Chapter 408 The Wen Family with a Correct Outlook
So Wen Jizu figured it out and accepted these relatives from the bottom of his heart, but he also didn't want his father Wen Guowang to be talked about in the village. After all, his father's infertility was his pain, and he couldn't let his father become the topic of conversation for others after tea.
He knew that Lin Jianye and the others were reasonable, and he also wanted to reach a consensus with them, which was to recognize the relationship but not change the current status.
At this time, Wen Jizu looked at his sister and felt emotional. This was the first time the brother and sister met, and he had never thought that he would have a sister.
He looked at Lin Miao, not knowing what to say, but feeling a little like crying.
Lin Miao looked at Wen Jizu's eyes and felt sad: "Brother." She didn't know if it was appropriate to call him fourth brother, but it was not wrong to call him brother.
Wen Jizu nodded with red eyes: "Yeah, yeah." He didn't know what to say more appropriately.
Lin Jianye looked at them and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't explain the feeling. He lowered his head, wiped away his tears, and hugged Wen Jizu: "I was really afraid that you would resist us and that you would not want to contact us."
Wen Jizu leaned on Lin Jianye's shoulder and said, "Brother, I know this isn't anyone's fault, and it's not that you don't love me. Maybe this is destined. But brother, can I ask you not to spread this? I don't want people to talk about my father."
Lin Jianye nodded repeatedly: "We think so too. We will all be relatives in the future. Uncle Wen is also our elder, and we will respect him. If you have any ideas or requests, you can tell us."
Wen Jizu said: "I don't have any requirements. It's good just like it is now. I am still a child of the Wen family, but I have so many more relatives. I am very satisfied. I think this is God's favor to me."
Lin Xiaoxia listened to Wen Jizu's words and really admired her fourth uncle. In fact, the Lin family in the city lived a richer life than the Wen family in the countryside. The three brothers Lin Jianye did have a much higher starting point than Wen Jizu.
However, Wen Jizu did not feel resentful about these differences at all. He even thought about not letting Wen Guowang get hurt. He considered it so comprehensively and was really well educated by his original family.
Wen Guowang burst into tears at this time: "Thank you, really, I am not afraid of what others say. I have good children like you now, I am satisfied."
Lin Jianguo went over and took Wen Guowang's hand: "Uncle Wen, we should thank you."
Zheng Qing looked at Lin Xiaoxia holding Lin Miao's waist and realized something was wrong: "Little sister, is your waist uncomfortable?"
Lin Miao said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I was injured before, but it's nothing serious."
Wen Guowang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you say that Lin Miao was a special forces soldier on the border? And that he was injured?" He was also a soldier and had participated in wars, so his thoughts were different from those of ordinary people.
Lin Miao nodded and said, "Uncle Wen guessed right. He was injured during a mission. It was a penetrating wound, but he's almost healed."
When Wen Guowang heard this, he saluted Lin Miao.
Lin Miao also returned the salute.
Lin Xiaoxia suddenly burst into tears. These are the cutest and hardest-working people in our country.
Zheng Qing said, "I'll spread a mattress on the kang. Xiaoxia, help your aunt sit on the kang." As she spoke, Zheng Qing got on the kang, took out a mattress from the quilt cabinet, folded it, and placed it at the head of the kang.
Lin Xiaoxia helped Lin Miao onto the kang and sat down against the wall.
Wen Guowang also asked everyone to sit down wherever they wanted, and Zheng Qing made tea for them and brought it in.
The men, including Lin Jianye and Lin Jianguo, sat on the chairs on the floor, while Huang Wanxia and her sisters-in-law sat on the edge of the kang.
After everyone sat down, Wen Guowang looked at everyone and smiled: "I used to think I was blessed just to have such a son. Now, looking at such a large family, I am really happy. In the future, during the New Year and other holidays, our family will be lively."
Lin Jianye said, "We're not too far away. You can come over whenever you want. If you want to go, call me and I'll pick you up."
In fact, no one expected that things would go so smoothly today. They were all worried that Wen Jizu would be depressed, but Wen Jizu not only got over it, but also thought so much about everyone.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Qing started preparing lunch.
Huang Wanxia and her friends brought meat and vegetables with them, as they wanted to have lunch here to save them the trouble of preparing the meal.
Speaking of cooking, Huang Wanxia and her sisters-in-law followed her to the kitchen.
They didn't bring any wine with them, so Lin Jianye and Wen Guowang went to the village store to buy some.
Lin Jianguo pressed the water for their cooking, and Lin Jianshe helped pick the vegetables. The yard was more lively than ever during the Wen family's New Year holidays.
Lin Xiaoxia came out to wash fruit for everyone. Seeing the children in the west yard clinging to the wall, she handed them a bunch of lychees and said, "Little boy, don't cry if you fall from the wall. Take this and eat it downstairs."
The little boy, about five or six years old, took the lychee and asked Lin Xiaoxia, "Sister, can I eat this?"
Lin Xiaoxia nodded: "This is called lychee, peel it and eat it."
At this time, the little boy's grandmother came out and said, "Erzhuzi, didn't I tell you not to ask others for food casually?"
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Aunt, don't talk about the child. I gave it to him, he didn't ask for it."
The little boy's grandmother walked over to the wall and asked Lin Xiaoxia through it, "Whose relatives are these in the Wen family? They seem to be from the city, and they have cars. I've never seen such wealthy relatives in the Wen family before."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "My grandfather and Grandpa Wen were comrades-in-arms. Grandpa Wen saved my grandfather's life on the battlefield. But we lost contact in the meantime, and I never found their home. Now that we've been in touch again, we've been visiting more often."
The little boy's grandmother was a little surprised: "Oh, we only knew that Lao Wen was a soldier, but I didn't expect he could save lives. He's a hero."
"Yes, Grandpa Wen is a hero, so we respect him very much. Now we have found him and contacted him, we will treat them as family in the future." Lin Xiaoxia said.
The little boy's grandmother said enviously, "The Wen family has done a lot of good things. They have so many wealthy relatives all of a sudden. They are so blessed." Then she asked, "Where are you from?"
"Our family is from Lingyuan City, but my third uncle is in the provincial capital." Lin Xiaoxia replied.
After hearing about Lingyuan City, the little boy's grandmother was very happy: "Lingyuan City, do you know the Lingyuan Hotel? My son Erzhu's aunt works as a waitress at the Lingyuan Hotel. She even brings us small soaps and toothbrushes from the hotel when she comes back. They are so luxurious."
Lin Xiaoxia didn't know how to respond to this topic, so she smiled and said, "I know. I'm very familiar with their boss. Since you're neighbors with Grandpa Wen, if Erzhuzi's aunt has any problems, tell her to come find me. My name is Lin Xiaoxia, and she'll know who I am once you tell her."
