Chapter 1000 I Don't Recognize
Ling Yuan turned his head away, perhaps because he didn't want to argue, or perhaps because he couldn't find any words to refute, anyway, he didn't say anything else.
After walking a little further along the alley, Lin Xian suddenly said,
"arrive."
As he spoke, he raised his voice and called out "Mom".
"Hey! Why are you back just now? Is the factory busy today?"
"Aunt."
Lin's mother came out in response. Ling Yuan greeted her politely and hurriedly handed over the things in his hand.
When Lin's mother saw that it was him coming, she was overjoyed:
"You're here, but why are you carrying so many things? Come on, come inside and have some tea! You haven't eaten yet, have you? Eat here before you go back!"
The Lin family is frugal. They usually don't turn on the lights at home as long as a little dim light does not hinder their movements.
Ling Yuan came over, and Lin's mother pulled the light cord in the main room.
After asking Lin Xian to pour water for Ling Yuan, Lin's mother went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Ling Yuan put the things on the big table, and hurriedly pulled Lin's mother and said:
"Don't bother, Auntie. I just came to send Comrade Lin back, and I came over to tell you something..."
Ling Yuan spoke in a serious tone, which made the atmosphere serious.
Mother Lin turned to look at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian nodded and said:
"Mom, just listen to him!"
Lin Xian has been very concerned about this matter. Lin's mother thought it would be a good thing and a good result, so she looked at Ling Yuan again.
But Ling Yuan opened his mouth and said, "I'm not worthy of Lin Xian," and he didn't agree with the idea of dating.
Mother Lin was confused and asked hesitantly:
"So, why did you bring these things?"
"Comrade Lin is a good girl. She has been taking great care of me recently..."
Ling Yuan explained:
"This failure is my personal fault, and has nothing to do with her. I wasted a lot of her time, so consider these as my apology."
Although this is a polite remark, it is quite polite.
If others knew about this, at least they wouldn't be able to find fault with Lin Xian...
Mother Lin looked at the things on the table, then at Ling Yuan, and asked tentatively:
"Is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?"
Ling Yuan nodded firmly, and Lin's mother understood what he meant.
Lin's mother asked someone to find out about the Ling family's background. Although Ling Yuan was married for the second time, he was a really good person and had good conditions in all aspects.
It's a shame that this thing has fallen through, but as the saying goes:
A forced melon is not sweet.
If the cow doesn't want to drink water, can you force it to drink water by pressing its head?
"Forget it, forget it. Marriage is all about fate. If you don't like her, it's her fault for not being lucky enough. You can't blame her for anything."
Mother Lin sighed:
"We won't accept this thing, you can take it back later!"
Ling Yuan waved his hands quickly:
"Auntie, this won't do! I bumped into Comrade Lin before, and not coming to visit was already a step short of the mark. And these past few times, Comrade Lin has taken the initiative..."
Lin Xian was watching calmly from the side when she heard Ling Yuan was about to talk about her going to the Ling family.
Lin Xian appeared calm on the surface, but in fact her heart was already in turmoil.
She went to the Ling family on her own initiative, and her mother didn't know!
Lin Xian quickly interrupted Ling Yuan:
"Mom, he came all the way here to send it, so you should just accept it."
As she spoke, Lin Xian turned to look at Ling Yuan again:
"My family has accepted the gifts. It's only right to return the favor. Wouldn't it be unreasonable for you to stay for a meal?"
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although he felt that it was not necessary, he thought about it and nodded.
Seeing this, Lin's mother stopped pulling and hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
In the main room, Ling Yuan sat at the table, and Lin Xian stood outside of him, separated by a large square table.
The two were not far away, but neither of them spoke.
…
In the past two years, Lin Xian has earned a lot of money from work, and the Lin family's life has improved.
Although we can't always have meat at home, we have enough fine grains for three meals a day.
Lin's mother used to run a noodle stall and was good at rolling and cooking noodles.
Although there was no meat at home at the moment, Lin's mother quickly cooked a large pot of salty and fragrant noodles with plenty of oil using only the pickled snow vegetables she made herself.
Lin's mother filled a large bowl for Ling Yuan.
There were three people in the room, but Ling Yuan was the only one placing the bowls in front.
Ling Yuan had a hunch that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent and buried his head in his food.
He finished a bowl of noodles, pushed the bowl away and was about to stand up when Lin's mother took the bowl and said,
"Wait a minute, there's still some in the pot. I'll serve you some more! It's such a long journey, so you can eat your fill before going back. This way, you don't have to ask your parents to cook again."
Lin's mother served Ling Yuan another bowl of noodles.
A young boy can eat me out of money, let alone Ling Yuan who is a strong and sturdy young man?
Lin's mother made noodles with fine flour, which was considered the best.
Most people can’t even eat it if they want to.
When Lin Musheng came over, Ling Yuan felt embarrassed to refuse.
After finishing the second bowl of noodles, Lin's mother took the bowl and was about to get more, but Ling Yuan quickly stood up to stop her and said:
"Auntie, I'm full. I can't eat any more!"
Lin's mother had no choice but to give up.
Now that things have come to this, and the conversation has reached this point, the relationship between the two families has been clarified.
After a few more brief chats, Ling Yuan stood up to say goodbye. Lin Xian stood in the courtyard and watched for a while, listening to the sound of bicycle wheels in the alley gradually becoming smaller. Lin Xian pursed her lips and said:
"Mom, I'll go see him off!"
After saying that, Lin Xian ran out of the yard.
Lin's mother stood in the house and sighed, looking at the large bowl on the big table with no soup left, feeling a little emotional.
Being able to eat means you have a strong body.
But why doesn't such a good guy like their Lin Xian?
The girls in their family are not bad either...
…
"Ling Yuan!"
The alleys were narrow, and Lingyuan pushed his bicycle out.
Lin Xian ran out of the yard and came to Ling Yuan, stopping him directly.
Ling Yuan slowly turned his head to look at her. She panted slightly and said:
"I'll take you there."
"Need not."
Ling Yuan shook his head and refused:
"I went out for a bike ride and left directly."
Lin Xian also shook her head, and after a while she lowered her brow slightly and said stubbornly:
"I'll take you there. I happen to have something to tell you."
Ling Yuan was speechless for a moment.
The two of them walked out of the alley together.
On the side of the dusty road, Lin Xian stood in the shadow of a tree under the streetlight. She was silent for a while before she spoke:
"Have you really never considered me at all?"
Ling Yuan didn't say anything.
Lin Xian lowered her head and looked at the tip of his shoes through the wheel of the bicycle.
Even now, Lin Xian has never thought of giving up.
After a long pause, she spoke again:
"I've learned all about your situation. I know you're not wrong. You just haven't met the right person. I can't say you're right to choose me, but I..."
Lin Xian wanted to express her feelings and attitude, but due to the times, she couldn't say more straightforward and explicit words.
"You brought so many things with you. By now, everyone in the alley must have heard that you're my girlfriend..."
Lin Xian took a deep breath and moved back while changing the subject:
"Anyway, I don't agree with what you just said!"
