On the weekend, Lin Qingbai came to the door with a pig's trotter, melons and fruits, and two boxes of pastries.

This is a very nice gift at this time.

Some families who are short of food can marry a girl with half a bag of sweet potatoes. The gift Lin Qingbai brought to the door for the first time made the eyes of the neighbors turn red. But looking at the tall, energetic grandson-in-law, I knew it was not easy to mess with, but no one said anything sour.

Grandma Yu entered the door from Lin Qingbai, without closing the corners of her mouth, she took Lin Qingbai's arm and stared at it several times in a daze.

"The young man is really spirited."

"I feel refreshed when I'm full." Xu Nannan laughed beside him. I can't see Lin Qingbai's carefree look.

Grandma Yu said, "Qingbai is a soldier. My son used to be a soldier. Our family is really destined." Because her son is a soldier, the old lady naturally feels close to the soldier.

"Cough, cough, cough." Grandpa Yu coughed a few times beside him, looking very serious.

Lin Qingbai smiled, "Grandpa."

Ouch, Grandpa Yu's heart was full of joy when he called grandpa, he was so stupefied that he couldn't even utter a difficult word, and he couldn't see his teeth in his smile, "Oh, so what, our Nannan is a good boy, you have to treat her well."

Lin Qingbai looked at Xu Nannan, "I definitely will."

Xu Nannan blushed.

Xiao Man and Mu Mu Shi ate cakes beside them and dared not speak. After a while, Xiaoman asked in a low voice, "Is my sister getting married? Is this my brother-in-law?"

Lin Qingbai smiled gently, "Your sister will marry me in the future, and I will be your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law." Xiaoman called out in a low voice, then ran away embarrassedly. Eyes secretly aimed at this brother-in-law. With her brother-in-law around in the future, no one would dare to bully her sister. Even the old grandma Xu's family can't do it.

Lin Qingbai didn't know that his sister-in-law was so shy, and couldn't help but look at Xu Nannan and smile. The temperament of the two sisters is also too different.

I also feel that Nannan's personality may have been like this before, but later she had no one to rely on, only herself, and that's how it became like now. Looking at Nan Nan's eyes, he felt a little distressed.

Xu Nannan was being made a little uncomfortable by Xiaoman's brother-in-law, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Qingbai's distressed eyes, and suddenly wondered, what happened? What is going on in his head

Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu were secretly happy when they saw the two children 'eyebrows expressing love'. It looks like it's all taken care of. It was finally done.

At noon, Xu Nan went to the kitchen, but Grandma Yu didn't care.

According to her idea, let the man see his granddaughter's ability, know that his granddaughter is a good girl who can manage the house, and it will be even rarer in the future.

Xu Nannan was also helpless with the old lady's idea. She has no problem with cooking, but she doesn't want Lin Qingbai to marry her because she cooks well. It's better to marry a chef and go back.

Xu Nannan followed Xiaoman to cook in the kitchen, Xiaoman helped to light the fire, Xu Nannan was chopping vegetables, full of resentment. Why do women have to cook and do housework? She can also make money, okay

After a while, Lin Qingbai walked in with a smile on his face. Seeing Xu Nannan pouted, he went over to hold the spoon without saying anything.

Xiaoman watched her brother-in-law come in, and lowered her head again.

Xu Nannan looked at him, "Why are you here, grandpa and grandma asked you to come here?"

"I told you to take a look, but they didn't say anything." How could Lin Qingbai not know what the old man was thinking. When looking for a grandson-in-law, I naturally want to find someone who knows the cold and the hot. If he really sits outside and acts as an uncle, I guess the old man and the old lady will be dissatisfied if they don't talk about it.

Besides, things like cooking are really not that difficult. In the past in Shanghai, after his mother died of illness, he cooked all the meals at home. No way, the other two are academics, not cooks.

Seeing Lin Qingbai standing in front of the stove with a straight figure and waving a spatula, cooking is in full swing. Xu Nannan couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth in a daze.

After this meal, everyone was very satisfied.

This time, Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu really decided on this grandson-in-law. Everything is good, can't fault it. It doesn't matter if you're a little older, it's steady and it hurts.

