"It's fine, why are you sighing?" Lin Nianyin waved to Cen Wangsu and the little girl and said, "Come here, your Aunt Su has brought you a gift."
"What is it?" the little girl asked as she jumped over.
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "I don't know either. They are all wrapped and your names are posted on the outside. You can take them and see for yourself."
Then, Lin Nianyin picked out her own items from the pile, and then packed up the rest.
There was not a single thing belonging to Yang Duozhi inside.
Lin Nianyin couldn't help but "tsk".
Cen Wangsu was also helping. When he saw it, he said, "Aunt, it seems there is no Uncle Yang. Did Aunt Su forget it?"
Lin Nianyin thought how could it be possible, but she said: "Maybe. The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and I am going to the family home to deliver these things to Yaya. Do you want to come together?"
Cen Wangsu and the little girl nodded quickly, "I want to see Sister Yaya."
Saturday.
After breakfast, Lin Nianyin asked Ji Zhoutong to borrow a car and drove the two children to the family home.
In the past six months, she took the time to get her driver's license, and now she no longer needs to bother Cen Haiyan to drive them.
When she waited, Lin Nianyin realized that there was no one in Yaya's house.
At this time, Tian Guihua heard the noise and came out and said, "Yaya is at our house."
Lin Nianyin walked over and said, "Why is there no one here? I met Su Yingxiu two days ago. She asked me to bring something to Yaya. By the way, there are some for you and Goudan."
"Su Yingxiu is back!" Tian Guihua said in surprise.
Lin Nianyin was about to speak when she saw Yaya running out of the house and looking at her eagerly.
Lin Nianyin shook her head and said, "She came here on a business trip, talked to me for less than three minutes and then left in a hurry."
Afraid that Yaya would cry later, Lin Nianyin said again: "Yaya, come here and take a look. Your mother asked me to bring you this big bag of stuff."
Yaya pursed her lips, and it took her a long time to speak: "Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Seeing this, Cen Wangsu and the little girl hurried over and said, "Sister Yaya, Auntie Xiaosu bought you a lot of things. Let's go and take a look first."
Yaya sniffed, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Okay."
After the children left, Tian Guihua said: "What's going on with Su Yingxiu? She insisted on getting a divorce and refused to listen to any advice. Now that she's back, why don't you come and see Yaya? I see that girl has been recently It’s a miserable time.”
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "I don't know, maybe I'm too busy."
Tian Guihua shook her head in disapproval, "No matter how busy she is, the children are not as important as her. She doesn't care about the children at all."
Tian Guihua and Su Yingxiu are two completely different people.
Even though Tian Guihua is completely different from when she first joined the army, the two are still opposites in their hearts.
Lin Nianyin didn't expect that she could persuade Tian Guihua to understand Su Yingxiu, so she said: "Everyone has different ideas. Maybe she will come here after she is done with her busy schedule. By the way, didn't you keep thinking about work before moving? Is it something? You asked me again last year. It has been almost a year since the reform and opening up. Have you thought about what to do?"
Tian Guihua shook her head and sighed, "I'm a big old man, how could I think of so many things! I was thinking about it, and found that I really didn't know what to do. There were still several mouths waiting for food at home, but it made me worried. of."
Lin Nianyin said: "There are not many people setting up stalls outside to sell things now. You can go out and see what others are selling, and you can refer to it later."
Tian Guihua sighed again, "After all, I still suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated. If I were as edu
cated as you, I would have an iron rice bowl and don't have to worry about anything."
"Don't be in a hurry. There are many opportunities now, so you can think about it slowly." After saying that, Lin Nianyin stood up and said, "I'm going to see Yaya first."
Tian Guihua stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Several children have already taken out their things.
Except for Cen Wangsu and the little girl, everyone put on new clothes and carried new schoolbags.
When Tian Guihua saw this, she immediately frowned and said, "Goudan, what are you doing? Who told you to mess with other people's things?"
Goudan said: "Who said we were tampering? These were originally given to us by Aunt Xiao Su."
Tian Guihua didn't believe it, "What did you say? You're just talking nonsense, right?"
