Chapter 122

~7 min read 1,214 words

As for houses, Lin Yi actually had quite a few ideas in his heart.

It was just that he was entangled in many things now, and he really didn't have time to go look at houses.

When the time came, he had already decided to bring his hardworking parents to Shanghai,

so that in their old age, they could also enjoy the prosperity of Shanghai.

Thinking of his parents, Lin Yi couldn't help but make a phone call home.

Because it was around six o'clock in the evening.

In the mountains of Guizhou Province, they would go home to eat after finishing work.

At this time, a couple with somewhat aged faces, around fifty years old, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen were eating.

They were Lin Yi's parents and his younger sister Lin Wan.

Lin Yi's father was named Lin Qiang, and his mother was named Xie Hongxia.

Both were ordinary farmers in the mountains of Guizhou Province, and they hadn't walked out of the mountains more than a few times in their lives.

The most they did was walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to the nearby town.

However, what they were most proud of was raising their university student son, Lin Yi.

However, recently, the old couple had been a bit worried.

It was mainly because their son had been sending money home frequently during this period.

A few thousand at the least, and over ten thousand at the most.

When asked how the son got this money, Lin Yi would always tell them it was earned from doing business.

However, the couple was afraid that their son was doing something illegal.

One must know that in this poor mountain ditch in Guizhou Province, the per capita GDP was only about 2,000 yuan a year.

The Lin family's annual income was only 4,000 yuan.

Equivalent to about 300 yuan a month.

And now, their son was sending money home in chunks of thousands and tens of thousands.

It was no wonder the old couple thought too much.

"Old man, tell me, our child isn't doing anything illegal outside, right!"

Xie Hongxia felt uneasy while eating.

"Shouldn't be, you know our child's character!"

Lin Qiang took a bite of rice.

"But, I heard that the son of Sister Cuihong next door went out to make his way and went bad, dyeing his hair yellow, and even had tattoos!"

Xie Hongxia said worriedly.

"That's different, Damao went to Shenzhen to work, our child went to Shanghai to go to university, he's an educated person, how could he go bad!"

Lin Qiang expressed dissatisfaction with his wife mixing their son with Damao next door.

At this time, Lin Yi's only younger sister, Lin Wan, raised her head:

"Dad, Mom, if you are worried about brother going bad, just call him and ask!"

"Phone bills cost money, and our network signal here is not good, we can't use that WeChat you talk about!"

Lin Qiang said.

"Tch, with that broken phone of yours, it wouldn't work even if there was a network!!"

Lin Wan stuck out her tongue.

"I think it's better to do as brother said and change to a smartphone, didn't brother give you money?"

"What does a little girl like you know, that money is for your brother to take a wife, how can we touch it, besides, what smartphone, I can't use it well either!"

Lin Qiang said.

"Hey!" Lin Wan rolled her eyes and sighed, having nothing more to say.

However, just at this moment, the classic Nokia ringtone rang.

Lin Qiang immediately took out an old-fashioned phone from his pocket.

Seeing that the number was from his son, he hurriedly answered it.

"Hello, is this Xiao Yi?"

"Dad, it's me!"

Lin Yi said with a smile while sitting in the car.

"Why are you calling home at this time, uh, we're eating, everything is fine at home, don't worry about us in Shanghai, and don't send money home anymore, it's enough, it's not easy for you outside, keep more money for yourself...."

Not long after, Lin Yi heard his mother's voice again:

"Son, don't do bad things outside, take good care of yourself...."

"And me, I want to talk to brother...."

A crisp female voice rang out on the phone.

Lin Yi immediately knew it was his younger sister, Lin Wan.

"Xiao Wan, have you been studying hard lately!"

In Lin Yi's old home, Lin Wan said excitedly:

"Mom, brother wants to talk to me, he wants to talk to me..."

Helpless, Lin's mother, who hadn't said much, could only give the phone to her daughter.

Lin Wan smiled and held the phone, chattering away:

"Brother, don't worry, my grades have always been first in the class!"

"Is that so? Then when I come back, I'll have to test you!"

"Then when are you coming back..."

"Uh, for the New Year!" Lin Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Then... brother, will you bring a girlfriend back? Mom is always worried that you can't find a girlfriend!"

Lin Wan asked.

Lin Yi glanced at Han Yajing, who was sitting next to him pretending not to hear but pricking up her ears, and smiled slightly:

"This year, brother will definitely make Mom take back those words and bring a girlfriend who looks like a movie star home!"

Immediately, Lin Wan on the other side of the phone happily said to her mother:

"Mom, brother said he'll bring a girlfriend as beautiful as a movie star for the New Year, so you'll take back what you said about him not being able to find a girlfriend!"

"If he has the ability, let him bring her home, and I'll take it back immediately!"

Xie Hongxia said without caring.

"Brother, Mom said, if you bring a girlfriend back, she'll take back what she said!"

Lin Wan relayed.

"Then it's a deal!"

Lin Yi laughed.

Then, he chatted with his parents for a while, telling them to take care of their health, eat more good food, and not be afraid to spend money.

About twenty minutes later, the call was hung up amidst Lin Wan's reluctance.

Lin Yi looked at Han Yajing, who was beside him with her big watery eyes wide open, and said with a smile:

"Did you hear that? My mom is always worried that I can't find a girlfriend!"

"That... what does that have to do with me!" Han Yajing turned her head away with a blushing face and said softly.

"Hey, so Han Meiren doesn't want to accompany me to live a hard life in the mountains, it looks like I was being sentimental, I can only take someone else home, should it be Xiao Jing or Xiao Yu!" Lin Yi sighed.

When Han Yajing heard this, she immediately became excited:

"Xiao Jing, who is Xiao Yu!!"

"Haha!" Seeing her reaction, Lin Yi immediately laughed.

This made Han Meiren's face burn with embarrassment.

"You bully me, I'm ignoring you, you big bad guy!"

Han Yajing blushed.

"Then is Xiao Jing willing to go to the mountains and enjoy the scenery of nature!"

Lin Yi asked.

"Hmph, that depends on someone's actual actions!" ===== CHAPTER 123 =====

"Hmph, then we'll just have to see someone's actual actions!"
