At eight o'clock the next morning, Lin Aiwei finished breakfast and was about to go out, when the school academic affairs office called and told her to take Lincoln to meet the school board of directors on Monday morning.

I received a reply saying, "Almost not there, but now I'm sure it's there!"

Lin Aiwei complained in her heart that she was making a mistake, but she sent a WeChat message and said: I have good news for you, I will go to you at noon.

"Can you not come at noon, I still have to take care of the food!"

Lin Aiwei's heart instantly exploded and replied: This news is worth a year's meal, I not only want to eat, but also you want to make it yourself!

On the other side, there is a bitter face portrait full of black lines!

Lin Aiwei was in a good mood, and shouted happily to the house: "Mom, Dad, I went to visit the house, and I won't come back for dinner at noon!"

The door of the house opened, and Lin Mu floated out in a loud voice and said, "Got it, Weiwei, pay attention to safety on the road, don't get tired, ah!" The cartoon sound that seemed to be a pleasant goat on the TV also floated out, Lin Aiwei Gege smiled, closed the door and went out.

According to the address of Huanhuan's house, Lin Aiwei navigated the travel route, and it was not very far, just at home, school, Lincoln's old building, and then more than a dozen old tube buildings on the edge of Hongyun Bridge!

Don't underestimate the old tube building, this tube building was the family building of the Haicheng garrison officers thirty years ago, and it is really not something that ordinary people can live in, so Haicheng is demolished everywhere in the dark, but no one dares to move this piece of tube building, the reason is nothing more than nostalgia, memories, feelings and the like.

When I arrived at the fifth floor of Huanhuan's house, I found that more than a dozen old buildings were five stories high, messy and scattered everywhere, mottled gray semi-elliptical cylinders, a black lacquered corridor, the inside was a curved staircase, the small windows outside were square, the wires were intertwined and messy, the air conditioner was one east and one west, and there were rusty mailboxes outside, plus the gray sky that had rained last night, it felt very depressing and uncoordinated.

Huanhuan's house is on the third floor, the first time I came, the reason is that there have been some changes in Huanhuan's family this semester, and Huanhuan's parents are missing!

Huanhuan's grandparents didn't tell Huanhuan what the reason was, they only said that they went out to work, but they hadn't come to school for more than half a year to hold a parent-teacher conference, and they hadn't seen Huanhuan, Huanhuan was a cheerful and lively child by nature, loved by his grandparents and grandparents, and he didn't feel lonely when he took care of him, but he was scratched by a few naughty eggs and kept sprinkling salt, but Huanhuan has been crying more and more recently!

Lin Aiwei knocked on the door twice, and as soon as the footsteps came, the door opened.

A kind old lady about sixty years old looked at the young and energetic Lin Aiwei, paused for a few seconds before reacting, and hurriedly said eagerly to the house: "Huanhuan, come out quickly, you see who is coming." ”

Huanhuan's innocent and lively voice immediately came from the house: "Mom, Dad, you are finally back." ”

As soon as she came out of the door, she saw that it was Lin Aiwei, and she lowered her head and said with a red face: "Hello Mr. Lin, ah, Mr. Lin, why are you here, and you don't tell Huanhuan in advance, Huanhuan asked grandma to make something delicious." ”

Lin Aiwei put down the nutritional products in her hand and several snacks that Huanhuan usually liked, hugged Huanhuan and said, "Huanhuan is really good, Teacher Lin wants to surprise you, so she suddenly attacked and saw if Huanhuan was well-behaved at home." ”

Huanhuan was very happy, her red little face smiled like a flower, and she pulled Lin Aiwei and ran to the back room, saying, "Teacher Lin, it's too crowded outside, let's go sit inside, I just had a math problem, and my brain hurts." ”

Lin Aiwei followed Huanhuan inside, and smiled helplessly in her heart, silly girl, the teacher teaches Chinese!

When I arrived at Huanhuan's small room, I found that the pattern inside the tube building was really cramped, the outside was a square living room, about twenty square meters, along the left side of the door was a row of old-fashioned cabinets in the eighties and nineties, writing desks, wardrobes have occupied one-third of the place, and the cabinets were parallel to the long dining table, several chairs were close together, barely passable, the right side of the door is the kitchen and bathroom, all of which are the kind that a person can not turn around when he enters, there is a light green old refrigerator by the door next to the kitchen, buzzing from time to time, there are a few budding potatoes in the gap between the refrigerator and the door frame, a bunch of wilted celery, and two carrots。

On the opposite side of the door, against the wall, there is a row of tatami mats two meters wide, about two meters and five meters long, and about ten centimeters high, on which are placed clothes, quilts, and daily necessities. The door of Huanhuan's small room is connected to the tatami mat, separated by a curtain in the middle, and Huanhuan's small room has nothing but a small bed, a desk, a bookcase, two chairs, and a television covered with cloth.

