Lin Nianhe was not surprised at all that friends from the same compound would come to the same brigade to go to the countryside together. He even felt that only two of them were a bit too little.
This is the "circle culture" in Beijing. People in a large compound naturally work in the same unit, and send their children to school in one place. For such a big event as going to the countryside, they have to get together habitually. In the capital of later generations, many good friendships between families began when they went to the countryside - eating, living and working together. Even if there were disagreements at the time, when they returned to the city and recalled the hardships and sweet things, the conflicts turned into jokes.
Lin Nianhe hung up the phone and leaned on the table recalling the Wen sisters.
After she came here, she lived in the compound for a month before going to the countryside. She also had a basic understanding of the neighbors in the compound.
However, due to the different degrees of closeness left by the original owner, her understanding of each person is also different. For example, Xie Si, who had been fighting with the original owner since childhood, Lin Nianhe not only knew that he only ate chopped green onions but not coriander, he also knew that he liked the eldest girl from the Guan family in Baishun Hutong, and would hang out in Baishun Hutong whenever he had something to do... But Guan Guan The girl was a gentle and decent person, and she only told Xie Si, "Get out of here" seventy-two times.
The Wen sisters were relatively unfamiliar neighbors with no direct friendship. Lin Nianhe's understanding of them mainly came from Lin's mother's occasional emotions.
Mother Lin said that the two girls of the Wen family always spoke softly, smiled softly, and looked well-behaved and sensible.
Mother Lin also said, Hehe, you don’t need to learn hard. Your Aunt Wen joined the art troupe at the age of sixteen and hasn’t blushed with anyone in decades. Her family has a bit of a gentle gene.
Lin Nianhe thought, thinking, wrinkled his nose and put on a mask of pain.
Other people's children were chasing her, which made her a little sad.
The main reason is that she really doesn't know how to deal with such a weak girl. If she didn't say anything right, why would they cry so loudly?
It’s hard to do...
Lin Nianhe had a headache, and soon, the news that made her even more headache came -
"Girl Lin, come with me to the train station the day after tomorrow to pick up the new educated youth." Li Dahe returned to the brigade headquarters and saw that Lin Nianhe was still here, so he said to her, "The two new lesbians in our brigade are also from Beijing. Anyway, you have nothing serious to do wandering around all day, so come with me."
"Ah, I know," Lin Nianhe looked at him with a slightly complicated expression, "My dad just called me to tell me about this. He is my neighbor in the same compound."
Li Dahe's eyes lit up: "That's great. Your children are not pretentious."
Li Dahe still remembers that when he first picked up Lin Nianhe, although the kid looked like a waste at first glance, he never complained about the hardship of life in the countryside or made a fuss about going home.
Lin Nianhe thought for a while and reminded tactfully: "Uncle Captain, my two neighbors are very nice people, but they are soft-tempered and weak. Please be more considerate."
Lin Nianhe felt that since they were both fellow villagers, she should still take care of him as much as she could.
Not only to take care of the Wen sisters, but also to stabilize Li Dahe's mentality so as to prevent the psychological gap from getting too big and causing another disaster to his already poor family.
Li Dahe knew Lin Nianhe well. He pondered over her words and understood.
Li Dahe stroked the top of his thinning hair and looked into the distance melancholy.
I really want to lift the railroad tracks and let the train go home.
…
There are never many people at the train station in Lan County. Whenever there is a crowd, people in the county know that another educated youth has arrived.
"well……"
Li Dahe squatted beside the bullock cart, puffing on his pipe and sighing.
Ever since Lin Nianhe woke him up that day, he had been immersed in sadness. He couldn't help but sigh in his dreams in the middle of the night, and was almost kicked off the bed by Aunt Li.
Seeing him like this, Lin Nianhe had nothing to say and interrupted him: "Uncle Captain, how are the preparations for Brother Xiaoshan and Daxi's wedding?"
Lin Nianhe thought that thinking of something happy when he was in a bad mood could soothe the fragile heart of the captain, but——
"well!"
Li Dahe sighed louder.
Lin Nianhe was confused.
Even if his son gets a wife, he won't be happy for a while? Just two delicate female educated youths, shouldn't they be so lethal, right?
Of course Lin Nianhe would not know that when Li Xiaoshan and Wang Xixi's wedding was mentioned, the first thing Li Dahe thought of was his wife.
The closer the wedding was, the more irritable Aunt Li became and the more she disliked him.
In the past, Aunt Li only disliked him for not working. In recent days, she has begun to dislike his hair - "Don't mess with those two hairs of yours. If you ask me, it's better to just shave them off. It's okay." Look more energetic, and with your current virtue, those who know your son is marrying a wife, and those who don’t know think you are almost living under the same roof for four generations!"
Captain Li felt aggrieved.
He has been bald for more than ten years, and his wife is starting to dislike him now. Is it too late?
Grievances are grievances, and you don't dare to argue a word, otherwise - "Hey, it will seem like you have a long mouth, right? If you can use your nonsense to do your work, I can talk about it all day long. You? Xiaoshan! Don’t say I didn’t tell you. If you prick your hands in the future, you won’t be able to do the job, and your mother-in-law will hit you with a shovel. I have no shame in caring about you! This is why my mother left early..."
That night, Li Dahe dreamed of his long-dead mother-in-law. The old man was always strong and chased him all night long with a shovel. She chased, but Li Dahe argued, and finally convinced his mother-in-law at dawn. The old man felt very guilty and suggested that Li Dahe go hide with her...
It's hard to be a captain, but it's even harder to be a gentleman...
Li Dahe smoked his pipe, full of complaints and nowhere to vent his complaints.
He looked around and caught a glimpse of Lin Nianhe.
"Did I bring you out to play? Aren't those two your neighbors? Find someone quickly, are you waiting for me to call?"
Lin Nianhe: "...?"
She seemed to see a pot flying across the sky and hitting her head straight.
She curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not as knowledgeable as people with worrying hair."
"Hey you little brat!"
Lin Nianhe ignored Li Dahe's incompetent rage, jumped onto the bullock cart, and stood on tiptoe, looking at the dark crowd, looking for the faces of the Wen sisters in his memory.
"What the hell...what are you doing? Why are you squeezing? Do you want to act like a gangster?"
"What's going on? Are you anxious? Why are you anxious? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"
In the midst of the noise, the Beijing film, which was urgent and fast but clearly worded, instantly caught Lin Nianhe's ears.
The voice is a girl's voice, but these words...
Lin Nianhe thought, it couldn't be the Wen sisters who said this.
She remembered, clearly remembered, that the two sisters spoke softly, more like Wang Xue's Wu Nong's soft words.
Swearing? How can it be? The Wen family has a bit of a gentle gene!
She thought so, but her eyes followed the sound uncontrollably.
Two girls wearing army green clothes and trousers, with palm-sized faces, gentle eyebrows, and shiny braids... The most important thing is that they look very much like the Wen sisters in Lin Nianhe's memory!
Lin Nianhe looked at them and murmured to himself: "First of all, let's rule out the possibility that they are the Wen girls..."
"Secondly, even if their surname is Wen, they are definitely not Wen Qingqing and Wen Ruanruan."
"To sum up, my Uncle Wen may have two illegitimate daughters, and their mothers look somewhat similar to Aunt Wen."
"Oh, Uncle Wen is an old scumbag."
