Chapter 9: The Gift of the Whole State (1)
Early in the morning, Lin Xiyan woke up at 5 o'clock.
It wasn't a long night's sleep, but it was the best night I've had since the trip.
The rain was still pouring down outside the window, but it was already stopping.
The drainage of the community is good, and the wind and rain in the first half of the night only bring some dark green to the ground, as if a carpet has been laid.
By an hour later, the dark clouds in the sky had gradually cleared.
The summer sun shines through the clouds and reflects a colorful halo of water that hangs on the tips of the branches and leaves.
After changing his clothes, Lin Xiyan was ready to move around this community, and pushed open the door just in time to meet Father Jin, who also got up.
"Good morning, uncle."
Father Jin showed an unexpected look, thinking that Lin Xiyan would rest for a while, after all, the journey was tiring, and it was rare to get a good night's sleep.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiyan's ability to complete his studies in just a few years was not just a matter of talent.
"Do you want to run together?" Father Jin invited.
"Okay." Lin Xiyan responded happily.
In the community, the two figures ran slowly, without much communication, only the sound of lifting and falling footsteps.
The rhythmic sound of running echoes in the community after the rain, adding a bit of life to the early morning.
On the way, Father Jin also met a few neighbors who were closer, said hello and continued to exercise separately.
"Whew," Father Jin slowly slowed down, from jogging to walking, "It's really old, unlike Xiyan, you, who haven't even breathed after running for so long." ”
"Uncle, at your age, it's great to have such a body!" Lin Xiyan also slowed down, doing stretching exercises while chatting with Father Jin, "I am also the result of years of exercise. ”
"Speaking of which, without a good body, it is not easy for you to travel the world in the past few years." Thinking of Lin Xiyan traveling around the world, Father Jin deeply thought about it.
After the two finished running, they didn't go home immediately, but stretched their bodies slowly in the community.
"President Kim, is this your son-in-law? I'm in a hurry! On the way, the neighbor's aunt I met just now while running, carrying the bought talent, walked over head-on.
Seeing Father Jin and Lin Xiyan talking and laughing, their curiosity rose infinitely.
"Ani, if I had such a good son-in-law, I would wake up laughing from my dreams." Father Kim waved his hand and told the neighbor not to guess.
"Anihasai has," although he had some Jeonju accents, Lin Xiyan also understood what was said, and greeted him awkwardly and politely.
"Ah Yigu, he is still a young man who is easy to be shy, do you have a daughter? Do you want your aunt to introduce you to one? ”
Without saying a word, Lin Xiyan had the urge to run away.
"Alright, don't scare my guests!" Father Jin watched the scene for two minutes and finally stood up.
"Ah Yigu, I won't say it." The neighbor's aunt also knew how to advance and retreat, so she stopped joking and said, otherwise it would be too rude.
"Xiyan, let's go back!" After Father Jin finished speaking, he also quietly quickened his pace.
When Lin Xiyan heard this, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.
He bowed slightly to his aunt, and after saying goodbye, he hurriedly trotted two steps to keep up with Father Jin's footsteps.
At home, Kim Taeyeon, who was going out in the morning, had already gotten up and washed up, helping to make breakfast in the kitchen, and saw Abba and Lim Hee-yan coming back in the distance talking and laughing.
This scene is also inexplicably harmonious, just like a family.
"Good morning, Taeyeon Xi." Lim Hee-am entered the door and saw Kim Tae-yeon who was bringing breakfast to the table.
"Morning," Taeyeon nodded politely.
A moment of silence followed, and the two who met for the first time didn't seem to have anything to talk about.
"Taeyeon, come in and take the rest out!"
Kim Mu's words were like a life-saving straw, and when Kim Taeyeon heard it, she hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
......
At the dining table, the Kim family and Lin Xiyan were eating breakfast, and Lin Xiyan's state of eating made Jin's mother feel very happy, and even Kim Taeyeon seemed to be driven to eat twice the usual amount.
"You still have to be young people to eat!" Father Jin felt that just watching Lin Xiyan eat could also increase his appetite.
"By the way, is Uncle going to drive Taeyeon Xi to Seoul?" Lin Xiyan finished the last bite and wiped his mouth clean and asked.
"Well, yes, the eldest son Zhiyong doesn't have time, only my father has come out in person!" Father Kim nodded, and immediately continued, "Xiyan, you are 9 years older than Taeyeon, you don't need to use honorifics, just call Taeyeon." ”
Lim Hee-am turned his head to look at Kim Tae-yeon.
"No problem, I'll call you Xiyan oppa!" When Kim Taeyeon heard her father say this, she immediately changed her name to Lim Hee-yan.
