61. Because of Zhou Ruxin's "sleep", the driver was embarrassed to chat with Lin Suqing, so he had to concentrate on driving. The advantage is that it usually takes more than an hour's drive on weekdays, but today it took less than 10 minutes.The two of them collected their luggage and paid to get off the car. After walking a few steps, they saw a man who looked a lot like Su Qing walking over quickly: "Su Qing, here we come. Today is so fast. Well, this This must be Teacher Zhou Ruxin." While speaking, he took the suitcases from the two of them, dragged one in each hand, and led the two into the shop.

Lin Qisheng obviously greeted the owner in advance, and the three of them entered a small private room, where a few snacks were already placed on the table, Lin Suqing asked in confusion, "Brother, don't we go home to eat?"

Lin Qisheng motioned for everyone to sit down first, then smiled at Zhou Ruxin: "Ru Xin, can I follow Su Qing to call you Ru Xin?"

Zhou Ruxin nodded lightly: "Well, then I will follow Suqing to call your brother."

Lin Qisheng said: "That would be the best. Well, Suqing, Ruxin, please listen to me first. A while ago, my mother told me that my father told her that his heart was always inexplicably bored. I panicked, and I was afraid that we were worried, so I refused to tell us, so I just talked to my mother. So, I took my father to the county hospital for a check-up. Yes, some discomfort is normal. At first, I also thought that what the doctor said was reasonable. Which old man has no minor problems? Later, when your sister-in-law found out about this, she scolded me and asked me to bring my parents I went to a big hospital in the provincial capital for a full body check."

Hearing this, Suqing became anxious: "What's the result?"

Lin Qisheng smiled at her comfortingly: "Suqing, don't worry, well, there are some problems, but they are not very serious. The test results just came out two days ago, and it is said that Dad's heart has some blood vessels aging. , just to pay more attention, don't get too emotional, afraid of causing a heart attack, etc. Mom's health is fine, I just say she has some high blood pressure, I guess it's because my mother is a little fatter, in short, pay more attention to diet and daily life .”

After hearing this, Su Qing felt relieved. Generally, the elderly will have some problems with these problems. Well, when I get home later, I must explain my parents' dietary problems. Also, when I call again in the future, I must Also ask more about this aspect.

While thinking about it, Lin Suqing asked: "Then, bro, did you ask us to meet you first just to tell me about this?"

Lin Qisheng pondered for a while: "Suqing, when I received your call the other day, I was so excited that I forgot about my parents' physical condition for a while, so I promised to speak for you at that time. I thought about it very hard yesterday. After looking at this matter, Suqing, Ruxin, you are all sensible people, and you all know that it is impossible for old people like parents who have stayed in the countryside all their lives to imagine that there is still the kind of relationship between you in the world, so , If you want them to accept Ruxin, the possibility should be very small. Suqing, if you just take Ruxin home like this, tell your parents, hey, this is the person I said to spend the rest of my life with , it is estimated that parents will have a heart attack and a high blood pressure attack on the spot, believe it or not?"

Before Lin Suqing could answer, Zhou Ruxin said from the side: "That's absolutely not possible!"

She looked at Lin Suqing beside her and said, "Suqing, I don't care what kind of identity I use to meet your parents, so," she turned to look at Lin Qisheng: "Brother, I think you're going to talk to us today. You must have made up your mind about what you said, so just say it, and we will definitely cooperate."

As soon as these words came out, let alone Lin Suqing's heart was moved, even Lin Qisheng didn't feel moved: "Ru Xin, Suqing told me how good you are, I was dubious at first, um, Suqing was right. people."

So the three of them settled down and sat down, listening to Lin Qisheng say: "Su Qing, it's like this. I told my parents last night that I received your call before work, saying that Su Qing, you, can't come because of something. , but the parents over there are quite satisfied with you, so they sent that younger sister to follow you first to see the situation in your family. When the country people here talk about marriage, this happens occasionally It means that one party first sends a trustworthy person to scout the other party's family situation. If the person reports good words after returning, the marriage will basically be settled. If the person returns and says something bad In some places, it is estimated that some good things take a long time, and some even fail to get married. So, after my parents heard what I said, they didn't say much, but they were always nervous about how to entertain Ruxin."

