C6 It's Delicious
Lin Xi picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. It was the dragon's only chance of survival. "It's my fault for disturbing Elder Shu. I'll make it up to you."
Elder Shu's eyes lit up when he saw the chess piece on the chessboard. He clapped his hands on his thigh and laughed heartily. He looked like a naughty child.
"Right, right. This is the place. This old man has won!"
Lee Binn could not help but smile bitterly when he saw Lin Xi help Elder Shu put down a piece. "Little Lin, why don't you help me? You always help Elder Shu win me."
The giant dragon on the chessboard was able to escape from the sky and overturn the seas. Lee Binn was no longer a match for it. He threw the chess piece back into the chess box. "Elder Shu, this is not a match. Lil' Lin played this game."
Elder Shu did not care about that. He laughed even more proudly. "Hahaha. Xiao Li, if you lose, you have to admit it. I am Xiao Lin's landlord. If you don't help me, can you help me?"
After saying that, Elder Shu turned to look at Lin Xi, sizing him up. "The hospital hasn't been empty for ten days," he said. "It has become much fairer."
Lin Xi giggled. In fact, Elder Shu stayed in the hospital the second day. He had come to see Lin Xi before. He was still in a coma at the time, but Zhou Zhe told him later.
Initially, Elder Shu had been very worried when he came, but after hearing Zhou Zhe's explanation, he left with ease. Before he left, he said, "You made me worry for nothing!"
However, after Lin Xi woke up, he remembered this kindness in his heart, because Elder Shu really treated him like his own grandson.
Suddenly, when Elder Shu saw the Calabash Bottle in Lin Xi's hand, a strange look flashed across his face. "Where did you get this Calabash Bottle from? Show it to me!"
Lin Xi gave the Calabash Bottle to Elder Shu and said with a smile. "I bought it on the street stall when I just came back. I spent a total of 50 yuan. If it did not look like the old man's gourd, I would not spend this money. If Elder Shu likes it, I will give it to you."
Elder Shu held the Calabash Bottle in his hand and studied it carefully. He then lifted it up and looked at the signature at the bottom of the bottle. Then, he handed it to Lee Binn. "Xiao Li, take a look too."
"If your master knew that you called him an old man behind his back, he would probably clean up the door. But what do you mean by filial piety? I'll accept your kindness. In the future, when you have time, just play a few more games of chess with me. "
Lee Binn returned the Calabash Bottle to Lin Xi after he finished reading it. A Buddha's smile hung on his face. "Little Lin, why don't you ask me? Maybe I want it."
"Uncle Lee, you're making fun of me again. Your family doesn't lack these cheap things. If I take them back, it will be a disgrace to you. When I have money in the future, I will give you a big antique. If I tell others, you will have a lot of face."
Elder Shu waved his hand, as if he was shooing Lin Xi away. "Go, go, go. Don't disturb us playing chess. There are a lot of people who don't talk much. Where did you learn these glib words?"
Lin Xi smiled and found a place to sit. He thought for a while and said seriously, "Elder Shu," he said. I'm out of work.
Elder Shu cleaned the chessboard and put the pieces back into the chess box. "What do you plan to do in the future?"
Lin Xi thought about it. "My classmate is going to get married in a few days. He sent me an invitation. I want to go back and take a look first, then go back to see my mom. I'll make plans when I get back."
"Since you've already decided, why are you still telling me?"
Lin Xi smiled. "I'm leaving Ming Zhou in a few days. "That's why I said goodbye to Old Master Shu first. Of course, there's also Uncle Lee."
"It's not like we're not coming back. What's the point of saying goodbye? Hurry up and get out of here. Don't get in our way of playing chess."
"Hehe, Elder Shu, I'll be leaving then. Li Shu, I'll be leaving first."
Seeing Lin Xi's departing back, Miefu Lee Binn couldn't help but exclaim. "What a feast for the eyes. How can the word tender be impressive? This kid is really lucky. Why don't I have such good luck? It's only 50 yuan!"
Elder Shu said with a smile. "Yeah, this silly kid's luck makes me jealous. But you, this pretty boy, are really good at eating."
