Chapter 104:

Xu Nannan had been waiting for her second child to come to her to settle the accounts, but there was no movement for a week. Instead, she waited until she was going to get engaged.

The day before the engagement, Lin Qingbai didn't know where he got the rice noodles, as well as fruits and vegetables. In addition, he got a few kilos of pork belly, which he could use when treating guests at the Yu family.

The two old men looked at these things he brought, their eyes straightened. Wasn't my family responsible for this engagement and treat? Why did you let the man take things here? Take so much.

"It's okay, I can't eat much by myself, I saved a lot. I asked the master canteen to store these things for me a long time ago. I have leftovers at the county party committee, and I will be able to make a table at that time. "

Listening to Lin Qingbai's words, the two elders of the Yu family liked the more they looked at the grandson-in-law. You can't find young people who can live like this. Which man does not come back from work to eat and drink, the woman has to worry about everything at home.

Grandma Yu sighed, "Nan Nan Xiao, these are all worrying you."

Xu Nannan was speechless, so she didn't worry about it anymore, because she didn't have a chance. She said she was going to treat guests before, and she was preparing to find famous items to buy things from Taobao...

Lin Qingbai smiled, "It's rare for me to worry about it."

This sounded no problem, but it made people feel sad. Grandpa Yu didn't understand Grandma Yu, but Xu Nannan felt uncomfortable. No wonder the rush to get married is a lack of family warmth.

The engagement banquet at Yu's side is Friday night. There is no way, because it has to be staggered with the time of the county party committee, and the treats cannot be divided into two weeks. So just have a meal in the afternoon. Anyway, they are all living in the neighbourhood, not far away, and go home after eating.

This time, Grandpa and Grandma Yu didn't let anyone follow him, but just came over for a free meal, which was regarded as a testimony. In the future, if you look at the two people coming in and out of each other, don't gossip.

A meal of fine grains can be eaten, but no one is unwilling to come. It's night time, and everyone is here. Grandpa Yu took Lin Qingbai to entertain the guests, smoking cigarettes, chatting and chatting. It's like getting married.

In the kitchen, the workshop director’s wife was helping to cook, and she looked outside from time to time, “Nannan is a good candidate. Look at this, the young guys in our factory can’t match it at first glance.”

Xu Nannan smiled. She really didn't pay attention to any **** men, and she didn't know how much worse they were than Lin Qingbai, so she couldn't respond.

The workshop director's wife said again, "How much is this **** man's salary a month?"

Xu Nannan was stunned, "I don't know."

"Ouch." The director-in-law's wife looked hated, "I've been here for so long, and I'm still engaged, so I don't know what the other party's income is. Your child is still too young. You must know this. Even if it's an engagement." , You have to control the money, you can’t let the money be spent randomly. Otherwise, how to raise children after getting married. You young people, you just don’t know how to live. I think this treat is not less spent today. Look, this I just don’t know how to live, just make a few dishes. If it doesn’t work, I just go to the cafeteria and get some meat dishes back, and I'll deal with it."

Seeing Xu Nannan's veiled face, she sighed, "This income has to be clarified, but don't think that they will take the initiative to say when you get married. If you don't ask about it when dealing with someone, you don't want to know when you get married. Men think carefully. It's too much, don't care about it, he can stuff money in his insoles."

When Xu Nannan heard it, he thought about the scene of Lin Qingbai stuffing money in the insole, and shuddered.

When the food was on the table, Xu Nannan was arranged to sit with Lin Qingbai, his eyes still subconsciously looking at Lin Qingbai's shoes. Pointy-toed leather shoes, the vamp shines brightly.

Regardless of what Xu Nannan thought, after a meal, the neighbors, including the textile factory, knew that the retired granddaughter of the deputy director’s house was engaged.

The man's tall and long spirit is in the county party committee.

As soon as the news came out, those who had thought and did not think before finally stopped thinking. We're all engaged, it's no different from getting married.

