Sorry, I'm updating now because of something, haha.

Lin Guoxiang opened her eyes, and what she saw was a small cluster of dancing flames emitting a faint yellow halo. She squinted her eyes and thought for a long time before finally realizing that what was burning was an oil lamp that had long since disappeared from their countryside.It smelled like a tung oil lamp.

Squinting her eyes and looking at the tung oil lamp, Lin Guoxiang suddenly felt very nostalgic.She suddenly remembered the first night when her parents sent her to her grandpa's house in the countryside after their divorce. At that time, grandpa also lit a tung oil lamp and spread clean sheets that smelled of sunshine on the small bed. look.At that time, she was so confused and at a loss, but grandpa said to her very kindly and gently: "Granddaughter, follow grandpa from now on, grandpa loves you."

Lin Guoxiang couldn't remember what she thought when she heard her grandfather's words, but she remembered very clearly that she stared blankly at her grandfather with wide open eyes for half a minute.

"Grandpa..." Thinking of grandpa, Lin Guoxiang's tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, and her nose became more sore when she thought of all the grievances she suffered during the day.

"Are you awake?" The curtain hanging in the room was suddenly lifted gently, and Xiucai walked in with a bowl of steaming food. He put the bowl in his hand on the wooden cabinet next to the bed, and turned to see Lin The tears in the corners of Guoxiang's eyes froze for a moment, and then asked with concern, "What's the matter, is there something uncomfortable?"

"...No." After Lin Guoxiang finished speaking, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned her face to the bed, thinking about how to make peace with Xiucai.Although divorce is not a rare event in modern times, it would be a shocking event in this kind of closed ancient times where men and women were distinguished by their superiority and inferiority. It may be taken as a deviant or disobeying women's morals and pulled out and burned.So this matter must be cautious.

Lin Guoxiang was racking her brains to think about how to tell the story of Heli, when she felt her side suddenly sank, and her little hand was also held in the palm of a warm big hand. The voice penetrated into her ears: "Guo Xiang, I know that you have been wronged all these years, but she is the mother who gave birth to me and raised me." After a pause, Xiucai's voice slowed down, and she said earnestly, "I know what she did is a bit too much, but after all, she is an elder, some things we as children let her go, what do you think?"

The scholar's words made Lin Guoxiang furious. She suddenly withdrew her hand and turned her face to glaring at the scholar sitting next to her who was about to brainwash her with gentle aggressiveness. Is it a little too much?" Lin Guoxiang bit the word "some" hard on purpose, "Let her get over it? You said it lightly, it's not you who have been abused over the years! If it were you and me today, don’t make my mother-in-law like this, try it? See if you can still say these nice filial words. If you can say these words again, then I will really admire you!"

"I know you are wronged and angry, and I am also angry and feel sorry for you, but what can I do if I can't bear it anymore? You can't let me beat her to vent your anger, can you?" Xiucai thought I have a little headache, and feel that Lin Guoxiang is very strong today.In the past, he was always curious about what Lin Guoxiang looked like after being angry, so he always hoped that his daughter-in-law would show him one day when she was angry, but this time he was really angry and he had a headache again.He now knows that he must not offend people with a good temper, otherwise it will kill people, just like today.

Thinking of Lin Guoxiang jumping into the well during the day, Xiucai felt terrified for a while. He almost lost his wife, and the two children would lose their mothers.He felt that it was necessary to educate Lin Guoxiang, telling her that this kind of death-seeking thing should not be done, it was a fatal thing, and a big accident would happen if she was not careful.You can't learn from the old lady, it's wrong.However, seeing how agitated Lin Guoxiang is now, it is estimated that if he really told her that, she would have to blow her hair up again, so he should wait for her anger to subside before smoothing her hair slowly.

Thinking of this, Xiucai couldn't help sighing.

"Guo Xiang, don't be angry. The old lady is ignorant, and we don't have the same knowledge as her. Come, drink the porridge while it's hot, and then sleep well. You'll feel better tomorrow." Xiucai turned sideways as she spoke. He picked up the bowl of hot batter on the wooden cabinet next to him and was about to feed Lin Guoxiang.

