Chapter 1: Crash (1)
"Bell Ring, Bell Bell Bell ......"
When I looked up, I saw that the lights of the rental house I rented for Lin Chunbao were on, but the phone calls I made to him were never answered.
Standing downstairs, looking at the seven or eight bags of various daily necessities and food stacked at his feet, Ji Beibei's heart began to become anxious little by little: "What's the matter, could it be that Lin Chunbao is in the toilet, so he didn't hear the phone ringing?" ”
She muttered to herself, and then shook her head again - unlikely, Lin Chunbao She knew that the world's latest fruit machine that she asked her to buy him was very precious, and she usually wouldn't forget to bring it even to the toilet.
Is it taking a bath?
But even if it is, this bath is too long, right?
Looking up and looking at the lights that were always on upstairs, Ji Beibei continued to call his mobile phone without giving up.
Listening to the bell ringing over and over again, but there was still no one to pick it up, Ji Beibei was angry and anxious, and at the same time couldn't help but deeply regret the kindness of the taxi driver who he had just rejected and wanted to help him send things upstairs.
What should I do now?
It is impossible for these things to be carried up in one breath by oneself, and if you don't lift them up in one go, do you have to leave some of them downstairs first, risking being taken away directly?
According to Lin Chunbao's trickiness, if these things he specified are missing or missing, he won't care if it's because he doesn't answer the phone at this time.
Anyway, he would only ask her to make up for it with a cold face.
Lin Chunbao is very picky about eating and using, and he has always used it well, even if it is not all the best, it has to be the same.
The things she brought with her today were all expensive, whether it was daily necessities or food. Lin Lin planted it, but it also cost four or five thousand yuan. If this is led by a passerby, it will only be her who will be distressed.
Holding his own little spirit that has been used for many years, and the surface has already lost some paint, Ji Beibei is very helpless.
If this place wasn't crowded with people, she would really want to stuff all these things directly into the space, and when she got upstairs and then took them out, everything would be solved......
For a while, I thought of the one I had never mentioned to anyone, and suddenly appeared inexplicably in the first two years, and there was about half an acre of space for planting in it, and the anxiety, irritability and annoyance brought by Ji Beibei because Lin Chunbao always didn't answer the phone disappeared a lot.
Whew, what do you have to be angry about?
No, it's a big deal to wait more downstairs, and when no one is around, slowly put things into the space quietly, and finally leave the amount that you can lift in one go, and the matter will be solved smoothly?
The solution was solved first, and Ji Beibei's mood calmed down.
Sighing, she once again felt deeply in her heart that she really couldn't count on Lin Chunbao for everything. Originally, in order not to have to make an extra trip, I specially brought all the things designated by Lin Chunbao in one go, but the result? —
Alas, that is the person who is used to being an uncle in front of himself, how can he dare to count on him if he can't learn well?
"Huh, it's you? Aren't you the sister of Manager Lin of the WorldCom company who lives in 502? I'm here to see your brother again? ”
Hearing that someone seemed to be talking to him, Ji Beibei came back to his senses, and when he heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - Manager Lin of WorldCom Company said Lin Chunbao, but what the hell is "sister" and "brother"?
Lin Chunbao is obviously his fiancé, right?
The thought crossed his mind in an instant, Ji Beibei looked up, and saw an old aunt in her sixties who was kind and kind-eyed and didn't know herself talking to him.
Subconsciously looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one left and right, and the person in front of him was talking to him, Ji Beibei looked at her with a puzzled face: "Who are you?" ”
"Oh... You don't know me, I'm a 401 neighbor with your brother. ”
The old aunt who took the initiative to talk to her smiled and briefly introduced herself, then looked at the pile of things on the ground that made Ji Beibei embarrassed and smiled: "I can't carry things in one go, right?" Hehe, it's a blessing to have a sister like you, I've seen you come a few times, and every time you don't fall short in your hands, it's all big and small. ”
Ji Beibei: "......"
This is to identify herself as Lin Chunbao's sister, right? Does he really look so "old"?
Obviously, he is one year younger than Lin Chunbao.
complained in his heart, but because he was not familiar with it and was not used to talking to strangers, even if he was not very comfortable, Ji Beibei finally did not refute it and told the other party that he had misunderstood. didn't rush to explain that he was not Lin Chunbao's sister, but his fiancée.
She didn't respond, but just smiled politely but distantly at the old aunt in front of her.
"Let's go, you can't lift so many things alone, and it just so happens that I met someone who can help."
Ji Beibei didn't explain, and the old aunt didn't know that she was actually mistaken.
