Chapter Seventy-Five: The Story of Tea Eggs (I)
The little one feels very innocent, really innocent.
Obviously, he was gloating in Lin Siyin's arms just now, but he was inexplicably surrounded by a group of gray-haired old people in the middle, and he almost cried before he could take back his gloating expression.
"This doll is so cute. ”
"Siyin, whose baby is this? ”
"Oh, it's my friend's. Lin Siyin pointed at Qin Lin.
"Oh......" The old lady nodded, but in fact she just asked casually, took out a carton of milk from her little bag, and teased it in front of the little one's eyes.
Qin Lin clasped his arms in his hands, smiled and stood by looking at Lin Siyin and the little guy, and ignored the little guy's eyes looking at him for help.
From these old people, Qin Lin didn't feel any malice, they were just some old people who liked children, and it could be seen from the milk and other things that children liked from their hands from time to time.
It was hard to imagine that in this era, ordinary neighborhoods could treat a little girl with such kindness, and Qin Lin couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Can't blame the lack of human nature, it can only be said that without the maintenance of the village in the past, everyone goes out and looks down and doesn't look up, like in the community, many people even if they live in a building, it is difficult to have contact, so subconsciously, everyone will be wary of strangers, which is a common problem.
This is the reason for the so-called weak human nature in modern society, there is actually no reason to criticize this and that, so Qin Lin looked at Lin Siyin.
smiled, if there are people who can ignore these, it should only be Siyin.
Some people's sincerity and kindness can really penetrate people's hearts.
"Grandparents don't talk about it, the two of us are a little hungry, and we haven't even eaten lunch. ”
Lin Siyin took a step back, and for ten minutes Qin Lin stayed beside him in a daze, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, and said to the old people in front of him.
When the old people heard that Lin Siyin hadn't eaten lunch yet, they nodded very understandingly, waved their hands, and asked Lin Siyin to be careful and look at the road.
I kept telling him, and I talked for a whole minute, and when it came to the back, the little guy was also a little impatient, babbling a few times, and the old people looked at it, smiled, and didn't plan to disturb, and said goodbye to Lin Siyin.
"Hmmmm......!
The little guy learned Qin Lin to hug his arms, pouted angrily, and moved his head to the side, looking very angry.
It's like saying, the baby is angry, come and comfort the baby or something.
Qin Lin naturally knew what the little guy was thinking, smiled, and slapped the little guy's head, "What's there to be angry about." ”
"Babble, babble!"
The little guy drew a circle very seriously, and he meant that everyone was around him, making himself very unaccustomed.
"Hahahaha. ”
Qin Lin laughed and shook his head, "Little guy, when someone expresses kindness to himself, don't use malice to repay others, understand?"
"Huh?"
The little guy had an incomprehensible look on his face, kindness, malice, what was that?
Qin Lin didn't speak, just patted the little guy's head and smiled, there are some things, when he grows up a little, he will naturally understand.
Looking at Lin Siyin, Qin Lin smiled and said, "Let's go, if it's a little later, it's better to eat dinner directly." ”
"Oh, yes!"
Lin Siyin nodded, when she saw Qin Lin educating children, she felt very serious and handsome.
It's just a casual admiration, Lin Siyin didn't take it to heart, although she is a little handsome, but so what, she is not a nymphomaniac.
The two of them chatted, Lin Siyin let out a soft laugh along the way, and greeted the pedestrians he met on the road by the way, basically, on this street, anyway, with what Qin Lin saw, even if it was a guy who looked full of meat, after seeing Lin Siyin, he would put on the most natural smile.
A smile without malice.
Qin Lin followed beside him, with a slight feeling in his heart, and followed Lin Siyin, at the corner, Lin Siyin suddenly paused, and Qin Lin also stopped and looked towards the place where Lin Siyin was looking.
I saw a thin old lady, sitting on a small chair, with a small coal stove in front of her, and a pressure cooker placed on it.
The weather in October is not too cold, but if it is outside, it is obviously not too wonderful to sit all the time, and it is obvious that the old lady in front of her, wearing a military coat that is not too heavy and has been worn out and cannot be seen color, has been sitting here for a long time.
"Wait a minute. ”
Lin Siyin handed the little guy to Qin Lin, and took out a small storage bag from his jacket pocket, and there was a sound of coins colliding inside, it was obvious that this was the bag that Lin Siyin was holding money.
"Grandma Zhang, here are six tea eggs!"
Lin Siyin shouted to the old lady who was bowing her head and pretending to sleep.
Hearing this voice, after three or four seconds, Grandma Zhang raised her head, squinted her eyes, and after a while, she completely opened her eyes, at this time, Qin Lin saw that the pupil of this Aunt Zhang's left eye was full of sickly cyan, and it could be seen that this eye could no longer see.
