God said I would meet you

Lin Jinyu always felt that Zhang Xinli's connection with his family was loose.

Zhang Xinli lived in his home that year, a 17-year-old student who was thousands of miles away from his native family and came to Shanghai to go to school alone, but his parents seemed to rarely call him, 365 days a year, maybe only in the university. I played three or five during the holidays.

Lin Jinyu couldn't dare to think about changing it to Lin Jinyu. Not to mention asking for instructions early and reporting late every day, I have to talk to my family at least once a week, and I live at school during the holidays. If I don't go home, I have to explain everything clearly, where to live, With whom, is there anyone responsible... Zhang Xinli seems to be completely freed by the family.

"Hmm..." Over there, Zhang Xinli brushed his hair while answering his father's extremely strange phone call: "I won't go back," he said, "I have something to do."

His father should have asked something, but Zhang Xinli only said, "I'm out of town, anyway, there are people at home, so it's fine if I don't go back."

Since Zhang Xin and his parents had an accident, his brother's household registration has been taken to Zhang Xinli's family, and Zhang Xinli's parents did not treat him differently. To some extent, they are brothers on the same household registration book, and thanks to Zhang Xinhe who has been watching the livestock and chess room in Liangshan, Zhang Xinli can be more free and spare so much time to hang out with his boyfriend.

"Come back when you have time," the rural man said loudly, and Zhang's father over there was buzzing, coughing and spitting out loudly, and said, "Oh, your brother said that he still has to go to school. , I’m worried, I want to see if I can walk around in the past six months and find a better school.”

When Lin Jinyu returned to Liangshan last year, she also persuaded Zhang Xinhe to retake the college entrance examination and go to a university. If it doesn't work out, it's okay to consider upgrading to a college in the future, so that the degree can be higher.

"Well," Zhang Xinli said, "I'll go back to the school in my hometown when I'm done and when school starts, and I'll help him ask."

Dad Zhang said: "When school starts, ask now and find a better one."

Zhang Xinli said: "Now I have something to do, I'm doing an internship...in Shanghai."

"Oh, that's just right," Zhang's father said, "You have studied in Shanghai, so why don't you see if you can get your brother to study in Shanghai, just the school you have studied in."

This is too whimsical. Zhang's father may think that the attached high school is similar to any good middle school in the county. No matter who it is, it can send people in by giving gifts, opening a table and having a meal. Zhang Xinli said: "Dad, it's impossible. .”

Seeing that he was so sure, Dad Zhang sighed, a little disappointed.

He actually really wanted this to happen. Shanghai is a big city. In his heart, his son has grown up, is promising, has been admitted to a university, and has studied in a big city. Take my brother to the big city to see... if there is a chance.

Lin Jinyu felt quiet, playing on her mobile phone and waiting for him to finish the call.

Zhang Xinli asked a few words about his parents' physical condition, and Zhang's father chatted with him, asking him how he was doing, when he graduated, and all the sons of the neighbors in his hometown got married.

Lin Jinyu's hair was dried, Zhang Xinli made a phone call with one hand, and touched the top of his hair with the other, signaling him to go to bed and rest.

"Well," Zhang Xinli said, "I..."

Dad Zhang said: "Pay attention to your own life. I miss you at home. I called you last time and asked if you have any money to use. You said yes, so I didn't transfer too much to you."

Their family is rough, they have no schooling, and no culture. They may not be as straightforward and enthusiastic as Lin Jinyu in expressing their emotions, but the family affection is still there.

"I know," Zhang Xinli said, "I have enough money."

Since he was a sophomore, he didn't ask his family for money much. He went to work-study program and then went to find some part-time jobs outside the school, which was enough for food, clothing, housing and transportation...it was like this before falling in love.

Father Zhang said: "Once the two children in the family go to school, the expenses will be high. Your mother is not feeling well recently. I want to take her to see it."

Zhang Xinli guessed the next sentence, and Zhang's father said: "Last time I put a thousand with you, I will borrow from my father to make up for it, and I will bring your mother to the hospital, and I will transfer it back to you in a few days."

The last time the father and son talked on the phone was last year. At that time, there were six or seven thousand saved in the Zhang Xinli card, but now...

Zhang Xinli didn't speak for a moment.

Lin Jinyu was lying on the bed, not knowing what to watch on his mobile phone. From time to time, he took the time to glance at him. He was keenly aware that Zhang Xinli was a little distracted, so he made a lip movement and asked what was wrong.

Zhang Xinli shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and said to the phone: "I... find a way," he said, "Dad, I'm holding...for now..."

Father Zhang knew that he had spare money, and Zhang Xinli was not a spender, so he asked, "Why, do you have something to do outside? If you have something to do, you must talk to the family."

"No," Zhang Xinli couldn't explain why he suddenly spent the money so quickly, and could only subconsciously deny it: "It's pretty good."

His previous hesitation didn't seem to be very good, Zhang's father said: "What's the matter, didn't you get injured in training? Or...are you talking about a girlfriend?"

