"Dad." Lin Peilan went over and called.
"I'll... I'll take you back."
Lin Youcai's tone was flustered and worried. He comforted his daughter first, but he was short of words. He didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a long time, and then came up with such a sentence.
"Second uncle, we are also planning to go back!" Lin Yuxiang asked, "is aunt still at home?"
"Your aunt doesn't feel well. She has to be raised."
"I think she was angry because she deliberately made trouble..."
"Yuxiang!" The eldest aunt interrupted her in a voice, "if you don't want to be beaten by your father, don't say these words again when you go back."
"Why? She's been married out for years. Why should she take care of her mother's family? "
Lin Yuxiang's unconvinced words are also the reason why Lin Peilan wanted to know all these years. A married daughter's status in her mother's family is so high that there is only one aunt Lin in the whole village.
"Because when our family didn't eat or drink, it was your aunt who put everything down... None of our family could live without her!"
This is the secret of the Lin family for decades, and it is also the reason why aunt Lin has been able to say so much at home. No one will mention it today.
Lin Youcai was young at that time. He only remembered that his family were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to dig wild vegetables. They were lying around waiting to die.
No one had food that month. When a girl went out, what could she do to bring back food rations to her starving brothers?
Granny Lin cried for several days. She didn't eat a mouthful of the grain that Aunt Lin brought home. She would rather eat grass roots and bark.
When life gets better, grandma Lin starts to do good deeds and accumulate happiness for her children. The Lin family has an unwritten rule that they follow aunt Lin's advice. As soon as aunt Lin's words come out at home, she almost has made a decision.
"It's not easy for your aunt to come to this day. You can't be disrespectful to her if you have a big temper. "
It's the first time that Lin Peilan and Lin Yuxiang, including his great aunt, have heard about this. Lin Youcai's few simple words do not need to be pointed out. Everyone understands them.
There was a short silence in the silent night. Lin Youcai was clumsy. Today he had to mention it. After that, he regretted it and stood there deeper and deeper.
"Dad, I know." Lin Peilan broke the silence. "I know what I can do according to my ability. I really can't help my aunt. If she wants to blame me, blame me!"
When they returned to the village, no one was visible outside. The light in Lin's courtyard was still on. The eldest aunt told Lin Peilan that they should go back quietly and not quarrel again.
Lin Peilan was tired. She was driven out of the house. She wanted to send Lin Yuxiang and her great aunt back. She just made do with the night outside and made a decision tomorrow. But she didn't expect her father to come to her.
Everyone's room doors were closed tightly in the quiet house, and they were obviously asleep.
"Yuxiang, go to sleep after you eat! I'll fry tea tonight. You come every day. "
Lin Peilan went into the kitchen. There was no food in the kitchen.
"Pelan, I'll make some noodles! You can work, too. " Big aunt secretly looked at the direction of Mrs. Lin's room and whispered.
"No! I'll bring back a few cakes. I'll just have two with tea in a moment. "
"Eat something hot!"
After experiencing those things, Lin Peilan was very thoughtful. Her aunt wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start. In addition, Lin Youcai said that Mishin was in a bad mood.
Lin Peilan was very tired and had no appetite. If it wasn't for the bad stir frying of tea, she thought that there would be a lot of things to do tomorrow, and she felt that she might not be able to support it.
Seeing that her great aunt insisted on doing it, Lin Peilan said that she would just put some pickled cabbage into those cakes to eat.
The eldest aunt answered and went back to her kitchen to make a few bowls of cake soup. Even Lin Youcai, who was silent about the fire, had a share of it. No one came out to see the news of the fire and cooking. I didn't know whether the whole family was asleep or pretended not to know.
Lin Yuzhu's future mother-in-law has been in poor health recently. She went to take care of her. Only her great uncle and Lin Peihong are in the big room. Her great uncle is a man who can only go up and down the mountain, burn fire at home and never touch a kitchen knife. He doesn't know how to eat tonight.
The eldest aunt didn't ask them to eat either. The four of them ate cake soup in silence. Lin Peilan and Lin Yuxiang went to stir fry tea. Lin Youcai started the fire. The eldest aunt came back to the room after being busy for a while.
This night is rare quiet, in addition to the stir frying tea and firewood crackling sound, there is no previous everyone's talk and laughter.
Fortunately, the tea to be fried is finished by daybreak, and the rest of the cabbage is still cool in the hall.
After Lin Yuxiang was sent to have a rest, Lin Peilan took a bath, changed her clothes and prepared to go downstairs with her bag.
There was some movement in grandma Lin's room. It was grandma Lin's voice urging aunt Lin to sleep more. When Lin Peilan came downstairs, she just saw aunt Lin coming out of grandma Lin's room.
"Well! You still have face
Aunt Lin took a cold look at Lin Peilan and went to the yard to comb her hair.
Lin Peilan didn't intend to quarrel with her at all. What's more, after listening to Lin Youcai's words, she felt a little uncomfortable and chose to ignore them.
"If you are wise, don't go back to your mother's house. Don't suck up your mother's blood and support you for the rest of your life. " Aunt Lin did not forget to shout to Lin Peilan at the back.
Lin Pei Lan's steps to leave faltered and did not look back.
Did not sleep all night, stay up late voice a bit dumb, but still not humble.
"I've never thought about taking anything from my mother's family. I just want to lead my family on a better way to happiness, and no longer be criticized because of poverty. This is my home, with my family, I love no less than you
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Peilan walked out of the door without listening.
In the courtyard, grandma Lin's voice never said, "that unfilial girl, why do you talk to her so much? With me, she can't imagine doing whatever she likes at home like before... Take good care of her body, don't let me worry..."
Lin Peilan left home with expressionless face in the morning light. Before she went out, she was full of energy and love from her family.
But after yesterday, she knew that she couldn't go back. She had to go alone.
Lin Peilan went out early in the morning and didn't leave a word. Instead, aunt Lin went back to work in the county after eating the breakfast that grandma Lin had made.
I left a word before I left.
If you want her to go back to her mother's home, you can't allow her to stay at home any longer. She doesn't have me, I don't have her.
Lin Youcai can't agree with this, but he doesn't speak hard. Grandma Lin has already answered there.
"You go back first, and I'll ask her to come and apologize to you another day. A married girl should go back to her mother-in-law's house. She doesn't have to stay in her mother's house all the time. "
