Epiphanies of Rebirth

Before the annual holiday, there were many changes.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and the people in the city gradually dispersed. It was rare for Lin Jingzhe to feel the emptiness, just like what he felt when he came to Yan City for the first time in this life.

The changes of the city seem to start to flow inadvertently like water. This is not swallowing, but a kind of encroachment that is increasing every day.There are more and more real estate under construction, and the traffic on the streets is getting denser. The people living in it, even Lin Jingzhe, couldn't be touched in the first place, but when he came to the company this morning, Deng Mai chatted with him like a family He said, "Sure enough, it's almost Chinese New Year, and there's a place on the subway."

It's also quite pitiful. After all, he is an executive who started in real estate. Deng Maida has to go out early to catch the subway to work during the Chinese New Year.In fact, Lin Jingzhe paid him quite a high salary, but Deng Mai spent too much during this period.

He bought a second-hand house along the subway line. The house is not too new, but the location is really good, just right in the core area.In the past, his living expenses were too high, and his wages were all used to burn his head to catch up with the trend. This time, the huge sum of money made him empty out his few savings, and he was also burdened with loans for more than ten years.But even so, he still couldn't afford a first-hand new real estate, and he couldn't even think about high-rise and large apartments like Gao's and Zhou's.

Therefore, he probably felt very embarrassed in comparison. He kept hiding the news until after the formalities were completed. As a result, Lin Jingzhe went to see it and was completely stunned. It turned out to be a small courtyard house.

The yard is not big, and the sewage is messy and messy inside. There are also bicycles with missing wheels that were ruthlessly abandoned by the previous owner. The messy furniture is piled up at the door of the house, and the roof tiles are broken.Deng Mai looked shy while tidying up: "You all have a house, so I just pay it back... No matter what the house is, I have to write a set under my name. After I save enough money in a few years, I will replace it. Real estate, change to a better place to live in. It’s not enough now, hehe, I wanted to buy a car first.”

Lin Jingzhe looked at the city gate in the distance, and murmured: "Farewell, it's fine here."

From buying a house before until now, he has never thought of this option. It is really a courtyard house, and the future generations are really far away from the normal real estate trading market.But at present, Yan City has not yet perfected the concept of real estate. The courtyard houses in the alleys are almost full of people living together, and the living environment is really not very comfortable.The commercial housing has just been launched, but it is modern and trendy. Compared with it, it is undoubtedly a more popular choice. Many old residents with ample money are moving to new houses.

When Lin Jingzhe said this, Deng Mai thought he was comforting himself, and was very moved.To be honest, if he had paid more down payment, he would definitely move in with Gao Sheng's family as neighbors.But anyway, there is no rush, his salary will only get higher and higher, and it is not too late to buy a new house in the future.If he bought this set first, he would be considered a house owner anyway!

Lin Jingzhe looked at him smirking and busily busy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that some people are lucky to be rich.Although Deng Mai didn't know him well in his previous life, he was obviously the best of them. In this life, the other party just bought a house. It's broken and small. After ten or twenty years, the price is estimated to be It will be higher than the 20 square meters of Gao Sheng's house.

Deng Mai picked up the scattered broken tiles in the yard, and he was still full of fighting spirit: "Next year, I will save more money, and then I will sell this set, and together we can make up for the downstairs house of Gao Sheng's house."

Lin Jingzhe came back to his senses, touched his forehead and persuaded him with complicated emotions: "Farewell, if you are not used to living here, you can still buy the ones downstairs from Gao Sheng, and I will lend you what you need, and keep it here, and don't sell it. With such a big yard, when your parents get older, they will be taken care of by your side, and it will be convenient for you to plant flowers and birds."

When Deng Mai heard that, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

On the way back, he mentioned to Lin Jingzhe: "The person in charge of the TOBR company used to call Mao Dongqing all the time recently to make dinner appointments. Recently, I heard that someone gave Mao Dongqing a gift during the New Year's Eve. Do you want to keep an eye on him?" Focus?"

