Everyone was busy in the room, and no one cared about Xu Nannan and Lin Qingsong going out.
The two of them didn't go far, just looked at the vegetables grown by themselves in the yard. Covered with a layer of straw. I don't know what is planted below. Lin Qingsong looked around the room, "Let me tell you, my brother and Ximei are absolutely fine."
Xu Nannan said calmly, "If I think they have something, can I still stand here?" If Lin Qingbai showed any signs of being with other women, she would leave immediately. No matter how good a man is, she doesn't care if she feels restless. At most, I will be sad for a while, and then regain my strength. Fortunately, Lin Qingbai performed quite well.
"Sour." Lin Qingsong gritted his teeth, and said solemnly again, "But Ximei is not a bad person. Isn't my brother coming back very late at that time, and no one in the family can say to go together. Don't you I know, everyone in the compound felt sorry for my brother at that time, saying that my brother had a hard time at home. That’s not the case. Since my brother came back, the food and drink at home must be tight to him first. At that time I I was also very unhappy, thinking that he was robbing me and ignoring him. My brother was alone. At that time, Ximei was full of love, and wanted to save my brother from the sea of suffering, and followed me every day My brother ran behind. If I ran a lot, I got used to it, and the relationship between the two families was good, so I became familiar. But my brother never talked to her, and he went to the army soon, and few came back. Every time he comes back, Ximei will come over."
In fact, he couldn't figure it out either. With Ximei's attitude, his brother was covered in heat like a rock.
"..." Xu Nannan didn't know what to say. People are treating Lin Qingbai as a poor boy and want to save him. It's a pity that the Lin Qingbai she knows is not the kind who likes to be saved, he seems to like to save others. Such a strong person, being treated as a little pitiful, I don't know how to feel.
Xu Nannan suddenly felt like laughing. But his face was still stern, "Your mother seems to like her quite a lot." Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye could tell.
Lin Qingsong chuckled, "My mother likes many people in this compound, but my mother doesn't care about my brother either. Look at who he looks good on when he comes back, even my father doesn't even get his smile."
Xu Nannan was not worried about this either. I just don't want Lin Qingbai to fall out with his family because of being with her, it feels too bloody, and it's not a TV series about wealthy Cinderella, so there's no need to drive out of the house and get married again.
But she was a little uncertain about Lin Changzheng's attitude just now. Even if Lin Changzheng really disagrees with her being with Brother Lin, it is very likely that he will use his relationship to transfer Brother Lin away from Nanjiang. It will be troublesome then.
"It's cold, what are you doing standing outside," Li Wan shouted from the window in the room.
Lin Qingsong blinked at Xu Nannan before entering the room. Xu Nannan also entered the room and waited for Lin Qingbai.
In the living room, Li Wan is knitting a sweater, while Sun Ximei is reading a book, the picture is very harmonious. Lin Qingsong wanted to enter the house, but he was worried about Xu Nannan, so he just stayed in the living room and sat.
Li Wan looked up at Xu Nannan, then chatted with Sun Ximei next to her, "Ximei, you should assign work now."
"Assigned, go to the military hospital."
"The distribution of college students is different. Once they come out, they are military doctors." Li Wan looked at Xu Nannan with emotion on her face, "Nannan came out to work at this age, and didn't study much."
Lin Qingsong's face changed, "Mom, is it interesting to ask, how many people can read in the current domestic situation?"
He thinks it's fucking over, if he doesn't like his sister-in-law, don't talk to her, it's okay, is it worth running on people, if his brother is here, he has to turn his face.
"Didn't I just ask casually? Didn't I say I'm engaged? I always want to understand. Nannan, don't you think so?" Li Wan smiled gently.
