Lin Zimu

""Auntie, I have eaten, I am at school at 10:30

The school came back after eating. "Lin Zimu lied, but he didn't actually eat it. After getting off the car, he bought tea eggs and milk pads to pad his stomach, but he didn't want his second aunt to be busy.

The second aunt is a simple person, and she didn't think so much, she thought that Lin Zimu had really eaten.

"Here are eight pig's trotters. Two of them belong to our family. You can dispose of them. The remaining two are for my younger brother. They will probably be broken when they come back. Go to the refrigerator in the store to freeze them." The second uncle said. .

There are only small shops in the village with refrigerators. Usually, everyone will use the ice to cool down, and then pay a few dollars for the electricity bill.Originally, the refrigerators in the small shop had to be cold, so the electricity bill they paid was pure profit. The small shop is also the only place in the village where you can buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as meat and vegetables.

"Where did this pig's trotter come from?" Usually she would not be willing to buy a pig's trotter. "

Seeing her nervous look, the second uncle smiled heartily: "This is your nephew's filial piety to you. He won a bonus of 5000 in the exam and bought 8 pig's trotters for each of us."

"55000" The second aunt's eyes lit up, "Oh, hey, our Zimu is smarter than all your brothers and sisters. In addition to Zimu, our Li family is Li Dan.

One, more and more promising in the future. "

Lin Zimu's face turned reddish, a little embarrassed.

"Zimu, my aunt will clean up the room for you. You should send the pig's trotters to your uncle and aunt's place first, so as not to spoil it after a long time." The second aunt said

In fact, although she was simple, she was very clever and asked Lin Zimu to send it, which also let the uncle and aunt know that Lin Zimu was thinking of them.

People are like this.They were kind to Zimu because they thought he was Li Jiaoniang's only son, and they didn't ask Lin Zimu for anything in return.But Lin Zimu will be moved when he thinks about them.

their good honor them,

Um, "I'll send it now."

Lin Zimu's uncle and aunt are both from village A, and when they sent the pig's trotters there, the two families were overjoyed.Why are they unhappy when their nephews are filial to them?

In the evening, Lin Zimu had dinner at the second uncle's house. During the meal, Lin Zimu asked the second uncle and second aunt for their opinions: "Uncle, aunt, I will go to Village B tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." For those who go to the grave during the Chinese New Year, the Qingming Festival is a relatively small three-day holiday for students, so he doesn't go back and forth.

"Uncle will accompany you." The second uncle said.Thinking of his poor sister again, my heart is sour.

"I have to trouble my uncle to go to the supermarket in the county with me tomorrow." Lin Zimu said, "When I was young, Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang took good care of me. In the past few years, when I go back to the grave, I will also go to their place A trip, but at that time I was struggling, now I have some money, I want to buy something to go there.”

The second aunt thought for a while: "Why don't you buy it later? You are recommended in high school now, and you don't need money, but in the future, I heard from the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop that you can spend money in college, and you get [-] yuan a year. So what auntie means is , save the money now, when you graduate from college and make money, let's be nice to others

"" No, I can write a good composition now, and I can earn [-] yuan a year. "Lin Zimu said casually. Since childhood, he has been a good boy with good grades, so everyone in the family believes what he said.

"What is a good composition?" The second aunt didn't understand.

Lin Zimu carefully explained: "It's just like a newspaper. If someone writes a good composition, it will be published in the newspaper, and then they can make money. I also make money in this way. I can earn 2000 a month. I earned 2000 this semester, but because of writing It’s too late, I’ve only written it for a month.”

"Why is this so good?" The second aunt was stunned.

"So don't worry, aunt, I can save the money for college in the future. If my aunt is short of money, or what the family needs, please tell me." Lin Zimu said, "Don't be afraid to spend money."

"You, you are really" said, the aunt's eyes were red, thinking about how the child is so smart, and feeling pitiful for the child, who lost his parents at a young age, which is forced to mature prematurely.

The next morning, Lin Zimu and his second uncle went to the county seat, but they planned to go. When they arrived at the county seat, the second aunt just got off work from the bun shop, and then the three of them went to the supermarket first.It was the first time for the second uncle and the second aunt to go shopping in the supermarket with a cart like this. They used to buy things in the vegetable wholesale market, and they always felt that the things here were very expensive.

These days, there are rich people who are running water, and there are poor people who are starving to death.

"It's Chinese New Year, buy them some New Year's goods." The second aunt suggested.

"Buy red wine, [-] yuan a bottle, buy four bottles." Lin Zimu said.

"Give them four bottles." The second aunt felt that two bottles were enough, and remembering their kindness was one thing.

But now Lin Zimu is still studying, and he is not rich.

"Send two bottles to my third uncle's house too." Lin Zimu said.

"Okay." The second aunt had nothing to say.