Deng Mai is not in charge of investment promotion, so he doesn't know anything about TOBR. He and Mao Dongqing have a good relationship, but they are somewhat competitive in terms of positions, so they are very concerned about each other's movements on weekdays.Lin Jingzhe knew this well, but he didn't intend to intervene to change anything.He and Deng Mai are good buddies, worrying about each other's work and life, and paving the way for each other, but it never means that they really trust each other.As far as his status as the boss is concerned, it is far better for the two competent underlings to have a slight disagreement than to be close as a family.

What's more, Deng Mai and Mao Dongqing both counted. Although they sometimes fight each other, when they encounter a project that requires cooperation, they will not hide their secrets regardless of the severity. With the cooperation of the two of them, the project of the complex progressed very smoothly. .

The opponent's confidants still have this trust in Lin Jingzhe, so he just shook his head when he heard the words: "Don't worry about him."

But after the annual meeting, Mao Dongqing still took the initiative to confess the matter to him, and at the same time handed in a very trendy mobile phone.

He frowned and stared at the mobile phone, as if facing a scourge in his eyes: "I refused to accept the one brought to me by the Granto, but the man put it down and left."

Now the relationship between TOBR and the complex has been completely reversed. In the past, Mao Dongqing was chasing after Mao Dongqing and begging for TOBR to enter, but now it has changed to TOBR chasing after Mao Dongqing and begging for the complex to open.As soon as the complex building and Sifeng Plaza cooperated, Sifeng Plaza immediately changed its positioning, stepping back from the high-end luxury brand that conflicts with the complex building and stepping into the mid-to-high-end market.The direct flyover between the two shopping malls was added to the construction plan immediately after approval. This ingenious idea also directly combined the influence of the two shopping malls into one, organizing it into the most invincible shopping mall circle under construction in Yanshi. the power of.

As soon as the news of the cooperation came out, some brands began to take the initiative to approach the investment promotion department of the complex.Recently, Gao Sheng has accumulated some connections in the fashion circle because of advertising, and also contacted Mao Dongqing with several brands that have not clearly expressed their intention to enter Yanshi for the time being.The two sides negotiated very harmoniously, and there is already some faint intention.

Grand had no choice. The decision-making tendencies of these brands in the same category had already affected the TOBR head office, and the senior management of the head office personally asked about the site selection in Yanshi.As the person in charge of TOBR China who currently has only one store to manage, Grand's power is far from enough.What he is most worried about now is that the previous grievances that started with the real estate will be known by the head office. If TOBR cannot enter the same shopping mall with the same brand because of his reasons, then he will let him go to the one that brought him infinite glory. I don't know how long I can sit there.

So he simply disregarded his face, desperately trying to restore the old relationship with Mao Dongqing, stalking and stalking him to the extreme, making Mao Dongqing look like a ghost when he heard this name recently.

Lin Jingzhe leaned forward with a smile and took the phone into his hand: "Confiscated."

Looking at his expression, Mao Dongqing knew that he didn't take it seriously, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Take it, take it. It's just that Mr. Lin and Ge Lang have nothing to do with these gifts. I think the company can still consider TOBR's cooperation. "

Lin Jingzhe asked him: "Aren't you afraid of him anymore?"

Mao Dongqing has no doubt that if she can't forgive Ge Lang, Lin Jingzhe will never let TOBR enter the mall.These days, how can there be a boss who would desperately support his money and not make money in order to vent his anger on his employees? He felt that it was not advisable, but at the same time, he inevitably felt touched and caring.Lin Jingzhe was willing to vent his anger for him, and he shouldn't ignore the interests of the company, so after a shy smile, he only whispered: "I don't take him seriously for a long time."

However, the two parties broke up at the beginning after all, and it was possible to cooperate with each other, but it was definitely not as favorable as before.

Shop area?Zoom out!

Location along the street?reduce!

Rent discount?reduce!

The rest, blah blah, Grand really shot himself in the foot.He was very dissatisfied with this, and he knew that after the contract was signed, the head office would definitely send back voices of doubt, but thinking of the tasks assigned to him, he finally had to grit his teeth and sign it.

