Obligations of the elderly

Xiliu invested a lot of money here to get a house on the floating island, but Marlon Emin and the others directly lived in the house on the main island of Puzhou ← Mr. Delin actually has a house here!After the students all went to the university here, he finally remembered this matter. When he said goodbye to Marlon Emin, he directly found out the key and gave it to them.

"There should be three rooms. You three groups of partners can barely squeeze together. Although students Gongsi and Xiliu have already found a good room, let's reserve a room for them. I hope you can do it as often as before in this strange continent. Party." Teacher Delin said with a smile.

"Mr. Delin is too good, isn't he? This is a house in Puzhou, there is no stream. Could it be that he is from Puzhou?" Gong Si grinned.

"Where is the house?" Hearing their conversation, Boss Gadlin asked casually, and waited until Malone took out the map: "Oh, it's quite close to University City, to be exact, it's closer to Puzhou University, But you have to be mentally prepared, the houses over there are all old houses, if there are people living in it, it’s okay, if no one lives in it, it will be very old, you’d better buy some cleaning tools to go there.”

After finishing speaking, he fried another plate of seafood stew and put it among several people: "The free entertainment for you is regarded as employee benefits."

"Wow! It smells so good! Ah Si, your boss is good!" Malone said, yelled, and quickly stretched out the fork in his hand to insert it into the plate.

They didn't stay here for too long. After the part-time work in the palace was over, and after saying goodbye to Boss Gadlin, they went to the store to buy a complete set of cleaning tools, and then walked towards Mr. Delin's house together. .

They also took a gear car, although this time the gear car is not Huo Nan, but it is also a tool that Gongsi knows, Huo Nan is a warm person, under his introduction, Gongsi is already very familiar with the gear cars around here up.

"Oh my god! The car was really changed by a human? This feels so strange!" When the gear car greeted Gongsi, Malone also "listened" and cut it. It is one thing to have this habit, but it is a new feeling to actually see it, or even sit in it in person.

The two of them came here by the city's small trackless train, probably because they encountered a quiet device, and they ignored them, so they didn't know that these devices were actually people.

Nilu performed much better than him: "We didn't know how to get to the tavern when we came here, but Mr. Gear Car told us. Looking for a house, and also provided me with a lot of advice on renting a house!"

"The person you mentioned is most likely Huo Nan. I'll introduce you to him later. I found my job thanks to him." After listening to Ni Lu's description, Gong Si was basically sure who that person was.

After taking the gear car four more times, they finally arrived at the University City. Nilu and Xingyun had already visited here beforehand. Malone and Amin arrived late and hadn't had time to come here. This time, they happened to come here to recognize someone place, and then they took the gear car down and came to the empty Puzhou University.

"If I hadn't learned a little bit from Ah Si in advance, I really couldn't believe that this is Puzhou University." Xingyun also felt emotional.

Puzhou University is one of the best universities in the mainland, and this one is often erased by people.

"If you come here during the day, it will be what we saw in the brochure." Xiliu smiled, and then led a few people to the direction of Teacher Delin's house on the map.

Crossing the commercial street next to the school, Mr. Delin's home is further down.Like other residential houses on the Puzhou mainland, this is also a mushroom house of different heights, fat and thin.When they came over, it was already quite dark, and the lights were on in every house, and the shadows of people were reflected on the glass windows from time to time. It was lively inside, with the sound of fried rice and the sound of TV.

"It looks like the sound insulation is not very good." Xingyun said.

"It's the one with the black light on the left." Xiliu made sure.

"Okay." Excited and looking forward to it, Malone took out the key and unlocked the door: "Speaking of which, we have never been to Teacher Delin's house! I heard that he lives in the staff dormitory, ah! I don't know What is Mr. Delin's house like? This should be the place where Mr. Delin lived when he was young, right? I heard that the layout of the house can reflect the personality of the owner, so I'm curious—"

The door was pushed open smoothly, and Malone found the light switch on the side of the door according to his habit, and with a "click", the room was brightly lit——

A pink world is revealed.

The not-so-spacious entrance—light pink and light pink; the shoe cabinet on the left side of the entrance—rose pink pink; from the floor of the entrance all the way forward, the carpet leading to the deeper secrets of Mr. Delin...is purple. Pink and purple... ah...

Opening his mouth, Malone reached out and tried to glue his lips back together.

Turning to look at Amin, Xingyun, Nilu and others with complex expressions behind them... Even in this situation, Malone still defended Teacher Delin without hesitation:

"What kind of expressions do you guys have! Can't men wear pink? Emin still has several pink T-shirts! When he was studying history, he read it. A long time ago, men and women Blue is the correct color for gender classification, and pink is the exclusive color for men!"

