“Brother Lin, why did you come here today? but fortunately you came to pick me up, otherwise I will be entangled with that person.” The bike reached the City road, and Lin Qingsong couldn’t see their shadow anymore. Xu Nannan rejoiced.

Lin Qingbai also stopped the car and propped his left foot on the ground, “The person you mentioned was the one who pestered you just now?”

Xu Nannan was worried that Lin Qingbai was tired, so she jumped out of the bike and pulled at his clothes. “It’s him, I don’t know what bad luck I have. I met him once when I was on a business trip in Shanghai. I didn’t expect that after I came back, I will meet him again.”

Xu Nannan no longer treats Lin Qingbai as an outsider. The troubles encountered in these mines are not good to tell Grandma Yu and others, but she can talk it out to Lin Qingbai. They’re both young people, so these things can also resonate.

“Nannan, I can’t hide something from you.” Lin Qingbai said with a serious face.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Nannan was a little nervous by his nervous look.

Lin Qingbai sighed, “That person… is my brother.”

“Huh?!” Xu Nannan was dumbfounded. Lin Qingbai… Lin Qingsong… the name is so similar, it should have been thought of long ago. It’s just that the two brothers are too far apart, their lengths are different, and their temperaments are even more different…

A person like that, turned out to be Brother Lin’s brother.

Looking at Lin Qingbai’s serious look, it didn’t seem to be a joke.

She was a little embarrassed. Before, she disliked his brother in front of Brother Lin. She would not complain to him if she knew it.

No wonder Brother Lin is so serious. If someone said to her that Xiaoman was not good, she would definitely go black.

Seeing her tangled look, Lin Qingbai’s mouth bends, and he said solemnly, “I didn’t mean to blame you. In fact, when you said Qingsong’s name to me that day, I thought it should be him, so I made a special effort today. Come and take a look. I didn’t expect it to be him… He is not bad tempered, but he kind of likes to play around with girls. Since childhood, the girls in our City have been provoked by him all over the time. Look how many girls are sad because he hurt their feelings, and he also doesn’t deal with others.”

He didn’t have a guilty conscience when he said this. Didn’t that stinky boy like to provoke those little girls since he was a child? It’s just that he wants to be brothers with others, and they want to be friends with others.

But the nature is still the same.

When Xu Nannan heard it, wasn’t this a playboy? It should be called a rogue at this time.

“Nannan, it’s right for you to keep a distance from him. Although he is my brother, I still can’t get used to him. I will do ideological work with him when I go back. I won’t let him provoke you in the future. His temper hasn’t been settled yet, and I don’t know how much damage this kind of practice will do to other women. He must be well educated.”

To this, Xu Nannan agreed. Such a temperament will at most be a menace in the future, irresponsibly teasing a girl’s heart. It’s not good in this era. Don’t look at the tolerance of women now, in fact, it is better than the old society. They treat women as men, so that women can hold up half the sky. But if you have a scandal with this, you will find someone in the future, and people will hear of it. It was Zhang Liang’s fault that Jiang Lili had experienced before, and look how many people laughed at Jiang Lili who made trouble in the Mine.

She deeply felt Lin Qingsong’s hatefulness, and Xu Nannan didn’t feel guilty about the things she had said badly about him before. She and Brother Lin are friends. If I know a bad thing, then you have to bring it up. You can’t let the younger brother at home do bad things.

“Brother Lin, don’t worry, I will keep a distance from him in the Mine in the future. If he goes to provoke other women, I will also tell you.”

He won’t commit the crime of hooliganism for a while. Since he is Brother Lin’s brother, he can’t be led astray. He can’t hurt her or the other women. Anyway, she can just talk to Brother Lin, it doesn’t matter.

Lin Qingbai looked helpless and sighed, “Nannan, you have to worry about yourself in the future.”

Lin Qingsong has been sneezing in the Dormitory room of the Country Party Committee Compound. After sneezing, he felt restless again.

What does his brother have to do with Yu Nannan?

