Non-sister-in-law Raiders

The next day, Lin Jinyun cheered up and went to work.

In the next few days, besides going to work, she had another job, which was to follow Xu Xiaofeng to ask about his progress.This week, almost every day after work, I went to the mathematics teaching and research section to ask Xu Xiaofeng about his problems. At first, others didn't take it seriously, but as the number of times I searched, some colleagues who love to talk about gossip began to spread that the two of them were messing with each other.

Xu Xiaofeng has always been uninhibited, so he naturally takes a lenient attitude towards rumors.

Lin Jinyun didn't have any extra thoughts to refute the rumors at all. She had been unhappy all week because she didn't receive any good news from Xu Xiaofeng.

Jiang Lan still has no news.

For Guo Chunlan, this week was a comfortable one.

On Tuesday morning, she made a phone call to go to the school to find out. She deliberately chose the time when her daughter was going to work to call Jiang Lan in the reception room.

She heard Uncle Zhang in the reception room yelling for a long time but no one answered the phone, so she had a [-]-[-] chance of winning in her heart.But after all, she was still worried, so she called again on Friday to test it out, but Uncle Zhang didn't even bother calling, and told her directly that Jiang Lan probably doesn't live here anymore, and hasn't been there for several days. meet her.

Guo Chunlan was very happy. Although she couldn't openly show off the results like a winner, she was excited inside and felt that she had resisted another blow from life.

Once she was in a good mood, she didn't feel that the inconvenience of her legs and feet was such a big problem.Besides, she was going to be strong for a lifetime, and this little setback was only a small hurdle for her.She told herself: It's just a hemiplegia, not a disability, as long as you grit your teeth, you can always pass.

So, Guo Chunlan began to actively restore the functions of her legs and feet every day, and exercised her left leg and left hand little by little.

One Saturday, Lin Jinyun came home and saw his mother practicing lifting his feet in the yard. As soon as he saw him entering the door, he pointed to his left foot and smiled, "Look, I can still raise my foot."

Lin Jinyun stared blankly at her mother's smiling face, this was the first time she saw her mother smile in two months.

Lin Jinyun couldn't bear to blame his mother for this smile, so he swallowed the question he had prepared about Jiang Lan, and replied with a not-so-clear smile: "Well, take your time and practice. I will help you."

Guo Chunlan's positivity and optimism lifted the atmosphere of the whole family, and the Lin family gradually returned to the calm before the storm, but the name "Jiang Lan" has since become a taboo in this family, and everyone avoids it like a scourge.

Except for Lin Jinyun, everyone tacitly chose to forget it.

Week after week, Xu Xiaofeng still had no news of Jiang Lan.

Lin Jinyun returned from full of hope to disappointment at the beginning. Although she did not affect her work, colleagues, students and family members with her disappointment, once she was left alone with others, she immediately became depressed and full of worries.

She started running to Jiang Wei's school every week, asking him about Jiang Lan's whereabouts.The first few times Jiang Wei thought she was annoying, and ignored her, thinking that if she refused a few times, she would not come again.Unexpectedly, Lin Jinyun was unmoved by the wind and rain, and came to him every week.

Even if Jiang Wei was not moved by Lin Jinyun's perseverance, he was also frightened by such obsession, so he finally told her the truth after seeing her waiting at the school gate in the evening self-study.

"Don't come to me again. Let me tell you the truth. I know where my sister is, but I will never tell you. It's useless for you to come. Next week is the final exam. Your behavior will affect my review. "

"How can you tell me?"

"My sister won't let me say it, so I won't say it anyway. You go, don't come to me. "

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back.

Lin Jinyun hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Jiang Wei, tell me, what is she doing now? Are you doing well?"

Jiang Wei turned his head to look at Lin Jinyun, bit his lip and thought for a while, and said to her: "She is doing well, and someone is taking care of her. You...you should give up on this."

Lin Jinyun hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked, "What do you mean? Who takes care of her? Who is she with?"

Jiang Wei waved Lin Jinyun's hand away irritably, and said, "Don't ask. That's what it means, think about it for yourself. My sister is such a nice person. Besides, you... you are still a woman... oops , what's going on here? It's so annoying! You go!"

Lin Jinyun's face turned ashen for an instant, and he was speechless in a daze.

Seeing her appearance, Jiang Wei felt a little scared, and said softly to her: "You really don't want to come here again. Let me tell you one last thing, my sister is no longer in this city, so don't waste your efforts."

Jiang Wei walked towards the dormitory building without looking back, and when he climbed up to the fourth floor where the dormitory was located, he looked down curiously and saw that Lin Jinyun was still standing there motionless.

He was startled and frightened, so he went down to the first floor to make a phone call in the dormitory administrator's room.

The call was connected quickly, and he asked the person who answered the phone to call Jiang Lan, and after a while, Jiang Lan's voice came from the Kung Fu phone.

"Hey?"