As Malone said, he took off his shoes and was about to go in and visit Teacher Delin's room. Then, he saw a living room with the same powder in the first room on the left hand side of the corridor. On the right hand side was a pink kitchen and a pink bathroom. …even the bathtub is pink.

I haven't gone upstairs yet, but it can be seen from the pink stairs that there is a high probability that the top is also fresh and tender...

Malone is still convincing himself that Xingyun and the others already feel that something is wrong.

Xingyun, who was still standing at the shoe cabinet, first touched the shoe cabinet, raised his finger to look at it, and then opened the shoe cabinet——

"There are people living here."

"Well, it should be a woman." Standing on the stream in the bathroom, he said, his eyes fell on the small paper bag placed on the toilet.

"What is that?" Gong Si asked casually.

"Wei x towel." Xiliu said.

"What?" Gong Si didn't understand.

"Necessary sanitary products for women during their menstrual period." Xiliu said with a smile.

This time Gongsi understands, for a young man of this age, women's menstrual period and so on... still feel embarrassed to hear it! With a "snap", he directly closed the small pink door of the bathroom.

Xiliu then smiled and pulled the door out by himself.

"There are two pairs of shoes in the shoe cabinet. Although they are not pink, they look like women's shoes. One pair is still slippers. The other party should be out." Xingyun also shared his observation results: "Everywhere in the room is clean, It can almost be described as spotless, this is by no means a room where no one lives in, no matter where the house is, if no one lives there for a long time, it must be easy to break down, this house is in great condition."

"There are still cans in the refrigerator, and the production date was yesterday." Amin closed the refrigerator door and said indifferently.

"So it's not Teacher Delin who likes pink." Malone immediately said happily.

Among the people at the scene, he was the only one who was still struggling with this problem, and everyone else had one question in mind:

"The key Malone got can open the door. Xiliu didn't misread the map. This is indeed Teacher Delin's home. That's right. Teacher Delin also told you that the house here has been unoccupied for a long time, which means he Did not give the right to use this place to anyone other than Malone and you, so..." Gongsi looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the door panel, where he vaguely heard someone holding the key: "No Who is the person who invited himself to live here?"

Together with him, everyone turned their eyes to the pink metal door, and then, with another "click", the pink door opened, revealing a petite figure outside.

Wearing work overalls, carrying a huge windshield in his hands, and a heavy tool bag on his waist, although the exposed face looks a bit strange, but this familiar figure——

Who is not a black refiner? !

Seeing so many strangers in the room, the girl yelled: "Oh my God! Who are you?! How did you show up in my house!"

"Hey! We should be asking you this question, right? This is Teacher Delin's house, but he said that he never gave the key here to anyone other than us. If so, how did you appear here? ?" Malone didn't know her, he crossed his arms and hugged his shoulders, and he was tall and burly pressing towards the girl.

"What's the matter? Has a thief broken into your house?"

"Bella, are you okay?"

"My God! So many people!"

Outside the door, accompanied by strange voices, a group of strange men, women and children appeared behind the girl, some with spoons in their hands, some with shovels, uh... At this time, many people are still at dinner time, and they Probability is cooking.

The girl froze for a moment, she was too surprised just now, she didn't control the volume well, most people probably heard her, thought she had encountered something here, that's why so many people rushed over.

She couldn't hold back her voice for a while, and it got louder. Seeing that the neighbors in the neighborhood came to help one after another, she turned around and stopped the neighbors in a panic:

"No, it's okay, it's De, Mr. Delin's students are here." She had a good memory, and immediately grasped the key words in Malone's mouth, and used them by the way.

"Delin? I know, I almost forgot the name if you didn't mention it, but he is a teacher..." said an aunt with a hair protection cap on her head.

"Well, Mr. Delin is our teacher at Jiling College. Now that we have all been admitted to the university in Puzhou, Mr. Delin gave me the key to his house and asked us to live here." Taking a step forward, Gong Let's explain.

"Ji Ling Academy? That's an amazing academy! That fellow Delin is a teacher of such an amazing academy! You can't tell—" The aunt was amazed.

"Derlin is a quiet child. Unlike you, he often stayed alone since he was a child, and he didn't live here for a long time. He left soon. He didn't come back until his uncle passed away and gave him the house. Take a trip..." A trembling old man next to him recalled.