After dinner, let Xu Nannan and Lin Qingbai go out for a walk alone. How can it not be the object of this place.

The three children wanted to go out together, but were stopped by Grandpa Yu and took them out for a walk.

As soon as Xu Nannan and Lin Qingbai left, someone came to inquire about Xu Nannan's partner.

Those who can get so many things must not be ordinary people, otherwise who would be willing to do so. Some people speculated whether it was because of their small two-room house that Grandma Yu should be careful not to be deceived.

This is to say that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes. There are also a few of them who are interested in Xu Nannan, who has a job and looks good. Such a daughter-in-law has no place to choose. But it's just dragging three oil bottles. Although the two elders of the Yu family also pay subsidies every month, but when they are older, it is a drag. In case I can't move after lying on the bed, I still need someone to wait on me. Thinking that the two elders of the Yu family are not in good health, Xu Nannan is still young, and after a while, maybe the two elders will be gone, so sister Xu Nannan will guard the house and marry back home to be a daughter-in-law.

Who knew that he would be cut off so quickly.

Grandma Yu also knew what they were thinking, and when she heard Lin Qingbai say this, she immediately became unhappy, "Our family Nan Nan doesn't need our house, the county party committee has a suite, it's enough for the young couple to live in.

Those who can share a suite in the county party committee, that's fine. Immediately, I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so as not to offend others.

It was only at this time that Xu Nannan realized why people in this era can't be romantic anymore.

A small place like Nanjiang doesn't even have a movie theater. If you want to watch a movie, you have to go to the provincial capital city to watch it. I can't watch movies, let's go shopping... I don't have to go shopping, it's just a supply and marketing cooperative, and it's quite big, but when you go, good things are always sold out.

Want to hold a small hand, just hold it, people passing by on the street can't wait to stare at these hands.

Xu Nannan had no choice but to press side by side on the road with a distance of one foot. After pressing for a while, I felt that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I simply walked to the river bank.

At this time, there are few people and no one. When they reached the embankment, Xu Nannan held Lin Qingbai's hand directly, and the two stood together to watch the scenery.

This is like being an object.

Lin Qingbai looked at the top of her hair and secretly smiled. Xiao Nizi is still young, and she still has to go to the city next week.

Xu Nannan stared at the willows by the river, thinking about what romantic way to fall in love in this era. Don’t even think about SMS and WeChat, um, why don’t you write a letter? It seems that pen pals are not popular at the moment. She and Lin Qingbai are pen pals for romance, which seems to be a bit of a waste of stamps.

stamp

Xu Nannan suddenly thought of it. I can't wait to pat myself on the head. How could such a big thing be forgotten. "Brother Lin,"

She looked up at Lin Qingbai, her eyes sparkling, "Do you distribute stamps?"

Lin Qingbai raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why she asked this question suddenly, "This was issued in the army before, but now the armed forces have not issued it."

"Ahem, I just heard that, didn't you send out some Blue Army post before, do you still have it?" Her eyes became brighter, and Lin Qingbai could see the small flames inside.

His eyes flickered, and he thought, "I'm not interested in this. I didn't need to buy stamps before. I really don't know. But I heard that they were destroyed."

Of course Xu Nannan knew that it was destroyed, otherwise it wouldn't be so valuable later.

"Can I still find it? I want to collect stamps, why don't we collect more sets." There will be no need to buy a house for the children in the future. One set of Blue Army mail for each person...

Lin Qingbai clenched his fist against his lips, and coughed lightly, wondering, "I can't find this one. I haven't seen it in the past few years."

When Xu Nannan heard this, his shoulders froze for a moment. Like frosted eggplant.

Lin Qingbai rubbed the top of her hair soothingly.

When Lin Qingsong came home at night, he saw his brother flip through the bookcase and finally took out a booklet.

Seeing this, Lin Qingsong curled his lips. His brother didn't know where he learned it. He was obviously a soldier, and he was quite young, and he even collected stamps. I don't know what to keep this kind of thing for.

Lin Qingbai flipped through for a while, and finally found the stamps he had collected before. Seeing the brand new three stamps on it, he smiled. I don't know what's so good about this thing, it makes Xiao Nizi miss it so much. But she likes it.

