After dinner, Xu Zhenhua took his wife and two children, or borrowed Lin Laosan's van, to go to the old general's recuperation center for old cadres.

The old general is old, and he fell ill again that year, and now although he has recovered a little, he can't walk and can only sit in a wheelchair.

When he heard that Xu Zhenhua's family came to see him, he was very happy and asked the staff to bring them over.

Seeing that the old general is now so old, Xu Zhenhua was a little sad, he accompanied the old man to talk, and the old man heard that he was speaking as a representative of the whole army this time, and encouraged him with satisfaction.

The stay was not very long, a doctor came to urge, and several people left under the reluctant gaze of the old general, all the way, Xu Zhenhua was silent, Lin Tong knew that he was in a bad mood, so he could only comfort him and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, no matter what, the old general looks at the body is okay, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Xu Zhenhua smiled at her reluctantly, "I know, it's just a momentary emotion, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while." To say something ugly, in his heart, I am afraid that the old general is much more important than his parents, and as for the old man Wang, he is a person he doesn't even bother to pay attention to.

Lin Laosan gave them a pass, the house he borrowed was next to his own house, it was a two-bedroom and a living room, his comrades-in-arms took a vacation, and took the whole family back to his hometown, the house was empty, just let him help look at the house, he borrowed it these days.

When they got home, Xu Xiaowan didn't know what she was talking about, her eyes were red, and Lin Tong asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Mom?" Are you looking at my third brother so excited? Why is this still shedding tears? ”

Xu Xiaowan sighed, "Yes, your third brother talked about your eldest brother...... she paused, she hadn't looked at her eldest son's family for several years, when they first moved to the city, the grandson came back, and then even the grandson didn't move, and he didn't even come to the letter.

If you don't care about it, but after all, it's your own son, how can you not worry about it?

Usually she avoids mentioning this son, but just now Lin Lao Sanyi talked about the boss, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Lin Tong's face also sank, and he just opened his mouth to say that his mother was worried about him. As soon as he looked down and saw his two children, he never said it again.

How many parents are so ruthless to their children, as ruthless as Zhenhua's mother, and as cold-blooded as his biological father?

Lin Laosan also regretted his words, just now his mother asked about his life's events, he didn't want to say, so he changed the topic, but when he talked about the boss, he diverted his mother's attention, and he also attracted these tears.

"Mom, when I go on vacation next time, I'll go look for him, I'll ask, see what he means, is he going to break off the relationship?"

"Forget it, what are you looking for, if he wants to come back, he will return, and I won't blame him if he doesn't come back, anyway, I have a few of you!"

Lin Tong squeezed his eyes at the third brother, "Mom, don't think about those unpleasant things, see Nini is sleepy......"

When the old lady saw Nini, she began to rub her eyes, and hurriedly stood up, "Let's go, Grandma will wash her white, and Juejue will go." ”

Nini squinted her eyes to find her grandmother, Lin Tong looked at the big and small ones and entered the bathroom, and said in a low voice: "I think since my mother came, Nini has become more and more coquettish." ”

Xu Zhenhua smiled: "Aren't you the same?" ”

Lin Tong glanced at him, thinking that he was too, lazy and greedy, and couldn't help laughing.

Lin Laosan looked at the spicy eyes, stood up and stretched, "I'm also going back to the house, you two have something to say back to the house and talk slowly!" ”

Lin Tong followed him, "Wait, you haven't told me yet, what's going on with Zhang Yonghua's sister?" ”

Lin Tong followed up with his small single room as he spoke, leaned against the door and raised his chin, "Say, I don't tell our mother." ”

Lin Laosan glanced at her, "I said little sister, don't you think you look like an old mother now, so inquisitive?" ”

Lin Tong stepped forward angrily, "I like to inquire?" If you weren't my third brother, I would have to ignore you? ”

"Yo, why are you still angry?" He said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's really nothing, what do you want me to say?" ”

Lin Tong just looked at him with a straight face, until he looked at him, and waved his hand at her, "Okay, what do you want to know, I'll tell you that it's not okay?" ”

Lin Tong snorted, took off her shoes and got on the sofa, put her legs up and found a comfortable position, "Everything about you and her sister." ”

Lin Laosan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, there's really nothing to say...... Okay, okay, I said it's not okay yet? Look at you, you can't wait for me to say it slowly......"

Lin Tong rolled his eyes, looking at the third brother's hypocritical appearance, he knew that things were not as simple as he said.

Lin Laosan lit a cigarette, Lin Tong waved his hand, wanting to disperse the smoke, for his sake, he wouldn't let him extinguish the cigarette!

Lin Tong's intuition is sometimes really accurate and scary, and Lin Laosan startled her as soon as she spoke.

"Originally, during the Chinese New Year, I wanted to bring her home, but later, because of some things, we separated." This opening statement is shocking enough.

