Chapter 19

"I think Donghe and the two children are really pitiful. I'm afraid they won't have a quiet time with my second brother and his wife, and they can't sleep well at night. So I told Donghe to bring the two children over for dinner and sleep here at night. "Then let her live here with the child first." Liang said, "Since the Gao family has that intention, they will definitely come to pick him up tomorrow when they know Jinxi is back. Let's see what they say." "That's the only way." said Aunt Hu. At night, Aunt Hu kept talking to Liang Jinxi, saying, "It's thanks to Shushu this time. If it weren't for Shushu, I almost agreed to let you meet Gao Xiaolian. Bah, not to mention Gao Xiaolian, just look at the Gao family's style. Her parents are not good people! "

She got angry when she thought of Tian Qiuhong repeatedly making things difficult for Lin Shu and spreading rumors outside.

Maybe she was venting her anger on him. She used to think Gao Xiaolian was pretty good, but now she looks at her and doesn't have too many problems.

She grew up in the countryside and did farm work when she was young, but now she is said to not do any work at home. Although she is polite when she meets people, her posture and eyes can't deceive people. She clearly looks down on farmers. Although this is not wrong, most people are like this, but with the comparison, Aunt Hu likes Lin Shu more.

Anyway, Aunt Hu thinks that character can be seen in small things. It's not just because she treats you well now that this person is good.

Liang Jinxi didn't feel any sympathy for his mother when he heard her muttering. He sneered and said, "I told you not to worry about my marriage. Besides, mom, do you think I will go to see you if you ask me to? What have I heard from you before? "

Auntie Hu: ...

She picked up the feather duster on the table and hit her son twice, saying, "It's the same. I thought you would be better after not going home for two years."

She sighed again, saying, "Donghe was such a good child before. Alas, it's okay now. I still know what's wrong with my life. But why is my life so miserable?"

When she sighed, the smile on Liang Jinxi's face disappeared.

His expression became gloomy.

*****

Early in the morning of the next day, no, it was still midnight for Lin Meilan. At four o'clock in the morning, she was woken up by Lin Shu and asked to put on her clothes and go to the brigade to ride the tractor.

No matter how uncomfortable the earthen kang was, it was warm now.

Lin Meilan refused to get up and said in a daze, "It's not even dawn yet. Why are you doing this so early? "

"It's late, we have to get up now," Lin Shu's voice was mixed with the cold wind outside, and it was indifferent, saying, "Cousin, today is New Year's Eve. The tractor to the commune in the morning is only available at five o'clock. If you miss it, you don't know what time it will be. What's more, the tickets from the commune to the county and from the county to Xizhou City must be very tight today. Do you want to stay at any station to spend the night of New Year's Eve?" Lin Meilan finally woke up completely. She sat up and said, "Shushu, I will stay here for the New Year, if you think it's not appropriate for me to go to your relatives, I will spend it with the educated youth and I will export grain myself." I couldn't call "Sister Shu" anymore. "No," Lin Shu said the same thing, "Cousin, transportation in the countryside is not convenient. If you don't leave today, you won't have a car until at least the third day of the New Year. Where will you live here and what will you eat? I don't have much work to do, and I don't have much food to eat. I can't afford to support you. I have other tasks to do these days, so I can't take care of you. You staying here will only hinder me. Or,"

Facing Lin Meilan's almost broken expression, she said word by word, not with sarcasm or ridicule, but with a very serious expression, "Or, cousin, you came here this time to take advantage of others and accept others' instructions to do something to me?"

LinMeilan: ...

She really felt like she was going crazy.

"Shushu, I came to see you on purpose. How could you say such a thing?"

She started to cry.

She was not sad, but aggrieved, angry, and for her current situation.

She was actually squeezed like this by a cannon fodder in the book.

"Cousin, our relationship is not that good."

Lin Shu said coldly, "You'd better leave quickly. There is no use for you to stay here."

Lin Meilan was unwilling to give up, but was still taken away by Lin Shu.

Lin Shu sent her to the brigade and came back.

Xu Juan was eating the thousand-layer pastry brought by Lin Meilan. While eating, she asked Lin Shu, "Shushu, what's the matter with your cousin?"

