Chapter 173: Growing up
Hu Qiaoyue did have the intention to protect Lin Siwei, but it was definitely not to marry into the Gu family.
Because Lin Siwei didn't need it at all.
The Gu family treats her well because of her own excellence. Gu Qia likes her because she is lively and vital, and has nothing to do with her origin or family.
It can only be said that Lin Zhengqing is that kind of person himself, so he cannot understand other people's ambition to transcend themselves.
Not only did he underestimate Lin Siwei, he also underestimated Hu Qiaoyue and the Gu family.
He even underestimated Lin Jiahuan, who was sitting opposite him and had gradually grown up.
He didn't get the answer he wanted from Lin Jiahuan, and he heard that all the calligraphy and painting belonged to the government. He was very upset. He originally thought of sending Lin Jiahuan back to Yangchuan Road after dinner, so as to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter, and implant it at the same time. Some of the ideas that I had to conquer my grandma and get the property were completely gone at this moment.
"It's getting late, you should go back quickly. Do you want to send it off? I think it's not too late, you should be able to do it yourself, right?"
Lin Jiahuan was already calm.
Lin Zhengqing asked and answered himself, answered and asked himself again, and the answer was actually in the question. I just don’t want to give it away.
"I can do it." Lin Jiahuan said calmly.
The 35-brand clock on the chest of drawers sounded the time on time, "Dang Dang Dang..." it struck eight times.
At eight o'clock, it was the time she had made an appointment with Lin Siwei.
The biological father who gave birth to her and raised her is no longer as good as a half-sister whom she has known for less than half a year. She is still a sister who is owed by the whole family and carries hatred.
"I'm leaving."
She walked out of the room and saw Liu Yuxiu sitting at the Eight Immortals table. She didn't know what she was thinking.
"Mom, I'm back."
Liu Yuxiu stood up and handed over a big bag on the table: "I've packed the summer clothes for you. Can they fit in the cabinet over there?"
Lin Jiahuan opened the bag and took a look. , all old clothes from the past.
Lin Jiale obviously wore a new skirt today. After I left, my mother would no longer buy two pieces of clothes.
She had never waited for a unique object of her own, but as soon as she left this home, Lin Jiale got it easily.
A burst of thoughts suddenly came to mind, and Lin Jiahuan said: "I can fit it in. Grandma gave me a large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bookshelf, and two daughter's trunks. I can fit ten times more clothes in
the room ." The door suddenly opened, and Lin Jiale stood at the door and sneered: "Who are you telling it to?"
The Lin family laughed and said, "Of course I'm telling it to you."
"What's the big deal? No matter how much grandma gives you, it belongs to grandma. I'm just borrowing it from you. Don't go to Yangchuan Road and treat yourself like a eldest lady."
Lin Jiahuan looked at her with extremely calm eyes: "Jia Le, we all have a time bomb. Mine has already exploded. But I got through the pain. You can take care of yourself."
"What do you mean?" Lin Jiale rushed out.
"Jia Le, shut up." Liu Yuxiu stopped in a low voice, and then said to the Lin family, "You also believe your aunt's lies, she is jealous of our family. Of course, you have recovered now, and I am also very happy."
The Lin family Huan took a deep look at Liu Yuxiu: "I am receiving treatment. The emotionally stable Lin Jiahuan you see now is the Lin Jiahuan who is gradually recovering after receiving treatment. But when the doctor and grandma were talking, I heard outside the door, the doctor asked "Grandma, do you have any family history?"
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Jiale couldn't help but ask.
At that time, Liu Jinxiu came to the door to make a quarrel. Both sisters heard it, but Lin Jiale chose not to believe it.
But now that the doctor said so, Lin Jiale was a little scared.
"Juvenile depression."
"Never heard of it."
"I hope you are the lucky one who has not inherited it."
After Lin Jiahuan finished speaking, she left home without looking back - no, her former home.
Lin Zhengqing came out of the room and suddenly asked Liu Yuxiu: "Do you feel that Jia Huan is so strange?"
Liu Yuxiu glanced at him: "She has lost her brain and her personality has changed drastically. Is there anything strange about it? But... the old woman actually took her to see a doctor?"
"Who dares to live with a psychopath? Of course the old woman chooses to treat her. What if something happens to her?"
Lin Jiale said harshly, and after saying this, he slammed the door and went back to the room.
Lin Jiahuan, who came out of No. 43, suddenly felt that the outside world was so free. He could walk with big strides and breathe deeply.
Only after leaving that cramped house, leaving my parents and sister, I only knew how depressing that house was and how suffocating the people in that house were.
She was glad that she went to Yangchuan Road and experienced true love and tolerance before sliding into the abyss.
Lin Siwei was already waiting for her at the alley. Although she is only more than two years older, she is already so mature and so comfortable.
"Sister Siwei." Lin Jiahuan shouted and ran over as soon as he saw her.
"Let's go home." Lin Siwei shook his head.
Lin Jiahuan ran up to her and looked at her seriously: "I want to be just like you."
"Huh?" Lin Siwei was a little surprised. This "confession" was so formal that she was uncomfortable with it.
"Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" Lin Siwei asked.
