The old man's inexplicable words made Lin Xi even more inexplicable. Just when he wanted to know what this sentence meant, the old man had already gone away and was about to climb the hill, so he had to give up.
At that time, the old man passed by Zhang Zhiyan. They looked at each other, but soon separated. Looking at the figure of the old man, Zhang Zhiyan was puzzled. He felt as if he had seen the old man somewhere, but he couldn't remember clearly.
"Xiaoxi, is that you? Are you back?"
After watching the old man climb the hillside, Lin Xi stood in the same place as if he were thinking. He didn't know what he was thinking. He stood in the same place and was in a trance. If it wasn't for a call from his yard, he didn't know how long it would take.
The call is full of warmth and kindness, revealing endless kindness. In the words, it also reveals the concern for Lin Xi. Maybe it's because I haven't seen Lin Xi for a long time, coupled with the meeting I miss too much, there is a faint expectation in the voice.
That's a mother's expectation of her son who came back from going out.
Hearing Lin's mother's call, Lin Xi immediately put his previous thoughts behind him, as if the old man had never appeared. Then he hurried to his yard and said, "Mom, it's me. I'm back!"
Lin Xi's mother's name is Lin Yunxian. It took her grandfather's father three days to come up with the name, which is the late Qing scholar of Lin Xi's family. Unfortunately, Lin Yunxian did not see that scholar in her memory.
It's said that Lin Xi's grandfather said that the scholar lived in his nineties and had gone through nearly a hundred years of vicissitudes. Later, he met his great granddaughter, but before Lin Yunxian could remember, the scholar had already passed away. But his story was often told by Lin Xi's grandfather.
As for why Lin Xi did not follow his father's surname, but also followed his surname Lin, there is a bit of story in it:
in the early 1980s, when the spring breeze of reform just blew across China, Lin Yunxian also actively responded to the call to leave northern Sichuan and come to a coastal city in the south to seek development for herself.
Soon, Lin Yunxian met a young man from Kyoto in that city, and fell in love with him day and night. They listened to the call of freedom of marriage, but they got married quickly in a short period of six months. Even Lin Xi's grandfather didn't know about their marriage. After Lin Xi was born, Lin Yunxian came home with Lin Xi in her arms .
In those days, the degree of openness was far less than that of today. Grandfather Lin Xi, who knew the truth, was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick. He just stayed in bed for half a month to accept this fact.
After all, at that time, the matter had already been settled. Even if we opposed it, we could not get rid of our daughter and grandson. So we had to acquiesce to this fact.
The reason why Lin Yunxian returned to Lin Jiashan with Lin Xi as a baby was that in the second month after Lin Xi was born, Lin Xi's father suddenly fell ill, and the illness was fierce. In addition, the medical conditions at that time were so poor that he died in just ten days.
However, before his death, Lin Xi's father exhorted Lin Yunxian that she must bring up Lin Xi, and insisted that Lin Xi's name be the same as Lin Yunxian's surname. Originally, Lin Yunxian refused this condition, but in order to respect the wishes of the deceased, Lin Xi finally took the surname of Lin, and Lin Xi's grandfather also acquiesced in this matter again.
Lin Yunxian's early experience in Lin Jiashan has never been a secret, and because of the difference of ideas, Lin Jiashan did not treat Lin Yunxian very much for a long time, and even in the first few years, she and Lin Xi were not allowed to enter the ancestral temple during the Spring Festival.
Even though she was criticized, Lin Yunxian still insisted on making Lin Xi bear all the hardships, and even had no intention to remarry. She silently took on all the pressure.
As for Lin Xi's father's family, because she grew up in an orphanage, she didn't have any relatives and friends. This is why Lin Yunxian returned to Lin Jiashan with Lin Xi and lived in Lin Jiashan for more than 20 years.
Although Lin Yunxian and Xiao Lin Xi, who came back to Lin Jiashan, were very unpopular in the first few years, especially the old people in the village, blamed them more. But as Lin Xi grew up, those people gradually changed their previous views, and even didn't feel good about Lin Xi's baby.
It has to be said that no matter where, or at any time, the idea of son preference has always existed in the blood and bones of our people, and there is always extra love for boys. Lin Xi's mouth has been sweet since he was a child, and when he learned to speak, he kept calling the elders in the village who changed their ways, and coaxed them into ecstasy every day.
With the recognition of Lin Xi by the old people in the village, other people will not have any opinions. On the contrary, because Lin Xi has a higher seniority in Lin Jia village, all the children in the village who are about his age respect him very much.
And the parents of those children even boast that Lin Xi is someone else's child. The reason is that Lin Xi is very good at studying since he was a child. He not only went to high school in Rongcheng, but also was admitted to the top five famous universities in China. He can be called the most promising young man in Linjia village.Today, Lin Jiacun not only no longer blames Lin Yunxian and Lin Mu, but also respects them. He seems to have completely accepted what happened at that time and recognized Lin Xi's identity.
As a matter of fact, there is no difference between Lin Yunxian and ordinary rural women. She is less than 50 years old this year. Her body has been slightly fat, and her face is full of frost because of years of hard work. However, she is always kind-hearted and kind to people and things.
In addition, when she was young, she was also a progressive youth. Lin Yunxian usually read some poems and books, so there was a sense of book between her eyebrows.
At that time, when Lin Yunxian stood in front of the door and called for Lin Xi, she was wearing a floral apron on her waist. Maybe because she washed it too many times, the fabric of the apron was white and there were two small holes on it.
Today's season has completely entered the East and West. Lin Yunxian, who is already slightly fat, is wearing two thick cotton padded clothes, so she looks bloated. In her hand, she is holding a small vegetable basket with several red and green peppers and vegetables in it. It seems that they have been cleaned up. She just needs to take it back and change the knife a few times to cook.
When Lin Yunxian saw that Lin Xi was still looking back, she felt uncomfortable and asked, "Xiao Xi, what are you looking at?"
