Shen Lin had dinner at Chu Feng's house and then went out with Chu Feng. Chu Feng returned to his work, while Shen Lin went to his old father-in-law's house to pick up Lu Xiaorong.
Shen Lin rode his bicycle and soon arrived at the courtyard of the hardware machinery factory. Under the dim street lights, there were children laughing and playing, adults chatting leisurely, and young people holding hands on the road...
Shouldn't he and Lu Xiaorong hold hands and take a few steps together?
Just when this idea came to Shen Lin's mind, he suddenly felt that the boy leading the girl looked familiar.
"Lu Xiaoshan." Shen Lin stopped in front of the couple and called out tentatively.
The man and woman who were immersed in sweetness were startled when they heard the shout, and they let go of their hands almost at the same time.
Lu Xiaoshan turned around and saw Shen Lin, patted his heart and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so sneaky, you scared me to death!"
"Hey, you're scared? Tell me, what bad thing did you do? Didn't you walk very leisurely just now!" Shen Lin winked at Lu Xiaoshan and smiled, teasing him and squinting at the girl next to him.
This girl looks fresh and refreshing, wearing a red plaid top and two braids. She looks as docile as a kitten under the dim street light.
The girl lowered her head, as if she was frightened, and her face was a little red.
"Brother-in-law, are you here to pick up my sister? Come over quickly. If you get there late, there will be no food for you!" When Lu Xiaoshan said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and waved to Shen Lin: "By the way, brother-in-law, My sister had a fight with my mother just now, so you must be careful later and don't touch the muzzles of their guns."
The daughter-in-law quarreled with her mother again. For Shen Lin, this situation was not too unexpected.
Although the daughter-in-law has a much softer personality, she is actually soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Mother-in-law Xu Hongying is tough on the outside and strong on the inside. Although there is still a gap between the two, they are not too different.
Most of the time, she can be a loving mother and a filial son, but once something happens, she will immediately get into a rage.
"I'm talking about Xiaoshan, you still want to change the subject for me? You don't want to introduce this girl to me?" Shen Lin asked with a smile.
Seeing that Shen Lin was not prepared to let him go so easily, Lu Xiaoshan simply put his arm around the girl's shoulders and said, "Xiaoling, this is my rich brother-in-law Shen Lin. You should have heard of it."
"Brother-in-law, this is He Xiaoling. She works in the textile factory next door."
At this time, He Xiaoling raised her head and looked at Shen Lin, and said shyly: "Hello, brother-in-law, I have heard of you a long time ago. Now everyone says that you are the richest man in our area. I don't know how many young people admire you. And you."
When Shen Lin heard about the richest man, he trembled. He shook his head and said, "Don't listen to Lu Xiaoshan's nonsense. I don't make much money."
"Brother-in-law, being low-key is the best way to show off. Why are you so modest? We are not planning to borrow money from you."
Listening to Lu Xiaoshan's words, Shen Lin shook his head. This brother-in-law really needs practice in speaking!
Judging from the girl's attitude, she didn't want to talk to him anymore. Shen Lin knew the psychology of young people, so he said to the two of them: "Okay, you guys chat first, I will pick up your sister first."
Lu Xiaoshan said quickly: "Brother-in-law, when you arrive at my house, you must not tell my mother that you met me."
Seeing Lu Xiaoshan's serious look, Shen Lin said with a bad smile: "Okay, just give me some hush money later!"
After bidding farewell to Lu Xiaoshan, he arrived at Lu Xiaorong's house. When Shen Lin opened the door and entered, he felt that the room was not too big and the atmosphere was really dignified.
The fourteen-inch black and white TV that was usually turned on at home was not only not turned on at this time, but even the plug was pulled out.
Lu Xiaorong sat on the side with a cold face, while Lu Dahai sat on a big chair, reclining there as if sleeping. As for Chen Hongying, she was busy in the kitchen.
She was clinking, as if she was washing the dishes, but her movements seemed a bit exaggerated.
"Shen Lin is here, sit down and have a rest." When Chen Hongying saw Shen Lin, a smile appeared on her face and she greeted with a smile.
As soon as Shen Lin said hello to Chen Hongying and Lu Dahai, Lu Xiaorong pulled Shen Lin and said, "Stop sitting and go for a walk with me. I want to eat."
While talking, he pulled Shen Lin away.
Although Shen Lin doesn't know what Lu Xiaorong means, Shen Lin has one good thing, that is, when it comes to things he doesn't know, he listens to his wife for the first time.
"Mom, Dad, I'm leaving now. Let's talk later." As he spoke, Shen Lin supported Lu Xiaorong, whose stomach was getting more and more uncomfortable, and walked towards the door.
Chen Hongying originally had a lot of things to say to Shen Lin, but she didn't expect that her daughter would come to him like this.
For a moment, she was speechless and didn't know what to say.
When closing the door, she couldn't help but said to Lu Dahai: "Lu Dahai, look at the good daughter you have raised. She has only been here for a few days and you can't say anything about her. You, the father, don't care about her!" "
Facing Chen Hongying's accusation, Lu Dahai didn't care at all. He plugged in the socket leisurely and turned on the black and white TV.
Shen Lin helped Lu Xiaorong downstairs, and then asked Lu Xiaorong: "Why, did you quarrel with our mother again?"
"Humph, my mother is really annoying. Tell me, my father has only been the deputy director of the factory for a long time, and she promised a relative that she would ask my father to help transfer his position to his children."
Lu Xiaorong said helplessly: "She told me about this while eating today, but I pushed her back."
Before Shen Lin could speak, Lu Xiaorong continued: "Don't mess around with this matter. I'm telling you, if my mother is like this, she should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, he should think everything is right. .”
Seeing that Lu Xiaorong said it seriously, Shen Lin nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will never ask about this matter."
Lu Xiaorong nodded with satisfaction and said: "My mother, when someone says a few kind words to her, she immediately becomes happy and agrees to everything she can or cannot do. It's true."
After complaining about his mother, Lu Xiaorong suddenly said to Shen Lin: "By the way, how did you know that my mother and I had a quarrel?"
"I met Lu Xiaoshan when I came here, he said." Shen Lin smiled and said, "By the way, I also met Xiaoshan's girlfriend, she seems to be a girl from the cotton spinning factory, the two of them are quite matched. .”
"What did you say? Xiaoshan has a girlfriend?" Lu Xiaorong said in surprise: "He is still a child who has not grown up. Whose girl is so blind!"
"By the way, tell me quickly, what does Lu Xiaoshan's girlfriend look like?"
Seeing Lu Xiaorong with a gossipy face, Shen Lin had to satisfy Lu Xiaorong's curiosity. During the chat, the two of them slowly came to the door of their house.
"Shen Lin, why did you suddenly go to the second sister's house today? Is there something going on?" Lu Xiaorong asked as he was going upstairs.
"It's okay, I just went to see them." Shen Lin pretended to be casual and said, "They are moving soon. I'm going to ask if I need help."
