Chapter 040 Raising a Crooked
Lin Jiale immediately became anxious when he heard Xiao Huiyu say "the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family", even if it was a misunderstanding.
"How could Brother Xiao Qia fall in love with a country bumpkin like Lin Siwei! Brother Xiao Qia is not your Ding Shaowu!"
Xiao Huiyu was not happy to hear this: "Ding Shaowu, if someone has a name, it's not called Ding Shaowu. And Ding Shaowu didn't look at it either. Go to Lin Siwei, it's Lin Siwei who is shamelessly pestering others."
"Brother Xiao Qia didn't like Lin Siwei either," Lin Jiale counterattacked, "Lin Siwei is very scheming. He only knows how to make others happy by deliberately trying to please the Gu family's grandparents. You can get close to Brother Xiao Qia."
In order to prove that what he said was true, Lin Jiale also recommended Lin Jiahuan: "Jia Huan, don't you think so? After Brother Xiao Qia returned to the army, Lin Siwei would never come to Fishbone Alley again. It's just for Brother Xiao Qia."
He kept saying "Brother Xiao Qia", which made Lin Jiahuan feel uncomfortable. But she was originally reluctant to discuss the topic of Gu Qia, fearing that her petty thoughts would be seen by others. Now that Lin Jiale has named him, I feel uncomfortable and don't want to go along with what she says.
Lin Jiahuan said: "Why is she here? To cause trouble for us? I think she is right not to come. You are so talkative, why don't you go and coax the grandparents of the Gu family, or get closer to Gu Xia. Lin Siwei is annoying, You talk a lot."
"You..." Lin Jiale didn't expect to be attacked by Lin Jiahuan at this time. He was choked and unable to speak, and his face turned red unwillingly.
Xiao Huiyu felt happy when she saw that the sisters were having internal strife.
Not to mention that Lin Jiale had just attacked Ding Shaowu, but in the past, her family always praised the sisters for their good looks and good grades, and treated Xiao Huiyu as nothing. In fact, she didn't like the sisters much, she just hated Lin Siwei more.
"Jia Le, I think you should stop being so harsh. How much do you know? I see that your little brother Qia is very proactive, giving away clothes and food. How do you say that idiom? In front of and behind the house..."
Lin Jiahuan interrupted her: "Did you mean to say that the saddle is in front of the horse and the back is behind the horse?"
"That's right. The guy in the saddle is in front of the horse and behind the horse. He is extremely attentive. He brought things to our school, and the whole school saw it. How many were hung on the bicycle? Bag, the two of them were flirting in school and they didn't know how to avoid suspicion. The classmates said that they were probably in love with each other!"
Xiao Huiyu spoke quickly and urgently, like a machine gun. The sisters were stunned.
"How is that possible?" Lin Jiale screamed, "Don't talk nonsense about Brother Xiao Qia!"
Lin Jiahuan wanted to calm down: "You mean, the things were sent by Gu Qia?"
She didn't want to shout like Lin Jiale in front of others. "Brother Xiao Qia", it seems that shouting this will reveal his little thoughts. She wants to hide herself deeply.
Xiao Huiyu really reacted greatly when she saw the two sisters, and she felt very happy. It is true that Gu Qia sent things to school and caused a sensation in the whole school, but to say that they are in love with each other is Xiao Huiyu's fabrication.
Although the students love to spread gossip, they respect the fighting heroes very much. When Lin Siwei said that Gu Qia was the son of her father's friend, everyone believed it. It is normal for children to be entrusted by their elders to send something, and they will not make random guesses.
She sneered: "It's a pity, you don't know. Gu Qia sent so many delicious food, it was piled up on a whole table. Lin Siwei didn't finish it for a month. He was so drunk every day in our dormitory. This Brother Xiao Qia bought it, that one was bought by Brother Xiao Qia... Haha, we can hear the calluses in our ears.
"Oh, by the way, she also received a letter a few days ago, and she was giggling while reading it . , just like eating honey, it must have been written to her by Gu Qia. "
If Xiao Huiyu knew that she had made an accurate guess on the spot, she would have admired her imagination.
At this time, Lin Jiale's face was completely white, he was pinching the corner of his clothes, and he couldn't even say a curse word. The Lin family Huan lowered her head. She was upset, but she tried hard to hide it, fearing that she would cry.
Originally, she wanted to visit her grandpa and get some dirty information about Lin Siwei, but she didn't expect that it was all bad news that Lin Jiale didn't want to hear. Feeling extremely depressed. After finally finishing lunch,
Lin Jiale couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Mom, don't you think it's dangerous to leave Lin Siwei outside?"
Liu Yuxiu was shocked, thinking that Lin Jiale knew about the demolition of Yangchuan Road.
"What do you mean? " Isn't it dangerous to leave it at home?
Lin Jiale said: "She is attracting bees and butterflies outside and has ruined the reputation of our Lin family. " People would point their fingers at my dad’s spine and curse him. "
Liu Yuxiu actually regrets a little. She feels that she was carried away by anger. Looking back now, it may not be a good thing to drive Lin Siwei away. Although she is indeed an eyesore at home, now that she is released, she has become a hidden danger. She can't see it. Especially the demolition
of Yangchuan Road, she must not get any advantage
...