This is the problem that Zhang Xinli is most unwilling to face. Fortunately, he has experienced a lot of messy things with Lin Jinyu before, and he has a certain amount of psychological construction. He didn't behave too abnormally, so he calmly and perfunctorily said: "Nothing." He thought of a reason: "I bought wealth management, I will find a way to get it in a few days."

That was the time when the trend of currency virtualization was just emerging, and various low-threshold wealth management products entered thousands of households. Zhang's father had no doubts, and just said: "Oh, yes."

"You and my mother also take care of ourselves." Zhang Xinli exchanged a few more pleasantries and hung up the phone.

"What?" Lin Jinyu watched him press the hang up button before saying, "Did your dad ask you about your partner?"

He has a strong ability to read words and demeanor, just Zhang Xinli's expression, he guessed it.

"By the way," Zhang Xinli didn't deny it. He went to sit next to Lin Jinyu and said, "I didn't force you to ask."

"What are you going to do?" Lin Jinyu said, "Are you going to tell me?"

He has a general impression of the situation in Zhang Xinli's family. Not only at home, but also in the entire village in the mountains.

"Wait until it stabilizes." Zhang Xinli did not avoid his eyes this time, nor did he change the subject, but said, "It depends on the situation. I have everything I want to wait."

Lin Jinyu said: "Actually...you don't have to say anything, it's fine."

In the past, he was so obsessed with the matter of coming out, and felt that if two people were serious about talking, coming out was very important. Both parents must clearly know the orientation of their children, as well as their chosen and future plans. A lifelong partner, but after so many things now...he seems to be thinking about it a little bit.

Even if his own parents are like this, it is hard to imagine how Zhang Xinli's family will react if they find out. The closest relatives are turning against each other. the most important.

Zhang Xinli was a little surprised, he knew Lin Jinyu's character, he didn't like to hide it, he loved it passionately, and hated it as much as he could.

"What are you doing, what kind of eyes?" Lin Jinyu said, "Really, if your family doesn't interfere with you or affect the two of us, I won't force you."

In other words, if it is affected, it should be said, for example, if the urging for the marriage is very urgent, and Zhang Xinli himself cannot handle it well.

This was his concession and an understanding to Zhang Xinli.

Zhang Xinli looked at his neck that was exposed outside the cotton pajamas, and said, "Let's think about it, if I can say it, I will say it."

Before Lin Jinyu could speak, he continued, "My dad just asked me to wire money to him."

"Ah," Lin Jinyu said, "We're both so poor, where did we get the money from?"

Tucao return to Tucao, he was very pleased that Zhang Xinli took the initiative to tell him this.

"Let's find a way," Zhang Xinli said, "I'm optimistic about the place, and I'm going to work there. Although the salary is not very high, it's good to get a little bit of money."

In the urban areas, there are mid-to-high-end nightclubs and restaurants with a flat head and a full face, and the waiters are crowded. They stipulate that undergraduates and above, and English are preferred, and part-time jobs are not allowed. They can only go to some poor conditions. settle down.

Lin Jinyu still despises those jobs that are plucked to death and only pay for sesame meat, but procrastination doesn't seem to be a problem. Why is it so hard to find a good job?

Zhang Xinli made a decision here, and he felt that he couldn't lag behind. After thinking about it, Lin Jinyu thought of a trick and said, "Hey, I have an idea. A few days ago, I saw a bunch of tutors in our school's campus group. One or two hundred per hour is much faster than the waiter’s money, I’ll go check it out tomorrow, I’m sure it will work.”

This idea has been circling in his mind for several days. Lin Jinyu has attended that kind of one-on-one full-time math tutoring class before. Thanks to this, he knows where there is an institution nearby, and he can go by himself without being introduced by an acquaintance. Zhang Xinli just called Back then, he had relied on the almighty Internet to briefly review the knowledge in his middle school textbooks. Those things that seemed rare in the past seemed to be the same now. Thinking that it is not easy to teach a younger brother or sister in junior high school, Lin Jinyu is quite I signed the ticket with some confidence.

Zhang Xinli couldn't do the tutoring job, so he put his hand on Lin Jinyu's shoulder, squeezed his earlobe, and said, "I hope so."

The sum of the two of them is only a few tens of dollars. If they can't find a way, they will really have to eat the northwest wind full of car exhaust.

Lin Jinyu saw the faint melancholy look in his brows and eyes, smiled, and wanted to say something to cheer up the two of them, but before she could speak—the big light on the ceiling of the room didn't even flicker, and suddenly went out, and the darkness suddenly Advent.

At the same time, the mobile phone on the bed sheet, which was originally in the off-screen state, lights up, and the date is displayed on the lock screen interface, indicating that the charging has been interrupted.The outline of Zhang Xinli's face before the lights went out remained in Lin Jinyu's vision. Outside the window, the building opposite was brightly lit. In the sea of ​​thousands of lights, only their small square window was dark.

Probably because Zhang Xinli used up the last bit of electricity left after blowing Lin Jinyu's hair just now... Now the balance of the meter has returned to zero, and the power is cut off.
