Chapter 70 Chapter 70 That night, Jin Man came over...
That night, Jin Man tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.
He is easily influenced and soft-hearted, and he knows that these are his shortcomings, but he is suspicious and distrustful of Lu Yanlin's feelings. You can say that he is timid and cowardly, but anyone who is stabbed in the heart without warning will inevitably be traumatized.
The future is long. What if Lu Yanlin suddenly regrets his decision? What if he meets someone like the pianist and thinks he is better? What should Jin Man do?
Who will guarantee that there will be no changes in the future?
Jin Man felt a strong sense of sadness, sadness that the impulses of youth dissipated like smoke.
He no longer craves for affection, he wants long-lasting companionship, even if there is no love.
But in his heart, Lu Yanlin is not someone he can stay with forever.
The two are incompatible from head to toe and have nothing in common. No matter how hard they try, they will not be able to go to the end.
Reality.
These two big, naked characters weighed on Jin Man like a mountain.
Roses, love, and sweet words are of course good, so good that they make people's hearts beat faster.
All the beautiful feelings in the world are like this, intoxicating.
But after that moment of numbness, you still have to face the reality of life. You have to worry about what to eat for breakfast in the morning, whether to take medicine or go to the hospital when you are sick, and you have to comfort your child when he cries or is hungry. When he grows up, works, studies, and gets married, you have to save money for him.
From the moment he decided to raise Duoduo, his life was not just for himself.
Parents who love their children plan for the long term. The Lu family wasn't a good choice. Even an adult like him couldn't handle it, let alone a child who was only five years old. In Jin Man's heart, his child's healthy and happy growth was always the core of his consideration.
He rubbed Duoduo's sleeping face and made up his mind that it would be best to delete those text messages.
After the surveying work was completed, the village chief called everyone to a meeting and announced the measured land of each household at the meeting.
Jin Man's parents and relatives left behind a large hillside, and based on the fruit yield of a single tree, their income was very good.
According to government plans, these villages will develop into demonstration areas for distinctive industries, serving as models for prosperity throughout the province. Once the economy develops, supporting factories, hospitals, and schools will be built. With roads open, people will prosper. Liuhe Town's future is truly transformed.
Jin Man's heart was filled with emotion after hearing this. There is no one who does not hope that his hometown will get better and better. If it were not for the pressure of life, who would be willing to leave his hometown and work outside?
The young people present clapped their hands until they were sore, and the village arranged the tasks very smoothly.
Jin Man was busy all morning and his stomach was rumbling. He realized it was almost one o'clock, so he hurried home to cook.
"A lot."
The little kid squatted on the ground feeding the chickens, his big eyes lit up in surprise: "Manman! You're back!"
Jin Man picked him up and kissed him: "You must be hungry. I'll cook."
Duoduo is usually hungry, but today he was unusually well-behaved. He didn't show any sign of being hungry and was tugging at his sleeves feeling a little guilty.
Jin Man narrowed his eyes, held up two fingers, and winked at Duoduo ingratiatingly. He snorted, found a large grain of rice on the child's cheek, and then went back into the house. On the table sat a white food box, with a half-eaten piece of braised pork next to it.
Duoduo raised his hands in surrender and said nervously: "I'm sorry, Manman, it was Uncle Lu who sent it. I was so hungry that I ate a little bit, just a little bit. Don't be angry, Manman."
Jin Man opened the lunch box, which was filled with the dishes that he and Duoduo liked to eat, as well as two cans of soup for dispelling cold and replenishing qi, served in white porcelain cups with a faint fragrance, and accompanied by seasonal pre-meal fruits and after-meal snacks.
There is a silver thermos next to the food box, which contains a folded hot towel with a faint bitter medicinal smell. You can take it out and use it.
The weather is cold in winter and boiling water is slow. Jin Man often washes his hands and face with cold water. He does not take frostbite seriously and thinks it is troublesome to apply medicine. In fact, if you are willing, applying hot compress with a towel can relieve a lot of relief.
He didn't know when Lu Yanlin noticed it.
I have to say that if Lu Yanlin really wants to be good to someone, he can indeed take care of every detail, making the person impeccable from the inside out.
Jin Man was silent for a long time. He sighed and tugged at the child's ear: "Jin Buhuan, what did I usually tell you?"
Duoduo pulled his ears and sat awkwardly on his arm, trying hard to recall: "Don't talk to strangers, don't eat things given by others, don't play by the river..."
Jin Man said: "Don't accept things from that uncle next time."
Duoduo was scolded and felt wronged: "Okay, I remember."
There was still something to do in the afternoon, so Jin Man didn't waste any time. He took out the food in the lunch box and ate it with Duoduo.
It was almost dark when he got off work in the evening. After hauling goods all day, it was impossible for him not to be tired. He hurried on the way home, but still couldn't get home before seven o'clock. It was unrealistic to cook at this time. After hesitating for a long time, Jin Man went to a small supermarket to buy two boxes of instant noodles.
