"Doctor Li, I think I'm looking at you. Do you know me?" the nurse asked Li Zhenzhen.
The latter shook his head, "I don't know him."
Lin Jianshe was still looking at Li Zhenzhen, mumbling incoherently, "Well, well..."
An intern said, "I'm sure he sees Dr. Li because she's so beautiful."
Li Zhenzhen: "..."
The attending physician stood by the bed and said to Lin Jianshe, who was lying on the bed, "Don't worry too much, Mr. Zhi. You only have one broken rib, two broken fingers, and extensive soft tissue contusions. You need to take good care of yourself and rest for two months. You should be able to recover."
After the doctor said that, Lin Jianshe became even more worried. His bones were broken, and he had to take care of such an injury. How could he go to work in the plastic factory?
This job doesn't wait for anyone.
Lin Jianshe couldn't explain clearly. The hospital didn't know his identity, and there was no way to notify his family to come to the hospital to take care of him or pay for his medical expenses. He asked the nurse to take care of him first.
next day
Lin Yongnian had been waiting for Lin Guodong to give him money since he got up in the morning.
By the time breakfast was over, Lin Guodong still hadn't taken out the money.
Lin Yongnian had to take the initiative to speak, "Ahem Guodong, that money..."
Lin Guodong remembered, "Oh, money, I'll give it to you right away."
He took out his wallet from his pocket and counted out ten yuan to give to Lin Yongnian.
Zhang Jiao watched from the side, her face darker than the bottom of a pot, and said sarcastically, "Dad, just treat your eldest son like that, okay? I'll support you and give you the money if you ask for it."
Lin Yongnian smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Zhang Jiao and Lin Guodong went to work, and Lin Yongnian also carried a shoulder bag and locked the door.
When I locked the door, I saw that Lin Jianshe's room door was still locked. He hadn't come back for two nights. He closed his eyes and shook his head.
This Lin Jianshe is really hopeless.
"Hey, where are you going, Old Lin?" Xiaochun's mother poured the dirty water in the basin into the ditch, looked up at Lin Yongnian and asked.
Lin Yongnian said, "It's my mother's death anniversary. I've been dreaming about her these past few days. I'm going back to burn some paper for her and our ancestors."
Xiaochun's mother said, "Your family has had one bad thing after another this year. It's really time to go back and burn some paper and pay respects to your ancestors."
Lin Yongnian: “…”
At two o'clock, Lin Yongnian finally arrived at the entrance of his hometown village on a tractor.
I went to town to buy straw paper, incense, and candles, and also bought two bottles of wine, two pounds of sugar, and a pound of biscuits.
After paying the man driving the tractor two cents, he carried his things into the village.
This tractor was not specifically picking up passengers. It just met Lin Yongnian on the road. Since the car was going the same way, it asked the driver to give it a ride.
Lin Yongnian's second uncle's house was at the head of the village. I first took the things to my second uncle's house, ate something, and then went to burn paper for my mother and ancestors.
When I arrived at my second uncle's house, I found that the gate was locked and no one was home.
Lin Yongnian put down the paper and incense in his hand and scratched his head, "Why aren't the second uncles home today?"
"Brother Yongnian?" A soft and weak female voice sounded from behind Lin Yongnian.
When Lin Yongnian turned his head, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a patched blue cloth dress, with her hair tied up, and carrying a bundle of firewood.
"Brother Yongnian really loves you." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.
Lin Yongnian felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.
The woman, carrying firewood, brushed the loose hair from her ears and said with her head down, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. Brother Yongnian, you don't even recognize me. I'm Taohua."
"Peach Blossom? You mean Peach Blossom!" Lin Yongnian widened his eyes.
Du Taohua glanced at Lin Yongnian, then hurriedly lowered her head and nodded.
"Uncle Lin and his friends went to the next village for a drink today, so they shouldn't be back until later. Brother Yongnian, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come to my house, and I'll give you a bowl of noodles."
"Gu..." Lin Yongnian's stomach made a long rumble. He touched his empty stomach and said to Du Taohua, "Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble."
Du Taohua's home is in a small courtyard next to Uncle Lin's. The courtyard is small and old, but Du Taohua keeps it clean. She also raises chickens and rabbits in the small courtyard.
Du Taohua put the firewood under the eaves and opened the door to the main room.
"Brother Yongnian, come in and sit down."
Lin Yongnian put the paper and incense candles outside the house, brought the candy and wine he bought for his second uncle into the house and placed them on the table.
The main room is not big, but Du Taohua has kept it spotless. It is obvious that the hostess of this house is diligent and loves to clean.
"Brother Yongnian, please sit down. I'll make you a bowl of sugar water first." Du Taohua said and went to the kitchen.
Lin Yongnian looked at her slightly hunched back and couldn't help but think of her standing under the peach tree many years ago, stuffing the new shoes into her arms, blushing and saying she would wait for her to come back. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
They and Taohua are said to be childhood sweethearts in the traditional sense, and can be considered each other's first love.
Before going to the city, I had thought that after I made enough money, I would go back to the village to marry Taohua, and then take her to the city with me.
But when I entered the city, I saw that the girls there were much prettier than Taohua.
She was prettier than her, more fashionable than her, and could work to support herself, so her thinking changed.
I just wanted to find a city girl with a job, and then I found Li Shuping.
Taohua Township also waited for a few years, and after she got married, she also got married.
I remember Taohua seemed to have married to a small village twenty miles away. How come she is back in the village now?
"Brother Yongnian, have some sugar water." Du Taohua placed a bowl of sugar water in front of Lin Yongnian, bringing him out of his memories.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." Du Taohua said with her head down, then turned and went back to the kitchen.
Lin Yongnian drank the sweet syrup and soon smelled the aroma of fried eggs.
Lin Yongnian swallowed dryly. It had been a long time since he had eaten fried egg noodles. Zhang Jiao's family often cooked vegetarian noodles.
About fifteen minutes later, Du Taohua brought a large bowl of noodles into the main hall and placed the noodles in front of Lin Yongnian.
"There's nothing good at home, so I just fried two eggs for you. Don't mind, Brother Yongnian." Du Taohua said a little awkwardly.
Lin Yongnian looked at the two fried eggs lying on his face, and suddenly felt his eyes getting hot.
Apart from my mom, this is the first time someone fried two eggs while cooking noodles for me.
Since my mother died, and no one has cooked noodles for me for many years, I fried two eggs.
He thought that Guodong was so good to his son and daughter-in-law that his daughter-in-law was reluctant to cook an extra egg for him and even let Guodong eat it secretly without his knowledge.
녦This woman who had been betrayed by 놛 fried two eggs for 놛 when they met again.
"This is already very good, how could I dislike it?" Lin Yongnian picked up the chopsticks.
Seeing that she had eaten, Du Taohua smiled, picked up the shoes she had not finished making, sat on the small stool by the door and started making them.
Lin Yongnian ate the fragrant fried eggs and looked at the woman sitting at the door with her head lowered, making shoes. He felt that she was gentle and quiet.
