Volume 1 The Long Night Will Dawn Chapter 80 Family
Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh.
He said gently, "Then I'll give you the gift, and you'll forgive my brother, okay?"
Lin Tangtang responded crisply.
"Then let's go home first."
Lin Yan held Lin Tangtang in one hand and picked up all the things with the other hand, then walked into the residential building and went up the narrow stairs. The little yellow dog ran very fast with its tail wagging. It was used to climbing stairs, and it would wait for them on the stairs after running for a while, and sometimes it would run down and come back to circle around his feet.
Naturally, there will be no elevators in such low-rent housing communities.
The defense system of the base city against the invasion of bird monsters is powered by electricity, so the power supply is very tight and their electricity usage is limited.
Their home was fine, on the 12th floor, not too high. Lin Yan didn't walk fast, and the little girl fell asleep in his arms in a short while, but her little hand was still tightly clutching his sleeve.
Lin Yan looked at her sleeping face, the tears on her face had not yet dried.
There is a warm feeling in my heart.
He stood in front of his house, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.
Snap——
After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged woman in an apron stuck her head out: "Who is it?"
The woman said in surprise: "Xiao Yan, you're back!"
She opened the door and took off the rubber gloves on her hands: "Why didn't you tell us you were back!"
"I'll ask your dad to buy some groceries when he comes back."
She hurried to call his father.
Lin Yan closed the door, put the things by the door, walked into the room, took off the shoes of the sleeping Lin Tangtang, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her belly with the corner of the quilt.
Then he looked at the small house in his memory where a family of four had lived for so many years.
It was only about 30 square meters in total, with a one-bedroom and one-living room structure. There were not many electrical appliances or furniture, except for one bed, where his parents and Tangtang slept, but the bed was not big and was actually very crowded.
He usually lives in the school dormitory, and when he goes home he sleeps on the shabby sofa in the living room.
Most people in the base city live like this. Their family is actually not bad. Their parents are very hardworking, their children are obedient, and Tangtang is very smart. Even though she is very young, she can take care of herself, so life is pretty good.
Some families really have no way to make a living.
Like Chen Lian, his mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to him. People's physical fitness nowadays is much stronger than that of ordinary people before the Nirvana period. Difficult labor is nothing more than a result of poor conditions and insufficient nutrition.
His father was a gambler and his grandfather raised him by picking up scraps. Such pain is something that outsiders cannot understand.
But there is no way, really no way.
Even this little peace is achieved with blood and sacrifice. Everyone knows that the treatment given to warriors is also buying their lives. But everyone still hopes to become a warrior, not only because it is a ladder to privilege, but also because the lives of the weak are worthless.
His mother Qiu Baihui walked into the room lightly, looked at Lin Tangtang on the bed, and then motioned Lin Yan to go to the living room to talk.
"Is Tangtang crying?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Yeah, she cried so hard."
"She has been wondering when you would come home. You, too, kid. Didn't you say that the military training was only two months? How come you only came back now, even though school has been open for several days? I heard that there was another beast tide in the past two months, and we couldn't contact you. We were so worried about you."
Qiu Baihui's eyes were red: "If I had known earlier, I would not have agreed to let you go to the army during the summer vacation. What would we do if you also went to the battlefield and didn't come back..."
Lin Yan looked at the woman in front of him. She was only 39 years old this year, but deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. She was not tall, and it could be seen that she must have been pretty when she was young, and her children were all very handsome, but now there was not much left of her.
He just felt his heart choking and his throat was a little dry: "I'm back now, right? There are rules in the army, so I didn't contact you before and made you worried."
Of course he could contact her, and even if the beast tide incident was over, no one would stop him if he wanted to come back.
It's just that he hasn't figured out how to face them.
But now I feel a little regretful.
Why bother with these things?
They are all good people. He has the responsibility and obligation to let them live a good life. He hopes that they can be happy and live happily.
But it’s not too late now, not at all.
…
Little Lin Tangtang stared with wide eyes at the dancing robotic kitten on the ground with flashing lights, an expression of amazement on his face.
The little yellow dog didn't realize the importance of the problem at first.
It's quite novel to circle around Doraemon.
