In the old house of the Lin family, Father Lin and Mr. Lin were sitting in the yard drinking tea.

Mr. Lin is now very old, with gray hair and wrinkled face. After an operation the year before last, his body was not as good as before, so he was forced to retire and recuperate at home.But he has also reached this age, and it is rare to see him in good spirits.

The descendants of the Lin family didn't have any cowards, and the most basic filial piety, propriety, righteousness and shame are still engraved in their bones, but most of the family members are busy and don't have much time to come back to visit the elderly.

The old people don't care, and they wish they could work hard in their jobs.

Father Lin, who is usually not so busy, visits the old house more often.

In the past, when Father Lin visited the old man, he would just chat with the old man about the housework, talk about work matters, and always talk about the good things, and never bother the old man with those bad things.

But this time, Father Lin couldn't hide the anxiety on his face, and he began to complain about his daughter's ignorance within a few words of greeting.

This kind of thing used to happen often.

Lin Xingyue is soft-tempered, she usually doesn't refute her elders, she is a bit obedient and obedient.But after all, it is also the Lin family, with the same stubbornness and stubbornness in their bones. Occasionally, they will insist on themselves and quarrel with their parents.

The trouble became serious, Father Lin knew in his heart that it was his fault, and he was afraid that his daughter would hold grudges against him because of these conflicts, but if he couldn't apologize, he would ask the old man.

Lin Xingyue respects her grandfather very much, and is a little closer than her parents. She can always listen to what old man Lin says.

This time was no exception. Father Lin was extremely angry at his daughter's behavior of turning around and leaving, but he had a faint feeling that the other party might really not look back after leaving, so he took the time to visit Mr. Lin. .

But because he was hiding his anger, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, so he complained and accused him when he opened his mouth.

"...You said, is this child Xingyue going too far? She doesn't know how to appreciate the hard work and painstaking efforts of her parents. She is so self-willed when she is so old. She was so obedient when she was a child. How did she become like this now? She must have learned it outside. broken……"

The old man was drinking tea leisurely, staring at the bamboo forest in the corner of the yard in a daze.

When he was young, he had a violent temper. Except for the youngest son who was born when he was old, he scolded and beat several children. He was a standard "strict father". Kind and gentle.

Lin's father was puzzled why his brothers and sisters became talented after being beaten and scolded, and even respected their father quite a bit, but his daughter was born with a rebellious heart.

He even seldom did anything to his daughter, and he was always reasoning.

The old man sighed secretly, blaming himself for not teaching his young son well.

"Your second brother secretly lifted the skirts of other girls when he was a child, do you think you should hit them?" the old man asked.

This happened many years ago, and it is still the black history of the second brother.

Not to mention the era when "a filial son is born under the stick", even in modern times, he should be beaten up.

The corners of Father Lin's eyes twitched, and he nodded: "... yes."

"Your sister contradicted the teacher in public, smashed the chair at the teacher, posted big-character posters inside and outside the school, and led her classmates to make troubles and interfere with other classes. Do you think you should be punished?"

At that time, it was the teacher who slandered the student for cheating and recorded it in the file and ordered him to drop out of school. In fact, he was paving the way for a place for a child of his relative's family.

The sister of the Lin family had a bad temper, and she was good friends with that student, so she started making troubles all over the school, causing other teachers and classes to be unable to attend classes normally, and every one of them was worried when they saw her.

Of course, the teacher was fired after investigation, but Mr. Lin became very angry with his daughter, and his face became so dark that Mrs. Lin dared not speak loudly in front of him.

It was also after that that Sister Lin gradually calmed down.

Father Lin was still young at that time, but he was deeply impressed by this, and he couldn't refute it after hearing the words, so he nodded: "... yes."

"However, when your elder brother dropped out of college and said he wanted to study music abroad, did I ever scold him?"

Father Lin was just born when this incident happened, and he only heard about it from his brothers and sisters.

The elder brother of the Lin family is also a genius-level figure. He has excellent grades since he was a child, and has won awards in various competitions. He has always been a leader among his peers.

Even if such a choice is made now, Father Lin thinks it is too nonsense.

What's more, the eldest brother of the Lin family didn't go down that road, and eventually returned to the field of scientific research, and is now working as the director of a certain scientific research institute.

"When children are unsound, they need their parents and elders to discipline and guide them, so that they know what the bottom line is. When the children grow up, you have no such right. At best, they can only be 'suggestions'. However, even children can He should have the right to choose, as long as he can afford the consequences."

Mr. Lin paused, took another sip of tea, and then said leisurely, "I helped Xingyue to suspend school."

"What?" Father Lin was stunned, and stood up anxiously, "Why did you—"

"She needs a good rest. I don't want a good seedling to be overwhelmed by the most ridiculous things." Mr. Lin looked at his younger son, and his words were a little harsher, "When will you find out that she is your daughter first, and then she is your daughter?" 'genius'."

Lin's father was questioned, and still had to subconsciously defend himself: "I just don't want her talents and time to be wasted on insignificant things, she could have made more achievements..."

Mr. Lin interrupted him: "Do you think I forced you to do what your brother and sister are doing now?"

Father Lin murmured: "...Of course not."

The Lin family is full of people with a sense of social responsibility. The family atmosphere is cultivated day and night, and occasionally deviant, and eventually they will go that way, even Lin's father is the same.

His older brothers and sisters are all in different fields, and they all chose their own paths. They have worked out a little bit of time since they were young, and they have achieved what they are today.

Because of this, Lin's father was even more afraid that his daughter would take a detour and waste those precious time.

