Quick travel to save a miserable life

Lin Hui was a little surprised that the dagger was returned so quickly. She thought she would have to wait at least for a while until the case was completely closed, but it would be better to close it earlier so that she could get out of it sooner.

The pinch marks on Lin Hui's neck did not completely fade until the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month when the winter vacation officially began.

One of the great things about being a teacher is that you can spend winter and summer vacations with your students.

Although she was on winter vacation, Lin Hui did not plan to return to Rehe immediately. She would definitely go back during the New Year. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for an unmarried girl to stay away from home during the New Year.

Lin Hui planned to visit a few more cities on her way back to Rehe to process some of the rice, noodles, fruits, and cotton accumulated in the space, but before that, she sent two letters to the Hanwa Brigade.

One letter was sent to the team. There was five yuan in it. Plus my two months of work points, it was enough to repay the sweet potato noodles I borrowed from the team.

The other letter was sent to Wu Caiyu in a package. In the package were snacks and candies that Wu Caiyu loved to eat. In the letter, Lin Hui told her current whereabouts. As for the reason, she did not use the excuse of saving the big shot's mother. She just said There are other reasons, but I can't tell the truth right now. Please forgive me, Caiyu.

After these two letters were sent, Lin Hui embarked on the journey north.

Passing through many cities along the way, Lin Hui stayed in each city for two days, specifically looking for family areas of large factories and companies to facilitate the sale of these high-end materials.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone wants to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to improve their lives. The sales of these supplies are amazing. By the afternoon of the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, when Lin Hui returned to Rehe, there was more than [-] yuan in the space, plus the original With some funds, Lin Hui has become a veritable millionaire.

Although this ten-thousand-yuan household cannot be made public and cannot be seen in the light, Lin Hui feels indescribably secure with so much money in her hands.

When Lin Hui arrived at the machinery factory's family building, she was really busy. She had traveled to five or six cities in the past few days, and she had to be vigilant at all times, worried that she would be caught if she missed her tracks. After all, "speculation is a crime" is not a joke. Yes, she was really exhausted both mentally and physically with so much running around and being so worried.

When Lin Hui arrived home, Li Yun was frying radish meatballs on the stove at the door. While putting the meatballs into the oil pan, he fished them out with a fishnet.

Lin Hui put her luggage in the room, washed her hands and rolled up her sleeves to help. When she was at home, catching meatballs was Lin Hui's job, and the mother and daughter often worked together like this.

Li Yun was naturally happy to see his daughter, who had not returned home for more than half a year. He said nothing, but there was a bit of a smile on his face.

The mother and daughter talked about some trivial matters while working. Most of them were about Li Yun asking Lin Hui about her experience in the past few months. Lin Hui's answers were quite concise. Li Yun didn't take it seriously. His girl didn't talk much in the past, so she had already Get used to it.

After the two of them fried the meatballs and made dinner, everything was tidied up, and the other three people in the family also came back.

After not seeing each other for half a year, the four people in the family were a lot more polite to Lin Hui. Rather than being polite, they were actually more of a stranger.

In the small living room, a family of five sat around the small dining table, creating an atmosphere of reunion.

After the meal, Lin Hui took out the gifts for the whole family from her luggage. A bottle of Gujing wine was given to Lin Weimin, a bottle of Yashuang was given to Lin Fang and her mother Li Yun, and Lin Aiguo got a hero pen.

Of course, these things were not specially bought recently. Lin Hui selected them from the things she had hoarded in the past. Their value was neither high nor low, so it was just right to give them to them.

Because of the "four olds", we can neither post Spring Festival couplets nor set off firecrackers during the New Year. The family recites a few quotations in front of the statue of the great man, and then eats the so-called "remembering the bitterness and remembering the sweet rice" to celebrate the New Year. Thus ushered in 1977.

Although Lin Hui has lived in this city for more than ten years and attended school for nine years, she does not have any particularly close friends or classmates. Except for accompanying Li Yun back to her parents' home in the second grade of junior high school, she spent the rest of her time at home. Go out and help Li Yun cook and clean up the housework as before.

Lin Fang had only been in the factory for a short time and was not assigned a dormitory. She still lived at home. During the New Year break, she went out every day. Either she went to see her colleagues or her classmates came to see her. Lin Aiguo even ran away as soon as he finished eating.