Goudan curled his lips, lowered his head and rummaged for a while, then took out a black windbreaker and said, "Who said I was talking nonsense? I have this for you!"
"You brought it to us too?" Tian Guihua still didn't believe it. "These clothes look very expensive. I don't know how much they cost. Didn't Su Yingxiu buy them for herself?"
Lin Nianyin nodded aside: "No, it's just for you. Not only do you have it, we also have it, but we just didn't take it over."
"This...this..." Tian Guihua opened her mouth, "Su Yingxiu is crazy, how much does this cost! I can't have this, Teacher Lin, please bring it back later."
Lin Nianyin said: "I can't take her back, and I can't find her now. If you don't want her, give it to her yourself after you pick up Su Yingxiu."
Then he walked up to Yaya and asked: "Yaya, how do you feel about these things your mother bought you?"
Yaya nodded, "It looks pretty."
Lin Nianyin said: "As long as she looks good, I just met your mother for a few minutes the day before yesterday. I think she is really busy like that. Don't think too much about it. Maybe you can come and see her after she has been busy for a while." is you."
Yaya pursed her lips and said nothing.
After a while, Yaya suddenly spoke again: "Teacher Lin, can you contact my mother? I want to find her?"
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "We only said a few words when we met, and she only said that she was here on a business trip. The capital is such a big city, and I don't know where she is now."
Yaya opened her mouth and said "oh".
Lin Nianyin saw that the child was really pitiful. After thinking about it, she picked up the clothes on one side and looked at it.
Su Yingxiu is indeed a time traveler and has paid great attention to brand awareness. Every piece of clothing has the e&g logo.
Although Lin Nianyin didn't know what Su Yingxiu was doing in Beijing right now, she could probably guess that it might have something to do with market development.
After thinking about it, Lin Nianyin said: "Your mother is in the clothing business now. I see there is a brand on these clothes. I can drive you around the major commercial streets in Beijing to see if there are any shops similar to this one. But I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to find it, or it’s possible that your mother has left.”
Yaya nodded immediately, "Thank you, Teacher Lin. It doesn't matter even if you can't find it."
Lin Nianyin shook her head and said, "Then should you leave now or wait."
Yaya opened her mouth and said: "Leave now."
Lin Nianyin greeted Tian Guihua, went home, left a note for Wei Mingchuan, and left with the children.
The capital city has changed a lot in the past six months. Several commercial streets have been opened and they are all very prosperous.
Lin Nianyin took her children and drove around the commercial streets, and found a store with the exact same name as the clothes logo.
The decoration of the shop was similar to what Lin Nianyin saw in later generations, and there was a huge crowd at the door.
Through the large glass wall, you can see that buying clothes inside is like robbing.
The little girl stared at the shop with her car window open for a long time, "Mom, Aunt Su's clothes are so popular, people are grabbing them."
"That's because your Aunt Xiao Su is awesome." Lin Nianyin smiled, glanced at Yaya again, and continued: "You see, there are not as many other shops nearby as this one, which means that there are more people in your Aunt Xiao Su's shop. Her clothes are the most beautiful and popular, which shows that she is very successful now."
Yaya nodded and said, "Yes." Then she turned to look at Yaya and said, "Sister Yaya, your mother is so amazing."
Yaya pursed her lips and smiled.
When Lin Nianyin saw this, she said: "I see there are a lot of people inside, and I guess they won't be able to stop for a while, so let's not disturb their business for now. Besides, we can't squeeze in now, and I think Yaya's mother seems to be It’s not inside either, I’ll take you to a nearby restaurant to have something to eat first, and when there are fewer people here, we can come over and ask, okay?”
The little girl and Cen Wangsu both looked at Yaya. Yaya looked at the store several times and nodded, "Okay."
Lin Nianyin took her three children to a nearby restaurant for dinner, took them shopping, and then took them to the store again.
It was already afternoon.
Compared to the busy scene in the morning, there are fewer people now.
Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that there are not many clothes in the store.
