Chapter 1 Linyue Town B&B
The night mixed with the cold gradually surrounded, and the sparsely populated Lin Yue Town couldn't wait to quiet down.
The winter night in Linyue Town is so cold that it is heart-wrenching.
At the east end of Linyue Town, there is a B&B. The name is also simple, it is called Lin Yue B&B.
Lin Yue B&B is a five-story self-built house, and the first floor has a whole wall of glass windows.
In the B&B, the soft lights were on, and a seven or eight-year-old girl in a thin school uniform timidly picked up the door of the B&B and looked inside.
The shopkeeper, Sister Lin, is not here......
But a warm feeling seemed to be pouring out of the homestay.
Qingqing saved, Sister Lin made a fireplace in the courtyard on the first floor.
It was so cold, Sister Lin must have lit a fireplace inside.
Qingqing suddenly plucked up her courage and walked into the homestay.
Sure enough, the courtyard on the first floor was warm and the fireplace was burning. On the wooden floor, on a lazy couch that sat comfortably, there was a short-haired woman flipping through a book. To the right of the woman is a dense wall of books.
Qingqing was a little disappointed, isn't it Sister Lin......
The wooden floor was wiped clean, Qingqing looked down at her dirty shoes, and didn't dare to step on them.
Still, it's better to go home.
Although Sister Lin said that as long as she wants to come, she can come at any time.
But she didn't want to go home......
Qingqing bit her lip and nestled in the corner of the partition between the first floor and the courtyard, staring blankly at the fireplace.
A female voice outside was shouting her name: "Qingqing, Qingqing!" ”
It's Mom's voice.
But Qingqing didn't want to respond.
Just now, her mother slapped her again, blaming her for not taking good care of her brother, and she ran out of the house.
Mom's voice got closer: "Qingqing, are you inside?!" ”
Qingqing pursed her lips tightly.
Mom seemed to stop at the door of the B&B: "Shopkeeper Lin, Shopkeeper Lin!" ”
The people in the town all called Sister Lin to be the shopkeeper of Lin.
But behind the scenes, my mother called Sister Lin an old girl.
Sister Lin is thirty years old and has not yet married. But my mother is younger than Sister Lin, but she is already eight years old.
Mom looks down on Sister Lin very much.
Last time, she picked herself up from the B&B, and she couldn't wait to educate her on the way: "In the future, you can't be like her, you are old and haven't married yet." She is old, she can't have children in the future, and when she gets old, no one will serve her, maybe she just wants to let you raise her with a little favor to you! ”
Qingqing didn't speak. What is my mother talking about, she is ignorant, she seems to understand.
Last time, Sister Lin just couldn't look past it, and took her in for a while, why did her mother say that Sister Lin couldn't have children.
Sister Lin looks very young and good-looking. At least much younger than my mother. Qingqing secretly thought in her heart, but didn't dare to say anything.
Mom was still shouting outside: "Shopkeeper Lin, Shopkeeper Lin!" ”
The woman sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book reacted and responded: "Shopkeeper Lin has gone to the town health center!" ”
The shopkeeper Lin's father was unwell a few days ago and has been living in the health center for several days.
Mom muttered outside: "Is Qingqing really not inside?" ”
It's quiet outside.
Mom looks down on Sister Lin, so she shouldn't come to the homestay to look for her.
Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still wants to go home in the end, she is also very satisfied to have a moment of peace. The messy home, the endless crying of her brother, and the roar and slap of her mother all made her young heart tremble.
She covets Sister Lin's warmth here.
Just thinking about it, she suddenly saw a chubby figure rushing towards her, and the man's face was ugly: "You are really here!" ”
It's Mom!
Qingqing was frightened, and without taking off her shoes, she stepped on the polished wooden floor. Yes! The floor of Sister Lin's house was trampled on by her! Qingqing panicked, looking down at the footprints on the floor. Soon, her mother grabbed her and roared: "Don't think that people will stand up for you!" You are my daughter, and it is not her turn Lin Yue to point fingers at me! "Lin Yue is Sister Lin's name.
The woman sitting on the lazy sofa looked at the mother and daughter in surprise and stood up: "Who are you?" ”
The woman has a slender figure, short chestnut hair, and a pearl stud earring on her earlobe. She was wearing a gray sweater and cardigan, her face was vivid, and her red lips were bright, which made Qingqing's mother feel ashamed for a moment.
But those who are mixed with Lin Yue are not good people.
This woman must be the same as Lin Yue, she is not married and has children, and she is not dragged down by firewood, rice, oil and salt, so she can dress herself up beautifully.
Qingqing's mother suddenly became upright again. She glared at the short-haired woman, and her tone was very impulsive: "My family Qingqing hid in your homestay, I worked hard outside to find her, and you didn't say a word!" It's easy for me to find! ”
The short-haired woman's gaze first fell on Qingqing's mother, and saw that her chubby body was covered with a heavily stained winter coat, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and her face was full of resentment.
As for the little girl...... The short-haired woman looked at her head all the time, but she still felt that she was cramped and uneasy.
Poor little girl.
The short-haired woman smiled kindly at Qingqing's mother: "I'm sorry, I was reading a book just now and didn't notice her." ”
She raised the book in her hand.
A delicate and lazy woman, a warm fireplace, a wall full of books, a polished wooden floor, a strange-looking lazy sofa, and a persimmon sticking in the vat...... All this is something that Qingqing's mother has never seen and is unfamiliar. She got married at the age of seventeen, her in-laws' conditions are not good, the new house is still a rough house that has not been painted, and she has been married for so many years and has not been renovated. After giving birth to a baby, the house was full of baby clothes, as well as bottles and cans, and she was even more lazy to clean up.
Laugh at! Only women who have never given birth to a baby enjoy it like this!
Qingqing's mother, who gave birth to a baby, became confident again, glared at the short-haired woman, and pulled Qingqing's clothes fiercely: "Hurry up and go home for me!" In order to come out to find you, I haven't fed the pigs yet! ”
Qingqing shuddered for a moment. When she goes back, will her mother beat her again!
Qingqing's mother added: "Don't drill into this homestay all day long!" ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the short-haired woman meaningfully.
The short-haired woman was stunned, and Qingqing's mother looked at her gaze as if she was looking at ......
She is not a good person, and immediately turned grim: "Hey, you ......"
Qingqing's mother dragged Qingqing out fiercely.
Leaving the warm B&B, it was suddenly a little cold outside.
Qingqing's mother pushed Qingqing, who was thin, fiercely: "There are no good people in this homestay!" If you drill into this B&B a few more times, you may not be able to see your mother! Sold by someone! ”
This Linyue Town is not a tourist attraction, it has always been sparsely populated, how can there be any tourists? Lin Yue, an older single young woman who can come back from other places, has opened a homestay!
She has heard others say that this homestay has been open for a year, and there are only dozens of guests.
What's the difference between this and idleness?
The two seemed to be walking away, and the short-haired woman sighed, put away the book, took the mop, and began to mop the ground.
It was only halfway through the delay when a soft voice sounded: "Meiyun, I'm back." ”
