Chapter 15

Auntie Hu and Liang Jinxi were still talking in the kitchen, but Lin Shu didn't hear the rest of the conversation.

But hearing him say "She is still young, let her mother take care of her herself, don't really say she is his wife" was enough to make her feel at ease.

She thought to herself that he really looked a little fierce, but like Auntie's family, they were all good people.

Then she should not let him down even more.

Lin Shu returned to the main room and sat at the table, drawing circles on the table with his fingers.

After waiting for a while, Liang Jinxi and Aunt Hu finally came out.

Liang Jinxi brought out a plate with a bowl of hot shredded pork noodles and a bowl of brown sugar eggs.

He put the plate on the table, and put the bowl of brown sugar eggs in front of Lin Shu under his mother's glare.

Lin Shu was not so afraid of him after hearing what he said in the kitchen, but he was still a little nervous and embarrassed, and whispered "thank you".

Aunt Hu said cheerfully: "Shushu, you should also eat something to warm your body. You just caught a cold before, and a girl should take good care of herself. Also, Auntie will cook a few more dishes tonight, and you can eat at home. After dinner, let Jinxi take you back to the Youth Institute."

Lin Shu reached out and held the spoon, and his nose was a little sour.

She sniffed, calmed down, and smiled, saying, "Auntie, please eat with me."

She stood up and went to the kitchen to get another bowl.

She often came to Liang's house to eat, and every time she came, she would bringSome things, or a piece of meat, or a piece of cloth, or a bag of snacks, so she would not reject Aunt Hu's enthusiasm too much, because she knew that it was someone's intention.

Lin Shu took the bowl and was about to share the eggs in his bowl.

Liang Jinxi had already picked up the eggs in his bowl with chopsticks and put them in the clean bowl, saying: "No need to share, eat."

After that, he lowered his head and ate his own bowl of noodles.

Aunt Hu looked at the interaction between her son and Lin Shu, her face and heart were happy, and she said: "Okay, okay."

But Aunt Hu didn't really eat, she went to the kitchen.

Only Liang Jinxi was left in the main room eating noodles, and Lin Shu was slowly drinking brown sugar water with a spoon.

At first glance, this scene was quite warm, but in fact, the whole air was full of awkwardness.

Of course, this might just be Lin Shu's personal feeling.

At this moment, Liang Jinxi had become normal, and directly treated Lin Shu as air, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all.

*****

When Aunt Liang, Liang Donghe and her two granddaughters Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu entered the Liang family's gate, they saw Liang Jinxi and Lin Shu eating inside and paused. They thought they had entered the wrong door, but they soon realized it and shouted in surprise, saying, "Jinxi, you're back!"

Lin Shu's hand was wrong and she looked towards the door.

At this moment, several people had entered the door and walked to the table in two or three steps.

Although Lin Shu was not familiar with the people who came, she recognized them all.

Last time, Liang Donghe apologized to her and explained about Gao Xiaolian's matter.

But what did the Gao family do with Liang Donghe?

She vaguely heard that because of her, Liang Donghe was beaten by her mother-in-law several times in the Gao family.

Because of this, Aunt Liang never liked her very much.

"Second Aunt."

"Jinxi, you're back?"

A scent of mushroom stew filled the air. Second Aunt Liang quickly glanced at the bowls in front of Liang Jinxi and Lin Shu, and pushed the two girls forward, saying, "Zhenzhen, Zhuzhu, call uncle."

Alas, I came here in a hurry, why didn't I bring my two grandchildren with me.

"Uncle."

"Uncle."

Zhenzhen pulled Zhuzhu and called out one after the other.

One voice was steady, and the other voice was childish and a little timid.

The same thing was that the two girls' eyes were red, and there was an obvious slap mark on Zhenzhen's face.

Liang Jinxi's face suddenly darkened.

Lin Shu sighed inwardly.

It was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow would be New Year's Eve. Liang Donghe was like this, taking her two daughters back to her parents' home, and Second Aunt Liang brought them to Aunt Hu's home. It must be that something happened in the Gao family again.

Lin Shu had a good impression of Liang Donghe.

Because no matter how much the Gao family and her husband disliked Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu, Liang Donghe loved them very much.

It is said that Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu have another name in the Gao family, one is Xiangdi and the other is Zhaodi, but Liang Donghe does not like it, and insisted on writing their names as Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu when registering their household registration.

The family is in a very bad situation in the Gao family.

But no matter when Lin Shu sees these two little girls, their clothes and hair are neat and tidy. Even if the clothes on their bodies are worn out, the patches on them will never let you know that it is a patch. It may be a flower or a butterfly, which is very beautiful.

This touched Lin Shu's heart.

Perhaps because of her own life experience, she always has some pity for little girls like Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu.

Since she was a child, she often heard gossip from others, saying that the reason why she was thrown into the snow by her biological parents must be because she was a girl.

No matter in the city or the countryside, if you can't afford to raise too many girls, you have to throw them away.

Because she was a girl, her parents' relatives kept persuading them that even if they wanted to adopt, they should adopt a boy with blood relationship, why adopt a girl?

Anyway, she looked as if she had stolen something that belonged to them.

And as soon as her father let go, those people rushed over and took turns persuading her mother to marry her to Zhou Chengzhi, otherwise she would be ungrateful and ungrateful...

Anyway, because she was a girl, she was not worthy of having anything good, and it was reasonable for her to sacrifice herself.

Aunt Liang was talking to Liang Jinxi here, and Aunt Hu in the kitchen heard the movement in the main hall and lifted the curtain to come over.

