Lin Jiayan seemed to have returned to that dilapidated home.
The houses at that time were all made of mud, including the courtyard walls.
Over time, there are many small holes in the mud wall, just like a honeycomb.
In the spring, the bees will get into these small holes. The brothers will use a transparent bottle to shine on the hole, and then lightly dig out with a straw, the frightened bee will fly out, and finally fall into the bottle at the hole. .
In summer, her brothers will help her catch a lot of fireflies.
In the fall, her brothers will help her catch the crickets.
But she likes winter best, although there is no snow in winter.
But the coming of winter means that the Spring Festival is coming soon, which means that you can have a full meal and there will be a pair of new shoes.
She has never seen her father, but the three older brothers love her like a father. All the memories are beautiful, but the memories are hungry.
Children at that time, unlike now, can be exposed to all kinds of information and knowledge.
The days are so haunting, even the names of the brothers can't be remembered, only the country they are called.
In the past, she often thought of them, dreaming of them, but then these memories gradually faded, and even their appearance became blurred.
The only memory left is a big tree in front of the door. Under the big tree sits a woman doing needlework. Several children play games around the tree.
"Mom, what happened later?" Li Yanan held her mother's hand tightly, feeling distressed.
Li Mao, who was sitting on the other side, gently hugged her shoulders. He had never heard Lin Jiayan talk about these things.
"Later? Later? It took too long. I didn't remember many things clearly. I went to many people's houses and was sold to a family named Lin, who was my adoptive father and adoptive mother." Speaking of this, the Lin family Yan's body trembled slightly.
Li Maocai lightly patted her back, giving her the greatest comfort and support.
Li Yanan felt her mother's trembling, so she asked, "Is their family very bad for you?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiayan shook her head, "I didn't say it was bad. Every household had a hard time. Generally speaking, their family treated me well, at least they didn't let me starve to death outside."
"Hey, in that case, they should be regarded as our grandpa and grandmother? Why have you never seen them?" Li Bingyu said heartlessly beside him.
"They passed away long ago, of course you haven't seen it." Lin Jiayan said lightly.
But Li Yanan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
"Mom, are you going to see Grandma Zhou? I heard from a friend that she didn't abandon you back then, nor did she sell you. It was just an accident."
Lin Jiayan was silent when she heard this. In her memory, not only did the Lin family tell her that she bought it.
The same was said by the previous family. She was sold for a bag of rice.
And in her memory, there is indeed a vague impression of a woman carrying a bag, plus her memories of hunger, so she has always believed in it.
"Mom, I think you'd better see you. It's been so many years. You can ask about things face-to-face. Moreover, Grandma Zhou is already 80 years old and she fell down last time. That's why she gave the bracelet to I lost my friend's daughter, because she..." Li Yanan persuaded beside her.
Li Bingyu was confused at hearing, completely unaware of the consequences.
"What happened to her? Did she fall seriously?"
Lin Jiayan was also a little panicked when she heard that Grandma Zhou fell, and her heart was in a mess.
"I'm not quite sure about this, my friend didn't say it." Li Yanan said.
Lin Jiayan sighed with disappointment, and couldn't help turning her gaze to Li Maocai next to him, asking him to make decisions. He always makes decisions about major family matters, and this time is no exception.
"Yanan also makes sense. The old lady is 80 years old. How many years will she have if she doesn’t listen? Don’t regret it when the time comes. We have experienced so many difficulties in our entire life. Are they all carried over?" Li Mao said, hugging her shoulders tightly.
"Yes, I am an unqualified mother, and I can't be an unfilial daughter." Lin Jiayan muttered quietly.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Yanan asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, by the way, you can call your friend and ask...How is the old lady, how is her health?" Lin Jiayan, who had figured it out, felt relieved, so she immediately said to her daughter.
"Oh, then I will help you ask now."
Lin Jiayan is also a woman of turmoil. After hearing the words, she immediately took out the phone and dialed Fangyuan's mobile phone.
Fang Yuan was in the cafe at this time, watching Lan Caiyi lick the cat, drinking coffee, and enjoying the afternoon.
"Hey, Yanan, are you home?" Fang Yuan hurriedly connected when Li Yanan called.
"I just got home for a while."
"Then did you talk to your mother? Did your mother agree with Grandma Zhou?" Fang Yuan asked eagerly.
"Already talked about it, my mother agreed." Li Yanan said.
"Really?" Fang Yuan stood up in surprise, and hurriedly sat down again after seeing the surprised glances from other people.
"Then when is your mother going to see Grandma Zhou?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Let's talk about it, you told me this morning that Grandma Zhou fell down some time ago, how is she now? Is she in good health?" Li Yannan asked.
"Already healed, but the body is definitely not as sharp as before, especially the left leg, it is not very able to take a step." Fang Yuan directly relayed Liu Sanshu's words to her.
"That's good, I won't tell you for now, I'll call you later." Without waiting for Fangyuan to continue questioning, he just hung up.
"Who called? See you so happy."
Lan Caiyi sat down opposite him seemingly casually.
"Yanan called. She said her mother would like to see Grandma Zhou." Fang Yuan said happily.
"Really? That's great." Although she is not familiar with Grandma Zhou, she is really happy for her.
"What, what did your friend say?" Lin Jiayan couldn't wait to ask when her daughter hung up the phone.
"My friend said that his body has recovered, but he is old after all. Because of a fall, his body is not as sharp as before, and his left leg is not able to take a step." Li Yanan said.
"It's fine if it's okay." Lin Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he asked casually: "Is your friend a man or a woman?"
"Male." Li Yanan subconsciously said.
After I said it, I reacted.
Sure enough, Lin Jiayan immediately asked, "What kind of friend is this? How did you meet?"
"Mom, why are you asking so much?" Li Yanan knew that his mother had committed another problem.
As long as it is a male friend, she always asks questions.
"Why, Mom is just curious, so I can't ask." Lin Jiayan said.
"Well, you can be happy. Last time I went to Majiahu Reservoir with Xiaoya. His father and Xiaoya's father are comrades-in-arms. He is also the boss of the company where I work."
Lin Jiayan nodded suddenly when she heard this. She knew Zhou Xiaoya, had seen it many times, and had come to play at her house, a very good girl.
"However, why did you go to work in his company and not...?" Lin Jiayan asked suspiciously.
"Mom, what do you think? I just said that Grandma Zhou gave the bracelet to his daughter. They have a wife and children, and they are not mine. Xiaoya and the others all work there."
"Yes, look at my brain." Lin Jiayan patted his head.
"Mom, let's not talk about it yet, when are you going to see grandma?" Li Bingyu couldn't wait to be authentic beside him.
When he was a teenager, his grandparents passed away. In his impression, it was his grandparents who loved him the most. So now he is very curious about this sudden grandma.
Lin Jiayan turned her gaze to Li Maocai who was sitting next to her again.