The next day, Xu Nannan wore a newly made blue Lenin costume, and the two twisted braids were smooth and shiny, without even leaving the bangs, showing a healthy oval face.

Under the gaze of Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu, they sat on the back seat of Lin Qingbai's bicycle.

Seeing the two old men's eyes with dismay, she coughed.

Isn't it just going to get engaged? It's like getting married.

On the way, Lin Qingbai told her about the situation of the county party committee.

The best relationship with him is Lao Gao, who is also Director Gao of the Public Security Bureau. Mr. Gao's wife was also the help of Director Gao's wife this time.

County Magistrate Sun doesn't talk much, he is a peacemaker. His wife is also a smart person. Secretary Jiang is about to retire, and he is basically a person who doesn't care about things. Liu Jianjun's family is no stranger, and this family doesn't need to have a deep friendship.

Anyway, I said that I invited a table, that is, the leaders of the county party committee have a meal.

When I arrived at the county committee compound, the first person I saw was the master guard. Seeing Minister Lin coming back on his bicycle, Master Ke came over. "Minister Lin came back so early."

Lin Qingbai got off the car, Xu Nannan also got down from behind and stood beside Lin Qingbai.

"Master Ke, this is my object. Yu Nannan works in Nanjiang Iron Mine."

Xu Nannan said hello with a polite smile, "Hello, Master Ke."

"Oh, it's Comrade Yu, I can remember. Next time you come to Minister Lin, come here anytime." Lao Ke said with a smile. Aunt Sun still said bad things about Minister Lin's object in front of him before, but now that she saw a real person coming, she could still speak it out.

The two went upstairs to see Lin Qingbai's house.

This was Xu Nannan's first visit to the county party committee, and the first time he came to see Lin Qingbai's residence. There was a little nervousness in his heart.

Originally thinking about the place where a big man lives, it must be a bit messy. Would she like to show her virtuousness properly, but when she entered the house, it was neater than her room.

Lin Qingbai lives in a suite, which can be used as a room outside and inside. But now there is a small wooden sofa outside, which is used as a living room.

There are not many things in the room, there is nothing on top of a few large items, and the desk is neatly tidy. The shoes at the door are all in shoe suits.

Lin Qingbo took her to watch the house, "Here is a living room temporarily. After getting married, there will be a place to entertain guests. If you have children, you can put bunk beds here so that the children can sleep. After thinking so much, I wanted this small suite. When the child gets older, I should be able to get a slightly larger house to live in."

His voice was still a bit annoying.

Xu Nannan's ears were itchy.

He didn't have a sense of family in the first place. Hearing this, I couldn't help but imagine. There is a family, children, parents, a complete family. It doesn't matter if the house is a little smaller, it's squeezed to live together, and in a small space, there are pots and pans, clothes and socks.

The banquet is held in the canteen of the county party committee. Director Gao's wife personally took the lead. When Xu Nannan came, this one was still busy. Seeing Xu Nannan's arrival, Director Gao's wife looked at her with a smile, "No wonder Minister Lin is in a hurry to get engaged. The long, handsome girl will feel uneasy if she doesn't settle down sooner."

Xu Nannan blushed when she heard her joking. While talking, the magistrate Sun's wife also came to help. After seeing Xu Nannan, he smiled and said, "I have heard Minister Lin talking about you a long time ago, and Minister Lin has been hiding it forever, not showing us..."

Director Gao’s wife laughed, “I’ve seen enough today, I know my face, and I will go out in the future, but don’t know it, or Director Lin will be anxious with us.”

Listening to the joking words, Xu Nannan also learned from the shy smiles of other girls. As for talking... I'm not familiar with talking nonsense.

Xu Nannan still dare not look down upon the families of these cadres. People follow the political methods that men learn, and who knows what it means after a sentence.

