Entering the house, Zhong Lin was stunned at first, but returned to normal in an instant. However, even this instantaneous change did not escape Zhong Lingyue's eyes.

Zhong Lingyue glanced at Zhong Lin and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect me to live in such a place." ”

Zhong Lin was at a loss for a while, and unconsciously "en", but in an instant he realized something and hurriedly said: "Oh, little aunt, that I am not ......"

Zhong Lingyue lives in a one-bedroom house, said to be a one-bedroom house, in fact, a total of 20 square meters, a bedroom, there is a one-meter-five bed in the bedroom, a fabric cabinet, the hall can only be regarded as a dining room, there is only one sofa and a coffee table, the coffee table should be used for eating, and there is a small cabinet, there is a big red Chinese knot hanging on one wall against the sofa, and a quartz clock is hung on the opposite wall, and there is nothing else as far as the eye can see. Then there is a small kitchen, and the kitchen facilities are also very simple, a box of "black elephant" instant noodles is placed in the corner next to the gas stove, and the toilet doubles as a shower room. As soon as he entered the door, the structure of the entire room was unobstructed, which was why Zhong Lin was stunned when he entered the door.

At this moment, Zhong Lingyue continued with some sadness, "The people in the village think that I have been working hard in the big city for several years, and it must be very beautiful, but in fact, the money in the city is not easy to make!"

Zhong Lin had already put his travel bag in the corner, and when he saw Zhong Lingyue say this, he hurriedly said: "Little aunt, I think this house is very good, look at how clean it is by you, there is no dust at all, although the house is small, but the sparrows are small and have all the organs, it is very warm! Besides, Southeast City is such a good city, where every inch of land is valuable, renting this house, I'm afraid you can't get down without a thousand yuan, right?"

Zhong Lingyue showed a smile and said: "When did you kid learn to praise people and make people happy! This house costs 1,500 yuan a month, not counting the property and utility bills, this is not last month I knew you were coming, otherwise I would ......" Zhong Lingyue suddenly realized something, and swallowed back half of the words.

At this time, Lingyue jumped on tiptoe to the side of the sofa and sat down. But she didn't realize that the pair on her chest was slamming together. When Zhong Lingyue turned around and saw Zhong Lin looking at her directly, and the destination of her gaze was her chest, she said angrily and annoyedly: "Hey, what are you looking at? Help me look at my feet!"

Zhong Lin is not a womanizer, but this afternoon's sudden "grab", and now when he suddenly saw Zhong Lingyue's pair again, he suddenly lost his mind somehow, so he hurriedly blushed and said, "No, I didn't see anything, I was distracted just now......" and then hurriedly walked over to the sofa and sat down, lifting Zhong Lingyue's feet.

At this time, Zhong Lin heard the sound of running water above his head near the toilet, "bang, bang......", he remembered that it was not raining outside, why was there a sudden sound of running water upstairs. So he asked Zhong Lingyue: "Little aunt, isn't this the top floor, why does there seem to be the sound of someone flushing upstairs." ”

Zhong Lingyue sighed and said: "The upstairs was built by the government after the slope was leveled, and later it was distributed to the top floor for storage, and now they are all living in people, but they can't cook, it's no problem to boil water and soak instant noodles or something, there is also a toilet, and the flushing sound is the toilet upstairs, but the sound of sound insulation was not taken into account when renovating, so there is a sound downstairs when flushing the water upstairs." But don't say it, the attic windows have everything, so the lighting is very good, and it won't be damp, much stronger than the basement, and the rent is 1,000 yuan a month. It's just that the place is a little smaller, and some places can't straighten up, and now there are two girls living upstairs who have just come to Southeast City. ”

Zhong Lin listened while already checking Zhong Lingyue's ankle, it was a little misaligned, as long as he came over, he was ready to divert Zhong Lingyue's attention, because this kind of misalignment is best in a relaxed state, and the injured person will only hurt a little. The more nervous or even chaotic the injured person is, the more difficult it will be to straighten up, and it is often not effective.

"Oh......" Zhong Lin said with a sigh of change of topic, "Then you have to give 1,500 yuan to your family every month, and the pressure should not be small, it's really hard for you......"

"My brother and sister-in-law, you also know, you can't make much money by being lazy all day long, but you still have to send my little nephew to Dongping City to study in a noble primary school, what do you say that the people who come into contact with this way are different, and the vision is high in the future, the development is good, and the tuition fee of 50,000 yuan a year is 50,000 yuan, they can't take it out, so they ask my dad for it, my dad is so old, and now he has to do small jobs to make money for his grandson, and I feel uncomfortable as a daughter."

Zhong Lingyue's thoughts were really pulled back to that remote mountain village all of a sudden, and her eyes were already red at this moment, as if she had finally found someone to talk to, and poured out all the grievances that had been held for several years. From how I ran into walls everywhere when I first came to Southeast City, how many jobs I changed to, how much I earn a month now, firewood, rice, oil, salt, ginger, vinegar tea, and then I opened a small employment agency two years ago, which barely settled down.

