Chapter 3 Lu Linxuan

Lin Chao walked through the crowd, and the wet clothes on his body were dried by the fire in the fire. But his face was also blackened by thick smoke on his clothes, Lin Chao didn't want others to see his current appearance, he thought that the vinegar and soy sauce he had just made were still in the supermarket opened by Aunt Chen.

Generally, there is no business in the supermarket in the morning, Aunt Chen is lying on the recliner watching TV, the soy sauce and vinegar are still on the counter and do not move, Lin Chao quietly lurked in the supermarket, he squatted down and crept down with the counter to take down the soy sauce and vinegar.

"Who!" Aunt Chen seemed to hear something.

Lin Chao was startled and walked out of the supermarket with lightning speed.

Lin Chao's bun shop is not far from Hualian Supermarket, one is on the left side of the community gate, and the other is on the right side, with more than a dozen stores in between. Lin Chao was worried that his parents would ask questions again when they saw his appearance. He secretly put vinegar and soy sauce on the bun shop table, and quietly ran upstairs to change clothes. Due to the fast speed, Lin Chao's mother was also busy and didn't notice it.

About ten minutes or so, Lin Chao brushed and changed his clothes, and walked downstairs. Lin Chao opened a bun shop at home, and he has lived in such an environment since he was a child, so he has naturally been exposed to it. Selling breakfast is hard work. Normally, around two or three o'clock in the morning, when most people are still asleep, they have to get up to adjust, mix noodles, make steamed buns, boil porridge, and make tofu brain. Every day, around four or five o'clock, he began to get started, and Lin Chao's buns were genuine, tasted good, and naturally had many guests. Of course, Lin Chao's mother also contributed to all this.

Lin Chao's mother's surname is Lu, and the name of the bun shop surnamed Lin in her husband's family is Lu Linxuan, which is also a little different. Lin Chao has always had a strange and uneducated old man like his father, and the name is somewhat interesting. But later Lin Chao learned that the name came from his mother, and Lin Chao's mother was different from his father. She has a gentle personality, is kind to others, and has a lot of culture that is a little incompatible with Lin Chao's father.

Lin Chao's mother is about forty years old this year, and when she and Lin Chao's father moved to the city twelve years ago, in order to make a living, they rented a store outside the community and opened this Lu Linxuan. The faΓ§ade has two floors, the upstairs is divided into two bedrooms and a living room, and the downstairs is used for Lu Linxuan's business. When Lin Chao's mother first came, she was still young, only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with good craftsmanship, sweet mouth, and beautiful people, which also attracted many customers. The neighborhood also jokingly gave a bun Xi Shi's nickname. Her mother didn't mind, so she called them as she could, and she had been calling this for more than ten years.

Lin Chao has always wondered how a person like his mother, who is good-looking and educated, can fall in love with a big man like his father. But it's no wonder that Lin Chao thinks so, although his father is not a few years older than her mother, but he looks much older, and his hair that has not been cut for a long time has a lot of white hair. Besides, there is indeed a lot of estrangement between him and his father, and there is usually a lot of friction, so he doesn't like his father very much, and Lin Chao sometimes even thinks that if his parents don't know each other, they won't have a chance to give birth to a freak like him.

Usually busy until about half past nine in the morning, Lin Chao's usual favorite set meal is to take four steamed buns, a bowl of tofu brain, a tea egg, and then order pickle gnocchi, not to mention how beautiful the taste is.

Lin Chao's mother looked at Lin Chao and nagged, "Why did you buy soy sauce vinegar for so long, you kid, look at it, it's half past ten, and I don't know when you went up." ”

Lin Chao was a little weak-hearted: "When I just came back, you were busy, I didn't see it." Mom, you go to rest, I'll help you" After speaking, he hurriedly snatched the job from his mother's hand.

Seeing this, Lin Chao's mother hurriedly said, "What are you still packing, get up early in the morning and help me get busy until this time, you are about to take the college entrance examination, and finally come back for a long time to rest and rest." It's okay to go out with classmates and relax. ”

Lin Chao said a little flatteringly, "I don't feel sorry for you, you work so hard every day, I finally came back to help you, I shouldn't have been." ”

Lin Chao's mother looked at Lin Chao and said with concern on her face, "What do I have to work hard, I haven't been like this for more than ten years, but you, you have to prepare for the college entrance examination, and look, you have lost weight." ”

Lin Chao said a little flatteringly, "Mom, where have I lost weight, I see that you have been a little haggard for the past two days, you can rest first, I will help you get it, we are steamed buns, and we can't lose our temperament." ”

Lin Chao's mother laughed for a while, "Look at your sweet mouth, it's like smearing honey, I'm going to be an old woman soon, what kind of bun Shih Tzu." ”

Lin Chao continued, "Where are you old, when you go to school to see me, your classmates think you are my sister?" ”

Lin Chao's mother smiled from ear to ear and said, "How can there be, you child." ”

Lin Chao saw that the time was a little ripe, so he tentatively said, "Mom, I... The cost of living is almost, you can give a little more"

Lin Chao's mother squinted at Lin Chao, but still had a faint smile, "Xiaochao, I said why are you so sweet today, I have this bad idea for a long time, I didn't just give you a thousand yuan last time, it's only been less than half a month, and it's used up so quickly." ”

Lin Chao said a little coquettishly, "Mom, isn't this going to be the college entrance examination right away, it costs a lot, buy this and buy that, and before you know it, the money will be almost used, you can't let your son go hungry!" ”

Lin Chao's mother touched Lin Chao's head, "Okay, for the sake of my precious son, I have to take some money from my private house and give you 500, but son, you should save some flowers." ”

"Mom, 500, don't you think it's a little less, you can give at least a thousand."

