Seeing that the sincere expression on Xu Huajing's face didn't seem to be fake, Mother Lin realized that her excessive enthusiasm made the other party feel uncomfortable.
Only then did she realize that after all, Xu Huajing was from the city, and there was no shortage of food and drink at home. He was not like a villager, so just giving a little to entertain people would be enough to make them smile.
But Lin's mother had been living in the village and had only come to Beijing for more than a year. Despite this, her vision was only in the army compound, and all she interacted with were old ladies like her. There was really no relationship between her and Xu Huajing. common topic.
Fortunately, Lin Yaozong and Jinchu kept noisily adjusting the atmosphere, so it didn't seem so awkward.
Chu Nian looked up from time to time to glance at Jin Chu who was playing with Lin Yaozong, his eyes full of envy.
Why does Jinchu's sister's uncle always dote on her so much?
Her uncle is also very kind and loves her very much. He has never treated her badly in terms of food and clothing. Even when she was bullied by her teachers and classmates, her uncle would support her.
But because of her uncle's personality, he would never be so close to her.
I was a little envious at first, but not jealous.
Because she knew that sister Jinchu deserved such a good uncle.
However, there was still a faint sadness in her young heart.
Jin Chu saw Chu Nian's sadness. She adjusted her sitting position, got close to Lin Yaozong's ear, and whispered to him quietly.
"Uncle Yaozong, can I ask you a favor?"
"Okay." Lin Yaozong agreed with a smile: "Even if Jinchu wants the moon in the sky, Uncle Yaozong will find a way to get it for you!"
Jin Chu pouted: "I'm not that greedy. Uncle Yaozong, sister Chu Nian just lost her father and has been very unhappy during this period. My father is usually too busy with work and has no time and energy to comfort sister Chu Nian. .”
"Uncle Yaozong, you are an elder and a male elder. At this time, if you can show even a little kindness to sister Chunian, she will be happy."
Lin Yaozong naturally noticed Chu Nian's depressed mood.
But before he could figure out how to comfort the poor child, Jin Chu had already given him some advice.
Lin Yaozong did not agree immediately, but asked: "Then Uncle Yaozong treats sister Chu Nian well, will Jinchu be angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Jin Chu tilted his head and looked at Lin Yaozong, with a pair of big dark eyes full of confusion: "Uncle Yaozong is my uncle, Chu Nian is also my sister, my uncle is with me My sister is playing, why should I be angry?"
Lin Yaozong couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tip of Jinchu's straight nose, and said with a smile: "Our Jinchu is a generous little girl, but my uncle is too narrow-minded."
He took Jin Chu down and put him on the ground, and then said to Chu Nian: "Chu Nian, I want to take Jin Chu out to play now, do you want to come with me?"
His eyes were bright at first, but then quickly dimmed.
She shook her head gently: "I won't go. Uncle Yaozong and sister Jinchu had a good time... Yeah! Uncle Yaozong, put me down quickly!"
Before Chu Nian could finish her words of rejection, Lin Yaozong had already picked her up and put her on his shoulders.
The moment his body soared into the air, Chu Nian screamed out in fear, and soon his eyes became wet again.
When she was little, her father would put her on his shoulders like this and let her look at the scenery from above.
But since he came to Beijing, his father only cared about making money. He only thought about how to make more money every day, and the energy allocated to her and Chu Lin was pitiful.
Chu Nian also made a request to him to be carried on his shoulders again, but her father refused her on the excuse that she was already a big girl.
This long-lost and anticipated feeling made Chu Nian feel uncomfortable.
Soon, the silvery laughter of the girls could be heard in the yard.
Listening to Chu Nian's long-lost laughter, Mother Lin couldn't help but blush.
"Since Dai Wei left, Chu Nian has closed her heart to this child. Although it seems nothing on the surface, we can feel that she is always unhappy. Quanquan and I thought Many methods are useless, I never expected that Chu Nian can smile so happily now."
Xu Huajing said: "Our Yaozong has been loved by children since childhood."
Maybe it's because he hasn't grown up yet, so he can play with the children.
"This child, Chu Nian, is not very young, but she has experienced a lot of things, so that her mental age is earlier than other children of the same age. Her father's sudden death still had some impact on her, so she is so sad. . But children are easily distracted, and they will get better after a while."
"I hope so."
On the other side, Xu Wanning pushed Lin Jishang in a wheelchair and walked around the army.
Every time he went to a place, Lin Jishang would point out to Xu Wanning what the place was used to do more than 20 years ago, and would also tell some past events that he could never forget.
Xu Wanning listened with great interest and asked one or two questions from time to time, which were answered by Lin Jishang. The more they chatted, the better they understood each other.
But there happened to be someone who was not very discerning and insisted on rushing over to make her presence felt, showing that she had a much smaller brain circuit than the average person.
"Comrade Xu, this is your family, right? How can you make a wheelchair when you are so good? You don't look very young, but your legs are useless. How will you live in the future!"
Hou Chunfang stood not far away and pointed at Lin Jishang. Next to her stood a lesbian whom Xu Wanning had never seen before.
The female comrade kept tugging on Hou Chunfang's sleeves, signaling her to say less, but Hou Chunfang turned a blind eye and continued: "Comrade Xu, it stands to reason that your restaurant business is so good, you must have made a lot of money, right? Why don't you take your family to have your leg treated? Is it because you are reluctant to spend money? "
"Have you finished speaking?" Xu Wanning looked at Hou Chunfang expressionlessly: "When did we have a talkative woman in our army's family courtyard, pointing fingers at other people's affairs? Who do you think you are, and you are qualified to criticize mine? Do your family members judge you?”
Xu Wanning doesn't like to lose her temper, but that doesn't mean she has a good temper. She just doesn't bother to argue with people who have problems with their minds.
But her family is her bottom line, and she will not allow anyone to bully her family in any way.
However, Hou Chunfang stepped on her bottom line again and again, causing her to verbally attack the other party.
"You, you..." Hou Chunfang was so angry that she pointed her finger at Xu Wanning and said angrily: "How can you talk like this? What do you mean to me? Why are you so humiliating? Just because your man has only been around for more than a year. Is it time to get promoted?”
