A widower's entertainment

Chapter 26 [Letter from Many Strange Women]

Change a job?
  Lin Youcheng had naturally considered it. He also wanted to work in a cultural center like the dentist writer, so that he would not have to sweep the streets but could also wander around the streets.

I just don’t know if the cultural center here in Decheng can be late for work by an hour or two.

"Of course I have thought about it."

"It's just that the subdistrict office didn't arrange any other work for me, and because I have to take care of my children, other working hours may not be suitable."

"Now, after I finish sweeping the streets every morning, I come back to take care of my children. Besides, I also have to write a manuscript, so I can only continue to sweep the streets."

When the girl sitting behind Li Xue heard what Lin Youcheng said, she immediately said: "Then we can't always arrange for you, Teacher Lin, to sweep the streets!"

"How can you keep sweeping the streets!"

It was obvious that the girl was more anxious about his work than Lin Youcheng.

When Lin Youcheng heard this, he was a little surprised when he saw the girl's expression of injustice on his behalf. He glanced at the child in his arms and said, "Sweeping the streets doesn't matter, the main thing is whether she can take care of the children."

Li Xue heard Lin Youcheng's words. She knew that Lin Youcheng was considering taking care of the children, but she respected Lin Youcheng more and more in her heart. She also thought that she must find a way for Lin Youcheng. How could the literary author keep sweeping the streets? live.

"Teacher Lin, did you have a similar experience when writing "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"? I heard that you also went to the mountains and countryside and worked in the countryside?"

"Yes, I went to the mountains and countryside in 72..."

……

Lin Youcheng was chatting with the reporter from "Decheng Daily" about "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and some things about going to the mountains and countryside in the past. However, Lin Zhaoxi came back with his younger brother and younger sister, followed by a woman. .

"Dad, Teacher Li sent us back today."

Lin Youcheng hugged Lin Zhaole and turned around to see a young female teacher following Lin Zhaomei.

He felt familiar, but he couldn't remember the name of the female teacher.

Li Aihong saw that Lin Youcheng didn't seem to know her, so she hurriedly said: "Teacher Lin, hello, I am Lin Zhaoxi's teacher, my name is Li Aihong."

"Hello, Teacher Li."

Lin Youcheng held the child in his arms. Although he didn't quite understand why this teacher Li Aihong wanted to help send Lin Zhaoxi and his sister back, he quickly thanked Li Aihong.

"Teacher Li, thank you. Thank you very much for your hard work."

Li Aihong said a little embarrassedly: "No, I'm just passing by."

Li Xue on the side saw that Lin Youcheng's children had returned from school and their interview was almost over, so he said: "Teacher Lin, that's all for our interview. Thank you very much, Teacher Lin, for accepting our interview. I really appreciate it." I'm disturbing you."

Lin Youcheng naturally also exchanged polite greetings.

Li Aihong was very impressed when she saw that there was actually a reporter coming to interview Lin Youcheng.

After the reporter left, Li Aihong also noticed Lin Youcheng's gaze, her face was a little unnatural, and she said: "Teacher Lin, I have read the novel "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" you wrote. It is really touching. I read it. More than once, I especially like the love story you wrote."

"The third child you wrote is really perfect."

Lin Youcheng did not expect that Teacher Li Aihong would come home and chat with her about "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

In this regard, Lin Youcheng naturally could only agree with Li Aihong's words.

"Thank you."

Li Aihong looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of her. He was actually quite good-looking. Although he was much haggard and old, he could still see the charm of his youth.

The key is that he is so talented to be able to write a story like "Love at the Hawthorn Tree".

"Teacher Lin, are you also the third eldest child at home?"

Female reporter Li Xue also asked this question just now, and Lin Youcheng naturally nodded.

Li Aihong looked at Lin Youcheng, who was holding the child and busy taking care of other children, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are so good to the child."       ..."

Lin Youcheng didn't know what to say. He couldn't answer these words and asked instead: "Teacher Li, do you want to have dinner together?"

"Ah, this is not good!"

Li Aihong wanted to stay, but felt embarrassed.

What Lin Youcheng was thinking was, since he didn't think it was good, why would he stay here?

He already said he was going to eat, but on his face he said: "It's okay, I'll do it now."

"Xi'er, take care of your younger brothers and sisters. I'll go cook first."

Lin Youcheng put Lin Zhaole in his arms into the cradle and said something to Lin Zhaoxi again.

Lin Zhaoxi nodded and said, "Okay."

When Li Aihong saw Lin Youcheng going to cook, she couldn't help but think of the scene in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" where the third child and Jingqiu went to the farmhouse and the third child cooked.

"Let me help you, Teacher Lin."

"?"

Lin Youcheng was confused, girls nowadays are so direct, are they not polite?

Although he was surprised, Lin Youcheng didn't show it on his face and just said: "No, Teacher Li, please sit down for a while."

Li Aihong said, "It's okay, I'll help you."

Lin Youcheng saw that Li Aihong had walked in front of him and walked to the kitchen.

"..."

……

After dinner, Lin Youcheng felt something as he watched Teacher Li Aihong leave.

For some reason, the teacher Li Aihong in front of him reminded Lin Youcheng of the letters he had received.

He has recently received a lot of letters from readers, including many letters from female readers.

Yes, there are really many.

Not a letter from one strange woman, but letters from many strange women.

Those letters all expressed their love and affection for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree". At the same time, many female readers seemed to regard Lin Youcheng, whom they had never met, as the most trustworthy person, and wrote some secrets in their letters.

Although Lin Youcheng hasn't read those letters yet, the beginnings of many of them are similar. I want to tell you a secret that I have never told anyone else...

Lin Youcheng not only saw some secrets, but also saw some people's tears.

There were mottled tears on the letter paper. It was obvious that the woman who wrote the letter was crying while writing the letter, either sad or moved.

A strange woman wrote a letter, lamenting the perfection and affection of the third child, while confiding her sad secrets, telling the painful past of being abandoned by a bad man, and regretting that she had not met a man who loved her as much as the third child.

Lin Youcheng felt doubly stressed about these letters from strange women, because he never expected that strange women would write to him and tell him such unknown things.

I don’t know whether those strange women regard him as a middle-aged widower as their close sister or their close brother.

Or maybe, those strange women who wrote letters are doing so with good intentions——

Making up his mind.
