A white big G with Su A11111 hanging on it passed through the main road in the capital and came to the gate of a family home. When the guard at the door saw the vehicle, he made a stop sign and walked over. The driver's window of the big G slowly rolled over. Slowly putting it down, the guard saw a young man wearing winter clothes and carrying a quarter on his shoulder. He saluted and asked:
“Hello, comrade, who are you looking for?”
Lin Shu smoothly took the pass from his mother's hand, along with his own ID, and said: "Villa No. 3, Lin Weiguo!"
Looking for Mr. Lin? !
The guard was stunned, and then he opened Lin Shu's ID card. When he saw the name on the first line, he understood what was going on. This young major also had the surname Lin, and had a pass here. He was obviously a member of the Lin family. He closed the pass, handed it back with both hands, and shouted to another guard:
“Let go!”
In this way, the vehicle entered the family courtyard unimpeded and stopped at the door of Villa No. 3.
It was now evening. Lin Shu, Lin Tonghai, and Xu Huilan got off the bus. As for Long Xiaoyun, Lin Shu had already sent her to the family home at No. 12 Xizhimen South Street in the capital before arriving. She went home. After all, I haven’t spent New Year’s Eve at home, and I have to go home on New Year’s Day anyway.
Speaking of which, Lin Shu was surprised to learn where Long Xiaoyun lived. He had already guessed what Long Xiaoyun's family did.
The door of the villa.
There were still guards on patrol, but they obviously knew Lin Shu and others, so they didn't stop them and let them go.
Lin Tonghai and Xu Huilan walked in front carrying gifts, Lin Shu followed beside them, the three of them walked through the small courtyard of the single-family house, entered the main building and pushed the door.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the living room on the first floor of the villa, including men and women, old and young, talking about something, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Seeing Lin Tonghai and others, they stopped talking and came over to say hello:
“Brother, sister-in-law, are you here?”
"Hey! Shu'er is here too. Have you not been to the capital for a few years?"
"Uncle, aunt, cousin..."
“Brother is here?”
Faced with these greetings, Lin Tonghai and Xu Huilan responded one by one. Even Lin Shu also greeted these elders and juniors. These people were basically their family members and had very close relationships. The furthest ones were just Lin Xiaoxiao and his family, who belonged to A member of Grandpa Lin Shu’s family.
Many relatives were stunned when they saw Lin Shu coming in military uniform!
What is the situation?
Why did Lin Shu come in military uniform?
They felt it was strange, indeed strange. You must know that since the incident happened six years ago, Lin Shu had never stepped into the Lin family's doorstep for six years. Even on the first day of the new year, Lin Shu Tong Hai and Xu Huilan both came, and Lin Shu also stayed at his grandpa and grandma's house. He didn't even call the old man! Everyone in the family knew that Lin Shu had a grudge against the old man. After all, Lin Shu himself said back then that he would never step foot into the Lin family in the future. At that time, they thought it was an angry word. How could the two of them really be together? What hatred? ! Unexpectedly, Lin Shu never returned home for six years.
Why are you willing to come back this year?
Come back as soon as you come back. What does it mean to wear military uniform? !
The second uncle with whom he had been close friends since childhood pulled Lin Shu aside out of curiosity and asked: "Eldest nephew, why do you think you are here in military uniform?"
Although other relatives were also chatting with each other, they all looked over curiously after hearing Lin Tongheng's words.
Lin Shu replied casually: "I'm afraid someone will break my leg again, so I'll wear an amulet to be safer!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Suddenly, the expressions of many people in the entire living room changed visibly. They never expected that Lin Shu would say such a thing. Fortunately, the old man was resting upstairs. Otherwise, the scene would have turned cold instantly. Come down!
Some elders subconsciously wanted to say something to Lin Shu, asking him not to come with anger. But for some reason, Lin Shu seemed to have an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made their words come to their lips, but they couldn't say them out.
Why has Lin Shu's aura changed so much in the past two years?
It has become a bit strange to them, and they dare not treat it as a junior.
When the second uncle heard this, he suddenly became embarrassed and laughed dryly, "Are you still angry with your grandpa? It's not like that, a man, you only have this much magnanimity? It's been six years, and your grandpa has long realized that he Wrong, it's almost done! Your grandpa's health has not been as good as before in the past two years. Don't make him angry anymore. Give your second uncle some face and don't get too angry later! "
Lin Shu smiled noncommittally and said, "Look at what you said, second uncle. I'm too lazy to vent my anger on him. Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Ah That's good."
Lin Shu’s grandfather and grandma are old after all, and are resting upstairs at the moment. They are not in a hurry to disturb them. After Lin Shu paid New Year’s greetings to these elders one by one, everyone chatted about home affairs.
