After Bai Lin said goodbye to Xiao Yueyue, he returned to the dormitory alone.
When he returned to the East District neighborhood, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and took a look. The caller note showed his mother.
"Mom? Why is she calling me now?" Bai Lin said to himself in confusion.
But he didn't think much, answered the call, and raised the phone to his ear.
"Hello? Mom?"
"Son, what happened to the child Yutong? I heard that she took the train home last night?" asked Ms. Chen Rong on the other side of the phone.
Bai Lin was stunned by his mother's question.
Liu Yutong went home?
Before Bai Lin could answer, Ms. Chen Rong over there continued to ask: "Son, did you have a quarrel with Yutong? Last night, Yutong's child called you Uncle Liu. I heard that he cried for a long time. …”
Bai Lin was silent for a brief moment.
He did not tell his parents about his breakup with Liu Yutong, so in the eyes of his mother, Ms. Chen Rong, he and Liu Yutong were still boyfriend and girlfriend.
So Liu Yutong suddenly took a car home overnight. Ms. Chen Rong's first reaction was naturally that the two of them had quarreled or had a conflict.
After all, Liu Yutong had been spoiled by Bai Lin since she was a child, and her personality was somewhat willful. It was not impossible for her to get into a car and go home in a rage after a quarrel or conflict.
"Mom, Liu Yutong and I broke up." Bai Lin said calmly.
Ms. Chen Rong on the other end of the phone immediately fell silent when she heard the news.
Obviously this news was a bit shocking to her, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
In her eyes, anyone with a discerning eye could see how deep her son's feelings for Liu Yutong were. How could such an unexpected breakup not be shocking?
"Son, you were so good, why did you suddenly break up?" Ms. Chen Rong asked on the other end of the phone.
Bai Lin could tell from her tone that the news shocked his mother quite a bit.
"She is pregnant, the child is Chen Cheng's, and she cheated on her," Bai Lin said.
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
Ms. Chen Rong knew to some extent the relationship between Bai Lin, Chen Cheng and Bai Lin.
The three of them are neighbors who grew up together. It can be said that they have been playing in the mud together since they were wearing crotchless pants. Because Chen Cheng has not been in good health since he was a child, Bai Lin and Liu Yutong also take good care of him.
However, during this process, Chen Cheng seemed to have gradually become a little proud of his favor, and felt that Liu Yutong and Bai Lin's concessions to him and their care for him were all obligations.
And this kid especially likes to compete with Bai Lin. No matter what, Chen Cheng will try his best to compare with Bai Lin.
At first, Bai Lin's parents and Chen Cheng's parents didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a competitive mentality among children.
After all, children like to compete with people who are better than themselves when they were young; they also experienced this when they were young.
So I didn't take it too seriously.
They all thought that when Chen Cheng grew up, he would no longer be so keen on such childish comparisons.
In fact, after Chen Cheng and Bai Lin entered junior high school, they seldom competed with Bai Lin, and their personalities gradually became calmer.
Everyone thought that Chen Cheng's personality had changed as he grew up, but later Bai Lin realized that it was just the poisonous snake starting to hide its fangs.
Bai Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about those old memories.
For him now, everything with Liu Yutong and Chen Cheng is in the past. There is no need to recall those not-so-good times with his mother to make her worry and to cause trouble for himself.
"Mom, how's the situation at home lately?" Bai Lin suddenly changed the topic and didn't want to continue Liu Yutong's topic.
Ms. Chen Rong on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then she replied: "What else can I do? It's time to eat, and it's time to go to work."
"I mean, how is your waist lately?" He said, "Is the pain still severe recently?"
Chen Rong on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "Your dad found me an order a few days ago, and the effect is quite good. It has relaxed a lot these days."
Bai Lin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mom, if your waist is really weak, you can find a more leisurely position."
Chen Rong has always had some problems with her lumbar spine, and Ms. Chen Rong's job has always required her to stand for long periods of time, so even after a lot of treatment, there is still no sign of relief.
Chen Rong on the other side of the phone sighed softly and said, "Oh, this position is very expensive. The monthly salary for those positions that I have been hired for is less than half of my current position."
Bai Lin's family conditions are actually very ordinary, not very wealthy. The couple works together, and their monthly salary is just enough to live on and still have some surplus.
This is the family condition of most people.
Fortunately, apart from student loans, the Berlin family has no other liabilities, so the burden on his parents' shoulders is not that heavy.
In fact, as a child, Bai Lin naturally hopes that his parents will change their jobs to more leisurely jobs.
And he has told his parents more than once that if it doesn't work out, just change jobs.
Just imagine seeing parents who are only in their forties with all kinds of medicine plastered on their backs. Wouldn’t that child feel distressed?
What's more, now Bai Lin can not only support himself and live a very nourishing life, but he can even feed his parents back every month.
Now, he is fully capable of letting his parents sit at home and enjoy happiness.
But his suggestions were undoubtedly rejected by his parents.
In Chen Rong's words at the time: "The money you make now is not much and it is not stable. You may need help from me and your dad in many cases, so don't think about these problems now." "
In the end, the idea of trying to get my parents to change jobs came to nothing.
"Mom, I have no problem with my own living expenses here. I don't have to do so much heavy work anymore. After working hard all my life, it's time to change to a more leisurely position." Bai Lin tried to persuade again.
The person on the phone just sighed softly, and then answered vaguely: "Let's talk about it later, I'm getting ready to go to work, hang up first."
Bai Lin wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, Ms. Chen Rong had already hung up the phone.
Bai Lin knew that his attempt to persuade her to change jobs had failed again.
But Bai Lin would not give up so easily.
No matter what, we must find a way to let parents find a leisurely job.
It's best to retire early.
Anyway, with Bai Lin's current income, let alone a successful career, there is absolutely no problem in sending ten to twenty thousand yuan home every month.
Bai Lin put his phone in his pocket and had some preliminary ideas in his mind.
"It seems that we have to fall into a trap..."
