Transport life

After returning to Zicheng, Yan Lingling and Lin Yi got busy.

At the end of the year, some people achieve nothing and some gain a lot. No matter what kind of people they want to take advantage of the end of the year to adjust their mood and welcome the Spring Festival and New Year.Those who moved to a new house also wanted to move to a new house for the Spring Festival at the end of the year. Big orders came one after another, and Yan Lingling was directly sent to other moving teams to help.Lin Yi was busy with the year-end work summary and the amount of insurance policies, and had to work overtime at the company on weekends.

The two simply stopped seeing each other, and planned to go out to play after the holiday a year ago.

Ran Ming already knew the relationship between Yan Lingling and Lin Yi.On the day he came back from his hometown, Lin Yi sent Yan Lingling back to the yard. Ran Ming saw the two of them leading Manman to buy snacks, and the tacit understanding made him guess.Yan Lingling admitted it generously. If it was someone else, she might not admit it, but as an insider, Ran Ming has no point in hiding it. She also believes in Ran Ming.

Ran Ming's ankles were still wrapped in white gauze. After confirming his guess, he frowned and smoked a cigarette. He didn't say anything, and went to work to help unload the goods after smoking.

As soon as December is over, New Year's Day is over. During New Year's Day, Lin Yi travels to other cities and signs a contract with a major client who has been with him remotely for more than half a year. According to her, after signing this contract, she can get a commission of nearly [-] yuan at one time. I have money for the New Year.

Yan Lingling put his mobile phone on the small table, and watched Lin Yi working overtime on the other side of the screen while having dinner.When Lin Yi turned off the PPT interface and looked at the screen of the phone, Yan Lingling bit the spoon and asked, "Lin Yi, how about I go to take an undergraduate course for adults? Or learn some other technology?"

Lin Yi was very happy. It’s always right for people to continue to go up. She turned off the computer and moved closer to the mobile phone: "When I go back from a business trip, I will ask my friends who are doing career planning, whether it is better for you to take an adult undergraduate course or learn a technology. Lingling, what did you want to do before?"

Yan Lingling thought of her ideal many years ago. When she was young, she wanted to be a teacher.Because dad is a teacher.She chose arts and sciences after she got a score in arts and sciences in high school. She wanted to become a Chinese teacher or a history teacher, or a geography teacher. At that time, her geography was very good.She chatted with Lin Yi about high school, and the chat was so happy, Lin Yi suddenly mentioned the grandma who had never been mentioned before.

Yan Lingling recalled the scene when Lin Yi was getting along with his grandfather, she couldn't hold back, and asked Lin Yi about grandma with a little inquiry.

Lin Yi's expression changed, as if taking off the most peaceful mask, with indescribable sadness.Yan Lingling regretted it. She shouldn't have asked through the screen. Something important must have happened between Lin Yi and grandma.

Seeing Yan Lingling's cautious look, Lin Yi turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the bedside lamp, she leaned against the bedside, the warm yellow bedside lamp reflected her complexion yellowish, sadness and helplessness were reflected in the camera There is nothing to hide from.

"I was brought up by my grandma." She said, as if she was telling someone else's story, her tone was calm, "I only remember my grandma when I was a child. When I was in the second year of junior high, my parents came back with a one-year-old brother. The younger brother is very cute. ,I really like him……"

Lin Yi's parents brought her younger brother back, and she and grandma were very happy.I thought the family reunion was full of laughter and laughter, but I didn't expect endless quarrels to follow.Lin Yi’s parents have been working outside for more than ten years. After returning home, they were dissatisfied with grandma’s living habits and lifestyle. Grandma put rock sugar and chili noodles in the refrigerator. They scolded them directly. The soy sauce bottle in the kitchen was stained. Scolding, they also said that grandma stole the subsidy from the government's expropriation of land under Lin Yi's name, and said that they would sue grandma to the economic court...

At that time, Lin Yi didn't know if there was an economic court in the town. He just saw his grandma who worked so hard to raise her, and endured the abuse and dissatisfaction from her own son and daughter-in-law, and she hated it in her heart.She started to fight against her parents, stood by her grandma, threw benches at each other with her father, and scolded her mother. She didn't know how to swear, and would only swear back the same words after her mother scolded herself.Several times when her parents pointed her nose at her and said she was not filial, she once wanted to run on the road and let a car run over her.But she thought of grandma and didn't have the courage to do it.

This kind of life passed for several years, until soon after Lin Yi was admitted to university, grandma fell ill, and there was a four-hour train ride between the university and home, and she commuted between home and university almost every weekend, she knew that although her parents They are taking care of grandma, but they only provide food for grandma, and they don't care about anything else.In the first semester of college, Lin Yi received a call from his father during class, saying that grandma was dying.

Lin Yi rushed back home with tears in her eyes. She didn't even see her grandma for the last time. She looked at her grandma lying in the coffin, and then turned her head to see her parents chatting and joking with relatives. She felt that her parents must be very happy. For them, they are relieved when their grandma dies.

After the funeral, she was packing up grandma’s things in her room. She heard her mother and aunt talking in the living room, saying that the last meal grandma ate before she left was glutinous rice balls.