Thinking about the crooked eyebrows, he realized how he never saw his brother smile before. When he saw him smile like this to others, it confused him. He have never be so gentle with him as a brother, let alone treat women… It was surprising to see him being good to girls.

So his brother is…

Impossible, there are no signs at all. He felt that if she was another woman, she would definitely make trouble in the world, and let people know that he was her partner. Isn’t this too boring for his brother?

Click! And the door swung open. Lin Qingsong sat up all of a sudden, looking nervously at the person who came in.

“Brother, you are back.”

“Yeah.” Lin Qingbai changed shoes as if nothing happened, poured water to wash his face and wiped off sweat. Then dump the end of the basin out of the sink.

Lin Qingsong dare not say a word. When he came in, he looked refreshed, and they seemed to be in a good mood, so he whispered, “Brother, I saw you on the road before with Secretary Yu from our Mine… What is your relationship with her?” He thought. Thinking that he still asked straightforwardly.

Lin Qingbai poured a glass of cold water, took a sip, and looked at him, “Since you saw it, I won’t hide it from you. That’s just what you think. Qingsong, although Nannan is younger than you, you can’t bully her. “

“…” Lin Qingsong was dumbfounded. What did he think, that he was still like that?

“Qingsong, you have to keep a little distance from her, otherwise the influence will not be good in the future.” Lin Qingbai said with a stern tone.

Lin Qingsong nodded subconsciously. His brother told him to stay away from his future sister-in-law, which is understandable. But why does this feel uncomfortable in his heart? Alas, it’s rare to meet a girl with such a fate, who turned out to be a partner with his brother. And his brother is better to Nannan than him. For a while, he didn’t know it was a pity, but he still felt wronged.

Lin Qingsong felt like his head was spinning, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it appears. Yu Nannan… Brother… Yu Nannan…

Lin Qingbai drank the water, patted him on the shoulder, and brought his wandering attention back, “Also, she is young now, and there are some things that can’t be said nonsense in the Mine. People will misunderstand her. You are an adult, you have to understand this.”

“Oh.” Lin Qingsong replied. That’s fine, He doesn’t have to call her, his sister-in-law yet. Otherwise, it would be too shameless.

Lin Qingbai nodded in satisfaction, and said indifferently, “By the way, Qingsong, did you go to the Mine to meet with your previously destined little girl?”

Lin Qingsong subconsciously shook his head like a rattle, “No, no, I suddenly feel that we are not fated at all. This world is too big. Isn’t it normal to encounter several times?”

“It’s best for you to think this way, I’m going to take a bath.” Lin Qingbai turned around to get the clothes and the basin, then went out the door.

When his brother left, Lin Qingsong pursed his lips and was extremely aggrieved, “Whose brother are you? Why threatening me…”

Outside, Lin Qingbai walked towards the water room with a basin, shaking his head and sighing.

It’s a risk, he was absolutely guarded, and he almost failed to guard the this little thief. Nannan’s temperament was good and smart, and she was not deceived by Qingsong’s glamorous appearance.

The next day, Xu Nannan discovered that instructor Lin was finally normal.

When the two met in the cafeteria, Instructor Lin glanced at her, then shrugged his shoulders and left without saying a word of nonsense.

Xu Nannan shouldn’t be too happy about this.

It seems that Brother Lin really took his brother down. That said, Brother Lin is so good, and this little brother is not so hopeless to change.

Lin Qingsong was eating, and occasionally glancing at Xu Nannan, before bowing his head to take a big bite. When he didn’t know about his brother and Secretary Yu, he hadn’t felt it yet. Looking at it now, this Secretary Yu is not yet eighteen years old. Unexpectedly, his brother would like this type of girl. No wonder he didn’t even look at others before. He liked this kind of girl. How could his brother be like this?

Even if the Secretary Yu’s is quite likable, especially those eyes that are as flexible as talking, but she is too small, is his brother too quick to start?

What are you doing so quickly!

Lin Qingsong put the tortilla in his mouth, cheeks bulging.

After eating a few bites, he found that Xu Nannan and Zhu Fang were still talking while eating. Lin Qingsong simply took the bowl and went out without looking at them.

