Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 107 Where is Home
Lin Rantong silently followed the man. Curiosity flashed in the man's eyes, but he didn't ask any further questions. He took her to a house and rang the doorbell.

After the door opened, a young girl came out, and the man hurriedly said, "I brought Miss Lin Rantong."

The girl immediately lowered her eyebrows and said to Lin Rantong, "Miss Lin, please come in quickly, Madam and Miss have been waiting for you."

Lin Rantong glanced at her like a girl, with a refreshing look, which is quite attractive, and should be a servant hired by her father.Before the end of the world, she and her younger brother lived with their grandparents. They were relatively well-off in material terms, and they hired an aunt to do things all the year round.Presumably in the era when many ordinary people are reduced to slaves, let alone.

Walking into the door, Lin Rantong went directly into the hall. The girl looked at Lin Rantong's unchanging shoes, her lips moved and she didn't make a sound.

The woman put her legs together and sat on the sofa in an elegant posture. Although the years had left traces on her face, she still seemed to have residual charm, but the slightly raised cheekbones added a touch of tenderness to her soft expression. shrewd.

She was taken aback when she saw Lin Rantong, then she stood up and took two quick steps, took Lin Rantong's hand and said: "Rantong, you have lost a lot of weight, you child, you really worry me and your father It’s broken, fortunately Chuyang met you yesterday.” He choked up a bit, and said to Lin Chuyang: “Chuyang, come here soon, haven’t you seen your eldest sister arrive?” The voice was soft, sounding like a young man as beautiful as a woman.

Presumably, my father was drunk by her voice and tenderness.For so many years, she has never even seen this woman lose her temper. She is gentle and gentle to everyone, especially to their siblings. Those who don't know think it is their mother. Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Rantong's mouth twitched .

"Sister." Lin Chuyang came over and called out.

"Rantong, sit down quickly." The woman greeted.

Lin Rantong called Aunt Cui and sat down.

The girl brought up three cups of tea and gently put them down, facing the crowd and retreating quietly.

"Rantong, sit down for a while, your father said he would come back after saying hello at work today." Aunt Cui said, not at all uncomfortable seeing the child born to her husband's ex-wife.

"Okay, I see." Lin Rantong replied lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Lin Chuyang was annoyed for a moment, why should she be so rude to her mother.

The three of them sat like this for a while, and most of the time Aunt Cui asked about Lin Rantong's situation softly. After a while, she heard the sound of the door opening, and she hurriedly stood up and said, "Your father is back." After speaking, he greeted him.

A middle-aged man walked in, followed by two men who stayed outside the door.

He naturally handed the coat he took off to Aunt Cui, and saw Lin Chuyang sweetly called out "Dad" and hung himself on his arm. He said angrily, "How old are you, and you're still so unruly." There was a hint of pampering in his tone.

Lin Rantong, who was sitting on the sofa with his back straight, saw him without frowning. He calmly stood up and walked over, calling out "Dad."

The middle-aged man was stunned, looked at Lin Rantong for a long time, and finally said: "It's fine, it's fine."

"Ran Tong, where's Liu Yuan and Ran Ran?" Lin Feng asked, this was Father Lin's name.

Lin Rantong lowered her eyelashes like a small fan to block the emotion in her eyes: "Liu Yuan is gone, but my friend is there."

Hearing the news of Liu Yuan's death, Lin Feng just frowned, and then said: "Nonsense, why don't you bring Ranran here, when is this, you can rest assured that you put it with those so-called friends."

Lin Feng asked about Lin Rantong's recent situation in detail. Lin Rantong simply said that he and a group of friends he knew came here through hardships and dangers, and didn't say much.

"In this case, I'll send a few people to take Ranran with you, and you can stay at home." Lin Feng said after listening.

Lin Rantong sneered in his heart, home?Where is home?Maybe the one-story house with the loving smiles of grandparents was home, maybe the small three-bedroom unit with my husband and son was home, or even the small courtyard with ginkgo trees that I set up with my teammates at the Pearl Base was home. , However, the detached villa she is in right now is by no means her home.

"Father, there's no need. My friend and I have already rented a house." Lin Rantong replied.

"Rantong, don't be so self-willed all the time, I know you still hate me for not agreeing with you and Liu Yuan, but now he's gone too, and you're bringing An Ran with you, even if you don't Think about it, and think about An Ran." There was a trace of anger in Lin Feng's words.

Lin Rantong sneered, and it was true. In the eyes of his father, he was self-willed and stubborn, while their mother and daughter were always gentle and kind.

"Father, you are wrong. I am your daughter, how can I hate you. It's just that I have already married, and now I am also the mother of a child. Once you make a decision, you won't change it." Lin Rantong said calmly.

Looking at the calm but serious expression of the eldest daughter, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a headache. Back then, when she insisted on marrying that boy from the countryside, he was furious and said a lot of cruel words. She is like this, and she is not rebellious like others. Children contradicting their father like that is just talking about their own reasons slowly, and then step by step to get married and have children according to their own plans.

