Lin Peilan's mother was a well-educated person from the countryside, and her parents were both gone. Because her family's situation was not good, she was unable to return to the city, so she married the honest Lin You Cai, and An Xin settled down in Xiangyang Village.

However, she was not willing to be ordinary. When the spring wind of reform and opening up spread throughout the north and south of the river, she still chose the path that she believed was right.

When she ran away from home, she left a tearful letter saying that she had had enough of the hard times in the countryside and wanted to live a good life in a big city.

Father searched the communes for four or five days with the letter in his hand. He had run all the way to the bottom, but he still couldn't find her.

After returning home in a daze, he dug out the Nu Er Hong that he had buried in the yard for twenty years and had planned to start drinking on the day of Lin Peilan's wedding.

Drunk, sleeping in the patio all night, since that silent, often with a kind smile father no longer, every day drunk everywhere to shout like crazy.

At the beginning, the villagers had held some sympathy in their hearts. After experiencing Lin Peilan's drunk Lin Youcai so many times, their sympathy had turned into gossip and a hint of schadenfreude.

Lin Peilan's engagement was set last year. In another month, she would be married to the childhood sweetheart who grew up next door, Li Wenjie.

After Li Wenjie graduated from high school, he had already worked at the town's police department for more than a year. He was eating food and was always the best son-in-law in the village.

Lin Peilan was the only junior high school graduate in the village, and her father had a craftsmanship as a carpenter, so he could earn money.

Furthermore, after Lin Peilan graduated from junior high school, she went to Tea Factory to work. In the beginning, she was only a tea worker, but after four years, she was considered to be one of the top tea workers. There were no storms in four years and she also had a fixed source of money.

The two of them were childhood friends, and their relationship was already good. Everyone thought that it was a beautiful thing, but who would have thought that Lin Peilan's mother ran off with someone else, and after some rumors spread for a few days, Lee Family came to annul the engagement.

Now that the dust had settled, she and Lee Family and Li Wenjie would no longer have anything to do with each other.

Lin Peilan raised Lin Peiwen for two days. He didn't go to school on Sunday, nor did he run out like usual to help with the pigweed and feed the chickens at home.

His little friends were not trapped by their families. They followed behind him and helped him work. Even a few of Lin Peilan's rabbits were eating the grass they dug up.

After Lin Peilan's head did not faint, she immediately went to work, and wanted to plant the seedlings. She had to take advantage of the days when Tea Factory had not started to work, to do more work at home.

Lin Youcai had stopped drinking on the second day after Lin Peilan's marriage annulment. He only worked in silence, looking as though he hadn't changed at all.

Lin Peilan was not confident about the boast she made in front of the Lee Family people that day. However, when she thought about the ugly face of the Lee Family people, she hardened her heart.

Just because of this, she couldn't admit defeat.

Eldest Aunt would usually help the village's young ladies introduce the marriage. She had a wide range of connections, and in the past two days, she really did go outside to run around for Lin Peilan's marriage.

As he was pouring the pig food into the wooden basin in the pigsty, he suddenly remembered Eldest Aunt's shout.

"Peilan!" Peilan! There's good news! "

"He's here!"

When Lin Peilan came out with the bucket, she saw Eldest Aunt lifting the teapot and pouring water into her mouth.

After drinking for a while, she wiped her mouth and beamed, "This is great news!" Now you can also be proud of yourself! "

"Eldest Aunt, what's the good news?" Lin Peilan put down the barrel and asked in a cooperative manner.

"Let me tell you! daughter-in-law died in childbirth last year, her son was twenty-seven years old, and she had been visiting him everywhere recently!

I told them about your situation. They were willing to take a look first.

Let me tell you, their family is much better than the one next door! " Eldest Aunt said mysteriously.

"This... That's not good! "

It was true that Lin Peilan did not want to marry a widower with a child, so she was a little displeased.

"What's so bad about that!" The supply shop is a place with plenty of oil and water, if you marry her, you would definitely not be worse than Lee Family who dug food out of the ground.

Their son also worked at the public Tea Factory in the town, so his monthly salary was more than thirty yuan!

Furthermore, he already has a son, so there's no pressure at all for you to not care about having children in the future. "

Although the family's conditions were good, Lin Peilan was not too interested in being someone's stepmother.

However, since Eldest Aunt had been so diligent in running for two days, Lin Peilan was too embarrassed to refuse. Thus, she made an appointment and the two of them looked at each other beside the movie theater in the town.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day they saw each other. Lin Peilan purposely cut a cut on her forehead and followed Eldest Aunt.

It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Quite a number of people picked glutinous rice grains to process. Lin Peilan and Eldest Aunt went to town to process glutinous rice dumplings.

After placing the grains at the processing station, Eldest Aunt gave instructions to come over after a while to process them. Then she pulled Lin Peilan over to the entrance of the cinema.

It was the middle of the morning, and there were quite a lot of people coming and going on the streets. Boys with long hair and wearing bell-bottoms were running about the streets, arms around each other's shoulders.

When he saw a young girl, he whistled with pursed lips, regardless of whether the other person looked at him or not.

"Sister, you're so beautiful!"

"That's right, that's right!" "So handsome …"

"Go go!" I didn't see any adults around! "A few lackeys, go away!" Eldest Aunt snapped rudely. No one would give face to the idle men in the town.

Lin Peilan didn't look at the bold boys. She lowered her head to look at the toes and suddenly realized that the rubber soles on her shoes had been burnt a hole at the tip of her foot. It was too late to change them.

"These shameless things! "Nonsense, he's not going to the factory to work, he's going to earn at least a few dozen yuan a month!"

Lin Peilan did not respond to Eldest Aunt's nagging and just quietly followed her.

After turning a corner, Eldest Aunt started to chat with the others. Hearing Eldest Aunt's warm words, it was obvious that she was familiar with that person.

"His aunt is here too! Isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival? Since the Old Granny is going to send dumplings to all the aunties, I have to prepare the glutinous rice in advance. I brought Second Uncle's niece here! "

"This ceremony cannot be taken lightly! "My family's Dragon Boat Festival is filled with good things, a dozen dumplings, cuttlefish, and light dishes can't be lacking …"

Lin Peilan peeked out from the corner of her eyes and realized it was a woman in her forties who looked to be in her fifties. She had ironed her hair, and she was carrying a black satchel.

When the conversation finally stopped, Eldest Aunt came over and introduced her to the woman.
