Chapter 50 Connected
Principal Fang said: "It's pretty good over there now. All the things you brought have been sent there. But after all, the situation is special. I'm afraid I might bump into someone by accident. We haven't talked about it. But they have seen Su from a distance." Su also talked to them, and there’s nothing serious at the moment.”
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
Principal Fang smiled and shook his head, "That's what we should do."
After a pause, Principal Fang brought up the topic of similarities between Cen Wangsu and Cen Haiyan that they had talked about before. Principal Fang frowned and said, "I was thinking before that if you had a chance to go there together this time how nice it is. But this sudden discovery shocked me again."
When Principal Fang said this, she shook her head, "I later felt lucky that you didn't go there."
Lin Nianyin frowned.
When she first saw Su Su, she thought she looked like Wei Mingchuan. Recalling how Wei Mingchuan once said how he discovered his life experience, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it really similar?"
Principal Fang thought about it for a while, "I can't tell. Just like what Su Su said, when he saw it for the first time, he did feel that it looked very similar, but if I stared at it for a long time, I didn't think it look the same."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "It still looks like it."
Principal Fang sighed, "Anyway, I think you should put aside your previous thoughts for the time being and wait and see. If the world changes in a few years, it won't be too late then." .”
Lin Nianyin knew the future development better than Principal Fang. She knew very well that Principal Fang's current comfort would be realized in the future, so she comforted her and said, "I understand. You don't need to be too entangled or worried. I believe that it won't be long before everything will be over." Everything will get better slowly."
Principal Fang smiled and said, "It's better for you young people. You are always full of hope for the future."
Lin Nianyin also smiled.
Putting aside the previous topic, Lin Nianyin said: "Let's have dinner at my house today. It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. Political Commissar Yang must be very busy recently and has no time to go home. Don't go back and cook alone. , Let’s talk about it after eating at our house.”
Principal Fang was not polite, "Okay."
Lin Nianyin looked at Principal Fang's tired face again and said, "Then... why don't you rest at our house for a while? I think you are quite tired."
Principal Fang waved his hand, "Forget it about resting. You also know that I am old. If I fall asleep now, I will definitely be unable to sleep again at night. Then my schedule will be reversed."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "That's fine, then you can help me look after the children at home, and I'll get some food back."
Principal Fang said: "Okay."
Lin Nianyin got up, took some money and tickets, and went out.
The weather has been hot recently, and the meat supply in the family area is relatively small. If you go there late, you won't be able to buy anything good.
It's already mid-afternoon, and I know there's nothing good to do. But Lin Nianyin still went there and saw that there were still some bones and pig's feet, so she asked for some.
Later, she bought some other vegetables and some dried seafood at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then bought some candies and snacks before returning home.
After arriving home, Lin Nianyin first gave some snacks to several children, then cleaned the pig's feet and boiled them with the bones before starting to stew them.
Then I went to the vegetable garden to pull some green leafy vegetables and came back, and then started working on dinner.
When the overbearing fragrance spread out from the kitchen, the children who were playing in the main room suddenly lost interest in continuing to play and started to sniffle and went to the kitchen to watch Lin Nianyin cooking.
Everyone is jealous, except Yaya's situation is a little better.
Lin Nianyin's cooking skills are good, and Su Yingxiu next door is not bad either. Yaya's behavior is quite understandable.
Lin Nianyin smiled and said to the children: "We just started cooking dinner, we can't eat it yet."
The children sighed. Cen Wangsu had been there all this time. He had not tasted Lin Nianyin's craftsmanship for so long, so he was probably greedy.
He licked his lips and took a reluctant look before pulling the others and saying, "We can't eat yet. Let's go out first. Don't disturb Auntie's cooking."
When Lin Nianyin had almost finished dinner, Tian Guihua and Su Yingxiu from next door came over to call for their children.
Goudan and Yaya didn't want to leave. The former did it for the food and Brother Susu, and the latter mainly did it for Brother Susu.
Lin Nianyin said: "How about this? Let the two children eat at our house. The children can't eat much anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Tian Guihua immediately said: "That's so...so embarrassing."
Lin Nianyin said: "It's okay. Children really can't eat much."
