Chapter 5: A Wonderful Son
The sky is slightly bright, the window is already silvery, and the window is even more icy flowers, reflecting the plain white world is picturesque.
Lin Cang got up and finally glanced at the entire room, then turned to leave, clicked, and locked the door.
After casually coping with the breakfast stall on the side of the road, Lin Cang put his hands in his pockets and wandered in this city that was gradually becoming stranger.
Seven years ago, Nanyang was far from being so prosperous, in recent years, because Nanyang and Haicheng established an economic cooperation zone, the whole city has undergone planning and building, and now Nanyang is already a collection of foreign trade, transportation, tourism and shopping in one of the window cities, and Nanyang's housing prices are rolling upward.
Pacing like this, I don't know how long it took, Lin Cang suddenly realized that he was already standing in front of the community gate of Juxian Community.
Juxian Community, this is a set of relocation buildings, where my father and Aunt Xie's family live, Lin Cang knows but has never been.
Glancing at my watch, I realized it was nine o'clock in the morning.
At this time, it was already close to the New Year, and the pedestrians on the road were beaming, Lin Cang smiled, turned around and walked to the supermarket on the side, and chose a few gifts at random, and then walked into the Juxian community.
"Uncle, do you know where Lin Weiguo lives?"
Seeing the old man who got up early to exercise, Lin Cang stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Defend the country? He lives in Building 12 2102, who are you? β
The old man turned off the radio, then looked at Lin Cang curiously and asked.
"Lin Cang, Lin Weiguo is my father."
Lin Cang smiled, put down the gift in his hand, then took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it out, and then stuffed the pack of cigarettes into the old man's pocket.
The old man was happy: "I didn't hear that Wei Guo has such a big son, your kid is better than your father, your father is a stuffy gourd, and he can't make a fart with eight poles......"
Lin Cang laughed when he heard this, then nodded and said, "I went to school abroad before, and it's the first time I've come hereβ"
"Okay, let's go up quickly, it's so cold outside, I have time to come to the house for dinner-"
The old man waved his hand, Lin Cang nodded, picked up the shopping bag and walked towards Building 12.
ββ
"Ding-dong."
The door sounded, Lin Weiguo sat on the sofa and watched TV, turned off the sound of the TV when he heard the sound, and then said without looking back: "Xie Lan, someone is coming, go open the door-"
"Don't see me touch my hands, you, smoke less, this is choking."
Xie Lan shook the flour off his hand, then walked to the door and opened the door.
I was stunned all of a sudden.
"Auntie."
Lin Cang didn't enter the door, just smiled, called at the woman in front of the door with mottled hair, and nodded lightly.
"Kobayashi?"
Xie Lan's eyes widened in disbelief, so much so that his voice trembled a little, looking at the young man in front of him who had suddenly arrived.
Taller, more than 180 big people are extremely tall, handsome face obviously inherits the advantages of the old wife, a pair of thick eyebrows with a little softness, clear and quiet eyes, fine hair with that extremely tall figure, giving people the only impression is handsome.
Lin Cang nodded when he heard this.
"Come in, come in, it's cold outside-"
Xie Lan hurriedly welcomed Lin Cang into the door, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and patted Lin Cang's clothes, and his hands were full of moisture.
Lin Weiguo had already stood up, looked at his son who was standing in front of the door, his lips switched a few times, but he couldn't speak, and nodded after a long time.
"Coming back? It's good to come back, it's good to come backβ"
"Dad."
Lin Cang nodded to Lin Weiguo, and then laughed.
There is no need to explain, and there is no need to explain, Lin Cangken has already shown his attitude when he comes to the door.
"Xiaolin, have you eaten? Auntie is making dumplings, you drink saliva first, I'll cook it right away, your dad and Xiaomeng this girl has been thinking about you, this girl has just been on vacation, and she went to play with her classmates early in the morning, you wait, I'll call her and ask her to come back quickly-"
Xie Lan was obviously very excited, chattering, and hurriedly walked to the landline and dialed the phone.
"Aunt Xie, don't bother, I just had breakfast downstairs, and Xiaomeng is finally on vacation, let her go play-"
Lin Cang waved his hand, and then said.
"How's that going to work? Is it more important to play or is it important for her brother? β
Xie Lan whispered, and then still dialed the phone.
"Just came back?"
Lin Weiguo was a little wooden, facing this son who had not seen him for nearly ten years in the Cold War, he really didn't know what to say, he just reached out and pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table, and motioned Lin Cang to peel oranges.
"Well, I'll be back after graduation."
Lin Cang nodded, and then said.
"How's it going?"
Lin Weiguo looked at his son, he hadn't seen him for a few years, his son was more than half a head taller than himself, and his handsome and upright appearance was more of a follower, and his every move revealed an indescribable calmness, which made people happy and proud in their hearts.
"I've got my degree."
Lin Cang nodded, paused, and then took out a few certificates from a handbag he carried and handed them over.
Seeing this, Lin Weiguo hurriedly picked up the glasses on the coffee table and put them on, opened the certificate and looked at it seriously.
The certificate was all in English, and he couldn't read it, so he could only recognize the pinyin abbreviation of Cang-Lin.
"This is a Ph.D. certificate in bioengineering from the University of Newfoundland at St. John's."
