Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

Lin Luo couldn't bear it, so she pulled Chen Chao to sit down and spoke slowly.

"After sending you to the hospital yesterday, Uncle Wang contacted your mother. Your mother said that your father had a car accident on the road and was not rescued. Your mother was dealing with funeral arrangements. She was very worried when she heard that you were sick. Tonight You can come back in time.”

Chen Chao sat quietly. He was not surprised when he heard Lin Luo's words. This was the result he had already guessed.

"Is he still here?" Chen Chao asked.

Lin Luo knew who he was asking. Chen Maocai was still standing at the top of the stairs, looking at Chen Chao longingly.

"He is here." Lin Luo said.

"Can I talk to him?" Chen Chao looked at Lin Luo longingly.

Lin Luo was helpless and couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to say: "I can convey it to you."

After hearing this, Chen Chao stood up excitedly, looked around, and asked Lin Luo, "Where is he?"

Lin Luo saw that Chen Maocai had walked not far in front of Chen Chao.

"He is right in front of you. If you have anything to say, just say it and he can hear it."

Chen Chao's breathing was rapid due to excitement. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it before speaking:

"Dad, I like the "Encyclopedia" you bought for me when you came back last time. I was just angry that you had been away for too long, so I deliberately said I didn't like it. I also wrapped the book cover. If you don't believe me, read it. , just on the bookshelf in the study room."

Chen Chao stopped, waited for a while, and asked Lin Luo: "What did my dad say?"

Lin Luo looked at Chen Maocai, who was looking at his son in tears, and kept smiling and nodding.

"Your dad said he knew and knew you would like it," Lin Luo said.

Chen Chao was a little embarrassed and laughed twice uncomfortably, "Hey, my dad gave me all good things, and I like them all."

"Dad, don't worry. I'm grown up now. I can take good care of my mother. Well... I will also study hard in the future, stop playing around, and strive to be admitted to college. Like you said, I can bring glory to our old Chen family. "

"Your dad said that if you lie to him, he will come to you in your dream and beat you." Lin Luo relayed Chen Maocai's words.

"Hahaha." Chen Chao laughed after hearing this. Without laughing twice, he looked like he was about to cry again.

"Dad, I'm not lying to you. Can you also come into my dream and let me see you? I'm not afraid of you beating me. It doesn't hurt at all if you hit me. I cried loudly on purpose so that my mother could tell me. your."

Chen Maocai looked at his sensible son and felt a big stone fall in his heart. He no longer worried about his son, but he couldn't help feeling sad.

"Xiao Chao, it was my father's fault before. Dad shouldn't have hit you. I should have been more patient in teaching you even though the time I spent with you was so short. I should have cherished the time we spent together more. I'm sorry, Xiao Chao, you Can you forgive dad?"

Lin Luo relayed Chen Maocai's conversation to Chen Chao.

Chen Chao wiped his tears, shook his head and said:

"Dad, I didn't blame you. Sometimes, I deliberately wanted to be playful and cause trouble. I wanted my mother to complain to you and let you go home early to take care of me. I didn't really want to make you angry."

Chen Maocai was also in tears.

"Xiao Chao, you are a smart and good boy. Dad only wants you to grow up healthily and safely."

After saying these words, Chen Maocai's soul began to glow white and gradually became more transparent. Chen Maocai realized something. He said to Lin Luo:

"I have fulfilled my wish and am leaving. Thank you for your help."

Lin Luo watched Chen Maocai's soul disappear into the air without a trace. She relayed Chen Maocai's last words to Chen Chao.

"Your father said that in his heart, you are a smart and good boy. He hopes that you will grow up healthily and safely. His wish has been fulfilled and he has left."

"What do you mean by leaving?" Chen Chao asked.

"Your father's soul will come to you because of his obsession with you. He is worried about your future and regrets not accompanying you in your growth. He wants to see more of you. Now he sees your sensibleness and hears Your promise and wish are fulfilled and have gone to where they should go." Lin Luo said softly.

"Where did he go?" Chen Chao murmured.

"I don't know, but I believe that one day we will go there and meet our loved ones again."

Lin Luo patted Chen Chao on the shoulder to comfort him.

"So, you have to fulfill your promise to your father and shoulder your responsibilities, otherwise you will not be able to account for it on that day."

