Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 76: It is a tradition in our family to secretly read our daughter’s diary, right?
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the twilight brought out the night stars bit by bit. The vast West Mountain seemed to have no dusk today, and it was suddenly plunged into the night.

Under a lonely street lamp, Lin Jun shrank his neck, breathing heavily, and waited outside a half-open door.

Even if the door was open, he didn't dare to rush in rashly.

Soon after, the sound of footsteps came closer.

Hearing the voice, Lin Jun straightened his collar, took the briefcase out from under his armpit and held it in his hand. He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, looked straight ahead, tears flashing in his eyes, as if he was expecting something.

But soon, deep disappointment appeared in his eyes. He walked towards the door and said bitterly, "Brother Shen, the old man still doesn't want to see me?"

"After so many years, you still don't understand your father's temper? Go back, it's getting dark. If you come here after get off work, you will have to wait for a long time. You will have to go through all the trouble again if you go back to the city!" Shen Meng shook his head and said with a little regret.

Lin Jun said unwillingly: "It's okay if he doesn't forgive me. Did you tell him that I came here to tell him something about the golden needle acupuncture?"

"Brother Lin, you must have come here so late for this matter. How can I not tell you? The old man is still the same as before, with no expression!" Shen Meng patted the other party's shoulder, "I have been working on him these few days. It has been so many years. No matter how heavy the knot is, I remember Yanqiu is already in college!"

"That's right! The old man is really stubborn, even more stubborn than me!" Lin Jun was speechless.

"Hey, you and your son are the same!" Shen Meng sighed.

"Then I'll go back!" Lin Jun stretched his head to take a look at the chaotic depths of the dense forest, and deliberately raised his voice a little louder.

"Go back, go back. Be careful on the road. Do you have a flashlight?" Shen Meng asked.

“I’ve got it!” Lin Jun turned around and walked heavily to the bicycle. He searched in his briefcase and suddenly his eyes lit up. He grabbed the notebook out and said happily, “Brother Shen, wait for me for a few minutes!”

"Okay!" Shen Meng nodded, and looked at Lin Jun curiously as he squatted down and quickly wrote something on the paper. Then he carefully tore off the paper from the notebook and handed it to Shen Meng solemnly. "Brother Shen, give it to the old man for me and tell him that he must take a look. I'm leaving now!"

"Is this information? It seems to be quite useful to you, you..." Shen Meng asked curiously.

"No, I have already copied down the key parts! But I hope you can still take a look at this!" Lin Jun took a deep breath and said, "You must give it to me, I am leaving now!"

"Okay!" Shen Meng sighed and watched Lin Jun get on his bicycle and walk away briskly. He seemed to be in a much better mood after handing over this thing.

After closing the small door, Shen Meng quickly came to the three thatched cottages, pushed the door and entered the largest one, and said with a smile: "Old man, Lin Jun is gone."

The old man with gray beard and reading glasses was lying under the oil lamp, reading a book. He did not respond to what he said.

Shen Meng smiled and solemnly placed the manuscript Lin Jun gave him on his desk. "This is the manuscript Lin Jun gave me. He said he must hand it to you personally to have a look!"

Still no response, Shen Meng sighed, not knowing what to say, turned around and left, "I'll go get some water for you to wash your feet!"

After the footsteps went out the door, Mr. Lin glanced at the manuscript, but did not pick it up. Instead, he snorted coldly and continued to read his pharmacopoeia.

……

"Yanqiu, it's time to eat!"

In the tall courtyard, in the north room on the third floor, Luo Sulan brought the bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the dining table. Seeing no movement, she came over and knocked on Lin Yanqiu's door. "What are you doing? You've been locked in your room since you came back from school. What's wrong? Were you bullied by your classmates?"

"No!" Lin Yanqiu suddenly closed the notebook and quietly locked it in the drawer of the desk.

Luo Sulan stood at the door with a smile, and stretched her head out curiously, "What? Are you writing in your diary again?"

