Chapter 46 Chapter 46 (Catching Bugs) Lin Wan is eleven years old...
Two years had passed since Lin Wan was abandoned by her biological parents when she was eleven years old.
Seeing that Lin Wan was well-behaved and sensible, and didn't cry or make a fuss, the Lin family felt relieved. They just thought that the child was young and didn't understand these things. Life hadn't changed, nothing had changed.
Lin Guoyou and Zhou Guihua treated their niece Lin Wan as their own daughter, but their family was really poor, so the two adults saved their food rations to feed the three children and managed to raise them up.
Xiao Linwan is a rare person who can study in the village. The village primary school in Linjia Village is almost a decoration. The teachers are basically adults who can recognize a few more words. The students would rather run around in the mountains and rivers than study. A class is often not complete, and both teachers and students are used to it.
But Lin Wan was different. She was a good student and always got full marks in answering questions in class or taking exams. She also helped with housework after school and was a good child praised by everyone.
During the winter vacation, Lin Wan went to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs. She had been weak since she was a child, and although she was good at studying, she was not very good at working. Dawei and Erhong were the opposite of her. They were good at working, so they gave the easiest work to Lin Wan and took good care of her sister.
During the Chinese New Year, the weather is cold and gloomy, which makes people feel depressed and reminds them of the gloomy Chinese New Year two years ago.
Lin Wan tried hard to forget, and it seemed to be quite effective. She almost remembered nothing and put all the disappointment and sadness behind her.
This year's Chinese New Year was different. After the Lantern Festival, the New Year atmosphere gradually dissipated. The children of Linjia Village, who relied on the Spring Festival to eat more candies, hoped to celebrate the Chinese New Year forever, but had to face the departure of the Spring Festival. However, no one expected that a few days later, they would have candies to eat every day.
The reason was simple: a city kid came to the village and I heard he was staying with a distant relative for a while.
Children in the city have candy to eat every day and generous pocket money. They shout everywhere that it is given by their uncle. They have a lot of younger brothers and are generous and willing to give candy to everyone they meet.
Before long, this city kid became a hot commodity, and all the children in the village liked to play with him, except Lin Wan.
Lin Wan had no intention of joining in the fun, so she continued to go to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs, taking advantage of the fact that the weather was not as cold as in the previous two months.
Not long after, Lin Wan's parents from the city came back to visit their hometown, bringing some New Year's goods and her one-year-old brother.
During the Chinese New Year two years ago, Lin Guofu and Chen Qiuhong came back and proposed that Lin Wan be adopted by their eldest brother and his wife. Last year, they were busy with their baby, who was only a few months old, and this year...
Lin Wan saw that her biological parents treated her and Dawei and Erhong no differently, and didn't even have time to talk to them individually. Only then did she deeply realize that she had indeed been adopted out.
The parents' hearts and eyes were filled with the one-year-old baby, and they kept talking about how their son was doing, how he had always been able to see his future, and how he would become something great...
Lin Wan remained silent and continued to carry her small backpack up the mountain to cut grass for the pigs.
There is a hillside in Linjia Village, which is already a huge thing for children. Lin Wan cut grass for pigs for a while and watched the water soak into the dry soil. The water droplets fell and hit the dark soil, splashing shallow water in the soil.
Staring blankly at the small patch of wet land, Lin Wan raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and continued to cut grass for the pigs.
The wind was whistling, and in the distance came the sounds of children playing and fighting. Nearby, the only sound was the crackling sound of Lin Wan using a sickle to cut grass for pigs.
"Little girl." The sudden voice from the hillside scared Lin Wan. She looked up and saw a tall man with bruises on his face appear in front of her. His face was unfamiliar and she had never seen him before.
Fu Xiuhuai is less than twenty years old, and there is still a trace of childishness on his face, but he is much more robust and mature than his peers.
He had just gone to a nearby place to do business, but was tricked into stealing his goods. He ended up having a big fight with them, fighting five or six people alone. He was gloriously injured, but the other five or six people were not much better than him. Knowing that this person was willing to risk his life, they ran away in a hurry.
Fu Xiuhuai, who finally solved the trouble, finished his business and came to the village to pick up his distant relative's house to pick up his nephew Fu Mingjun, who had sneaked out to follow him, but was warmly welcomed to stay and recuperate.
Just as he was worried that returning home with injuries on his face would cause his parents to worry, Fu Xiuhuai readily agreed.
