The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 183 Wintersweet Blossom

Throughout the morning class, Lin Mi and He Shi'an were distracted to varying degrees.

Shi'an thought about her father not coming home all night, and thought about taking a leave of absence to go home at noon.

Lin Mi planned to use the lunch time to go to the post office to send a letter to his father.

The two of them sat on pins and needles to finish class for half a day, and ran to the school gate with their schoolbags.

The guard brought lunch to Shi'an as usual, but she rushed into the car without even looking at it.

"I want to go home! Drive!"

As soon as Lin Mi heard "home", her heart was moved: why not go home for dinner, and then let Li Yan send her to drop the letter on the way back to school.

But now she has no one to pick her up, so she has to look around on the side of the road, trying to hail a rickshaw or a horse-drawn carriage.

With a sound of "Ding Dong", Gu Qilan and his car stopped in front of her.

"I've been watching you absent-mindedly from the window, are you going home now?"

"Ah."

She was embarrassed to say any more, and her face turned red again.

He drove her all the way, giving her a sense of peace of mind.

Shi'an turned her head from the back seat of the car and looked at the two of them, feeling helpless and helpless, and wanted to cry.

Gu Qilan sent Lin Mi to the door of his house, but didn't go back right away.

He rode away first, and returned from the same road after she entered the door, observing the situation on the road directly opposite the door.

Li Yan was washing the car downstairs, and was surprised to see Lin Mi come in suddenly.

"Miss, don't you have full-time classes today? Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry, I have to go to school after eating. Remember to see me off."

She found it amusing to see him washing the car with a rag and water.

"Yo, you're so free today, have you given it a bath?"

"Oh," he paused, "I have good news for you. The Major General will be back tomorrow. I want to wash the car and pick him up."

"Great, I miss Dad so much!"

Lin Mi was so happy that he jumped up on the spot, clapping his hands and cheering.

She saw that the wintersweet in the garden was blooming very well, so she picked a branch and went upstairs happily.

"Mom, I'm back for dinner! Dad is coming back tomorrow!"

Silence answered her.

There is no one in the living room, only the sun shining from the balcony.

"Miss, my wife went out last night and hasn't come home yet."

A servant came to take her schoolbag, and another servant brought a plate of cake and milk.

"Miss, let's make do with it. We only have dim sum at home now. My wife is not here, so we don't know what to buy."

Lin Mi was hungry, and he was not picky, so he ate the cake after washing his hands.

After taking a sip, the stuffing in my throat was uncomfortable, and I quickly drank half a glass of milk.

The joy just now was gradually replaced by the worry in my heart.

Mother was never a sleepover, much less absent at lunchtime.

She lowered her head and quietly wiped her tears, and suddenly she smelled a clear fragrance at the tip of her nose.

Wintersweet blossoms.

Their flowers are small, light yellow, like little stars, dotted on the branches.

Against the white snow, the flowers are more energetic.

What a strong flower this is. All the other flowers have fallen for a long time, but they stand proudly, ushering in the first snow.

Lin Mi decided to wait for his mother, so he didn't have to attend the afternoon class.

No matter how big things are, I am not afraid, after all, my father is going home.

After washing the car, Li Yan was leaning against the wall to rest his breath when he saw Mrs. Lin appearing at the door.

He stared at her blankly, as if he didn't recognize her.

Her hairstyle was in perfect order, and her cheongsam and coat were also neat.

The makeup on her face has not changed.

"You're back! Miss hasn't eaten yet."

In fact, he has a lot to say in his heart, but he can't say it now.

"Let's go out to eat at noon. There's no need to buy food after ordering this."

Mrs. Lin's high-heeled shoes sounded farther and farther away.

Li Yan always felt that she was deliberately hiding something: she was pretending to be calm.

Lin Mi was very excited when he saw his mother.

If it weren't for the cake cream all over her hands, she would run up to her and hug her.

"Mom, come, have a cake, you are back!"

Mrs. Lin looked at the plate in front of her daughter, and an inexplicable fire came.

"Lin Mi, how can you eat better than pigs? What will you do when you get fat?"

"I only ate four."

"One and a half yuan at most. It's all right, I don't want you to eat lunch. Only porridge and fruit are allowed at night."

While admonishing her daughter, Mrs. Lin went into the bedroom alone and closed the door with a bang.

With her back against the door, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released.

She took a handkerchief and bit it to keep herself from crying, and the tears kept falling on the floor.

Last night was the most difficult night she had ever encountered in her life.

For Mr. Lin who is thousands of miles away, it is even more unforgettable.

Ten days ago, he was placed under house arrest.

Mr. Lin has always insisted on his innocence, no matter what kind of interrogation he encountered.

In fact, he did not participate in the mutiny from the beginning to the end, so he did not flee, but waited for the results of the investigation by his superiors.

However, there are always some former enemies who want to make trouble.

They knew that there was no direct evidence to prove that Major General Lin was guilty, but the two generals who led the quarrel were from his hometown, repeatedly retracted their confessions in prison, and finally insisted that he was also an accomplice.

Mrs. Lin was born in a scholarly family, and she is very noble in her bones.

Last night, she received a call from a stranger. She knew that her heart was sinister, but she had to go to the appointment.

If she doesn't show up, her husband's official career will be over, and his life will be in danger.

The daughter is young, the nephew is young, they cannot fall prey to power games.

He Shi'an's father was also called away by a phone call.

Before leaving home, he took a long look in the mirror, trying to make himself look better.

Originally, he could stay out of the matter, but someone reported at the last moment. Among the arrested generals were his former subordinates and his old classmates.

These reasons were enough to get him involved in the mutiny, and all kinds of extraneous and groundless rhetoric made him feel that jumping into the Yellow River would not clear him up.

He knelt in fear and listened to the final result of the matter, sweating layer after layer...

When Shi'an came home, she saw her father drinking soup in the dining room, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

"An'an, Dad has been demoted to lieutenant general. The family will not be as good as it is now."

As Mr. He said, he looked at his daughter guiltily, "Your dowry will be discounted."

She turned her head around and asked, "What about Major General Lin?"

Unexpectedly, my father replied with some confusion: "It's strange. He was clearly suspected, but he was not downgraded. The result of the investigation was acquitted. He was not held accountable. The level remained the same. I also thought about it, could it be him? Brother spent a lot of money to settle the matter, or..."

Shi'an didn't make a sound after listening.Sit down silently to pick up vegetables and eat.

Although his father has been demoted now, he is still Major General Lin's superior.

But the Lin family must have a backer, so that they can keep the situation that is about to collapse at the critical moment.

Gu Qilan stood by the side of the road for a long time, but did not see Lin Mi come out.

Perhaps it was God's will, he happened to see the scene of Mrs. Lin coming home.

She came in a car, the door opened, but she was the only one who got out, and there were people in the car, but the windows were tightly covered.

Like Lin Mi, he didn't think about the complicated things, thinking that Mrs. Lin was just going out to meet friends.

When the iron gate opened again, Lin Mi and his mother got out in the car, seeming to be arguing about something.

As their car went away, he also smelled a scent of wintersweet: Lin Mi put the flowers he picked on the car, leaving behind a lingering fragrance.
