Chapter 13: Half-Father

When I got off the bus, the sunset went down the mountain lazily, and the cold wind blew silently from all directions.

Shuanglin County is really cold.

Qi Xing was glad that he had brought three more down jackets.

The three down jackets are packed in a package, and tomorrow morning, according to the promise of the express, they will arrive at the Linyue B&B in Linyue Town.

Although they got off the bus together, everyone's destination was different.

Ma Zhenxing was looking for a mask agent in the more prosperous county, and he returned to Linyue Town in a few days. He had relatives in Shuanglin County, and just before he got out of the platform, a middle-aged man called his name in a strong Shuanglin County accent. Ma Zhenxing pulled the empty box and smiled apologetically at the three of them: "What's the matter, remember to contact the V letter!" ”

Jiaojiao's mother and daughter had to take a bus back to Linyue Town immediately.

Qi Xing wants to stay in Shuanglin County for one night, and then go to Linyue Town slowly.

Jiaojiao reluctantly asked Qi Xing: "Are you really not going to go with us?" ”

Qi Xing was wearing a mask, and his nice voice was a little low: "No." ”

After saying that, he pulled the box without looking back, and strode towards the hotel opposite the train station. After a long day in the car, he urgently needed a hot shower.

Jiaojiao's mother snorted from her nose: "This person is very proud, ordinary women can't control him." Jiaojiao, you better give up. Three-legged toads are hard to find in the world, but there are many two-legged men. Your aunt can say it, now the status of unmarried women in Linyue Town is extremely high, there is no 100,000 dowry, no car and no house, and the matchmaker disdains to pay attention to it. Even the status of the women in Lin Yue Town is so high, are you afraid that a girl from a big city will not be able to marry? ”

But there is a trace of unwillingness in my heart. Even in big cities, it is difficult to meet a man like Qi Xing.

The mother and daughter caught the last train from Shuanglin County to Linyue Town, and as night fell, Jiaojiao's mother's heart began to pound. It has been ten years since she left Linyue Town, and she is still a little apprehensive about her hometown.

It was no longer possible to see the passing scenery clearly, Jiaojiao sat on the seat and asked her mother in a soft voice, "Mom, is this really good?" ”

Jiaojiao's mother didn't have a high voice, but she was ruthless: "That piece of land belongs to your grandfather, and he built a house on it without asking me." Now we don't want that piece of land, but he's going to give us the money. "She has already settled outside, and it is impossible for her to return to Lin Yue Town all the way to manage that land, so it is better to simply sell it to Lin Quan.

"However, according to this calculation, sister, Sister Lin Yue also has a share."

Jiaojiao has never seen her grandfather, Lin Quan, or Lin Yue. But from her mother's mouth, she is becoming more and more familiar with her mother's ex-husband Lin Quan and her half-sister Lin Yue.

Jiaojiao's mother, that is, Lin Quan's ex-wife, Lin Yue's biological mother Li Minghui snorted: "That's your grandfather's land, I have the final say, what does it have to do with Lin Yue?" ”

Jiaojiao's voice was small: "Mom hasn't paid child support for so many years......" Not to mention that when her grandfather passed away, she was having a high fever, and her mother didn't go back to see her grandfather for the last time in order to take care of her. Although my mother rushed back to attend the funeral, when my grandfather was dying, he might have made some will. After all, after my mother followed my father, my grandfather was taken care of by Lin Yue's sister's father. She came to Linyue Town once ten years, and at that time she only felt that Linyue Town was dilapidated and small, and a street could be completed in ten minutes. In that kind of Linyue Town, what is the land worth? A month ago, my mother heard from my aunt that Lin Quan had opened a homestay for her sister Lin Yue on her grandfather's land, and she couldn't sit still and wanted to come back to settle accounts with Lin Quan. No, as soon as she took a vacation, her mother couldn't wait to pull her back.

Li Minghui didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”

"Didn't say anything."

****

Luo Wushuang looked at the murderer who was tied up by five flowers, and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.

Lin Yue put a full stop, pressed Save, and closed the computer.

