down and wipe your feet and put your shoes on." ”

Wu Shufen nodded: "Okay!" A few of the soldiers also wiped their shoes and put them on. ”

After a few people put on their shoes, there were fewer and fewer people on the boat, and the ferry slowly headed towards the opposite side.

Xiaodouzi snuggled in Lin Lan's arms and looked at the river beach that was originally full of wild flowers: "Mom, the grass and flowers are gone, will the water flow away?" Do florets still grow? ”

Lin Lan kissed him: "Yes, when the water recedes, small flowers and grass will grow." ”

Xiaodouzi looked up at her: "Mom, will we still go to live in Shilian in the future?" ”

Li Xiangyang rubbed his head: "Do you still want to go back to Shilian to live?" ”

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Yes, Shi Lian is fun." ”

Lin Lan smiled: "I want to come and wait for you to have a holiday, and we will come again." ”

"Okay."

When the ferry reached the opposite side, several people led the children across the gangplank, went ashore, and walked towards the bus station.

It was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to Dongshi, Wu Shufen and Lin Changyou returned to Lexing, and Lin Lan's family returned to Yucai Road.

I didn't stay home for a few days, and after cleaning up, Lao Li and Xiaodouzi went to sleep.

Li Xiangyang hugged Lin Lan: "Wife, I'll go to Limin Road to have a look, you can also go to sleep, don't do dinner, let's go to the restaurant." ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, let's come over at six o'clock." ”

Li Xiangyang looked at her, couldn't help but clasp the back of her head, leaned over and kissed her soft lips, took a heavy sip, and saw that her face instantly turned red: "I miss you." ”

Lin Lan blushed and pushed him, and said coquettishly: "The curtain is still open." ”

Li Xiangyang looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "It's okay to close the curtains, right?" ”

Lin Lan gave him a blank look: "you!" Hurry up to the shop and take a look at the business money and save it. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiangyang kissed her before letting go, and left with the satchel.

Lin Lan put the changed clothes in a basin, went downstairs to put away Xiaodouzi and Lao Li's clothes, went to the washboard in the back garden to turn on the faucet, put half a pool of water and began to wash clothes.

Brushed the yellow mud on her trouser legs and shoes, and was about to wash it, when she suddenly heard the old lady's shout, she hurriedly dropped the brush and ran to the front yard gate, and saw the old lady standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Lin Lan greeted her and said with a smile: "Uncle, you're here!" She glanced at the old lady and felt that there was something wrong with her mental state, could it be that something was wrong at home?

The old lady looked at her and smiled: "I saw that the courtyard door of your house was open, and I thought that you were back, so come and have a look." ”

Lin Lan: "I just came back, I'm doing laundry!" Go to the backyard and sit for a while. ”

"Okay." The old lady followed her to the back garden, "Xiuyun said that the Minjiang River is flooded, is the water rising?" ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Great, fortunately, the downstream flood was discharged, otherwise the embankment would be gone." ”

The old lady clasped her hands together: "God bless, God bless......"

Lin Lan dragged a chair for her to sit down: "Uncle, I brought a lot of mushrooms back, you can take them back and stew soup to drink." ”

The old lady sat down: "I'm not welcome if there is something delicious." Are there many mushrooms in the mountains? ”

Lin Lan said with a smile: "I went once, and after looking for a long time, I found a dead tree full of mushrooms, and I picked up some fungus and came back." ”

"It's okay to go for a walk." The old lady sighed, and said with red circles in her eyes, "The day after you left, Xie Tian cut his wrists, and I heard that blood was flowing everywhere, and the back of the bedding was soaked. ”

"Ahh Lin Lan looked at her in surprise for a while before she came back to her senses: "Why?" I heard that she found a partner? She remembered that Dandan had a fight with Xie Tian's target last time.

How can there be such a selfish person alive? Did she consider Dandan's feelings when she did this?

The old lady sighed and shook her head: "I don't know, she went to the Public Security Bureau to find Dingbang once and said some strange things to him." Dingbang was impatient to listen to her, so he used the excuse of attendance and drove her away. ”

She let out a long sigh, "As soon as I went to the office the next day, I received a call from Xie Tian's unit, and I knew that I had cut my wrist and left." Two letters were also left, one for the state and one for her parents. ”

"Xie Tian's parents received the phone call and rushed over on the same day, and they didn't blame Dingbang after reading the letter, they sent her to the crematorium to be burned the next day, and returned to Yun Province with Xie Tian's ashes yesterday."

"I don't know what Xie Tian's letter to Dingbang wrote, Dingbang has been blaming himself for the past few days, saying that he shouldn't have driven her away, he should have listened to her. I feel distressed when I look at it, Xiaoman is still pregnant with a child, and it is not good for her and Dandan if he continues like this. ”

She felt that Xie Tian was too selfish, and she wanted to go to Dongshi to make people uneasy.

I never think about others in doing things, and I don't want to think about how hard it hit Dandan when she died like this. and Dingbang, who finally had his own life, and Xiaoman also had a child, and she didn't even let him die.

Lin Lan didn't know how to persuade the old lady, and when she finished speaking, she patted her hand: "Later, I'll let Xiang Yang go to him for a drink and persuade him." ”

The old lady nodded: "That's what I came to you for." You don't know, you are gone, Dongzi also went to the provincial city to study, Dingbang is alone, and he has words in his stomach, so let Xiangyang talk to him and spit out his depression. ”

"Hmm!" Lin Lan looked at her, "What about Dandan?" ”

"At home!" The old lady looked at Lin Lan, "I'm most worried about Dandan." Since Xie Tian's accident, Dandan is like a different person, he doesn't like to talk and doesn't eat well. Xiaohai of Xiuyun's family came to look for him, but he ignored others, stayed in the attic every day, and didn't go out to play with children. ”

Lin Lan was also very worried after hearing this: "When the beans get up, I will ask him to find Dandan to come downstairs and eat with us." ”

"Good!" The old lady looked at Lin Lan gratefully, "I've been looking forward to you coming back for a long time, I wish Douzi would come back to him and call him down from upstairs." ”

Lin Lan looked at the old lady: "Uncle, you also have to relax, Dingbang and them will be fine for a few days." Look at you, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it looks like your spirit is much worse. ”

The old lady showed a bitter smile: "There's no way, it's just worrying about my life." ”