He didn't keep this daughter by his side because he was afraid of conflicts with his current wife and daughter. She had a low-key and cold personality, so that few people knew that she was the deputy mayor's daughter when she was in her 20s.And that year, when he saw an ordinary ring-like wedding ring on her ring finger, he felt guilty for some reason, and didn't know how to vent his anger.

"Father, I'm glad to know that you, Aunt Cui, and Chuyang are all right. I still have a lot to do, so I'll go back first, and I will bring Ranran to see you later." Lin Rantong said with a light smile.

"Oh, Rantong, even if you can't stay, you can't leave now, why don't you have lunch." Aunt Cui hurriedly said softly.

"No, Aunt Cui, there is really something else to do." Lin Rantong said.

"Eldest sister, how can you leave? Dad asked for leave for you and came back, and mom asked Aunt Wang to prepare a lot of dishes early in the morning. And me, I miss you too." Lin Chuyang suddenly interrupted road.

Seeing Lin Feng glanced at his wife and daughter approvingly, he turned to Lin Rantong and said, "Rantong, you are still a sister, why are you so indifferent to her sister, thanks to Chu Yang who keeps talking about you. I don't care if you are with friends , but you must tell me where you live, and I can take care of anything. Alright, leave after dinner!"

When the food came, it was very rich. I didn't mention the dishes, but I saw Lin Chuyang secretly looking at Lin Rantong, and then I saw her pick up the chopsticks without showing any emotion, and ate it as slowly as if I was eating a homely meal before the end of the world, so I curled my lips , picked up the chopsticks: "Sister, you must have not eaten this braised eggplant for a long time, I remember you like it." While talking, he picked up a chopstick for Lin Rantong.

Seeing his father's gratified expression as expected, Lin Rantong smiled at Lin Chuyang and said, "I haven't eaten for a long time. Thanks to my father, I just tasted it today." Seeing his father's slightly stiff expression from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly felt This eggplant tastes really good.

"Elder Sister, I'm so curious, how come you are younger than before, and still so beautiful, uh, of course Eldest Sister was also beautiful before, but now she is even more beautiful." Lin Chuyang asked innocently.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Feng also eagerly waited for Lin Rantong's answer.

Lin Rantong swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said calmly: "Probably mutated, uh, the appearance is mutated." He continued to pick up a chopstick of eggplant.

Seeing Lin Chuyang's face froze, there was an imperceptible trace of jealousy and disdain.

"Father, I didn't expect my eldest sister and I to be ordinary people." Lin Chuyang said happily.

Aunt Cui followed up and said, "Yes, Lin Feng, I think it's your credit, it's probably hereditary."

Sure enough, this is still the wrong way for him, Lin Rantong thought coolly.

Lin Feng thought it over and said: "Uh, the mutant is not bad, Ran Tong, is it just your appearance that mutated?" He said with anticipation on his face.

"Well, my health has improved a lot." Lin Rantong replied.

"Ah, elder sister, you are still so pale, you look really weak." Lin Chuyang said again.

Lin Rantong gently put down his chopsticks, and smiled at Lin Feng: "Dad, I'm full, I'll go back first, and I'll see you another day." Before Lin Feng could reply, he left an address, smiled at the three of them, and turned to Go outside.

Seeing the elder daughter's behavior, Lin Feng's face turned cold, and he immediately shouted: "Xiao Cui, send the eldest daughter out."

The girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes trotted a few steps to catch up with Lin Rantong, and walked her all the way to the gate: "Miss, please go slowly."

Lin Rantong thanked them, and said hello to the two people standing guard at the door, walked quickly to the street, and took a deep breath.

It was much more comfortable to come out, Lin Rantong half-closed his eyes and thought, what is the name of the eldest lady, it sounds awkward.

Thinking that he would inevitably have to say hello to his father and the mother and daughter from now on, Lin Rantong sighed worriedly. If he had known that his father was here, he might as well have gone to the Amber Base.However, they don't want to manipulate their lives, not before the end of the world, and even less after the end of the world!

Lin Rantong was thinking about it, and after walking for a while, he realized that he didn't know where he was again. In desperation, he had to ask the way and found a place to live.

Knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened with a swipe, revealing Tang Tang's big smile: "Rantong, you are back, come in, everyone is waiting for you to eat!" Said and grabbed Lin Rantong Cool hands pulled her into the room.

In the living room, on the dilapidated wooden table, there were steaming sweet potatoes and cabbage stew. Those familiar faces looked at her and smiled: "I'm going home, hurry up and eat, we are waiting for you."

Lin Rantong smiled: "Well, I'm hungry." Yes, I'm home.

The author has something to say: Sad reminder, when I was cooking dinner, my husband said as if to claim credit: "Honey, didn't you find that cutting vegetables is much faster, I sharpened my knife!" As a result, I cut off a piece of meat from my finger in less than 2 minutes .Children's shoes, Liu Ye is going to type with one hand, and urgently needs your comfort, support, recommendation, etc. Come quickly.
