God said I would meet you

The Spring Festival is just around the corner.

This morning is as cold as ever, but the streets and alleys still have the taste of the New Year.For the past two days, Lin Jinyu walked around seeing Lin Huainan, for no other reason than embarrassment.

Although they are father and son, his father has always been serious. Lin Jinyu avoids him when he watches a small movie that almost all middle school boys have seen. Who would have thought that this situation would be caught by his father.

"Xiaoyu," Lin Huainan called him, "Hurry up and change your clothes and shoes before going out, don't make grandpa wait too long."

"Ah? Oh." Lin Jinyu came back to his senses from his memories... For the past few days, he has been thinking about that day, and even dreamed that he was running naked and gliding on the grass.

His father never mentioned that incident at all, pretending it never happened, both father and son pretended to be stupid and whitewashed the peace.

Lin Jinyu dawdled to put on her shoes, but when she got there, she found that she couldn't find one or the other, and it was easy to find.

Zhang Xinli was still wearing the sweater and coat that he had when he came that day. Mrs. Zhou didn’t come to the house these days, and Mama Lin told him to leave it alone, and she would just wash it in the washing machine on weekends, but Zhang Xinli still insisted on doing it by himself.

No matter how late it is, every time he takes a shower, he will wash his dirty clothes, and he will never leave it until the next day. Every time Lin Jinyu and Lin Jinyu take a shower, they will leave, and sometimes they forget to take the dirty clothes The styles that come out are in stark contrast.

Lin Jinyu finally packed all the messy earphone charging cables, looked at Zhang Xinli, and said casually, "You should wear more, it's freezing outside."

Zhang Xinli said: "The luggage mainly contains books and notes. I didn't bring too many clothes. Let's make do with it. I'm not cold."

Lin's father and Lin's mother smiled at the same time. Lin Jinyu was a little self-centered in their hearts, and they liked to do things according to their own preferences. They were worried that their son and Zhang Xinli would not get along well. The relationship between people is not bad, so they don't need to worry about it.

Mother Lin said: "I need to buy new clothes for the New Year, and I will take you and Xiaoyu to go shopping together in a few days."

"No need, auntie," Zhang Xinli said, "It's not agreed that my family will bear the living expenses for these three years."

"Don't be so polite," Mama Lin said, "You are a junior, so just treat it as a New Year's gift."

Zhang Xinli still said, "It's really unnecessary."

"Oh, don't you just go shopping during the Chinese New Year? You still push and push and invite, let's talk about it when the time comes," Lin Jinyu opened the door and said, "I kept urging me to my death, and then I dawdled here to chat Wake up, really."

"How do you talk to your mother?" Lin Huainan slapped his butt: "It's not big or small."

Lin Jinyu stuck out her tongue, and went out first to press the elevator.

……

All the people on duty in the sentry box at the gate of the compound put on thick cotton clothes. As soon as the car stopped, Lin Jinyu opened the door and got out of the car, and saw Uncle Zhao walking towards them from the opening on the first floor, taking the fruits and vegetables from Lin Huainan's hand, Said: "Boss Lin is here, the old man has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Huainan said, "What about the elder sister and the second brother?"

Uncle Zhao, smoking a cigarette, said, "One of them has not finished their work this year, and they are away from home...you know it's kept secret, and the other one went to her mother's house for the New Year, and they won't come back."

"So," Lin Huainan quickened his pace, "Then let's go quickly."

Zhang Xinli followed behind their family and also went up.

After entering the door, Lin Jinyu shouted, "Grandpa!"

"Hey," Grandpa Lin greeted his grandson, son, and daughter-in-law, and finally saw Zhang Xinli and said, "Here we are, and the journey went smoothly."

Zhang Xinli, also called Grandpa, said, "Successful."

"You are much taller and stronger than when you were a child..." Grandpa Lin said, "You are taller than Xiaoyu."

Lin Jinyu interjected, "I'm one year younger than him, it doesn't matter who is taller."

"Hahaha," Grandpa Lin was amused by him, and moved his body a little slowly towards the dining table: "Then grandpa will wait and see. Let's eat first, Zhao Hu, bring the stool over, the child is smoking less."

Without further ado, Zhao Hu choked out his cigarette, rolled up his sleeves to move a stool, and served dishes and bowls of wine.

Lin Jinyu knew that his grandfather loved to drink, and he couldn't quit even when he was old.Uncle Zhao helped him, Lin Huainan, and Mama Lin get together, and Grandpa Lin asked Zhang Xinli, "Can I drink?"

Zhang Xinli said, "No, I'll drink juice with Jinyu."

Lin Jinyu turned her head to look at him, and said in her heart: Pretend, just pretend for me.

Grandpa Lin said: "Okay...student, students should not drink alcohol." He didn't force him, and poured him orange juice.

Lin Huainan and Mama Lin accompanied the old man to drink.Although the doctor told him to drink less, it was only once a year that the whole family was reunited, and no one spoiled the old man's interest, so it didn't hurt to drink a little more.

While the adults were drinking and chatting, both Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli could only eat their own meals in peace.Grandpa is getting old, in addition to repeatedly telling the parents about short-term things, he just asks if his son is doing well at work, whether his work is going well recently, whether his daughter-in-law's work is going well, how is his grandson studying... and so on.

Lin Jinyu listened to these words every year, and knew that grandpa would ask them again next year.

After he finished asking, Grandpa Lin turned to Zhang Xinli and said, "Boy, how have you been all these years?"

Lin Jinyu said in her heart: I will definitely answer the three big characters 'very good' again.

Zhang Xinli said, "Very good."

What am I talking about?I knew it.

Grandpa Lin said, "Is your father okay?"

"It's okay," Zhang Xinli paused, and said, "The legs and feet are also very good, and there is no root cause of the disease."

"That's good." Grandpa narrowed his eyes, his snow-white eyebrows trembled slightly: "When I grow up, I'm much quieter than before."

"The past was the past," Zhang Xinli said, "Thank you for sending me to study."

Grandpa waved his hand: "No need, I, comrade Zhang Yichuan, who is bleeding in the same shell crater, can't thank you, besides, you didn't get this opportunity for nothing... Even if you were given the opportunity, it depends on how you end up. yourself."

Lin Jinyu listened to them while grilling rice, but felt that he couldn't fully understand eight out of ten sentences, and didn't know what they were talking about.

Zhang Xinli said, "I should toast you."

Grandpa Lin asked Zhao Hu to pour him a glass of wine: "Drink this, Shanghai Xiaomaotai, Zhang Yichuan also likes to drink... Your grandfather owes me a glass of wine, so you can drink it for him."

Zhang Xinli stood up holding the cup, lowered the rim of the cup, and turned towards Grandpa Lin.

While pushing and changing cups, Lin Jinyu heard his grandfather holding up the cup and asking Zhang Xinli, "Do you remember what I asked you to promise?"

Zhang Xinli replied, "I remember."

"I promised it when I was young, and I still remember it now?"

"Remember, if you promise, you will never forget."

Grandpa Lin looked at him, holding his own wine glass, and touched him lightly: "I promised not to forget when I was a child, and I will not forget when I grow up."

Amidst the crisp glass jingle, Zhang Xinli said: "Never forget," he said: "Never forget."