At the entrance of the cafeteria is a sink for washing dishes. At this time, many people line up. Lin Qingsong looked at his tableware, contemplating if he should wash it or not.

“Brother Song.”

While Lin Qingsong was struggling, Xu Hong walked from the side with a smile, apparently waiting on the side long ago. Lin Qingsong was a little impatient to see her. If Yu Nannan really married his brother in the future, this would be a part of the family. The Old Xu family had a conflict with his sister-in-law, and he couldn’t get together with the Old Xu family.

Even if Yu Nannan didn’t say anything, his brother would beat him.

He still remembers that when he was a child, he cut a photo of his brother for fun, after his brother found out, he almost couldn’t recognize his face who was beaten by his brother.

Although his brother hasn’t beaten him since then, he has no doubt that his brother’s fist is stronger than when he was a child.

Lin Qingsong didn’t speak, Xu Hong was not upset at all, and smiled softly, “Brother Song, are you used to coming to the Mine? If you are not used to it, just tell my uncle.”

“Is it useful to tell your uncle?” Lin Qingsong wondered.

Xu Hong choked suddenly.

She just said a kind word…

Embarrassed for a moment, she saw the bowls and chopsticks in Lin Qingsong’s hand and said quickly, “Brother Song, let me clean the dishes for you.”

“No, no, this can’t be done. How can a girl’s hand be used to wash dishes? Your hands should be well protected, and your fingers should not touch anything dirty. Have you heard of it? You have to protect your hands from it.” Lin Qingsong is busy dodging her, with a polite expression.

Let people see you wash the rice bowls for me, how can I make it clear, about our relationship with each other in the future?

Xu Hong didn’t know what he was thinking in his heart, so she couldn’t be moved. This is the first time she has heard a man say that women do not need to wash dishes. The words are really nice, her fingers, do not touch anything dirty. In this way, he treats a woman as his baby.

She blushed and looked at Lin Qingsong, “Brother Song, do you have time this weekend? Let’s have a meal together. The last time you invited me to dinner, I didn’t return it.”

Girl, that is to invite Liu Hongjun to dinner…But well, he might as well just agree.

Lin Qingsong smiled, ” If you aren’t so polite, I wouldn’t have paid attention to you. Okay, shall we go to the restaurant last weekend for dinner?”

Xu Hong nodded repeatedly when she heard that he agreed. She couldn’t stop her eyes from shining at the thought of getting along with him on the weekends.

Lin Qingsong was still going to say something. Seeing Xu Nannan and Zhu Fang walking out, he quickly said, “I have work to do, I have to go. Let’s talk about it on the weekends.” After speaking, he took the rice bowl and left.

Xu Hong chased him two steps, watched him walk fast, and knew that he was going to do business, so she didn’t catch up. Looking back, she also saw Xu Nannan and Zhu Fang, and suddenly pursed her mouth and snorted coldly. She walked past Xu Nannan with her neck up.

“Look, her nostrils are upside-down, and she looks ugly.” Zhu Fang said angrily.

Xu Nannan glanced at Lin Qingsong’s direction. She just saw it. The two were talking outside. Seeing Xu Hong’s shameful answer, it was obvious that she had thoughts about others.

Didn’t Xu Hong have a partner? Last time, it was the child of the Cadre of the Country Party Committee who was riding a bicycle. How could she stare at Lin Qingsong again this time?

This is to find a horse while riding on a donkey.

Xu Hong, who was riding a donkey to find a horse, ran home, and instead of going to class, she picked clothes at home. She has always had the most clothes in the family. There is no Bragi to wear, although Li Jing also bought cloth and fabrics before and asked someone to make her two skirts. But when she tried it on her body, she always felt dissatisfied.

There was no cloth ticket at home now, and it was too late to do it first, so Xu Hong simply picked a blue long skirt along with it. This one looks a little newer.

Thinking of going to eat then, she had to ask for food stamps, so she rushed outside to look for Li Jing.

“Auntie, do you have food stamps?”

