"Su Lin? Are you our Qingxue's boyfriend?"
Mother Lin, who was always smiling, suddenly changed her attitude when she saw such a young Su Lin. She put on a serious face, put on a questioning expression, and asked Su Lin, "How old are you this year? You look a little too young." , it should be much smaller than our Qingxue?"
"Um, um... Auntie, I..."
Su Lin was also taken aback by Mother Lin's change in attitude. It seemed that as Lin Qingxue said, the son-in-law that Mother Lin liked should be mature and steady.
"Mom! Su Lin is my junior student at Beijing Normal University. He is a senior this year and will graduate soon. He is also from Jian'an City. He has no classes these days, so he came home to visit."
Lin Qingxue explained first, pulling Mother Lin to the side while saying, "Mom, don't you still have vegetables in the pot? Go get it quickly! Su Lin and I's stomachs have been growling for a long time."
"You haven't graduated from college yet? How old are you this year?"
As soon as Lin Qingxue introduced that Su Lin had not graduated from college, Mother Lin's face darkened even more, but after all, Su Lin was a guest, so it was not good to get angry in front of Su Lin.
"Almost 22 years old, Mom, age doesn't matter. Isn't sister-brother love popular nowadays? As long as Su Lin and I really love each other."
After saying that, Lin Qingxue took Su Lin's arm and leaned against Su Lin's body, looking sweet and loving.
"Hey... Qingxue, your... Mom told you everything? You need to find a husband who is mature and stable, has a stable job, and is at least older than you, so that he can take care of you. You... why do you just find a husband? Why did you marry a junior brother who is younger than you? Why didn’t you listen to my mother’s words! I’m really angry to death.”
Even with Su Lin aside, Mother Lin couldn't help but talk about Lin Qingxue. But this was the result Lin Qingxue wanted. It seemed that her mother was really dissatisfied with Su Lin. She was already happy in her heart, but Lin Qingxue still pretended to be unconvinced and argued with her mother: "Mom, didn't you tell me to find a boyfriend quickly? I think Su Lin is very good. Yes, he loves me very much, and that is enough. Those mature and steady men you mentioned may not love me as much as Su Lin. I will follow Su Lin."
"You damn girl, I...I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to cook the food first, and then I'll talk to you properly during the meal."
Mother Lin turned around in anger. There were still vegetables cooking in the pot, and she immediately went back to the kitchen.
"Su Lin, your performance is very good! Haha, my mother must be extremely dissatisfied with you now. I believe that after dinner today, my mother will ask me to break up with you."
Lin Qingxue pulled Su Lin to sit on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and praised Su Lin with a smile.
"Teacher Lin, I didn't do anything..."
Su Lin felt a little depressed. He felt very bad when Mother Lin looked at him like that. He was also making up his mind to change Mother Lin's impression of him.
"I told you, call me Xue'er! Otherwise, if my mother hears it, she will be betrayed again, and all your hard work will be in vain."
Pressing on a program at random, Lin Qingxue sat next to Su Lin in a good mood and continued, "You don't have to say anything anyway, just promise my mother a few words from time to time. In other situations, just like before, I will answer for you. . In this way, my mother will have a worse impression of you."
"Xue'er, does Auntie hate you so much for being with boys younger than you?"
Su Lin was on the side and asked Lin Qingxue tentatively.
"That's for sure. According to my mother's theory, most of the boys younger than me are fresh out of college and don't have much money in their hands, let alone taking care of my problems. In fact, it's not just my mother. , according to my idea, if you really want to get married, you should find a man five or six years older than me!"
Now that Lin Qingxue was in a good mood, she said a few words to Su Linduo, "However, a man like that must be very boring! He is busy with work and career all day long, and has no interest at all."
"Then... Xue'er, if... I mean if... a boy younger than you pursues you, and although this boy is younger than you, he is quite rich, then... will your mother accept it?"
Hearing Su Lin's question, Lin Qingxue was stunned, turned around, and stared at Su Lin with strange eyes: "Su Lin, why do you ask this question? This kind of situation should not exist! Who is the boy younger than me who will come? Pursuing me? Those who pursue me are all the middle-aged male teachers in the school."
"Oh! Teacher Lin, just answer my question anyway. If such a boy who is younger and richer than you pursues you, will your mother accept it?"
Su Lin got excited and called him wrong again.
"It depends on how rich you are. If you only have more than ten or two hundred thousand, you can't call it rich. If you are rich, at least in my mother's eyes, you have to have more than one million."
Lin Qingxue thought for a moment and then stared at Su Lin with suspicion, "Su Lin, are you talking about yourself?"
"You want more than one million? That's really rich."
Su Lin changed the topic with a guilty conscience, "Xue'er, there are so many male teachers in school who are pursuing you, why don't you like them?"
"Go! Why do you kid care about this? Those male teachers are all in their thirties or forties and have not found a wife yet. They are all so slovenly that they let me live with such people. It would be better for me to die. .”
In Lin Qingxue's mind, she went through all the male teachers who pursued her in Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, then she quickly shook her head and said.
"Then... Xue'er, what kind of person would you like?"
Su Lin asked further tentatively, but this time, Lin Qingxue did not answer his question so easily, and turned to ask him, "Su Lin, why do you care so much about me? Tell me... is there any man?" The teacher dragged you here to ask me? Is it Mr. Li from the biology group? Or is it Mr. Hong who wears glasses and is bald from the physics group? "
"No! No! I'm just curious."
