Transport life

This Spring Festival, Lin Yi is very busy.

The day before New Year's Eve, she arrived at Lingling Village, Yan Lingling's hometown, and was surrounded by a group of people standing at the entrance of the village. They all thought that Lin Yi was the girlfriend of a young man in the village, and their curious eyes stuck to her.When she said that she went to Yan Lingling's house, these gazes turned into inquiries.

Yan Lingling didn't go home this year. The old man of the Yan family had little time to play and sat in the yard for a long time. I heard that Yan Lingling was very busy with work this year, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't go home for the New Year.

Lin Yi caught his probing gaze, and distributed the candy and melon seeds he was carrying to the people in the village.

When she came out of the house with Grandpa Yan, she already had the identity of Grandpa Yan's adopted granddaughter. Grandpa Yan said that she was the granddaughter of the adopted brother whom he recognized during the two years he ran with the geological exploration team when he was young. got engaged.I didn't expect to meet Yan Lingling in Zicheng, and come to accompany me to celebrate the New Year this year.

This reason blocked the villagers from exploring, and also found a reason for Lin Yi to appear in the village twice.

No one in the village knew about Yan Lingling.People in the small village can't understand that much, and things like being in a detention center will still become a talking point for others.Yan Lingling will go home in the future, and the villagers will look at her strangely when they find out.

Lin Yi met Grandpa Yan and told him the news that Lingling would come out after the Spring Festival. The old man's mood improved and he was so excited that he walked around the yard a few times.Lin Yi took out the cash prepared in advance from the box and asked Grandpa Yan to take her to repay the debt that should be paid this year.

The old man was a little shocked. Lin Yi knew everything. There was something different in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yi, but he didn't say anything.When it was getting dark, he took Lin Yi to go door to door to pay off part of the debt just like he took Yan Lingling in previous years.The people who went to repay the debt expressed their concern about Yan Lingling not going home for the New Year this year. They bluntly said that it is good that the old man of the Yan family traveled to many places when he was young. In addition to his beautiful granddaughter, he can also have a adopted granddaughter.

Until Yan Lingling was about to come out, Grandpa Yan felt much better. He responded to the villagers' words with a smile and praised Lin Yi many times.

On the way home, Lin Yi took the initiative to support Grandpa Yan. The old man sighed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. It's her blessing that my family Lingling can meet you."

Lin Yi was frightened by this sentence, his body froze slightly. In the past, Grandpa Yan also said that Lingling had a friend like Lin Yi, but today's sentence did not mention the word "friend", which was very similar to what he said to his grandson-in-law.Lin Yi lay on Yan Lingling's bed, turned over several times, and slept until New Year's Eve with his head full of wild thoughts.

When she was at home, the Chinese New Year had nothing to do with Lin Yi, she was only responsible for being a puppet on the scene, and other New Year's goods, food, and hospitality had nothing to do with her.She dissociates from her family and plays the role of the eldest daughter of the Lin family.But it's different in Yan Lingling's house. Lin Yi knows that Yan Lingling will do a lot of things every year during the Chinese New Year, and she is the head of the family.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Yi followed Grandpa Yan to worship the ancestors, and when he came back, he prepared things for the village, as well as the reunion dinner at noon and the New Year's Eve dinner at night.Grandpa Yan wanted to prepare these things by herself, but was persuaded by Lin Yi. She moved a high bench and placed it by the kitchen door for Grandpa to sit down, while she was busy in the kitchen.

Living alone all year round, Lin Yi knows the kitchen well.Seeing her skillful appearance, Grandpa Yan was sitting by the door, squinting his eyes and smiling, complimenting Lin Yi one after another, which made Lin Yi feel embarrassed, Lin Yi started to make fun of her, and the laughter of the old and the young lingered in Yan's house.

A villager looked in from outside the courtyard and said that he thought Yan Lingling had returned when he heard the laughter.Grandpa Yan waved his hand: "Although my family Lingling didn't come back, Yiyi came back." The old man pronounced it in dialect, and pronounced Yi as one, which sounded nice.

Grandma also liked to call herself that.Lin Yi blinked to hide the moisture in her eyes, just as Grandpa Yan told her that she had to go to the temple to offer incense in the morning on the first day of the new year, she quickly nodded in response, asked the origin of the custom of offering incense, and covered up her emotions.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Yi personally experienced the noisy village customs of Ling Village.Last year, she only listened to Yan Lingling talking on the phone, and she didn't feel deeply. When she saw the children carrying the lanterns and holding the bamboo dragons running into the room to look for red envelopes, her whole body was filled with joy.

Lingling, who grew up under the water of such an interesting custom, is so happy.

Feeling the New Year's customs in Ling Village, Lin Yi stayed until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the day before the end of the Spring Festival holiday, she bid farewell to Grandpa Yan and returned to Zicheng.

Compared with usual times, Zicheng is much more empty, and there are not many pedestrians on the connecting road.On the eight-lane road, there was an endless stream of vehicles, most of which were people returning to work from other places.

Lin Yi went home to tidy up the room, went to the yard of Mi Cheng's moving company after going to bed.There were very few people in the yard. When Lin Yi appeared, someone greeted her: "Ah, happy new year, are you back so early?"

Lin Yi replied: "Happy New Year. You guys came back early too. Let me take a look at Yan Lingling's room."

The man nodded: "I didn't go back this year. Is Lingzi still locked up?"

