Chapter 348 Taking the College Entrance Examination
Lin Chaoying didn't expect his mother to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously: "Mom, I can ignore my brothers and sisters when they grow up and can take care of themselves, but I can't ignore you. After all, I am the eldest son in the family."
"None of your business."
"I still want to go back to my hometown. How can you take care of me when I'm thousands of kilometers away? Your five brothers and sisters live nearby, so it's convenient for them to take care of me, and it doesn't cost much. So don't argue with me."
"Chaoying, call me more often in the future. When you have time, bring your wife back to see me. I will be satisfied."
Lin Chaoying felt warm and happy in her heart.
He has been supporting his family over the years and lived frugally before he got a job, but there were people who talked about him behind his back. After he started working, some people wanted to introduce him to a girl, but when they heard him talk about his family situation, they all backed off. Some even said that a foolish and filial man like him was not worth marrying. He never refuted and was willing to take care of his family, but he felt bad in his heart.
Fortunately, his family did not make him a joke.
"By the way, I was planning to give it to you before I left, but now that I've said it, I'll give it to you now."
Song Yin suddenly remembered something. As he spoke, he took out a thickly wrapped handkerchief from his trouser lining and stuffed it into Lin Chaoying's pocket: "Marriage is a big deal. You have helped the family over the years, so you must not have saved much money. Your brothers and sisters and I have collected some money. You can use it as a betrothal gift."
Lin Chaoying quickly refused: "I, I can't accept this. My family just paid off their foreign debt last year. Since they started working, they don't let me take care of this..."
"Oh, take it if I tell you to."
"This is a little gift from your brothers and sisters. You have always helped them in the past, and now they are able to repay you as their big brother. If you refuse to accept it, how can they feel at ease?"
"It's more appropriate for the mother to do this. Who wouldn't lend a hand when their son gets married?"
Lin Chaoying's eyes turned red, and she took it with trembling fingers: "Okay, I'll take it."
"That's right."
"Your brothers and sisters said that they can't come this time, but they must come when you get married."
Lin Chaoying smiled through her tears: "Okay."
…
Lin Su'e is here.
As they approached the state-owned restaurant, Shen Yue became visibly nervous.
To this.
Lin Su'e understood very well.
Everything was fine with her ex-boyfriend Jiang Yong before he met her parents, but he suddenly became a different person after meeting her parents. Although it was due to Jiang Yong's bad character, it was also due to Jiang Yong's mother.
but.
No matter how nervous you are, you have to face it.
Lin Su'e was observing and immediately spotted Lin Chaoying standing outside the gate of the state-owned hotel.
The middle-aged woman next to him with gray hair, weathered face and gentle temperament is probably his mother, Song Yin.
Beside.
Shen Yue also saw it.
opposite.
Lin Chaoying also noticed them, her eyes lit up, she tilted her head and said something to Song Yin, who looked at her with sharp eyes.
"Aunt Lin." Lin Chaoying took the initiative to greet: "Chen Yue."
Lin Su'e smiled and was about to speak.
As a result, without waiting for her to speak, Song Yin eagerly grabbed Shen Yue's hand, smiling extremely enthusiastically: "You are Xiao Shen, right? Good, good, good, so handsome, no wonder my son likes you so much, I just saw you for the first time, and I like you so much too!"
Shen Yue was at a loss.
"Aunt~"
Song Yin smiled and said, "Call me Auntie Song, right? I would like to ask you to call me mom, but it's too early."
She felt guilty towards her son over the years, and now that he finally had someone he liked, she naturally loved him as well.
Besides, Shen Yue is young and beautiful, has a good job, and has no family burden. Who wouldn’t like such a daughter-in-law?
Let’s get back to the topic.
Shen Yue's cheeks flushed when she heard her words.
Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows but didn't interrupt. The more Song Yin liked Chen Yue, the better.
Lin Chaoying looked at her mother helplessly, then looked at Shen Yue who was almost cooked, and coughed a few times to change the subject: "Mom, the sun is getting brighter outside, let's go into the store first."
As soon as these words came out, Song Yin nodded quickly.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"I was negligent, Xiaoyue, let's go in quickly. You have fair skin, don't get sunburned. I know you girls all love beauty."
Shen Yue nodded shyly.
But I thought to myself: As expected, Jiang Yong’s mother is a rare exception, and most of the target mothers are well-intentioned.
Song Yin also did not forget Lin Su'e, and smiled warmly and gratefully: "Matchmaker Lin, come in too."
"I'll leave my Chaoying in your care."
Lin Su'e smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Song, I will do my duty."
Song Yin: "Hahaha, okay."
“…”
The day ended in joy.
Song Yin treated Shen Yue more enthusiastically than his own son, and became close to her during the meal.
When leaving, both of them were reluctant to go.
Worth mentioning.
Song Yin is a considerate person and follows the rules in Pu County.
After arriving at the door, the engagement and marriage will be arranged.
Liu Hongmei's suggestion is to get engaged before the New Year and get married after the New Year, because they want to keep their daughter at home for another year.
That day.
Lin Su'e briefly mentioned this.
Song Yin had no objection, and tactfully said that he might not make another trip to get engaged, and would just go to the wedding time first.
To this.
Lin Su'e said she would talk to Liu Hongmei.
After they separated, Lin Su'e sent Shen Yue home and mentioned this to Liu Hongmei. Liu Hongmei also expressed her understanding and agreed.
Everything went smoothly.
Since the engagement meeting process was omitted and the wedding was to be next year, she felt completely relaxed.
That night.
After washing up.
She opened the red envelopes given by both sides, one side contained 20 yuan, a total of 40 yuan.
lottery.
I won 10 times, 400 yuan.
It's done.
She covered herself with the quilt and soon fell into a sweet dream.
…
Time flies.
It’s June 6th.
Today is the day of the college entrance examination.
Although there was no ban on noise in and around the college entrance examination halls like in later generations, the entire county consciously entered a state of silence.
The whole family became nervous.
However, no one dared to disturb Zhao Zhenyi, or even to ask him how he did in the exam.
that's all.
One song arrived on the afternoon of the 7th.
After the last English class, Lin Su'e was waiting at the school gate. When she saw him, she hurried over to greet him: "Are you tired? Mom made some delicious food to help you replenish your energy."
These two days, she didn't dare to cook anything oily or spicy, for fear that he would get an upset stomach and affect his performance in the exam.
"Not very tired."
Zhao Zhenyi is in good spirits and replied with a smile: "Mom, you don't have to work hard to cook for me. I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time. I want to eat hot pot tonight."
Lin Su'e agreed without hesitation: "Okay, no problem."
Then, seeing his relaxed expression, she cautiously probed: "Second brother, how did you do in this exam?"
Zhao Zhenyi smiled confidently: "I think it's okay."
Lin Su'e's face was filled with ecstasy: "Then are you sure..."
Zhao Zhenyi understood and touched his chin: "7 or 8 points, if it's about the same as last year."