Lin Guoxiang ungratefully reached out and knocked away the hand that Xiucai extended towards her, and said impatiently: "Take it away!" She is not in the mood to eat now, and it is the same bowl that old people in the village used to paste the soles of shoes Something that looks like a paste, it's no wonder it doesn't turn off your appetite!
The scholar was not angry, but persuaded Lin Guoxiang in a gentle voice: "Guoxiang, you should be angry if you are angry, but you have to eat. Doctor Li, you have to take good care of it during this time, otherwise you will be miserable in the future." There will be big problems. If you get angry, you won’t be the one who suffers in the end, others will definitely not be able to help you, even if you want to suffer for you, right?"

It was true that she was the one to suffer for ruining her body, but when Lin Guoxiang caught sight of the bowl of paste, she couldn't help but feel nauseated, and even more angry.She is a sick person now, it’s fine if you don’t get some delicious food, at least you can make some decent rice porridge or something, even if it’s served with pickles, she can swallow it, but now I only got her a bowl Pasty, this is too bullying!Just with this attitude, she wants to reconcile!

But this time, it was Lin Guoxiang who misunderstood Xiucai. The little flour left at home was used to make batter for her. It smells like forest fruit.

When Xiucai used flour to make batter for Lin Guoxiang, Cui Shi was unusually quiet this time, apparently frightened by Lin Guoxiang's jumping into the well during the day, otherwise she would have made a fuss with her previous temperament. It's upside down.

"I don't want to eat, you should take this thing away!" Lin Guoxiang impatiently waved her hand to ask Xiucai to take the bowl of batter, which is unappetizing at first sight, away.

"Then... okay, eat later if you're hungry." Xiucai thought for a while, and brought the bowl of batter to a low cabinet in a corner of the room, but he didn't dare to take it outside. On the table, the old lady's temper might be eaten up without anyone noticing.

"You sit there, I have something to tell you." Lin Guoxiang pointed to a low stool beside the bed, and said to the scholar.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xiucai sat down on the low stool and asked Lin Guoxiang.

Lin Guoxiang took a deep breath, and said, "Let's make up." After speaking, she simply turned her face to the side, not to look at the scholar's warm and jade-like face, let alone his stunned expression.It's not that he is reluctant, but that he is afraid that the scholar will see that there is no nostalgia in his eyes and he is not suspicious of him.

When Xiucai heard Lin Guoxiang's reconciliation, his face was obviously taken aback, and then he said with a straight face: "What are you talking about, I don't think I heard this, in the future, such angry words will be terrible. Don't say any more." Xiucai directly took Lin Guoxiang's words as angry words.

"I'm serious." Lin Guoxiang turned around and looked at the scholar seriously.

Seeing the earnestness and firmness in Lin Guoxiang's eyes, Xiucai was taken aback for a while, before asking her tentatively, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Lin Guoxiang nodded, and said in her heart: Who would make such a joke with you when he is full and full, and he is not nervous.

Seeing Lin Guoxiang nodding, Xiucai sat there dumb for a long time before finally finding his own voice, he said angrily at Lin Guoxiang in a hoarse voice: "Lin Guoxiang, let me tell you, I don't agree!" He was panting heavily on his own, and his chest heaved even more violently.His voice was completely gone from its usual gentleness and peace. His hoarse voice was accompanied by wheezing, and it sounded more like the sound from the bellows next to the stove of the blacksmith in the village.

"I don't think I've heard such a thing, and you don't want to say it again!" Xiucai's chest rose and fell, and it took him a long time to squeeze out the words, "It's late, you have a good rest, I'm going to see the child We." After speaking, without giving Lin Guoxiang a chance to speak, he opened the curtain and strode out without looking back.

Lin Guoxiang knew that this matter would definitely not be resolved in a day or two, so she was not in a hurry. She tugged on the iron-like quilt on her body, adjusted her sleeping position, closed her eyes and thought about her thoughts Slowly fall asleep.