Lin Nianyin walked into the store with a few children, and the salesperson immediately said with a sweet smile: "Welcome~"
Lin Nianyin couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Su Yingxiu was indeed quite successful.
At this time, the salesperson came over and said: "Our store mainly sells women's and children's clothing. Of course, we also have a small amount of men's clothing. What kind of clothing do you need here? I can introduce it to you."
Lin Nianyin waved her hands and said with a smile: "Can I ask you something first? Is there anyone named Su Yingxiu here?"
The salesperson's smile paused, "Is there anything you want with her?"
Lin Nianyin said: "Don't get me wrong, my surname is Lin, my name is Lin Nianyin, and I am friends with Su Yingxiu. If you don't believe it, you can call her to confirm."
Lin Nianyin pointed to the phone on the counter.
The salesperson thought for a moment and said, "Then please wait a moment."
Not long after, the call was connected, and the salesperson told the person on the other end of the phone what was going on.
After a while, the salesperson asked Lin Nianyin to answer the phone.
As soon as Lin Nianyin picked up the phone, she heard Su Yingxiu say: "How did you find my store?"
Lin Nianyin explained it once, and then said: "Sorry, Yaya actually took the initiative to speak. I think this child really misses you, so I made this decision without permission."
Su Yingxiu was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "I asked you to help because I was afraid that the child would be angry with me. Since you are all here, just wait for me in the store for a while. I will go there now. "
Lin Nianyin nodded: "Okay."
After putting down the phone, Lin Nianyin said to Yaya: "Your mother said she would come over later."
"Really?" Yaya couldn't believe it.
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Let's wait first."
Over there, the salesperson pointed to the wall and said, "There is a special resting place over there. You can sit down."
About half an hour later, Su Yingxiu appeared at the door of the store.
Yaya, who was originally looking forward to it, suddenly cried out, "Wow..."
Su Yingxiu had no choice but to rush to comfort Yaya. Seeing this, Lin Nianyin simply took the two children and left first.
When they got outside, the little girl asked worriedly: "Mom, do you think Sister Yaya and Aunt Xiao Su can reconcile?"
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "I don't know, but it should be okay."
The little girl suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, Sister Yaya is quite pitiful. Uncle Yang, like Dad, can't see anyone all day long. Aunt Xiao Su has also left. Now she is the only one left in the house over there. It makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.”
Lin Nianyin was speechless.
It's not wrong for Su Yingxiu to pursue what she wants, it's true that Yaya is pitiful, and there is nothing she can do about Yang Duozhi's special situation.
She couldn't tell Su Yingxiu to stay, so she said, "Don't worry about your sister Yaya. Have you done your homework? It seems you are about to take the exam, right?"
The little girl wrinkled her nose at Lin Nianyin, "I know!"
Cen Wangsu suddenly said: "Auntie, do you think Uncle Yang will get married again?"
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "I don't even know about this. You, a child, don't think so much. This is all their own business, and you can't help."
Cen Wangsu said, "I'm just worried about Yaya."
"Then spend more time with her when you have time, but don't talk nonsense in front of her!" Lin Nianyin said.
Cen Wangsu nodded, "I understand."
Lin Nianyin took her two children home, and Su Yingxiu also kept Yaya here.
It wasn't until the next day that she sent Yaya back.
At the same time, Su Yingxiu also helped Tian Guihua find a job.
Just let Tian Guihua sell their brand of clothes, which can be regarded as a small agent.
Later, Su Yingxiu and Lin Nianyin said that she just disliked Tian Guihua and was so annoying that she always advised her to remarry Yang Duozhi.
Some time later, Wei Mingchuan came back one day and said, "Now a large number of overseas Chinese are returning to China to invest, and the Lin family is coming back soon. Do you want to recognize them this time?"
Lin Nianyin's father, Lin Shu, was the youngest son of the Lin family, which was once prominent in Xizhou.
When the war broke out in Xizhou, Lin Shuhe fled with his family. Unexpectedly, they were separated on the way. Some of his relatives fled abroad, while others were in exile in the country, running for their lives.
After Lin Shuhe was separated from others, he was lucky enough to be adopted by Mr. Lin and survived.
