Chapter 17
Lin Meilan suppressed her confused heart, turned to look at Lin Shu, and said, "Sister Shu, where have you been? I came here this afternoon and have been waiting for you here."
Lin Shu:...
What did you ask me to do?
She looked at Lin Meilan and felt that it was hard to describe.
But thinking that this person had provided her with a lot of information, and that she might bring her some news about Xizhou City and her brother, she thought it would be better to be patient with her.
"Sister Meilan, why did you come here today? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."
"I'm worried,"
Lin Meilan felt that Lin Shu had no hostility towards her, and she felt relieved.
After all, because of Zhou Chengzhi's matter, Lin Shu seemed to have been very repulsive to her grandmother and their family before going to the countryside. She smiled and said, "You suddenly went to the countryside, I was worried about you, I wanted to come and see if you were doing well. If it's convenient, I'll spend the New Year with you here, if it's not convenient, I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
She lowered her head to look at her hands, then raised them and said, "I brought you some New Year's goods, let's spend the New Year together."
She turned to look at Liang Jinxi and said, "Shushu, who is this soldier comrade?"
Lin Shu didn't want to introduce her.
She said "wait a moment" to her and turned to Liang Jinxi and said, "Brother Liang, thank you for sending me, my cousin is here..."
After thinking about it, she added carefully, "She's my great aunt's cousin."
Just on the way, she told him that her great aunt's family persuaded her mother to marry her to the man surnamed Zhou.
She had always called him "Captain Liang" before, but now she changed it to "Brother Liang". She said, "Brother Liang, you go back first. I'll go to Auntie's place tomorrow afternoon."
Liang Jinxi glanced at Lin Meilan. His eyes were obviously careless, but they made Lin Meilan startled and her heart beat fast.
She was startled because his eyes were like knives, which made people scared. Her heart beat fast because this man was too sexy. The sexiness of mighty power made people feel fluttery and their heartbeats accelerated.
She was about to say hello, but Liang Jinxi's eyes had already turned away and did not stay on her at all.
He looked at Lin Shu and said, "Let the tractor of the team take her to the commune early tomorrow morning, and then come to my house for breakfast. After breakfast, I will accompany you to the commune to make a phone call. There are many people who want to make phone calls at the county post office during the New Year. It may take several hours to queue up. EachPeople are also limited to talk for a few minutes. "
Lin Shu was startled, but this was obviously not the time to process this information. She didn't want to say "no" to him in front of Lin Meilan, so she said "um" obediently, "Okay, I'll go over tomorrow when I have breakfast."
Her voice was soft and her appearance was indescribably well-behaved.
Even though he knew she was pretending, Liang Jinxi had to admit that she was really cute.
She was well-behaved and cute.
Even Liang Jinxi, who hated people pretending to be with him, didn't feel the slightest bit of bad feelings.
It turned out that she was really good at pretending.
No wonder she dared to say that she was his "girlfriend".
He turned and left.
Lin Meilan kept watching Liang Jinxi's back as he left.
Lin Shu saw it, but she didn't interrupt her.
Until Liang Jinxi turned around and could no longer be seen, Lin Meilan turned around and took Lin Shu's hand affectionately, saying: "Sister Shu, this man is really good-looking. Is he a soldier in this village? Why are you together now? Could it be that he likes you? "
"I think he looks good, but it's a pity that he is from the countryside. Even if he joins the army, he can't change his background. He may not be able to get a good job after he is demobilized. The living habits are too different. Soldiers are stubborn and it's hard to get along with each other."
Lin Shu heard her say this, and another voice continued, "This man is really a top-notch man. I don't know what it feels like to be hugged and kissed by such a man, and to have sex with him... God, my heart beats faster just thinking about it... It's really an advantage to be good-looking, and you can attract men everywhere. Why didn't I wear it on her at the beginning? That way, I wouldn't have to endure the hard life now... Alas, such a man, just thinking about it makes me excited. Even if we can't be together in the future, it's okay to play with him for a while... But such a man might be terrible to dump. Ah, what am I worrying about? The point is, if she finds a man in the countryside, what should I do? ! "
Lin Shu: !!!!!!!