The lights in the room were dim, the desk lamp was on, and Huanhuan was carefully doing her third-grade math homework, and she didn't relax for a moment because of Lin Aiwei's arrival.

Lin Aiwei sat on the side, instructing and laughing with Huanhuan, the old lady boiled hot tea from the kitchen, washed the teapot and cups, and brought in the tea leaves that had not been opened for a long time.

"Teacher Lin, you have worked hard, the weather is quite humid today, take a sip of hot tea first!"

"Thank you, Grandma Qi," Lin Aiwei picked up the teacup and held it in her hand, feeling very comfortable when her palm touched the heat!

Huanhuan finally got the math problem right under the guidance of Lin Aiwei, clapped her hands happily, and then took out half a box of chocolates from the desk drawer, handed it to Lin Aiwei with a smile, and said, "Teacher Lin, let's eat chocolate together." After speaking, he opened one of the pieces, broke half of it and sent it to Lin Aiwei's mouth.

Lin Aiwei took it with her mouth, just took a bite, and felt that the taste was a little strange, so she coughed, caught it with her hand, and took another sip of tea and said to Huanhuan: "Huanhuan, who bought this chocolate for Huanhuan, can the teacher guess!"

Huanhuan blinked and said: "Don't guess, don't guess, my parents took Huanhuan to the playground to buy it during the Spring Festival this year, and the three of us said that we would eat together, I have eaten it for a long time, and there is still half of it, and I will eat it together after my parents come back for the New Year." ”

Lin Aiwei felt a little sour in her heart, and put the chocolate in her hand into her mouth again, except for being a little bitter, she couldn't tell what the taste was.

Lin Aiwei held Huanhuan in her arms and tied her ponytail into two horns, just like when she was a child.

Huanhuan knows where Mom and Dad have gone, and whether they usually have a letter or a phone call. ”

Huan Huan leaned his head on Lin Aiwei's arms when he heard this, tears rolled in his eyes, and said: "Huanhuan doesn't know, but I know that my father may be sick, my father has been coughing since the beginning of the year, and he often dozes off and is tired, our new home in Dongcheng was sold by my mother, and it must be like this when we are sick, they must have gone to the capital for treatment." ”

Lin Aiwei felt that the child's feelings should be the keenest, so she sighed secretly in her heart and silently prayed for Huanhuan's father twice!

Lin Aiwei sat with Huanhuan in her arms for a while, and Huanhuan took out a photo of her parents from under the pillow again, and said something about the past to the photo, one moment was happy and bright, and the other was silent to interrupt all good emotions.

Before leaving, Lin Aiwei finally took Huanhuan's chocolate away and promised to return it to the exact same, although Huanhuan was reluctant, she also felt that Mr. Lin was more important than chocolate!

After going out, Grandma Qi said that the old man had gone to buy vegetables and would come back immediately, hoping that Lin Aiwei would eat before leaving!

Lin Aiwei repeatedly explained that she was very busy today, and she had a date at noon, and before leaving, she secretly stuffed an envelope to Grandma Qi and told Huanhuan not to let Huanhuan know, and then went downstairs with a heavy heart.

When I got downstairs, Grandpa Qi happened to be carrying a bag of fish, meat and eggs, and when he saw Lin Aiwei, he quickly grabbed him and said, "Teacher Lin, don't dislike here, even if it's for the sake of joy, let's have a light meal here." ”

Lin Aiwei hurriedly greeted and took the big bag in Grandpa Qi's hand, and said, "Grandpa Qi, I have told Grandma Qi and Huanhuan that there is indeed something wrong at noon, otherwise I will definitely eat here, Grandpa Qi, I will help you send it." ”

Although Grandpa Qi didn't want to trouble Lin Aiwei, his legs and feet had been injured by gunshots before, and now that he was old, climbing the stairs was a big burden, so he had to say apologetically: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, I trouble you again, my leg was shot three times during the Anti-Japanese War before, and it is really useless when I am old." ”

"It's okay, I'll help you. After speaking, he helped Grandpa Qi to slowly go upstairs.

