God said I would meet you

Zhang Xinli entered the door, saw the guests, and briefly greeted Lin's father and mother.

Zhang Wentao saw that he was covered in hot sweat from harvesting rice, and asked him to wash it and put on some clothes. The mountain was cooler than the field, so he was not afraid of catching a cold.

Zhang Xinli nodded, and walked to press water at the well erected in the yard.

Zhang Wentao turned his head and introduced to Lin Jinyu: "This is my brother, who is a little older than you. I will ask him to take you to play after dinner. If he bullies you, tell me, and my uncle will support you."

Lin Jinyu secretly looked at the back of Zhang Xinli Yashui. This person was different from all the classmates and friends he knew of the same age.

The students in the school, whether they are seniors or juniors, are chic. During class, they draw pictures, write small notes, and read novels behind the teacher. After class, they chase after class and run wildly in the hallway. Or by the window of Starbucks, while listening to music with a Bluetooth headset, while blowing on the air conditioner and eating a burger.

But the boy was so silent.He carried the bucket and fetched water skillfully and swiftly, like a silent stone. When he pulled up his hem to wipe his sweat, he could faintly see his abdominal muscles that had begun to take shape. He didn't look back when he heard Father Zhang introduce him to Lin Jinyu.

Over there, Father Lin exchanged a few more pleasantries, and once again told Lin Jinyu to get along well with others and not to show his temper at all times. He would come to pick him up in two months, and then went to carry the luggage with Father Zhang.

Lin Jinyu brought two big suitcases, including his tablet, novels, basketball, etc., and the two fathers carried them in one by one.Lin Jinyu didn't follow out, but stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked up and down at his new playmate.

Zhang Xinli took off his shirt and quickly washed his face with water. After washing all the sweat off his body with his hands, he put the sweaty T-shirt on his shoulders and poured water in a splash.

His half-length hair was wet in locks, and there was a youthful heroism in his eyebrows and eyes, but his expression was mature like an adult.

With clothes draped over his shoulders, Zhang Xinli looked up at Lin Jinyu who was standing at the door for a few seconds, and opened his mouth to say something.

The music on the bluetooth headset was loud and the distance was relatively far away. Lin Jinyu didn't hear what he was saying, so he replied, "What did you say?" At the same time, he turned down the volume by two bars with his hand in his pocket.

Zhang Xinli said it again, but Lin Jinyu only heard a few vague syllables, but still couldn't hear the content clearly, so she lowered the volume a few notches and said, "Say it again."

Zhang Xinli didn't say anything more.He raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked towards him.Lin Jinyu couldn't tell what information that expression seemed to contain, but it wouldn't be too friendly anyway.

The chicken was pecking at the rice grains in the soil, and the black dog was barking in the nest. Zhang Xinli walked up to Lin Jinyu. He was facing the light, and the air in the mountains was damp and hazy. He seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden-white shimmer.

Lin Jinyu looked at him puzzled, Zhang Xinli stretched out a hand to take off his bluetooth headset, leaned slightly and lowered his head, and whispered in his ear: "I said...you should help your father move things, not Stand here and watch the excitement—Master Xiao Yuer."

This title and the irony that came with it angered Lin Jinyu in an instant. He gave Zhang Xinli a hard look and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but don't call me Xiao Yu'er. I'm not the young master either."

Zhang Xinli showed the eyebrow-raising expression from before. He didn't know whether he was laughing at his anger or something else. Without saying a word, he walked over to help Zhang Wentao carry the suitcase.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Huainan and his wife were sent away. Zhang Xinli and his father continued to work in the field. Zhang's mother washed two apples for Lin Jinyu and asked him to sit and play in the house while she boiled water and killed chickens in the kitchen.

The signal in the mountains was not particularly good. Lin Jinyu was lying on the sofa listening to music while playing Plants vs. Zombies. At least he survived the first two hours when he came to Liangshan.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xinli and his son came back.

Zhang's father went to the kitchen to watch the dishes, while Zhang Xinli moved the chairs and arranged the place for dinner.

