Chapter 65
Because she was afraid that Wen Jiunian would not be able to walk the previous road, which was full of potholes and it would be easy for people who were not locals to stall. It was also very dangerous halfway up the mountain, so she chose a special, but flatter, route and it took her ten minutes slower than usual to get up the mountain.
Wen Jiunian looked at the mountain road and said nothing. He drove carefully and soon arrived at Grandma Lin's house.
My grandmother’s legs have gotten much better and she can walk on her own. Although it’s still a little unbearable for her to walk for a long time, she doesn’t need a wheelchair as long as she doesn’t go too far.
After her leg recovered, the house they lived in was no longer suitable for living, so Lin's mother took out some of her savings and built a new house for the couple.
The house is not big, with only one floor, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. There is a small courtyard around the door. The location is not in the original place, but right at the intersection, so there is no need to walk on the muddy path.
When I parked the car at the gate, I saw several old men and women sitting in the yard, each sitting on a small stool, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
Seeing a white car parked at the door, Fenfen looked over and saw that it was Lin Nanzhi. Fenfen smiled and said, "Hey, it's Xiao Caicai's daughter who's here."
Yuncai is Lin’s mother’s name.
Lin's mother was lost from her parents and was picked up by Yun's father. Seeing that Lin's father had golden hair and was very handsome, especially his pair of blue eyes, he softened his heart and brought her home and treated her as his own daughter.
Lin's mother was a foreigner and was exceptionally beautiful. But because she was a foreigner, no one dared to marry her even though she was beautiful in that era, so she married Lin's father, who was married for the second time.
Everyone said that Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were good at raising a daughter they had picked up and raised her well. Even after they became rich, they did not forget their parents. They took their mother to see a doctor and built a new house for their parents. Unlike them, their daughters are like water spilled after they are married off. They only come back a few times a year, carrying things to play for a few days, and taking some things away when they leave. Their son is also useless. They built a new house for their son, but the son built the house but did not think about his parents at all.
The old couple of the Yun family live in a big bungalow, which is not only beautiful but also bright. They used to live in a mud house, which was not only pitch black but also small in space.
It's not as good as what others picked up, so of course I'm jealous!
Grandma Lin also noticed Lin Nanzhi and waved with a smile: "Zhizhi, come here quickly!"
When the two people walked over, the old man sitting in the yard also saw them and couldn't help but look at each other.
Old ladies in the countryside are like this. They are too old to work in the fields, but they can't sit still and gossip with their younger sisters. Whether you are from the village or have heard about it, you can hear dozens of versions of the story here.
This is their greatest pleasure.
"That person next to her, could that be her boyfriend?"
"No, it's so small."
The other old lady immediately retorted: "You are not young anymore. Didn't you marry his eldest master when you were this old?"
When the old lady heard this, she agreed that it made sense.
When they were Lin Nanzhi's age, they would have been married, had children, and taken care of the family and the elderly and children. It is only now that these girls are getting married later.
For a moment, everyone looked at the two people with gossip, but Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian didn't know. They walked over and greeted Grandma Lin: "Grandma."
"Auntie...you guys come and bask in the sun."
The people who were discussing just now suddenly smiled.
"Yes, Zhizhi, are you here to see your mother-in-law again?"
"My mom told me to bring something to her." Lin Nanzhi handed the things to Grandma Lin and put the fruit on the table: "Eat some fruit."
Everyone was not polite, grabbing handfuls and then running away. After all, it was already noon and they could smell the food. They had guests and they couldn't stay for dinner.
It is said that those who came from that era know that life is not easy for every household and they do not have the habit of eating at other people's homes.
"Zhizhi, let's eat. You and your friend should eat before leaving." Grandpa Lin came out and said.
"good."
The two people arrived just in time. The meal had already been prepared. Originally, the meal was for two people, so Grandpa Lin only prepared one dish and one soup, and added two more dishes temporarily. The four of them sat at the table and started eating.
Although there are only a few simple dishes, they still taste good. At least the last time I tasted this flavor was more than ten years ago.
"Eat more."
"Yeah." Lin Nanzhi nodded.
"You too, treat it like your own home, don't be polite." Rural people don't like to use serving chopsticks, and they don't have this idea. Grandma Lin didn't think it was a big deal to use chopsticks to pick up food for Lin Nanzhi, but Wen Jiunian looked like a city kid, and she probably would dislike it, so she didn't move, just greeted him vigorously.
"Okay, thank you grandma, you don't have to worry about me."
Wen Jiunian responded with a smile.
Grandma Lin nodded and picked up some food for Lin Nanzhi. Seeing that she wanted to continue, Lin Nanzhi quickly blocked the bowl and chopsticks with his hands: "Grandma, that's enough, I can't finish it."
Grandma Lin stopped when she heard this, but she still said, "Eat more. You've lost weight. You were so cute when you were a kid."
Lin Nanzhi: “…”
That's true!