In those years, he never gave up the idea of finding his relatives, but there was no news.
Unexpectedly, a revolution broke out later, and everyone everywhere went crazy.
Lin Shuhe was afraid that they would be found out, so he immediately called Lin Nianyin home on the pretext of being seriously ill. He even forced Lin Nianyin to marry Wei Mingchuan, hoping to use Wei Mingchuan's special status to protect her.
Lin Nianyin only knew these things before Lin Shuhe died.
In his previous life, Lin Shuhe's last wish was not only for Lin Nianyin to take care of himself, but also to find his lost relatives.
Lin Nianyin has also been thinking about this matter and helped to find it.
Unfortunately, although she helped find him later, she found that there was no news about those who fled in the country, and perhaps none of them had survived the war.
Those who fled abroad may have been influenced by Western ideas, or maybe because Lin Shuhe was from the third family and they were from the first family, they did not care about these so-called family relationships. Instead, they frequently wanted to use Wei Mingchuan's identity to achieve some ulterior purpose.
In her previous life, Lin Nianyin later broke off all contact with those people.
In this life, Lin Nianyin doesn't want to look for it anymore.
Lin Nianyin shook her head and said, "Forget it, you know what kind of people they are, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."
Wei Mingchuan said: "I have a mission here. Since you said so, I will let it go."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "I am aware of the current situation, and I also know that many people return to China to invest for impure purposes. I also know their nature better. You don't need to consider my feelings, and I don't care about them."
For a long time after that, Wei Mingchuan had been on missions and rarely came back.
It’s the same even during the Chinese New Year.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, many people came over to wish Ji Zhou and them New Year greetings. Somehow they mentioned Cen Haiyan and said that it was not good for Cen Haiyan to stay single all the time and that he should consider finding another one.
Aunt Li opened her mouth and told the story of why the Su family asked her for help, and then said: "Let me tell you, I told you a long time ago that they are not willing."
A group of people began to turn around and ask Cen Shuyao and Cen Haiyan, chattering about their ideological work.
Cen Wangsu and the little girl were also there at that time.
I didn’t know who it was, but I called out first and said, “Susu, how about asking your dad to find you a mother to take care of you?”
Before Cen Wangsu could say anything, the little girl immediately became furious, "It's not that great. It would be great if my brother had us. He doesn't need a stepmother!"
"Xiaoxiao!" Lin Nianyin shouted hurriedly.
At this time, I heard someone laughing: "Girl, we are talking about your brother, not you. Your brother hasn't said anything yet, but you are angry first."
The little girl immediately said: "If I say no, I won't!"
"Xiaoxiao!" Lin Nianyin looked over, pointed at the stairs and said, "Susu, you and your sister go back to the house first."
The little girl turned her head away from Lin Nianyin.
The other side continued, "You little girl is young and ignorant. Your own parents are here and you don't know the suffering of others. We are not saying this for your brother's benefit!"
Lin Nianyin was worried that the little girl would be even more angry later, so she said: "This kind of thing is always the elder brother's own business. It's better to wait until he comes back and ask him what he thinks. If the elder brother doesn't agree, it's useless to ask a child. "
Cen Shuyao also said: "That's right, why are you saying this in front of children?"
Others quickly talked to Cen Shuyao.
Lin Nianyin saw the opportunity and quickly took her two children out.
When they got outside, Lin Nianyin patted Cen Wangsu on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because of what they just said?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I can't explain it."
Lin Nianyin thought for a while and then asked: "Then do you want your father to marry again?"
Cen Wangsu did not answer, but asked: "Aunt, why didn't you persuade Aunt Su not to divorce and go to Shenzhen?"
Lin Nianyin said: "Because of what Aunt Xiao Su wants to do."
Cen Wangsu said: "If dad wants to get married, I won't stop him. After all, the most important thing is to make him happy."
The little girl frowned, "How can you agree to this? What will you do if your stepmother secretly bullies you?"
Cen Wangsu said: "It's okay. I'm fourteen now. I'm almost an adult. Who can bully me casually? Besides, haven't you always protected me like a little tiger?"