Xu Nannan nodded and sighed, "I really didn't read much before. There's nothing I can do, my family is poor. Who made three generations of poor peasants in my family, right? We poor people are like this, one poor and the other white. It's not like those ladies from landlord families in the past, who can go abroad Studying abroad. So we have to thank these revolutionary fighters and great people for giving us poor people the opportunity to study, and now we have also studied in a technical secondary school. It is much better than before. In order to serve the motherland, I started early I have come out to work. At any rate, it can contribute to our great cause of building the country.”
Lin Qingsong glanced at Li Wan from the side, saw that her face was starting to swell, and snorted secretly. It should be.
Li Wan's heart fluctuated in anger, Sun Ximei frowned and looked at Xu Nannan, "Comrade you, you have to pay attention to what you say."
"Pay attention to what?" Xu Nannan asked innocently. "Am I wrong?"
I really can't say it's wrong. But it was too hurtful.
Sun Ximei looked at the little girl, feeling a little puzzled. Why does Brother Qingbai like such a girl, who is young, ignorant, and has a bad temper. I don't know that I feel sorry for the elders, but I guess it was Brother Qingbo who was alone in Nanjiang with no relatives, so someone took advantage of his loopholes.
Li Wan was so angry that she couldn't quarrel with others, so she just got up and went upstairs.
Seeing this, Sun Ximei hurriedly followed.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are amazing." Lin Qingsong admired.
Xu Nannan looked at him strangely, "I pissed off your mother and left, aren't you angry?" After all, it was his own mother.
Lin Qingsong said, "It's okay, it's better for your body to be angry." He felt that his mother was just used to it, and insisted on reaching out to take care of his brother's affairs.
Xu Nannan didn't quite understand his brain circuit. I looked up and looked in the direction upstairs, but I didn't know what I was talking about, and I still haven't come down after so long.
Upstairs, Lin Qingbai just finished talking to Lin Changzheng about his situation in Nanjiang.
Lin Changzheng remained silent. When he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea with his teacup, "Look at what you mean, I'm planning to develop in Nanjiang for a long time. Those leaders before you are still looking forward to your return."
"So far, I am planning to stay in Nanjiang."
"Well, since you have made a decision, I won't force you. But what did you mean by asking Qingsong to tell me to go to the front line?"
Lin Qingbai said, "I've been reading the newspapers recently, and I feel that something is about to emerge. But it's not certain, I think it might be safer to go to the front line."
"What are the signs?" Lin Changzheng gave him a sharp look, "Do you think it's not peaceful?"
"It's not that it's not peaceful, it's just something out of control."
Sometimes, intuition is such a thing that it is not clear. But instinctively made him want to avoid it.
"Okay, I'll think about it." Lin Changzheng said after leaving silently for a while. Looking at his son's still serious face, he said, "When you come back this time, you are even stranger to your aunt than before. I also know about that. But your aunt is also for your own good. After all, it is a family .”
Lin Qingbai stood up, "Let's talk about this later, I'll go downstairs first." There are some things that can't be put down by a family.
Seeing him leaving like this, Lin Changzheng sighed. After all, this child is still not close to him.
"Brother Qingbo."
Just as Lin Qingbai was about to go downstairs, Sun Ximei came out of the next room, and said worriedly, "Brother Qingbai, Auntie is crying with anger. She is crying in the room. Your...maybe it's because you are young, and you don't know the severity of your words. , it hurts too much."
"What did Nan Nan say?" Lin Qingbai looked at her and said.
"It's just a joke about auntie's background..."
"How did you say the whole sentence?" Lin Qingbai said.
Sun Ximei didn't expect him to be so probing, so she had to repeat Xu Nannan's words. It didn't say cause and effect.
Lin Qingbai nodded after listening, "No problem. If you think there is a problem, you can go to Nannan to discuss it." After speaking, he went downstairs directly.
"..." Sun Ximei was choked up by his answer and was a little speechless. Brother Qingbai, why is he like this now? Seeing Lin Qingbai leave, she hurried back to Li Wan's room.
