The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 236 Unexpected Encounter (3)

Under the street lamps, there are two dependent shadows.

Lin Mi supported his father and unknowingly walked through several alleys in the snow.

In this block, there are many memories of her three years in Peking.

This tree, this house, and the bakery that Li Yan used to frequent when he drove her to school.

That bakery is surprisingly small.

The baked bread is surprisingly appealing to girls.

Small and round, there are a variety of flavors to choose from, and they are not expensive.

In the store, there was only a fat little guy who was busy.

Every time Li Yan came out with a bag of bread, Lin Mi sniffed like a greedy cat.

"Miss, I have eaten at home this morning."

"I'll take it to school to eat!"

Li Yan was afraid that she would spoil her stomach, and Mrs. Lin had also told Lin Mi not to eat outside food.

However, he bought it every day, as long as she ordered it.

She didn't appreciate it every time, she reached out and grabbed the pocket, picked the hottest one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Yan swallowed the bread repeatedly while driving carefully.

Unfortunately, these memories, after all, are memories of a long time ago.

The traitor Wang Xin has been killed by Qilan and Chen Xing.

When he was dying, he revealed that Li Yan was no longer in this world.
Two mist rose from Lin Mi's eyes.

At this moment, the door of the store has been closed, leaving a small window with a faint light inside.

A series of short grunts sounded in the father's stomach.

"Dad, are you hungry?"

Lin Mi supported him with one hand, and pointed to the small bakery that seemed to be closed.

"I'll go see if there's anything to eat."

Her mouth was full of confidence, and her heart was beating drums.

There is no penny on him.

Just now Gu Qijiang wanted to give her a sum of money, but she refused.

Only now did I realize that I was too numb, forgetting the truth that people need money to live.

Mr. Lin saw his daughter's thoughts at a glance.

"Son, I'll go with you."

Lin Mi could hear the affirmation in his father's voice, and thought, "Did Dad bring money?"

The father and daughter came to the bakery.

Unfortunately, Mr. Lin was too tall, and the small window that lit the light was too short, so it was difficult to bend over.

Lin Mi approached and patted the window frame lightly with both hands: "Hi, are you still selling bread?"

The small window creaked open, and a familiar paper package was handed out.

"There is 1 bag left. Selling it at half price."

How much is half price?She really has no idea.

Li Yan usually buys them, she doesn't know the price.

Mr. Lin calmly took off the gleaming watch on his wrist,

"I'll trade this with you."

The bakery boy reached for the watch and took it away.

The man touched the watch several times in the palm of his hand, and he was sure it was a good thing.

Lin Mi took the bread and looked back at his father.

Mr. Lin took his daughter's hand and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, the boy's voice came again:
"give change!"

With a bang, the two silver dollars rolled to the ground.

If it was in the past, Lin Mi would not even look at it.

However, the bread and the two silver dollars were exchanged for my father's watch, so the meaning is different.

She held the bread in one hand, half bent over, and picked up the silver dollar with the other hand.

Mr. Lin wanted to stop her, but finally chose to acquiesce.

Apart from this watch, he has nothing of value.

These two silver dollars are the only property that the father and daughter can count on at the moment.

With silver dollars, there is a little more hope of survival.

"Dad, with the money, we can stay in the hotel."

Lin Mi was really happy, rubbed his hands together,

"It's too cold, too cold."

"Yes, you can settle down and sleep well if you find a place to live."

I found a few, but they were either too expensive or too dirty.

They kept walking in the snow with hope, kept choosing, and finally saw a small hotel with a reasonable price.

In the middle of the night, there were still many people coming to the store to stay overnight.

The man led the father and daughter upstairs.

The clerk looked at Lin Mi who was disguised as a man. Although the clothes were plain, he looked like a student, and immediately spoke warmly:

"Little brother, you are also here to take the university entrance exam?"

Lin Mi couldn't say anything, thinking that Qijiang had warned her that the whole city was arresting people from the Lin family, so he could only nod in response.

"Yes. I just got off the train at night."

Mr. Lin remained calm and covered up the lie for his daughter.

The guy went on to brag:
"You are looking for us, you are looking for the right one. The food is good, the service is good, and the test is good. Many foreign students live here."

Mr. Lin no longer wanted to listen to his bragging, waved his hand and said:

"Find a room quickly, we want to go to bed early."

There was a treacherous smile on the corner of the man's mouth, and he pointed to a room at the end of the corridor.

"This is the only one left. The price, it must be expensive. Pay first."

Lin Mi took out a silver dollar.

Seeing this, the buddy quickly accepted it.

"You can stay for two days. Three meals are included."

The man opened the door with a smile.

This room is not a serious guest room at all. The owner of the store took advantage of the large number of people in order to make money and temporarily changed it from the utility room.

Not to mention electric lights in the house, there is not even a decent candle holder.

Borrowing the light from the opposite room and corridor, Mr. Lin sat down at the dusty table.

The clerk took the half box of matches on the table and struck the wick with his hands.

The room is not only small, but also extremely dirty.Everything is old.

Mr. Lin has never stayed in this kind of hotel, but his intuition tells him that the clerk is obviously cheating.

He had no better way, so he had to lower his voice and urge: "We are hungry, bring some food and drink."

Lin Mi was really going to faint from hunger.

Her legs went limp.

Without taking off his shoes, he lay down on the simple wooden bed in the corner.

"Mi'er, don't fall asleep, there is still bread, you eat first."

Mr. Lin did not forget to remind his daughter, "It will be enough for me to eat what the buddy gave me later."

As he spoke, he opened the bread bag.

A bit disappointed.

An expensive watch, only exchanged for 3 buns and 2 silver dollars.

And there is a 1 silver dollar that has already paid the rent.

Lin Mi rolled over on the bed, the dust choked his nose, so he quickly turned over and sat up.

"Father, please eat bread with me."

She took two loaves for her father and kept one for herself.

"Son, you ate all of it, I'm not hungry."

"If you don't eat it, I won't either!"

Lin Mi and his father pushed back and forth, and without paying attention, a piece of bread suddenly fell from his hands.

The bread made a circle on the dusty floor.

Lin Mi was stunned.

Just as Mr. Lin was about to reach out to pick up the bread, a white snowball-like thing ran in from the door suddenly.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

This little snowball is a dog!

It must be very hungry too, biting the bread on the ground.

Mr. Lin instinctively withdrew his hand.

Slow down a little bit, and the puppy will definitely bite his hand, so what should I do!

Father is kind.

"Mi'er, look, puppies eat so deliciously. Hurry up and eat one too."

Lin Mi held the bread and shook his head slightly.

"Son, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying?"

Mr. Lin saw tears streaming from his daughter's eyes.

Thought she was frightened.
