Ever since Jiang Li and Jiang Yi left the village, although Jiang Yun had Lai Er Niang and her uncle to accompany her, and Goudan also tried to please her from time to time, the smile on Jiang Yun's face became less and less.
At first, she locked herself in the house, refused to go out to interact with others, and was unwilling to play with other children.
Sometimes she would go up the mountain to work with Goudan, sometimes she would go to the fields to plant vegetables, and sometimes she would go to the kitchen to cook with Lai Erniang.
Her life is obviously very fulfilling, but she smiles less and less.
Later on, she didn't want to go anywhere except work, and sometimes she would move a small stool and sit at the entrance of the village.
Jiang Yun would watch from afar, and as soon as she saw someone entering the village, she would stand up.
Although Jiang Yun didn't say anything, everyone could see that she was thinking about her brother and sister.
But she was a little stubborn at that time, and no matter how Jiang Li asked, she was unwilling to leave the village.
She insisted on staying here, and only felt a sense of loss when her brothers and sisters really left.
Zhang Guocai was sitting in the yard weaving, while Lai Erniang was beside him arranging the bamboo.
They still seldom spoke to each other, but through spending time together, they became more and more in sync with each other.
Many times, you don’t even need to say anything; you can understand what the other person is thinking with just a glance.
Lai Erniang could accurately hand over whatever materials and tools Zhang Guocai needed for weaving.
Zhang Guocai gradually became dependent on Lai Erniang, but he was a taciturn man and liked to keep his thoughts to himself.
Zhang Guocai didn't say a word, and Lai Erniang never asked.
They took good care of Jiang Yun and hoped that she would recover soon.
But in the current situation, they found that Jiang Yun was still saying one thing and thinking another.
I clearly wanted to leave with them, but I couldn't help but refuse. When the person really left, I began to regret it.
Jiang Yun was so stubborn that Lai Erniang didn't know what to do with her.
Jiang Yun is currently unable to speak due to mental illness.
Lai Erniang was afraid of irritating her and didn't even dare to say a harsh word to her.
There was a sudden knock on the gate of the yard. Lai Erniang thought that some business was coming and looked up in surprise.
I didn’t expect that the person coming over was a village cadre, the other party said anxiously.
"Jiang Li called again. Who of you will answer the phone?"
Lai Erniang was about to speak when Zhang Guocai, who had been working seriously with his head down, raised his head and spoke quickly.
“I’ll go!”
"Okay, the call has been coming for a while, Jiang Li is waiting anxiously, if you want to go, go quickly."
"Okay, I'll be right there. Sorry for the trip."
Zhang Guocai politely handed the other party the pipe he rolled himself. Although it was not a very good pipe, it made the other party feel respected and smiled more often.
"It's okay, it's okay. We're all from the same village. It's no big deal to make a trip."
Zhang Guocai didn't even have time to wash his hands, he just stood up and walked out.
"Do you want to come with me?"
Zhang Guocai had already walked to the door, then turned around and asked Lai Erniang a question.
Jiang Li had been away for some time, and Zhang Guocai answered the two calls he made previously.
Lai Erniang came to this strange village for Jiang Li, and now that they haven't seen each other for a while, she naturally misses him a lot.
As soon as Zhang Guocai opened his mouth to ask, Lai Erniang quickly stood up and dusted herself off.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Lai Erniang had a bright smile on her face because she was happy. She was worried about Jiang Yun being alone at home, so she couldn't help but give him some advice before leaving.
"Jiang Yun, let's go call your sister and be back in a while."
As soon as Lai Erniang finished speaking, Jiang Yun, who had been sitting in the corner without any reaction, suddenly stood up and trotted after them.
"You want to go too?"
Lai Erniang looked at Jiang Yun in surprise and asked. You know, the last few times when home called, this little girl didn't even raise her eyelids, and seemed to have no interest in this matter at all.
Unexpectedly, this time, they had no intention of letting him go, but Jiang Yun took the initiative to follow.
Zhang Guocai was worried that Jiang Li and others would be anxious, so he ran over first.
Lai Erniang held Jiang Yun's hand, and the two of them then went to the village office.
When they arrived, Zhang Guocai had already started chatting with Jiang Li.
In order not to make Jiang Li worry, Zhang Guocai still reported good news but not bad news.
Jiang Li brought his younger brother and children to the provincial capital. What he was most worried about was his younger sister Jiang Yun. He would ask about her situation every time he called.
Zhang Guocai never tells the truth. Every time Jiang Li asks him, he says everything is fine.
Jiang Li actually didn't believe it, but she was forced to make this decision.
Shen Changan and his brother both wanted her to go to the provincial capital, but his sister didn't want to see her and often contradicted her.
In order to prevent her mood from getting worse, Jiang Li had no choice but to follow her wishes and keep her in Jiangjia Village.
She often calls to ask about things, but in fact she just wants to be reassured.
As long as she knows that her sister is fine, it doesn't matter whether she is her sister or not. Jiang Li is satisfied.
Zhang Guocai was not good at speaking, and he always repeated the same few words over and over again.
Lai Erniang couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to take the microphone.
"You must be tired after talking so much. Let me talk to Jiang Li."
Zhang Guocai quickly covered the microphone and warned, "Don't talk nonsense. You can't let Jiang Li worry about the situation at home. Got it?"
Lai Erniang nodded and said with certainty: "Don't worry, I am a person of measure. I know what to say and what not to say."
Only after getting Lai Erniang's guarantee did Zhang Guo dare to let go of the microphone and hand it to her.
Lai Erniang answered the phone, and Jiang Li's voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"Hello? Xiao Li, are you doing okay in the provincial capital?"
Jiang Li on the other end of the phone smiled and nodded, "Aunt, I'm doing well in the provincial capital. Are you and Uncle used to being at home these days? Has Jiang Yun been obedient every day? Is his condition getting better?"
Jiang Li had asked his uncle these questions before, and now he couldn't help but ask them again.
Lai Erniang hesitated for a moment, and the sensitive Jiang Li immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Aunt, is Jiang Yun's current condition not very good? Uncle has been refusing to tell me the truth. Can you tell me the truth?"
Jiang Li's anxious voice came through the microphone. Lai Erniang held the microphone tightly, not knowing how to answer.
She is an honest person and lying is not in her dictionary.
Although Zhang Guocai was hiding the situation from Jiang Yun for Jiang Li's own good.
Lai Erniang, however, believed that Jiang Li was Jiang Yun's sister and she had the right to know Jiang Yun's true situation.
But before she answered the phone, Zhang Guocai had already reminded her repeatedly.
Now that Jiang Li had asked the point, Lai Erniang didn't know whether she should answer truthfully or lie with Zhang Guocai?