"What do you mean again? Have I ever written a diary? Mom!" Lin Yanqiu pouted and her face turned red.

"Of course I did, when you were in high school, the one with the purple cover..." Luo Sulan stopped talking here and pointed outside, "Your dad is back, come out and eat!" "Mom, you're so good, you peeked at my diary!" Lin Yanqiu rushed out with puffed cheeks. When she saw her father coming out of the bathroom, she immediately reported him, "Dad, please take care of my mom, she read my diary!"

"What's the big deal? I saw it too!" Lin Jun said without thinking.

“???” Lin Yanqiu was stunned, and then his two bean-sized eyeballs fell on the back of his hand like crystal jade beads, which he had not had time to wipe.

"Oh, my dear girl, why are you crying?" Lin Jun panicked. "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I didn't see it! Your mother even encouraged me to see it, and even secretly told me that you were right to reject the confession of the male classmate..."

"Old Lin!" Luo Sulan glared at Lin Jun speechlessly, "You don't mind watching the fun, do you?"

"Eat, eat!" Lin Jun chuckled, gave his wife a look that said you should clean up the mess she made, and sat down at the table... to watch the show.

"You damn old man, you've been causing trouble for me all day!" Luo Sulan set the table, untied her apron, came to the bathroom door, rubbed her daughter's head, and said with a smile: "Silly child, what's the point of your diary? Your grandma used to pick my locks..."

"Okay, Mom, it's a tradition in our family to secretly read our daughter's diary, right?" Lin Yanqiu had tears on her face, her lips pouted and her cheeks puffed out. She looked so sad but also cute. At home, that coldness had long been put away.

"When you give birth to a girl in the future, you will still have to read other people's diaries! Learn from them, it's for your own good!" Luo Sulan pressed Lin Yanqiu to the edge of the table, "But you won't have to do that when you grow up! You're an adult now, and you've seen when your father and I have ever taken care of you? It's different at different stages!"

"That's true!" Lin Yanqiu was a person with a very low temper. At this moment, she actually convinced herself to forgive her mother and picked up the dishes with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Seeing that her mood improved so quickly, Luo Sulan silently winked at Lin Jun several times.

Lin Jun ate the food as if he didn't see it.

She had no choice but to kick Lin Jun a few times under the table, but he was still ignored.

Luo Sulan could only glare at Lin Jun, pick up a piece of fish for her daughter, and ask indirectly: "Yanqiu, I remember that you only write diaries when you are emotional. What's the matter? Are you in love at school? What kind of family does the other party come from? What do his parents do? What's his major? How many times have you been out on dates?"

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Lin Yanqiu blushed and panicked for a moment, "What do you mean by dating? Who am I dating? Really!"

"Really?" Luo Sulan looked at her precious daughter based on her experience.

"Really not! I promise that if I fall in love, I will tell my parents as soon as possible!" Lin Yanqiu raised three fingers and swore.

"That's not necessary! I'll go and see it myself!" Luo Sulan said with a smile.

"Dad, look at Mom, why is she like this? I'm not going to pay attention to you guys anymore!" Lin Yanqiu took two big mouthfuls of rice, rushed back to the room like a fly, and slammed the door shut.

"Look at you, you can't even let her eat properly!" Lin Jun said speechlessly.

"Do you think she's hungry? I made her a big bowl of wontons when she got back. She's not hungry anymore. Guess what she did?" Luo Sulan smiled secretly, lowered her voice and came over to say, "She went to change the drawer lock!"

"You, you!" Lin Jun was full of admiration, smiling and shaking his head, "In this life, my father and I are doomed to fail in your hands!"

"Let's not talk about this. Why did you come back so late today?" Luo Sulan asked casually.

"Nothing... nothing! I just worked overtime!" Lin Jun smiled awkwardly, ate a few mouthfuls of rice hurriedly, and slipped away in a panic.

“……” Luo Sulan looked at Lin Yanqiu’s door, and then at Old Lin who was pretending to read a newspaper.

What are these two doing?
