He said warmly: "Then I will give you the gift, and you will forgive me, okay?"
Lin Tangtang responded crisply.
"Then let's go home first."
Lin Yan held Lin Tangtang in one hand and picked up all the things with the other, then walked into the residential building and walked up the narrow stairs. The little yellow dog ran very fast with its tail wagging. It was used to climbing stairs.
Sometimes he would wait for them on the stairs, and sometimes he would run back down and circle around his feet.
Naturally, a low-rent housing complex like this will not have an elevator.
The base city's defense system against the intrusion of avian monsters is powered by electricity, so the power supply is very tight and their power usage is limited.
Their family was okay. They lived on the 12th floor, which was not too high. Lin Yan didn't walk very fast. The little girl fell asleep in his arms for a while, but her little hands were still holding his sleeves tightly.
Lin Yan looked at her sleeping face, the tears on her face were not yet dry.
There is a warm feeling in my heart.
He stood in front of his house, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.
Click——
After a while, the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman in an apron stuck her head out: "Who is it?"
The woman said in surprise: "Xiao Yan, you are back!"
She opened the door and took off the rubber gloves on the handle: "Why didn't you tell us when you came back?"
"I asked your dad to buy some food when he comes back."
She hurriedly went to call her father.
Lin Yan closed the door, put the things beside the door, walked into the room, took off the sleeping Lin Tangtang's shoes, gently placed them on the bed, and covered her stomach with the corner of the quilt.
Then I looked at the small house in my memory where a family of four had lived for so many years.
It was only about 30 square meters in total, a one-bedroom-one-living structure, with few electrical appliances and furniture, and only one bed. His parents took Tangtang to sleep, but the bed was not big, and it was actually very crowded.
He usually stays at school, and when he goes home, he sleeps on the shabby sofa in the living room.
Most people in the base city survive like this. Their family is actually pretty good. Their parents are very hard-working and their children are obedient. Tangtang is very smart and can take care of himself even when he is very young, so his life is not bad.
.
Some families really have nothing to live by.
Like Chen Lian, his mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to him. People's physical fitness today is much better than that of ordinary people before the Great Nirvana period. The difficult delivery is simply caused by poor conditions and insufficient nutrition.
His father was a gambler, and his grandfather raised him by picking up rags. This kind of pain is something that no outsider can understand.
But there is no way, really no way.
Even this kind of peace is burdened with blood and sacrifice. The treatment given to warriors is also money to buy their lives. Everyone knows it, but everyone still hopes to become a warrior. This is not only a ladder leading to privileges.
, or because the life of the weak is worthless.
His mother Qiu Baihui walked into the room softly, looked at Lin Tangtang on the bed, and then motioned to Lin Yan to come to the living room to talk.
"Did Tangtang cry?"
Lin Yan smiled and said: "Yes, I cried so hard."
"She has long been wondering when you will come home, and so does your child. Didn't you say that the military experience is only for two months? Why are you coming back now after your school has been open for several days? I heard that you had another illness in the past two months.
There's a beast wave, and we can't contact you, but we're worried to death."
Qiu Baihui's eyes were a little red: "If I had known earlier, I would have disagreed with you going to the army during the summer vacation. If you also went to the battlefield and didn't come back, what would we do..."
Lin Yan looked at the woman in front of him. She was only thirty-nine years old this year, but she had deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was not tall. It could be seen that she must have been pretty when she was young. She gave birth to very handsome children, but now
There are not many points left.
He felt his heart was clogged and his throat was a little dry: "Am I back now? There is discipline in the army, so I didn't contact you before, which made you worry."
Of course it is possible to contact him. Even if the beast tide incident is over and he wants to come back, no one will stop him.
It's just that he hasn't figured out how to face them.
But now I feel a little regretful.
Why bother with these things?
They are all very good, and he has responsibilities and obligations to let them live a good life. He hopes that they can be happy, happy, and happy.
But it's not too late now, not at all.
…
Child Lin Tangtang's eyes widened as he looked at the dancing robotic kitten with flashing lights on the ground, an expression of wonder on his face.
The little yellow dog didn't realize the importance of the problem at first.
It was very novel to walk around the Doraemon.
