Chapter 18: A God-Given Gift
After handing in the operation report, Linlin and the nine people did not wait for Liu Feng, but were directly sent back to the military training unit, and returned to school with other classmates early the next morning. Because the students of Beijing University achieved good results in the big competition, the school gave students a three-day break to adjust and rest.
"Linlin, quick, change your shoes and eat! Your mom made your favorite dish! Pei Jiasheng knew that Linlin was going home, so he waited at the door early in the morning. And Tang Aiying went down to the kitchen early and cooked all kinds of delicacies by himself.
Linlin's heart was warm, at this time in her last life, she was still in high school, her father was laid off, her mother was suppressed by the leader, and both of them looked sad. In this life, looking at the warm and loving smiling faces of her parents, Linlin only felt that she had not lived in vain.
'Jingle bell, jingle bell......'
It was the landline at home that rang, and Linlin changed her shoes but keenly noticed that her parents' faces were a little weird. "Dad, Mommy, what's wrong? The phone rings, won't answer? β
"Hehe, no, don't pick it up, maybe it's a mistake!" Such a crappy interface seems to be something that only an honest person like Pei Jiasheng can think of. Linlin raised an eyebrow and looked at her mother.
Tang Aiying sighed, "It should be your grandfather calling." Well, maybe the tea leaves have been drunk again! β
"Again?" Lin Lin frowned, "You guys went back to the Pei family's old mansion again?" And gave them tea? Linlin couldn't help but sigh, Dad must have made another mistake with a soft heart.
Sure enough, Pei Jiasheng laughed embarrassedly twice, "Your grandmother called and said she missed me...... Your grandfather. Well, your grandmother said that your grandfather is good at this, and I see that there are still some ...... at home Only...... Hehe......"
"So how did your grandparents treat you after you sent them back?" Linlin felt that the process would definitely not be so beautiful. Grandpa is thinking about taking care of his family, and when Mom and Dad go back at this time, isn't it just with him?
Pei Jiasheng heard Linlin's question, and couldn't help but look at his wife, with apologies in his eyes. Tang Aiying didn't want Linlin to worry about it, so she said, "Let's just go and see the old lady." We just don't hear what other people say. β
In fact. Tang Aiying now dislikes the old lady more and more. The last time they went back, Liu Tang actually said something particularly hurtful, and it was a pity that Pei Jiasheng found a wife like her. Thinking of this, her face was a little gray. "In the future, I think I'd better go less. Just let your dad go and see the old lady himself. β
"IβI'm trying not to go." Pei Jiasheng is always easy to forgive others for their mistakes. It didn't take long. After a few words, the old lady obediently went back to Pei's house to visit, and packed the tea and fruits that Linlin had left behind. He admits that he still envies and yearns for family affection, but the premise is that he can't hurt his wife and daughter. This time they went back. Obviously, the wife is unhappy, and the daughter is not happy now that she knows about it.
"Dad, Mom, go back once in a while and I'm not against it. But don't forget how they see us. We are monks with our own pride, and it is absolutely not okay to be despised and manipulated by others! Linlin's words made Pei Jiasheng and Tang Aiying a little embarrassed. It is true that they often forget their status as monks. In their ordinary lives, they have never used spiritual power and spells, so they do not have the consciousness of being monks. Since entering the foundation building period, the obvious physical changes have made them have a different consciousness from ordinary people.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell......" The phone rang again.
Linlin walked over to answer, and before she could pick up the microphone and speak, there was already a harsh voice on the other side of the phone.
"The third uncle and the third aunt are long-lasting! The mobile phone was turned off, and the landline pretended not to hear it! Grandpa said, the tea is gone, hurry up and send it! It's not okay to drag on like last time! β¦β¦β
Linlin laughed angrily when she heard these words, she looked at her parents who were also ugly, and directly blocked the phone. "Mom and Dad, even if they are related by blood, we haven't gotten along with them for decades. Even if our grandparents felt some pity for us at first, we couldn't resist the interests in their hearts. Alas, I blame me for being too naΓ―ve, and at that time, I revealed our identity as a monk in order for you to gain a firm foothold in the Pei family. also naively thought that if he got rid of the entanglement of the Lin family, he would be able to find his real family...... But you remember what I said, just in case, I have done enough for the Pei family, enough for my father to repay the kindness of my grandparents. We don't owe them anything, and we don't need to do something humble to cater and please them. β
"You're talking about it!" Tang Aiying smiled, "Don't worry, we won't be stupid again in the future." I can see that family. They look down on our current identity as businessmen, and feel that they have discredited their Pei family. But they didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for us Linlin, where would their monks come from? How can the old lady and the old man be so healthy when they are in their seventies? You gave them an extra fifty years of life, which is equivalent to giving them an extra life! Not only did they pay it off, but they should still owe us! Pei Jiasheng, I tell you, if you go back to see the old lady occasionally, I won't say anything, but if you do some stupid things, my daughter and I won't forgive you! β
Pei Jiasheng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, your mother and daughter are the meat of my heart, I will listen to you!" Even the old lady is there, and I don't go much. But it's not good to go empty-handed, so I'll go to the store and buy some sea cucumber bird's nest and send it to you. β
Spend money on things to go, great idea! Anyway, they are not short of money. Linlin felt that her father finally had some eyes, but he was just slow to respond.
