Chapter 004
Three days in the attic was a long time, enough to make him a monster several times. Lin Siwei breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling really satisfied.
She was extremely well-behaved, knowing that the right to speak was now in Liu Yuxiu's hands, so she pretended to be eager and said: "I can sleep anywhere, I promise not to disturb you. Aunt Liu, please point me to a place."
She picked up the sack and threw it over her shoulder... ...
but hit the scumbag dad.
Hearing a scream of "Ah", Lin Zhengqing covered his forehead, his teeth and mouth cracked in pain.
Lin Siwei was very sorry: "I'm sorry, dad, I didn't mean to do it. It's all because the house is too small. Although my house in the country is dilapidated, it is quite spacious. Not to mention throwing sacks, my mother can throw faces..."
I mentioned you again. mom! Lin Zhengqing looked at Lin Siwei resentfully, his forehead hurting even more.
Liu Yuxiu, on the other hand, looked on coldly and had no intention of showing any concern.
I promised to be filial. Lin Siwei stepped forward and said, "I'll blow it for you. My mother said it won't hurt anymore."
She was short, so she grabbed Lin Zhengqing's shoulder without any explanation, raised her little mouth and blew hard.
"Okay, okay, stop blowing." Lin Zhengqing was upset. His head originally swelled into two sizes, but now it's fine. With such a collision, it will swell into three sizes.
Liu Yuxiu couldn't stand this kind of scene of "a filial daughter and an unkind father". She said with a sullen face: "Either attic or floor. Whatever you want. Get out of here in three days. There is no lid under the bridge." After
that, she walked quickly. Enter the room and slam the door.
"Yu Xiu!" Lin Zhengqing chased after him and was directly hit by the door on the tip of his nose. A bag had just been hit on his head, and his nose hurt again, and his expression became even more distorted.
"Dad, blow it." Lin Siwei, the filial daughter, lost no time and came forward again.
Lin Zhengqing dodged to the side with a frightened expression of "I can't bear it".
"Dad, I performed well today, didn't I? You see Aunt Liu accepted me. And I came directly to the house, instead of going to school to find you. Am I particularly sensible?"
In fact, she had just found out that the scumbag father was Principal, it's just a casual comment. But the look on his face that begged for praise still touched Lin Zhengqing's heart.
Lin Zhengqing: Thank you.
...
Between the ground floor and the attic, Lin Siwei chose the latter.
The floor covering can only be laid in the living room. It is laid down at night and must be put away during the day. This method is not good for taking root.
The attic is different.
Lin Siwei climbed up the creaking bamboo ladder and confirmed with just one glance -
this was her Lin Siwei's territory.
"I'll sleep here." Lin Siwei said cheerfully.
Lin Zhengqing threw a mat over: "I don't have any extra pillows at home..."
Lin Siwei immediately answered: "I can make do if it's okay, thank you dad."
The thank you was sweet and loud.
The kind that can be heard throughout the house. It is estimated that Liu Yuxiu will vomit blood again.
Although there was no electricity in the attic, there was a skylight. With the moonlight coming in through the skylight, Lin Siwei laid out the mat.
Strictly speaking, it is not considered "paved", because the attic is very small, and there are a lot of debris piled up. The mat can barely be spread on the open ground, and the tail is rolled up by half a foot.
Fortunately, she is also short, and being half a foot short does not affect her ability to stretch her legs.
Lin Siwei used a sack as a pillow, looked up at the moon outside the sky window, planned tomorrow in a moment, and then fell asleep.
Lin Siwei slept very well that night as he was extremely tired from the long journey during the day.
Lin Siwei woke up when the first ray of morning light shone into the attic from the skylight. She woke up hungry.
She only ate a little dry food last night, and when she got here, her father didn't care whether she had dinner or not, and just fell asleep. Now that the accommodation problem was solved, Lin Siwei decided to treat his stomach well.
She hid the sack in a broken cabinet and crept down the bamboo ladder.
The room was quiet, obviously the whole family hadn't gotten up yet. Lin Siwei carried the coal stove outside the door...ahem...outside the yard to be precise, and started to make a proper fire.
Some people in Fishbone Alley got up early and were shocked when they saw this scene.
Aunt Feng, who was across the street from No. 43, immediately stopped scrubbing the toilet: "Yuxiu asked you to light the stove?"
Subtext: Has your stepmother abused you?
Lin Siwei stuffed the newspaper into the coal stove and said, "No. I'm used to getting up early in the countryside. Seeing that they were still sleeping, I lit a stove to save Aunt Liu some trouble."
Tsk tsk, Aunt Feng is so sensible. They all feel sorry for her.
"I see you are pretty good at making fires. It's hard to live in the countryside, right?" Aunt Feng asked again.
Aunt Feng didn't mean it maliciously. On the one hand, she looked at Lin Siwei's thin appearance and wondered if he had been mistreated by Lin Zhengqing. On the other hand, it was true that she felt distressed. The Lin family's twin girls had never seen a stove lit.
There is still a difference between those raised in the country and those raised in the city.
Lin Siwei didn't take it seriously and didn't speculate on Aunt Feng's motives. After all, she worked as a village girl in the countryside for a while. Making a fire was not a problem for her, and she didn't feel it was painful. She smiled and said, "Country kids can do these things, and it's not hard at all. My mother loves me very much and doesn't let her do it." When I
mentioned Su Hongmei, Aunt Feng became interested. She threw the toilet brush aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is your mother? Is she still in the country?"
