Xiang Guifan's passbook has been with her for some time, about ten years. He gave it to her when they were on the island.
Later she returned it several times, but Xiang Guifan never took it back.
These people don't need this little money, and they don't rely on this salary to make a living, so they didn't care if the passbook was not in their hands.
Xiang Guifan refused to take it and gestured with his hand: You take it and use it.
Then he asked: Are you leaving?
Lin Nanfeng said: "We will leave Su Province tomorrow and go to Nanzhou Island."
Xiang Guifan's expression paused, but he was actually happy in his heart.
Because she doesn't have to go out for the time being.
Lin Nanfeng said, "There shouldn't be anything wrong here. Go back to Beijing quickly so your parents don't worry about you."
Xiang Guifan refused to take the passbook and asked her to handle it, but his face looked thoughtful.
The fat man asked from the side: "Why did the boss let you go to Nanzhou Island? Why did you have to go to that godforsaken island when there are so many other places to go?"
That island is really not a good place to go. There is not even fresh water on it. It is common to have power outages and food shortages during storms.
Lin Nanfeng also sighed. He couldn't say that it might be his mother's pillow talk!
Lin Nanfeng asked the fat man, "What are your plans next?"
The fat man said without thinking: "Go back to Beijing. The assigned job is still there. Work for a few months first and then go to school when school starts."
The fat man glanced at Xiang Guifan and asked Lin Nanfeng, "Have you been on the island all year?"
He leaned his chin towards the house and whispered, "Didn't our boss tell you about his future plans? Didn't he make any plans for you?"
Lin Nanfeng shook his head.
The three of them were silent for a while.
The fat man said mysteriously, "Could it be that your stepfather did something to trip you up? Otherwise, he shouldn't have been sent to the island, right?"
When the fat man mentioned the word "stepfather", Lin Nanfeng gave him a cold look.
He smiled awkwardly and thought: That must be because the parents love their child, otherwise it would be unreasonable!
Lin Nanfeng was stunned when he glanced at the fat man's hand and asked him, "Have you seen Dean Liang? Ask him to make a few models for your fingers. I see people abroad also have prosthetic limbs."
The fat man raised his hand, twitched his thumb a few times, and said, "I went to look for him. He said he needed to find the materials and asked me to wait. He said he would send it to me in Beijing when it was ready."
He looked up at them again and said, "It looks better with a prosthetic limb than without one. At least it's not scary."
Xiang Guifan patted his shoulder comfortingly, and the fat man smiled indifferently.
He was still alive and could stand here and chat peacefully. Losing a few fingers was nothing. In his opinion, he was lucky.
The three of them seemed to have sensed something and all looked in the direction of the Martyrs' Cemetery in silence.
Lin Nanfeng went to look for Mao Shufen in the evening, but when he got there he found out that she had already run away.
Lin Nanfeng became more and more certain that Mao Shufen must have seen something in her, otherwise she would not have gone out again just after coming back.
Could it be that he saw that she had been reincarnated and was afraid that she would kill him to silence him, so he hid away?
Lin Nanfeng went back to sleep with a heart full of questions.
According to past practice, her mother would definitely come and sleep with her for a night before she left, but her mother didn't come tonight.
This made Lin Nanfeng suspicious again. Something was wrong!
——She couldn't sleep that night.
The next day, with eyes swollen like walnuts, Lin Nanfeng boarded the train to Nanzhou.
After getting in the car, Lin Nanfeng couldn't help but lean out of the window to ask the couple.
"Commander Qin, Comrade Lin, if you have something to say, please don't hide it. Give me a clear answer whether I live or die. What do you think about my military service? Don't make me guess, okay?"
Qin Shouguo thought to himself: A few days ago, he drank a little and came back to act crazy and stupid, making a fuss, but your mother didn't give in. But today, when you asked her, she gave in. How is that possible?
Just as I was thinking this, my wife next to me said to my daughter, "We mean that you should go to school first and get a good diploma. Then you can move up to a higher level and have a ladder to look good..."
Lin Zhengran paused when he said this, and Lin Nanfeng looked at her without blinking.
Lin Zhengran finished speaking in one breath: "From now on, you will make your own decisions about your own affairs."
Um?
The surprise came so suddenly that Lin Nanfeng was in shock and couldn't recover.
Qin Shouguo on the side was also very surprised. He didn't agree before, so why did he let her make the decision now?
Seeing his daughter's silly look, Lin Zhengran couldn't help but smile.
She figured it out that if her daughter loved this career more than anything else, then they, as parents and family members, would support her.
For a moment, Qin Shouguo was a little puzzled. Why didn't his wife object again?
Lin Zhengran took the opportunity to remind his daughter, "Let's talk about the future later. The most urgent thing now is to continue your studies. Now with the reform and opening up, everyone is saying that knowledge can change your destiny.
I think the competition will be fierce in the future, so a diploma is very important, otherwise your career as a lieutenant will be over."
"That's not necessary. I'm here..." Qin Shouguo's next words were glared back at by his wife.
Lin Nanfeng smiled brightly, reached out through the window to hug her mother, and whispered sweetly in her ear, "Thank you for your understanding, Mom."
Lin Zhengran sighed and felt relieved.
She turned to Qin Shouguo and said softly, "Thank you, Dad, too. Thank you for your teachings over the years and for being our strongest support."
Qin Shouguo's eyes instantly turned red when he heard the sincere call of "Dad".
These days, Nanfeng also called him dad when he was drunk, but that was because he was seduced by him, so it doesn't count.
Today was an occasion like this, and he was addressed so formally, which made Qin Shouguo feel excited.
The train whirred and was about to leave. Qin Shouguo suddenly came to his senses and stretched out his hand impatiently, saying, "Nanfeng, call me again, who am I to you?"
"Dad, you are my dad."
Lin Nanfeng wanted to hug him. She approved of Qin Shouguo as a person and believed that Qin Shouguo was worthy of the title of "father".
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and the train drove away slowly.
God always seems to like to leave some regrets for people, so that everyone will have some thoughts in their hearts and look forward to reuniting next time.
Lin Nanfeng waved his hand and said loudly:
"Take care, Mom and Dad."
He added, "See you in Beijing."
"See you in Beijing?" Qin Shouguo said with jealousy, "Why didn't she say goodbye to Su Province?"
Lin Zhengran put his hand down and said unhappily, "My daughter already calls you dad, so just be generous and don't bother with me!"
Nanfeng called him dad!
Qin Shouguo turned his head and looked at his wife and she smiled. That smile was so bright, as if he had a small tail that he could shake to the sky.
"So happy?" Lin Zhengran asked puzzledly.
"Of course."
Qin Shouguo looked at the direction where the train was going away, then turned to her and said, "Let me tell you this, Nanfeng calling me dad makes me happier than winning a battle."
"I see."
After Lin Zhengran finished speaking, he looked at his watch.
She thought to herself: Soon Qin Shouguo would not be able to laugh anymore, because she was returning to Beijing at this time in the morning.
