Chapter 14: Marriage Proposal (2)
Dozens of minutes later, when they arrived downstairs, Lin Yanhuan pressed the elevator door button and said: "I moved out last month, and I haven't seen my parents for a long time, the company is very busy during this time, and I don't know how they are doing." ”
"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Yansheng looked at him in surprise,
"I knew that I would come back early, and when I called my parents, they kept saying that they missed me very much, that the house was a little deserted, and I thought you were too busy to spend time with them. ”
"I'm busy even if I live at home. Lin Yanhuan felt a little guilty,
"I came back too late at night, and my mother still had to leave the door for me, and I couldn't sleep well, so I simply moved out. ”
"You and I have gone out to live, and the house is even more deserted. Lin Yansheng sighed,
"Mom and Dad are retiring, so we have to find something for them to do. ”
"Don't worry, they have their own ideas. Lin Yanhuan blocked the open elevator door and let her sister walk in first, and then walked in herself.
"Dad said that when you come back, let's go out as a family and relax. They have never gone too far to play, and when we grow up, it's time to take them out for a walk. ”
"You're right. Lin Yansheng thought of the two kind faces of her parents, and the depression in her heart finally lightened, she smiled, and couldn't wait to run to the house immediately.
She could hardly wait for her parents to open the door, so she took the key and opened the door, shouting inside, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
"Yan Sheng is back!" Shen Jingyou walked out of the study first, her face was full of surprise, she opened her arms to her daughter, hugged her first, and said with a little reproach,
"Don't come home first, your dad and I have been waiting for you. Lin Yansheng didn't want to say anything about herself and Mu Yi, but she smiled, and when she saw her father also walking out of the study, she smiled: "Dad." Lin Shengming smiled and nodded, although he was old, his body was still straight and thin, there was hardly a trace of gray hair on his head, and he was in good spirits, like a young man.
"Have you eaten? Why don't we go out to eat?" Lin Yansheng looked at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"I've eaten them all. Shen Jingyou said with a smile, carefully looking at her daughter's face,
"It looks like you're a little fatter, but it's better to go out for a walk, old man, let's discuss a date, and let's go out and have some fun as a family." Lin Shengming looked at Shen Jingyou and agreed twice with a smile.
His body was no different from when he was middle-aged, except for the addition of a lot of gray hair on his head, his body did not deteriorate because of age.
But Shen Jingyou has been watching her body more and more weak recently, although she still eats the same food, she is getting thinner day by day, and she has to take a breath when she takes two steps, it stands to reason that she has not yet reached the age of retirement, but looking at this physical condition, it is time for her to rest at home, and she can no longer be tired.
Now she has this thought, and when she is still in good health, she will take her out with the child to have a good time, so as to satisfy her wish.
Thinking so, Lin Shengming walked up to his wife and sat down, held her hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, we'll discuss it right away, but we have to wait for two days to let Yan Sheng rest and rest before the child comes back." ”
"I know. Shen Jingyou patted the back of her husband's hand, turned her head and smiled at Yan Sheng,
"Are you hungry? Mom will cook for you. ”
"No, Mom, let's go out to eat. Lin Yansheng said with a smile, she knew her mother's current physical condition, and she didn't want her mother to be tired because of herself.
"Hey, the food outside is unhealthy, you wait, Mom will cook it for you. Shen Jingyou stood up and walked to the kitchen.
At this time, Lin Yanhuan spoke, his tone was not enthusiastic, and it sounded as if he had no feelings.
"I'll do it, you guys talk. Lin Yansheng looked at his younger brother in surprise and said with a smile: "You actually know how to cook?"
"If you live alone, how can you eat if you don't learn how to cook?" Lin Yanhuan said, turning around and walking towards the kitchen.
Because everyone in the family had eaten it, Lin Yansheng couldn't eat much by himself, so he simply fried two dishes.
