In the research institute, Lin Qingsong once again combed his hair back, re-displaying the most handsome side of himself when he was young.
However, Zhou Shengnan didn't seem to notice his handsomeness at all, and he didn't even give him a look.
He was so depressed that he almost scratched his hair.
Having lunch in the cafeteria of the institute at noon, he walked over with the rice bowl and sat next to Zhou Shengnan, "Professor Zhou, I think we need to have a good talk."
Zhou Shengnan gave him a look, beckoning him to continue.
Lin Qingsong put the lunch box aside, and said solemnly, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I don't think we can just let it go like this before, I have to be responsible to you. We have been together for so long, you should know that I am a very conservative person , since we are with you... I don't think we can be so vague."
Zhou Shengnan took a sip of the soup, glanced at him again, and told him to continue.
"I mean, we can try to date. I'm not married, you're not married, let's make do."
"You think I need to make do?" Zhou Shengnan smiled.
Knowing that you are capable, having a meal with someone, let them run with you! Lin Qingsong felt extremely aggrieved, "I mean, the so-called fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields, we can also be regarded as the fat water in this research institute, so don't let it flow out, it can still be digested internally."
Zhou Shengnan smiled, "If I heard correctly, you want to have a date with me?"
Lin Qingsong's face turned red immediately, "...that's what it means."
"I don't know what it is like in China, but I know that foreign men have to take action before they want to date a woman. I see that Teacher Zhang thinks the same way." Zhou Shengnan said seriously.
"..."
"Let's see how you behave." Zhou Shengnan said calmly, and then left with his finished lunch box.
Lin Qingsong: "..."
Xu Nannan has always been curious about Lin Qingsong's activities, but since Lin Qingsong learned from her last time, he has never returned. She didn't have a chance to know whether Lin Qingsong chased anyone or not.
So when Erbao was on vacation, she asked Erbao to visit Lin Qingsong in the research institute to express the family's concern for him, a wanderer.
"Pay attention to that Professor Zhou." Xu Nannan instructed.
Er Bao shook his head vigorously. The professor was horrible that week. A frighteningly intelligent woman.
A thirteen-year-old boy, who is about the same height as Xu Nannan, now has a face full of reluctance. Xu Nannan stroked the back of his son's head like a wolf grandmother, "Good boy, Erbao is the best. This is related to your second uncle's happy life in the future. Mom is also kind."
Er Bao pursed his lips, but reluctantly went. His mother has already spoken, he can't go if he doesn't go. It's hard being a son.
Xu Nannan was working at home while waiting for Erbao to bring back the letter.
It turned out that in less than two hours, the child came back with a terrified expression on his face. As if seeing something undesirable.
"Mom, Mom, when I look for a wife in the future, I must find someone who is stupid." Erbao took Xu Nannan's arm.
"What did you see?"
"My second uncle is such a lazy person. A person who doesn't do anything at home is also served outside. Now he is serving tea and water to Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou didn't say anything, and my second uncle just passed by. , Professor Zhou bit my second uncle's ear, but the second uncle still smirked. Mom, my second uncle must be stupid because he was bullied by that woman."
Xu Nannan didn't expect his second son to be so pure and kind. This was clearly a fun between the young couple, so he was bullying him.
It's not easy for her to tell her son directly that this is for fun. He could only pat his son's head and said, "Good boy, not every smart woman is like this."
Er Bao was full of disbelief. Anyway, the smart women he met were difficult to deal with, such as his mother, such as his second aunt, such as Professor Zhou...
Smart women must be coaxed by men. He will have to be bullied to death in the future. No, I'll have to find someone stupid in the future.
Because Er Bao had a bad feeling, Nan Nan didn't let him spy on the military.
On the contrary, Li Wan complained at home all day long, saying that Lin Qingsong really didn't plan to start a family now, and didn't even go back home. Lin Changzheng didn't feel anything about it. Anyway, the eldest son has given birth to three grandchildren, and the family also has younger generations. The younger son can do whatever he wants, so why worry so much. Besides, it's nice to die for the cause of science. Don't humiliate their old Lin family.
Xu Nannan didn't help Lin Qingsong to explain, anyway, this brat has even forgotten her as a great hero, so it is understandable to let him take the blame.
Xu Nannan doesn't care about this, but someone does.
On Xiaonian's day, Old Antique suddenly gave her a gift, but it wasn't for her. It was given to her brother-in-law Lin Qingsong.
[Old Antique]: "It feels like it might come in handy."
Xu Nannan would sometimes talk about his family members with Old Antique, so he was not curious about what Old Antique knew about Lin Qingsong. I just feel that the gift from the other party is a bit confusing. The solid wood washboard looks solid.
What is this for, let Lin Qingsong take the clothes to the research institute
Xu Nannan asked Old Antique.
Old Antique was silent for a while before replying the message.
[Old Antique]: "It may be useful after marriage." A must-have at home. Second Grandpa is getting old now, and he is still not honest. I heard that Second Grandma keeps this thing in her room all year round.
For so many years, as long as the second grandma is prepared, the second grandpa will never pass by. The second child just followed the example of the second grandpa, and wandered around all day.