Zhong Lin knew in his heart that the reason why the little aunt had not returned home in the past two years was because when the little aunt went home for the Spring Festival two years ago, her sister-in-law wanted her to increase the 1,000 yuan sent home every month to 1,500 yuan. In the end, the little aunt couldn't bear it anymore and quarreled with her sister-in-law. He didn't go home for more than two years after that, and it was from that time that he didn't see his little aunt for more than two years. Although the little aunt quarreled and did not return to the village, she still sent 1,500 yuan to the family every month. Zhong Lin knew that the little aunt was not for her brother and sister-in-law, nor for her little nephew, because she never thought that it was right for her little nephew to go to a noble school, and she felt sorry for her father......

"Ah......h

Zhong Lingyue suddenly screamed, and then said angrily: "You stinky boy, don't say a word!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his feet didn't hurt as much as before, to be exact, he was already moving freely.

Zhong Lin shrugged his shoulders and said slyly, "Hey, that's what you want", and then reached out and just touched Zhong Lingyue's ankle, and then moved away in an instant, and sweat flowed down instantly.

Zhong Lingyue felt like her ankles were wrapped in a warm current at this moment, which was extremely comfortable.

Zhong Lingyue still wanted to say something, but Zhong Lin's snoring had already remembered, and he wanted to listen to his little aunt like that all the time, but he was too tired and tired.

Zhong Lingyue stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the big boy in front of her who was sleeping like a child, curled up on the sofa, and her face showed a girlish smile that she should have had for a long time. Zhong Lingyue took a blanket from the bedroom and covered it for Zhong Lin, and after making sure that Zhong Lin had indeed slept soundly, Zhong Lingyue took her change of clothes and tiptoed into the bathroom to take a bath......

When Zhong Lingyue finished taking a bath, put on the thick pajamas she had specially bought two days ago, and walked out of the bathroom door, she suddenly heard Zhong Lin's voice.

"Little aunt, I know it's not easy for you, don't worry, now that I have me, I won't let you live in the basement anymore, I won't let you live in the mezzanine again, I won't let people bully you anymore......"

"Whew, Whew......"

The ensuing snoring sound made Zhong Lingyue realize that Zhong Lin was just talking in his sleep. However, at this moment, Zhong Lingyue could no longer control her emotions, and tears were dripping down wantonly like pearls with broken threads......

This "henchman" who used to grow up with her and followed her all day long with "the little aunt is long, the little aunt is short"; this "desperate boy" who once saw a few children in the village bullying the little aunt, fought them desperately, and finally beat away a few children who were two or three years older than himself; this "crybaby" who secretly cried for several days after hearing that the little aunt was going to work in the southeastern city far away; now he has grown up and become a man, and his mind has become so delicate......

Seven years ago, when she came to Southeast City alone to look for a job, due to her low education, Zhong Lingyue did not cry when she ran into walls everywhere; she lived in the basement, and during the day she could only see the wheels rolling outside through the narrow window, and when she was woken up by the mouse next to the bed when she slept at night, Zhong Lingyue did not cry; because of her young age, she was excluded by her colleagues and deducted her salary by the leader, Zhong Lingyue did not cry; in order to save enough money to send to her family, she saved money and ate frugally, ate instant noodles and mustard vegetables for several days, bought stall jewelry, and miscellaneous clothes, and finally was not understood by her family, and when she quarreled with her sister-in-law, Zhong Lingyue still did not cry......

But at this moment, Zhong Lingyue cried, crying like a little girl, no longer suppressing the feelings in her heart, tears flowed down like a spring, all the grievances and helplessness she had endured alone in this strange city for 7 years were released and vented at this moment......

Tired of crying, Zhong Lingyue lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze, although sometimes she occasionally sobbed once or twice, but she always had a smile on her face. This night was the most solid night she slept in the seven years she came to Southeast City.

As usual, she dreamed, but this time she had an extremely sweet dream, in which Zhong Lin and she went to work together, went home together after work, and cooked delicious meals together, and on weekends they went to climb the mountains together, watched the gorgeous sunrise, went for a walk on the beach together, and watched the most beautiful sunset...... Although she still doesn't have a lot of money and doesn't have a big house, she feels extremely happy together!

The next morning, when the warm morning light sprinkled on the bed through the curtains, Zhong Lingyue woke up and stretched her waist beautifully, except for her eyes were a little dry, her whole body seemed to be so comfortable from the inside to the outside. When she got out of bed, she found that her ankle no longer hurt, and she even walked much easier......

Zhong Lin was still asleep in the living room......, and Zhong Lingyue didn't wake him up, because she thought that Zhong Lin must have been tired yesterday, anyway, Zhong Lin just came to Southeast City and had nothing to do, even if he did, he didn't care about this day and half a day, so she just let him sleep until he woke up naturally.

Zhong Lingyue stretched out her hand and covered the blanket on Zhong Lin's body again, for fear of waking Zhong Lin, she didn't make breakfast at home, so she left a note, pressed it with the key that had already been prepared, and then went out to work alone after putting it on the coffee table......