It's time to talk about marriage, and when it comes to meeting your parents, you dare to act like no one!

No wonder Zhang Yonghua was angry when he said it.

Lin Tong looked at him with disdainful eyes, and pointed at his face arrogantly, "Third brother, look at my contemptuous face!" She snorted, "I look down on you, I can still separate when I get married, or I don't love you deep enough!" ”

Lin Laosan rarely did not refute her, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe, you are right!" ”

He is like this, Lin Tong is not good at teasing him again, "Third brother, you ......" Looking at such a third brother, Lin Tong didn't know what to say for a while?

"I'm fine, in fact, the responsibility for this matter really lies with me, it's me who is not brave enough, and I retreat from the battle."

He was silent and took a few more puffs of cigarette, and Lin Tong really wanted to take the cigarette down and put it on the ground a few times, but seeing the lonely appearance of the third brother, she could only wait.

Zhang Yonghua's sister is called Zhang Yongqing, and the two met when he was just rehabilitated and transferred to the capital.

Once when Lin Laosan was on a mission at night, he saved a girl who was robbed and almost raped, and that girl was Zhang Yongqing.

The two met like this, Zhang Yongqing was very grateful to him, and often sent him some food, and the two became familiar with each other.

Later, the two got along.

"At that time, I didn't know that her family was also a military family, so I thought she was an ordinary worker family, and she said that she was an elementary school teacher, and I believed her words." He smiled wryly and said, "She is a very cheerful and kind woman, and her personality is somewhat similar to yours." We started talking about what to expect from the family in the future. I was going to take her home, and before that, I offered to go to her house. ”

She was a little hesitant at the time, saying that it was too fast, but the two had known each other for a year or two at that time, how could it be fast?

Lin Laosan was a little displeased, thinking that she was shirking, but Zhang Yongqing had no choice but to agree.

As a result, when he came to the door with some gifts, he saw the door of the Zhang family and asked him about the situation at home, and his heart was cold.

Zhang Yongqing's mother first thanked him for saving their daughter, and then said that who likes Yongqing, and whose son has kissed several times, as if he was just an ordinary guest who came to the door, not Zhang Yongqing's boyfriend.

This kind of humiliation, how can Lin Laosan stand it, he didn't even serve the meal, so he escaped under the pretext of having an incident.

He had just taken a few steps out of the door, and the gift he was carrying was thrown out of the door, and at that time, he was embarrassed and wished that he had never been on the door of Zhang's house.

Only then did he know why Zhang Yongqing never asked him to go to her house, and after he took the initiative, she did everything possible to shirk it, because she understood that the Zhang family would definitely not take a fancy to him as nothing, and his hometown was still a rural outsider.

Zhang Yongqing quarreled with his family and chased him out, but unfortunately he was carried away by anger at that time, and shouted at her in a fit of anger, "Why do you come to me when your family looks down on me?" Parted! ”

Zhang Yongqing is actually a very strong person, Lin Laosan's words on the street under anger, were seen by the neighbors who were doing well, she felt very shameless, and cried at the time and said, "Break up, break up!" ”

Later, Lin Laosan went home for the New Year, and after the New Year, both of them calmed down, Zhang Yongqing came to him, and he took the opportunity to sit with her and have a good talk.

The conditions of the Zhang family are good, several brothers and sisters are married to locals, and her mother has great expectations for her, hoping that she can marry into those families with better conditions, instead of looking for a rural area, Zhang Yongqing accepted this with him, and asked him to give her a little time, saying that she would persuade her mother to let go and agree to their family affairs.

It's a pity that Lin Laosan feels that the twisted melon is not sweet, and he doesn't want his mother to be inferior in front of the Zhang family.

He is from the countryside, there is nothing that cannot be admitted, and there is nothing to be inferior to.

But the Zhang family obviously didn't think so, from Zhang's mother's mouth, he clearly felt the Zhang family's contempt for rural people, so he directly refused.

He can't let his mother be looked down upon because of his marriage.

Zhang Yongqing came to him a few more times, and once he came with her sister Zhang Yonghua, but unfortunately, Lin Laosan's heart was as hard as iron and he refused.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? It's that simple, there's really not much to say. Lin Laosan pinched his cigarette and spread his hands, "As for why I don't marry, do you believe this kind of thing?" I don't believe it anyway. ”

Lin Tong touched his chin and said, "She came to you, why didn't you give her a chance?" ”

"You don't really think that if I give her a chance, her family will agree, right? Why bother, it's not about breaking up in the end, since people don't look down on me, why should I rely on her! He hesitated for a moment and said, "Besides, her family is also good for her, as her mother said, she has grown so big, she has never washed her clothes, never cleaned up her clothes, never cooked a meal, and everything for her is taken care of by a nanny." And I, obviously, can't give her such a life. ”
