senior [rebirth]

In the next 10 minutes to the dessert shop, Lin Xi didn't talk to Xu Han for half of the time, and when he was about to reach the dessert shop, he trotted all the way and got in first.

Xu Hanlai raised his eyebrows behind his back alone.

The dessert shop is near Mancheng Park. Unlike the small vendors around the school, it does not take the students' school hours as the peak hours.It was past eight o'clock, and there were fewer customers in the store.

The old couple's surname is Dong, and Lin Xi usually calls him "Grandpa Dong" and "Grandma Dong", and it's the same today.He and Liu Hao learned how to make the elderly happy, and shouted loudly as soon as they entered the store.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw that the two of them had come, and they were shouting so enthusiastically. The two old people were very happy.Grandpa Dong took off his presbyopic glasses and walked out from behind the cashier cheerfully, and Grandma Dong also smiled and put down the cake in her hand.

Both of them were intellectuals of the previous generation. After retirement, the children were busy, so they set up a dessert shop to pass the time, and unexpectedly ran into Lin Xi and the others.

The old man likes well-behaved children. Grandma Dong smiled so much that she lost her eyesight when she saw Lin Xi, and said happily, "Oh, it's Xi Xi and Han Han."

In a word, Xu Hanlai's footsteps froze just as he entered the door.

In the past few days, he either went to school or accompanied Lin Xi, or bought books, causing Xu Han to almost forget what the two elders called him since they met, and it was the kind that couldn't be changed even if he corrected it.

Lin Xi wasn't used to it either, and couldn't help laughing every time he heard the old man call him that.Just because I wanted to hear it, I ran all the way in.

Xu Han looked at the child who was secretly shaking his shoulders with his back turned to him, squinted his eyes, and then walked his stiff steps again as if nothing happened, looking very calm: "Well, Grandma Dong."

Grandma Dong smiled kindly: "Okay, hello, hello, oh, I didn't expect you two guys to really come. I was talking with you, Grandpa Dong. There is no one in this store. The atmosphere is too dull. Come on Come, come quickly, I just made white sugar cake, come and taste it."

Xu Hanlai didn't like this kind of too sweet, so he stopped after eating one symbolically. Lin Xi ate a full four in order to make Grandma Dong happy.

In the end, it was Xu Hanlai who ordered him next to him: "The pancakes you ate just now, can you eat so much?"

Grandpa Dong quickly grabbed Grandma Dong and took away the white sugar cake.

Lin Xi hiccupped lightly while sitting on the bench.

I heard from the second elder that today it was originally agreed that the grandson and granddaughter would come to the store to visit them, but because the son was busy, he didn't come, and no one ate the candies and biscuits they had prepared.

"It's better for us Xixi and Hanhan. Grandma will wrap it up for you in a while, and you can take it home to eat, and bring some for Haohao. Last time, did you say that he lives in school?" Grandma Dong especially likes Lin Xi, At this moment, he fondled his head several times.

Grandpa Dong glared at her from the side, and said softly, "You didn't make it for others and just stuffed it for others, it's outrageous!"

"What's so outrageous? I sent a message in the morning to ask Xixi to come, and then Qianqian didn't say no. She already had Xixi's share, why can't I give it away? I originally wanted Qianqian to Look at such a good brother." Grandma Dong stared back: "If you don't understand, don't talk too much."

"Hey?" Grandpa Dong shrank his head back, but couldn't find a word to go back for a while, so he looked at it dryly for a long time, and when Grandma Dong entered the back kitchen, he turned his head and pointed to the kitchen and said to Lin Xi: "Oh, Xi Xi Did you see that she bullied me, didn't she rely on me to let her?"

Lin Xi was holding the water that Grandpa Dong handed him just now to relieve his tiredness, and his eyes were squinted: "I'm looking at Grandpa."

Grandpa Dong turned to look at Xu Hanlai.

Xu Hanlai was also laughing, and said before he called himself, "I'm watching too, Grandpa."

Grandpa Dong rubbed his head embarrassingly with his two smiles, and for a long time he himself became happy, restrained his exaggerated gestures, put his hand on the reading glasses, and pointed to the cup in Lin Xi's hand: "Is it better? Tired?"

Lin Xi shook his head: "I'm not tired anymore."

"Don't blame your grandma Dong, she just misses Qianqian so much. Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise she will definitely be sad all night." Grandpa Dong said as he walked back to the cashier: "Grandpa Thank you both."

Old people still like to read books even when they are old. There are quite a few piles in the corners of the cash register, but most of them are old.Grandpa Dong pressed the book, stuffed the bookmark into it neatly, and closed it lightly.

"You're welcome, grandpa, I also like Grandma Dong, and my summer vacation is not over yet, so I should come and visit often." Lin Xi responded with a smile.

