Chapter 0006: Warm and touching
"Squeak!"
The rusty iron door was opened, and the familiar and unfamiliar scenes inside appeared in Lin Chen's sight.
This is an old two-bedroom and one-hall house that is a bit old, the cracks are clearly visible on the gray and white walls, and on the wooden chair facing the door, Lin Chen's father, Lin Deming, is lying on it, and the reason why he is lying is because his left leg, which is wrapped in white bandages, needs to be placed on the table.
This is last week, Lin Deming was drinking with a few old friends and was mechanically smashed his left leg while working in the workshop, so the current situation was created.
I don't know if it's the pain in my legs or the troubles in my heart, Lin Deming's vicissitudes of life are always filled with sorrow. He held a cigarette in his right hand and kept inhaling it, as if this would relieve his sorrow and pain, and make himself more comfortable.
Cigarettes have not been eliminated in this century, but after many improvements, today's cigarettes are no longer harmful to the human body.
Lin Deming heard the door open, extinguished the cigarette and looked up.
Originally, with a sad gaze, the moment he saw Lin Chen, he became kind and soft, but then, as always, he pretended to be stern and said, "You kid, why did you come back so late today?" ”
was suddenly questioned by Lin Deming, Lin Chen's mood suddenly became nervous, and he hurriedly lied in order to cover him up. “… Dad, it was the mentor who left me behind and trained for a while! ”
And he hasn't called this title for a long time, and now he is very blunt when he shouts.
Lin Deming nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Mentor Hou is still good, he has taken care of you quite a lot in the past two years, you must train hard, and you can't let him down!" ”
"Deming, is Xiao Chen back?" At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the kitchen, and I saw Lin Chen's mother, Liu Wan, walking out.
Lin Chen looked back, Liu Wan, who was wearing an apron on her upper body, looked like an ordinary housewife. Under the casually coiled hair, there are beautiful cheeks, but after the destruction of the years, there are now many wrinkles.
And what has never changed in my memory is the pair of eyes that are as gentle as water. When she saw Lin Chen come back, she was as loving as ever.
"You kid, stay in school again, right?" A simple sentence was full of distress and trust in Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's heart trembled, he couldn't bear to lie under the gaze of his mother Liu Wan, so he had to change the topic and ask, "Mom... You haven't eaten so late! ”
"Alas, didn't you take your dad to the hospital today?" Speaking of this, Liu Wan frowned, and her whole person became irritable, but as soon as she thought of Lin Chen, she hurriedly said gently: "Hungry, right?" The meal is ready, you go and ask Xiaoxue to come over for dinner! ”
"This girl, since she came back, she has rushed into the bedroom, and she doesn't know what she is doing!" Liu Wan said to herself, turned around and went into the kitchen again.
Lin Chen nodded at his father on the sofa and walked towards the bedroom in the living room. According to memory, he and his sister Lin Xue's bedrooms were in it. As for Mom and Dad, they slept in a bedroom made of wooden planks in the living room.
"Whoa!"
Just as he was about to push open the door of Lin Xue's bedroom, Lin Chen heard the sound of turning things over from his room.
So, he turned around and pushed his bedroom open.
In the sight, his room was in a mess, the desk, the wardrobe, everything that could be turned over was turned over, and the petite figure was lying on the concrete floor with his little buttocks, secretly casting a magic hand on the innermost bookshelf in the room.
"Little... Snow? ”
As soon as she heard the sound, Lin Xue quickly got up from the ground, and at the same time turned around and looked towards the door. "Brother~"
"My room...", and Lin Chen looked at his room like a thief, his face was speechless, and he was about to put on a straight face and pretend to be angry, when his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Little... Clear? ”
The cute little face that turned in his sight, Lin Chen was too familiar, this was not from the familiarity in Lin Chen's memory, but himself!
and in the 21st century, his biological sister Lin Xiaoqing, when she was ten years old, was very similar.
