Chapter 44 Memories
The store of this Shido restaurant is the original Shunhe restaurant, called "Colasto". Shortly after the incident involving Li Mingyu in Shunhe Restaurant, someone removed the restaurant's sign and pasted it with red paper for rent in the whole building. It was only a few weeks ago that someone came to install the new sign. The owner of the Shido restaurant is a foreigner. He may have just arrived in Y City and did not know that there had been a murder in this building.
Fortunately, when Lin Xue pushed the rolling gate up just now, the rolling gate did not make much noise, otherwise the three of them would find that she had walked out. She whispered to Liu Ruxi: "Liu Ruxi, let's wait here for a while. When my uncle finished smoking the whole cigarette, go and say hello, and then you go and close the small door."
Liu Ruxi whispered, "Oh, I got it, don't you want to smell his smoke?"
Lin Xue lowered her voice: "Well, I hate to smell other people's second-hand smoke."
Lin Guang threw the half piece of cigarette in his mouth under his feet and used his black leather shoes to wipe it out. Lin Xue looked at it from this angle and could see the front of the silver-gray sedan next to him, four circles, Audi.
Lin Xue pinched Liu Ruxi's arm and signaled him to walk over with him. Liu Ruxi showed Lin Xue that he understood with her eyes.
The two walked to Lin Guang together. Lin Xue saw the face of the middle-aged man in front of him. He was like Lin's father. He had a melon-shaped face, with sword-browed eyebrows, high nose and thick lips, and an inviolable aura between his eyebrows. He had a pair of frameless glasses on his high nose bridge, making him look elegant and smart.
Lin Xue looked at him and raised the corners of her mouth, without any smile in her eyes: "Uncle."
Lin Guangshu spread his originally frowning brows: "Xuexue, long time no see, you have grown taller and become more beautiful."
Lin Xue smiled perfunctorily: "Haha."
Lin Guang's eyes swept to Liu Ruxi standing next to Lin Xue and asked, "Xuexue, is this your cousin? He looks so handsome. It's a pity not to be a star."
When Liu Ruxi saw Lin Guang looking at him, he smiled slightly: "Hello."
Lin Xue: "Well, he is my distant cousin from my grandmother's house."
Lin Guang: "Xuexue, you haven't been to our house for a long time. You should have more contact with An An and grandparents."
Lin Xue smiled and said, "Well, I understand, uncle." She turned around and handed Liu Ruxi a bunch of keys in her hand, and said to him, "Liu Ruxi, go and close the door for me."
Liu Ruxi took the key: "Yes, OK."
Lin Guang looked at Liu Ruxi's direction and asked Lin Xue: "Xuexue, I remember that your grandmother's surname is Li, your grandfather's surname is Wang, how many relatives are your distant cousin who is surnamed Liu?"
When Lin Xue heard him ask, she suddenly burst out with a "cuckoo". Lin Xue was a little panicked: Oh no, now she meets this black-hearted and cunning uncle, how should she answer him?!!
Lin Xue's nails poked into her palms, and she replied: "He is the son of my grandmother's cousin's son."
Lin Guang stared at Lin Xue's big black and white eyes, and he asked suspiciously: "Hmm? Is that right?"
Lin Xue nodded twice: "Yes, yes."
Liu Ruxi locked the small door, and he walked over with a brown shopping bag in his left hand.
Lin Guang looked at Liu Ruxi and asked, "Your name is Liu Ruxi, right? I will call you Axi from now on."
Liu Ruxi smiled casually and said, "You are free."
Lin Guang: "Okay, Ah Xi, wait a moment and you will sit in the co-pilot and let all the three of them sit in the back."
Liu Ruxi: "Yes, OK."
Lin Guang: "Then let's get in the car now."
Lin Anan opened the left rear door and sat in first. Zhang Mei reached out and opened the right rear door and squeezed in. She sat in the middle of the back seat of the car and waved to Lin Xue, "Xuexue, why are you still standing stupidly? Come in quickly!"
Lin Xue glanced at Liu Ruxi, who had already opened the door of the passenger car next to her.
Liu Ruxi signaled Lin Xue to go in quickly with her eyes. She blinked at him mischievously, then bent over and sat in the car and closed the door.
When the car door was closed, Lin Xue smelled a familiar smell of men's cologne. The smell of this perfume was very light, and Lin Xue could also smell a faint smoke in the carriage.
Once on his father's birthday, Lin's mother went to buy a bottle of cologne water for his father. Lin Xue knew from then on that the perfume had a nice name: cologne water.
Lin Xue looked at the 97 lingerie store through the car window. Today there are as many customers as usual. Aunt Chen opened a total of 4 97 lingerie stores in Y City. Lin Xue thought: The monthly main business income of these 4 stores is 6 digits without 5 digits. What kind of job should I find to support myself in the future?
Lin Xue rolled down the car window, and the fresh air outside rushed into the car, blowing away the disgusting smell of smoke from the tip of her nose. The car drove through Xinyuan Shopping Mall and drove onto the road.
Lin Xue looked at the vehicles and buildings driving outside the window. In the past few years, many high-rise buildings have been built in Y City. Lin Xue thought: People cannot go back to the past, nor can she go back to her childhood.
