Chapter 198: The Old Man
Just when Xia Qiyue was amused and couldn't help laughing, someone behind her called out her name.
"Xia Daya?"
Xia Qiyue was stunned for a moment, but didn't react, thinking that it was someone else, after all, she hadn't used the name Xia Daya since she came here, and she was a little slow to react.
"Xia Daya is really you?"
The man behind him ran over in a few steps, blocked in front of Xia Qiyue and a few others, and shouted again.
Xia Qiyue looked up at the person in front of him, searched in his memory for a while, looked familiar, and called out his name, although it was a nickname, but it was also her name, this must be ......
"Lin Tongsheng, why are you here?" Xia Qiyue accurately said the name of the person in front of him.
Yes, this one, is the childhood sweetheart before the original owner got married, before the disaster year, that is, when he was seventeen years old, he was admitted to the child's birth, the original owner liked him very much, as for whether he liked the original owner or not, it is unknown.
Since the original owner was sold to Lao An's family as a daughter-in-law, the two have never been in contact again, and the original owner was once sad for the person in front of him, but later heard that he went to the county to study and married again.
Speaking of which, the Lin Tongsheng in front of him is related to the Lin family who killed the original owner's father, and he is the son of Lin Xiucai's eldest brother's family.
"It's really you, I didn't expect to see you for a few years, you are so slim!" Lin Jianxin smiled mildly and said, "Since you got married, I haven't seen you again!" ”
Xia Qiyue faced the original owner's white moonlight and cinnabar mole, and couldn't find an attitude towards him for a while, so he could only nod and ask, "Is Lin Tongsheng living in Jiuli Town?" Or is there something wrong with coming over? ”
Lin Jianxin scratched his head: "Why is Lin Tong screaming?" How many students are there? You can still call me Lin Erlang like before! ”
After saying this, without waiting for Xia Qiyue to respond, Xuan'er spoke, "Mother, who is this uncle?" ”
The little guy puffed up his chest and looked up at Lin Jianxin, who was afraid that the other party would snatch his mother away.
Xia Qiyue couldn't help laughing when she looked at her son's cute appearance, touched her son's head, and introduced:
"This is my mother's deceased, you can call him Uncle Lin!"
Xuan'er called out very politely, "Uncle Lin!" ”
Ke'er immediately shouted, "Uncle Lin is good!" ”
When she arrived at Ling'er, she lowered her head, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"These three are my children! Ling'er, Xuan'er, Ke'er! Xia Qiyue introduced Lin Jianxin to his children again, which was also out of politeness.
"Hey! Ok, good, good! That's good! Lin Jianxin responded with a smile, "I didn't bring anything with me when I went out, so let's find a restaurant, and I will invite your mother and son to have a meal, how about it?" ”
It's a little inappropriate to stand on the street and catch up, but Xia Qiyue shook his head, "No, no, we've all eaten, let's have a chance another day!" Lin Tongsheng will go to work first if he has something to do, and we should go home too! ”
Jokes, why did they go out shopping and forget? That's eating too much to eat, where can I still eat, and besides, Xia Qiyue subconsciously didn't want to have more contact with this person.
It's not that I don't look down on others, I want to say that this Lin Tongsheng is still good, gentle and gentle, with just the right demeanor and speech, and there is no abrupt her, let alone any inappropriate behavior, just because he is the original owner's white moonlight and cinnabar mole, and many people know that she wants to avoid it.
Now it seems that people don't have any thoughts about her, knowing that she has children, and there are no superfluous emotions, it should be, the original owner also likes it wishfully.
"That's... I'm already Xiucai, if you really don't want to call me by my name, you can also call me Lin Xiucai! Lin Jianxin scratched his head again and said with some embarrassment.
Xia Qiyue suddenly realized, no wonder people didn't want her to call him Lin Tongsheng, it turned out that everyone was already a talent now.
"Ah, congratulations, I haven't seen you go to the next level all these years, Lin Xiucai!"
Lin Jianxin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and nodded very innocently, "Thank you, thank you!" By the way, do you live here? ”
Xia Qiyue saw that the other party was not maliciously inquiring about their whereabouts, so he generously said, "Yes, after escaping from the famine, I rented a small courtyard in the town to live, what about you?" ”
The two of them unconsciously walked slowly along the street, chatting, Xia Qiyue learned that Lin Jianxin's daughter-in-law and child were attacked by bandits on the way to escape from the famine and died, originally he also had a two-year-old son, but once he lost his daughter-in-law and child, he almost lost his name, and with the help of the clansmen, he slowly got better.
Now, working as a bookkeeper in a restaurant, he only earns 800 clerks a month, barely making ends meet.
He is the second in the family, and the family fled to the capital and was arranged to settle in Xinghua Village, 20 kilometers south of Jiuli Town.
He came out alone to be a bookkeeper, and he couldn't go back and forth every day, and he was looking for a cheap place to live, and he happened to meet Xia Qiyue on the street.
The two men chatted for a while, and the three children quarreled and went to the shop across the street, and it seemed that they were separated.
Lin Jianxin went to find a house, and Xia Qiyue was dragged by his son to a bookstore across the street.
"Little lady, has your child been enlightened at such a young age?" The bookstore owner looked at Xuan'er in amazement and seemed to understand the careful selection of books, and asked Xia Qiyue, who was standing on the side with a smile, in disbelief.
"Unenlightened!" Xia Qiyue answered truthfully.
"That's weird, the old man looked at the kid as if he recognized the words in those books." The owner of the bookstore is actually an old man with a gray beard, dressed as a scholar, if you don't look at his face, you can really think that he is a scholar.
Xia Qiyue smiled and didn't speak, on the other hand, the two daughters looked like they were not interested in books, and Ke'er squatted on the ground and began to play with her dove.
Xia Qiyue waited for a while and didn't see his son coming, so he slowly stepped forward and saw that the little guy was holding a travelogue in one hand and slowly turning the pages of the book with the other, reading seriously.
She probed over and found that there were pictures on this travelogue, although the little guy didn't know how to read, but looking at the pictures, he was very serious, scratching his head for a while, as if he didn't understand, thinking, and then nodding again, as if he understood, like an old pedant.
"Xuan'er, you like to read, don't you?" Xia Qiyue stood next to the child softly and asked.
Xuan'er nodded very sincerely, "Yes, mother, there are a lot of things in the book that I don't know, Xuan'er likes to read them!" ”
Xia Qiyue realized that children in ancient times would be enlightened very early, and Xuan'er liked to read so much, she could consider enlightening the children.
So, he nodded, "Then Xuan'er choose a few books you like, and give them to Xuan'er!" ”
Xuan'er shook her head again, "No need mother, Xuan'er has already read the book, so you don't need to buy it!" ”
Books are so expensive, what if I spend all my mother's money and my sister can't eat?
