Chapter 21: Something Happened
It's been almost a year since I entered the university, I have a girlfriend at the level of a department flower, I have won a scholarship, I have gained a little popularity through various activities, and I also have some female students who admire me. Especially after Jia Tianer came this time, it attracted a lot of people's attention, and I became a winner in life from the original backward element, which felt a little fluttery.
But as the saying goes, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune lurk. I know very well that the beginning of my good luck is because I met Lin Qian, she is the noble person in my life, but if Lin Qian suddenly has a situation one day, what should I do?
There is less than a month to go before the final exam, and everyone is gradually entering the stage of review and preparation, some people work hard for scholarships, some people pretend to work hard in order not to fail the course, and I, as always, under the supervision of Lin Qian, soak in the library every day.
On this day, as soon as we returned to the dormitory after lunch, a middle-aged man knocked on the door and asked, "Does Xu Xuan live in this dormitory?" When I looked back, it turned out to be Lin Qian's father. I hurriedly walked up to him in three steps and two steps and said, "Uncle Lin, why are you here?" ”
Uncle Lin wore a black visor with a low brim, and he didn't seem to want people to see his face. He whispered, "Let's find a place to talk." "I suddenly had a very bad premonition, so I took Uncle Lin to a secluded place next to the dormitory.
Uncle Lin said, "Xuanxuan, I came this time to ask for your help. I hurriedly said, "Uncle, you say." Uncle Lin said: "Uncle has a problem in business, and he may have to go abroad with your aunt for a while, and it is not clear when he will come back." My eyes widened in astonishment. Uncle Lin continued: "Uncle and aunt have always felt that you are very stable and reliable, so I entrust Xiaoqian to you, and you have to take care of her. I hurriedly said, "That's for sure." ”
Uncle Lin took out a large brown paper envelope from his bag and handed it to me and said: "There are 50,000 yuan in it, you keep it for Xiaoqian, she spends a bit lavishly, you have to take care of it for her in the future, and her next tuition and living expenses will be in it." "I've never touched so much money, and with the heavy envelope in my hand, my mind is a little confused.
Uncle Lin continued: "Xuan Xuan, there is one thing you must remember, you must not tell anyone about Uncle coming to you this time. Xiaoqian's side, I can't go to her by myself, you can help me talk to her, calm her emotions, let her go to school with peace of mind, and don't think nonsense. And you must not take the initiative to find me, my mobile phone will not be able to get through next, I will take the initiative to contact you when I have the opportunity. ”
The amount of information was too large, and I couldn't react in my mind at once, so I could only remember it silently in my heart, and then nodded mechanically. Uncle Lin wrote down the phone number of my dormitory and left in a hurry, I took the big envelope containing the money, stood there stunned for a while, and then my first reaction was to quickly deposit the money in the bank. I have never been exposed to so much money, and I have a very unsteady feeling in my heart.
After saving the money, I pondered Uncle Lin's words in my heart, and then thought about how to talk to Lin Qian better, and unconsciously walked downstairs to the girls' dormitory. After a while, Lin Qian ran down, looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you, you look unhappy." I dragged her to a place where no one was and said, "There's something I don't know how to tell you." Lin Qianqi said: "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”
I thought for a while and said, "Your dad came to me just now, saying that his company is in a hurry, and your mother is going abroad for a while, let me tell you, saying that foreign mobile phones will not be able to get through, so you don't want to look for them, they will take the initiative to contact you when they have the opportunity." Lin Qian felt even more strange and said, "Why did my dad run to find you and not come to me?" I said, "This ...... I can't figure it out, maybe it's more troublesome to enter the girls' dormitory, and he's in a hurry, so let me tell you. ”
Lin Qian scratched her head and said, "It always feels weird, something is in a hurry." I said, "He also asked me to tell you to study hard and not to think too much." Lin Qian said: "I should say this to you, I'll study well." I said, "By the way, he also gave you a sum of money, which is your tuition and living expenses, and let me take care of you and not let you spend money indiscriminately." Lin Qian said: "I know, the money is all handed over to you, I don't have the ability to take care of it." I said, "Then it's okay, I'll go back to the dormitory first." Lin Qian nodded thoughtfully.
I went back to the dormitory and lay on the bed to take a nap, but I couldn't sleep, and my mind kept thinking: Uncle Lin had a business problem and went abroad with his aunt? Could it be that they failed in business and owed a lot of money and went into hiding abroad? How many years will it take for them to come back, will they not come back? So what will Lin Qian do in the future, if her parents settle abroad, will she go abroad with her? What should I do if she goes abroad?