Soon, the men outside came together. Liu Jianjun's wife couldn't bear it either. She ran to the kitchen to find Xu Nannan Tao and asked her about her relationship with Li Jing either intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing Li Jing's name, Xu Nannan's expression was a little bad, "It was related before, but I have already adopted it, and the two families don't communicate."

Then I stopped talking.

The daughter-in-law of Director Gao next to him came over and pulled Liu Jianjun's daughter-in-law, "This is a happy day, ask what this is doing."

Liu Jianjun's wife also saw that Xu Nannan didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask much. Anyway, I have already asked from the other side, this is really breaking the relationship with the Xu family. That's good, if Li Jing comes to the door in the future, she doesn't have to be polite.

When the food was served, the hosts and guests gathered around a table. County Mayor Sun smiled and said, "Although it is Xiaolin’s engagement, it’s not marriage yet, but I still have to say that in the future, it’s less than that, it’s our county committee members. When it’s okay, Come and walk more, and your sister-in-laws... are you sister-in-law, alas, Xiaolin's generation has taken advantage of it. Just exchange and study with your sister-in-law."

Lin Qingbai stood up, "Nan Nan is young, and I will need my sister-in-law to help me in the future. I will do it first."

Xu Nannan also quickly stood up and toasted together.

After drinking it to his mouth, Xu Nannan looked at someone who was calm and squinted at the taste of boiled water.

When the banquet dissipated, Lin Qingbai drank a little bit, his neck and face were red.

Xu Nannan seems to have heard people say before that the more embarrassed people are, the less drunk they are. It's just that the drunken look on his face is too bluffing. Or Director Gao and Liu Jianjun sent people back to the house together.

Officially engaged, there is no need to avoid suspicion. Director Gao's wife brought hot water and asked Xu Nannan to take care of Lin Qingbai.

It was the first time Xu Nannan took care of a drunk person. He looked at someone lying on the bed pretending to be dizzy. He walked over and twisted the water with a towel. He walked to the bed and stretched out his hand to cover his forehead with the veil." Everyone is gone, what are you going to pretend."

"Puff." The person on the bed finally moved, holding the towel on his face in one hand and propping it up with the other. His eyes were piercing, as if he was drunk.

"I want to enjoy the care of my fiancée, but turned out to be so inconsiderate."

Xu Nannan squinted at him, "Who said to take care of me? Don't let me worry about it."

Lin Qingbai smiled helplessly and looked at Xu Nannan with bright eyes, which was also pretty good.

Xu Nannan was a little uncomfortable when he saw him, "What are you looking at."

She didn't even bring a flower today. It's so simple. The noodles in the clear soup look awkward.

"See when you grow up." Lin Qingbai reached out and held one of her hands, and did not let her resist, "Nan Nan, we are already engaged, and marriage is a matter of time. If you have anything, you can tell me . Don’t have other worries. I know that you are young and may not understand some things. You can listen to what others say. As long as you are not happy, no one can force you. It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, I will protect you. "

Xu Nannan heard a little guilty at the beginning, worried that he was talking about Taobao, but when he heard that he was confused. Why not be willing to force it.

"With me protecting you, don't have any worries in the future." Lin Qingbai said seriously, keeping his eyes on Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan: "..."

Seeing that Xu Nannan hadn't responded for a long time, Lin Qingbai was secretly relieved. "Forget it, let it be when you want to talk to me in the future. Just remember that no matter what happens, we are all one family.

It's engaged, it's a family.

Xu Nannan also looked at him, then nodded.

She thought, if anyone in this life really knows her secret in the future, it must be the person who will spend a lifetime with her.

Xu Nannan did not hide the engagement matter from the people in the mine. According to Lin Qingbai's idea, if it weren't for being too eye-catching, he wanted Xu Nannan to invite people from the mine to eat. But there are too many people in the mine. Please ask for a table. People don't know how much jealousy it will be. It’s not good to ask this or not.