Tian Guihua wanted to say something else, but Su Yingxiu put her hands on her waist and said, "That's okay. Otherwise, how about I bring our dinner over and have a meal with you?" .”
Lin Nianyin said, "This would be even better. Principal Fang just came back today, so we can have a good chat while having a meal together."
Su Ying turned around and said, "I'm going home to pick it up now."
Lin Nianyin then looked at Tian Guihua and asked, "Xiaotian, what about you, do you want to come together?"
Tian Guihua thought for two seconds and nodded slowly, "But... okay.
After hesitating for a while, Tian Guihua said sheepishly: "But my...our food...isn't...not delicious."
Lin Nianyin knew that Tian Guihua had good hands, so she didn't expect to get any big meal.
Lin Nianyin said: "It's okay, our family doesn't cook anything good, just some home-cooked food."
Tian Guihua then said: "Then I...I'll take it home too."
Goudan and the others who had been listening nearby suddenly jumped up and said, "Okay, we can have dinner at Aunt Lin's house. I'm so happy!"
Then he hugged Cen Wangsu and laughed "hahaha".
Cen Wangsu pushed Goudan twice but did not push.
Cen Wangsu sighed helplessly and said: "Goudan, please let go of me quickly, I'm about to be strangled to death by you!"
Then, as soon as she finished speaking, Yaya slapped Goudan in the face: "Let go of Brother Susu!"
The little girl followed suit and slapped Goudan, "Go! Go! Go!"
Goudan was stunned for a moment by the two girls, one big and one small. He finally let go of Cen Wangsu, looked at the two girls unhappily and said, "Why are you two beating me?"
Cen Wangsu sighed, then patted Goudan on the forehead, "Because you almost strangled me just now."
"Ah?" Goudan touched the back of his head, "I almost strangled you to death?"
Cen Wangsu nodded and said, "Yes, don't hug people's necks with so much force in the future, otherwise something will happen, do you understand?"
Goudan thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Brother Susu, I'm sorry."
Cen Wangsu patted the Goudan and said, "It doesn't matter, I forgive you, just remember not to do this again next time."
Goudan nodded, "Okay."
After Su Yingxiu and Tian Guihua brought their food from home, they started eating.
After the meal, they took the initiative to help Lin Nianyin clean up.
Su Yingxiu looked at the sky outside and said, "Teacher Lin, I remember that when August passes, the weather will start to get cooler here."
Lin Nianyin recalled it, nodded and said, "It's almost the same. It won't be hotter than now, but it won't be much cooler."
Su Yingxiu frowned and said, "I don't know when Yang Duozhi and the others will come back?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Nianyin looked over, "Are you okay?"
According to Su Yingxiu's personality, there is really no possibility of missing Yang Duozhi. It can only be because of something.
Su Yingxiu said at this time: "It's not a coincidence. Last year, I followed Yang Duozhi to join the army. I had just settled down and had not done anything at home. He went on a mission and would not come back until the Chinese New Year. , it was cold at that time, and it was Chinese New Year, so I had no time to prepare for some things. After the New Year, seeing that the weather was getting warmer, I thought it was time to start decorating our house, but they went out again and I haven’t come back yet. I want to decorate alone, but it’s inconvenient for me!”
"Besides, it's August now, and more than half of the year has passed. If we don't do this, we will wait for another year." Su Yingxiu spread her hands.
Lin Nianyin understood, and then remembered what Su Yingxiu said last winter about building a kang table.
Lin Nianyin asked: "Besides the kang table, what else do you want to do?"
Su Yingxiu raised her hand and pointed at the wall of Lin Nianyin's house, "At least it should be similar to your house. Apply a layer of clean putty powder on the wall and smooth the floor. Of course, if it is convenient, I would like to do more A lot, but there are some things I can’t do alone.”
Lin Nianyin shook her head and said: "It's unknown when they will come back, but Aunt Yang and Xiao Tian both said before that they would also build a kang table this year. You can come together then. Although Yang Duozhi and the others are not here, Master Han will always be there. It's time to ask him and Aunt Yang for help."
Su Yingxiu thought for a moment and said, "That's okay. I'll tell Aunt Yang later. Otherwise, if I keep waiting for Yang Duozhi, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the Year of the Monkey."
