Reboot 2003

Chapter 16 016: Computer

While talking, Chen Qin carefully observed the reactions of Lao Chen and his wife.

The reason why I want to mention this matter is not a whim. I saw Xu Lingling acting strangely before, so of course I have to tell the adults about the situation. This is one aspect.

Another important purpose is to test, he is actually not sure how Lao Chen knew that he was in the Internet cafe this time, he saw Xu Lingling peeping in the square before, and only Xu Lingling among his acquaintances knew that she went to the Internet cafe, so he guessed that it was Xu Lingling who told him the secret.

So Chen Qin observed carefully, seeing that Lao Chen seemed to hesitate, Lou Xuemei also frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, Old Chen asked, "When did this happen?"

Chen Qin said: "It has been like this since this semester."

Lou Xuemei suddenly interjected, "Has Xiao Duan been back these days?"

Lao Chen put down his chopsticks: "I don't know, I didn't ask, but Lao Xu didn't come back to work."

Chen Qin couldn't understand what the two were talking about: "What's wrong? Tell Xu Lingling's parents about it."

Old Chen cleared his throat and said, "Xu Lingling's parents have gone on a business trip recently, just wait until they come back."

Chen Qin continued to ask: "Then what should Xu Lingling do now? She looks weird now."

"Take care of her when you go to school. You used to be classmates in the preschool class. You should love each other." Old Chen said, exchanging glances with Lou Xuemei, and then said, "Eat, eat."

This topic is over here. Old Chen's posture of a riddle made Chen Qin a little confused...

After all, in his expectation, Xu Lingling is someone else's good boy, or the "hero" who just exposed Chen Qin's Internet cafe.

If Chen Qin spoke ill of her, Lao Chen would probably think that Chen Qin was taking revenge and correct him reflexively.

However, the reaction of the old Chen and his wife was a bit unexpected. It didn't seem like they would deliberately protect Xu Lingling, but it seemed that they had some inside story that was inconvenient to tell.

To be honest, Chen Qin didn't understand, but now, he has some vague guesses.

That afternoon, he planned to read a book at home, but thinking about Xu Lingling, he went downstairs to 'play'.

Of course, I'm not in the mood to play with the children right now, and I came down to wait for Xu Lingling. Maybe it's not good that I didn't talk to her because of the weather, so I'll ask her carefully today.

So Chen Qin looked at the corridor of Xu Lingling's house while playing marbles.

Still wondering if she won't come?After all, yesterday drove her away.

As a result, before waiting for a few minutes, Xu Lingling came running from the gate.

When I came to see Chen Qin, his young eyes were like an adult's, and he seemed to be genuinely happy, and he came over like a puppy wagging his tail.

When they met again, they flattered and said, "Chen Qin, I'm sorry!"

Chen Qin didn't know what she was apologizing for: "So you really said that we went to the Internet cafe?"

Xu Lingling shook her head again: "I didn't say anything."

"Then what are you sorry for?"

"I have no idea……"

I don't know why, but I'm angry with her... Is that so?

Chen Qin's heart softened: "Since it's not your fault, then you don't need to say these things, it's my fault if you make a mistake."

Xu Lingling really became happy, and asked: "If you can't go to Internet cafes in the future, will you not be able to make money?"

Chen Qin spread his hands: "That's right, the business is all ruined, and your ten yuan shares are also bankrupt and liquidated."

Still wondering if she could understand what bankruptcy liquidation is, Xu Lingling actually took out 20 yuan from her pocket: "Then this is for you."

Chen Qin was so frightened that he quickly asked her to put the money back, while Lou Xuemei was still watching from the balcony.

Xu Lingling was puzzled: "Don't you want it?"

Chen Qin quickly said: "No, no, I want to make a lot more money than this. What can you use this little money for?"

"Then do you still have to go... have to go online?"

"Yes, unfortunately I can't go now." Chen Qin shrugged, "Come play marbles."

Xu Lingling took his hand, turned around and walked to her house: "Come to my house."

"what?"

To be honest, Chen Qin was a little unresponsive.

Now that I am restricted in my scope of activities, there is nothing I can do. Compared to this, what Chen Qin is thinking about is whether he can help his childhood sweetheart solve his mental health problems. Anyway, being idle is idle.

However, Xu Lingling took Chen Qin to her house.

The girl took Chen Qin with one hand, and ran up the stairs with a thump—the two families lived in the same yard, and Xu Lingling's house happened to be in the unit building diagonally opposite Chen Qin's house.

When entering the building, Chen Qin glanced back, Lou Xuemei on the balcony was watching, but did not stop him.

All the way to the third floor, Xu Lingling took out the key from her collar, opened the door, and walked in with Chen Qin.

The two families are a model house with exactly the same layout, but Chen Qin's house runs from east to west, while Xu Lingling's house runs from north to south.

And Xu Lingling's family seems to be quite rich - you can feel it by comparing.

A whole piece of carpet on the floor, a small bonsai placed on a display shelf, a big TV and a leather sofa in the living room, as well as an air conditioner and a humidifier.

Although it is not particularly valuable, but in 03, not every family can have this kind of thing.

At least there is a big gap with Chen Qin's family - it stands to reason that Chen Qin's family can be regarded as the richer group of ordinary citizen workers, Lao Chen works in a printing factory, Lou Xuemei opened a shop with fellow villagers, and the family still has demolition funds, but it is still a little worse than Xu's family.

As for why...

Xu Lingling's father works in the same unit as Lao Chen, and their wages are not much different.

The difference is that Xu Lingling's mother seems to be a dance teacher, and the education and training industry really makes money.

Chen Qin sighed and paid attention to the adults in this family, but after he came in, there was no one in Xu Lingling's family.

And Xu Lingling took him to the master bedroom. There was no one in the master bedroom. The room was clean and tidy, and the air was cold, like a hotel suite that had just been tidied up. On the table were the wedding photos of the old and Xu couples.

Xu Lingling opened the wardrobe on the wall and took out a laptop from inside.

"?"

Chen Qinren was dumbfounded. He took it and saw that it was Toshiba's thin and light business notebook with a small screen.

"Give you."

"You mean to use it for me?"

"Um……"

"I want to go online, but if it's just a computer..."

Before Chen Qin finished speaking, Xu Lingling picked up a gray leather thread on the desk next to it, with a crystal head attached to it.

Chen Qin took a deep breath...

"This is your parents' stuff, will they agree to it when I use it?"

"It's Mom's computer." Xu Lingling said, "She doesn't use it anymore."

"Where did she go?"

"I don't know, it seems to be far away." Xu Lingling said.

"What about your dad?"

"Dad is taking care of grandma in the hospital."

"What about your adults? So there are no adults in your family now?"

"Well, Dad gave me money and asked me to buy food by myself."

"You...forget it, have you eaten today?"

As Chen Qin asked, he frequently looked at Xu Lingling's computer on the table. Xu Lingling seemed to see that Chen Qin was absent-minded, so she couldn't help but said, "I've eaten it. Chen Qin, if you want to use it, use it quickly!"
