Coming out of the two-story building, Lin Xianhe rode the Harley motorcycle that he found from the warehouse, probably the Harley motorcycle that Lin Jiafu bought to rush to the east of the county. The roads were potholes, cracked by heavy coal trucks.

There is a thrill of riding a high-end motorcycle on flat ground, but on this kind of road, you are being abused. Lin Xianhe didn't dare to sit down, his legs sandwiched the sides of the motorcycle seat, supporting his body. Thanks to her practice, her legs are strong and powerful, otherwise, she can only be upside down, this way to ride, the ass really has to be turned into eight petals.

Every day on every road in the county, whether it is asphalt or dirt road, there are a number of heavy trucks pulling coal from various coal mines, either directly to its destination or to a railway transport station 30 kilometers away.

This county is called Chengning County, in the southwest of Jin Province, belongs to Linhe City, crosses the Yellow River outside the county, and goes to the next province. It has a long history, the history recorded in books can be traced back to more than 2,000 years ago, from ancient times to the present, five or six names have been changed, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was officially renamed Chengning County, and the county seat has the same name.

Since the 80s, coal mining has been a pillar industry in the local area, and almost everyone in the county is engaged in coal-related industries.

Take Lin Jiafu as an example, his father is a miner, he has been working in the coal mine with his father since he was more than ten years old, and later got some wallets and trains to transport coal, and then contracted coal mines and coking plants, all of which are upstream, midstream and downstream industries.

Lin Xianhe's speed is not fast, firstly, it can reduce bumps, and secondly, it can take a look at the scenery in the county.

This is her hometown, but she is not familiar with it. Before the age of 8, she lived in a village twenty miles away from here, although it was not far from the county seat, but the number of visits to the county seat was very limited, after the age of 8, she left home, left Jin Province, and came back during the winter and summer vacations. Chengning County is the terminal of long-distance buses, every time I get off the bus, I am picked up by my family in the station, and I don't have time to watch this small county.

The sky is gray and foggy, and there is always a lingering smell of coke in the air, and only when you pass by the open-air kebab stall and smell the strong smell of burnt meat mixed with cumin, can you temporarily wash away that smell. On the street, from time to time, there are young people with their shoulders crooked, cigarettes in their mouths, and yellow, yellow, red and red hair, squatting or standing on the street, laughing and watching the passers-by.

When Lin Xianhe passed by, someone put his thumb and index finger in his mouth, blew out a loud slogan, and shouted: "Beauty, very sassy, come down and play together!" ”

Lin Xianhe turned his head and waved his fist in the direction of the sound, those young people were not afraid, but thought that they had a response, and immediately you pushed me and were about to chase after me, Lin Xianhe accelerated, and the Harley motorcycle sped away, and a large stream of soot-like exhaust sprayed on several young people.

Lin Xianhe laughed, and the laughter floated over the county through the roaring sound of the engine, causing people on both sides of the road to look over curiously. Lin Xianhe laughed happily, turned around and gestured thumbs down to the young people who were covering their mouths and coughing, so angry that the young people were about to chase after them.

This strange hometown is also alive because of this little episode.

Lin Xianhe's destination is the villa area in the east of the county, which is the most high-end community in the county, all of which are two- or three-story European-style villas, which are not large, but they concentrate more than 9 percent of the rich people in the county.

Passing through the dilapidated streets, when approaching the community, the road suddenly becomes smooth and clean, this is the self-built road of the community, in the season of mid to late October, the landscape trees on both sides of the road are lush and lush, carefully pruned into various graphics by the gardener, and there are still red, red, yellow and yellow flowers blooming on the side of the road, all of which are varieties that Lin Xianhe has never seen.

A team of uniformed security guards with electric batons passed by, and Lin Xianhe stopped, observed them for a while, and then swiped his card to enter the community.

Coal accidents occur frequently, and there is no uniform standard for compensation for injured miners or their families, and it is entirely up to the conscience of the mine owner. The conscience of the mine owners is too little or too small to reach an agreement with the miners or their families, and it can turn violent. It can be said that there is no mine owner of all sizes in Jin Province who has not encountered such an incident.

Take Lin Jiafu as an example, he is quite conscientious, attaches great importance to underground safety, since the mine, no worker has died because of going down the mine, but there are a few cases of injury, one of which is not satisfied with the compensation, tangled with relatives and friends and neighbors to come over to make trouble, feel that in the mine, the onlookers are all miners, and their influence is limited, so they inquired about the address of Lin Jiafu's hometown, and came to threaten, saying that if Lin Jiafu does not lose much money, they will live here forever and will not leave.

At that time, grandma Li Guangni was still living in her hometown, although her eldest son Lin Jiafu made a fortune and urged her to move to a better city many times, she didn't agree, but this group of people suddenly came to make a fuss, which scared Li Guangni and fainted on the spot, and finally decided to move after staying in the county hospital for two days.