TOBR officially announced that it has reached an investment promotion agreement with the real estate under construction shopping mall.

A shopping mall with the highest positioning in Yan City so far opened its curtain in the dusty construction site.

******

Lin Jingzhe took a few mobile phones that Mao Dongqing hadn't received as an annual gift, and gave them to the elders of the Gao family and the Zhou family.

Deng Mai set off early for Li Yun.His parents were still working in Li Yun, at least they couldn't do without them before they retired, and it was even more impossible to give up the familiar environment and come to Yan City with him to celebrate the New Year, so only one friend could be absent from the New Year's Eve dinner this year.

Everyone was reunited at Zhou Haitang's house, and the huge restaurant was bustling with activity.

Mother Zhou rolled out the noodles on the dining table, imitating the way the northerners here in Yanshi made dumplings.Both Lin Jingzhe and Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang were dragged to help, and the speed of the three of them making dumplings couldn't keep up with Zhou's mother rolling out the dumplings by herself.She really has a talent for cooking, but she can do all the work related to the kitchen very beautifully.Pressing the rolling pin lightly, the other hand squeezed it with a wave, a soft and round dough flew up in the air, twirled and threw it on the table, and Lin Jingzhe stuffed it full of stuffing and broke it.

"My God, my God." Hu Yu watched Lin Jingzhe spoil more than a dozen dumplings, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to push the troublesome child away, "Okay, okay, let's go watch TV." you."

After Lin Jingzhe was pushed away, she casually wiped her hands and didn't leave, just squatting there to listen to everyone's chatter.

This is their first year in Yan City. In the new house, the place is completely different from the previous ten or twenty years, but it miraculously does not make anyone feel strange.Sure enough, reunions don't matter where they are, as long as the right people are together, even in an unfamiliar environment, they can still be filled with the atmosphere of "home".

Everyone's life is already on the right track. They are busy in their own way on weekdays, and they rarely get together.But after leaving work and school and returning to life, they are still a family close enough to talk about everything.

Zhou's mother should be the busiest one. Haitang Food Factory's bean paste has been quickly promoted to major cities across the country by the wind of the "Legend of Jianghu" advertisement.In order to supply such a huge market, she was almost busy building new factories in the last few months of the year.The second factory couldn't be located in Yan City due to the large area. She and Wang Quan directly located the factory in a nearby city, and set up all the production lines at once.

The hot sales of Doubanjiang and the influence of the "Legend of Jianghu" advertisement far exceeded their expectations. Lin Jingzhe held 30.00% of Wu's shares, and the dividends he could get last year exceeded 500 million.Although he didn't get any cash in the end, and the profits were directly invested in the new factory area, but after the completion of the new factory, according to the current development, he can also guess how high the future returns will be.

That would probably be a terrifying number.

While making dumplings quickly, Hu Yu talked about what happened to him at school recently.

She was wearing the new clothes sent by Lin Jingzhe, the shirt was white and clean, and her mid-length hair was cut neatly, just like her quiet and gentle temper.After reading for a while in the afternoon, she forgot to take off the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and looked down at the fat dumplings that were rapidly forming in her hands. She looked calm and calm like a teacher who was carefully correcting homework.

It was only when Lin Jingzhe figured out the inside story of her auditing at the Normal University, and it was amazing to say it.

Hu Yu's age was the biggest obstacle for her postgraduate entrance examination. No matter how good her grades were, few tutors would be willing to accept such a student who was approaching retirement age.Hu Yu is obviously well aware of her own shortcomings. She studies very hard, especially in English, which she is not very good at. She almost reads information books as if she were eating.There is nothing to do on weekdays. Apart from going downstairs to the neighborhood to help the children of the neighbors with homework, she runs to the Normal University when she is free. I recognized it.

There is an old professor in her 50s in the Department of Education who is soft-hearted. Seeing her taking notes so carefully among a group of young students, she doesn’t chase her away every time she recognizes her, just pretends that she hasn’t seen her.

