Chapter 163:
"Grandma, I didn't bother to come today." Lin Jiahuan whispered.
"I know." Hu Qiaoyue's tone was calm, which made Lin Jiahuan feel more at ease. "It's not important. Jiahuan, don't take it seriously."
"Yeah."
"Help grandma spread the quilt." Hu Qiaoyue opened the cabinet and took out the quilt. A neat quilt.
Lin Jiahuan hurried forward and spread the quilt flat on the bed with her. Only then did she realize that there were thick sewing needles on the quilt, which was a half-turned quilt.
"I can go without the quilt..." She blurted out in a hurry.
Hu Qiaoyue was immediately amused, knowing that this child was troublesome for her, and she felt distressed again.
"There is no one who sleeps without a quilt. He rummaged through it very quickly, and there wasn't much left."
Lin Siwei was also rummaging through boxes and cabinets nearby and didn't know what he was looking for. When he heard what they said, he turned around and said, "It's all my fingers." Goodbye, I can't do such a small job, so I have to work hard."
"You go do the big things." Hu Qiaoyue didn't even look back, and just threw it away.
"Hey, it's only been two minutes since the family reunion came, and grandma doesn't love me very much anymore."
Lin Siwei rolled his eyes and said something coquettish, which immediately made Hu Qiaoyue laugh.
"Listen, you also know that Jia Huan has only been here for two minutes, but you are jealous, and you still have the nerve to be a sister."
Lin Jia Huan chuckled, and finally took out an enamel basin and put two towels in it. A bar of soap, a toothbrush, and an enamel water glass.
"Jiahuan, this is yours."
Lin Jiahuan quickly declined: "No, I brought it."
"Grandma knew you were coming, so she had prepared a brand new one for you. When you get to your new home, use the new one. "Okay." Lin Siwei shook his head and said, "Let's go and show you the bathroom."
Very few ordinary families have bathrooms these days. In winter, they go to a public bathroom, and in summer, they use a big wooden basin, and the whole family takes turns with the door closed. wash.
So Lin Jiahuan thought that Lin Siwei was taking her to find the toilet. She also thought, why does grandma's family build the toilet in the house instead of in the yard?
As soon as Lin Siwei turned on the light, Lin Jiahuan was stunned.
She knew the bathtub and had seen it in movies, but this one was...
"This is the flush toilet. This is where you will go to the toilet in the future. This is the bathtub. I will boil the water later, and you can take a bath before going to bed."
"Okay. "The Lin family responded and placed their basin on the cement platform next to the wall.
Lin Siwei banged her head: "Oh, look, I prepared this and that, but I forgot to prepare a towel rack for you."
She ran to the yard and ran back again, with two more clothes hangers in her hand: "First of all, I forgot to prepare a towel rack for you." Hang up the towels and ask someone to put one in later."
As he said that, Lin Siwei quickly hung up the two towels in the basin.
"Si...Sister Siwei, can I put my things in the room upstairs first?" Lin Jiahuan asked.
"Okay."
The two of them each carried a big bag, and Lin Jiahuan grabbed the bag on the table. She had been holding it in her hands like a treasure before.
"What is this?" Lin Siwei asked.
"They are all books." Lin Jiahuan said.
Lin Siwei smiled: "I know you love reading, and grandma even bought you a bookshelf."
"Really?"
Lin Jiahuan suddenly felt energetic, and her steps up the stairs became brisk, and she ran up the stairs. On the second floor, he even ran ahead of Lin Siwei.
The second floor has the same layout as the downstairs, with a hall in the middle and a room on each side.
Lin Jiahuan ran so fast that he didn't know which one was his, so he turned around and looked at the stairs.
"This room is yours." Lin Siwei walked up and opened the door to the west room.
The light cord is right next to the door. When you pull the switch, the fluorescent lamp illuminates the room exceptionally brightly.
The furnishings in the room are not complicated. There is a simple two-sided bed in the middle. It is different from the old-fashioned carved bed in Hu Qiaoyue's room downstairs. It is a relatively trendy style. There is a large wardrobe and a chest of drawers against the east wall, a desk by the window, and a lamp on the table. On the right side of the desk, against the west wall, is a bookshelf as tall as one person.
Behind the bed, next to the north window, there are two large boxes. The boxes are covered with woven strands of empty cloth to make them look less heavy and give them a gentle flavor.
"I see you don't have many things. These cabinets should be enough. If you need anything else, just tell me."
"That's enough. I don't need anything else."
Lin Jiahuan said it sincerely.
This room was half the size of the room she and Lin Jiale shared. It was completely beyond her expectation. How could it not be enough?
Especially that bookcase.
She remembered that her parents had always wanted a bookcase and had gone to furniture stores to see it several times. After coming back, Lin Zhengqing measured his bedroom again and again at home, and found that there was really no room to squeeze in, so he had to give up.
In fact, there are quite a lot of books at home. After all, Lin Zhengqing and Liu Yuxiu are both teachers.
But those books were all sent to the attic. Yes, it was the attic where Lin Siwei lived.