He was just bored in the village, and watching his nephew Fu Mingjun playing marbles and rolling hoops with other kids every day was so childish. He distributed the candy in his hand everywhere, almost to all the children in the village. A bunch of kids affectionately called him brother and uncle, but after two or three days, the novelty wore off and he found it boring.
Unexpectedly, when I went up the mountain to relax, I saw a little girl cutting grass for pigs.
The movement was relatively smooth, but it was obvious that the strength was not great. What was even more strange was that it was the first time he saw someone cutting grass for pigs and crying at the same time. The crying was silent, as if he was not crying at all.
Is it so sad to cut grass for pigs?
Fu Xiuhuai was watching curiously out of boredom, lying on the grass beside him with his arms as a pillow, waiting for the little girl to stop crying and discover him.
Hey, it turned out that this person kept crying silently, as if he was blind and couldn't see himself at all, so I couldn't help but remind him.
Lin Wan sniffed, took a step back, turned around and saw an older brother.
He is much taller than my uncle's eldest son Lin Chengwei, but his face is bruised and swollen, and he doesn't look like a good person.
Lin Wan was a very vigilant little girl, especially in recent years when she heard everywhere about kidnappers abducting children, and even some adults were abducted. She picked up the small backpack, waved the sickle, and ran away with the speed of wind.
Fu Xiuhuai almost laughed out loud. He had come to Linjia Village and enjoyed the highest level of treatment among the twenty or thirty children in the village. But what kind of look did this one give him just now?
Do you look like a bad person?
When Fu Xiuhuai returned to his distant relatives' home, he asked his nephew Fu Mingjun and his younger brother Chen Jun, who had insisted on coming with him, a soul-searching question: "Do I look like a bad person?"
Fu Mingjun liked his uncle the most, so he naturally disagreed: "Uncle, how could you be a bad guy!"
Chen Jun also admired his elder brother: "Who said that? You deserve a beating!"
The next day, Fu Mingjun was wandering around again. When he was bored, he thought of something and went up the hill again. He saw the little girl still grunting and cutting grass for pigs.
Hearing the noise behind her, the little girl turned and looked at him, her eyes still a little wary, but she didn't run away.
Fu Xiuhuai forced a smile on his bruised face: "Why, you're not running today?"
Lin Wan looked him up and down, picked up her backpack and was about to leave.
"Hey." Fu Xiuhuai had never seen such a weak kid before, so he grabbed her backpack and led her back. "I'm not a bad person, why are you so defensive, little girl?"
"I know you're not a bad person." Lin Wan nodded and took the backpack back from the older brother's hand. "I'm going to go cut grass for the pigs over there."
"How did you know?" Fu Xiuhuai didn't know why he was so idle. Maybe he was misunderstood and wanted to prove his innocence.
"You're a relative of Uncle Hao San's." Lin Wan said seriously, "I went home and asked yesterday."
"You're quite clever." Fu Xiuhuai squatted down, took out a handful of candy from his pocket, and handed it to the little girl. "I've given candy to all the children in the village, but why haven't I seen you before? Are you embarrassed to come and get it? I saw you crying yesterday. Here, this is for you. Don't cry. You're too young to have so many sad things."
"I didn't cry." Xiao Lin Wan whispered softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
Fu Xiuhuai didn't bother with the child too much. He smiled and said, "Okay, I didn't cry. I was mistaken yesterday. Take the candy."
Xiao Linwan looked at the palm of the male Bodhisattva who was giving candies to all the children in the village as described by her elder brother and second sister. There were seven or eight candies on the palm, including red, yellow, white and orange. She was silent for a moment and picked out the most golden and eye-catching candy from his broad palm.
"I'll just take one, thank you."
***
The speeding car made a whistling sound in the wind. Lin Wan held a corn candy tightly in her hand. She tore open the candy bag and took a bite of the golden and soft candy inside. The sweet taste of corn flowed into her mouth, and it seemed to sweeten her heart.
Corn jelly is Lin Wan’s favorite candy, and this is where it comes from.
Lin Wan glanced sideways at Fu Xiuhuai's sharp profile, trying to find traces of the memories she had just recalled on this already mature face.
However, after many years, the youthful immaturity on Fu Xiuhuai's face had long been worn away by experience, leaving only a heavy aura.
The Santana stopped at the garage of the Fu family villa. Before getting out of the car, Lin Wan unbuckled her seat belt and couldn't help but ask curiously, "I really saw you when I was a child. Have you forgotten?"
A few months ago, Lin Wan heard Chen Jun talking about the past at the wedding and asked Fu Xiuhuai about it. At that time, the man just said that too many years had passed and he had no memory of it.
