Lin Yongnian said nothing, just kept pouring wine and drinking.
Lin Yongsheng and Tang Xiangqin looked at each other. It was obvious that Brother 꺶 was worried about something.
"Speaking of Sister Shuping, why didn't she come back with you this time?" Tang Xiangqin asked.
In previous years, when he came back, Sister Shuping always came with him.
Lin Yongnian, whose face was red from drinking, sighed and said, "Divorced."
"Divorced what?" Uncle Lin asked, not understanding what he meant.
Lin Yongnian said: "Divorced."
"Divorced!" The Lin family was shocked.
No one in their village gets divorced, so these two words are rarely heard.
Hearing someone say someone is divorced is more shocking than hearing someone was murdered.
Lin Yongnian nodded and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Why did you get divorced?" Uncle Lin asked with a frown.
This divorce is very shameful!
Lin Yongnian said, "That's Li Shuping's fault. She already has grandchildren, and her two sons are married. She doesn't want to live a good life anymore, and she insists on divorcing me, as if I, Lin Yongnian, have done her a disservice."
"Sister Shuping looks like a virtuous and down-to-earth person. How could this happen?" Tang Xiangqin couldn't understand.
Lin Yongnian: "People change. Li Shuping suddenly went crazy and beat me and Guodong. She didn't even take care of her grandson and even severed the mother-son relationship with her two sons. She's completely disgraced us."
Tang Xiangqin: "Oh my God."
Uncle Lin said with a sullen face: "She even dared to hit a man. This is really outrageous."
Lin Yongsheng: "No? How can a woman hit a man? She's really gone too far. I never thought Li Shuping would be such a person. I used to think she was a nice person."
Lin Yongnian sighed and said, "People like this are always good at hiding their true nature. You really can't tell what kind of person she is until the time comes. I really regret not listening to my mother back then."
When he took Li Shuping back to his hometown to meet his parents, his mother was not very supportive, saying that a woman with Li Shuping's looks might appear honest, but she would be uneasy inside, unlike a country girl who was more down-to-earth.
It was he who decided at that time that he wanted to marry Li Shuping and start a family with her.
Now it seems that his mother was not wrong.
"Then uncle, you are single now, right?" Lin Fufu asked.
Lin Yongnian took a bite of the rabbit meat and nodded. This rabbit meat is really delicious.
Taohua's life was not easy, and she even killed the rabbit she had fattened with great difficulty for him to eat. Her feelings for him were the most sincere and pure.
Lin Yongsheng slammed the table, "Brother, you're single now, and my sister Taohua is a widow, and her only daughter is married. She's all alone now, free of burdens and encumbrances. Is it possible for you to rekindle your relationship with my sister Taohua?"
Uncle Lin nodded and said, "A man still needs a woman to serve him. You said you've been dreaming about your mother recently. Your mother must have seen from heaven that you're divorced and have no one to take care of you, so she came to you in your dreams to ask you to come back."
Lin Yongsheng: "Don't tell me, it's really possible. Didn't my aunt want my brother to marry Sister Taohua?"
After hearing what they said, Lin Yongnian felt that this was possible. Otherwise, why didn't he dream about his mother in the morning or in the evening, but dreamed about her so frequently after his divorce from Li Shuping?
"Brother, you might as well marry my sister Taohua. It's obvious that my Taohua still misses you. If you tell her that you want to marry her, she will definitely agree and take good care of you." Lin Yongsheng looked at Lin Yongnian and said.
Lin Yongnian stroked the wine glass in his hand and said, "Let me think about it."
Lin Yongnian thought about this matter until late at night before falling asleep, and after falling asleep he dreamed of his mother.
In the dream, his mother held his hand and cried, saying that she was particularly worried about him because there was no one to take care of him.
The next morning after breakfast, Lin Yongnian was about to return to the city.
Lin Yongsheng picked a bag of pomegranates and asked him to take it home for his children to eat.
Before leaving, Lin Yongnian gave fifty cents to each of his two nephews, but did not give any money to his second uncle.
Lin Yongsheng and his son sent Lin Yongnian to 꺶 Road껗, and only went back after seeing him walk away.
Lin Yongnian was walking along the road leading to the town, carrying a shoulder bag on his back and a bag of pomegranates in his hand.
He had to walk to the town to take a bus to the county seat, and then take a bus back home from the county seat.
As he was walking over a small hill, someone suddenly called him.
"Brother Yongnian."
Lin Yongnian paused, turned around and saw Du Taohua.
Lin Yongnian's pupils trembled, "Peach Blossom."
Du Taohua walked down the hillside, came to Lin Yongnian, and handed him the fragrant oil-paper bag in her hand.
"Brother Yongnian, there's a market in town today. I went to the market before dawn and bought some meat. I made your favorite pork and scallion buns. Take them to eat."
"Taohua." Lin Yongnian was deeply moved and couldn't help but grab Taohua's hand.
After so many years, she still remembered that he loved pork and scallion buns the most.
For him, I went to the town before dawn to buy meat and make dumplings at home.
Taohua seemed to be frightened and pulled her hand back, "Brother Yongnian, don't do this."
Lin Yongnian took the oil-paper bag from her hand, looked at Taohua seriously and said, "Taohua, wait for me. This time, I will never let you down again."
Du Taohua: “?”
Lin Yongnian left, and Du Taohua walked all the way home without figuring out what Lin Yongnian meant by what he said before he left.
It wasn't until Tang Xiangqin came to return the bowl that she understood.
It turned out that Brother Yongnian was already divorced. It was because the wife he married in the city was too troublesome and she asked for a divorce.
What Brother Yongnian meant by that was that he wanted to rekindle their past relationship and asked her to wait for him to come back and marry her.
After all these years, she really hasn't let go of Brother Yongnian. Since Brother Yongnian's ex-wife didn't cherish him, then it's her turn to cherish him.
Just like more than 20 years ago, Du Taohua began to wait for Lin Yongnian to come back and marry her.
Lin Jianshe was finally able to speak clearly, and the nurse asked for his name, home address, and family phone number.
Lin Jianshe reported the steel plant's phone number and his father's name. Although his father said he didn't care about him anymore, he was so injured. His father would definitely come to the hospital to see him and take a leave to take care of him.
He now has to pee outside the bed and use a urinal. It's really not okay without someone to take care of him.