Chen Chao finally came to his senses, "I understand, I want to call my mother."

Lin Luo heard this and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't tell anyone what happened just now, others will think we are crazy."

Chen Chao looked at Lin Luo as if he were a fool and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret. I have more important things."

Lin Luo watched Chen Chao wipe away his tears completely and calm down before dialing his mother's phone from his home landline. He said:

"Mom, I know what happened to dad. Don't cry. I'm still here."

"Of course I have to attend the funeral. I'll ask for leave from the teacher soon."

Lin Luo watched Chen Chao hang up the phone, acting like a young adult. He quickly wrote a note asking for leave and asked Lin Luo to take it to school and give it to the class teacher. Then he quickly went upstairs to the bedroom to pack a change of clothes. Come down.

He told Lin Luo while putting his clothes and wallet into his backpack.

"My dad was cremated today and buried in his hometown village tomorrow. I have to rush back now."

"Are you alone?" Lin Luo felt uneasy.

"My dad's friend Uncle Luo is also going. I will go find him now and go with him." Chen Chao said.

Lin Luo also knew this Uncle Luo. He ran a grocery store in the town.

Lin Luo picked up the lunch box and walked out of Chen's house with Chen Chao.

------

Lin Luo accompanied Chen Chao to the grocery store owned by Uncle Luo. She did not go in. She stood at the door and listened to the conversation between Chen Chao and Uncle Luo in the store.

Luo Rensheng and Chen Maocai's ancestral home is in the same village. They were playmates in the same year, childhood classmates, and middle-aged friends. The relationship between the two is closer than that of brothers.

Luo Rensheng studied for a few more years than Chen Maocai. After graduating from technical secondary school, he worked hard in a coastal city for a few years. After saving some money, he returned to the town, bought this old house facing the street, and opened this grocery store.

Lin Luo heard that Luo Rensheng comforted Chen Chao a few words, and then told his wife about things in the store, and prepared to drive back to the village with Chen Chao for the funeral. Lin Luo saw them preparing to go out, and then left with peace of mind.

Lin Luo was in a low mood and didn't want to go home. He was walking aimlessly on the street with his lunch box. Not long after walking, he saw Wang Zhizhou leaning against the door of the store, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Hey, whose elementary school student is this? He doesn't go to school or go home, and walks around the streets?"

Lin Luo glanced at him and was not in the mood to joke with him. He walked into Wang Zhizhou's shop and sat down on the chair at the door.

"Senior brother, I still told him. He is now on his way back to his hometown to attend the funeral."

Wang Zhizhou also walked into the store and sat opposite Lin Luo.

"That's fine, it's time to say goodbye properly."

Lin Luo asked: "Is it right for me to do this?"

Wang Zhizhou asked: "Would you do something you think is wrong?"

Lin Luo looked at Wang Zhizhou and opened his eyes wide, "Of course not."

"Then it's over." Wang Zhizhou stood up cheerfully, "Let's go home for dinner."

Lin Luo glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's only around ten o'clock now."

"Let's go to Lao Li's butcher shop to buy a piece of pork belly. We'll go back and ask Chef Lin to stew the braised pork. It's just in time for dinner. It's oily and fragrant. I feel happy just thinking about it."

Wang Zhizhou couldn't wait to pull Lin Luo out of the store and closed the rolling shutter door with a "crash".

Lin Luo followed Wang Zhizhou reluctantly and couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Senior brother, if you open a store like this, you will lose money."

Wang Zhizhou swaggered forward, feeling quite proud.

"It doesn't matter. Chef Lin's dim sum is very popular, and she made money back in the afternoon."

Lin Luo was speechless after hearing this, and immediately defended his adoptive mother.

"How can you, a grown man, rely on my mother to make money?"

Wang Zhizhou stopped, turned around and tapped Lin Luo's little head with his index finger, showing an indifferent attitude.

"Children should stay away from adult matters. Don't worry, your senior brother, I am rich and will not starve to the point of being a 'little pig' like you who can only eat."

Lin Luo covered the place where he had been knocked with his hands, feeling furious.

"Who are you calling a 'little pig'? I'm still growing, so I should eat more. My mother praises me for being lucky to be able to eat."

After Wang Zhizhou finished teasing the child, he continued to move forward in a good mood.

"Yes, yes, our family is the most blessed."
