At the dinner table, Chen Yuqin earnestly asked Zhao Minglei about his situation at school, and Zhao Minglei said with his eyebrows fluttering, especially when he proudly mentioned that he had been elected to the student union and became a cadre of the student union, Chen Yuqin was even more satisfied with the "quasi-son-in-law" he had chosen.

In Chen Yuqin's view, Zhao Minglei is cheerful, sociable, and a college student, he must have a great future in the future, and he knows the family situation well, such an outstanding young man is undoubtedly a good match for Lin Yan.

"Yanzi, you have to learn from Minglei hard, don't just know how to read, contact more with classmates in school, and participate in more social activities. By the way, Ming Lei, my swallow has been temperamental since she was a child, and she doesn't understand the world, so you have to teach her well in this area in the future! ”

"Swallow's personality is very good, don't worry, Auntie, I will." Zhao Minglei said with a smile, and looked at Lin Yan at the same time, with tenderness in his eyes.

The chopsticks in Lin Yan's hand paused, the education she received since childhood made Lin Yan always restrain the dissatisfaction in her heart, but now she can't restrain it.

Just as he was about to put down his chopsticks and simply explain this matter, Lin Daoyuan on the side took a piece of fish and put it in Lin Yan's bowl.

"Swallow, don't you love fish? Your mom made it for you today, eat more. Lin Daoyuan said to his daughter kindly, with a hint of meaningful warning in his eyes.

"Thank you, Dad." Lin Yan sighed in her heart, she thanked her father, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

Lin Yan was very tired after this meal, and Zhao Minglei stayed at his house for a while after the meal, when Zhao Minglei got up to say goodbye when it was not early, Chen Yuqin originally planned to let Lin Yan send Zhao Minglei out, but at this time, Lin Daoyuan relieved Lin Yan and found a reason to talk to Lin Yan about something, which did not make Lin Yan too embarrassed.

Motioned for Lin Yan to follow him into the study, and when Lin Yan entered, he closed the door casually, Lin Daoyuan sat down and lit a cigarette, spit out a cloud of smoke and looked at his grown daughter.

"Let's talk about it, your attitude is wrong today, do you have any opinion of Zhao Minglei?" Lin Daoyuan asked.

"Dad!" Lin Yan held back the grievances in her heart now, and her father's eyes suddenly turned a little red.

"Sit down and talk slowly......." Lin Daoyuan pointed to the sofa on the side.

Lin Yan sat down and glanced at her father, Lin Daoyuan didn't talk much at home on weekdays, but the children were afraid of him since he was a child, and in the eyes of the children, Lin Daoyuan was a very principled and strict father.

"Dad, I don't have any feelings for Zhao Minglei, I even ...... Even disgusted with this person. "Since her father has seen her thoughts, Lin Yan will not hide it, not to mention that today she originally planned to make this matter clear, and since her father asked Lin Yan, she also planned to tell the truth.

Immediately, Lin Yan talked about her opinion of Zhao Minglei, in Chen Yuqin's eyes, Zhao Minglei may be an absolutely excellent man, but for Lin Yan, whether it is the personality, hobbies, or outlook on life and world view of the two is completely different.

Chen Yuqin did not ask Lin Yan's opinion from the beginning of this matter, which made Lin Yan extremely dissatisfied, and more importantly, in order to make Lin Yan and Zhao Minglei a pair, Chen Yuqin also secretly hid the letter that Song Yuanchao gave her from Lin Yan.

These days, Lin Yan has been holding back grievances in her heart, and she is even more angry about this matter. Since Lin Daoyuan asked so now, Lin Yan didn't hide it, and immediately said everything he wanted to say.

"Dad, maybe Zhao Minglei is a good object in your eyes, but isn't the person to talk to respect the opinions of both parties? Do you want to be happy? Is it necessary for each to understand each other and have an emotional foundation? If I were to love someone I didn't love at all, or even to live with this person for the rest of my life, I couldn't imagine what kind of future it would be. ”

Lin Yan said so, Lin Daoyuan looked at his daughter, and sighed slightly in his heart, it seems that his daughter really doesn't like this Zhao Minglei.

Although he does not deny that Zhao Minglei is an excellent man, Lin Daoyuan has a different opinion from his wife Chen Yuqin, that is, he thinks that Zhao Minglei's child has the problem of being ambitious, and he is more utilitarian than ordinary people.

If Lin Yan accepts Zhao Minglei, these problems are not a big problem, with the status of his own family and the Zhao family, Zhao Minglei also has this qualification, but if Lin Yan is not interested in Zhao Minglei from the beginning, then this may be the contradiction in their future lives, Lin Daoyuan has done revolutionary work all his life, and he can see the essence of the problem far more thoroughly than ordinary people.

