Chapter 1135: Vine

It is said that the most fearful thing when returning to your hometown during the holidays is the series of questions from relatives: Do you have a job, how much is your income, and are you married?

From Lin Nian's point of view, Li Hueyue, an atypical "child from other people's family," basically needs to work and achieve success, although Lin Nian is not sure whether Lang Juxu's private school counts as 985. , a regular university of Project 211, but in terms of work, Li Hueyue, who has not yet graduated from college, has already become the ace of Lang Juxu. This is no different from working during the summer vacation to the position of a division-level cadre. It is an exaggeration to match one. , the kind that no one would believe if you say it.

As for income, Lin Nian was not sure how much subsidy Li Huoyue could receive in a month. Maybe Lang Juxu was like the secret party, settling according to the difficulty and completion of a single task? Or is it about a unified salary or something? Anyway, he never saw that Li Huoyue was short of money. That Aston Martin DBS was proof. Who on a normal salary would drive that thing on the street?

'Yue' is a rare item that can only be picked up by the entire orthodoxy. It is impossible to tie her up with money. Just like Lin Nian at Kassel College, as long as he really needs it, he can mobilize it. The resources are the entire secret party behind it, and the orthodox foundation is only much greater than that of the secret party, so much so that the secret party itself does not know exactly how much of the iceberg is exposed on the surface of this behemoth that has been dormant in the East for a long time.

Since work and salary are not Li Hueyue's shortcomings at all, let's talk about emotional issues.

——It seems that this is indeed a bit undiscussable. Lin Nian understood this as soon as he sat on the pony.

"It's rare, it's really rare. Finally, I can meet a young man whom Little Moon likes."

There was a chessboard between the old man in the black mantle and Lin Nian. The sycamore trees fluttered above their heads. As soon as they entered under the old sycamore tree, it was like the boundary between light and darkness was separated. The world outside the shade of the tree was slightly blurred. The sun is covered in white, and everything in the field of vision within the shade of the trees is cast in a bright shadow, soft and soothing.

"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Lin Nian had a polite smile on his face.

He hadn't smiled for a while, so he was a little unfamiliar with this facial expression skill, and he didn't know if his smile would be a bit harsh now. Fortunately, before he laughed at Li Hueyue, he looked like he was going to hit someone when he smiled. After a while, they will probably follow in the other party's footsteps, and they will laugh at the same time.

"What else could it mean? Our little Moon has a bright vision!" The old man in the black mantle also laughed, because Lin Nian asked a stupid question, "There are only a few promising young people in the courtyard, but Little Moon is inside It's not easy for the best one to catch her. Young man, what kind of ecstasy did you use to kidnap our little moon?"

"The younger generation is a term in Cantonese and southern Fujian dialects, right? Sir, your old accent doesn't sound like someone from there. How can you speak of an orthodox Bei'an dialect with a southern dialect?"

"Bei'an's well-spoken words mean that I must be from Beijing, right?" The man in the black mantle shook his head, "I was born in Bei'an in the early years. People from many places from all over the world came here to make a living. They live in the same place. In large courtyards, one family speaks Minnan, and this family speaks Shaanxi dialect. It is common for three or four different dialects to be chatted together at the same table. Even if the country later implemented Mandarin and assimilated local dialects, some of the fundamentals Still can’t forget things.”

"Are your ancestors from the south who migrated from the north?"

"No, your uncle, I am a serious Bei'an native. A few generations ago, I was still one of the serious Eight Banners! It's a pity that the years of artillery fire in the Republic of China were lonely, otherwise we would have apartments in the Second Ring Road now!" Hei The old man in the mantle grinned and shook his cattail leaf fan.

Lin Nian nodded, and seeing that the topic he didn't want to answer had been moved away, he continued to ask what he really cared about, "Uncle, the 'little moon' you keep saying, is it Li Hueyue's nickname? I used to But I’ve never heard her mention that she has a nickname, and it seems quite cute at first glance.”

He gradually began to guide the other party to talk about things he wanted to know instead of focusing on boring marriage disputes. This was also the purpose of his willingness to come over and sit down to chat in the first place.

He and Li Hueyue are now in a cooperative relationship, and he feels that he should understand who his partner is, especially when the interests of their cooperation are so huge that they can affect the basic structure of the mixed race world.

Lin Nian looked at the old man in silence as his memories were recalled, waiting for the next step.