The little girl pursed her lips, "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst! If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather!"
"What are you talking about!" Lin Nianyin patted the little girl on the head, "Your Aunt Su is also a stepmother. Why hasn't she abused Yaya? Don't think about it all day long."
"Aunt Xiao Su is the stepmother!" the little girl shouted: "Mom, you are lying!"
"I have got nothing to do with lying to you." Lin Nianyin said and glanced at Cen Wangsu and said: "Back then, you and Yaya were with the army. I still remember the first time I saw Yaya. She was so small and thin. Yes, she is very timid and dare not speak. It was your Aunt Su who brought her up little by little to be like this. I wonder if you still remember what happened at that time?"
Cen Wangsu thought for a while and said, "I guess so. Yaya really didn't like to talk for a while before."
Lin Nianyin said: "Look, not all stepmothers in this world are bad. There are also some like Aunt Su. Don't listen to the wind and it will be rain."
"Besides, this matter is your uncle's own business anyway. Don't turn around and talk nonsense in front of him. Otherwise, be careful and I'll spank you!" Lin Nianyin pointed at the little girl again.
The little girl wrinkled her nose, "I know!"
Probably still a little unconvinced, "I don't care anyway. If the uncle really marries a stepmother for my brother, And if the stepmother is good, I'll forget it. But if the stepmother is bad, I will definitely not let her go."
Lin Nianyin hit the little girl on the head and said, "Please calm down."
Cen Wangsu added: "Actually, I have thought about this issue before. At the beginning, I was quite worried about my father marrying again. But in the past two years, I have thought about it a lot. I feel that I can't let my father do anything for me and, Gave up his own life. And I have to go to college and work in the future, so I can’t always be with him. It would be nice if someone could always be with him.”
Lin Nianyin breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, although she was good at educating little girls, she still ranked Cen Wangsu ahead of Cen Haiyan.
If Cen Wangsu didn't mind this matter, it didn't matter to her. If Cen Wangsu objected, she actually didn't want to persuade him.
Lin Nianyin said: "I'm relieved if you think like this, but after all, this matter still depends on your father's own wishes, so don't think too much about it."
Cen Wangsu nodded.
When Cen Haiyan came back, he heard about it.
Afterwards, the father and son went out.
When Cen Wangsu came back, he told Lin Nianyin, "Aunt, I talked to my dad, but he said he didn't want to get married anymore, and he told me not to worry."
Lin Nianyin asked: "Then what did you say?"
Cen Wangsu said: "I just said I wasn't against it. I was worried that he wouldn't want to get married because of me, and I even tried to persuade him, but he really didn't seem to have any idea. Do you think what my dad said was true or false?"
Lin Nian Yinxian thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but I know that your Aunt Su is a similar person. She will not get married again for the rest of her life. She just wants to develop her career."
Cen Wangsu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved. I'm actually a little worried that my dad lied to me."
Lin Nianyin patted Cen Wangsu.
Afterwards, Cen Haiyan rejected the matchmakers who wanted to come to her one by one, and even said that he would never get married again in this life.
Some people thought he said this because of Cen Wangsu, and Cen Haiyan also explained everything.
The protagonist's side has said this, and no one is bothering anymore.
In 1981, Cen Wangsu took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the medical school of his dreams, starting his first life away from home.
Although the school was still in the city, the little girl cried because she couldn't see her brother because she had to live on campus.
In 1983, the first severe crackdown began.
The little girl is about to take the high school entrance examination this year.
Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan waited until the little girl passed the exam and then took her back to Xiaoqingshan.
Cen Wangsu originally wanted to follow him, but he had to do an internship and couldn't leave.
It has been more than ten years since Lin Nianyin and the others left.
But there are still no big changes here in Xiaoqingshan.
Lin Nianyin and the others followed their memories and came to Lin Changhuai's home.
Knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was a child of six or seven years old, with a tough head and a tough brain.
When they saw Lin Nianyin, they asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Nianyin asked: "Is this the home of Captain Lin Chang Huailin?"
