Boys always feel poor

Chapter 73

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the streets begin to be lively and peaceful again. You can see small vendors selling Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers for the New Year everywhere. There are also businesses with stereos at the door, playing music that is no longer familiar. Major shopping malls, supermarkets, and various stores go back and forth to buy new year's goods.

Lin Yi stood at the door of the store and looked up at Luo Qi's couplets. Their company had just completed the last project a year ago. Qiao Yi and the others agreed to take Fu Man's parents to City B to celebrate the New Year, so they gave them a holiday early. .Only then did Lin Yi rescue Kong Yang, who was a helper in the store, and let him spend the rest of his vacation at Hou Shan's pet hospital.

After Luo Qi posted the couplet, he turned his head and looked at Lin Yi: "How is it? Did you paste it crookedly?"

Lin Yizai shook his head after looking carefully: "It's very well pasted, very neat."

Luo Qi breathed hot air on his hand, and stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi: "Go back quickly, I'll catch a cold later."

Lin Yi held that very familiar and warm hand, and the two went back to the store talking and laughing.There was a sweet smell in the store. Two young girls who looked young were sitting near the door, eating and chatting. When they heard the door ring, one of the girls turned around subconsciously, facing the door. Seeing the hands tightly held by the two, she was stunned for two seconds, and hurriedly pulled her companion, and the two of them looked at Lin Yi and the others with piercing eyes.

Lin Yi naturally felt such gazes, and knew that there was no malice in such gazes, but he still couldn't bear it. He heard from Kong Yang that girls nowadays would feel special whenever they saw two good-looking boys walking together. Excited, not to mention that they walked in the door holding hands in such a grandiose way.

Forget it, as long as they are happy.

Lin Yi glared at Luo Qi, then turned around and walked through the cash register to the back to look at Tutu. During the day, Tutu followed Lin Yi to the upstairs company as a mascot, and at night he came back to his little nest while smelling Drooling while falling asleep to the aroma of various desserts.He never ran around without permission, and was extremely obedient.

The business in the store during this period is pretty good, probably because the New Year is approaching, adults and children have plenty of money, and they are not stingy when spending money.Luo Qi also opened takeaway and online payment, which is more convenient and quicker and expands the consumer base.Every night when Lin Yi came back from get off work, he would be responsible for the checkout. Looking at the numbers, Lin Yi would be in a particularly good mood.He secretly estimated that they would be able to save the first year's rent after the new year, and their income would be net income by then. This kind of knowledge made him feel particularly at ease.

Lin Yi scratched Tutu and was thinking about taking a bath for him at night when Luo Qi suddenly came over with his mobile phone: "Your phone has been ringing for a long time. It's an unfamiliar number."

Lin Yi frowned slightly, everyone who knew his phone number knew him, and 80.00% of calls from an unfamiliar number should be scammers, right?Thinking of this, he pressed the answer button casually, and there was a slightly unfamiliar voice on the other side of the phone: "Is it Lin Yi?"

"I'm Lin Yi, who are you?"

"I'm your aunt." The voice on the other end of the phone said.

Lin Yi was even more surprised. He raised his eyes to look at Luo Qi, and said, "Auntie, what's the matter with you calling?"

"I heard from your aunt and the others that you are living a good life with a stable job. If this is the case, your dad should take over the New Year by yourself. You also know that it is not convenient for him to say anything here? "My aunt's anticipation is obviously disgusting, as if she is suppressing her impatience to talk to Lin Yi.

"My dad?" Lin Yi asked blankly, "Why is he at your house?"

"I still want to know why he came back without saying a word!" The aunt said impatiently, "And I think he has some kind of disease. Your uncle wanted to take him for a checkup and was scolded. It’s really a dog biting Lu Dongbin. Anyway, you hurry up and come back to pick him up. He has been so angry with your grandma that he can’t eat after only one day. It’s like someone owes him money. I don’t know what’s wrong.”

Holding the phone, Lin Yi took a deep breath: "I see." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

He was still squatting on the ground, holding the phone in his hand, but his brain was in a mess. Why did Lin Changsheng come back suddenly? Where is his mother?It has been a year and a half since he left home, and his life is getting better little by little. Fortunately, he naively thought that he would bid farewell to the life that never saw the light of day, but he forgot, Lin Changsheng, the man who is connected with his blood, the biggest haze in his life, although he hasn't appeared for a long time, it doesn't mean that he is no longer there.

