Strangers Ten Years Later

For a whole day, Lin Jin didn't have a drop of water. He came out from Ye Ziyuan and went back to the house. After waking up with his head covered, he packed his things and came to the train station. How could he think of eating? If he wasn't hungry now Suffering from stomach cramps, he probably still can't remember that he hasn't eaten yet.

Lin Jin waited for the trolley on the train to come here - he was so hurt that he had no energy to get up and go shopping by himself.

Lin Jin huddled into a small ball, leaning his head against the window, with a numb face, and kept beating his stomach with the back of his hand.

"Does your stomach hurt?"

Lin Jin was startled by the sudden female voice. He turned his head and saw a woman in her thirties who frowned slightly and looked at him. Seeing him turn her head, she continued to ask, "Where is my place?" There are stomach medicines, would you like to take one?"

"Mom, mom, you said you have to eat before taking stomach medicine, give uncle my bun!" The little girl's childish voice sounded.

Lin Jin looked over, the little girl was only five or six years old, her face was flushed, her eyes were crystal clear, and the obsidian pupils were like stars in the sky, shining brightly, looking straight into people's hearts.

"Go ahead, aren't you the most reluctant to be touched by your bun?!" The woman patted her face in disgust.

"Uncle is good-looking, I will feed him!" the little girl said with a smile, "Mom is not good-looking, so I won't give it to Mom!"

Lin Jin laughed out loud.

He was a little surprised. He thought that with his current state of mind, he might not be able to laugh at anything that happened.

Never expected to be amused by such a little girl.

"Eat." The woman forcefully pulled out his hand, spread it out, then shook out the contents of the medicine bottle, and handed over a glass of water with a suitable temperature, "We are not bad people when we are away from home, you can rest assured."

Lin Jin thanked the little girl hoarsely, took the little girl's bun, bit off it in two or three bites, and couldn't help rubbing the little girl's head: "Thank you."

The little girl's eyes became brighter: "Uncle, my name is Tongtong, what's your name?"

"Hi, I'm Yu Yan." The woman also smiled at Lin Jin.

Tongtong is a very cheerful and lively girl. For ten hours, she hardly had ADHD. Once she saw something interesting, she would run to Lin Jin to point it out to him. Tongyan Tongyu, or It more or less alleviated Lin Jin's unhappiness, and let him forget about the Beijing affairs for the time being.

After some questioning, Lin Jin found out that Yu Yan and Tongtong came to see a doctor. It is said that there is an authoritative expert in Shanghai who is very powerful.

Lin Jin was inexplicably thinking of those goofy little words about leukemia and cancer flying together, so he swallowed, and asked a little nervously, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yu Yan smiled: "It's okay, don't think too much, it's just my rheumatism."

Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Yandao: "You don't think there's something wrong with my silly Tong Tong, do you?"

Being told the central matter, Lin Jin smiled awkwardly.

Tongtong jumped twice: "Mom, you are stupid! I am not stupid!"

"Yes, Tongtong is the smartest." Yu Yan looked at his girl with a smile, "Oh, I'm like a monkey for a day, how can I get married in the future?"

Tongtong looked at Lin Jin suddenly and asked, "Uncle Lin, do you think I'm cute?"

Lin Jin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Naturally it's cute."

Tongtong laughed twice: "That's good, I will let Uncle Lin marry me in the future. It is also Uncle Lin's blessing to marry such a lovely Tongtong!"

She pretended to speak like an adult, making everyone sitting in the circle laugh together, and the 40-year-old aunt who was sitting on one side also interrupted the conversation: "Oh, this little girl is really painful, young man , if you agree, you can't let her down."

Lin Jin smiled, touched Tongtong's face, and said half-jokingly: "Uncle Lin has someone he likes, if Uncle Lin can forget him, I'll be with you, how about it?"

Tongtong almost jumped up.

Lin Jin's stomach pain eased a lot because of taking the things and medicines from the mother and daughter. When the trolley arrived, he bought a lot of snacks for Tong Tong and returned them.

The ten hours became not boring at all because of having Tongtong. When he got off the train, he exchanged contact information with Yu Yan, and agreed to play with Tongtong when he had the opportunity in the future.

The little girl Tongtong was already very reluctant to part with him, and bid him farewell with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Lin, don't forget me!"

Lin Jin was amused.

Walking out of the train station, the air was full of familiarity, and Lin Jin felt as if he had passed away.

He has not been back to Shanghai for several years.

Shanghai is a place of rapid development. Over the past few years, there are even more tall buildings and buildings here, and everything has become strange. The narrow alleys and streets with Shanghai atmosphere can no longer be found.

Everything is unfamiliar.

Lin Jin took a taxi, reported the address near his home, and said, "Just find a hotel over there."

Before getting on the train, Lin Jin had only one thought, which was to meet his mother as soon as possible, but after getting off the train, he felt shy about being close to his hometown.

