"Comrade Nannan, I'm talking to you about a serious matter with a serious attitude." Lin Qingbai tried his best to sullenly, with a serious expression on his face.

Xu Nannan was a little nervous when he said it like this, and swallowed, "I, I'm also listening seriously."

Seeing Xu Nannan like this, Lin Qingbai knew that the other party didn't understand his thoughts. He said it was obvious, isn't it obvious

Still too young.

Lin Qingbai took a breath and looked into her eyes solemnly, Xu Nannan's heartbeat also started to speed up.

He put his hands on Xu Nannan's shoulders, bent down, bowed his head, and said word by word, "Comrade Nannan, let's have a date."

"!!!" Xu Nannan's eyes widened.

What did she just hear? What did Brother Lin say to her, the date? Dating object... fall in love!

Xu Nannan felt that his heartbeat was a little abnormal.

Seeing that Xu Nannan hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Qingbai began to feel irritable again. What do you mean by not talking? Yes or no. This is to refuse, can not find words

"Nannan, I know it's sudden, and I think it's quite sudden. But I think the matter of the object here will happen sooner or later. Isn't it? So we should accept it calmly. Think about it. You are still so young , what should I do if I meet a bad person in the future? What if I marry a bad person and regret it? We have known each other for so long, you know who I am, and my partner is also responsible for the future life, What do you think?"

Lin Qingbai said as softly as possible.

Hearing such nonsense words from him, Xu Nannan's heartbeat finally slowly returned to normal. Although his face was a little red, he was able to think normally. What does it mean to meet a bad person in the future...to find him is to be responsible for the future life

I really thought she was a seventeen-year-old girl.

Didn't everyone she met before say she was a girl? Every time she was serious, she thought she had become a nympho, and felt that her little thoughts had destroyed the pure friendship between them. Now it seems that she is still too naive.

Xu Nannan pouted, "I still think I'm too young."

This is not happy. Lin Qingbai pursed his lips even tighter. The hand holding Xu Nannan's shoulder also exerted force. "It's not too young. After next year, I will be able to get the certificate. It's time to think about it. You and I are in a good relationship. We know each other well. I have a good temper. I'm pretty good looking. Ahem, my income is also good. You can feed your family and have a house to live in.”

"But that aunt just didn't seem to like me very much." Xu Nannan wondered.

This is really a problem. She didn't want to be with Brother Lin in the future and have to go through the war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Seeing that she seemed to be a little loose, Lin Qingbai was overjoyed and pursed his lips and smiled, "We will not live together in the future. I have not lived at home for a long time, and I will be in Nanjiang in the future. Well, there may be transfers, but don't worry, I will go I take you everywhere."

Machismo, why don't you tell me where she is, and he will follow her wherever

Xu Nannan sighed, "Grandpa and grandma are getting old, I don't want to leave Nanjiang."

"... Take them all away. I just came here, so the possibility of transfer is still very small." Lin Qingbai felt that Xu Nannan was posing him one problem after another, and he had to solve all of them before he could know the final answer.

Xu Nannan was silent, and then let go of his hand on his shoulder, "I have to think again."

After speaking, he smiled mischievously, turned and left.

Lin Qingbai saw her leaving just like that, and immediately chased after her, not daring to catch her like before, so he followed behind and said, "Nannan, I'll pick you up tomorrow, the weather is too hot, it's too much to walk. tired."

Xu Nannan turned her head to look at him, "Not good..."

"Isn't it good to pick it up before, don't worry."

"… All right."

Back home, Xu Nannan threw himself on the bed and laughed. Lin Ge became the object... It seems to be very good.

The county party committee compound.

Lin Qingbai grinned all the way back home, and when he entered the room, he saw Lin Qingsong and Li Wan sitting in the room.

Lin Qingsong was humming a little song and fanning the plantain fan. Seeing him coming back, he pouted at Li Wan and made a vicious expression. Said that Li Wan is not in a good mood now.

The corner of Lin Qingbai's mouth twitched, and he went into the house to change his shoes.

