The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 239 Don't Recognize Me

Lin Mi picked up the broken dog box, took his father's hand, and signaled him not to speak.

She touched the thick dust with her toes on the floor, and rubbed out a word: Go!

Then the word "walk" was wiped off by the sole of the shoe in a flash.

Mr. Lin understood what his daughter meant.

Looking at her swollen eyelids, she guessed that the little guy must have stayed up last night and was hiding something from him.

He understood, followed his daughter, gently pushed the door open, and poked his head outside.

After looking back and forth, they were sure that there was no one in the corridors and stairs, and the two were relieved.

Lin Mi and his father walked out one after the other.

He walked through the corridor first, then took the stairs, and quickly slipped out while the people in the shop were busy.

After leaving the hotel, Lin Mi pulled his father to quicken his pace.

The father and daughter took a big breath of fresh air.

It doesn't feel cold, but has a icy coolness after the snow.

The two walked faster and faster, the hotel condensed into a small black dot behind them, and finally disappeared.

As if they had never had an intersection with it.

The scenery in front of Lin Mi gradually became familiar.

This intersection faces Banjing Hutong.

Her classmate and good friend Yu Fen lived there.

Lin Mi counted the time subconsciously.

At this time, it should be the end of the final exam and the winter vacation.

Yu Fen is notoriously fond of studying, she must be at home.

"Father, I want to say goodbye to Yu Fendao. Her house is the second yard on the left."

"No, Mi'er, we are here."

Mr. Lin looked into his daughter's eyes and swallowed the word "escape" abruptly.

Say it, how embarrassing my daughter will be.

He didn't want his daughter's self-esteem to be hurt, so he let go of her hand and nodded gently.

"Go. I'll wait for you here, come back quickly."

Lin Mi hugged the box and walked along the narrow path of the alley.

Arriving at the door of Yu Fen's house, he was about to knock on the red-lacquered wooden door when he heard a loud sound of smashing things from inside.

"You heartless, I'll raise you for nothing!"

The roar of a middle-aged man was like thunder.

And with the woman's pleading: "Don't beat A Fen, if you want to beat me, kill me!"

The man was very angry, and his voice was surprisingly loud:

"If you dare to speak up for Lin in front of the police, I will beat you to death with an iron spoon!"

"I've been frying food for half my life, my job is gone, just wait to die of starvation, and you don't want to go to school!"

Lin Mi's head buzzed.

Yu Fen's father is a chef working in Huaxia Hotel.

Now the hotel has been implicated by the Lin family and has just closed down.

Yu Fen's crying came intermittently from the crack of the door.

She didn't say a word, just cried and cried.

The woman's voice was full of helplessness and distress, reminding Lin Mi of his mother.

"Ah Fen is still a child, and there is still some money at home. If you find a job to do, you can't stop her from studying."

Lin Mi's tears welled up.

She fumbled in her pocket and pulled out the banknotes she had picked up in the hallway last night.

These three banknotes are still so new to the touch.

She gritted her teeth and decided to leave the money at the door.

In order to prevent the wind from blowing away, a stone was pressed on it.

Before turning around to leave, Lin Mi slammed the door hard.

"Boom!"

The people in the house reacted immediately: "Who is outside the door?!"

"Yu Fen, I have something for you at the door! Take care!"

Before the door opened, Lin Mi had already run about [-] meters in one breath.

"Dad. Dad, I'm back"

Seeing his daughter panting, Mr. Lin thought he had encountered the police, and quickly picked her up and ran towards another road.

Lin Mi lay on his father's back, holding the box.

The utility poles on the side of the road and the tall and short shops and houses all receded.

My father ran smoothly at first, but after a while he became very strenuous.

"Dad, I'm fine, please let me down."

Mr. Lin is exhausted.

As soon as Lin Mi's feet hit the ground, he hurriedly wiped the sweat off his father's face.

The sun has come out.

Mr. Lin habitually raised his hand to check the time. There was no watch on his bare wrist.

He felt a little lost.

But it is not so sad to think that the watch has been replaced by the bread, and the bread has been eaten by the daughter.

Lin Mi took out the last silver dollar in his pocket.

There was a pastry shop just up ahead.

The store is not too big, so the price must not be very expensive, which is just what she wants.

"Dad, look, there is a shop selling snacks, let's have a good meal together."

There is no sign of customers at the door of the store, and the warm pastry tastes very attractive.

Lin Mi dragged his father inside.

She walked to the counter and looked at the shelves of all kinds of pastries behind the clerk, feeling a little impatient.

She handed over the silver dollar, "How much do you think you can buy? Can you eat it for a day?"

"I'll weigh two catties of mung bean cakes and three catties of water chestnut cakes for you. Get some change."

The clerk was very nice, not only carefully wrapped the snacks, but also counted all the change as her pastries.

Lin Mi took the snacks and change from the clerk, and quickly unwrapped a corner of the wrapping paper.

"Dad, this is mung bean cake, eat it quickly."

Mr. Lin took the cake with both hands, and looked at his daughter while eating, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This child has developed skills all of a sudden, and the hardships of life come as soon as they are said. I didn't expect my daughter to adapt faster than him.

Lin Mi watched his father eat two pieces of cake, and then remembered that his stomach was empty all the time, so he quickly took one and broke it, put half into the box to feed the dog, and started to bite the rest in small bites.

During the moment when the father and daughter bowed their heads to eat the cake, two figures standing side by side appeared at the door of the shop.

Out of vigilance, Lin Mi raised his eyes and looked over quietly——
The mung bean cake in the mouth is instantly tasteless.

A man and a woman, both young.

Men are dressed in filial piety, and women are dressed in white skirts.

"Third brother, I'll go in and have a look, you can wait for me here."

The woman walked in slowly after speaking.

Although his appearance is handsome and upright, his face is haggard.

Lin Mi recognized the sister she met when trying on the wedding dress before the accident.

She rubbed her head and suddenly remembered that she met her at the hotel on the day of the wedding banquet.

Thinking of the misfortune he brought to others, Lin Mi was like a discouraged ball, wishing to bury his head under the abacus on the counter.

As Zhu Juanjuan got closer to her, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"Don't, don't recognize me"

"Hello, red bean cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake and chestnut cake, three catties each. Pack separately."

"okay!"

The guy wrapped up the snacks, and when he handed them to her, his voice was full of concern.

"Miss, you've lost weight, it's important to take care of your body."

She nodded, and said softly: "Thank you, take care too." Mr. Lin was careless after all, so he didn't notice anything strange.

He looked at Zhu Juanjuan, and just sighed in his heart: "It would be great if Mi'er grew up to the age of this lady in front of me, and would be generous!"

Zhu Juanjuan's hand seemed a little weak.Perhaps nine catties of cakes are very heavy when added together.

Not long after receiving the snack, her hand trembled, and a wrapped snack slipped out of her palm, rolled twice, and landed at Lin Mi's feet.