"Auntie, I just told Brother Qingbai that you were crying from anger, and Brother Qingbai actually protected that lesbian." Sun Ximei felt that it was too surprising. Although Lin Qingbai didn't like to talk in the past, he still respected the elders in the family anyway.
Li Wanzheng was leaning on the bed with red eyes. When she heard this, she wiped the corners of her eyes, "You shouldn't talk about me. He has a problem with me now. If you talk about me, he won't like to hear it. Ximei, auntie I can't help you with this matter. But after all, you and Qingbai have been in love for many years. Auntie believes that no one can compare with this."
Sun Ximei hummed. When Brother Qingbai was in the most difficult time, she was by his side. It was she who followed Brother Qingbai without complaint, didn't let him be alone, and let the children in the compound play with him. It doesn't make sense that a later one would compare her.
It feels like a peach tree that I have planted so hard. It finally bears peaches and is picked away by someone.
Feeling that she should defend her own fruit, Sun Ximei was instantly motivated, turned around and went downstairs to look for Lin Qingbai, only to see Lin Qingsong lying on the sofa reading a book alone. She walked over, brought Lin Qingsong's book, and said seriously, "Qingsong, where's your brother?"
"Going out with my sister-in-law." Lin Qingsong sat up straight, took the book and continued reading.
"What sister-in-law, don't call me nonsense, I'm not married yet, if you call me that, how will others get married in the future." Sun Ximei criticized seriously.
Lin Qingsong coughed, "Sister Ximei, it's not what I want to call, but my brother. Besides, my sister-in-law has to marry my brother, sooner or later."
After hearing this, Sun Ximei looked at Lin Qingsong as if she were looking at a traitor. How nice the three of them used to be, she followed Brother Qingbai, and Lin Qingsong followed the two of them. People say they are like a family. Now that an outsider appeared, Qingsong rebelled.
"Lin Qingsong, can you take a stand?"
"I have always stood firm, and I listened to my brother." Lin Qingsong said innocently. His brother had no idea about Ximei since he was a child, so what can he do.
Sun Ximei knew at a glance that he was playing a scoundrel, and stood up angrily, "I'll go find Brother Qingbai myself."
Lin Changzheng listened to the movement downstairs at the stairs, shook his head, turned around and went to the room again. Seeing that Li Wan was still jealous, she walked to the side of the bed and sat with her hands behind her back, "What's the matter with the children. You know Qingbai's temperament. Just as long as he likes it."
Although he also hopes that his son will marry the girl in the compound. But this kind of thing is not something that anyone wants to do.
Li Wan disagreed with his words, "Young people don't know what they want. Now they are acting on impulse. After getting married, it will be a long time, and it will be useless to regret it. As elders, we must always help check. You don't know, this girl has a really bad temper. She fell out with her family, and she went to someone else's house to be a granddaughter, and she didn't even recognize her parents. Do you think such a child is okay? She wants He's a sensible and good boy, so I won't say anything, but this... I'm really worried."
"The problem is that Qingbai likes it himself. You, you just worry too much. If you have the time, take good care of Qingsong. This one is a little better when he comes back. Take good care of him, don't let him be like before."
"Qingsong is the second child, so it doesn't matter what happens. The key is that Qingbai can support the family. And Lao Lin... I'm afraid, I have no confidence. Find a good in-law, can't we support each other in the future?" She and Lao Lin has come from the past years, suffered hardships and suffered. After finally living a peaceful life, she didn't want to suffer anymore.
Lin Changzheng looked at her like this, sighed, and patted her on the shoulder, "No matter what, this matter is for Qingbai to decide. He is a steady child." If it was Qingsong, he could still say a few words But Qingbai...he didn't have the courage to say it. He owed this child too much. He couldn't help with He Qiusheng's affairs, but how could he intervene in his lifelong affairs.
The roads in the capital are white and dry everywhere. Xu Nannan felt cold even when he put his hands in his pockets.
If it weren't for the street, she would have wished to reach into Lin Qingbai's sleeve.