A series of unsolvable questions made me uneasy. Fortunately, over the years, under Lin Qian's training, my psychological quality has improved a little, so I adjusted my mentality in time, tried not to think about these questions that have no answers for the time being, and finished the final exam first.
After the exam and the holidays, Lin Qian and I packed up and went home. During the winter vacation last year, it was Uncle Huang, Lin Qian's father's driver, who came to pick us up at the station, but naturally no one would pick us up at the station this time, so we took a taxi. When I arrived at the gate of the community, I thought that Lin Qian's parents were not at home, and she might be scared alone, so I insisted on sending Lin Qian up. When we arrived at Lin Qian's house, we learned that Lin Qian's father's accident was far more serious than we imagined, and several people wearing court uniforms were putting seals on the door of Lin Qian's house.
We were all stunned, and Lin Qian shouted, "What are you doing? Several people looked back at us, and one of them was a middle-aged man who said: "We are from the county people's court, this property has been seized, and we are here to perform official duties, what is the relationship between you and the owner?" Lin Qian said: "This is my home." The middle-aged man said, "What is the relationship between you and Lin Xiangyang?" Lin Qian said: "I am his daughter." The middle-aged man said, "That's just right, the economic investigation detachment is preparing to contact you and ask you about some information, so please come with us later." ”
Lin Qian was stunned for a long time, nodded and said, "Oh." I said, "Can I go with her?" The middle-aged man said, "What is your relationship with her?" I said, "I'm her classmate." The middle-aged man said, "Don't go to anyone who has nothing to do." Lin Qian said: "You help me take my luggage to your house first, and I will go to your house to find you in a while." I nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, be careful yourself." ”
Watching Lin Qian get into the court's car and leave, I pulled two suitcases and went home.
As soon as I entered the house, my mother hurriedly asked me, "Did Xiaoqian come back with you?" Do you know that something happened to her family? I said, "As soon as I came back with her, several people from the court took her away, and what happened to her family." My mother pulled me into my room, only to see that there were several boxes in the room, and my mother said: "One night about a month ago, Xiaoqian's father suddenly moved these boxes to the house, saying that they were going abroad for a while, this is Xiaoqian's thing, temporarily put it in our house, please take care of Xiaoqian, and then left in a hurry." Your dad and I were still wondering what was going on, but then the news came out on TV, saying that Xiaoqian's father's company had a problem, the boss ran away, the company was also seized by the court, and many people were collecting debts at the door of their company. ”
I didn't dare to tell my parents about Uncle Lin coming to school to look for me, so I had to ask, "Did you find anyone later?" The mother said: "Later, I heard that the Public Security Bureau checked the exit records, and they got on the plane to the United States. I said, "I just sent Lin Qian home, her house has been sealed by the court, and then she can only live in our house first." Mother said: "If Xiaoqian lives in our house, will their family's affairs implicate our family, or see if there are any relatives in her family......" I don't know why I suddenly became angry, and said loudly: "What you said is not right, originally according to my grades, I couldn't even pass the junior college exam, it was all up to Lin Qian to help me make up for three years of homework, I could be admitted to the undergraduate, and now she is in difficulty, how can I ignore her!" If you're afraid of being implicated, I'll take her to live outside. The mother sighed and said, "I also discussed it with you, what kind of anger are you making?" I said, "There is nothing to discuss here, and when she comes back from the courthouse, don't tell her anything, and if she refuses to live in our house, I will go out with her." The mother sighed again and said, "All right, so be it." ”
Mother went out of the room, I opened the boxes and looked, they were all Lin Qian's clothes, school supplies, daily necessities and other things, I suddenly remembered that Teacher Ge, they are relatives, will they know some more specific information, so I hurriedly ran to the living room to call Teacher Ge. After making the call, I learned that Mr. Ge's family didn't know much about the situation in Lin Qian's family, and Lin Qian's parents hadn't gone to look for them before they left, and they also knew the news from the news.
I didn't have the heart to pack my bags, so I sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, thinking crankily. The missing deputy county magistrate Zhou should be the father of his high school classmate Zhou Jianjun, I heard that Uncle Lin and Deputy County Magistrate Zhou were colleagues, and later Uncle Lin went to the sea, and he had a very good relationship with Deputy County Magistrate Zhou. I don't know how Zhou Jianjun is doing now, but Zhou Jianjun will often bully me, I don't care if he is doing well or not, I care about what Lin Qian's future life will do, if one day her parents settle down in the United States, will she go to the United States to find her parents? If she leaves, what will I do in the future? How sad she would have been if her parents had not heard from her.
