Reboot 2003

Chapter 18 018: The heavy is Xiaoqingmei

Xu Lingling could see that she was a little disappointed, the person standing outside the door didn't seem to be the person she expected to see.

Chen Qin came out to speak, and Xu Lingling let go of the doorknob: "Aunt Lou, please come in!"

Lou Xuemei quickly waved her hand: "I won't go in!"

Then he said to Chen Qin: "Ah Qin, you and Xu Lingling are companions, come back early after the game! I asked Lao Chen to call, and Lao Xu said he would be back later."

Chen Qin quickly agreed, and took the lunch box from Lou Xuemei, but Xu Lingling asked, "Aunt Lou, what about my mother?"

"She..."

Lou Xuemei seemed to have a headache: "Your mother won't be back for a while, she's gone far away."

After finishing speaking, he left quickly. After all, this was someone else's private matter, and he hadn't gotten through with Lao Xu yet, and she was Xu Lingling's mother's classmate, so she couldn't just talk nonsense.

Lou Xuemei left soon, and Chen Qin opened the lunch box, which contained dinner for two children and three dishes, which seemed much richer than usual.

Chen Qin put the plate on Xu Lingling's table, but Xu Lingling grabbed his sleeve: "Chen Qin..."

"what happened?"

"Is my mother not coming back?"

This……

Chen Qin turned his head and met the girl's calm gaze. She had just woken up, her soft hair was blown up in a mess, and she was pouted at the moment, looking at Chen Qin expectantly.

Chen Qin actually didn't know what to say.

As an adult, it seemed a little too cruel to tell her the truth directly, but he was not an adult now, and he knew that the little girl opposite had already begun to guess the truth of the matter.

Repeating that lie certainly keeps the tacit scar alive, but what about later?
"She can actually come back at any time, but for some reason, she can't come back for the time being." Chen Qin scratched his head while talking, I was talking about a hammer.

But what should be said should be explained clearly. Seeing Xu Lingling continued to listen, she continued to say: "The reason is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly, but... Uh, this is the business of the adults, not your fault. Let's just be ourselves."

Xu Lingling nodded, and Chen Qin continued:

"Now your father is trying to figure out a way, and he is under a lot of pressure, so you have to be strong, eat well, and wait for your mother to come back, understand?"

Is that ok?
As Chen Qin said, he tentatively opened the chair: "Come to eat?"

Xu Lingling sat on the chair honestly: "Chen Qin, thank you for accompanying me."

Chen Qin was a little embarrassed: "I still use your computer. Speaking of which, what do you want to play? Before your father comes back at night, let's play."

The work has come to an end. Taking advantage of the whole day today, the two advertising orders at hand have been completed. As for the email advertisements, after sending all the email advertisements, there are actually not many ways to continue to expand the business.

The next step is to write a script to send spam, or use other methods to advertise to attract customers. Chen Qin did not expand the business hastily for the sake of insurance. As for the domain name, he is not in a hurry to continue purchasing.

I thought Xu Lingling would say something like wanting to go outside, but Xu Lingling replied: "I want to play with dolls."

The words splashed out, the doll is really boring, Chen Qin patiently played with her for a while, and Lao Xu finally came back——

It was already eight o'clock in the afternoon.

"Uncle Xu, you are finally back!"

Hearing the sound of the keys, Chen Qin got up and saw Xu Lingling's father walking in as if he was being amnesty. He was a well-looking middle-aged man. Chen Qin actually didn't remember it very clearly, but he saw it in the wedding photo just now.

Seeing a real person now, my feelings are more specific—the old Xu Tao, who is less than [-] this year, looks the same as Chen Jianyun, and is exactly the same generation as Chen Qin before his rebirth...

Judging by the standards of this age group, Xu Lingling's father is still handsome, but because of his poor mental outlook, his eyes are dark now, and the beard on his face looks like he hasn't shaved for a long time.

Seeing Chen Qin, Xu Tao showed a reluctant smile: "It's Xiaoqin, sit down quickly. There are many family affairs these days, and I really can't take care of Lingling. Old Chen said that you came to accompany Lingling to do homework. You really have a heart."

Chen Qin quickly said it was okay, Xu Lingling probably remembered what Chen Qin said before, and ran up to hug Lao Xu's thigh: "Dad, you have worked hard!"

Lao Xu stroked his daughter's hair, with a relieved and tired expression on his face.

Afterwards, Chen Qin took the lunch box and wanted to go back, but he heard Lao Xu at the door say to Xu Lingling: "I am busy taking care of your grandma these days, and I really can't take care of my family. I also told Lao Chen before, you will eat at Xiao Qin's house these few days, right?"

The words were addressed to Xu Lingling, but Chen Qin didn't think much of it, and followed up with the invitation: "Yes, the bean paste buns made by my mother are delicious, and I think she likes them too."

Xu Lingling shook her head, "No, I'm going to eat at home."

Old Xu tried to persuade her: "Chen Qin's parents are also very kind to you, don't you remember? When you were in preschool, you ran to Xiaoqin's house every day."

As he spoke, he smiled at Chen Qin, and Chen Qin also agreed with his heart: "You have eaten at my house, and you will go home when your father comes back in the evening."

Xu Lingling insisted, "No, I'll stay here with Chen Qin, let Chen Qin deliver the food."

As she said that, it seemed that she herself felt that something was wrong, and she added in a pretentious way: "Otherwise, what if no one opens the door when mom comes back? I'm going to be at home..."

After the words fell, Lao Xu seemed to be frozen in place.

Chen Qin was also stunned, and then Xu Tao didn't insist on letting her go to Chen Qin's house for dinner. He called Lao Chen and thanked him for today's meal, and then Lao Chen took care of Xu Lingling's food for the next few days.

After Chen Qin came home, the old Chen and his wife asked him some questions and told him to pay more attention to Xu Lingling in the past few days, not to bully her just because he was a boy, and not to touch other people's things at Xu Lingling's house... The matter was settled like this.

But when he was sleeping that night, Chen Qin thought about the advertisement, and couldn't help but think of Xu Lingling's words.

Is she unwilling to come here to eat so that she can continue to use the computer reasonably?

Of course, this is just a conjecture, maybe it's just Chen Qin's self-indulgent sentimentality, and Xu Lingling probably really wants her mother back, and the reason may not be entirely made up for him.

But how to say...

A little heavy.

Chen Qin sighed deeply, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
