Chapter 26

"It's done,"

Auntie Hu reached out and grabbed her grandson's ear, and then glared at her grandson who was hiding behind her, telling them with her eyes not to think that the act of stealing roasted sweet potatoes would be forgiven.

But she was in a good mood, and said, "Eat, cheer up, and go to the commune to get things done in the afternoon after dinner! And then have a good New Year's Eve dinner in the evening!"

Lin Shu knew that the Liang family was busy in the afternoon.

So after lunch, Lin Shu said goodbye to Aunt Hu, saying, "Aunt, everyone in the Youth Institute is celebrating the New Year today. I will go back to spend some time with everyone and come back to help you and Sister Xiuhong later in the afternoon." Aunt Hu did not keep her, and smiled and said, "Okay, I will ask Shitou or Zhuzi to call you in the afternoon. You have good handwriting, come and help Aunt write couplets!" Lin Shu quickly agreed. Aunt Hu turned around and ordered Liang Jinxi, saying, "Go, take Shushu home to help him digest his food."

"No need, Auntie,"

Lin Shu waved his hand and said, "The family is busy, Brother Liang should stay at home to help. It's just a few steps away, there's no need to take him home."

Aunt Hu smiled and said, "He should be taken home. We have to discuss some trivial matters later. He is impatient with those things. I guess he has been annoyed by what he just heard. Let him go out for a walk and cool off, otherwise he will have another rage in the afternoon."

Lin Shu: ...Okay.

Liang Jinxi stood up without saying a word.

When the two of them walked to the door, Liang Donghe cleaned up the dishes and came over, saying to Auntie, "I will take Shushu home and talk to him."

Liang Donghe took Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi to the gate of the yard.

Liang Jinxi went out of the gate and stood outside. Liang Donghe and Lin Shu talked in the yard across a step.

Liang Donghe said to Lin Shu: "Thank you, Shushu."

If it weren't for what Lin Shu said earlier, her mother and the others wouldn't have thought so much.It was exposed directly without any cover, and everyone was always covered by the cloth of blood relationship, so she had no chance to directly confront the other side and cut off the relationship.

Not only did she not blame her for wanting to match Jinxi and Gao Xiaolian, but she was willing to get involved to help her when she knew that her mother was the kind of person who didn't know what was going on.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Sister Donghe, just don't blame me for being nosy."

Liang Donghe shook her head, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm not a person who doesn't know what is going on."

In fact, it's not that she didn't know it before.

It's just that there are many layers of skin to pull, and it's not easy to cut off that layer of relationship.

Not only is it bloody to cut it off, but if it's not done well, with her mother's temper, she will definitely tell everyone that she is the one who despises the poor and loves the rich, and doesn't want her own mother who lives in poverty, but licks her uncle and aunt who have a better environment.

She took a deep breath, turned her head and looked at her cousin Liang Jinxi who was standing at the door and looking outside. The corners of his mouth curved, and he said, "I was also surprised at first. Jinxi is not the type who likes pretty girls, otherwise he wouldn't have been single until now. There were many girls who liked him when he was in school, and many of them were pretty. Even when he was in military school, there was a pretty classmate who came to our house during the winter vacation. She was pretty and generous. She came with two other male classmates at that time, but who couldn't see what was going on? Only Jinxi didn't react at all. People said they wanted to experience life in the mountains, but after a meal, he drove everyone away unkindly. Later, the aunt scolded him, but he didn't say a word. Anyway, you can scold yours, I won't be hurt at all."

Lin Shu:...

She felt something indescribable, and subconsciously turned to look at Liang Jinxi.

The few people were a few steps away, so Liang Jinxi naturally heard every word of this.

This is all old news from a few years ago.

Liang Jinxi has a good memory, and it's hard to say that he doesn't remember what that classmate looked like. In fact, he remembers it very clearly.

Because he has always had a photographic memory, for people, objects, and events.

…In fact, when he came back that day and heard his mother say that he had held her in his arms when he was a child, he remembered that it was true.

She was really cute when she was a child.

Soft, tender, and white, just like freshly peeled mountain lychees. At that time, he was still quite fresh and couldn't help pinching them...

