The two mothers and daughters were in the kitchen, teaching and learning as if no one was around, asking and answering. When Guo Chengling came in with the pot, it didn't attract the attention of the two. It wasn't until he shouted that Lin Xiaowan responded without turning her head: "I know, just put it wherever you want." ”

Guo Chengling was bored and came out of the kitchen stupidly. Lin Zhen, who was sitting in the courtyard, saw it and shouted happily: "Chengling, come and play a game of chess." ”

Guo Chengling followed his words and asked, "Do you play beast chess?" ”

Lin Zhen waved his hand: "We two big men, what kind of beast chess do we play." Go, get the chessboard. ”

Summoning Guo Chengling to get the chessboard, Lin Zhen sat in place and looked at the direction of the kitchen. I could faintly see two busy figures, and I could even faintly hear the sound of their conversation.

This kind of life is really much better.

Thinking of the scene when he went to Lin's house to see Lin Fu today, and thinking of the Zhou family, those past days also flashed in his mind. I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is unfair to Liu, and it is unfair to myself.

He knew that this was the end of the matter, and there was nothing to dwell on.

Just like Lin Fu's last words: Can you still come back?

yes, there's no going back.

Although the current life is a pity for Lin Zhen, he still has to admit that even if this step is very helpless, it is correct. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Liu smile so easily.

Maybe since they got married, there hasn't been a visit.

But he still didn't want the Lin family to disperse. He split up, Lin Fu wants to divorce his wife again, and what about his eldest brother Lin Tang? Now Lin Zhen can also see clearly, he is not a person who cares about his family at all.

What can he do if he doesn't want to return to hope?

Get back? Is it impossible...... Unless he goes back on his own, once he does, is there still his home?

In such an instant, Lin Zhen thought a lot, mixed feelings, and his emotions were so complicated that he didn't know what mood to deal with, and in the end he could only sigh secretly, and he was afraid of being heard by his only relatives, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

Until Guo Chengling's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Dad, the chess is set!"

Guo Chengling's voice was hearty and thorough, and I saw him rubbing his hands, feeling like he was doing a lot of work.

Lin Zhen didn't think much about it, said the word 'good', and then grabbed a chess piece, picked it up, dropped it, and shouted: "Be the first cannon!" ”

"Dad, you still don't want me to play chess? Why did you come up and leave first? Guo Chengling moved the chess pieces as he spoke, and then asked in a low voice, "Dad, what were you thinking just now?" ”

Lin Zhen glanced at Guo Chengling in some surprise, then pretended to be fine, and said indifferently: "No, I just feel a little tired, and I will be stunned." ”

"It's hard work, Dad." Guo Chengling nodded, "The things in the field can only depend on you, Xiaowan, I just want to make a show, I hope you don't let your hard work go to waste." ”

"How so?" Lin Zhen said in a deep voice, "What Xiaowan asked, I, as a father, must of course do a good job." Even if it is to make up for the grievances she has suffered for so many years, it should be...... It's all to blame for my incompetence as a father, which made their mother and daughter suffer. ”

"Besides, even if you grow food on that land, you won't be able to produce much, so it's better to help Xiaowan."

Guo Chengling smiled and said nothing, lowered his head and played chess seriously, but his eyes kept moving to Lin Zhen's trouser legs and shoes.

Lin Zhen said without a match. smelled the fragrance of the vegetables and asked Lin Xiaowan what she was cooking; Thinking of Guo Chengling, ask him again how his leg is doing now and when it will be better; I even asked about going to the county seat today.

Guo Chengling said it truthfully.

When she heard that Lin Xiaowan had a trouble with her master's daughter, she couldn't help but feel worried, and asked impatiently, "Are you okay?" Is Xiaowan okay? ”

Guo Chengling smiled and said: "It's okay Dad, if something really happens, then I'm afraid we won't be able to come back today." ”

After that, Guo Chengling told Lin Zhen about the cause and effect, and then said: "Besides, then Mrs. Yao was on the spot, and Miss Wang Wenxuan also came forward to help clarify, and she will definitely not let Xiaowan have anything to do." ”

"That's right." Lin Zhen muttered, and soon put his mind at ease, and cared about Liu's business, so he asked, "What about your mother's embroidery?" ”

"Well, on the way back, I asked my mother, and said that Xiaowan had negotiated with Mrs. Yao. If they make money from the embroidered handkerchiefs they sell, the mother can share a lot. Guo Chengling said after thinking about it.

