Chapter Twenty-Six: Lin Minyin's Home
"It's time to eat! Li Liubing, come out to eat! ”
Li Liubing and Lin Mu talked for a while, and Lin Minyin's crisp voice came from outside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Child, don't talk to my old woman, go and eat with Yinyin." Mother Lin smiled and said to Li Liubing.
"Ah, that's good...... Auntie, I'll go out first. ”
Li Liubing walked to the kitchen table and sat down, there were three dishes and one soup on the table, exuding a rich fragrance.
"Come on, how about a taste of my craft." Lin Minyin took out a bowl, gave Li Liubing a bowl of rice, and said. The embarrassment just now on the bus seems to be gone.
"Hehe, then I'm going to have a good taste."
Li Liubing took the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to pick up the vegetables when he heard a knock on the door.
A middle-aged man with a bandage on his leg walked in from outside the house on crutches.
"Dad, you're back?" Lin Minyin said to the middle-aged man.
"yes, why did Yinyin come back so early today?" The middle-aged man said to Lin Minyin, handed over the abduction to her, sat on the chair in front of the kitchen table, suddenly remembered something, turned his head, glanced at Li Liubing, and said in a very surprised tone: "Huh? Young man, how are you? ”
"Huh?" Li Liubing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the middle-aged man's words, and looked at the middle-aged man carefully for a while, feeling a little familiar.
"Don't you know me? Lad. You still came in my taxi on the day of the college entrance examination. ”
"Ahh Uncle Driver! It's you! Li Liubing then remembered that the middle-aged man in front of him was the driver of the taxi he took because he was late for the high school entrance examination and did not get on the school bus. And it also pulled him in the wrong place. I didn't expect him to be Lin Minyin's father.
"Dad, you two know each other?" Lin Minyin put the crutch on the wall, turned his head to see the performance of the two, and asked with some doubts.
"Of course I do! Alas, thanks to this young man, I'm afraid I'd have to give an account of my old bones in L City. Father Lin said with some gratitude.
"Ah, Dad, is that the man you're talking about?" Lin Minyin exclaimed.
"Yes, yes." Father Lin nodded.
"Wait, wait, what are you talking about?" Li Liubing was confused. The driver's uncle meant as if he was his savior.
"That's right, young man", Father Lin explained, "Didn't you give me 100 yuan after I sent you to No. 5 Middle School that day?" It was your 100 dollars that saved my life! I was going to wait until you came out after the exam and give you the money back. But I only waited for half an hour, and someone wanted to take a taxi, and the place he wanted to go to was not far from No. 5 Middle School, and I calculated that the distance was so close that I should be able to rush back before the end of the exam, so I pulled him. After dropping him off, I rushed back, but when I got to an intersection, a car ran a red light and collided with my car. Alas, it's really more popular than people, the car lost a little paint, but my taxi was basically scrapped. I also broke my leg and was bleeding a lot, and the owner of the car probably thought I was hanging up, so he didn't stop and ran away. ”
"Fortunately, I didn't faint at that time, I took out my mobile phone and dialed 120, and when I arrived at the hospital, the doctors saw that I was still awake and didn't rescue me first! Instead, I asked for the first aid fee and asked me to pay the deposit. M's, really TM is not human. Speaking of this, Father Lin smacked on the ground fiercely.
"Dad! You're spitting again! Eat! Lin Minyin snorted, stood up and went to get the mop.
"Hehe, hehe, I'm a little excited, I will definitely change it next time." Father Lin scratched his head, laughed at Lin Minyin twice, and then turned to Li Liubing and continued: "Originally, the money I brought with me was not enough for the first aid fee, but thanks to your 100 yuan, I could have paid the money, otherwise I would have bled too much and died." So, boy, you're my savior. ”
After Father Lin finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth.
"It's so hateful! Are they doing so in a way worthy of their conscience? Li Liubing listened to Father Lin's words and said hatefully.
"Well, young man, you're still too young. Conscience? How much is conscience worth? What can't they do for money? There is more of a darker side to this world. Father Lin was very unimpressed by what Li Liubing said, and took another bite of food and put it in his mouth.
"Dad, don't just eat vegetables, give you food." Lin Minyin washed his hands and served another bowl of rice to his father.
"Yes, yes, yes." Father Lin hurriedly stretched out his hand and took it.
Father Lin lowered his head and said while picking up the rice in his mouth: "I starved to death when I went out to do errands just now." Young man, let's talk about it after dinner, and I have to thank you. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he raised his head and asked Li Liubing: "By the way, young man, why did you come to my house?" ”
Li Liubing, who was still indignant about what happened to Father Lin, almost fell. It took me so long to enter the door before I remembered to ask myself how I got here. Li Liubing only now understands what it means to have someone outside the world. Father Lin is the real master of rough lines! Compared to him, he is simply 108,000 miles behind.
"Dad, have you forgotten that last time, I was robbed to withdraw money to pay for your hospitalization? He was the one who helped me get the money back. Lin Minyin explained for Li Liubing. Looking at Li Liubing's defeated appearance, he snickered a little. My father knows best, and the lines are not ordinarily thick.
"Ah, that thing was also done by you, young man, oops, young man, you are really a lucky star in our family!" Father Lin was really happy to hear his daughter say this. shouted in a loud voice.
"You two eat first, and I'll bring food to Mom." After Lin Minyin finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen with a rice bowl full of vegetables and rice.
