Lin Yi knocked on the door. After a while, footsteps came from the yard, and then Tang Yun's voice: "Who is it?"
"It's me..." Lin Yi said.
There was an obvious silence inside the courtyard door, and then the door opened with a creak, revealing Tang Yun's bright face, but there was no smile on it, but there was a faint indifference: "Please come in."
Lin Yi was slightly startled. Although Tang Yun had a bad attitude towards him before, he was straightforward and straightforward. He would play tricks on him, step on himself, etc... But today, Tang Yun's eyes were full of anger.
indifferent.
Kang Xiaobo did not notice this detail. He followed Lin Yi into Tang Yun's yard curiously. Looking at the messy things in the yard, he pointed at the yard in surprise: "Boss, look, there are cherry trees.
?”
Those who live in bungalows and have a yard at home usually plant something in the yard. In Lin Yi's hometown, almost every household has one, so I'm not too curious.
Kang Xiaobo grew up in the city, so naturally he didn't see much of these things, so he was a little excited and strange.
"Yun'er, is your classmate here?" Mother Tang's voice came from the house. This was a brick house that looked very old. The specific age could no longer be determined. The house was made of red bricks.
, there is no cement outside, the windows are sealed with plastic sheets, and the door panels are full of mottled rust.
However, in this dilapidated environment, there lived a sunny girl, the common school beauty of No. 1 Middle School.
"Well..." Tang Yun responded lightly. There was no anger or dissatisfaction towards Lin Yi in her tone... it was completely like she was entertaining a stranger.
"Lin Yi is here, please come in!" Mother Tang happily walked out of the house, saw Lin Yi and Kang Xiaobo, and greeted them quickly.
"Auntie," Lin Yi called someone, and he and Kang Xiaobo entered the house. This was a typical old-fashioned room. As soon as you entered the door, there was a small kitchen with a door, and then a large room and a small room. Inside the small kitchen, there was
There is a small room, which must be Tang Yun's room.
"Hurry and sit in the room." Mother Tang greeted Lin Yi and Kang Xiaobo into the room, and then said to Tang Yun: "Yun'er, you accompany me to learn how to talk, and I'll prepare the barbecue!"
"Oh..." Tang Yun nodded without objection and sat on the chair opposite Lin Yi in the living room. Because the size of the sofa was limited, Tang Yun didn't want to squeeze in with Lin Yi, so she sat on Lin Yi's
opposite.
Tang's mother went out to do some work, and Tang Yun didn't say anything. She sat on a chair, holding her chin in her hand, looking at the ground, wondering what she was thinking.
Lin Yi was a little curious about what happened to Tang Yun today. Ever since he came in, he had been treating him strangely, like a stranger. Sitting in such an awkward position was nothing, so Lin Yi could only find a topic first: "
Is uncle in the house?"
Lin Yi heard something moving in the back room. Although the door was closed, with Lin Yi's hearing, the sound could not escape his ears.
"My father was injured at work and couldn't get up from bed." Tang Yun explained.
"Work injury? Is it serious?" Lin Yi was surprised. He had imagined various situations of Tang Yun's family before, but he never expected that Tang's father was actually injured and bedridden.
"I'm saving money to prepare for surgery in the second half of the year. If the surgery is successful, I can recover." Tang Yun said calmly, as if she was talking to a stranger.
"Work-related injuries, why doesn't the employer get paid?" Kang Xiaobo interrupted.
"The factory owner refuses to acknowledge the debt and refuses to pay, what can we do?" Tang Yun seemed to have already made an appointment. For the factory owner who refused to acknowledge the debt, she felt helpless and no longer angry.
"Should I go see Uncle Tang?" Lin Yi stood up and wanted to go to the back room, but was stopped by Tang Yun.
"My dad is resting, you don't want to go." Tang Yun did not let Lin Yi in. Tang Yun no longer wanted to have any entanglements with Lin Yi, so naturally she didn't want him to enter the house. If she owed Lin Yi any more favors
, then how can you pay it back?
It's not that Tang Yun doesn't understand the ways of the world. On the contrary, her father's incident has allowed her and her mother to experience the ups and downs of humanity in the world, and they have a deeper understanding of the harshness of the world.
Why should Lin Yi help his family? Apart from himself, who else in his family can be valued by Lin Yi? In the end, when his family cannot afford to repay the debt he owes him, he can only repay it with human debt and flesh.
.
Lin Yi just wanted to see how Tang's father's injury was, whether surgery could be avoided, and whether there was an easier way to treat it. However, since Tang Yun objected, Lin Yi was not in a hurry.
Kang Xiaobo didn't want to be a lightbulb. While Lin Yi was talking to Tang Yun, he stood up and walked aside, casually looking at the furnishings and arrangements in the room. Suddenly his eyes fell on a picture on the bookshelf.
There were three girls in the photo, one was Tang Yun, and the other was Tang Yun's best friend. She seemed to be named Liu Xinwen, who was also from No. 1 Middle School. Kang Xiaobo was a little impressed, but there was another girl who made Kang Xiaobo's eyes light up!
Although Tang Yun is undoubtedly the most beautiful and outstanding of the three girls in the photo, the other girl is just a little bit inferior, and her soft and frail look makes people lovable at first glance...
…
Who is this person? Kang Xiaobo's heart became active again. Kang Xiaobo had completely given up on Tang Yun. As long as Lin Yi could catch up with him, he would be satisfied, but this girl...
"This photo?" Kang Xiaobo couldn't help but ask.
Tang Yun turned her head following Kang Xiaobo's voice and saw the photo on the bookshelf, "They are my two good friends."
"I know this Liu Xinwen, she is also from our school, but this..." Kang Xiaobo hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that it was rude to ask so directly, he still asked without giving up.
"Her name is Lan Fen. She is a good friend of mine since childhood..." Tang Yun obviously didn't want to mention this matter more. She just introduced Lan Fen slightly and said no more.
Kang Xiaobo said "Oh" and silently wrote down the name, Lan Fen, it sounds pretty good? I just don't know where I go to school now? It's definitely not No. 1 Middle School. If I go to No. 1 Middle School, there is no way that I don't know it.
.
Although it is impossible for Lan Fen to be among the top three school beauties, she will definitely be a popular figure on campus. Among the girls in No. 1 Middle School, she can also be considered among the top ten.
I wanted to ask Lan Fen about her current situation, but Tang Yun seemed unwilling to tell her, so Kang Xiaobo had no choice but to give up.
Mother Tang's barbecue was brought in one after another, and the roasted chicken wings exuded an alluring aroma... Tang Yun helped her mother put the barbecue on the table in the living room, and then said coldly to Lin Yi: "Eat...