Now his second sister took him to the old almanac, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

Lin Shu looked over, and he met her gaze directly. On the contrary, when Lin Shu met his gaze and saw his straight eyebrows and handsome appearance, her face suddenly turned red, and she turned away in a panic.

…Of course, she was not attracted by his handsomeness. She was not the type to be shy. It was because of that psychopath Lin Meilan. As long as she talked about love and looked into his eyes, Lin Meilan's inner voice would automatically come out, making her feel ashamed.

She was also very helpless!

Liang Jinxi paused when he saw her like this, and then naturally moved away.

Liang Donghe misunderstood Lin Shu again when she saw her like this.

She thought to herself that Lin Zhiqing really liked Jinxi very much, but Jinxi's temper, although he was an exception to Lin Zhiqing, was obviously not good at coaxing people. It can be seen from the unfamiliarity between the two of them, and Jinxi will return to the army in a few days...

"He is just like this. No matter how many people like him, he will not get involved in any gossip around him. This is the first time I see him being so patient with a girl."

Lin Shu was embarrassed.

This...she forced herself to come up.

In fact, he was also very annoyed with himself...

Liang Donghe looked at Lin Shu's expression and thought that Lin Shu was shy.

She said softly: "Shushu, after this morning's commotion, you should know that I have not had a good life in the Gao family these years, but why have you been enduring it, and now on New Year's Day you come back and say you want a divorce?" Lin Shu originally thought that it was because of the steamed buns, and the Gao family wanted Liang Jinxi to arrange a job for Gao Laosan or join the army. These things were mixed together, and all the contradictions broke out, which led to Liang Donghe's desire for a divorce. But Liang Donghe told her this, obviously it should be more than that. She didn't say anything, and waited quietly for Liang Donghe to continue. Liang Donghe smiled and continued, "Because here, few women get divorced. If they can't make ends meet, they have to endure it. Some jump into the river, some hang themselves, and some eat rat poison. But there are still some who don't get divorced. Even if they get divorced, they can't take their children with them."

"I haven't brought it up because I know that even if my uncle and aunt can support me, the Gao family will definitely not give me Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu. My mother is like that, and it will only make a mess. Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu are my life, and I can't let this go wrong."

"So I waited until Jinxi came back, and then I took advantage of the steamed buns incident and ran back to make a fuss."

After all, Zhenzhen is nine years old and Zhuzhu is seven years old. They can earn work points and do housework. If they get married, they can get a large sum of dowry money. They can even control them and blackmail my uncle and aunt. So no matter how much the Gao family despised them, they would not let them go easily. Even if they were mad, they would definitely keep their property.

In fact, she had long ago stopped touching anything that Gao Chongping bought.

She had deliberately provoked the steamed buns incident.

She had been waiting for her cousin to come back.

Knowing that he would be back in the next two days, she had brought up the steamed buns incident.

This was the fuse for the divorce..

She turned her head again and looked at Liang Jinxi, who was looking at the distance with his hands in his waist pockets, as if he didn't hear their conversation at all. She turned back and continued to talk to Lin Shu: "Because of Jinxi, I know that as long as he comes back, he will definitely help me to do this thing neatly and neatly, and will definitely help me to get Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu over."

Speaking of this, her nose and eyes were inexplicably sore again.

"Shushu, Jinxi has a bad temper since he was a child, and sometimes he is very annoying, but he has always been the most reliable and responsible. No matter what, as long as he promises, he will definitely do it. As long as he is there, you don't have to worry about anything, don't be afraid."

She took a long breath, reached out and hugged Lin Shu, and said, "So Shushu, you don't have to be afraid. You don't have to worry about your brother's affairs and Xizhou City's affairs. Jinxi will accompany you. He rarely accommodates girls in the past, but if there is anything, just tell him directly, he will treat you well."

Lin Shu felt very ashamed after hearing this.

It doesn't matter whether he is good to her or not.

But it is true that Liang Jinxi's two words made Gao Chongping speechless. Such a person really makes people feel at ease.

However, everyone's misunderstanding is really getting deeper and deeper.

Liang Donghe smiled again when she saw Lin Shu's entanglement, let her go, and said softly, "Okay, you go back and come early in the afternoon", and then turned back to the house.

Lin Shu looked back at Liang Jinxi standing at the door, feeling really embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Let's go."

