Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Chen Weilan has found a partner.

"Mom, what are we having for lunch?" Lin Beibei put down the basketball. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was very tall and already 1.65 meters tall. He put down the basketball and went to his mother's side. He touched his stomach and said he was hungry.

Jiang Qiuyue said she wanted to eat cold noodles. "Your father won't be home today, so let's just eat something."

She had already made the face mask and got up to take the children into the house. Suddenly she discovered that one of her daughter's hairpins was missing and asked what happened.

"It was Bai Hongchang next door, he was so mean, he pulled Nannan's braids when he saw her." Lin Beibei said, "But don't worry, Nannan beat Bai Hongchang up before I could do anything."

As he spoke, he went back to his room and changed into a short-sleeved shirt. It was too hot and he was sweating after playing basketball.

Jiang Qiuyue went to see her daughter, "Do you want mom to go to the next door to help you scold?"

Lin Nannan was a little confused. "It doesn't hurt when he pulls. He only pulls when I ignore him. It's very annoying. He's so ugly and has a bad mouth. I don't like playing with him."

But she also felt that it was unnecessary for her mother to go there specially. "Forget it. I have already scared him. If he continues to be shameless and pester me, I will let Dad beat him."

Jiang Qiuyue thought that if Lin Zhengrong took action, Bai Hongchang would be unable to get out of bed for at least three days, but since her daughter said so, she would listen to her.

Eating cold noodles is the most comfortable thing in summer. Jiang Qiuyue added cucumber shreds. In recent years, everyone's conditions have improved a little. Her family eats white noodles every day and does not need to eat sweet potato porridge often.

But sometimes she would want to eat sweet potato porridge. In the summer, she would cook a pot of it in advance and eat it cold at noon and in the evening.

Lin Beibei ate very quickly. He ate as much as the other two people. "Mom, I want to eat watermelon too!"

"It's in the kitchen, cut it yourself." Jiang Qiuyue touched her belly after eating, and said, "I have prepared all the things you want to take to high school. New sheets, quilts, and pillows, I will make them for you in winter. Just take them out to dry in the sun two days before you leave."

"Also, grandma and the others said they missed you. I'll take you to see them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Where's my dad? Will he go with us?" Lin Beibei asked.

Jiang Qiuyue shook her head, "He is busy. He wants to save his vacation to send you to high school."

Lin Zhengrong is busier than before, so he has to plan his vacation time carefully.

Lin Beibei felt it was a bit of a pity, but he was still happy to be able to go to his grandparents' house. "It would be great if Brother Weiguo was here. Why didn't he join the army later?"

Chen Weiguo had just joined the troops last month and missed them, but Jiang Qiuyue and his group also went there last month, and Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan even stayed at Gao's house for half a month.

When Lin Zhengrong came back in the evening, Jiang Qiuyue asked about the merger of the family compound, "Do you know where we're moving to?"

"It has not been confirmed yet, but it is still being planned." Lin Zhengrong said, "It is confirmed that they will merge, but we are not sure where they will move to. But it will be soon, and we will know in the next few days."

Lin Zhengrong had just finished a shower and was only wearing a pair of shorts. After so many years, his muscles were still firm. He sat next to Jiang Qiuyue. When they were alone, he became very clingy and rubbed his head against her. "Do you want to move out, or continue to live here?"

"Of course I live here. I have spent so much time and effort to manage this small courtyard for so many years, and I don't want it to be taken advantage of by others." Jiang Qiuyue said truthfully.

She planted a loquat tree next to the chicken coop, which can provide shade for the chickens in summer and also provide loquats for them to eat. The loquats started growing last year, and this year will definitely be a bumper harvest, so she was reluctant to move away.

Lin Zhengrong was also used to living here. "Wait, Political Commissar Wang said it's only a few days. Let's go to sleep first."

He turned off the lights, skillfully put his big hands around Jiang Qiuyue's slender waist, and moved closer to her.

Thinking that she would be staying at her mother-in-law's house for several days, Jiang Qiuyue cooperated with Lin Zhengrong and took off her clothes.

After a night of love, Jiang Qiuyue got up late. By the time she brought the children to Gao's house, it was already time for dinner.

Sun Fengying was used to this. She took the things from the two children and boasted, "How come you two have grown taller in just one month?"

"Really?" Lin Beibei immediately went to stand on the wall of the living room. Every time they came, grandma would measure their heights. "Grandma, look quickly, how much taller have I grown?"

