Chapter 16: Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night

One night during the summer vacation, it was drizzling. It was nearly the middle of the night, Lin Liu was still painting, and he felt extremely relaxed when he thought that he was about to save enough for his tuition.

"Bang, bang......" There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, which seemed louder in the silent night.

Lin Liu walked inside the gate and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Bang, bang......" There was no sound outside, but it was still knocking.

Lin Liu's heart was pounding, and he thought: "I made money from painting, did I let the thief target me?" "The more I think about it, the more scared I get. Lin Liu woke up her mother and explained the situation to her mother.

"I don't believe in it! Go, go out with me, and see which one is bold. After the mother finished speaking firmly, she got dressed and got out of bed, touched a grappling hook, and asked Linliu to come out and open the door with a flashlight.

After opening the door, Lin Liu shone it with a flashlight, oh my God, Lin Liu trembled with fright. It was an unkempt beggar, his clothes were dirty and torn, his long curly hair covered his face, and he could vaguely see that it was a man.

"It's the Demon Dao (Neuro Patient), let's go, let's close the door and enter the house!" Mother said.

"Let me ...... Let me in. The man spoke.

"What a familiar voice! So who is it? Lin Liu thought, very puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm your father!" The man said sadly.

"Ahh Lin Liu approached in confusion and amazement. "Be careful, don't get close to him, it's not the bad guy impersonating." Mother said. Lin Liu stretched out his hand long, brushed away his messy hair with a flashlight, and showed his face, seeing that it was indeed a familiar face of his father, but that face was much thinner than before, much older, and much haggard. "Dad, come in and talk!" Lin Liu said.

"Can't let him in, let him get out!" Mother said loudly.

"Xinghua, let me go into the house, and then I'll leave." Stone said.

Lin Liu let his father enter the house, and Xinghua didn't stop him.

After Shi entered the house, he told Xinghua and his daughter about his three-year experience.

Shi ran away from home at first due to family disputes and went to a city in the northeast to find a factory to work. Because of my technical skills, I made a lot of money in the first year, and I was preparing to send some of it home. A co-worker invited him to partner in a business, and the co-worker said that the business was easy to make money and made a lot of money, so he invested in it. Starting a business is really profitable. Later, the workers persuaded him to invest more, and he borrowed a lot of money to invest in it. Within a few days, the worker absconded with the money and has not been heard from since. Stone earns money to pay off his debts, and just paid off his debts this year, and he didn't even have money for food, so he walked all the way to beg before returning home. He still feels at home.

After listening to the stone's story, Xinghua gritted her teeth in anger, and hated it so much that she really wanted to stone it to death.

Lin Liu burst into tears and said, "You know that my mother and I have been ...... years How did you get here? You know...... How much have we suffered? Have you thought about it for us? I said in my heart...... I hated you, but how much I miss you? How I envy people to have a father...... Love! Lin Liu couldn't cry anymore.

The stone cried "whining" and said, "I regret it, I am not human, I am sorry for you!" I cried very sadly.

After all, it was a relative, and under the persuasion of Lin Liu, Xinghua acquiesced to leave the stone behind. Xinghua was afraid that people would laugh at the stone, so she took a bath, changed into a set of clean clothes, and cut the stone's hair and shaved herself. Looking in the mirror, the stone still looks good. The next day, Shi straightened his chest and walked down a street to visit his mother in a dignified manner. Many villagers thought that the stone had been mixed well in recent years, and they spoke very politely to the stone.
