When they arrived at the house, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a haggard face had just come out of the back room. He saw a look of guilt flash across his daughter's face, and then he saw Lin Yi suddenly startled, as if he didn't know Lin Yi was coming.

Gan Pingying didn't notice it, and happily stepped forward to hold the man's right arm: "Dad, where is my brother?"

At this time, Lin Yicai noticed that the man's left arm was empty. There was no special expression on his face, he just smiled and said hello to Gan's father.

"Your brother went to the fields just now. Didn't I tell you not to come back? Who is this?" Father Gan asked his daughter in a stern tone.

"His name is Lin Yi. My friend, come back with me to see you this time. I'm just thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time!" Gan Pingying said coquettishly, holding Gan's father's arm.

"Oh, sit down quickly. I'll get you some water. You haven't eaten yet. I'm going to cook now." Father Gan warmly greeted Lin Yi to sit down, but there was a bit of anxiety in his eyes.

Lin Yi looked around. There was only a set of simple wooden tables and chairs in the house. The mottled table top was covered with traces of time. A TV set made an unknown number of years ago stood quietly in the corner, covered with a white cloth. The family doesn't watch television.

Gan's father's face turned red and he said awkwardly: "The conditions at home are not good, young man, don't be offended."

Lin Yi shook his head: "It's much better than the house I lived in before."

Gan's father looked stunned for a moment, then looked at his daughter with some worry, sighed imperceptibly, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Oh, Dad, how can I let you cook now that I'm back? You go chat with Lin Yi, and I'll cook." Gan Pingying said quickly, pressing her father on the chair.

Gan's father hesitated for a moment, nodded, and sat down.

As Gan Pingying left, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Lin Yi frowned and didn't know what he was thinking about, and didn't take the initiative to raise the topic. Gan's father coughed twice in embarrassment, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

"I washed a few apples." A sudden voice broke the silence in the room. Gan Pingying came in with a plate with a few freshly washed apples on it and placed it on the table.

"Why is the atmosphere so weird?" Gan Pingying muttered as she walked out.

"..." Lin Yi was speechless. The two people who had just met were left alone together without saying a word. Could the atmosphere not be awkward?

"Eat, eat the apple." Father Gan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up an apple with his remaining right hand and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the apple without being polite, opened his mouth and started eating it. As Lin Yi bit the apple and made a "click", "click" sound, the room finally became less depressing.

"Yingying has never brought a man to the house. Are you Yingying's boyfriend?" Gan's father asked.

"Well, we have known each other for more than half a year, and our relationship was confirmed not long ago." Lin Yi nodded and answered fluently.

When Gan's father heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: "How are the conditions at your home?"

I know my own family affairs, and the conditions of the Gan family are at the bottom even in this poor village. Just now, Lin Yi said that his house is much better than theirs, which really made Gan's father think too much.

Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't have a house. Now I rent a house. It's right across from Gan Pingying. That's how we got to know each other."

"..." Gan's father was speechless and choked. He didn't know what to say, and the room fell into silence again.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Gan's father was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sudden young voice: "Actually..."

"Dad, I'm back. Is sister back?" I saw a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old rushing in. Seeing that there was a stranger in the house, his excited face became visibly solemn. There was fear and anger in his eyes.

"It's okay, this is your sister's boyfriend, called brother." Gan's father explained. The boy was visibly relieved, and then he looked at Lin Yi like a young adult.

Lin Yi briefly looked at the young man and sighed silently in his heart. The young man's dark face had an abnormal flush and his lips were slightly white. He was obviously a person who had been ill for a long time: "Hello, Xiaofeng."

The young man glanced at Lin Yi in surprise: "How do you know my name?"

"Of course your sister told me." Lin Yi said with a smile. The boy's name was Gan Feng, and he was naturally Gan Pingying's younger brother.

"Your sister is in the kitchen. Go and see what delicious food your sister is making for you." Gan's father said and sent Gan Feng out.

Gan Feng nodded, turned and ran towards the kitchen.

Gan's father looked at Gan Feng's back, his eyes full of distress. However, Lin Yi didn't know if it was his own imagination. He seemed to see a trace of disgust in Gan's father's eyes.

Gan's father got up and walked to the door and sat down on the floor. He looked up at the sky and heard a long voice: "His mother had a dystocia when she gave birth to him. The boy was in critical condition. When the doctor asked me whether to keep him older or younger, I I chose Baoda.”

"Isn't it strange why I chose to keep my wife alive but ended up passing away?" Gan's father seemed to be asking Lin Yi, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"She couldn't hold on and left without giving the doctor a chance to keep her alive. When everyone thought it would be a tragedy of one body and two lives, when my wife took her last breath, the kid's breath suddenly changed. You have to become stronger, as if you have received some help.”

"All the doctors are saying that this is a medical miracle. They are busy announcing it and doing all kinds of publicity to highlight their superb medical skills."

"Only I know that she gave her life to her only son. Xiaofeng is the continuation of her life. However, I lost her forever."

Gan's father's voice was devoid of any emotion, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

"That was Auntie's own choice, and every mother would choose without hesitation. Maternal love will never be a multiple-choice question." Lin Yi said, and in his ears he could faintly hear the two siblings laughing and playing in the kitchen. the sound of.

Gan's father turned around and glanced at Lin Yi in surprise, as if he didn't expect the other party to say such words. He nodded, stood up and dusted off his butt: "Maybe, but even though this kid survived the disaster of life and death, But he was frail and sickly, and when he was a child, he would go to the clinic almost every day."

"Ever since I accidentally broke my arm while working on a construction site, Xiaoying was only eleven years old at the time. She had to take care of me in the hospital and my four-year-old brother. I suffered a lot. Now I don't even have to. "I know how this little girl got through it in the first place," Gan's father said in a relaxed tone, trying to cover up his impending collapse in this way.

"Be nice to her..."
