Chapter 17 Father's helplessness

Lin Yu'er hurriedly shook off Xiao Rui's hand, pretended to be angry, and said, "You drive well!" The tone was full of coquettishness.

"Okay." Xiao Rui didn't dare to be serious anymore, and hurriedly put his hands on the steering wheel, without squinting, and the two of them didn't say anything all the way.

After driving for a while, there was still some distance from Lin Yuer's community, and Lin Yu'er suddenly said: "Stop at the intersection in front, I'll just get off there." ”

"How?" Xiao Rui asked, "It's not there yet, don't worry." ”

"It's not." Lin Yu'er's face was a little shy, "I'm afraid that others won't see it well." ”

Xiao Rui laughed embarrassedly: "What's wrong?" Besides, in the middle of the night, who can see? ”

Lin Yu'er said: "It's not good in the middle of the night, I got out of your car, in case there is drinking in the community to go home, it is inevitable to gossip when I see it." ”

With a brake sound, Xiao Rui parked the car on the side of the road, he maintained the last gentlemanly demeanor, opened the passenger driver's door for Lin Yu'er, and after the other party walked away, he kicked the obstructive stone on the side of the road.

- A nameless fire was stirred up in his heart by Lin Yu'er, this Lin Yu'er, he is bound to get it, I don't know what's wrong, Xiao Rui just wants to get Lin Yu'er at the moment.

When Lin Yu'er walked into the community, the doorman's head was dozing off little by little, and the black-and-white TV in front of him was playing a sleepy soap opera.

There was not even a single figure on the road, only a few stray cats swaggering around in the darkness of the night, and occasionally a few long-sounding cat meows.

The street lamp stretched the shadow of the tree very long, Lin Yu'er walked downstairs to her house, subconsciously raised her head to take a look, and suddenly found that the lights in the homes of the residents on the entire building had been turned off, and even the lights in the corridor were not lit - except for her own home.

Lin Yu'er pulled the corners of her mouth mockingly, lowered her head, and went upstairs according to her unhurried steps before.

The light bulb on the first floor has been broken, and the property has not had time to repair it, but if you enter this corridor during the day, you will find that the entire corridor, from the entrance of the corridor to the door of the residents on the first floor, is covered with dense small advertisements.

I don't know which household on the first floor has a newborn child at home, and the used milk powder cans and diaper bags are randomly piled in the corridor, waiting for the property to be cleaned the next day.

Lin Yu'er went upstairs by the moonlight, but when she walked to the door of the house, she tripped over the pile of garbage, fortunately she was in a good mood tonight, and decided not to go forward to kick over the pile of garbage for them.

She took out her phone from her bag, turned on the flashlight that came with it, and walked all the way to her door, rummaging through her bag full of bits and pieces by the light of her phone, looking for the key.

The sound of her flipping things was loud, especially the crisp metal crashing between the keys and the small cosmetics in her bag.

The sound insulation of the houses in this community is average, Lin Yu'er is standing at the door now to make a clear sound, if there is someone in the house, he will definitely be able to hear it, but the person did not open the door for her.

Lin Yuer finally turned out the key, she held the mobile phone in her left hand, inserted the key into the keyhole with her right hand, and with a "click", the door opened.

The bright lights in the room poured out in an instant. came out, Lin Yu'er just came out of the dark-lit corridor, and she was still a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, she raised her hand to block the light, and subconsciously squinted her eyes.

"What did you do?" A deep voice came, and there was a bit of majesty in it.

When this familiar voice spoke with a familiar tone of lesson, she also had a habitual fear, Lin Yu'er stood in place for a while, finally adapted to the bright light, and closed the door behind her casually, making a "bang" sound, not big, but enough to calm herself from her habitual emotions.

She laughed mockingly, didn't speak, slowly changed her shoes, she knew that the man sitting on the sofa in front of her was no longer the arrogant person before, I don't know why, years of prison life actually made him a little weak, she used to hate his style, but now she looks down on him even more.

Father Lin looked at the daughter he had raised for many years silently, and couldn't help frowning: "What about you, why did you come back so late, what did you do?" ”

Lin Yu'er threw her bag on the shoe cabinet at the door, walked to the kitchen with her slippers, and raised her spikes at her father: "You don't care about my business." ”

She picked up a mug from the cupboard, poured herself a cup of hot water, and leaned leisurely against the table, as if she had not noticed her father's clenched fist at her words.

Father Lin knew that the moment he was sentenced, he knew that he was cheating, and he didn't report to the police when he witnessed his wife being killed, which caused a great blow and hurt to Lin Yuer.

He also clearly knows that a large part of the fragmentation of this family is caused by himself, he knows that he owes Lin Yu'er a lot, and it is normal for Lin Yu'er to resist and disobey his father.

