[Genshin] When Crumb Nut Leaves Tivat
Chapter 28 Little Butterfly
The road from Erbo's house to Lantern Street was not long, but Yang Lin led the car from dusk to dark.
He has been afraid of his second uncle since he was a child.I remember when I was very young, my parents would take him to pay respects to the early years. The atmosphere in the second uncle's house was too dull, which made Yang Lin very uncomfortable.Finally, one year, there was no need to go. Yang Lin was so happy that the second uncle came to pay New Year's greetings by himself. Although he gave him a red envelope, he also nagged him.
Because of these things, Yang Lin always avoided him.Today he was ready to be scolded, but the second uncle didn't. He didn't say anything, just sat in the living room and smoked violently.At that moment, Yang Lin felt that the silhouette of his silent profile was actually quite similar to that of his father.
"Your tuition, including going to college, I will pay for it." The second uncle smoked the last cigarette in the box, his brows and eyes filled with deep tiredness, "That shop, please close it."
Long smoke and sighs surrounded Yang Lin's eyes.
"Closing the shop?" Yang Lin stopped at the intersection of Lantern Street, re-examining this street that he once hated.
Surprisingly, those unpleasant memories have faded a lot, and more are the scenes of walking side by side with Walnut: the light in her eyes when she saw this street for the first time, the familiarity when she greeted the neighbors He walked to the side of the human-shaped paper bundle and made scary faces to scare him...Yang Lin found that he no longer hated this street, nor was he afraid.
"Why are you willing to turn it off?" Yang Lin said to himself facing the archway at the entrance of the street.
When Hu Tao got out of the car, she saw Yang Lin's distraught look.
Hu Tao stood on tiptoe and stooped to sneak up on him, trying to scare him, but after being teased a few times, Yang Lin had already formed an instinctive reaction to her footsteps.
As soon as Hu Tao approached, Yang Lin turned around and gave her a drink.
"Ah!" Hu Tao jumped back, baring her teeth and claws like a frightened cat, accusing him viciously, "You scared me to death!"
Yang Lin shrugged, imitating Hu Tao's previous tone, "Oh? So?"
"You're pissing me off!" Walnut scratched him with her claws, forcing him to run around the bike.
Yang Lin's wanton laughter echoed in the small street, he hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time.
The paint on the door of the house had dried, and the orders and notices on it were stained red, making it impossible to read the contents.
Yang Lin urged Hu Tao to come in quickly, don't look at this, but Hu Tao shook his head and checked all the orders, for fear of missing new customers and delaying other people's needs.
"Is there any news about the two previous orders?" Hu Tao just finished speaking.
The phone at home rang.
The two looked at each other with a bad premonition in their hearts.
Sure enough, it was to cancel the order.The people who placed the order were relatives of Aqiu. The old man's last wish was to raise a few lambs to spend his old age peacefully. Unfortunately, the old man went west without waiting for the sheep.So his relatives placed an order for a sheep pen, thinking that they could send it over when the old man died next month.
Hu Tao liked the order very much, and even went to study the sheepfold in their hometown before finalizing the first draft, but it disappeared like this.
Yang Lin carefully questioned for a long time before making the phone call, only to find out that the guest came to see the paint today, inquired about it in Lantern Street, and found out about the wealthy businessman.
"Uncle! Can you wait for a while, this matter is not yet settled... beep beep..." Yang Lin still wanted to fight for it, but the caller hung up on the pretext of having dinner.
"It's okay, there will be results in these two days, and he will definitely come back and ask us to continue to do it." Hu Tao snorted coldly, "Besides, we have another one."
"Beep beep..." The phone that had just hung up rang again.
"..." The two looked at each other.
"Why don't we stop answering?" Yang Lin looked at the numbers on the monitor that were obviously different from the phone call just now, and didn't want to answer at all.
"Alas. Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. Let's take it." Hu Tao held the microphone and said in a slightly forceful tone, "Hello."
There was a hissing electric sound from the phone. Hu Tao thought the phone was broken, so he tapped it, but the electric current did not vibrate with Hu Tao's movements, and it sounded like it was brought by the other party.
"Hello? Mr. Chen Qi?" Hu Tao asked a little strangely.
"Is the computer ready?" The person on the other end of the phone didn't respond to Hu Tao's greeting, but went straight to the point, "If it's done, put it in the courier box tomorrow and send it to the post office in the town."
"Okay. The final payment..." Hu Tao wanted to ask one more question, but was rudely hung up by the other party without even an excuse.
Although the business was secured, Hu Tao frowned and was not very happy.
"Don't be angry, some people just don't have the quality. We won't accept him after we finish this order." It's something I'm familiar with, and it can be done quickly, so I took it over.
"That's not the problem." Hu Tao shook his head, "I feel that his voice this time is different from last time. I should have played it for you just now, but unfortunately he hung up too quickly."