"No,"

β€œ800”

"Nope."

"That's 600,"

"No, if your dad finds out, he'll be angry again, son."

"Oh, yes, where has the old man gone, why didn't I see him all morning."

"The hometown is going to be demolished, and the people in the village are not satisfied with the compensation, so they want to hold a meeting to organize the refusal of visas, and your father went to the meeting."

"My hometown is going to be demolished? He usually does things so poorly, and he dares to organize the refusal of visas with the villagers" Lin Chao's face was full of disdain.

Mother Lin knew that the two of them didn't deal with each other, so she enlightened Lin Chao, "Xiaochao, don't talk about your dad like that, your dad is not the person you think he is, and besides, he is your dad after all." ”

"That's right, he doesn't have a bag, and he doesn't have a bag when he beats me. When will he come back?"

"I don't know, I should come back for lunch," Lin Chao's mother said while still busy with the work in her hands.

"Mom, I'm back at school, and I won't eat at home at noon."

"Don't, Xiaochao, you go home one day a week, you have to leave so early!"

The two of them were talking, when they only heard a voice coming into Lu Linxuan, "These profiteers are really shameless, the foundation of the people in the village for generations wants to be sent away with such a little money."

Lin Chao looked for prestige, a middle-aged man was about forty years old, with sporadic gray hair, slightly old. He was stopping his motorcycle and walking into Lu Linxuan, who was Lin Chao's father, Lin Zhengfeng. Lin Chao was facing Lin Zhengfeng's eyes, and Lin Zhengfeng's sharp eyes made Lin Chao tremble.

Lin Zhengfeng didn't say much, and walked up to the second floor in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Chao whispered to his mother, "Mom, I'm going back to school." With that, he paced out.

Lin Chao's mother hurriedly stopped, "Xiaochao, let's leave after lunch"

Lin Chao was just about to say something when an angry voice came from the stairs on the second floor.

"Stop, little bunny, what's going on, how did you get it." Lin Zhengfeng took Lin Chao's sweatshirt and walked down from the upper floor and threw it in front of Lin Chao.

Lin Chao didn't dare to look at Lin Zhengfeng's gaze, "What did you do, I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Lin Chao's mother took the clothes and looked at them, and said with a smile: "I should be a big deal, if the clothes are dirty, just wash them." ”

Lin Zhengfeng yelled at Lin Chao's mother, "I didn't ask you, little rabbit, don't you say it." ”

"Old man, what are you crazy about!"

Lin Zhengfeng was angry, picked up a feather duster and prepared to fight Lin Chao, "Don't think I don't know what you did, you think you're Spider-Man or Superman, if you don't beat you, you don't know what your last name is." Lin Chao's mother hurriedly went to stop it.

Lin Chao felt aggrieved.

"Old man, I'm just saving people, not harming people, why are you!"

"Whether you save people or harm people, that's your business, but how many times have I told you, don't show your ability, you saved Lao Liu when you were six years old, and it wasn't harm, we were kicked out of the village, why don't you have a long memory."

"It's not because you're incompetent, you know that I've been wronged, and you don't help me explain that you're complicit with them, in the final analysis, it's still your incompetence."

"I'm so angry, how can I talk to you Lao Tzu, see if I don't kill you, it's your business to be a hero, don't bother us!"

Lin Zhengfeng chased after Lin Chao with a feather duster in his hand.

"Aunt Lu." A crisp voice broke the awkward atmosphere at this moment. I saw a beautiful figure at the door, this girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a school uniform, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and her face was green and innocent. She is about 1.7 meters tall, very thin, sleepy-eyed, and looks like she has just woken up.

The family that was originally fighting together slowly dispersed, and they all changed.

Lin Zhengfeng greeted Zhou Ning, and he suddenly changed his smiling face.

"Xiao Ning, come in and it's cold outside."

Lin Chao's mother also beckoned Zhou Ning to come over.

Zhou Ning walked into Lu Linxuan and glanced at Lin Chao, "Aunt Lu, do you still have buns?"

Lin Chao looked at Zhou Ning's sleepy appearance, and estimated that she should have stayed up late last night and slept until now before waking up, "Zhou Ning, who still sells steamed buns at eleven o'clock, why did you go last night, catch rabbits, and get up so late." ”

Seeing this, Lin Zhengfeng scolded Lin Chao, "Zhou Ning is the first in the exam every year, which is like you, who is half-hanging, people must study late at night, and you know how to play games all day long." ”

Zhou Ning was a little embarrassed by Lin Zhengfeng's praise, and hurriedly said modestly, "Uncle Lin, don't praise me like this, I will be proud, Xiaochao's grades are very good." ”

Lin Chao's mother greeted Zhou Ning, "Xiao Ning, the buns are sold out, it's almost time for dinner, stay for lunch"

Zhou Ning said a little shyly, "Aunt Lu, how embarrassing it is"

Lin Chao swished and said, "It's not the first time, what's embarrassing." ”

Zhou Ning walked over and sat next to Lin Chao, and then winked at Lin Chao.

Zhou Ning moved to this community about ten years ago, his father died early, his mother was a physicist, often abroad, the family was originally taken care of by his aunt, and later after high school, his aunt also got married, and usually only one person at home. She often goes to Lin Chao's house for breakfast, but Zhou Ning's personality is very different from what happened to her, she is optimistic and very liked, and Zhou Ning's mother entrusts her, so she takes care of her very much.
