Views:

Xu Nannan found out that Lin Qingbai hadn't come to pick her up for two days. This was originally what she said, but she didn't see anyone, and felt that something was wrong. Even when I was working in the mine, I felt lethargic. I wondered if what I said that day was too straightforward, or if I didn’t explain clearly to Brother Lin, so that he misunderstood me. So angry now.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like it. When they parted that day, he didn't say a word.

Isn't this a bit stingy. It's okay for her to say that. She didn't think so before, but then she seemed to think that she and Brother Lin were in a romantic relationship, and even Lin Qingsong, the younger brother, thought so, so she felt something was wrong. I feel that the way I get along with Lin Ge may be a bit bad. Lin Ge is a nice person with a warm heart. After getting along for a long time, she also feels that the two of them get along very naturally, and she doesn't think it's bad. Now that I think about it, it's too close.

Brother Lin is a man with a thick heart, so naturally he doesn't know these things. But if in the future, others misunderstand like this, then it's hard to explain. Such a misunderstanding, how can Brother Lin deal with the object

I had dinner with Zhu Fang at noon, and I was thinking about it too. She didn't even understand what Zhu Fang was talking to her.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Zhu Fang said, "What's wrong with you these days, are you absent-minded?"

"It's okay, it's just the weather is boring." Xu Nannan lowered her head and said, she didn't want to tell others about it, lest it would be misunderstood.

Zhu Fang herself was also a little troubled, and didn't pay attention to what was wrong with her, "What do you think I should do, Li Weiming has mentioned the matter of getting married several times."

"Then let's get married," Xu Nannan said.

An honest and loyal person like Li Weiming is still very popular at this time. It should be said that as long as it is not the kind of person with long eyelids on the top of the head, this kind of object is also attractive. Xu Nannan is very optimistic about their pair.

Zhu Fang herself was a little displeased, "But he cares too much about me. You see, last time I asked you to buy a Bragi, he said it was too fancy. He also said that he was working in a mine and was not dressed plainly." Good point. You know, the last time we chatted, he also talked about getting married in the future, how much it costs to raise a child, and how to spend the monthly cloth and industrial tickets. , not to mention going to a restaurant to eat, even in the cafeteria, you have to eat fast. You don’t even dare to buy a new dress. Don’t even think about buying shoes for those industrial tickets, you have to keep them at home.”

After hearing what she said, Xu Nannan also felt a little taste. Zhu Fang's thoughts are like those of many women who are used to being single later on. When you are single, you can buy anything. After getting married, taking care of the family, but not so comfortable. However, this era has come through hardships, so this feeling is not very obvious. Zhu Fang had some exceptions because of her childhood relationship.

"Then you're not going to get married? It's not an option to procrastinate." The two were very old. Even though Zhu Fang is in her early twenties, this is considered a marriageable age. It suddenly occurred to him that Lin Qingbai was also in his twenties, and he was an older man at this time, so he was about to get married.

Thinking of this, she panicked.

A few days later, Lin Qingbai still didn't come to her. Xu Nannan felt even more uncomfortable.

Is this breaking up with her

Forget it, anyway, I said I don’t need to pick it up. Wouldn’t it be better if they didn’t come to pick it up? Xu Nannan comforted himself.

Lin Qingsong, on the other hand, deliberately waited at the gate of the mine when he got off work, and looked at Xu Nannan with resentment, "I'm talking about Director Yu, what have you been up to these days?"

What's so busy, the purchasing department is the most comfortable. When I'm busy, I have to run around for half a month. When I'm free, I just deal with some things after purchasing. Or just go to the provincial capital to purchase some small supplies near the city.

Lin Qingsong knew that he had done it himself. He has a reason for asking. In the past few days, his brother is like a cannon barrel, catching fire at one point. He didn't have a good look at his younger brother. He frowns coldly at him at every turn, and he almost can't hold it anymore.

Xu Nannan got goosebumps when he saw this look in his eyes, as if he was a betrayer and betrayed his little daughter-in-law.

"I haven't been busy recently, what's the matter?"

"What are you busy with? How about I treat you to dinner?" Lin Qingsong immediately lost his eyes with a smile. With a look of enthusiasm.