"That kid, Li Hueyue, wasn't actually called by that name when she was little. She seems to have had a previous name. What was it called? Ouch, my memory sucks."

"But if you just use the nickname 'Little Moon', I remember it clearly. I was very lively when I was a child. When I just learned to walk, I was already running around in the alleys. I would often hold my legs and trick me into eating candied haws. When I didn't give it to him, she would pout and stare at me. As soon as I took one off, her eyes would smile like the crescent moon. Later, I don't know who called her Little Moon first, so that's what everyone called her. Come down."

"Since when did you change your name to Li Hueyue?"

"The subsequent names were all given by Little Moon and his family after they re-identified their clan and returned to their roots." The old man glanced at Li Huanyue, who was standing in the distance and stared motionless in the sunshine, waving his hand.

Lin Nian listened quietly, collecting the information he wanted.

"But nicknames are something we old guys like to pronounce. Once you get used to it, you young people will naturally stop using it when you grow up. It's normal that she hasn't told you about it." The man in the black mantle said. Looking back, it seemed that he didn't want such a trivial matter to affect the relationship between young people, so he casually covered it up with a haha.

"Young man, do you know how to play chess? It's just idle time. Why don't you play a game?"

"Yes, but only one handful." Lin Nian did not refuse. He realized that the old man in front of him might really know many unknown things. "'Little Moon' and I have something to do here this time. We want to meet some elders." "

"Oh, I really came back to meet my elders. We can't delay. Why don't you hurry up? It's not good to keep people waiting for a long time. The first impression is the most important." The eyes of the old man in the black mantle lit up. Lin Nian started to urge him. It could be seen that Lin Nian had a very good initial impression on this uncle. He started to pull strings before even a few words had been exchanged.

I don’t think Li Hueyue is the type who worries about getting married? The girls are only in their early 19s and 20 at most.

"There's no rush, there's still a while, it's a good time to play a game of chess." Lin Nian seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who urged Li Hueyue to hurry up before, and he easily reset the chess pieces on the chess table.

He is somewhat good at ordinary chess games, but not proficient in them. The only chess game he can play well is chess. However, there are many similarities and differences between Chinese chess and Chinese chess. Those who know Chinese chess may not necessarily know Chinese chess, but they can know Chinese chess. You can place as many elephants as you want.

"Are you guys thinking about getting married when you come back this time?" The uncle casually picked up a pawn from seven to one at the beginning, and started talking directly about the matter.

"That's not true. I'm just meeting my elders to talk about some serious matters." Lin Nianping said to the soldiers.

"I've seen the elders say it's business, what else can it be?" The uncle showed a teasing smile, pointed his finger, and Lin Nian hit the target smoothly.

"It's not the stage of marriage yet." Lin Nian did not deny the relationship that the uncle thought he had with Li Hueyue, but he also did not admit it.

Li Huanyue walked in from the light outside the shade of the tree and stood silently behind Lin Nian. She calmly looked at Lin Nian and the old man who were playing chess. She nodded slightly to the uncle and stood aside. Don't speak or move, just wait quietly.

"What's the relationship between uncle and Li Huoyue? Relatives? Or neighbors?" Lin Nian asked as if he didn't know that Li Huoyue was around, looking at the chessboard to himself.

"The neighbors all stay in the courtyard to take shelter from the wind and rain. We watched Little Moon grow up. When she was so tall, she came to my place every day to eat candied haws. She beat me before I even opened the stall. I've been patronized." The uncle gestured with his hand to raise the height, and then looked at the young girl who was so beautiful that it was brighter than the light spots on the shade of the tree. He said with emotion, "It's not easy to be so generous now. , It’s really not easy. Fortunately, Qian Man endured so many sins in the early years, and God opened his eyes. The suffering in this world cannot flow into a family through the gap in the roof. "

Li Huoyue said nothing, her eyes twitching under her thin bangs.

"Who is Xian Man?" Lin Nian looked up.

"You have to meet someone sooner or later." The uncle smiled, "You have to coax her well. Although Yan Man is gentle and kind, she values ​​her daughter more than anything else. I want the best for my daughter, and my son-in-law is no exception!”

Yan Man, is this the name of Li Huoyue's mother? I just don't know what the last name is.

Speaking of which, Lin Nian had never heard Li Huoyue mention his family, or heard similar news from others. He thought that the other person was an orphan like himself. Well, it was too impolite to think that way. .