"Does Xingyue want to do it herself, or do you want to use her hands to do it?" Mr. Lin said, "Children are not toys in your hands, nor are they tools for you to realize your wishes. Don't blame yourself for your incompetence. In terms of your daughter, you are not even half as good as her at her age."

Zhao Minglang's house.

When Lin Xingyue woke up, it was already daylight, the window screen was blown up by the wind outside, and the light spots on the ground flickered.When she sat up from the bed, she was still in a daze.

After being brought back by Zhao Minglang, she fell asleep for several days, and then became groggy and ate a meal halfway through. It took a long time to slowly recover from mental exhaustion.

When he went downstairs, Zhao Minglang was standing by the balcony on the phone.

"Well, I'm here...it's okay... I'll say hello to you in advance, and I'll contact you if there's any situation."

Zhao Minglang hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Xingyue lying on the sofa looking at her.

"My parents' phone number." Zhao Minglang smiled at her, "Are you awake? Are you feeling alright?"

"It's okay." Lin Xingyue rubbed her stomach, "I'm just a little hungry."

"I went to cook."

Zhao Minglang put down his phone, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the kitchen.

Lin Xingyue slumped on the sofa, picked up the pillow next to her, and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while.

Zhao Minglang watched her from the corner of his eye, and asked, "What's on your mind?"

Lin Xingyue stayed there for a while, then ran into the kitchen with a pillow in her arms, and followed Zhao Minglang step by step to watch her cook, while saying, "I'm wondering if I should call my grandpa."

"Your grandfather?"

"Well, I want to stay outside for a while."

Lin Xingyue rubbed her chin with her fingertips, she was more worried about her mother and grandpa than Lin's father.

One is not in good health and the other is old, so you can't worry too much.

Fortunately, unlike Mother Lin who blindly obeys Father Lin, Mr. Lin is very open-minded.

Zhao Minglang's heart skipped a beat: "Stay here with me?"

"Hmm... Didn't you say so?" Lin Xingyue covered her face with a pillow, and looked at her timidly with only one pair of eyes, "'Take this as your own home', can't you?"

A pair of round almond eyes looked over, they were watery, and looked really pitiful.

Zhao Minglang covered his heart, not really wanting to admit that he was poked in the heart so easily.

"Of course." Does she still have the option to refuse?

Lin Xingyue's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on her brows.

"Sister Minglang is really a good person."

"Ahem..." Zhao Minglang choked a little.

Listening to this, it's strange to make people feel delicate.

Lin Xingyue came to her senses first, with a dazed look on her face: "Oh, by the way, it seems inappropriate to say this at this time."

Zhao Minglang glanced at her, a little curious about what she thought was "suitable" to say at this time.

Seeing Lin Xingyue ravaging the pillow in her arms, her face was full of sincerity: "I like Sister Minglang the most."

"Cough cough cough-"

Zhao Minglang blushed, and found that he was moved by such straightforward and simple words, and he said in one sentence: "Well, I like you too."

Lin Xingyue buried her face in the pillow, her ears were flushed, only a pair of eyes remained, looking at Zhao Minglang and smiling.

The two looked like elementary school students sneaking under the table holding hands.

Zhao Minglang felt very embarrassed, looked at the knife in his hand, and was afraid of unnecessary accidents due to over-distraction, coughed twice, and changed the subject: "Then what are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know." Lin Xingyue shook her head honestly, "But I still have at least three months to think about it slowly."

"Three months?"

"Maybe it's time to go back to school after that."

"I thought you didn't want to go to school."

"That's not true. It's just that I have a lot of worries in my heart, and it's always difficult to devote myself wholeheartedly."

"Why does it sound like cultivating immortals?" Zhao Minglang couldn't help complaining.

"Maybe." Lin Xingyue smiled, "Sometimes mentality is also very important. After all, there is still such a long time in the future. If there is no motivation, it will be difficult to sustain it."

"You look like an adult now."

"I'm already an adult." Lin Xingyue puffed up her cheeks unconsciously, "I'm no longer a child."

"How can you be such a cute 'adult'." Zhao Minglang reached out and poked Lin Xingyue's cheek, the soft touch made her almost unable to move her hand, "You will return to your original shape once you praise it."

"No way." Lin Xingyue took a step back, stretched out her hand to cover her cheek so as not to poke her.

It's a pity for Zhao Minglang, but fortunately, he has spare energy to continue cooking.

Lin Xingyue was afraid that she would poke her again, so she stood not far away and watched her cook.

"Do you want to learn to cook?" Zhao Minglang asked.

"Yeah." Lin Xingyue nodded, "I can only cook the simplest noodles. I want to make them for you after learning."

Zhao Minglang usually worked very hard, and he had to cook for her when he came back. Although the other party was voluntary, Lin Xingyue would feel embarrassed after a long time.

This is also a little bit of thinking about others.

"I'll teach you during the next break." Zhao Minglang said, feeling a little uncontrollably happy in his heart.

When she is alone, she rarely cooks, otherwise she would not choose an open kitchen.

But since Lin Xingyue came, the originally empty big house has gradually gained popularity.

This is the change of one more person—the weight of this person will be comparable to the world.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, the National Day holiday was difficult. The first day I went back was to attend the funeral. Before leaving, a close elder passed away suddenly, and my mentality exploded instantly. I just finished the two days of work.

This year so far has been really difficult TT

I don't want to say anything else, I just hope everyone can go through this year in peace.

And I heard that the epidemic has been backlash recently, please take precautions when you go out, I want to wait until the Chinese New Year to be able to happily greet everyone