Lin Jiahuan said: "I want to be an adult like you. I want to be trusted by others and trust others. I want to be cared for and care for others."
Lin Siwei smiled and put his arm around her shoulders: "If we can say such things, we Jia Huan is already an adult."
After walking a few steps, Lin Siwei suddenly laughed and whispered, "But Jia Huan, you are wrong about one thing." "In fact, I don't trust others very much
."
What I have experienced... forget it, it's a long story, and you may not understand it..."
"I understand. When you came to Jinling, I know we all embarrassed you."
"No, no, I did . That's not what happened. In fact, I don't think much about it."
What Lin Siwei was thinking about was Mr. Lin's treacherous behavior. She had been deceived and deceived others. Everyone who can stand firm is someone who has experienced painful lessons and is full of vigilance and vigilance.
But how to explain this to Lin Jiahuan.
No explanation at all.
"Trust should be a trade-off. We cannot trust others unconditionally, even our biological parents, even our brothers and sisters. Only when we have experienced ups and downs together, and have common goals and pursuits ahead, can we support each other and never forget each other. Let go, only such people can talk about trust."
"We support each other and never let go..." Lin Jiahuan repeated.
"Have you ever pulled a rubber band?" Lin Siwei asked.
Lin Jiahuan nodded.
"If two people stretch a rubber band, whoever lets go first will cause pain to the other person. We must cherish those who have stretched a rubber band together and will never let go of you."
Lin Jiahuan really understood now.
The two sisters walked together on the streets of Jinling. The early summer wind blew their hair, and Lin Jiahuan heard the sound of her growing up.
When turning into Yangchuan Road, Lin Jiahuan said softly: "Sister Siwei, do you miss Brother Qia?"
"Huh? Why is the little girl asking this?"
"I am an adult."
Lin Siwei stopped and looked up at the sky , at the end of the lunar month, there is no moon, only stars in the sky.
"I don't think about it when I'm busy at work, but when I'm alone at night... I think about it. When I miss him, I just write him a letter."
She couldn't help but smile. I remembered the letter I received from Gu Qia yesterday. The boy had not recovered from his injury. He was busy going to the martial arts competition after returning to the army. The leader did not let him go. He was so dissatisfied that he wrote two pages of letter paper just complaining. .
Lin Jiahuan said: "I see, you miss Brother Xiaoqia now."
"Huh? You can see this?" Lin Siwei clicked his tongue, "You are a high school student, study hard and don't speculate about my affairs." ."
Lin Jiahuan suddenly looked around, thinking secretly.
In fact, there was no one around. There were only a few pedestrians returning home late across the street, and they didn't pay attention to the two of them.
Lin Jiahuan was sure that no one was there, and then whispered: "What's wrong with high school students? Some of my classmates in junior high school are engaged."
Uh... sixteen years old, indeed...
Lin Siwei thought of the countryside in his memory, and it turned out that Indeed, some of my former friends got married and had children.
Although the country advocates late marriage and late childbearing, and these people cannot get a certificate if they are not old enough, the ideas of the older generation are difficult to change, and it is common for people to propose marriage at the age of sixteen.
Therefore, it is really possible for Lin Jiahuan to say that a classmate is engaged.
"You are a top student. You don't want to say that. Study hard. You will go to the capital to study at university and build the motherland."
"Stop, stop, don't change the subject by wearing a hat on me."
Lin Jiahuan was obviously more lively than before. He took Lin Siwei's arm and said, "Do you know why I just noticed that you miss Brother Xiaoqia?"
He came back again. This little girl was obviously too lively today.
Lin Siwei had no choice but to ask cooperatively: "How can you tell?"
"You will smile inexplicably, look into the distance, and there is a light in your eyes."
"Oh, you are an expert. Master Lin." Lin Siwei laughed at her, which made the Lin family happy. He laughed, "Where did you learn it? They do it one by one."
"No need to learn it." Lin Jiahuan lowered his voice again, as if he wanted to share some great secret, "Sister Siwei, let me tell you a secret , I went to ask Brother Xiaohuai a question today, and I found that Brother Xiaohuai is like this too.
"Because Brother Xiaohuai is also in love," Lin Siwei said.
"Really?!" Lin Jiahuan exclaimed.
Suddenly I felt that my voice was too loud, and I quickly looked around again.
Lin Siwei said: "Brother Xiao Huai has someone he just met. He wrote to Gu Qia and told him. The time is not yet ripe and he hasn't told the elders in the family yet. We may have to get along with him for a while."
Lin Jiahuan was a little disappointed. He was also inexplicably excited: "What kind of person is his partner? Do you know him?"
"She is the doctor who treated Gu Qia at the Provincial Army General Hospital. I have met her. She is a very good girl." "
Doctor. , So awesome." Lin Jiahuan exclaimed sincerely.
"But to keep brother Xiao Huai a secret, he must get the girl's consent before telling his parents. But I can guarantee that if the Gu family's grandparents knew about it, they would be so excited that the roof would be lifted."
Lin Jiahuan nodded fiercely: "Absolutely. ! I mean, it must be kept secret, not that it must be lifted."
After saying that, I felt funny and covered my mouth and snickered.