"Different?" Yang Lin thought about it for a while, "But last time he didn't say a few words. It's all um, okay... the only one that exceeds 2 words is the one that bargains - 30. Look at it this way It does sound a bit strange, shall we call back and see?"
Walnut nodded, and dialed back again.This time, there was no current sound, and there was an immature girl's voice on the phone: "Hello, this is a public phone. The person who called you has already left."
"Hahahaha, the baby is really amazing." Another voice came from the phone, it seemed that it was a woman teaching the child to speak.
The woman originally wanted to hang up, but after Hu Tao praised the child, she was willing to talk to her a few more times.
"It's tricky." After hanging up the phone, Yang Lin frowned.According to what the woman said, she opened a grocery store in the town next door and provided a public telephone. The man just now was not her man, but just an ordinary passerby.
She didn't take a closer look at the appearance, but she was not very tall. She was about 50 or [-] years old. The man didn't say anything, so she couldn't hear the accent, but it was definitely not from their street.
"Tomorrow we will get some news from the courier. If the situation is not right, we will follow its flow." Hu Tao touched the computer with paper, fingers painted with black nail polish, and tapped the keyboard lightly, not knowing what to think something.
The next day, Hu Tao was forced to wake up early, and was pulled out of bed by Yang Lin at 6 am.
Hu Tao now uses Yang Lin's mother's bedroom, which is twice the size of his room, but the room is a little messy.The divided area belonging to walnuts is piled with miscellaneous things.
Yang Lin stood on tiptoe, walked carefully to the window, opened the curtains, and woke up Hu Tao.
There was no way he had to go to school, as far as he knew about Hu Tao, the phone and the alarm clock couldn't wake her up, so he could only wake her up before going to school.
The morning sun brought the breath of early autumn into the bedroom, Walnut moved his nose, sneezed, and his eyelids gradually opened.
"It's too early." He was pulled up listlessly.
"Sit down on the sofa downstairs for a while after dinner." Yang Lin was also very sorry to see that she had dark circles under her eyes at a young age.
Walnut ignored him.
"And you get angry when you wake up." Yang Lin supervised her after washing, went downstairs and sat on the dining table, and then left in a hurry.He hit the motorcycle today, so he shouldn't be late.
"Sleep after eating." Yang Lin shouted again before closing the door.
Walnut's head was already stuck on the dining table.
"Huh..." fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already two hours later.
"This guy is too accurate." Hu Tao rubbed his sore neck and ate breakfast slowly.She originally refused to get up early, but made a bet with Yang Lin.Yang Lin gambled on her series of behaviors after getting up early, when she would finish brushing her teeth, when she would doze off, and how long she would sleep... Hu Tao thought it was fun, so she agreed to get up early.
"Why does this person know me better than myself?" Hu Tao drank the warm porridge in the rice cooker, feeling an inexplicable unhappiness in her heart, as if she was a marionette who was clearly arranged, This feeling is unreasonable, it is obviously her own habit.
But Hu Tao couldn't help thinking about it, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she was so angry that she drank all the red bean porridge in the pot.
"Hic." It lasted.He didn't feel it while sitting and eating, but when he stood up, Hu Tao felt that his stomach was about to burst.
She touched her stomach and walked to the sofa. As soon as she sat down, she saw the stomach-strengthening tablets on the coffee table.
"I'm so pissed off!!!" She was spread out on the sofa in large characters, so angry that she didn't want to move.
"No, I want to change myself!" Hu Tao secretly made up her mind.
It was already 9 o'clock after the walnuts were packed, and there was still half an hour before the agreed delivery time.
"Little Butterfly, if I get lost at that time, you have to send me a signal." Hu Tao took out the white butterfly that was kept in the small flying shed, and carefully placed it on the sign of the Hall of Rebirth on the edge of the paper bundle. The butterfly and the butterfly on the sign, one black and one white, complement each other beautifully, "Perfect!"
The post office is three blocks away, but the walnuts are full of energy, and it takes less than 15 minutes to arrive.It was the busiest time for picking goods in the morning. Hearing that Hu Tao wanted to send Chen Qi's things, the dispatcher checked the things and gave her 30 yuan to finish.
Hu Tao asked him about Chen Qi, the courier shook his head and said he didn't know him. It was the first time I met him. He paid the storage fee for 3 days and didn't say when he would come to pick it up.
Seeing that Hu Tao wanted to ask again, the courier immediately drove away, and he didn't have time to chat with him.
"It's even more strange. It's so perfect that no one can find any trace of him." Hu Tao sat on a stone bench not far away, wondering why it took so much effort to buy a 30 yuan paper bundle, and kept it secret. Forget it, these storage fees, telephone charges and so on are estimated to add up to more than 30.
"This person must have other purposes!" Hu Tao smelled a conspiracy.
He has been afraid of his second uncle since he was a child.I remember when I was very young, my parents would take him to pay respects to the early years. The atmosphere in the second uncle's house was too dull, which made Yang Lin very uncomfortable.Finally, one year, there was no need to go.