Lin Wan really didn't remember it, so she just recalled it just now.
Fu Xiuhuai stared at Lin Wan with his dark eyes. After a moment, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you remember now?"
Lin Wanxing's eyes lit up slightly: "Do you really remember?"
"I've treated you to a lot of candies, but you completely forgot about them. You're so heartless." Fu Xiuhuai accused him, but his tone was full of sarcasm and he was obviously not angry.
Lin Wan lowered her eyes: "I didn't mean to do that...why didn't you remind me?"
"You've already forgotten me. If I rush to tell you, won't it make me look very..." Fu Xiuhuai's eyes were filled with smiles. He unbuckled his seat belt and moved closer, whispering, "It's very embarrassing."
Lin Wan pursed her lips, unable to refute for a moment.
Her memories of her childhood are not good, especially around the Chinese New Year, so her memories are vague.
However, when Fu Xiuhuai mentioned that he had treated her to a lot of candy, Lin Wan retorted based on the fragment she had just recalled: "I clearly only took one."
After getting out of the car, the two went straight to the villa. The moonlight was faint, making their shadows very long and close.
Fu Xiuhuai hinted: "Only one? Think about it carefully."
"I..." Lin Wan was about to think carefully, but when she turned a corner, she was greeted by the bright light from the villa's living room, which interrupted her thoughts for a moment.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the Fu family villa was unusually lively. The room was filled with bright lights and the TV was playing a TV series, but the volume was turned very low, drowning out the voices in the living room.
The old man and old lady of the Fu family, one with a stern face and the other with a sad look, were comforting the relatives who appeared here at night.
When Fu Zhiyong's cousin and his wife came to visit, he felt very upset and wanted to complain to his cousin and his wife.
"Brother Yong, tell me, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I don't ask them to be very successful, but you can't just abandon your family and go to Country M like this."
Fu Zhiyong felt a headache just thinking about it: "Feng Yan has really lost her mind."
Fengyan left and went to Country M with her boyfriend from Country M, and her family did not stop her.
"Cousin, tell me, are we heartbroken? We told her, but she wouldn't listen. Last time, we asked your Xiu Huai to investigate. Although we didn't find any evidence, that foreigner went to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see a friend give birth. We were worried there was something wrong, but Yan'er still wouldn't listen. This time, we locked her in the house and wouldn't let her leave, but she ended up sneaking away by deceiving her cousin and taking the key, catching a plane."
Lin Wan was stunned as she listened, there was a deep entanglement here.
Similarly, she didn't expect Feng Yan to be so determined to go to Country M.
That night, the four old men chatted for a long time, all of them worried about the younger generation. In the end, it was Fu Xiuhuai who made the final decision: "I knew someone from Country M in my previous business, but we haven't been in touch much. I'll see if I can find him later and ask around."
Mr. Fu's cousin and his wife burst into tears of joy: "Xiu Huai, thank you for your help, our Yan'er..."
Fu Xiuhuai coaxed his elderly parents to bed and then settled his cousin in the guest room. "Since they're gone, there's really nothing I can do. I can at most try to find out more about them, but don't hold your hopes too high. Everyone has their own destiny. You have to walk the path you choose."
At this point, the old man's cousin and his wife were at a loss for words and kept thanking him.
When she returned to the room, Lin Wan was being pestered by Doudou to play with a rattle. The little girl sat on the bed and insisted that her mother shake the rattle in her hand, while she rubbed her clean tiger-head hat. She clearly didn't look at the rattle, but if her mother stopped, she would immediately look up and stare at her mother, glance with her big watery eyes, and pout her little mouth.
Lin Wan had no choice but to serve her daughter obediently.
Fortunately, Fu Xiuhuai went out to take care of the housework and was not delayed for long. She quickly changed the task: "You come shake the rattle for Doudou, my arms are sore."
This statement was a bit exaggerated, but it did not affect Lin Wan's throwing of the hot potato.
Fu Xiuhuai was a tall man of about 1.8 meters. In his broad palm, a small rattle appeared, which he was shaking seriously. It was really... it made Lin Wan want to laugh.
"Are Mom and Dad asleep?" Lin Wan knew that her parents-in-law were not in good health. It was all because they had suffered so much during the years they were sent down to the countryside. Just now, her uncle and aunt came to complain, and there were so many grievances that they could not finish. Fu Xiuhuai was worried that it would affect his parents' rest and make them feel unwell due to exhaustion, so he came forward to help.