Sun Fengying pulled her granddaughter over and measured their heights. "Yeah, you've both grown a little bit. I fried some pork ribs today, so you should eat more later."

Seeing the children, she was delighted. "I'll go to the kitchen to serve the dishes first. You guys go and clean up."

Jiang Qiuyue went back to her room to put down her things. When she reached the kitchen, her mother-in-law suddenly whispered, "Wei Lan has found someone." She looked back and said, "But her mother doesn't agree. The atmosphere at home has been very cold these days. I'm going to be honest with you first, so you don't get scared later."

"The boy's conditions are not good, so I don't agree?" Jiang Qiuyue also watched Chen Weilan grow up. The little girl is only eighteen years old. This is the first time she heard that Chen Weilan is dating. She was curious, but also worried.

"They are all from the same family compound, so their conditions are not bad." Sun Fengying sighed, "It's just that the boy has dated many girls, and everyone in the family compound said he was a playboy. But Wei Lan was so obsessed with him that she came home and said she wanted to get married after only dating for a month."

Speaking of this, Sun Fengying became worried. Her granddaughter was usually very obedient, but in this matter, she refused to listen to anything her family said.

"How many did you talk about?" Jiang Qiuyue saw her mother-in-law holding up three fingers. She felt that three was not a lot, but it was indeed a lot in this era. "Have you seen it?"

Sun Fengying said she hadn't come home. "Your sister didn't let Wei Lan bring him home, but we all know each other. I used to think Cheng Fang was a good talker and he looked okay. I just sighed when I saw him taking advantage of other people's houses, but I didn't expect it would be my turn. I'm not familiar with him."

Recently, the Cheng family became very enthusiastic when they saw her, but she was not so happy to see the Cheng family and greeted them perfunctorily.

When children grow up, they always have a partner, but it is not clear who they are talking to that makes parents anxious.

As a person who has experienced this, Gao Juanjuan thinks Cheng Fang is lazy and lazy. He doesn't go to the countryside or join the army. He has been idle at home for two years. She doesn't like Cheng Fang at all. In addition, Cheng Fang has dated three people, but none of them worked out. This makes people think that he is not very reliable.

When Jiang Qiuyue was helping to carry the dishes out, Gao Juanjuan and her daughter came back one after another. The two had just had an argument yesterday and were not talking to each other at the moment.

Lin Beibei didn't understand what was going on. After sitting down, she took the initiative to ask, "Sister Wei Lan, what's wrong with you today? You don't look very happy?"

Although his identity has changed, he is still used to the previous title and has never changed it.

Chen Weilan said it was nothing and lowered her head to eat.

Gao Juanjuan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Don't give him the cold shoulder when your cousin talks to you. He doesn't owe you anything."

"If I'm in a bad mood, should I force myself to smile?" Chen Weilan also had an argument with Cheng Fang today. She originally wanted to complain to Cheng Fang that her mother didn't understand her, but Cheng Fang didn't listen seriously.

Thinking of this, she shed tears, got up and went back to her room.

Gao Juanjuan was overwhelmed and had lost her appetite. She held her forehead and said, "I'm an experienced person. Am I not more accurate than her in judging people?"

Chen Zhong said, "You are doing this for her own good, but she is young and has never experienced love. She thinks she is in love with you, so how can she listen to you when she is in love?"

"Then what do you say we should do? I get angry when I think of Cheng Fang. Do you want to marry your daughter to that kind of person?" Gao Juanjuan raised her voice and noticed that her sister-in-law was looking at her. She had no appetite and got up and went upstairs.

It was the first time for Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan to see their aunt and others quarreling. They were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

"Eat your own food, it's none of your business." Jiang Qiuyue also stood up, "Nannan, you can bring food to your cousin later. It will be easier for you two sisters to talk. Let her eat first."

She went to look for Gao Juanjuan. After knocking on the door and entering, she saw Gao Juanjuan wiping her tears. She sighed and said, "Sister, actually my brother-in-law is right. Wei Lan has never been in a relationship before, so it's inevitable that she gets carried away easily. You know, a couple in love wouldn't listen to what others say."

"Then what do you think I should do?" Gao Juanjuan pulled Jiang Qiuyue to sit down.

Jiang Qiuyue asked, "Is Cheng Fang really not capable of this?"

