Chapter 4 Requests for Help and Extortion
Du Qiu walked out of Yuncheng University from the south gate, found a bus stop nearby, checked the route map to the auto parts city, and planned to find his own father, traveled through time and cleared all social relationships, without identity, resume, and friends. In a sense, he is no different from a newborn baby now, and there is no one else to ask for help except for his biological parents.
Of course, as a physical traveling party, in the eyes of his parents in 1995, he was a complete stranger. How to meet, make friends, and ask for help, he had to think carefully...
It’s okay for my biological father to say, but men are not very particular anyway, so they will pass by just a little vaguely, but what should I do if my biological mother calls her sister or sister-in-law?
Du Qiu himself didn't know what he was feeling now. It was absurd, excited, funny, excited, etc. mixed together, messy and messy. In order to relieve this emotion, he bought a can of Coke in a small shop on the side of the road, and exchanged the 5 yuan banknote for 1 yuan coin. However, after getting on the bus, he realized that he was thinking too much because there was a special ticket seller inside, which gave him a personal understanding of the huge differences between the two eras in 2016 and 1995. Then he drank Coke all the way, looking at the street scenes of the tall buildings and broken walls, and the interweaving trends and traditions, and I couldn't help but think of two sentences at the beginning of the novel "The Tale of the Two Cities".
This is the best time, this is the worst time...
There is everything in front of people, there is nothing in front of people...
The bus started and stopped, and the transfer was transferred. It took more than an hour to get to the auto parts city. After getting off the bus, Du Qiu walked around according to his vague memories. After searching for nearly 20 minutes, he found a store with the signature "Dawei Auto Parts". This was the store opened by his father when he was young. The store business was very deserted. Except for a listless guy at the door, he saw no one else.
It is said that children's memories will be forgotten as their baby teeth fall off, so adults will only remember what happened after they are 6 years old, and almost forget what they are before they are 6 years old. Even if they are not forgotten, they can only remember some vague clips. Du Qiu didn't know if this theory is true, but he really couldn't remember how his parents spoke and did things when they were 5 years old. He only remembered their youthful appearance through photos. Therefore, after finding the store, he did not rush in, but stood across the street to observe.
After waiting for about four or five minutes, Du Qiu saw a middle-aged man wearing a brown leather jacket walking out of the shop. It was his biological father Lin Dawei. At this time in January 1995, Du Qiu's name was Lin Jinyan, but in a few months, his biological father and his biological mother divorced. He followed his biological mother Du Chunhua and changed it to his current name.
My dad seemed to be a little shorter than I thought when he was young...
But I still have a slut bag as usual, full of hair spray, do you think I am Chow Yun-fat...
After Du Qiu calmed down the absurdity and tension in his heart with his feelings and complaints, he was about to go over to find his father to have a relationship. At this time, a taxi drove over and walked out from it. A woman wearing a red windbreaker and wavy hair rushed into Lin Dawei's arms without any scruples in public, and a warm kiss was printed on his cheek.
I'll wipe it!
Dad, you are a family, can you keep a low profile by picking up girls...
Du Qiu originally planned to borrow a few hundred yuan from his father in the name of a "defeated fellow villager". It was difficult from 0 to 1, and it was easy from 1 to 100. As long as he had capital, even if it was a few hundred yuan, he could play a lot of tricks in time traveling through the party, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Lin Dawei and the woman in red were in love with me at the door of the store for a while, and then greeted the shopkeeper and sat in his second-hand smuggled Honda car. It seemed that he wanted to drive the girl to happy.
Fortunately, there was no way out, and a Xiali taxi happened to drive over. Du Qiu hurriedly stopped him, took a seat in and ordered: "Follow the car in front."
I hope my dad won't drive too far, otherwise I can't afford the fare...
The prayer worked. Lin Dawei didn't drive far away. He stopped after only a few traffic lights. However, Du Qiu was surprised because it was a four-star hotel that had just opened. It seemed that he wanted to open a room with a woman in red in broad daylight to do some indescribable activities.
I'll go! I'll have an affair on the first day of the New Year...
