fruity fragrance

Chapter 185
It was already afternoon when Xiucai and Lin Guoxiang returned home, and when they saw a few young people surrounding them, Lin Guoxiang quickly raised an index finger by his mouth, making a silent gesture.

A few small friends consciously gave way to Xiucai and let him in.Seeing the younger ones like this, Xiucai felt bitter in his mouth, and felt sore in his heart. Thinking of what his elder sister and brother-in-law had done, his nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Father (uncle), mother (aunt), welcome you both home!" Lin Fanghou divided into two groups and lined up at the gate of his house, and then said to Xiucai and Lin Guoxiang in unison.Immediately afterwards, Wang Yuanzhi winked at the younger brother standing opposite him, Wang Yuan got more understanding, and hurriedly imitated the waiters in the taverns in the town, putting the rag used to wipe the table on his shoulder, with a small face Dui laughed, and pretended to bow to the scholar: "Oh, sir, you are back, hurry up and invite me inside!"

As he said that, Wang Yuanyue deliberately turned his face to the yard and shouted: "Shopkeeper, the nobleman is back, hurry up and have a cup of tea!"

Everyone at the door was amused by his exaggerated performance, Lin Guoxiang suppressed a smile and reached out to reward him with a big chestnut: "Where are you looking, my shopkeeper is here!"

"Ouch!" Wang Yuanyue exaggeratedly yelled, and immediately said to Lin Guoxiang with a flattering face, "What mother said is true, the little one really deserves to be beaten!" Then he changed his words immediately, "Brother, mom and dad are back Hurry up and watch tea!"

But before the words finished, Lin Guoxiang spoke again: "What tea are you looking for, your mother, I've been on the road for almost a day, and I'm already hungry, hurry up and get me something to eat."

"Yes, yes, I'll get you something to eat, little one." Wang Yuanyue still nodded and bowed, his little face with baby fat was covered with flattering smiles that didn't match his age, which made people feel weird no matter how they looked at it.

This time Lin Guoxiang couldn't help but patted Wang Yuanyue's shoulder and laughed. Lin Fanghou, Lin Fangnian and Wang Yuanzhi's mouths twitched, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Turn your face to the side to be out of sight.It's just that trembling shoulders still betrayed them.

Looking at Wang Yuanyue again, he didn't care at all.Niangke said that if you have a thicker skin, you won't suffer in the future, and he is right in front of it. This is tempering your thick-skinnedness.

Wang Yuanyue, Lin Fanghou and the others played a series of tricks, even the scholar who was in an extremely bad mood couldn't help but bend his lips, he stretched out his hand to touch his son's little head, and said to Lin Fanghou and the others: "Okay, Don't play tricks, I'm fine, let's go play."

Lin Fanghou and the others looked at each other, shrugged slightly, and then went off to do their own things.They have tried their best, but father (uncle) is really in a bad mood, so it's better not to hang around in front of him, so as not to make him feel more depressed, which is not beautiful.

"I'm really tired after driving the donkey cart all day and night, so I won't eat and go to rest first." After entering the yard, Xiucai said this to Lin Guoxiang, then went to the bathroom and took a simple cold shower. Into his room to rest.

Lin Guoxiang stood in the yard and looked at the closed door, she couldn't help but sighed in her heart, she hesitated for a while and went to the pot house to make two simple bowls of plain noodles.When she walked to the scholar's room with a bowl of plain noodles, she was just about to knock on the door when she heard faint, intermittent, subdued cries from inside.Lin Guoxiang's raised hand stopped there immediately, looked down at the bowl of plain noodles in her hand, pursed her lips, and quietly brought it back to the pot house.

Forget it, that's good, at least it can vent out the depression in my heart, so that I won't get bored.

Lin Guoxiang sat at the dining table with her head propped on her hands and stared at the two steaming bowls of plain noodles in a daze. Now even she felt that she had no appetite at all.For some reason, she panicked and suddenly remembered the time when her parents divorced when she was a child. Why didn't she shed a single tear at that time?Thinking about it now, even she herself finds it unbelievable...

Lin Guoxiang sat alone at the dining table in the pot house, thinking wildly for a while, then stood up from the stool suddenly, because of inertia, the stool behind her fell to the ground with a "clang", which scared her a bit. Jumped, then stretched out his hand and yawned, dropped the noodles that were already mushy on the table, went to the bathroom, took a simple shower, and went back to bed.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Fanghou and the others appeared from the side room. Lin Fangnian poked Lin Fanghou with his elbow, and said worriedly: "Myna, do you think aunt and uncle will get sick like this?" I actually didn't even eat a bite of food, so isn't it hungry?He expressed curiosity.

Lin Fanghou couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Lin Fangnian: "You ask me, who should I ask? We, as juniors, can take care of adults' affairs?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Fangnian, Wang Yuanzhi, and Wang Yuanyue all despised him in their hearts. The three of them thought in unison: I don't know who said that they must make them happy just now, and that this is what they should do as juniors. fulfill the obligation.Don't you feel that your words and actions are inconsistent?

