Act I: The Present Life Chapter 39: The Nose Is Long
Although Lingyi didn't know how painful this kind of pain was, she still had a general understanding of the origin of life in the first lecture in her biology class, but she still deeply remembered that Jingjing had said that she had left a lot of blood.
Although Ling Yi never dared to ask for verification, she could sense Yi Ting's pain.
Somehow, Yiting didn't cry, but Lingyi cried, and kept muttering: "Why is it all like this?" Why are adults handsome to children, and let children bear this, what a TMD bastard. Maybe it was too resentful, Ling Yi took the Coke cup and slammed it on the table, the drink came out and sprinkled it on the table, and Ling Yi Yiting hurriedly took the paper to wipe the table.
The hamburger boy squinted at Ling Yi and Yi Ting, his face seemed to be solemn, and he stopped talking.
At this moment, it is the condensation of the air, a temporary pause.
Lingyi seems to be relying on his brain to make up for it, and he can imagine the terrifying face of that demon stepfather. Not even such a child.
"What should I do then?" Lingyi asked.
"I may need to find a job to support myself, my grandmother's house can't go back, and most importantly, I can't let that bad guy find me." Yiting said.
"But you are so young, you are child labor, child labor is illegal, where can you find a job?" Lingyi asked.
"I don't know," a shadow swept over Yiting's face.
This is a huge problem, Ling looked at the job advertisement in the store, and the age column clearly stated that he was over 18 years old, and college students were preferred.
The two of them are so far away from the university!
Neither of them knew what to do, and for a 12-year-old, the question of where to find a job to support himself seemed unsolvable.
In the imperial capital, they don't know which unit or company dares to hire a 12-year-old child laborer, which is the imperial capital of a civilized society.
However, even if he finds a company that dares to take in child laborers, what exactly does the employer do? Is his industry regular, and are these people good people in the traditional sense?
"Okay, let's not talk about supporting ourselves, let's finish the meal first." Reichi comforted.
"Hmm!" Yiting nodded.
It seemed to be an interlude between the meals, and looking at the food, the two returned to a state of joy.
Lingyi ate very slowly, Yiting returned to gobbling up, and Lingyi even added another glass of Coke to Yiting, so that she could eat and drink as much as she wanted.
It wasn't until Yiting put the last bite of the sundae in her mouth and swallowed it that she felt that her stomach was too strong to eat anymore.
"Alright, I'm full." Yiting picked up the napkin and rubbed her mouth and said.
"Let's rest first, I'm afraid you're very tired this day." Lingyi said.
"Well, it's okay, seeing you, I'm not tired after eating so much delicious food." Yiting smiled.
At this time, the sky outside was getting dark.
"Here's this." Reichi opens the cartoon idol that was given away.
It's a Monkey King with a golden hoop stick.
"No, you see I'm carrying this!" Yi Ting smiled and took out a doll from her pocket.
That's really the blind box koi that Lingyi gave her.
Somehow, Ling's eyes seemed to be a little red.
"You still have this, this one is old, and this new one will be given to you." Lingyi said.
"No, I like this very much, you said that this koi blind box will bring me good luck, this is my good luck, I will always take her." Yiting said seriously.
"If you like it, you'll have good luck." Ling Yi took Yi Ting's hand and shook it vigorously.
"Yes, it will!" Yiting also affirmed.
"It's getting dark," Yiting then reminded.
Lingyi looked outside, and sure enough, it was already dark.
Lingyi turned on the phone and looked at it again, "No, mom is coming back from work." I don't have any after-school classes in the evenings, but my mom has to supervise my homework, so I have to go home first......"
Yiting nodded.
"Where did you stay that night?" Lingyi questioned.
"I ...... I don't know ......," Yiting replied.
Ling Yi's mind quickly turned how to arrange Yi Ting couldn't tell her mother and didn't let her go home, I'm afraid she could only let her stay in a hotel.
"Well, why don't you wait for me here first, I'll go home and do my homework first, and wait for my mother to come back. I'll see if I can get my mother's credit card, and when the time comes, I'll find an excuse to go downstairs, and we'll go to the hotel. Lingyi arranged.
"Uh-huh! Are you troublesome......" Yiting whispered.
"It's okay...... I'm a clever spirit. Ling Yi smiled.
Immediately took out a must-read book "Insects" from his schoolbag and handed it to Yi Ting, "You read this first, don't pay attention to the person you talk to, especially that person." ”
"Burger boy?" Yiting asked.
"It's also a hamburger boy, I think he's a gangster and not a good person, don't pay attention to him, don't reveal your information, this is what my mother said, protect yourself outside, especially at night!" Lingyi instructed.
At this moment, Lingyi seems to have turned into a heartbroken old mother, and she doesn't want anything bad to happen to Yiting again.