"Qingbai, I have something to ask you." Seeing that Lin Qingbai entered the room without saying hello, Li Wan took the initiative to say whether he held on.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qingbai asked while searching for clothes.

Seeing his attitude, Li Wan felt displeased, "Can't you just sit down and talk to me carefully. Qingbai, why have you become like this now? You were always very polite before."

"My politeness was taught by my father. You did that, and my politeness is enough now." Lin Qingbai smiled faintly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Li Wan gritted her teeth, "He's not your father, your father is Lin Changzheng."

Lin Qingbai turned cold, "For me, he is my father."

Lin Qingsong said in a daze, "What are you talking about, what kind of father, whose father?" When did his brother show up with another father

Li Wan looked at him, "You don't need to worry about this matter." Then she looked at Lin Qingbai, trying to calm herself down, "Okay, let's not discuss this matter now. I will ask your lesbian named Yu Nannan, What's going on. You've only been here for a long time, and you're looking for a partner? The child is not too old, do you know her? Do you know her upbringing?" When we met in the mall last time, I knew it was not an easy person to get along with. child.

Lin Qingbai put the towel on his shoulders, "In my opinion, her upbringing is good enough. Also, this is a major event in my life, and no one can interfere, even Lin Changzheng."

After speaking, he took his clothes and went out.

"This child, how could he become like this..." Li Wan trembled angrily. Although this stepson didn't like to talk since he was a child, but after returning home, he is polite, knowledgeable, and has always been excellent. He has been filial to her and Changzheng for so many years, why has it become like this now.

Lin Qingsong wondered, "Has my brother changed? Why didn't I find out."

"Whatever you know, kid, you know how to be mad at me." Li Wan wiped her tears angrily, opened the door and walked out.

Lin Qingsong shook his head and sighed, "Why do you care so much?"

Back at the guest house, Li Wan began to wipe away tears again.

Aunt Li twisted a towel to wipe her face distressedly, "I think that little girl looks pretty good. Qingbai likes it, so just leave it alone. He will blame you later." This is a stepmother, let's not care about the children in front of her matter.

Li Wan's eyes were red, "Auntie, what do you think I'm doing this for, and it's not for this family. How many people are staring at Lao Lin in this position. In the future, this matter will change as soon as it is said. Find someone who is in the right family, and more people will protect him in the future."

"That's up to her to be happy. Since Lao Li and I didn't agree with Lao Xu's family back then, wouldn't Xiaojing marry anyway?"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Li closed her mouth again.

At first it was Xiaojing who clamored to sever relations with her. Xiaowan was still very angry at the time. If Xiaowan hadn't taken them away, I don't know if they would have survived this moment.

Hearing Aunt Li mention her own daughter, Li Wan didn't show any displeasure, "If you miss her, I'll ask someone to find out how she's doing later. It's okay to meet her. If you are like this now, it won't be a drag. she."

Aunt Li blushed, "Forget it, forget it."

At the beginning, the daughters disliked them as servants in the landlord's house. Although they were liberated later, in the eyes of others, they used to be servants of the landlord's family who sold themselves into slavery. Moreover, the two of them were also grateful for the kindness of the Li family, so they stayed at the Li family. Xiao Jing was very proud, seeing that she was liberated and equal, she decided to get married in private.

It was the eldest son of the old Xu family who was looking for. He said he was a soldier and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. At that time, neither she nor the old man was happy. They thought it would be great to find an honest man who farmed the fields so that the family could live in peace. The old lady of the old Xu's family was a naughty and naughty girl when she was young. She was a girl from a poor family and she learned how to wrap her feet, so she couldn't do any work. When the Eighth Route Army passed by, she would go to them all day long, help make a few pairs of shoes, and yell that the head of the family knew about it. When the puppet soldiers came, they had to go to the market with them. When they met the puppet soldiers, they turned their heads and ran away in fright, but they were thought to be spies. They were shot in the shoulder and almost exposed, but they went back and said It was to cover the soldiers in the village. Can such a mother-in-law get along well

It's a pity that the girl didn't listen and severed ties with them. Thinking about it now, Aunt Li felt wronged.

