Non-sister-in-law Raiders

Saturday is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the locals attach great importance to the New Year's Day. Every household is extremely busy when it comes to the festival, and they must not be sloppy.Today is Wednesday, and a lot of things for the festival have to be purchased in advance. Aunt Lin Jinyun and his sister-in-law decided together that Lin Jinyun would stay at home with Lin Weikang, and Jiang Lan would go out to buy realgar wine, realgar powder, wormwood and other things needed for the festival.

Jiang Lan approved a long-sleeved denim shirt, put on a bamboo hat and was about to go out, but was suddenly stopped by Lin Jinyun.

"Are you going to walk?"

"Well, it's not far from here to the market."

Lin Jinyun pointed to a Phoenix bicycle placed by the wall in the courtyard, "Isn't there a bicycle, you can go there by bicycle. It's so hot outside, you can come back faster by bicycle, right?"

Jiang Lan shook her head and said, "I don't want it anymore. I'll go and be back soon. Leave the work in the kitchen there and wait for me to do it when I come back."

Lin Jinyun realized that Jiang Lan had completely misunderstood him, thinking that he asked her to go home early so that she could come back to work.

Who do you think I am?Liu Feng?

Lin Jinyun became a little angry when he thought of this, and said seriously: "Where do you want to go? I didn't ask you to come back to work early. I think you have more things to bring this time, so it's easier to have a car on your back. And ride less in the sun."

Jiang Lan also has difficulties, and has been avoiding talking about it since just now. Now seeing Lin Jinyun's angry look, she knows that she has misunderstood her, and feels very guilty. She apologizes: "I'm sorry, Jinyun, I can't speak. I'm sorry."

Lin Jinyun looked at Jiang Lan's guilt-ridden look, and couldn't vent her anger any longer. Instead, he pityed her again, and advised her, "Then go on a ride, and I'll get you the car keys. Dare you usually I walked directly to the market, I really didn’t notice it, it’s my fault I didn’t tell you.”

Lin Jinyun remembered that the key to the bicycle at home was placed in the first drawer of the six-drawer chest in the dining room, and she was about to turn around and walk into the house, but was held back by Jiang Lan. She turned her head to look at Jiang Lan, and was about to speak But was interrupted by Jiang Lan: "That car belongs to my elder brother and sister-in-law, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I saw my sister-in-law clean the car before. She doesn't usually do housework, but she works hard on the car. This car is still very new, is it her dowry?"

"So you're worrying about this." Lin Jinyun was helpless. He didn't know whether to praise her for being observant or to blame her for being overwhelmed, "Well, this car is her dowry, but it has always been shared by the family. I usually ride it It's going out, you don't have to care about it."

"You're different. It's better not to, I'll just walk."

"Then I'll go, you stay at home."

"You went to Weikang and suddenly asked you what to do? He has been clinging to you for the past two days."

"That..."

Lin Jinyun still wanted to insist, Jiang Lan grabbed her first, looked at her with pleading eyes, "I really don't need to ride a bike, don't make it difficult for me, okay?"

Lin Jinyun looked at this earnest gaze, felt very uncomfortable but didn't insist, just nodded and let her go.

Only then did she know that the irony and criticism that Liu Feng deliberately muttered in the room that day was still remembered by Jiang Lan.

Seeing that Lin Jinyun agreed, Jiang Lan smiled at her, said "Thank you" gently, and turned to leave the door.

This smile dazzled Lin Jinyun's eyes. After watching Jiang Lan leave, she secretly made a decision: to try to save money to buy a bicycle.

Perhaps in order to prove that he was not just waiting for Jiang Lan to come back to work, Lin Jinyun worked very hard at home after she left, cooked a table of meals by himself, fed rhubarb by the way, washed the kennel, and watched it with Lin Weikang An episode of Black Cat Sheriff.

But to Lin Jinyun's surprise, Jiang Lan came back very late, almost going back home with Guo Chunlan and the others.

Lin Jinyun was very surprised. He reckoned the distance from his home to the market plus the shopping time. Even if there was a delay in shopping, an hour and a half at the latest would be enough to walk back and forth, but it took Jiang Lan two trips to go back and forth. more than an hour.She really wanted to ask Jiang Lan the reason for her late return, but thinking that she had said before that she would not urge her to come back to work, it would be embarrassing to ask, so she suppressed her curiosity.

But this is not the only strange thing.

Lin Jinyun found that Jiang Lan seemed to be preoccupied since she came back from the outside.Although Jiang Lan tried her best to hide it in front of everyone, and tried her best to behave as usual, after all, Lin Jinyun had been in the same room with her for a while, and she could still detect subtle changes.

Compared to Jiang Lan, Lin Jinyun is much more forthright. He is not used to hiding problems when he encounters them. He usually speaks up and asks questions directly.So she found a chance for the two of them to be alone and asked Jiang Lan directly if something happened. Jiang Lan only smiled and said that she was too worried.

In the next few days, because they had to rush to make zongzi for the festival, both of them became busy at once. Lin Jinyun didn't pursue this matter, but he kept it in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival came, and the whole Lin family got up early to get busy with the festival.

There is a local custom that daughters married out on Dragon Boat Festival will go back to their natal home for the festival, which is commonly known as "hidden afternoon", so Liu Feng went back to her natal home to hide early in the morning with big bags and small bags.

