The phone rang violently in the living room, startling Zhang Nanyan's body and almost standing up, the spoon in his hand hit the edge of the bowl.

Zhang Nanyan had a panicked expression on her face, she didn't know why, she felt very empty-hearted, as if she had just recalled in her heart that Teacher Zheng's care was a violation.

Xia Baiping looked at Zhang Nanyan's performance, she was very angry, but she was helpless, this was her own choice, who could blame her? If you want to blame fate, blame yourself for loving Zheng Fan to the point of losing your mind, and would rather endure it without limits.

Xia Baiping smiled bitterly and said, "You go and answer the phone, it should be that Lao Zheng is not at ease and specially called back to ask about the situation." ”

"Oh, good." Zhang Nanyan stood up and walked over nervously.

I don't know if it's because of the fever or because of nervousness, she feels that her legs are weak and her palms are full of sweat.

The phone kept ringing, obviously the same as usual, but Zhang Nanyan felt that the ringtone was particularly urgent.

Zhang Nanyan came to the phone, she didn't dare to pick it up, and she was afraid that the ringing would suddenly stop. She took a deep breath, wiped her palms on her clothes, and picked up the phone.

"Hey ......"

"Xiao Nan, it's me."

Zhang Nanyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Lin, it's you."

“…… Are you waiting for someone to call? ”

"No, no ......"

Lin Dong's anxious voice came from the phone: "Xiao Nan, I'm downstairs at Teacher Zheng's house, you come out quickly, let's go see my parents together." ”

Zhang Nanyan was stunned: "Now? ”

"Yes, hurry up, I'll wait for you."

Zhang Nanyan couldn't come back to her senses for a while. Last night, Lin Dong still looked embarrassed and evasive, and now she suddenly wanted to take her to meet her parents, and she was not mentally prepared at all.

Either way, you have to hurry up and prepare. The clothes on his body are too plain, oops, his face is not good, and his hair is messy.

Zhang Nanyan was anxious, she looked at Xia Baiping helplessly: "Teacher Xia, can I ask for leave today?" My boyfriend was going to take me to meet his parents. ”

"Meet the parents?" Xia Baiping also froze, she smiled reluctantly and said, "That's a big deal, can your body be okay?" ”

"I'm fine, then...... Then I'll go ......."

Zhang Nanyan ran back to the room in a panic, quickly found a set of clean clothes to change into, tied her hair up at the back of her head, looked in the mirror, her face was really bad, she pursed her lips hard, and finally bit out some blood......

Xia Baiping looked at Zhang Nanyan at the door.

It's so good, it's good to be young! It's just simple and neat clothes, worn on a youthful and slender body, it looks so delicate and graceful.

She couldn't help but come behind Zhang Nanyan.

She stretched out her arms, trying to reach Zhang Nanyan's hair.

"Teacher Xia?" Zhang Nanyan turned her head sideways and asked suspiciously.

Xia Baiping grabbed the hair ring of Zhang Nanyan's hair and gently pulled it down.

The black and shiny hair then spread out, like a smooth brocade, and a waterfall covered the back.

It's nice to be young, and the black hair is waist-high, which is the most expensive and gorgeous decoration.

Xia Baiping showed envious eyes.

"It's so beautiful, just put your hair down."

In the mirror, a pure and flawless face was reflected, and the pale complexion and jet-black hair reflected each other, making Zhang Nanyan even weaker, ignorant and pitiful.

"Alright, go ahead, his parents will like you."

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Xia."

Zhang Nanyan went downstairs.

When Lin Dong saw her, he was also stunned for a moment.

He reached out and stroked her long hair, and said forcefully, "I will definitely let my parents agree!" ”

Zhang Nanyan followed Lin Dong to take a taxi. During this period, Lin Dong's mobile phone rang, he glanced at it, turned it off in front of Zhang Nanyan, and then, he held Zhang Nanyan's hand tightly and never let go.

The taxi drove to the hospital.

Lin Dong led Zhang Nanyan to the inpatient department.

Zhang Nanyan grabbed Lin Dong and asked, "Are your uncles and aunts unwell?" ”

"Oh, it's my mom in the hospital."

It turned out that during the winter vacation, Lin Dong's mother was already sick, and this time she came to the capital to be hospitalized.

Zhang Nanyan couldn't help but feel guilty for a while, when Brother Lin took care of his mother and worried about his mother, she didn't stay by his side and didn't help at all.

She made up her mind that from today onwards, she would make food, wash clothes, accompany the bed, and take care of Mother Lin, and she must take care of Mother Lin.

"Brother Lin, I'll go buy some nutritional products for my aunt."

Lin Dong came back to his senses: "Yes, let's go, let's go quickly." ”

They came to the shop outside the hospital, and Zhang Nanyan concentrated on picking fruits and milk.

Lin Dong directly lifted the two fruit baskets and asked the boss if he had any flowers.

The boss hurriedly said, "Yes, would you like to give it to a loved one or a friend?" There are carnations, lilies, roses. ”

"I want carnations."

The boss took out a bouquet of carnations and handed it to Lin Dong: "The goods that just arrived in the morning, look how well they open, and they still have dewdrops." ”

Lin Dong took it and said directly, "How much." ”

Zhang Nanyan hurriedly stopped: "This kind of fruit basket is not affordable, and it is filled with paper shells." ”

The boss sees all kinds of customers every day, the city is generous, the rural people save, he is not surprised, he said with a smile: "Our family's retail fruits are also very fresh, and it is right to pay attention to the benefits of visiting their own families, and the girl is a real person who lives a life." By the way, there are eggs in our store, all of which are red-skinned eggs, which are the best for patients to replenish their bodies. ”

"How much is a pound?" Zhang Nanyan asked.