She heard the conversation between Lin Shu and her cousin in the morning. Lin Shu was such a good-tempered person, but he made her say such words and her face was so dark. It can be imagined that her cousin must have done something immoral!

Xu Juan favors Lin Shu without limit.

"But today is New Year's Eve, she may not be able to return to Xizhou smoothly."

If it were so easy to go back, they would have gone back to celebrate the New Year.

After Lin Shu sent the person away, he felt much better after some fresh air. He said with a smile, "Well, she is the granddaughter of my father's uncle's family. Before my father was sent down to the countryside, he subsidized them with food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons and other coupons every month. But as soon as my father was sent down, his family planned to marry me to the son of my cousin, the director of the steel plant. Otherwise, why do you think she came to see me during the New Year?"

Xu Juan was stunned at first, then threw the thousand-layer pastry in her hand onto the table with a "pop" sound, and said, "Pooh", "How disgusting! How can you be so shameless?! You sent her away in a nice way. If you had said so earlier, I would have beaten her away with a big stick!"

Lin Shu glanced at the thousand-layer pastry that fell on the table, reached out to pick it up, put it in Xu Juan's bowl, and said with a smile, "Don't waste food."

Although she didn't eat it herself!

As for whether Lin Meilan could return to Xizhou smoothly, she didn't care!

*****

Lin Shu sent Lin Meilan away and went back to the Youth Corps, where he said a few words to Xu Juan and climbed onto the kang again.

Xu Juan said, "Oh my!" and said, "Why are you still sleeping? Aren't we going to the county today?"

Lin Shu then remembered that because of Lin Meilan's interruption, she hadn't had time to tell Xu Juan that she would not go to the county tomorrow.

She said, "I heard from Lin Meilan that her family wanted to take my brother to their home. I wanted to go to the commune to make a phone call and then I won't go to the county with you. Anyway, there's nothing to buy."

Xu Juan felt a little sorry, but she could understand Lin Shu. She comforted her and asked her if she needed help to bring anything, then she left with the other Youth Corps.

Lin Shu slept until the sun came out, then got up and took out flour and two eggs from the cupboard, fried several egg pancakes, put them in an enamel pot, and took the snacks that Lin Meilan brought yesterday to Liang's house.

It was the time when the Liang family was preparing to have breakfast. Liang Donghe, who slept at the Liang family last night with Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu, was also there now.

Yesterday, Liang Jinxi sent Lin Shu back to the Youth Institute. They talked for a while on the way, and the two of them got along more naturally.

But because of what Lin Meilan said in her heart, Lin Shu couldn't face him now... When he saw him, he thought of what Lin Meilan said. What should he do?

Lin Shu blushed when she saw him, and quickly avoided him. She took out the egg pancakes and snacks, greeted the children, and said to Father Liang and Aunt Hu: "Uncle Liang, Aunt, you try this snack. A relative brought it yesterday. I wonder if Aunt knows that my grandmother likes this jujube cake and can make it. I learned it when I was a child. If Aunt likes it, I will buy some jujubes when I go to the commune or return to Xizhou City and make a jujube for Aunt. In fact, red dates are also OK, but the taste is still a little different."

At this time, Shitou had taken the jujube cake from Lin Shu's hand, but he was reluctant to eat it in large mouthfuls. He took a small bite, then licked his lips and said: "Aunt Lin, I like it."

Lin Shu laughed happily.

Aunt Hu slapped Shitou's head, turned around and said to Lin Shu: "You have relatives coming? Why didn't you bring them home? Where are they now?"

"Leave,"

Lin Shu stuffed another piece of dessert into the shy Zhuzhu's hand, touched her little head, and then turned around and said to Aunt Hu, "She has to rush home for the New Year. Aunt, let me tell you, she is not very smart. She thinks it's too tiring to work in a textile factory. She said she wants to go to the countryside for re-education, but she is afraid that the conditions in the countryside are too poor, so she came to see first. She originally said she wanted to stay for the New Year, but she couldn't stand it after staying for one night, so she went back to the city like a ghost. She is so weird, probably because she has never suffered."

