Chapter 726 Old Shadows of the Republic of China (13) Three in One(2/2)
"I can't die!" Lin's mother closed her eyes and said, "Do you do this embarrassing thing," she told her children to know, "Why didn't you tell me to die?"
Lin Yutong didn't say anything extra, she really didn't know what to say. She got up and looked at the house. The kang was not big, and the two quilts were patched, but they looked clean and tidy. Looking at it, the old couple did not live in the same room, and this place should be the house of Lin's mother and Xingzi.
As he was looking at it, the curtain moved and Xingzi came in with a bowl, "If the medicine is ready, please ask my mother to take the medicine."
It’s okay to drink this ginseng soup. Lin Yutong gave it to the side, and then she saw that Xingzi’s hands were covered with frostbite. It was just winter, and it was obvious that this was an old injury that had been frozen in the early years.
Lin Yuhuai pointed outside and said to Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master: "Let's go out and talk."
His tone was a little dull. Even though he had guesses in his mind, it was the first time he heard about these things. He might have felt a little uncomfortable.
Going out from the east side, I saw a skinny man squatting in front of the stove. This was Lin Dehai. His head was not completely shaved. His front half of his forehead was a whip cut off the whip, but his ears were short and he was scattered and a melon-skin hat was scattered on his head. He was wearing a long gown and mandarin jacket boots, which was the same as the Qing Dynasty. However, the gowns were all silk, and the patches were cotton. The boots had already exposed their toes, and he didn't dislike the cold, so he just wore them like this. From a distance, Lin Yutong could smell the smell of smoke on his body.
She asked Lin Yuhuai in a low voice: "Is it still smoking?"
"He has been sucking me for as long as I can remember." A hint of disgust flashed in Lin Yuhuai's eyes, "The family has already told him to lose." He said, then looked at Lin Dehai, "You go into the house."
Lin Dehai looked at Lin Yutong and looked at the Fourth Master again: "My daughter brought her son-in-law to the door, so I, the father-in-law, was not allowed to say something."
The Fourth Master handed over two dollars, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Take this money with pocket money."
Lin Dehai immediately stretched out his chicken claws and grabbed them, "This son-in-law knows the power. I recognize it." He ran out in the blink of an eye.
"Dad, where are you going?" The voice of a boy outside.
"I'm not your father!" Lin Dehai was furious, "Don't worry about it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was lifted up, and a thin boy walked in. He was wearing a wide black cotton jacket, carrying a bundle of firewood, and carrying a medicine bag in his hand. When he saw Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Is it the eldest sister and brother-in-law back? I'll go and cut the meat and stew it tonight."
Very vivid.
If the adults don’t do it, what’s wrong with the child?
Lin Yutong sighed in her heart. Everything in this world may be determined by heaven. Since so many accidents can meet this family, what is it that is not destined by God? If you occupy someone's body, you will end this period of cause and effect. Thinking of this, there was a smile on your face, and it was not as awkward as you looked at just now. "It's Yang Zi? Put down your things quickly and don't run away. It's very cold outside, but it's not an outsider. You can eat whatever you want at home."
Lin Yang was stunned and responded quickly. He put down his things and added firewood under the stove.
Lin Yuhuai let out a sigh and looked at Lin Yutong: "I thought my mother shouldn't have disturbed you."
Lin Yutong laughed: "You can be met by our brother and sister in this twists and turns. Isn't this God's will?"
The Fourth Master immediately interrupted and asked Lin Yuhuai what business he is doing now.
"Those who travel around the world are similar to those who walk through the ward." Lin Yuhuai looked into the house, "But my mother is in poor health. I only walked closer. You have seen her family's appearance, and I can't go anywhere. Ahma doesn't care. My mother hasn't been very healthy these years. Yang Zi Xingzi has grown up in the past two years, but she is in trouble."
Then he may not have lived a good life over the years. He has to support his parents and sisters alone, so he doesn't have to think about how much hardship he has suffered.
The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong and suddenly whispered to Lin Yuhuai: "You go home another day, I have something to discuss with you. Let's quit for the time being. Now this is in chaos, and everyone in the family is worried when they go out."
Lin Yuhuai hesitated a little. He didn't think about taking advantage of the girl when he was looking for a girl.
