Chapter 120：

Xu Nannan coughed and coughed strangely. It seemed that the villagers didn't know about Xu Hong. She was not prepared to say, this is not a good thing, there is no need to say it to make a commotion.

At noon, I made dumplings and steamed salted fish and bacon. The whole family gathered around the table and had a lively meal.

Grandma Chen left Xu Nannan and Lin Qingbai to stay at home for one day, Xu Nannan said, "I don't have time to live, so I don't worry about it at home. He also wants to work."

Hearing what Xu Nannan said, Grandma Chen didn't want to stay.

While eating and happy, there was a quarrel from the back room.

The old Xu's family has been divided into three rooms, and Liu Qiao's family is divided into one, but usually the third child, Xu Jianping, still has to provide rations to the old man and Mrs. Xu. The two old men lived with Xu Jianhai.

Today Xu Jiansheng also brought his wife and children back to celebrate the New Year. As a result, the old lady gave him a slap in the face when he entered the door.

The reason was that Xu Meizi encountered difficulties in the mine, and Xu Jiansheng, the uncle, didn't even reach out.

"I raised you for so many years, so why did you raise such a ruthless thing. Sanya is not your niece? Why are you so cruel?"

The faces of Liu Qiao and Xu Jianping next to them were not very good.

Originally, the boss gave the job to Xu Lei, and the two were a little unconvinced. This time the daughters encountered difficulties, so they didn't bother to talk about it. To put it in a nasty way, that is not to treat his brother as a family.

Xu Jiansheng was bored without saying a word, while Li Jing shrank his shoulders and hid beside him. I'm worried that Mrs. Xu will pull her on her body.

When Xu Laotian saw himself scolded for such a while, neither of the two of them responded, so he immediately threw a stick.

"What's wrong, why don't you stop talking."

Xu Jiansheng raised his head now, his eyes were red, "Mom, this is the mine's decision, how can I reach out. Also, Meizi himself has a problem."

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Big Brother, Meizi lived with you and sister-in-law when she was so young, so what's the problem?"

The implication is that there is a problem, which is also the responsibility of Xu Jiansheng and Li Jing.

Mrs. Xu also patted the table, “It’s right, Jiansheng, you’re an uncle, and it’s your responsibility to teach your children. If your child makes a mistake, you have to be taught by yourself, so how can you stop her from becoming a regular student?”

Mrs. Xu didn't care if Xu Meizi could turn into a normal position. But Liu Qiao told her that if Xu Meizi turns into a normal career, the family life will not be easy, and she won't be able to take care of the two old people in the future.

Ever since the third family separated, Mrs. Xu also knew that she had been suppressed for so many years and could no longer be suppressed. Now the second family is still willing to listen to Leizi because of her work. The third child's family is not easy to manage.

So this time Mrs. Xu has to ask Xu Jiansheng to agree to help Xu Meizi get regular. Showing her ability, Liu Qiao and Xu Jianping dare not despise her.

Li Jing pulled Xu Jiansheng, "Old Xu, or else, do you think of a solution?"

Being scolded like this by the old lady, Li Jing was also deficient in anger. Don't know what to do.

Xu Jiansheng had a blank face. "Mom, what do you want me to do. What do you want me to do? Haven't I done enough these years? I owe the family, am I still paying it back? Four children, one by one. If you can read, let them study. Whenever it’s hard, Li Jing and I went hungry, but they didn’t make them hungry. What do you want me to do?"

The last sound was almost a roar.

No one else in the room seemed to expect Xu Jiansheng to be so emotional. In the past, as long as the old lady spoke, Xu Jiansheng did not deny counsel. This time it even choked.

Mrs. Xu also froze for a moment, and quickly reacted, and sat on the ground crying, "What is my life? I have such an unfilial son. I have not been raising me for so many years. Let me help my niece. Just make trouble with me, my God, I can't live anymore."

The loud cry of the old lady shocked everyone in the village.

Soon, a group of people surrounded the door to watch the excitement.

Old man Xu felt embarrassed and patted the table, "Okay, it's going to be the New Year. What's wrong. It's not ashamed."