Lin Shu made up a story without any psychological burden.

It's not a lie, it's all true.

Everyone's eyes popped out when they heard Lin Shu's words.

She thinks it's too tiring to work in a textile factory in the city, and wants to go to the countryside for re-education?

In the end, he couldn't stand staying for one night and ran away like a ghost?

Is this a high level of ideological awareness, or what?

Everyone was surprised at what kind of god this person was, only Liang Jinxi glanced at Lin Shu with a hard-to-explain look.

When he looked at her, Lin Shu was still happy with his nonsense, but when he looked at her like this, her little face turned red again, and she avoided his eyes in a panic.

Liang Jinxi: ...

He just confirmed yesterday that she had no interest in him, but what does this mean now?Isn't this going to cause misunderstandings!

Isn't he good at pretending to be good in front of others and talking nonsense? He blushed when he saw her, what does that mean?

Auntie Hu was really happy to see her son and Lin Shu interacting!

She also believed in Lin Shu's words, she said: "Oh, it's better not to go to the countryside like this, if you go to the countryside, you won't be able to endure the hardship, and you will look like you are being abused all day long, and our team will have to support you, which is really a big problem."

Just chanting "Amitabha".

Liang Jinxi was speechless.

These two people really get along well.

One loves to act, the other loves to cooperate, and they are very happy in it.

After a while, Lin Shu asked Liang Jinli again: "Captain Liang, I have a younger brother in the city, who is now with a relative. The city is not peaceful now, and I am a little worried. If I bring him to the countryside, will there be any problems with his household registration and education? Food rations are not a problem for now. My mother left some money and food coupons for us before she left. It should be enough for my brother to eat and study for a year. I will think of a solution later."

After Lin Shu asked this, everyone in the family looked at Liang Jinli.

Liang Jinli felt a certain amount of pressure and said hurriedly, "It won't be a problem. There are people from other places who come to study in the primary and middle schools of the commune."

"Yes,"

Auntie Hu was very enthusiastic when she heard Lin Shu said she wanted to bring her brother over. She said, "Aren't there people in the next village who leave their children in their hometown to study? Shushu, what you said is that your parents are not in the city, so how can you leave your brother alone in the city? Just bring him over. I remember you said that he is about the same age as Zhuzi Shitou. Bring him over and keep him with Zhuzi Shitou and the others. Don't worry about food rations. Although our family is poor, it is not a problem to give the child an extra pair of chopsticks."

She said again, "Xizhou City is so far away. I guess there are still many things to deal with when you bring your brother over. The journey is long. How can you go back as a girl? Let Jinxi accompany you there after the New Year."

Liang Jinxi:...

His mother is really good at finding trouble for him.

Lin Shu turned his head and glanced at Liang Jinxi. Even if she was embarrassed in front of him, she didn't want to trouble him again and again, but the situation was stronger than the person, and it was indeed much safer to let him accompany her.

So she didn't say whether it was good or not, but just said: "Then I will go to the commune today to call my relatives and discuss it with my brother."

"Okay,"

Auntie Hu said, "Let Jinxi accompany you to the commune after dinner."

After dinner, the two of them went out with the happy eyes of the whole family.

Even Liang Donghe was slightly touched.

She accompanied Auntie Hu to the kitchen to wash dishes, and couldn't help saying: "It seems that Jinxi really likes Lin Zhiqing. He has a bad temper since he was a child. Many girls in school liked him before, but he was completely stupid and could make people angry with his mouth. When has he ever been so considerate?"

In the past, his stinky face would freeze you to death if you asked him to see you. When has he ever been so easy to talk to? When the aunt asked him to send a girl, he sent a girl. When he asked him to accompany a girl to Xizhou City, he accompanied her to Xizhou City without saying a word!

Aunt Hu smiled and said, "That's because you don't know. That boy couldn't do anything to Shushu when he was young. Shushu was only two or three years old at that time. I don't know what that boy did to anger her. He didn't dare to say a word when he hit him with his fist." Liang Donghe smiled and thought, Aunt, Jinxi was ten years old at that time. A two or three-year-old girl hit him with a small hammer. How could he beat her? Jinxi is not that kind of person.