She had no good feelings for her grandparents' family. Shortly after Lin Xue was born, she was taken back to her grandmother's house by Lin's mother. Lin's father followed Lin Guang to open a factory in City B. Both Lin's father and Lin Guang had learned about making molds by themselves. Lin Guang suggested to Lin's father: they opened a factory for processing and making bicycle parts and plastic bottle cap parts together, and the two brothers were bosses together.
Lin’s father had no opinion, but he trusted his only brother very much, and he quickly agreed to Lin Guang’s proposal.
Lin Guang is a smart and sleek man. He has made many friends locally and other places in Yi City. He quickly raised a considerable amount of money from these friends. He rented a large factory in City B and recruited many workers. He let his kind and cowardly brother become the legal representative of this Guangfei mold processing factory, but he became the owner of the factory.
Guangfei Mold Processing Factory slowly got on track under Lin Guang's dedicated management. Lin's father received many orders commissioned by customers to make molds. The two brothers finally tasted the sweetness of making money. The money was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, rolling into their accounts.
Lin Xue heard from Lin's mother that she left Lin Xue at her grandmother's house at that time and took Yunmei to visit Lin's father by herself. In those years, Guangfei mold factory was getting bigger and bigger in City B. Lin's father did not need to manage the factory like Lin Guang. He only needed to supervise and guide workers how to use various machine tools and countless tools to make qualified products.
The days of his pockets did not continue. I wonder if it was because Lin Guang was bleeding from his grandfather's blood. He was addicted to gambling like his grandfather.
Lin’s mother later mentioned to Lin Xue that during that time, Lin Guang often took a snakeskin bag to the bank to withdraw money. After withdrawing a bag of money, he went to gamble, but how could he win every time if he gambled?
Lin Guang began to embezzle public funds, and he borrowed money from Lin’s father to gamble. He was like a madman with a red gambling eye, only knowing that he would use money to gamble like a machine.
Lin's mother did not explain many things in detail to Lin Xue. Lin Xue had only a slight understanding of these things. She only knew that her father had brought a large debt for her uncle.
Later, Lin’s father returned to his hometown, Ycheng. He rented a shop in the carpentry market in Ycheng and continued to make money to support his family by making molds.
When Lin Xue had just entered junior high school, Lin Guang returned to Y City from another place. With the introduction and help of his childhood friend, he became the general manager of Minglian Hotel, and was in a good mood.
Lin Guang's wife Zhang Mei is also from Y City. Lin Xue and Lin Anan also played together when they were young.
Lin Xue has lived at her grandmother's house from birth to six years old. Only during the Chinese New Year and the holidays will Lin Xue take her back to her grandfather's house to play.
Lin Anan grew up under the care and love of her grandparents since she was a child. She always looks like a proud princess in front of Lin Xue. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Xue's grandparents are partial. Although the palms and backs of hands are all flesh, the flesh on the palms and backs of hands is still softer than the flesh on the backs of hands.
Since childhood, Lin’s father was not as smart and capable as Lin Guang. When he grew up, Lin’s father was not as tall and handsome as Lin Guang. Lin Xue’s grandparents’ hearts had long turned to Lin Guang. After Lin Guang married Zhang Mei, who was from a good family in Y City, Zhang Mei quickly gave birth to a fat and fat Lin Anan for him. Lin Xue’s grandmother Yang Juan regarded Lin Anan as her own treasure. Who made Lin Anan look like her?
Lin Xue's grandfather Lin Tingzhi often went out to play with his eldest granddaughter when Lin Anan was very young. As soon as he met an acquaintance, he would say to them: "This child is A Guang's daughter!"
Lin Xue remembered that once Lin’s mother took her back to her grandfather’s house to play. Lin’s mother whispered in her ear: “Xiaoxue, please let grandpa hug you! Let grandpa hug you out for fun!”
The little girl looked up and saw her grandfather holding her cousin. Her grandfather took apart a lollipop and put the pink lollipop into Lin Anan's mouth. Lin Anan tasted the delicious lollipop and laughed "heh, heh, heh", like the happiest child.
Lin Xue remembered that she and her grandmother were handling the funeral of Lin’s parents. Grandpa and grandma and uncle were sitting on the dark green sofa in the lobby of their home. Lin Xue brought the tea one by one for them. Grandma Yang Juan took her into the master’s room to close the door on the grounds of talking to her. After Yang Juan closed the door, she said to Lin Xue gently: "Xuexue, I saw your grandma here just now coming to clean up your parents’ things. Grandma wants to take a look, is that okay?"
Lin Xue felt physically and mentally exhausted at that time. She didn't know if her body could support her. When she heard Yang Juan ask her, she subconsciously nodded and agreed.
Lin Xue's grandmother cleaned up some unimportant things, leaving only a stack of documents piled up on the bedside table in the master's room.
Yang Juan sat down beside the bed. She took the stack of documents and quickly flipped through them. I don’t know how long it took, but she looked up and waved to Lin Xue, signaling Lin Xue to sit down next to her.
After Lin Xue sat down next to her, Yang Juan gently patted Lin Xue's back and said, "Xuexue, all this will pass. You have to live strongly. Your parents have gone... You have to help them do what they can't do now. Look at the paper I'm holding. You have to send money to these accounts every month. I was afraid that you would forget it just now, so I wrote the amount of money you should transfer every month in the back of these accounts. Oh! Fortunately, your father used to use a small one.
