Chapter 41: Just Roommates?
In silence, Lin Xuemin drove the two to the old community.
"Which building?"
"Building Five, Unit Three."
After just two sentences of dialogue, the atmosphere fell silent again, and Lin Xuemin found a vacant seat downstairs to park the car, and then helped move things.
A few folding tables, a few small maza, and a large suitcase, which Lin Xuemin brought.
Either hugging or carrying, the three of them walked upstairs silently, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
But Lin Luo knew that this belonged to the calm before the storm, and in view of this, he could only think optimistically: Anyway, the old man will stay for one night at most, and he will fool the past with a string of confessions tonight, and everything will be fine.
Entering the house, Lin Xuemin put down the things in his hand, looked around in the living room, and then pointed to the suitcase, "These are all thick clothes that your mother asked me to bring you, the season has changed, she is afraid that you will freeze, and then there is some food and drink." ”
Speaking of this, he leaned over and opened the suitcase again, took out a rice cooker from it, and wrapped it in a plastic bag, "This is the fish I caught yesterday, it's a big one, your mother cooked it, let me bring it to you to eat, just heat it when you want to eat it." ”
Lin Luo stretched out his hand and took the rice cooker, "Dad, let's eat this fish tonight." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the box again, "Then there is cured beef, and there is mash, just enough for us to eat." ”
"Then you go and heat this fish, this is the wire of the rice cooker."
Lin Xuemin took out another wire from the suitcase and handed it over, watched Lin Luo carry the rice cooker into the kitchen, and then turned his head, the girl was standing in place in her pajamas, with a tense face and a very serious look.
Facing Jiang Li's gaze, he looked away a little unnaturally.
Lin Xuemin is not a person who is not good at words, whether it is in the face of subordinates or leaders, he can talk and laugh freely, and when he has a meeting, he can talk endlessly.
But in the face of such a girl, he was like a mute, and he really didn't know what to say.
Jiang Li didn't talk even less, and the two of them just stood silently in place, no one made a sound, as if they were acting in a mime.
Waiting until Lin Luo came out of the kitchen, he beckoned the two of them to sit down, "Dad, you two are sitting, why are you standing?" ”
So the two of them sat down on the sofa, and the two eyes looked at Lin Luo together, watching him take out the mash from the box, take out the cured beef, and watch him enter the kitchen again.
It's still a mime, except that the performers change from standing to sitting.
After sitting silently for a while, Lin Xuemin finally couldn't bear to get up and raised his feet into the kitchen.
Lin Luo was boiling the morroe in it, which was brewed by his mother herself, and it was full of the large glass bottles that filled it with orange juice.
Mash is the local name, and it should be called rice wine in other places, but it is rice wine, but the taste is sweet and sour, there is no wine taste, and there is no degree.
According to local customs, some retort cakes will be added to it and boiled and eaten.
But it's okay to drink it alone, and there is no extra pot at home, so he unscrewed the lid, poured most of the pot into the pot, and pressed the induction cooker switch to heat.
Seeing Lin Xuemin come in, Lin Luo had a filial and good face, "Dad, it's okay, you don't have to help, you go out and sit and rest for a while, I'll just come here myself." ”
Lin Xuemin didn't come to help, he didn't want to go out, he looked at the gauze on Lin Luo's head and asked, "What's going on on your head?" ”
"I accidentally fell a few days ago, it's not serious, it's a skin injury."
"That's why you haven't made a video call to your mother for the past few days?"
"Well, isn't that afraid that you two will be worried?"
Lin Xuemin's lips moved and said, ".... Your mom is worried, but I'm not worried. ”
"Hmm."
Lin Luo knew that this was the old man's face that he couldn't pull down, or he was still angry in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer this after all, so he could only hum.
Lin Xuemin looked around in the kitchen and stirred up another topic, "You two still cook and eat by yourself?" ”
"Don't worry about doing it yourself."
"Who usually cooks?"
"It depends."
Lin Luo can only say that it depends on the situation, she hasn't learned it yet, I teach while doing it, and when the emperor learns it, she will do it.
"Oh..."
Lin Xuemin nodded, glanced outside, and quickly withdrew his gaze, his lips squirmed for a while, and finally asked in a low voice: "That girl.... What's wrong with her? ”
Here it comes.
Lin Luo said in his heart, let himself relax as much as possible, and pretended to be calm: "It's nothing, we are roommates." ”
"Just roommates?"
This is just very spiritual, Lin Luo turned his head, frowned and said: "Dad, what you asked.... What do you mean by just sharing a roommate? Could it be that she can still be my girlfriend? ”
"She's not?"
"It's not."
“......”
Lin Xuemin stared at him for a moment, and then asked, "Then why is she wearing your cow pajamas?" ”
"Who said that the pajamas she wore were mine, and other people also had exactly the same thing, clothes, how many pieces of clothes could not be made when the factory machine sounded? How normal is it to bump into a shirt? If I had worn a skirt before, would it be my girlfriend who wore the same dress on the street? ”
"You've worn a skirt before?"
“........”
“.......”
The atmosphere was suddenly quiet.
After a few seconds, Lin Luo turned his head and asked, "Dad, can we have a good chat?" I'll give you an example. ”
"But the pajamas she wore were obviously a lot bigger, and the cuffs were all pulled up, so it wasn't hers at first glance."
"That's called loose, not big. Nowadays, it is popular to buy large-sized clothes, especially pajamas, the bigger the more comfortable they are. ”
“.......”
Lin Xuemin smacked his lips, he didn't know what to say, he instinctively felt that this kid was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but that expression, that demeanor, and that tone were all as if they were real, and there was no flaw at all.
"What about your pajamas, take them out and let me see them, and I'll believe you when you take them out."
Lin Luo's face didn't change, "It's been a long time since I've worn that pajamas, who knows where to put it?" Xu threw it at home, and I didn't bring it with me, or you go back and ask my mother to see where my mother took it for me. ”
Lin Xuemin stared at him for another moment, skipping the topic, "What does that girl do?" ”
"Stalls."
"When you are still studying, you will come out to set up a stall?"
"Her family conditions are not good, she dropped out of school halfway, and she is forced to live."
"Underage?"
"No, when you are an adult, you just look tender."
“........”
Hearing this, Lin Xuemin's face softened slightly, no matter what the relationship between the two is, at least the other party is an adult.
"What about you, what's the matter with you? How do you set up a stall with others? Can't find a job? ”
Lin Luo hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "I haven't found it yet, so I'll come out and set up a stall first, and then she just happens to make money to make a living, and the two of us hit it off." ”
"Heh, you're going out with an open mind, it's hard for you to be able to pull this face."
