Chapter 244: Miscellaneous Matters
"Well, it's ten bucks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
In the small shop in the village, a woman who looked like she was in her forties looked at Lin Yu, and also looked at the child next to her helplessly, she also felt sorry for the child, there were no parents, but no matter how pitiful it was, the profit of the shop was not much, and the income was just enough to live, and it was impossible to give the gun to the child.
"Buy one for this kid, and the rest for bullets."
Lin Yu smiled and took out twenty yuan from his pocket, and then handed it over.
This money is brand new, it is the New Year's money given to him by his parents, twenty-one, a total of five hundred yuan, Lin Yu took it with a smile at the time, earlier at that time, his New Year's money was twenty of ten yuan a year, but at that time, the hundreds of New Year's money given by relatives were ruthlessly collected by his parents.
The hostess of the shop glanced at Lin Yu, was stunned for a moment, and then took the money, and then handed over a silver-gray plastic gun and twenty bags of bullets.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, and then handed it to the child: "Don't cry, take it." β
The child who was still holding the old man was stunned for a while, and then tentatively stretched out his hand, but at this time, the old man slapped the child's hand, making the child retract his hand, as if he wanted to cry, but when he saw the old man who suddenly became stern, he didn't dare to cry.
When Lin Yu saw this scene, he immediately smiled: "Grandpa Su, don't you know me?" β
"Are you ......?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yu, looking puzzled.
"Huh! Are you a child of the Far Mountain family? β
At this moment, the hostess of the small shop suddenly spoke, looked at Lin Yu, and had a surprised expression, the children of the Yuanshan family are now big celebrities in their village.
"Well, Aunt Lin, long time no see." After being recognized, Lin Yu also smiled, "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years." β
If you had to add it up, it would have been 30 years, right?
However, the old man generally can't change his appearance, so until now, Lin Yu recognizes him, but his hair and beard are a lot whiter.
It's just that what he didn't think about was, why did he bring a child?
"The children of the Yuanshan family, they have grown up, they have grown up!" The old man smiled and looked at Lin Yu with a sigh, and at this time, the child saw that his grandfather and Lin Yu seemed to know each other, so he stretched out his hand and took the gun, and after taking it, he ran directly to the outside of the shop.
And now, the most talked about in their village is nothing more than the fact that Lin Yuanshan's children have opened two companies while they are still in college.
If there is one in the village who has been admitted to two books, it will make all the children in high school talk about it, not to mention that child has taken one, and now he has achieved so much, how far should he develop after graduation?
Although Lin Yu didn't really want his parents to talk about his affairs in the village, he also knew that this matter might not be avoided at all, and it would not be a big deal to talk about it.
After chatting a few words at the shop, Lin Yu immediately bought dozens of yuan to eat, and then went straight to the place where he lived with the old man.
"Child, my house is dirty, you sit on the kang."
The old man took a clean cloth and wiped the edge of the kang, and his wrinkled face was also a little radiant.
"It's already clean, you don't have to wipe it."
Lin Yu smiled helplessly, put down those small breads and other food, and then sat down, looking at the small place in front of him, which was only twenty or thirty square meters.
Overhead, there were even some clods of soil that occasionally fell, and Lin Yu could see the dust that kept falling on the wall, shining in through the glass of the window, full of a sad feeling, which came inexplicably.
This is still the kind of place that resembles a cave, as early as 1986, after he came to this world, also before 1999, during this period of thirteen years, Lin Yu has been living in this kind of place, although it is small, although it looks shabby, but it is the deepest and most indelible memory of their northerners when they were young, this kind of place is warm in winter and cool in summer, there is no need to burn heating or anything like that, just burn the fire for cooking, which is commonly known as burning kang, so it is enough to heat a room.
I remember when I moved, the place where I lived at home was already sleeping with dirt ash on my face, sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night with my eyes open, and then I could fall into my eyes.