I bought some in the supermarket, and then went to the vegetable market. It’s the Chinese New Year, and it’s the most practical to buy New Year’s goods for others.After returning to Village A for lunch, the second uncle borrowed a tricycle and drove Lin Zimu back to Village B.

Village B is the same as Village A. Farmers rely on the mountains to live on the mountains, so it’s the Chinese New Year and there is no work to do. They all sit at the gate of the village and chat, or sit in front of small shops and gossip.Seeing the second uncle and Lin Zimu, someone asked, "Who is this?"

Lin Zimu left Village B at the age of 11. Although he visits the grave every year to pay homage to his parents, he doesn't meet many people. No one remembers him.At this moment, the white and tender boy was sitting on the tricycle, attracting a lot of attention.

He was wearing the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School, black and red, with a long black down jacket and chocolate-colored snow boots on the outside. He felt out of place with people in poor rural areas like them.

"Isn't this Lin Dalang's son?"

"It's Lin Dalang's son, why are you here?"

"Go to visit his parents' grave. I saw it last year. He visits the grave every Chinese New Year."

"This child has a hard life, but the uncles are good and support him to go to school."

"You don't know this. I heard from people in Village B that his tuition fees from junior high school to high school are free. Because of the No.1 exam, many schools are vying for him, so he is admitted for free, and bonuses are given every year. , and return 300 a month's living expenses."

It was indeed Lin Zimu's uncle and aunts who said it, and then the village of Jia spread the word.

And there are a lot of intermarriages in Village A and Village B, so of course Village B also knows about it.

Uncles and aunts also spread the word on purpose to make the Lin family angry.

When they arrived at the door of Yang's house, Yang Youfeng's father was not there, and Yang Youfeng's mother was washing things, and the house had to be cleaned up for the Chinese New Year.In rural areas, cleaning is done once a year.Seeing the second uncle driving Lin Zimu over in a tricycle, his eyes lit up: "Zimu is back!"

In the past, Yang Youfeng's father was close to Lin Dalang, and she was also close to Li Jiaoniang.Later, Lin Dalang and his wife died, and this kindness became a memory, and the feelings of the memory could not be diluted.Later, when Lin Zimu went to the city, he would visit them every year when he came back, to meet and sit down.Every time she saw him, Yang Youfeng's mother felt pitiful.

Yang Youfeng's mother is a pungent person. Although she is pungent, she is very enthusiastic.

"Auntie." Lin Zimu called out, isn't Youfeng here?"

"I went to the mountain with his father to dig bamboo shoots. During the Chinese New Year, bamboo shoots are expensive, so I can sell them for some money." Yang Youfeng's mother said, "You are going to your parents' grave when you come back. I have ingots and incense here. You can take them."

No need for aunt, my aunt is ready. "

Lin Zimu hurriedly said, "I just came to see you, I bought some things, so that you can add something to the Chinese New Year."

"Why did you buy this?" Yang Youfeng's mother said, "You are still studying, and you spend money everywhere.

How can we ask for money, take it back quickly. "

Looking at the things that Lin Zimu took from the tricycle, there are really quite a lot.

Two bottles of red wine, one box of steak, one trotter, two spearfish, two hairtails, and a large bottle of oil.

This adds up to two hundred, and Yang Youfeng's mother didn't want to accept it even more, "Zimu, take it back, auntie's condition has been pretty good these few years, and your uncle has earned money from digging bamboo shoots, and you are still a student. With your uncle's money, how can your aunt take it?"

"You're welcome, just take it." The second uncle said, "This is a little kindness from the child, and the child doesn't need our money to study. He knows that the family's conditions are difficult, and he works hard to study and take the first exam to get the tuition waived. This is not true. , The high school bonus is more than the junior high school, this time I got thousands of dollars, just thinking of your good, I will give you something. Our village is poor, and we are reluctant to spend it, so the children decided to buy it for you. "

"But"

"Siblings, don't push me away." The second uncle came and said, "My Jiaoniang died early. When Zimu was in elementary school, his father didn't care and his grandma didn't love him. The house left by Dalang was forced by several uncles and aunts." If you sell it, you will be the only one in the village who is willing to give him a bite to eat. We will always remember this kindness."

"I'll take it then. Brother Li, sit down for a while, and I'll make you a cup of tea." The second uncle's words reached this point, and Yang Youfeng's mother felt embarrassed if she didn't accept it.

"Stop soaking, there are still some things here, send them to his third uncle." The second uncle said.

"Then I won't leave you."

The third uncle's house and Grandma Lin's house live in, and when I go to the third uncle's house, everyone next to me can see it.Everyone saw Lin Zimu coming, and there were many things on the tricycle, thinking that they were all going to Grandma Lin's house, but no, they saw Lin Zimu and the second uncle going to the third uncle's house.

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were both at home, and they were surprised to see Lin Zimu and Uncle Lin coming over carrying things, but before they could say a few words, Grandma Lin ran in.