Lin Cang smiled, then pointed to another certificate and said, "That is a master's certificate from the Department of Finance." β
"There are also a few award certificates, which are all award certificates for some of my hobbies when they participate in the competition."
Lin Cang touched an orange, then peeled it and handed it to his father in half, Lin Weiguo took it with some trembling, he was surprised enough when his son suddenly came to the door today, especially when he saw that his son was now out of breath, it seemed that he was planning to accept this new family, Lin Weiguo only felt that he could no longer express his inner excitement.
"How can you get two degrees at such a young age?"
Lin Weiguo pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then looked at Lin Cangdao.
My son is only 24 this year, like those double-degree doctoral students, which one is not in his thirties?
"I completed a project in school, which was very important, and then I was valued by a professor, and I did research for a few years, and I got a degree through relationships, but as for the degree in finance, it was not a backdoor."
Lin Cang said concisely that his information in the real world has been modified, and he is not afraid of anyone querying it.
Lin Weiguo's lips moved when he heard this, he looked at it carefully, and then suddenly shouted: "Xie Lan, Xie Lan, come out." β
Xie Lan hurriedly walked out when he heard this, Lin Weiguo handed the certificate to his wife, and then said, "Look, this is Lin Cang's degree certificate, a doctorate, a master's degree...... And a bunch of certificates. β
Seeing this, Xie Lan hurriedly wiped his hands on the apron, and then took the certificate and looked at it again, amazed in his heart, but couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
These identities are too eye-catching, and the certificates are full of English letters, which makes people suspicious.
Lin Cang smiled, paused, and then took out another paper bag in his handbag, poured out the paper bag, and it was ten stacks of red hundred-yuan bills.
"Xiaolin, where did you get so much money?"
Xie Lan was taken aback when he saw this, although the price and consumption level in Nanyang are very high now, but the average per capita income is only five or six thousand yuan a month, and 100,000 yuan is not a small amount.
"In the past few years, I have paid tuition and living expenses, and there is still a surplus."
After a pause, Lin Cang pushed the cash forward and motioned for Xie Lan to put it away.
"No, no, you just came back now, it's time to use the money, you still keep it yourself, our family is not short of money......"
Seeing this cash, Xie Lan didn't doubt his stepson's education, and hurriedly shirked it.
"You take it, count me as filial, otherwise I feel uncomfortable, in addition to the money, I followed the teacher to do a few projects, the teacher is very generous, and I also made a few years of investment with a few classmates in the school, and I made a lot of money, and it was more than enough to buy a few housesββ"
Lin Cang didn't hide it, sooner or later the matter of his money would be exposed, instead of explaining it at that time, it was better to show it as soon as possible, and he hadn't dealt with this Aunt Xie, so as not to have any thoughts in her heart.
Xie Lan screamed when he heard this, obviously even more surprised by this son's excellence.
"I'll take what my son gives, he's getting older, when he gets married, let's just fill in a little more-"
Lin Weiguo waved his hand, and then said to his wife.
When Xie Lan heard this, he carefully put away the banknotes on the table, and then said to Lin Cang: "Xiaomeng is coming, I just ordered dumplings, Xiaolin, do you drink?" I'll ask your sister to give you some? β
"I don't drink."
Lin Cang shook his head, and then said.
"It's better not to drink, it's better not to drink, like your dad, I can't quit until now-"
Xie Lan walked into the kitchen as she chattered, and Lin Cang and his father had nothing to say for a while.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time before Lin Weiguo said to his son, "What are your plans to come back?" Do you have a job? β
"I just came back two days ago, and I haven't looked for it yet, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm not short of money, Nanyang has changed too much, and I'm still a little uncomfortable, so let's just do it for now, and I'll talk about it in a few days-"
Lin Cang smiled, and then said.
The son's excellence was completely beyond Lin Weiguo's expectations, so he didn't dissuade him, paused, and then said, "You won't leave when you come back, right?" In a moment, let Aunt Xie clean up the house for you, and add some more bedding or something-"
Lin Cang was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said.
"Don't bother, I'll buy a house in two days-"
Seeing that his father was a little anxious, Lin Cang was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'm still too unfamiliar with this home, I'm not used to it, I'm afraid Aunt Xie and Xiaomeng are not comfortable, so be it-"
"Then what's the matter, you can never go back to this home for the rest of your life?"
Lin Weiguo said anxiously and continued: "The first few days may be awkward, but live a life, the days are all passed, and it won't take a few days?" β
"Let's talk about that."
Lin Cang smiled and waved his hand, and continued: "I don't have any resistance now, I was young and ignorant back then, but now I have figured it out, no matter what you say, you are my father, this is something that no one can change, Aunt Xie I don't know much, but I will try my best to correct my position, but I really can't call my mother, what about Xiaomeng, I have met once, I try to be a good brother, as for the rest-"
"Let it beβ"
Lin Cang said with a smile, Lin Weiguo on the side just wanted to speak, but the door opened coldly, and then several girls rushed in with a chatter.
The leader was a girl about twenty years old, with better skin than snow, bright eyes, a pair of knitted woolen hats on her head, and thick Mickey gloves on her hands, and she looked at Lin Cang as soon as she entered the door.
Unexpectedly, the girl's gaze at Lin Cang was not only a trace of surprise, but also a trace of disgust-
