“Thank you just now,” Leroy Davis said to Lin Chu. Lin Zhu did not look at Leroy Davis, the pan of residue disposal: “Thank me for what, I see those two women eyesore, has nothing to do with you”
Leroy Davis suddenly felt a tinge of guilt towards Linju, thinking that she should be very lonely as she was the only one in the food truck after he left every day.
“You are obviously so powerful, why did you put up with them so much just now?” Leroy Davis was stunned and said, “After all, we are old classmates, not to mention that they only said a few words about me, and did not hit me, I do not want to be like them, if I cursed like them, I have become that kind of person, right?”
“Heh, your patience is quite strong, I can’t compare to you, others scold me one sentence, I must scold them 10!” Lin Zhu smiled and said.
Leroy Davis didn’t say a word. During his seven years of “poverty training,” he was subjected to insults and sarcasm, even bullying, that many people might not have imagined.
“By the way, it’s been more than 1 month, how come I haven’t seen you make a single phone call to your family? You’re not like me, your family is dead, right?” Leroy Davis’s heart was slightly touched, his mind could not help but appear, grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, counting from 7 years ago when he was sent to Chang’an to start poverty training, except a few months ago, in the hundred flower island to see grandpa once, mom and dad have not seen.
Leroy Davis’s nose turned sour and there was an extra circle of light in his eyes.
“Is it that your family also treats you gram thinly?” Lin Zhu suddenly asked. Leroy Davis was shocked and said, “No, I was thinking of my family before I got sentimental.
Lin Zhu looked at Leroy Davis in a daze, but somehow did not understand what his words meant, she seemed to think of something else, her gaze became somewhat gloomy: “My family members are all worse than one bad guy, the thought of them makes me hate my teeth!”
Leroy Davis was even more surprised, he didn’t expect Lin Zhu to have such feelings for her family: “What did your family do to you to make you hold such a grudge against them?” Lin Zhu looked at Leroy Davis with hatred: “Don’t mention them to me, they are dead, all dead!”
Lin Zhu finished, took a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai from the container and walked out of the food truck, Leroy Davis was afraid that something would happen to her and wanted to follow her, Lin Zhu said, “Get out, watch the store properly, if I come back and see you slacking off, I’ll deduct 1000 from you!”
After saying that, Lin Zhu ran away alone, and when she came back is more than an hour later, Lin Zhu changed back to the usual Lin Zhu, to Leroy Davis finger, and occasionally will be in Leroy Davis’s ass kicked on two, although kicked by Lin Zhu, but see her all right, Leroy Davis’s heart is very happy.
At night, when he returned to his rented house, Leroy Davis lay on his bed and looked up the information of Jiangnan University. Jiangnan University is located in Lin’an, a college in Zhejiang Province, second only to Zhejiang University, and will open in a few days. Leroy Davis thought that after that, he could do more business near Jiangnan University, so that there would be more chances to see Long Ling.
Leroy Davis put down the phone is trying to sleep, the phone suddenly lit up, Leroy Davis look at the number of Zhejiang Province, but can not guess who is coming.
Leroy Davis picked up anyway.
“Hello, Leroy Davis, it’s me, Fu Yu,” came the voice of Fu Yu on the phone.
“Fu Yu! How did you get my phone number?” Leroy Davis wondered.
“Hey, this is not simple, now QQ, WeChat are bound to the cell phone number, I asked someone to help me crack your micro signal, you can find out”
“Oh, what’s up?” Leroy Davis drifted off, again questioning the purpose of the call to Yuu, he and she hadn’t dealt with her much in high school, what did she mean by calling her.
“It’s like this, tomorrow in the Kempinski Hotel there is a meeting of our Chang’an people’s hometown, today is not met you, I want you to come together, to participate in the party are our Chang’an people living in Lin’an, it will also help you, come together?” Fu Yu said.
“I will not go, you go by yourself, thanks …” Leroy Davis just has the heart to attend, but the shy wallet is not allowed to him ah.
“Hey, you’re so boring, how can you refuse an invitation from such a beautiful woman like me? You’re still a bachelor, right? You really don’t know how to be in love,” Fu Yu said to Leroy Davis, and then said, “Are you afraid you can’t afford to pay for the meal? Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay, this time the hometown meeting is invited by a boss, 100 people can go, you can come together.”
“Uh …” Fu Yu invited him so enthusiastically, Leroy Davis is a bit bad to refuse, after all, he has nothing against Yu Yu, and do not need him to pay, pause a few seconds, Leroy Davis said: “All right, I’ll go with you.”
“Okay, tomorrow night at 8 o’clock, in the Kempinski Hotel box 304, you come yourself” Fu Yu finished, hung up the phone.
At this time, Fu Yu is sitting with Tian Xing in a beverage store in the commercial street drinking milk tea.
“Tian Xing, why did you ask me to drag Leroy Davis here, didn’t you say you hated him?” Fu Yu asked suspiciously.
“Yeah, it’s because I hate him so much that I let him come over here,” Tian Xing said as he sucked on his milk tea through a straw.
“Uh …” Fu Yu suddenly had a bad feeling, she felt like she was hurting Leroy Davis with that phone call just now, Fu Yu whispered, “Actually we are all high school classmates, what happened in high school Some of the unpleasant, laugh a bit also passed, you say it”
“No,” Tian Xing suddenly stared at Fu You: “If it weren’t for him, I would have gone to a university back then, or even to Peking University or Tsinghua University, and what school am I going to now? Lin’an Shuyin College, my whole life trajectory has been changed, heh, Fu Yu, do you know that because of this, my family my friends ridiculed me for two years? I want him to be ridiculed by millions of people, so that he can have a taste of what it’s like!”