Xu Nannan looked at him wonderingly, "Okay, why invite me to dinner?"

"Isn't this place just empty? You and my brother know each other, and we also know each other. Let's get closer."

What are you talking about kissing and kissing? What are you talking about in such a mess? Xu Nannan stared and strode forward.

Lin Qingsong hurriedly followed.

From behind, Xu Hong stared at the backs of the two of them. This girl had a little policeman last time, and this time she followed Lin Qingsong, why is she so greedy. Gritting his teeth, he directly lifted his heels up.

Xu Nannan didn't want to have dinner with Lin Qingsong, but Lin Qingsong said that he also invited Lin Qingbai, so she thought about it and followed.

She felt that there was some misunderstanding between herself and Lin Qingbai, and she had to make it clear. I deliberately went back and talked to Grandma Yu, and then went out to have dinner with Lin Qingsong.

I still went to the restaurant next to the county party committee.

Seeing Lin Qingsong bringing Xu Nannan, Xiao Tian immediately went to say hello happily, "Big sister hasn't come for a long time."

"You know each other?" Lin Qingsong raised his eyebrows.

Oda smiled and said, "No, Minister Lin brought it last time." Then he said to Xu Nannan, "Why didn't you come, I keep things every time. If you didn't come, they were eaten by others." This is true. Ever since Lin Qingbai brought Xu Nannan here, she looked like she was the one to fall in love with, so she took it to heart. Regardless of whether it is looking at Minister Lin's face or looking at Lin Qingsong, you have to have a good relationship with him.

Xu Nannan didn't know that people took her so seriously, so she was a little embarrassed, "I usually eat in the cafeteria, so it's rare to come out."

"Okay, if you come to eat next time, tell me in advance and leave something good for you." Xiaotian didn't hesitate, and went in twisting his waist and told his uncle to make some delicious treats for others.

"You have more face than me." Lin Qingsong tutted.

Xu Nannan smiled awkwardly. She understood that this was because of Lin Ge's face. Otherwise, why should people treat themselves well.

After sitting for a while, the food was served. Xu Nannan looked around, but did not see Lin Qingbai's shadow.

Staring at Lin Qingsong, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No, I'm not lying." Lin Qingsong assured with his palm raised. He really mentioned it to his brother in the morning, and he didn't know if his brother listened to it or not. It's not impossible to say, I should have listened to it.

"It must be busy, and it's normal to be late. Otherwise, let's eat first"

"Brother Song."

Lin Qingsong was holding chopsticks for Xu Nannan, when Xu Hong suddenly ran in, gritting her teeth with red eyes, with an aggrieved and complaining look on her face.

Lin Qingsong was startled, completely unexpected that Xu Hong would run out suddenly.

"Well, Xu Hong, you're here to look for the Red Army, right? He's not here today." Why did this girl run out suddenly? Didn't Director Yu misunderstand again

"Brother Song, don't be fooled by this girl. She is on two boats. I saw her with a policeman last time."

Xu Honghong pointed at Xu Nannan with eyes wide open.

She had just been with the two of them all the way. Looking at the hot weather, Brother Song actually accompanied her for such a long journey, and even brought her to a restaurant for dinner. Why. This girl didn't do anything, but Brother Song treated her so well. What are you? For him, her family is tightening their belts now.

What's the situation? Lin Qingsong looked at Xu Nannan and then at Xu Hong.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We had a good meal. Why are you making trouble here? Go back first, and I will ask the Red Army to find you tomorrow."

Regardless of who the policeman was, Xu Hong couldn't be allowed to yell here.

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

Xu Hong said with confidence.

What she saw with her own eyes could be fake

Xu Nannan pursed his lips, and it took only one meal to prevent people from having a good meal. He stood up and said, "Comrade Xu Hong, which eye of yours has seen that I am in two boats? You are talking about your reputation as a bad person here, because you are relying on talking nonsense these days and not breaking the law?" "Xu Nannan, don't you Admit it, I just saw it anyway." Then he said to Lin Qingsong, "Brother Song, what I said is true."

Lin Qingsong's face turned dark. Although he didn't know who the policeman was, he still believed in his brother's vision, and he also believed in his own vision. Even if he was disgusted, which policeman could make the officer like him.