But compared to being uncomfortable at Lin's house, she would rather come out with Lin Qingbai to press the road. "It's a pity that the weather is bad, otherwise, we could still climb the Great Wall and see the Forbidden City."
Lin Qingbai was thinking about something, and seeing her so happy, he couldn't help laughing, "Climbing the Great Wall is not an option, but visiting the Forbidden City is no problem. It's too late today, let's get up early tomorrow morning to watch the flag raising."
When Xu Nannan heard this, his eyes lit up. In the past, she wanted to watch the flag raising, but every time it happened, it didn't happen for some reason. Unexpectedly, the first time I saw it, it was still in this era.
She nodded hurriedly. "I must go tomorrow."
Another thing came to mind, and he looked up at Lin Qingbai, "By the way, Brother Lin, what should I do with that letter? How about sending it when I come back after watching the flag raising tomorrow?" excellent.
Lin Qingbai thought for a while, "Let's go tomorrow. But that guy doesn't have a good relationship with my dad. And he doesn't have a good temper."
"I just send a letter, and he can drive me out?"
Lin Qingbai nodded seriously, "It's possible."
Xu Nannan still didn't believe it. It shouldn't be unreasonable to help them because of a letter from Grandpa Yu.
The two pressed the road outside, walked around the neighborhood and familiarized themselves with the environment before heading home.
While walking, Xu Nannan was still sighing. The waste recycling station in the capital can collect some things if they don't live, but just think about it. She didn't dare to move in this place. There are many capable people in this place, so don't be caught by others.
When they got home, Uncle Li and Aunt Li also came out of the room. When they saw Xu Nannan, their eyes lit up, as if they wanted to talk to Xu Nannan.
However, Xu Nannan had no relationship with them, and because of the estrangement with Li Jing, she didn't plan to have more contact with the two elders. She glanced at each other, greeted each other, and she followed Lin Qingbai.
Seeing Li Wan cooking in the kitchen, she politely called out, "Auntie, let me cook for you."
"No, how can we let the guests do it," Li Wan said in a firm voice in the kitchen. Hearing this as he wished, Xu Nannan bowed his head aggrievedly, and followed Lin Qingbai upstairs.
Lin Changzheng was not at home at night, saying that it was snowing and he was going to see the soldiers. There were only four of them left when they ate. Uncle Li and Aunt Li still went back to their room to eat.
Xu Nannan didn't see Sun Ximei, thinking she wouldn't come over at night. As a result, they ran over as soon as dinner was served in the evening, and brought half a roast duck to the Lin family, saying that her brother brought it back from outside, and then sat at the table to eat generously. As soon as he sat down, he looked at Lin Qingbai, "My brother said that it is rare for Qingbai to come back once, and he is going to invite Qingbai to go out to play. I said he must be very tired when he just came back, so I asked him to make an appointment again in a few days."
"You child is sensible and considerate." Li Wan smiled softly.
Seeing Li Wan's smile, Xu Nannan got goosebumps. Just put your head down and eat. As for the roast duck, she didn't move a single chopstick. She doesn't eat, Lin Qingbai doesn't eat. Lin Qingsong ate it all by himself. Eat with hands and mouths full of oil. "Where did your brother get it? Get me one next time. It tastes really good."
Sun Ximei looked at the oil on his hands in pain, took a mouthful of rice, "I'll ask later."
After a meal, Lin Qingsong ate the most, Xu Nannan was also full, rubbed his stomach, and wanted to go to bed. Although there are people taking care of her in the car these days, nothing can compare to the comfort of sleeping on the bed.
Lin Qingbai said, "You go to rest first. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Xu Nannan nodded and followed upstairs. Seeing that the two of them were about to go upstairs, Li Wan hurriedly said, "There are not enough rooms at home, so I sent a single bed in the afternoon. I think it can be put under the stairs, where it will be warmer."
Lin Qingbai looked back at her with dark eyes, which made Li Wan feel guilty.