At the beginning of the construction of this community, the target group was clear, so a lot of effort was made in terms of security, Lin Jiafu quickly bought a house here, and Li Guangni moved over with his second son Lin Jiagui and his family of three.

Lin Xianhe rang the doorbell.

Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed plainly, with an ordinary appearance, plain face, dry hair combed in a bun at the back of her head, and an apron tied open the door with a smile, "Nier, you're back, come in." Your grandmother has been talking about it since you left. ”

As he spoke, he diligently took the motorcycle key in Lin Xianhe's hand, and immediately ran over and took out a pair of women's leather-faced slippers from the shoe cabinet.

Being taken care of like this, Lin Xianhe was uncomfortable, she saw that the woman was still squatting down to help her change her shoes, so she hurriedly snatched the slippers first, and said, "Second aunt, you don't have to help me do this, I'm not a child who can't take care of myself." I've told you several times, but you don't listen, I'm really angry that you're like this! ”

The second aunt, Gao Fengying, hurriedly stood up, and smiled at Lin Xianhe with some flattery: "Okay, okay, I remember, I won't do this again in the future." ”

Lin Xianhe was helpless, and he couldn't even get angry at her.

She remembered that although Gao Fengying was also very good to her in the past, she was not groveling like now, but she didn't know when she started like this. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably after making money from the Lin family's rich bag of train cars and letting a large family live a good life, and then the second uncle was exposed to raising a woman outside, she didn't make any noise, and endured it silently, but after that, she was extremely respectful to the whole family, especially their father and daughter, as if she had positioned herself as a servant of the family.

Why the second aunt became what she is now, Lin Xianhe couldn't understand, but she faintly understood.

Grandma Li Guangni heard the voice and came out of the house.

This is a rural woman in her sixties, the dry wind from the northwest has left traces on her face, but she can still see that when she was young, she looked quite good, she was tall among women, her back was a little hunched, her finger joints were thick, and there were traces of hard work all year round, and her eyes were a little cloudy, but her spirit was very good.

The rough palm grabbed Lin Xianhe's hanging hand, and asked eagerly, "What's the matter, Nier, did your father give the money?" ”

Lin Xianhe smiled, patted his slender fingers on the back of his wrinkled hand, and said, "Give it, give it very happily." ”

Li Guangni immediately breathed a sigh of relief, folded her hands, and chanted towards the sky: "Chang Daxian bless, Chang Daxian bless!" ”

After Li Guangni thanked Daxian, the joy on her face had not faded, and she smiled like a chrysanthemum, she pulled Lin Xianhe into the house, and asked her to tell her about the situation just now, and said with emotion after listening: "It seems that your father still takes a fancy to you, so I am relieved, too, he can have today, our family can have today, you brought it." If you don't give you this money, you will be punished by God! ”

Lin Xianhe often heard similar words from Li Guangni's mouth, and she almost believed it herself.

The crane is a legendary bird that can bring auspiciousness to people.

On the day Lin Xianhe was born, Lin Jiafu had a dream, dreaming that a beautiful, white, identical to the pine crane that Li Guangni invited back from the market during the Chinese New Year flapped its huge wings, appeared in the clear blue sky, flew down from far and near, lower and lower, and after coming to the top of his roof, he suddenly accelerated and swooped down.

Lin Jiafu suddenly woke up from the dream, his ears were full of loud cries of babies, and he realized that he had just had a dream, and just as the crane swooped down, his female doll was born.

He didn't care about seeing the child, so he excitedly called Li Guangni out of the delivery room and told the dream. At that time, she believed in the Ma Xianpo in the next village who went to Baotou from the west exit, and then went to the northeast from Baotou, and later moved back from the northeast.

When Ma Xianpo came back, she also brought back the Baojiaxian, usually showing people incense, if she is willing to spend more money, she can also ask the Baojiaxian to come up, personally calculate, very accurate, Li Guangni treats her as a fairy, although the head of the family is not vulgar, she can send some food and vegetables for a long time, and she is very pious.

Li Guangni immediately wrapped some millet and eggs for her eldest daughter-in-law's confinement and went to the next village.

When I came back from the next village, I was full of spring breeze, walked with the wind, and said to Lin Jiafu: "Ma Xianpo said, Xiao Nier is the reincarnation of the crane in the sky, and it is the lucky star of our family, let us take care of it, and in the future, it can bring great wealth to our family!" ”

So, except for the old man of the Lin family, no one thinks that it is bad to give birth to a girl, and they have observed the places where this little baby is different from ordinary people, such as the voice is extraordinarily loud, the hands and feet are extraordinarily slender, etc., the more I look at it, the more I feel that this little doll is extraordinary, and it is the hope of the future of the whole family.

Lin Jiafu simply asked the little girl to call a "crane" directly.