"He's good-looking and good at making people happy, but he's useless. I don't want my daughter to marry someone too powerful, but you know Cheng Fang, right? Two years ago, he broke his leg on purpose in order to avoid going to the countryside."

At that time, this matter caused a lot of uproar in the family compound. Cheng's military quota was given to his brother. Cheng Fang wanted to join the army based on his own ability, but he just didn't want to take the exam. Gao Juanjuan kept sighing, "He is not a person who will settle down. He is just looking for a partner for fun. He is not a good person."

"He is so cruel to himself." Jiang Qiuyue felt pain just thinking about it, but Cheng Fang was able to do it.

She had no impression of Cheng Fang, but she knew that the more times like this, the more she should not be too tough. "You can't confront Wei Lan head-on. She is now immersed in it and won't listen to your words of persuasion. In her eyes, Cheng Fang is good in every way. You should let it go. If Cheng Fang is really not a good person, you have to let Wei Lan see that side of him so that she can persuade her to back off."

Gao Juanjuan is now confused by the situation. "Can you be more specific? I don't understand."

"You said Cheng Fang was just talking for fun, so you can talk to Wei Lan and say you'll consider it. This will also ease the relationship between you and your daughter. Then go find Cheng Fang and put pressure on him to get married. Men want face, a house, a job, and the expenses after marriage. Ask Cheng Fang what his plans are."

Jiang Qiuyue said, "If he doesn't want to marry Wei Lan, he will feel a lot of pressure. If he wants to get married but still refuses to find a job, you can ask him if he is ready to let a woman support him. If he is willing to marry, then consider it."

Gao Juanjuan suddenly realized, "I understand now. I was holding back my anger before, and when I saw Wei Lan, I wanted to question what was in her head. I was too impatient, and sometimes I could get rebellious. When Wei Lan did something impulsively, it was too late for her to regret."

"But what if Cheng Fang is willing to take on the responsibility of supporting the family?"

"Then it depends on what he does." Jiang Qiuyue continued to analyze, "Anyway, Weilan is young, and you said you wanted to test Chengfang. If Chengfang can satisfy you, you will agree to their relationship. Weilan is actually a very good girl, and she definitely hopes that you and your brother-in-law will bless her. As for Chengfang, time is the most testing thing. You can always tell whether he is sincere in marrying Weilan."

In another room, Chen Weilan was crying to Lin Nannan who had just come in, "Nannan, why doesn't mom understand me? She doesn't even understand Cheng Fang, how can she judge whether Cheng Fang is good or not based on what others say?"

"Is my aunt's nitpicking groundless?" Lin Nannan just learned some information from her grandmother.

This question left Chen Weilan stunned. Her mother said that she had many boyfriends and did not have a proper job, which was all true.

"Cousin, if you don't say anything, then it's true. If it's true, aunt will naturally be dissatisfied."

Lin Nannan has always been a very calm person. She doesn't talk much, unlike Lin Beibei who is always chattering, but she always sees things very clearly. "Since you think Cheng Fang is good in every way, why can't you convince your aunt? Cheng Fang really likes you, and he should be willing to make changes for you. After all, finding a job is a good thing. It's not that your aunt is deliberately finding fault. What do you think?"

"But...but Cheng Fang said that his parents were partial and gave the military service quota to his brother. He couldn't get over this and wanted to stay at home." Chen Weilan explained for Cheng Fang.

"That's just him being immature."

Lin Nannan said, "His brother is older, so it's understandable that he should go to the army first. But Cheng Fang is not unable to serve in the army anymore. He can still serve in the army with his own ability. Besides, has his family compensated him?"

"The quota was given to his brother. Did his family offer him any other compensation?"

Chen Weilan thought for a moment and said, "It seems like there is. They said they would find him a job."

"Then this is not partiality. His family still cares about him. He is just trying to be more aggressive. Thinking wise, this man is immature. Auntie is an experienced person. She is thinking about how you two will live together in the future. Is she going to rely on your salary? Then Chengfang will go home every month to ask for money because he feels unbalanced?"

Lin Nannan was more direct in her words. She often listened to her mother chatting with Aunt Shuangshuang and the others. She felt that her mother was a very clear-headed person. She thought that it was most important to understand one's own preferences and not be blinded by other people's sweet words.

Chen Weilan's family didn't need to pay for her living expenses, she spent all her salary on herself. She had just started dating Cheng Fang and was only thinking about being together forever, and hadn't thought about how they would spend their money in the future.

