Lin Sheng parted ways with Gao Jingxuan at the train station, and the two took a taxi home to rest. They were really cold, tired, and exhausted.

Lin Sheng went home and took a hot bath in a hurry. He didn't even eat any food, so he climbed into the bed and covered the big quilt and fell asleep in the dark.After sleeping until the afternoon, when he opened his eyes, the clock on the wall had already pointed to the position of almost three.

There is no one at home.Grandma and sister-in-law took advantage of the summer vacation and everyone went out to play and went to the park to sell popcorn.And Lin Xiaoyang should be making up lessons at this point.

On the table are the meals left for him by Grandma Lin and sister-in-law. The two green vegetables are covered with something, and he serves the rice in the pot by himself.Lin Sheng was too lazy to warm up the food, and he was really hungry. He buried himself in two big bowls of rice, and his stomach didn't grow so badly.

Grandma Lin and sister-in-law are very passionate about selling popcorn, but it takes a whole day to push the cart out in this winter, Lin Sheng really doesn't want them to go.Although the winter in Changxin City is not as cold as in the north, grandma is getting older.A few days ago, Lin Sheng lost his temper because of this. Grandma Lin stayed at home for less than two days. He followed Gao Jingxuan to Beijing to look at the goods, and she went out again.

Lin Sheng was anxious, so after dinner, he rode an old bicycle with a girder at home to the park to find them.

The bicycle is quite old, and it was bought by Lin Sheng's father when he first went to work. It has been more than ten years, and the bones of Lin's father are already terribly cold. This bicycle is also very old. I dragged him out of the barn for a while, hammered and nailed it for several days, and could still hear a hoarse and unpleasant "cluck" sound when I stepped on the pedals.

I still remember that when he was a child, he sat on the front beam, and his father's arm controlling the handlebars formed a safe harbor to protect him firmly.In the summer, he would often hold a popsicle in his mouth that was sold by the old man in front of the school, and let his father catch up with that car, and then point his finger at the other one... Then there was Lin Xiaoyang, the stick in front of him The beam of the buttocks belonged to him, and he became Lin Xiaoyang who sat in the back and sat in the front. He was not much more honest than him, and he poked his father's armpit and called him "brother, brother..." no end...

At that time, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, the cool breeze was blowing, and the low laughter and noise of pedestrians on the road were all around my ears...

These memories had somehow been downloaded and flown out, and they appeared very clearly in his mind.In fact, for Lin Sheng who lived two lifetimes, this is really a very distant memory, it is as long as several decades.But human memory seems to be a kind of magical existence.Especially when I was a child, it seemed that someone carved the wall in my mind with a carving knife. Even if a thick layer of dust fell on it, as long as I wiped it lightly, it would be clear immediately as if it had just happened.Therefore, many old people in their twilight years may not remember many magnificent events that happened to them when they became adults, but they must remember the stream, the gentle hands, and the soft spring breeze when they were children...

Why are childhood memories so clear?Perhaps, it is because that is the happiest period of time.

As Lin Sheng thought about it, he felt inexplicably sad, and there was also a feeling of loneliness that was blown into his flesh with the cold winter wind...

Lin Sheng sent grandma and sister-in-law home, and rode a bicycle to the pool hall.

Just as night fell, the lights of the billiard hall were reflected from the windows, and the voices of people could be faintly heard inside.

Lin Sheng locked the bicycle, opened the door and went in, and saw that there was only one table of guests in the corner. In this cold weather, everyone probably hid at home and didn't want to come out.

Li Hongxing was holding a super-thick martial arts book and was absorbed in reading it. He raised his eyelids when he heard the door knock, and when he saw it was him, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Didn't you come back tomorrow?"

"I came back after I finished my work ahead of time, and see if it's busy here." Lin Sheng walked into the room, took off his gloves and put them on the radiator at the door, and said, "How, have you been busy these two days since I've been away?" ?”

"There is nothing too busy. There are not many people in the off-season. I used to be busy without you in the busiest time." Li Hongxing said.

"Brother Hong Xing is the best." Lin Sheng was flattering, but the corner of his mouth was smiling badly.He was glared at by Li Hongxing.

For some reason, Lin Sheng wanted to laugh when he saw Li Hongxing, who was as thin as a monkey, showing a proud look.

"By the way, what did you guys do?"

In fact, before Lin Sheng left, he had already missed a word with Li Hongxing, saying that he and Gao Jingxuan were planning to do something, and maybe he could no longer be the head of the billiard hall.But he and Gao Jingxuan didn't tell anyone what to do.After all, sometimes it's important to be first.

Lin Sheng was silent for a while, and felt that he should tell him: "We went to see the computer, and we plan to open an Internet cafe..."

Li Hongxing frowned, listening to Lin Sheng briefly introduce the basic information and development prospects of the computer to him.Then he said: "Brother Hong Xing, you are the only one who knows about this matter except the two of us, so don't tell anyone else."

"Of course." Li Hongxing nodded and said, and then showed a worried expression on his face: "I really don't understand what you are talking about, you two are quite smart, but you still have to be careful, don't let people deceive you , planted inside."