……

Lin Guoxiang thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but she fell asleep in a daze as soon as her head touched the pillow, even counting sheep.She slept until night and didn't wake up. She stared at the dark room in a daze. Lin Guoxiang sat up straight with a thud, it's broken, and she didn't make dinner for everyone today!

While complaining that the little ones didn't wake her up, she hurriedly put on clothes on her body, and then hurriedly walked out of the room wearing slippers. There was no movement around except for the sound of insects. In the collective dormitory where a small person lives, where is there even a little light?

I don't know what time it is, and I don't have a clock to check the time.Lin Guoxiang thought in her heart.

"Are you awake?" Xiucai's slightly drunken voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard, startling Lin Guoxiang, and she realized that Xiucai was sitting upright in the middle of the courtyard with a small stool and looking up at the sky moon and stars.Seeing that Lin Guoxiang didn't respond, Xiucai slowly turned his face to look at her again, his eyes gleamed faintly in the night.

Lin Guoxiang frowned, and was about to speak when Xiucai suddenly shook the wine jar in her hand, and the drunken voice rang out again: "Would you like to drink some, this wine tastes pretty good. "

Seeing him like this, Lin Guoxiang felt a little uncomfortable, and the words she wanted to persuade him turned into "I'll make you two appetizers for you. Drinking like this is easy to hurt your body." Get drunk easily.

"No, just drink like this to enjoy yourself." Xiucai waved to Lin Guoxiang staggeringly, and then waved to her, "Come and drink with me."

Lin Guoxiang frowned again, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll move a stool over here." After speaking, he moved a small stool into the pot house, and took out some sauced beef from the well water to put He took it out of the tray and sat down next to Xiucai.Before she could sit still, Xiucai unceremoniously put an unopened jar of wine at her feet into her arms, and the bottom of the jar was placed on the plate of sauced beef on the tray Lin Guoxiang's eyebrows twitched in anger.

This guy is drunk, I don't care about him like him, I'm not angry... yes, I'm not angry, huh—

Lin Guoxiang repeated self-consciousness and self-comfort in her heart several times, and finally suppressed the anger that came out of her heart.Seeing that Xiucai poured the wine into her mouth like water, Lin Guoxiang couldn't help but wrinkled her eyebrows again, she reached out and snatched the wine jar from Xiucai's hand, and said angrily, "Don't drink it!" !" Seeing how promising you are, do you need to abuse yourself like this?Doesn't wine cost money? It's not worth it at all for Wang Liu's family's top quality.

"Give it to me, give me the wine." When Xiucai saw that her wine jar was robbed by Lin Guoxiang, she immediately reached out to grab it. Lin Guoxiang could clearly smell the wine emanating from Xiucai's body when she got close. The strong smell of wine came out.

Lin Guoxiang frowned again, this time she didn't intend to save any face for him, she directly poked his forehead with a free hand with her index finger, and said angrily: "You will die if you don't drink, look at your Promising, why do you want to torture yourself for such a miserable family?"

"That's my elder sister, my dear elder sister..." Xiucai didn't resist when Lin Guoxiang poked her forehead, but just stretched out her hands to cover her face, "How could she treat me like this, how could she conspire with outsiders to plot Her own brother? How could she..."

While the scholar was speaking, a drop of water dripped from between his fingers, and quickly seeped into the soil under his feet.

"Why can't she?" Lin Guoxiang really couldn't see Xiucai like this, and couldn't help but sneered, "So what if you are her own brother, who stipulates that you can't steal from your own brother? Who stipulates blood relatives?" Can’t the people who love each other plot against each other? Let me tell you, Wang Hao, these days people don’t kill themselves for their own sake!”

After a pause, Lin Guoxiang continued: "You should be happy, at least now you have fully recognized their true colors. You should be more grateful to the people of the Song family, because they let you see clearly the dark and sinister side of human nature. You said that you are such an old man, and you will be thirty after the new year, why are you still so immature, you can't bear such a small blow, and you have to sit here in the middle of the night to drink away your worries?"

Lin Guoxiang reprimanded Xiucai like this, but she was also not feeling well in her heart. In fact, she wanted to say something to comfort him at first, but then she thought that the words of comfort were not painful or itchy. Probably not as effective as saying something to stimulate him.It just happened to allow him to vent out the depression in his heart, and maybe he would feel comfortable in his heart.

The scholar obviously froze when he heard Lin Guoxiang's words, and stopped talking.Lin Guoxiang waited anxiously for him to get mad, and was even ready to run away, but he just rushed over to snatch the wine jar in her hand, yelling: "Give me back the wine, give me back the wine! Give me……"

Of course, Lin Guoxiang would not be so obedient to give him the wine jar. Seeing that this guy is already drunk, what if something happens if he drinks it?
"No, stop drinking, go back to sleep!" Lin Guoxiang threw the wine jar far away, while trying to pull the scholar back by the collar of his clothes.