Li Jing is rubbing corn on the cob. This is the corn she harvested from the countryside with the help of the Mine prospector. It will be mixed with other coarse grains and cooked together, so it can make a few meals.

Hearing Xu Hong’s question, she sternly said, “Where are the food stamps? Last time they were taken by Meizi to coax a man.” There was no mention of Xu Hong stealing the food stamps.

She didn’t mention it, Xu Hong naturally pretended to be innocent, “Auntie, I need food stamps urgently now. Brother Song, the son of the Chief’s family, is in our mine now. I want to invite him to dinner.”

“Please eat, okay, go to the cafeteria and report your uncle’s name. His food is over there.” Li Jing was a little bit pained, but she still helped out her ideas.

Now that life is not as good as each day, her only hope now is Xu Hong.

If this girl’s thing really happens, she really hasn’t wasted all these years.

When she heard that she was asked to go to the cafeteria for dinner, Xu Hong immediately quit, “How can this work? I couldn’t even invite Liu Hongjun. I’m more ashamed to let Brother Song go to the cafeteria. At least I want to go and eat in a restaurant.”

“What, go to the restaurant?” Li Jing’s eyes widened, “Where will the food stamps come from?”

“Can’t you go to borrow some, Auntie? You can’t bear for a child who can’t catch a wolf. You can’t even give her expensive meals. People will definitely look down on us in the future and will not talk about getting married.”

Xu Hong’s words are straightforward.

Li Jing listened, thought about it, and felt that this matter could not be stingy. It’s rare in Nanjiang City to come to a son from the Chief’s house. If you don’t catch this, you will regret it for a lifetime. Since they agreed to have dinner with Honghong, it shows that there is a possibility. It can’t be a bad thing.

“Okay, I’ll borrow it.”

“Auntie, there should be meat tickets.” How can I not eat meat when I eat?

“……okay.”

Outside the door, Xu Ling squatted on the floor and wrote one, two, three, four while Li Jing went out. She glanced at Li Jing’s back, and then quickly ran to the Purchasing Department.

Xu Nannan heard that Xu Ling came to her, and thought she was wronged again at home, so she hurried out, but the little girl was fine. And because she has eaten to her stomach’s full content recently, her spirit is much better than before.

“Sister, do you have food coupons?” Xu Ling whispered.

Xu Nannan said, “What do you want food stamps for? If you lack food, go to the cafeteria to find Master Du.”

“No, sister, if you have food stamps, please invite the new College Student from the Mine to eat. I heard the big girl say that he came from a Chief’s household.” Xu Ling doesn’t know what the Chief is, but between the two’s dialogue, she thinks it must be a great official.

“You’re talking about Lin Qingsong?” He was also a new College Student in this Mine. What does this mean? Doesn’t it mean that Brother Lin is also from the Chief’s family?

Xu Nannan was just a little depressed, so she heard Xu Ling say, “This is the person, the big girl called him Brother Song. Sister, you should also invite him to dinner. Don’t make the big girl cheap. You and him will have a good life in the future. “

“…” What is in the kid’s head all day long?

Xu Nannan was a little embarrassed, and then touched her little head, “Xiaoling, this partner is not for a good life.” You can’t make it clear to the child, but you can let the child learn.

“That’s not it, Sanya and Daya both do this.” Xu Ling said solemnly.

Xu Nannan shook her head, “That’s them, but your sister can’t do this.”

“Sister, then what do you want to find? You can’t live a hard life in the future.”

“I will always find someone who is pleasing to the eye so we could get along well.” Xu Nannan said, and a vague shadow appeared in her head. She immediately snapped from her stupor. Thinking too much, thinking too much, I became a nympho.

Seeing Xu Ling still looking up at her, Xu Nannan blushed and stuffed her with a few candies, “Go and play, don’t worry about sister.”

Putting candy in her mouth, Xu Ling looked at her sister, but still bounced away.

When the little girl left, Xu Nannan sighed, but couldn’t think too much. The marriage is not a problem, it is too insulting to such a pure friendship.

Thinking about what was it just now, she wanted to laugh. Is this little girl too caring? She even took this matter seriously, and rushed to give her advice.