The child nodded, "Why are you looking for my grandpa?"
Lin Nianyin said: "My surname is also Lin, and my name is Lin Nianyin. Have you heard of my name?"
The child thought for a while, "The daughter in-law of Dong Cuiping who was shot?"
Dong Cuiping, who had enjoyed some comfort for several years due to severe crackdowns before, was completely punished.
Lin Nianyin thought for a moment and said, "I used to be Dong Cuiping's daughter in-law, but no longer."
"I know, she is a child thief." The child said and opened the door: "Then you come in."
There was no one in the house.
Lin Nianyin asked: "Where are your grandparents and the others?"
The child said: "Let's go to work."
"Then what's your name?"
"My name is Shengli"
"Shengli, do you know where your grandparents and the others work?"
"Dayan Bay."
Lin Nianyin looked at Wei Mingchuan and said, "Let's go find them or wait here for a while."
Wei Mingchuan looked at the little girl and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to see where your father and mother grew up?"
The little girl nodded, "Okay."
Wei Mingchuan said: "Let's go out and take a look."
Lin Nianyin looked at Shengli and said, "Shengli, Can we put our luggage at your house. And you can look after it for me, okay?"
Shengli nodded, "Yeah."
So Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan took the little girl to visit the area again.
On the way, we also met Wei Mingjin and the others.
After not seeing each other for so many years, Wei Mingjin and the others have shown their age and no longer look like the villains they once were.
They didn't even dare to come out when they saw Wei Mingchuan and the others.
But Wei Mingyang was not seen.
It wasn't until they met Lin Changhuai and the others at night that Lin Nianyin and the others learned that Wei Mingyang had been working and studying after what happened that year. Later, after the college entrance examination was resumed, he was admitted to university and has now been assigned a job. I came back once after dong Cuiping death.
Lin Changhuai said with emotion: "Speaking of Mingyang's child, good things come from bad bamboos. Sometimes I wish that he was stolen by Dong Cuiping like you. That child wouldn't be so difficult. It's a pity. This is all Life."
"However, he has to thank you Mingchuan no matter what. You didn't blame Dong Cuiping on him for what he did, and asked him to study hard. Later, when the college entrance examination was resumed, you also sent him review materials, otherwise he couldn't have the life he had now.”
Wei Mingchuan smiled and remained silent.
No matter what, Wei Mingyang has never done anything wrong. But at that time, in order to deal with Dong Cuiping, Wei Mingyang was indeed implicated. Now that he can go out and have a new life, he no longer owes him anything.
Later, Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan took the little girl to stay in Xiaoqingshan for a few days, visited Lin Shu and their graves, and talked about what happened over the years before leaving.
Wei Mingchuan has not been able to take a break in the past few years, so he took a big vacation this year.
They didn't go home at all, but took the little girl for a walk around, and also let the little girl gain some knowledge.
When they arrived in Shanghai, they met a film crew filming in Shanghai.
The little girl watched curiously, but she didn't expect to be spotted as a young actress.
For this reason, it also inspired the little girl's interest in becoming an actress, and she no longer talked about becoming a doctor like Cen Wangsu.
After returning home, the little girl announced her decision and started working hard.
Three years later, the little girl was admitted to the film academy. Cen Wangsu also just graduated and chose to study abroad.
Ji Zhoutong completely retired, and Cen Shuyao also chose to retire.
Wei Mingchuan is one step closer and no longer needs to go on missions from time to time.
Lin Nianyin has also completed graduate and doctoral studies in the past few years, obtained a degree, improved her professional title, and even joined a research institute.
the other side--
Su Yingxiu's clothing Company is already the best in the country and is even sold abroad.
Tian Guihua, who chatters all day long, has also become the largest agent of Su Yingxiu's clothing company in Beijing. She is busy all day long and no longer says anything to Su Yingxiu about sacrificing everything for the family. Sometimes she even I despise Meng Chengyi and several children for being annoying.
Aunt Yang and Principal Fang had also moved here long time ago, and occasionally they would meet with Lin Nianyin.
Everyone is moving towards the light.