Lin Shu had nothing to say to these elders. After all, he hadn't seen each other in six years, and he didn't move around very much. He was also unfamiliar with close relationships. He had the proper etiquette, but he was too lazy to chat with them. As for those He had no contact with his younger brother and sister, so he simply went to sit on the stone bench in the yard and flirted with Long Xiaoyun on his mobile phone.
The winter in Beijing is very cold, there is still snow in the yard, and the cold wind hits the body like a knife, and ordinary people will easily suffer from cold and sore throats. But for Lin Shu, it was nothing. Grandmaster Huajin's physique prevented him from feeling cold even if he wore thin regular clothes.
"elder brother!"
While Lin Shu was chatting with Long Xiaoyun on WeChat, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Lin Xiaoxiao walking towards him.
Lin Shu smiled and said, "It's Xiaoxiao! What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxiao asked: "It's so cold, why don't you go back to the house?"
"The elders are smoking. The room is filled with smoke. I feel uncomfortable smelling it. Come out for some air. Do you have a problem with me?" Lin Shu casually made an excuse.
Lin Xiaoxiao also knew that Lin Shu had nothing to say to the elders, but she still nodded along with him and said: "Well, I also think the smell of cigarette smoke is a bit strong. I will come out for a while and I just want to ask you something."
"Is it about He Chenguang?" Lin Shu smiled and guessed what she wanted to ask him.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly, "Ah, yes..."
Lin Shu said: "It's very windy here, let's go and chat in the pavilion." As he said that, he pointed to the pavilion built in the corner of the yard. This is where Lin Weiguo and his grandmother usually read newspapers and drink tea.
After walking into the pavilion with Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Shu selected some content that did not involve confidentiality regulations, told her some about He Chenguang's current situation, and told her that because he was busy with training this year, He Chenguang could not spare the time to come back for the New Year. , although Lin Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, she still expressed understanding, but she felt a little confused again.
"Brother, there is something. I am a little confused now. Can you... help me analyze it and give me some suggestions?" Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said.
In fact, she would not have said this to Lin Shu before. As mentioned before, the relationship between the two is not really close.
But I don’t know if it’s because of Chen Guang’s relationship. Lin Xiaoxiao actually admires this cousin now. He is already a major at the age of only 22, and I heard from the elders in the family that he is very powerful in the military camp. So she subconsciously thought that this cousin could give her some advice.
Lin Shu nodded and said, "You say it."
Lin Xiaoxiao hummed, worded it wrong, and said with some distress:
"Actually, it's about Chen Guang. We've known each other since we were young and have been talking for several years. As you know, brother, I have always been opposed to Chen Guang's joining the army. Later, I saw that he was really I want to be a soldier, so I just go with the flow. But...what do you think we will do in the future? Do I really want to be a military wife?"
Lin Shu pondered: "This question actually depends on whether you want to live that kind of life."
"I...can't tell." Lin Xiaoxiao sighed: "I like him very much, and I can't bear to be separated from him, but when I think about it taking a long time to see him again, I feel a little sad."
Lin Shu looked at her and did not answer the question directly, but suddenly asked: "Are there many people chasing you recently?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was suddenly shocked, "Brother, how do you know?"
"It's not surprising! You are so beautiful. You must be very popular in college. Many people know that your boyfriend is a soldier and will take this as an opportunity. If my prediction is good, you should have a family recently. A young man with good conditions is chasing you, and you can’t stop his attack, so you came to ask me, right?”
Lin Xiaoxiao was extremely shocked when she heard Lin Shu's words. She looked at Lin Shu in surprise and said in disbelief:
"Brother, you...are you installing surveillance on me? Why do I feel like you know everything?"
"Haha, what did you forget about your brother and me?" Lin Shu pointed to her ears and said with a smile: "Givenchy's earrings are still limited edition. The price of this pair is at least thirty to forty thousand. ? You definitely didn’t buy it yourself. He Chenguang couldn’t afford it as a gift to you, so it must have been given to you by your suitor, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao touched her ears subconsciously, and nodded with a bit of embarrassment on her pretty face. She was afraid that her cousin would think she was a vain woman, so she quickly added:
“Brother, it’s true that this was a gift from the senior who chased me, but...I gave him a similar gift afterwards, mainly because I really like this pair of earrings and they can’t be bought outside.”
"You don't need to explain to me, I know your quality." Lin Shu said calmly: "To put it harshly, considering your background, it is unrealistic to impress you with money. But as you said, these earrings It’s not easy to buy. It’s obvious that your suitor is very considerate, so I’m not surprised that you are tempted.”
Lin Xiaoxiao said apologetically: "But I always feel that this... doesn't seem good."
Her boyfriend is serving in the army. She accepted a gift from another man and even returned the gift. She was even a little moved. This is a bit too scumbag!
Lin Shu glanced at her and said, "Be more confident and remove the word 'seems', it's just not good!"