Didn't you look at the boss's face changed? He added fuel to the fire. Old man Xu wanted to give the old lady a kick.

"Jiansheng, your mother is talking nonsense about this, if you don't like it...just forget it." Old man Xu said helplessly.

When Xu Jianping heard it, he was unhappy, "Dad. It’s not okay for you to say that. We are a family, and there is something in the family. Why can’t the eldest brother reach out? The eldest brother gave the job to the second brother’s Leizi, I said I didn't say anything. What's wrong with helping our Sanya now?"

When Xu Jiansheng listened to his brother's words, his heart was greatly blocked.

Regardless of whether it is the second child or the third child, he feels that he should pay for the family. You should raise a child, and take responsibility if you don’t raise it. The job should be given to the second family, and the third family should be pulled.

Everyone thinks this is correct.

But what about his children? The two children he raised at home are gone now, and they don’t recognize him anymore. Whom does he call for trouble?

Xu Jiansheng wiped a handful of tears and his nose was red. Looking at his family with red eyes, "I can’t stretch my hand about Meizi. If you think I’m not good, just scold me, I’m all right. I’ll also say something while everyone is here today. I don’t care about family affairs. No matter what!"

After Xu Jiansheng finished speaking, he took out a stack of money from his pocket and threw it on the ground. Xu Ling, who was standing by the door, walked out.

Li Jing saw it, and went to the market to keep up, "Old Xu, Old Xu, wait."

Behind him, Lao Xu's family watched this scene dumbfounded.

The old lady said, "This, what does this mean, boss, what does this mean?"

Zhang Cuiqin tilted her face and said, "I don't care, Mom, I don't recognize you anymore." If you don't care, she won't worry. In the future, the son will take over the job, and the daughter will marry the county party committee, and there will be no need for the elder's family.

Only then did Granny Xu react and lay down on the ground and rolled, "Doing evil, doing evil—"

No one persuaded her to get up this time.

Xu Jiansheng took Xu Ling to leave the village. When passing by Song Guihua's house, he saw Xu Nannan who grew up in the courtyard of Song Guihua's house. He wiped his face, sighed heavily, and continued walking.

However, Li Jing walked behind, and when she saw Xu Nannan, she cursed, "Eat what's inside and out." He hurried to catch up.

Grandma Chen sipped at her back, "It's not a thing." In front of Lao Xu's family, like a dough, she turned sideways to her own daughter. Such a person is really not worthy of being a mother.

Lin Qingbai squeezed Xu Nannan's hand.

Xu Nannan smiled at him slightly, "It's nothing, I didn't care about it." When she faced Xu Jiansheng and Li Jing in the early days, there were no waves. Maybe the original owner's true remains in this body. Consciousness has no hope of them.

As for Xu Jiansheng and the old Xu family falling out, she didn't think anything should be fun. No matter how much Xu Jiansheng regrets, no matter how much he draws a line from the old Xu family, he cannot make up for the fresh life that once disappeared under their merciless indifference.

Because Lin Qingbai was present, neither Grandma Chen nor Song Guihua mentioned much about the old Xu family. Lin Qingbai also assumed that nothing had happened, eating as usual, and chatting with Xu Gui. When the meal was over, Xu Nannan proposed to go back to the city. It's dark in winter now, so I have to leave early.

Grandma Chen didn't say anything, so she asked Song Guihua to get a piece of meat from the village a year ago to Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan doesn't want it, Grandma Chen is not happy, "It's pig ears, take it back and give it to your grandpa and Xiaolin to drink and eat."

Xu Nannan couldn't postpone it, so he took it.

When you leave the village, there are fewer people. Xu Nannan put his hand in Lin Qingbai's pocket. The footprints of the two people became darker and lighter in the snow.

"This year's New Year's grandma said to let you go to our side."

"Yeah." Lin Qingbai nodded with a chuckle.

"I sent something in the northwest. It should be a good year."

"Thank you." He rubbed Xu Nannan's hand in his pocket.

