Chapter 413 Who would want to die if they can live?

Lin Wanxia understood what the secretary meant.

The secretary did not read much, so the metaphor he quoted was inappropriate.

At least Lin Wanxia felt that "Books cannot be read unless they are borrowed" was more appropriate.

People know that borrowed books must be returned, so they will rush to read them, but books bought by themselves are considered their own and can be read at any time, so they will leave them on the bookshelf to gather dust.

The secretary meant something similar, letting the children know that it was Lin Wanxia who lent them money to go to school, so they would cherish the opportunity to go to school.

At least they would be more serious than usual.

But if Lin Wanxia donated unconditionally, everyone's gratitude would fade after a while.

If the donations continued, maybe they would gradually take it for granted, and even gratitude would disappear.

The secretary of the village committee said that Jiang Sinian could understand what Lin Wanxia could understand.

Jiang Sinian made the decision and accepted the IOU.

The village chief added: "When the school is built, I will ask someone to print this IOU on the wall."

Lin Wanxia: "No need!"

It seems that she is the same as Huang Shiren.

Later, the village chief still printed it, but at the insistence of Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia, ​​he only printed the IOU on a corner of the stone tablet.

But this is a later story.

When Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia left the secretary's house and returned to the Jiang family, the turmoil in the Jiang family had subsided.

The third sister sat at the table with red eyes. When she saw Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian coming back, she turned around and avoided them.

Jiang's mother was lying on the kang in the inner room, groaning sickly.

Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows, pretending that she saw nothing. She bent down and picked up Xiao Yueyue who was playing on the ground, and said, "We are going to pack up and leave the day after tomorrow! Dad, you have to keep your word."

Jiang's father: "..."

"So soon? Can't you come back after the 15th?"

"In principle, you can, but maybe you can come back after the 15th."

You can come back after the examination.

Except for Jiang Sinian, the others reacted strongly.

"Dad, what did you promise him? You can't be so partial, right? I was born by you too, and now I have nothing. Can you think about me too?" The third sister cried aggrievedly when she said this.

The fourth brother and his wife looked at each other and said nothing.

From the beginning of the year to now, they have dealt with Lin Wanxia's family the most.

Not to mention whether there is something that Lin Wanxia likes at home, even if there is, Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian will not want it.

Jiang's mother hummed even louder in the inner room.

"Why should I report to you now? You have nothing because of yourself? Don't worry, if I die, you will definitely get a share of my belongings. If you have nothing to do, go and call the second child back to have a reunion dinner. Give it to the fifth child."

***

Father Jiang did not tell his family that he was leaving. He waited downstairs with his bag on his back like a thief.

Lin Wanxia and her family did not have the habit of getting up early. When they went downstairs and saw Father Jiang's stiff posture, they knew that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Dad!" Jiang Sinian disagreed, "You have to tell my mom something, right?"

"Tell what? It's fine like this. Don't look at her aggressively all day long, she's actually very timid. If she really knew about me and scared me to death, you'll be in even bigger trouble. Let's go!"

Jiang Sinian couldn't persuade his father, so he had to drive off.

There were five of them when they came, and there were four of them when they left.

Lin Wanxia left a key to this house for her fourth sister-in-law.

She told her fourth sister-in-law, "If you feel uncomfortable, if you have a quarrel with your fourth brother, or if you have been wronged and have no place to stay, or if you have something you want to hide from others, you can come here." She

also left a list of greenhouses and tips on how to sell greenhouse vegetables and fruits.

If it weren't for Jiang's father, Lin Wanxia wanted to stay in the greenhouse until the first crop of vegetables grew and sold.

During those few days before the New Year when she was not busy, Lin Wanxia did not stroll around in vain.

She went to the city and the county town, copied the list of hotels that had the ability and demand, and the phone numbers, and left a copy for her fourth brother and his wife. She

also told her fourth brother and his wife to be honest and keep the money for themselves.

If anyone else asked about the money, they should say that Lin Wanxia borrowed it to build the greenhouse and needed to return it to Lin Wanxia.

The fourth brother and his wife did not agree at first.

It was Lin Wanxia who said, "Only when you have money in your hands can you be bold when buying things. Only then can you let your children go to school if you want."

It took six hours to walk from Qianyu Village to the capital.

It was just after noon when they arrived in the capital.

Because she called in advance, Tina arranged for someone to come over and light the stove and heat up the earth heater.

There was steaming hot food on the table.

Lin Wanxia's family has always had two nannies.

One is Aunt Wang, who has watched Yueyue grow up since she was a child, and the other is hired in Beijing, who is mainly responsible for hygiene, laundry and cooking.

Aunt Wang is still at home reuniting with her family, and will come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This nanny, Lin Wanxia calls her Aunt Song.

Aunt Song was hired by Qian Xudong. She is very efficient and a good cook.

When Jiang's father was in the Jiang family, he was the head of the family and his words were law. When

she came here, she felt like Granny Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden. She was uncomfortable and cramped.

But she didn't look around like Grandma Liu.

"Dad, this is your own home, you don't have to be so restrained."

Father Jiang nodded, but he was still reserved.

Even if he wanted to smoke a pipe, he would sneak out to smoke it.

He was afraid that the room would be filled with smoke.

For the first time, Lin Wanxia had a visual definition of the phrase "living under someone else's roof."

But she didn't say anything. In the afternoon, she took Father Jiang to climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City.

In the evening, they had roast duck.

The next day, Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia took Jiang's father to the hospital early in the morning.

Tina and Qian Xudong took care of the child.

It took a whole day to register, check, and take X-rays.

Fortunately, there are fewer people going to the hospital for treatment now, unlike before, when it took many days to queue up.

As a result, it took two days to get it.

The next day, Jiang Sinian took Jiang's father to watch the national flag raising.

Lin Wanxia couldn't get up and didn't go.

Then they started to visit museums and the Old Summer Palace.

On the fourth day, Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian went to the hospital without telling Jiang's father.

The doctor said that Jiang's father's illness was a bit serious, but it was not to the point where he could not be saved.

It was emphysema, but it was still in the early stages and could be treated outside the hospital.

Not only did he have to take medicine, but he also had to quit smoking and drinking.

Lin Wanxia was waiting in the hospital, and Jiang Sinian went home to pick up Jiang's father.

Sometimes, what outsiders say is always more effective than what family members say.

For example, children will listen to their teachers more, and patients will listen to their doctors more.

Sure enough, after listening to the doctor's instructions, Jiang's father broke the dry tobacco bag and threw it into the trash can when he came out of the hospital.

Lin Wanxia teased him, "Dad, you broke it, and you are not allowed to buy it again when you are addicted to cigarettes."

"Yeah." Jiang's father nodded and smiled, "Who would want to seek death if they can live."

The doctor made it clear that if the emphysema is serious, there is no cure.

In any case, it was barely a false alarm, or it could be said that the god of death issued a yellow card warning.