"Comrade Xu Hong, if you want to make trouble again, I will come to Liu Hongjun." Lin Qingsong warned in a cold tone.

"Brother Song..."

"Get out!" Lin Qingsong narrowed his eyes and said, completely without his usual smile. It looked cold and infiltrating.

Xu Hong didn't dare to speak anymore.

Even Oda was holding the dishes on the side, so he didn't dare to get close. What's the matter, isn't it just time to serve the dishes, why is there a quarrel

Just as he was hesitating whether to go there or not, he saw three people coming in at the door, their eyes widening, and they said loudly, "Aunt Li is here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingsong glanced at the door, just in time to see his mother bring Uncle Li and Aunt Li in.

Li Wan didn't expect to meet such a scene when she brought Uncle Li and Aunt Li out for a meal. It was especially suitable for her son to have a gloomy face, which made even a mother feel strange to her.

Looking at the girl standing next to Lin Qingsong again, her lips pursed slightly. What did the lesbian just say, stepping on two boats

Xu Nannan also recognized Li Wan. It's not that she has a good memory, but that she's wearing a long-sleeved military uniform on a hot day, which makes her very impressive.

"Qingsong, what are you making a fuss about, don't pay attention outside." Li Wan looked at her son displeased, and then looked at the people watching.

Lin Qingsong frowned, feeling that he had chosen a bad day today. I thought I was helping my brother, but it turned out to be such a mess. Not to mention being disrupted by Xu Hong, but also met these three.

"It's okay, mom, I have something else to do, so I'll go first. Let you guys eat this table." His brother didn't want to let his mother know what he was doing.

Xu Nannan didn't want to stay any longer, especially after seeing this aunt in military uniform, she felt that the world was too small. It turned out that the one who went around was Lin Qingsong's mother, who was also Brother Lin's stepmother.

What's the matter.

Carrying the bag, he followed Lin Qingsong and prepared to leave. Just arrived at the door, Lin Qingbai walked in wearing a crisp white shirt, military trousers, and pointed leather shoes.

The two sides met, Lin Qingsong covered his face, brother, why are you here at this time

Lin Qingbai was also a little surprised when he watched the two come out. After get off work, he hurried back to the house to take a shower, change his clothes, and get a haircut by the way. He was refreshed, and then hurried over. Why did he just come out? It's not that I've finished eating.

In the room, Li Wan also saw Lin Qingbai, "Smiled, Qingbai is here too, just in time, let's have a meal together."

Lin Qingbai frowned.

Li Wan walked over and smiled at Xu Nannan, "Comrade, why don't you have a meal together? I just heard from that lesbian that your date is a policeman. Our Qingsong invites you to dinner. How can you just eat?" It’s too rude to invite you alone. Would you like to call me over to have a meal together?”

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lin Qingsong was anxious.

He stared fiercely at Xu Hong who dared not speak.

Xu Nannan pursed her lips tightly. She could see that Lin Qingsong's mother had a somewhat contemptuous look in her eyes. It seems that she is the kind of person who has two feet on two boats.

"No need, I don't have a partner, so I don't need to eat. You and your family can eat." He said and walked out with his backpack.

"Nannan." Lin Qingbai walked over and held her arm with one hand.

"Qingbai, what are you doing, be careful." Li Wan reminded with a frown.

Lin Qingbai said with a cold face, "Nannan has nothing to do with anyone. The police were in a mess a while ago and helped me pick up Nannan. As for Qingsong, they invited Nannan to dinner for me."

Li Wan asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

"That's what you think." Lin Qingbai finished speaking coldly, and pulled Xu Nannan away directly.

Too domineering. Lin Qingsong looked at his brother dumbfounded.

The two left without looking back, leaving everyone with their own concerns.

It never occurred to Li Wan that the girl she thought was seducing her son was actually Lin Qingbai's target.

"Mom, you have to change your temper." The master left, and Lin Qingsong was no longer under pressure, so he let the two elders into the house for dinner, "Grandpa and grandma, let's eat first, I just ordered, I know what you want Eating, ordering are all good things."

He talked nonsense with his eyes open, but he made the two elders very happy.

Aunt Li sat down with a smile, and saw Xu Hong standing beside her with red eyes, dumbfounded, and asked, "Do you want to eat with this girl?"