Put it in the notepad that he carried with him, and only then did he realize that his brother Lin Qingsong had returned.

Seeing that Lin Qingbai was finally free, Lin Qingsong sat up straight, "Brother, I heard from that boy Liu Hongjun today that his father said at home that you are leaving soon. It seems that there is news from the capital asking you to go back or something."

Now Liu Hongjun has completely rebelled and has become his lackey. Tell all the news about his father Liu Jianjun. But Lin Qingsong didn't believe all of them, "I don't know if this kid is telling the truth."

Lin Qingbai's face changed, he pursed his lips tightly, stood up and walked out.

The dormitory of the county party committee and the guest house of the county party committee are in the same yard. Within two minutes, Lin Qingbai knocked on Li Wan's door.

Li Wan opened the door and saw Lin Qingbai standing at the door with a bit of surprise on her face.

Open the door, "Qingbai is here, come in and talk."

Lin Qingbai walked in the door with a cold face. Aunt Li was making clothes inside. When she saw him coming, she greeted him and continued to work with her head down.

Li Wan walked over from behind him, "Why did you come here suddenly?" She hadn't paid any attention to her mother before.

"Did you send a telegram to the capital?" Lin Qingbai looked at her.

Li Wan didn't expect Lin Qingbai to know about it so soon. "I didn't say anything, I just told your dad about the situation here. His idea is also to want you to go back. After all, there is no future here."

"Comrade Li Wan, do you think that Lin Changzheng's little bit of power can let you cover the sky with one hand. Who are you learning from? You don't have that ability, so you'd better keep yourself safe. Don't cause trouble, and the whole Lin family will be there for you." Burial."

This is the first time Li Wan heard such a tone, trembling with anger, "Qingbai, is this the tone you are talking to me?"

"I'm talking to a class of landlords with low ideological consciousness. Do you know what you are doing? Taking advantage of that little privilege, you are dictating what to do in the army. If there is trouble in the future, you will be the first to have an accident. You have to be involved The person you rely on."

"I'm not doing this for you." Li Wan's eyes were red with anger, "It's all for your future."

"Don't say it's for me. The future is true, but it's not for me. You know who it is for." Lin Qingbai's face was cold, and he didn't even want to pretend to be harmonious.

Li Wan's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it.

Lin Qingbai lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly, "I will do what you wish, and I will take care of Qingsong in the future. But your control over me ends here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away without even looking at Li Wan.

Coming like a gust of wind, and leaving quickly, Aunt Li was too scared to react.

Why did that child talk to Xiao Wan like that just now

"Xiaowan? What's the matter? Why is that child so angry?"

"It's okay, the child is having a temper tantrum." Li Wan gritted her teeth and wiped her eyes. She didn't expect Lin Qingbai to see her thoughts long ago. Even Qingsong didn't understand these years, but he saw it.

"Aunt Li, let's go back to the capital in two days."

"Ah? Oh." Aunt Li was startled, hesitated, but agreed.

Going to work on Monday, Xu Nannan's face glowed red.

Even Sister Liu teased her that it was a good thing.

"It's early, it will take two years anyway." Xu Nannan smiled, and suddenly his face froze, after two years...

"It's nothing after two years. Your partner looks pretty good. I watched it secretly last time. He is reliable."

Sister Liu said in the tone of a person who came over.

There was something hidden in Xu Nannan's heart, and he suddenly became a little dazed. After coming here, she has been busy making herself survive, how to survive better, it seems that there are some things that she subconsciously don't think about.

"Officer Yu, someone is looking for him."

Suddenly someone shouted at the door. As soon as Xu Nannan went out, it was Xiao Gao, the guard. She followed and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's a lesbian, a middle-aged lesbian." Xiao Gao laughed. "By the way, officer Yu, your partner is really nice, and he can get along with all of us."

When Xu Nannan heard someone praise Lin Qingbai, he felt honored in his heart, and said modestly, "It's because of your good temper that you get along well."

At the door, Xu Nannan was a little surprised when he saw someone coming, but he seemed to be expecting it.

Is the legendary dumping of food stamps coming

Li Wanduan sat on the chair in the guard's room, and Uncle Wei and several other guards beside him seemed uncomfortable.