Brain pain melon seeds. She gently massaged her temples with her fingers, and it took a few minutes to feel some relief.

It's already six o'clock. said that she would invite everyone to eat hot pot tonight, but Aunt Huang was afraid that she would not be able to be busy, so she had to help.

Thinking of helping, she took off her cashmere coat and replaced it with a short black down jacket.

After changing his clothes, Lin Yue turned off the light, pushed open the door and walked out.

The cold came, and Lin Yue couldn't help but sneeze.

Someone said gently: "It's cold, Shopkeeper Lin should pay more attention to his body." ”

It's Zhang Haotian.

He stood under the persimmon tree, surrounded by a red towel and glasses looking at her reflectively.

At this glance, Zhang Haotian is also gentle, quite temperamental.

Lin Yue raised her lips and smiled at her tenant: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang." I'm going to help Aunt Huang. ”

Zhang Haotian smiled: "There are already a few people squeezed in the kitchen, but I didn't even squeeze in, so I came out to see the night scene." ”

Lin Yue went to the kitchen to take a look, and sure enough, Aunt Huang was the chef, Lin Quan was superintendent, Meiyun was washing vegetables, King Kong was cutting meat, and there was also Lin Zhen, who obviously came to smell the fragrance, and actually went to work early, and was playing games in front of the fireplace at this time while waiting to eat.

Lin Tingting nested at the front desk and lazily called her family: "I'll have dinner here at Sister Yue, you don't have to wait for me." ”

Lin Yue motioned for Lin Zhen to help, put together a few tables, and then spread a green tablecloth to form a large long table. So many people naturally need to use two pots, and Lin Yue asked Lin Tingting to wash two pots and put dishes and chopsticks. Seeing this, Zhang Haotian naturally came over to help put the dishes and chopsticks.

Lin Tingting was working with her hands, and said Lin Zhen in her mouth: "Fat and fat, you are the fattest here, you can't eat more later." You've got to lose weight. ”

Lin Zhenzhen has words: "I have to eat fat to prove that Sister Yue's food here is good." ”

Joke, his flesh is all the stuff he worked so hard to eat, okay?

Lin Tingting said: "Look at Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Jin, they are all thin and good-looking. ”

Zhang Haotian hurriedly said: "I'm not thin, I have muscles." ”

Everyone laughed.

The bottom of the pot has been boiled, a spicy pot, a clear soup, and the aroma is overflowing.

Everyone set out the dishes, sat in their own pots, and ate lively.

Lin Yue is the shopkeeper, so he naturally has to take care of everyone. And she sat down at the door, so that she might have something to do.

Zhang Haotian used chopsticks to put a chopstick enoki mushroom into her bowl: "I see that you like to eat enoki mushrooms very much." ”

Lin Yue hurriedly thanked: "I'll just come by myself." ”

Zhang Haotian is still a stranger to her in the end. She wasn't used to strangers suddenly making overtures to her.

But since it's clipped, enoki mushrooms still have to be eaten. Lin Yue was about to eat, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Someone's coming.

Lin Yue put down her rice bowl and went out, and unexpectedly saw Grandma Qingqing holding He Congming in one hand and looking at her with an angry face. Qingqing timidly followed behind and called "Sister Lin".

Lin Yue responded, and politely asked Grandma Qingqing: "Has Auntie eaten?" ”

"I didn't eat it! This little one is always pestering me to ask for my mother, I can't cook, I haven't eaten at noon, and now I'm starving to death! I had to come to you to see if there was anything to eat! ”

said and looked in with a greedy face: "Miss Lin is eating, it's just right, Qingqing, let's take my younger brother over to eat." ”

Lin Yue frowned. She's not stingy, she can invite them to dinner, but Grandma Qingqing's behavior is annoying.

She stretched out her hand and stopped Grandma Qingqing: "You want me to have a meal, no problem, but if you go on like this, you will bring bad children." ”

Grandma Qingqing shook her smart hand, with a fierce face, and said loudly: "The children are going to starve to death, and you have to take care of whether it is good or bad, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva, and you have taken in their sister and brother!" ”