"Sister, it's me."

"Serena, what's the matter?"

"She came again just now, and I told her what you taught me. She turned pale with fright after hearing what I said. She hasn't left yet, so she just stands there. Sister, what should I do? Will she be okay like this?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before answering: "Does she look okay? Has she lost weight?"

"It looks a little thinner than before."

"yes..."

"Sister, are you okay over there? Why is it so noisy next to it? It's past eight o'clock and it's still so noisy. Is it like this every day?"

"The construction site is like this. I'm fine, don't worry about me. Study hard, it's the end of the term, you have to hurry up."

"Well, I know. Sis, or you'd better come back. I won't tell her, you come back secretly."

"Serena, my sister can't go back. Okay, you go back and review your homework, I'll hang up."

"Sister, take care of yourself."

"Well, I will, don't worry. You study hard."

"Ah."

After Jiang Wei hung up the phone, he looked outside again. Lin Jinyun had already left.

After that day, Lin Jinyun really didn't come to Jiang Wei for questioning anymore, nor did he ask Xu Xiaofeng about his progress, and even made him no longer have to help find someone.

She was thinner again, with high collarbones and sunken cheeks.Sometimes when she worked overtime late, she didn't even eat at all, because as soon as she walked to the small stove on the balcony, she would think of Jiang Lan when she saw the small electric stove, and she couldn't eat anything when she thought of Jiang Lan.

Xu Xiaofeng couldn't stand it anymore, and occasionally asked Lin Jinyun to go out for entertainment, but she never went.

She used to like those colorful joys, dance drama, chess, poetry and painting, but when Jiang Lan left, it seemed that she took away all the colors of this world, leaving only a piece of empty and boring gray.She didn't even write with a calligraphy brush, and she stopped listening to the radio. She just worked hard and worked overtime, doing things that others didn't like to do.

But no amount of work will be done, and there is a summer break for school.

Another year of summer vacation came, and Lin Jinyun remembered that it was during the previous summer vacation that she first met Jiang Lan. In just one year, she had already experienced love and parting, ecstasy and sadness, exhausted physically and mentally.

Guo Chunlan's condition has improved a lot. She no longer trembles when she walks, but she still can't hold heavy objects with her left hand, and she can't do heavy work at all.

Lin Jinyun proposed to go to Duck Farm to help her brother and sister-in-law during the summer vacation. Guo Chunlan stopped her when she heard the words, but gradually found that her daughter staying at home made her feel even more uneasy.Because whenever Lin Jinyun had nothing to do, he stared at the pot of orchids he brought back from school in a daze, and ate less, and even less talked.

One night, when Guo Chunlan got up at night, she heard movement upstairs, so she went up the stairs to the second floor to check Lin Jinyun's room, only to find that there was light under the crack of the door.She listened to the movement on the door for a while, but she heard Lin Jinyun's voice suddenly coming from the room. The voice was not too fast or too slow, just like giving a lecture.

Guo Chunlan listened for a while before she understood that her daughter was reading the text aloud.

In the next few days, she paid attention to the movement upstairs again, and soon discovered a phenomenon: Lin Jinyun would shut herself in her room and read textbooks almost every night, sometimes for ten minutes, sometimes for more than half an hour.

Guo Chunlan was terrified by this discovery, and felt that such behavior was too weird and crazy, so she told Lin Weijian about it and asked him to think of a way.

Lin Weijian loved his younger sister, he hesitated for a while before he said: "Mom, let me tell you, or else go and find someone, let her persuade Ah Yun..."

"No way!" Guo Chunlan interrupted Lin Weijian coldly without waiting for Lin Weijian to finish speaking: "Don't even think about it! You are not allowed to find her either!"

Lin Weijian didn't expect his mother to hate Jiang Lan to the bone. He was afraid of irritating his mother again, so he asked Guo Chunlan, "Then what do you say? I feel uncomfortable seeing Ayun like this. I used to laugh a lot. A positive person, you see, she has been staying at home for half a month, has she ever laughed once? Stop joking, she doesn't even want to talk now, sooner or later she will get sick from boredom!"

"Forget it, let her go to work in the duck farm. Maybe she won't think about Jiang when she's busy. Let's talk about it after two months. When she goes back to school and has something to do, she won't think about anything else. "

Therefore, Lin Jinyun was sent to the duck farm to help.

When she arrived at the duck farm, she just put her head down and worked hard, working hard like a machine, and treating the ducks as carefully and thoughtfully as a student.Going out early and returning late every day, eating less and working more, after two months of working, the whole person became thin and dark, and there was no enthusiasm and desire for life in his eyes, as if he lived only for doing things.

Guo Chunlan was both distressed and unable to stop it, because since Lin Jinyun went to help the duck farm, he never read textbooks silently in the middle of the night.

She knew that her daughter was tired, but she could only cruelly act as if she didn't know, and she only hoped that this summer vacation would pass sooner.