"Sleep." Fu Xiuhuai never liked to persuade people repeatedly. "Feng Yan has been determined to leave several times. What's the point of persuading her again? Tomorrow I will arrange for Uncle Liu to send my cousin and the others back. Later, I will ask someone to find out who they know in Country M. If I can find someone, I will send a message to my cousin and the others. If not, there is nothing I can do."
Lin Wan nodded, this was indeed the only way.
What Lin Wan heard at the Fu family fell into her ears again the next day.
Qin Fang came to the pilot project department to see Lin Wan. Lin Wan fed her a lot of snacks. She couldn't help but envy: "It's different. Half a month ago, you guys were looked down upon for your pilot project. Look at you now, you even have snacks!"
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Deputy Director Wang bought it with his own money. We didn't use any public funds."
"Deputy Director Wang is such a good leader!" Qin Fang ate some snacks and thanked him from a distance. She then added, "Speaking of leaders, Director Feng is looking very upset today. I heard that Feng Yan left and really went to Country M."
Lin Wan had heard about this yesterday and remained noncommittal: "She said she wanted to leave, but I didn't expect her to be so determined."
"Yeah." Qin Fang suddenly sighed, "I don't know why they went to Country M. It's so far away. I think it's crazy. If something really happened, who would help? Are you stupid?"
Lin Wan smiled: "Weren't you quite annoyed with her before?"
"What happened before is what happened before. Now we are separated by the Pacific Ocean. It's no big deal."
The two chatted casually for a while, and not long after, Zhou Chuanfang returned with the latest cargo batch declaration form: "Xiao Lin, look, someone from another province has come to visit us!"
Qin Fang was even more excited than Lin Wan when she heard this: "Wow, there are people from other provinces?"
The clothes produced by Jiangcheng Garment Factory are basically sold throughout the city. That is to say, since last year, with the investment and assistance of Hong Kong businessmen, the clothes produced have been sold to surrounding cities. This is the first time I heard that it has attracted department stores in other provinces!
Lin Wan obviously didn't expect it to go so smoothly. "That's great! Let's quickly calculate if we have enough goods. If there are no problems after the assessment, we'll probably have to work overtime, and maybe even ask other workshops for support."
"That's right!" Zhou Chuanfang, a veteran in the factory, knew that if they wanted to supply other provinces at the same time, the production capacity of their two workshops would definitely not be enough. "Go to Deputy Director Wang and ask for support from other workshops."
The ability to sell clothes to other provinces is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for Jiangcheng Garment Factory. When Deputy Director Wang approached Director You and Secretary He to apply for support, he ignored Director You's slightly stiff expression and Secretary He's charcoal-black face, and resolutely submitted the application form to go through the process and sign.
The leaders knew the situation clearly, and even though they felt embarrassed, since it concerned the interests of the factory, they signed several times faster than usual, and there was no delay in the process.
When Workshop 3 was assigned to help with the pilot project, Deputy Director Wang assigned a task: "Xiao Lin, you will focus on the production of goods for the stores in other provinces. You will be fully responsible for the clothes in Workshop 3."
This is a great opportunity to make a name for the garment factory and promote it throughout the province and even outside the province. It is a matter of great importance, so Deputy Director Wang directly entrusted us with the important task.
Workshop 3 was gloriously seconded to the pilot project department amidst the envious eyes of other workshops. The workers' eyes lit up, because everyone had heard that the pilot project department had high bonuses, and workshops 1 and 2 had much higher salaries than others thanks to the bonuses.
Lin Guofu and Chen Qiuhong were extremely excited. This was like money falling from the sky!
The two dreamed of receiving huge bonuses, but when they saw the person in charge of the pilot project department, their eyes almost popped out.
Lin Wan is so young, and she is also his own daughter. Is she going to take advantage of him?
Lin Guofu's face was stern. His original intention to please the new leader was gone. He had to act like a real father.
Chen Qiuhong was also unable to calm down. If it was any other senior member of the pilot project department, she would have accepted it, but how could she let her own daughter take the lead? She relaxed a little.
However, Lin Wan, who had come to meet with the former workshop director, Hong Mei, in Workshop 3, didn't even glance at them. She simply greeted the workers and emphasized the precautions for garment production: "The production requirements for garments in this pilot project are high, but fortunately, you are all skilled and experienced workers in the factory, and you will definitely be able to complete the tasks and requirements. Now, I will read out the requirements and precautions. Every link of production must strictly meet the standards..."
Lin Wan spoke beautifully, emphasizing the strict production standards and praising these workers who had more years of service than herself, which did not cause any disgust.
