Chapter 2 Self-recommendation - The daily life of the sickly young lady eating melons in the courtyard

After dinner, Lin's mother took her daughter back to her and Lin's father's room.

"Nannan! Why are you so silly? This is the person I specially picked for you, how could you give him up so easily?" Mother Lin's brows were filled with worry.

"Mom, I think Xiao Shu really likes the blind date you introduced to her. Since she wants him, just give him to her. Can't you just introduce me to a better one?" Lin Qing said to her coquettishly.

"You!" Lin's mother simply couldn't resist the young lady's coquettishness towards her.

"Alas, the policy on going to the countryside is becoming more and more stringent. How can you find a job in the countryside with your condition? I have carefully selected a good partner for you, but she still wants to snatch him away. Oh, forget it, I will look for another one for you!"

Lin Qing held his mother's arm and listened to her mumbling, feeling very satisfied.

She vaguely recalled the nightmare she had last night. She had never even seen this man this time. The same thing as in the dream shouldn't happen again, right?

Unfortunately, she still overestimated Lin Shu.

She was supposed to go on a blind date the next day, but now she was sitting at home with nothing to do, reading the comic books she had saved up money to buy.

“Boom boom boom!”

Eh? Who's knocking on the door? Everyone's out, why is someone knocking on the door?

"Who is it?" Lin Qing did not open the door immediately, but asked through the door.

"Aunt, it's me, open the door!" Lin Shu's voice came from outside the door.

"Xiao Shu? You are not..." Lin Qing opened the door and was about to speak, but he was immediately stopped when he saw two people at the door.

"Aunt, I brought Jiang Yang here to meet the elders." Lin Shu said happily.

Lin Qing looked at the couple in front of him and tried to force a smile, but it was a little forced and awkward. "I'm the only one at home. If you want to meet the elders, find another time!"

Unfortunately, Lin Shu was playing dumb, "Aunt, aunt, aren't you the elder?"

"Hehe!" Lin Qing was a little embarrassed, and his already sickly face turned even paler.

Jiang Yang's eyes lit up when the door opened just now. The woman in front of him had a delicate face, more beautiful than the one he had just talked to. However, no matter how beautiful her face was, it could not match the sickly color on her face. The surprise in his eyes turned into disgust in an instant.

Whenever he thought about the girl that the matchmaker was going to introduce him to, he felt unhappy.

He is a fourth-level clamper in a machinery factory, with a basic salary of 51 yuan per month. If he marries this sickly girl, the family expenses will definitely increase a lot, and he will have to raise a child on top of that. How can he afford it?

Lin Qing saw the disdain in his eyes, but he was her niece's boyfriend now, so she couldn't just say anything.

Just when Lin Qing was at a loss as to what to do, his savior arrived.

Lin Qing caught a glimpse of her mother who had just walked into the corridor from the stairs, and her eyes lit up, "Mom, Xiao Shu is here with her boyfriend!"

As soon as Lin's mother entered the corridor, she saw Lin Shu, who was blocking the door of her house with some people. She thought something had happened and hurried over.

As soon as I heard the young lady's cry for help, I knew that this granddaughter was up to no good again.

"Xiao Shu, what are you doing?"

"Grandma, I'm bringing my partner back to meet the elders!"

"Meet the elders? When we're not around?"

"No way! I don't know. I thought you were all at home!"

"Okay, let him go back first, and find a time next time when everyone is at home, and then come to meet the elders." Lin's mother's meaning was clear, but why didn't she know how to be polite and didn't even bother to ask before meeting the elders.

Lin Shu was a little unhappy, but the purpose of bringing people here today had been achieved, and she didn't want to stay here and endure her grandmother's frown, so she took Jiang Yang away first.

Mother Lin took Lin Qing into the house.

"When did they come?"

"Just arrived a while ago."

"What do you think of people?"

When Lin Qing heard her mother ask this, she remembered Jiang Yang's dislike for her just now.

"As long as Xiaoshu likes it."

"And you?"

Lin Qing shook his head quickly, "This is not suitable for me."

"Okay!" Lin's mother gave up completely.

"Just wait, I'll find you something better." Lin's mother had no intention of giving up easily, she must find a more suitable daughter for him.

…

Lin Qing had a fever that night.

She was frightened. She thought she had given up on the man. Why was it the same as in her dream? Was she doomed?

She could never believe that everything in her dream was real.

In the morning, Lin Qing had not woken up for a long time. Lin's mother went into the room to call for help and found that Lin Qing had been burnt to a pulp on the bunk bed.

Lin's mother panicked instantly, "Boss, Boss, go borrow a car quickly, your sister is burnt to a pulp."

Father Lin, a man who was almost sixty years old, picked up his daughter and ran downstairs.

The whole family was in a hurry early in the morning.

After some trouble, Lin Qing was successfully admitted to the hospital.

——

Lin Qing, leaning blankly against the head of the bed, looked pitiful no matter how you looked at him.

She didn't notice that the man who had just moved in opposite her had been staring at her for a long time.

Mother Lin was almost heartbroken when she saw her daughter in this state.

"Nannan! My good daughter, don't worry, I will definitely find a better partner for you! Don't worry!" Mother Lin touched her head.

Lin Qing was in a daze and didn't hear what she was saying at all.

Cen Xi on the opposite side realized for the first time how superficial he was. It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't like beautiful women, but that he hadn't met the one he liked.

Although the beauty opposite him was ill, she was still stunningly beautiful, and he felt as if he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

He pricked up his ears and heard the girl's parents across from him looking for a blind date for him, so he wondered if he could recommend himself.

He looked around the ward and by chance, there were only three of them in the ward at the moment.

He felt that if he liked something, he had to fight for it, so he made a brave decision.

He got off the bed, picked up his infusion bottle, and walked to Lin Qing's bed.

"Hello, Auntie."

Mother Lin was a little surprised to see the strange man who suddenly walked up to her. "Hello, hello. What can I do for you?" She thought he wanted to ask her for help.

But when she saw the man's face suddenly turn red, Lin's mother found it even more strange.

Lin Qing looked up at him blankly. Cen Xi caught a glimpse of this scene and felt as if something had struck his heart, and his face became even redder.

"Ah, Auntie, I...I just heard you say you wanted to..." He glanced at Lin Qing on the bed while sitting in the car, "Introduce someone, right?"

Lin's mother immediately understood what he meant and sat up straight, looking him up and down.

The man was wearing a work suit and a pair of silver-framed glasses. The glasses did not blind him, but instead added a touch of maturity to his handsome face.

Cen Xi felt her scrutiny and immediately stood up straight, feeling restrained for the first time.