Lin Shu felt like she was struck by lightning!
What do you mean by being hugged and kissed by such a man and going to bed? What do you mean by playing for a while, but it might be terrible if you dump him?!
Several strange images flashed through Lin Shu's mind, and then he stopped abruptly!
Then he got angry!
Furious!
What kind of woman is this?!
Lin Shu gritted her teeth. If she didn't want to know how her brother was doing in Xizhou City, she really wanted to throw this woman out.
She took a deep breath and forced herself not to pull her hand back. She didn't want to tell her anything about Liang Jinxi. She just said in a trembling voice, "Cousin, have you seen my brother before you came here? "
I simply couldn't say the word "Sister Meilan".
Lin Meilan saw that Lin Shu didn't want to answer her, so she changed the subject directly, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
But she turned her head and saw that Lin Shu's face and ears were red, and he lowered his eyes and didn't want to look at her, looking extremely shy. She thought to herself, "Ah, shy, it seems that she really likes this man, then why did she marry Zhou Chengzhi later? Later, she was hacked to death by Zhou Chengzhi. Is it related to this man?"
"Cousin!"
Lin Shu interrupted Lin Meilan's horse racing thoughts loudly.
He used force, really wanted to strangle her to death.
Lin Meilan was frightened by Lin Shu's yelling and strangling, and quickly came back to her senses.
Oh, Lin Youfeng.
Seeing that Lin Shu was staring at her, she smiled and said, "Yes, I went to see Brother Youfeng before I came here, but Sister Shu, this matter can't be explained clearly in a while, and it's windy outside. Can we go to your dormitory to talk about it? "
Lin Shu shook off her hand and said, "Let's go."
Why did you suddenly lose your temper? And so much?
There was still some stinging in her hand. Lin Meilan looked down and saw that her hand was actually broken...
Lin Meilan was puzzled, but thinking back to the topic they just talked about, it was Lin Shu asking about her brother... It seems that she is really very worried about Lin Youfeng, right?
Lin Shu suppressed his disgust and took Lin Meilan back to the dormitory.
Lin Meilan drank a cup of hot water, ate a glutinous rice cake she brought with her, sat on the warm kang, and began to talk to Lin Shu about Xizhou City.
She knew that Lin Shu was worried about Lin Youfeng, so she didn't talk about anything else and showed her sincerity. Chenghe showed concern and said, "Shushu, the situation of Engineer Song and Teacher Yao's family is not very good. You know, they are both intellectuals with bad class backgrounds. My grandparents are worried that they will also be sent down to the countryside. They are also worried that someone outside will harm Brother Youfeng because of the Song family... You know, there are children with bad class backgrounds who have been beaten to death in school, so my grandparents told the Song family that they want to bring Brother Youfeng to live with us. Although our family conditions are not so good, there will definitely be no problem with his safety. When he goes out, Guibao and Fubao will accompany him. There will definitely be no ignorant people who will beat him up. "
Lin Shu's face changed and he lowered his head.
Uncle Song is the chief engineer of the Water Conservancy Architectural Design Institute. He is in charge of an important water conservancy project and is under special protection.
Although Aunt Yao is a teacher at the Agricultural College, she was born in a red expert family and is now doing agricultural research. She has been dealing with farmers and the Agricultural Bureau for a long time.
They are different from her father. They are technical and do not involve the issue of taking any road. The situation outside is much better now. Uncle Song and Aunt Yao were fine in the past two years. How could they be in trouble now?
Is it because of her and her brother's involvement that someone deliberately targeted them?