Lin Zhen immediately heard the meaning of the words, and asked again: "Can I get it only after I earn money?" Shouldn't it be sold to them at a price? ”

Guo Chengling could only shake his head: "I don't understand it either, so my mother said what technology Xiaowan said." The mother helped them teach the embroiderers to embroider the mother, not embroidering herself. ”

I didn't understand, Lin Zhen couldn't understand it, so he could only look confused, and after thinking for a long time, there was no result, so he stopped thinking about it. When his hand fell, he heard Guo Chengling shouting: "Dad, do you really want to take this step?" ”

Lin Zhen stared at it, but he didn't notice anything: "Ah...... Let's go. ”

Then I only heard the sound of "pop", followed by Guo Chengling's excited voice: "Will!" I won, Daddy. ”

Lin Zhen straightened his forehead: "Alas, it's not down, it's not down." ”

Guo Chengling didn't persuade either, but slowly put the chess pieces on the table. Then he asked lightly: "Dad, did you go to the Lin family today?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Zhen was stunned when asked, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, was silent for a moment, and said truthfully: "Yes, I went on a trip in the afternoon." I heard that my father drove my mother away and wanted to divorce my wife, so I went to take a look. ”

"Not really, Dad." Guo Chengling said softly, as if he was thinking, and then continued after a while, "This is human nature, after all, they are the parents who gave birth to you and raised you, even if you go to see them." I'm guessing you said you were going to the fields today just to have a look, right? ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhen could only sigh.

Of course, Guo Chengling understood, and he also knew that Lin Zhen was afraid that Liu and Lin Xiaowan would be angry. Although he doesn't take the initiative to discuss this with them, he thinks he understands their thoughts.

Seeing Lin Zhen like this, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The reason why Niang and Xiaowan were so ruthless before and let you choose between the Lin family and them was that I was afraid that you would be too affectionate and couldn't make up your mind. Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, you go and take a look, do your filial piety, and they will not object. ”

Lin Zhen didn't think so, he said: "As your mother said, either I will go out of the house and go back to the Lin family, or I will cut off relations with them." ”

"You believe me, Dad." Guo Chengling said firmly, "It's still the same sentence, they just want you to make up your mind to deal with this matter." You used to be too indecisive, and you couldn't tell the difference between hot and cold, and there was no way for Niang and Xiaowan. ”

Lin Zhen wanted to refute a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he could only sigh.

Guo Chengling continued: "Moreover, I think my mother is also reluctant to give you up because you attach so much importance to affection. Otherwise, he might not be in the Lin family for a long time. ”

This sentence was a bit heavy, and I only heard Lin Zhen shout in a deep voice: "What are you talking about!" ”

Guo Chengling was bold and said, "Tell the truth." ”

Lin Zhen looked at Guo Chengling and was a little surprised. I have to admit that what Guo Chengling said is probably right. I can't refute it, so I am annoyed and angry.

Suddenly, he asked Guo Chengling: "How did you guess that I went to the Lin family." ”

The worry in Guo Chengling's heart disappeared with Lin Zhen's question. Just kidding, this is my father-in-law, it's no wonder that I don't worry about talking to him like this. Now that he is weak, he is relieved.

He said, "Dad, your trouser legs and soles are clean. ”

Lin Zhen was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with the clean?" ”

"In the past, you didn't pay much attention to these when you went down to the ground, and your mother swept it for you, or took it directly to wash. I see that you have changed it here today, and you should have gone somewhere. The only thing I can think of is the Lin family. Guo Chengling said.

When Lin Zhen heard this, he was also a little surprised, and muttered in a low voice: "Is this ......?"

He didn't expect that in order to go to the Lin family, he would actually take care of himself before going. I don't know if it's because he cares too much.

Guo Chengling continued: "Understandable, Dad. You just can't let it go, and you feel sorry for grandpa. I look at your current state, it seems that this matter is hidden from my mother, and I still feel very uncomfortable, otherwise, you will tell your mother? ”

Lin Zhen was silent and didn't answer.

Guo Chengling didn't ask, and changed the topic: "Do you still play chess, Dad?" ”

"No, no more." Lin Zhen shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll go in and see how Xiaowan and her mother's food is doing." Guo Chengling got up and walked to the kitchen, leaving Lin Zhen to sit there alone.

Lin Zhen quickly fell into deep thought, thinking about every word Guo Chengling said.

As soon as Guo Chengling entered the door, he heard Liu shout in surprise: "Eh, can you still do this dish?" It's really amazing. ”

"Haha, there's something even better, mother." Lin Xiaowan laughed.

"Really? Hurry up and teach me. Liu said expectantly.

Lin Xiaowan shook her head: "No, mother...... I don't even know how to do it. Wait for me to practice, practice. ”

Then I saw Liu's face disappointed.

Guo Chengling interjected: "It's done so much, hiss...... It's so fragrant. ”

Lin Xiaowan was proud: "That's, you don't look at who did it." ”

Then arrange the task: "Okay, set up the table, and bring the food out." Don't steal it! ”

"Okay." Guo Chengling trotted out, set the dinner table and stools one by one, and then shouted to Lin Zhen who was in a daze: "Dad, it's time to eat!" ”

Lin Zhen woke up and looked at the dishes on the table, slightly surprised.

"It's all done by Xiao Wan? It's a blessing in disguise. ”

Listening to Lin Zhen's emotion, Liu from the kitchen said angrily: "How many times have you said this...... And ah, even if I don't have these skills, I don't want Xiao Wan to do something like that. ”

"Yes, yes, I know."

Then Lin Xiaowan shouted: "Come on, come on, you can start tasting the delicious food I made!" ”