Because of Lin Jiafu's dream, coupled with the impetus of Ma Xianpo, Lin Xianhe has a pivotal position in this family, and he has lived better than other female dolls in the village since he was a child, and later he was able to go to the provincial martial arts school in Henan Province, which is also related to this. After that, Lin Jiafu made a fortune, and Lin Xianhe's status became even more transcendent.

Li Guangni even attributed all of this to Lin Xianhe. Her ancestors have lived in the mountain village for generations, scavenging food from the soil, and have never enjoyed the taste of wealth, the biggest pursuit of life is just to eat enough and dress warmly, and occasionally eat some meat, but suddenly one day, no longer worry about money, but everything that can be seen, as long as she wants, she can afford to buy, this is not the ancestral tomb smoke, but the crane descends to earth.

The second aunt Gao Fengying came over with juice and a plate of walnuts and chestnuts, and interjected: "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to the cranes and the blessings of the uncle that I let Yiming live in such a good house and enjoy so many blessings, I can't dream of it!" ”

She said, put the juice in front of Lin Xianhe, and said, "I went to buy oranges for 2 yuan a catty, two per catty, and the person who bought the fruit said it was sweet." I heard that it is popular for young people to drink fruit juice when they study abroad, so I will make it for you. There are also these walnuts and chestnuts, all of which were planted by my mother's family, and I picked them and sent them over, and they were sent for many miles! ”

Lin Xianhe hurriedly stood up, took a false answer, and then sat down again, took a sip of the juice, and praised: "It's delicious." As he spoke, he picked up another walnut, held it in his hand, and pinched it lightly with his thumb and forefinger to crush the walnut, peeling off the broken shell to reveal the whole walnut flesh.

In the stunned eyes of Li Guangni and Gao Fengying, Lin Xianhe pinched out a whole walnut meat, handed one to Li Guangni, and one to Gao Fengying, and said to her: "Second aunt, you have worked hard, sit down and rest for a while." ”

"Alas, alas", Gao Fengying hurriedly took the walnut kernel, sat on the edge of the sofa, and said: "Our Nier is really good, her martial arts have not been practiced in vain all these years, Nier, your martial arts are quite high now, right?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay." Lin Xianhe pinched the walnuts one by one, and neatly arranged the pinched walnut kernels on the marble coffee table to hide his embarrassment.

Many people who don't know martial arts have been affected by TV dramas, and they all think that people who practice martial arts are like beautiful heroes and chivalrous women in martial arts TV series.

Including when I was a child, I also thought so, when I watched the movie "Shaolin Temple", how I envied the characters in it, and how much I hoped that I would be the same as them, whoever bullied me would beat him, and the road would be uneven, and the violence would be peaceful.

But when I really practiced martial arts, I realized that it was not like that at all, no matter how hard I practiced, no matter how clever my moves were, I couldn't get out of the category of science and gravity.

However, with Lin Xianhe's current level, in the absence of weapons on both sides, she has no problem fighting four or five big men who have no kung fu foundation by herself, she has great strength, height and long legs, strong strength in arms and legs, and good flexibility, which is very advantageous in battle.

Seeing that Lin Xianhe didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, Gao Fengying rubbed her hands on her knees a few times, peeked at Lin Xianhe, and saw that she was pinching chestnuts again, and there was no unhappy expression on her face, so she put her heart down, stood up, and asked, "Mom, Xianhe, what do you want to eat in a while?" I'll do it. ”

Li Guangni looked at Lin Xianhe, Lin Xianhe threw away the chestnut shell in his hand, rubbed off the chestnut skin stuck to his fingers, and replied, "Second aunt, don't bother, I can eat anything." ”

Gao Fengying's face immediately showed a slightly disappointed expression, and Lin Xianhe immediately changed his words and said: "I haven't eaten noodles for a long time, second aunt, you make mushroom stew, the taste you make is amazing, when I was in Yan City, sometimes I was quite hungry for this mouthful." ”

Gao Fengying immediately smiled, and hurriedly said: "I'll go, I'll go, Xianhe, don't you say anything if you want to eat, how uncomfortable it is if you want to eat, if you want to eat, come back from Yan City, it's not too far, put on a train ticket, and you will arrive directly." ”

Lin Xianhe: "I'm hungry next time, I will definitely get a train ticket back immediately." ”

Looking at Gao Fengying's back as if she had received a holy decree, Lin Xianhe felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't quite understand why, she turned her head to look at her grandmother Li Guangni.

Grandma had a smile on her face, and seemed to be very happy to see such a happy scene of a family, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Gao Fengying's performance, Lin Xianhe picked up a chestnut and put it in her mouth.

"It's so sweet, it's so sweet."

Li Guangni: "You love to eat, let your second aunt go back to her mother to get some more, and you can bring it back to the senior brothers, for so many years, thanks to them for taking care of you." ”

Lin Xianhe nodded, "You can't let the second aunt take it for nothing, let's spend money to buy it, don't let the family suffer." ”