When she was about to get upstairs, Lin Aiwei couldn't help but ask Grandpa Qi and said, "Grandpa Qi, do you know where Huanhuan's parents went, if you know, we can help Huanhuan find it, if there are any difficulties, let's find a way to spend it together." ”

Grandpa Qi's face looked even older, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Teacher Lin, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really embarrassing, our family is also a military family of two generations, I didn't expect to let that unpromising bastard take drugs and make his family fall apart!" After speaking, he sighed heavily, turned around with tears in his eyes and said: "Teacher Lin, don't let Huanhuan know, he said that he went out to rehab drugs, and I don't believe it, if something happens to our family one day, please trouble Teacher Lin to help bring Huanhuan, and I will be blind." ”

It turned out that she was taking drugs, Lin Aiwei sighed in her heart, nodded sadly and affirmatively and said, "Don't worry, if Huanhuan's parents don't come back, when Huanhuan is older, I will take me to my home, and it will be convenient for life and school." ”

When Grandpa Qi pushed the door open and entered the house, his face had returned to calm, and he nodded to Lin Aiwei and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, you should hurry up and get busy, good people will be blessed!"

Lin Aiwei walked down with a heavy heart, and saw that it was almost half past ten, so she quickened her pace and walked towards the Hongyunqiao bus station.

After walking three or four hundred meters, I felt that someone was following, but when I looked back, I shook my head suspiciously and continued to hurry.

When I arrived at the station, the car just arrived, Lin Aiwei was in a good mood, and hurriedly squeezed into the car, and after five stops, I finally got off the train near the old building where Lincoln was! I looked at my mobile phone, and at eleven o'clock, I felt a little hungry, and I wondered with some expectation whether Lincoln would cook a table of dishes and wait for her!

When I arrived at Lincoln's studio, the door was still open, and when I went in, the coffee table was covered with a new tablecloth, and a few dishes were placed in the heat.

"Lincoln, Lin Taixian, Teacher Ben has come to dinner. Lin Aiwei put down her bag, sat on the sofa with her buttocks, looked at the shrimp for a while, smelled the steamed fish for a while, and glanced at the door of the kennel a few times, it seemed that she wanted to eat a bite or two first.

I finally walked out of the room slowly, holding a large bowl of soup in my hand, put down the table, did not speak, went in again, and after a while I held the rice cooker and two chopsticks.

"Would you like to have a drink? I asked Lin Aiwei, who was already doing it.

"Whatever, well, it's juice. Lin Aiwei was busy eating shrimp in her mouth, and she probably didn't know what she said.

I hurriedly took two more boxes of juice from the refrigerator, put one box in Lin Aiwei's hand, opened one by myself, and took a sip.

"Hey, you help me open it, it's really ungraceful. Lin Aiwei waved her hand with a wicked smile, this time planning to summon this arrogant wood to her heart's content.

I had no choice but to open the juice again and put it back.

"Don't worry, Lin Daxian, I have peace of mind for this meal, and when I am full, I will give you peace of mind. ”

"I've already calculated it, so I've ordered four good dishes. ”

"I don't know it, let me tell you this time, save you from being unfathomable, and affect my eating. Lin Aiwei hurriedly stopped Lincoln, who was about to confess, and suddenly reacted again and said in surprise: "What did you just say, you ordered this dish, didn't you say that you would do it yourself, it's not sincere!"

I knocked the soup bowl with a spoon and said, "This is my sincerity, oh yes, and half a pot of rice." ”

Lin Aiwei glanced at the tomato seaweed egg drop soup, and compared the four bright and beautiful dishes, and was speechless.

I sighed to myself: "Baked prawns with celery and lemon, steamed sea bass, stir-fried mushrooms with lilies and yams, braised oxtail, although I can't cook these good dishes here, but this meal is worth it." ”

"Even if you still have some conscience, come with me to the school at nine o'clock in the morning on Monday to meet the school manager, our school is ready to take you over. ”

"Expected, expected. "As soon as I saw the movement of the plates, I shook my head and hurried to join the food battle.

After eating, I put away the table, put the fish tank greenery, and found a small exhaust fan to vent the door.

Lin Aiwei leaned on the sofa with her stomach in her arms, and suddenly asked me: "If you negotiate with the school, how much money are you going to charge the school?" ”

I smiled and said, "Aren't you going to talk to you, the Academic Affairs Office has given you a task, of course I have to let you eat and drink well before I can talk about the price." ”

Lin Aiwei was speechless for a while, but she hated that she was so hidden and he saw it, so she had to say: "Nonsense, who will negotiate with you, I'll just ask casually." ”

"Just ask, then 10,000. ”

"What, 10,000 a year or 10,000 a month. ”

"Of course, 10,000 yuan a month, two days a week to give psychological counseling to children in need, if necessary, two more psychological classes are fine. ”

Lin Aiwei instantly felt deceived and said: "What, such preferential conditions, it will cost 5,000 a month to open your mouth with me, and there are more than 2,000 people in our school, and you only receive 10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to working for the school." ”

"There's no way, I'd rather not earn the child's money, besides, isn't this what you negotiated with me, this is just a reflection of your ability." ”

Lin Aiwei felt a little better in her heart, and said: "Even if you have a conscience, we will become colleagues in the future, and I have to ask you to take care of me in the future." ”

"You're welcome, your business, I should. ”

Lin Aiwei reacted at this time and said frustratedly: "Can I still get my money back?" ”

I waved my hand with a black line on my head and said, "Well, this really can't be refunded, I bought a dog, Labrador ~4000 yuan." ”

Lin Aiwei hurriedly looked around, meaning, what about dogs.