Grandpa Dong looked at Lin Xi for a while, then took off his glasses and said, "Oh, I remembered, you are a year younger than Haohao and the others, right?"

"Yes." Lin Xi nodded.

Grandpa Dong put his glasses legs to his mouth and nodded, then looked at Xu Hanlai: "Then Han Han is a senior in high school?"

Lin Xi suppressed a laugh.

Xu Hanlai lowered his eyes and glanced at him, then gently pushed his back against his back with his knee, and sat Lin Xi upright, without changing his face, he replied: "Yes."

"Then high school will be gone soon. The third year of high school has passed so fast. It's gone in a blink of an eye. My son was there back then." Grandpa Dong laughed as he said, "So you want to go to a good university, study Do you have any major?"

Lin Xi was pushed a little, but it didn't hurt, and he raised his head to look at the senior.

There were spare chairs in the store, but Xu Hanlai didn't sit on them, and stood behind Lin Xi all the time. At this moment, his answer to Grandpa Dong's question was very straightforward: "Think it over."

Did not take the initiative to express their own ideas.

Grandpa Dong paused for a moment, then became cheerful and didn't ask any further questions, he just said: "Just think it over, you can see that he is a very thoughtful kid, Xi Xi, you should learn more from your senior."

"Hey, good." Lin Xi responded.

"What are you talking about?" Grandma Dong, who had packed candies and biscuits, came out of the back kitchen, showing disgust when she saw Grandpa Dong put the legs of his glasses to his mouth.

Grandpa Dong hurriedly put away his glasses and changed the subject before she could speak: "Han Han is in his third year of high school, and I'm talking to them about the college entrance examination."

Just as Lin Xi wanted to have fun, he felt a hand land on his shoulder from behind, and the cold body temperature went directly through his clothes, and he quickly choked it back.

Glancing up secretly, he happened to look down at the senior with a smile on his eyes.

Lin Xi quickly pursed his mouth into a bun.

Grandma Dong who came out saw him like this, laughed again, handed the biscuit to his hand, and patted the top of the gift box lightly: "Speaking of this, it's really time to think about it, Xi Xi Xiao It's time to think about it, the goal is set early, and it doesn't have to be rich and expensive, as long as you like it, you have to work for the rest of your life."

Grandpa Dong next to her reminded her: "Hey, his grandma, the times are different from ours now. Didn't you hear what Chengzi said a while ago? Now their company has two jobs. There are so many people who work secretly and change careers, life is difficult, and you have to sit in the back seat whether you like it or not, how can there be such a thing as doing what you like for the rest of your life?"

When Grandma Dong heard this, she was unhappy: "That's so tiring, and it's because young people set limits for themselves. No matter how hard it is, it's as difficult as we were back then? I said two days ago that I wanted to be a teacher. , This idea is very suitable, but after graduation, I have to learn from others to start a business, and I can’t compare with others who really have ideas. I rely on hard work, but I am so busy that I don’t have time to take a breath, I don’t even laugh, and my mind is full of customer performance. Xixi is such a cute kid, I can't learn from you Cheng Zige."

Lin Xi sat on the chair holding the cup and smiled, and nodded obediently after listening to Grandma Dong's words.

Grandpa Dong watched it for a while, then made a face at Grandma Dong and said, "Did you see, even young people don't care about you."

At that time, Grandma Dong turned to the back of the cash register to beat Grandpa Dong.

Lin Xi outside hurriedly got up and said, "No, no, grandma, I heard it, I know it, and I will choose the one I like."

It didn't stop Grandma Dong from taking pictures of Grandpa Dong, and then took away his reading glasses aggressively and put them away.

After spending some more time with the elders, it was almost 09:30 when Lin Xi and Xu Hanlai left the dessert shop to go home.

Grandma Dong sent them to the door, waved her hand, and told them to come often when they were free.

It was getting late outside, and the lights of various modern buildings near Mancheng Park had already been turned on. After Lin Xi got out of the small shop on the street, he reluctantly glanced at the elders in the shop.

Lin Xi liked them quite a lot. After thinking about it, he said to Xu Han: "I want to send some delicious cake recipes to Grandma Dong in two days."

The cake shop has only just opened, except for the fact that Lin Xi and the others were very prosperous when they first opened for the elderly, and even attracted the help of the elderly and their children, the business has gradually leveled off.Lin Xi thought, send more delicious recipes, so that there will be more customers in the store, Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong will not feel lonely, maybe it is better to invite more employees because of the booming business .

Anyway, it should be impossible for him to open a pet coffee in this life, so he can give them all the cakes and biscuits that he researched in his previous life.On the one hand, it made the elders happy, and on the other hand, the small desserts he had worked out with great difficulty could be considered useful, and they were not wasted in Lin Xi's heart.

