life after death

As soon as Chen Yilin came home, he saw grandma busy in the kitchen. He guessed that he was coming home late, so he grabbed the spatula and squeezed grandma out of the kitchen by taking advantage of his height.

Chen Yilin rubbed his hands and said, "Let me come, you are just recovering from your illness, take a rest."

Grandma was pinned on the sofa by him, stuffed with an orange, a little at a loss, and after a while, she said, "Is the matter settled?"

Chen Yilin hummed: "Forget it, I can collect it in half a month." He took off his coat and put on an apron, "The family I bumped into as soon as the year is over wants to pay compensation, it should be better sooner."

Grandma squinted her presbyopic eyes and took out a knitting sweater. After watching TV, she suddenly said, "Xiaojun came to see you again today."

Chen Yilin paused with his hands tied on the belt, and heard his grandmother nagging, "Xiao Jun has come to see you several times, and I will go to see you when I have time."

Chen Yilin said I got it, and got into the kitchen.

According to what he knew about Su Junping, going to him now would probably lose his temper, and Chen Yilin planned to come to the door with a gift when he was free in a few days.

In the evening, he cooked a few dishes, stewed a pot of braised pork and a big pot of pork rib soup. The two of them couldn't eat much. Chen Yilin washed the dishes and watched the Spring Festival Gala with his grandma for a while, and then fell asleep.

It's rare to be late on the first day of the new year. After lunch at noon, the shops are opened up. There are few shops on the first day of the new year, and there are fewer shops to eat, and people are wandering around in a panic. At this time The business of opening a store is not too good.

However, at four o'clock, all the cakes made by Chen Yilin were sold out, so he closed the shop and went home to rest, and it was like this for several days in a row.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the movie theater asked him to come back to work. After the Chinese New Year, besides the New Year greetings, he also watched New Year’s films. The movie theater business was good, and several venues were full. Not long after sitting down, Su Junping came.

Su Junping came to watch the movie.

People who celebrate the New Year are all family members, so it would be too desolate for him to watch a movie alone.

Su Junping bought a ticket, and the display showed that there were still 10 minutes left. He sat next to Chen Yilin, and found that Chen Yilin's fingers were cold, so he took them and wrapped them in his hands.

Chen Yilin was startled and wanted to pull it away, but Su Junping increased his strength, making his hand hurt, and Chen Yilin gave up struggling.

Su Junping stroked the back of his hand and asked, "Are you free for the next hour and a half?"

He was on the late shift, and he would be off work in half an hour. Chen Yilin nodded his head in confusion, and saw Su Junping smiled. The corners of his mouth tugged slightly but his eyes did not move. Chen Yilin felt that Su Junping was in a bad mood. Let him play with his fingers.

Su Junping said: "Then you can watch a movie with me later."

After speaking, he threw the bill on the table, it was a couple seat.

Chen Yilin originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing the word "couple" on the ticket, he changed his mind and said yes.

Only then did Su Junping really smile, showing his white teeth.

It was a New Year's Eve movie that mainly featured comedies. The jokes were too old and not very funny, but the children thought it was quite fresh, and they couldn't stop giggling in the theater, and the movie became more enjoyable.

Su Junping and Chen Yilin sat in the last row.Su Junping sat upright in his seat, kept silent, didn't smile much, Chen Yilin was not thinking about the movie, glanced at Su Junping from time to time, felt uneasy when he found that he was not smiling, hesitated for a while and pulled his sleeve.

Su Junping turned his head to look at him, and saw Chen Yilin lowered his eyes and said softly: "Xiao Jun, I was busy with the demolition a few days ago. I heard from grandma that you came three times, and you missed it. I'm sorry."

Su Junping looked at him for a long time and sneered in his heart.busy?he is busy?Is he busy talking and laughing and chatting with girls to be courteous?

He didn't make a sound, Chen Yilin didn't dare to breathe, and the hand holding his sleeve loosened a little bit, and was grabbed by Su Junping the moment he left completely.

Su Junping said: "What are you busy with? I haven't seen you for more than a week. I miss you so much." After speaking, he leaned his head over and rubbed Chen Yilin's neck. Yi said: "As I just said, the demolition matter, the price can't be negotiated up front, and after finally negotiating, I have to go to the office to go through the formalities. The efficiency there is really—" He burst out laughing, and immediately covered his mouth, Finding that no one in the front row was paying attention to him, he pinched Su Junping's waist, "Stop making trouble, and spank your ass if you make trouble again."

Su Junping was completely shameless after hearing this. Chen Yilin was wearing a sweater with a half turtleneck. He knew he was ticklish, so he pulled down the collar and rubbed his head vigorously, and even breathed hard on his skin. The goosebumps on Chen Yilin's skin never stopped, and he almost rolled off his face.

Chen Yilin scolded him in a low voice: "You're never finished!"

"It's not over, it's not over, or you'll hit me!"

Chen Yilin was reluctant to really hit him, the few hits were not painful, Su Junping was sure that Chen Yilin's heart was soft and he kept tossing, as if he would not stop until he was knocked to the ground, but a little sister in the front row turned around to save him.