"Okay, Taeyeon, then that's what I'll call you." Lin Xiyan is not entangled.
"Then we're ready to go! Anyway, you also live in Seoul, so I will trouble you to take care of our family Taeyeon more when the time comes. When Father Kim saw that everyone had eaten, he got up and prepared to carry Kim Taeyeon's luggage downstairs.
Lin Xiyan hurriedly got up to help, and after moving the luggage, Lin Xiyan went back to the room and took out 8 small boxes and handed them to Kim Taeyeon.
"I still have a few small gifts, and I want to trouble Taeyeon, you can help me bring them back!"
"It's your good friends who were trainees in the SM?" Looking at the 8 small boxes in her hand, Kim Taeyeon thought to herself, you are really a bit of a kid.
"Inside, just give it to Sika, Jessica will do it, they will distinguish themselves." Lin Xiyan said with a smile.
Seeing Lin Xiyan smiling, Kim Taeyeon was a little curious about what was in this small box.
"What is in this?"
"This one!" Lin Xiyan didn't hide it, he took one out of it directly and opened it for Kim Taeyeon to see.
A keychain and a clay doll hanging from it, nothing special.
"This is when I was playing in Lizhou, I saw a small handicraft made by people from my country, so I asked the boss to teach me to do it according to the characteristics of several of them!" Lin Xiyan explained.
"Agassi, what a beautiful doll!" Xiao Xia Yan looked at the puppet in Ernie's hand and slowly moved to the edge of Lin Xiyan.
"Thank you for the compliment, and I will give Xia Yan one next time I have the opportunity." After a short time together, Xia Yan was not as afraid of people as she was when she first met yesterday, and Lin Xiyan secretly gave a full score to his affinity.
"It's so cute!" Kim Taeyeon looked at the little dolls, a little envious, and remembered them when she went out, "I'll give them the gifts." ”
"Then it's troublesome." Lin Xiyan bowed slightly.
"Taeyeon, did you bring everything?" Father Kim returned from downstairs to double-check if there was anything missing.
"I've brought them all, and there's a gift from Xiyan OPPA for me to help bring back." Kim Taeyeon raised the pouch in her hand.
"What do you arrange for Xiyan today?" Father Jin turned his head and asked.
"I'm going to fix the car first, then take a look around Jeonju, and then go to the next city tomorrow." Lin Xiyan thought for a moment.
"Then you should stay at my house today, and I will be able to come back in the evening." Father Jin thought that it was rare to have someone who could have a good chat with him, and maybe they could have a drink together in the evening, so he warmly invited Lin Xiyan to stay for one more night.
"Then what's embarrassing, I already bothered my uncle and aunt last night." Lin Xiyan was embarrassed to refuse.
To be honest, I was lucky to be taken in for the night yesterday.
If it weren't for Jin's father, Lin Xiyan would probably have to reach the urban area of Quanzhou in the middle of the night, and as for finding a hotel to stay, it would be even more bottomless.
"It's okay, you're here, and the old man's mood is much better than usual." Jin Mu said with a smile.
"Yes, Xiyan oppa, you can stay for another night, I see that Abba is in a good mood this morning." Kim Taeyeon thought of the happy smile of Kim's father when the two of them came back from running in the morning, so she also persuaded her.
Seeing that several people were invited like this, Lin Xiyan thought about it and no longer refused, so he agreed.
So, Kim's father drove Kim Tae-yeon towards Seoul, while Lim Hee-am followed the instructions towards the bicycle repair shop.
The rain continued overnight, and there was still a little water on the road outside, and the fast-moving cars swept away the residual moisture and brought up the leaves that had been knocked off by the rain.
At this time, it is only 8 o'clock in the morning, and the girls in Seoul are estimated to have not gotten up yet, and they not only have to practice every day, but also take care of their studies, and the pressure is not ordinary.
Therefore, for the gifts that Kim Taeyeon helped deliver, Lin Xiyan did not notify him by phone, and he did not even send a text message.
When Kim Taeyeon arrives, she will naturally know, so take it as a surprise!
After pushing the car for more than half an hour, Lin Xiyan found the car repair shop that Jin's father told him in the morning, saying that the craftsmanship was not bad and the price was cheap.
"President Nim, did someone cheat me on this chain I bought?" Lin Xiyan looked at the few broken chains, his face was not very good, and he always felt like he had been deceived.
If it weren't for Father Jin driving back to pick him up, yesterday's life would have been really difficult.
The owner of the garage is also a first-time cyclist, and several chains are scrapped almost at the same time.
Frowning and examining carefully, Lin Xiyan waited quietly on the side, waiting for the conclusion.