Seeing Aunt Li like this, Li Wan also felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he is not his own, so naturally it is bad. It's just that Li Jing... Thinking of that girl who had no conscience since she was a child, she wasn't going to look for it.

At the mine, Li Jing was also depressed, her niece Xu Hong came back late, and old Xu didn't leave her food. When I came back, I didn't say a word, and I didn't say anything when I asked.

Old Xu asked her how the exam was going, but she didn't speak. Old Xu lost his temper.

Now Li Jing was also afraid that Xu Jiansheng would lose his temper, so she didn't dare to speak.

Xu Jiansheng turned cold for a while, and said, "Honghong, if you fail the entrance exam and you can't go to high school, I won't go to the mine to help you find a relationship to study. What’s more, people will definitely reserve places for those with good grades. If you don’t live up to your expectations and fail the exam, go back to your hometown.”

Such a big niece, after so many years, will only cause trouble now, and Xu Jiansheng doesn't want to continue to take care of her.

If they were in the village, they would all be married and become mothers, so they wouldn't have to worry about it.

Hearing that she was going back to her hometown, Xu Hong panicked even more. After knowing that Xu Nannan was with Lin Qingsong's elder brother, she felt uneasy. Lin Qingsong's eldest brother, isn't he the county armed minister? He's even more powerful than Liu Hongjun's old man. Even if she gets along with Liu Hongjun, it still depends on Xu Nannan's face.

If the family members know about this, they will have to look at her. The first one to betray must be the aunt. This is her only supporter. Now that she has to go back to her hometown again, isn't her life coming to an end? She felt disgusted when she thought that when she returned to her hometown, she would only be able to marry someone who ate in the fields.

"Uncle, uncle, I'm okay in the exam, really." No matter what, you have to take it easy first, and you will definitely find a way to stay in the city.

She gritted her teeth secretly.

Xu Jiansheng didn't say much, got up and went back to the single dormitory. Anyway, after the results come out, we will see the situation.

"Two ya!"

The next day when Xu Nannan arrived at the mine cheerfully, Xu Hong stopped him. In the guard room, Uncle Wei looked towards them, as if he was afraid that they would fight.

Xu Nannan raised his eyebrows, "What, you want to talk nonsense again to ruin my reputation? Don't shoot yourself in the foot."

Xu Hong endured it, but she couldn't hold it back, "Erya, don't be complacent, Lin Qingsong's mother probably doesn't like you, if she knows that you have severed ties with her family, she will definitely dislike you even more." Very proud, feeling that he was holding onto Xu Nannan's tricks.

Last night, she was thinking about what to do, and then she thought, Brother Song's family is a big family, how can she find a wild girl who doesn't even recognize her parents. She didn't believe that Xu Nannan was not afraid at all.

Xu Nannan twisted his mouth, completely ignoring her, and walked away on his own.

"Erya, don't go. As long as you help me and Brother Song, I won't report on you. I can still help you when we become sisters-in-law in the future."

"Go and report it," Xu Nannan waved his hand indifferently. directly into the mine.

Wei Guobing worriedly asked her what was the matter, Xu Nannan said, "She has nothing to do."

"This child, I really don't know how to be grateful. At any rate, Director Xu raised her so well. However, she has not had a good life for a few days. If she fails in this exam, she will not be able to enter high school. Director Xu plans to send her back to the countryside. .”

Hearing this, Xu Nannan was surprised, "He is willing to send these nieces back to the countryside?" She thought Xu Jiansheng was planning to raise them for the rest of his life.

Wei Guobing said embarrassingly, "Why can't you bear it? It's unreasonable to raise such a big girl. The point is, this child is too restless." For a while, he sent him by bicycle, and then went to the instructor Lin.

Xu Nannan thought in his heart that if Xu Jiansheng agreed to send her back, Li Jing would not agree, and Xu Meizi would not be filial to her. If Xu Hong was sent away at this moment, half of her bamboo basket would leak.

But the matter of the old Xu family is not her business, so naturally she won't take it to heart.