She smiled with a smile on her face, with enthusiasm, and naturally bent down and stretched out her hand to help Ji Beibei carry the bags on the ground: "Anyway, I live in 401, but it's just a matter of taking an extra floor along the way." We are all neighbors, and it is also appropriate to help each other. ”
"...... thank you."
Seeing that the old aunt had already lifted half of the bag on the ground, Ji Beibei hurriedly thanked him after being stunned. Since someone took the initiative to help, she couldn't refuse. In addition to thanking and grateful, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart - it seems that her luck today is not bad enough to get home, and she has met a warm-hearted old aunt.
"Let's go. What is there to thank for the handy things? The old aunt smiled.
"......" Ji Beibei smiled shyly. She was used to not being good at words, and she didn't know what to do for a while when she heard this.
After taking two steps, she glanced at the old aunt, seeing that she was old, and she was uneasy to let such an old man help her carry things.
So with a little embarrassment, Ji Beibei said with some hesitation: "...... Auntie, these things are a bit heavy. Otherwise, you can help me watch them for a while, and I'll give them to me first, and then come down and get the rest myself? ”
"What are you doing all that trouble? Are you afraid that I won't be able to carry it? ”
The old aunt laughed heartily when she heard this, and her eyes looked at Ji Beibei with some satisfaction: "Don't worry, I'm not old yet." I usually buy the vegetables at home, and I have long been used to carrying things. In the summer, it is not uncommon for me to carry two large watermelons home in one go. ”
"Auntie is amazing." Ji Beibei hurriedly praised her, "Then I'll trouble you, thank you so much." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be at a loss. ”
"Don't be so polite. Even though your brother rents here, we're neighbors too. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Besides, he works in the same company as my daughter-in-law's own sister. ”
The old aunt waved her hand and smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry about your brother going up, my brother is not at home, I saw him going up with your future brother and daughter-in-law just now." ”
"My future brother-in-law?"
Stunned for a moment, the smile on Ji Beibei's face suddenly froze, and then his brows slowly wrinkled: "How do you know that woman is my 'future brother and daughter-in-law'?" Did he say it himself? ”
No wonder Lin Chunbao's neighbors thought she was her sister.
Could it be that Lin Chunbao has become arrogant like this, he doesn't take himself seriously at all, and when he cheats, he dares to openly put a junior on the outside to lie to others that he is his sister, and he uses other women to say that he is his "fiancée"?
Ji Beibei's brows furrowed tightly.
Thinking that he has been engaged to him for more than ten years, he has paid too much for the Lin family and Lin Chunbao, and he was coaxed and deceived by Lin Chunbao and Lin Chunbao's mother before he even went to high school, and finally took a leave of absence from school to work for him all the way to college, and also finished graduate school.
When Lin Chunbao was finally able to work, Ji Beibei thought that he could finally take a breath, but because Lin Chunbao and his mother kept talking about Lin Chunbao, it was not easy, and if he wanted to go out, he had to go out to socialize more, and he needed to save money to buy a house and get married.
So even if Lin Chunbao has been working for a few years and has been mixed into the position of manager in the company, she still has to make up for it every month.
Not only did Lin Chunbao pay her monthly rent, but even the things she used never politely instructed her to buy and buy......
He and his mother had even asked him to move in, cook, clean, wash and serve him, and he was very unhappy when he refused on the grounds that he needed to make money and had no time.
In the end, this matter was completed when he paid for Lin Chunbao to buy a fully automatic washing machine, and hired an aunt to come over regularly every day to help him do laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
But just like that, Lin Chunbao was still unhappy, and in private, he secretly muttered in front of other people in the village, saying that he was lazy, and it took eight lifetimes for his family to meet such a "daughter-in-law" who even his own man was unwilling to serve—
Is~
I want to explode into foul language......
Ji Beibei thought of how he felt when he heard these words from the mouth of his best friend Li Xuemei, and it was indescribable.
Over the years, he sacrificed his studies, came out early to make money, and endured a lot of hardships not only for Lin Chunbao to go to school, but even for him to eat and drink. Even most of the money for his family to build the only villa in the village was contributed by her...... It is said that it is enough to use these to offset the kindness that he saved his brother's life in the first place.
Ji Beibei thought a little reluctantly, if it weren't for Lin Chunbao's sake for saving her brother in the first place, how could she get engaged to him and endure their family for so long?
Thinking of the various things that Lin Chunbao and their family have spent her money on over the years, it is a treatment that she and her adoptive parents, sister and younger brother have never enjoyed, and they can get it effortlessly, but the result is not satisfactory. When Lin Chunbao turned her head and did something like betraying herself, the feeling in her heart was simply mixed, it was normal to be angry and aggrieved, but there was still a kind of joy and a feeling of quiet relief.