The little sister didn't speak either, she just blinked at the two brothers with her big bright black eyes.

Su Junping found his face in the corners of his innocent eyes, shook his ashes and reluctantly put it on, smoothed his wrinkled collar and said to Chen Yilin solemnly: "What's the trouble, just watch the movie."

Chen Yilin: "..."

Chen Yilin only pinched his face as punishment.

After watching the movie for a while, Su Junping still had doubts in his heart and didn't have the heart to watch those funny clips.After he smashed the two pots of succulents, he calmed down, regretted in his heart, and felt that he was too hasty. A voice in his head accused Chen Yilin of being alienated at the beginning, and now it is impossible to stay away from him; Really, there's nothing wrong with being busy.

These two noises made his brain ache. He bought two succulents again, but he still didn't come to a conclusion.

Su Junping struggled for a while in the movie theater, and finally decided to test out: "Where were you at four or five o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Eve, I saw the back of a person, who looked a lot like you..."

When he turned around, Chen Yilin had already fallen asleep leaning on the back of the chair.

He was on duty from midnight to morning, and he was already very sleepy. Seeing that Su Junping was not angry, he relaxed and fell asleep within 5 minutes.

Su Junping shook him lightly, but he didn't wake up.

In the second half of the movie, Su Junping couldn't laugh.

In the next few days, Su Junping was also thinking about this matter, and he was listless at work.

But Chen Yilin couldn't understand Su Junping's "youthful feelings are always poetry", not only that, he didn't think of Su Junping very much, the ancients said it well, "When you are full, you think about lust/desire", Chen Yilin ran out against the wind and snow every day, only full There is no warmth, and I am so tired that I fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow every day.

He went to find the perpetrator a few years ago. The family lived in the countryside. He arrived at his house after an hour's bus ride. First, the door was closed and Chen Yilin knocked on the door for 10 minutes. Opening the door, he said perfunctorily: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I am busy visiting relatives to have a New Year's dinner to worship the ancestors. Let's talk about things after the New Year."

Chen Yilin went there again a few years later, and the eldest son said: "It's not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, brother, hurry up to reincarnate."

Chen Yilin was sitting at the table, stroking the inferior glass with his fingers, not speaking, just staring at the ups and downs of the tea stem.

Chen Yilin usually always smiles, even when he is not smiling, the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned, and when he looks at him, he always feels like a baby being held in the palm of his hand.But when he completely faded away from the smile, the eyeballs that were too dark looked a little piercing, like a knife cutting open the flesh and piercing straight into the heart.

The eldest son of the old woman looked at the bottom of his heart, and said in a different tone: "I didn't say no, right, but for the Chinese New Year, you are not festive at all."

Chen Yilin smiled and said: "Debt collection is not a festive event. If you don't pay the money, you will feel uneasy every day, and the year will not be good. You can have a good year if you pay it earlier."

The eldest son's daughter-in-law kept silent and kept pouring tea for him, as if tea could be worth the money.

The eldest son said again: "This is what my mother did, don't keep staring at me, you can see that I can't afford that much money for a while, and I am urging her now! Oops , no matter what, she is my mother. I went to visit the New Year early in the morning, and the first thing I said when I entered the door was: "Mom, I lost money!" How outrageous! Listen, how outrageous! Is that what my son said? ?! In a few days, it will be much better when I go to ask for money after the Lantern Festival is over. Anyway, there is no rush, so you just wait."

His mother handed over the matter to the eldest son without even showing her face, she made it clear that she wanted the eldest son to take money to help her pay compensation, if the old woman was willing to pay, it would have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Chen Yilin drank his tea and stood up. The eldest son and his wife said a few New Year wishes against their will and sent him off at the door. Chen Yilin bent over to put on his shoes and said casually: "We signed an agreement with the traffic police brigade. Please persuade me Your mother, there is no way to rely on this."

The eldest son said, of course, how could it be so bad.

Chen Yilin smiled: "If she still refuses to call me, I will call a lawyer."

After finishing speaking, without looking at the subtle expressions of the two people, he said Happy New Year and left.

Chen Yilin pulled the zipper of his down jacket to the top, walked slowly, and picked a tenacious dogtail grass to play with. If it hadn't rained halfway, he might have kept this leisurely pace until he reached the station.

He swiped his card and sat down on his seat. Looking at the heavy rain, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he didn't bring an umbrella.

As for a lawyer, he would never hire one. He didn't have that spare money at all, but it was just used to frighten them. As long as they carefully inquired about Chen Yilin's family conditions, this lie would probably be exposed.While thinking about the clothes at home, Chen Yilin was thinking about a new way to collect debts.

When getting out of the car, it was still raining heavily. Chen Yilin jumped down and walked along the eaves. He was waiting for the traffic light in front of a clothing store. .

Glasses are blurred.

Duck down can absorb water quite well, and it is as heavy as a brick after absorbing water. Seeing that he was splashed all over, Chen Yilin didn't want to hide from the rain at all, and walked home swaggeringly.

After returning home, he collected his clothes, took a hot shower, and got up to work the next day as usual, but was sent back at noon because his face was flushed.

Along with coughing and runny nose, Chen Yilin had a fever.