Lin Nianyin said: "Then I will draw you the design drawings of the kang table later."
Su Yingxiu nodded and said, "Okay."
Before long, it was completely dark.
The children hadn't seen each other for many days, but they still chatted together.
Principal Fang saw Lin Nianyin and the others had packed up and said, "I'm going back now to bring Su Su a change of clothes."
"No need to bother." Lin Nianyin hurriedly stopped Principal Fang and said, "I made new clothes for Su Su in my spare time. They have been washed and they are all clean and ready to wear."
Principal Fang said: "In that case, I won't take it. I'll go back and wash up and go to bed first. I'm tired from this period of time. I'm old and can't stand it anymore, so I won't accompany you young people." ”
Lin Nianyin nodded and said, "Okay, please be careful on the road."
Principal Fang waved his hand and left under the street lights.
Lin Nianyin and the other adults watched the children at home playing until the lights-out whistle sounded, and then took them home, took a bath, and went to bed.
Two days later, Cen Wangsu started school.
Lin Nianyin prepared a new schoolbag, pens, notebooks, etc. for him.
Cen Wangsu was very happy and promised Lin Nianyin that he would study hard.
At the same time, Su Yingxiu also met with Aunt Yang to discuss the matter of building the kang table.
Aunt Yang was still a little hesitant at first, but because Han Hongxing had been thinking about it before, and she actually agreed last year, she agreed with Su Yingxiu to build one together.
Tian Guihua also agreed.
Lin Nianyin drew the drawings of the kang table and gave them to them, and then told them how to leave space and how to arrange the flue.
Su Yingxiu and Aunt Yang discussed it and finally felt that August was a bit hot. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival would be coming soon, so they had to wait until August passed and the weather cooled down a little.
Around August 15th, the large rice field at the foot of the mountain was almost completely harvested.
It happened to be that the school and two factories were on holiday, and the logistics department said they would send some people to dig lotus roots for them and release water to catch fish. By then, each household would be given some.
Good holiday.
Almost everyone went to the family area.
Children love to join in the fun, so they also go there and get together.
The little girl in Lin Nianyin's family was also the most curious age and wanted to play. Lin Nianyin had no choice but to take the little girl to the lotus pond in the back to watch the fun, and she also stared at the side. Cen Wangsu and the others were chattering.
The water in the lotus pond has almost dried up, revealing the thick mud underneath.
Many soldiers and half-grown boys went down to fish and catch shrimps.
There are some woman down there too.
Han Hongxing rolled up her sleeves on the side and was eager to try, "I want to go down too. I don't want to play with you little brats anymore. It's more interesting to go down and fish!"
Goudan got excited and followed Han Hongxing and said, "I'll go down too, I want to fish too."
Lin Nianyin grabbed Goudan's collar, squinted at Tian Guihua in the pond, and shook her head.
Then, Lin Nianyin said to Goudan: "You are only a little older, but you want to go fishing, so just be patient!"
Goudan and Yaya were also sent to school before
In just a few days, the two little guys already understood the difference between teachers and ordinary adults.
Sometimes when I see Lin Nianyin, she is not as bold as before.
At this moment, Lin Nianyin grabbed him from behind and said this again, and Goudan immediately became honest.
Lin Nianyin looked at Cen Wangsu and Yaya beside her and said, "You two too, I don't care if others want to go down, you are not allowed to go down, or you will see how I deal with you later!"
The three children nodded in fright, and immediately became honest.
Although the lotus pond at the foot of the mountain is large, there are many people working inside, and it didn't take long for them to be cleared out.
The family area here is very large, and naturally there is more than just this pond.
Those people began to move to other places.
Lin Nianyin saw several children mumbling, but she couldn't bear to dampen their interest, so she could only accompany them throughout the whole process to prevent them from being unhappy during the holiday.
In this way, it took three days to clear out everything from the ponds here.
During this period, another Mid-Autumn Festival party began.
However, because no one else in the family was there, and Lin Nianyin and the others didn't have much hope for the party performance, they didn't go over to watch it.
When three days passed, Lin Nianyin distributed a basket of lotus roots, half a bag of lotus pods, and dozens of kilograms of fish of various sizes.
She wasn't that surprised.