After giving the instructions, Lin Wan discussed with Director Hong for a few more words before leaving get off work.
Just a few meters after walking out of the third workshop, annoying shouting was heard behind me.
"Lin Wan!"
“Wanwan!”
Lin Wan looked back and saw Chen Guofu and Chen Qiuhong chasing after her. They no longer had the look of plotting against her job a while ago and looking down on the pilot project.
"Wanwan, come home and have dinner today. I'll make your favorite food..."
Lin Wan refused with a stern face: "Comrades, it's working time now, please work hard. As for eating, I have a home, so I will go back to eat."
Leaving behind a graceful back, Lin Wan vaguely heard low curses coming from behind her, but she didn't take it seriously at all.
The production of clothes to be sold outside the province was being arranged in full swing. Lin Wan did not interfere with the production work in the workshop and only took charge of the routine supervision and acceptance links, which was relatively easy.
After getting off work on Saturday, Lin Wan, who had been busy for a while, finally had a day off and was just waiting to take the driver's license test tomorrow!
That evening, Lin Wan rejected Fu Xiuhuai's suggestion of practicing driving again.
"Why not get familiar with each other temporarily?" Fu Xiuhuai wondered.
Lin Wan shook her head: "I won't practice today. I usually practice in my head. If I practice now, I will only get more nervous."
She did the same before the college entrance examination. She didn't touch the books on the last day and just relaxed.
But the relaxation this time is much richer, mainly by playing with Doudou.
Doudou was crawling all over his mother's body, making unconscious syllables. Aunt Wang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise and came over to teach the child: "Mama, baba... Doudou, learn how to speak~"
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, I've been teaching him for quite a while, but I don't know if Doudou is doing it on purpose. He makes all these "hmm" and "ahh" sounds but doesn't call out for help."
Aunt Wang is an experienced person: "Just wait, you never know when he might suddenly cry out. I think Doudou is a smart one."
Lin Wan lowered her eyes to look at her daughter. The fair and tender little girl had bright eyes. It is said that one should look at the eyes first when judging a person. She really looked like a smart girl: "Come on, smart girl, call me Mama~"
Doudou was held in her mother's arms, with her watery eyes wide open, not blinking, her little head tilted, and meaningless syllables coming out of her mouth.
Lin Wan leaned in close and put her cheek against Doudou's: "Why are you still not giving me face?"
That night, the couple gave their child a bath. Doudou, who smelled fragrant in the bathtub, was wrapped in a soft towel and wiped clean.
Lin Wan lamented that raising a child is not easy, and that one must be careful in every aspect. Glancing at the child's expensive clothes and the various milk powder and toys on the cabinet, she couldn't help but sigh, "You are so blessed! Look how good your life is."
Doudou responded to her mother's giggle.
Fu Xiuhuai helped the child put on comfortable open-crotch pants and said with a smile, "Of course not. When your mother was young, she had to cut grass for pigs. I cut a lot of grass for your mother."
Lin Wan agreed with the first half of the sentence, but her eyes widened when she heard the second half: "When have you ever helped me cut grass for the pigs?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wan searched carefully in her mind and gradually remembered something.
Eleven-year-old Xiao Linwan was cutting grass for pigs on the hillside. She met the older brother from Uncle Hao's family several times. He was also called the Bodhisattva by the children in the village, the Bodhisattva who gave everyone candy.
Last time, she picked out a corn candy that she had never seen before. She went home, opened the candy bag, put the candy in her mouth, and was enveloped by the sweet aroma. She fell in love with the taste in an instant.
When she went up the mountain to cut grass for pigs again, Lin Wan saw the big brother again. He held a handful of candy in his hand and asked her if she wanted some. Lin Wan shook her head and refused.
Fu Xiuhuai had never seen a child like this, who refused to eat the candy!
"What? Is there nothing you like to eat?" Fu Xiuhuai looked at the White Rabbit milk candy and various fruit candies in his hand...all of which were Fu Mingjun's favorites. This kid didn't know what restraint was and ate them every day.
"I have to cut grass for the pigs, so I don't want to eat candy anymore." Lin Wan thought about how she had no relatives or friends with the other person, so eating one was enough for her.
Fu Xiuhuai saw Lin Wan cutting grass for the pigs in a very polite manner. Thinking that he would leave tomorrow, he decided to follow the example of Lei Feng and do a good deed. He picked up her small backpack and filled it with grass easily after making a profit from the business.