Lin Shu had already stood up and called the two little girls to come in front of him and share the poached eggs for them... She had just drunk some brown sugar water, and the eggs were not touched at all.

Liang Donghe hurriedly declined. Although the two little girls looked at the poached eggs with shining eyes and pursed their lips, they shook their heads following their mother's meaning.

Aunt Hu sighed, pulled the two forward, and said lovingly: "Go and eat, thank you Aunt Shushu."

The two turned to look at Liang Donghe, Liang Donghe nodded, and they happily responded, saying "thank you" in unison.

But...

The more stable voice said "thank you Aunt Shushu", and the other soft voice said "thank you little aunt"...

Lin Shu shook the hand holding the little girl Zhuzhu, and her ears were hot. She didn't dare to look at Liang Jinxi's reaction, but hurriedly whispered to Zhuzhu: "It's Aunt Shushu."

Zhuzhu blinked, but she was always well-behaved. Seeing Lin Shu say that, she changed her words softly and said: "Thank you Aunt Shushu."

But even though she changed her words, Lin Shu didn't feel better, because she felt everyone's laughter, and her ears felt even hotter.

As for Liang Jinxi, Liang Jinxi didn't react at all.

No, he just glanced at Lin Shu, then pushed the other bowl with eggs over and said, "One for each of you."

Zhenzhen looked at the bowl pushed in front of her, but turned to look at Liang Donghe and Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu smiled and said, "Eat it, your uncle gave it to you. After you finish eating, there will be noodle soup. Grandma will serve you some."

Zhenzhen opened her mouth and whispered, "Grandma, I want to share it with my mother."

Her mother didn't eat anything all day.

Aunt Hu was stunned, reached out and touched her head, and said, "You eat first. Didn't I tell you that there is noodle soup in the pot? Grandma will take your mother to cook meat noodle soup later."

Aunt Liang swallowed her saliva when she heard it from behind.

At this moment, she regretted not bringing her two grandchildren with her.

Although the eldest sister-in-law has always been stingy with their family, she treats Donghe and the two granddaughters as well as her own children, but she treats the two nephews and several legitimate nephews and grandchildren much worse.

I don't know if it is because of this that Donghe can't give birth to a son...

At this moment, Aunt Hu touched the slap mark on Zhenzhen's face again and said, "Donghe, what's wrong with Zhenzhen's face?"

Liang Donghe pursed her lips when she heard Aunt Hu's question, but didn't say anything.

Lin Shu hurriedly walked out from behind the table.

From the looks of the two little girls, she knew that they might have suffered a lot of grievances in the Gao family again. Aunt Liang brought them to the Liang family, maybe to ask Aunt Hu and others for support.

However, in front of her, an outsider, they must have some things to say.

So after she walked out, she said to Aunt Hu: "Aunt, it's getting late. Aunt Er and Sister Donghe are here again. I'll go back first."

Aunt Hu frowned.

She originally wanted to keep Lin Shu here for dinner.

Lin Shu hurriedly said, "Auntie, I will come over tomorrow afternoon to cook a reunion dinner with you. Don't dislike me."

Auntie Hu nodded and turned to Liang Jinxi and said, "Jinxi, take Shushu back to the Youth Institute."

Then she added, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Shushu has been busy these days. At most, she just walked around the commune. Jinxi, why don't you take Shushu to the county tomorrow to see if there is anything to buy. Also, during the New Year, take Shushu to the commune or the county post office to call home."

Telephones are rare these days, but Auntie Hu heard Lin Shu say that she would borrow a phone from the commune to call home, so she said so.

Lin Shu was stunned when she heard this.

Her mother had gone to Gannan a month ago, so of course there was no phone to call there.

But she wanted to make a phone call, to the Song family, to her younger brother Fengfeng.

But let Liang Jinxi take her back to the Youth Institute and go shopping with her in the county? !

She hurriedly declined, saying, "No need, Auntie, it's still early now, I can go back by myself. Deputy Liang... Captain Liang just came back. He traveled for a day or two in the heavy snow. Let's rest at home."

She didn't dare to say "Brother Liang" as usual.

At this time, she didn't care about how she looked in the eyes of Aunt Liang and Liang Donghe. She didn't look like Liang Jinxi's "girlfriend"...

Aunt Hu snorted and said, "Even if he's tired, he should send you off. Besides, I'm talking to his Aunt and Donghe, why is he standing here?"

After saying that, she glared at her son.

Liang Jinxi must be in a bad mood at the moment.

He didn't care how nervous Lin Shu was. He said "Let's go" and turned around and went to the door.

Lin Shu took a deep breath.

She could already feel Aunt Liang's eyes constantly scanning her and Liang Jinxi.

He had no choice but to follow him out the door.

The two of them walked out of the yard one after the other. Liang Jinxi stopped at the gate and waited for Lin Shu to walk over. He turned around and asked, "Which direction is the Youth Hostel?"

He remembered that two years ago, their brigade had just assigned the first batch of educated youths, only four or five people, and they lived directly in the brigade. Now that there is a Youth Hostel, he didn't know where it was.

Lin Shu stretched out his hand and pointed to the right, saying, "It's at the west end of the village. However, Captain Liang, I really can go back by myself. I just saw that Sister Donghe seems to have something to do. You should go back first. You don't have to accompany me to the county tomorrow. I have made an appointment with several educated youths in the Youth Hostel to go to the county together."

Liang Jinxi glanced at her, and then said, "Am I not your partner?"

Indifferent, slapping tone.

Lin Shu was stunned.

I just wondered if he had hallucinations.