Ponds are not raised every year in the family area, usually only once every two or three years. It is not too much to distribute these things at one time.
In a previous life, their family also shared almost the same amount.
Tian Guihua and Su Yingxiu's family next door got slightly less than Lin Nianyin's.
However, Tian Guihua followed them into the water all the time in the past few days and caught a lot of things by herself, even more than what she got.
Su Yingxiu couldn't help but said after seeing it: "It's so hot now, and it's just you and Goudan in your house. You have brought so many things, what will you do if they expire?"
Tian Guihua smiled naively, "It won't go bad. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy salt later. It's salty and can last a long time."
Su Yingxiu shook her head, and Lin Nianyin said: "Don't talk about Xiaotian, we are all about the same. We won't be able to eat these for a while, I'm afraid we have to pickle them and put them away, otherwise it will be a waste."
Su Yingxiu said: "The pickled water fish is not delicious, and it will deteriorate and become sticky after a long time. Later we will go to the mountain to cut some young bamboo and pine branches, and add some spices to smoke it. , made into smoked fish, which is easier to put.”
Lin Nianyin laughed and said, "You are planning to make cured meat in advance."
Su Yingxiu sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it, just think of celebrating the New Year in advance."
Tian Guihua listened for a while and then said, "I'll go with you."
She didn't know if she was in a hurry, but she suddenly said the word "I" again.
Su Yingxiu said with a faint smile: "Hey, you don't want to pickle fish anymore."
Tian Guihua immediately blushed, "I...I...I will learn from you."
Lin Nianyin pulled Su Ying's sleeve and said, "Don't tease Xiaotian all the time."
Su Yingxiu curled her lips.
Not long after, they left the children to play at home and then went up the mountain together.
After hearing this, Aunt Yang followed suit and wanted to go over.
After returning, Lin Nianyin went to Principal Fang again.
Principal Fang's family received more, and she was frowning at those things.
Seeing Lin Nianyin, Principal Fang waved to Lin Nianyin and said, "Xiao Lin, you came just in time. I was just thinking of looking for you."
Lin Nianyin said: "What's wrong? Are you worried about these things?"
"Yes, and no." Principal Fang said, "I just thought about getting some for you later, and I asked Xiao Chen to take the rest to the cafeteria to give those children extra meals."
Lin Nianyin raised an eyebrow, "Send it to the canteen? Didn't you leave any at all in the camp?"
Principal Fang shook his head, "No, there is a large reservoir over there in the camp, and there are a lot of fish, shrimps, lotus roots, etc. in it. But there are so many people there, and no matter how much food there is, there is not enough food. Besides, we are here. We are in the family area. They will definitely not take advantage of us family members. But there are not many people in our family, and Lao Yang is often not at home. If I want so many, there is nothing else to do but put them away, so I might as well give them away. Those kids in the camp to add extra meals.”
Lin Nianyin had never noticed it before, and this was the first time she heard such a statement.
Lin Nianyin said: "I came here to say that Xiao Su and I decided to smoke the fish we were given into bacon. I was thinking about asking you if you would like to join us, but I didn't expect that you planned to give them all away."
"Would it be bad if we make the cured fish now?" Principal Fang frowned and looked at the big sun in the sky and said, "It's too hot now."
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "It won't be bad, but do you really want to give it away? Do you want to keep some?"
Principal Fang said: "As long as it doesn't go bad, you can make it into a preserved fish, so it can be kept. I won't keep it, I'm used to it."
Then he glanced at Lin Nianyin and said, "Then I'll give you some more quickly. You can smoke more so that you can keep it and eat it slowly."
Lin Nianyin waved her hands quickly, "No need, I have it at home."
Principal Fang raised his hand to suppress Lin Nianyin, "Be obedient, just listen to me on this matter, please leave more."
Lin Nianyin then thought about it and agreed to smoke it later and send it to Principal Fang.
Principal Fang picked up some good-quality fish for Lin Nianyin, and then said: "I will decorate it with lotus roots and lotus pods for you, and you can take it back together."
"You want to give away the lotus roots and lotus pods too?" Lin Nianyin thought that Principal Fang was just giving away the fish. After all, the fish couldn't be kept, and the more they were raised, the thinner they became, but the others could.
