Chapter 8: Father

This reputation can buy a novel with a lower word count, such as "Tianpeng Vertical" and the like.

But Lin Xiao was not in a hurry to buy it, because "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has just started now, and it can't be used if he buys it now, so he still saves the prestige value first in case of emergency.

After another few hours of coding, Lin Xiao plans to take a break, go to the group to relax, fart,, as long as he has time these days, he is crazy codeword, and now the whole book has been coded out by him, and in another ten days and half a month, the whole book will be able to be completed.

Just about to log in to TT, the mobile phone rang, Lin Xiao picked it up and saw that it was the fat man Wang Meng calling, Lin Xiao picked up the phone and asked, "Fat man, why did you remember to call me?" ”

Wang Meng's voice was a little exaggerated: "I said that the great writer, the dragon has not seen the end of the dragon in the past few days, is it that he doesn't remember his buddy when he is popular?" ”

Lin Xiao knew that Wang Meng was joking, and this guy was usually not in shape, so he smiled and said, "How is it?" This book is still appetizing, right? ”

"Isn't it just appetizing?" Wang Meng said excitedly: "It's just unstoppable!" It's really hard, I said, is the fat man Wang Kaixuan in your book based on me? ”

"Come on!" Lin Xiao quipped: "You are good enough to YY, but your personalities are a bit similar." ”

Wang Meng said proudly: "How is it?" Or is it your buddy's inspiration for your creation? Come on, your book is going to be popular, do you have to show it? ”

"A must! Find a time in the past two days, let's go out for a good meal. Lin laughed.

In fact, Lin Xiao took the manuscript fee and thought of inviting everyone to rub it off, after all, when he was in difficulty, these guys supported him unreservedly, they were all good buddies, and now that they have money, of course they have to treat everyone.

"Hey! Is there a saved manuscript, take it to see it first, I really can't hold it! At this time, there was a shout on the phone, and the voice was from the sea.

"Tell Yu Dahai, I'll go over tomorrow morning and bring him the manuscript, you can have a good time reading it now, nearly 400,000 words."

"Interesting!" Wang Fatzi said: "Don't worry, full subscription is indispensable when it is put on the shelves." ”

hung up the phone, Lin Xiao logged in to TT, and as soon as he joined the group, Xueluo sent a message: "I said Fuyao God, these days it is really a simple life, it seems that the author who becomes a god will become a diving party, this sentence is really true." ”

Lin Xiao replied: "Don't make fun of me, even if I succeed, I will go out of our group, we are friends in trouble, don't fix those useless." ”

"Hehe, do you want to give me a chapter push?" Xueluo smiled shamelessly.

"A must!" Lin Xiao replied briskly: "The brothers in the group need to be recommended, and we are duty-bound!" ”

Hearing this, N authors suddenly emerged in the group, shouting long live, while sending out the link to their work, Lin Xiao asked Xueluo to sort it out on his behalf, and then recommended one per chapter, queue up to recommend.

After talking in the group for a while, Lin Xiao began to code words again.

The next morning, there was a class, not a main class, or some study summary and other seminars, the class time was not very long, the class ended early, there was no class in the afternoon, and I went to pick up my father at noon.

After leaving the school gate, Lin Xiao took a taxi and went straight to the train station.

When he arrived at the train station, it was only eleven o'clock, Lin Xiao checked his father's train number, and there was still half an hour to arrive at the station, so he waited at the exit.

Sometimes time flies quickly, that is waiting for someone you don't want to meet, sometimes time passes very slowly, that is waiting for someone you miss very much, Lin Xiao is the latter now, half an hour seems to him as if half a day has passed, and finally the whistle of the train arriving at the station remembers, Lin Xiao's heart is finally stable.

The father soon walked out of the station, carrying a gray woven bag in his hand, still the same emaciated, with a slightly hunched back, and a swarthy face with sharp edges and corners, like a rock carved by a knife, and between his eyebrows he was still the same as before, always with a faint sorrow.

Looking at his father, whose temples were already gray, Lin Xiao's nose was sour, his eyes were a little red, and he tried to stabilize his mood, Lin Xiao beckoned to his father and said, "Dad!" Over here! ”

When Father Lin heard the shout, he immediately found Lin Xiao, and his face, which was originally slightly melancholy, immediately bloomed with a knowing smile, his smile started from the corner of his mouth, spread little by little, and finally until the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles.

