At noon, Ling Wenjiao followed Lin Xinmin to her house again, and as soon as Lin Xinmin entered the house, she shouted: "Dad, I brought Ling Wenjiao's classmates to our house for dinner." ”

Then I saw Lin Zhengfeng walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron, and greeted Ling Wenjiao with a smile: "Hey, you guys are back! Xinmin, bring a bottle of soda and wash some fruit for Ling to eat. Uncle cooks first, and when it's ready, you can eat. Soon. ”

With that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.

Ling Wenjiao glanced at the room and asked Lin Xinmin quietly, "Isn't your mother at home?"

Lin Xinmin's face was slightly stunned, and then she said: "Today, the primary and secondary schools will also send out report cards, and my mother will not come back at noon." It's okay, you don't have to worry about her. ”

Ling Wenjiao glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Usually your dad cooks, right?"

Lin Xinmin shook her head: "No, my dad rarely cooks at home." It's not like my mom has a job today, so he just comes back from work to do it, and he has to rush to work after a while. ”

Ling Wenjiao didn't ask anything more.

It didn't take long for Lin Zhengfeng to put a few dishes on the table in the small restaurant, four dishes and one soup.

There was roast duck and fish, a plate of fried beans and a plate of greens.

"Come, come, Xinmin, take the bowl. Ling, come and sit. While serving the dishes, Lin Zhengfeng did not forget to ask his daughter to help with the dishes and chopsticks.

Ling Wenjiao was not polite, washed her hands and sat down at the table.

Lin Xinmin happily served her a bowl of rice, and then sat next to her with a bowl herself. He said, "My dad's stir-fry is delicious! I can't usually eat it if I want to! Come on, come on, try this fish! ”

Hearing his daughter praising her cooking skills, Lin Zhengfeng, who came out after washing her hands, said with a smile: "Dad can't help it, it's not that the unit is busy, just have your mother get it for you at home." ”

Lin Xinmin also ate at school at noon, and only went home to eat at night, because there was no one to cook at noon.

Ling Wenjiao tasted the fish, and praised without hesitation: "Uncle, this fish is delicious! ”

When Lin Zhengfeng heard this, he smiled: "Oh, yes? Then eat more! I was also shocked when I heard about Xinmin's situation that night. If it weren't for you, our family Xinmin might really have a big incident that night! Now it's too unsafe outside at night, and those young people in society don't study well, and they only know how to do bad things when they are idle all day long!"

Now the economic conditions in the town are just better, but the young people are not serious about looking for work, so they will go out at night to steal and rob, and attack the young girls.

And recently, because some kind of drug has begun to circulate, in order to be able to suck those things, they will try their best to get money, and all conscience and human morality will be discarded.

Hearing Lin Zhengfeng's words, Lin Xinmin nodded again and again: "The more I thought about it after I came back that night, the more scared I became, and they still carried steel bars." I've heard that the kind of people they might carry watermelon knives ......"

Lin Zhengfeng also nodded and said, "Yes, they like to take that kind of dangerous thing out now." That day, Xinmin's uncle said that he would let him pick up Xinmin at night, but I didn't expect him to drink and forget about it! He came to our house at about 11 o'clock that night and was severely criticized by me. If he hadn't been late, Xinmin wouldn't have waited until there was no one to come back!"

Ling Wenjiao listened to him quietly, eating her meal.

Then Lin Zhengfeng said again: "Oh yes, you got the results today." How's the results?"

Lin Xinmin said: "I played normally, with a total score of 589."

Ling Wenjiao said: "My grades are not good, but they are not lower than before." ”

Her grades in her previous freshman and sophomore years of high school were mediocre, and the whole class was on the lower side. Not to mention the whole age, it is only in the last two pages that I can find myself.

This time, she slightly raised her English score, and finally pulled up her previous score slightly.

After Lin Zhengfeng listened to Lin Xinmin's score, he couldn't help but say: "Your score, let your mother know that you have to do a few more sets of questions! But if Ling's grades are not good, you can help her in the future." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Wenjiao and said in a tactful way: "Classmate Ling, if there is a subject you don't understand, you ask her." Except for her poor English, she is good in other subjects. You see, now in July, there are still ten months left before next year's college entrance examination, and you still have a chance to work hard and improve your results. Even if you can't go to undergraduate, you can get into a good junior college. ”

Ling Wenjiao nodded: "What my uncle said is that I will study hard, and I hope that Classmate Lin will not dislike me and go to her to make up for the class when the time comes." ”

Lin Xinmin pursed her lips and said, "You can call me Xinmin, or Xiao Min." Although our surnames are different, the sound is the same, and it is strange that Lin and Ling are calling around. I call you Wen Jiao, you don't mind, do you?"

Ling Wenjiao shook her head indifferently: "Don't mind, call it." Then I'll call you Xiaomin. ”

After lunch, Ling Wenjiao sat down for a while and then said goodbye and left. She had to find a house in the afternoon, and then come out of Du Xiguang's place. Otherwise, it doesn't seem very kind to always occupy other people's beds and let people sleep on the floor.

After leaving the Lin family, Ling Wenjiao began to look for the old houses on the edge of the town. Then I found a two-story dormitory building less than two kilometers from the high school, which was the dormitory building of a betel nut factory, but not the one where the junior high school girl was killed.

This side is a little closer to the town, and the location where the junior high school student was killed is farther away, and the direction is not from this side.

Because the owner of the factory went to the city to do business, the factory was rented out empty.

Ling Wenjiao looked at the phone on the door and wrote it down, and then found a store with a phone and said that she wanted to rent a room.

She rented it for two months, and when school started, she would move to the school for boarding.

The boss found a relative to help look at the house, and after hearing her say that she was going to rent it for two months, he asked the relative to look for her.

Ling Wenjiao had been waiting at the betel nut factory dormitory that afternoon until a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties came in on a motorcycle.

"Hey, little sister, are you going to rent a house here?" After seeing Ling Wenjiao, the middle-aged woman asked her after parking the car.

Ling Wenjiao nodded: "Yes." ”

The middle-aged woman took the key and took her up to the second floor and said, "The first floor is all contracted to others, and only the second floor can be rented out." Do you live here on your own?"

Ling Wenjiao nodded again: "Yes, I live alone." ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at her meaningfully and said, "If you live alone, it's a little unsafe~ But if you want to live, you have to be careful." In this way, if you are a girl, I will charge you fifty yuan for two months. Then the deposit is twenty, for a total of seventy. How?"

Ling Wenjiao said: "Auntie, it's a bit expensive." Your house is so old and a little remote. It's very unsafe, even if there is not even a door to the bathroom, you have a little less. ”