Liang Jinxi acted as if nothing had happened. When she came out, he walked straight forward.

This scene is so familiar.

Lin Shu thought that the sentence he said to her the most seemed to be these two words...

She hurriedly caught up with him and said, "Brother Liang, when we come back from Xizhou City, will we explain it clearly to Auntie and the family?"

Liang Jinxi glanced at her.

Lin Shu inexplicably felt that he seemed to be mocking her.

And what she meant just now was that she would use it first, and then immediately clear herself from it after she was done with it...

She hurriedly added, "But if you want to continue like this, Brother Liang, we can clarify it after you return to the army and have a date in the army. At that time, Brother Liang will make the decision. I have no problem. Anyway, I am young and don't have to worry about this matter in the next few years."

According to Lin Meilan's thoughts, her father will be rehabilitated in four or five years, and she will take the college entrance examination to go to college when the college entrance examination is resumed.

So for the time being, having a long-term partner in the army is not a burden for her at all.

It is even a good shelter for her and her brother.

...Alas, why is she thinking about utilitarianism again.

She has always used him for nothing but using him since they didn't meet...

"Anyway, whatever you say, I will agree to it."

She lowered her head, looked at his military boots, and whispered.

She felt his whole body, but she could see his boots most clearly. She remembered how many places were worn and where there were different degrees of scratches.

"Well, let's talk about it after we come back from Xizhou City."

He looked at her for a while, probably because he felt sorry for her. He paused and finally said something softer, "Don't worry, wait until we pick up your brother."

****

When Liang Jinxi sent Lin Shu back to the Youth Home, the Youths had already returned from the county.

They were busy in the half-open small kitchen outside the yard.

Liang Jinxi would of course not go in. He sent Lin Shu to the gate of the yard and left.

Xu Juan just came out of the dormitory and saw Liang Jinxi outside the door across the yard.

When Lin Shu came in, she asked Lin Shu half with concern and half with excitement: "Shushu, Captain Liang specially sent you back. Does he like you now? Oh, I really asked a stupid question. You are so good, and Aunt Hu likes you. How could he not like you!" Before Lin Shu could deny it, Xu Juan said quickly, "Have you confirmed your relationship now? I heard that Captain Liang is not young anymore, and Aunt Hu has been anxious for Captain Liang to get married. Since you have confirmed your relationship with him, will you marry him soon? Then when he goes to the army, do you want to go with him?" Lin Shu: ... Sister, the car doesn't run as fast as you! She had a headache, pushed Xu Juan away, and went to the room. Xu Juan had indeed forgotten that she was going to the kitchen outside.

When Lin Shu returned to the room, she followed him back and closed the door. Lin Shu walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. He took a sip, calmed down, and said, "How can it be as simple as you say? Captain Liang is not such a shallow person. He has only known me for a few days, how can he like me?" Speaking of this, she suddenly had an idea and said nonsense, "Xu Juan, you see that Captain Liang has such good conditions, but he still has no partner. There must be a reason." "What reason?" Xu Juan was startled, "Is he sick?" "Pa", Lin Shu reached out and took a book on the table and hit Xu Juan on the head, cursing, "What nonsense! It's just that Captain Liang is a man with lofty ambitions, thoughts, and connotation. For a person like him, he

will definitely not look at the appearance of the person when looking for a partner, but must find someone who can share the same ideals with him and can make progress together!" "You can do it too!" Xu Juan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is nothing wrong with him, and said, "I have never seen a person with a better temper than you, who is considerate, knows a lot, and loves to learn.Xi, what is wrong with me not meeting his requirements? "

"That's not enough!"

Lin Shu's mind turned quickly, picking up her own shortcomings, and said, "But I'm not frugal enough, not hardworking enough, you know all these, although I'm trying to correct myself, but some things can't be changed all at once, he may have already disliked me, if I marry him and can't accompany him to fight together, can't keep up with his progress, he will definitely not like it. "

"And I told you that the conditions in the military district are very difficult, not as good as the countryside, living there, it's not easy to be a soldier's wife. Captain Liang is a person who can judge people very well, and he can probably see through a person's nature after a few contacts with him. He must think that I am not suitable to be his partner. "

Liang Jinxi, who was standing outside the door with a bag in his hand:...