The two had an unfriendly meeting in the morning. When he came in, he only glanced at Lin Jinyu without saying hello.

Lin Jinyu ignored him, and fought her own Plants vs. Zombies. Watching the pea shooter and butter corns cooperate on the screen to headshot the zombies one by one, she felt inexplicably relieved.

A few minutes later, Zhang's father brought braised chicken nuggets, fried cabbage with dried chili, and egg drop soup to the table. Seeing Lin Jinyu wearing earphones and looking at his mobile phone, he said to Zhang Xinli, "Go ask my brother to come over for dinner."

Zhang Xinli nodded, walked over, and informed him in a business-like manner, "It's time to eat."

Lin Jinyu rolled his eyes at him, got up from the sofa, took off the earphones, walked to the dining table and sat down, and said, "Thank you Uncle, thank you Auntie."

Father Zhang also sat down and said with a smile, "You're welcome, you can eat whatever you want."

Over there, Mother Zhang brought three salted duck eggs to the table, and said, "Yes, you're welcome, treat it as your own home."

Zhang Xinli finally sat down at the table, didn't say much, just filled the empty bowl with food, and handed it to several people on the table one by one.

Lin Jinyu ate in silence. He was not used to the chicken cooked by the wood fire because it was too hard. When his mother made yellow stewed chicken for him at home, he would always use a pressure cooker to crush the chicken. The shiitake mushrooms with beautiful little crosses are fragrant and delicious.

Seeing that Lin Jinyu had been eating with a sullen head, Zhang's mother was afraid that he would be restrained and dare not add food, so she said, "Jinyu, don't be embarrassed." She put a chicken leg in Lin Jinyu's bowl.

The chicken leg hadn't been cut with a knife, the femur and fibula were connected together, and a large lump lay horizontally in the bowl.Lin Jinyu said thank you, picked it up with chopsticks and tried to find a place to say it, but she really hated it in her heart.

The chicken that has never been in a pressure cooker is very difficult to bite, and the chopsticks can't move it. Lin Jinyu's chopsticks are not easy to bite, and the left and right are clumsy, as if he is fighting some kind of chicken leg monster.He really wanted to grab it with his hands, but felt that it would be too impolite.

Over there, Zhang's mother put another chicken leg into Zhang Xinli's bowl, and Zhang Xinli put it back: "I won't eat it, you eat it." He said briefly.

Lin Jinyu used all his strength to eat the meal. Out of politeness, he roughly finished the unpalatable chicken leg with great difficulty, hurriedly finished the meal in the bowl, and ended the dinner in a hurry.

After eating, Zhang's mother cleaned the table, fed the dogs and pigs, and Zhang's father asked Zhang Xinli to take Lin Jinyu to clean up: "You can live with Xinli, and just ask brother if you need anything."

Lin Jinyu suddenly felt thunderbolt, what?Want to live together?Can't we have a room alone?Isn't that too private?What should I do if I can't get along?

He vaguely felt that Zhang Xinli didn't like him very much, although he didn't know why, but it didn't matter, because he didn't like Zhang Xinli anyway.

Sleeping in a room with someone who neither likes you nor you likes you is too much torture.

Zhang Xinli didn't say anything, but only signaled Lin Jinyu to follow him, and pushed Lin Jinyu's two boxes into the room opposite the main house where Zhang Wentao and his wife were sleeping.

"When the house was built, only two rooms were built." Zhang Xinli pushed the box to the corner, and after Lin Jinyu entered, he closed the door and said to him, "Most houses here in Liangshan are like this, and some of them can't even build a single room." .”

Lin Jinyu didn't know what to say, so she replied stiffly: "Oh."

Zhang Xinli saw that his mouth was pursed, thinking that he looked down on the conditions here, and felt a little disdainful: "Do you know how to pack your luggage?" He asked expressionlessly.

"I know, please don't take me for an idiot." Lin Jinyu said.

Zhang Xinli was so eager for this, he didn't look at him again after getting the answer, turned around and went out.
