Chapter 828 Lin 7 Night (11)
What we are celebrating today is actually very simple.
Dad Yun got a promotion.
He is now the captain of the criminal police brigade.
"Then the work will be even busier."
He used to sleep in the police station and not go home, so now he must be even more motivated.
Yun Ci always felt that although both Yun's father and Yun's mother chose to leave the army, in fact, it seemed that only Yun's mother left.
Of course, she didn't mean to say anything bad about Yun's father, but... in comparison, only Yun's mother did what she said at the beginning, "coming back for Yun Ci."
But if possible, Yunci would rather Yunma do what she likes.
Yun's mother could have changed her career and found a better job, but because of her, she stayed in this small supermarket.
Tonight, both Yun's father and mother drank a lot of wine.
Yunci called a designated driver to take them back to the old town.
Yun's father and mother supported each other and went back to their room to rest. Yun Ci locked the door and returned to the room a little tired. Lin Qiye was already waiting inside.
"came back?"
"When did you come?" Yun Ci put the cup filled with hot water on the bedside table, then sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow at the head of the bed to rest.
"About ten minutes ago." Lin Qiye looked at Yun Ci, "I thought you would be waiting for me at home."
Yun Ci glanced at him and said, "Am I that kind of person? I still have my own things to do."
Without waiting for Lin Qiye to reply, Yun Ci continued: "Don't you want to tell me something?"
"Yes, I specifically asked the captain for it when I came here, so I can tell you."
Lin Qiye briefly talked about how he awakened his special abilities and then joined the Night Watch because of Zhao Kongcheng.
"It was dangerous, so I didn't dare tell my aunt."
One is that I’m afraid she will worry.
The other was afraid that she would not let him go.
"Uh." Yun Ci thought of her aunt who was already suspicious and worried, "Is it possible that you can't fool your aunt at all?"
Lin Qiye was startled: "Ah?"
Yun Ci scratched her forehead and said, "Aren't you guys colluding with each other? You and the person who went to my aunt's house to give money were talking about two different places."
Lin Qiye's body trembled: "So...so..."
So my aunt knew he was lying at that time?!
Yun Ci nodded, indicating that Lin Qiye’s idea was correct.
Lin Qiye: "...What should we do now?"
"Did your aunt contact you later? Did she mention asking you to go back?"
Lin Qiye shook his head, feeling relieved but also a little guilty.
"It's my fault. I made my aunt worry."
but……
Zhao Kongcheng died there while trying to protect his little home.
He joined the Night's Watch as a way of repaying Zhao Kongcheng.
"So, you're going to join the Night's Watch for ten years?"
"Correct."
Yunci actually has a lot of realistic things to say.
But looking at Lin Qiye's determined expression, she felt that there was actually nothing to say.
"Now that you have made up your mind, just go ahead and do it. I won't tell my aunt."
"Thank you, Xiaoci."
"You don't have to be so polite. However, since you don't want your aunt to know, you should stop going to school so blatantly in the future. What if a classmate runs into your aunt and says something like that..."
Lin Qiye was a little worried about this, but this was the job of the night watchman, it was his duty, so...
"But I won't be here for long. I'm still a temporary member. If I want to officially join the team, I have to go through training and exams..."
Two people, one sitting and the other lying down, chatting about their recent situation.
The night is getting darker.
Yunci's sleepy voice gradually became lower.
Lin Qiye stopped talking at the right time, listened to Yun Ci's breathing gradually becoming steady, and whispered "good night".
He stood up and gently covered Yun Ci with the quilt, then left the balcony again as he had done when he came.
Another half month passed since then.
Lin Qiye came to see Yun Ci once and said goodbye to her, saying that he was going to attend training and didn't know when he would be back, so he asked her to help look after his aunt and A Jin.
Lin Qiye didn't need to say this, Yun Ma would certainly not give up on making friends with her good friend.
The two would get together from time to time to rest, drink some wine, and talk about their concerns.
My aunt was too busy before and had no time to make friends.
Life at home is not so difficult now. Although my aunt still works hard to make money, she is not as hard as before.
Yunma is her best friend and they can talk about anything.
Occasionally, when they get drunk, they would advise Yun Ci not to be alone and not make friends.
Yun Ci: “…”
Who said she has no friends?
It’s just that her friend… is a little more studious.
*
For a long time afterwards, Yun Ci continued to study and read as usual.
Even though she knew where Lin Qiye was, she never went to look for him.
A normal daily routine until the weather turns cooler.
Winter vacation is here.
Yunci's family is preparing to celebrate the New Year with Yang Jin and her aunt.
The Yun family’s place is slightly bigger, so that’s why we chose it as the place for the party.
That afternoon, Yun's mother and aunt started to get busy in the house.
Dad Yun took Yang Jin and Yun Ci to post and hang up couplets and other things from the two places.
"How about this angle?"
“It’s a little crooked.”
"so?"
"Perfect."
Snowflakes gradually began to fall from the sky.
The three of them, one adult and two children, quickened their pace and returned to the Yun family when a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
At this time, the room was completely filled with the aroma of delicious food. Yun Ci pulled Yang Jin and took him to the kitchen to eat secretly.
"Ah Jin, come and try this." Yun Ci lowered her voice, crouched stealthily, poked out half of her head, and quickly took a piece of fried chicken from the plate, "Be careful, it's hot."
Yang Jin subconsciously opened his mouth and bit it.
The fried chicken just out of the pan is really hot, and it's a little juicy when you bite it, but it's super delicious.
Yun Ci pinched another one and stuffed it into her mouth, her fingertips stained red by the heat.
It was the first time for Yang Jin to "cheat" like this, and he felt a little embarrassed.
But the two adults clearly discovered it, but they pretended not to notice and let them continue to steal the food, which felt kind of good.
"The fish fillets are ready." Dad Yun held two basins, "These are for stewing pickled fish, and these boneless ones can be made into fried fish fillets, right?"
My aunt took a look and nodded, indicating that it was cut just right.
"Here is the prepared marinade, but you need to add some salt and rub it before marinating..."
The sound of water splashing.
The water in winter is bone-chillingly cold. Even though there is a warm water mode, Yunba didn't use it, so it didn't seem cold at all.
Yun Ci went over to wash her two greasy fingers, shivered from the cold, shook her hands, ran into the house and poured herself a cup of hot water to warm herself up.
Yang Jin and the little black dog looked at each other blankly.
——Is it so cold?
The little black dog that was running wildly outside just now shook its head.
He didn't feel cold.
Yang Jin didn't feel cold when he washed his hands just now.
——It seems that Sister Xiaoci is particularly afraid of the cold.
The little black dog took note of this.
In the next few hours, whenever Yun Ci had the 'work' of washing things, the little black dog would bark twice, and then Yang Jin would trot over to take over.
At first, Yun Ci didn't quite understand what they were doing. But later, whenever they encountered cold water, the master and servant would cooperate to grab the work, and Yun Ci understood.
——This is because you don’t want me to get wet.
[You must have been too exaggerated just now. ]
Xiao Ai pushed her non-existent glasses and said affirmatively.
[Ordinary people may not feel that the water is as cold as you make it out to be. ]
Yun Ci waved her hand casually to get rid of the pink light spot, and complained in her heart.
——I am just an ordinary person now.
[No, you are an ordinary soul now. ]