But not all professors have this heart, so Hu Yu is often "invited" outside the classroom.

She was thin-skinned, and after being invited out, she was embarrassed to sneak into the classroom, and only listened outside the classroom.As a result, when I was drawing a key point on the handrail of the corridor, I was seriously called to the office by the old professor.

The old professor took a few papers that Hu Yu had tried to write before, and scolded her a lot. After scolding, he gave her a formal witness.

After getting the audit pass, Hu Yun became more and more busy, trying not to miss the classes he could attend.The old professor would occasionally arrange for her to enter the small classroom a few times, and assign her homework if she had nothing to do. If there was any dissatisfaction with the content, he would absolutely sternly yell at the table, it was too fierce.

Hu Yu was still recalling the references she had read in the afternoon when she was making dumplings, for fear that something might be wrong with her New Year's homework, and she was even more serious than her own son Gao Sheng who was going to college seriously.

Before the exam, Gao Sheng was busy dealing with the business of the advertising company, so he didn't have time to review.

But he secretly told Lin Jingzhe and Zhou Haitang not to speak out.

Fortunately, no one has time to care about his grades this year. Zhou Haitang, who is about to change his major, is the most important thing at the end of the term.

A hundred dumplings gradually took shape in Hu Yu's hands, together with Lin Jingzhe's dozen or so patches and patches.The two fathers who were hiding on the sofa in the living room and didn't want to work were summoned and went to the kitchen with a tray to order dumplings.The boiling water in the pot blasted away the cloud-like steam, and the fathers were busy in the kitchen of the snack bar on Sun Street all day long, and they couldn't escape this scene at the end of the year after all.

But men also have their careers.

In the kitchen, the fathers who served dumplings were discussing about opening a branch next year.

The store on Sun Street opened at the beginning of the year, and it has been nearly a year now. In less than a year, its reputation has already been established among the residents in the south of the city.Although Zhou's father's craftsmanship is not as good as Zhou's mother's, it is still much better than most of the current restaurants. Zhou's father, who is satisfied with a small fortune, is stimulated by his wife's increasingly large-scale business, and he begins to feel uneasy Gan lag behind.

Increasing passenger flow and increasingly crowded stores made him realize that expansion is imperative.

He has brought in a new wave of apprentices, and he is also optimistic about the store that will be his next target. This time it is a bustling commercial area in the east of the city, with a store area of ​​[-] square meters.

Father Zhou wants to officially transform the business model of a "snack bar" into a "restaurant".

However, Zhou's mother was busy with the work of Haitang Food Factory, and she no longer had the energy to participate in it. Zhou's father's biggest partner became Gao Sheng's father.The pair of old buddies who had a very happy cooperation in the snack bar decided to continue the entanglement. The two parties redistributed the shares according to the proportion of capital contribution. Zhou's father provided the craftsmanship, and Gao's father managed the operation.

The aroma of the dumplings fluttered, and they were poured into the frame with a large spoon. Gao Sheng first poked a chopstick and handed it to Lin Jingzhe's mouth.

Lin Jingzhe bit into her mouth obediently. The dumplings were filled with three delicacies, but it was impossible for Zhou's mother to put only simple three delicacies in them - pork mixed with shrimps, minced corn, shiitake mushrooms, shredded fungus, etc. Waiting for the accessories, wrapped in a packet of soup, burst in the mouth, soft and hot.

"good to eat!"

The meat buns in the cage were also cooked, so Mother Zhou hurriedly picked up a few on a plate and handed them to the children: "Eat something to pad your stomach first. The New Year's Eve dinner is not finished yet, so I don't know when we will be able to eat it."

The soft skin of the meat buns is just right, even shaking back and forth when placed on the plate, the milky noodle smell is immediately overwhelmed by the smell of the broken fillings, and the oily and thick gravy can't wait to flow from the gap It came out and spread on the dough, and the hungry Lin Jingzhe finished one in three bites.