But Xu Hong borrowed food stamps to invite Lin Qingsong to eat. Is the two of them going to develop? She still has to talk to Brother Lin.

Xu Nannan was planning to talk to Lin Qingbai on the weekend, but Lin Qingbai was waiting on the side of the road again in the afternoon on the way to work.

She glanced at Lin Qingsong not far behind. Today this one didn’t bother her anymore.

She came over, “Brother Lin, are you here to find Instructor Lin?”

Lin Qingbai smiled and glanced at his younger brother, and said with a smile, “No, I get off work early today, I will drop by to pick you up.”

He said before stepping into the bike. When Xu Nannan saw this, she also got into the back seat of the bike.

Looking back at Lin Qingsong, he was standing there unhappy.

Is he jealous? Xu Nannan thought. She had heard before that some brothers and sisters had better relationships with each other, and she could not see that here, are the brothers not kind to each other?

But this is not the case with Lin Qingsong.

Lin Qingsong stood in place, gritted his teeth, depressed. What? Is this to guard him like a thief? Isn’t she just a potential partner? Why should he come to pick her up every day?

He discovered for the first time that his brother turned out to be such a person.

On the way, Xu Nannan and Lin Qingbai talked about Lin Qingsong and Xu Hong. “Originally, the type of partner of this kind of thing is one that is easy to reach, but the woman has two feet on two boats, and it always feels unreliable. I think I should mention it to you.”

Lin Qingbai stepped on the pedal of the bike and smiled, “It’s okay, I will remind him when I turn around.”

Xu Nannan gave a hum. This matter is considered complete, and she doesn’t need to care about it later. She remembered what Xu Ling had said to her before, thought about it, and then asked, “Brother Lin, is the head of your family a Chief?”

She felt Lin Qingbai stiffen, then the bike turned a corner and reached the embankment where they looked at the scenery before. It’s not dark yet because of the hot weather.

After getting out of the bike, they walked along the embankment. Xu Nannan didn’t know how to speak. She actually just asked, without thinking too much. Now it seems that Brother Lin is not angry. Would you say that she is low-minded?

“My father is indeed a Chief of the Army, but before the age of fourteen, I didn’t live with him.” Lin Qingbai looked at the river and said suddenly.

Xu Nannan didn’t know this but looked at him in surprise. Although the two brothers look different, she really dared to think in other ways.

Lin Qingbai’s tough face was reminiscent. “When my father joined the Army, I was still very young. Before long, the village was in a desolate state. My mother took me to beg with the villagers and go to the big city to beg for food.”

Xu Nannan didn’t expect Lin Qingbai to have such an experience.

“My mother asked a big family to be their helper. That family was also very kind and took us in. Later on… I lived there until I was fourteen and didn’t return there.”

Lin Qingbai did not elaborate, and Xu Nannan dared not ask in detail.

She thought her experience was pretty bad before, but now it’s nothing compared to Lin Qingbai. In those turbulent years, he was wandering away before the age of fourteen. When he returned home, according to the age of the two brothers, they would have had Lin Qingsong by then. Watching his father marry a new wife and gave birth to a son, just thinking about it makes you already feel the journey of the fourteen-year-old boy.

As soon as Xu Nannan felt sad for him, he heard Lin Qingbai’s laughter.

She stared and laughed.

Lin Qingbai smiled, “Do you think I had a bad life? No, before the age of fourteen… I had a good life, really good. After that, it was not bad. My father and Stepmother, but I call her Auntie value me very much. But if they let me choose, I would rather choose a day before the age of 14. So Nannan, I don’t care about it at all. ” He really wanted to talk to Nannan about his days at that time, but he couldn’t. He promised not to say anything. Even to the girl he likes very much.

Xu Nannan nodded, feeling a bit similar to Lin Qingbai. Brother Lin before the age of fourteen was also like an orphan.

She doesn’t know how Brother Lin lived before he was fourteen. He even said it well. At that year, how did a child live well? Xu Nannan couldn’t figure it out.
