Chapter 69: Happy Birthday
One summer, in a fairly neat orphanage. An elderly mother-in-law stands in front of a little boy.
"Xiao Chong, why are you fighting again?" The mother-in-law held a small basin, and her withered fingers lightly glued a little from it, and then wiped the wound on Xiao Lin Chong's face that was lightly cut and bleeding.
"It was they who made the first move!" Xiao Lin Chong lowered his head and stood in front of his mother-in-law, trying to argue for the business card of justice.
"Why?"
"I got some extra biscuits at noon, and they beat me."
"Then why are you taking more cookies?" The mother-in-law still had a kind face and a slow tone.
"The milk for Lin Zi to drink is too thin, and there is very little food, and Lin Zi is growing his body, and he can't eat enough at all. I want to crush the biscuits into a froth and mix them with milk. Xiao Lin Chong lowered his head, he knew that this was not right. But he still has to do it. Maybe it will be ...... in the future
"I've heard that biscuit bubbles can be more and you can eat full......"
……
"Stinky boy, how many times have you been told, you still dare to take more, once or twice is not enough, is it not good for me to say good things!"
A fat aunt carried a feather duster and rushed into the yard violently, and the mother-in-law in the back chased after her, but she was too old to catch up with the fat aunt who was angry.
The fat aunt who was angry saw Xiao Lin Chong who was grinding biscuits with her hands at a glance, and without saying a word, she picked it up as a feather duster.
Xiao Lin Chong didn't speak, so he lay on the ground and protected the bottle under him, and didn't forget to take advantage of the fat aunt's tiredness to quickly screw the bottle on.
"The old lady has worked hard to raise you little dolls, and she suffers all day long, what's the matter? Do you think the old lady is a fool? Steal secretly! You're not a good breed when you grow up! ”
The more the fat aunt talked, the more angry she became, and the more fierce she became.
But Xiao Lin Chong just didn't speak, he didn't cry, he lay on the ground and covered the milk powder bottle, he was afraid that the dean would see the milk powder bottle and sprinkle all his anger on it.
It is estimated that she was tired, so the fat aunt panted and scolded while walking into the distance.
"Xiao Chong, are you okay?" The mother-in-law, who couldn't persuade her at all, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lin Chong up.
"I'm fine." Kobayashi Chong even laughed.
"Child, does it hurt?" The mother-in-law's eyes were full of distress.
"It doesn't hurt, I've grown up, my body is very strong, and it doesn't hurt at all when the dean beats me."
The mother-in-law looked at the five-year-old Lin Chong in front of her and was speechless for a while.
Lin Cheng suddenly saw a small head poking out of the corner of the courtyard, and then the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Linzi, it's time to eat!"
Xiao Linzi in the corner of the wall heard Xiao Lin Chong's shout, and the pair of lollipop rubber shoes on his feet ran over with a babbling sound.
"Come on, come on." Xiao Linzi's milk voice was milky.
"Add food today and eat more." Xiao Lin Chong smiled, and in Xiao Linzi's eyes, he was like the sun in the sky. It's so warm.
"Why?" Xiao Linzi blinked and looked at Xiao Lin Chong, flashing as if he had some expectations.
"Because...... Today is Lin Zi's birthday. Xiao Lin Chong touched his head, Lin Zi was very envious of other children's birthdays, every time he met, he always asked Lin Chong, "When is Lin Zi's birthday", Lin Chong would always say that it hadn't arrived yet.
Fortunately, Lin Zi does not have a concept of time yet. But it's time for a birthday.
"Happy birthday, Linzi!" Xiao Lin Chong touched his head and handed the bottle to Lin Zi. One big and one small, like summer flowers and spring rain, smiling brightly and long.
…………
Lin Chong never hated that chubby middle-aged woman, he was, and still is. Because Lin Chong was wrong from the beginning, whether it was stealing, snatching cookies, or selfishly taking away what belonged to others.
But the fat woman beat and beaten, and never said from beginning to end how much she wanted Lin Chong to eat less the next day, and she would still give what she should give, depending on how much she gave her face.
Otherwise, Lin Chong would not have thought about how to go back after running out of the largest manor he had seen for the first time in his life.
I just don't know what's going on now? The simple reason that the fat aunt will give a stick and a jujube together should be able to hold up. Although I dare not say that it is too good, the orphanage will definitely be opened.
Maybe it's time to take a look back......
Lin Chong hung up the phone, waiting for Tian Xinyi's boxes of candy while decorating the room here. I haven't given a coming-of-age ceremony, so I must put a lot of thought into it this year, otherwise Lin Chong won't be able to get over it in his heart.
As for Lin Zi's classmates and friends, Lin Chong didn't plan to contact them, and on his birthday in previous years, he had always been a family of two. Maybe it's going to be three people today...... In the future, there may be many cute little ghosts who call Aunt Linzi, and maybe a strange man with Lin Zi in his arms.
Life will always get better and better, and this home will become more and more lively.
Lin Chong thought, took out all the sugar in the box, and hung the best-looking, the largest one on the back of the door. It's a good start, Lin Chong will put an open-door candy, the sweetest kind.
Headboard, wall...... Lin Chong went to the front desk again and asked Huo Mengyao to borrow some tools and decorate them. What satisfied Lin Chong the most was the sugar hanging on the chandelier.
As soon as the lights are turned on, the whole room is full of lollipops, and it looks like a beautiful candy hut. Anyway, Lin Chong was very satisfied.