"Xiaoxiao, have you been waiting for a long time?" Father Lin walked out and said with a faint smile.

Lin Xiao hurriedly took the woven bag in his father's hand and said, "Dad, I didn't wait long, I came after class, and I just arrived, let's go out and have some food." With that, Lin Xiao took his father's hand and walked out of the station.

"You can just eat some yourself, I just ate it in the car." Father Lin said.

Lin Xiao's body shook slightly, of course he knew what his father had eaten in the car. It's nothing more than a piece of cold steamed bun and cold water, and I didn't say much at the moment, so I pulled my father and went straight to the small restaurant outside the station.

The price of things at the train station is usually more expensive than other places, but Lin Xiao doesn't care now, he just wants his father to eat hot.

After entering the small restaurant, Lin Xiao and his son sat down, and the waiter immediately came over, handed over the menu, and waited for Lin Xiao to order.

Lin Xiao didn't let his father order, but took over the menu by himself and ordered two dishes, one fish-flavored shredded pork and one mushu meat, two dishes were enough for them to eat, if they ordered more, it was estimated that his father would not be able to eat this meal well.

Father Lin glanced at the menu, and after the waiter left, Father Lin said in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, the dishes here are too expensive, and the money for us to eat these two dishes is enough for our family to eat for three or five days." ”

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Dad, don't worry, you finally came out once, I have to let you eat enough, don't think so much, besides, I'm okay now, I earn a lot, in the future, you and your mother will do less work, and I will support you." ”

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Father Lin smiled again, this was a relieved smile: "Alas, you still have to save a little, I know you are sensible, since you came here to go to school, you have earned your tuition and living expenses by yourself, and your mother and I are upset." ”

Lin Xiao took out the bank card in his pocket, put it in front of Lin's father, and said: "Dad, I mean seriously, there are 43,000 yuan in this card, you take it back, return all the famine of our family, and you and your mother keep the rest and spend it slowly, usually eat more good food, look at your thinness, what should I do if I fall ill like this, you are the pillar of our family." Lin Xiao opened another card before coming to the station, took out 7,000 for his own use, and after a while, he was going to buy clothes and gifts for his parents and sister, as well as his own computer, so he set aside some for backup.

Lin Xiao lowered his head and sucked boiled water, he didn't dare to look at his father, he was a person with delicate feelings but didn't know how to express them, he had never said such things in front of his parents, first, he didn't have that ability before, and second, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his feelings and would cry.

When Father Lin heard Lin Xiao's words, he hurriedly covered his bank card and said in a trembling voice: "Laugh and laugh!" You can't go down the road, where did you get so much money? ”

Lin Xiao heard that his father had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Dad, where do you want to go, don't you know who I am?" Don't worry, this money is clean, and I earned it myself. ”

So Lin Xiao told his father about writing a book, and Lin's father was very happy to hear that his son was so capable, and his old face was full of joy, and the wrinkles on his face were displayed, which made Lin Xiao feel sad.

"Actually, this time, I originally wanted to find some work here." Father Lin finally said the purpose of his trip: "The family is not good this year, the harvest is less than half of last year, everyone is not happy, people don't say the money they owe, they don't come to ask for it, but your mother and I feel sorry for it after all, so I want to come out and do some hard work, earn some money to go back to the villagers, and originally planned to let Huanhuan drop out of school and go home, this time I came to think about it and discuss it with you, Huanhuan's girl cried all night." ”

"Huanhuan can't drop out of school, he must study!" When Lin Xiao heard the news, he immediately said anxiously.

Father Lin smiled embarrassedly and said: "I had that idea before, but now that you give me so much money, our family is not short of money, of course Huanhuan has to continue to study, and only by studying can he be productive, Huanhuan is as sensible as you, and your mother and I are also distressed." ”

Lin Xiao was relieved and said: "You don't have to come out to work, go home honestly and farm some land, do what you like, rest when you are tired, I will support you in the future, and I will provide my sister with education." ”

Father Lin waved his hand and said: "I have done farm work all my life, and I really don't want to leave that land, since I say so, then I will leave tonight, I am not used to staying here, go home and return the money quickly, pay your sister's tuition, I also have a thought." ”

Lin Xiao didn't force his father to stay here for a few days, he knew his father, a lifelong peasant came to the city, of course he wouldn't get used to it, it was simply a crime.