Cheng Fang is recognized as a handsome man in the family compound. Such a good-looking guy asked her what her name was when they met for the first time. She was secretly happy in her heart, which showed that she was good-looking and that was why she attracted Cheng Fang's attention.

Later, Cheng Fang often came to see her. She listened to what others said about Cheng Fang being a playboy. She did not like Cheng Fang immediately until Cheng Fang helped her get rid of a few whistlers. Then she felt that Cheng Fang was not that bad. Maybe the love Cheng Fang had met before was not true love.

Chen Weilan frowned and thought. When facing her mother, she only wanted to argue with her mother, but when talking to Lin Nannan, she calmed down and discovered some problems.

"Cousin, if Cheng Fang really wants to marry you, he will definitely make efforts for you."

Lin Nannan held Chen Weilan's hand and said, "Auntie is still very important to you, right?"

"Of course!" Chen Weilan blurted out. She was not ignorant. She remembered all the kindness her family had shown her.

She just didn't understand why her mother wouldn't give Cheng Fang a chance.

"Then you should apologize to your aunt and have a good talk with her. As for Cheng Fang, you don't have to rush to marry him. If your love is stronger than gold, wouldn't it be better to wait a little longer until your aunt and the others accept it?" Lin Nannan patted her cousin's hand. She seldom talked so much and her mouth was tired. "Go eat, otherwise grandma and the others will worry about you."

She pulled her cousin out of the room. Grandma had left some food in the kitchen.

Sun Fengying said nothing. Seeing her daughter coming downstairs, she asked her to eat as well. "People are made of iron, and food is made of steel. Eat your fill and then talk. Stop looking so stern."

"I got it, Mom." When she arrived in the kitchen, she saw her daughter eating. She moved her thin lips, and they both said sorry in unison.

Gao Juanjuan was surprised by her daughter's change. Her daughter, who had been very stubborn during this period, actually said sorry to her. She hugged her daughter and said, "Your aunt is right. I only saw what I thought was bad. I should give you a chance to prove yourself."

"It's my fault too. I shouldn't have spoken to you so bluntly. I just think that you should understand Cheng Fang first." Chen Weilan said.

"Okay, let's talk nicely next time." Gao Juanjuan also shed a tear.

The mother and daughter were showing deep affection in the kitchen. Jiang Qiuyue took a look and asked Nan Nan in a low voice what she had said.

"I just analyzed the facts. I'm so tired. I'm going to read a book." Lin Nannan just got a banned book and couldn't wait to read it.

Watching her daughter return to her room, Jiang Qiuyue sighed. Who does this girl look like? How could she love reading so much?

She doesn't like reading anyway, unless it's novels or storytelling. There are not many interesting books to read in this day and age.

Of course, Jiang Qiuyue didn't know that her child had grown up and had her own abilities, and would get books that were beyond her understanding.

The next morning, Gao Juanjuan and Chen Weilan went to work hand in hand. Seeing that their mother-daughter relationship had improved, Chen Zhong was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Before he left, he specially thanked Jiang Qiuyue and Lin Nannan, "Thank you so much. They have been quarreling during this period, and I feel really uncomfortable being caught in the middle. I won't say more. When I get off work later, I will buy some watermelons and candy men."

Lin Beibei happily said yes, "Thank you, uncle, I'll take you out!"

Jiang Qiuyue and her mother-in-law made cold noodles. People don’t like hot food in summer, so after they made the cold noodles, Sun Fengying took them to the neighbors to try.

After the recognition, Jiang Qiuyue often came over to cook, and the neighbors all knew that the Gao family had a daughter-in-law who was an excellent cook.

As soon as Sun Fengying left, a figure appeared at the door. He stared at the Gao family's door but did not go in.

It was not until Sun Fengying came back and saw Hu Runze's face flushed from the sun that she asked him why he didn't go in that he said, "Nannan thinks I'm annoying." He obviously didn't say anything, just looked at Nannan, but Nannan still asked him not to stay with her.

Thinking of her quiet granddaughter, Sun Fengying knew that she didn't like playing with these boys. "Then don't play with her. She likes reading and will be disturbed if there are people around. You can go play with Beibei. Grandma made some jelly. Can I bring you a bowl?"

"No need, Grandma Sun. I'm not a child anymore. I'm not that greedy." Hu Runze had no expression on his face. "I won't play with Lin Beibei either. He's too noisy."

Having said that, he turned and left.

