On the day after Lin Jiaxiu gave birth, she wrapped herself in her coat and rode a donkey borrowed by Lin Fang to ride home. The task of serving Lin Jiaxiu also fell on Wang Shumei and Lin Fang, mainly Lin Fang.
He Siwei sat on the stool and watched Lin Fang busy serving Lin Jiaxiu, attentive and considerate.
Lin Jiaxiu has been married for the third time. Being able to marry such a man makes outsiders who don't know the inside story naturally full of envy.
But in the eyes of He Siwei, who knew the inside story, it only felt dazzling.
Lin Fang was originally a worker in the Forestry Bureau. He Siwei didn't know why he came to the city. But he didn't want a formal job and went to the city to be an unemployed vagrant. This showed that he didn't do anything good in the Forestry Bureau.
Putting all this aside, it is not a good character to be with a married woman.
Lin Jiaxiu was pretty and rich, so she was indeed the favorite of a soft-fed man like Lin Fang.
He Siwei lowered the curtain and said, "Aunt Lin, there is no room for you at home. I will take Xiaofeng to live in a guest house."
Lin Jiaxiu just drank a cup of brown sugar water and tried her best to give birth to two children. All the strength in her body was taken away. She leaned on the cup and couldn't even turn over.
At this time, she was not in the mood to cause trouble, "Originally, you just came back and wanted to have a lively meal with the whole family, but I was born prematurely. Xiaofeng will trouble you to take care of me."
Lin Fang put down the teapot, took out a dollar and a pound of food stamps from his pocket, and handed them to He Feng, "Xiao Feng, take these and eat something delicious with your sister."
He Feng took the money and tickets, turned around and stuffed them into He Siwei's hand, "Sister, take it."
He Siwei smiled, raised his head and thanked Lin Fang.
Lin Fang was dark-skinned, and his teeth looked very white when he smiled. He said, "You finally came back from leave, and I didn't let you eat something hot. You have been busy all day. You and Xiaofeng go to eat something good. Have a good time." Rest, I will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow."
The elder's tone was very moderate, without any airs.
He Siwei said it was troublesome and was about to leave with He Feng. Wang Shumei said she was leaving too, turned around and told the two people in the room that she was going back to the hospital, and then left.
After leaving the house, there was the road. There were no street lights here at night. The three of them walked north along the road. He Feng was sensible and insisted on carrying the bag with He Siwei, so they each carried a bag strap.
Wang Shumei followed behind and was angry when she saw this scene, but she was not in a good mood today. She saw how powerful He Siwei was in the hospital, so she became much more honest and kept her words in her stomach.
He Feng was a child and never kept his worries in his heart. He was unhappy when he saw his younger siblings in the hospital, so he turned around and forgot about it.
Along the way, I asked He Siwei what he would eat for dinner.
He Siwei said, "I remember there is an Old Northwest Smoked Noodles restaurant in Zhengda Street Alley, let's go there to eat."
He Feng's eyes were bright, "I haven't eaten for a long time."
The originally happy little man suddenly became unhappy again and muttered, "It would be great if Dad was still here. Dad always took me to eat before."
He Siwei took the bag and carried it himself, holding He Feng with the other hand. "My sister is here, and Xiaofeng has grown up. In the future, he can eat by himself if he likes. We are already men."
He Feng nodded vigorously, "Yes, I am a man and I want to protect my sister."
He Siwei smiled.
He Feng raised his head and said, "Sister, I have not forgotten my promise to dad, I will protect my sister."
He Siwei's nose was sore and his voice was astringent, "Okay, then Xiaofeng will work hard to grow up. My sister is waiting for your protection."
Wang Shumei looked on with jealousy, and was also jealous of the relationship between the two siblings. They were both siblings, but Xiaofeng had never been so close to her. Then she thought that it was all Uncle He's fault. After Xiaofeng was born, he had been letting him and her He Siwei is close to her, but her sister is like an outsider.
Soon after arriving at the intersection, He Siwei led He Feng to a stop, turned around and asked Wang Shumei, "Do you want to come with us?"
Wang Shumei seemed to have been stepped on, "I won't go with you."
He Siwei said, "Then let's go first."
Wang Shumei thought it was puzzling. After a second look, she realized why He Siwei asked her. She had passed the staff hospital long ago and was now at the intersection of the main street.
For no reason, her face turned hot and she gritted her teeth, thinking why it was so cheap. When she saw the two of them turning east, she raised her legs to catch up, "I'll eat with you. Uncle Lin gave me the money." Yes, I didn’t say I would only let you two eat."
He Siwei ignored her, and He Feng called her a follower. The two siblings quarreled again, all the way to the noodle shop. There were two slices of beef in the ramen, which cost 12 cents a bowl, and 30 taels of food stamps. The ramen was very big. Bowl, we didn’t eat at noon, and we postponed it until this time in the evening. After the noodles were served, the three of us ate with our heads down. In the end, not even a mouthful of soup was left.
He Siwei was worried that He Feng was exhausted. After putting down the chopsticks, He Feng stroked his stomach and looked like he was still unfinished.
Wang Shumei glanced at He Siwei's surprised face and said disgustedly, "Don't worry, he can eat it. Haven't you heard of a half-grown man eating a poor man?"
He Siwei felt relieved, and the three of them walked back. On the way, Wang Shumei returned to the staff hospital, and He Siwei took He Feng to find a nearby guest house to stay.
There is also a public bathing place here. The sister and brother took a bath and returned to their room. Because He Feng was still a child, they opened a room for two people.
Lying on the bed, He Feng was very excited, "Sister, it's so nice here, don't leave."
Sure enough, he is still a child.
He Siwei said, "That's not possible. My sister has to go back to the farm. No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home."
He Feng pouted and said, "Uncle Lin doesn't like me. He always asks me to go outside to play and only come home when eating."
He Siwei was laying out sheets that she had brought back by herself. She stopped when she heard He Feng's words, "Does your mother know?"
He Feng said disappointedly, "I know."
He Siwei thought for a while, "My sister will tell your mother tomorrow that she won't do it again."
He Feng lay under the quilt and didn't speak. He Siwei thought he was unhappy, but when he looked carefully, he turned out to be asleep.
He Siwei smiled, he really needed to talk about He Feng's matter, but he also knew that the effect would not be big. It would be okay if she was here, but if she left, Lin Jiaxiu's side wouldn't be able to survive for a few days, and it would turn into another same as usual.
She couldn't take He Feng away, and there wasn't much she could do, and she was powerless.
The next day, He Siwei took He Feng to have breakfast before returning home. There were several people sitting at home, who came to give milk. Some brought twenty eggs, and some brought two kilograms of sugar. There are also those who take a piece of red cloth. These are already considered very valuable at this time.
But not many people came. After He Siwei brought He Feng back, those who came to breastfeed did not sit down for long and stood up to leave.
After a night's rest, Lin Jiaxiu looked energetic, with a smile on her face, beckoning her son to come to her, and asked He Siwei concernedly if she had a good rest last night.
Lin Fang was not here, so He Siwei did not engage in any false politeness with her and directly talked about He Feng, "Uncle Lin doesn't like Xiao Feng? He usually drives people out and can only go home when eating and sleeping. Does Aunt Lin know about this?"