So the two of them didn’t invite them at all, but Lin Qingbai tried to get some fruit candy, which can only be bought by marriage, and I don’t know where he got it, so Xu Nannan took it to the mine and gave it to someone to eat. .

The candy was sent to several offices, and it didn't take long for the mine to know about it.

When Director Zhu went to the mine to find someone to do ideological work, he met Xu Jiansheng and spoke in the way.

After Xu Jiansheng knew it, he didn't speak for a long time. At noon, I took the food stamps to the trade union to exchange for some industrial and cloth tickets, took them home and gave them to Li Jing.

Li Jing, who hadn't grasped economic power for a long time, suddenly looked at these tickets and lost her eyes.

Before I was too happy, I listened to Xu Jiansheng, "Go and buy some good materials in the afternoon. If you have leather shoes... Forget it, you don't know how big she wears. Just buy some materials that the older girls wear."

Hearing what Xu Jiansheng said, Li Jing asked, "What can I buy for the big girl. Buy it for Honghong? She is in the country. This material is not suitable for the country."

The point is that she doesn't want to go back to her hometown to deliver things. It would be bad if she was caught by the old lady and refused to come back.

Hearing her red lips, Xu Jiansheng's brows curled up and said, "I bought it for Nan Nan."

"What, why buy her?" Li Jing was shocked and reluctant.

"She's engaged, let's say it anyway. You don't have to worry about this, just go shopping and come back, and then let Xiaoling send it away."

Li Jing bit her lip, "She didn't tell us about her engagement, why should she buy it for her."

Xu Jiansheng was unhappy and said, "Let you buy it, buy it, there are so many talks everywhere."

When Xu Jiansheng yelled, Li Jing immediately didn't dare to say a word. Just holding the ticket in my hand, it's not a good feeling in my heart. It's nothing to do with her, and she still needs to use her ticket. Why?

When Xu Jiansheng left, Li Jing pulled Xu Ling, "If your dad asks you if you have anything to give to Nan Nan, you just say it is, don't you know!"

The voice is full of threats.

Xu Ling looked at her straight, then nodded. Carrying a schoolbag and walking silently.

He just went out and looked back at Li Jing holding the various tickets in her pocket, her eyes drooping, revealing an indifferent expression.

In the office of the Procurement Section, Xu Nannan was about to work, and there was another tinkling sound in his head.

Another note I am the second child.

Xu Nannan's heart trembled. I haven't seen this kid for a while, and I thought it was okay. If I ran out of this meeting, is it possible to find her to settle accounts?

Xu Nannan felt guilty for a moment, and then became hardened. To tell the truth, it's not a time and space, and I'm afraid that he won't make it?

So closed his eyes and entered the Taobao store.

[I’m the second child]: Is there any kind of bottle? Find me some more. The price is not a problem.

Xu Nannan: "..."

What's the matter, it doesn't look like she is going to settle accounts with her. Still looking for something like that, is it possible that one million is too little to be scammed.

[I'm the second child]: "Seriously, the price is not a problem. Find me some more."

Xu Nannan: "Are you sure it's the genuine product, without a punch?"

[I'm the second child]: "No, it's pretty good."

Now Xu Nannan was depressed. Could it be that Wei Xiaodong had hit the eye? impossible. How can Wei Xiaodong study such a flamboyant thing carefully? If it is not true, then it is definitely not true. Unless the degree of high imitation is too high, it is not found on the other side.

Seeing the joyous news sent by the other party, Xu Nannan suddenly felt that it was indeed a reincarnation in heaven. The person who punched the eye was so happy that he asked for another punch.

She laughed, "Okay, next time you meet a good one, I will definitely keep it for you."

The second child came over with a smile.

The news was closed, and new news came. It's an old antique.

[Old Antique]: "Did you sell an eight treasure bottle to your second child for one million?"

Xu Nannan raised his eyebrows, this is looking for a place, "I persuaded him not to buy, he has to buy."

