All I can say is, it’s been a long time.
Having not slept well for several days, Hu Lin fell asleep the moment he touched the bed.
Hu Jun, who was going to help in the kitchen, was asked by his master's wife to bring some washed apples and bananas to Hu Lin to taste.
Hu Jun thought Hu Lin should not have gone to bed yet, so he carried it upstairs.
The teacher and his wife put a lot of thought into Hu Lin's arrival.
Apples and bananas were only sold at the Friendship Store, and you needed foreign exchange coupons.
As far as he knew, the unit where his teacher and his wife worked only issued two or three foreign exchange coupons each month.
Hu Jun held the fruit in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.
After waiting for a while and seeing no one responded, Hu Jun knew that Hu Lin was probably asleep.
He was most familiar with the road from home to the capital and knew how tiring it was.
Hu Jun's brows moved slightly, his eyes flickered, his face showed some hesitation, and his hand fell on the door handle.
After hesitating for a long time, he quietly pushed open the door.
Hu Lin was sleeping soundly on the bed in the room with a relaxed look on his face.
Hu Jun walked in quietly and placed the fruit plate on the desk.
She endured this journey for a long time.
Otherwise, how could I sleep so soundly?
The north wind was howling outside the window, blowing the flakes of snow into dance in the wind.
It gets dark early in winter. When Hu Lin woke up again, it was already dark outside the window.
Hu Lin withdrew his gaze, but stopped at a plate of fruit on the desk.
Someone came in while she was sleeping.
Hu Lin narrowed his eyes and felt a little unhappy.
Losing your vigilance is not a good thing.
Hu Lin got out of bed, picked up an apple, and saw some water stains on the bottom of the plate. He knew that the apple had been washed. He took a bite and went downstairs.
It has been a long time since she last had fruit.
In the living room downstairs, Hu Jun's teacher had already returned. The three of them were talking and laughing in the living room, and bringing the food to the table.
The three heard the noise and looked towards the stairs, where they saw Hu Lin coming down in slippers, holding an apple with a few bites taken from it in one hand.
"You woke up at the right time. Junzi, take your sister to the kitchen to wash hands and have dinner." Mrs. Hu Jun said with a smile.
"Hey." Hu Jun responded and took a few steps towards Hu Lin.
After Hu Lin came downstairs, he took him to the kitchen.
Hu Jun watched Hu Lin washing her hands, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to have anything to say.
He knew it was impolite to enter a room after someone fell asleep, but seeing that Hu Lin had no intention of making a fuss about it.
Of course Hu Lin didn't care. She didn't know who sent the fruit, and besides, she only cared about herself.
Hu Lin put the uneaten apple into a bowl and planned to eat it after dinner.
In the living room, on the small square table, Hu Jun's teacher and his wife placed a bottle of orange Arctic Ocean soda in front of each seat.
The two walked over and sat down.
Mrs. Hu Jun called Hu Lin and gave her a chicken leg. "Come and try my cooking."
"Thank you." Hu Lin raised the bowl and took the stewed chicken leg.
There were three vegetarian dishes and a mushroom stewed chicken soup on the table.
Hu Lin took a sip of orange-flavored soda and smiled.
It’s been a long time since I felt this way!
Teacher Hu Jun didn't say much. He greeted Hu Lin for a few words and then focused on talking to Hu Jun, all of which were about professional topics.
Seeing that Hu Jun answered fluently, Hu Lin restrained his expression and concentrated on eating.
Mrs. Hu Jun, seeing that Hu Lin was not a talkative person, first picked up a few pieces of food for Hu Lin and then ate by herself.
After dinner, several people sat on the sofa and talked. Hu Jun's teacher and his wife asked some questions about the road and the situation in Xiaohe Village, and Hu Lin answered them one by one.
It was already dark outside, and the strong wind made the doors and windows rattle. Inside the house, several people were sitting by the charcoal stove and chatting in a harmonious atmosphere.
She also learned that the couple had a son and a daughter. The son was also doing research and the daughter was in a culture troupe, but neither was in Beijing.
Both children have started their own families and only come home once every one or two years. They usually keep in touch through letters.
It was too late today, so the couple let her stay overnight in their daughter's room.
The next day, the wind stopped and the snow stopped.
After breakfast, Hu Jun sent Hu Lin out to find a hotel.
The couple wanted to ask Hu Lin to stay at home for a few more days, but she declined because she thought about her future arrangements.
The two of them left the compound along the same path they came from.
In front, in the parking lot at the entrance, a man got off a jeep.
Hu Lin's eyes were looking forward, and when he saw the person coming down, his gaze froze on that person.
The man's perception was extremely sharp. When Hu Lin's gaze stayed on him for more than two seconds, he noticed it and looked back at him with a pair of sharp eyes.
When the man saw the suspected peeping person, he was also stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Hu Lin put on a faint smile and took a few steps forward to greet him, "What a coincidence."
I never expected to meet Zhou Huaijing here.
Wasn't he on the island? How did he get here?
Zhou Huaijing nodded in response, looked at Hu Lin, then looked at the man next to Hu Lin with sharp inquiry in his eyes.