The New Year's Eve dinner is still being made, and it will take at least several hours to complete it completely.

He hurriedly took out a few thermal boxes from the cupboard, and put the dumpling and meat buns drained in the basket into them: "I'll go out for a while!"

"Where are you going! It's so cold outside!" Hu Yu hurriedly chased him to the gate with an anxious expression on his face.

Lin Jingzhe smiled at her while putting on her coat: "I have something to do, I'll be back soon."

Hu Yu stretched his neck toward the corridor: "You wear more!"

****

Lin Runsheng paced around the room, looking at the phone from time to time, and he repeated to Shen Juuying: "Call Jingzhe."

Shen Juanying helped the aunt at home to tidy up the dishes, and she looked at her husband speechlessly when she heard the words: "I'll say it again, you must make this call yourself."

Lin Runsheng frowned tightly, with strong anxiety and fear in his heart, what should he say after answering the phone?

Would Jing Zhe be willing to come to the house for the New Year's Eve dinner?Didn't call all day, is it just a tactful rejection?Lin Runsheng was very worried that what he did would anger the other party inappropriately, so he wanted to make a move several times, but was suppressed by hesitation in his heart.

Shen Tiantian was so frightened by his frowning that she sat on the sofa without daring to breathe. When the doorbell rang, she couldn't wait to jump up and open the door.The cold wind hit her face along the gap of the door, before she could see who was outside the house, something hot was stuffed into her mouth.

Subconsciously chewed two mouthfuls, the delicious stuffing of the dumplings filled his mouth, an unexpected face appeared in his line of sight, Shen Tiantian's eyes lit up immediately, she rushed forward and hugged the other's arm: "Brother!"

Lin Jingzhe pinched her face: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year!" Shen Tiantian didn't close the door, she pulled Lin Jingzhe into the room, "Come in, bro, you are covered in snow, it's so cold outside."

Lin Jingzhe was staggered by her, stopped quickly, and stuffed the two thermos buckets into the arms of the little girl who was holding her: "I won't go in, I'll bring you something."

Shen Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked back into the room at a loss. Lin Runsheng and Shen Juanying had already run out, and she was a little surprised to see Lin Jingzhe.

Shen Juanying came up and wanted to pull: "We're all home, why don't we have dinner together, don't leave!"

Lin Runsheng also frowned: "There is so much snow outside, where else do you want to go?"

Lin Jingzhe was besieged helplessly, but her attitude was very firm, she smiled and confessed: "It's really impossible, I'm still waiting for dinner over there."

Shen Juuying saw that he was serious, so she hesitated for a while, Lin Jingzhe hurriedly got away: "Let's go! I will come to see you again on the first day of the new year, happy new year!"

Lin Runsheng sighed, and Shen Juanying had no choice but to compromise. She hurriedly ordered some food to be wrapped, and then took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Lin Jingzhe's pocket: "Happy New Year, good luck, you must pay attention to safety, and you must come back for dinner tomorrow. Your dad and I won't go anywhere, we won't see anyone, we'll just wait for you at home."

After watching Lin Jingzhe go out, Lin Runsheng, who had not spoken much, shrugged his mouth.

Shen Juanying touched his back to comfort him: "Okay! What else do you want, Jing Zhe has come to give you New Year's greetings, what can you be dissatisfied with!"

Lin Runsheng aggrievedly opened the thermos, glanced inside, and poked a dumpling out.

The dumplings were shapeless, concave and convex, as if they were cooked in a pot after being pinched by a bear's paw.

"This dumpling is really ugly." He stuffed this dumpling into his mouth cherishingly, and said slowly and firmly, "It must not be made by Jing Zhe."

Shen Tiantian pouted and sent Lin Jingzhe to the yard, still moaning and grumbling: "Why don't you have dinner at home, I told my friend to come and see you at home."

Lin Jingzhe didn't expect that she would want to introduce herself to her friends, so she laughed for a moment, and gently pinched her pouting mouth: "Next time, next time I will spend the whole day taking you out to play."

