Chapter Four Work

Lin Yue couldn't see her mother being bullied, so she answered the conversation and looked at Lin Zhiyu, her eyes full of concern and a bit of intimacy: "Zhiyu, how are you doing?"

Lin Zhiyu's tense jaw relaxed a little, nodded and replied: "I heard you got married, congratulations."

Lin Yue raised her thin white fingers to tuck her curly hair, and said with a shy smile: "We didn't hold a banquet, so we didn't notify you."

"Yeah!" Lin Zhiyu was noncommittal and said nothing and stopped talking.

If Lin Zhiyu still has some affection for the Lin family, it is probably Lin Yue.

Lin Zhiyu's mother died when he was four years old. Three months later, Lin Qiang remarried to Chen Ju, who had a five-year-old daughter. At first, Chen Ju was kind to Lin Zhiyu, but after giving birth to Lin Zhijun a few months later, all her thoughts were focused on her youngest son. Even Lin Yue was thrown aside.

The two children were similar in age. They went to and from school together, and were scolded together. They went through those difficult years together. Later they went to the countryside separately, and they both still exchanged letters.

Until Chen Ju retired early and asked Lin Yue to return to the city to take over her job. From then on, the two of them had no contact!

However, Lin Yue accompanied Lin Zhiyu during his most painful childhood and adolescence, and such feelings are not easy to fade away.

Yang Liu coughed twice, decisively attracted Lin Zhiyu's attention, and frowned: "Is it a little cold due to the wind? Wait, I'll get you some clothes."

After saying that, he got up and went back to the house to get some clothes and put them on Yangliu.

Yang Liu smiled, but met Lin Yue's unfriendly eyes. It seemed that Lin Yue hadn't learned the essence of her mother yet!

At this time, Yang's father and Yang's mother also came back. Yang's father had served as a soldier and went to the battlefield. He was injured before being discharged and returned home, so he had a domineering air about him and a loud voice.

He smiled heartily while washing the mud from his feet.

"I heard that my in-laws are here. I thought Yang Liu was just kidding me, but I didn't expect it to be true. You guys are rare guests."

This is not a rare visitor, the child is over one year old and this is his first visit.

Father Yang said to his wife behind him: "There is nothing to eat at home, so go kill the black hen that lays eggs and serve it to the in-laws."

Yang's mother always obeyed Yang's father's advice, so she turned around and went to the backyard.

Yang Liu wanted to persuade him, but then he thought, these people wouldn't stay for dinner. Killing the chicken would be a celebration of his rebirth and Zhiyu would have to work!

Father Yang sat down calmly, took out his homemade cigarette and handed one to Lin Qiang. Lin Qiang waved his hand to refuse. Father Yang didn't say much, struck a match, lit the cigarette and took a puff.

The atmosphere was no longer so tense, and Chen Ju finally got down to business.

"It's like this. My in-laws are the county's fourth primary school teacher. Although he is only a temporary worker, we still want to ask Zhiyu first. If Zhiyu doesn't go, we will let Zhijun try."

Father Yang was stunned and said hurriedly: "Go, why don't you go? It would be great to be a teacher, both leisurely and respected!"

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Zhiyu. He was very satisfied with this son-in-law. He was the only learned person in the family.

Seeing Chen Ju's aggrieved face, Yang Liu almost suffered internal injuries. You have thousands of twists and turns, but dad can only hit straight shots!

Yang Liu smiled and said: "Who recommended the job?"

"Well, Teacher Fang Xiang." Chen Ju didn't want to say it, but she couldn't hide this.

"It turns out to be Teacher Fang. He is a distant relative of my grandmother's family and takes good care of me." Lin Zhiyu explained to Yang Liu and his son, obviously very happy that the teacher could still remember him!

Chen Ju forced a smile and said, "It's just a temporary job. It may not last long. Besides, Zhiyu, are you willing to separate from Yang Liu? This child is still young. It's not good to be separated from his father."

Father Yang waved boldly again: "These are nothing. The child has been following his grandmother. When the time comes, Yang Liu will follow him to the county town to take care of Lin Zhiyu."
