Chapter 44: Memories

The storefront of this store is the original Shunhe restaurant, called "Coke Store", since the Shunhe restaurant out of Li Mingyu's incident, someone removed the restaurant's signboard and pasted the red paper of the whole building for rent, a few weeks ago someone came to install a new signboard, the owner of the store is a foreigner, he may have just arrived in Y City, and he does not know that this building has been murdered.

Fortunately, when Lin Xue pushed the roller shutter up just now, the roller shutter didn't make too much noise, otherwise the three of them would find out that she had walked out, she whispered to Liu Ruxi: "Liu Ruxi, let's wait here, wait until the eldest uncle has finished smoking the whole cigarette, and then go over to say hello, and then you go and close the small door."

Liu Ruxi whispered, "Oh, I know, don't you want to smell his smoke?"

Lin Xue lowered her voice: "Well, I hate smelling other people's second-hand smoke."

Lin Guang threw the half of the cigarette he was holding at his feet and stepped on it with his black leather shoes, Lin Xue looked at it from this angle, and could see the front of the silver-gray sedan next to him, four circles, Audi.

Lin Xue pinched Liu Ruxi's arm and motioned for him to walk over with him, and Liu Ruxi showed Lin Xue with his eyes that he understood.

The two walked in front of Lin Guang together, Lin Xue saw the face of the middle-aged man in front of him clearly, he was the same as Dad Lin's melon seed face, his sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, high nose and thick lips, there was an inviolable momentum between his eyebrows, and a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his high nose made him elegant and shrewd.

Lin Xue looked at him and raised the corners of her mouth, there was no smile in her eyes: "Big uncle."

Lin Guangshu unfolded his original frown: "Xuexue, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown taller and become more beautiful."

Lin Xue smiled a little perfunctorily: "Hehe."

Lin Guang's eyes swept to Liu Ruxi, who was standing next to Lin Xue, and asked, "Xuexue, is this your cousin?" looks really talented, it's a pity not to be a star. ”

Liu Ruxi saw Lin Guang looking at him, and he smiled lightly: "Hello."

Lin Xue: "Well, he's a distant cousin from my grandmother's house."

Lin Guang: "Xuexue, you haven't come to our house for a long time, you should have more contact with An An and grandparents."

Lin Xuepi smiled and didn't smile: "Well, I know, uncle." She turned her head and handed Liu Ruxi a bunch of keys in her hand, and said to him, "Liu Ruxi, go and help me close the door."

Liu Ruxi took the key: "Well, okay."

Lin Guang looked in the direction of Liu Ruxi and asked Lin Xue: "Xuexue, I remember that your grandmother's surname is Li, and your grandfather's surname is Wang, how many relatives does your distant cousin have to be separated from you before he is surnamed Liu?"

When Lin Xue heard him ask, her heart suddenly "chuckled", and Lin Xue was a little panicked: Oops, how should I answer this black-bellied and cunning uncle now?!!

Lin Xue's nails poked into the palm of her hand, and she replied, "He is the son of my grandmother's cousin's son."

Lin Guang stared at Lin Xue's big black and white eyes, and he asked a little suspiciously, "Huh?" Is it? ”

Lin Xue nodded twice: "Well, yes."

Liu Ruxi locked the small door, and he walked over with a brown shopping bag in his left hand.

Lin Guang looked at Liu Ruxi and asked, "Your name is Liu Ruxi, right?" I'll call you Ah Xi from now on, right?"

Liu Ruxi smiled casually: "You are free."

Lin Guang: "Okay, Ah Xi, wait a minute, you can sit in the co-pilot, and let the three of them all sit in the back."

Liu Ruxi: "Yes, okay."

Lin Guang: "Then let's get in the car now."

Lin Anan opened the rear door on the left and sat in first, Zhang Mei reached out and opened the rear door on the right and squeezed in, she sat in the middle of the back seat of the car, beckoned to Lin Xue and said, "Xuexue, what are you still standing stupidly for?" Hurry up and get in! ”

Lin Xue glanced at Liu Ruxi, who was standing next to him and had opened the passenger door.

Liu Ruxi motioned Lin Xue to hurry in with her eyes, she winked mischievously at him, then bent down and sat in the car and closed the door.

The car door closed, Lin Xue smelled a familiar smell of men's cologne, the smell of this perfume was very light, and Lin Xue could also smell a vague smell of smoke in the carriage.

Once when Lin's father had a birthday, Lin's mother went to buy a bottle of cologne and gave it to Lin's father, and Lin Xue knew that this perfume had a nice name since then: cologne.

Lin Xue looked at the 97 underwear store through the car window, there are as many customers today as usual, Aunt Chen has opened a total of 4 97 underwear stores in Y City, Lin Xue thought: The monthly main business income of these 4 stores is not 5 digits but 6 figures. What kind of job will you find to support yourself in the future?

Lin Xue rolled down the window, and the fresh air outside rushed into the car, blowing away the disgusting smell of smoke on the tip of her nose, and the car drove past the Xinyuan commercial building and drove onto the road.

Lin Xue looked out the window at the cars and buildings, in the past few years, many high-rise buildings have been built in Y City, Lin Xue thought: people can't go back to the past, and she can't go back to her childhood.

She didn't have any good feelings for her grandparents' family, soon after Lin Xue was born, she was taken back to her grandmother's house by Lin Ma's mother, and Lin Dad's followed Lin Guang to open a factory in City B. Lin Guang and Lin Guang both taught themselves the relevant knowledge of making molds, Lin Guang proposed to Lin Dad: The two of them will open a factory for processing and making bicycle parts and plastic bottle cap parts, and the two brothers will be the boss together.

