Chapter 16: Mother and Daughter Meet
Coming out of He's house, Lin Yue and Zhang Haotian walked one after the other.
The duo didn't come on an electric bike. After dinner, Lin Yue went to buy sketchpads, paper paints, and paints before the only stationery store in town closed.
Although Linyue Town is remote, the stationery store is still very complete.
Lin Yue came out of the stationery store and saw Zhang Haotian waiting for him at the door.
He said, "I guessed you wouldn't leave them alone." ”
The cold air was cold, Zhang Haotian put his hand in his pocket, looked at Lin Yue, who was also tightly wrapped, and said: "Actually, when I was outside, I volunteered in a children's welfare home. I've seen a lot of kids like smart. ”
Of course, I went with my girlfriend in front of me.
At that time, his ex-girlfriend didn't know that she couldn't give birth, and when she saw children like those who were abandoned by her biological parents because of autism, she secretly said to him: "If I give birth to such a child in the future, I will probably cry to death." But I'd rather work hard myself than send my children here. ”
The past seems to be still vivid, and he and his ex-girlfriend have broken up. A new romance is about to begin.
Zhang Haotian heard Lin Yue say: "Well, there are a lot of children like this. It's just that in the bigger cities, they're better cared for and trained. "And in the remote town of Linyue, people probably just think they are fools. What is there for a fool to be worth the effort?
Lin Yue thought vaguely, it seemed that many years ago, someone had said the same thing about her.
That person was her dearest, but he hurt her the most.
Luckily, she still has her father.
Zhang Haotian suddenly had some thoughts: "In fact, there is no way to solve the financial resources of He Congming's family. Has Shopkeeper Lin ever heard of live broadcasting? ”
Lin Yue stopped and looked at him sideways.
Her voice had a different charm in the tightly wrapped scarf: "I've heard of this and seen it." ”
Zhang Haotian was interested, took a step closer, and stood side by side with Lin Yue: "Actually, I came back this time because I wanted to start a business." Working outside, although the salary is not low, it is not a long-term solution for me who always wants to return to my roots. I have watched a lot of live broadcasts, while farming at home, selling agricultural products, and by the way, driving the villagers to employment. ”
Lin Yue distanced himself from Zhang Haotian without a trace, and nodded: "Your idea is good." ”
Zhang Haotian was even more excited: "I think the B&B of the shopkeeper Lin is very good, very charming, and the three persimmon trees in the yard are also very characteristic of Linyue Town, plus the backyard can also raise chickens and ducks, grow vegetables or something...... Is Shopkeeper Lin willing to cooperate with me......"
"I'm there, it's not suitable." Lin Yue quickly interrupted him, "My father is not in good health and needs to recuperate. "Her job also requires a quiet environment. If Zhang Haotian was live broadcasting all day long, she felt that her brain would not be able to stand it.
Zhang Haotian's enthusiasm was extinguished all of a sudden, and he was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I went too far." ”
Lin Yue raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes brightened: "But if Mr. Zhang needs to cooperate, I will ask Tingting to help you." Tingting's ideas are wild, and her ability to accept new things is also very strong, so she must be a good helper. ”
Thinking of Lin Tingting's trendy green hair, Zhang Haotian was a little sneering: "Okay." I'll thank Shopkeeper Lin first. ”
No matter what, Zhang Haotian still feels that he and Lin Yue have more and more common topics, and their advantage is getting bigger and bigger.
Back at the B&B, Lin Zhen called Lin Yue: "Sister Yue, there are new guests......
Zhang Haotian smiled, went upstairs to take a bath, and left the two sisters and brothers to talk.
Lin Zhen's voice was low: "The new guests seem to know the second uncle and you, and they always feel a little weird." Also, they didn't check in, so they asked us to cook food for them. ”
Lin Yue nodded, indicating that she understood.
She guessed that it might be an acquaintance, but she didn't expect it to be that person.
Lee Ming-hui, her biological mother, her father's ex-wife. What did she do when she came to Linyue Town?
Lin Yue stood at the door, looking at the woman inside through the thin glass door.
Aunt Huang walked behind her gently and whispered, "Shopkeeper Lin, the beef noodles are ready." ”
When Lin Yue heard this, the emotions in his eyes like a thick fog quietly dissipated.
She said to Aunt Huang, "I'll come." Tomorrow, you have to get up early to get busy. "All three guests were too lazy to do it themselves and all booked breakfast for tomorrow.
Aunt Huang left.
Li Minghui said a few words to her daughter, looked at the three persimmon trees, and fell into deep memories.
There was movement in the glass door, Yang Jiaojiao subconsciously looked over, and saw a young woman walking in with a tray of sauerkraut beef powder.
Yang Jiaojiao was stunned.
The young woman is not very beautiful, but there is a special charm between her eyebrows and eyes. Her willow eyebrows were lightly raised, her apricot eyes were like a puddle of autumn water, her thick hair was tied into balls, and her earlobes were adorned with two pearls. It looks like a woman who has come out of an ancient painting.
Li Minghui also looked over and saw her daughter Lin Yue, whom she hadn't seen for many years. The daughter does not look like her, but like her ex-mother-in-law. And Jiaojiao looks like her.
She blurted out, "Didn't I hear that you got into some university?" Why, in the end, I still served dishes to people, and did some work to serve people. ”
Yang Jiaojiao was a little surprised. Mom and sister haven't seen each other for many years, why is the first sentence like this, there is no warmth at all, and it pokes people's hearts.
Lin Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
It's been so many years, and her mother still hasn't changed.
Fortunately, she is no longer the small, isolated and helpless Lin Yue she was back then. She is now a powerful Lin Yue.
Lin Yue put two bowls of sauerkraut beef rice noodles on the table, and said in a light tone: "There is a label on the bowl, indicating the spiciness. After the guests have finished their meal, go to the front desk to check in. ”
Li Minghui choked with anger: "Lin Yue, are you unwilling to even call me Mom?" ”
Lin Yue stood there, looking at Li Minghui. The years are unforgiving, and her beauty-loving mother finally lost to the years and grew old.
Her gaze slowly shifted to the young woman next to her.
Yang Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, I am Jiaojiao, your sister......"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Yue's gaze had already moved away and fell back on Li Minghui: "What are you doing here?" ”
Li Minghui didn't answer her, just sat down at the dinner table, broke the chopsticks and ate the beef noodles, and beckoned Yang Jiaojiao: "Hurry up and eat, the rice noodles in Linyue Town have to be eaten while they are hot." ”
Yang Jiaojiao glanced at Lin Yue coquettishly, seeing that the latter was expressionless, and was attracted by the fragrance of beef powder, she immediately felt hungry and couldn't care about anything, and she also learned from Li Minghui to eat happily.
Li Minghui filled her stomach seven or eight points full, and then said to Lin Yue: "This taste is just average, it was made by the female chef you invited in the store." How can a female chef make a good meal, it is better to quit her and invite a man back. ”
Lin Yue was silent and kept looking at them.
Yang Jiaojiao whispered on the side: "I think it's delicious...... The beef is very tender and flavorful, the sauerkraut is sour and crispy, the rice noodles are soft and glutinous, and the soup is very delicious...... Before the words fell, he received Li Minghui's white eyes.
Li Minghui pulled a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said directly to Lin Yue: "I naturally came back because of something, and I told you that you can't be the master, so call your dad to come." ”
Lin Yue didn't move: "My dad is not in good health, you can tell me something." ”
Li Minghui glanced at her with contempt: "You can't be the master, so call your father." ”
Her behavior reminded Lin Yue of the past that she thought she had forgotten a long time ago.
