Lin Yu and Qiao Feng left the cemetery and walked along the road, their steps appearing somewhat heavy.
Lin Yu sighed: "He really is a heartless person."
Qiao Feng sneered: "Isn't that how he always is?"
Even when his grandparents passed away, Qiao Dehan wasn't particularly saddened, so don't expect him to still care about them.
He lived in Haicheng, and it only took him an hour to get there from the Qiao family.
But Jodhan never came.
Although it seemed absurd, Lin Yu and Qiao Feng were not surprised.
This person has always been like this, from childhood to adulthood.
He only cares about himself; his parents and children are insignificant to him.
This is why Grandpa and Grandma Qiao left everything to their son and sister.
Because they had already given up on this son.
"Brother, I will come back every year from now on."
Qiao Feng nodded: "If I have time, I will come back."
Grandpa, Grandma, and them.
Back home, neither of them felt like eating, so Lin Yu simply made two bowls of noodles.
This was the first time they had cooked together since arriving in Haicheng.
Although it was just ordinary noodles, it was a taste that Qiao Feng hadn't had in a long time.
"It's been so long since I've had your cooking. It's still so delicious."
Qiao Feng gave his sister a thumbs up.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's just a bowl of noodles. I'll cook something nice in a couple of days, and you can invite your friends over to eat. Consider it a housewarming party for us."
Qiao Feng nodded: "Okay, after we leave, tell them to come and take a look at the house when they have time."
Although I don't live in the house in Haicheng often, it still needs to be taken care of.
Since neither of them is here, the best course of action is to find someone to help.
Lin Yu nodded: "We need to pay them. We'll discuss it later."
"besides......"
The two discussed all aspects of life, and gradually their mood improved.
Ultimately, they are still each other's family and will continue to support each other.
......
On the fourth day in Haicheng, Lin Yu went out alone again.
The factory had already closed for the day, and Lin Yu went to Tao Xinxin's house to knock on the door again.
This time, someone came to open the door very quickly.
By the dim light of the streetlamp, Lin Yu saw that the person who came was a woman with a braid and wearing work clothes.
Although the face had changed somewhat, one could still discern its former appearance.
"Xin Xin, it's me."
Tao Xinxin saw who it was and exclaimed in surprise, "Qiao Yu! Is that you?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "My name is Lin Yu now."
Tao Xinxin happily pulled her inside: "I don't care what your surname is, you're my Xiaoyu anyway."
Lin Yu followed her lead and walked in together.
There was a man sitting on the sofa, holding a child in his arms.
Tao Xinxin didn't want to embarrass Lin Yu, and directly introduced them: "This is my husband Zhang Hongfei, and this is my son, whose nickname is Tao Tao."
Then he said to Zhang Hongfei, "This is Qiao Yu, my good friend, but she's called Lin Yu now."
Zhang Hongfei clearly knew Lin Yu, and shook hands with her, saying, "I've heard about you before, welcome to our home."
Lin Yu exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then looked at the child in his arms.
Can I hug you?
Zhang Hongfei: "Of course."
He handed the chubby boy to Lin Yu, saying, "This kid is very naughty."
Lin Yu held the chubby little boy in her arms, and felt a little fond of his chubby face.
"Hello, Tao Tao."
Tao Tao looked at her with his dark, grape-like eyes, grinned, and pounced on her to give her a kiss.
Tao Xinxin and Zhang Hongfei were dumbfounded: "What, what's wrong with this child?"
Tao Xinxin said embarrassedly, "Really, this child isn't usually like this."
Lin Yu waved her hand dismissively and said, "Tao Tao likes me, doesn't he?"
Tao Tao seemed to understand and nodded, "Mm."
Lin Yu patted his little head: "Tao Xinxin, your child is already so big."
Tao Xinxin said with a smile, "He was three years old, born the second year after you left."
People in this era get married and have children very quickly.
When Lin Yu left, Tao Xinxin was 18 years old. Not long after, she was introduced to Zhang Hongfei.
The two quickly got married.
A year later, Tao Tao was born.
Lin Yu clicked her tongue in amazement: "That's so fast! If I come back in a few years, your child will already be in elementary school."
Tao Xinxin: "You're one to talk! You've been out of touch for the past four years. I couldn't even notify you when I got married."
Lin Yu sighed: "You know perfectly well how I had no way to contact you back then."
She had just left then and wasn't very familiar with the countryside yet.
In addition, she didn't want the Qiao family to know her whereabouts, so it was naturally difficult for her to contact her friends.
Tao Xinxin said understandingly, "I understand. I'm already very happy that you still came to see me."
A couple of days ago, I heard from my neighbor, Aunt Jiang, that you came looking for me, but you didn't come back after two days. I thought we had missed each other.
Lin Yu patted her hand: "Of course I'll come to see you when I get back, but I had something to do the past two days so I couldn't come. I was thinking of inviting you to come and see our new house."
Tao Xinxin asked curiously, "What new house?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's a small villa, given to me by my grandparents. My brother and I live there now. Come over for dinner tomorrow."
Tao Xinxin: "Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao are so kind to you."
"Why are there only you and your brother here? Are you married?"
This sounds like a small family.
Lin Yu shook her head and told him about her recent situation.
Tao Xinxin shook her head: "Although I don't quite understand, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
The biggest reason why Tao Xinxin was able to become friends with Lin Yu is that she has a very tolerant personality.
She never makes forceful demands or orders to others, nor does she ramble on about useless things.
She's always the one cheering and waving the flag whenever Lin Yu does something.
Lin Yu felt that only someone as assertive as herself could become friends with someone with Tao Xinxin's personality.
Zhang Hongfei listened to their conversation from the side without interrupting.
Lin Yu observed coldly, thinking that this man was actually quite considerate.
"I haven't asked yet, what does Comrade Zhang do for a living?"
Zhang Hongfei pushed up his glasses: "I work at the Materials Bureau, and Director Luo next door is my direct supervisor."
At this point, he asked, "Does Comrade Lin know Director Luo?"
Lin Yu nodded, and since there was nothing to hide, she told them how they met.
Tao Xinxin looked at her with starry eyes: "You're really capable, you can even catch thieves!"
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Who told him to steal from me?"
She's not a police officer; if thieves don't come to her, she won't catch them.
Tao Xinxin has always been a big fan of Lin Yu: "You're amazing. You've been strong since you were little, and you're so good at catching thieves too."
"And another thing, I knew I wasn't mistaken, Sister Jiang and Director Luo next door have a really good relationship."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "What? Did someone say they weren't good people?"