Lin Chong was tinkering here, and Cao Xuexue over there led Lin Zi to start shopping in the commercial street.
"Sister Xuexue, are the things here too expensive?" Lin Zi subconsciously clenched his bulging pockets. Although these high-rise buildings are usually the same, the tall buildings and exquisite decorations of the bustling beauty can be ignored.
But when it's time to go in and consume, the woods, which have always been picky and selective on small stalls, are still a little cramped.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll help you with the money if you don't have enough money!" Cao Xuexue understands the situation of the brother and sister, and in fact, she wants to do her part today.
Who would have thought that Lin Zi's head shook like a rattle, and his face revealed a firmness that he had never felt before, "I must use my own money this time." ”
"I worked hard for more than a month to buy my brother a formal suit."
"Sister Xuexue, in the past ten years, it has always been my brother who celebrates my birthday and buys all kinds of gifts. My family has no money...... But every time I celebrate my birthday, my brother prepares a lot of things for me. ”
"New clothes, sugar, toys...... Many, many......" Lin Zi stretched out his hands and stretched out vigorously, as if to encompass the world in front of him.
"But...... My brother never had a birthday and he said he didn't...... I used to believe it, but how can anyone not have a birthday? ”
"I want to ...... Maybe I'll be enough to drag the oil bottle, go to the best school, and eat well at every meal...... I also have a birthday every year...... Maybe you'll run out of money. ”
"When we didn't come to Nanyun Academy, my brother worked five jobs a day, and he slept for three or four hours a day. He tried not to let me know, but I wasn't stupid. ”
“…… Actually, my brother is very smart, but he always skips class to work, and he always sleeps in class...... Actually, it's not smart, it's really stupid...... Otherwise, you should be in business like in the novel, and you have a lot of money at the age of eighteen, right? ”
As Lin Zi spoke, tears rolled in his eyes, but Lin Zi just didn't let it fall.
“…… I thought, since my brother doesn't say it, let's treat today as my birthday with my brother...... Even if my brother forgets that it's my birthday, I can celebrate it for my brother......"
Cao Xuexue has been silently listening to the stories of the brothers and sisters, although there are only a few words, Cao Xuexue can already imagine Lin Chong's life day and night.
This is indeed a very good man with responsibility...... Maybe it's going to be a good boyfriend, or something......
"Okay, then you come and I'll be your counselor! These people in the mall, they are very ...... with black hearts" Cao Xuexue took Lin Zi's hand, ignored Lin Zi's misty eyes, and walked into the mall.
In the shopping mall, from time to time, there is a hearty and thrilling bargaining battle between two female heroes and thousands of merchants.
……
It was expected to be noon, but the two of them moved to the evening. In the middle, Lin Chong seemed to have a call to Sister Xuexue, but Lin Zi didn't care. The first time he personally conquered the "battlefield", Lin Zi was full of spirit and was on the rise.
Although it is just to watch and not buy, the fun of women shopping is like that of men who like games, and neither of them can understand it.
In the end, Lin Zi was like a heroine who returned triumphantly, holding a brand bag in her left hand and Cao Xuexue's hand in her right hand.
It is said that the friendship on the battlefield is the hardest, and Lin Zi feels that his friendship with Sister Xuexue is also very hard. Comrades-in-arms! Lin Zi likes Cao Xuexue more and more, and it is right to be a sister-in-law!
……
"Brother?" Cautiously poking his head out, the senior VIP room was dark, and nothing could be seen.
The door behind him snapped shut suddenly, and Lin Zi was scared.
"Sister Xuexue?" Lin Zi looked at the dark ground, stretched out his hand to light a small flame, and touched the switch with his other hand.
Huh, soft, fleshy?
Syllable!
The lights of the entire high-level VIP were all lit up in an instant.
The small lanterns used for the New Year's holidays, the small decorations of the sports meeting, and the beautiful pendants that only appear on TV at other people's birthday parties.
The most important thing is...... It's all sugar.
In front of the forest, his eyes were full of all kinds of lollipops. I don't know it, but I don't know it.,In short, it's the kind that is particularly delicious.。
"Happy birthday, Linzi!"
Lin Zheng suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zi, wearing a lollipop costume, looking extremely cute.
"Hahaha, what a stupid man." Lin Zi and Cao Xuexue, who had pulled the switch on the side, burst into laughter.
Laughing and laughing, Lin Zi laughed out of his tears. It's like saving in front of a mall, and now it's all used.
It's just that this time Lin Zi didn't rush into Lin Chong's arms like before, seeking comfort from his brother. Just standing, laughing, crying......
"Brother, you too!" Lin Zi picked up the suit that was placed behind him.
Lin Chong was stunned, not knowing what the situation was.
"I always have to go to work in the future, and I have to dress formally if I have a date or a marriage proposal or something...... I thought about buying a dress for my brother. ”
"Where's the money?" Lin Chong's face changed slightly.
"Hmm...... I earned it from a part-time job. ”
"At night?" Lin Chong remembered that night when he broke through the forest and went out.
"Hmm."
Lin Zi thought that Lin Chong was going to be angry again, but he didn't move for a long time, and then he felt that the familiar big hand fell on his head again.
"It's good," Lin Chong smiled...... "It seems that my family's Lin Zi has finally grown up." ”
Lin Zi looked up and laughed with Lin Chong.
"That...... I went to say hello to Nurse Huo, and they helped in the afternoon. ”
After Lin Chong finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out. Standing in the corridor, Lin Chong rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"It's windy here......"