Old Antique couldn't explain the matter clearly, the pain in his head last time was still fresh in his memory. He didn't dare.
But here Xu Nannan smelled something.
Sure enough, after she went offline, she went downstairs, and Dabao called her, saying that it was grandpa who asked them to have dinner at home.
In the past years, I was still busy in Xiaonian, so it was only after each family had a good life that they got together for dinner. This time is an exception. Xu Nannan asked, "What's wrong?"
Dabao said, "Grandma didn't say anything, but grandma is very happy."
So Xu Nannan dragged his family to Lin Changzheng's house.
Li Wan was mysterious, and when Xu Nannan came, she told Xu Nannan what happened today. "Qingsong, for some reason, has fallen in love with her, and even said that she would bring her back to have a look. She also clamored to get married."
Li Wan's face was rosy, her whole body was in high spirits, and she was several years younger.
Xu Nannan laughed along with him, but it was too early to tell Li Wan that it was too early to be happy. In the future, your son will be strictly controlled by another girl. You just need to stop being jealous when the time comes.
But having said that, even Lin Qingsong can control it, and it is estimated that Professor Zhou will not be troubled by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
At noon, Xu Nannan finally saw Lin Qingsong's partner, Zhou Shengnan.
The look is different from what Xu Nannan thought. Xu Nannan thought she should be a tall, tall, heroic girl. As a result, the parent's parents are very juicy, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and a small cherry mouth. When talking to people, she has a friendly and gentle smile, and she looks like a good girl from IKEA and IKEA.
Both Dabao and Sanbao like her very much. Li Wan and Lin Changzheng were even more eager to get married as soon as possible.
Only Erbao and Lin Qingsong looked at the gentle Professor Zhou with weird faces.
Seeing parents, marriage is naturally on the agenda. At the dinner table, Li Wan proposed to get married in spring.
Zhou Shengnan smiled shyly, "Listen to Qingsong's arrangement."
Lin Qingsong made a final decision, like an old man, and said, "The certificate must be obtained before the Spring Festival."
Li Wan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, just get the certificate before the Spring Festival, and Sheng Nan can come to the house to celebrate the New Year this year."
Zhou Shengnan smiled and said, "I listen to Qingsong."
Lin Qingsong smiled triumphantly, "That's good."
After eating and sitting for a while, Lin Qingsong sent Zhou Shengnan back to the research institute, and then came back again.
Before returning home, Xu Nannan called her home.
"Your partner is in such a hurry to get married, it means that he is very rare about you." Xu Nannan joked.
Lin Qingsong said proudly, "That's not true. She said she got married during the Spring Festival."
Xu Nannan looked at him, but smiled silently.
Lin Qingsong glanced at her and shrugged his head. Well, everything just now is fake. Before coming to the house, Zhou Shengnan told him what to say, so after coming here, Zhou Shengnan only had to say one sentence, "I listen to Qingsong."
So he pretended to be an uncle on the surface, but behind his back...
He has a deep understanding of what it means to be in a cocoon. After interacting with him, this woman finally revealed her true nature. Anything as cold as ice is fake. Like a fox, it's just a matter of riding him.
The uncle and sister-in-law don't need to talk, everything is in silence. Xu Nannan sighed, and silently took out a washboard. It is the piece given by Old Antique, made of solid wood, and it is beautifully decorated with carved flowers and reliefs. "Take it back, maybe it will be useful."
Xu Nannan has now confirmed that Old Antique should be a descendant of their family. And it shouldn't be too distant a descendant. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so clear about Lin Qingsong's affairs, even the day when Lin Qingsong brought his girlfriend to the door for the first time, and he would also know the things behind Lin Qingsong.
After all, according to Professor Zhou's intention, Lin Qingsong should be the uncle in front of others. So if it is not a close relative, it should not know.
If it's not the son's generation, then it's the grandchildren's generation. I just don't know if it's hers or Lin Qingsong's. But it seems that the two of them should get along pretty well in the future, otherwise the junior wouldn't deliberately send such a gift to make fun of it.
Lin Qingsong got married and didn't serve wine. The couple are both scientific researchers and they didn't want to be too ostentatious. So after receiving the certificate during the Spring Festival, the whole family had a meal at home.
The three treasures finally have a gentle and friendly second aunt.
But it's a pity that after the couple got married, because of the progress of the research project, they were sent to the closed research institute again.
Li Wan is happy to see it succeed. Anyway, husband and wife are locked together, they can have children wherever they go, there is no difference.
The family is gradually consummated, and the lives of ordinary people across the country are also beginning to flourish.
After the beginning of spring, Xu Ling came from Nanjiang and brought Xu Nannan the news of Xujiacun. Now many people in the village have built red brick and tile houses, and the villagers can also eat rice and white noodles, and they can also eat meat dishes for three or two days. The lives of people in the entire Xujia Village are seeing prosperity. When rice transplanters and harvesters appeared, the villagers bought one together in partnership.
On the day the machine came back, the white-haired Xu Gensheng hung a red cloth on it with a smile and set off firecrackers in front of everyone in the village.
The author has something to say: Well, see you at three o'clock tomorrow.
There's not much left in the episode, and we're about to jump the timeline.
Not much to say, I will write quietly.
