Lin Qinghuan carried the tray into the main room, her eyes casually glancing at Wei Xiao, who was eating. Coincidentally, Wei Xiao also looked at Lin Qinghuan with a knowing look, and their eyes met, both filled with affection.
Lin Qinghuan smiled sweetly at Wei Xiao and carried the tray into her mother's room.
Lin's mother didn't eat dinner last night, and this morning she only drank a bowl of rice porridge because of a sore throat. She was starving.
She lay in bed, listening to the cheerful laughter coming from the main room. A room full of people were sitting together, eating enthusiastically, but no one remembered her or came in to ask if she was hungry, as if they had forgotten she existed.
She felt wronged, sad, and confused. Suddenly, she felt that her children and husband didn't need her, that she had been abandoned by them, and that she was like a superfluous person.
Sadness and frustration welled up in Lin's mother's heart, and tears unknowingly filled her eyes.
Lin Qinghuan carried the dishes into the room and looked at her mother lying on the bed, saying, "Mom, are you hungry? I've brought you some food. Get up and eat it while it's hot."
Lin's mother looked surprised and a little surprised. She didn't expect Lin Qinghuan to remember that she hadn't eaten.
With mixed feelings, Lin's mother sat up and looked at the food that Lin Qinghuan had brought over. There was rice, meat, vegetables, and a bowl of soup. It was clear that the food had been prepared with care. A myriad of emotions welled up in her heart, and she lowered her head to wipe the corner of her eyes.
Lin Qinghuan saw everything, her eyes flickered, and she pretended not to see anything.
"Mom, take your time eating. I'm going to eat now, and I'll come back to clean up the dishes later."
Lin's mother lowered her head and said softly, "Okay!"
Watching Lin Qinghuan leave the room, Lin's mother's tears fell uncontrollably. She picked up the bowl, saw the soup inside, and a tear dripped into the bowl. With tears in her eyes, she lowered her head and took a sip of the soup. Tears blurred her vision, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up as she murmured to herself, "So delicious!"
The thought of Lin Qinghuan leaving home to live in the city filled Lin's mother with reluctance.
Lin Qinghuan returned to the kitchen, where her aunt asked with concern, "How is your mother?"
"It's nothing," Lin Qinghuan said.
After dinner, Aunt and Fang Li helped clean up and took Lin Qinghui home, while Lin Tang and Uncle stayed to keep Grandpa Lin company.
Lin Qinghuan glanced at the three Lin brothers, who were resting by the kitchen door, and said calmly to Lin Qing, "Pack your change of clothes, we'll be leaving soon."
"Okay," Lin Qing said.
Lin Ming looked at Lin Qing and Lin Feng with a face full of reluctance, feeling very sad. His eldest and second eldest brothers had both left and had bright futures, leaving him alone at home with his parents.
"Why are you looking so gloomy? Once my brother and I have established ourselves in the city, if you want to develop your career there, we'll find you a job and bring you over," Lin Feng said to Lin Ming.
"Really?" Lin Ming asked in surprise.
"Really, why would I lie to you?" Lin Feng laughed.
Lin Qinghuan glanced at Lin Ming. He was impulsive, competitive, and not very bright. If he didn't change his temper, he would be disliked wherever he went.
“Our family has been poor farmers for eight generations. My grandfather was a soldier who killed Japanese devils and fought bandits. Our family background is very good. Although you are not as strong as me, you are still quite strong. Why don’t you join the army?” Lin Qinghuan suggested.
Military discipline is very strict. After Lin Ming joins the army, his personality will definitely become more mature and stable after being tempered over time.
Lin Ming was stunned by Lin Qinghuan's words.
Can he handle being a soldier?
"Third brother, you are indeed suited to be a soldier. Would you like to join the army?" Lin Feng asked.
"Second Brother, a lot of people want to join the army, so there are quotas!" Lin Ming said.
“Every year, the army comes to the village to recruit soldiers. Ask Grandpa to go talk to the village chief. He will definitely give you a spot first,” Lin Qing said.
He didn't like to use his brain, and joining the army didn't require him to use his brain. He just needed to follow orders and abide by the rules. Moreover, being a soldier was a great honor. Lin Ming was very excited at the thought of becoming a soldier.
Seeing Lin Ming's excited expression, Lin Qinghuan smiled slightly, turned around and went into the kitchen to pour a glass of water for her mother. She secretly added spiritual spring water to the water, carried the water to her mother's room, and saw her mother leaning against the headboard with her eyes closed, looking somewhat sad.
"Mom, have a glass of water!" Lin Qinghuan said, handing the glass to her mother.
Lin's mother opened her eyes, took the cup, and slowly drank the water.
Lin Qinghuan finished cleaning up the dishes, picked up the tray, glanced at her mother, and turned to leave the room without hesitation.