"How big is it, is it worth you to spoil yourself like this?"

Originally, the scholar who saw his wine jar was smashed and smashed was already a little angry, but this time when he heard Lin Guoxiang say such a thing, he immediately became angry. He pulled Lin Guoxiang away and grabbed his collar Pushing her staggeringly, pointing at her nose with shaking body, the voice trembled slightly: "What's the big deal? What's the big deal you said? Ha, yes, what's the big deal?" , isn't my business just a trivial matter?"

As he said that, Xiucai laughed softly, a little lonely and self-deprecating, and then looked at Lin Guoxiang who was frowning: "I know if you don't like me, hate me, and look down on my relatives, I know all of this, I all know……"

At the end of his speech, he turned into a murmur of laughter, and then suddenly sat down on the ground, looking up at Lin Guoxiang blankly, with tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

"Guoxiang, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..." Suddenly Xiucai hugged Lin Guoxiang's leg and said, "I am sorry for you, I am too selfish to kill you and... ...Our child..." Speaking of the child, Xiucai's voice suddenly became hoarse, "God must see that I am too selfish, so he punished me like this... I really know I was wrong, Guo Xiang, I am fine now Sad, I really miss our child, I really miss you guys...Guo Xiang, come back, I know I was wrong..."

Lin Guoxiang stood there blankly like a piece of wood at the moment, letting Xiucai hug her leg and wipe all the snot and tears on her clothes.Xiucai's words just now sounded like a thunderbolt in her mind, shaking her heart.

The so-called telling the truth after drinking, Xiucai finally expressed his truest thoughts.He brought up his original body and the child who unfortunately died before he was born.The two of them have been trying not to think of the past, and forced themselves to forget, but if they don't mention it, will they really forget or will it really pass?
In fact... that invisible gap has always been in the hearts of the two of them. The reason why Lin Guoxiang agreed to live with the scholar was because she didn't want to see Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue being ridiculed by others. and contempt.It was because her parents divorced very early that she had so many unbearable memories of being ridiculed or bullied by children in the same village in her childhood.It is also because of this reason that she now has a good-tempered personality that only talks with her fists...

Lin Guoxiang knows better than anyone how sad it is for a child to have a healthy family without a father or a mother, so she has to work hard to let herself accept a scholar, even if his family members have No matter how difficult it was, she still endured it.

But now Xiucai completely exposed the hidden gap between the two of them after being drunk, Lin Guoxiang was caught off guard and didn't know what to do for a while.

"But I was really happy when I knew you didn't leave me." Xiucai hugged Lin Guoxiang's leg and continued to say with snot and tears, "Guoxiang, the other day you told me that you came from a later life." Yes, I'm happy from the bottom of my heart, because you didn't leave me... I don't want you to leave, I want our family to be happy together. "

"I know I'm selfish, but I really don't want you to leave me. Since I was a child, you are the third person who has treated me well besides my father and my little sister. I don't want to be separated from you..." Xiucai murmured softly , "Guo Xiang, don't ignore me, okay, as long as you don't leave me, I will listen to you from now on..." As she said that, Xiucai buried her face in Lin Guoxiang's lap and started crying like a child .

"I am so good to my mother and elder sister, but why did they treat me like this? What did I do wrong? I used to think that as long as I was good to them, they would be good to me one day, but Unexpectedly, I killed my wife and children because of my selfishness... I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

Apparently the drunkenness was on the rise at this moment, Xiucai obviously started talking nonsense, and his behavior became more and more childish, no matter how you looked at it, he looked like a big kid.

Lin Guoxiang had a bit of a headache at the moment, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes to the sky, gritted her teeth, and chopped the drunken scholar unconscious with a hand knife, then dragged him into the room with great effort, He took out a thick winter quilt from the closet and spread it on the floor, pushed Xiucai onto the thick quilt like a winter melon, and then took a thin quilt from his bed to help him cover it, and finally straightened up. straight waist.

This thing is really heavy!This is Lin Guoxiang's truest thought at the moment.I really didn't realize before that such a slender scholar can be so heavy, and it feels heavy when dragging him.Fortunately, she didn't stop exercising this year, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to drag Xiucai, let alone drag him back into the house.

Wiping the sweat off her face with the back of her hand, Lin Guoxiang squatted down and looked at the scholar for a while, and finally let out a self-deprecating "heh", and sighed in her heart, feeling a little depressed.

No matter what, we still have to live in the future, not to mention that after getting along day and night this year, it is definitely impossible for her to say that she has no feelings for Xiucai, and it is impossible to just leave like a year ago, even if she can She didn't care about leaving Xiucai behind, but she couldn't bear to part with those two children.Moreover, there are loving parents and brothers here. To be honest, she is really reluctant to leave.

She is like this, she may not force anything when she can’t have it, but once she has it, she will try her best to hold on to that thing firmly, hold it tightly in her palm and never let it go, Especially the affection she desires the most in her heart.

But recalling what Xiucai said just now, and grandpa, she became confused again, she didn't know what to do in the future.
