Rebirth in 1993, My Dad is a Returned Youth

Chapter 116 Lin Weihua Calls

Li Kang looked at the people still sitting at the dinner table.

They all had smiles on their faces, but each time, there were fewer and fewer people sitting at the table.

I always feel like there will be one less tomorrow.

"That Editor-in-Chief Lin should be Meixia's father."

"Come on, Li Kang, have another drink."

Liu Jun was a little overconfident and even dared to challenge Li Kang to a drinking contest.

Just because someone doesn't like drinking doesn't mean they can't drink.

His body was wobbling as if he would fall down at any moment.

"Uncle Jun, can you still drink?"

"Drink! Who said I can't drink?"

Chen Lijuan snatched the small wine glass from his hand and said, "Don't drink it. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

Li Kang breathed a sigh of relief, the less he could drink the better.

Lest you be unable to pick up the pen for a while.

He wants to write the manuscript now.

He burped and enjoyed the two dishes I made in the evening.

The green shrimps in Shanghai's small rivers are really plump and have firm meat, which is perfect with his cooking skills.

Very tasty.

The bucket of shrimps that we brought back weighed about four or five pounds. After all of them were peeled and divided into small pieces, they filled a large basin.

All of it was eaten by their three children.

As for snail meat, the whole family eats it.

Liu Guangqing was full of praise after eating it.
"You outsiders really know how to cook it. We didn't know snail meat tastes so delicious."

The key is to make it into a dish to go with wine, which is very suitable.

It can be predicted that the number of snails in ditches will decrease sharply in the future.

Ding ~ Ding ~
"A phone call?"

"I'll go answer it." Li Kang stood up and left the table.

There’s no other way, I have to leave some space for a late-night snack.

When Li Kang went out to buy meat for Dahuang, he discovered that there was a night market nearby.

There are still some small stalls prepared for those workers who work the night shift.

It just so happens that Li Kang, a foodie, also likes their snacks.

"Hello. This is Liu Guangqing's house."

"Hello, I'm Lin Weihua! Are you Li Kang?"

"!!!"

……

After a painful struggle, Lin Weihua still wanted to call his daughter to talk about

Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was a boy.

His intuition told him that the person talking to him might be Li Kang.

He was just guessing.

I didn't expect that he guessed it right.

"Hello, Uncle Lin. Meixia is washing the dishes. Do you want me to call her over?"

"Not for now. Since you answered the phone, it's the same as talking to you."

"I heard that Meixia trusts you very much. Thank you for taking care of Meixia during this period of time."

Li Kang was a little flattered. He didn't expect that Lin Weihua knew them so well. However, it might just be a polite remark.

Liu Guangqing didn’t know whether he said it or not.

"Uncle Lin, it is my duty to take care of Meixia. It is my honor to have Meixia's trust. I like such a good girl very much."

When Lin Weihua heard what Li Kang said, his eyelids twitched wildly.

It felt like Li Kang was declaring Meixia's sovereignty in front of her biological father.

Li Kang actually had no other intention, he just wanted to stand up for Meixia.

He wants to be Meixia's solid backing, and he will be there for her whenever she is bullied.

Lin Weihua was silent for a few seconds, then said in a hoarse voice: "Can you tell me about your journey? It must not be easy to come from Yunnan to Shanghai."

It is indeed not easy. It takes three days and two nights just to take the slow train.

Li Kang naturally described the process in the most tragic way. …

"During this trip, the five of us ate one pack of instant noodles together."

(According to research, there were various brands of instant noodles in 93, and it was two years later that the big brands we are familiar with, such as Master Kong and Uni-President, appeared.)
"When I'm thirsty, I can only pick up some water bottles that others have left over, with a few drops of water left in them."

"There was hot water on the train, but we didn't have cups and didn't dare to take it."

At that time, the hot water supply on the train was mainly provided after the train arrived at a station, when staff would come with thermos bottles to pour water for people who wanted to make instant noodles.

Free.

Lin Weihua knew what was happening on the train.

For a few poor kids, a three-day and two-night train ride is definitely not an easy task.

"You guys have suffered so much. It's a blessing for them to have a good brother like you."

"I also know your father, Li Jianhua. I didn't expect that he would have such a promising son."

"Uncle Lin, do you know Li Jianhua? What kind of person is he?"

In front of Lin Weihua, Li Kang did not call Li Jianhua by any other name.

Calling someone by their first name shows your attitude.

"He is a very outstanding person. He is the best student in our class right now."

"You can ask him for some money, and maybe you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. It's up to you whether you want to stay in Shanghai or go back to Yunnan."

Lin Weihua hopes that Li Kang will return to Yunnan.

His daughter is too dependent on him. How can he develop a relationship with Meixia in the future?

As a father, I will also be jealous of my daughter.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that if Li Kang went back, Meixia would never stay in Yunnan.

Who made Meixia completely devoted to Li Kang?

Just as I didn't go back for a while, Meixia followed me.

"Brother Kang, who are you talking to on the phone?" She walked over and pressed her soft body close to Li Kang.

The relationship between the two has become so close.

If Lin Weihua saw this, he would probably be shocked.

"It's Meixia coming over. Do you want to talk to her?"

"..."

"Don't use it for now. Don't tell her it was me who called."

Lin Weihua hadn't figured out how to talk to Meixia.

If Meixia had asked him the first question: "Why did you abandon me and my mother?"

In the past, he could have explained it by saying that there were limited places to enter the city.

But now he is the editor-in-chief of "Harvest" and has a certain social status, so it is quite easy for him to bring the mother and daughter to Shanghai.

Besides, it’s not easy to explain Luo Linxiang’s matter to her.

"Thank you for bringing Meixia over tomorrow. I will thank you in person."

"Okay then! I'll come over tomorrow." Li Kang agreed readily.

But in his heart he felt a little disdainful, "You still want us to go there, why don't you come here yourself."

If Meixia hadn't been beside him, he would have definitely confronted Lin Weihua directly.

"Still a man!"

……

"The magazine called me just now and asked me to come over for a face-to-face chat tomorrow."

Meixia hugged Li Kang tightly, as if afraid that he would run away, "Then I want to go too. I don't want to be separated from Brother Kang again."

Li Kang felt that Meixia was so attached to him, and he didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Meixia, if you see your father, will you still go to his house?"

The little girl just wanted to snuggle up to Li Kang and never thought about these issues.

I used to think my father was very important, but now Brother Kang is more important.

"I—I don't know." The little girl couldn't make up her mind.

"Brother Kang, what do you think I should do? I don't want to be separated from you."

Li Kang pinched her cheeks, which felt good. "It seems like your skin has become whiter."

"After you find your father, you should go to his place first. Brother Kang has no place to live now."

"When Brother Kang becomes rich, I will take you back."
