·
Yi Hu Qing Jiu w
Eight o'clock at night, the imperial capital, the Lin family.
Qin Shujuan, who is more than 70 years old, is wearing reading glasses to read the latest scientific journals. This is also a habit she has developed over the past few decades. As a well-known Pokémon doctor at Mizuki University, she reads a paragraph every day before going to bed. Time for the latest Pokémon Science Journal, or check out the Pokémon Research Journal.
"Ding ding."
The mobile phone rang suddenly, interrupting Mrs. Qin. She picked up the mobile phone and saw the little daughter written on the call notification. She quietly glanced at Mr. Lin at the side, walked to the empty room, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Xuemei?"
"Mom!" Listening to the old lady Qin's voice on the phone, Lin Xuemei, who is over 50 years old, couldn't help but feel a sore nose: "Have you been feeling better recently?"
"Yeah. It's much better. I eat well and sleep well." Mrs. Qin smiled when she heard her daughter's voice, and chatted with her daughter about the family: "Xuemei, how are you doing recently?"
"I'm doing well, Mom." Lin Xuemei calmed down slightly, and softly chatted with her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time: "Mom, you have to pay attention to your body and take more rest. You've already retired. Don't think about so many things, enjoy more happiness."
"Well, you know, mom can't be idle." Mrs. Qin touched the head of old man Long next to her with one hand, chatting with her daughter while laughing.
"..."
The two chatted from the embarrassing things about Lin Xuemei's childhood to the two brothers Charlotte. They talked for ten minutes without stopping. The mother and daughter who hadn't talked for a long time seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
Mrs. Qin glanced at Mr. Lin secretly, seeing that he was not paying attention, she lowered her voice and asked secretly: "Xuemei, if you have time, you should call your father and persuade him to quit drinking. The doctor also said, Drinking alcohol is not good for his health. Both of you father and daughter are stubborn. You, take Xiaoluo and Xiaoyu home when you have time. Your father is already in his 70s, and he will be 80 in a few years. He's really old."
"Mom." Mrs. Qin's words made Lin Xuemei's tears keep pouring out. Lin Xuemei really didn't hate Lin anymore. After being a mother for so many years, she also understood her father's thoughts back then, otherwise she wouldn't let him Both kids visit them every year.
It's just that she and Mr. Lin are both stubborn, and neither of them is willing to bow their heads and admit their mistakes first, so the relationship between the father and daughter is still stiff until now.But Mr. Lin is really old, he will be almost 80 years old soon, the once tall father has gradually become rickety, and if he continues to be so stubborn with him, it is actually meaningless.
"Mom, I got it. I called this time just to tell you that I will bring Xiaoyu to the Imperial Capital in a few days." Lin Xuemei said softly.
"Seriously, you can't make me happy." Mrs. Qin heard that her little daughter was going back to the imperial capital, the wrinkles on her face were huddled together, and she smiled, even touching old Weng Long's hands a little heavier.
As if feeling the joy of his master, Old Man Long rubbed Mrs. Qin's hand affectionately.
"Really, I'm not lying to you. Mom, you put the phone on speakerphone, and I have a few words with my dad." Lin Xuemei said.
"Xuemei...your father is just stubborn, you..."
"Don't worry, I know how to measure, Mom, I won't quarrel with him."
Mrs. Qin walked towards Mrs. Lin tremblingly holding the phone. Mrs. Lin, who was reading the newspaper with glasses, could vaguely see his youthful handsome appearance. He raised his head to look at Mrs. Qin, and asked, "Who called, Talking for so long, laughing so happily?"
"Your little daughter, she wants to talk to you on the phone. I've turned on the speakerphone."
Hearing that it was his youngest daughter's call, Elder Lin's hands trembled slightly, but he quickly pretended to be calm, with a serious face on his face.But Mrs. Qin, who had lived with Mr. Lin for decades, could still see Mr. Lin's nervousness at a glance. This was the first phone call between Mr. Lin and his daughter in so many years.