Shen Tiantian was still a little disappointed. After seeing him get into the car, she waved her hand slightly and bid farewell obediently: "Bye, brother."

"It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Immediately he drove into the depths.

The car had just driven into the courtyard of Xiao's house, just as a car inside broke through the wind and snow and came out. The other side stopped after a distance, Xiao Chi got out from inside, his eyes were obviously surprised.

Lin Jingzhe got out of the car with the thermos bucket in his arms, and ran to him in a hurry against the heavy snow: "Where are you going at night?"

Xiao Chi opened his mouth, looked at the two thermos buckets in his hand, suddenly laughed out loud, reached out his hand to cover his head and dragged him into the room.

The unique aroma of the Xiao family mixed with the heating came rushing towards her face. When she heard the door open, the busy Yu Shuyuan peeked out and saw her son and immediately asked loudly: "Didn't you say to send dumplings to Jingzhe? I forgot to bring something." ?”

Lin Jingzhe followed behind to enter the door, and was slightly taken aback when he heard it, Xiao Chi's deep voice rang out ahead of him: "Jingzhe is here."

"Ouch!"

Xiao's parents ran out together, and Yu Shuyuan was wearing the dress that Lin Jingzhe bought for her. When she saw Lin Jingzhe and the thermos in Lin Jingzhe's arms, she couldn't help laughing: "You child! It's a cold day. What are you running for!"

Lin Jingzhe slowed down before coming over, glanced at Xiao Chi who had a serious face, quietly clenched one hand with the other, and said with a smile: "Stop by the way to wish a New Year, happy new year."

Xiao Chi's fiery fingers got into his fingers, intertwined with his, and turned his head to stare at him: "Hands are so cold."

Yu Shuyuan also looked helpless: "Happy New Year. Why are you wearing so little, come in quickly."

The old lady came out of the Buddhist hall with a smile when she heard his voice, and hung a red string around his head: "Amitabha, you bad boy, I have been waiting for you for a day."

Lin Jingzhe looked down, only to find that what was hooked on the red rope was an amulet.

This amulet looked like it was made by myself, and the stitches were not very tight. Xiao Chi pulled it out of the sweater and pulled out an identical one. He explained to him: "Every child in the family has one."

The children of the family.

Lin Jingzhe pursed her lips and laughed: "Thank you grandma."

The old lady had already opened the insulated box he brought, took out a bun to eat, and smiled at him while eating: "It's delicious."

Xiao Shenxing sighed beside him, and said, "The meal is almost ready, don't stand by the door, come in quickly."

Lin Jingzhe has already refused to go out of experience, hearing this, she just smiled: "The family is still waiting."

Xiao Chi could hear whether his words were serious, so he said before his mother continued to ask, "Then I'll see you off."

Xiao's mother could only pack a few more dishes for Lin Jingzhe to take away, then looked at the backs of the two going out, and said to her husband helplessly: "These two children are really..."

Xiao Chi packed a box of dumplings just now and said that she would send them to Lin Jingzhe. She still couldn't understand it. She didn't expect that Lin Jingzhe would arrive early when her son went out.

Sure enough, it was a young man who secretly held hands at the gate, thinking that the elders couldn't see it, which made her feel embarrassed.

Father Xiao snorted, a little unconvinced after being rejected by Lin Jingzhe, he had originally planned to introduce him to the guests who would come to pay New Year's greetings later.

Xiao Chi took Lin Jingzhe's hand and sent him to the car parked outside the courtyard. The two reluctantly held each other's hands, and the eyes that met under the night became entangled into an inextricable ball of wool.

Lin Jingzhe said softly: "Happy New Year."

Xiao Chi came closer, didn't kiss him, but lightly touched his forehead.

"Happy New Year."

Lin Jingzhe's speed was much slower than when he came, and when he came out, he went around into the courtyard of Fang's house - the food he brought was also part of Mr. Fang's.

