Back at Lin's house, Xu Nannan felt a little depressed, especially after seeing an old revolutionary like Zhou Yunshan, the heavy feeling in his heart became more and more profound.
This kind of life was created by revolutionary predecessors like Zhou Yunshan and Yu Hai. Even Xu Jiansheng had served in the army at the beginning. In contrast, she has more things than others, but does the least.
Just because of fear, fear, she dared not do anything.
"Nannan, I met Lao Zhou, didn't he scare you?" Lin Changzheng sat on the sofa and asked casually.
Xu Nannan looked at him, "No, Chief Zhou is very nice."
"How is he?" Lin Changzheng sneered, as if he also looked down on Zhou Yunshan.
Xu Nannan found out that these two people really hated each other, no, they probably hated each other after hearing it.
Li Wan came out with the bowl and chopsticks, followed by Sun Ximei. The two are like mother and daughter, they are inseparable.
"Ximei, call Qingbai and Qingqing to go downstairs for dinner." Li Wan arranged.
Just as Sun Ximei was about to go up, Lin Changzheng said, "Let Nannan go, Ximei is a guest, and you always let Ximei do the work, and later, Old Sun will have to settle accounts with me."
Sun Ximei became anxious, "Uncle Lin, it's fine, I like to work."
Xu Nannan smiled, "I'll go." As he spoke, he went upstairs directly in front of Sun Ximei.
Seeing Xu Nannan's brisk steps, Sun Ximei bit her lip, her eyes flashed with grievance. Li Wan also looked at Lin Changzheng, Xiumei frowned slightly. What's wrong with Lao Lin? Arranging like this in front of Ximei, doesn't it make Ximei feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I have to take into account the face of the little girl.
Upstairs, Lin Qingbai was reading in Lin Qingsong's room.
Xu Nannan knocked on the door, and Lin Qingsong said firmly, "My brother and I want to read, and we don't have time now."
"What book are you reading?" Xu Nannan leaned against the door frame and asked. After finishing speaking, the door was opened, and Lin Qingbai looked at her with a smile on his face: "I thought you wouldn't come back until evening."
Lin Qingsong sighed in the room, "My brother is in a hurry."
Xu Nannan didn't care about his jokes, and said with a smile, "Why did you come upstairs?"
Lin Qingbai didn't speak, Lin Qingsong leaned over and whispered, "Isn't my brother avoiding suspicion? Ximei came to the house, so he talked to my brother. My brother ran upstairs." He didn't understand Ximei's persistence. , all these years, his brother didn't say a word, he obviously had no other ideas, why is he still so persistent now.
Hearing that it was to avoid Ximei, Xu Nannan was quite satisfied with Lin Qingbai's performance.
"Comrade Lin, because of your performance today, I allow you to have dinner." After speaking, he turned around and went downstairs.
Lin Qingbai looked at her like this, smiled dotingly, threw the book into Lin Qingsong's hand, and followed her downstairs.
"It's worthless, it's worthless." Lin Qingsong said contemptuously.
During the meal, Sun Ximei still stayed to eat with the Lin family.
Xu Nannan pretended not to see her, and sat with Lin Qingbai. Sun Ximei wanted to sit on the other side of Lin Qingbai, Lin Qingsong immediately sat over, "Brother, let's have a good chat."
Sun Ximei bit her lip, and could only sit opposite Lin Qingbai, her eyes still looking at him from time to time.
Li Wan glared at her son, then brought food for Sun Ximei, "Ximei, you are welcome, you cooked all the dishes today."
Looking back at Lin Qingbai again, "Qingbai, try Ximei's craftsmanship, isn't it very good?"
Lin Qingbai looked at Xu Nannan and said, "Nannan's craftsmanship is good." He didn't mention Sun Ximei's craftsmanship.
Seeing Lin Qingbai making such a face in front of Sun Ximei, Li Wan was so angry that she didn't even want to eat. Seeing Xu Nannan's delicious food, she said, "Nannan went to the Zhou family today, what is your relationship with the Zhou family? You also know that the relationship between our Lin family and the Zhou family is not very good, so don't go there in the future, it will have a bad influence People who don't know will think that our old Lin took the initiative to reconcile with the Zhou family."
Sun Ximei immediately said, "Brother Qingbai's previous leadership seemed to have some conflicts with Chief Zhou. Comrade Nannan, you really don't think about Brother Qingbai."
"It's her freedom to make friends with whoever Nan Nan wants, and it won't affect you." Lin Qingbai said displeased.
Li Wan smiled and said, "Qingbai, don't be too angry. I also treat Nannan as a family. Otherwise, I don't care about outsiders. I just want to tell her that we are not related to the Zhou family. Great, she has to think more about our Lin family." After speaking, she looked at Lin Changzheng, "Old Lin, don't you think so?"
Lin Changzheng didn't speak until he heard her words, he raised his head, his face tensed, obviously unhappy, "The children's affairs, they can decide for themselves. Eat!"
After finishing speaking, he continued to eat with a sullen head.
With his expression, the atmosphere at the dinner table became sombre.
Xu Nannan's food was delicious despite his none of his business. From time to time, he also brought food to Lin Qingbai. It is not worthwhile to eat for nothing, for the sake of irrelevant popularity.
Seeing Xu Nannan like this, Li Wan gritted her teeth angrily.
