God said I would meet you

Zhang's father deliberately killed a chicken just like the last time he entertained Lin Jinyu, and Zhang Xinli specifically asked his father not to put chili.

In the afternoon, Lin Jinyu was limping and insisted on taking her mother out for a walk, but Zhang Xinli was helping with errands at home, so she didn't follow her.

Along the way, Lin Jinyu chattered non-stop about the new things that happened to him here in the past month and the piles of feelings that arose from them, without stopping.

He couldn't hide the excitement on his face, he kept talking about this and that, and at the end, he said with a smile: "Mom, did you bring me any present this time?"

Lin's mother took her son's hand and said, "Get ready, get ready, you'll get bored as soon as you mention a gift, look at this greedy eye."

Lin Jinyu still smiled, and Mother Lin said: "I know what you want, I put it in the back seat, and I will show it to you tomorrow."

"Wow, thank you mom." Lin Jinyu smiled playfully.

Mother Lin said: "By the way, have you been getting along well with your brother for more than a month? Did you not bully him? I also brought him a gift. When you find a chance to give it to him later, just say you thank him."

Lin Jinyu recalled Zhang Xinli's scars and his familiarity in fighting, and muttered, "How can I bully him..." He said, "What, Mom, I already gave him something."

Mother Lin was surprised again: "Hey, you will give someone a special gift to thank you, the sun is coming out from the west again."

"Why am I so careless?" Lin Jinyu said, "I didn't even give you a present on Mother's Day."

"What's the matter?" Mother Lin said, "I've never seen you give anything to a classmate or friend."

Lin Jinyu thought: Hey, don't you have to thank the alcohol for making me impulsive.

Mother Lin asked him, "What did you send?"

"It's nothing, just a watch."

"That's fine," Mother Lin said as she walked, "But I'm sure I've prepared it, so you can show it to him, you won't be able to wear that one anyway."

"?" Lin Jinyu asked, "What exactly did you buy?"

"You will know when I give it to you tomorrow."

"Hey, it's still closed."

The mother and son walked around while chatting. Lin Jinyu was already familiar with the area, so she wasn't afraid of getting lost.

Mother Lin knew in her heart that the conditions in this area were not good, and now that she saw it with her own eyes, she really realized what the situation was, and she felt even more strange.Her son usually does not work hard, has eaten pork but has never seen pigs running, and is dead without games and computers. It is really strange to be able to stay here.

Over there, Lin Jinyu was still happily pulling his mother to tell her the embarrassing story of falling into the mud, when Lin's mother's phone rang suddenly.

Lin Jinyu stopped, watched her mother take out her mobile phone from her bag, connected it, and said, "Hi, hello... yes, I am me, you are... okay, yes, it's convenient..."

Mother Lin glanced at the lady's watch on her wrist while listening to the phone: "Well...can you be a little...well, yes, okay...ok."

Lin Jinyu is very familiar with her movements. When she was at home, whenever she came to work or had a temporary appointment or social gathering, Mother Lin always looked at her watch while making a phone call. When receiving affairs, she immediately calculated the time and arranged the itinerary. Don't waste a second.

Sure enough, about 10 minutes later, Mother Lin hung up the phone, walked back and turned to Lin Jinyu, and said to him, "Xiaoyu, Mom is suddenly busy."

Lin Jinyu looked at her and said, "Oh."

Mother Lin said: "Mom doesn't want to, but this time the matter is more important, and the arrangement over there is relatively tight, and there is no way to move the time, so..."

Lin Jinyu interrupted her, and said without expression: "Okay, I know."

This kind of situation has happened many times in the past, and he really understands the importance of the matter and clearly knows the next development.

"Go ahead," he said, "that's fine."

Mother Lin didn't know what to say other than some usual words, she just repeatedly apologized to her son, and explained that it was really a last resort: "Mom will try to accompany you as much as possible, and go back later in the evening, okay? Mom promises to pick you up as soon as possible."

"No need," Lin Jinyu said, "It's not safe to drive at night."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, without waiting for Mother Lin, he walked ahead alone pretending that he didn't care.

Mother Lin looked at his back for a few seconds, stepped forward to catch up with her son, and said, "Xiaoyu, mother didn't do it on purpose, it's just..."

"I told you, I know!" Lin Jinyu couldn't control it, and her tone suddenly became serious...Mother Lin fell silent for a moment, and the two of them were silent for two or three seconds. Lin Jinyu slowed down and said, "...I know, So it goes without saying."

In this way, it was hard for Mother Lin to say anything more. After the phone call, Lin Jinyu stopped chattering, and there was no previous happy atmosphere between the two of them. The small yard of the house.

Zhang Xinli was moving things in the yard, and when he looked up and saw Lin Jinyu, he knew that he was unhappy.

Seeing Lin Jinyu limping and not slowing down at all, limping up and down and walking straight into the house, Zhang Xinli didn't respond to calling him.