Lin Qingsong hurriedly said, "I'll give up the room. How can we let lesbians sleep in the stairwell?" Why didn't he find out that his mother did this before.
Li Wan smiled and said, "When the guests came to the house before, it was also arranged like this."
Sun Ximei saw that the faces of several people were not quite right, so she tried to smooth things over, "Why don't Comrade Nannan come to our house and squeeze with me. They are not outsiders anyway."
Lin Qingbai looked away, without saying a word, he pulled Xu Nannan up the stairs.
Li Wan took a few breaths, but didn't dare to shout again. He just said dissatisfiedly, "You're not married, how can you sleep together?"
"Don't talk about it, you have to let my brother go out in the middle of the night to be satisfied, right?" Lin Qingsong said unhappily. The look in his brother's eyes just now means that he wants to eat people. Or his brother was too polite to his mother before. Somewhat worried, Lin Qingsong simply stopped talking to Li Wan and the others downstairs. He hurriedly followed upstairs, preparing to give up his room.
Seeing that her two sons were not on her side, Li Wan panicked. What happened to sleeping in the stairwell. At least she and Lao Lin's room should not be given up. In the past, her mother, Li Jing, also slept on the pedals. Generally, if a girl encounters this kind of thing, she would have the face to stay here and leave long ago. She didn't believe that the girl could continue to rely on her knowing that the man's family didn't like her.
Upstairs, Lin Qingbai took Xu Nannan directly to his room. Although he seldom came back, the room was always cleaned up. Neat, still the same as when he left. Knowing that he was coming back, Li Wan specially changed the bed sheet and quilt cover. The wipe on the table is not stained.
In this respect, what her stepmother did was impeccable. Xu Nannan couldn't fault it.
It's a pity that Lin Qingbai didn't appreciate her at all. After going upstairs, his face darkened. "You sleep in my room, and I'll find a squeeze in the Qingsong room." If it wasn't because the conditions in the guest house were not as good as at home, and Nan Nan was afraid of the cold, he would be able to take Nan Nan directly to the main guest house tomorrow. When things here are done, go straight back to Nanjiang. He didn't make Nan Nan angry, how could he let others bully her
"Brother Lin, don't be angry. It's not good to be angry." Xu Nannan comforted him. As for being angry just now... She didn't feel angry either. Anyway, she knew that Li Wan didn't like her, and she didn't like Li Wan, so she wanted to make him feel bad. So she didn't pay attention to Li Wan's method just now.
When Li Wan arranged for her to sleep in the stairwell, she knew that Lin Qingbai would never let her really sleep in the stairwell. Anyway, the final result is that Li Wan can't get what she wants, why is she still angry.
Lin Qingbai couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard that she was wronged and comforted herself, and reached out to touch the top of her hair.
Lin Qingsong knocked on the door, and when he heard the voice inside, he poked his head in and saw Xu Nannan sitting on Lin Qingbai's bed, his brother was touching the little girl's head, his eyes widened, "You won't... no Really get some sleep."
"Do you have an opinion?" Lin Qingbai said coldly.
"No, you continue." Lin Qingsong blushed and left immediately.
Xu Nannan found out that Lin Qingsong looked like this really was a dud. In this family, it is considered a wonderful flower. Looking up at Lin Qingbai again, "Let's stay for a few more days. After delivering the letter tomorrow, I'll be fine." Parents have seen it.
Lin Qingbai said, "I have something to do here, and it may take a few days. When you are free, let Qingsong take you out for a stroll."
Hearing his tone, he was too busy to see anyone. Xu Nannan didn't ask too much, thinking about where to go to have fun. This time, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to come again.
Perhaps he thought this was Lin Qingbai's room, and he slept soundly. Xu Nannan didn't wake up until he heard a knock on the door.
Seeing Lin Qingbai who had been packed neatly outside the door, she remembered that she was going to watch the flag raising early this morning. Hurry back to the house and get dressed in a hurry.