Hearing the word glutinous rice balls, Lin Yi was in a cold sweat all over his body.The glutinous rice balls in her hometown are so soft that her grandma often has difficulty swallowing after she gets sick.When encountering this kind of soft and glutinous food, as long as a little glutinous rice balls stick to the throat, grandma can't swallow it.A few weeks ago, Lin Yi came home and teased grandma while eating glutinous rice balls. Grandma smiled and said that she had no teeth to bite and could only swallow whole, and it was easy to stick to her throat.

Lin Yi came out of the room and stood in front of her mother and aunt. She shed tears and looked at her mother showing panic for a second. The aunt stood aside, a little embarrassed. After she reacted, her mother scolded her for crying all the time, bad luck, aunt I also advised her not to cry and to accept the fact that grandma is gone.

From then until now, Lin Yi always has dreams, in which he is arguing with his parents and asking them if they killed grandma.

Lin Yi couldn't forgive her parents. She said that she sent money home just to repay the college tuition they gave her. She wanted to make her parents feel indebted to her forever. She had thought about the scene when her parents died countless times. She would stand by the bed and tell These two people who gave their lives, "You killed grandma right? I hate you!"

Tears flowed down Lin Yi's face on the screen, and Yan Lingling cried too.

Yan Lingling didn't know that Lin Yi was hiding this matter in her heart. If she knew, she wouldn't persuade Lin Yi to have a good talk with his parents.Although Lin Yi is only guessing about how his mother feeds grandma glutinous rice balls, just looking at the previous noise is enough to make Lin Yi dissatisfied with his parents.Yan Lingling thought of himself, if someone scolded Grandpa because he misplaced things and didn't clean the kitchen, Yan Lingling would beat them up.

The grandparents who raised them are much more important in the hearts of children than those who have the titles of father and mother.

Yan Lingling has never met Lin Yi's parents, nor does he know the true temperament of Lin Yi's parents.But as long as he thinks that he can force the teenage Lin Yi to have the idea of ​​committing suicide, he will no longer have a good impression of Lin Yi's parents.

------------

Half a month before the Chinese New Year, Mi Cheng’s moving company began to have holidays one after another. The office moving team and the unloading team were all disrupted, and the shift was scheduled until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month according to the time when the workers went home.In the past, Yan Lingling would stay until the 24th of the twelfth lunar month before returning home. This time, because she made an appointment with Lin Yi to go out to play, she became the first group of people to have a holiday.

The people in the yard who were on vacation earlier were busy packing their luggage and leaving.Yan Lingling also put away the things at home, greeted Big Brother Yun and Sister Mi, and handed over the gift bought for Ran Ming's son to Ran Ming, then dragged the box and sat for three stops, and arrived at Lin Yi's house.

She made an appointment with Lin Yi to stay at Lin Yi's house for two days, and then Lin Yi took his annual leave. The two went out to play for four days, and then went home separately.

Lin Yi's home was in a mess, and the two of them hadn't seen each other in the past few weeks, and it was estimated that Lin Yi hadn't cleaned it up either.Yan Lingling played the TV series as the background music, and cleaned the house. When Lin Yi arrived home after eleven o'clock in the evening, Yan Lingling fell asleep lying on the sofa. The TV was on, and a magic movie was playing on it. When the TV series was changed, she heard the sound of the door opening, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Yi standing by the door and looking at her.

The two who haven't seen each other for a few weeks, although they often chat on video, when they meet at this time, they still can't hide the love in their eyes.

The two lay on the bed and saw the arrangements for going out to play, looking forward to the trip two days later.

The next day when Lin Yi went to work, Yan Lingling slowly packed the two people's travel things at home, and even went to buy travel-sized toiletries.After returning home and packing up everything, she started to make dinner. Lin Yi said that she would try to get off work early tonight.

Just starting to prepare the dishes, Yan Lingling heard a voice outside the door.The old residential building is not very soundproof, she vaguely heard someone asking if this is it?Are you off work yet?She felt strange, but didn't care. After a while, the voice of talking was still there, and there was a knock on the door.

Yan Lingling walked to the door with a kitchen knife.The cat's eye of the iron gate in the old community was a big hole, which Lin Yi usually plugged with a piece of paper.Yan Lingling stood on one side, pushing away the ball of paper. Someone outside the door just put his eyes in front of the hole, which startled Yan Lingling.

"Hey, someone." The voice of a middle-aged woman.

Yan Lingling looked over quietly, and there was a middle-aged woman and a young boy standing outside the door.Seeing that he had been discovered, Yan Lingling asked them: "Who are you looking for?"

"It's not your sister's voice." The middle-aged woman said.

Yan Lingling's heart moved, and she had a guess.The young boy outside asked, "Is this Lin Yi's home?"

It can't really be Lin Yi's mother and brother.Yan Lingling stuffed the ball of paper back, and the person outside the door said, "Why can't I see it again?" She picked up her phone, quickly sent Lin Yi a message, and opened the door.

