After aunt Lin left, Lin Peilan's noodles were ready. Her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down to eat noodles. Chen's mother glanced at Lin Peilan carelessly and asked her as if she had no intention.
"Last time I had a chance, your father's comrades went to your nearby town and became the director. Although the place is not big, they are in charge of this side. Did your aunt come to you because of this? "
Lin Peilan did not eat a mouthful of noodles. She quickly put down her chopsticks and waved her hand to deny it.
"No, no, she knows it's not something I can say. She didn't mention it."
It's no use mentioning it. Lin Peilan can't tell Aunt Lin these things. It's the same sentence. Do it according to your ability.
"It doesn't matter if you really say it. I know your aunt's temper." But Lin Peilan didn't mention a word at home, which surprised Chen's mother.
"Don't worry, Ma! I know dad's work is not easy to do, and it will never cause him any trouble. " In Lin Peilan's opinion, to be a man or to do something, we should do it step by step. It is not advisable to take a shortcut.
Chen's father is so upright and upright that Lin Peilan is reluctant to destroy his image, even if he mentions it.
"You'd better think that way."
Chen's mother is a bit of comfort. Lin Peilan has some shortcomings, but it's not nothing.
……
After Chen Jianguo left home, Lin Peilan returned to her usual routine. She got up early to cook and clean, followed by buying vegetables. When she came back, she would read for a while in her spare time. If she didn't understand, she would ask her mother. In the evening, she would go upstairs and sit in the quilt to knit a sweater for Chen Jianguo.
She bought more than ten catties of wool back, and Chen's mother around for most of the day, only to become a group.
After Chen Jianguo left, he didn't call his family for two days in a row. Lin Peilan waited with her heart in her arms, and she didn't dare to call him, for fear that she would disturb him.
Until the day of Laba Festival, early in the morning, Lin Peilan got up and cooked more Laba porridge with beans and peanuts that she had soaked yesterday. She thought that she would go to school to send Lin Peiwen a portion later. How to say, it was also a festival.
It's only when the pot is cooked here that the phone rings in the living room. Chen's father came back last night. Lin Peilan is afraid that she is looking for Chen's father. She quickly wipes her hands and goes to answer the phone.
"Perrin, it's me."
Chen Jianguo, who had been away from home for several days, finally called back. He was tired and could be heard by Lin Peilan across the phone line.
"Jianguo, why did you call at this time? Are you busy these days? "
"Good thing. It's going well. That colleague has been discharged from the hospital. As long as he has a good rest, he can still return to normal. "
"That's good, that's good."
Lin Peilan was worried for several days and finally relieved.
"I'm in a hurry. Are you scared?"
Chen Jianguo seems to be able to imagine that Lin Peilan's small appearance of frowning and smiling, and her tired heart came back to life, and asked softly in front of the microphone.
"No, work matters. I understand
Worry is essential, but as Chen's mother said, love can't hold a man's ambition. Love is the string at the other end of the kite, flying the kite across the sky, but as long as the kite stops back, there will be a place to settle down.
"Thank you, Perrin..."
"Why thank me? I should be the one to thank you for your hard work and hard work, but it's all for US civilians to travel more conveniently. "
Chen Jianguo can't help laughing. Needless to say, they all know that it's his mother's brainwashing for Lin Peilan. It's gratifying that they finally stop fighting each other and get along with each other.
"It's a great honor for you to praise me. It's just that it's more than I feel sorry for you. Pelan, I'll make it up to you when I come back. "
"What nonsense? I have known the nature of your work for a long time. What's more, mom said something I didn't know. I can understand that it's not easy for you. " Lin Peilan turned to the topic with a smile, "today is Laba Festival. I cooked more than ten kinds of ingredients of Laba porridge, and now you just called."
"It's a pity that I can't eat. You can eat more for me."
"Next time you come back, I can make it for you. I have those ingredients at home."
"Good." Chen Jianguo suddenly said, "the construction period has been delayed for a long time. Maybe I can't come back for the new year. Let's see if we can come back in a few years. "
The workers at the bottom have to continue to rush to work. It's true that they think twice about their relatives during the holidays. In order to stabilize the mood of the workers, they naturally have to stay, so that some of them will not go home for the new year, and some of them will worry about their family troubles.
"I see. I'll pass it on to my parents later."
Chen Jianguo's late call to report safety reassured Lin Peilan. At the same time, she was a little melancholy. It was not easy to spend the Spring Festival outside.
Reluctantly hung up the phone, when Chen's mother and father got up for dinner, Lin Peilan said about the phone.
"It's excusable if you don't come back. After all, there are hundreds of workers at the construction site. No one can go home for the new year. You're the only one to come back. Do you think others will feel better? As a leader, we should take a good lead and not bring negative emotions to our comrades. "
Chen's father's words always take the overall situation into consideration, and his mother's words are blocked in a few sentences.
No one plays the role of son, father and husband. Every family is looking forward to their relatives coming home for the new year.
"Dad, mom, I want to spend the new year with Jianguo. Do you think it's ok?" Lin Peilan asked Chen's father and mother.
"Yes! Why not? That's a good idea. Your mother couldn't think of it back then. " Chen's father nodded with a smile.
"I didn't want to disturb your work. I didn't appreciate it."
This is something Chen's mother never thought about. When her husband was working wholeheartedly for a long time, she also had her own job. There were many things to separate during the Spring Festival, but she never did as Lin Peilan thought.
Lin's idea was supported by Chen's father, so she began to prepare.
In fact, there was nothing to prepare for. She just wanted to stay away from home for the new year in the first year of her marriage to the Chen family, which was contrary to the idea that grandma Lin had instilled in them since childhood.
When I went to Lin Peiwen's school to deliver Laba porridge, I mentioned it to Lin Peiwen. Lin Peiwen also agreed with Lin Peilan.
"If I didn't have homework to do, I would like to go with my sister."
"You can take your homework with you." Lin Peilan has a big brain hole. She went out to see a lot of good things. It's not better to take Lin Peiwen with her. "When you have a holiday, I'll go home with you and tell Dad that we started years ago."
"Really? Can I go, too? " Lin Peiwen was very excited.
"It's up to me. Of course I can go." Lin Peilan was sure that his father would agree to take Lin Peiwen with him, and he was sure, "are you on the 23rd holiday? I'll go home with you and give you a new year's gift, by the way
"Yes
Lin Peiwen couldn't find the north. She raised her hand to give Lin Peiwen the collar of her school uniform. Lin Peilan was also happy.
