Chapter 10 Happy Birthday
Lin Mochen was silent for a moment, "My name is Lin Mochen, and I am your brother-in-law."
The little boy stared at Lin Mochen, looked him up and down, and slammed the door hard, "Mom! Mom! Open the door! The legendary brother-in-law is here!"
"Oh! Are you Xiao Yu's husband?"
He Guifang was holding a spatula and staring straight at Lin Mochen, her eyes were exactly the same as those of a little boy.
Lin Mochen was stunned. He didn't expect that Aunt Meng would have aged so much in just ten years. He nodded slowly.
"Auntie, let me return the thermos bucket."
He Guifang raised her hand and wiped it on her body, then took the thermos bucket.
"Oh! OK, OK! Please come in."
In my memory, Aunt Meng was a very gentle person who paid attention to the quality of life.
He can draw, play the piano, and dance. He tells lively and interesting stories and speaks softly, making people feel like spring breeze.
At that time, there were many paintings hanging on the walls of the Xu family, mostly painted by Xu’s mother. What impressed him most was that the sheets and quilts in the Xu family were always the same set, and even the tablecloth on the bedside table was the same as the bedding. Same color.
When Xu Jiayu was a child, his clothes were smooth and neat without any creases, and his white shoes were always clean.
No matter how messy he and Xu Jiayu left the toys, as long as Aunt Meng came back, they would be neatly tidied up again in a short time.
But the Aunt Meng in front of her seemed different from what she remembered. He has become darker and older, but his hairstyle is exactly the same as before.
In the living room in front of me, children's toys, books, and snack bags are placed randomly. The floor has not been cleaned for a long time. There is a pile of clothes piled high on the sofa. The piano in my memory squats lonely in the corner with a layer of dust on it. Amidst the thick gray, only the kitchen looks open and clean.
In the small bedroom where Xu Jiayu lived, the messy bed could be vaguely seen. The little boy climbed onto the bed without taking off his shoes.
The door of the master bedroom was open, and the door handle of the other bedroom was empty. There were several old-fashioned locks on it. It looked like it was not used often.
So which room does Xu Jiayu live in?
Lin Mochen's eyes fell on the study door.
"Oops! Xiaolin, please sit down! Auntie will give you a glass of water. I heard that you work in the No. 1 Hospital of the City? How much salary can your doctor pay per month?"
He Guifang hurried into the kitchen carrying a spatula. Before Lin Mochen sat down, she ran back with a spatula and took a used cup from the coffee table, "Oh! Xiao Lin, don't just stand there! Where is Jiayu?" ? I didn’t know you were coming and didn’t prepare your meals.”
Xu Jiayu didn't come back?
"Auntie! Don't bother! Xiaoyu asked me to return the thermos bucket. She cooked the food, and I went back to eat."
Lin Mochen immediately said goodbye.
"Okay, okay! Then you go back first, the house is not tidied up, and next time you two come back together, auntie will prepare a delicious treat for you!"
Lin Mochen was completely relieved when he came out of Xu's house. It wasn't the little boy named Sister Xu Jiayu. He really couldn't believe that the Xu family would become like this.
He rubbed his eyebrows. Just because he had one more child, his quality of life had dropped so much?
"Gululu."
His stomach rumbled and his internal organs protested. Lin Mochen pressed the down button and prepared to go to the convenience store to buy a sandwich.
The night was getting darker and darker. Lin Mochen thought for a while and dialed Xu Jiayu's phone. The other person still received a cold automatic reply.
It seemed that the girl had been talking to someone on the phone after she left. She must have been a best friend or something like that. He put away his phone and walked to the convenience store.
"Hello, are there no more sandwiches?"
Lin Mochen rummaged through the freezer, but there was no sandwich.
The salesperson raised his head and glanced, "Sorry, the sandwich restock hasn't arrived yet. How about trying chicken chop rice? It's a new product just launched today."
"No, I'll go look elsewhere."
He spends almost every afternoon in the outpatient department with sandwiches. It is convenient and convenient, and he can eat while seeing cases. This is a good choice for him with a busy work schedule.
Lin Mochen is used to it.
There was a convenience store one kilometer away from Changqingcheng community. He checked the time and thought it was time to exercise.
"Hello, welcome." Lin Mochen walked straight to the freezer. The sandwiches were neatly arranged and had just the taste he liked. The moment he reached out to pick up the sandwiches, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
【Hello? Hello Uncle Qin! 】
【real? Thank you so much, Uncle Qin. I will be there on time tomorrow. 】
The woman's voice was smiling, and her fingers were rubbing back and forth along the rim of the coffee cup.
Suddenly she was slightly startled, "Thank you, Uncle Qin, I didn't expect you to still remember it, even I forgot about it." 】
After hanging up the phone, the woman looked motionless at the coffee cup in front of her, her expression a little more lonely,
After a long time, she suddenly straightened her back and raised her coffee cup towards the glass window.
"Happy birthday! Xu Jiayu."
The voice was very soft, but Lin Mochen heard it very clearly.
For a moment, the memory that had been buried deep in my heart for a long time seemed to be suddenly opened.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The little boy in the memory intertwined his fingers and made a pious wish with his eyes closed.
"Lin Mochen! Hurry up! I'm still waiting to eat the birthday cake!"
"Nanny, today is Xiaochen's birthday, please be patient."
Xiao Lin Mo Chen opened his eyes and saw Xiao Xu Jiayu staring at him, with a round and rosy face, like a delicious red apple.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Meng, I made a wish."
Xu Boyuan chuckled, "Okay, okay! Then blow out the candles quickly! After blowing out the candles, your wish will come true."
Aunt Meng also laughed and put plates in front of everyone while laughing.
Xiao Lin Mochen nodded. At this moment, Xiao Xu Jiayu suddenly came forward and blew out all the candles at once, "Haha! The candles are extinguished. Lin Mochen, your wish will not come true! La la la la!"
Xiao Xu Jiayu was so proud that he even made a face at Xiao Lin Mochen.
He vaguely remembered that it was the first year that he and his parents moved to H City. On his birthday, his parents had already ordered a birthday cake, but they were called back to the hospital for a temporary operation.
Before their parents left, they sent Xiaolin Mochen to Xu Jiayu's house downstairs.
He spent his seventh birthday crying.
He hoped that his parents would not be doctors. This was his wish when he was seven years old.
Didn't happen.
“Is the coffee in the convenience store delicious?”
Xu Jiayu looked up and saw a familiar figure reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window. The man stood behind her, covering her whole body.
It's Lin Mochen.
"Isn't Dr. Lin the same?"
Xu Jiayu saw the sandwich in Lin Mochen's hand, not to be outdone, and replied with a smile.
Lin Mochen raised his eyebrows and sat down next to her, "Should I say it or not, the way you looked at wishing yourself a happy birthday in front of the glass just now was so pitiful."
"I only remembered it when someone else mentioned it, just by the way."
"That would be even more pitiful."
Xu Jiayu choked on Lin Mochen's words, his nose was sore, but he still pursed his lips and forced a smile.
"I want you to take care of it!"