But it is true that this girl gave people the feeling of being carefree from the beginning. Every time I saw her on the battlefield, I felt a sense of madness regardless of life and death.

Yes, a sense of madness.

When he first met Li Hueyue, Lin Nian thought she was simply a loyal eagle dog under the orthodox command, so he had a crazy feeling that he could die for the sake of justice at any time, regardless of his own safety.

But several subsequent contacts made him sensitively aware that she had a strong self hidden under her cold and iron-blooded surface. However, this self was wrapped in countless thorns, and she did not resist this restraint, so she showed a Bloody rose thorns grew out of her flesh, and she walked silently on the battlefield dripping with blood, as if there was nothing in the world that she cared about.

Now Lin Nian suddenly knew that the other person had a mother, which highlighted a sense of contradiction. A caring person should never show such a desire to die, and there was no such thing as a sworn relationship with dragons in the other person. Hatred and a sense of mission, what is it that makes her become like this?

"Auntie, how are you doing recently?" Lin Nian asked.

He first had to determine whether the woman named Zian Man was dead or alive. If it was his deceased mother, then Li Huoyue's character would naturally be explained. It's a bit abrupt to directly ask if someone is still there, but it doesn't seem strange to ask about their situation. After all, even couples in a relationship don't often mention each other's parents' situation.

"Pan Man? You have to ask Little Moon about this." The uncle looked at Li Hueyue behind Lin Nian.

"It's good, Wuyou." Li Huanyue said, "Uncle, I told you, he and I are not a couple."

"Well, we are indeed not a couple yet." Lin Nian nodded and said.

After hearing Lin Nian's words, the uncle immediately showed an expression of understanding. Li Huoyue behind him lowered his vision slightly, but did not scold Lin Nian for such inducing remarks. Maybe he was not good at handling this. Such a shameless guy, normally she would draw her sword to kill, but now she can't do that, so she can't do anything.

Still suffered the loss of being stupid.

"But the last time I saw Xian Man was indeed a long time ago. Ever since Little Moon and you recognized your ancestors and returned to the clan, Xian Man has been living in your clan's house, right? Look at the appearance of the elders who came to pick you up. After Xian Man passes, she will probably enjoy happiness and prosperity. She deserves it." The old man shook his head and said softly, slowing down his voice.

"Your mother has suffered too much in her life and she deserves to be blessed. Thanks to you, Little Moon. If you hadn't run out of the big house that day and bumped into the elders of your clan by chance, I'm afraid you, mother and daughter, would have Life is difficult, even though we are neighbors and we will help you, but it’s definitely not as easy as it is now.”

Lin Nian lowered his eyes slightly.

"But it's better now. After I recognized my ancestor and returned to my clan, my life finally changed. After I moved out of the courtyard, I remembered that Little Moon would come back to see us from time to time. She was dressed better every time and was much more energetic. Look at the car we are driving now. They are all worth millions, and it is rare to remember the old neighbors in the courtyard." The uncle looked at Li Hueyue with a smile, his eyes full of kindness and care.

"Maybe." Li Huoyue said softly.

She neither denied nor agreed, her attitude was ambiguous, and there were some incomprehensible indifferent emotions in her profile eyes hidden in the shadow of the trees.

"Recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan? There is such a thing. How old was it?" Lin Nian said.

"It was about five or six years old, right? I can't remember clearly, but when I touched it, it was as high as the little moon, and it reached my waist." The uncle gestured at the height.

"Yes." Lin Nian nodded, "Can you tell me specifically what the situation is?"

It is now confirmed that Li Hueyue has no father. She has only had one mother to keep her company since she was a child. Her father either died early or left.

And the more important information is that Li Huanyue did not enter the orthodox field of vision from the beginning, but was born in a big house. Before the age of five or six, he and his mother had been struggling with life. It sounds like it was quite difficult. , it was not until one day that he was accidentally discovered by the orthodox people, and was accepted into the clan and began to train.

Lin Nian gradually began to build up the life of the girl named "Li Hueyue" in his mind. Behind her, Li Hueyue, who had been offended and digging into the past and secrets, had always been a quiet spectator, without any To interrupt.

Maybe he didn't know why Li Huoyue didn't stop his behavior, but as long as Li Huoyue didn't speak, he would keep asking. He sensed that there might be a story hidden in Li Hueyue's past, and he needed this story to explain it. The covenant that the other party made with him in the courtyard a few days ago allowed him to continue to follow the plan without any scruples.
