Lao Lin Ji is a place that specializes in mutton soup, the door face room, the boss and the guy are Lao Lin alone, that person is a chronic son, especially grinding, but not to mention, there are several shops around him that sell mutton soup on his best business, every day the guests at the door line up for a long time, come a little later and can't get to drink, it is said that Lao Lin has a special secret recipe for this mutton soup, and I don't know whether it is true or false, but someone really came to contact him to do a franchise store, but Lao Lin was unwilling, and he refused to give people a mouthful, so he guarded his small shop, and did not invite a man, so slowly boiled so little every day, so that many guests who queued up to drink were also very resentful。

After Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er left the campus, they walked along the street and slipped to the door of Lao Lin Ji.

"Is Lao Lin at home?" Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er walked over, and when they saw that there was a light in Lao Lin Ji, they asked.

"In. It took half a sound before there was a response from inside, and then Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er heard footsteps coming from the door, and then the curtain inside was opened, and a half-old man came out and asked, "Who?" There was a gap of half a minute between the words and the goods, and he was going to change his temper to death.

"I, am I still doing business today?" Xu Duan has not drunk mutton soup with this once or twice, can you not know what kind of temper this thing has?

"Hmm... Come in, ye guys. Lao Lin groaned and looked at Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er carefully for a long time before remembering who the two of them were, so he nodded slowly and said, the two of them were also his old customers when they went to school, and they also helped him teach him a lesson on protection money, so Lao Lin still had a good impression of the two of them.

"Oh, that's true. Xu Xuan and Lin Ying'er were surprised when they heard this, they just tried their luck, and they didn't think that there would be, after all, this is Chinese New Year's Eve, but they didn't expect Lao Lin to still do business in his Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Come in. Lao Lin picked up the cotton curtain at the door and let the two in, the northeast is not better than other places by the sea, and most of the quilt-like curtains are hung at the door of business in winter to prevent the cold.

"Lao Lin, you don't forget to make money during the New Year. Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er came in, chose a seat, sat down and said.

"It's the same for the New Year, but it's the same, I'm used to it. Lao Lin slowly put down the curtain and walked slowly into the kitchen and said, "It's still the same?"

"Yes, the same old way. Xu Duan nodded and said, the old look is actually the same thing, baked cakes and mutton soup, there is no more, because Lao Lin sells these two things.

"We haven't been here for a few years, and it's still the same. Lin Ying'er looked around and said.

"It's not much the same, I feel the same as when I was in school. Xu Duan also looked around when he heard this, nodded and said, there are more than a dozen old-fashioned wooden tables in the room, a yellowed chandelier above his head, a few yellowed koi oil paintings of unknown years pasted on the wall, and there is a small counter next to the kitchen to collect money, and the money box is placed on the counter, almost no different from Xu Duan's memory.

"Lao Lin, why haven't you changed that oil painting, it's all faded!" Lin Ying'er said as she looked at the oil painting on the wall.

"Why haven't you forgotten to replace my painting?" Lao Lin said slowly when he heard Lin Ying'er's words, Lao Lin said this for a reason, when Xu Duan and Lin Yinger were in school, Lin Yinger was not satisfied with his painting, and always wanted to change it for him, and once almost stole it off for him.

"It's not pretty. Lin Yinger said.

"I look good. Lao Lin came out with two bowls of mutton soup as he spoke.

"Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, just change it, Lao Lin. Lin Yinger said.

"No, I don't change. Lao Lin put down the mutton soup and shook his head gently, and then went into the house to get the two of them baked cakes.

Xu Duan picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of mutton soup and blew it lightly, blew a few times and drank it in his mouth, tasted it, and said, "It's still the taste of the past." ”

"No, I'll taste it. Hearing this, Lin Ying'er also hurriedly took a sip and nodded: "It's the same as before." ”

"Why do you think of me here for the Chinese New Year?" asked Lao Lin when he brought a steaming pancake to each of them.

"Passing by, I remembered to come and have a look. Xu Duan took the baked cake in Lao Lin's hand.

"Lao Lin, why don't you go home for the New Year?" asked Lin Ying'er while breaking the baked cake and putting it in a bowl.

"There's no one at home. Lao Lin sat down not far from Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er.

"Then why don't you find a wife?" asked Xu Duan as he drank the soup.