Principal Fang shook his head and said, "Not entirely. I will keep some lotus pods, peel them off later, and dry them in the sun. I will keep the lotus hearts to soak in water and drink, and the lotus seeds to cook porridge."
Lin Nianyin thought for a moment and said, "These lotus roots can be used to make lotus root powder. Do you want to keep some as well?"
Principal Fang was surprised, "You wouldn't tell me that you can make lotus root noodles, right?"
Lin Nianyin smiled and said, "This isn't difficult."
Principal Fang shook her head and couldn't help but say, "I'm a little curious now, how many things do you know?"
Lin Nianyin recalled the scene in her previous life, shook her head and said, "I don't know exactly, but it shouldn't be much difficult."
Principal Fang has eaten lotus root starch before and particularly likes the soft and smooth texture, but it is almost rare to see it for sale now.
Moreover, eating more lotus root starch is very beneficial to the elderly, children and women.
Principal Fang said: "Since you can do it, I will keep these lotus roots. I will ask you to do it together later."
Lin Nianyin nodded.
When she returned home with the fish given by Principal Fang, Su Yingxiu and the others were busy disemboweling the fish.
When he saw Lin Nianyin, he asked curiously: "Is this what Principal Fang wants to smoke?"
Lin Nianyin told what happened just now, and then said to Nunu in the basket: "...I thought about fumigating these later and leaving them for her."
"That's okay." Su Yingxiu nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Aunt Yang also said just now that she would send some to the canteen over there in the camp. Do you think we should send some there too?"
Lin Nianyin had already thought about it when she heard Principal Fang mention this matter.
At this moment, when she heard Su Yingxiu asking, and Tian Guihua next to her looked nervous again, she quickly shook her head and said, "We don't need it. You forgot, our family members are not here now, and they won't be able to eat if you give it to them." Yes, there is no need to send it. Besides, the other side knows this, and there is a high probability that they won’t want it. If you really want to send it, wait until they come back, and then let them take it over, even if it is to give them extra meals for the group alone. "
"That's it." Su Yingxiu nodded, "That's okay, I don't need to worry about it anymore."
For the next time, they kept collecting the fish.
After cleaning up, Lin Nianyin and others felt that their whole bodies were smelly.
Su Yingxiu frowned and said, "The smell is really fishy. I don't know how many days it will take to wash it off."
Lin Nianyin also sniffed it and said, "Go back and find some mint leaves and lemon juice and wash them together."
Su Yingxiu said, "Then I'll go back to your house and get some mint leaves."
Next, it’s time to pickle the fish.
After finishing her work, Lin Nianyin cleaned herself up from the inside out and felt liberated from the fishy smell.
In the next few days, we will be busy smoking fish, peeling lotus pods, opening lotus seeds, and making lotus root starch.
It was not until the end of August or the beginning of September that Lin Nianyin and the others slowly became leisurely.
It is autumn again now, and the fruits on the mountains are fragrant.
Adults and children in the family area like to run up the mountain.
Even children as old as Cen Wangsu and others like to go.
After going to school, Cen Wangsu got to know more children, and there were also some older children nearby who were used to running around in the mountains. Lin Nianyin thought about it and asked Cen Wangsu and the others several times before letting him start. Explore new worlds.
Lin Nianyin also went up the mountain a few times, picked some fruits from the mountain, went home, and made some jam.
It's great whether you drink it with water, eat it with the lotus root starch, or dip it into steamed buns.
Next to them, Su Yingxiu and her family were also busy building a kang table.
After Principal Fang found out, he also said that she would build one together.
Once all these things are done, September will pass in the blink of an eye.
The heat and sweltering heat barely left, with embers still lingering.
The brown sugar factory has entered its busiest period again.
Harvest, boil sugar and replant.
However, these have little to do with Lin Nianyin for the time being. She still goes to work and takes care of her children as usual.
In November, the weather suddenly turned cooler.
Wei Mingchuan and the others have been gone for almost a year, and there is still no news.
I don't know where he is or what his doing.
In the middle of the year, Principal Fang suddenly came over after dinner one day and said: "Xiao Lin, Xiao Tian and Xiao Su, please go to my house and answer the phone."
"What's wrong?" Lin Nianyin's heart suddenly tightened.