Lin Weimin was interested in the position of workshop director. The original director would retire in three months. He took advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit the homes of several leaders in the factory so that the leaders could deepen their impression of him. He was considering the appointment of workshop director. Sometimes, I can think of myself.

Lin Weimin and Lin Fang were about to start work on the fourth day of the first lunar month. On the evening of the third day of the lunar month, at the dinner table, Lin Hui took the opportunity to announce that she planned to return to school on the fifth day of the lunar month.

The whole family was a little surprised. After all, school shouldn't start so early. Leaving on the fifth day of the fifth grade is too early!

But no one really wanted to keep her, only Li Yun felt sad. It was the Chinese New Year, and his daughter only stayed at home for six days.

When there were only two people at home, Li Yun took out a few five-yuan bills and stuffed them into Lin Hui's arms, saying angrily: "Although you are working now and earning a salary, the time to spend money is still behind you. In the future, you will find someone to marry." You always have to have dowry and life money. Mom is useless and can't help you. Just take your salary and save it. Don't send it to me. I can't spend the money at home."

Lin Hui pinched the notes in her hand and felt quite uncomfortable. When she came back from this trip, she saw Li Yun busy at home every day. The other three people were accustomed to enjoying Li Yun's efforts and discovered many problems that they had not noticed. .

Lin Hui stuffed the money back and touched Li Yun's rough and cracked hands: "Mom, I have money. In addition to salary, I also have a lot of royalties. Your daughter has published articles in magazines and newspapers in the past few months. The manuscript fee is as much as three months’ salary!”

Li Yun refused to believe anything she said at first, thinking that Lin Hui was deliberately coaxing her. It wasn't until Lin Hui showed Li Yun a sample report and remittance slip that she believed it.

Holding the newspaper and money order, Li Yun couldn't help but feel happy. He also thought that in the past, Lin Hui didn't like to go out and play. Apart from helping him with housework at home, he only read books. The reason why he is able to achieve this now is thanks to the many books he read in the past.

After Lin Hui's repeated pushback, she finally accepted the money.

At the same time, he told Lin Hui: "Don't tell other people in your family about the royalties. I have saved up your salary and royalties. You are a big girl now. Dress up well and try to find a good partner in the future!" "

Then she lowered her head and said in despair: "After all, you have been studying for so many years. When you are looking for a partner, you have to be careful. Don't be like mom. Mom is not lucky, and she is tired and you suffer along with her."

Li Yun's voice was choked with sobs and said, "Mom, I can't help you. Ever since you were a child, you have been the worst fed and clothed among the three children in our family. I was the one who made the decision to send you to the countryside. If you want to blame me, blame mom." , but don’t separate yourself from the rest of the family. It’s not easy for your dad. He earns money for the whole family to spend, and he even supported your three siblings to high school. It’s right for your sister and your brother to support you until you graduate from high school. , I have to accept your father’s love! Your sister and your brother are also children at heart, they really don’t have any bad intentions. If there is anything they can’t do, don’t take it to heart!”

Lin Hui's mother's words and the heavy atmosphere made Lin Hui particularly uncomfortable. She had overestimated the warmth and warmth of human beings since she was a child, and had suffered enough to understand Li Yun a little more than she did before.

She can remarry with her one-month-old daughter instead of giving the child away or abandoning her. Not only does she raise her daughter well, but she can also let her graduate from high school. Even if Lin Hui's biological father is still alive, he may not be able to do better than now. Even better, she had already done enough to her original self.

If Lin Hui is the worst-fed and clothed among the three children, then Li Yun is the worst-fed and clothed in the family. She has worn the cotton-padded clothes for more than ten years. Every time she can't make up the coat anymore, she changes to another one. Clothes and meals are also the last to be eaten by the whole family. Everything is done closely to Lin Weimin and the three children, putting himself last.

Lin Hui felt sour in her heart. She always thought that she was ignored and treated poorly in this family. Little did she know that in order for her to grow up safely and be able to read and write, her biological mother Li Yun had tried her best, and she had always worked hard for the whole family. Li Yun is the most neglected one!

Before Lin Hui left, she quietly put ten dollars under a bowl on the kitchen cabinet at the door. No one in the family except Li Yun would touch this place, so this was left for her.

Of course, Lin Hui did not go back to Ku County directly. The school would not start until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Taking advantage of the early time, she visited several cities on the way and sold a batch of supplies.

By the time Lin Hui returned to her dormitory in Ku County, it was already the day of the Lantern Festival!