The long black and silky hair, hanging down against the little head, and the long bangs in front were stuck at the base of the left and right ears by two pink hairpins, leaving only two strands of fine hair, which hung down down the cheeks to the chest.
On the pink round little face, the thin eyebrows are curved, and there are a pair of big jewel-like eyes inlaid underneath, and the bright color is similar to the infinite longing for beauty.
A washed crumpled white pajama dress, with an innocent expression on her face, made her look like a pitiful little princess.
"Brother~" Xiao Lin Xue saw him staring at him, looking straight at himself, as if he realized that something was wrong, his eyes looked around at his masterpiece, and he couldn't help but fold a pair of small hands in front of him, posing as a pitiful appearance of doing something wrong.
"Brother~" Xiao Lin Xue hung her head and shouted again.
Lin Chen, who woke up from the shock and memories, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement of rushing forward, and then put his face up again.
"What are you doing?"
was asked by Lin Chen like this, Xiao Linxue's big jewel-like eyes flashed with a look of wisdom, so he pouted and said aggrievedly: "Brother~ You're back!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't forget to take steps and plunged into Lin Chen's arms.
At the age of ten, she was less than one meter four tall, and her head just crashed into Lin Chen's arms.
"Hiss..."If it was usually fine, but the bloody wound on Lin Chen's chest was simply bandaged, and in order not to let his family see the abnormality, he deliberately changed into a new shirt, and now he was hit by his sister Lin Xue's head, and he almost fainted in pain.
"Brother... What happened to you? Xiao Lin Xue tilted her head, looked at Lin Chen's pale and painful face, and said with some fear.
"No... Affair! Lin Chen endured the sharp pain in his chest and pulled his sister Lin Xue out of his arms.
"Oh..."
"By the way, brother, where did you put all the books on physical fitness? Hurt people... Looking for so long! ”
Lin Chen looked at the cute little face that was close at hand, his heart softened, and the pain on his face seemed to dissipate a lot. He habitually stretched out his palm and gently rubbed Lin Xue's little head.
"Did you find it?"
"Nope!" Xiao Lin Xue shook her head, seeing that Lin Chen was not really angry, a flower-like smile suddenly appeared on her face, where was the grievance just now.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the bookshelf, raised his arm slightly, and after groping for a while on the top layer of the bookshelf, he took out three books on physical cultivation from above.
"Huh... That's it, brother, you put it on the bookshelf, I said I searched your room, why can't I find it! ”
Hearing this, Lin Chen almost stumbled to the ground, feeling that you have turned over my room, fortunately Lin Chen has no little secrets, otherwise... I'm going to memorize this pot!
"Hee-hee, I'm going to finish reading it all in the next two days, and then tell my classmates!" And Xiao Lin Xue hugged three thick books in her arms and said excitedly: "I want to be a genius too!" ”
"You clean up my room..."
As soon as she heard that she was going to clean up the room, Xiao Lin Xue didn't look back, directly smeared oil on the soles of her feet, and ran out with a smoke. "Brother~ I just heard my mother call us to eat!"
Lin Chen shook his head with a wry smile in the back, and after a while, the pain in his chest was much lessened, and then he came to the living room.
But then when he saw that the food had been laid out on the table, and his parents and sister were waiting for him, his heart trembled again!
When ago, I was still alone, barely living by games, and now suddenly... With new parents, a new family, a new sister, and...... Sound body!
Although this body was born in a poor family, Lin Chen already felt extremely satisfied!
Especially this kind of family scene that only exists in his memory, which makes him feel extremely unreal, and has the illusion of a sudden dream.
"Xiao Chen, what are you doing? Why don't you come over for dinner! ”
"Oh... Okay Mom...! Lin Chen, who was in place, was suddenly woken up by Liu Wan, and hurriedly came to his place at the table and sat down.
Then looking at the food on the table, a memory message came to my mind again.
These meals, which look like they are about the same as their own century, are no longer just filling their stomachs.
After 7 centuries of improvement, both vegetables and meat have great genetic benefits for humans.