She and Wei Mingchuan no longer have any relatives, and there is no one they need to contact by phone.
This call was made by no one else but Wei Mingchuan.
But at this time, could something happen to Wei Mingchuan
Lin Nianyin suddenly felt her vision go dark, "School...Principal, is it Mingchuan? Mingchuan..."
"Oh, you kid, don't do it yourself!" Principal Fang hurried over and patted Lin Nianyin's arm and said, "Don't be nervous, Xiaowei is fine."
Then he looked at Su Yingxiu and Tian Guihua beside him and said, "Xiao Meng and Xiao Yang are fine too."
Lin Nianyin breathed a sigh of relief.
She was about to ask Principal Fang about the specific situation, when she saw Su Yingxiu, who had remained calm despite the overwhelming task, also turned pale.
On the other hand, Tian Guihua might not have thought much about it at first, but she was fine.
Lin Nianyin took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart, then looked at Principal Fang and asked, "Did Mingchuan and the others call back?"
Principal Fang nodded, "They called me, and I came to ask you to answer the phone. But before the result was explained clearly, you became nervous on your own."
Lin Nianyin gave a bitter smile, "They have been out for almost a whole year, can I not be nervous?"
Principal Fang patted Lin Nianyin's back again, "Okay, don't think too much, just go over there."
Lin Nianyin nodded and quickly carried the little girl to Principal Fang's house.
Su Yingxiu and Tian Guihua also pulled the children at home.
When they arrived, they heard Cen Wangsu talking to someone in the house.
Although she didn't hear the other person's voice, Lin Nianyin could guess from the enthusiasm in Guang Cen Wangsu's words that he was probably talking to Wei Mingchuan.
When I went in and took a look, it was indeed the case.
Cen Wangsu also saw Lin Nianyin and the others. He waved happily to Lin Nianyin and said, "Uncle, aunt and sister are here!"
Wei Mingchuan on the other end of the phone said something, and then Cen Wangsu jumped down from the chair and said: "Aunt, uncle asked you to answer the phone."
Lin Nianyin walked over and picked up the phone, "Hello."
Wei Mingchuan's gentle laughter came through the electric current, "Yin Yin, it's me."
Lin Nianyin blinked, "I know it's you."
Wei Mingchuan said: "My mission here has been completed, but I was notified at the last minute that I was asked to lead the team to participate in this year's year-end competition of major military regions. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while, for fear of worrying you. So I’ll give you a call in advance.”
Lin Nianyin didn't care about any big competition right now. She quickly asked: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Wei Mingchuan laughed and said, "I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all, don't worry."
Lin Nianyin felt relieved when she heard that there was no reluctance in Wei Mingchuan's voice and it was very relaxed.
After thinking for a while, she asked again: "Then when can you come back?"
Wei Mingchuan counted the days on the other end of the phone, and then said: "It will definitely be after New Year's Day. I just calculated that it will be more than half a month later, but less than a month."
That means I can still come back in time to celebrate the New Year.
Lin Nianyin said, "Then come back as soon as you're done."
Wei Mingchuan nodded in agreement, then looked at his mouth and asked: "By the way, you have been asking me just now, how are you doing this year, and whether our Xiaoxiao will run away now?"
Lin Nianyin said: "We are all very good, and Xiaoxiao is also very good. We have been very noisy all day long..."
As she spoke, she originally planned to call the little girl who was playing with Cen Wangsu and Wei Mingchuan to say a few words, but instead she noticed Su Yingxiu and Tian Guihua beside them.
Lin Nianyin came back to her senses immediately and said to Wei Mingchuan: "Are Xiao Yang and Xiao Meng with you? Xiao Tian and Xiao Su are also here with their children. Why don't you let them talk too?"
Wei Mingchuan laughed when he heard this.
After all, there were people nearby, so he didn't insist and said, "Okay, I'll let them answer the phone."
Lin Nianyin immediately heard Yang Duozhi and Meng Chengyi arguing over there.
Not long after, a voice rang in Lin Nianyin's ear, "Sister-in-law, it's me, Meng Chengyi."
Lin Nianyin smiled, and then said to Tian Guihua: "Xiaotian, phone."