The middle-aged woman and the young man were taken aback by the sudden opening of the door, and they were even more puzzled when they saw the knife in Yan Lingling's hand.They looked at Yan Lingling, and the middle-aged woman showed a kind expression: "Hello, is this Lin Yi's house?"

Pretty polite.Yan Lingling thought in his heart, showing a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"

"We are Lin Yi's family. Come to Zicheng to do some business and visit her." The young man spoke quickly, his eyes kept looking behind Yan Lingling.

"Ah, Lin Yi hasn't got off work yet. Are you her relatives?" Seeing that the two of them were normal, Yan Lingling couldn't find an excuse to stop them outside the door after lying. She turned sideways and motioned for them while talking. Come in, "Why don't you come in and sit down, she may not come back until after eleven o'clock in the evening. I am Lin Yi's friend and I live here temporarily. Come in and sit down."

"Friend?" Brother Lin Yi repeated, looking at Yan Lingling full of inquiry.

Lin Yi's mother didn't say anything, she explained while entering the room: "I am Lin Yi's mother, and this is her younger brother."

"It turned out to be Auntie, you sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." Yan Lingling went back to the kitchen to look for a glass, just when news from Lin Yi also arrived: "They didn't tell me they were coming, they probably got it from someone else. My address, just let them wait for me, you can play in the room by yourself, don't worry about them."

Yan Lingling replied to the message, cleaned the cups, poured water for the two of them, and wanted to go back to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner, but Lin Yi's mother took the initiative to chat with her, asking her how old she was, and whether Lin Yi and Lin Yi were colleagues, and they were at home today Rest or something.Normal elders asked, Yan Lingling answered one by one, she said that she is not Lin Yi's colleague, today is the company's holiday.

As soon as Lin Yi's mother heard that she was on vacation, she immediately praised her work for being good. Lin Yi couldn't do it for such an early vacation. She was so busy every day that she didn't even call home. It's about Lin Yi's ignorance and disobedience.

Yan Lingling listened with a smile on her face, but her heart was getting colder and colder.Even though she has no parents since she was a child, she still knows that parents should be proud of their children, just like Brother Yun and Sister Mi, when mentioning Yan'er and Manman, they couldn't hide their complacent expressions.There is no mother who speaks ill of her daughter to someone she meets for the first time.Yan Lingling couldn't take it anymore, she interrupted Lin Yi's mother, and asked if they wanted to have dinner here, and she was preparing dinner.

Lin Yi's mother said she was sorry to disturb her, and pretended to ask her son if he wanted to have dinner here and wait for his sister.The boy frowned, glanced at Yan Lingling, and replied impatiently to his mother: "It's all here..."

"This child." Lin Yi's mother babbled about her son and looked at Yan Lingling with a smile.Yan Lingling hurriedly asked to stay: "My brother is right, you are here, you sit down, and I will make dinner."

Yan Lingling returned to the kitchen.She put away her smile, and after a while, she saw Lin Yi's younger brother wandering around the room. When he passed the bedroom door, he opened the door and walked in for a circle.Entering other people's houses casually, without rules or manners, Yan Lingling rolled his eyes and hid in the kitchen for more than an hour.

When Lin Yi came home, the food was just on the table.Yan Lingling came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. Her mother and younger brother sat on the sofa without moving. Seeing Lin Yi, her mother stood up with a smile and said she was back.Lin Yi threw the bag on the sofa and looked at his younger brother: "Lin Duojin, don't you help me with the cooking?"

Yan Lingling quickly waved his hand, indicating that he would do it by himself.She saw Lin Yi's mother pouted.The younger brother muttered twice in dissatisfaction, and then went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

Sitting at the table, Lin Yi's mother praised Yan Lingling for being amazing, and she made so many dishes that were delicious.Yan Lingling had no choice but to be humble, until finally she realized that her face was almost stiff, she kicked Lin Yi quietly, and Lin Yi, who had been eating in silence, took the initiative to ask her why her mother came.

Yan Lingling found it strange that Lin Yi didn't have much patience with her mother and younger brother. If she observed carefully, she would find that she was talking to her mother with emotion.But the mother and younger brother didn't seem to realize it, especially the mother. To be honest, she lost her aura in front of Lin Yi a lot, and she didn't look like she just said bad things about Lin Yi in front of Yan Lingling.

Lin Yi's mother and younger brother came to Zicheng with the Community Elderly Art Troupe.It's been four days since I've been here, and I just happened to be free this afternoon, so I wanted to see Lin Yi.

As for why he didn't tell Lin Yi in advance, Yan Lingling guessed that he was worried that Lin Yi would not let them come.

"I heard that you have moved. Mom wants to see how the place you live in now?" Brother Lin Yi said, "This neighborhood is so old, why did you move here?"

Lin Yi stuck his chopsticks into the bowl, and said lightly, "Because it's cheap."

Her brother was silent for a moment.

Sitting for a while after eating, Lin Yi and her mother were chatting in the room, Lin Yi's younger brother walked to the kitchen, Yan Lingling looked at him, and found that although he was thin, he was not short, standing closer to him, There was also a sense of oppression.He looked at Yan Lingling, and spoke lightly and quickly: "Add a friend, you are my sister's girlfriend."
