Chapter 271
Airport
Lin Nanzhi drove Reidi to the airport, contacted Lin Nanxuan and waited patiently. Sure enough, after a while, he saw three people coming towards them, two of whom were Lin Nanxuan and Yu Ze.
There was another person, wearing a mask and a hat. Lin Nanzhi still recognized him. It was Wen Jiunian.
She asked Redi to wait while she got out of the car to help with the luggage.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
"Sorry to trouble you, squeak." Yu Ze said.
After receiving the news, his parents asked him to take Lin Nanxuan to come first by plane instead of driving. Because Lin Nanxuan was five months pregnant, they were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she sat in the car for a long time, so they took a plane, which only took one or two hours.
"No, get in the car."
Lin Nanxuan got into the car and then she realized that there was another person in the passenger seat. He turned around and looked at her, then greeted her.
Lin Nanxuan: “…” I don’t understand.
She could only smile slightly, then sat in the window seat. When she saw Lin Nanzhi get in the car, she asked Lin Nanzhi who this was. Just as Lin Nanzhi was about to speak, Wen Jiunian reached out and opened the passenger door. He was a little surprised to see someone sitting in the seat.
"Feel sorry."
He closed the door and sat in the back.
The car is a five-seater, just right for five people.
"This is Redi, from Russia, and...my mother's niece."
Lin Nanxuan: “???”
What are you talking about?
Wen Jiunian and Yu Ze only knew that Lin's mother was Russian, but they didn't know that she was lost from her family, so they looked at Lin Nanzhi with some surprise.
What's happening?
Lin Nanzhi had no choice but to explain the whole story from beginning to end. The three people understood, but Redi didn't understand Chinese, so she didn't understand what the three people were saying. Lin Nanzhi gave her a brief explanation again.
"Ridi, this is my sister Lin Nanxuan, this is her husband Yu Ze, and this is my boyfriend Wen Jiunian."
Reddy understood. She nodded and greeted them in broken Chinese: "Hello, I'm Reddy."
"Hello, Reddy."
"Does mom know?"
Lin Nanzhi shook his head.
"I wasn't sure before, but after a trip to Russia I was sure, so I brought her back to meet my mother. But then this happened, and Redi and my mother didn't even get to meet."
Lin Nanxuan nodded to show that she understood.
Lin Nanzhi started the car to go home. She drove seriously. Since the four of them couldn't speak the same language, they didn't chat and just looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.
Soon, the car arrived at the village and stopped.
Naturally, there was no one on Lin's mother's side, and there was no one on Lin's father's side either.
It was already March, the best time to plant crops, so Father Lin went to the orchard to turn the soil with a machine and planted some potatoes. He also turned the reserved corn field and planted corn.
Lin Nanzhi still let them live with his mother.
"Want to go and take a look now?"
"OK."
"Reddy, do you want to come with us?"
"Okay." Reddy agreed immediately.
"Change your clothes first." Lin Nanzhi said this to himself and Redi.
The two of them didn't know about this beforehand, and the clothes they were wearing were brightly colored, which was not appropriate at this moment.
After returning to the room and changing clothes, the five of them went to Grandma Lin's house together.
Grandma Lin and her family were all relocated residents, so most people in the village were staying together, including Uncle Yun, who were all living nearby.
The houses of the relocated residents are different from the self-built houses originally in this village. The houses are big and small, and are divided according to the population registered in the household registration book.
There are only two people registered in Grandma and Grandpa Lin's household registration. The house they were allocated is not very big, with a small living room and bedroom, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. There is a small yard at the back where they can grow some vegetables. It is completely sufficient for the two of them to live in.
The neighbors nearby are all elderly people like this, and most families with large families either repair their houses with subsidies or live in houses built by the government.
If you build your own house, the layout is based on 25 square meters per person, and you can have a two-story villa with its own front and back yards. The government-owned house is a building, and is divided into one room per person.
Uncle Yun worked in another place, and the family had some money, so they have always lived in another place and do not have a house here.
The same is true for Uncle Yun.
The two sisters of the Yun family are relatively poor and live in a building. There are about the same number of people in the family, and the house is relatively big.
The eldest uncle of the Yun family, his sons and daughters are all grown up. The eldest son and two daughters are all married and their household registration is separated. There is only one son and his wife. There is not much space for them to divide the house, and they prefer to live in self-built houses, so they spent some money to build their own house.
The house is a two-story building and is not far from Grandma Lin's home.
Therefore, the mourning hall was set up in Grandpa Lin's home, but Uncle Yun's home was used as the venue for the funeral banquet.
To get from Lin's house to Lin's grandfather's house, you have to pass by Uncle Yun's house. When passing by, you can see a lot of people in the yard, most of them sitting on small stools chatting. Five people walking by did not attract their attention, so they didn't have to chat.
Arriving at the funeral hall, it was already decorated.
White flower balls were hung on the iron fence of the yard, and words of mourning and white couplets were posted on the door. There was also a large loudspeaker hanging under the eaves, playing funeral music. Lin's mother, her aunt, her great aunt, and several other relatives were cutting white cloth in the yard.
"Mom."
Hearing the noise, Lin's mother turned around and saw five people. A smile broke out on her pale face, and she asked them to come in. Then she brought a stool for Lin Nanxuan.
"Why are you here today? You can come in a few days."
"I just came to accompany you because I was afraid that you would be too sad." Lin Nanxuan stuck out her tongue.
Mother Lin sighed.
Lin Nanzhi looked at her. The corners of his eyes were dark and blue, and it was obvious that she didn't sleep well.
"Auntie, is there anything we can help you with?"
"Yes, Mom, we are here to help. Zhizhi has something to tell you."
"Okay, then you guys follow your aunt and the others and cut the white cloth on the table."
"OK."
"What do you want?" Lin's mother looked at Lin Nanzhi and asked. Lin Nanzhi pulled Reddy over and introduced her to her mother: "Mom, this is Reddy.
I didn’t go out for fun these few days, but went to Russia, because before…” Lin Nanzhi told his mother everything about how he had posted a post looking for relatives, received a call and went to Russia.
After hearing this, Lin's mother fell silent.
Looking at Redi, I didn't know what to say or do for a moment.
Especially when she heard Lin Nanzhi say that Redi's grandparents, parents, that is, her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law had all passed away, she didn't know how to react.
Lin Nanzhi also understood.
After all, my adoptive mother had just passed away, and I was already sad. Then I learned that my biological parents and brother had also died, which made me even sadder.