"Then why didn't you tell him?"
"Why did you tell him that he picked up a big leak and picked up a few million dollars' worth of real items? " Not everyone is able to keep a low profile when it comes to money. "
Lee Binn smiled. "Are you really going to leave him alone?"
Elder Shu looked at Lin Xi's disappearing back and did not show any emotion. "Never mind. No matter what, only this silly boy can trouble my old bones. It's also a good time to go out for a walk. Give Old Jane a call. This silly boy saved his old life. Could it be that he gave me tens of thousands of yuan?"
Maitrev laughed. "Alright, let's play chess first. When we get back, I'll call Elder Jian. It's your turn!"
...
Lin Xi returned home and placed the Calabash Bottle in the most conspicuous position. He then took out his phone and called his mother, who was far away in his hometown.
After the phone was picked up, a gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hello, Little Lin? Why are you calling me now?"
"Mom, it's me. I just missed you."
"You, kid. Mom misses you too. Are you okay working in Ming Zhou?"
Lin Xi was silent for a moment. "Good, good. The boss told me to raise my salary a few days ago. Mom, I want to tell you something."
"The boss gave you a raise, so you have to work hard. You have to live up to your salary. What do you want to say to Mom?"
"The boss said that I worked seriously and gave me a long vacation, so I wanted to come back and see you."
The manager on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. She said gently, "Okay. When are you coming back? Mom will pick you up at the station."
"I don't know yet. We still have work to finish here, but it should be soon. I will call you when I come back."
"Okay, call Mom when you get back. Mom will pick you up at the station."
Lin Xi hung up the phone. His nose was a little sore. He thought about the Internet. "When I was young, I had money and said it in front of my parents. When you grew up, even if you didn't have money, you had to say you had money. When you were young, you didn't report good news, but when you grew up, you didn't keep good news.
The next morning, Lin Xi was still dreaming and did not want to wake up. He dreamed that he was playing by the lake with a beautiful girl holding hands, but the strange thing was that he could not see the girl's face clearly. It was as if there was a layer of gauze covering the girl's face. When he was about to reach out and remove the gauze, A pair of large hands fell abruptly on his shoulders from behind, startling him.
The loud knocking on the door caused Lin Xi to be tossing and turning on the bed, but that bed seemed to have some special magic that attracted Lin Xi so much that he could not get up.
However, the knocking on the door was getting louder and louder, and Zhou Zhe's shouts could be heard. Even if Lin Xi used the pillow and blanket to cover his head, it would not help.
Finally, Lin Xi decided to compromise. He ran to the door like a madman and opened it. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Zhou Zhe holding a piece of breakfast in his hand. His anger had disappeared.
Lin Xi pointed at the alarm clock on the bed and complained. "It's only a few o'clock and you already knocked on the door. Are you still going to let me sleep?"
Zhou Zhe put down his breakfast and said, "Have you forgotten that the train is going to Lu Zhou today? What if it's late?"
Lin Xi was already unhappy that someone woke him up. When he heard Zhou Zhe's words, he immediately became angry. "The train is only half past eleven. It is only six o'clock now. Are you in a hurry to sell pigs?"
Zhou Zhe sighed. "Sigh, you are such a person. Why don't you have any sense of worry? What if there is a traffic jam? What if there is an accident?"
Lin Xi felt a headache coming on. He asked seriously, "I just got out of the hospital and you are cursing me for having an accident. Are you doing this on purpose?"
Zhou Zhe pushed his glasses up. "I am not cursing you. Everything is possible. I am prepared."
Lin Xi was not sleepy at all. He put on his clothes and washed up. After washing up, he picked up Zhou Zhe's breakfast and ate it. He was not polite at all. "Tell me, what is it? If you have nothing to do, you must be having an affair."
Actually, when Lin Xi opened the door and saw the breakfast in Zhou Zhe's hand, he knew that he must have something to ask of him. Otherwise, he would never bring him breakfast. After knowing Zhou Zhe for so many years, who didn't know who he was?