After listening to Lin Qisheng's words, Zhou Ruxin didn't have any objections. Lin Suqing thought for a while and said, "Then, brother, have you ever mentioned anything about Ruxin to your parents? For example, her job or something."

Lin Qisheng thought about it for a while: "Probably not. I just said that Ruxin is the younger sister of your family. I didn't say anything else. I don't know if you have said anything to your mother before. Hurry up and talk to Ruxin first." , don’t miss the telltale tricks then.” Su Qing thought about it carefully: “No, brother, I remember telling my mother that Ru Xin was the only one in her family. What about my sister? Did my parents have no doubts at all after hearing what you said last night?"

Lin Qisheng was stunned when he heard Lin Suqing's words: "Huh? After I said that last night, my parents didn't feel strange at all."

Zhou Ruxin said from the side: "Su Qing, don't worry, you just mentioned it casually at the beginning, the old man may have forgotten it long ago."

Lin Suqing thought for a while: "Impossible. A few days ago, the weather turned cold. I bought a woolen scarf for my parents and sent it back. Then I called my mother to confirm the delivery. She asked again Ruxin's matter. By the way, now that I think about it, my mother's tone was always a little weird that day. She asked me several times, how is that person treating me well? She still had to ask me what that person's name is. I'm afraid If Ruxin's name is mentioned, Mom will definitely feel that something is wrong, Zhou Ruxin, it sounds like a woman's name, so I don't say anything."

Hearing what she said, Lin Qisheng felt even more uncertain: "But when I said that yesterday, my parents really didn't ask a single word. Oh, I did. They probably asked me if the people in Huacheng eat well. Light, I thought they should be thinking about how to treat Ru Xin well, so I didn't think about anything else, so I told them that the people in Huacheng really eat light food and don't eat spicy food."

Zhou Ruxin saw that the two brothers and sisters had big heads, and she was still a little entangled, but she suddenly calmed down: "Brother, Su Qing, I think it's better to go home and have a face-to-face interview than the three of us here and here. That's right."

Then he declared again to Lin Suqing: "If my parents kick me out, then I will just find a place to live in this town. You can still come to see me anytime. Well, no matter how angry my parents are, they won't throw you away." Lock it up?"

Both Lin Suqing and Lin Qisheng laughed: "That's not true. Since we were young, no matter how big mistakes we made, our parents never beat us, let alone imprison us."

"That's good. No matter what happens later, I think we only need one principle." Zhou Ruxin said.

"What principle?" Lin Suqing and Lin Qisheng looked at her together.

"Don't make your parents sick." Zhou Ruxin even said this with a smile.

Well, Lin Qisheng was extremely jealous of Lin Suqing at this moment, his sister's vision of finding women was much better than his own.

So the three of them discussed it, and seeing that it was almost noon, they hurriedly dragged their luggage home.

While walking, Lin Qisheng asked, "Su Qing, what did you bring back with these two big boxes?"

Lin Suqing smiled: "Brother, these are all bought by Ruxin, gifts for parents, gifts for brother and sister-in-law, and gifts for little nephews, etc. I have been choosing for a long time."

When Lin Qisheng heard this, he looked at Lin Suqing, winked and said, "Hey, isn't this the way a new son-in-law comes to the door?"

Zhou Ruxin blushed when she heard it, remembering the joke between the two of them the night before, thinking that Lin Suqing would refute her brother's words,

Unexpectedly, Lin Suqing nodded generously: "It was the new son-in-law who came to the door. By the way, brother, you didn't even prepare a red envelope for Ruxin, did you?"

Lin Qisheng said "tsk tsk" twice: "Suqing, you have been in the city for so many years that you have even forgotten the rules of the country. Isn't the new son-in-law here to give a gift? Why do you ask your brother-in-law for a red envelope? ah?"

Lin Suqing wanted to talk nonsense with her brother. Seeing that Zhou Ruxin beside her was already blushing uncomfortably, she pulled her sleeve to signal not to continue talking. Well, Lin Suqing stopped talking with a smile, but thought in her heart: "My family Ru Xin isn't the new son-in-law coming, it's obviously the new daughter-in-law coming, cough, bro, you naturally have to prepare red envelopes."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the house. No matter how calm Zhou Ruxin was, she looked at the two old people who were clearly coming to greet her at the door. She couldn't hide the tension in her heart. Sweat dripped from my palms.

