[648] Blind date
"Then you're sending it?"
"It's been posted."
"Can that be considered a blessing?"
"Busy."
"I'm curious how much money you have?"
Lin Xuan had just gotten in the car when he received Jiang Yingxue's message, and he didn't receive a reply until he got out of the car, so he naturally didn't feel disappointed, but breathed a sigh of relief - swearing with the dignity of a man, this has nothing to do with the mobile phone in Xiao Nizi's hands, Lin Xuan mainly thinks that people are people who want to inherit tens of billions of family property, time is precious, and it is a pity to waste it on himself.
The person who drove to pick him up was Uncle Lin Zhi, who had just returned to his hometown during the summer vacation, so this goodbye was not as unfamiliar as it was then, and asked some questions and answers about Lin Xuan's two things at school along the way, and naturally Lin Xuan took a break from school to play games, Lin Yi complained for a while and praised for a while, first pushing out the responsibility of his son not going to school well, and then showing off his current achievements.
After the car entered the village, it was inevitable that they would meet one or two acquaintances every few steps, and Lin Yi and Lin Zhi both rolled down the windows to say hello, so Lin Xuan's cover of "The World" by Xiao Nizi, which Lin Xuan had just played in the car, also drifted out.
"There are not necessarily beautiful skies after the storm"
"If it's not a sunny day, there must be a rainbow"
"So just because you're innocent doesn't mean you're ignorant"
"Not all relationships have a beginning and an end"
β¦β¦
The car stopped in front of the old courtyard where the two old people lived, which was the place where Lin Yi and Fang Jingyue got married and carried the first memories of Lin Xuan's life. Over the years, there has been almost no repair, it looks a little dilapidated, but it is better than spacious, grandma will plant a few ridges of melons, fruits and vegetables in the courtyard every year, at this time in the cold winter, everything withers, the courtyard door is wide open, and there is no lush and lush summer time, a group of gloom.
As soon as the car leaned in halfway in, he heard Xiao Lin Xin shouting: "Here, grandpa!" My dad is back with Da and Sister Asa, they-"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest Bo Lin Yong took his son Lin Jin to his hometown to pay New Year's greetings as in previous years, and at this time it was close to noon, and he had already gone to each family to pay his respects, but the people were not here, because the same generation in the clan would have a guest every year on the first day of the new year, Lin Zhi went to pick up people, but Lin Yong had already been invited to the family of the clan brother who should be a guest this year. Lin Jin was chatting with her grandfather in the house, and when she heard Lin Xin's shout, she hurriedly greeted her.
The aunt and grandmother who were cooking in the kitchen also came out one after another, and after a few words of greeting, Jiang Ya went to help cook, Lin Zhi and Lin Yi were also urged to drink by phone, Lin Xuan and Xiao Nizi sat in the room and chatted with the old man and cousin, just like the situation when he just said goodbye to his uncle Lin Zhi, this time, whether it is the old man or his cousin Lin Jin, when they get along again, they will be more enthusiastic and familiar than during the summer vacation, and they will be less rusty and embarrassed.
The last time I came, it was the height of summer, and the temperature difference between Yicheng and his hometown was limited, but not in winter, especially Lin Xuan and they came from Rongcheng, and people wearing only one coat could be seen everywhere on the street, and when they arrived in their hometown, the temperature was as low as minus ten degrees - Lin Xuan had always felt quite embarrassed in his hometown, because it was not as cold as it was from here to the south, and there was heating from here to the north, so he was stuck in the middle and was not embarrassed to freeze to death.
Lin Xuan wrapped himself in a down jacket, and after sitting for a while, he still felt that his feet were cold, so he got up and walked a few steps into the courtyard, and looked at the Spring Festival couplets posted everywhere by the way. Nowadays, no matter what the customs are all over the country, they basically buy Spring Festival couplets, and the same is true of Lin Xuan's hometown, but his own family has always been written by Da Bo Lin Yong, and even many acquaintances in the town are looking for him to write.