Slowly, it found itself...out of favor!
It was wagging its tail and wandering around little Lin Tangtang as usual, but Lin Tangtang's big eyes were fixed on Doraemon , developing new ways to play with it, and he didn't even look at it.
There were sounds of surprise coming out of his mouth.
The little yellow dog's tail wagged slower and slower, and finally hung down to the ground.
It gave Lin Yan a "resentful" look, then returned to its nest dejectedly. Despite its young age, it was carrying pressure that was not appropriate for its age.
Lin Yan smiled, took out a sealed bag of refined dog food from his backpack, and went to its nest: "I haven't forgotten you. Come, I'll give you something delicious. I bought the most expensive one."
The little yellow dog immediately stood up, stuck out its tongue and panted, then leaned forward and stared at the dog food in Lin Yan's hand. It looked like it wanted to snatch it and open the package.
Little girl Lin Tangtang suddenly put down her Doraemon toy and squatted beside him, watching Lin Yan feeding the little yellow dog. Ah Huang was eating happily, so she asked crisply, "Can I have this?"
Snapped!
Lin Yan patted her head gently.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Tangtang's face puffed up, she moved her feet and turned away: "Humph!"
"Bad brother!"
I'm surrounded by sperm!
When Lin Yan saw her appearance, the first thing he thought of was another girl who liked to hum.
"Can I take you to buy it after dinner?"
Lin Tangtang kissed him on the face and said happily, "Good brother, keep your word!"
After saying that, she ran off to play with her new toys.
At this moment, the key turned and the door opened.
A middle-aged man who looked quite scholarly walked in, holding two plastic bags in his hands. He smiled at Lin Yan and asked, "Are you back?"
The sound is very soft.
Lin Yan nodded. This was his father, Lin Yuanhe.
"I'm glad you're back."
The man's emotional expression was very reserved, and he only said these two sentences.
Lin Yuanhe took the vegetables in the plastic bag and prepared dinner with Qiu Baihui.
After the meal was ready, the family sat around the foldable and retractable dining table. Lin Tangtang looked at the sumptuous dinner with bright eyes.
Two little feet dangled under the dining table.
Lin Yan took out the gift he had prepared.
"Mom, this is the gift I prepared for you when I came back today."
Inside the beautifully packaged box was a crystal hairpin, which he bought for two hundred thousand yuan.
Qiu Baihui was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to take it, she felt her hands were greasy: "Wait, I'll go wash my hands."
After washing for a long time, he came back and said, "Kid, what gift did you prepare for me? It will cost a lot of money."
She sounded somewhat distressed.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Open it and see if you like it."
When Qiu Baihui heard this, she thought that since they were all family members, it would be okay to open it directly, so she carefully opened the box.
Little Lin Tangtang looked at the crystal hairpin inside and exclaimed.
"looks great!"
Qiu Baihui sniffed with emotion, closed the box again, looked at Lin Yan and said, "I like it very much."
Then he walked to the cabinet and put the things away carefully.
She was just an ordinary woman and didn't know how much this thing cost. She thought that such a beautiful piece of jewelry would at least cost several thousand yuan. She thought about asking Lin Yan to return it, as she had no use for such beautiful jewelry. But she also felt that it was a gift from her son and was reluctant to part with it.
"Dad, this is something my army leader asked me to bring back for you."
Lin Yan handed the gift box containing the pen to Lin Yuanhe.
Lin Yuanhe was a little confused. Why did the head of the army give gifts to the soldier's father?
He opened it curiously, took out the pen inside, and saw a column of small words on it.
Lin Yuanhe opened his eyes wide: "This is..."
Lin Yan said: "It's just a souvenir."
He then took out his cigarettes and alcohol, including two packs of yellow-wrapped cigarettes and two bottles of wine. Lin Yuanhe didn't have any other hobbies, but he was indeed a heavy smoker. He could control himself at school, but when he got home he would smoke one cigarette after another.
I smoked the cheapest cigarettes in the store.
He recognized the cigarettes and alcohol; he had seen them on the Internet, but they were not available .
But it is specially supplied.
Lin Yuanhe was shocked and asked, "Lin Yan, who is the leader you are talking about?"
