Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 105

After three days and nights on the train, we finally arrived in the capital.

Xu Nannan came to this city for the first time in this era. Unlike in Shanghai, the people on the platform dress very plainly. The big dark blue padded jacket or army coat of the water is very distinctive in the age.

Xu Nannan also wore a military coat. It's Lin Qingbai. Because it is too generous, it feels like a quilt.

"brother!"

Lin Qingsong waved vigorously on the station platform, wearing a leather hat on her head and a white scarf around her neck, looking quite student-like. Seeing Lin Qingbai and the others coming, they rushed over immediately.

"Brother, Yu Gu, why are you here? I waited early in the morning and almost froze to death." Lin Qingsong said excitedly.

Lin Qingbai glanced at him, "Nan Nan and I are already engaged, haven't you seen the telegram?"

Lin Qingsong looked at Xu Nannan with a face suddenly realized, "Sister-in-law."

Xu Nannan's face became hot when she heard the words "sister-in-law", and covered her face with a scarf, "The name is the same."

"This is different, my brother loves to listen." Lin Qingsong looked at Lin Qingbai with a dogged smile. No way, he is not doing well in the capital now, and I hope his brother will be able to save him in front of his parents this time.

Lin Qingbai nodded in a good mood, "The rules can't be messy. Go back first, don't let Nan Nan freeze."

"Oh, the car is waiting outside. The old man is broken, and the car on the other side of the trolley class is not allowed to pick it up. I bought a pack of cigarettes for the master, so that I can find someone."

As several people walked, Lin Qingsong complained to his brother for credit.

Xu Nannan looked at him like this and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, instructor Lin, who was lawless on the Nanjiang side, became like this after returning to the capital.

Lin Qingsong called a jeep this time. He consciously sat in the front and let Xu Nannan and Lin Qingbai sit in the back.

"The home is ready. Dad knows that you are coming back. He is here today specially. You are all sons, why is there such a big difference."

Lin Qingbai closed his eyes and ignored him at all. The hand grabbed Xu Nannan's hand, warming her from time to time. It wasn't until Xu Nannan's palms were hot and sweaty that he let go.

Lin Qingsong looked back at this crooked scene, with a sore toothache.

Thinking of the person in the compound again, he sighed, one thing fell one thing.

Because it was Lin Qingsong who secretly called the car and didn't dare to let Lin Changzheng know about it, the car stopped at the gate of the compound. Lin Qingsong gave the person a cigarette, sweetly coaxed the driver who drove, and then sent the person away. Then he helped carry things before and after the run.

As a result, he couldn't lift it at all, looked at Lin Qingbai awkwardly and lifted it up with one hand.

He touched his nose and simply went to Xu Nannan's side. "Sister-in-law, what are you bringing back. My dad said a long time ago, so don't bring anything."

"They are all specialties." Xu Nannan said.

Knowing that she was coming to see her parents, the two elders of the Yu family paid little attention to it. I've been saving things a few months ago. I don't want to eat meat after saving the meat ticket, and hung it as bacon. I thought I made fish and made it into salted fish. I also looked for workers from the countryside in the factory to exchange grain for some dried fruits such as dates.

After Lin Qingbai learned about this, he was not polite and let him take it all. Just turned around and went outside to get Yu's salted fish and bacon for the New Year. Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu almost burst into tears.

Thinking of these things, Xu Nannan went to look at Lin Qingbai, and was suddenly stunned. After Lin Qingbai entered the compound, the whole person became very serious. It's completely different from the three-pointed smile in Nanjiang.

Lin Qingsong didn't seem to be surprised at all. He obediently led the way, and from time to time introduced Xu Nannan to who was living nearby.

When it seemed to be a two-story building with a small courtyard, he stopped.

"Don't think we grew up here. When my brother came back, our family was still crowded with a room, and it was divided later." Lin Qingsong explained that Xu Nannan was worried about the burden in his heart.

Xu Nannan nodded calmly.

To be honest, in this military compound, apart from the extremely majestic entrance and the quiet inside, the house is not particularly luxurious. So when Xu Nannan looked at such a two-story building, he didn't feel the feeling of blindness.

Looking at her like this, Lin Qingsong raised her brows, thinking that his sister-in-law is not very young, and his heart is still quite big.

Lin Qingbai took Xu Nannan's hand and entered the room.

"Parents, my brother and sister-in-law are back."

Lin Qingsong shouted from behind.

Soon, the door of the small bungalow opened. Li Wan was wearing a thick military uniform, her eyes were straight at the person who came in, with a smile on her face, "Qingbo is back,"

"Brother Qingbai."

Lin Qingbai was about to take Xu Nannan into the house, and Li Wan's head popped out behind him. He has short hair with equal ears, a face with melon seeds, and a delicate eyebrow. In his early twenties.

Xu Nannan was taken aback and looked at Lin Qingbai.

As a result, Lin Qingbai nodded at the person, and directly pulled Xu Nannan into the house.

Seeing this, Li Wan frowned and walked behind, "Qingbo, I didn't say a word when I saw Ximei."

"It's okay, Aunt Li, Qingbai should have just got off the train and is tired." Sun Ximei smiled thoughtfully. He also came over to help pick up slippers, as if he were at home.

Lin Qingbai took the slippers in her hand expressionlessly and put them in front of Xu Nannan's feet first. Seeing Xu Nannan changing his shoes, he changed his shoes.

