After the old lady joined, Lin Mo felt much more relaxed. He is in charge of frying potatoes to adjust the taste, and the old lady is in charge of collecting the money. The old lady is old and sophisticated, and almost no one can 'evade fare' from her.
After a few days, Lin Mo can earn more than one hundred dollars almost every day. The old lady and Lin Jian, who were always worried because of the huge debt, lost a lot of depression between their brows. Lin Jian is in his prime, and he has been working in the fields all year round. His body is in good shape, his mood is good, and his injuries are healing well.
After being transferred to the general ward, under Lin Mo's food strategy, the enthusiastic family members of the patients saw that Lin Mo and the old lady were busy going in and out every day, and they would also take the initiative to help take care of Lin Jian. Lin Jian's injuries were mainly on his legs, and apart from his limited mobility, there was nothing else. But just because I can't move my legs at all now, going to the toilet is especially troublesome.
After all, Lin Mo is young, and his body is not as strong as other boys, so it is really embarrassing to carry Lin Jian to the toilet or something. Fortunately, several family members of the patients in the same ward were very enthusiastic and often took the initiative to help Lin Jian, which made Lin Mo and the old lady very grateful.
On Tuesday, Lin Changqing took Lin Shu to Jincheng to see Lin Jian.
When Xiao Pangdun arrived at the hospital, as soon as he saw Lin Jian, he rushed to his side and burst into tears with a 'wow'. Lin Jian coaxed him for a while before he stopped sobbing. A pair of slightly shrunken chubby hands held Lin Jian's arms and refused to let go, as if he was afraid that Lin Jian would not want him anymore.
Little Fatty lost a lot of weight, and his little round face was not as pouty as before. It’s not that Lin Changqing’s family stole him. Speaking of which, the living standard of Lin Changqing’s family is much better than that of Lin Jian’s. Every day, fish, meat, fruit, etc. are never broken, but no matter how good the food is, it belongs to someone else’s family. , because of family reasons, Lin Shu's mind is more sensitive than other children, listening to the gossip of the village every day, how could he be heartless and eat deliciously
Among these gossip, the one that frightened Lin Shu the most and even panicked was that his father wanted to adopt him to Lin Hai.
Lin Shu is small, so he can't tell the truth of these rumors, but it's not like a child has no thoughts at all. People in the village thought he was small, and they talked about him in front of his back. Wang Yanyan ran away with the wild man, Lin Jian went to Jincheng to see his legs and paid tens of thousands, Lin Shu stayed at Lin Changqing's house all day long, and Lin Changqing always wanted a grandson, but his daughter-in-law refused to have one. Things are too easy to arouse people's associations. Gradually, no matter how Lin Changqing explained to others, there were rumors in the village that Lin Jian wanted to 'adopt' his youngest son to Lin Hai.
It is said to be 'adoption', but it is actually similar to 'selling'. It is not uncommon in the countryside for a family without a son to adopt a son from a collateral lineage for fear that no one will burn the pot to burn incense after death (Note).
Little Fatty listened a lot. Although his brother promised that he would not 'sell' him, he couldn't hold back his fear. He couldn't eat well and sleep well all day long, and he was losing all his baby fat.
There were a lot of people in the ward, each of them was talking to their own family members in a low voice, Lin Changqing put the fruit he bought beside him, pulled up a chair and sat beside him, and said with a smile: "Youngest, I am relieved to see that you are fine. "
Lin Jian stroked Lin Shu's hair, and said gratefully, "Third Uncle, I am really grateful to you and Lin Hai this time. If it weren't for you, I would be... hey."
"One family doesn't speak two different languages. Your main task now is to take care of your body and relax your mind. Xiaoshu, Xiaomo and sister-in-law are still pointing at you to raise them."
"Ok, I know."
Lin Changqing saw that Lin Jian looked good, and he didn't look like he was depressed. He hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "What are you going to do about Wang Yanyan's matter?"
Lin Jian's face froze, and he sighed: "She has already taken the money, and I don't know where she went, what else can I do?"
Lin Changqing said worriedly: "Before she left, she asked the villagers to borrow a lot of money, and now everyone is talking about it."
Lin Jian clenched his fists secretly: "How much did she borrow?"
"I don't know the exact amount, it's probably a few thousand."
"Third Uncle, go back and tell everyone that I will find a way to pay back the money."
"Okay," Lin Changqing shook his head and blamed himself: "Hey, what a crime, it's all my fault. If I had known she was this kind of person back then, I wouldn't have introduced her to you no matter what."
Lin Jian hurriedly said: "Uncle San, you have helped us enough, and you are not to blame for this matter."
"By the way, Wang Peng asked me to bring you a thousand dollars. He said that their family really can't afford any money. He said, he's sorry for you."
Wang Peng is the owner of the family that Lin Jian helped. Now his old house has been demolished and there are only two dilapidated rooms left. All the money for repairing the new house has been given to Lin Jian. The thousand yuan was the wages he had just received from the construction site, and the money was handed over to Lin Changqing for him to send over before it was warmed up. Because of this, his wife was divorcing him.
"It's not Wang Peng's fault, it's my carelessness. I can't take this money from Wang Peng anymore. Uncle, please help me send it back to him." After all, it's not easy for everyone. The situation of Wang Peng's family itself is No, after trying to scrape together enough money to build a new house, this kind of thing happened. Even though Lin Jian was the victim, he couldn't bear to really 'rely on' Wang Peng, what's more, Wang Peng had indeed tried his best.
