"Mother."
Su Jianwei looked at Lin Yulan from the middle hole in the kang.
Lin Yulan also saw the hole in the middle of the earthen kang.
In the past, she would just sweep the dust and never lifted the mat, so it was the first time she knew there was a hole under the mat.
Under Lin Yulan's gaze, Su Jianwei took out the wooden box.
This wooden box is just an ordinary wooden box. Maybe because it is a bit old, the surface is a little corroded, but the things inside are still well protected.
This wooden box with no patterns was locked with a copper lock. Before Su Jianwei asked Lin Yulan if she knew where the key was, he saw Lin Yulan turn around, pull out a small drawer on the cabinet opposite, and take out a key from it.
Obviously, she knew this thing.
Lin Yulan put the wooden box on the table. When she took the key to unlock it, her fingers couldn't help but tremble. She tried several times but couldn't open it.
Su Jianwei wanted to ask if she wanted to help, but when she saw Lin Yulan lowering her head and looking serious, she gave up and said
After trying five or six times, Lin Yulan finally opened the wooden box.
After opening it, there was a letter on the top. Lin Yulan opened it and her eyes became wet as she read it.
Su Jianwei looked at her mother curiously. Lin Yulan took a trembling breath and said, "This is my life story. My father has written down all the details of my life that I didn't remember clearly before."
In addition, Lin Dazhuang said in the last paragraph that if Lin Yulan wanted to return to the capital to find her biological parents, these three gold bricks should be able to help her.
There was another letter below this one. This letter was much more formal than the previous one, and even had an extra envelope, but it was written on it that it was addressed to Rong Wanting personally.
"This is for my biological mother."
In the first letter, Lin Dazhuang mentioned the names of Lin Yulan's biological parents and even left their original address in the imperial capital, paving the way for Lin Yulan.
Before Lin Dazhuang died, he hoped that Lin Yulan would return to her biological parents with the money.
Su Jianwei looked at the empty box except for the two letters and the gold bricks and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
Lin Yulan’s previous thought was that she didn’t want to look for him, but people change.
Lin Yulan held the two letters and shook her head, "I don't know."
She really didn't know, she felt so confused.
Seeing that Lin Yulan didn't seem to be opposed to returning to the imperial capital, Su Jianwei asked, "Should we go to the imperial capital?"
Lin Yulan was silent. She looked at the envelope with her mother's name on it and said, "I'll think about it."
Su Jianwei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Su Jianwei left Lin Yulan alone in Lin Dazhuang's room to think, while he went to wander around the yard.
When the two of them went to Aunt Li's house for lunch at noon, Lin Yulan had returned to her normal self.
She came to Aunt Li's house with the Pengcheng Eight Delicacies she bought in Pengcheng, two sets of clothes for Aunt Li, and a box of milk brought from the city.
Perhaps knowing that Lin Yulan didn't want to see her son, only Aunt Li and her daughter-in-law were present at the luncheon.
Aunt Li smiled from ear to ear when she saw what Lin Yulan bought for her. "Why would you buy clothes for an old woman like me who has half a leg in her coffin? But this is really beautiful!"
Aunt Li couldn't put down the clothes that Lin Yulan bought for her.
Su Jianwei's mouth was also sweet, "This is something my mother bought for you at the mall. Do you want to try it now?"
"I remember your clothes size, it should fit you." Lin Yulan said.
Aunt Li hadn't even tried it on yet, but she smiled and said, "It fits, of course. If it doesn't, I can lose some weight and it will fit."
She put it away like a treasure and said, "I haven't bought new clothes in years. I have to save this for the New Year."
Aunt Li's daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed. She wondered if her mother-in-law was pointing out that she had not bought her clothes.
When Aunt Li went to put away the clothes, Aunt Li's daughter-in-law looked at Lin Yulan and said with a smile: "Yulan, where have you and the child been?"
"We originally thought you and your daughter would return to the village, but you didn't, and the house was rented out in the city. My mother-in-law was so worried when she found out."
Lin Yulan said, "I made Auntie worry."
Aunt Li's wife looked at the Pengcheng Eight Delicacies that Lin Yulan brought, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "You and Weiwei went to Pengcheng?"
Seeing that Lin Yulan and Su Jianwei were silent, she continued, "Why are you two going so far away when you are unfamiliar with the place? In my opinion, you might as well return to the village and farm. It's a stable and secure place."
Aunt Li's daughter-in-law felt jealous when she saw Lin Yulan, who was about the same age as her but looked like she was ten years younger.
Lin Yulan just smiled and said nothing, and Su Jianwei didn't say anything either.
Aunt Li's daughter-in-law secretly gave Lin Yulan a look, and after Aunt Li came back, the four of them had dinner together.
"Tomorrow is the last big market. You haven't bought anything at home. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Su Jianwei's eyes lit up. She had never been to any big market before.
Lin Yulan felt a little conflicted as she watched Su Jianwei's interested expression. She actually wanted to have lunch today, visit all the relatives she needed to visit, and then visit her father's grave before returning to the city.
Su Jianwei saw that Lin Yulan had not finished speaking, and thought of what they had said yesterday.
"Grandma Li, we're not going." Su Jianwei didn't let Lin Yulan continue to embarrass herself and said, "We'll visit relatives after dinner and go back in the afternoon."
Aunt Li looked at Lin Yulan in surprise. "You're leaving right after coming back? Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year at home this year?"
Lin Yulan's smile was bitter, and she said, "I think coming back and having a meal with you is already a New Year's celebration."
Aunt Li listened and looked at Lin Yulan with a hint of heartache in her eyes.
"I'm going to visit my uncle's house this afternoon and will be heading back soon."
Aunt Li sighed, but finally nodded. "Go visit your uncle's house. I'll buy some paper for the funeral. When you come back, I'll take Weiwei to see your father."
"good."
Perhaps knowing that Lin Yulan and Su Jianwei were about to leave in the afternoon, Aunt Li kept picking up food for them during lunch.
Although Aunt Li's cooking skills are not as good as Lin Yulan's, they have their own unique flavor.
After dinner, everything went smoothly when they went to Lin Erzhu's house to pay New Year's greetings. The originally unreasonable Lin Erzhu was extremely polite to Lin Yulan in front of his parents.
It took only three hours from meeting the relatives to visiting the grave.
When Lin Yulan and Su Jianwei were about to leave, they just arrived at the village entrance and met two unfamiliar faces from the village.
When the two strangers saw Lin Yulan and Su Jianwei, they subconsciously took out a photo from their cotton-padded jacket pockets. When they saw that it was the person they were looking for, their eyes instantly lit up.