Sun Ximei smiled next to him, "Brother Qingbai is still the same as before, especially taking care of people."

Xu Nannan's ears moved. What does this mean, as if Lin Qingbai had taken care of her before.

Lin Qingbai changed his shoes, pursed his lips and led Xu Nannan to the living room.

On the wooden sofa in the living room, a middle-aged man in military uniform is sitting with stern face and majesty. The man's stern face was similar to Lin Qingbai.

"Dad," Lin Qingbai came over and shouted, and took Xu Nannan's hand again, "This is Nannan."

Xu Nannan hurriedly shouted, "Hello Uncle."

"Yeah." Lin Changzheng only glanced at Xu Nannan, then moved his gaze to Lin Qingbai. "I came back early this year. Are you planning to spend the Chinese New Year at home?"

Lin Qingbai nodded, "I'm going to spend it on Nanjiang. I might not be back next year for the New Year."

"Brother Qingbai, you won't come back for the New Year? You won't be back next year?" Sun Ximei walked over in surprise and sat next to Lin Qingbai, "You don't really want to stay there, my dad said you are in the army. It's good, why don't you come back."

Xu Nannan's eyes widened as she watched her sitting close. She moved aside. Then gave Lin Qingbai a look.

Lin Qingbai smiled, just got up and sat on the other side of her. Become Xu Nannan sitting in the middle.

Lin Changzheng on the other side jumped his brows, and calmly looked at the little girl sitting next to his son. He is really young, and he looks good. He lowered his eyes, "It's okay if you don't come back during the New Year, you have to come back to do this marriage."

Lin Qingbai said, "I'm afraid it won't work, I plan to do it in Nanjiang, and toss back and forth."

"What kind of marriage?" Li Wan walked over with a smile. Looking at Xu Nannan again, "I'm still so young, it's not appropriate to mention marriage. Lao Lin, what are you doing in a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid someone is in a hurry." Lin Changzheng said blankly.

Li Wan's face stiffened, and she smiled, "Okay, the child will come back and tell me what you are doing. Let's eat quickly, and talk about it after dinner." She turned around and called Sun Ximei, "Ximei, help Auntie serve the food. "

Sun Ximei was still in a daze. Hearing this, she responded softly, and then went to the kitchen with Li Wan.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Sun Ximei looked down and said, "Auntie, Brother Qingbai is getting married?"

Li Wan served the meal, and said, "What kind of marriage? The age is not yet reached. Besides, your Uncle Lin and I are not satisfied with this marriage. We still want to find someone closer to home and know the bottom line. In-laws. He didn’t like to go home in the first place. If he is looking for a place outside, I’m not sure if he doesn’t come back later. Ximei, I grew up watching you. Your dad and Lao Lin have a good relationship. Me. I always talked with your Uncle Lin before that if you were a daughter-in-law, it would be fine."

Sun Ximei moved her heart, bit her lip, helped with the dishes, blushing, and went out.

Li Wan looked at her with a smile on her face. What a nice girl, much better than that, Nan Nan. Qingbai didn't understand the relationship between men and women before, and he didn't know anything about it. Now that he knows how to do it, he will always make a comparison.

When the meal was open, Uncle Li and Aunt Li said that they were not willing to go to the table, and they ate in their small room.

Lin Changzheng had no choice but to let Lin Qingsong deliver the food in person.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit too quiet.

Lin Changzheng didn't like to talk, Lin Qingbai was also silent, and Xu Nannan was not easy to talk when he first arrived. Sun Ximei still said, "Brother Qingbai, when will I go to our house to play, my dad is still talking about you."

Lin Qingbai finally gave her a response this time, "You tell Uncle Sun, I will visit you."

Sun Ximei was overjoyed and looked at the dishes on the table, then chopsticks a piece of boiled meat, "Brother Qingbai, this is your favorite food when you were a kid." She put it in Lin Qingbai's bowl.

"Hey, I like to eat too. Give it to me." Lin Qingsong grabbed it with a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.

Sun Ximei looked at the empty chopsticks, she was stunned in her heart, and it was not easy to have a seizure. She smiled, "How old is it, and still grab something to eat."

"Qingsong, eat well, don't mess around." Lin Changzheng finally said. But his eyes swept in the direction of Lin Qingbai, and there was a missing piece that his son was picking vegetables for the little girl he brought back, and the corners of his lips were pursed as if there was no one next to them.

Lin Qingsong was uttered by his father, and he didn't dare to move any more. He sat down to eat honestly, but blinked at Xu Nannan.

After eating, Lin Changzheng called Lin Qingbai to the study. Xu Nannan stood up to help tidy up the dishes, wanting to help tidy up. Although she has a bad relationship with Li Wan, but now she is engaged to Lin Qingbai, this attitude is still necessary.

Li Wan took the bowls and chopsticks from her and smiled, "Sit and rest. Our Lin family has no reason to let the guests do it."

After speaking, he called Sun Ximei, "Ximei help me to help."

"Okay." Sun Ximei smiled and agreed, glanced at Xu Nannan, and entered the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Distinguished close relatives at once?

Xu Nannan raised his eyebrows, is it necessary? It seems that if she is not allowed to wash the dishes, she can't be with Lin Qingbai.

"Pump, pounce." Lin Qingsong uttered the pronunciation, and snorted to her, "Let's go out and talk."