"I don't know you." Lin Qingsong curled his lips. After Xu Hong's ignorant appearance, he was completely in the mood to talk to Xu Hong.

"Nannan is gone, why don't you go?"

Only then did Xu Hong come back to her senses. Looking at Lin Qingsong, then at the others, "Xu Nannan and your brother..."

"Didn't you see it all?"

Xu Hong was shocked again, gritted her teeth, and ran out.

"Xu Nannan?" Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at each other. Li Wan also came over, feeling very bad, "What Xu Nannan?"

"It's not Xu Nannan, it's Yu Nannan." Lin Qingsong took a mouthful of porridge.

Hearing that it was Yu Nannan, the two elders were a little disappointed and didn't ask any more questions. He bowed his head and ate.

On the contrary, the more Li Wan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she couldn't take a bite, "Qingsong, is your brother and that lesbian just now real?"

"Is it true, you don't know how to read it yourself?" Lin Qingsong disliked her the most. I always like to ask the bottom line about other people's affairs. Since she was a child, she had to ask about his brother's situation in the army. When I come back, I have to ask clearly. Now that you are in a relationship, you still have to ask.

"Aren't I concerned about your brother? I'm afraid he will go astray."

Lin Qingsong snorted, "When my brother didn't come back, he didn't look at you, didn't he go wrong?" He took a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, got up and left.

Seeing him leave just like that, Li Wan wanted to slap the table angrily. It's just that her own upbringing prevented her from doing it. "Auntie, look at how these two children are like this. I have been worrying about them all my life. They treat me like an enemy one by one. "

Not to mention Qingsong, even Qingbai disappointed her too much. She hasn't treated this child badly all these years. It's delicious and delicious, even if she doesn't want to eat it herself, she will leave one for him. For his future, let him go to the army, and look for contacts everywhere, so that people can take care of him. Even when that happened later, wasn't she also doing it for the sake of her family, and in the end she blamed her for taking too much care.

Seeing Li Wan like this, Uncle Li and Aunt Li couldn't say anything. Li Wan really had nothing to say to the two children. But even if the children don't kiss her, they can't get involved in such things.

On the embankment, Xu Nannan was walking ahead with his head down, feeling extremely uncomfortable. That person just now, if it wasn't for the sake of Brother Lin's stepmother, she wouldn't hold back her breath and come out like this. No matter what, she has to return a few words to make her ashamed.

Facing Lin Qingbai now, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Qingbai followed closely behind her.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther, Xu Nannan still didn't say a word, so he couldn't hold back anymore, and walked over to hold Xu Nannan's arm.

"Nan Nan."

Xu Nannan was startled by his sudden pull. He stared at him with rounded eyes.

Lin Qingbai looked at her bright eyes, and was a little speechless again. He held back for a while, and said, "Do you have any comments on what I just said to them?"

Xu Nannan shook his head. What's the point of that. Brother Lin didn't say all this for her sake.

Seeing Xu Nannan shaking his head, Lin Qingbai's heart finally fell and he was relieved. In the past few days, he has been worrying about whether Nan Nan has a partner, and what kind of partner Nan Nan should find, so that he can rest assured. As a result, he struggled with it for the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more annoying he became. After going through all the young people I know, I feel that they can pick out problems. Especially thinking of Nan Nan sitting on the back of someone else's bicycle in the future, his heart felt as if soaked in vinegar, sour and bitter. Later, he simply thought about it, wouldn't it be fine to let Nan Nan sit on the back of his bicycle all the time

Thinking about it this way made me feel at ease. Only then did she realize that this little girl had gone to her heart without knowing when.

Maybe it was because the person I respected the most praised her well before, so I remembered it in my heart. Later, when we met for the first time, the petite girl was bullied and pitiful, but in the end she was ruthless, and she was different from other little girls. In the later get-togethers, he believed whatever he said... Call her stupid, but she is always smart. Anyway, I just feel good, and good people can't let go. Always worried about being bullied.

Lin Qingbai cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Then, you also agree?"

Seeing his lack of seriousness, Xu Nannan wondered, "Agree to what?" What did she promise Brother Lin

Lin Qingbai looked at her ignorant face, his serious face couldn't hold back.