Tian Guihua said "ah" and rubbed her hands together, not sure whether she was excited or nervous.
"I...I...I answer...answer the phone...talk!"
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Hurry up and answer the call. Xiao Meng is still waiting. There should be a time limit for their phone calls."
"Oh oh oh." Tian Guihua immediately came to her senses, wiped the sweat from her palms, and then took the handset from Lin Nianyin's hand tremblingly.
Lin Nianyin saw Goudan on the side still playing innocently with the others, so she walked over and said, "Goudan, your father has called back, and your mother is answering the phone. You should also follow over and listen."
Goudan blinked and looked at Lin Nianyin for a while, then looked at Tian Guihua and asked, "What is a phone call?"
Lin Nianyin pointed in the direction of Tian Guihua and said: "The thing your mother is holding now is the phone. You can hear your father's voice talking to your father on it."
Goudan may be too young, or he may have had little contact with Meng Chengyi before, and his relationship is not very deep. He was not very interested when he heard this, but continued to talk to Cen Wangsu.
After Tian Guihua talked to Meng Chengyi for a while, she quickly shouted: "Goudan, Goudan, come here, your father wants to talk to you."
Goudan turned his head and glanced at Tian Guihua, then turned back without interest.
"Goudan! Goudan?" Tian Guihua shouted several more times, but Goudan insisted on ignoring her.
Tian Guihua put down the receiver and dragged Goudan over, asking him to talk to Meng Chengyi.
Goudan frowned and said, "What are you talking about? There's nothing to say."
I don't know what Meng Chengyi said on the other side of the phone, but Goudan said a few words to him, and then ran away without interest.
Next is Yang Duozhi who did not overtake Meng Chengyi.
After Su Yingxiu said a few words to him politely, she also called Yaya to answer the phone.
Yaya, like Goudan, has no interest in this father at all.
When asked, he just shook his head and refused to answer.
Su Yingxiu said: "If Yaya doesn't answer, forget it. We'll talk about it later when you get home."
Immediately afterwards, the call was hung up.
Lin Nianyin saw Su Yingxiu "tsk" and said, "Good guy, I didn't come back until nearly a year after being away. Fortunately, I didn't think of relying on him before."
Lin Nianyin looked at Tian Guihua again. Tian Guihua and Su Yingxiu were completely different.
There was blush and surprise on her face, obviously she was happy because of the news about Meng Chengyi.
There are really all kinds of life, everyone is different.
After getting the news about Wei Mingchuan and the others, Lin Nianyin began to count the days.
It was at this time that she suddenly felt that day by day was going by a little slowly.
At the end of November, Lin Nianyin figured that Wei Mingchuan would be back soon, so she took the money and tickets, bought some meat and started making bacon.
After a few more days, Lin Nianyin finally waited for Wei Mingchuan to return.
It happened to be morning.
As soon as Lin Nianyin opened the door, she saw a car parked at the door. Wei Mingchuan, wearing a military green coat, was leaning against the car door.
The white mist of the early morning lingered lightly around him, and a lot of mist fell on his head and body.
Lin Nianyin was startled and ran over quickly and said, "When did you come back? Why were you standing outside? Why didn't you call me?"
Wei Mingchuan stretched out his hands and hugged Lin Nianyin into his arms, then leaned close to her neck and took a breath.
After laughing, Wei Mingchuan said: "I just arrived, so I didn't stand for long."
"It didn't take long. Look at the fog on your body." Lin Nianyin touched Wei Mingchuan's hair angrily and showed him the water droplets on her hands.
Wei Mingchuan squeezed Lin Nianyin's hand, smiled and said, "It didn't take long."
Then, he quickly scanned around, held Lin Nianyin's hand and touched it to his lips, and then said: "Let's go in first, don't wake up Yang Duozhi and the others."
"Where are they?" Lin Nianyin was about to take a look when she saw Wei Mingchuan pointing to the car behind her.
Lin Nianyin understood immediately and hurried into the house with Wei Mingchuan.
Lin Nianyin said while walking: "You are serious. Since you are back, just call the door. Why do you have to wait outside? Look at you now, are you stupid?"
Wei Mingchuan grabbed the chattering Lin Nianyin from behind, hugged her directly from behind, and said with a smile: "It didn't take long, less than half an hour. The main reason is that it is winter and the fog is heavy."
