Chapter 20 Home Visit

"Everything is mortal. Grass, wood, bird, beast, insect, some live in the morning and die at dusk, some live in spring and summer and die in autumn and winter, and some die in ten years, one hundred years and one thousand years..."

The sound of reading aloud came from the school. .

"Yimin, why didn't you come today?" Lin Xinshu asked a student.

The student put down his book and replied, "Sir, Yimin hasn't come to school for several days."

"Really." Lin Xinshu paused and continued to ask, "Did you say why you didn't come?"

"He didn't say, and I don't know." The student replied.

Lin Xinshu frowned a little, thinking that he had to go to his home after school to have a look.

Lin Xinshu packed his things, went to the office and asked Sun Rubin who was still in the room: "Mr. Sun, do you know where Chen Yimin's family lives?"

"Wait a minute, let me check." Sun Rubin put down the things in his hands, took the notebook standing next to him and searched for a while, and said, "His family lives at No. 196 Qixin Street."

"OK, thanks."

"What happened to him?" Sun Rubin asked with concern.

"He hasn't come to the school these days, so I'm a little worried and want to go and have a look." Lin Xinshu said.

"Then I'll take you there, I'm done here too." Sun Rubin stood up after finishing speaking.

Lin Xinshuben is a person who doesn't like to bother others, so he said: "No, thank you, Mr. Sun." After finishing speaking, he left.

Zhong Chengyi had already waited at the door early, and seeing Lin Xinshu coming out, he hurried forward, seeing that the scarves were all neatly dressed, he smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Xinshu hesitated for a while, then said: "Well... General, you should go back first, I have some things to deal with today."

Zhong Chengyi frowned and asked, "What's the matter? I'll take you there."

"Uh... It's nothing but going to a student's house, his house is a little far away..." Lin Xinshu saw Zhong Chengyi's face getting worse and worse, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and his voice gradually became quieter.

Zhong Chengyi opened the car door and said, "I'll take you there."

Lin Xinshu couldn't help but refuse when he saw people like this, so he got into the car.

"Mr. Lin, where are you going?" Lieutenant Li asked.

"Oh, let's go to No. 196 Qixin Street, please." Lin Xinshu said.

Lieutenant Li smiled and said, "No trouble, sir, please sit down."

Inside the car, it was obviously very warm, but Lin Xinshu felt a chill and pressure invisibly. He secretly glanced at Zhong Chengyi next to him, but seeing that the person still didn't speak, he could only turn his head and look out the window.

As if he hadn't done anything to make him unhappy. . . .

There was an inexplicable panic in the car. Lin Xinshu raised his hand and wanted to open the window, but a big hand held down his hand. In the next second, a burst of warm and steamy breath sprayed on Lin Xin's face. The auricles were itchy, and a deep voice sounded in the ear: "Don't open the window, it will be cold."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Lieutenant Li: "Minsheng, open some windows, not too big."

"Okay, General."

Lin Xinshu unconsciously raised his hand and touched the numb and itchy pinnae.

The messy wind outside the car window destroyed the residual leaves on the tree, swirling unsteadily from the branches, and slowly falling to the ground.

"General, sir, we are here." Adjutant Li got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them.

Just as Lin Xinshu was about to get out of the car, Zhong Chengyi pulled him back, "Wait, put on the scarf." A soft scarf was hung around his neck, half a circle around his cheeks and tied in a knot.

"Thank you." Lin Xinshu said, pulling the scarf that covered half of his face.

The red brick wooden door is pasted with couplets of the God of Wealth, and the copper ring has been rusted due to rain and age.

"Yimin went to the street to buy some vegetables and meat, and made some soup tonight." A woman's voice came from the room.

"Okay, mother." The wooden door was pushed open, and a little boy wearing some old clothes came out with a bamboo basket.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"What's wrong? Did you forget to take something?" The woman wiped her wet hands, walked out of the room and opened the door, "Who are you?"

"Hi, my name is Lin Xinshu, and I'm the teacher of Yimin Academy." Lin Xinshu said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Mr. Lin, please come in." The woman came to her senses, hurriedly greeted the two of them to enter the room, looked at the somewhat messy desktop, tidied it up casually and said, "Sorry, the house is a little messy, I hope you don't mind."

Lin Xinshu said, "I don't mind."

After a few people sat down, the woman asked: "Um... is Mr. Yimin causing trouble in the school? Or..." The woman paused, her eyes a little lonely.

"No, no, no, I came here just to ask why Yimin didn't go to school recently, is there something wrong at home?"

The woman was a little shocked when she heard that Yimin didn't go to school, but she smiled again after a while and replied: "Oh, that's right, Yimin's grandmother is not in good health recently, so Yimin stays with his grandmother at home." Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely let him go to school tomorrow, tomorrow."

"That's good." Lin Xinshu nodded.

Seeing that it was getting late, the woman asked, "Have you eaten, sir? Why don't you stay together?"

Lin Xinshu shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, thank you for your kindness. The elders in the family have already prepared dinner and are waiting for us to go back." After speaking, he stood up, "It's getting late, so we will go back first .”