Lin Yi squatted on the ground for a long time, and Luo Qi squatted opposite him to accompany him quietly, until he felt that his legs were numb and could no longer squat, and when he sat down on the ground, Luo Qi stretched out his hand to hold him Hugging him into his arms, Luo Qi sighed softly in his ear: "I'll accompany you to take a look, after all, you are no longer that penniless boy."

Lin Yi's face was pressed against Luo Qi's chest, he closed his eyes slightly, and he spoke after a long time: "I'll go back by myself first, that guy... Anyway, I won't let him ruin our life. But I have to ask him Where did Mom go, and I have to take him away from Jiuping Town."

"I'll accompany you back." Luo Qi whispered, "I don't worry about you being alone."

Lin Yi shook his hand, and slowly smiled: "Didn't you say that I am no longer that penniless boy. I can face it by myself. If I find that I can't bear it, I will definitely Told you so, trust me."

Luo Qi reached out to touch his face, kissed him on the lips, and then pulled Lin Yi up: "Then go, go and come back quickly."

Lin Yi changed his clothes, and Luo Qi wrapped them tightly in a thick down jacket, hat, scarf and gloves, and then sent them all the way to the bus station. After watching Lin Yi get on the bus to Jiuping Town, he rushed back to the cake shop.

As the bus drove slowly out of the urban area, Lin Yi was desperately trying to recall all his memories of Lin Changsheng from childhood to adulthood.He hated this man, and he felt pity for this man, but this man still raised him after all, so even though he was emotionally tired, morally he couldn't really abandon this man.

Lin Yi sighed deeply. If you really want what your aunt said about him being sick, you should send him to the hospital for a check-up first. After he is cured, send him back to City G. After all, he is in Jiuping Town as well. Neither City T is a popular character.

Lin Yi thought wildly all the way until the car stopped in Jiuping Town.This town is obviously his hometown, but every time he comes here, he just feels extra complicated in his heart.

According to memory, Lin Yi found his uncle's house and stood at the anti-theft door. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. His aunt opened the door from the inside, glanced at him, and said calmly, "Come in."

Lin Yi's gaze never swept across the not-so-big living room, except for the uncle's family, the uncle's family was also there, and Lin Changsheng was sitting on the single sofa at the side, looking at Lin Yi with unclear meaning.

Lin Yi glanced at him and lowered his head to change his shoes. He heard Lin Changsheng's voice from the sofa: "Hey, isn't this my very promising son who doesn't even recognize his father? Since he doesn't recognize him, why don't he What are you doing here? Just like your heartless mother, I should have let you starve to death if I knew earlier."

Lin Yi changed his shoes, stood calmly in the middle of the living room, and looked down at Lin Changsheng: "Where is my mother? What are you doing here?"

"Who knows where that heartless mother of yours went? You still have the face to ask me, I want to know where you hid your mother?" Lin Changsheng pointed at Lin Yi, "Also, see You old man, you don’t even have a big greeting, you shouldn’t have been born back then.”

Lin Yi looked at Lin Changsheng with cold eyes: "I think this is what my grandma wants to say the most? If I knew you were such a person, I shouldn't have given you birth. Trouble, besides making people feel disgusted when they hear your name, have you done anything to make people think you are still a person?"

Lin Changsheng stood up unsteadily, he raised his hand as if he wanted to slap Lin Yi, after all, this was something they were used to.But meeting the opponent's gaze, his hand trembled slightly, and then fell down.

He looked at Lin Yi and realized that he didn't know when, that little guy who was always dirty was a little taller than him now, he still looked like a young man, but he was even more handsome and upright, he was wearing clean clothes, It looked no different from the young people Lin Changsheng met on the street before.

Lin Changsheng stared at Lin Yi for a long time before saying: "It seems that you have had a good life in the past two years, so I forgot how hard your father worked so hard to raise you. You white-eyed wolf, I raised you You are so old, you ran away as soon as you said, and now you are doing well, and you don’t even think about whether your old man is going to starve to death?"

Lin Yi snorted softly: "People like you won't be willing to starve yourself to death." After a pause, Lin Yi continued, "After all, you are not reconciled, you are not reconciled to your brother, your sister, and even The sons you hold in your hands are living better than you, even if you are going to die, you have to hold your last breath and disturb everyone's peace before you can close your eyes."

Lin Changsheng looked at his son for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Yes, even if I am going to die, I won't make it easy for you."

The author has something to say: the last factor of instability must always be resolved.