However, Hu Runze still got to eat Gao's family's jelly because Sun Fengying sent it to his home.

Seeing Sun Zi's dark face, Meng Yun sighed and said, "Lin Nannan doesn't want to play with you again?"

"No, she wants to read a book and I don't want to disturb her. She will be free after she finishes reading." Hu Runze finished eating the jelly and wiped his mouth slowly.

"Come on, every time you go there, she says she's reading a book. She just doesn't want to play with you. Why do you have to play with her?"

Meng Yun never understood this. Lin Nannan was pretty, but her grandson was still young. Children of eight or nine years old didn't know what premature love was. She also liked Lin Nannan, who was pretty, quiet, and had good grades, but what was the point if she ignored her grandson?

Meng Yun's son and daughter-in-law died, leaving her with only this grandson. She doted on him like a baby. He was a little naughty when he was young, but he is no longer a troublemaker now.

"Grandma, Nannan is like this to everyone, not just me." Hu Runze didn't think that Lin Nannan didn't like him, it was just that they didn't spend enough time together. The last time he heard Chen Weiguo mention that there was a man named Tang Hai who was pretty good with Lin Nannan, he was really angry and even wanted to move.

Meng Yun felt a tightness in her chest. Okay, who made the girl so likable? It was her grandson who was stupid and couldn't see clearly.

But she still had to remind them, "You are grown up now. It's fine if you like Lin Nannan or just want to be friends with her, but remember, you are not allowed to bully others or force others to be friends with you. Hey, where are you going?"

Before Meng Yun could finish her words, Hu Runze went upstairs. After a while, he came out with a few books and ran to Gao's house.

"Grandma Sun, give these books to Nannan." Hu Runze placed the books on the coffee table in the Gao family's living room. There were encyclopedias and some industrial books.

Sun Fengying took a look and felt intuitively that her granddaughter would not like it, but she still went to ask her opinion.

Lin Nannan was reading with great interest. When she heard that they were all industrial books, she lost interest and said, "Let him take them back. I don't like those books."

Sun Fengying went to the living room and relayed her granddaughter's words. Hu Runze immediately asked, "What kind of books does she like?"

Jiang Qiuyue was also a little curious about this, because Lin Nannan had been reading in her room recently, and every time she came back from going out, she would not talk about the contents of the book.

She went to her daughter's room and saw her daughter hiding the book behind her body in panic. She knew something was wrong. "Nannan, mom is not a feudal and old-fashioned person. Are you reading a novel?"

"Mom, aren't you going to scold me?" Lin Nannan looked at her mother cautiously.

"How could that be?" Jiang Qiuyue thought to herself that she had read a lot of miscellaneous books, such as those about female supremacy and the literature about the sister-in-law who is admired by everyone. She didn't know how many she had read before she traveled through time. It's because people read less nowadays.

But Lin Nannan was nervous. The more curious she was, the more she thought about it. She couldn't just read some pornographic books, right?

Probably not, Nan Nan is still young, Jiang Qiuyue repeated to herself in her heart.

Lin Nannan confirmed again, "Really not?"

"Of course, do you think I'm such a rigid and rule-abiding person? Don't I often go to the black market to buy meat?" Jiang Qiuyue said, still feeling a little uneasy, until Lin Nannan took out the book and saw that it was a foreign classic, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, "Where did you get this book? Forget it, I won't ask so carefully, but you have to answer me, is it safe?"

"It must be safe!" Lin Nannan said.

"Okay, you can watch it then." Jiang Qiuyue was thinking that she would go back and ask around. It would be a bad idea to let her daughter betray her friend right now. "But you can only watch it at home. You can't bring it to school or to other people's homes. Otherwise, there will be trouble."

Lin Nannan said she understood, "I've always remembered it, don't worry, mom, I didn't even tell Beibei."

While the mother and daughter were talking, Sun Fengying knocked on the door again and said that Hu Runze had brought another batch of books. Lin Nannan simply went to the living room and directly refused, "Hu Runze, it's so hot, don't move around anymore. I don't need your books, don't come again."

She thought that since she said it so directly, Hu Runze would definitely understand what she meant.

But what Lin Nannan didn't expect was that Hu Runze suddenly blushed, "Are you concerned about me?"

It doesn't matter if the weather is hot, he is not afraid of the heat. And he is very strong, so he doesn't feel tired at all carrying these few books.

Lin Nannan: …