Lin Yutong understood what the Fourth Master meant, "Brother, we are worried about some of these things."
Lin Yuhuai looked at Lin Yutong, and saw that she looked solemn, then nodded, "Okay! I understand. I will go there another day."
As he spoke here, no one noticed Yang Zi. When the curtain was opened, he saw him coming in from outside, carrying a bunch of bacon in his hand. He slipped out and got it.
The two of them left for a meal and went out when it was late.
After sending the person away, Lin Yuhuai returned to the house and saw Xingzi handing over the cloth bag, "Brother, look, this is the eldest sister who stayed."
Yang Zi quickly poured the cloth bag onto the kang, and saw more than a dozen pears, more than a dozen oranges rolling out, and another twenty oceans.
"This" Yang Zi looked at Lin Yuhuai, "Brother, you can't ask for this."
Lin Yuhuai looked at it and asked to hand it to Xingzi, "Please hold it away, don't ask Ama to see it. Keep it, it was given by your elder sister."
"Does my elder sister recognize us?" Xingzi rubbed the corner of her clothes, looked at Lin's mother who was sleeping peacefully on the kang, and asked in a low voice.
Lin Yuhuai's hands froze for a moment, then said, "Why don't you recognize me when I am from my mother's belly?"
But when Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master returned home, it was dark. The wind was so blew so badly. When they came to the house, they came to warm up and soaked in hot water and took a bath. Lin Yutong asked the Fourth Master: "What are you planning to ask Lin Yuhuai to do?"
"The line with Mike cannot be broken." The Fourth Master held the teacup in his hand. "The things he shipped must be found to be ours. Such things are not something that cannot be entrusted by those who are absolutely trusted."
Lin Yuhuai is trustworthy and he is also very capable. He probably has many available people under his command. Judging from his style on the train, he is a gangster and has some unclear relationships with the gang. He is relatively safe when he interacts with He Jingcheng in Shanghai.
The next day, not only Lin Yuhuai came, but also Yang Zi brought it together.
"Tell him to recognize the door and run errands back and forth in the future. Is this kid here?" Lin Yuhuai pointed at Yang Zi and said.
This boy was sweet-mouthed and never saw him when he entered the door. After calling his sister and brother-in-law, he took a broom to clean up the snow in the yard, and was not idle at all.
The Fourth Master went to the study to talk to Lin Yuhuai, and Lin Yutong served tea to the two of them and came out. Seeing Yang Zi busy in the yard, she didn't dislike the cold, and felt sour in her heart. This was a child who grew up looking at other people's eyes, and was afraid of getting bored.
Lin Yutong greeted, "Sweep it casually, and clean it up when the weather clears. It's too cold outside, come in quickly." As he said that, he brought two bowls of poached eggs with ginger, brown sugar, and poached eggs. He brought one bowl to Lin Yuhuai, leaving one bowl in in a small pot and gushes on the stove.
When he rubbed his hands in, the ginger smell became stronger. Lin Yutong came out and handed it over, "Just just drive away the cold."
Lin Yang took it with a smile, and sat on a small stool beside the stove. While eating, he grilled his shoes against the stove. Only then did Lin Yutong notice that the shoes on his feet were very big, and they should be Lin Yuhuai's. How could this not be cold?
Before Lin Yutong could speak, Lin Yang whispered: "Sister, do you say I will follow you to study medicine, is it still time now?"
This kid really has an idea.
Lin Yutong hurriedly put down the work in her hand, "It's too late! Why can't you have time? It's never too late to learn. What? Want to study medicine?"
"I just want to learn craftsmanship, and at least I can support my family." Lin Yang lowered her eyelids, "I wanted to learn Western medicine with the priest in the church, but I didn't allow me to learn from my elder sister, so I shouldn't object."
Lin's mother objected because the biological father of the two children was the doctor. She felt disgusted.
Lin Yutong thought about it and said, "Actually, it should be better to study in school. You shouldn't have studied before, right?"
Lin Yang nodded, "I learned some from my second sister and my elder brother. I can recognize a few words."
"This is not enough to learn anything without lyrics." Lin Yutong sighed, "I have to teach you from scratch."