Lin Wan stood there in a daze, looking at the man who worked very hard. Her first reaction was, if only he was her family member, then she could help her uncle and aunt plant rice in the fields and definitely earn full work points!
The labor force of the Lin family is concentrated on the uncle and aunt, who usually have to raise pigs, chickens and ducks. The three younger ones can only help with the work as much as possible.
The absurd thought only lasted for a moment, and Lin Wan politely thanked him: "Thank you."
Fu Xiuhuai saw the child's admiration and felt comfortable: "Come, have some candy!"
Lin Wan didn't take the candy, being quite principled: "You helped me cut grass for the pigs, so I should treat you to candy."
Fu Xiuhuai lay on the grass, one hand behind his head, and the other hand in front of Lin Wan: "Okay, come, buy me some candy."
Lin Wan shook her head: "I don't have any candy."
The Lin family was not wealthy and usually only bought candy during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. However, this year's candy was eaten up before the fifteenth day of the lunar year.
Fu Xiuhuai felt that the little girl was teasing him, but her little face was serious, without any playful smile on her face.
Especially since this little girl ran away right after she finished speaking. Hey, Fu Xiuhuai stared at the back of her leaving with two pigtails swinging, and thought to himself, what a heartless girl!
The whole family was sent down to the countryside, where there were many dangers and they had to run around for business. Fu Xiuhuai kept his mind tense all the time, until he was in such an unfamiliar little mountain village with no one around him, and was able to relax for a moment.
Dark clouds hung heavily in the sky, and the golden sunlight was looming, as if it was about to collide and block out.
Just at this moment, a small hand blocked the dark clouds in the sky and appeared in front of Fu Xiuhuai.
"Here." Lin Wan stuffed a bunch of herbs into the hands of the lying Fu Xiuhuai and whispered, "Wipe it on your face."
Fu Xiuhuai didn't pay much attention to the wound on his face. After the reform and opening up, there were opportunities and crises everywhere. There were even people who robbed people on the street, especially those who did business.
Such injuries were commonplace, to the point where Fu Xiuhuai still had several bruises on his face. With his parents away, he was even more lazy about not caring, and didn't even need to hide it.
His eyes fell on a bunch of unfamiliar herbs in his hand that had been pounded with a hard object and soaked with juice. Fu Xiuhuai watched as his fingertips gradually turned darker, without moving.
Xiao Lin Wan blinked, thinking that this big brother from the city didn't know how to apply herbal medicine, so she simply took the herbs from his hand, squatted beside the grass, and pinched a bunch of herbs with her fingertips to apply to his face.
A cool touch came over him, and Fu Xiuhuai rarely endured someone touching him without stopping him.
"Okay." Xiao Linwan applied the herbal medicine to the patient, thinking that they were even, and went down the mountain carrying the small backpack.
......
There was enough pig grass at home for the time being, and Lin Wan had not gone up the mountain for several days. She only occasionally heard that Uncle Hao's relatives were rich and had bought a lot of New Year's goods. They were leaving today and were giving candies to all the children in the village, a big handful for each person.
The eldest brother and second sister were all at home, but Lin Wan did not go to join in the fun. Yesterday, her biological father Lin Guofu came back again, but he didn't even look at her. All he said was about his son. Lin Wan felt that sugar was not sweet anymore.
All the children in the village went to Uncle Hao's house. Lin Wan went up the mountain alone, but she met Uncle Hao's relatives who were about to leave and return to the city.
Fu Xiuhuai thought this little girl was really something. All the children in the village went to get candy, and Mingjun was especially happy. He mingled with everyone, but this little girl didn't appreciate it.
"You won't even take the candy." Fu Xiuhuai thought this guy was stupid and would easily be taken advantage of. "Are you stupid?"
As he said this, he spread out his palm and handed the candy in front of Lin Wan.
Lin Wan blinked, and looked at her older brother with a lightly faded scar with her clear almond-shaped eyes. She lowered her eyes to glance at the candy in his palm, and still took the golden and conspicuous corn candy on the edge.
"I'll take this, thank you." Polite and proper.
......
For the first time, Lin Wan felt the sweet taste of candy continuously filling her mouth. Now that she has grown up, she no longer needs to rely on eating candy to comfort herself.
But that sweet feeling lingers in my heart again at this moment.
Lin Wan stared at Fu Xiuhuai who was holding the child, and suddenly remembered that something happened a month after he left Linjia Village, which she had never forgotten. It was also the main reason why Fu Mingjun confessed his love to her in her junior year and she agreed to date him after hesitation.