After bringing out the food, he looked at his watch and said, "Mom, Dad, sister, I'll go back to the company first, and I'll come back after work." ”
"Go ahead, get busy. Shen Jingyou waved his hand at him, watching his son disappear outside the door, and then looked at his daughter and smiled,
"You can live at home for the past few days, I haven't seen you for two months, and my mother misses you. ”
"Good. Lin Yansheng smiled and held her mother's hand, and for a moment, she thought of Mu Yilai, her heart sank, and the smile on her face became heavy.
Shen Jingyou sensitively noticed the changes in her daughter, she groaned for a while, and asked, "You came back, did Mu Yi pick you up?"
"Pick it up. Lin Yansheng hesitated,
"Mom, I'm going to tell you something. ”
"Say it. ”
"Mu Yi proposed to me, and his parents have already begun to choose a date, and we are going to get married. Lin Yansheng said, his tone was flat, as if he was talking about what he was going to eat today.
"What?" Shen Jingyou's eyes widened in surprise, and even Lin Shengming, who was sitting next to him watching the news, was attracted by her reaction.
"You get married, we don't know. Lin Shengming frowned,
"This is a major life event, why don't you discuss it with us?"
"I just found out. Lin Yansheng smiled bitterly,
"He proposed without consulting me, and his parents were right next to me at the time, and I was embarrassed to say no. Shen Jingyou groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, except for being too sudden, it's nothing, you have been together for so long, it's time to get married." She took her daughter's hand and said,
"It's still up to you, falling in love is not the same as getting married, these are two different things. ”
"Even so, it's too anxious, Yan Sheng is still young. Lin Shengming said dissatisfiedly. Lin Yansheng sighed and said with a smile: "Forget it, since it's already like this, I'll accept it." ”
"You don't seem to be very happy. What's the matter, Mu Yi made you angry?" asked Shen Jingyou.
"Nope. Lin Yansheng hurriedly shook his head and said,
"I thought the same thing as my dad, I also felt too anxious, I still have a lot of work to do, and now I am married, I think it is too early, I am not ready. ”
"It's still up to you, what others say doesn't count. Shen Jingyou said with a smile,
"After getting married, it's different from when I was single, I think I was proud and determined to make a career, not because I married your father, and your grandparents urged us to have children, so I didn't do anything, and now I'm just a teacher teaching students. Alas, speaking of which, all the decisions in life are contradictory, and which one must be achieved must be sacrificed. ”
"Your mother is talking nonsense, it's because your mother married me, and her life is comfortable, and she is too lazy to go out and run. Lin Shengming smiled and glanced at his wife teasingly.
"Be quiet, I'll talk to my daughter. Shen Jingyou glanced at her husband angrily and laughed out loud.
Lin Yansheng looked at his parents' laughter and play, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, she didn't know if she and Mu Yi would be like this in the future, she was sure that Mu Yi would love her passionately and love her for a lifetime, but she wasn't sure that she would love him passionately and love him for a lifetime.
"So, no matter what you do, you have to have a number in your own heart, if you think it's okay, just do it, don't care about other people's thoughts, let yourself be wronged. Shen Jingyou smiled and said seriously.
"Hmm. Lin Yansheng nodded obediently, although she listened to the reason, but she was still a little entangled in her heart, she felt that Mu Yi was so good to herself, she didn't agree to his marriage proposal, and wanted to delay the date of marriage, wouldn't she be too sorry for him?
"In the final analysis, getting married is not about whether it is early or not, but whether the person is right or not. Shen Jingyou seemed to remember something, she smiled softly, and said slowly,
"The person is right, no matter the time is right sooner or later, the person is not right, even if you pick a good day, it is still wrong. When Lin Shengming heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Look at me, your grandfather urged me so urgently that year, I couldn't wait to bring all the boys in the village to go on a blind date with me, I just didn't do it, I didn't want to marry someone casually, just live a life in such a daze. Later, I met your father, and I felt that this was the person I wanted to live with him for the rest of my life, so I married him without hesitation, and it turned out that my original decision was right. Shen Jingyou said, turned her head to look at her husband, the two looked at each other, and they both smiled tacitly,
"Mu Yi, this kid, we watched him grow up, we all know his personality and temperament, and he is also sincere to you. Yan Sheng, if you think he is worthy of sincere trust, then your parents will support you. Lin Yansheng bit his lip, looked at his mother silently, and did not speak.