Slowly, it found itself... falling out of favor!
It was wagging its tail and wandering around Lin Tangtang's child as usual, but Lin Tangtang's big eyes were fixed on Doraemon, developing its new ways of playing, without even looking at it.
Surprised syllables came out of his mouth.
The little yellow dog's tail wagged slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally drooped to the ground.
It glanced at Lin Yan with a "hateful" look, and then returned to its den dejectedly. At such a young age, it was burdened with pressure that should not be felt at this age.
Lin Yan smiled, took out the sealed bag of refined dog food in his backpack, and moved closer to its den: "I have not forgotten you. Come and give you delicious food. The one I bought is the most expensive."
The little yellow dog immediately stood up, puffed out his tongue, leaned his head over, and stared at the dog food in Lin Yan's hand. Looking at it, he wished he could grab it and unpack it.
Lin Tangtang suddenly put down her robot cat toy and squatted next to him, watching Lin Yan feed the little yellow dog. Ah Huang was eating happily, and she asked abruptly: "Can I eat this?"
Snapped!
Lin Yan patted her head gently.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Tangtang's little face puffed up, he moved his steps and turned away: "Humph!"
"Bad brother!"
I'm already surrounded by humming spirits!
When Lin Yan saw her look, he immediately thought of another girl who liked Heng Heng.
"After dinner, can I take you shopping?"
Lin Tangtang kissed him on the face and said happily: "Good brother, you must keep your word!"
After saying that, she ran off to play with her new toy.
At this time, the key was turned and the door was opened.
A middle-aged man who looked rather bookish came in, carrying two plastic bags in his hands. He looked at Lin Yan with a smile on his face: "You're back?"
The voice is very soft.
Lin Yan hummed, this is his father, Lin Yuanhe.
"It'll be good to be back."
The man's emotional expression was very restrained and he only said these two sentences.
Lin Yuanhe carried the vegetables he bought in plastic bags, and then prepared dinner with Qiu Baihui.
When the food was ready, the family sat around the foldable and retractable dining table. Lin Tangtang looked at the sumptuous dinner with bright eyes.
Two little feet were dangling under the dining table.
Lin Yan took out the prepared gifts.
"Mom, this is the gift I prepared for you when I came back today."
Inside the beautifully packaged box was a crystal hairpin, which cost two hundred thousand when he bought it.
Qiu Baihui was startled. When she was about to take it, she felt her hands were greasy: "Wait a minute, I'm going to wash my hands."
After washing for a while, he came back: "You kid, what gift are you preparing for me? This must cost a lot of money."
Her tone was a little distressed.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Open it and see if you like it."
When Qiu Baihui heard this, she thought it was her own family and it didn't matter if she opened it directly, so she opened the packaging box carefully.
Child Lin Tangtang looked at the crystal hairpin inside and let out a wow.
"looks great!"
Qiu Baihui sniffed in emotion, closed the packaging box again, looked at Lin Yan and said, "I like it very much."
Then he walked to the cabinet and put things away carefully.
She was just an ordinary woman. She didn't know how much this thing cost. She thought it would cost several thousand yuan for something so beautiful. She thought about asking Lin Yan to return it. She had no use for such beautiful jewelry, and she thought it was her son's.
But I can't bear it.
"Dad, the leader of my army asked me to bring this back to you."
Lin Yan handed the gift box containing the pen to Lin Yuanhe.
Lin Yuanhe was a little confused. Why did the head of the army give a gift to the soldier's father?
He opened it curiously, took out the pen inside, and saw a series of small characters on it.
Lin Yuanhe opened his eyes wide: "This is..."
Lin Yan said: "It's just a souvenir."
He took out all the cigarettes and alcohol again. There were two cigarettes in yellow packages and two bottles of wine. Lin Yuanhe didn't have any other hobbies, but he was indeed a long-time smoker. He could restrain himself in school, and he would smoke again when he got home.
One stick.
I smoke the cheapest cigarettes in the canteen.
He recognized the tobacco and alcohol. He had seen it on the Internet, but it was not commercially available at all.
It's a special offer.
Lin Yuanhe said in shock: "Lin Yan, who is the leader you are talking about?"