"That's it. Okay, sir, go slowly." The woman stood up and sent Lin Xinshu and Zhong Chengyi out.

After a while, Chen Yiming returned home with a vegetable basket, opened the door and shouted: "Mom, I'm back!" Turning around, he was startled when he saw his mother standing behind him, "Wow, mother, what are you doing?" Standing behind me without saying a word, it's frightening to death."

Chen Yimin patted his chest, and before he was overwhelmed by shock, he saw his mother holding a thin cane in her hand.

not good!

The corners of the mouth twitched a little, and she stepped back unconsciously, saying, "Mom, what are you doing with the cane? Me, I shouldn't have caused trouble recently."

The woman sneered, squinted at Chen Yimin and said, "No trouble? No trouble, why did Mr. Lin come to our house? Tell me! Why don't you go to school!"

"Well, mother, don't be angry, put down the cane first!"

Yimin shouted while running.

"Stop for me! It's reasonable not to go to school! Stop for me!" The woman chased after her with a cane.

An elderly man heard a noise outside the courtyard, and walked out. Seeing a woman chasing Chen Yimin, he hurried forward and shouted, "Oh, what the hell are you doing?"

"Mother, you come into the house quickly, don't worry about it, this kid will go to the house for three days! If his husband hadn't come here today, I wouldn't know that he didn't even go to school without telling us!" The woman Pointing at Chen Yimin out of breath, "You, come here quickly!"

Chen Yimin looked at his mother, moved over slowly, spread his hands out of fear and said, "Go ahead."

When the woman saw the hand in front of her, her heart softened for a moment, but then she hardened again and said, "Do you think I won't hit you?" After speaking, she picked up the cane in her hand and hit it, "Say! Why? Don't go to school!"

"Ah! Uh..." Chen Yimin said sobbingly, "Uh...I'm afraid...I'm afraid that my father will come back and cause trouble for you, so I won't go to school, woo... woo"

The woman was stunned, her eye circles were a little red, she took Chen Yimin's hand, blew on it, and said in a choked voice, "Does it hurt?"

Chen Yimin shook his head and said: "Mom, I don't hurt, I'm sorry I made you angry, I will definitely go to school tomorrow, don't cry."

The woman wiped her tears, took Chen Yimin's hand into the room and said, "I'm not crying, go in and apply the medicine."

The old man looked at the backs of the two mother and son with red eye circles, and followed him into the house.

Seeing that Zhong Chengyi was still silent after getting into the car, Lin Xinshu asked, "Are you angry?"

Zhong Chengyi glanced at Lin Xinshu, and replied flatly, "No."

"Oh." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Lin Xinshu turned his head and looked out the car window.

After a long time, Zhong Chengyi asked: "You won't let me see you off, are you planning to walk so far by yourself?"

Lin Xinshu froze for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing people's attitude, Zhong Chengyi was furious, with a dark face, and even his tone was a bit unpleasant: "It's winter, you are not fully recovered from your illness! When you get sick, who will you torment? Who will feel sorry for you?" !"

Lin Xinshu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhong Chengyi. Seeing the man's face darkened, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"You!" Zhong Chengyi saw that people were aggrieved, his heart softened, he sighed, and said, "Don't do this next time."

Lin Xinshu nodded obediently, indicating that he knew.

Lieutenant Li, who was driving in front, couldn't help sighing when he heard Zhong Chengyi's tone, when did the general become like this?

Makes one's teeth sour. .

"Mr. Shen, hello." Fang Qiming said to Mr. Shen with a smile.

Old Mr. Shen was a little strange about this, since Third Young Master Fang had nothing to do with his own family, why did he come to visit today, so he asked curiously: "Young Master Fang, what's the matter with Mr. Shen?"

Fang Qiming smiled and said: "It's like this, Mr. Kennett has been asked to cooperate with a batch of silk and satin raw materials in my factory, but for some reasons, Mr. Kennett's silk and satin raw materials can only be provided to your family, so I think Seeing that your family only makes silk and brocade, not burlap, our family does, so I thought that since I can't cooperate with Mr. Kennett, I would be very happy to cooperate with Mr. Shen, but..."

"Mr. Shen said that he needs my father's consent before agreeing, so I made a special visit to ask for your opinion."

Old Mr. Shen glanced at Shen Fu, and said: "Haha, so it is like this, this business is decided by Xiao Fu, I don't know much about business, since the third young master is willing to cooperate with our family, we are too. Very happy."

Fang Qiming raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Fu, then turned to the old man and said, "Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

When Fang Qiming got into the car, the boy beside him asked, "Master, are you done?"

Fang Qiming smoked a cigarette and said, "Of course."

"Sure enough, the young master is going out, one is worth two." The boy said happily.

"Give me a private room at Chengtian Restaurant tomorrow." Fang Qiming squinted his eyes as he looked at the door of Shen's house, "This time I'm going to invite Mr. Shen to dinner alone."

"okay."