[Old Antique]: "I didn't want to blame you, that thing is indeed fake, but his purpose has been achieved. I just want to ask you...who are you?"

The direction of things is too weird, and the address is also fake. The key is that things are getting weird.

Xu Nannan frowned when he looked at his weird question, "Taobao shop owner."

[Old Antique]: "...Forget it." Do you want to use your family relationship and check it carefully.

When the other party went offline, Xu Nannan was still in the clouds.

No wonder these two people are friends. Look at this babble, it's really a matter of gathering people into groups.

But this one million can be spent at ease.

Xu Nannan secretly stole music in his heart.

Starting in November, the mine started to get busy. Even Xu Nannan was busy, and the department cooperated with the finance department to clear the accounts and submit various year-end statements and so on. At this time, there is no computer to use, it is all handwritten orders.

Get busy, the whole department is busy.

Sometimes when Xu Nannan is off work, his head is dizzy. Sitting in Lin Qingbai's car drowsy.

"Nannan, why don't you change your job, move it up, and change it easily."

Xu Nannan woke up suddenly, "A woman can stand up to half of the sky, how can she retreat from the difficulties, and rise to the difficulties." She also thought about picking up something when she was on a business trip. Wei Xiaodong alone is not enough.

Hearing what she said, Lin Qingbai didn't even know what was thinking in her head. But I was also worried that she was young and vigorous now, and it would be okay to be in a hurry.

"Let's go back to the capital at the end of the month, and we will spend the Chinese New Year in Nanjiang."

"Ah, so fast?" Xu Nannan knew that Lin Qingbai was going to take her to the capital, but he always felt it was too early.

"It's not fast, I have already sent a telegram to the other side. There is also the northwest side, I also wrote a letter to the past, there should know about our engagement."

Xu Nannan gave a hum. She also secretly sent something to Teacher He. I don't know if Teacher He has received it.

When he got home, Lin Qingbai stuffed her a book with a simple binding. Xu Nannan almost stared when he saw the big characters above.

"What are you doing for me?" Xu Nannan asked.

"Improve books, read more." Lin Qingbai said casually, "read more when you are fine, it will do no harm."

Xu Nannan nodded.

Of course she knew it would do no harm. This book will be read sooner or later, but when Lin Qingbai took it out, she was shocked. I thought it was ahead of schedule. Lin Qingbai will show her this book, is it a coincidence or... it should be a coincidence.

Back in the room, she took out the book and looked at it, and decided to recite from today.

Well, not only her, but also Xiaoman, they should recite together.

I thought the weather was fine when I returned to the capital at the end of the month. As a result, I got on the train, and the further north, the colder it started.

Slowly, the outside scenery was covered with white snow.

Xu Nannan was shivering, and Lin Qingbai on the bed next to her covered her with a thick military coat, which relieved her. Lin Qingbai next to him was wearing a not-so-thick padded jacket, reading the newspaper by himself. I don't know what to watch, don't mention it seriously.

"Brother Lin, um, is your dad in Beijing good talking?" Xu Nannan asked, lying on the bed.

Lin Qingbai looked up at her. Chuckled, "Why, nervous?"

"Not at all." Xu Nannan shook his head, "You know, your aunt doesn't seem to like me very much. If your dad doesn't want to see me either. Isn't I going to find anger?"

"Should we go back then?" Lin Qingbai said with a serious expression.

Xu Nannan couldn't help rolling his eyes, "It's all out, how can I go back. Besides, I'm going to deliver the letter for Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu."

After knowing that she and Lin Qingbai were coming to the capital, the two elders wrote a letter early, saying it was for the old leader of her father Yu Hai who had sacrificed. Xu Nannan thought it was more convenient to send it out, but the two elders said that it was even more important for her to send it in person.

Anyway, they are all going to the capital, so it's okay to drop by.

Xu Nannan didn't know what was written in this letter, but she was not good at the two elders' request, so she could only do so.