Nine o'clock is the time for people who have eaten dinner after get off work to go out for a walk. There are more people around Mancheng Park than before.Lin Xi followed the senior and walked towards home. As he walked, he realized that the senior didn't answer what he just said.

Lin Xi looked up curiously: "Senior?"

After a while, Xu Han came to answer: "Huh?"

Lin Xi tilted his head: "What are you thinking?"

Someone passed between them, Xu Hanlai stepped aside and said, "Yes."

Lin Xi was a little curious.

The senior also heard what Grandma Dong said just now, and half a month has passed since he said he wanted to be admitted to Nancheng University. Could it be that I changed my mind at this time, stopped studying astronomy, and returned to the path of choosing finance in my previous life?

So he hesitated for two seconds and asked, "What are you thinking?"

After going through the few days of checking the household registration, it is not difficult for Lin Xi to ask such questions.

Xu Hanlai lowered his eyes and glanced at him, and said slowly, "I'm wondering why such a cute kid like Xixi has to learn from Brother Cheng Zi."

Lin Xi: "?"

These words were so familiar to his ears that he choked for a long time before he remembered that Xu Hanlai was imitating Grandma Dong's words.

Surprised and funny for a moment, he opened his mouth and said after a long time: "...No, I didn't learn from Brother Cheng Zi."

"Really?" Xu Hanlai tilted his head and looked at him with those deep eyes.

"That's right," Lin Xi was still very frank under the gaze, "I chose the one I like."

What Grandma Dong said just now did not have much impact on Lin Xi.He lived for himself in his last life until he was 27 years old. Although he failed to enter his favorite history major, he lived a leisurely life as a pet cafe later, which is considered a very good life.

The biggest regret is the senior.

Lin Xi is very willing to use that kind of life to exchange seniors, and even the future with seniors.It is impossible to be perfect everywhere in life in this world, and it is already very good to get one, and it is the one he wants most.

So the moment he came back here, he had already made the decision to work hard for the senior, didn't he?Although the time spent here was much longer than expected, and it is unbelievable to think about it carefully, but the opportunity did not come easily, and Lin Xi never wavered from this idea.

So he laughed and asked Xu Hanlai: "You, senior, do you still like astronomy?"

There was a wind on a summer evening, blowing the hair of the two of them.When Lin Xi turned his head to look at the senior, he inadvertently noticed that Mancheng Hospital was opposite.

The park and dessert shop are on one side, while Mancheng Hospital is opposite Mancheng Park.Lin Xi didn't pay much attention on the way here before, but only now did he realize the geographical environment.It was at this position last time that he saw Li Rende who was hesitating at the entrance of the hospital.

And this time, in the flow of people across the street... Li Rende was also there.

He just got out of the taxi, and he seemed to be with Lin Meiling. He helped Lin Meiling out of the car, then hurried back into the car and took out a plastic bag. He accidentally dropped something on the ground in a hurry. Picked it up in a hurry, then nodded and thanked the driver.

Lin Xi's expression froze, and his steps slowed down a bit.

When Xu Hanlai who was next to him noticed and looked over, Li Rende and Lin Meiling had already entered the hospital.He was not as familiar with the two people as Lin Xi, and he couldn't capture the flashing backs of people so clearly when they came and went.

"What are you looking at?" So Xu Hanlai asked him directly.

"It's nothing." Lin Xi withdrew his gaze, and subconsciously squeezed the phone with his hand in his pocket.

Xu Han came to see him for a long time, and then looked at the hospital opposite. Although he didn't find anything unusual, he seemed to have guessed something based on what he knew about Lin Xi.

The sky overhead was dark and there were very few stars today.Xu Hanlai looked up, and instead of pointing to Lin Xi directly, he chose to answer his question just now: "Well, it's still Tianwen."

"Oh." Lin Xi responded in a low voice.

He felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't think too much about the senior's words, just pretending that he hadn't changed his mind.

Until I heard Xu Hanlai say slowly: "Grandpa Dong is right. I do have more ideas, and I will not change after I make a decision. This is the case when I move out of the house, and the major is also the same, so Xiao Lin, you don't need to ask this question in the future. "

Lin Xi raised his head in astonishment.

... The seniors have always been gentle, and one of the external manifestations of this gentleness is to leave room for speech.

He seldom said a thing so deadly.

Although the tone sounded very relaxed, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, when Lin Xi raised his head to look at him, his peach blossom eyes were the same as usual, without too much sternness, but Lin Xi could hear him The slight difference in the wording.

After walking two steps forward, Xu Hanlai reached out and patted the child's back, and made a suggestion.

"You've been by my side recently, and the second year of high school is about to start, do you want to visit your uncle?"