The only remaining right eye saw Lin Siyin, a smile appeared on his yellow face like tree bark, "It's Siyin, today's tea eggs are not bad, by the way, how many do you say?"
"Six!" Lin Siyin repeated sweetly.
"How many?"
"Six!" Lin Siyin's voice was a little higher.
"Oh good, six yes," Grandma Zhang nodded, and then took out a clean and reflective spoon from her sloppy coat that was completely different from her small plastic bag, and took out a napkin from her small cloth bag, wiped it again, and then picked up the lid of her pressure cooker.
What came to his face was the fragrance of tea, obviously, this material was not bad, and Qin Lin pinched the amount of money from Lin Siyin's hand, and it could also be seen that this tea egg was indeed not expensive.
One or two yuan, very fair, if it is in the store, this tea egg has to be sold for at least three yuan, and it cannot be said that people are black, after all, the store has to pay store fees and employee salaries, which is normal.
"Alright, six. ”
Grandma Zhang seriously packed the tea eggs into the plastic bag, and on her yellow face like tree bark, she smiled at Lin Siyin.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhang. ”
Lin Siyin handed over the money, counting the change, twelve yuan, just right, and there was no need to look for it.
And Grandma Zhang didn't take it seriously at all, she just took it, and it could be seen that she believed in Lin Siyin very much, and didn't think that Lin Siyin would lie to her.
This small action made Qin Lin see that Lin Siyin had not bought tea eggs here once or twice.
Very strange, Qin Lin touched his chin, habitually knocked on the watch cover, opened his eyes, and looked at the old lady, suddenly, Qin Lin's expression froze, and his expression was a little inexplicable when he looked at the old lady.
Lin Siyin didn't notice this look, but how could the little guy who had been paying attention to Qin Lin not see it, but he didn't make a sound, he just felt a little strange.
"Is there only five hours of yang life?"
Qin Lin narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low voice, seeing the vitality in the old man's body, he could calculate it with a little calculation.
In layman's terms, it is the end of the oil and the lamp.
"Thank you. ”
Lin Siyin took the plastic bag of tea eggs and smiled sweetly, then waved his hand to Qin Lin, signaling that he should go.
Naturally, he dialed a tea egg, Lin Siyin put the eggshell in another plastic bag, did not throw it away, looked at Qin Lin, who was holding the little guy behind him, and dialed another one, and turned the yellowed egg to Qin Lin.
"Oh, do you want to eat?"
Qin Lin smiled, watching Lin Siyin's action of turning his head and handing him the tea eggs, he had some feelings, and nodded, "Okay, but eating too many tea eggs is not good for your health." ”
"It's okay," Lin Siyin handed the tea egg to Qin Lin, but when he saw Qin Lin holding the little guy with both hands, he made a move, his face was a little shy, he thought about it, and directly stuffed the tea egg into Qin Lin's mouth.
Qin Lin didn't refuse, he just ate it in one bite, and after chewing it, he asked, "Then what will you do later?" Can you still eat so many tea eggs?"
"Of course, I only eat one at a time. ”
Lin Siyin stuck out her tongue.
"A? What should I do if there is an extra one?" Qin Lin was a little puzzled, Lin Siyin didn't give him an answer at this time, but soon, a middle-aged man on the side of the road who looked a little stupid sat on the steps of the street like a daily routine homework, saw Lin Siyin, and walked over.
"I'm sorry, I don't have time to come out during this time, so I'll give you a few more today. ”
Very handy, Lin Siyin handed him the tea eggs, the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Siyin, then at Qin Lin, and after glaring at him with warning eyes, his stiff face twitched, wanting to laugh, but the muscles of his face were not under his control, and he put on a funny expression.
"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
Even speaking was a little stiff, Lin Siyin didn't care, smiled, and said that he knew.
And when he was doing this, Qin Lin just watched quietly from the side, listening to Lin Siyin like a middle-aged man telling him to wear more clothes during this time, and the middle-aged man also listened word by word, using his stiff tone to indicate that he knew, and after a while, he repeated it, and after finding that the middle-aged man had memorized it, Lin Siyin nodded with satisfaction and asked him to go home.
Glancing at the middle-aged man limping away, Qin Lin hugged the little guy and didn't say anything, Lin Siyin snorted, and turned around a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I forgot again, let's go eat!"
"Hehe, Grandma Zhang's tea eggs are delicious, but I don't know why her son who was a soldier didn't come home. ”
"The son of a soldier?"
"Yes, Grandma Zhang, he always said that he had a son who was a soldier, but I haven't seen it. ”
Lin Siyin blew her nose and threw the plastic bag where the eggshell was placed just now into the trash, a little incomprehensible.
Qin Lin nodded, signaling that he understood, and then followed Lin Siyin's footsteps and walked into a wonton shop.