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Thank you, it's not for you, I have to send it too. He has a great kindness to me." I just think this fate is very strange.

Before dark, I finally arrived in the county seat. Xu Nannan's feet were frozen and numb, so he decided not to go out during the Chinese New Year, so he was nestled in the stove at home.

By the way, you can roast sweet potatoes and roast peanuts.

Lin Qingbaisong went to the county committee compound after she returned home.

As soon as I arrived at the county party committee compound, I saw a person squatting at my door. At first glance, his eyes narrowed. "How did you come?"

Sun Ximei had been squatting at this gate all afternoon, and she was cold all over. Director Gao's wife asked her to go to the house, but she was not willing to go, so she was worried that she had missed Lin Qingbai's return.

The moment she heard Lin Qingbai's voice, she felt like she was dreaming.

Seeing Lin Qingbai standing in front of her, she ran over excitedly, "Brother Qingbai, you finally came back. I made a special trip from Beijing to accompany you during the New Year."

Her eyes lit up.

The words Lin Qingbai said last time made her sad, but she also knew that it was because Lin Qingbai didn't know her thoughts. So I came back after the next year, but she came here early this time, just to let Lin Qingbai have a good year. If you are away from home, celebrating the New Year alone, it must be very deserted.

After coming to this small county, she regretted not coming over earlier. In such a small place, Brother Qingbai was definitely not used to it when he first came. No wonder let a little girl take advantage of it.

Lin Qingbai's brows were almost frowning.

"Naughty. I don't need someone to accompany you, you go back."

He said that without looking at her, he opened the door directly.

Sun Ximei followed behind with her luggage, "Brother Qingbai, I don't have a place to live in this cold weather..."

Lin Qingbai looked back at her and pointed to a building east of the county party committee compound with a sullen face. "That's the guest house of the county party committee. You can live there by going through the formalities."

Sun Ximei bit her lip, "I am unfamiliar with my life alone, Brother Qingbai, please take me in for one night."

"Comrade Sun Ximei, you are already an adult, and you should know how a normal relationship between men and women gets along. The conditions in the county committee guest house are not bad, enough for you to live in. You go live for one night, and you will go wherever you want to go tomorrow."

After Lin Qingbai finished speaking, he opened the door, and closed the door with his backhand when he entered.

Sun Ximei stared at the closed door in a daze, reached out her hand and tapped a few times, but didn't respond. Then she went to the guest house with aggrieved things.

Director Gao opened the door at his house, and the Director's wife stretched her head out and glanced. She thought that the **** didn't know where she came from, so she didn't understand the rules. I still want to sleep in a room with Director Lin, and I'm not afraid of people gossiping.

Minister Lin is someone who has a target.

She felt that next time Xu Nannan came, she had to remind him not to let Lin Qingbai be hooked away by someone.

Just as he was about to enter the house, Lin Qingbai came out of the house again. She smiled awkwardly, "Go out again?"

Aren't we going to find that **** Gang?

Lin Qingbai nodded and went straight downstairs. Director Gao's wife took a glance from upstairs, and saw that Lin Qingbai went directly out of the gate and did not go to the guest house, so she was relieved.

Lin Qingbai went to the office to call Zhang Lei. Ask him to help pass a message to his father, Lin Changzheng, to tell him that Sun Ximei has come to the provincial capital.

When Zhang Lei heard this, he smiled weirdly, "Brother, you are so popular."

"Seriously, please tell me about this. Sun Ximei's father may be the leader of Gao Jianguo."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei stopped joking. If someone like Gao Jianguo can get someone like Gao Jianguo, what kind of a good role is that if his girl is wronged here, who knows what means this person will use then?

"Brother, this must be conveyed, and you must be careful. Don't get involved in such a family." Don't look at the beautiful scenery now, so many people hate it, and you don't know what will happen in the future.

After the matter was clearly explained, Lin Qingbai put the matter down.

In the next few days, Sun Ximei waited for Lin Qingbai in the yard every morning, but she never waited for anyone. When Lin Qingbai came back in the afternoon, he didn't see anyone. Ask the master guard at the door. The master smiled and showed his yellow teeth, "We will guard the gate, we don't know anything."

