Chapter 16: A Big Deal

Lin Shengnan turned her head to reveal a far-fetched smile and said, “No need, I’m good to deal with, when we were doing extreme survival training in the wilderness, not to mention hotels, we didn’t even necessarily live in caves.”

Then he added to Lin Yuan and Lan Lin, “Dad, mom, I’m a bit tired today, so I won’t be accompanying you, and I’ll come back to see you when I’ve settled down.”

After that, he walked away without looking back.

Lanlin yelled behind her, “Shengnan, I’ll have Old Qin give you a ride!”

“It’s not necessary!”

Lin Shengnan threw over a sentence from afar.

Lin Yuan had an angry look on his face, “See, with this temper, I doubt that she would offend all the bureau leaders if she were to enter the city bureau, it seems that there is still a lack of refinement.”

It was only at this time that Lin Tianyang swallowed that one sea cucumber and carefully said, “Dad, Mom, Big Sister, Second Sister, and Fourth Sister aren’t angry because of me.”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

The four said in unison.

At five o’clock the next morning, Lin You poked his head out from under the covers, carefully lifted the covers, put his clothes back on, and had just walked to the bathroom to prepare to wash up when he heard a soft cough.

Genji was already standing in the doorway waiting for himself.

“Master, you’re not well, why don’t you sleep more?” Lin You’s tone carried a reproach.

Xuan test rustling from the monk’s robe pulled out a cloth package, open the package, revealing a large stack of RMB inside, grabbing the eye, there are four or five thousand.

There are whole and zeroes, obviously accumulated over time.

Xuan Test handed the money in his hand to Lin You and said in a low voice, “You’er, this is the money that Master saved from going out to deliver takeaways some time ago, take it and use it first, if you want to eat something, buy it. There are still a few months to go before the college entrance exam, don’t starve yourself.”

Lin You’s heart was touched for a moment, pushed Xuan Cai’s hand away and said, “Master, I don’t want your money. I have money, I have grown up, I will earn my own money, this money is better to keep for you, in case there is an emergency, can also respond to the emergency.”

“You have money? Are you still going to walk over to school today? Although the teacher is not capable of much, but his own son is still able to feed, let you take it, and when you earn money, then give me old age.”

Lin You heard the tears almost fall from his eyes, and could only take the money in Xuan Zhi’s hand and carefully put it in his close pocket.

Xuanzai was just under fifty, but with years of bad health and exertion, he looked sixty.

Seeing Lin You collected his own money, the muscles on his face unfolded, full of smiles, patted Lin You’s shoulder and said, “You’re a child, don’t worry, the Lin family doesn’t want you, I can afford to feed you.”

When he finished, he turned and walked away, light on his feet.

Lin You touched the money on his chest, and secretly resolved in his heart that he must live up to his personal style and give the old monk a long face.

After washing up, Lin You walked to the kitchen, uncovered the lid of the pot, the pot had already simmered steaming millet porridge, white flour steamed buns, and the dumplings left over from last night’s meal, which had been fried to a golden brown color by Xuan Test in oil.

Just sat down to eat breakfast, Jue Ming and Jue Hui appeared in the doorway, the two sleepy eyes, Jue Ming yawning while pulling out a stack of money from his pocket, probably about one or two thousand dollars, handing it to Lin You, “Brother, this is the money I earned while going to school and doing odd jobs, you take it and use it first, it’s not enough I still have it, don’t starve yourself.”

Juehui also took out a wad of money from his body, just about to speak, Lin You hurriedly stopped: “What are you doing? Relief for the five-guaranteed households? Am I so unhelpful?”

“Hurry up and put the money away, or I’m going to be angry, don’t force me to ……” Lin You’s eyes were clouded with a layer of dense, suddenly laughed: “Don’t force me to take it.”

Jie Ming and Jie Hui saw Lin You get angry, originally they were both a bit timid, suddenly they saw Lin You smile, and all of a sudden they relaxed, hurriedly put the money on the table, then turned around and flew away.

Lin You glanced at the money on the table, there were also whole and zero, it was a pile of money with a story, each bill was stained with the blood and sweat of his brother and sister.

Lin You naturally wouldn’t use their money, he wouldn’t even use Xuan Test’s money.

Are you kidding? How can you carry the risk of such a big family without some money?

Lin You collected the money and put it together with Xuan Cai’s money, only taking out one hundred dollars as the traveling expenses, then the rest, all of it, put it under Xuan Cai’s pillow again, then picked up his school bag and walked out of Ding Hui Temple.

It was almost six o’clock, and life was full of promise against the slightly warm sunrise.

Almost to the entrance of the school, face to face hurriedly came a fat man, fat man height of one meter eight, weight one hundred kilograms plus, is running all the way wildly, a fat face, full of sweat, inch head is still smoking hot air.

The students along the way, seeing this fat man, as if he were a tank, all hid far away, only Lin You did not hide.

The fat man he knew, was his classmate, or a fellow student.

According to the homeroom teacher, a fat person has to ride on a thin person so that the seats are not crowded.

The two men are generally friendly, this fat man used to be his own young proprietor, he is the son of the owner of the Four Seas Restaurant, the Four Seas Restaurant specializes in seafood, the dishes face the middle class, business is very good.

Lin You did not have enough tuition, and once went to the Four Seas Restaurant to wash dishes and waiter, so, and the fat man crossed paths more.

The fat man’s name is Zhang Xi, and he is the opposite of Lin You, who considers himself to be on average terms with Zhang Xi, but Zhang Xi treats Lin You as if he is his own iron porcelain.

It wasn’t that Lin You didn’t want to make friends with Zhang Xi, but Lin You was too poor.

When people are poor to a certain extent, they must reduce all useless socializing, all parties that cost money, gatherings, Lin You do not participate in any of them. Not just for Zhang Xi, but for all the students in the class, equally.

Zhang Xi ran furiously all the way to Lin You, gasping for breath, “You run really fast, I’m chasing all the way, but I didn’t catch up, why didn’t you come to class yesterday?”

“Something happened at home.” Lin You said faintly, “You have something?”

It’s quite a rejection.

“It’s like this, tomorrow my family’s restaurant, took over a few wedding banquets, more busy, seriously lack of manpower.” Fatty breath a little fixed, said: “You are not in my home played the odd jobs? Well, I mean, tomorrow you go to help a little.”

“The old man was only going to give you three hundred dollars, I told him, three hundred dollars, too cheap. I guess I’ll be busy until ten o’clock at night, starting at five o’clock, this amount of money is fine for treating other people, but for my classmates, no.”

Zhang Xi’s face is big, once a person’s face is big, it looks like small features, small eyes, small mouth, small nose.

Zhang Xi’s small eyes rolled and his eyebrows raised with a smug expression, “Do you know how much money brother I asked for for you?”

Lin You shook his head.

“You guess?”

Lin You didn’t want to waste time and shook his head, “I’m not available tomorrow, I’ve fallen behind in too many classes and have to make up for it.”

“You’d better get serious too, there’s still three months to go before the college entrance exam.”

Fatty’s grades perennially dominated the last one or two places, and with another male student in the class, there was frequent friction in the fight for second last.

The fat man ignored the coldness in Lin You’s tone and said triumphantly, “One thousand dollars!”

“I asked for a thousand dollars for you, brother enough.”

Lin You froze, five hours a thousand dollars, this job is worth doing, just when Lin You was ready to agree, suddenly a sharp pain in the head, this pain comes and goes quickly, just a few seconds.

Lin You shook his head and suddenly remembered something big.