"If you want me to say, it's still too early, your mother only married me at the age of thirty, and you were born at thirty-one, you still follow in your mother's footsteps, and talk about this in two years. The daughter I worked so hard to raise was given to others like this, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart. Lin Shengming said, snorting.
"Don't listen to your dad, think about it yourself. No matter what you do, your parents support your decision. Shen Jingyou smiled and patted her daughter's hand again,
"Okay, let's go eat, the food will be cold later. As she spoke, she said as if to herself,
"This Yan Huan is so busy all day that he can't see anyone, and I don't know when to bring a daughter-in-law into the door. Lin Yansheng stood up, walked to the dining table and sat down.
She was still pondering, her mind oscillating between her career and family. However, it may also be that she thinks too much, getting married, it's just a ceremony, after getting married, two people live together, in addition to this, in fact, think about it, it's the same as when you didn't get married, you can't delay anything.
Thinking like this, she relaxed a little, picked up the bowl with chopsticks, and ate silently.
Not long after this incident, Mu Yukai called Lin Shengming and happily invited them out for dinner to discuss the children's lifelong affairs.
Of course Lin Shengming is not happy, the most annoying moment when he is a father is the moment when he marries his daughter, but he knows the personality of Mu Yukai and his wife, and he also knows Mu Yi's personality, so he has no reason to object, so he had to agree.
It was the beginning of spring, everything was recovering, and the weather was warm, which was as good as today's happy event. The location is still the same restaurant where the two families often eat.
The food in the restaurant is not very delicious, but it is better in the right location, elegant environment, good service, Mu Yukai is especially preferred, often bring customers to eat here, the restaurant manager remembers him, from time to time to give him a discount, after a long time, the two are commensurate with brothers.
They still arrived first, half an hour earlier than the agreed time. This is Mu Yukai's habit, it is better to arrive early than late, and he can show his sincerity and determination better.
He happily sat his wife and son down and studied the new dishes on the menu. Mu Yi looked absent-minded, he didn't have anything to do with Lin Yansheng
"Reconciliation", from the day of the proposal to the present, Lin Yansheng has always been very polite and cold to him, and he doesn't understand why.
This situation simply made him crazy, but he couldn't be too anxious, as soon as he was in a hurry, Lin Yansheng would be even more angry, and maybe he wouldn't even talk to him.
Today, Mu Yi originally wanted to drive to pick them up, but was reprimanded by Mu Yukai, he said: "Usually I don't have an opinion on how your children go on a date and how you catch up, but there is a sentence that says a lot, you can't be too good to others, if you are too good, you will be bad yourself, as if my son can't marry a daughter-in-law." Lao Lin's personality I know, his family does have a great favor to our family, but no matter how good the relationship is, there must be a limit, you will have a burden on others if you are bad, and if you are good to others, of course others will have a burden. Just like today, we booked the hotel to pay for the food, and it was our sincerity to arrive half an hour early, so we would serve others like a slave in everything, remember?" Mu Yi looked at his father dissatisfied, of course he didn't listen to what his father said, he didn't understand, he didn't remember, what he thought in his heart was completely different from what his father thought, he felt that if that person had a status in his heart, then he would just be good to him, why should he set a rule to restrain himself, if people are so tired of interacting with each other, he would rather not interact with others.
Therefore, he sneered at his father's rules of interaction with people, and he had his own thoughts in his heart, and he never changed them easily.
But his father and mother looked at him and didn't let him go out to pick up Lin Yansheng's family, so he couldn't go.