"It takes up too much time for my elder sister." Lin Yang waved his hand quickly, "I can go to the night school. I should have told my elder brother first about this. I found a job in a shop, helped in the shop during the day, and went to the night school to study at night. My mother was in poor health before, so I didn't care. Now I saw that my mother is much better, and I got up early and drank half a bowl of porridge, so I started to think about it again."
"Where is the shop?" Lin Yutong asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"It's right in Liulichang, not far from here." Lin Yang smiled, "I'm a business dealer. There's no heavy work."
Lin Yutong waved her hand, "Don't compete, don't go to any work. When spring begins, go to school seriously. Go to night school first to make up for the cultural courses in elementary school, go to middle school in the next six months, and you will have to take the college entrance exam in the future, and it's not that you can't afford to support you."
Yang Zi's hands were frozen. How much does it cost? He was a little annoyed and shouldn't mention the word "study" about studying medicine. Thinking of this, he laughed heartlessly again, "Actually, I just said that, I'm very stupid and may not be able to learn, so I'd better forget it." An enamel factory recruits apprentices. Although it only costs two yuan a month, it's still a skill. I used to think it was not worth it, but now I think it's a solution. I'll work for two or three years before talking about it.
Lin Yutong looked at the child with a little pity. She couldn't tell a child about going to school, and she turned around and told Lin Yuhuai that it was the same. He steamed the rice in a pot, washed and cut the meat there, and planned to make braised pork. But he asked Xingzi again: "What are your second sister doing at home?"
Yang Zi put down the bowl and washed it while washing it. He couldn't stop picking up the rag and wipe it everywhere. "She stuffed match boxes at home. Sometimes Aunt Wu collected too many clothes, so she also went to help others wash clothes. My second sister is soft-hearted and timid."
Everyone around them knew that their siblings were not children of the Lin family, and they were scolded by Lin Dehai all day long. There were a few people who could look like Yang Zi, but they were not affected much, but they looked quite cheerful.
After the Fourth Master and Lin Yuhuai talked, it was almost noon. The fragrance of braised pork made the person scream in his stomach.
White rice and meat have not been eaten for several years. Yang Zi was reserved and killed three big bowls by himself. When he left, Lin Yutong put out the rice and meat and brought it with him, "You can eat it when you go back and it's hot." He gave two more pieces of cloth and more than ten kilograms of cotton. Finally, he handed over the medicine and told him how to use it. Lin Yuhuai did not refuse this time, and took it and left. What my brother-in-law had entrusted today is a big deal. Since he trusted so much, he would be guessed that this thing would be missed.
Before he arrived at the door, Lin Yutong called the two of them again as if she remembered something, ran back and took out a porcelain bottle. "I saw Xingzi's hand was frostbite last issue. This medicine is good, so I told her to apply it on time. Don't ask her to wash clothes in the future. It's a cold day. The girl's body is not getting cold at home."
True and honest, but if you don’t really care about this, how can you remember this?
Lin Yang's tears rolled in his eyes, raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, and then took it, but lowered his head and couldn't say a word. The Fourth Master slapped Yang Zi's head, "Come here to play if you have nothing to do, run errands for your elder sister."
"Hey!" Yang Zi responded neatly, but he never raised his head.
As soon as the two brothers entered the Lin family's slum, they would come up to say hello when they met. It was inevitable that some people would say a few sour words, but they were afraid of Lin Yuhuai, and they muttered in a low voice, asking if they were worthy of their face. Someone who was also a virtuous person with Lin Dehai also asked, "When will our big princess come back?"
What about the big princess? What time has it been?
After entering the door, Lin Dehai was sitting in the main hall with peanuts and old wine. When he saw the two brothers, he asked without raising his head: "Here are you back? What did my daughter bring for me?"
Yang Zi only left the medicine outside, and took the rest to the inner room in a hurry.
Lin Dehai was so angry that he complained to Lin Yuhuai: "I said, are you kids stupid? Why did you take that kid with your girl? My daughter's things are all for me, who are they?"
"Don't worry." Lin Yuhuai was impatient and poured a bowl of water and was about to drink it. Then Lin Dehai put the wine glass on the table, "Stop talking to me in a big voice. Don't look at me, I've done something big for you this time. I've found someone to do an errand for you at the police station, and you'll be a job tomorrow."
Go to the police station?
Lin Yuhuai remembered what her brother-in-law said today, and this may be an opportunity