No wonder Lin Jiale was so angry. Who doesn't want to live in a big house?
When she thought of Lin Jiale, Lin Jiahuan's heart twitched again. If she doesn't come too, where will she stay? Is it the empty front room facing the street? Or should we drive Sister Siwei away?
Unconsciously, she had already called Lin Siwei her sister in her heart, and she didn't feel awkward at all.
Lin Siwei helped her organize the books in the bag onto the bookshelf, sighing in his heart that Lin Jiahuan really loved reading, and the books were of good quality.
It would be great if she didn't get sick.
The two large bags of clothing were quickly placed in the large wardrobe, which only occupied one floor.
"It's really enough. I probably won't need those two boxes at the back. Sister Siwei, please ask grandma to put things in later. I really don't need them."
Lin Siwei smiled and said, "Grandma has the boxes herself. No need for this."
"Oh, I thought this box was old. I thought
it belonged to grandma, but now it's ours. Grandma gave us two boxes for our daughter. The dowry for us.”
Lin Jiahuan's face turned red: "I won't get married."
Lin Siwei was amused by her: "That's what I said, grandma's best wish. There is something in the box, do you want to see it?" "
Really? "What is it?" Lin Jiahuan became curious, walked to the box, carefully opened the cover, and opened the brass lock, "The lid is very heavy
, and it won't be damaged by anything." Lin Siwei said.
The lid of the daughter's box was opened, and inside was a dark blanket, two shawls, and a fox fur coat.
It is far different from Lin Jiahuan's age.
"Is this also the dowry grandma gave us?" She was a little unsure.
"Do you feel old-fashioned?" Lin Siwei picked up a woolen shawl. It felt very good. Even if it was an old thing decades ago, he could still see its value. "They are all old things from the Hu family. Grandma left it to We are here as a souvenir of the Hu family."
"I understand." Lin Jiahuan picked up the fox fur coat and rubbed her face gently. The tickling and gentle touch made her feel... The feeling of hugging.
Everything here, she guessed, might be valuable. But she felt that it didn't matter whether it was valuable or not. What was important was that everything here was specially prepared for her by grandma and Sister Siwei.
Unique and prepared with all your heart.
When the two put away their things and went downstairs, Hu Qiaoyue had already used up one thread and was about to restart another one, threading it hard against the light.
"Grandma, let me do it." Lin Jiahuan took the needle and thread, threaded it dexterously, moved the small stool next to him and sat down, continuing along the place where Hu Qiaoyue had just stitched.
Hu Qiaoyue was surprised: "You know how to turn the quilt?"
"Well, I helped my mother turn the quilt at home. She is busy at work and sometimes has no time. I will help during the holidays."
Hu Qiaoyue looked at her, and she was really skillful in doing so. The children not only know how to read, but also do housework at home.
In the past, when the twins came to our house, they just thought they were a pair of spoiled little girls. In fact, even if a bowl of water is held evenly, there will always be a preference for one and a preference for the other.
Maybe Liu Yuxiu herself didn't realize that the grievances and tears were all borne by the child with a better temper.
Lin Siwei saw this and quietly retreated. She left this quiet moment to her grandparents and grandson, who were spending their first time together. She went to the front room to boil water and take a good bath for herself and Lin Jiahuan.
In the evening, Lin Jiahuan and Lin Siwei finished talking to their grandma, then turned off the lights for her, and they went upstairs together.
Lin Siwei escorted Lin Jiahuan to the door of the room, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you scared of sleeping alone? Do you want me to accompany you?"
Lin Jiahuan thought for a while and shook his head bravely: "Let me try it alone."
" Okay, I'm right across the way. If anything happens, just call me."
This night, Lin Siwei deliberately left the light in the hall. She didn't go to sleep immediately. She first wrote down some things left in the factory during the day, sorted out what work she had to do at work tomorrow, then spread out the letter paper and wrote a letter to Gu Qia.
"Dear Brother Xiao Qia, we have moved to No. 265..."
She wrote quickly, and she really had many, many things to say to Gu Qia. I wrote for a while, then penned my pen and calculated for a while, whether I had contacted the army, whether I had settled in, and whether I missed myself?
As she finished writing and stuffing the envelope, she heard a slight noise from the room opposite.
He tiptoed over and listened for a while, but it was Lin Jiahuan who was turning over.
The lights in the room were turned off. It seemed that Lin Jiahuan was also trying hard to fall asleep, but many things were effective without hard work.
When she thought about her going to get her results tomorrow, on such an important day, her greedy father sent her to an unfamiliar environment.
Can you prevent her from feeling stressed?
Lin Siwei suddenly felt that compared to someone like himself who had never been loved, someone like Lin Jiahuan seemed to be more pitiable.
She always thought she was loved, but one day she suddenly discovered that the past ten years had been all lies.
There is love, but not much.
Love can be compared, and it can be compared with others.
Love can be measured and looked at again and again.
Love can be exchanged. Once the temptation is big enough, it can push you out immediately.
This is how Lin Jiahuan was pushed out.
