Chapter 036 Chapter 36

Grandpa Lin felt a sigh of relief in his heart, "We only found out some time ago that he was discharged from the army due to injury. Your uncle Shengli's second son Qiangjun lost a leg."

As the words fell, he said heavily Sighed.

Lin Yilan moved her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Every time she encountered this situation, she didn't know what to say. She was so eloquent when she met the client, but now she couldn't say a word.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yilan finally just sighed.

As the two of them walked towards their home, they happened to see a wind blowing as they passed the old cypress tree.

The bare old cypress tree stood motionless in the wind, except for the young branches that had just grown on it, and occasionally they were blown around by the wind.

These twigs may become a strong branch next year and can even support other twigs, but they may not survive this winter and will eventually be broken by snow and fall to the ground.

Lin Yilan looked at the old cypress tree and didn't know when she stopped.

It has only been four months, but it feels like this place has become deserted.

Grandpa Lin noticed that his granddaughter was not following him, so he stopped and turned around and shouted: "Xiaolan! Let's go home."

"Oh, here we come! Grandpa." Lin Yilan pushed the bicycle and chased forward quickly. .

When she walked up to her grandfather, he raised his hand and fiddled with the Lei Feng hat on her head, and knocked her on the head.

Dong Dong—

yes, it’s a good melon.

Lin Yilan bared her teeth and covered her head with her right hand, "Grandpa, your hand is too strong, your head will be knocked out."

Grandpa Lin raised his hand and pretended to look at his palm, "Really? Why do I feel like I'm not using enough force? Why don't you let me take another shot?"

Lin Yilan pretended not to hear this and hurriedly pushed the bicycle and ran home.

But she couldn't help but muttered, "Hey, hey, I'll go back and complain to grandma later."

Grandpa Lin seemed to have heard what she said, and muttered to himself, "They say only children. If you like to tell your parents about everything, we, Comrade Xiaolan, are adults, right?"

Lin Yilan would not do what her grandfather wanted. She snorted, pushed the bicycle and ran for a few steps, then took her own steps. Long legs, riding a bicycle.

Grandpa Lin, who was left where he was, pretended to chase after him for a few steps, then stopped and slowly walked home with his hands behind his back.

He said, children should be more lively, why are they sad for spring and autumn?

"Bang——"

Lin Yilan grinned awkwardly and accidentally knocked down the door of her grandfather's house again.

"Lin Yilan, you stinky girl!" Grandma Lin's voice came out before she appeared.

Lin Yilan quickly parked her bicycle aside, squatted at the door, and stared at the iron gate of her grandparents' house.

Not bad, not bad, I can knock it back later if I find a hammer.

"Hey, are you thinking about how to repair the door again?"

Grandma Lin's voice sounded above her head.

Lin Yilan raised her head in embarrassment and smiled flatteringly at her grandma, "Grandma, there are only three things that can happen. This is the second time... Okay, I was wrong."

Seeing Lin Yilan's dog-like look, she said, Grandma Lin immediately stopped criticizing her.

However, your children still need to be educated when it’s time to educate them.

"Okay, I believe you this time."

"Before, your parents said that when you were a child, you either climbed trees or went into the water, and you also liked to tease other people's dogs. I still didn't believe it. Now I completely believe your parents.

You This girl is the least worried among all the juniors in our family."

Once Grandma Lin starts nagging, she won't be able to stop for a while.

"Last time, when you knocked on the door, you said you were in a hurry to go home. What's the reason this time?"

Lin Yilan rolled her eyes and looked back to see her grandfather's leisurely look. Thinking of him hitting her on the head, she decided to fight back. She pointed with her right hand, "Grandpa just chased me!"

Grandpa Lin, who had just entered the door, suddenly felt a pot on his head. He looked at the two people in front of him with an innocent expression. "What happened?"

Grandma Lin responded to this, and her reaction was to give Lin Yilan a slap on the head.

"Your grandpa is an old man, and he still chases you with these old legs. You shouldn't need to escape on a bicycle, right?"

This sentence broke the hearts of both people.

Killing two birds with one stone is Grandma Lin.

Lin Yilan and Grandpa Lin were so shocked that they both fell silent.

One is because the excuses I made were immediately exposed and I was embarrassed to speak.

The other one was not in the mood because he was called an old man.

The two of them returned home quietly, one after the other.

After the three of them had finished their lunch, and Lin Yilan was taking a rest after feeling dizzy from rice, Grandpa Lin suddenly opened his mouth.

"Xiaolan, your Uncle Shengli and Aunt Hong will come to our house later today. They want to ask you for advice on renovating the house for Qiangjun."

After Grandpa Ye said a lot, Lin Yilan understood that Uncle Shengli was here . Find her reasons.

Uncle Shengli has always been interested in the aging-friendly designs she made when renovating the house for her grandparents. This time they came because their second son Qiangjun was disabled due to injury, so they wanted to invite her to renovate their second son Qiangjun's house to make Qiangjun's life more comfortable and safer.