I rubbed my head embarrassedly and said, "Dog, give it away." ”

Lin Aiwei said: "What, the 4,000 yuan dog was given away, do you have relatives here." ”

I had to touch my head again and said, "I may be the child of her distant nephew's family, I don't know the specifics, what she says is what she is." ”

Lin Aiwei was a little familiar with it, but she didn't have an impression, so she asked: "Lincoln, have you been deceived, there are many liars now, and you can't prevent it." ”

I said with certainty: "I wish I was a liar, but no, she is so lonely, she is not lying to me, she is lying to herself!". ”

"Yesterday afternoon I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, passing by the gate of the community on the side of the vegetable field, I saw an old lady, holding a dog leash without a dog, looking around as if looking for something, I saw that the old lady's legs and feet may not be very good, so I went to ask her, grandma, are you lost the dog, do you want me to help you find it, the old grandmother instantly came to the strength, grabbed my hand, a handful of snot and tears said that the dog was lost, asked me to help her find it, I didn't think much about it, all the way with the chattering old lady around, but the whole community turned around for more than two hours, and did not find, I had to ask her again, grandma, you have been walking for so long, tired, do you want to rest, and, where did the dog be lost, do you always remember it wrong? The old grandmother touched her head and said, oops, I really remember wrong, my dog is dead, and I cried again after speaking, I was speechless, so I had to take the old lady to the pet store in the market again, and bought her a Labrador, but I didn't expect her to say that I was her distant nephew's child, praising me everywhere, and introducing me to the object, I had a big face, and I was tricked by her for a long time at first, and finally I didn't even have a chance to refute, because her memory was not very good, so I forgot it, I bought vegetables and had dinner with her, and almost didn't give me tired to death. I was almost caught by her again today, but fortunately her plan didn't work out, otherwise, I would have to make this drama into a series. ”

Lin Aiwei laughed and said: "Oh, this old grandmother can't be Grandma Chen, she has a slight elderly brain problem, hey, what are you, introduce you to a blind date." ”

Lin Aiwei's face flushed instantly, her heart skipped twice, thinking that it turned out that Grandma Chen was going to introduce him to him, and thought, it's so dangerous, it's good that I didn't go today, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

But Lin Aiwei thought so in her heart, and asked unwillingly: "Lincoln, do you have a partner, why did you fall into Grandma Chen's trap." ”

I had no choice but to say calmly: "There is no object, but there are two lovers, one has passed away, and in my heart, the other has been lost and cannot be found for the time being." ”

This is also the answer, no wonder Grandma Chen can't figure it out. ”

"Hey, do you know Grandma Chen, then the blind date arranged today won't be you. ”

Lin Aiwei was instantly embarrassed and said: "You just want to be beautiful, Grandma Chen used to be the women's director of the street, everyone knows her, and we haven't met for many years after the demolition." Lin Aiwei lied a little, and she also had a little loss in her heart.

"Well, I don't think it's possible, I'm eight or nine years older than you, who can introduce me to you so unreliable, that designation has a conflict with your family. ”

"Lincoln, don't blame Grandma Chen, her children and grandchildren are all abroad, and she has lived alone for a long time, and her mind is not very clear, and she is often confused. ”

Lincoln smiled and said: "How can I blame her, it's just sad that there are many old people like her in our country, and I don't know if the dog of the elders and relatives has died, whether the children have forgotten or don't care, how can I say it clearly!"

Lin Aiwei was even more disappointed after hearing this, and the good mood of a meal was almost gone, so she had to get up and say goodbye!

"Don't forget to look for me at school at nine o'clock on Monday, send me a WeChat message when you arrive, and I'll pick you up at the door!" Lin Aiwei absentmindedly told Lincoln and left slowly.

I had to touch my head again, thinking to myself that this girl has such poor acting skills, Grandma Chen has already told me that it is her, fortunately I am calm enough, otherwise it will be more embarrassing in the future!

After cleaning up the table, I felt a little tired, and lay in the kennel in a big shape, smoking a thin cigarette with a blue buttocks, inhaling deeply, deeply missing the lost figure, she has an innocent smile, considerate and careful smile, she likes to travel around, embrace nature, challenge nature, she, although only a figure!