"One gets used to it. Lao Lin looked down at the string of brown prayer beads coiled in his hand.

"Aren't you afraid that no one will take care of you when you get old?" Lin Yinger and Xu Duan asked back and forth like a, really, Lao Lin is very strange, he has no hobbies to guard this Lao Lin Ji all day long, and he doesn't have any fun with others, and if you want to say that ordinary businessmen love money, he is not moved by people looking for him to join him and send him money, a particularly strange person.

"Why didn't they come with you when you were in school?" Lao Lin didn't want to talk to the two of them about the old man's pension, so he changed the topic.

Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er fell silent when they heard this, but they lowered their heads and drank soup at the same time, and no one answered Lao Lin's words, as if they hadn't heard it.

Lao Lin has lived for fifty or sixty years, and when he saw this situation, he knew that he might have said the wrong thing, so he didn't say more, and suddenly the small shop was quiet, leaving only the sound of Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er drinking soup.

The big and small Su in Lao Lin's mouth are called Su Jin and Su Xiu respectively, the children of Aunt Xu Duan's family, cousin Su Jin is one year older than Xu Duan, and cousin Su Xiu is one year younger than Xu Duan, when he was a child, Xu Duan especially loved to go to his aunt's house, but at that time, Su Jin hated Xu Duan very much, because the aunt loved Xu Duan very much, and it was better for Xu Duan than to his own son, especially when he was sleeping at night, he was holding Xiao Xu Duan and kicking Su Jin away, so every time Xu Duan went, Su Jin said to the aunt with a look of disdain that your son is here, and he looks like he is raised by his stepmother。

However, Su Xiu is the opposite of Su Jin, she is Xu Duan's first brain-dead fan, she has been Xu Duan's follower since she was a child, she follows Xu Duan wherever she goes, even if she goes to school later, she doesn't see it better, when it comes to winter and summer vacations, Xu Duan can not go to their house for two days, she runs to Xu Duan's house to play, in the words of her aunt, in her eyes, she Xu Duan's brother is simply omnipotent.

Originally, Su Jin, who was a good boy, didn't like to see Xu Duan very much, and felt that Xu Duan was too violent and didn't want to play with him, but since he met Lin Yinger in high school, he instantly became Lin Yinger's brain-dead fan, and he came to Xu Duan to play when he was a little free, and he said that he would take care of his cousin, but don't look at Su Jin's big Xu Duan is one year old, who takes care of whom is really not necessarily.

One thing Xu Duan remembers very clearly is that he just started the end of his first month of high school, just in time for the school holiday, Xu Duan and Lin Ying'er walked out of the school gate and saw Su Jin being pulled by a few thugs and looked like they were going to beat him.

The reason is also very simple, Su Jin's academic performance is too good and handsome, and he is often accosted by beautiful girls, so he is not used to being looked down upon and wants to beat him, saying that he is too arrogant.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" asked Li Shuai after blocking Su Jin at the school gate, and then asked Su Jin with a slow collar.

At that time, Su Jin shook his head with a somewhat panicked look.

"You don't even have this bit of self-knowledge, do you say you owe a little?" Li Shuai looked at Su Jindao with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Jin swallowed and foamed, his mouth trembled a little, and he squeezed out a smile and gave Li Shuai a smile: "Big... Big brother, if there is anything wrong with me, you instruct, I will definitely change it, definitely!"

"I can't get used to you as a person, I will listen to you how you say you change. "Li Shuai originally specialized in bullying Su Jinlai, so naturally he came here.

"Big brother..."Su Jin's face was embarrassed, although he was honest but not stupid, could he not hear that the other party was Ben who came to bully him?

"Can't you say it? Then I didn't mean wronged if I beat you, right?" Li Shuai said lightly.

"Big brother, don't you bully people?" Su Jin is a young man after all, even if he is honest, can he still have a little temper?

"Yes, it's bullying, what, do you still want to hit me?" Li Shuai looked at Su Jin with a smile and asked, pointing to his face and saying, "Come, hit here, come." ”

"Why did I beat you, I didn't mess with you. "Su Jin has never seen this, and he was a little stunned.

"You don't fight you, don't blame me. Li Shuai grinned and slowly raised his hand with a snow-white mouth, saying that Li Shuai still has a set of bullying people, and that kind of unhurried action is still quite frightening in the eyes of the bullied.
