Chapter 26 Entertaining

When they arrived at the bus station in the county seat, He Lin took Su Qi to a newsstand outside the station. There was a public phone over there. While asking the middle-aged aunt at the newsstand about the phone bill, he asked, "What's your number?"

Su Qi thought for a while, then grabbed the receiver: "I'll just dial it myself!" As he spoke, he quickly dialed a number, and after a few rings, the call was connected. The call was very loud, and He Lin listened quickly. An old and anxious voice came from the opposite side: "Hello, is this Xiaoqi?"

"Grandpa, it's me!" Su Qi said quickly.

The person on the opposite side almost shouted: "It's really you, Xiaoqi, where did you go, come back quickly!"

Su Qi scratched his face, and looked at He Lin in a daze: "Where is it from here?"

He Lin smiled wryly, this guy would get in any car he could find, but he didn't even know where the car was going, so he could only say, "This is County Y!"

Su Qi hurriedly said to the phone: "Grandpa, I'm in County Y. Today, I encountered someone sneaking behind me. It must be a human trafficker. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to run away from those people, so I randomly changed two people." The second bus ran away, and now I am in County Y. I just met a friend who was kind and helped me pay the fare. I plan to spend the night at their house today. Grandpa, come pick me up tomorrow! By the way, He Lin, where is your home address?"

He Lin gave the address with some helplessness, and Su Qi talked to the old man on the phone for a while, then hung up the phone, and then said heartlessly: "Okay, He Lin, let's go to your house Bar!"

He Lin paid the phone bill and had nothing to do with Su Qi, and then said: "Success, you don't think my house is small, let's go to the station first!"

Su Qi probably had never run so far alone before, so he was very excited, but when he got off the car in the town, the aftereffects of the car came, and he was a little dizzy. He Lin had no choice but to go to the town. I borrowed a bicycle from a classmate I knew online, and then drove Su Qi back to Hejiawan.

Lin Cheng, Hu Feng and his family went to visit relatives at Hu Feng's mother's house early in the morning. Hu Feng's mother had her [-]th birthday. In the countryside, the [-]th birthday is still very important. Relatives at home were invited, a few tables of noodles were arranged, and it was lively. Lin Cheng and the others estimated that they would not come back until after dinner.

Therefore, He Lin led Su Qi directly to his home, opened the gate of the yard, and the first thing he saw were the three houses that had collapsed, and there were some weeds and vines growing on them, because it was relatively cold over there. Dangerous, He Lin naturally won't run over there to weed or something, so he has to leave it there, the free-range chickens and ducks at home don't worry about it, they are jumping over there, pecking at the weeds bugs.

Su Qi's eyes widened: "He Lin, your house, is your house like this?"

He Lin spread his hands: "That's it, the three rooms at the back can no longer live, now I live alone in the kitchen, there is only one bed over there, if you want to stay, you have to be wronged to stay with me Living!"

Su Qi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He Lin's house collapsed like this and he didn't repair it. It can be seen that he has no money, and he asked him to pay for the car and phone bills. Please grandpa leave some money for He Lin's family, but he quickly discovered the abnormality in He Lin's words: "You are alone, where are your parents?"

With a calm expression on He Lin's face, he said, "They're all dead, I'm the only one at home! Let's not talk, you go sit in the room for a while, I'll pour you a glass of water, and then I'm going to make dinner! "

Su Qi felt even more uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say, so he followed He Lin into the room. The room was very dark, so He Lin turned on the fluorescent lamp and told Su Qi to sit down at the table , then poured a glass of water from the thermos and handed it to Su Qi, poured a glass himself, drank most of it in one gulp, and then went out to work.

Su Qi looked at the furnishings in the kitchen with some curiosity. The most conspicuous thing was the clay stove at the base of the wall. The stove was covered with some white ceramic tiles. Several of them were cracked, but they were wiped clean. I bought a few bottles and jars, and there were two bottles that looked like canned food. They should be filled with seasonings. The thermos was also placed on the side of the stove, with a water tank next to it.Looking at the other side of the kitchen, in addition to the two large tanks that occupy a large area, there are several jars.The big vat was covered with a huge wooden board, and there were many things on the wooden board, mainly books, and a box with peeling paint, and I don't know what was stuffed inside.

An ordinary canopy bed with a white mosquito net hanging on it, the quilt on the bed was not folded, and several books were scattered beside the pillow. Su Qi glanced over and was startled. A few junior high school textbooks, he suddenly felt a little puzzled, He Lin looked younger than himself, could it be that he has already entered junior high school?It shouldn't be!

When Su Qi was wondering, He Lin had already picked up eggs and duck eggs, and got some greens and shallots from the vegetable field at the door. Right now, there were almost no vegetables in the field. The green vegetables that have been down for a while have only grown the length of a finger. He Lin pulled out a handful and came back. He didn't think about how to entertain Su Qi. He just fried a few poached eggs and then made a pimple soup, which is convenient. It's easy and it's not hard to eat.

Su Qi felt that the friend he just met was really a poor man, but he didn't feel it in He Lin at all.When he was in the capital before, some of his classmates were relatively poor, and they looked very shabby, and they were either timid in class, or had strong self-esteem that made people disgusted. A little carelessness was like stepping on a thunderstorm. The same, causing a strong backlash, therefore, Su Qi is not willing to deal with those people at all.

But seeing He Lin now, He Lin didn't feel that shabby feeling at all. When we met for the first time, I helped him pay the taxi and phone bills, and didn't talk to him. Besides, seeing so many books in the room, it is estimated that He Lin is in the house. The school is also doing well.He Lin completely ignored what Su Qi was thinking, and asked Su Qi to help watch the fire as a matter of course. He quickly set up the pot, fried a few eggs, and then began to adjust the noodles while the water was boiling. After that, take the spoon and sprinkle the prepared noodles into the pot one by one, and they will naturally become large and small, irregularly shaped gnocchi, and then sprinkle with a handful of washed green vegetables, Not long after, a pot of noodle soup was ready, and He Lin added a few drops of sesame oil to it, and the fragrance wafted out.

Su Qi didn't mind the simpleness of the dinner, but it was delicious. After eating two large bowls by himself, he touched his stomach contentedly. After eating, he rushed to help He Lin clean up the dishes, but He Lin He's rated a little higher.
