Song Song

What Lin Xiaosong misses most is money.

Early the next morning, he went to the hotel. Under the eyes of everyone talking, he didn't agree with a word, cleaned up his things, moved out the "Labor Contract Law of the People's Republic of China" No. 40 and seven, and reached out to the manager to ask for money.

If you don't, I'll take it to court.

People say that "barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes", and if you are in a hurry, you will risk your life. The manager calmed down and asked the finance to pay him last month's salary and part of the compensation, and sent him away.

Lin Xiaosong walked across the street with his small body held high and swaggered away. A colleague who had played well before came to help him move things, and followed beside him: "Xiaosong, your posture just now, oh, really amazing."

"That's not."

"Where did you learn it?"

"Watched it on TV."

The colleague laughed, and asked again: "That boyfriend of yours really has a wife?"

Lin Xiaosong pouted hard, "Bullshit boyfriend, I don't know him well, he has been chasing me for more than half a year, and I didn't agree."

"Did those people who beat you the day before yesterday come from his wife?"

Walking outside the lobby, the sunlight dazzled his eyes, Lin Xiaosong squinted his eyes, took the cardboard box from his colleague, and said carelessly: "Who knows, now that the country is cracking down on crime, they have squatted The number is gone."

The colleague was stunned for a while, then slowly reacted, and praised again: "You are really amazing."

Lin Xiaosong pretended to be proud: "Learn a bit, let's go."

In the evening, Lin Xiaosong took Lele to Zhou Yue's house.

Zhou Yue called for Youyou and asked her to take her younger sister to play first, while she dragged Lin Xiaosong to sit on the sofa for a while.

"Brother Pingchuan isn't home?"

"He has something to do at night, so he went to dinner with some business friends." Zhou Yue couldn't hold back, and moved closer, "Tell me, what's the matter, I have to wait until today to talk about it."

Lin Xiaosong was indifferent: "Sister Xiaoyue, I'm getting married."

Zhou Yue smiled in surprise: "I told your brother yesterday that he must be getting married. Well, I guessed it right. That Mr. Zhou proposed to you?"

Lin Xiaosong said, "It's not him."

Zhou Yue suppressed her smile, looked at Lin Xiaosong, and pulled out a dry smile in embarrassment, "Who is that?"

"You know him." Lin Xiaosong pursed his lips, "The one I talked about before, Chu Yi."

Zhou Yue was in a hurry, and could no longer care about the difference between men and women, so she poked Lin Xiaosong's head with her index finger, "Why are you so stupid!"

Lin Xiaosong lowered his eyes, feeling extremely lonely: "The one surnamed Zhou has a wife."

Zhou Yue folded her arms, held her breath, and said, "Then sister will introduce you again, let's pick one by one, and the one surnamed Chu cannot be taken."

"I've picked so many, and no one wants to be with me when I hear that I have a child with me."

Lin Xiaosong completely compromised his own situation. This is not a fairy tale world of naivety and fantasy, and everyone is running around for reality.

Zhou Yue mourned his misfortune and angered him, but when he thought about it, the child himself was a ruthless boy who came out to work at a young age and had no one to discipline him at home. Parents who were born but not raised.

Zhou Yue said in a low voice: "Forget it, you are the master of your affairs, and you have to think clearly for yourself."

"I've figured it out."

"Is the surname Chu treating you well?"

Lin Xiaosong nodded: "It's okay, he also said that he would buy me a house, and I don't want their things."

Zhou Yue poked his elm bump, "Why not, let him buy you a set and write your name on it."

"That's worth a lot of money."

"I heard from my sister that not only the house, but also the salary card will be given to you in the future. This is what he owes."

Lin Xiaosong lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Up to now, Zhou Yue and his wife have never asked Lin Xiaosong where the child that was in their womb went. In fact, they would know without asking. In all likelihood, they did not survive, otherwise they would always be with them.

As for where Lele came from, they didn't ask. Lin Xiaosong said it was his daughter, so this little girl was his daughter.

During the meal, Zhou Yue talked about the house again, and asked him if he thought about where to buy it.

Lin Xiaosong told him exactly: "He said he liked the house on the other side of the bridge."

"I know, it's newly opened." Zhou Yue took food for the two children, "It seems to be more than 8 yuan per level."

Lin Xiaosong munched on the vegetables in his mouth, his eyes flashed in shock, "It's so expensive."

Zhou Yue said: "Its school district is good, more than 8 yuan is not expensive."

Lin Xiaosong continued to eat in a muffled voice, and simply calculated in his mind that it would cost more than 400 million yuan to buy a small house of 50 square meters. Even if he didn't eat or drink, he would have to save for [-] years.

Be a good boy, don't dare to think about it.

Youyou is about to be promoted to the first class in kindergarten. When she saw Lele, she acted like a little teacher, teaching painting and playing the piano. Besides, she kept asking, "When will you go to kindergarten with me?"

Lele giggled, glanced at her father, and said, "I'll go right away."

"Then you have to listen to the teacher."

"Sister, I am very obedient."

Zhou Yue laughed at her daughter: "You little Lai Xuejing, you still take care of your sister."

Lin Xiaosong looked at Lele, smiled relievedly, then looked at the time, it was time to go, got up to say goodbye to Zhou Yue, and took his daughter away.

The weather was too hot. Passing by Luo Sen, Lin Xiaosong bought a small box of ice cream for the child. Lele took a few steps, took a small bite and put it in his mouth. He walked leisurely like this. For a section of the one-kilometer road, father and daughter The two walked for about ten minutes.