Even if you ignore him, you can't drag him back to ask questions, not to mention that Lin's mother is still here.

Holding something in his hands, Zhang Xinli nodded to Mama Lin who came in later, as a greeting.Mother Lin's brows were half sad and half helpless. Seeing Zhang Xinli nodding to him, she adjusted her expression, suppressed the slight worry on her face, and smiled at Zhang Xinli.

Zhang Xinli watched her walk in front of him on high heels, entered the room and knocked on Lin Jinyu's door, thump, thud, thump, thump, thump, thud, heavy and chaotic.

But no matter how she knocked, the door never opened, and the room was quiet, as if no one was there.

Mother Lin stood helplessly in front of the door. Zhang Xinli saw Lin Jinyu sitting on the bed with his back to him through the half-closed curtain window in the yard, staring at the empty wall in a daze, leaving only him A thin back.

After that, Lin Jinyu didn't come out for the whole afternoon.

It is still difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, and it is really inconvenient for outsiders to intervene in the conflict between mother and child.Mama Lin ate some dinner casually, and the time came. In order to abide by the meeting agreement, she had to drive back to Chengdu immediately.

Zhang Wentao and his family sent her to the gate of the yard. Mother Lin said apologetically, "I'm really sorry..."

"Oh, nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about," Zhang's father smoothed things over, "Little baby, you can lose your temper."

"I'm sorry for your troubles," Mother Lin said, "He didn't eat dinner, and later..."

"I know, I know," Zhang's father said hurriedly, "I keep the food hot all the time, and puberty is so... Rebellious, we adults don't listen to what adults say, young people are easy to communicate, I will let my baby go to him later Just say it."

Mother Lin thanked her politely, took a last look at the window that was tightly covered by curtains, opened the door and drove away.

The sound of the engine moved from near to far, and the car followed the winding dirt road like it did when it came, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a faint trace of exhaust gas.

The three members of Zhang Wentao's family stood in place, watching Mama Lin go away until they could no longer see anything.

Then, Zhang Wentao winked at Zhang Xinli, pointed to the closed door of the room, and said, "Your mother and I are going to visit your uncle's house later, you should talk to your brother about it, at least let him take the meal away." have eaten."

"Understood." Zhang Xinli said.

Not long after, Dad Zhang finished feeding the dog and took Mom Zhang out.The sound of their footsteps gradually faded away, and with the sound of the old-fashioned wooden door at the gate of the yard closing with a "squeak", the whole house fell silent.

Zhang Xinli glanced at the closed door, went to the kitchen, took an empty bowl, put the rice in it, ordered some food, and knocked on Lin Jinyu's door: "Open the door," he said, "Come out to eat."

Lin Jinyu didn't respond.

Zhang Xinli knocked again: "Open the door."

Lin Jinyu still remained silent, Zhang Xinli said, "Are you really not going to open the door?"

He waited for about three seconds, and seeing that there was still no movement in the house, he turned around and went out to the yard with the rice in his hand, put the bowl of rice with chopsticks on the window sill, opened the unlatched window, and propped the window sill for a while Turned in.

Lin Jinyu was sitting on the bed with her back to him, when she heard the voice, she turned her head suddenly: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Xinli rolled down from the window sill and said, "I told you to go out for dinner."

Lin Jinyu said, "I don't want to eat."

Zhang Xinli said: "Your mother has already left, you have to eat if you don't want to."

"I know I'm leaving," Lin Jinyu turned back, crossed her legs, and picked the hairs on the quilt: "I don't have an appetite, I don't want to eat."

Zhang Xinli turned around and brought in the food from the window sill outside, put it on the desk, walked up to Lin Jinyu, and patted him on the back: "Turn around."

"No," Lin Jinyu said, "Don't mess with me, you can play by yourself."

"Hurry up," Zhang Xinli insisted, pulling his shoulders: "Turn around."

Lin Jinyu twisted tightly, Zhang Xinli said, "If you don't turn around, I'll make it harder." He grabbed his shoulder and forced Lin Jinyu to turn around.

Lin Jinyu was not as strong as him, so she had to be turned halfway involuntarily, but she still didn't look at him, only looked down at her fingernails.

"What are you doing..." Zhang Xinli sat down beside him and said, "Your mother is really busy."

"I know," Lin Jinyu lowered her head and said, "I don't blame her."

"Then why don't you eat?"

"I just... don't want to eat," Lin Jinyu said, "I have no appetite."

Zhang Xinli said: "You are still fighting, and you are angry with your mother."

"No!" Lin Jinyu fiercely said, "I'm not happy, can't I be sad? If I don't want to eat, I just don't want to eat. Why do I have to pretend that nothing happened, sit at the table to eat and watch my mother say goodbye to me?"

Zhang Xinli looked at his furrowed eyebrows and puffy cheeks, then looked away after a while, took out a pack of cigarettes from an unknown corner of the desk drawer, and asked him, "Smoking?"