At that time, watching TV was like a luxury, I still remember that their family bought the first color TV in history in 1997, and then the TV happened to play the same version of the Journey to the West at the age of six young ages, at that time, hey, a group of children, to say the least a dozen, squatting together to watch Journey to the West, many people are more or less holding glass balls and other toys in their hands, and then when Sun Wukong was driven away by Tang Seng, more than half of them cried, and it is a little incredible to think about it until now.
"Grandpa Su, it's just you and ...... Child? β
Lin Yu looked at the place where the old man lived for a while, and then sighed.
How many years, since he moved, he has never come back here, how many years of memory, the memory that has already been precipitated in the bottom of his heart, has been turned out at this moment, Lin Yu only has a very empty feeling, he suddenly rose to his hometown to see, just along this dirt road up the last one, that's right, their family is the last one, and Grandpa Su's house is the second, belongs to the kind of road in the village that no one is cared for, except for spring and summer when planting food, everyone will take this road, in winter, no one passes by at all, Lifeless, the sound of a woodpecker, the sound of a crow, full of memories.
"Alas......" the old man sighed, and then said, "You may not know that the child died of stomach cancer at that time the year before last. β
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.
"At that time, I spent all my savings to have a major operation on him, and they all said that he could live for five or six years, and who knew that he would die suddenly? In fact, it's no wonder that others, the main thing is that the child's life is not good, and then the child's mother ran away, leaving only our grandfather and grandson, who died and died, how can people escape death. β
The old man smiled and shook his head, Lin Yu couldn't see that kind of depression from the old man's words, but a kind of old age and indifference that had read the vicissitudes of the floating world.
Lin Yu sighed.
Although most of the people in their village are surnamed Lin, there are also a small number of common forms such as Wang, Su, Li, and Liu, and Grandpa Su's family, before ninety-nine years, he and they have always been neighbors, I remember that at that time, Grandpa Su was a welder, but at that time he was still a little young, and now he ...... You're over 70 years old, right?
"Child, you eat candy quickly, and there is not much sold at home, because no one comes, and you are the first one to come in the past two years."
The old man smiled and handed over a fruit bowl.
"It's okay, that's enough." Lin Yu smiled and put a piece of candy in his mouth, and after a while, Lin Yu finally walked out of Grandpa Su's house, and after a while, he went to the place where his family lived, and after turning around, Lin Yu shook his head alone.
Moments later, he answered his mother's phone.
After another while, Lin Yu returned home.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After the snow fell on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the next week will be basically sunny and cloudless.
The weather is still as cold as ever, and in the past few days at home, Lin Yu has been staying at home except for getting up early to exercise.
Think about it before it was really a bit embarrassing, after all, what I was looking forward to at that time was the holiday, once the holiday, whether it was to explore in the mountains, or to go down to the river to fish together, set off firecrackers, or to swim in the river in the summer, etc., etc., after all, there is something to do, but since college, there were some contact with the same village playmates in high school, and now there has been no contact for a few years, this is not to say how bad the relationship is, mainly those who are not familiar with it, have been slowly faded in the bottom of their hearts, and they are left, Except for the kind that has a very strong relationship, it is nothing more than the ones who are still in a dormitory.
It's a little boring, but there are some things that must be done when I come back home, such as going to Zhao Dahai for the New Year, which is no different from sending money, don't mention it, and for example, I had a meal with Zhou Minghao, who is getting fatter and fatter, and Gao Jianguo, who seems to be suffering from gains and losses when facing graduation, and of course, there are two meetings with Ye Qingxuan, but she left on the fourth day of junior high school.
Such days lasted until the eighth ...... of the first lunar month
This year's class of 187 still has no party, Zhou Minghao wanted to say that when he organized a class party, it turned out to be a failure.
In my memory, the second meeting of Class 187 should be in 2013, of course, there may be some changes in the process, but this is just a small thing, not very important.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, he also went out for a meal with Wang Liang's kid and Li Weilin, the old veteran of Xingyu Internet Cafe, cold and hot dishes, and then before the hot dishes came up, Li Weilin was a little drunk at first, with an embarrassed expression, and the small eyes under the glasses were slightly squinted, as if he wanted to speak.
