Chapter 44: Could it be happening this month?
When talking about his mother, Lu Jinkun seemed to have heard something funny.
He twitched his thin lips slightly, a hint of mockery flashing across his brows.
"What do you do when you see a woman who abandons her husband and children?"
Abandoning husband and children? Wen Sining was stunned. The amount of information was too much for her to digest.
So, Lu Jinkun's mother didn't want him and his father anymore, so she went to Beijing?
Wen Sining didn't know what to say for a moment.
She coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "Grandma is not awake now, what are you going to do?"
Lu Jinkun raised his eyelids, and his deep black eyes fell on her face.
"Grandma only recognizes you. You have to come here every day until she wakes up."
"Me?" Wen Si Ning jumped up from the bed in shock. "Hey, I'm busy too!"
Besides, he only did her one favor, but asked her to come every day. Wouldn’t she be at a huge loss?
No, Wen Si Ning is not someone who will suffer a loss. She needs to think carefully about how to repay this favor.
My grandfather said that when his leave was over, he would take me with him to join the army.
Wen Si Ning doesn't have much time left. In just a few months, she needs to make a qualitative leap in the relationship between her grandparents. She also needs to find the benefactor who helped their Wen family and remind him to avoid that incident in advance.
Thinking of this, Wen Sining had an idea.
"Okay, I can come here every day, but you have to do one thing for me." Wen Sining looked at Lu Jinkun.
"What's up?"
"Help me find someone."
There is a ready-made laborer, why not use him?
What's more, Lu Jinkun wasn't alone. Didn't he have two little followers? If the three of them searched the entire village, they would definitely find that benefactor!
Lu Jinkun frowned and asked her, "Name, age, height, and specific appearance?"
Wen Sining was stunned for a moment and had no idea what Lu Jinkun was asking.
Seeing her confused expression, Lu Jinkun's thick eyebrows were stained with displeasure, "You don't know anything, do you?"
"Wen Yan, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" He tapped the table with his slender fingertips and asked in a cold tone.
Wen Si Ning felt a little guilty, so she smiled to ease the atmosphere, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, I really want to find someone!"
"Although I don't know his name, I have special information."
Lu Jinkun glanced at her and waited for her next words.
Wen Sining said flatteringly, "He has the same surname as you, Lu, and he's from our village. He can drive, and he's probably about the same age as you."
Lu Jinkun's expression was complicated. "Are you sure the person you're looking for isn't me?"
Wen Si Ning shook his head fiercely, his tone firm, "It's not you, this man is my great benefactor, I want to find him to repay the favor."
Lu Jinkun was not interested in hearing about her past, as long as she was not playing tricks on him.
"Got it. I'll help you find the person. You have to come here every day until grandma wakes up."
Wen Sining nodded and vaguely heard the light breathing of Old Lady Lu.
"Grandma is probably asleep. I should go back now."
Lu Jinkun didn't say anything, but strode to the bed. He swiftly climbed out of the window, and Wen Sining followed suit and climbed out.
Lu Jinkun found a candle from somewhere.
Although the candlelight was weak, it was better than nothing. The way back was much easier than the way here.
"Let's go." Lu Jinkun said to her.
Wen Sining hurriedly caught up with Lu Jinkun. The two remained silent along the way, each with their own thoughts.
It was not until he was almost home that Wen Si Ning began to feel scared.
She quickly grabbed the corner of Lu Jinkun's clothes. The man turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
Wen Si Ning huddled in the corner and quickly put his index finger to his lips. "Shh! Keep your voice down. Can you help me check if my brother is home?"
Lu Jinkun glanced at the dark room and the locked door.
"There's no one at home. They must have gone out."
Hearing what he said, Wen Sining breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her cowardly and useless look, Lu Jinkun started to tease her in a good mood.
"Are you so afraid of your brother? If you get married in the future, will your brother still be able to control you?"
Wen Sining glared at him fiercely, "I'm not getting married! I want to stay with my brother and sister-in-law for the rest of my life."
"Brother and sister-in-law? Where did you get your sister-in-law?" Lu Jinkun looked at her as if she were a fool.
Wen Si Ning didn't bother to pay attention to him. He strode to the door, pushed it open, went in, and slammed the door shut with a bang.
"You are so capable!" Lu Jinkun tightened his jaw.
Wen Sining was in a good mood and ran into the kitchen to take a shower.
When she came out of the shower, Wen Jun and Xu Zhiyi also came back.
Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised, "Xianxian, you just finished taking a shower?"
Wen Sining smiled and said, "It's so comfortable to take a bath. I just fell asleep."
"Don't soak for so long next time. The water gets cold quickly and you'll catch a cold easily."
Wen Sining nodded and replied, "I know, brother. I'll go boil some water for Sister Xu."
As she said this, she quickly ran away, and Xu Zhiyi also came in to help.
"Sister Xu, where did you and your brother go so late?" Wen Sining tested the water temperature and asked her.
"We're going to help out at the educated youth camp." Speaking of this, Xu Zhiyi's face lit up with relief. "It won't be long before the educated youth camp is completed."
Wen Sining paused and looked at Xu Zhiyi suddenly, "Sister Xu, are you moving away?"
She blinked, looking reluctant.
Xu Zhiyi looked at her with amusement, "Silly girl, there will always be a day when I have to leave. I can't live in your house forever."
Wen Sining really wanted to say, you can live here forever, as long as you marry my brother.
But when I think about the current relationship between grandma and grandpa, it seems too abrupt to mention feelings.
Only a few words came out of his mouth, and he was reluctant to say what Sister Xu said.
Xu Zhiyi coaxed her for a long time until the water was ready. Wen Sining walked out of the kitchen with a lost look on her face.
Wen Yun, who was chopping wood outside the yard, saw her distraught look and couldn't help asking her, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, how long will your vacation be?"
Wen Jun was confused and said, "One month."
Wen Si Ning pleaded eagerly, "Brother, can't you take a month or two more off? Can we spend the New Year here before leaving?"
Wen Yun refused without hesitation, "No, brother, you are a soldier and must absolutely obey the organization's arrangements. One month of annual leave is the rule, and brother can't and won't make an exception."
Wen Si Ning's brows furrowed more and more. How was she supposed to bring her grandparents together in a month?
She returned to her room, took out a pen and paper and tried hard to recall the past events her grandmother had mentioned to her.
She connected each rough timeline together and made a mind map.
My grandmother said that after the female educated youth who went to the countryside with her got married one after another, in order to protect herself, she took the initiative to find my grandfather.
But there are still no female educated youth getting married. When did this happen?
Grandpa only has one vacation a year. If you miss this time, you will have to wait until next year.
Did it happen this month?