People Minister Lin has an object, so why are you girl so careless. The unlucky Minister Lin has a firm temper, otherwise he would have been betrayed by you so entangled.

Master Ke really didn't look down on this girl. Although she came from a big city and she had a temperament, he felt that she was not as sensible as the girl in this small county.

In the small county town of Nanjiang, I haven't seen a **** chasing **** men and chasing them into their dormitory.

I haven't seen it for several days. Until New Year's Eve, I didn't see Lin Qingbai's people. Only then did Sun Ximei go to the provincial capital with aggrieved luggage with her luggage.

At the Yu family's side, Lin Qingbai was playing chess with Grandpa Yu.

Lin Qingbai didn't know where to get this thing. Grandpa Yu hasn't played chess for many years, and someone will accompany him. He played dimly and didn't even want to eat.

Grandma Yu called him from the kitchen several times, but she didn't make a move. Angrily can't wait to pull his ears. Looking at the grandson-in-law at home again, it's hard to make the old man face down.

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Lin Qingbai deliberately missed two moves and lost smoothly to Grandpa Yu. The old man then went to the table happily for a reunion dinner.

The rice was cooked by Xu Nannan alone, Xiaoman helped to make the fire, and the two sisters cooked eight dishes. Except for the three meat dishes, everything else is patchwork.

Rao is like this, the excited eyes of Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu are red. To put it bluntly these years have been the most lively and reunion of the New Year at home.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he went to a neighbor's house to pay a New Year greeting, and on the second day of the New Year, Xu Nannan went to the county party committee to pay a New Year greeting with Lin Qingbai.

Before entering the house, Director Gao's wife asked Xu Nannan to bite her ears in the small kitchen.

Lin Qingbai smiled and sighed upon seeing this.

Sure enough, when Xu Nannan came out of the kitchen, the expression in his eyes was meaningful.

Lin Qingbai's expression was open, without any guilty conscience.

When he left Director Gao's house and returned to Lin Qingbai's dormitory, Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Comrade Lin, be lenient in confession and strict in resistance."

"Isn't it just about Sun Ximei," Lin Qingbai squeezed her face amusedly. He knew that Xu Nannan had not misunderstood, but just found a reason and wanted to toss him. "I met on the first day, and then I slept over there in the office. You don't know how uncomfortable I was when I couldn't fall asleep in the cold at midnight,"

"Don't fool me, can you still wrong yourself?" Xu Nannan didn't believe what he said, and then stood around in this room. "This is my place. If you let an irrelevant woman come in, huh!"

Lin Qingbai couldn't help but smile upon hearing her domineering words. This little Nizi is really getting more and more tossing people. He walked over, took the person in his arms, and took a deep breath.

Xu Nannan said, "Wait, you haven't promised me yet."

"Promise to answer, when did I promise you?" Lin Qingbai lowered his head and kissed her lips. He tasted the sweet taste, and he sighed with satisfaction. This is the best New Year gift ever received.

Xu Nannan was so dizzy by the kiss that he had forgotten Sun Ximei a long time ago.

The Spring Festival holiday ended soon. On the first day after returning to the mine to work, Xu Nannan received a message from Old Antique that the technical data of the engine had been bought, and a total of 1.2 million yuan was spent.

Xu Nannan almost scolded his mother when he saw this number.

Knowing that the crystallization of science and technology is valuable, is it too expensive?

[Old Antique]: "This is the price that was won after a long discussion. You know, this is the engine. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to research this in the first place."

"Is everything comprehensive?" Xu Nannan confirmed.

Who knows that this one is actually very generous, "It's all in it, you can take it and see it first, and then give it to you if you find it useful."

Xu Nannan was surprised, "This is more than one million things, do you trust me so much?"

Old Antique sent a smiley face over, "There are not many people in this world who can deceive me a million and get out of their bodies."

Hearing these words, Xu Nannan finally believed that people are grouped into groups by things. How could these words be so similar to the second child's tone. It's so self-confident that people want to have a meal.