He felt very sorry for Duoduo, who scolded him in the morning and left the child at home in the evening.
The problems of a single Alpha taking care of children are fully exposed when he is busy with work. He cannot stay with his children all day, and he cannot even provide them with three basic meals on time.
It’s not impossible to ask Zhou Yu for help, but he feels bad about always troubling others.
Jin Man returned home in a tangled mood. The lights were on in the yard and the sound of cartoons was coming from the TV.
Jin Man pushed open the door to the yard, and in addition to Duoduo's voice, there was someone else in the house.
As if to verify his guess, the next second, the door opened from the inside, revealing Lu Yanlin's suave face. He was surprised to see Jin Man, but the next second he smiled slightly: "You're back."
Jin Man pointed at him, muttered "you, you, you" for a long time, and gritted his teeth: "Don't you have anything to do?"
Lu Yanlin stepped aside. Besides Duoduo, Lu Zhi was also in the room. Each child wore an apron and sat around the kotatsu. On the table lay dough, a rolling pin, and a few haphazardly formed dumplings.
When Duoduo saw him, he threw away the dough and ran over happily. He grabbed his trouser leg and tilted his round face up: "Manman, I can make dumplings now. I will cook for you in the future. Manman, are you tired? I'll make you some tea."
Jin Man was in a trance for a moment. Lu Yanlin waved to Lu Zhizhao, and the icy-faced kid came running over and said cautiously:
"Dad, Happy New Year, I wish you good health."
Jin Man completely forgot about this day and was planning to take his children to eat instant noodles tonight.
He almost vomited blood in his heart. He glared at Lu Yanlin, pushed his shoulders away, picked up one in each hand, and strode in.
Jin Man knew very well in his mind that nothing was more important than living a good life in the present. The children were so looking forward to it, why should he spoil their fun?
Lu Yanlin's feet were still a little unnatural when she walked. She followed him, closed the door, and kept the heat in the room. Then she put on her apron and said calmly, "The dumplings are ready. They will be ready soon. I'll go check. Manman, Lu Zhi, and Duoduo haven't washed their hands yet. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Oh, hot water..."
Jin Man grabbed his gloves and threw them at him, rolling his eyes ungraciously. Two gray cement marks appeared on Lu Yanlin's clothes. He pursed his lips and smiled faintly. His indifferent and deep eyes, filled with the light, also showed a touch of gentleness. He lowered his head, opened the door, and walked out.
Everyone was very full at that meal.
Jin Man did not have a cold face throughout the whole process and spent the New Year's Day in a lively manner. At 11 o'clock, he took two children out to set off fireworks.
Lu Yanlin said softly: "Manman, happy New Year's Day."
Jin Man, wearing a red scarf, stood up on her knees and turned to look at him. That look was cold, without any warmth or tenderness, only disgust and boredom: "It's almost time, you should go back."
Lu Yanlin's smile seemed a little stiff.
Beautiful feelings are certainly worth cherishing and are very precious, but what if they are sugar-coated bullets?
Jin Man felt conflicted and miserable. Facing Lu Yanlin, he felt both exasperated and powerless.
His rank was too low, and he couldn't defeat Lu Yanlin, who had thousands of tricks.
He looked at everything Lu Yanlin did with an almost cold mindset, otherwise he would not be able to calm down. Jin Man was afraid that he would be eroded and moved, and fall deeper into Lu Yanlin's superb methods. Who could pull him out then?
Jin Man had a deep sense of crisis. He was no longer interested in blind dates and thought he could take it easy.
He added all the people that the aunt introduced to him seriously and met and chatted with them honestly.
As long as you meet enough people, you will definitely meet the right person.
Duoduo shamelessly sent the child to Zhou Yu's house to have dinner with his uncle, and then went to pick him up after he got off work.
In short, we must defend ourselves tightly and leave no space for the enemy.
The Omega he was going on a blind date with asked him to meet at a cafe in town. He took some time to dress up to look less rough and went out to the agreed place early.
Jin Man was a little thirsty, so he ordered a drink and was typing away on his phone while replying to a message from his blind date. Suddenly, he noticed someone sitting opposite him. He looked up and almost spit out the coffee in his mouth.
Lu Yanlin, wearing a well-fitting shirt, sat opposite him with a sparkling look. His handsome and indifferent face was naturally beautiful, which was out of place with the simple decoration.
Jin Man had the urge to pour coffee on his head. The veins on his forehead bulged: "Get up."
"Why?"
Jin Man lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "This is the seat I agreed to sit at."
Lu Yanlin glanced at him lightly: "Blind date?"
"None of your business."
Lu Yanlin ordered a cup of coffee and coughed slightly: "Don't wait, I'm here."
A row of cawing black crows flew across Jin Man’s head.
"Manman, I don't mean to play tricks on you. In principle, we are both single and we both want to find someone to spend our lives with. So, could you please consider me?"
"Maybe in the next life."
Jin Man's face darkened. He picked up the keys on the table and left.