Because it was the beginning of the month, wages and various vouchers were issued in the morning, and food was supplied. At noon, Zhu Fang asked her to go to the restaurant for a toothbrush.

Not only her, but other unmarried young men and women are thinking about improving their lives on this day.

Li Weiming said, "Why don't you go to my house for dinner and ask my mother to cook something delicious. We can buy food and cook it ourselves, and we can do a lot better. The restaurant is not worth it." When he planned to get married, he thought about it a lot. I plan to use these food stamps to exchange some industrial tickets with other colleagues at the trade union, and prepare things for the wedding. The bed sheets and quilts are all gone. Zhu Fang's natal family can't rely on it, and the dowry is impossible, so I have to start saving now.

Hearing Li Weiming's words, Zhu Fang's face also turned cold. Eat with a puffy face. I didn't mention going to a restaurant to eat anymore.

In this kind of matter, Xu Nannan can't say who is right and who is wrong. In terms of future thinking, Zhu Fang's thinking is correct, but Li Weiming also thinks more realistically.

Back in the office, Xu Nannan still persuaded Zhu Fang in private, "If you have an idea, you should talk about it face to face. This is not the answer. Brother Li actually thinks more practically. He is more thoughtful in his work. in many ways.”

Zhu Fang said unhappily, "How many times have I said it? Did he listen? Just say that I have to change this, and that. When we met, I was like this. Why did you fall in love with me before?"

Xu Nannan really didn't know how to answer these words. She can help with the bed sheets and quilts when they got married, but after that, it's still the two of them's business to live a long-term life, and it's not easy for others to intervene.

Xu Nannan couldn't help thinking, if he and Lin Qingbai were together, how would Lin Qingbai arrange it.

Cough cough cough, why did I think of getting married? I really think too much!

Knowing that Lin Qingbai was coming to pick him up in the afternoon, Xu Nannan slowly packed his things, and only left the mine when the office staff were almost gone.

As soon as he arrived at the mine gate, he saw Lin Qingbai in a short-sleeved shirt chatting with Uncle Wei. And he didn't even ride a bicycle.

Seeing Xu Nannan coming, Lin Qingbai and Uncle Wei said something and greeted him.

"The car broke down. Let's walk back slowly." Lin Qingbai smiled with crooked eyes. The performance is very gentle.

It's broken by such a coincidence

Xu Nannan didn't believe it. No, he ran to the gate. Xu Nannan looked at him.

Lin Qingbai smiled, and recruited to Uncle Wei, "Uncle Wei, let's go first."

"Oh, good. Let's talk tomorrow." Uncle Wei seemed very happy.

After leaving the mine gate, Xu Nannan puffed up his eyes and said, "Why did you come to the mine gate?"

Lin Qingbai raised his eyebrows, "I'm shabby, shameless?"

"No, it makes people see..."

"Nannan, it's not good for you to think like this. You see, those gay men are chasing lesbians, and they are all chasing after you. Of course, I have to chase you openly, otherwise other gay men don't know that you are being chased. Come to your side, isn't it easy to cause misunderstandings?"

Xu Nannan actually thought he was quite reasonable when he said this. But she felt in her heart that Lin Qingbai's words were preposterous.

Seeing her go in, Lin Qingbai smiled, "The date is open and aboveboard, why do you have to be sneaky. It's not popular to run underground organizations now."

How come this is the object of the ascendant. "Didn't you just talk about chasing him, and now you're in love?" Xu Nannan squinted his eyes and asked him. I don't want her to think that she is really stupid.

Lin Qingbai said righteously, "Chairman Mao said that any pursuit that does not aim at the target is hooliganism."

"Aren't you married?"

"It's all the same. Getting married is a matter of time." After speaking, he asked, "How do you know?"

"..." When will Chairman Mao's Quotations be released.

"Ahem, what we're talking about now is the matter of dating. Be serious." Xu Nannan said seriously.

Lin Qingbai's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Yes, I'm talking about my partner now. I'm talking about it very seriously."

Xu Nannan didn't know how to reply to what he said. Pouting his mouth, he walked slowly. A full playful look.