People are generous, and Xu Nannan doesn't bother. She really needs to look at things. After all, she is poor. The kind of poor people whose wealth can't afford a few technological crystallizations.

The so-called technical materials are a lot of paper drawings and written records. Xu Nannan watched it carefully for a while, but didn't understand the principles of these things.

"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, this thing is to find someone who knows how to do it."

Xu Nannan thought about it carefully, and the only thing he could think of was Lin Qingsong. It’s just that how can this thing be shown to Lin Qingsong without being doubted...

Xu Nannan felt that it was time for him to go on a business trip and find a source for these drawings. So when Section Chief Xiao Xiao assigned the new year's business trip, Xu Nannan volunteered to go to Shanghai to go to sea.

Hearing that Xu Nannan was going on a business trip, Lin Qingbai was a little worried, "Nannan, after this business trip, let's change my position."

Xu Nannan was surprised, "Why?"

"It may be inconvenient in the future. Change the position. Otherwise, I'm not at ease."

Xu Nannan thought of next year... his heart jumped fiercely. Then he nodded obediently. "Well, I'll talk to Section Chief Xiao when I come back."

Seeing that she was so obedient, Lin Qingbai felt wronged and comforted her, "This is only temporary, trust me. When it is convenient in the future, I will support you what you want to do."

Xu Nannan said, but he knew that it would take a long time.

Early in the morning, Xu Nannan went to Shanghai by car.

It has been a long time since I went to Shanghai last time. Coming to Shanghai again, Xu Nannan found that Shanghai has changed a lot. Everyone seems to have become conservative in dressing, a youth uniform and military uniform. The bright colors of clothes before are rare.

The hair on the heads of the lesbians is no longer curled up. They are either short ears or braids, and they all look very simple.

Looking at these changes, Xu Nannan felt mixed.

When I went to the guest house I had stayed in before and got a single room, Xu Nannan sat on the bed in a daze. Thinking of the things in the provincial capital, and those things afterwards, she became more and more confused.

The next day, after going to the department store to buy the necessary parts, Xu Nannan hurriedly left Shanghai and hurried back to Nanjiang.

After setting foot on the familiar land again, she felt her heart settled down. Brother Lin was right, it is not suitable for business trips in the future. She sighed secretly. It is precisely because I know how terrible it is that I feel fearful. Those feelings of fear made her have the courage to stay alone in a strange city.

After returning to the mine and handing in the task, Xu Nannan asked for leave and hurried to the Armed Forces Department to find Lin Qingbai.

People from the Armed Forces Department knew Xu Nannan. Seeing her coming, they immediately went inside and talked to Lin Qingbai.

After a while, Lin Qingbai came out in a hurry. When he saw Xu Nannan, his face was full of smiles, "I came back so quickly this time? I thought you were going to go for more than half a month."

Xu Nannan grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Brother Lin, find a place that is convenient for talking. I have something to show you."

Lin Qingbai raised her brows slightly and looked at both sides, "Follow me to the office."

Xu Nannan gave a hum, and followed him behind him like a drum. Secretly cheered himself up. Now that you have decided to do these things, you have to take such a step.

After entering the office, Lin Qingbai closed the door and looked at Xu Nannan's nervousness. He smiled and poured her a cup of hot water, "Don't worry, talk about things slowly."

"Can't be slow," Xu Nannan said firmly, then took a sip of water and put the cup on the coffee table. Put the bag that was just carried on Lin Qingbai's desk. He reached into the bag and fiddled with it, and then he took out stacks of paper.

Different from the roughness of current paper, these papers are very white and have a very smooth texture. Lin Qingbai's expression moved, and he lowered his head and looked at the contents of the information carefully.

Xu Nannan walked nervously on the side and poked his fingers.

Lin Qingbai looked seriously and devoted himself, as if he had forgotten that there was still a person sitting next to him. I've been waiting for a third of it. Lin Qingbai looked at Xu Nannan with bright eyes, "Where did these come from?"

Xu Nannan's lips moved, "Pick it up, pick it up."