"That shouldn't be the case." Lin Nianyin patted Wei Mingchuan's hand, "Since it hasn't even disappeared, you should know that it's almost time for me to get up, and you should wake me up and stay alone. Out in the fog."
After thinking about it, she felt dissatisfied. She pinched the back of Wei Mingchuan's hand and said, "Otherwise, you can just stay in the car. You don't have to stay outside, so you won't be too cold."
Wei Mingchuan did not dare to make Lin Nianyin angry. He quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said, "Okay, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Don't be angry."
Lin Nianyin became even more angry.
This attitude shows that you are not at ease.
She was about to say something, but Wei Mingchuan grabbed her waist and lifted her up, then spun her 360 degrees and came face to face with Wei Mingchuan.
Wei Mingchuan smiled at Lin Nianyin and said, "Yinyin, I'm tired and hungry now. Do you have anything to eat?"
Lin Nianyin could tell at first glance that Wei Mingchuan was pretending to be pitiful, but she was reluctant to say anything to him.
She said: "There's only soup that has been simmering on the Kang table. I happened to buy some noodles not long ago. I will give you a bowl of noodles now. You can pad your stomach first."
Wei Mingchuan held Lin Nianyin down and said, "I'll do it myself."
Lin Nianyin patted Wei Mingchuan's hand and said, "We also need to eat. There is hot water in the boiling water bottle. You go and wash it first. By the time you finish washing, the meal will be almost ready."
Wei Mingchuan nodded, then lowered his head and kiss Lin Nianyin's lips.
Not long after they entered the house, the two houses next door opened their doors one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the voices of Yang Duozhi and Meng Chengyi also came out.
Lin Nianyin was afraid that there would not be enough water, so she turned up the fire on the kang table, brought a pot of water and started boiling it again, and then went to the kitchen to prepare noodles.
Wei Mingchuan has a big appetite, and he has been eating and sleeping outside for nearly a year. She knows that he has not eaten anything good, and a little bit is definitely not enough.
Lin Nianyin mixed some more noodles, then took out the remaining dumpling stuffing from yesterday, prepared some additional cabbage, cut it into thin strips, mixed it with the dumpling stuffing, readjusted the taste, and finally made some pies. .
Lin Nianyin made pancakes first.
When the pie was almost ready, she started cooking the noodles.
In the meantime, she went to the main room and looked at the boiling water on the Kang table. It was almost boiling.
Lin Nianyin walked to the shower room, knocked on the door, and asked, "Do you have enough hot water? Do you want to give you some more?"
There was a splash of water in the house, and Wei Mingchuan's voice came out clearly: "No, that's enough."
Lin Nianyin said, "Come out as soon as you've finished washing. I'll have breakfast ready soon."
Wei Mingchuan said "Yeah", "Okay."
By the time Lin Nianyin's rice was cooked, Wei Mingchuan was almost ready.
The little girl in the room also woke up with a groan.
Lin Nianyin took care of the little girl. Wei Mingchuan, who had not seen the child for a year, also watched curiously.
Wei Mingchuan actually wanted to help, but he didn't dare to do it because he was afraid that the little girl would see a stranger as soon as she woke up and become scared.
Wei Mingchuan said: "Xiaoxiao is so old, she must not recognize me I haven't been at home for so long."
Lin Nianyin said: "That's not necessarily the case."
Wei Mingchuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Why, do you really think that our father and daughter are connected? The last time I called, Su Su told me that when he returned from vacation to Teacher Lin's place in summer. Xiaoxiao no longer recognizes him, and it made him sad for a long time."
Lin Nianyin raised her eyebrows and said, "That's different."
At this moment, the little girl lying in Lin Nianyin's arms opened her eyes.
After blinking for a while, she began to stare at Wei Mingchuan beside her.
Wei Mingchuan suddenly froze in place and did not dare to move.
"Yinyin, why is Xiaoxiao looking at me?"
Lin Nianyin picked up the little girl from the bed, put her face to face with Wei Mingchuan, and asked softly: "Does Xiaoxiao know who he is?"
The little girl blinked her eyes and rubbed t
hem again.
Suddenly he said, "Dad."