Lingyi quickly zipped up his schoolbag, counted the time when his mother would come home, and walked towards the door.
Yi Ting in the store opened the book and read it carefully.
Lingyi finally ran home five minutes early according to his mother's normal time.
Spread out the homework books and pretend to do your homework there. Ling looked at the door from time to time, pricking up his ears to listen to the sound of his mother coming back.
It had been almost half an hour longer than usual, and Ling Yi looked at the door again, and there was no sign of his mother coming back.
She simply walked into her mother's bedroom, rummaged through the cabinets, and she remembered that her mother had told her that there was a card that was dedicated to the cost of studying for Lingyi.
Even if all the cards in the family are out of money, and the money on this card cannot be touched at all, then there must be money on this card that can be launched.
Finally rummaged through the innermost drawer, Ling Yi opened the drawer, searched carefully one by one, and finally found this card at the bottom of a dressing box. There was a note pasted on the back of the card, clearly saying Lingyi Education, and the word birthday.
Lingyi was very happy when he got the card, thinking that with this one, he could give Yiting a hotel to live in.
And my mother's IQ is really worried, and she writes the word birthday, isn't this just the password to tell the card.
Sometimes Lingyi feels that his mother still treats herself as a child, and there are often traces of rubbing her IQ on the ground.
Now that I'm in junior high school, every morning when I get up, my mother still plays the wake-up song that only three-year-old babies need. She has said many times that her IQ is rubbed, but her mother still uses this song as a wake-up alarm every morning.
Lingyi was speechless, helpless and embarrassed.
Suddenly, Lingyi's phone watch remembered.
One by one, the spirits hurriedly ran back to the bedroom to answer the phone.
"Lingyi, have you arrived home, how did you do your homework?" Mom's opening remarks are never changed.
If Ling is a little impatient in the morning, maybe his heart is weak, and his attitude today is extraordinarily respectful.
"Hello Mom, I'm at home and I'm doing my homework." Lingyi worked hard to play the image of a good girl.
Xiao Qi heard Ling Yi's kind words, moved the phone slightly, looked at the phone, and said in his heart, "What's wrong today, why are you so polite?" "It feels a little weird.
After a pause, Xiao Qi continued: "Lingyi, are you okay?" ”
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm doing my homework seriously, Mom, I'm waiting for you to come back." Lingyi's standard textbook-like answer seemed to be watertight.
"How are you at school today?" Xiao Qi asked suspiciously.
"Very good, Mom, everything is fine at school today." Lingyi replied standardly.
Xiao Qi heard it, didn't hear her complaints, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, but then thought that maybe the child had grown up and sensible, "Lingyi, I'm sorry, that unit has an urgent matter temporarily, and it will take two or three days to inform me that I will go on a business trip." I can't come back at night, you take care of yourself, there are all kinds of fast food in the fridge, you remember to eat in the microwave and heat it up. Also, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will eat in the school cafeteria and then come home. ”
"Mom, isn't your job a business trip?" Lingyi asked suspiciously.
Of course, the most important reason why Xiaoqi took a fancy to this job at that time was not to travel, so that she could take care of Lingyi every day.
"Hey! The colleague who was on a business trip had recently fallen ill and had undergone surgery. This is not his job fell on me, the project he was with before asked to go over, so my mother wanted to go to Chengdu. In this way, I will call you on WeChat, you turn on the camera, and I will tell you how to make dinner. By the way, your phone is in the second drawer under the bookshelf in the living room......" Xiaoqi pointed out.
"Okay mom, can you ......wait a minute" Lingyi was also a little anxious, quickly hung up the phone watch, and her phone came back by itself and forgot to put it back.
Lingyi quickly ran back to the bedroom and took out the mobile phone from the schoolbag, and quickly walked to the living room, only to find that the battery of the mobile phone was only 2/100, and she quickly found the charger everywhere. By the time she found the charger, her phone had been ringing for a long time, and her phone had already turned off as soon as she pressed the answer button.
Lingyi quickly dialed his mother when the phone could be turned on, and at this time, Lingyi was already sweaty on his nose in a hurry, for fear that his mother would find out that he had lied.
She clearly remembers that when she was a child, she was sick at home, and that time she had to go to work because of something in her mother's unit.
Mom was worried that Lingyi wouldn't go out to play with the neighbors when he was young, but now that everyone has it, Mom didn't want Lingyi to go out.
Mom prepared cartoons for Lingyi to watch on PAD, but she was still worried, this was the first time she was left alone at home, so she said to Lingyi: "Lingyi, you can't go out, Mom no longer can't go to Xiaoxiao's house to play, children can't lie, if they lie, they will have a long nose, and they will be very ugly." ”
Lingyi swore yes.
However, after a while, Xiaoxiao came to her house and knocked on the door and said that they wanted to play together.