"Swallow, Daddy asked you something." After Lin Yan finished speaking, Lin Daoyuan took a puff of cigarette and said.

"Do you already have someone in your heart?"

Lin Daoyuan's eyes were vicious, and he saw that Lin Yan must have other reasons for rejecting Zhao Minglei besides the reason she said, and this reason was perhaps the most important.

Lin Yan bit her lower lip slightly, lowered her head and didn't speak for a while, Lin Daoyuan didn't urge her, and waited quietly for her answer.

"Yes!" Lin Yan raised her head abruptly and admitted it to her father.

Lin Daoyuan's expression was still serious, and he looked into his daughter's eyes, as if to confirm whether what his daughter said was the truth.

"Tell me, tell me about you," Lin Daoyuan said lightly.

"His name is Song Yuanchao, he is from Huhai, two years older than me, and he and I are both educated young ...... in the countryside in the northwest." When it came to this, Lin Yan no longer hid it and talked about her and Song Yuanchao.

is different from talking about Zhao Minglei just now, when talking about Song Yuanchao, Lin Yan's spirit is bright, and her eyes are shining, especially when she is telling about the past between herself and Song Yuanchao when she was in the northwest, the smile from the heart hanging on the corner of Lin Yan's mouth makes people feel the strong feelings between her and Song Yuanchao.

"In the college entrance examination that year, our team had a limited number of places, and in order to ensure that I could apply, I took the initiative to give up his quota ...... to aid Korea." Lin Yan told about the past, and her eyes seemed to travel back to that time and space.

"In order to make me have the conditions to prepare for the tutoring exam, I set off at three o'clock in the morning, walked dozens of miles of mountain roads to the county seat to collect books and tutoring materials, and did not rush back until midnight. In order to give me enough time to prepare for the exam, the Aid Dynasty picked up all the jobs in my field, and one person took over the work of two people. Not only that, but he also used a plum watch left by his father to exchange old hens and eggs from his fellow villagers for my nutritional ....... ”

Telling, Lin Yan couldn't help but shed tears, in the days of reviewing and preparing for the exam, Song Yuanchao almost tried every means to create better conditions for Lin Yan, when Lin Yan was finally successfully admitted to the university, Song Yuanchao, who had almost lost a lot of weight, congratulated Lin Yan with a heartfelt smile, and silently helped her prepare for the ...... to return to the city.

Lin Yan remembered the day she left, Song Yuanchao kept sending her on the train, standing on the platform and looking at Lin Yan affectionately, watching the train start slowly.

When the train left the platform, Lin Yan's tears fell uncontrollably, she poked her head out of the window, desperately beckoned to Song Yuanchao, and shouted: "Aid the Dynasty!" I'm waiting for you at Kyoto Normal University! You must come! ”

Song Yuanchao, who was on the platform, was the same, chasing the train and shouting, waving his hand to himself until the two could no longer see .......

took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lin Yan's voice was a little choked, this was the most unforgettable moment in her life, and it was the last time she met Song Yuanchao.

Lin Daoyuan listened to his daughter's story quietly, and the cigarette butt in his hand had long been extinguished.

He could feel the sincere feelings between his daughter and Song Yuanchao, if all this was true, this young man named Song Yuanchao had paid too much for Lin Yan.

Subconsciously picked up the cigarette and smoked, only to find that the cigarette was extinguished, Lin Daoyuan threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray, took out another cigarette from the cigarette case on the side, and asked: "Then did this Song Yuanchao later be admitted to university?" ”

Lin Yan shook his head: "I later learned that Song Yuanchao fell ill after sending me away, the local medical conditions were poor, he was very seriously ill and almost didn't survive, and it took a few months to slowly recover." But it was precisely because of this illness that Song Yuanchao failed to be admitted to university, and then the policy changed, and he and several other educated youths returned to the city from there and returned to Huhai ....... ”

"It's a pity...... Such a good lad ....... Lin Daoyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, judging from Lin Yan's story, Song Yuanchao was originally fully capable of going to university, but because he gave up the quota to Lin Yan for the first time, and fell to Sun Shan for the second time because of illness.

"And what about him now?"

"He is now in Huhai, because his father was a teacher in Huhai No. 2 Middle School before his death, so after going back, he found the leader of No. 2 Middle School to work in the school-run factory of No. 2 Middle School, he worked very hard, and he was also valued by the leaders, and he was already the workshop director of the factory in just a few months."

Lin Yan said proudly that although she was only a small school-run factory workshop director, in Lin Yan's heart, Song Yuanchao, the workshop director, was even more proud of her identity as a student union cadre than Zhao Minglei.