"By the way, this is also the first time you two met. Let me introduce, this child is Bella, the sister of Delin's uncle's wife's uncle's aunt's aunt... If you live together in the future, you must take care of each other! Another enthusiastic aunt interrupted from the side, and this is how she introduced the girl in front of her.

"But Bella, you shouldn't be called Teacher Delin, you should call him... what should you call him?" An old grandmother was about to point her out, but she only started, thinking of the intricate "relationship" between the girl and Delin, the old lady The wife felt that her intermittent Alzheimer's disease was about to be committed.

"It's too complicated, so let's call Teacher Delin!" Bella said, pushing the neighbors away: "Okay, okay, Grandpa Deya, you should be playing chess with someone, right? Go back quickly , or the chess players will not be able to wait."

This was said to the old man who just spoke, and the old man pinched a chess piece in his hand.

"Aunt Beifate, your food is all mushy, I can smell it." This is the enthusiastic aunt.

……

In this way, the neighbors were sent away one by one, smiling and waving at them, the girl closed the door again, leaning against the door panel, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she looked cautiously at Malone and the others. Nervous and scared, but when she saw Gong Si, she suddenly let out an "ah".

"You are a waiter in a tavern!" Pointing at Gong Si's nose, the girl called out.

When Gong Si came to talk, she didn't bother to look at Gong Si's face at all, but now that she observed him carefully, she recognized him immediately.

"It turns out that your name is not Hei, but Bella." Gong Si raised his eyebrows and said.

"The name is just a code name. I'm called Hei over there." The girl said, because of Gong Si's presence, she didn't seem so nervous.

As she spoke, she suddenly frowned, bent her body slightly, and was about to walk over the palace and others to the kitchen, when she suddenly tilted her body and looked about to fall, but luckily Nilu supported her.

"Are you sick?" Helping her to the lazy sofa in the living room, Ni Lu looked at Xingyun at that moment, and in the next second, he turned into Xingyun's hands in front of the girl.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you, we can help you treat it!" ’ Nilu said to her.

After working as a doctor in the second and third cities of the East for a period of time, Nilu became more confident.

However, the girl's face turned red, she stretched out her hand to push Xingyun away, she said in a rough voice, "I'm not sick! I don't need your treatment—"

But Gongsi thought of something and stopped Xingyun and Nilu: "She should be fine, Xingyun, you go and boil a pot of hot water, I'll get her something to eat, at this hour, you probably haven't eaten, right? "

The last sentence was addressed to the girl, and after glancing at the palace, the girl did not refuse this time.

After searching in the kitchen, the palace also asked Emin to go to the nearby store to buy some food. This is a residential area nearby, so shopping is convenient. After a while, the smell of food wafted from the pink room.

Nesting weakly on the sofa, holding the hot water that Nilu just brought her in his hand, although Marlon was still sitting on the opposite side and staring at her, watching her, but the girl squinted her eyes, her expression Visibly relaxed.

It's been a long time since the days when the room smelled of hot food...

The steaming steam covered her face, she remained silent until Gong Si put a plate of fried rice in front of her.

"It smells so good, is there any more Ah Si? I'm suddenly hungry again." After rubbing his stomach, Malone finally averted his eyes from the little girl.

Ai Min didn't speak, but looked at Gongsi together silently.

Use your chin to show the position of the kitchen: "Go and serve it yourself, but there are no extra plates, so you two will eat with the pot?"

"Success!" Malone didn't mind such trivial matters at all, and immediately passed by.

When they brought out the pot, the three gobbled it up together.

After they were full, the palace poured hot tea for several people: the disposable cups and tea bags were bought by Ai Min just now.

Seeing the unbearable pain disappear from the little girl's face, Gong Si finally started talking to her.

"Tell me, what's going on here? Why do you live in Teacher Delin's house? There should be no one living in his house." He contacted Teacher Delin while cooking, and knew that there was an extra child in his house. Girl, Teacher Delin was obviously surprised too.

Curling her lips, the girl squinted uncomfortably at the carpet below: "As you may have guessed, I'm renting here."

"Borrow?" Malone raised his eyebrows.

The girl's shoulders slumped: "Well, I came to live there uninvited."

"Tell me." The expression on Gong Si's face remained the same, motioning for her to continue.

"I usually like to walk on the roof. If I see a damaged roof, I will repair it habitually. I am used to it, you know." The girl looked at the palace, then turned her gaze, and then looked at the ground , and then continued: "I saw this house five years ago. At first I found that her roof was broken. I wanted to help her repair it, but I accidentally fell in through the hole in the roof. After entering, I found The situation inside was even worse. I wanted to talk to the owner, but later I found out that the house was not lived in at all. There was no way, I couldn’t let the house be so dilapidated, so I repaired her. At that time, I didn’t have a house Live! I just want to live here for a while..."