"Alas!" Father Lin sighed.
"Big ...... Uncle, aunt, what kind of illness is she? Li Liubing changed his address to Father Lin and asked cautiously.
"It's uremia. It's been five years. Father Lin sighed again: "A few years ago, in order to treat her, I had spent all my family's savings. The year before last, there was no money for dialysis, so she had to go home to recuperate. In the past two years, I have relied on taking some Chinese medicine to barely make ends meet. Yinyin studied very well, but because of her mother's illness, she gave up the opportunity to go to college, was admitted to the health school, and became a nurse at Beishan Hospital. Alas, it's all because I'm a father who has no income, no ability to make a lot of money, and I can't do anything if my wife is sick. and his daughters will suffer together. Speaking of this, Father Lin choked up a little.
"Uncle, don't be too sad, everything will be fine." Li Liubing comforted. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes were red, and he was a little sad.
"All right, young man, you don't have to comfort me, I'm just whining." Father Lin wiped his eyes, and then said: "Look at me, I'm old, and I'm still crying, let you laugh." Alas, it's just that Yinyin's mother's illness hasn't recovered yet, and I have had another car accident. Although it is not crippled, I am afraid that I don't want to go out and continue to drive to earn money for half a year. In addition, the perpetrator has not been found yet, and I still have to pay compensation from the taxi company. Where can you get so much money! These burdens are going to be on Yinyin again. ”
Li Liubing silently digested Father Lin's words, a little shocked. It was shocked by the suffering of this family, and it was also shocked by Lin Minyin's strength. I have only met her a few times, but I can also feel that she is an optimistic girl. Under such tremendous pressure, he did not complain or give up on himself. has been working silently. From these things, you can feel how strong she is.
"It's really tiring to be alive!" Father Lin sighed again: "I don't know what's wrong today, I always love to sigh, young man, how old are you this year?" ”
"Eighteen." Li Liubing didn't know what Father Lin was doing when he asked his age, but he still answered honestly.
"Well, yes, my family Yinyin is twenty-one this year, and it is quite a match for you, a female junior, hugging gold bricks!" Father Lin said.
"Wait, wait, uncle, what do you mean?" Li Liubing heard that something was wrong with Father Lin's words.
"Our family Yinyin is a strong child, she has suffered a lot in order to take care of her mother in the past few years, and although she has a smile on her face every time she comes home, I can feel that she is not happy. But when I came back just now, I noticed that the smile on her face was from the heart. I thought about it and realized that it was all because of you, young man. Father Lin turned his head to look at Li Liubing, and his eyes seemed to become deeper.
"What is it because of me? I don't understand what my uncle meant. Li Liubing wiped the sweat on his head, Father Lin's thinking logic was really different.
"Young man, your aunt is afraid that she won't last long, I have seen her condition deteriorate a lot in the past few days, the two of us discussed it and decided not to go to the hospital for examination, the family's money is no longer enough to treat her, and it can only make Yinyin more painful if it continues like this. We've been hiding it from Yinyin, and her mother is trying to pretend to be the same as before, but I'm afraid it won't be long before Yinyin will know the truth. I've already decided, when Yinyin's mother goes, I'll borrow some money to pay the taxi company first, and then sell the house, and after paying back the money, I'll give the rest of the money to Yinyin as a dowry. I thought that Yinyin had a regular job, and she could live in the nurse's dormitory over there, and with a little savings after selling the house, it should not be difficult to find a good man to marry in the future. As for me, when everything settles down, I'll go with Yinyin and her mother. Father Lin said with some sadness.
Li Liubing was just about to persuade him, but what Father Lin said later dispelled his thoughts.
"Now I have a new goal, young man, I see that you have a good character, and you are also close to me, and you are also very close to our family Yinyin. The sound of our house is also beautiful. There are no shortcomings in terms of personality, and if you get married in the future, you should belong to the type of good wife and mother, how about it, are you interested in marrying her as a wife? ”
"Big ...... Uncle ......" Li Liubing sweated coldly, and changed his father Lin back to the name they called when they first met.
"We've only seen each other twice!" Li Liubing said while wiping his sweat. He admires this uncle very much, every time he talks to the end, he can make sad things like a spoof.
"Feelings need to be cultivated! Back then, I ...... Yinyin and her mother" Father Lin was still about to continue to persuade, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Minyin walking out of her mother's bedroom, and quickly stopped talking.
"What were you talking about? Why don't you eat? The dishes are almost cold. Lin Minyin was very surprised by Father Lin's performance, and looked at the dishes on the table where the two of them had not touched a few chopsticks, and asked puzzledly.
"Oh, just eat, eat that." Father Lin picked up the bowl, took two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, and stopped again. raised his head and said to Lin Minyin: "Yinyin, in fact, the young man asked me how old you are just now, and he praised you for your beauty." After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Li Liubing's face, and continued to lower his head to pick up rice.
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Lin Minyin sighed, although he knew that his father liked to talk nonsense, but for some reason he vaguely hoped that what he said this time was true. Turning his head and glancing at Li Liubing, he blushed, and also buried his head and began to put rice in his mouth.
Li Liubing sighed and picked up the bowl. The taste of the food is very good, but Li Liubing tastes tasteless. Mother Lin's condition made him feel like something was wrong in his heart, and he was a little uncomfortable.