Lin Shu was thinking about this. Seeing that Lin Shu lowered his head and did not say anything, Lin Meilan reached out and held Lin Shu's hand, saying, "It's okay, Shu Shu, don't worry too much about this matter. With our family here, brother Youfeng will be fine..."
"Uncle Song and the others are important national technical talents under special protection. How could their family's situation be so bad? Is someone deliberately targeting them? Also, has anyone ever caused trouble for my brother?"
Lin Shu resisted and did not withdraw his hand from Lin Meilan's hand.
She didn't like any physical contact with Lin Meilan.
Now that she heard what she was thinking about Liang Jinxi... she was even more disgusted, bah!
But now I can only endure it.
Lin Meilan was stunned for a moment when she heard Lin Shu's words.
Are the Song family important talents under special protection?
Ah, does Zhou Chengzhi know about this?
However, Lin Meilan reacted quickly, shook her head, and said: "I don't know about this. Maybe even if there is protection from above, it won't be able to prevent someone from posting big-character posters and targeting younger brother Youfeng because of my uncle. Grandpa and grandma are also worried. It's reasonable. As long as Brother Youfeng lives in our house and Guibao Fubao and the others are around, no one will target him."
After finishing speaking, he paused, seemed to hesitate, and then said, "Shu Shu, I know you may be a little unhappy because grandma persuaded your aunt to let you marry Zhou Chengzhi. I'm sorry Shu Shu, grandma has old ideas and feels that the other party's family He has power and money, can give you a good life, and can help your family, but he fails to consider your feelings. Don't be like an old man."
Lin Shu just wanted to get important information, but he didn't want to hear her talk about it.
She pulled her hand away, but Lin Meilan held on to her tightly.
Lin Shu gritted his teeth.
This person is so annoying!
"Sister Meilan, are you here to persuade me to let my brother live in your house? But let me tell you, our family has nothing. Now, all the expenses for my brother's food, housing and schooling are provided by Aunt Yao and Uncle Song. , Go to your house, my aunt and grandma won't abuse my brother if I don't ask for the money?"
Lin Shu asked with a grimace.
Lin Meilan:...? ? ? What did she hear?
She looked at Lin Shu with an incomprehensible expression.
She has always felt that Lin Shu was spoiled and spoiled. He is stupid and has too much money... more or less. Anyway, he has a good family background, good looks, and was raised to be innocent and charming. When he has a good temper, he is very good. Losing your temper.
But with some coaxing, you can soften up again.
So even though her grandma said several times that Lin Shu did whatever she wanted, she still felt that her grandma was too stupid and had snobbery on her face, so she was ranked first by Lin Shu several times.
But as long as you talk to her properly, she has never lost her temper in front of her.
Lin Shu was caught off guard by Lin Meilan and withdrew her hand.
Lin Meilan reacted and said hurriedly: "Sister Shu, why do you think so? I know that our family's conditions are not very good. If brother Youfeng lives with us, he will definitely not have the same life as before, but in these special times, there is no way. And my grandma and the others have always lived a small bourgeois life with a cloth head and a needle and thread, so sometimes they seem to like petty gains... Yes, it is true that they are greedy for petty gains, but their hearts are good, at least for Fengfeng. The love is real."
She said and grabbed Lin Shu's hand again.
Lin Shu just wanted to throw it away, but she heard Lin Meilan scolding in her heart, "Damn old woman, how many times have I advised them to get along well with Li Huiru and her daughter, and don't offend them all just for some small gain, I They almost all said that Lin Zhaotong would come back sooner or later in the future. If you have offended everyone now, what will happen to you in the future? As a result, people are trying to guard you as much as they are guarding against crime, which makes me so passive. I am really stupid and incurable. It's terrible!"
Lin Shu:......
She still shook Lin Meilan's hand away.