Hearing the word closed, Lin Yi felt uncomfortable. She didn't show it, and said with a smile: "I'll be right back. I'll help her clean up, and I'll stay when I come back."

The man praised Lin Yi a few more words, praising her for being such a kind person and being so kind to her friends.

Lin Yi went upstairs while being polite.

The popularity of the unoccupied house is very low. Even though Lin Yi came to clean it years ago, after more than ten days, the house feels like a layer of dust has fallen on it.

Lin Yi took out a towel and wiped the tables next to each other, changed the quilt cover, and finished cleaning the room.Then she went out with her mobile phone and keys, and came back when it was getting dark, carrying a bag of daily necessities and holding two bouquets of flowers in her arms. She replaced all the daily necessities in Yan Lingling's room, and found two bottles to put flowers in , The room instantly had vivid colors.

After packing everything, she closed the doors and windows and left.

The next day, Lin Yi officially went to work. One of the three newcomers hired last year, Lin Yi talked to two relatives and customers during the Chinese New Year. Lin Yi helped her make an insurance policy plan, and shared with her what different customers do. The idea of ​​the plan, the little newcomer is very grateful to her, and wants to invite her to a meal in about three days.

Three days later it will be Saturday, and Yan Lingling will come out of the detention center that day.

The hospitality was hard to come by, Lin Yi agreed to have dinner together that day, the little newcomer was very happy, and bounced back to his desk.

On Saturday morning, Lin Yi woke up naturally.It was still daylight outside.She stood up, washed and changed clothes in one go.Before going out, she brought a long down jacket. The down jacket was brand new. Years ago, when she was preparing clothes for the New Year for Grandpa Yan, she bought this red down jacket. The bright red clothes gave off a sense of vigor.

She took public transportation to the detention center in the western suburbs of Zicheng.There are low-rise buildings near the detention center. There are few pedestrians on a Saturday morning in winter, and there is a sense of depression.

The gate of the detention center was tall and cold. Standing opposite the gate, Lin Yi felt oppressed even across the road.

The mobile phone showed that it was only 10:[-], and after she stood there for [-] minutes, a van with the words Mi Cheng's moving company on it stopped in front of her, the window was lowered, and Ran Ming poked his head out: "It's so early? "

Lin Yi smiled: "You are not too late."

Ran Ming drove the car forward for about 50 meters, stopped near the wall, jumped out of the car and walked to Lin Yi's side.He was holding a thermos cup in his hand, his eyes stayed on the down jacket Lin Yi was holding for two seconds, and asked her, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Lin B nodded: "What about you?"

Ran Ming: "I didn't eat it, I will take Lingzi to eat later."

The two thought that Yan Lingling would come out around 09:30, but they didn't expect that the gate of the detention center didn't open until eleven o'clock.None of them left to find a place to sit for a while during this time.Lin Yi's feet ached from standing, Ran Ming was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, and his hand holding the thermos was exhausted.

There are more pedestrians on the road.A few hundred meters next to the detention center, there is a furniture city newly built last year. Many people come to the furniture city to buy furniture on Saturdays.Yan Lingling's small figure came out from the open door, Lin Yi took two steps forward, and was grabbed by Ran Ming, a small truck with several pieces of furniture quickly passed in front of Lin Yi As the car passed by, the dust brought up by the tires hit Lin Yi all over.

As the pickup truck passed by, Lin Yi and Ran Ming watched the person who sent Yan Lingling out say something to her, and then Yan Lingling walked across a road about four meters wide and came in front of them.Her complexion is not good, her lips are a bit dry, her face is thinner, and her chin is sharper. She is suffering at first glance.Fortunately, there was still brilliance in her eyes, she slightly bent the corners of her mouth towards Lin Yi and Ran Ming, Lin Yi stepped forward and hugged her, tears slid down her cheeks.

Within five seconds of this hug, Yan Lingling moved slightly and said softly, "I'm a little dirty." His voice was hoarse.

Lin Yi felt as if someone had grabbed his heart.She took a step back, put the down jacket she was carrying on Yan Lingling's body, raised her hand to wipe her face, and said in a raised voice, "Let's go, let's go home!"

Ran Ming hurriedly continued: "Yes, go home! Wait, drink this first." He picked up the thermos, opened the lid, and handed it to Yan Lingling, "Sister Mi brought this in Guanyinquan, her hometown. Spring water, it is said that drinking it can cure diseases. For this cup of spring water, Sister Mi stayed by the spring for most of the night, and scooped up this cup of water at the first crow of the rooster."

After hearing what Ran Ming said, Yan Lingling took the thermos cup and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.I don't know if it's the temperature of the spring water itself or because it has been stored in a thermos for a day. The water is slightly hot and sweet in the mouth. It slides down her throat and dilutes the depression in her heart.

"Go, go home!" Seeing that Yan Lingling had finished drinking the water, Ran Ming raised his hand and walked to the van first.

The down jacket draped over Yan Lingling's clothes slid down, and Lin Yi quickly raised his hand to help her hold it down.The two people's eyes met, Lin Yi simply put his hand on Yan Lingling's shoulder, and brought her to him.The height difference between the two was half a head close to each other.

A middle-aged man came from a distance on a motorcycle. On the dusty motorcycle, a song was played loudly: ... fold a thousand paper cranes, and tie a red ribbon. May the kind people have good luck every day. Come……

The author has something to say: The song on the motorcycle: "Good Luck"