"You don't want to lose yourself too much when you're out there alone, you know?"

Lin Xiao just nodded, and lowered his head to pick up rice in his mouth, the softest part of his heart had been touched many times today, he really didn't dare to look up and look at his father's wrinkled but great face.

After eating, Lin Xiao took his father to a nearby shopping mall, ready to buy some things for his father to take back, Lin's father did not object to Lin Xiao's surprise this time, it seems that he doesn't want to refuse Lin Xiao's filial piety.

First, I bought a set of fairy tale books for my sister in the bookstore on the first floor of the shopping mall, and then bought a set of extracurricular reading materials, a set of world classics, which filled a half-large box, and the books were very heavy, but Lin Xiao was very easy to carry in his hands, he knew that when his sister saw these books, she would definitely jump up happily, thinking of these, he didn't feel heavy, what he was carrying was his sister's happiness, how could happiness be heavy?

After buying the book, Lin Xiao first put the packed books at the front desk for storage, and then took his father to the men's clothing area on the second floor to buy clothes.

His dress and temperament seemed so out of place with everything around him that he couldn't even walk a little aisle, and his legs were as heavy as lead.

"Xiaoxiao, I think forget it, your mother and I are not short of clothes, and besides, how expensive things are here, can't I go back to the town with your mother to buy them? When the time comes, take Huanhuan and buy a few more. Father Lin looked at Lin and said with a smile.

Lin Xiao took his father's hand and said with a smile: "Dad, since you're here, don't think too much, the things here are not too expensive, besides, coming here is to buy a fresh one, and we don't have that place in our house." ”

"However, Dad thinks that others look at me differently, and I am afraid of embarrassing you......" Father Lin said with a chatter.

Without waiting for Father Lin to finish speaking, Lin Xiao immediately rushed and said, "Dad!" I don't care what others think of you, you're my dad! My dad has never disgraced me, and he will never disgrace me! On the contrary, I think you are my greatest pride, you are an upright person, and you are my father! What do I care what they think? It doesn't matter what they think! ”

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's anxious appearance, listening to Lin Xiao's heartfelt words, Lin's father laughed again, he hadn't laughed so much this year today, he smiled so happily, today, the son in front of him gave him too many surprises, and he finally understood that his son had grown up.

Father Lin didn't say much, just gently patted Lin Xiao's hand holding his arm, and then turned his head, his eyes were already a little red, but his heart was sweet.

Lin Xiao pulled his father to the elevator, the mobile elevator of the shopping mall was running silently, people came and went, there were up and down, there were walking stairs in the middle, and there were elevators on both sides, and Lin's father stood in front of the elevator and did not move.

"Dad, let's go." Lin Xiao said softly.

"Xiaoxiao, I'll take the stairs, you can take the elevator by yourself." Father Lin whispered.

Lin Xiao looked at his father with a smile and said, "Dad, how easy it is to take the elevator, it's fast, what stairs to climb." ”

"I like to walk, I haven't sat in the elevator yet, so I'm a little uncomfortable." Father Lin said with a little dodge in his eyes.

Lin smiled even more: "I haven't sat down and done it once, it's fresh." With that, he pulled his father up the elevator.

Father Lin couldn't be stubborn, so he had to follow Lin Xiao to step onto the elevator, and when the elevator was halfway through, Father Lin suddenly whispered: "Xiaoxiao, this elevator ...... How much does it cost to sit once? ”

Hearing his father's words, the smile on Lin Xiao's face suddenly froze, and the whole person was like an electric shock, and he quickly turned his head, and tears flowed uncontrollably anymore.

(This chapter, written very long, in fact, a lot of nonsense, there is no substance, to put it bluntly, it is a little water, but I didn't pause when I wrote, it's not an exaggeration to say that it was done in one go, but it's off topic, after this chapter is written, my eyes are also red, so I don't plan to streamline it, I think that although this chapter has nothing to do with this book, I'm still ready to send it out word for word, father, what a great word, I feel deeply, as parents, they can say that they have done everything for their children, I tried my best, but as children, can we understand? Can you feel it? All I want to say is to treat your parents well, because they really love us. My parents have done a lot for me, and I also have a younger sister who I want to say, "I love you guys!" ”。 It's probably just this chapter today, and I'll see how much I can code up when the time comes, after all, this chapter is quite long...... Sorry guys. )