Jiang Lan didn't have the nerve to offer to go back to her natal home, but Guo Chunlan always cared about face, and couldn't do such a shameful thing as not letting her daughter-in-law go back to her natal home, so she let Jiang Lan go back to her natal home for the festival as soon as Liu Feng left.

Lin Weijian also took a vacation for himself this day. He is a member of the dragon boat team in the town and has a big task today.In order to prepare for the dragon boat race in the afternoon, Lin Weijian took the oars issued by the team and went out early in the morning to find his teammates to practice the boat.

In the huge Lin family, only Guo Chunlan and Lin Jinyun were left to take care of the festive affairs, and they had to watch Lin Weikang, an old kid who would come to make trouble at any time, which made Lin Jinyun very tired.

There was a dragon boat race after lunch, Lin Weijian had already gone out to report to the team after eating, and Lin Weikang couldn't stay anymore, clamoring to go out to watch the dragon boat rowing.Guo Chunlan was tired all morning and didn't have the energy to go on, so she asked Lin Jinyun to take her brother to watch the dragon boat race on the embankment.

The embankment where the dragon boat was watching was already crowded with people, so Lin Jinyun took Lin Weikang to find a gentle embankment to wait for her elder brother's dragon boat to row by, and cheer him on by the way.

Soon, a burst of firecrackers was heard, followed by the faint sound of gongs and drums from a distance. Several shadows the size of rice grains appeared side by side on the river at the end of the line of sight. From far to near, it turned out to be six boats of different colors. Different dragon boats.As the dragon boat gradually approached, the audience's emotions also skyrocketed.Lin Weikang and Lin Jinyun were infected by the surrounding atmosphere, and followed the crowd to cheer for the fleet loudly.

I could only hear the drum beating faster and faster, and the crew on the dragon boat rowed harder and harder with the sound of the drum, and the water splashed on the broad river suddenly, and the roar shook the sky.The audience on the shore knew that this was the sprint stage, and the crowd was immediately excited, their morale was like a rainbow, and the cheers were overwhelming.

Amidst the jubilant shouts, a red and yellow dragon boat crossed the finish line first.Lin Jinyun was standing not far from the finish line. She stepped on her feet and looked over, and saw three large characters written in oil paint on the stern of the dragon boat that crossed the line first: Far West Village.

Far West Village?Isn't it the village where Jiang Lan's family is located?I don't know what she is doing at home now?Are you getting ready for the holidays too?

Lin Jinyun felt a little thoughtful about seeing things and thinking about others. She attributed this feeling to the influence of the festive atmosphere, so she came up with a bold idea: to visit Jiang's house.

She is a temperament who will do it when she thinks about it, but she also thinks that there must be a suitable reason for visiting so rashly.She struggled for a while but couldn't think of any suitable reason.Lin Weikang didn't know that his sister was deep in thought, he only saw her staring at the finish line in the distance in a daze, he felt that his sister was very strange, so he called her.

This call interrupted Lin Jinyun's contemplation. She turned her head to look at Lin Weikang, her eyes lit up, and she thought to herself: Isn't this the reason!

So, she happily grabbed Lin Weikang's hand and said, "Brother, let me borrow it from you."

"What? For what?"

"Haha, I just take you to play, shall we go and play with Jiang Lan?"

"Well, good. Where is she?"

"At her house."

"Her house? She's hiding?"

"Haha, yes." Lin Jinyun felt it was funny when she heard her brother's childish speculation, but she didn't want to correct him, so she continued, "Let's go find her. Let me think about it, and sing along to the song "Looking for Friends" Find and find and find friends like you do, okay?"

When Lin Weikang heard it, he immediately became interested. He just thought it was playing a game, and immediately nodded happily in agreement. My good friend."

Seeing him so happy, Lin Jinyun became happy too, and even sang "Looking for Friends" along with him.

The crowd watching the dragon boat race went to the finish line to watch the award presentation, but the brother and sister walked against the crowd singing and walking, and their strange behavior attracted the attention of others from time to time.

Yuanxi Village is located on the edge of Gaohu Town, and there is a bus at the gate of the town government that can go to the entrance of the village.

Lin Jinyun was about to take Lin Weikang to the car, and suddenly realized that he couldn't come to the door empty-handed, but he didn't bring much money with him when he came out to see the dragon boat.She thought that Zhou Mei's house was very close to the town government, so she took Lin Weikang to Fa Xiao's house to borrow five yuan.Zhou Meisai gave her a pair of rice dumplings, but she didn't refuse.Then she went to a nearby grocery store to buy a catty of white rabbit toffee and a watermelon, and then she took Lin Weikang to the car.

In the car, Lin Weikang stared at the toffee in her hand, muttering that he wanted to eat it.Lin Jinyun had no choice but to give him two from the bag, and told him that they were for Jiang Lan, and he could only eat them after he found Jiang Lan.Lin Weikang couldn't figure out the connection, thinking that the bag of candy was the prize of this game, so he was even more eager to find Jiang Lan, asking Lin Jinyun all the way if Jiang Lan's house had arrived.

The car soon arrived at the entrance of Yuanxi Village.

Although Lin Jinyun didn't know where Jiang Lan's house was, Jiang's father was known far and wide, so after she got off the car, she casually went to a family in the village and asked for the exact address.

After walking for a while in the direction the guide said, the brother and sister soon found the Jiang family.