Fang Wenhao's parents were also at home during the New Year. After listening to the old man's introduction, he realized that the batch of far-reaching antiques was actually donated by such a young man. His attitude was surprisingly warm and polite. He was giving red envelopes and returning dishes. At that time, he even went out to see him off.

Finally, after delivering the presents, Lin Jingzhe's car slowly drove towards home. In the night, the place where the headlights passed by the snowflakes danced and danced, which was too beautiful to behold.

A brisk song was playing on the car stereo, and he happily sang along, looking straight ahead, passing an oncoming car.

"Wait!" Shi Nanxing, who was only allowed to leave the hospital on New Year's Eve in the car, stopped the driver suddenly, and then leaned on the car window to look hard by the light of the street light. The more he looked, the more familiar he became, "That's not Lin Is it Jing Zhe's car?!"

"It seems to be." Qi Kai squatted on the rear window and took a look, "What are we doing here during the Chinese New Year?"

Could it be that they came to see the Xiao family's parents?Hahahahaha!He thought about it in such a playful way, and felt that the reason was quite possible!

Shi Nanxing opened the car door with a gloomy face and got out, using the headlights to analyze the traces of Lin Jingzhe's tires on the snow. However, there is quite a lot of traffic in this area recently. He looked at it for a long time before he could barely see a relatively new imprint. .

From the direction Lin Jingzhe drove away, it stretched all the way to Fang's yard.

snort!It turned out to be the Fang family!New Year's Eve relationship flattering is here!

Shi Nanxing consciously found out the truth, and couldn't help showing a contemptuous expression on his face. He straightened up quite disdainfully, and coldly snorted in the direction where Lin Jingzhe left.

Qi Kai didn't understand the situation, so he poked his head out and called him: "Uncle, why are you getting out of the car, it's so cold outside, your legs haven't recovered yet, be careful and fall again—"

Before his words fell to the ground, Shi Nanxing, who was walking back towards the car, slipped and became dizzy.

boom--

With a solid fall, everyone present was stunned.

A few seconds later, a howl broke through the sky and rushed into the night. Lin Runsheng, who was eating the dumplings brought by Lin Jingzhe, raised his head and looked out in the dark in surprise——

"what sound?"

Shen Juanying said blankly: "I don't know, which one is killing chickens?"

When Lin Jingzhe arrived home, the mobile phone rang on the back foot, and Xiao Chi's gentle voice was like a warm lamp in winter: "Are you home yet?"

"It's here." With the help of Hu Yu, Lin Jingzhe took off his coat, and carried the thermos bucket he brought back to the dining room. After Xiao Chi's breathing, he could hear the noise, "Are there any guests at home?"

"Yeah." Xiao Chi said, "My uncle, my aunt, and a few relatives."

A strange female voice in the background asked with a smile: "Hey, while we're eating, who is Xiao Chi calling? This gentle expression..."

Xiao Chi ignored it, and Lin Jingzhe heard Yu Shuyuan ask, "Are you home?"

Xiao Chi answered out of the phone, and Yu Shuyuan urged: "Tell Xiao Lin to drink the hot soup brought to him quickly, this child is really, it's so cold outside, and he was wearing too little clothes just now."

It seems to be answering the question from the female voice just now: "Xiao Chi is calling his partner, that kid just left when he brought us dumplings. Don't care if he doesn't care about him, let them chat by themselves, let's eat first... ..."

Xiao Chi seemed to have left the meeting, the phone gradually became quiet, and he chatted with Lin Jingzhe for a few more sticky words.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jingzhe was a little dazed. He took out the red envelope that Shen Juanying had stuffed into him just now from his pocket, stared at the words "Peace and Joy" on the red envelope, and sighed softly.

Father Zhou, who opened the thermos on the table, poured the food into the plate, and looked at him curiously: "Where did you go just now? Who did you call to report that you are safe? It took so long."

"It must be with him." Zhou's mother, who knows the inside story, squeezed out a teasing smile while drinking, and asked, "Really?"

Lin Jingzhe met the concerned eyes of the people in the previous room, put away the phone after a while, and hummed with a smile.
