Chapter 383 Your dad is still alive
Is he as brave, resourceful, and intelligent as you? !
Song Shuyun burst into tears while laughing, and she squatted on the ground and sobbed.
Lin Wanxia did not coax or persuade her, but sat quietly on the sofa and watched her cry.
When Song Shuyun's crying gradually subsided, she spoke: "You are not worthy of being a mother! Until now, you have never cared about me, and you only know how to ask for things! I still say the same thing, you want me to do this and that while I am alive. What if I die?"
Song Shuyun stopped crying, slowly stood up with the help of the tea table, and looked at Lin Wanxia in confusion.
Looking at Lin Wanxia's cold eyes, she slowly straightened up.
"You're right!" Song Shuyun said hoarsely, "I'm the least qualified person to ask you to do anything. However, since you are willing to help Qiuxin, please be a good person and let us be together.
No matter how useless I am, I can still cook a meal for her."
Seeing that Song Shuyun made the choice she wanted, Lin Wanxia nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! I asked someone to rent two rooms in a large compound in Songbai Hutong, and I have paid a year's rent. You can move in anytime. Don't worry, I won't let you starve to death, but I won't provide you with a good material life. If you want to live well, you have to rely on your own hands."
Song Shuyun stared at Lin Wanxia blankly, as if she wanted to see another person through Lin Wanxia.
I don't know if she heard what Lin Wanxia said.
Lin Wanxia was a little curious at once: "Since you can ignore me for ten years, why do you have to act like this?"
Song Shuyun's eyes finally began to focus, but they were dim. "Yes! I have ignored you for ten years... You are so nice... I don't deserve it..." She
left the room muttering and walked straight to the door. She
didn't even call Ren Qiuxin.
Lin Wanxia didn't keep her, just watched her walk out quietly.
It was Ren Qiuxin who saw her leaving from the next door and ran out of the room to chase her.
"Mom!"
"Mom, wait for me."
"Mom, why are you crying again."
"..."
Song Shuyun seemed to be called back to life by Ren Qiuxin's calls.
He stopped and looked back at Lin Wanxia, "Back then, I returned to the city because I loved vanity and couldn't stand the hardships of the countryside. But have you ever thought about why your father disappeared not long after? I have been married to him for nine years, and I have never seen through that man. I am not a good mother, and he is not a good father, or even a good person.
Although there is no evidence, you may think I am talking nonsense, but I always think that your father disappeared on purpose. He is still alive.
Lin Wanxia, your choice to live is not necessarily a good thing!"
***
Jiang Sinian's hometown is in the north.
It is not far from the capital. The family of four drove for less than eight hours.
During this period, they also stopped to rest, eat, refuel, etc.
The three big characters of Qianyu Village can be seen from a distance.
The sign is brand new.
Jiang Sinian told Lin Wanxia: "It was a commune and a brigade before, and it has only been two years since it was changed to a village, so the sign is so new. Our village has a long history. It is said that it can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty."
Because Xingxing's bedtime stories have always been different from ordinary people, he knows more about history than ordinary children and is more interested in history.
He poked his head out from between two seats, "Dad, is there anyone in your village who was a high official in the Ming Dynasty?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head, "No, our ancestors were refugees, and they all fled here."
Lin Wanxia was a little curious, "How do you know?"
Jiang Sinian's tone was very firm.
Jiang Sinian stretched out a hand and pointed to the big elm tree at the entrance of the village, which had a sense of history at first glance.
"There is a story engraved on the monument of our village. It tells that our ancestors wandered here to escape disaster and were about to starve to death.
At that time, this place was deserted and uninhabited, with no houses and no animals. This is a place where the sea has receded, and the quality of the land is not suitable for growing crops.
Only this tree has some tender green leaves.
They had no choice but to climb up the tree and pick the tender leaves. Unexpectedly, they were delicious, and most importantly, they saved their lives. After saving their lives, they looked around and found water and more food.
So they simply stayed here, and over time it became a village."
Xingxing listened with gusto, and Yueyue saw that her brother was listening seriously, and she also babbled with interest.
Lin Wanxia, on the other hand, looked at the tree in disbelief, "This tree doesn't look young, but it can't be thousands of years old, right?"
Jiang Sinian shrugged, "I'm not sure whether it's true or not. Anyway, the story on the stone tablet has been passed down from generation to generation."
Xingxing raised her hand and asked, "Since it's a elm tree, it should be called Yuqian Village, why is it called Qianyu Village?"
Yueyue babbled in cooperation, nodding her little head, and looked at Jiang Sinian with her big eyes, obviously waiting for an answer.
"I don't know." Jiang Sinian thought for a moment and added, "I asked this question when I was a kid. It is said that it was originally called Yuqian Village. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, when people came to the village to register, the villagers had a low level of education and wrote the wrong word, Yuqian as Qianyu Village."
The family of four had just finished talking about the old elm tree when they entered the village.
There were many children of different ages playing around the village.
Qianyu Village was a remote place far away from the war, and it is still remote and backward now.
There is not a single car in the village all year round. When the children saw the cars that can only be seen on TV, they stopped playing and ran over.
They didn't dare to get too close and stayed far behind.
This section is all dirt roads, and the car will be bumpy even if it goes fast. In addition, the alleys after entering the village are very narrow, so the speed is not much faster than the walking speed of the villagers.
Don't underestimate the people at this time. They mainly walk for daily work, and their speed is generally very fast.
Jiang Sinian's home is a little east of the village committee compound.
When I got home, there were already a bunch of children following behind me, and even some adults followed curiously.
After all, it was winter, and there was no farm work to do.
Seeing the car parked at the door of Jiang's house, everyone talked about it.
"How could a car come to the Jiang family?"
"Could it be the eldest son of the Jiang family?"
"How is that possible? The eldest son of the Jiang family hasn't been back to the village for many years?"
"Then who could it be? Could it be the fifth son?"
"That can't be? The fifth son seldom comes back since he joined the army. He came back two years ago, and when he did, he walked back alone with a bag on his back."
"Then who else could it be? The Jiang family is penniless, and there are no rich relatives in the family. There are seven children in total, five of whom are here, and only the eldest and the fifth son are away from home because they are in the army."
"Stop arguing, it's the fifth son, he won't get off the car!"
"..."
Hearing this, everyone stretched their necks to look forward.
Who else got off the driver's seat if not Jiang Sinian?
"There's a woman!" Someone pointed and opened the passenger door, "She's prettier than the female stars in the paintings!"
