"Ruri, why aren't you at home. I shouldn't be wrong, last time I remembered that it was this courtyard, it shouldn't be wrong, what the hell is going on?' Tan Lin stood at the door of Xu Liuli's house, looked at the tightly locked gate, and shouted for so long without seeing anyone come to open the door, and realized that there was no one inside.
But last time, it was clear that Xu Liuli brought her to this house! How could there be no one, she shouldn't be wrong. Moreover, Ruri said yesterday that she would come over today, and she would definitely be waiting for her at home.
Tan Lin put the heavy luggage aside, kept circling around the house, and kept muttering in her mouth.
"Linlin, why did you come so early. As soon as Xu Liuli got out of the car from the alley in front of him, he saw a person at the door of his house who kept turning in circles, worried that it was Tan Lin, said hello to his parents, hugged his younger brother in his arms, and walked forward quickly. trotted to the door, just in time to see Tan Lin's turned face, and shouted in surprise.
"Isn't that afraid that my family will regret it? So after they agreed, I hurried over. Ruri, whose child are you holding in your arms! Tan Lin listened to Xu Liuli's cry, and suddenly let go of her depressed breath, she just didn't find the wrong house. Just looked at the pink child in Xu Liuli's arms, and was shocked.
Although I knew that my aunt was pregnant last year, the time of birth would not be now, it should have been born a week ago.
"Of course it's my brother, I'll tell you about it later. It's inconvenient to hold the child now, you take out the key from the pocket of my jacket, let's open the door and go in first. I guess my mom and they will have to wait a while before they can come. Xu Liuli looked at Tan Lin's puzzled expression and said nothing. Signaled with his eyes that his key was in the pocket of his jacket, and asked Tan Lin to open the door quickly.
"Hey, Ruri. Have you made it clear to your family, have you agreed? According to Xu Liuli's words, Tan Lin took out the key from the corner of her pocket, and cared about the things planned by the two of them while opening the door.
"Yes, you can. Tomorrow morning we will leave directly from my house and go to the train station to buy tickets to Landu. However, how much money did you bring from home this time. When Xu Liuli heard Tan Lin's words, her eyes flickered subtly, and then she changed the topic.
"I didn't bring much, and you know that I have a younger brother at home, and my dad has never agreed to let me out, so it's a total of five hundred yuan. When the time comes, find a temporary job first, or you will starve to death. Tan Lin opened the door with a "bang", because the sound just missed Xu Liuli's deep groan. Unhurriedly, he said the money in his bag without any scheming.
"It's okay, it's just a rush. Let's go, put the luggage in the living room first, it doesn't look good outside. When Xu Liuli heard Tan Lin's words, she didn't say anything on her face, just hugged her sleeping brother and led Tan Lin to the living room.
Tan Lin sat on the sofa in the living room alone, drinking the tea that Xu Liuli brought her just now, and savoring it carefully. Suddenly, at the door, Xu Liuli's parents came in, their faces were capitalized, and they quickly put down the tea in their hands.
stood up and shouted obediently: "Auntie, uncle is good." “
"Linlin is here, sit. Take this as your own home, don't be restrained, what about Liuli?" Mother Xu was very happy when she saw Tan Lin's well-behaved and generous appearance.
"Oh, the kid is sleepy, Ruri goes to carry him upstairs to sleep, and he should come down later. Tan Lin saw Xu's mother walking in front and Xu's father behind, carrying a few large bags of things in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and did not forget to reply.
"No, you sit on the couch and rest, I can get this thing. Father Xu saw Tan Lin coming over to help him carry the items in his hand, and shirked his refusal. I really couldn't live up to this kindness, and handed over a small bag of children's clothes in my hand.
"This kid is really sensible. Mother Xu watched Tan Lin help her husband carry things, and praised her without sparing.
"Mom, who is sensible! is it me?" Xu Liuli just put his younger brother on the bed and walked to the staircase, when he heard his mother's praise, narcissistically thought it was him, and casually responded.
"It's just you, the laziest. Hurry up and help Dad put everything away, and then bring the food and drink and put it on the coffee table. When Xu's mother heard her daughter's words, she laughed a little, and then sat on the sofa like a queen and instructed Xu Liuli to do things.
The three of them worked together, and the speed was really much faster, and after a while, several large packages were completely packed up.
Panting on the sofa, Xu Liuli thought that the timing was very good, and opened her mouth and said, "Dad, help me pack my things tonight, I'll leave with Linlin tomorrow morning." “
"What, will you leave tomorrow?" Father Xu's calm heart jumped violently when he heard the news.
"Well, it's only two months of summer vacation in total, so go early, and come back early. Xu Liuli saw that her father's voice was just a little loud, and she was not strongly dissatisfied, so she was relieved and continued.
"Okay, I'll go cook first, and you can talk. Because there were outsiders here, Dad Xu endured his temper, didn't say it to his face, got up and left from the sofa.
The atmosphere on the sofa was a little stagnant, Tan Lin looked at Xu Liuli, who was expressionless, and then looked at Xu's mother, who had been smiling, scratched her head in confusion, and didn't ask a word like a dumb person.
"Lily, the child is leaving tomorrow, and I am a little reluctant. Xu Qingping hugged his son and said to Bai Li, who was making milk powder.
"What if you are reluctant, children will grow up after all, it is good to exercise more by yourself and go out, when the time comes, you will really work in the society, and it is not easy to be deceived. Bai Li shook the somewhat heavy milk powder and said with relief.
"yes, what if you don't give up. Xu Qingping sighed sadly when he heard Bai Li's words.
The cold moon hung on the branches of the trees, sprinkling a bleak light, and the surrounding stars were dim and lackluster, only the beautiful moon could be seen!
"Mom, don't send it, it's windy outside, it's not good for your health like this. Xu Liuli picked up the package in her hand, looked at her mother and kept shouting to send her, and politely refused.
"It's okay, I'll watch you go, otherwise my mother won't be relieved. Bai Li's eyes were full of reluctance to look at Xu Liuli, and then she held her daughter's hand without holding the bag, put the money in it silently, and then silently patted Xu Liuli's shoulder.
Xu Liuli felt the edges and corners of her hand, and instantly understood something, looking at her mother, who was still a little weak, and her father, who had a temper but had always been deliberately glancing at her, and said resolutely: "Let's go first, you will go back later." Linlin, let's go take a ride!"
After speaking, he quickly put the money in his hand into his jacket pocket, picked up the luggage on the ground and the package in his hand, shouted Tan Lin, and walked towards the platform of the train.
The crowd, the noisy noise, the reluctant calls of relatives, just faded away, in the sound of the train's horn.
"Ruri, don't be sad. I now realize how much courage it took to take that step. Tan Lin sat by the window of the train, looked at the passing scenery, and said with emotion.