Xu Nannan walked over, "Let's go out and talk, this is where people work, so don't disturb others going to work."

Li Wan just stood up, looked at a few people, and walked out the door.

When he walked outside, he stopped when he couldn't hear the conversation between the two in the guard room.

Xu Nannan looked at her, not as nervous as others, "Is there something wrong?"

"Is this your attitude towards the object's mother?" Li Wan asked displeased.

"Don't you deny it?" Xu Nannan looked indifferent.

Li Wan was stunned, whether it was a fit or not, she bit her lips, "As you wish, I'm going back to the capital soon. I won't disturb your affairs anymore. But I still hope you can think about Qingbai. He He is a very outstanding young man. Before he came to Nanjiang, he would have been promoted to the regimental rank. Do you know how difficult it is at this age. We all hope that he can go back to the capital. But you also know, do It's not easy to be a cadre, and someone needs to help. We have been planning to tell him a daughter of his father's old friend, so that we can take care of each other in the future. If you are really good for Qingbai, I hope you can consider what I said words." The tone was not as condescending as before, but rather like a mother who was worried about her child's future.

She didn't dare to do anything with Lin Qingbai anymore, so she could only find this young lesbian.

Xu Nannan laughed and sneered after hearing this.

"Brother Lin came home at the age of fourteen, and you arranged for him to join the army at the age of fifteen. Is this for his own good? I am an ordinary citizen, and I don't know what the future is, and I don't know that being a cadre requires forming a party for personal gain. I only know , Brother Lin is an adult, he knows what he wants to do, and no one can make decisions for him. You are not his mother, and you don't love him, but I am his object, and I love him. "

Li Wan didn't expect this young girl to be sharp-tongued, and she laughed angrily, "Li Jing can still give birth to a girl like you."

Xu Nannan frowned. Did he know Li Jing

Li Wan seemed to feel that she had made a slip of the tongue, and pursed her lips, "It sounds so nice, but it's just that I can't bear to leave Qingbai. I can't control you anymore, someone will control you."

She sneered at Xu Nannan, turned around and left.

Xu Nannan snorted and didn't take her seriously at all.

It's not Brother Lin's real mother, and she doesn't treat Brother Lin well, so she doesn't need to respect her.

In the afternoon when Lin Qingbai came to pick her up, Xu Nannan didn't help to hide it, so he told Lin Qingbai about Li Wan's visit to her and what the two of them had said.

Lin Qingbai stepped on and stepped on, getting more and more energetic.

I was not in a hurry to go home, so I went for a drive in the outskirts of the city, and stopped when I saw the scenery improved.

Looking at the little girl who was a head shorter than himself, Lin Qingbai couldn't help but stretched out his hand to see her tightly hugged in his arms.

Soft, so small, she even said that she felt sorry for him.

Lin Qingbai felt like laughing, but his eyes couldn't help being hot.

Xu Nannan's head was held in his arms, feeling a little stuffy, he struggled out to look at him, and said seriously, "Will you go back to the capital in the future?"

To be honest, she still needs some courage to let her leave Nanjiang and go to the capital. The life here is very stable, and she has to take care of grandma and Xiaoman, so she can't leave here.

If you get it, you have to take responsibility. Grandma gave her a house, and she wanted them to enjoy their old age in peace. This was the promise she had made to herself.

Lin Qingbai looked down at her, "Not yet. In the future... it will take a long time." After leaving there, he has no intention of going back for the time being.

"It's fine if you don't go back, who knows, it will be fine." Xu Nannan thought that it would be fine if Lin Qingbai didn't go back.

Lin Qingbai couldn't help pinching her hair, looked at her little face, and resisted kissing her. After calming down, he let go of Xu Nannan, took out a notepad from his arms, and opened the page with the stamps in front of Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan was wondering, when something she dreamed of appeared in front of her eyes.

"This is… "

"Isn't it the blue post you wanted? I just found this one. You don't know how difficult it is..." Lin Qingbai felt that he should work harder.

As soon as the words fell, his eyes blurred, and his neck was hugged tightly, and then his lips were bitten.