Seeing that Lin Shu looked like this, Lin Meilan obviously didn't believe her, so she cursed in her heart, turned her head quickly, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Sister Shu, if you don't believe grandma, why don't we send brother Youfeng to his hometown?" ? My hometown is definitely the safest... If you are still worried, I will take brother Youfeng there, don't worry, I will take good care of him. "
After a pause, he said, "Speaking of which, our hometown is not far from here. It should take two or three hours by car. You can go and see Brother Youfeng when you have time. Hey, speaking of you educated youth's location, I don't know if we can change it." Once I change, wouldn't it be great if I could just go back to my hometown?"
"Oh, I forgot to ask you after talking so much. Sister Shu, are you used to being here? Is the work a lot and is it hard?"
"well enough."
Lin Shu automatically ignored her questions, stood up, turned around and pointed to the opposite side, and said, "Cousin, it's late tonight and you can't leave, so sleep on the kang opposite. Go and get it." After unloading the luggage above, I'll go to the kitchen to get some chaff to light up the fire. We'll go out together later to draw some straw and come back to make a bed for you. You can go to bed early tonight after running all day. We have to be on the road tomorrow morning. "
An educated youth dormitory has four earthen beds.
Lin Shu and Xu Juan are new arrivals. They are the only ones in this dormitory. There is a small table on one of the two earthen kangs outside, which is usually used for eating and reading. The one opposite is used for some sundries.
Lin Shu was talking about the kang opposite where debris was stored.
Lin Meilan looked at the Tukang opposite and was dumbfounded.
She turned her head and said, "Sister Shu, it's just for one night. I can sleep with you tonight to avoid having to deal with the trouble."
Although this dormitory is extremely simple, with dark earth walls, Lin Shu's bed is very warmly decorated, with pink floral sheets and quilts, plain cotton wallpaper and bed curtains, it is like a paradise in this earth house. It feels warm and comfortable just looking at it.What the hell is that earthen bed opposite?
"It's not a big deal. There are only two boxes on top. Just move them down."
"But, but there is no quilt."
"Sister Meilan, I'm not used to sleeping with others."
Lin Shu's expression became serious, and his tone left no room for negotiation. He said, "Don't worry, there are quilts and other things. They are distributed to the educated youth by the brigade. I have never used them. You can just use the earthen cloth on top as the bed sheet."
Pah!
Who wants to sleep with you!
When Lin Meilan thought of the images of her lusting after Liang Jinxi's body in her mind, Lin Shu felt sick!
Lin Meilan:...? ? ?
She stared at the gray earthen cloth on the earthen bed opposite, and she almost thought she was hallucinating.
The earthen cloth was rough and dirty, and it was full of miscellaneous items. Let her sleep on it tonight?
Lin Shu felt bad, and Lin Meilan felt bad too!
"Others, what about others? Can I squeeze in with them?"
Lin Meilan said with great difficulty, "I still have some food coupons and money on me, I'll give them food coupons or money."
"No!"
Lin Shu's tone was clearly unhappy!
She said, "Cousin, there is a ready-made kang, why do you have to sleep on someone else's? You know our kangs are all single-person, and the quilts are also single-person. In such a cold day, you squeeze in and let them catch a cold. What if they catch a cold? Cousin, I know the conditions here are not as good as those in the city, but since you have come here, the trouble has already been caused, but you should try to reduce the trouble you bring to others. It's just one night, so just make do with it! Tomorrow morning I will send you to the brigade to take a tractor to the commune, and then go back to the city."
After that, he walked out and said, "Let's go, let's go to the haystack and pull two bundles of grass."
Lin Meilan looked at Lin Shu's back and felt a throbbing in her temples.
Oh my God!
How can there be such a person in this world?
And she is unhappy, right?
Why is she unhappy?
I came from afar, in the heavy snow during the New Year to see her, and gave her gifts and warmth, and she was throwing a tantrum at her?
Damn, if you are not cannon fodder, then who is cannon fodder!
Lin Meilan took several deep breaths to swallow the urge to turn hostile and curse, then turned around silently, and followed Lin Shu out with a broken heart.