As she spoke, her voice suddenly increased: "I use all the best materials! Including the repair fee, I have paid the accommodation fee!"

Although the voice is high, it is more like a lack of confidence.

Gong Si and the others didn't speak for a long time. After a while, when the little girl couldn't help but peek at them, she realized that Gong Si's dark eyes were still looking at her quietly. She was startled by his appearance. The girl heard Gong Si suddenly speak: "Where's your house?"

The back was obviously stiff, and the girl said after a while: "I have no home."

"After Dad died, the house was taken away, and I have no home." Bella whispered.

"Father? You mean... the person who adopted you?" Gong Si thought for a while, but said it directly. He didn't shy away from the fact that he had checked the girl's information in the newspaper.

The purple eyes stayed quietly on Gong Si's face for a while, and the girl nodded: "That's right, it's Dad."

"After the man and woman left me in the hospital, my father who was hospitalized in the same hospital adopted me, and I grew up with my father." She said straightforwardly.

"No, if it's your adoptive father, shouldn't you be able to inherit his estate? Including the house..." Malone asked.

He was somewhat educated about Puzhou. For example, houses in Puzhou mainland cannot be bought and sold. Everyone does not own the land in this continent, but they have the right to use it and can own a house in Puzhou mainland. People are the descendants of the survivors, they are tacitly allowed to have the right to use the houses they first lived in, which can be inherited, but outsiders can't, for example, even if Xiliu invested a considerable amount of money, he can get what he can get. It can only be a floating island plus a house on the floating island. He cannot get a house on Puzhou mainland.

The little girl's expression darkened: "It's all to blame for that couple! When I left, I didn't make it clear. The law here in Puzhou stipulates that if the biological father and mother are not dead, if they have stated that they give up the custody of the child, the child cannot be taken care of." Adopted! So my father and I are not legally... not father and daughter..."

She was a little reluctant to say this.

Immediately afterwards, her voice raised again: "But it doesn't matter whether the law recognizes it or not, I am my father's child, and my father is my father!"

"It doesn't matter that the house is gone, the house is still there, now it's a candy store, the new owner loves her, and she has a new mushroom roof! It doesn't matter that the structure of the house has been changed, I remember everything in it , it doesn’t matter if the furniture inside was thrown out, I... I picked them all up..."

As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly, but when she raised her head, everyone could clearly see that there were no tears in her eyes, only optimism and tenacity.

Standing up from the lazy sofa, the girl stretched out her finger to the side: "My father bought these furniture for me. My father said that girls want to be pink!"

Well, it turned out that the color scheme was drawn up by the "father" who had never met. Gong Si and the others finally understood the weird pink plot in this room.

"Mr. Delin, that's what happened." Gong Si suddenly said, seeing him pick up the phone in his hand and seeing Teacher Delin's smiling face on the screen, everyone realized that Gong Si's phone had been on the screen all along. In the call state, he was actually on a video call with Teacher Delin all the time!

"Oh, I understand, let me take a look at this house." After he finished speaking, Gong Si picked up his phone and walked around the room.

"Very good, this house is well cared for," Teacher Delin said.

"Mr. Delin, Xiliu and I don't need to live here every day. We're on the floating island above, and it's pretty good over there." Gong Si said suddenly. Others still didn't understand what he meant, but Teacher Delin nodded. up.

"I remember that there are three bedrooms in this house. Since Gongsi and Xiliu have already found a good house, then Gongsi and your room will be given to this... Bella." Teacher Delin said, wondering Not knowing how to address Bella, he simply habitually added a classmate as a suffix.

"Let me have a few words with Bella." Teacher Delin said to Gong Si, and Gong Si immediately put the phone in front of Bella.

Thus, the bewildered Bella came face to face with the wrinkled teacher Delin.

Teacher Delin first looked at Bella carefully, and then said: "You are a good boy, and this house is well maintained by you."

Then he said: "Students Gongsi and the others are also good boys. In the days to come, I hope you can get along happily."

"Then, good night to everyone." Teacher Delin said, took a sip of tea from the cup in his hand, and then waved to everyone.

Putting the phone away, Gong Si looked at the girl: "Okay, the owner of the house has agreed, you can continue to live here."

"This time, it's legal."

Staring at Gong Si dumbfounded, the girl opened her mouth and finally opened her arms, she cheered.