"I heard Shengli say before that Qiangjun is even stronger than before since he was injured. He usually does everything by himself and is unwilling to be helped by others. But because he was missing one leg and couldn't adapt to it, he fell several times in the house. times.

Because of these things, I heard that Qiangjun’s wife and Qiangjun had quarrels several times. Qiangjun’s wife wanted to help him, but Qiangjun was unwilling.

“Now the two children of Qiangjun’s family have been killed. He took her home to take care of her, but the couple quarreled every day, making it impossible for the child to study well."

Grandma Lin chatted about the situation at Zhao Qiangjun's home.

Lin Yilan has heard of this kind of thing all the time. After a family member suffered a huge change, the family relationship that was originally a happy family became shaky.

Zhao Qiangjun can complete some things by himself. This can be achieved by design, but if he wants to change his family's situation back to before, it may not be possible by design.

She was afraid that others would have unrealistic expectations about this matter, so she made it clear to her grandparents.

There are also Uncle Shengli and Aunt Hong.

Looking at the two people in front of her who seemed to be several years older, Lin Yilan still said the ugly things.

Zhao Shengli's brows had a faint "Sichuan" pattern, "Xiao Lin, don't worry, your aunt and I have always been aware of what Qiang Jun is thinking in his heart, but we as parents have persuaded and said it, now the only thing All we can do is help him. "

"So your aunt and I came here today just to ask you to help, at least to give this kid Qiang Jun a chance to change."

ah! Knife people should not use family knives.

Because Lin Yilan was born as an orphan and her family members had been very kind to her throughout her life, it was easy for her to be swayed by this kind of family affection.

Her original rational idea of ​​wanting to conduct an on-site inspection and communicate with the owner about the project's funding before considering whether to accept the project was shattered in an instant.

She slapped her thigh suddenly, "Okay, uncle, aunt, I will definitely try my best to help you."

"I don't know when we can go to Brother Qiangjun's house. I want to check Brother Qiangjun's situation first, and then I can help you ." I measured the dimensions of Brother Qiangjun's house..."

Zhao Shengli looked at the enthusiastic Lin Yilan and twitched his fingers.

It's great, it's great, there are still many people willing to help Qiangjun.

Aunt Ahong sobbed emotionally.

To them, Lin Yilan's current enthusiasm is more like a placebo, allowing them to see the concern of ordinary people outside the army for a strong army.

Grandma Lin was worried that her girl would get dry mouth after talking, so she quickly poured everyone a glass of water.

Lin Yilan picked up the cup on the table, drank a glass of water quickly, and wiped the water droplets on her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Uncle, aunt, have you ever heard of artificial limbs or artificial limbs?" She was not sure when prosthetic limbs appeared in China, so she could only ask tentatively.

Zhao Shengli glanced at Lin Yilan in surprise, "You also know about prosthetics? He is indeed a college student."

"After Qiang Jun was injured, their army leaders contacted him, but they are still in line now and have to wait for a while."

Lin Yilan was a little embarrassed at first, and then frowned, "Are there many people in need of prosthetics now?"

Zhao Shengli reached out and touched the cigarette case in his pocket, but thought of Lin Yilan next to him, and resisted the desire to smoke. . "Xiao Lin, you should also read the newspaper. Some time ago, we fought a self-defense counterattack against South Vietnam, plus the previous war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea."

When talking about the war, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

Lin Yilan did not expect that the self-defense counterattack had already begun, but she knew that it would continue for a long time.

War is a must-fight, Lin Yilan knows it very well, but she also wants to do something for these people.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Grandma Lin looked at the group of people who were getting more and more serious, and interrupted the atmosphere, "Shengli, you communicate with Qiangjun first and see when Xiaolan comes over. It's convenient."

Zhao Shengli nodded and smiled gratefully at the Lin family. "Then I will go back with A Hong to contact Qiang Jun."

"Xiao Lin, your aunt and I thank you,"

A Hong also said to Lin Yilan. Thanks, neither she nor Shengli expected that things would go so smoothly before they came.

Facing the elders' thanks, Lin Yilan stood up and waved her hands vigorously, "Uncle Shengli, Aunt Hong, you are so familiar with our family. Uncle Shengli and my uncle are comrades in arms, so Brother Qiangjun and I are brothers and sisters. In addition, He was also injured while defending the country, so I should help Brother Qiangjun,

so you must not be polite to me."

A Hong finally showed a heartfelt smile after so many days, "No matter what, little one . "Lan, your uncle and I still want to thank you.

But I heard that you are studying architectural design, and I happen to have a book about building houses that my grandfather passed on to me, so I will give it to you."

I saw that Lin Yilan wanted it . Rejecting, she stopped Lin Yilan, "Don't refuse. Anyway, if you put that book in my hand, it might be eaten by insects one day. If you give it to you, you can make full use of its value and not waste it.

But I After grandpa gave it to me, I took a look and kept putting it in the box since I couldn't understand it. So you have to see for yourself whether the book is of any use." After saying that, A Hong looked at Lin with some embarrassment. Yilan.

Having said that, Lin Yilan had no choice but to accept it gratefully.