"Lin Yu, your father ......"
Li Weilin broke off, Lin Yu was stunned, looked around, and then looked at Li Weilin again.
"Hiccup~~ Your dad told me a good news some time ago......" Li Weilin burped and said with a smile, "Haven't I been working in our Internet cafΓ© for three years now?" β
Lin Yu nodded, yes, it's been three years.
It's not easy to become a network administrator in three years.
"Your father told me that if I do it for another three years, he will double my current salary of 1,050 a month." Li Weilin looked at Lin Yu with a grateful face, "It's doubled, now there is a network manager in the country who can have a high salary of mine, three thousand yuan, hahaha." β
After hearing Li Weilin say this, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and finally patted Li Weilin's shoulder and smiled slightly.
I still remember that at that time in 2002, Li Weilin was just a young man who had just graduated from a junior college, and three years had passed unconsciously, of course, not everyone in Xingyu Media's network manager could get this kind of treatment, firstly, Li Weilin was diligent in his work, and secondly, this kid gave Lin Yuanshan a very good impression, so Lin Yuanshan, the current boss, gave Li Weilin a salary increase, this is just a trivial matter, and seeing Li Weilin's expression, he actually has a feeling of nostalgia, He remembered the time when the three of them fought together in high school.
As soon as he said it, the network administrator ...... Hey, I must be looked down upon by outsiders, but if I say that the salary is 3,000, I guess many people will be envious to death. β
Li Weilin smiled and drank another half bottle of beer.
This may be Li Weilin's dream, that is, in the current situation, he just wants to do it, and then pile up qualifications in Xingyu Media, that's all.
For Li Weilin, he met a little nobleman in his fate, and that was Lin Yu.
Three years later, in 2009, for a college student who graduated from a bad street college, with a monthly salary of 3,000, he could still sit in front of the bar, just once a month, and he was tired of staying up late.
And there is a computer for him to use, the environment is already a very good place, and he can sleep at night if no one is around.
"What about the webmaster? Lin Yu, your father looks up to me and is willing to cultivate me, saying that he will give me a salary of 3,000 a month for two more years, what other ideals can I have? How can I be like you, a big boss, driving a good car, I have a dream, do it well, maybe in another ten or twenty years, my salary will be five or six thousand, we old friends can still sit together and eat like this, I listen to your business is enough, I am not a person with too high dreams, just be at ease, wait for the elderly, let my family say a family business, a very simple process, this is life. Li Weilin smiled with a flushed face.
"You better forget it, I'm almost graduating now, the whole person is more confused than you, I don't know what to do after graduation, and I broke up with my girlfriend, it's a big tragedy in life, who can have my tragedy?"
Listening to Li Weilin's drunken words, Wang Liang sighed, but soon Li Weilin put a hand on his shoulder and said with a wry smile.
"You kid, don't be miserable with me here, you have at least touched a girl's hand, since I grew up so much, except for holding hands with the two stupid girls in the family when I was a child, I haven't touched a girl's hand, not to mention what else is your kid, I don't envy me more than you!?"
Li Weilin said drunkenly.
"What's that?"
"That's it, don't pretend, don't be afraid of your jokes, I'm still an old virgin!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After a meal, Lin Yu drank a lot of beer, rode back to his home, blew a lot along the way, and quickly sobered up.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On the day of the 8th, Lin Yu sat in the car.
In the co-pilot was his cheap relative Wang Dong, and outside the car, there was his father Lin Yuanshan and mother Qin Xiulan, as well as the reluctant Xiaoxi next to him.
"Okay, let's go back, brother will come back in a while."
Lin Yu smiled slightly.
"Kid, wait."
Lin Yuanshan hurriedly walked in as if he suddenly remembered something.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he saw his father holding a firecracker, and then said with a smile: "You go far away, this is a must." β
Lin Yu also smiled and didn't speak.
After a while, Lin Yu pinched Xiaoxi's face, and then drove to the front.
It's a new year......
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed, and after sighing, he immediately started singing. (To be continued.) )