With a smile on his face, Lin Qingbai walked next to her, and as he walked, his hands slowly touched each other, hooking them bit by bit.

Xu Nannan froze for a moment, and just as he was about to stagger away, his palm was tightly held by a big hand. My heart skipped a beat, but I didn't let go.

Not being rejected, Lin Qingbai let out a long sigh of relief, and the heart in his throat finally fell into place. The smile on his face became more and more like a spring breeze. In this hot summer, he felt comfortable all over.

This time it was finally delivered to your doorstep. It's just that he didn't enter the door after all. Xu Nannan felt that it was too fast to come to the door just after the date.

Lin Qingbai didn't come in, but the neighbors saw it, and came to inquire about Lin Qingbai after a while. Only then did Grandma Yu know that her granddaughter's partner hadn't come to the door just now, and she was so disappointed that she sent the neighbors away to ask Xu Nannan.

"I just fell in love, how can I bring it to the door so quickly?"

"Hurry up, see you sooner, we can palm eyes too. I heard that the young man is very energetic." Grandma Yu said excitedly.

Finally, I was looking forward to it. If you find a partner here, marriage is not far away. Maybe she can still help with the baby.

Old ladies dream of having children.

Seeing that she was so happy, Xu Nannan didn't want to disappoint her, so he said, "Okay, I'll bring it to the door as soon as possible."

No wonder he had to send it to the door just now, it was premeditated. Xu Nannan found that after changing his relationship with Lin Qingbai, he seemed to see many things clearly in an instant. For example, I used to think that he was a generous and serious big brother, but now that I think about it, it's not like that at all.

Lin Qingbai didn't know who he had finally met, so he began to analyze his behavior. When he returned to the county party committee, he was in a very good mood. He invited Lin Qingsong and Director Gao to have dinner together, and remembered the last time he met the county magistrate Sun's wife. Son, and invited magistrate sun by the way.

Several people sat at a table in the state-run restaurant and had a hearty meal. It's just that county magistrate Sun and director Gao are a little cloudy about what they eat. After this meal, he didn't mention a single business matter. Is it really so simple for Xiao Lin to invite them to a meal

Isn't it that simple, or do you want them to realize something by themselves

When Liu Jianjun heard at home that these people had a meal together, he was very angry.

This is to make trouble.

Lin Qingsong looked at his brother's face full of spring, and thought to himself, this must be the sweetness of Yu's work. His brother is quite capable. Yesterday, Officer Yu left in a huff. It's all good so soon.

After work the next day, the new employee rode a bicycle to the mine to pick him up.

Xu Nannan looked at it tangled, whether he sat on it or not. When the car started, she grabbed Lin Qingbai's clothes directly. What dare not, this is her object!

"Li Jing, the girl whose surname was changed in your family is getting more and more promising now. I heard from Lao Wei that she was a target of the county party committee and came here on a bicycle. She is more energetic than the one who sent Honghong last time. Lah. Why do you think you are so good at raising daughters? The ones you raise are more successful than the other, and you can find someone in the county committee casually."

Sister-in-law Jiao, holding sunflower seeds, came from home to the bachelor dormitory to gossip with Li Jing.

Li Jing was cooking, when she heard this, she raised her head and said, "Impossible, just like her?"

"Why is that impossible? How long has it been since you looked at your girl, or is she willing to feed her child? No, there is meat on her face, and she is a lucky one. You, in the future Just wait and enjoy."

After finishing talking, the melon seeds were also finished nibbling. They clapped their hands and went home smiling.

Li Jing knew that Mrs. Jiao was trying to make her feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Why is that girl really getting better and better. I don't know what kind of person the county party committee is looking for. If you have a bicycle, it can't be too bad.

After thinking about it, the knot in my heart became bigger and bigger. When Xu Hong came back from the outside, she brought up the matter with Xu Hong, "Why are you in love with each other, and you haven't made any movement. You made such a big fuss before, why didn't you believe me later?"

As soon as Xu Hong heard her address, she knew that Li Jing's heart was beginning to waver. It used to be that girl, but now it's called Nannan.