"Hello." Lin Xuemei's voice on the other end of the phone made Mr. Lin's heart tremble.
"It's me." Elder Lin tried his best to keep his voice steady, but his voice was full of vicissitudes and hoarseness in his 70s.
Lin Xuemei, who was still hesitating to call her Dad, couldn't help but blushed when she heard Old Lin's vicissitudes voice, and said softly, "Dad."
The phone fell silent, and after several seconds, Lin Xuemei continued, "I'm going to take Xiaoyu to the Imperial Capital in two days, so I can come and see you."
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but interjected: "Are you coming back to work? Do you have a place to live? When you come back, you will live at home. I will ask you to make up two rooms for you to live in. The family is more lively. Your room is always empty. on."
"Hmm." Lin Xuemei was slightly moved when she heard her mother's words. This time she did not reject her mother's proposal. When she came to the capital last time, she insisted on staying in a hotel. This time, she naturally wanted to go home.
"What are you doing?" Father Lin was more concerned about what Xuemei was doing than Mrs. Qin was concerned about Lin Xuemei's residence.Although he said he didn't want to contact her, Father Lin would often inquire about his youngest daughter secretly.
"Xiao Yu is in his third year of high school this year, and he will participate in the U19 Pokémon League in the University Cup in half a year. I want him to go to Dragon's Secret Realm for half a year of training." Lin Xuemei said.
"Didn't that kid, Xiao Yu, want to be a researcher and didn't even tame a single Pokémon?" Mrs. Qin asked, feeling indebted to Xia Luo and Xia Yu, two grandchildren who hadn't been around all this time, so He also cares more about the two than his grandchildren.She remembered that during the Chinese New Year, Xia Yu didn't even have a Pokémon, so why is she going to participate in the High School Cup now?
"Well, Xiaoyu only started to tame Pokémon recently, and she has tamed three of them so far," Lin Xuemei said.
At this time, Elder Lin said, "When will you arrive?"
Listening to Elder Lin's voice, Lin Xuemei said softly, "I guess it will take two days. Xiaoyu's third Pokémon is still hatching in the secret flame territory of Xishu Province. You can't come here until it hatches."
"Which three Pokémon? I asked people to prepare things in advance, and I just happened to go through the formalities for Xiaoyu these days." Father Lin was more thoughtful. Although his tone was serious, the concern in his words was beyond words.
"Humming bats, forest lizards, Charmanders."
"okay, I get it."
Speaking of this, the topic stopped abruptly, and the two sides of the phone suddenly fell into silence. It was only after a while that Lin Xuemei spoke slowly: "Dad, Xia Yong also needs your help with something."
"Say." When it comes to this son-in-law, Mr. Lin doesn't have a good attitude. He has kidnapped his daughter for so many years. If he didn't look at his daughter's face, he wouldn't bother.
"Xia Yong would like to ask you to find someone for Xiao Yu. A while ago, there was a Grass and Worm Secret Realm in Starlight City. The Pokémon Association gave Xia Yong the right of first refusal for [-]% of the shares, and now we have bought them. Xia Yong said I am willing to take [-]% of the shares as a dowry for Xiao Yu's marriage. As long as I get married, I will transfer this [-]% of the shares to Xiao Yu and the woman's name, each with half of the shares. Isn't Xia Yu coming to the imperial capital? You can help him when you have time See if there are any suitable girls."
"I agreed on your father's behalf." Before Mr. Lin could speak, Mrs. Qin beside him spoke first: "He doesn't care about this matter, I care. But Xiao Yu is only a senior in high school now, at least he has to wait until he is in college before he can get engaged."
"It's okay, Mom, just mention this matter, don't worry, just remember it." Lin Xuemei said this, her tone was a little soft: "Mom and Dad, I'll hang up first, you should pay attention to your health, rest more, wait I'll see you in a few days."
"Ah."