Now that the family has arrived at the location, he can't sit still, all he thinks about is Lin Yansheng. He hadn't seen her for two weeks, he didn't know if she was thin or fat, if she was in a good mood or not, and what would he tell her when we met later?
What to say to make her happy? These were all things on his mind, and he didn't listen to a word of what his parents said.
Mu Yukai talked to his wife and coughed again. This is a new problem he added, and he also went to the hospital to see it, and the doctor said that it was a bronchial problem, and he needed to take medicine to recuperate, and he couldn't see the wind.
But where did he live, he ran to the company again and again, and his illness did not get better, but became more serious. At first, I just got up in the morning and coughed for a while, but now I cough all day, and sometimes my whole face is red.
At this time, he coughed so much that he couldn't even hold the menu, bent over the table, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, Yu Qinling gently beat his back on the side, and said anxiously: "Don't let you come out again, you want to come out, and start coughing again, right?" Mu Yi's attention was attracted by his father's cough, he hurriedly stood up and walked to his father's side, gently pounded his back with his mother, and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's fine. Mu Yukai waved his hand, straightened up and gasped, coughed twice, and then calmed down and said with a smile,
"It's fine. ”
"I said, don't be busy with the things in the company, Xiaoyi is now grown up, let him do it, what else are you worried about? ”
"He's grown up, but he's not at home. Mu Yukai smiled,
"If he doesn't change his character, can I leave the company and retire with confidence?"
"Dad, you've said that. Mu Yi sat down beside his father and said unhappily,
"Then you can't expect me to become a big fat man in one bite, aren't I slowly getting better now?"
"It's still early for you to get better, I think that if Lin Yansheng says to give her our company, you will give it to her without hesitation. Mu Yukai said, with a slight irony in his tone.
Mu Yi thought about it seriously and felt that what his father said was good,
"I'm married to her, and our company already has a part of her. ”
"You see, you see. Mu Yukai pointed to his son and turned his head to his wife and said,
"In this way, how can I trust him to hand over the company? I have worked hard for most of my life, and he is going to give half of the company to others. ”
"Yan Sheng is no one else, unless you don't recognize her as a daughter-in-law. Mu Yi said with a stiff neck.
"Xiaoyi, Dad didn't mean that, Dad meant, don't be too sincere to others. I know that Yan Sheng is a good child, so what if someone has ulterior motives for you? What if someone else thinks about our company through Yan Sheng?
"Dad, you're thinking too much. Mu Yi couldn't help laughing, he got up and returned to his original position, and said to his mother,
"Mom, does my dad have paranoia about being killed?"
"Don't say that about your dad. Yu Qinling looked at her son reproachfully,
"Your dad is right, it doesn't hurt to be a little defensive. Mu Yi opened his mouth to say something, but there was a sound of footsteps outside, the door was opened by the waiter, and Lin Shengming walked in with his wife and children.
Mu Yukai and his wife hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Lao Lin, Lao Shen, are you here?" Lin Shengming and his wife couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise when they saw them coming so early, and smiled embarrassedly: "Why did you come so early?
"No, no. Mu Yukai asked them to sit down, asked the waiter to give each of them a menu, and said with a smile,
"It's just a little early, you see what you want to eat, you can have as much as you want, the manager of this shop promised me today, you can get a discount. ”
"That's the good thing. Lin Shengming smiled, lowered his head and browsed the menu, and casually ordered a few cheaper dishes.
The dishes in this shop are ridiculously expensive, he and Mu Yukai have come to eat several times, and every time he pays the money, he feels painful.
While the adults were talking, Mu Yi turned his head to look at Lin Yansheng, who was sitting next to her parents with her younger brother, separated by three people from him.
As if sensing his gaze, she turned her head to glance at him quickly, then looked away again, looking down at the menu.
Lin Yanhuan, who was sitting next to her, also felt his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and frowned slightly.