The most significant thing is that in this century, a long life is already the most common phenomenon, and the arm strength of an ordinary adult man (non-physical cultivator) is about 200 kilograms, and if the physique is better, this value will be even higher!
And these are just the meals that their most ordinary families eat, if it is a rich family power, the meals they eat are even more effective, and they are of great help to the cultivation of physical fitness genes!
……
After the meal, Lin Xue wiped her mouth, got up from the chair, and said excitedly: "Mom and Dad, I'll go back to the room to read!" I'm going to sign up for the physical fitness school in half a month, and I have to hurry up and learn about physical fitness! ”
"Hee-hee... Then, I also want to cultivate like my brother and strive to become a mecha warrior in the future! When the time comes, we can move to the city to live in a big house and live a good life! Xiao Lin Xue said and ran towards her bedroom.
However, Lin Chen, Liu Wan at the dinner table, and Lin Deming, who was lying on the sofa with limited mobility, instantly became worried.
This atmosphere of silence was broken by Liu Wan after several minutes.
"Deming, or I'll ask my eldest brother's house... Borrow some money, it just so happens that Liu Ting's girl has broken through to the first level of physical genes, maybe their family should be more comfortable. ”
"No way!" Lin Deming didn't want to veto it directly.
"So what do you say? Today is already the 16th, and on July 1, Xiaoxue must go to the physical fitness school to register, otherwise you will have to wait for a year! But 20w we..."Liu Wan was in a hurry, her eyes were red.
The huge number of 200,000, with their ordinary family, let alone half a month, even half a year is not enough. Moreover, if you miss the registration day on July 1st, you will have to wait until next year, which is enough time for physical cultivation in one year to be thousands of miles worse than children of the same age!
Lin Deming realized that his tone just now was a little rushed, so he lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and then eased slightly: "Liu Ting's girl some time ago, she finally broke through to the first order, and then she is facing, buying mecha weapons, and more cultivation resources, how can your eldest brother have the money to lend us?" And... I don't want you to ask him to borrow money! ”
His work unit is a secondary processing factory for mecha weapons, so he usually knows more about low-level mecha weapons, including the selling price!
"In the next two days, I'll try to borrow some from a few old friends!"
Liu Wan, who was already red-eyed, heard Lin Deming mention the three words of old friend, and immediately said angrily: "Old friend? Those friends in your factory are all fox friends, and if they hadn't dragged you to drink at the beginning of the month, you wouldn't have had this kind of thing! ”
"Our family will not lack this 20w!"
Lin Deming was also a little angry and said, "Then you're not wrong?" Can this leg of mine compare to Xiaoxue's future? But you secretly take Xiaoxue's tuition fees to buy some healing potions, that kind of thing costs tens of thousands of dollars per gram, can our family use it? ”
"So you mean to let me watch you become disabled? Regardless of it? ”
……
Lin Chen next to him listened to the quarrel of his parents, not only did he not feel irritable, but a trace of warmth rose in his heart, because of this feeling, he really... It's been a long, long time since I felt it!
However, the cause of this incident was his father Lin Deming, who broke his left leg by machinery while working in the workshop because he was drinking with old friends at the beginning of the month, and the factory believed that Lin Deming was a mistake in his drunken work and did not pay compensation.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and if he was not treated with medicine in time, Lin Deming might become disabled, and his mother Liu Wan had no choice but to take out Xiaoxue's school fee to treat Lin Deming's injured left leg.
That's why we are in the situation we are in today.
As for Lin Chen, the owner of the body, he wanted to share some pressure for his parents, so he sneaked into the crystal realm alone, intending to kill a few crystal beasts to raise money for his sister's tuition, but he died unexpectedly in the crystal realm before he broke through the first order.
And he crossed the centuries to this.
That's how the whole thing came about.
Seeing that the quarrel between his parents was getting more and more intense, Lin Chen hurriedly interrupted.
“… Father... Mother... I should be able to raise enough money for Xiaoxue's tuition! ”
"You?"