“Uh …” Fu Yu also understand the year, which has nothing to do with Leroy Davis, is because in the examination room, Tian Xing’s pen refill out of oil, resulting in a breakdown of mind. But thinking that he may also have to ask for Tian Xing afterwards, Fu Yu is again shut up.
The next day, Leroy Davis and Lin Zhu drove the food truck to the West Lake scenic spot, which is a well-known attraction in the country. It is the end of summer vacation, and people seize this last time to come out for a trip, and the number of tourists on this day is particularly high, and Leroy Davis and their business is particularly good.
Leroy Davis had to tell Linzhu that he had to go to the hotel first to attend the old folks meeting, Linzhu did not allow it, but Leroy Davis had promised to pay you to go, he did not want to break the contract, and finally, Linzhu was verbally deducted 200 yuan from him, Leroy Davis was able to come out.
He had planned well to take a shower and change into clean clothes before going, but now he was in a hurry and Leroy Davis had to just head to the Kempinski Hotel.
While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, Leroy Davis’ cell phone rang again. Leroy Davis picked it up and saw that it wasn’t Puyo’s number, and he pressed the connect button.
“Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar voice and name, Leroy Davis’s mind was blurred and he froze in place.
“Ronelle …,” the woman said again, and before Leroy Davis could respond, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing was true.
“Lang’er, what’s wrong with you, it’s mommy ah, child, what’s wrong with you, why don’t you talk …” the woman on the other side of the phone was talking, her voice sounded a little anxious, Leroy Davis’ nose started to sour.
“Mom…” Leroy Davis’s throat was hot, like a feverish tumor had grown, and it was hard for him to speak, and before he knew it, tears had slipped from his eyes, and Leroy Davis wiped them away with his arm, but the hot tears came back in an endless stream.
“Hey, good boy, mommy misses you,” said Davis’ mother, Ming Ming Zhao.
“I miss you too,” Leroy Davis choked out.
“Good, son, we will meet in a while, I am now in Lin’an, son, mom has booked the best private room in the Sega Hotel, come over, let mom take a good look at you …”
“Really, Mom, you’ve really come to Lin’an!” Leroy Davis was overjoyed, and after hearing his mother’s affirmative answer, Leroy Davis added, “Mom, I have an appointment with someone now to go to a party, and when I’m done with the party, I’ll come to you right away”
“What a party, what’s the big deal about pushing it,” Zhao Mingming said.
“Mom, I already promised my classmates I’d go. Didn’t you and Dad teach me when I was a kid to keep my word? I’ll see you after I attend,” Leroy Davis said.
“Good son, mom’s words are always hanging in my heart, then good, you go to the party first, it just so happens that mom wants to go and talk to someone, after attending the party, come see me immediately” Zhao Mingming said.
Leroy Davis agreed and hung up the phone. Hanging up the phone, Leroy Davis’ eyes were still red, and others around the station looked at Leroy Davis in amazement, wondering if it was just his mother coming to see him in Lin’an. As for so excited?
The bus came, Leroy Davis jumped on the bus, found a seat and sat down, looking out the window at the passing street scene, Leroy Davis was lost in thought, the mind is all the images of childhood with his mother.
Leroy Davis remembers that his mother was very strict and doting on him. Once, he played with his cousin and accidentally smashed his cousin’s mouth, so his uncle came with his cousin to ask for punishment and wanted to beat Leroy Davis, but his mother didn’t allow him to do so and brought up a lot of reasons to make his uncle leave. Leroy Davis stood for a morning before his mother let him go.
When Leroy Davis Jr. was 6 years old, his parents were promoted to head of the family’s Southern Europe region and left the country, so they could only see Leroy Davis Jr. during New Year’s Eve each year.
Leroy Davis couldn’t help but think of things from his childhood, when the bus arrived.
As Leroy Davis got off the bus, he could see a towering building from afar, none other than the Kempinski Hotel.
Leroy Davis walked over to the hotel and was about to go in when he suddenly saw an old woman pushing a bicycle next to the hotel with a high pile of plastic and corrugated paper on it.
In the process of picking up, Leroy Davis chatted with the granny, only to learn that the granny’s son had unfortunately died in a car accident.
“Thank you, young man,” the grandmother thanked Leroy Davis and looked at him with a bit of fascination, her old eyes were wet and she sighed: “If my son were alive, he would be like you, young man, can you call me “Mom”?
Leroy Davis saw the starlight of expectation in the granny’s eyes, and thought of how sad he was when he had not seen his mother for seven years, and how miserable the granny was when she was separated from her son.
“Mom …” this cry out, touching Leroy Davis’s love silk, Leroy Davis is also can not help but fall a few tears.
“Hey …” the old lady cried and laughed, she took out 10 yuan from her pocket: “Young man, you take it, the old lady thank you so much”
Leroy Davis could not accept it, but the granny insisted on giving it to Leroy Davis. Leroy Davis knew it would be hard not to accept the granny’s heart, so he said thank you and accepted it, and the granny pushed the cart away trembling, and Leroy Davis dried his tears and went into the hotel.
Not far from a BMW, a driver said to the boss sitting in the back: “Boss, now this young man is really shameless, not just to help the old woman pick up the plastic, but also cheeky to ask for 10 yuan, this person is thinking of money crazy, right?”