Lin Siwei is currently at No. 281 Yangchuan Road.
Since she met her grandma, she will come here on Sundays during school breaks to help her with her daily life. Assistance.
She was very good at fetching water, emptying spittoons, and doing laundry. She also helped her grandma prepare all the supplies needed for the week. Fortunately, the supplies were simple these days, and Lin Siwei also learned how to pickle them under her grandma's guidance. Pickles and dried radishes.
Now that Hu Qiaoyue has the confidence to keep Lin Siwei for dinner, the grandfather and grandson sit on the small square table with a bowl of rice, a plate of pickles, and a piece of fermented bean curd, and they eat with gusto.
Hu Qiaoyue will tell her some past events when she was young. Only then did I realize that my grandma was actually a female scholar.
She was a capitalist, but not a very rich one. Before the liberation, the family fled with Xinruan, and she was abandoned while studying in a girls' school. It wasn't intentional, but she certainly didn't try her best,
so she had a hard time later, which made Lin Zhengqing's reputation bad. Because of this, Lin Zhengqing broke off the relationship with her and took the initiative to join the first batch. Of course, it was expected that Lin Zhengqing would not endure hardship .
Later, in order to return to the city to ask for help, he found Liu Lagen, and when he went to the Liu family to deliver gifts, he keenly discovered that the second daughter of the Liu family had a good impression of him, so what happened next.
Regarding Lin Zhengqing's part, Hu Qiaoyue spoke cryptically,
but Lin Siwei could tell that her grandma didn't agree with her son's actions, but since her son could do such a thing, she wouldn't . He would care about his mother's thoughts.
After returning to the city, Lin Zhengqing rarely visited her. Firstly, he was afraid that people would say that he was not firm in his position. Secondly, Liu Yuxiu looked down on the Lin family. Lin Zhengqing had also been with several cousins in the past. After seeing Liu Yuxiu's expression, Everyone stayed away.
Hu Qiaoyue looks cold on the outside, but after all, she is still in her sixties, so how can she not feel lonely. The son's family came rarely, so when Lin Siwei called her grandma downstairs that day, she couldn't tell whether it was her granddaughter's voice.
Now I finally have a junior to get close to. From being wary at first to accepting later, Hu Qiaoyue no longer sits at the window on Sundays. She simply moved a small bamboo stool, moved it down the stairs little by little, and then sat at the door to watch the street scene.
Neighbors have also seen Lin Siwei supporting her for walks. When they see Hu Qiaoyue sitting downstairs, they will joke: "Ms. Lin has been burned by the sun. When she came back to the door, she didn't even open it. Now she is sitting at the door waiting. "
Hu Qiaoyue didn't hide it: "A kid only goes home once a week. It's outrageous to see the door locked when he gets home."
"That's right. The first time I saw grandma when I got home, I felt warm."
Hu Qiaoyue was very proud of her neighbor's joking, and thought to herself, you must be envious. When your granddaughter comes to visit, she will eat and use your food. My granddaughter also brings me food every time.
Lin Siwei: Thank you for your consultation.
Today Lin Siwei stayed at grandma's house for a whole day again, watching the sun set in the west.
In November, the days are much shorter than before.
"You should go back to school quickly. It will get dark if it is too late. The school is so remote and it is not safe after dark." Hu Qiaoyue urged her to leave, but she was actually reluctant to leave.
Lin Siwei helped her make the bed, patted the quilt, and was satisfied: "The sun is really in time today. This quilt smells good after being exposed to the sun for a day. Grandma, you can have a good dream when you sleep at night."
Hu Qiaoyue touched the quilt, and there was still sunlight on it . The remaining warmth in my heart was really emotional.
To be honest, she hadn't sunbathing in the quilt for several years. The most she could do was put the quilt on the window and bask in the sun without pain or itching. Lin Siwei put it directly downstairs to dry, so how could it be the same?
When leaving, Hu Qiaoyue stuffed Lin Siwei another five dollars.
This is already the third five bucks. Hu Qiaoyue's monthly retirement salary is only 25 yuan, which is a huge amount of money.
Lin Siwei didn't refuse, saying thank you and putting it in the yellow satchel, but he had already thought about buying a knife of meat next time to make bacon for his grandma.
"Grandma, please don't go downstairs. I can leave by myself." Lin Siwei said.
No matter how willing Hu Qiaoyue was, the granddaughter she welcomed home in person must be sent out in person.
Lin Siwei didn't mind that she was slow, and talked to make her happy. The two of them were talking and laughing until they finally reached the door. A man came over on a bicycle. When he saw them, he shouted: "Mom, why did you come downstairs?"
But it was Lin Zhengqing.
Then he asked: "Siwei, why are you here?"
Hu Qiaoyue didn't say anything, she just twitched the corners of her lips. She was probably thinking, if you don't come to fulfill your filial piety, why don't you allow your children to come?
But in front of Lin Siwei, he held it in and said nothing.