"Don't worry, brother Hongxing." Knowing that he was also concerned, Lin Sheng quickly agreed.

"Xiao Cheng doesn't know either?" Li Hongxing asked suddenly.

Lin Sheng was taken aback, then nodded, "He doesn't know either."

"What happened..." Li Hongxing said with a flickering expression, "Yesterday he came to you and asked me where you were. I thought he was joking with me. You two are inseparable every day. Can you not tell me where you go?" Him? I also... made a few jokes with him..."

Li Hongxing observed Lin Sheng's expression carefully, and said slowly, "He seemed unhappy when he left..."

More than unhappy...

Among them, they are actually pretty good tempered.Li Hongxing was a few years older than them, and he loved to joke around all day long. No matter whether Gao Jingxuan was happy or not, he would never let others see that he was unhappy, a typical pretender.Lin Sheng looked quite cold-tempered, but he had never been angry with his friends, except for Cheng Yijin, of course.

In the end, only Cheng Yijin was left. Although when he was with them, he didn't care about anything and did everything casually, but there was a powerful slenderness emanating from him that people couldn't ignore.When he pursed his lips and did not speak, and his eyes showed a heavy look, Li Hongxing would not involuntarily become careful.I always feel that this kid is born with an aura that is not seen by others, which cannot be ignored, let alone provoked.

Li Hongxing didn't dare to provoke him, and it seemed that Gao Jingxuan didn't dare to provoke him. The only one who dared to provoke him, and always provoked him, was Lin Sheng.

But Cheng Yijin, who was supposed to take the cool, handsome and domineering route, did just that, like Lin Sheng's follower.

But for a while, the two of them didn't seem to quarrel very much, in other words, Lin Sheng didn't pick things up too much.Unexpectedly, if he talked too much, he would make others unhappy, Li Hongxing felt a little uneasy.

"It's okay." Lin Sheng glanced at him lightly, as if he could see through his uneasiness.

"You should make a phone call to explain, or talk about it carefully, don't always quarrel..." Li Hongxing said slowly, in fact, he had already seen the relationship between Lin Sheng and Cheng Yijin.

In the end, Lin Sheng didn't listen to Li Hongxing's call to explain.And Cheng Yijin never called him again since the call he answered when he was in Beijing that afternoon.

Lin Sheng thought of this incident occasionally, and guessed that Cheng Yijin might be angry?

But this idea is just a thought, and then I change my mind and think about other things.

Lin Sheng has been very busy recently, without Cheng Yijin in his life, it seems that there is no difference to him...

The weather is getting colder and colder. There was just a heavy snowfall last night, and the whole city was covered with a pure white thick blanket in the morning.

Lin Sheng told his grandma about opening a store. He thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect his grandma to enter his room before he finished speaking a third of what he had prepared. He took out a red passbook and placed it in front of Lin Sheng.

"This is the little money left by your parents. I thought I would go out to work to earn money, which would be enough for the two of you to go to school. But..." Grandma's wrinkled face was smiling, and there was a smile in her quiet eyes. There is trust and comfort.She went on to say: "I am old, and I am not as capable as you young people. You have also grown up, and you are more sensible than other children. You can handle everything and make your own decisions. Grandma believes in you, and you can do it yourself." I support you, you can use this money to do whatever you want...Even if...you lose money, it's okay, grandma can support you two and send you to school no matter what you do. "

Lin Sheng's heart swelled when Grandma Lin said the last few words, and her eyes were sour.

Grandma is just showing that she will support him no matter what, so that he has no worries.This is a loved one, even if you do something wrong, he will not blame you again, but will only try to help you make up for it.

Lin Sheng was excited, stepped forward and gently hugged the shriveled and kind old man, and promised in a deep voice: "I promise, grandma, I will definitely make good use of this money. In the future, I will definitely let you live a good life, let My younger brother is in college."

Grandma Lin felt that the arms holding her grandson were firm and strong, and knew in her heart that he was already a responsible adult.In addition to comfort and joy in my heart, what else can I have?

When the parents passed away, the passbook contained 5000 yuan, and it is still the same amount now.Over the past year, the expenses of the family, as well as the living expenses of the two brothers, were all earned by him and his grandmother.

Lin Sheng never asked grandma to sell popcorn anymore.It's too cold, and their store will probably open after the Chinese New Year, and he won't let the old man go out to suffer.

Lin Sheng and Gao Jingxuan were looking at a house in a commercial street in the west of the city.

In fact, they have seen the house many times, and this time they mainly came to discuss the price.

The boss is a real estate dealer here, and there are several storefronts of similar size in this bustling commercial street, so he feels rich and powerful. Gao Jingxuan and the others negotiated with him, but he looked impatient and said, "Xiao Brother, if you negotiate the price, it will be free. There are quite a lot of people who come to ask every day, and there are plenty of people who want to rent, but the price can’t be negotiated. Let’s see which one of you is quicker.”

Gao Jingxuan glanced at Lin Sheng, and the two men's eyes collided, and they understood each other's meaning.