But when Lin Yu'er said the sentence "You can't control it", his heart was still uncomfortable, as if a needle was pricked.

Father Lin swallowed a thousand words back into his stomach, and finally just said dryly: "Just don't say it." ”

After a long time, he opened his mouth and closed it, paused, and finally spoke: "But Dad understands you, and he still has to advise you, people still have to look at the road in front of them, don't be too ambitious." ”

This sentence made Lin Yu'er, who had been calm before, angry, she "slammed" down the water cup in her hand, and the water in the water cup immediately shook out and sprinkled the tabletop, she shouted: "So ambitious? Do I have one? I'm just getting back to my old life, what's wrong with me! ”

Father Lin sat on the sofa dejectedly, the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper, and he crossed his hands, as if he didn't know what to say: "The previous life is gone, there is no more...... We must settle down to live the present day. ”

"Hah!" Lin Yu'er was simply laughed at angrily, "Now days? What face do you have to say? Isn't it thanks to you that these days are as dark as rats? ”

Father Lin wiped his face tiredly, and said in a low voice: "I know it's my fault, but now that we're like this, it's not the time to be ambitious......" His eyes kept staring at the coffee table in front of him, and his focused gaze seemed to stare at it out of a hole.

Lin Yu'er couldn't bear to raise her hand: "Enough!" I don't have much to say to you. Without hesitation, she turned and went into the house, slamming the door with a loud bang.

Father Lin raised his head at this time, stared blankly at the direction of Lin Yu'er's bedroom, hugged his head dejectedly, pinched his scalp with his fingers, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm sorry......"

Next.

The biological clock formed in the prison all the year round made Lin's father open his eyes before dawn, although he slept for less than three hours last night, he was no longer sleepy at this moment, his hands and feet were dressed and washed quickly, and the quilt was folded into a square tofu block, Lin's father decided to go out and buy a breakfast.

Only a few days after he was released from prison, he already knew that there was a breakfast shop at the entrance of the community that the xiaolongbao was particularly delicious, and business was good every day, so he glanced at the door of Lin Yuer's room that was still closed, lightened his footsteps, took some change and went out.

It was only half past six in the morning, and the door of the shop selling xiaolongbao was already full of people, Father Lin hesitated for a while, and finally decided to line up here, and many people were complaining in the queue.

An old lady said to the person next to her: "Our eldest grandson loves to eat his xiaolongbao, and yesterday we asked the old man to buy it, and he came over at half past seven, and queued for a long time. Hey, no, I got up early today and hurried over to line up. ”

Father Lin stood behind them, accidentally listened to such an ear, remembered some old things, and laughed, at that time Lin Yu'er was still young, it was the age when she loved to eat sugar, the family was afraid that she would have tooth decay, and they had not let her eat more, but when she was greedy, she would suck her fingers and run over and ask softly: "Dad, let's buy some sugar candy to eat?" ”

Father Lin lied to her: "The candy seller has gone home after selling it, and we can't buy it." ”

Lin Yu'er is still young, and it is easy to be fooled, and she innocently showed a look of grievance: "Ah, then let's go buy it early tomorrow, okay?" ”

Father Lin coaxed her to say yes, but every day this little lazy worm couldn't get out of bed.

"How many do you want?" The voice of the waiter in front of him interrupted his thoughts, and Father Lin realized that he had already lined up, he looked at the size of the xiaolongbao in front of him, and asked the other party for two drawers.

When he got home, Father Lin also controlled the sound he made to the minimum, he put the food he bought on the dining table, and brought two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, so he wanted to wake Lin Yu'er up, but when he thought of the dispute last night, and considering that Lin Yu'er slept very late yesterday, he stopped his steps again.

Father Lin sat in the living room and waited for Lin Yu'er to get up.

The wait was until noon, the sun had risen very high, and the noisy sound of adults getting off work and children getting out of school in the community came in unabashedly from the poorly soundproofed windows, and the aroma of food rising in the corridor also followed the sound to the nose, and the door of Lin Yuer's bedroom finally opened.

She looked very good, her hair was loosely pulled up, she washed herself in the bathroom, poured herself a glass of water to drink, and ignored Father Lin who was sitting on the sofa the whole time.

The breakfast on the dining table had already cooled down, and as soon as Lin Yu'er pulled out a chair and sat down, Father Lin said, "It's already cold, let's eat it when it's hot." ”

Lin Yu'er still sat down, picked up a pair of chopsticks and ate slowly.

Father Lin was helpless against the current Lin Yu'er, so he had to get straight to the point and say: "I have something to tell you." ”

Lin Yu'er finally raised her head when she heard this, and glanced at him lightly.

Father Lin automatically chose to ignore some unknown emotions in Lin Yu'er's eyes, and continued: "I plan to drive a small car repair shop. ”