After the three of them had eaten together, Linlin went to the space to rest. Linlin hasn't come in this month, and the changes in the space don't seem to be much. The ingots shrunk and nested in the water and pretended to sleep, and the flowers fluttered in the bamboo forest without heart and lungs.
The jade jade in the water is more and more beautiful, and the pearls spit out by the pearl mussel spread a layer on the bottom of the water. Linlin took out some pearls and jadeite and put them in a storage bag, and the main focus of the next season of Jumbo Zhai is to focus on freshwater pearls. Freshwater pearls are actually very ordinary, but the pearls spit out by these pearls in Linlin's space are a treasure. Not only is the color beautiful, the shape is round, and the size is not small, it is definitely the only one, and there is no semicolon.
The days seemed to calm down all of a sudden. Linlin rarely took a good class in school for a while. Except for the occasional bombardment of love letters, flowers, and gifts, the other qiΔ was fine. The relationship with the Pei family has finally cooled down, and the other side finally knows that Linlin's family is not ready to compromise this time.
In a blink of an eye, it was the winter vacation, and on this day, Liu Feng, who had not moved, finally appeared in front of Linlin.
"Hello Linlin, we meet again." Liu Feng was wearing a casual suit this time, and he was no longer the tough guy image he used to be. "Why don't we find a place to sit?"
Linlin smiled and nodded, and came to a cafΓ© not far from the school with Liu Feng. After ordering two cups of coffee, Lin Lin took the lead and said, "The instructor has something to say." β
A look of appreciation flashed in Liu Feng's eyes, "I read the last action report. Several of you are very capable and are very suitable for our next mission......"
"Wait a minute," Lin Lin interrupted Liu Feng's words, "Who are the few people in your mouth?" If it was the nine people last time, then there is no need to talk about the next thing. β
"You care about the three students who left first, right?" Liu Feng smiled, sure enough, she was still a little girl, and she would be obsessed with some things. "Those three students did something wrong, but there is merit in being able to admit and confess in the action report afterwards."
The catch? Lin Lin smiled sarcastically, "In your opinion, as long as they are absolutely loyal to you, they don't care about some dirty things they do to their teammates?" Then I'm sorry, I can't afford such a teammate, your mission, I quit. β
Liu Feng looked at the girl in front of him who sternly refused, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart, and his tone was faintly threatening. "The country needs you, don't be rash because of personal grievances!"
Linlin took a slow sip of coffee, "I only know that I am not afraid of god-like opponents, and I am most afraid of pig-like teammates." The most afraid of doing things is that people are not aligned, and I have been merciful in the last wilderness survival training, if you insist that I be with them, I don't guarantee that they will come back. β
"You!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, wearing a white dress, her black hair hanging naturally behind her. Her expression was languid, and her gestures were graceful. But this girl is as simple as saying what she wants to eat at noon.
Liu Feng began to wonder if there was something missing from his investigation. At this time, he suddenly thought of the six-person team on the fourth day of wilderness survival training, and caught up with the three people who left first at a very fast speed. At that time, he also had doubts, "You are not an ordinary person?" "It's obviously a question, and it's a sure affirmative tone.
Lin Lin didn't deny it, but smiled, "So, I didn't mean to joke when I said to ask for a few lives. β
Liu Feng began to rethink his plan, "So you mean that as long as those three people don't participate, you agree to participate?" β
"It depends on what you want us to do! Now that you know who we are, you should understand that we are not something that anyone can dictate. Linlin raised her eyes and looked straight at Liu Feng. Liu Feng only felt that he was under tremendous pressure. This well-known tough guy in the barracks was in a cold sweat in an instant!
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "This mission is about 'God-given gifts.'" (To be continued......)
