The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 316 The twisted melon is not sweet
In the simple one-story house, it seemed very cramped because there were two more guests at once.

If there were not enough chairs, boxes of clothes and books were brought in to make do with it.

As soon as Caiwei entered the house, she was busy tidying up and cleaning.

Seeing that Lin Yitang's changed clothes were still on the floor, she quietly picked them up in the basin and took them outside to wash.

"Eat first, I'll come back after I wash my clothes, just leave some food."

Laundry is a reason.More importantly, she thought that Mr. Lin must have a lot to say after not seeing his nephew for so long, so she had better avoid it for the time being so as not to disturb them.

Jianhua works at the newspaper office and can't come back until evening, so only the four members of the Lin family sit at the table together.

Li Yan washed his hands, and put the bowls and chopsticks one by one: "Major General, I haven't cooked for a long time, you and Miss have a taste."

Lin Yitang lowered his head in embarrassment: "His cooking skills are very good. I haven't learned how to cut vegetables yet, and the cabbage is cut into long pieces and short pieces. It pulled Li Yan's hind legs."

Lin Mi glanced at him incredulously, thinking: "When did my cousin become humble and diligent?"

Looking at the dishes on the table, she quietly approached her father and said:
"Dad, today's lunch is really delicious!"

This was an extremely ordinary lunch, but it moved the people who had lost their homes.

A pot of stewed tofu with cabbage, a plate of fried peanuts, a bowl of fried vegetarian meatballs, and a bowl of scrambled eggs.

Although they are all very simple home-cooked dishes, Li Yan was raised by Li Yan, a cook soldier, and helped in the kitchen until the age of 12. He also cooks with great care, and the natural aroma is overflowing.

Lin Mi just wanted to ask Li Yan for bowls and chopsticks to save food for Caiwei, but found that Lin Yitang had already brought an empty plate.

He quietly kept the dishes, put them in an iron pot with residual heat and covered them, and did it very carefully.

Mr. Lin looked at his nephew calmly.

As soon as he entered the door, he had keenly noticed that the way Yitang looked at his daughter was not the same as before, without the strong possessiveness and attachment.

Now he seems to be a different person.Wearing a simple pair of blue coarse cloth clothes, no longer picky about clothes and food, willing to help Li Yan, and taking the initiative to care for a woman.

The mistake is that this woman is someone else's child.

In this way, Mr. Lin is not calm.Marriage is not a child's play, since the invitation to the wedding banquet has been sent out in public, and they are officially engaged, Lin Yitang is his son-in-law, and no one can deny the fact that it is certain.

Since Caiwei, an outsider, was not present, the elders would naturally seize the opportunity to teach them a lesson.

"Cough," Mr. Lin waited for his nephew to return to his seat, and impatiently began to "beat":
"Yitang, how long have you lived here?"

"There's only one bed here, how do you guys sleep?"

As soon as Li Yan heard it, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The major general dared to intervene in housework, so he hurriedly left his seat:

"I'm still boiling a pot of water outside, I have to check it out."

Yitang is straightforward and never hides from his family members.

When my uncle asked this question, he said:

"Caiwei sleeps on the bed at night, and Jianhua, Li Yan and I are huddled together on the floor."

"Oh," Mr. Lin continued to ask: "Did you think of your daughter-in-law these days?"

Yitang didn't know what was going on, and answered truthfully: "Uncle, I just escaped from prison for three days, my mind is very messed up, and I don't have the heart to think about it"

Mr. Lin was angry and anxious when he heard this, and threw the chopsticks in his hand into the bowl: "Three men and one woman live in the same room, how decent! How did our Lin family educate you? If this matter spreads to the family , me and your parents are ashamed to face people"

Seeing his father lose his temper, Lin Mi was afraid that his internal injuries would worsen, so he quickly intervened:

"Father, we are all unmarried men and women, and my cousin is forced to squeeze together because of the poor conditions. They don't want to do this either."

Mr. Lin became even angrier when he saw his daughter saying such non-itchy and non-painful words. He pointed at her nose and said, "Mi'er, you still call me cousin? He is your husband!"

Lin Mi blushed, she didn't know whether it was anger or embarrassment, she removed her father's finger from the tip of her nose, and said loudly:

"My cousin and I don't even have a marriage certificate, so it doesn't count if we sign up for a banquet!"

"Twisted melons are not sweet, and bondage cannot make a husband and wife!"

Lin Mi's voice was loud and clear, not only Li Yan, who was pretending to watch the boiling water, but also Cai Wei, who was really pounding the clothes, could hear clearly.

Mr. Lin was dumbfounded by his daughter's choking.

Lin Yitang, who was silent on the side, finally found an opportunity to be honest with Mr. Lin:
"Uncle, I have been in prison these days, my mind is not broken, and I have figured out a lot of things."

"At the beginning, you and my parents engaged me and Mi Mi mainly because the Lin family's surname would not be broken."

"I like Mimi, but the person in her heart is not me."

"In the past few months in Beiping, I often lost my mind due to jealousy and anger, and had trouble sleeping and eating like a crazy animal. I have had enough of this kind of life."

"I have seen Dr. Zhang's girlfriend come to visit the prison. The relationship between them is really stronger than gold. I am very envious. I am satisfied with this kind of love, even if I have only one day and die immediately."

Li Yan listened so engrossed that he was almost scalded by the boiling water in the pot.

Caiwei burst into tears when she heard that, afraid of being seen, she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped it off with a handkerchief.

Mr. Lin was stunned for a moment after listening, and finally nodded.

"Since neither of you wants this marriage, I have nothing to say. Come, everyone, come in and sit down and eat!"

Lin Yitang saw that his uncle's attitude was quite open-minded, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

He was only 19 years old, and he was coaxed into the army by his uncle at a young age, almost all men.Boys at this age should focus more on exploring the world and taking risks, rather than wasting too much time on their children.

Lin Mixu is only fourteen years old.Because he took the initiative to tease Gu Qilan ignorantly on the first night of their acquaintance, he has a little more experience in love than Yitang.Ever since she met Qilan, she had decided that he was the only one.After experiencing these twists and turns, on the contrary, I have become more and more independent.

When his daughter dared to face-to-face debate with her father about her relationship, Mr. Lin understood an old adage: a girl doesn’t stay in college.

Li Yan and Caiwei were afraid that the three of them would be too awkward sitting, so they put down their work tacitly, and walked in one after the other to take their seats.

Lin Yitang took the initiative to go to the pot and brought the food left for her.

He put the plate in front of the flattered Caiwei, "The temperature is not too cold. Eat quickly."

Before going out in the morning, Jianhua specifically told her that her sister was about to take the exam and her body was very weak, so she must never eat cold food, so as not to get sick and affect her review.

Lin Yitang has been in the army for a long time, so he will naturally take the advice of his old friend as an order, and he is quite careful.

Li Yan saw that Lin Mi didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, so he quickly reminded Mr. Lin softly: "Pick some of Miss's favorite food."