Don't talk about her, brother and sister Lin Qisheng and Lin Suqing are not nervous, after all, it is the parents of the closest relatives who are going to deceive.Seeing the three approaching, Lin's mother happily walked over first: "Suqing, you are finally here, um, why did Qisheng happen to be together?"

Lin Qisheng dragged the suitcase in his hand into the house, and turned his head to talk to his mother with a smile: "When Suqing and the others arrived, I happened to be in town, so we came back together."

Father Lin looked at Mother Lin holding Su Qing's hand with a happy face, hesitated for a moment, and greeted his daughter with a smile: "Su Qing, you haven't introduced any guests to your parents yet?"

Lin Suqing hurriedly brought Zhou Ruxin who was beside her to her parents: "Dad, Mom, this is Mrs. Zhou Ruxin Zhou. Well, I should have told you about the others yesterday."

Zhou Ru made up his mind, tried his best to behave more naturally, and looked at the two old people with a smile: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm here to disturb you for a few days."

Mother Lin held Su Qing in one hand and Ru Xin in the other, walking into the house and saying: "If you say no to disturb, Ru Xin is too polite, isn't this all a family, where is the trouble. "

Turning to look at Papa Lin who was still outside the house in a daze: "His dad, come in for dinner soon."

There was a big table in the room, full of dishes. Obviously, what Lin Qisheng said was right, Lin's father and Lin's mother really prepared to entertain Zhou Ruxin.

After everyone sat down, they always felt that there were fewer people at the banquet. Finally, Lin Suqing asked, "Hey, brother, where are the sister-in-law and nephews?"

Lin Qisheng smiled: "Isn't it a holiday now? The little guys are arguing to go to grandparents' house to play, so your sister-in-law took them back there last night. I guess they will play until the holiday is over."

Lin Suqing pretended to be regretful and sighed angrily: "Hey, it's rare that Ruxin bought a lot of gifts for the little ones, and I can only unwrap them when they come back."

Father Lin listened, smiled, and wanted to say something, but for some reason he didn't say anything.At this time, Mother Lin served the meal and began to greet everyone to eat.Mama Lin's cooking skills are good, at least Zhou Ruxin thought it was delicious, so she praised Mama Lin's cooking skills very seriously: "Auntie, your cooking is really delicious."

Hearing what she said, Lin Suqing couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She was afraid that her mother would really believe her brother's lies, so she asked casually, "So Ruxin, is your mother's handicraft good?" Anyway, deep down in her heart is actually Those who don't want to lie to their parents, besides, the death of both parents has always been the deepest pain in Ru Xin's heart.

However, after hearing this, Mother Lin didn't ask any questions, she just put a few more chopsticks into Ru Xin's bowl: "It's delicious, then Ru Xin, you should eat more."

Seeing that Zhou Ruxin obediently ate up all the dishes she had picked up, Mother Lin couldn't help but smiled happily, and while casting a sideways glance at Lin Suqing, she said, "It's better for Ruxin, who is like Qing, who despises the meals made by mother all day long?" It's not delicious, all these years, except for a few days during the Chinese New Year, I never see her come home. Hey, Ru Xin, just tell Mom what kind of food you like, and Mom will make it for you. "

Hearing this, Lin Qisheng and Lin Suqing were stunned. Father Lin glanced at his old wife and coughed a few times. Mother Lin looked at her and hurriedly said: "Hey, Ru Xin, look, anyway We will be a family sooner or later, is it okay for you to call me mom like Suqing?"

Zhou Ruxin looked at the old man in front of her, her smiling eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Suqing's. There was a little bit of anxiety and hesitation in the eyes that looked at her, but the most obvious thing was distress, which was obviously a mother looking at him. The eyes of his beloved daughter.

Suddenly, Zhou Ruxin felt that she didn't bother to worry about anything. This is just a mother who loves her daughter. If we can't even trust our own mother, who else can we trust?

She put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, looked at Mama Lin peacefully, and called softly: "Mom."

When Mama Lin heard this call, she couldn't help it for a moment, hugged her in her arms, and replied, "My good boy, I have suffered for you all these years."