Lin Xuan couldn't see whether the calligraphy was good or bad, he only read the content, and saw that most of them were auspicious words, and there was nothing new, so he didn't look at it much, so he called Xiao Nizi to go into the kitchen to help light the fire - he was responsible for adding firewood to make the fire, Xiao Nizi was responsible for handing over firewood to roast the fire, and cooperated tacitly, and from time to time he interjected a sentence or two when his mother was gossiping with his aunt and grandmother.
It didn't take long for Lin Jin to come in, seeing that the space inside was really limited, he said a few words, and went back to the house to accompany his grandfather, Xiao Lin Xin came to string two times every once in a while, Lin Yan ran around early in the morning with children of the same age who were familiar with the village, fully enjoyed the festive joy, and also created a festive atmosphere for others, only then came back with a palm that was frozen like pig's trotters, and greeted Lin Xuan with snot, and before he finished speaking, he was scolded by his aunt.
Jiang Ya smiled and gave Lin Yan two sentences, but it caused her aunt to complain more, saying that Lin Yan was neither serious nor obedient and sensible, and she didn't know who she had learned from recently, and she couldn't change it no matter how she scolded, Jiang Ya smiled and persuaded Lin Xuan, and scolded Lin Xuan again, asking him to add less firewood.
The fire has already burned, sitting in front of the stove is very comfortable, Lin Xuan replied to some classmates and friends who sent private blessings, and some will chat a few words, Jiang Qianyu leaned aside to watch, and sometimes couldn't help laughing out loud because of the content of the chat, for example, coach Zhang San said that he was urged to marry by his family, and simply told his parents that he liked men, but he didn't expect his mother to be more ruthless, saying: "Men like young, then you have to hurry up."
The aunt saw the two of them smiling happily and asked what was going on, Lin Xuan and Jiang Qianyu naturally couldn't tell her this, so they had to shut up, Lin Xuan quickly diverted the topic, and saw that the stepmother looked at her as if there was a warning, probably thinking that she was molesting Xiao Nizi, and couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
Jiang Ya's cooking skills are very good, and Lin Xuan has become accustomed to the meals she cooks over the years, but when she returned to the place where she remembered the beginning, eating the dumpling meals with a familiar taste, she felt a little strange emotion in her heart.
Jiang Qianyu was not used to eating food at home, but ate a big bowl of dumplings dipped in vinegared onions and garlic, and after eating, he hiccuped very unvividly, and others were far away and didn't notice much, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at it, Xiao Nizi rolled her eyes and spat at him, and a garlic smell came to her face. Lin Xuan lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Be careful that you will keep farting." β
Jiang Qianyu stepped on him ashamedly and angrily, and said angrily: "You just farted." β
Jiang Ya next to her glanced at the two of them, Lin Xuan and Jiang Qianyu immediately sat upright, one took the mobile phone to reply to the message, and the other continued to eat, the old man next to him looked at the family of three with a smile, and a slight smile appeared on his old face.
After eating, Xiao Nizi behaved in front of people as always, Lin Xuan held the hot water and watched her pretend to help clean up things, and then when the aunt praised her, she showed a slightly shy and sweet smile very appropriately, and there was a sense of pride in her heart that she had brought back a beautiful daughter-in-law to see her all kinds of popularity at home.
After cleaning up, the adults chatted, Lin Xuan and they had nothing to do, at Lin Jin's suggestion, plus Lin Yan, Lin Xuan and the four of them played cards, the old man is also a good card, but it is not poker, but an old card, he doesn't play poker, but he understands some, just watching with a smile on the side, Xiao Lin Xin also joined in the fun, and from time to time followed Lin Xuan behind them to help their favorite shallow sister to report the card, Lin Yan is also young after all, easy to be serious, the brother and sister almost didn't fight for this.
Auntie said that Lin Yan didn't know who to learn from at school and loved to swear, probably has been strictly ordered to rectify many times, and he didn't feel much when he was eating and chatting.
Aunt was not there, Jiang Qianyu put on a fancy that I don't know if it was my sister-in-law or cousin, Lin Yan is a horizontal character, and he would argue with his mother for a few words, but Xiao Nizi only said that I was wrong, I was wrong, but I just admitted that I was wrong, and a good deck of cards was broken in two minutes, so a sentence came out without going through the brain: "This is too many ......" and then probably reacted, and hurriedly glanced at Jiang Qianyu, and saw Jiang Qianyu glaring, and the words did not pause, so he sang directly"...... Hexagram Chained Palmβ"
A group of people almost didn't laugh like crazy.