After eating, Sun Ximei uncharacteristically left the Lin family early. Even Li Wan kept her, but she didn't. Li Wan was feeling a little depressed, Lin Changzheng stood at the stairs and called her to go upstairs.
Hearing Lin Changzheng's tough voice, Li Wan's heart tightened, and she thought to herself, she didn't do anything just now. There was nothing for Lao Lin to say, so he hurried upstairs.
Lin Changzheng waited for her to enter the room, then closed the door, his face was not as tense as before, and it was even darker, "Why did you mention those things at the dinner table just now?"
"What did I mention?" Li Wan was a little puzzled.
Seeing her like this, Lin Changzheng was stunned and couldn't get out, "Don't talk about the Zhou family's affairs in front of Ximei. It's not like you don't know what her father does. If her father knows, what will he think of our family later? "
Li Wan argued, "Why can't I know? Didn't I express my opinion? We don't have a good relationship with the Zhou family. It's okay for Ximei's father to know."
"You don't want to reconcile with the Zhou family so much? Li Wan, what's going on in your head?" Lin Changzheng was completely disappointed with his wife's political vision. At the beginning, she was also a progressive young woman, but after she got married, she didn't understand the situation anymore.
"Don't you want to reconcile with the Zhou family too, okay? Chief Zhou has a temper, and our Lin family has a temper too. That Zhang Wenxiu, I let her in, but she was not happy. People look down on our family so much, why should I think up to them?"
When Lin Changzheng heard her words, he knew that she didn't care about politics at all. In her eyes, now she can only see one-third of an acre of land in this compound, and only see these trivial matters. Immediately, I felt disappointed in my heart, and the idea of teaching my wife behind me disappeared. As for her thoughts, she can't tell anyone later.
Showing some disappointment, Lin Changzheng turned around and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Lin Qingbai and Xu Nannan were standing at the window watching the snow scene. They were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Lin Changzheng was taken aback for a moment, then walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Qingbai, Nannan, don't rest yet."
Xu Nannan was discussing with Lin Qingbai to go around the Forbidden City when the weather was better. When he heard the voice, he looked back and saw Lin Changzheng walking over with his hands behind his back.
Lin Changzheng didn't like to talk. Xu Nannan lived here for two days, and Lin Changzheng rarely took the initiative to talk. So seeing him now, Xu Nannan was quite surprised, "Uncle Lin,"
Lin Changzheng nodded, and then looked at Lin Qingbai who was stern again, "It's a rare time to come back. When I'm free, let Qingbai take you out to play."
Xu Nannan nodded, "Well, Qingbai and I are also discussing it."
Thinking that Lin Changzheng was going to leave, he sighed, "Don't pay attention to what your Aunt Li said today. I had some misunderstandings with Lao Zhou, and it's not an enmity, and it won't affect the relationship between the two. You have to say Get close to their family, just go, don't worry about anything."
Without waiting for Xu Nannan's answer, he turned around and went upstairs with his hands behind his back.
Xu Nannan looked at him blankly, then looked at Lin Qingbai, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with your father? I thought he didn't want me to go to Zhou's house either. Chief Zhou's behavior seems to be in conflict with your father." Yes." Just talking about this person makes me disgusted.
Lin Qingbai also thought about it, "They were not so stingy in their previous generation."
"That's good. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang are very nice to me. I think it's okay to be a relative in the future." Especially Zhou Yunshan's old leg problem, she still wanted to see how she could help Treat it. If you can't do big things, you can do a little bit of small things. Besides, Zhou Yunshan is going to the front line, and his health is better, which may also help. As for the grievances between the Lin family and the Zhou family, she doesn't care.
On the Sun's side, Sun Ximei sat on the sofa with red eyes. Thinking of the intimacy between Lin Qingbai and Xu Nannan, my heart is very sour.
Seeing that she was wronged, grandma also had opinions on the Lin family. My daughter is rushing around every day, if she doesn't look at her face, even if she looks at the help she and the old grandson gave to their Lin family back then, she shouldn't spoil people like this.
"Mom, what do you think happened to Uncle Lin? He also defended that Nannan. Didn't he have a bad relationship with the Zhou family? Could it be that they reconciled?"
When grandma heard this, she smiled, "How could it be possible to reconcile? At the beginning Zhou Yunshan suffered a loss in Lin Changzheng's hands, how could it be so easy to reconcile. It was just what he thought, Zhou Yunshan was not happy about it. Lin Changzheng reckoned It means that it’s not good to behave too much in front of that girl, so I won’t let you talk about it. You don’t want to talk about it in the future. You young people don’t meddle in the affairs of the previous generation. But Ximei , you'd better not go to the Lin family. Your father and I are just a girl like you, so it's not easy for you to be wronged. "
"Mom, I don't feel wronged. I have persisted all these years, and now I don't want to give up. I will be able to wait for him one day."
Seeing her persistence, grandma couldn't bear to persuade her.
"When your dad comes back, I'll talk to your dad and ask him to talk to Lin Changzheng in person. If it doesn't work, make a decision first. It's the same for emotional matters to be cultivated later."
"Let's not do this for now, I still want to fight for it myself." Sun Ximei said forcefully.
She has survived all these years, so it doesn't make sense for her parents to come forward at this time.
It's just that Brother Qingbai seems to be leaving in a few days...
Xu Nannan originally planned to go to Zhou's house before leaving, but the next morning, Xiao Yuan came to Lin's house, asking her to go to Zhou's house for dinner, and also brought Lin Qingbai there.