"Curious? Speaking of which, Sulin, I'm very surprised. How did you suddenly disappear from our house that day? I thought you were hiding in the closet in my room! When my mother was going to open the closet , my heart is about to jump out of my throat... "
Staring at Su Lin, Lin Qingxue remembered what happened that morning.
"That day... I did hide in the cupboard at first, but then I thought I might be exposed by hiding in the cupboard, so I sneaked out again and hid behind the door. As soon as you opened the door and came in, all your attention was on that cupboard, and I Sneaked out of the door."
Su Lin quickly lied and explained. Anyway, Lin Qingxue probably didn't notice what was going on behind the door that day, so she could get away with that.
"Behind the door?"
Lin Qingxue thought for a while, and it seemed that if Su Lin really hid behind the door, he could avoid her and her mother's sight, but it was too dangerous. As long as Lin's mother turned around slightly, Su Lin might be exposed.
"Okay. Teacher Lin, after I answer your question, you should also answer mine! Tell me, what kind of man do you like?"
With a curious look, Su Lin asked expectantly.
"The man I like?"
Lin Qingxue thought about it, and then said angrily, "I have never liked anyone. But I think the person I like must be humorous, able to tolerate me, and take care of me. And at least stay with him. It won’t be boring! After all, we are going to be together for a lifetime.”
Lin Qingxue said this, but as she spoke, she became unsure and murmured, "Actually, I don't know what it feels like to like someone. But I think it would be very beautiful. ! The book says that if you really like someone, you won’t care about those messy conditions. As long as you feel right, you can ignore everything. Sulin, you said... right? "
"As long as it feels right, you can ignore everything?"
Looking at Lin Qingxue at this time, Su Lin seemed to be looking at a little girl who was full of longing for love. Her emotions were so blank. Until now, it seemed that no one had come close to her blank emotional world. And she seems to be full of longing and fear for love, looking forward to the arrival of true love, but afraid that such love will never come.
"Forget it! You won't understand if I tell you this to a little brat like you. Teacher, I have never been in love, so you are even less likely to understand."
As soon as Lin Qingxue finished speaking, Mother Lin brought out the last dish and called them to come and eat.
"Qingxue, Su Lin, the food is ready, come and eat!"
Obviously, Mother Lin's voice now is not as friendly as when she first opened the door. There were several carefully prepared dishes, but now Mother Lin has no intention of cooking at all, so she gave the latter two delicious dishes to her. Just omitted.
But despite this, there are almost ten dishes on the table in front of Su Lin, including chicken, duck, and fish, which is not lacking!
"Well... Su Lin! I just heard from our Qingxue that your family is also from Jian'an? Then... what do your parents do? Are they doing business in Jian'an?"
At the dinner table, since Mother Lin was no longer very concerned about Su Lin's own conditions, she wanted to find out about Su Lin's family background. If Su Lin's family background is strong, for example, his parents are both high-ranking officials in Jian'an City or both are big bosses in business, then you can still consider the matter between him and his daughter Lin Qingxue.
"Auntie, my parents are very ordinary workers."
After taking a bite of the braised pork, it tasted really good. Su Lin answered according to what Lin Qingxue taught her before.
"Are they all ordinary employees? Then... I'm afraid your family's economic conditions are not very good, right?"
Hearing Su Lin say that his parents were ordinary workers, Lin's mother's face became even darker. It seemed that the prospective son-in-law would firmly deny it.
When Lin Qingxue saw her mother's expression getting even worse, she felt happy, and added some pretentious words: "Yes! Mom, you don't even know that the situation at Sulin's family is really not very good. Even for him, It is difficult to come up with money to go to college, so Su Lin was very independent when he was in college. Living expenses and tuition fees were all earned through his work-study program. You see, I asked my family for money for four years in college, and Su Lin You can earn your own tuition and living expenses.”
If it were to others, Lin Qingxue's words would undoubtedly be a compliment to Su Lin, but now in Mother Lin's ears, such praise revealed that the Su Lin family's financial situation was very poor. If you can't afford it, how much money can such a family have
Letting her mother have such judgments and thoughts was exactly the purpose of Lin Qingxue's words. A daughter is her mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket. How could Lin Qingxue not know her mother's thoughts and opinions? The fact that Su Lin was younger than her already made her mother dissatisfied. In addition, Su Lin's family's economic conditions were extremely poor. As a result, her mother would definitely not let her and Su Lin be together no matter what.
"Su Lin, you are quite self-reliant, yes, yes! Auntie also likes children who are self-reliant and self-reliant." Mother Lin's face was sullen, her expressions were suppressed, "But you also know that today's society is like this. In your case, Auntie I understand, and my aunt also understands your family situation. Our Qingxue has been at home since she was a child. Your uncle and I have raised her as a daughter like a princess. She has never been allowed to do menial work or eaten. Too much hardship. If she gets married in the future, your uncle and I can't bear to let her go through hardship. We will definitely find someone for her, not only rich and powerful, but at least a well-matched family, don't you think?"
"That's it! That's it! Auntie, I won't let Xue'er suffer with me."
Su Lin put down the bowl and chopsticks and promised.
"Xiao Su! You still didn't understand what Auntie said." Mother Lin stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point, "According to the conditions of you and your family, Auntie can't let Qingxue suffer with you, so you and I don’t agree with our Qingxue family being together.”
(ps: I recommend a very good book to everyone. It is written by a meticulous master. "Super Soldier" is about punching tall, rich and handsome people, and stepping on the second generation of officials. Remember to read it!)