Lin Qingbai's whole body felt like an electric shock. From his body to his head, it was all wood. When he realized it, Xu Nannan was holding stamps and smiling happily.

Xu Nannan looked at him with bright eyes, "Thank you Brother Lin."

This is more than two million.

Xu Nannan suddenly felt that his hands were heavy.

Lin Qingbai looked at her lips, recalling the tenderness just now, his dark eyes lit up, he lowered his head, and met those red lips precisely.

Xu Nannan felt that he was surrounded by a strange atmosphere, he was a little out of breath, and he was a little buoyant. Seems to be getting dizzy...

I don't know how long it took before we separated.

Xu Nannan's face was hot, and his fists clenched subconsciously... Feeling something was wrong, he looked down and saw that the precious treasure in his hand was wet with sweat. One of them was already limp.

Looking at Lin Qingbai with a look of love in front of her, she couldn't hold back, she clenched her fist and hit him lightly a few times, prodigal son, do you know how much this is worth

Can you say hello and kiss again, at least put the baby away before kissing again.

Lin Qingbai thought she was being kissed, and was upset, so he became anxious and was about to coax her, so he heard her say, "Give me back my stamp, give me back my stamp!"

Lin Qingbai, "..."

Lin Qingsong found that his brother was not normal today, he even looked at it with his mirror, and touched his lips from time to time. Then I was in a daze again, and after a while, I smiled again on my face.

It's too abnormal, and I don't know what Director Yu did to make his brother like this.

Back home, Xu Nannan was still regretting his stamps.

When she was holding the stamps, she had already thought about it. She would not sell the stamps, and if she didn't really need to spend money in the future, she would keep them. After all, it is the most expensive thing that Lin Qingbai gave to himself. Keep it and pass it on to his descendants in the future, and tell them, look, how valuable the token of love your grandfather gave you back then.

Now it's all right, two crumpled ones, and one of them is missing a little corner on the other side.

After sorting out the stamps, they still looked crumpled, felt distressed for a few seconds, and simply put them in Taobao.

In the middle of the night, Xu Nannan was woken up by the ding ding in his head.

[Old Antique]: The stamp, is it real

Xu Nannan glanced at the message in a daze, and sent a message depressed, "Have I ever sold fakes? This is not for sale. Rest, don't bother."

Offline, continue to sleep.

On the far side, a certain young man looked at the photos on the Taobao store in wonder. He looked dazed.

Li Wan was really ready to leave. This time, Nanjiang and his party were not only to take Lin Qingsong back, but also to repair their relationship with Lin Qingbai. But now it looks like a mess. The child Qingsong is grown up now, so she can't control it. Qingbai is even more determined.

She thought about it, and felt that it was not enough for her to come forward, she had to go back and discuss it with Lao Lin.

As for Qingbai and Li Jing's daughter, don't worry. They can't get married yet, there is still time. There is no need to make trouble with Qingbai on this, and the last bit of affection will be lost by then.

After figuring it out, Li Wan became more and more clear in her heart, and even felt that before she left, she could repair the relationship with the two children again. Early in the morning, I went to find the two of them, and wanted to have a meal with the family.

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened the door.

Director Gao's daughter-in-law came out to empty the urinal, saw her knocking on the door, and said with a smile, "I must have gone out. Brother Lin and his brother have been going out early every day recently."

Seeing her carrying the urinal, Li Wan felt a little uncomfortable, so she smiled and turned around to leave.

Director Gao's daughter-in-law looked at the urinal in her hand, and wondered, the two brothers, Minister Lin, were not so particular about it.

Back in the house, Li Wan's expression was still not good. I think it's the two brothers avoiding her.

Aunt Li said, "Xiaowan, are you really leaving?"

Li Wan nodded, "Old Lin told me to go back early, I have something to discuss with him."

Aunt Li sighed secretly. When Li Wan went out again, she sat on the bed and thought about it. She couldn't help it, and went downstairs to the yard to find Uncle Li who was walking. Going back, I don’t think there will be a chance to come back in this life. I always want to see Xiaojing. After all, it’s my daughter. If she doesn’t recognize me, I’ll just take a look. I won’t worry about it in the future.”