Lin Changqing wondered: "You know Wang Peng's unyielding temper. I am only responsible for bringing you money. As for whether to accept it or not, you should tell him yourself." Then, he put a stack of money in the envelope It was forced into Lin Jian's hands.
Lin Jian had no choice but to accept the money first, and at Lin Changqing's request, he counted the money face to face.
Then, Lin Changqing took out another envelope and handed it to Lin Jian: "This is 3,500 yuan. It's a gift from the villagers, your colleagues, and the students. Jincheng is too far away. Everyone is not familiar with the way, so I asked me to bring you the money, and when you return to the county, everyone will come to see you."
Lin Jian held the heavy envelope, his eyes were slightly wet: "Thanks for your troubles."
In many cases, for patients, more money and less money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is whether they have the heart.
Lin Changqing said with a smile: "When one party is in trouble, all parties support it. This is what it should be."
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Mo came over with a substantial lunch. When I first saw Lin Shu and Lin Changqing, I was very surprised.
"Third Grandpa, why are you here?"
"It's okay to be idle at home, so I came to see your father. Xiaoshu misses you very much at home. He just finished the exam, so I simply brought him here."
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, after careful calculation, it is indeed the time for the elementary school holiday.
Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed, and raised his chubby face and whispered, "Brother."
Lin Mo put two oversized thermos cups beside him, picked up Lin Shu, twisted his face and said, "Are you obedient at home?" The little thing lost a lot of weight, and Lin Mo's heart flashed Distressed.
Lin Shu dodged and said, "Brother, let me go, I'm already an adult, you can't pinch my face anymore..."
How could Lin Mo spare him so easily, thinking that Lin Shu would be a head taller when he grew up, and he wanted to tease the little fat man even more in his heart.
"As long as you are an adult, you don't know who drew the map on my bed the year before last?"
"That's... That's because I drank too much water... No, you clearly promised me not to mention this matter again!" Little Pang Dun blushed with anger, and his face bulged.
Lin Mo looked innocent: "Is there?"
"have!"
"Really, I forgot, it doesn't count."
"..." Lin Shu looked at his brother with a hurt face, when did his brother become so reckless
Lin Jian watched the two brothers play without any grievances, and the heaviness in his heart was swept away, and he said with a smile: "Momo, don't worry about playing with Xiaoshu, it's getting late, you take three Grandpa and Xiaoshu go to have lunch."
Lin Mo put down Lin Shu and said, "Okay."
Lin Changqing was polite, and was finally persuaded by Lin Mo to cook for him at home.
Before leaving the hospital, Lin Mo distributed the stewed yam pork ribs soup to other people in the ward, and asked them to help take care of Lin Jian. Everyone happily agreed.
On the way back, Lin Shu whispered to Lin Mo: "Brother, I don't want to go back, I want to stay and take care of Dad, is that okay?" He was worried that Lin Mo would refuse, so he hurriedly added: "I have entrusted the chickens at home to the third grandma." I took care of it for me, and I asked Teacher Wu for leave, and when I go back, I will go to her house to get the notice and winter homework, okay?" Lin Shu imitated Lin Lin's tone of acting coquettishly, but he is a 'big boy' after all. No, I can't learn her twisted-butt-like movements, just like this, he has already 'numbed' himself to goosebumps.
Sure enough, Lin Lin was right, acting like a baby is a skill.
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Little thing, you are quite thoughtful. If you want to stay, you can stay." Lin Shu was really worried about staying at home alone. He could imagine the gossip and gossip in the village. Everyone may have no intentions, but the harm to the children is real and serious. He didn't want the chubby little guy to turn into a sullen and sensitive look in the future.
Lin Shu didn't expect Lin Mo to agree so easily, and cheered happily: "Brother, you are so kind!"
Lin Mo smiled and rubbed the top of his head.
Next to it, a bright black car sped by, and when the people in the car suddenly turned their heads, Lin Mo happened to lead Lin Shu into an alley. When the people in the car got out of the car in a hurry and rushed over, they saw only an empty alley with no one in it.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Han Xun frowned and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, I'm confused."
He couldn't even see the face of the person in his dream, so how could he easily meet him on the street? Those trance dreams are being fulfilled one by one, maybe he should wait quietly for three years like in the dream, and he will really appear in his life.
But is he really willing? What if he is snatched away by someone else? He doesn't even know where he is, he doesn't even know what he looks like, where should he find him
Maybe, he really has gone crazy.
Han Xun clenched his fists and slammed the big tree next to him. His hand was bloody and bloody instantly, but he didn't seem to know the pain. He stared into the depths of the alley without saying a word for a long time.
"Forget it, let's go..."
The wind gently blew away his slumped voice.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lin Mo stopped suddenly, Lin Shu raised his head and asked.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's okay, my eyelids twitched a lot just now." For a moment, he thought he heard Han Xun's voice.
"Then which eyelid of yours twitches? Grandma said that the left eye twitches for money and the right eye twitches for disaster."
Lin Mo was amused by his serious tone: "Both are jumping, this is a natural phenomenon. Don't be superstitious like grandma when you are young, you know?"
"oh."
Back at the residence, the old lady had already woken up. With her assistance, Lin Mo made a dish of twice-cooked pork, a dish of boiled pork slices, crystal radish, fried potato shreds, and cabbage ball soup with the ingredients at home. Lin Changqing was still the first The first time I tasted Lin Mo's craftsmanship, I couldn't help but exclaim.
After the meal, Lin Shu's stomach was full, and he felt more and more that his decision to stay was too wise.