They went to so many houses, and this was the one they liked the most.And the boss is telling the truth, this place is really good, there are shopping malls and business units next to it, basically you can make money by opening a shop here.

Just when the two were about to agree, there was a "creak" sound outside the door, and the sound of the wheels slamming against the ground and stopping, followed by the sound of the car turning off and the sound of opening the door.

As soon as Gao Jingxuan heard the voice, he immediately looked at Lin Sheng.

They often listen to the sound of Boss Cheng's car, so of course they can hear it.

Cheng Yijin pushed the door open and came in. Seeing them, his deep eyes stayed on Lin Sheng's face for a few seconds, and then he looked away with a gloomy face.

"Is this... also looking at the house?" The boss looked at Cheng Yijin with burning eyes, and immediately knew that he was richer than the two just now.

"Together." Gao Jingxuan was a little upset because of the boss's suddenly warm voice, but he didn't show it. He smiled and greeted Cheng Yijin who hadn't seen him for a few days: "Hi, Boss Cheng, I'll see you soon!"

Cheng Yijin just glanced at him lightly, which made Gao Jingxuan feel chilly all over.

He belatedly thought... Boss Cheng might have misunderstood what he meant. He didn't think he wanted to show off, or wanted to piss him off...

Gao Jingxuan rubbed his nose, thinking that he was quite innocent, why the two of them quarreled, and the one who got hurt in the end was always himself...

Gao Jingxuan was still complaining about himself, but he didn't expect to hear Cheng Yijin say such a sentence, which made him immediately raise his head with wide eyes in fright.

Cheng Yijin looked at the boss and asked, "How much can you rent this house to me?"

"Ten thousand and eighty-one years," the boss quickly replied.

"..." Gao Jingxuan was a little stunned, and asked tentatively, "Boss Cheng, you don't really want to rent a house, do you?"

Cheng Yijin turned his deep eyes, but looked at Lin Sheng who had been silent all this time, and asked in a very uncomfortable tone: "Why, do I still need to ask you for instructions when I rent a house?"

Lin Sheng's indifferent face was covered with a layer of coldness, just about to speak, but Gao Jingxuan secretly raised it from behind.

"Where is it, just ask." How could Gao Jingxuan fail to hear the anger in Cheng Yijin's words, this guy was obviously still angry that he and Lin Sheng went to Beijing without "asking him for instructions" in advance.

Cheng Yijin has nothing to do to rent a house. Half of the property in this commercial street belongs to his family. He came here to find a sense of existence and to vent his anger.If Lin Sheng bumped into each other now, the two of them would quarrel more and more fiercely, and in the end it would be him who was unlucky.

Cheng Yijin didn't negotiate the price with the boss, but asked the boss's name, and then started making phone calls like no one else was there.

"Well, ask me, how much is the cheapest house?" Cheng Yijin directly went to the subordinate of the Green Gang who was in charge of this area and said.

The boss surnamed Wu was still in a daze and didn't understand what was going on, when Cheng Yijin put down the phone, almost at the same time, the phone that Boss Wu pinned to his waist rang.

Boss Wu put the phone to his ear, his face changed, he smiled politely and flatteringly: "Okay, okay, brother Yang, you have the final say, I don't know this is your friend, okay, okay , it must be cheap... How about [-]?"

"Don't, don't, don't be angry, then tell me a price, and I will try my best to cooperate..."

"Twelve thousand? Okay... okay... Twelve thousand is twelve thousand... Then thank you Brother Yang, I will treat you to a drink some other day. Okay, okay, don't worry."

Lin Sheng and Gao Jingxuan watched Boss Wu sweating down the price to [-] and thanking him, and they understood what was going on like a mirror in their hearts.

"Brother... Mister, Mr. Cheng, right? Seeing that I don't know Taishan, if I know that you are a friend of Brother Yang... Do you think it's okay? When is it convenient for you to sign the contract?" Boss Wu seems to have forgotten There were two other people beside him, and they were dedicated to showing courtesy around Cheng Yijin.

Cheng Yijin's face was still stinky, he glanced at the boss, and said without emotion: "Keep it for me, wait until I think it over."

"..." Boss Wu didn't even think he was stupid.Watching Cheng Yijin appear suddenly, he left without saying anything.

Gao Jingxuan instantly understood what was going on.Boss Cheng is clearly waiting for them to sue for peace...

"Hey, Boss Cheng, wait for us, long time no see, I must treat you to dinner!" Gao Jingxuan dragged Lin Sheng out.

I don't know if he was waiting for them on purpose or what, when Gao Jingxuan pulled Lin Sheng out, the black jeep was still parked at the door as if waiting for them.

Cheng Yijin didn't answer.

Gao Jingxuan opened the co-pilot door for Lin Sheng and pushed him in, and quickly sat in the back himself.

Cheng Yijin pursed his lips tightly as if he didn't see the two of them getting into the car, and focused his eyes on the front, driving the car into the driveway with a blank expression.

Lin Sheng was sitting in the co-pilot, frowning slightly, thinking what the hell is going on?Don't tell him, this is the rhythm of waiting for himself to apologize?