He knew that woman, the whole stubborn stone, if he would have softened his heart, he should have answered his call a few years ago, but in six or seven years, the mother and son had no contact at all, which proved that she had not forgiven him, even if he Going back should also be the result of being kicked out of the door directly.

Just like seven years ago.

Seven years ago, when he was a senior in college, he got an offer from one of the world's top [-] companies in Shanghai. His mother was so happy that he invited the neighbors around him to dinner.

In fact, Lin Jin knew that her mother had been having a hard time for so many years.

She divorced that man back then and divided the property evenly, but she didn't take any of it. She deposited it all in the bank and kept it for him. She rented a room in the old community and did low-level work every day. , in order to earn some money, my eyes are not good, my hands are not flexible, and life is very difficult.

However, there are many gossipers in the community. She is a woman with a child, so it is inevitable that she will attract criticism. They can say everything, saying that she got pregnant before marriage, saying that she is not a woman... There are a lot of chatter. Come over, at first, Lin Jin would argue with others, but later, he realized that it didn't make any sense.

In 2012, the mother and son returned home after a meal. The mother still had a happy smile on her body, and told him to wash up quickly, and to tell him something very important after washing.

Lin Jin also said, "Mom, I also want to tell you something very important."

He watched his mother happily agree, went into the kitchen, took out his mobile phone, stared at the message from Ye Ziyuan in a daze.

Ye Ziyuan: Have you told your mother?

Ye Ziyuan: Lin Jin, let me tell you, if you dare to go back to Shanghai, buddy, we won’t do it, anyway, the chances of seeing you in the rest of your life are very few!

Ye Ziyuan: I am alone in Beijing, are you willing to see me so lonely?Stay with me.You might as well find a promising job for you.

……

His words were one after another, using all kinds of reasons, just to keep him in Beijing, never thinking about him, and at that time, he never thought about himself.

Previously, Lin Jin had been hesitating. After all, his mother was old. If he went to Beijing, he would have little chance to return to Shanghai, but he couldn't bear Ye Ziyuan.

Just so hesitant, Ye Ziyuan pushed him instead.

If they return to Shanghai, they will completely cut off contact with him.

Lin Jin didn't know if what Ye Ziyuan said was true or not, but he didn't want to bet on anything about Ye Ziyuan.

Lin Jin pushed open the door, looked at the busy mother in the kitchen, dried her hair, and walked over.

Mother turned her head with a smile: "Washed?"

She hasn't smiled so happily for many years... Lin Jin looked at her.

"Come on, come and have a look." His mother took him by the hand and sat down on the sofa, and took out a notebook from the drawer of the tea table, "I bought this house for you a long time ago, on the edge of the second ring road. Now that you have settled down with a job, you can move in, and now the house price has risen a lot, and it will be decent to find a girl in the future..."

"Mom." Lin Jin interrupted her calmly.

Mother replied: "Hey." She raised her eyes and looked at him seriously, her eyes were shining.

Lin Jin lowered his head, not daring to look at him: "This job in Shanghai... I don't plan to go."

He could clearly feel that his mother's hand holding him froze suddenly, and then the other party withdrew her hand: "What joke are you talking about? This job is so good and decent, and it's still in Shanghai. Don't joke around with your mother." ah……"

"Really," Lin Jin lowered his voice, but he was sure, "I also got an offer in Beijing, and the company there is not bad..."

"Lin Jin!" Mother shook off his hand fiercely, stood up, and her voice was already sharp, "I raised you so big, worked hard from morning to night, and worked hard, just to let you fly away?!"

Lin Jin froze all over, tried to raise his head, and met the other party's gaze: "Mom..."

His mother's complexion was extremely ugly and stiff. Only then did he realize that his mother was already very old due to wind and frost. Her temples were gray and wrinkled, and she was much older than her peers.

Lin Jin suddenly felt regretful, but he couldn't bear Ye Ziyuan, so he could only say, "Mom, listen to me, with my ability, I can do well in Beijing. I'll buy a house with a loan and take you over there. Aren't we still staying together? Besides..."

"Stop it!" My mother yelled these words almost hysterically, but in an instant, her expression suddenly became a little daunting, "I will stay in Shanghai, this is my root, I am not going anywhere! you--"

"mom……"

Lin Jin yelled, and seeing his mother suddenly turn around and enter the room, after a lot of tossing, as if she was looking for something, Lin Jin trembled all over, feeling an ominous premonition.

In the next second, a thick diary was thrown to the ground by her mother. Her face was gloomy, and she said word by word: "Are you doing it for this surname Ye?!"

The author has something to say: What happened, why did I skyrocket more than 60 favorites overnight... Is it a bug in Changpei? ? ? ? ?If I'm afraid, I'll ask for another wave of comments and starfish by the way, hahahaha
