"Mom and Dad, are you guys home okay?"
Ding Xiangzhi smiled as she held the phone, her crow's feet forming. She said, "Everything is fine. How about you? How are you doing over there?"
Ever since his daughter left, Ding Xiangzhi was most worried that she would not be able to adapt to the climate there.
Before leaving, I specially packed a jar of soil from home for you to take with you. If you feel unwell, you can take it out and make a cup of it, which will definitely cure you.
Although it has some superstitious elements, it is the mother's painstaking effort.
"I'm fine, my brother is fine, and Gu Chengze is also very good to me. Don't worry, they are on a mission recently and can't answer your call. If there is anything at home, please call me on this number."
It turns out that the boss was on a mission. No wonder I couldn't find him when I called him.
Knowing that he was going on a mission, Ding Xiangzhi felt uneasy again.
"How long have you been gone? When will you be back?"
Lin Jingshu sighed. She also wanted to know, so she consoled him, "I don't know either. This is an internal secret and cannot be disclosed."
Afraid that her mother would worry, Lin Jingshu changed the subject and told her, "I went to school to be a teacher."
As expected, this sentence successfully diverted Ding Xiangzhi's attention.
"Really? This is a great joyous occasion. I knew my daughter was smart since she was little, unlike your second brother."
Second brother?
Does this mean that my second brother has made mother angry again?
"Mom, please don't expose my shortcomings in front of my sister."
Lin Mu is very concerned about his face in front of his sister and he must maintain the authority of a big brother.
Ding Xiangzhi pushed him away and snatched the phone back. The old couple huddled over the phone, each criticizing Lin Mu.
Lin Mu scratched his hair and thought, forget it, I can’t win against them, so let it be.
Ding Xiangzhi was not really angry. As a mother, how could she not love the flesh that fell from her body?
This kid did something really stupid, it's so infuriating.
When the matchmaker came to her door, her old face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't dare to look up at her.
Lin Jingshu comforted her softly, "Didn't you always say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings? Let's not care about Second Brother anymore."
Lin Yongkang patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her, "My daughter is right."
The purpose of life is to live freely.
Worrying about this and that all day long is not only tiring but also exhausting. Over time, you will also become exhausted.
The children are grown up and have their own ideas. As parents, they have to learn to let go.
Just like a bird growing up, sooner or later it will leave the arms of its parents and fly far away.
"I'll listen to you. I'm too lazy to get angry with this brat."
After knowing that his daughter and son were doing well, Ding Xiangzhi finally let go of the worry in his heart.
The mother and daughter didn't care about the cost of the phone call and kept expressing their longing for each other.
Seeing that the people in the queue behind her were getting more urgent, Lin Jingshu hung up the phone in a hurry.
The pickled peppers at home a few days ago are ready to eat. Lin Jingshu picked one out and tasted it first. The saltiness was just right.
Find a few canning bottles, scald them with hot water, wipe them dry and put the pickled peppers in them.
Put it in a basket, cover it with a layer of floral cloth, and take Xiaobai out together.
When I passed by Feng Jinhua's door, I saw that she was setting up a scaffolding to repair the roof of her house.
According to Mrs. Su, the couple quarreled for several days over this matter and were in a cold war without speaking to each other. In the end, it was Aunt Kang who stepped in to mediate and they reconciled.
The leak in the house has not been repaired until now.
Lin Jingshu only took two glances and then looked away.
The distance from home to Aunt Kang's house was not far. When they reached the corner, Lin Jingshu was knocked to the ground by someone without paying attention. In the emergency, she hurriedly protected the basket and avoided a tragedy.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Lin."
Hearing the other party's childish voice, Lin Jingshu looked up and found it was Zhou Damao.
It's class time now, and Damao shouldn't be here.
"Da Mao, didn't you go to class today?"
She didn't have sixth grade classes today, so she didn't know Zhou Damao's specific situation.
Zhou Damao plopped down on the ground and knelt, "Teacher Lin, please save my sister."
Tears as big as beans flowed from her eyes, like a faucet that couldn't stop the water, and kept falling down her cheeks.
"Get up quickly and speak slowly."
Lin Jingshu hurriedly helped her up and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
With her comfort, Zhou Damao slowly stopped crying, but his whole body was still twitching.
Lin Jingshu patted her on the back, trying to calm her down.
Zhou Damao stammered, "Little sister, I have a high fever, but my parents are not at home. I have looked everywhere but can't find them. I really don't know what to do."
Zhou Damao's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. Thinking of his sister lying on the bed with her eyes closed and no sound, tears started to flow again.
The situation was urgent and Lin Jingshu didn't have time to think too much.
"I'll go to your house first. Go get Grandma Kang and Director Gong."
Her words were like a stimulant, and Zhou Damao gradually calmed down.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Zhou Damao ran away, and Lin Jingshu did not delay any longer and rushed to her home.
On the way, people were still complaining about Zhang Sufen and her husband, saying they had no idea what they were thinking by leaving such a young child at home.
Judging from the situation, it seems that the older ones are responsible for looking after the younger ones, otherwise Zhou Damao would not appear here.
This is all speculation. I hope it's not what she thinks.
The door of Zhou Daomao's house was open, and Lin Jingshu walked in while shouting.
"Ermao, are you home?"
Ermao lay in front of the bed and looked at his sister, his eyes red, obviously he had been crying for a long time.
When I heard someone calling me, I thought it was my parents coming back, so I ran out happily.
"dad......"
When he found out it was Lin Jingshu, he lowered his head a little disappointedly, but then his eyes flashed with light.
There were no adults at home, and she and her sister had no money and no way to send her sister to the hospital. She knew Aunt Lin.
Knowing that she was a kind-hearted person, he gritted his teeth and did the same thing as Damao, begging Lin Jingshu to send his sister to the hospital.
This is not moral kidnapping, but a child's helplessness in the face of death.
Even though she usually behaves like a little adult, she becomes terrified when she sees her sister suffering from illness.
Lin Jingshu was startled by her actions. Why did these two sisters kneel down to others at every turn?
"Ermao, where is Sanmao? Take me to see him."
When Ermao heard this, he quickly pulled her into the house.
"When he woke up in the morning, Sanmao felt uncomfortable, couldn't eat, and vomited. My sister and I begged my mother to take him to the hospital, but my mother said he would be fine if he drank more hot water."
"As a result, Sanmao's condition is getting worse. She didn't respond when I called her just now."
Ermao's voice trembled uncontrollably.
After Sanmao was born, the two sisters were together every day.
Eat together and play together.
If anything happened to Sanmao, Ermao didn't dare to think about it.
