Travel back to the 80s to farm

"Yes, this matter does require careful consideration." Shen Jing also agreed.

Seeing this, Lin Longping didn't dare to ask any further.

"Anyway, I hope you can get a result soon." Teacher Zhang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your understanding." Shen Jing held Lin Yiping's hand.

Lin Yiping looked at Shen Jing and nodded, "We will."

Afterwards, everyone chatted about some family matters in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

In the evening, Lin Yiping bid farewell to the Shen family.

Shen Jing saw him out, and the two walked side by side on the country road.

"Yiping, are you really willing to marry me?" Shen Jing suddenly asked.

Lin Yiping stopped and looked at Shen Jing seriously, "Of course, I have always wanted to spend the rest of my life with you."

Shen Jing was moved after hearing this and she held Lin Yiping's hand tightly.

"I also want to be with you, but I'm worried about my parents..." Shen Jing said with some concern.

"Don't be afraid, we will face it together." Lin Yiping comforted.

Shen Jing nodded with a determined expression on her face.

As the sun sets, the two figures walk away. Their future is full of unknowns, but their hands hold each other tighter.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Shen Jing took the address Tao Huimin had written down earlier and boarded a train with Lin Yiping to go to her biological mother's place.

Along the way, Shen Jing and Lin Yiping talked a lot, and they were full of expectations for the future. After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at their destination.

After exiting the station, they saw a familiar figure - Shen Jing's mother Tao Huimin.

Shen's mother stood at the exit and looked around anxiously. Finally, she saw her daughter and a young man walking out of the station from a distance. She immediately showed a happy smile on her face and waved to them excitedly, "Jingjing, Mom is here!"

Shen Jing recognized her mother at a glance, and she ran towards Tao Huimin impatiently. When the two were still a few steps away from each other, Shen Jing opened her arms and hugged Tao Huimin tightly.

"Mom, Happy New Year, I really missed you!" Shen Jing's voice trembled with excitement, tears of joy flashing in her eyes.

"Good boy, mom misses you so much too!" Tao Huimin gently stroked Shen Jing's hair and smiled lovingly.

At this time, Lin Yiping, who was following behind, came forward, carrying a bag in his hand, and greeted Tao Huimin with a smile: "Auntie, Happy New Year!"

"Well, Xiaolin is here! Did you have a smooth journey?" Tao Huimin nodded politely, her tone rather calm.

"Everything is going well. Thank you for your concern, Auntie." Lin Yiping, on the contrary, behaved very reservedly. He answered cautiously.

Then, Tao Huimin patted Shen Jing on the back and suggested, "Let's go. Your dad's company's car is waiting outside. Let's go home quickly!"

After that, Tao Huimin took Shen Jing's hand and walked out of the station. Lin Yiping followed them silently, helping to carry the luggage. Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Shen Jing excitedly told about her experiences and observations abroad, and Tao Huimin occasionally interrupted and asked about her daughter's life with concern. Most of the time, Lin Yiping just listened quietly, occasionally agreeing with a few words, trying not to be so abrupt.

When we got home, Shen Jing's father, Shen Changrong, was handling some official business in the study. This was a cadre house assigned by the unit. The appearance of the house was a little old, but it still revealed stability and simplicity. When we walked into the house, the first thing that caught our eyes was a set of old-fashioned sofas and coffee tables in the living room. The floor was covered with wooden floors, which were a little worn but still clean. A landscape painting hung on the wall of the living room, adding a bit of elegance.

After passing through the living room, I came to the study. The study was simply and neatly decorated. A desk was placed next to the window, with an old-fashioned desk lamp and some documents on it. The bookshelf was filled with various books, covering politics, history, literature and other fields. Shen Changrong sat in front of the desk, looking at the documents attentively, and occasionally picking up a pen to annotate something on them.

"Her father, your daughter is back. Why are you still hiding in the study? Come out to greet her!" Tao Huimin stood at the door of the study and raised her voice to shout inside.

Shen Changrong was sitting at the desk. He didn't stand up immediately after hearing the voice. He just asked without raising his head, "She knows she's back?"

Seeing this, Tao Huimin couldn't help but sigh, shook her head and said, "What a jerk you are! Your daughter finally came home, what's your attitude? Don't you want to see her?"

Shen Changrong remained unmoved and continued to look at the documents in his hands, but he began to wonder in his heart, why did his daughter suddenly come back?

At this time, Tao Huimin added: "Besides, she didn't come back alone this time, she brought a young man with her!"

"What did you say!" Shen Changrong raised his head suddenly, a surprised expression on his face, and the documents in his hand fell. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Did you really bring a man back?"

Tao Huimin nodded and answered affirmatively: "Of course, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

Shen Changrong frowned and fell into deep thought. He wondered, who is this young man? Why did he go home with his daughter? Countless questions came to his mind.

After a moment's silence, Tao Huimin urged again, "Are you going to come out or not?"

Shen Changrong took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and responded as he walked towards the door: "Okay, let's go and take a look." His heart was full of curiosity and worry, not knowing what would happen next.

Shen Changrong walked out of the study quickly, and when he saw Lin Yiping, he looked him up and down. Lin Yiping greeted Shen Changrong nervously, and Shen Changrong nodded slightly in response.

Shen Jing quickly introduced: "Dad, this is Lin Yiping, the person I'm dating."

Shen Changrong's face darkened slightly. He looked at Lin Yiping, then at Shen Jing, and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

The four of them sat in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. After a moment of silence, Shen Changrong asked, "What do you do for a living?"

Lin Yiping answered truthfully: "I am now a grassroots cadre."

Shen Changrong nodded and continued to ask, "What's your family situation?" Lin Yiping replied, "My parents are ordinary farmers, and I have a younger sister who is in school." Shen Changrong said nothing after hearing this.

Shen Jing saw what her father was thinking, and she said, "Dad, Yiping and I really love each other, and he treats me very well."

Tao Huimin also chimed in, "Yes, Evergreen, let the young people make their own decisions."

Shen Changrong looked at his wife, then at his daughter, and finally said, "I need some time to think about your matter." After that, he stood up and walked into the study, leaving the three people in the living room looking at each other.

"Mom, what does Dad mean by this?" Shen Jing turned and asked Tao Huimin.