If you have fun, you won't notice the passage of time, and half an afternoon will pass quickly, and Lin Yi will come back with the smell of wine, saying that Lin Yong and Lin Zhi are both playing cards there, and they will come back first. He obviously drank a lot of wine, and Jiang Jingbai asked Jiang Ya in a shameless style if he was a good man in the Gu family, Jiang Ya rolled her eyes and ignored him, Jiang Qianyu responded with a smile: "Yes!" β
A large family of men from the old man down, all love to play cards, Lin Yong doesn't play much on weekdays, only when he goes back to his hometown will play a few handfuls, so he knows how to cherish, until the evening comes back, the family is already cooking dinner, the sky is already dusk, he is in a hurry to go back, regardless of everyone to stay, and Lin Jin and the two people went back to the town.
When it was time to have dinner, Jiang Ya's mobile phone suddenly rang, she was in the kitchen, Jiang Qianyu took the mobile phone and sent it over, looked at the caller ID number, and her expression seemed to be a little strange, Lin Xuan waited for Jiang Ya to go out to answer the phone, and asked Xiao Nizi a little strangely: "Who called?" β
"Strange number."
Jiang Qianyu shook his head, then hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "The beginning is 001." β
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it was the international crown code of North America in the international telephone area code, indicating that the call was from North America.
Jiang Ya came back after a while, and Lin Yi asked, "Who, calling at this time?" β
Jiang Ya sat down next to him, put the mobile phone on the table very casually, and said: "A friend over there in North America said that he came to China on a business trip, and he wanted to meet and ask if he had time, but we couldn't go back for a while, so I refused." β
Lin Yi asked again: "What for?" β
"I used to be a fashion model, but then I changed careers after I heard that I divorced my husband, and I haven't been in touch much in the past few years, who knows what I'm doing now."
Jiang Ya's answer was understated, and it didn't leak, and it was very euphemistic to indicate the other party's female identity, Lin Yi didn't ask anything more, but the old man said that if there was something, he could go back first, Jiang Ya naturally said that there was no need, and this matter was revealed.
Lin Xuan and Jiang Qianyu didn't know if what Jiang Ya said was the truth, and naturally there was no way to verify this matter, so it would not be resolved for the time being.
In the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, a family of four took the train back to Yicheng, and returned to their home after a long absence in the evening.
As soon as Lin Xuan was confirmed to be a guest with Xiao Nizi, he received a call from Chen Yuan, saying that he had made an appointment with Liu Handong and Yi Shuicang to get together alone, Lin Xuan struggled for a while before making a very difficult decision, telling Xiao Nizi that she could only accompany her parents alone.
Jiang Qianyu didn't pay attention to him until he went out.
Lin Xuan wasn't worried that she would be really angry, after saying goodbye to her parents, she went out first, and Liu Handong had just been separated for a few days, Yi Shuicang and Chen Yuan hadn't seen each other for a long time, although there was nothing thrilling about playing together at the beginning, even if he published an autobiography or something in the future, it wouldn't take much space, but the revolutionary friendship was still there, and when they met again, they were still enthusiastic about each other, in addition to the topic of games, competitions and their respective current situations, Yi Shuicang and Chen Yuan mostly thought that Liu Handong was now going to SKY to play professionally, On the one hand, the development prospects are good, on the other hand, the building near the water, most of the relationship with Jiang Qianyu has some hope, and after teasing a few sentences, Liu Handong's expression was a little bitter, saying that it was all in the past, and he couldn't even see each other a few times, where can it be regarded as a building near the water.
Lin Xuan didn't speak, just raised his glass and touched him, Chen Yuan and Yi Shuicang saw that the momentum didn't seem to be quite right, so they followed the toast and diverted the topic.
As soon as the wine was drunk, Lin Xuan suddenly received a message from Xiao Nizi, and after seeing it, he almost couldn't help but smash the wine glass on Chen Yuan's face next to him:
"Uncle Chen said he would help me introduce me to a blind date."