The boss was about to answer, but he heard Lin Dong suppress his anger: "These, how much!" ”

This time it was Lin Dong who asked with a dark face.

"Two hundred and five."

"Here you go!"

Lin Dong held the fruit basket in one hand and the flowers, and pulled Zhang Nanyan up with the other hand and left.

Zhang Nanyan was still holding an apple she had just picked in her hand, and she wanted to put it back, but she was pulled away by Lin Dong. She was so anxious that she said, "Wait a minute, I'll ......"

Lin Dong didn't pay attention to her at all, and his steps were fast.

The boss leaned on the counter, flicked the crisp 100-yuan ticket in his hand, raised his voice happily, and said, "Girl, the apple will be given to you as a gift." ”

Lin Dong was annoyed, his parents opposed Zhang Nanyan because they felt that her background was not good, and the two were not a good match. But she really has to worry about fruits and eggs.

How can he not be angry?

Lin's father is a government cadre, Lin's mother is a teacher, and although the Lin family's family conditions are not rich, they have always been leisurely and comfortable. Mother Lin pays more attention to the mood of life, and does not like those little citizens who are worried about tea, rice, oil and salt.

When Lin's mother learned that Lin Dong was in love with a rural migrant girl, she immediately became angry and resolutely objected: "Lin Dong, you use your brain, are you willing to be dragged down endlessly by her family's poverty and backwardness for the rest of your life?" You think you just married her? No, marriage is the union of two families, and behind her are poor relatives who can't be compensated and ignorance that can't be saved! I won't allow you to ruin your life! ”

Lin Dong tried to convince his mother: "Xiao Nan is a motivated girl, she could have been admitted to university, but she was forced to give up her studies because her parents favored sons over daughters. Do you know how hard she worked, she left her family and went to the capital to work alone. I believe that we can create a happy life by our own efforts. ”

Mother Lin persuaded her son bitterly: "Son, believe in my mother, my mother has lived for most of her life, and I have seen too much cruelty in life." Perhaps, she is a good girl, but unfortunately her life is not good, and she may not be able to catch up with other people's starting points if she works hard all her life. Some people are destined to have a hard life when they are born. ”

Lin Dong was powerless to refute. Yes, he was born in a well-off family, his parents cared for him and devoted himself to education, he was successfully admitted to university, if there was no accident, he would be in graduate school, and then find a stable, high social status job, find a wife with comparable conditions, and enjoy a stable and comfortable life without hard work.

There is also Jiang Mei, she was born a rich daughter, she can have whatever she wants, and even her boyfriend is chosen by her, and she can go to school if she wants to go abroad when she is in a bad mood. Elite, returnee, Bai Fumei, she was born with these identities.

And Xiao Nan, she worked so hard, but she would never be able to catch up with Jiang Mei.

It is conceivable that after he and Xiao Nan get married, they will have a gentle and considerate wife and an ordinary and busy life.

If they are with Jiang Mei, they can enjoy life wantonly, see the wider world, enjoy a luxurious life, and their careers will be smooth, and they will become successful people that everyone envies, and the price is just to give up a little love.

What is the trade-off?

Lin Dong couldn't help but compare the two choices in his heart, he forcibly told himself that love is the most precious, and a life without love will be a walking dead.

He couldn't wait to bring Zhang Nanyan to meet his parents, and he couldn't let himself continue to think crankily.

"Xiao Nan is so good, my parents will definitely like her when they see her!"

Lin Dong kept pulling Zhang Nanyan outside the ward, and then stopped.

His face was tense, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

He looked at Zhang Nanyan. I saw that Zhang Nanyan's face was pale, and she was holding back her breath, her chest rising and falling heavily.

He tried to smile at Zhang Nanyan and said, "Don't be nervous. ”

Zhang Nanyan swallowed a mouthful of spit, and her throat hurt, but she couldn't care about it, and nodded hurriedly.

Lin Dong handed the flowers to Zhang Nanyan: "You take the flowers, my mother likes flowers." ”

Zhang Nanyan hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but found that he was still holding a big apple in his hand. She quickly shoved the apple into her jacket pocket and took the flowers.

The rich fragrance hit her nose, and her nose itched, and she tried hard to hold back so that she didn't sneeze.

She quietly looked at Lin Dong, but found that Lin Dong's face became more serious.

Zhang Nanyan lowered her head worriedly.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, touched her hair, and started it smoothly, as if the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart had subsided.

"Why is your forehead so hot? The palms of your hands are so cold? Okay, don't be nervous, my mom she...... It's not an unreasonable person, and it shouldn't embarrass us. ”

……

"Look at your son, there is no one so far, he must have gone to find that woman again. I forgot my mother before I married my daughter-in-law, and I blamed you! ”

"Why do you blame me for this?"

"How don't I blame you! If you don't listen to me, you will know that you are angry with me, and if you are angry with me, you will be at ease! ”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, the doctor told you to calm down and rest. I'm going to call Lin Dong and ask him to come over right away! ”

The door to the ward opened, and a middle-aged man walked out.

Lin Dong couldn't help but stand up straight and shouted, "Dad." ”