Scumbag! No wonder my mom wants to divorce you...
Du Qiu immediately had a new idea. He squatted behind the flower bed outside the hotel, used flowers and plants to block the view of passers-by, took out his cell phone from his backpack, turned on the recording function after turning on the phone, hid in his pants pocket and walked towards the hotel. When he walked to the door, a uniformed guard waved his arms and drove him in a bad tone: "Let's go! I'll pick up rags and go to other places, we don't have them here."
Su Wenhai's clothes are old and not fit in size. The sweater on top is tight and the shoulders are tight. The legs on the bottom are short. The whole person looks funny and shabby, and it looks a bit like a rag. Fortunately, Du Qiu has a flexible mind and reacts quickly. He opened his backpack and shouted loudly in Japanese: "Why are you stopping me? I'm here to discuss business. If something goes wrong, you have to be responsible!"
The backpack is square in shape, with exquisite material, and a bit in business style. It looks very high-end. When the guard saw that it was a valuable laptop inside and spoke Japanese, he thought he was really a foreign guest, so he quickly apologized and let it go. After Du Qiu entered the door, he looked around and saw Lin Dawei and the woman in red walking towards the elevator hand in hand. It was obvious that the check-in procedures had been completed. He hurriedly trotted a few steps and followed.
Du Qiu's messy clothes were seriously inconsistent with the bright and beautiful environment, and it was impossible not to be noticed. Therefore, as soon as he approached, the woman in red turned her head and looked at him with curious eyes, and said, "Dawei, look at this man is so strange. She is dressed like a beggar, but she is holding a very beautiful bag."
Lin Dawei was less than 30 years old at this time, and he was very energetic and cool. He nodded, raised his chin, and asked like a gang leader, "Brother, where did you buy this bag?"
Brothers and sisters! I am your son, my biological son...
Du Qiu was amused and cried, and felt absurdity in his heart again. He rolled his eyes secretly, then continued to pretend to be a Japanese, and said in Japanese: "Your taste is too bad, so you should reflect on your lifestyle."
"It turns out that it's a Japanese devil, and there are so many devils who grow so tall?" Lin Dawei is about 1.74 meters tall, and is in the upper-middle level among the post-60s generation, but is much shorter than Du Qiu, a post-90s generation. He raised his arm and waved it, and said with a smile: "Hi, you're so cool, welcome to China."
Dad, it turns out that you were so second-tier when you were young...
There were not many customers at this time, and only three of them entered the elevator. The woman in red thought Du Qiu didn't understand Chinese, so she treated him as air, wrapped her arms around Lin Dawei's neck, and teased in a coquettish voice: "Dawei, I bought two new sets of underwear yesterday, one is black and the other is red. Which one do you like?"
"Everyone likes it, hehe, let's see how I mess with you little fairy later. I watched a third-level film a few days ago, and there are many postures inside..."
Du Qiu knew that his father was very romantic when he was young, but he didn't expect that he was so romantic. He was so embarrassed that he was so cute that he had caused his vulgar and explicit flirting. He had to put his hands in his pockets and looked up to the sky without saying a word. After the elevator arrived at the 12th floor, Lin Dawei asked, "Which room?"
“1215.”
Du Qiu blocked the sensor with his toes to prevent the elevator from closing. After the two of them turned around the corner, they immediately followed him. When they passed by Room 1207, they saw the door open and there was a cleaning lady tidying up the bed sheets. So they walked in, pointed to the phone on the bedside table, and said in Japanese: "Can I use it?"
Before the cleaning lady could react, he nodded on his own, made up for thanks, then walked to the bed, pressed the hands-free button, dialed the landline at home when he was a child, and at the same time took out the cell phone in his pocket and placed it next to the microphone.
"Hey, I'm Lin Jinyan, who are you looking for?"
The childish and crisp sound made Du Qiu feel dazed for a moment. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, then bit his tongue for a moment, imitated the Japanese accent, and said in strange and crappy Mandarin: "Is Mr. Lin Dawei at home?"
"My dad went to work and was not at home."
"Then...is your mom at home?"