Lin Nanzhi was born with a difficult birth because she was too big. She weighed 25 pounds when she was born. When she was little, she was chubby, white and tender, just like a doll in a New Year painting. The old people in the village liked her very much.
Therefore, she was also nicknamed the "meng" (mangdudune, meaning chubby) girl. She was plump and white before junior high school. After junior high school, she developed a competitive spirit, and because of the average food in the dormitory and daily exercise, she lost weight.
But I weighed over 100 pounds before, neither fat nor thin. Later, after using Lingquan water, I became slim.
She just smiled and said nothing.
After dinner, they handed the things to Grandma Lin and said goodbye. Wen Jiunian drove the car and the two of them went home.
On the way, Wen Jiunian thought about what he saw at Grandma Lin's house.
Grandma Lin's leg was injured, so Grandpa Lin did everything for her. When Grandma Lin took care of them at mealtime, he took care of Grandma Lin wholeheartedly, fearing that she would be hungry. When he left, he was giving Grandma Lin a foot massage with herbal medicine.
He couldn't help but say to Lin Nanzhi: "Grandma and Grandpa have a good relationship and are very loving."
Lin Nanzhi smiled and said nothing.
Right, this is probably what everyone would think when seeing this. She also thought so at the beginning. She also thought in her heart that if she could find a man like her grandfather who would stay with her even after her leg was broken, it would definitely be a kind of happiness.
At that time, I thought it would be great if I could meet such a man.
But she remembered that in her previous life, she also sighed like this to Lin's mother, but Lin's mother told her that Grandpa Lin was not like this at the beginning. He was an extreme male chauvinist. He favored boys over girls since he was a child, looked down on women, disliked daughters, and beat and scolded Grandma Lin. Once he even broke Grandma Lin's bones. He was only a little nicer to this adopted daughter, so when she was young, Grandma Lin disliked Lin's mother very much.
There was even one time when he secretly took Lin's mother out and lost her. She was eventually found by Lin's grandfather, who gave her a good scolding.
But divorce was not popular at that time, and even if you died, you would not get divorced, so Grandma Lin never thought about divorce.
Grandpa Lin's change started when Grandma Lin broke her leg. He became a much different person after that. He took care of Grandma Lin without any complaints and never left her side. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should envy Grandma Lin or sympathize with her.
Envy her husband's loyalty and sympathy for her experiences in her youth? Or for Grandma Lin, the hardships of her later years have paid off, and the experiences of her youth are no longer important.
This was the thinking of women in that era.
She looked out the window, as if answering Wen Jiunian's words, but also as if she was saying to herself: "I don't envy others, and in the future I will either marry a husband who treats me very, very well, or I will be alone for the rest of my life."
Wen Jiunian looked at Lin Nanzhi, and seeing that she stopped talking, he could only say: "You are so young, don't think about these things."
Too.
"So what kind of girl do you want to marry?"
Wen Jiunian's heart was shaken by Lin Nanzhi's words "brother". He glanced at the little girl and finally cursed himself in his heart.
He looked away and thought about the question Lin Nanzhi asked. To be honest, he had never thought about this question, and it was not in his plan, so he just casually said, "Interesting soul."
Lin Nanzhi: "..."
Beautiful appearances are all alike, but interesting souls are rare to find.
The two men didn't speak again.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they got home. Lin's father had not come back yet. Lin Nanxun was still watching TV series, and Lin Nanye had already gone to bed. They were both quite tired and planned to go out and play tomorrow, so they just went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Nanzhi was about to take Wen Jiunian to go boating on Lianwu Lake, but his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Yu Ze, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
After answering the phone, Yu Ze's voice rang out immediately: "Nanzhi Nanzhi, I'm here to play with you. Where is your home? I can't find it!"
Lin Nanzhi didn't expect Yu Ze to come to see her. She was stunned for a moment, and then heard Yu Ze's anxious voice on the other end of the phone: "Nanzhi, Nanzhi, are you listening? Hello?"
"I'm listening." Lin Nanzhi came back to his senses and looked at the time on his mobile phone. It was six o'clock in the morning, which was really early.
"Hehe." Yu Ze smiled innocently, but when he thought about the two of them going out to play, he felt a little angry again, and couldn't help but complain: "Are we still friends? You two left me to play without telling me. Forget about Wen Jiunian, you are a guy who values women over friends, but how can you abandon me, Nan Zhi?"
Lin Nanzhi: “…”
She really didn't know how to answer Yu Ze.
"Didn't you come to see me? Where are you?"
"Umon Airport, I only know your home is in Umon, but I don't know where it is and I can't find it. Can you come pick me up? Or send me the location and I can come by myself."
"Then you wait a bit. My home is quite far from the airport. It will take more than two hours."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Come quickly, or what if I get kidnapped..."
Not wanting to hear any more, Lin Nanzhi hung up the phone and went to find Wen Jiunian. He asked him to drive and the two of them went to pick up Yu Ze together.