Dad Lin didn't have any opinions, but he trusted his only brother very much, and he quickly agreed to Lin Guang's proposal.

Lin Guang is a smart and sleek man, he has made many friends in Y City, both local and foreign, he quickly got a lot of money from these friends, he rented a small factory in City B, and recruited many workers, he let his kind and cowardly brother become the legal representative of this Guangfei mold processing factory, but he became the owner of this factory.

Guangfei mold processing factory in Lin Guang's dedicated management slowly on the right track, Lin Dad received a lot of customers commissioned to make mold orders, the two brothers finally tasted the sweetness of making money, money is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, rolling into their accounts.

Lin Xue heard Lin Ma say that she left Lin Xue at her grandmother's house at that time, and went to B City to visit Lin Dad, in those years, Guangfei Mold Factory was getting bigger and bigger in B City, Lin Dad did not need to manage the factory like Lin Guang, he only needed to supervise and guide the workers how to use various machine tools and countless tools to make qualified products.

The days of having plenty of pockets did not continue, I don't know if it was because Lin Guang had his grandfather's blood in his body, and he, like his grandfather, was addicted to gambling.

Lin Ma later mentioned to Lin Xue that during that time, Lin Guang often took a snakeskin bag to the bank to withdraw money, and after taking out a bag of money, he ran to gamble, but when he gambled money, how could he let him win every time?

Lin Guang began to embezzle public funds, and he borrowed money from Lin's father to gamble, he was like a madman with red eyes, he only knew that he was like a machine, taking money to gamble wildly.

There are many things that Lin Ma did not explain to Lin Xue in detail, and Lin Xue also knew nothing about these things, she only knew that her father had taken a large amount of debt for her eldest uncle.

Later, Lin's father returned to his hometown of Y City, where he rented a shop in the carpentry market in Y City and continued to earn money to support his family by making processing molds.

When Lin Xue was just promoted to junior high school, Lin Guang returned to Y City from other places, and with the introduction and help of Fa Xiao, he became the general manager of Minglian Hotel, and he was like a fish in water.

Lin Guang's wife, Zhang Mei, is also from Y City, and Lin Xue and Lin Anan also played together when they were children.

Lin Xue has been living at her grandmother's house from birth to the age of six, and only during the New Year and holidays, Lin Mama will take Lin Xue back to her grandfather's house to play.

Lin Anan grew up under the care and love of her grandparents since she was a child, she will always be like a proud princess in front of Lin Xue, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Xue's grandparents are eccentric, although the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, but the meat in the palms is still softer than the meat on the backs of the hands.

Since childhood, Lin Dad is not as smart and capable as Lin Guang, and when he grows up, Lin Dad is not as tall and handsome as Lin Guang, Lin Xue's grandparents' hearts have long been biased towards Lin Guang's side, after Lin Guang married Zhang Mei with a good family in Y City, Zhang Mei quickly gave birth to a white and chubby Lin An'an for him, Lin Xue's grandmother Yang Juan regarded Lin An'an as her own heart and soul baby, who made Lin An'an look like herself?

Lin Xue's grandfather, Lin Tingzhi, often took his eldest granddaughter out to play when Lin An'an was very young, and as soon as he met acquaintances, he said to them: "This child is Ah Guang's daughter!"

Lin Xue remembered that once Mama Lin took her back to her grandfather's house to play, and Mama Lin whispered in her ear: "Xiaoxue, let Grandpa hug you!" You let grandpa take you out to play! ”

Little she looked up and saw her grandfather holding her cousin, her grandfather opened a lollipop, he put the pink lollipop into Lin An'an's mouth, Lin Anan tasted the delicious lollipop, "giggle, cluck, cluck" laughed, like the happiest child.

Lin Xue remembered that she and her grandmother handled the funeral of Lin Dad and Lin Ma together, the grandparents and the eldest uncle's family of three sat on the dark green sofa in the hall of their house, Lin Xue served the tea to them one by one, grandma Yang Juan took her to the master room and closed the door on the grounds that she wanted to talk to her, after Yang Juan closed the door, she said to Lin Xue gently: "Xue Xue, just now I saw your grandmother come here to clean up your parents' things, grandma wants to take a look, is it okay?"

Lin Xue felt physically and mentally tired at that time, she didn't know if her body could support it, she heard Yang Juan ask her like this, so she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Lin Xue's grandmother cleaned up some unimportant things, leaving only a pile of papers piled up on the bedside table in the master room.

Yang Juan sat down on the edge of the bed, she took the pile of documents and quickly flipped through them, I don't know how long it took, she raised her head and beckoned to Lin Xue, motioning for Lin Xue to sit down next to her.

After Lin Xue sat down next to her, Yang Juan gently patted Lin Xue's back and said, "Xue Xue, this will all pass, you have to live strongly, your parents are gone... What they can't do now, you have to help them do it, you look at the piece of paper I am holding in my hand, you have to send money to these accounts every month in the future, I was afraid that you would forget just now, so I used a pen to write the amount of money you should pay each month behind these accounts, hey! Fortunately, your father used to buy such a good land with a small amount of money, and now you have thousands of rents to collect every month, and your uncle now has to provide a house and make money for your sister to study, and your grandfather and I have a pitiful amount of pension every month, so we can't come up with the money to pay off your uncle's debts, so you will pay us back for a while, and when your uncle has money, he will pay back all the money he owes to your father, and your father has paid off his debts for so long, and he has kept it in his heart. ”