"Yeah, my mother is washing vegetables and preparing to cook lunch. Are you looking for her?"
"No need, I will call your dad's company, goodbye."
Du Qiu hung up the phone, picked up his cell phone, smiled at the confusing cleaning lady, and turned around and left the room.
It is boring to attend classes or listen to lectures in college. There are many people who skip classes, so Du Qiu and several classmates set up a recording app with editing function, and took turns to attend classes. After class, the key points of the recording were distributed to friends. This app happened to be useful at this time. He hid behind the fire door at the entrance of the stairs, edited the audio file he had just recorded, and then walked to the door of Room 1215, ignored the "Do not disturb" sign hanging on his hand, and knocked on the door hard.
"Who?"
Du Qiu did not answer, knocked twice, then put his ear on the door, and turned on the audio player while eavesdropping on the sound inside. When he heard the footsteps almost reaching the door, he quickly stuffed his phone back into his pocket.
Lin Dawei had taken off his sweater, only wearing a thermal underwear, and wearing a leather jacket on the outside. After opening the door, he saw that it was Du Qiu. After a moment of shock, he asked, "Well, hello, what's wrong with you?"
The reason for the divorce of parents is very complicated. It is not a simple affair. The two maintained a good relationship after the divorce, and their lives were better than before before the divorce. In addition, Du Qiu and his father have always had a harmonious relationship and did not want him to lose face in front of his mistress. So he said nothing, pressed the screen in his pocket with his thumb, and played the cut recording. The external effect of the mobile phone was good, and the sound was clearly transmitted: "Dawei, I bought two sets of new underwear yesterday... Hey, I am Lin Jinyan... Mom is washing vegetables and preparing lunch... Which room? 1215 is..."
Lin Dawei's face suddenly turned dark, and his eyes flashed with shock, guilt, panic, anger, and seven or eight emotions, but he quickly calmed down, stared at Du Qiu with bright eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
"Boss Lin, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but I just had to make this decision." Du Qiu no longer spoke Japanese, but said in Mandarin with a Northeast accent: "I borrow 5,000 yuan for emergency treatment. Today's incident has not happened."
"Dawei, who are you talking to outside?"
"Hotel waiter." Lin Dawei turned his head and shouted to the bathroom, then closed the door with his back hand and asked in a low voice: "Is my wife coming?"
"I didn't say anything, I just talked to your son for a few words."
Lin Dawei is a businessman. He has seen many people traveling around the world and is very good at observing his expressions. Seeing Du Qiu's serious expression and firm eyes, he knew that things were not to be violated and there was no room for maneuver. So he took out his wallet from his leather jacket's pocket, took out all the money inside, and said, "I only have 2,315 yuan in cash on me. If you are in a hurry, I will go to the bank to collect it now."
2,000 yuan is enough to do a lot of things...
Du Qiu took the money, counted three hundred-dollar bills, and returned them together with a few change, and joked: "Men have no money and can't be hard. Keep some courage and don't be ridiculed by women."
Lin Dawei was shocked, his expression was extremely wonderful, as if he had eaten a bite of ice cream. He looked at Du Qiu carefully and said suspiciously: "Friend, I think you look familiar. Have you seen it somewhere before?"
Half of the DNA in this body comes from you. Of course, I am familiar with you. Go back and look in the mirror...
Or you can go home and see your son...
Du Qiu had just traveled through time, his mind was chaotic and he was full of things. Before the identity problem was solved, he didn't want to have too much contact with his biological parents. He smiled but didn't say anything, and turned around and left. After a few steps, Lin Dawei chased him from behind, spread his hands and said, "Give me the tape."
"Boss Lin, there are many people in the world called Dawei, and it may not be you." Du Qiu took out the tape and was even more unlikely to give him the phone. He said perfunctorily: "It will take at least 30 minutes to get here in Jingui Garden. If you are not at ease, you can change to a hotel to have fun. Even if Mrs. Zun really comes, she will not be able to find someone, right?"
"How do you know that my home is in Jingui Garden? How do you know my phone number at home?"
"The Post and Telecommunications Bureau has yellow pages, just check it according to the name."