The subway was stuffy, and the smell of sweat and perfume was strong and intertwined, irritating people's nasal cavity, and Lin Xiaosong was a little out of breath.

"Hello Director Jiang, I'm Lin Xiaofeng from Liansheng Pharmaceutical, you can call me Xiaolin... Yes, yes, I left that for you. I will go to your office this afternoon, but you are not here."

A familiar accent came through the crowd, Lin Xiaosong swallowed, stretched his neck to search for the source of the sound - a man in a shirt and black pants with a patterned smile was standing next to the handrail on the phone.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy." The man hung up the phone, gritted his teeth and cursed, "Fuck it".

Lin Xiaosong turned his head away, and deliberately covered half of his face with his hands. He has been away from home for six years, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with his family members.

His younger brother lazily walked to the opposite seat and sat down, with his legs crossed, sitting in a bold posture, listening to music with headphones inserted.

The two brothers look alike, with fair skin and beautiful eyes. The only difference is that Lin Xiaofeng has a long beard, and you can see the light blue stubble around his mouth that he hasn't had time to take care of.

The masculine symbol of seriousness, Lin Xiaosong lacks here. When his parents named his younger brother "Xiaofeng", it sounds much tougher than his "Xiaosong".

Lin Xiaosong glanced furtively. When the subway arrived at the station, a group of people got off one after another, but not many people got on.

"Father, will I go to school with Sister Youyou in the future?" Lele has already pinned the word "拉拉".

Lin Xiaosong lowered his voice, still tilting his head on purpose, "Her house is far away from ours, so you won't be together."

Lele was a little disappointed: "Then I can't play with my sister."

Lin Xiaosong smiled: "Why not, we can go and play with my sister."

Soon it was the next stop, and there were more people getting off at this stop. Lin Xiaosong patted his daughter, "Hey, let's sit somewhere else."

"why?"

It was this crisp and bright child's voice, and his brother's eyes glanced over with interest.

Lin Xiaosong noticed it, and without further ado, he pulled Lele out of the car, and Lin Xiaofeng stood up and followed.

Walking all the way to the elevator, Lin Xiaosong finally stopped and asked coldly, "Why are you following me?"

His brother's eyes lingered on Lele, "Who is this kid?"

"It's none of your business, take care of yourself."

His younger brother said foolishly: "Who was this born for?"

Lin Xiaosong clenched his daughter's hand tightly, his teeth chattering with anger, "I gave birth to it myself, so it's up to you."

"I don't care, as long as you don't take the wild species home, don't embarrass our parents."

Lin Xiaosong let go of Lele, stepped forward and slapped his younger brother's ears. There was a crisp "pia", and the people around him slowed down and stopped to watch the play.

"Shut up if you can't speak, and don't spray shit everywhere!" Lin Xiaosong has been in society for a long time, and he can speak all kinds of crude words and slang.

His younger brother touched his face, and smiled shamelessly, "Women only hit people in the face, bro, are you?"

"I'm a bitch, so you're the bitch's younger brother. I sent all the money I earned from part-time jobs back to you for school, so you'll learn to be like this."

"After all, you're still angry with your family and didn't send you to school." Lin Xiaofeng's words poked into his heart.

Lin Xiaosong was completely defeated. The source of his low self-esteem was not only his unmasculine body, but also his lack of education. Wherever he went, he always said what he said, which was vulgar and vulgar.

"Give me back the money!" Lin Xiaosong grabbed his brother's shirt collar.

Lin Xiaofeng said coldly: "Mom asked me to contact you. If you are not busy during the Chinese New Year, she will let you go home and have a look."

Lele hid behind and sobbed in fear, pulled Lin Xiaosong's trouser legs, and moaned, "Dad, don't hit anyone."

Lin Xiaosong let go, took the child around and got on the elevator.

His younger brother chased after him, took out 1000 yuan from his wallet, and stuffed it into Lele's pocket, "Go home and have a look when you have time."

"Take your money."

Lin Xiaofeng didn't look at him, but looked down at Lele: "I'm the uncle at home, and I buy candy to eat."

Lele's tears were still wet, sticking to her eyelashes wetly. Looking up at "uncle" in front of her, she shook her head and said no.

The escalator was about to reach the top, Lin Xiaosong stepped out with the child's creaking nest in his arms, and went to the east, his brother didn't follow, the money remained in the child's pocket intact.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at his brother's back, recalling the last night of that man's stay at home. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, a sheep and scorpion hot pot was cooking on the big round table at home, boiling and bubbling. His brother stumbled from the room Come out and hand him a small box.

His brother smiled with two dimples: "I bought the mobile phone for you."

His parents said: "He is a high school student, what kind of mobile phone do you want, Xiao Song, you can use it yourself."

"Everyone has them, Xiaofeng can't place an order, just keep them."

He glanced at Lin Xiaosong awkwardly: "Thank you."

Lin Xiaofeng, a high school student, fell in love with comparisons and showing off his wealth. He had nothing to show off, so he tried his best to cover up his poverty and the big secret buried in his heart.

That secret was like a bomb, and it was uncertain when it would ignite and explode—too bad, there was a freak of a man and a woman in the family.

In a small place, the most fearful thing is that people's words are terrible, one word is passed on to ten, ten to one hundred, and in the end no one can tell clearly.