Lin Siwei's smile suddenly disappeared. Became lonely.
"My mother is sick... gone..." Her voice was low and inaudible.
Aunt Feng waved her hands, wanting to slap herself: "Bah, bah, bah, look what I asked. Little girl, don't be angry with Auntie."
The annoyance was very sincere, and after she was annoyed, she explained to herself: "That's right, think about it. If your mother was still here, she probably wouldn't have come to seek refuge with your father.
"What 's
your name?" Weiwei also sounds good, like Weiwei. She is a warm-hearted person, thinking about "Weiwei" who has no mother, and her father has not lived together since childhood, and she was born so skinny, no different from an orphan. She was definitely not used to being alone in the city, so her unkindness to her mother immediately broke out.
"Weiwei, if you don't understand anything in the future, just come to Aunt Feng. I'm retired and I have time to teach you."
Lin Siwei felt something in his heart. He felt that Aunt Feng was really an angel dropped from heaven. Where could he find such a good living teacher?
"That's good. Aunt Feng, please don't find me annoying. I'm a bit stupid."
Aunt Feng saw the child saying that he was stupid and lighting a fire quickly. She sighed in her heart, this is really a good child. It's a pity that he is in the countryside. She was born black and thin. I wonder if the city can raise her back.
In the alley, Lin Siwei was talking and laughing with his neighbors, but it was a different scene in House No. 43.
Liu Yuxiu got up and wanted to light a fire, but found that the coal stove was gone.
"It was robbed? Where is our stove?"
Lin Jiale, her twin sister, who got up earlier than her, was brushing her teeth in the yard and said to Liu Yuxiu through the window: "That man took it out and made a fire outside."
That man ? Liu Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then realized it was Lin Siwei. She has a big head, and there is an extra person in the family. It really sticks in her eyes and haunts her heart all the time.
"Can she make a fire?" Liu Yuxiu muttered, "Let's waste our briquettes."
Lin Jiale said: "Oh, she may not be able to make a fire, but she will definitely show off. The yard is not enough for her to show off."
Liu Yuxiu was shocked, her daughter said this A word of wake-up call.
You Lin Siwei, you know how to show off to others at a young age. This is to give yourself authority.
Lin Jiale finished brushing his teeth and washed his toothbrush. When he entered the room, he lowered his voice and asked, "Mom, is she really the child of dad and another woman?"
Liu Yuxiu didn't want to admit this fact: "Kid, don't worry about so much. You It's serious to study with Huanhuan and go to college. She hasn't lived in our house for a long time."
Lin Jiale disagreed: "If she is really my father's biological daughter, how can you get rid of her?"
This girl is so heart-wrenching.
Liu Yuxiu gritted her teeth: "Then let your dad get out with her. Whoever caused the mess will clean up the mess."
As he spoke, Lin Siwei's clear voice came into the yard: "Aunt Liu, get up. I've built the stove and washed the rice. Okay."
The sound was loud and crisp, and could be heard clearly outside the yard.
Anyone who hears these words will say that this girl from the Lin family is really sensible, capable, and filial. The Lin family has really found a treasure.
Only Liu Yuxiu felt that she had stepped on shit.
She looked at Lin Siwei with a cold face: "You don't have to do this, we have our own arrangements for my family's affairs."
She took the briquette stove from Lin Siwei's hand and carried it in to cook porridge.
Lin Siwei rubbed his hands, turned around and saw Lin Jiale washing his face, and immediately had a new goal.
"Are you my eldest sister or my little sister?" Lin Siwei asked with a smile.
Lin Jiale looked at her: "You are so short, you don't look like my sister."
This was actually very rude.
But how could Lin Siwei care about this? She nodded: "I'm two years older than you, so of course I'm your sister. Even though the food in the countryside is not good, it's hard to carry loads, so I'm short."
Then she looked at Lin Jiale's hand with envy. The towel: "Your face towel is so beautiful, there are flowers on it."
These words made Lin Jiale feel superior.
"This is called a towel. Don't you use towels to wash your face in the countryside?"
Lin Siwei shook his head: "We all get some water from the well and wipe it with our hands. How can such a good thing come from? It looks so soft..."
Cooperate Her envious tone and expression were spot on.
Lin Jiale was so envious of her and felt that the towel was indeed softer and more fragrant, and he washed his face more slowly, as if he was holding some solemn ceremony.
Lin Siwei looked at her behavior and smiled secretly in his heart.
Disposable face towels have become popular in later generations. Of course Lin Siwei would not be jealous of her towel. Even Lin Siwei, a real village girl, has used towels. Lin Siwei's performance was just to match his status as a country girl, to relax the Lin family's vigilance, and to give this little girl a sense of superiority.
Sure enough, Lin Jiale rolled his eyes at her: "It's good to know. Things in the city are easy to use. Stay away from my towel. I'll go to class later, so don't steal it at home."
Lin Siwei almost laughed out loud.
Although he was still wary of her, he finally accepted the reality of her life in this home.
When the aroma of porridge wafted from the stove, Lin Zhengqing and Lin Jiahuan finally got up.
Lin Siwei's intrusion made Lin Zhengqing feel extremely guilty. He didn't dare to look at Lin Siwei. After brushing his teeth, he went to the alley to buy fried dough sticks.
Bought five.
The five of them sat around the Eight Immortals table to have breakfast. Lin Siwei was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. A bowl of porridge and a fried dough stick were eaten in an instant.
As she wiped her mouth, she realized that the whole family was staring at her.
