Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 103: No rush to meet parents yet

"In short, if you look at the situation of our family, I am confident that things will be better in the future, but it is indeed not going well at the moment."

After Li Muyang explained his situation, he did not try to hide it at all and made a sincere summary.

After hearing this, Lin Xiuli's expression didn't change much. She slowly tore up the remaining half of the pot helmet and soaked it in the mutton soup. She asked with a smile: "You all know that your family's conditions are not good, how dare you Are you anxious to ask someone to go on a blind date, are you afraid that others will look down on you?"

Li Muyang smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I haven't dated anyone for a long time. If I hadn't met you last time, I might have been a bachelor for the rest of my life."

"Pfft, you're here again. I think you look quite honest. Why do you speak so glibly?"

Li Muyang shook his head.

"If you don't take every word I say as a joke, but believe that it comes from the most sincere meaning in my heart, will you still think it's glib?"

Lin Xiuli was slightly startled and lowered her head to think.

He pursed his lips and smiled, "This is another equally glib statement."

Li Muyang didn't flinch, "If it is true, then I can at least guarantee that if you marry into my family and have such a "glib tongue", I will only speak to you in my life.

"Who would believe..."

Lin Xiuli's face felt slightly hot.

She felt that it was a bit difficult to resist the man opposite her.

He was very talkative and always did things to make her happy. This was different from the blind date process she had seen before.

In the past, everyone would sit down, and soon they would look at each other favorably, and they would immediately get involved in the most primitive requirements for betrothal gifts and wedding leave.

It's not like them, who talked for a long time and didn't get to the point.

"What are you thinking?"

Li Muyang asked softly after seeing her silence for a long time.

"Ah... oh, nothing."

"Then why don't you say anything? What do you think of what I just said?"

"No opinion."

Lin Xiuli subconsciously replied, but she felt a little regretful when she said it.

Compared with Li Muyang's frankness and straightforwardness, she seemed a little less enthusiastic, mainly because she was really inexperienced and didn't know how to deal with this situation.

According to what is said in novels and movies, if a man expresses affection for a woman, the woman cannot directly agree.In other words, at least you can't agree readily, otherwise it will make men feel that women are easily available and they don't know how to cherish them.

Usually at this time, even if you don't have any opinions in your heart, you have to deliberately pretend to be still thinking, and you need to be more reserved.

She had to wait for the man to take the initiative many times before reluctantly agreeing.

In this way, men will cherish hard-won feelings more.

Therefore, she subconsciously adopted this "trick".

However, she did not expect that her move would be completely useless in front of Li Muyang.

When she was still reserved, Li Muyang heard her words and smiled directly: "Then you agree?"

"Ah... Agreed... Who agrees..."

"Just agree," Li Muyang took over. "The only thing left is to meet the parents. You can see when it's convenient. I'll go see the elders and then finalize the date."

"and many more……"

Lin Xiuli shook her head repeatedly. What she wanted to say just now was, who agreed, but before she could say anything, she was cut off by Li Muyang.

He was good at cutting, and he just cut right after the word "agree".

The second half of her rhetorical question was left unsaid.

"You said wait a minute, because you are not in a hurry to see the two elders for the time being?"

"I……"

Lin Xiuli felt that her brain was a bit lacking, and her mouth suddenly became clumsy.

It seemed that Li Muyang said a lot before she said anything.

If she doesn't agree, that's not the case.

But if he agrees, he doesn’t seem to want to just accept it so easily.

She was always looking for a more suitable way of expression, but Li Muyang always said what he said directly.

There is absolutely no way to resist it.

No.

If this continues, she will be completely defeated and will have no right to make suggestions.

"Well...Li Muyang, I think differently from you."

Li Muyang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, what do you think?"

"Hmm... what should I say?" Lin Xiuli gently stirred the mutton soup in the bowl with her chopsticks again. The pieces of pot helmet and chopped coriander and green onion were stirred into a turbulent flow by the chopsticks, and they rotated gently with the chopsticks.

"I think it is not an easy matter for two people to get along together, at least it cannot be solved by just meeting once. We still need more contact and understanding.

For example, we must at least know each other's shortcomings and advantages, whether we can accept or tolerate the shortcomings, and whether we can continue to maintain the advantages.

I always feel that it must be difficult for two strangers to suddenly live in the same home.It’s not like we moved from two homes to live under one roof and became a family directly.

I don’t know if you can understand my thoughts. If you don’t understand, I don’t blame you. I also think that this kind of thinking would seem a bit vain when told to others, but that’s what I think in my heart..."

After Lin Xiuli said a lot, she glanced at Li Muyang's eyes. She was worried that Li Muyang's eyes showed surprise, surprise, and even disdain. In that case, she would be at a loss.

Maybe he will give an explanation and adjust his thinking slightly, which means bowing to reality.

Or maybe, just throw down the mutton soup and turn around and leave.

After all, she was the first to say such shocking words, and she couldn't blame anyone else.However, she saw no disdain or disgust in Li Muyang's eyes.

There are indeed some surprises.

But the surprise was fleeting.

He said inexplicably: "It turns out they are indeed not different."

"Um, what did you say?"

"Oh, I think what you said is very reasonable and well said. Living a life for two people is indeed just like what you said. It involves a lot of issues. How can we live together? It's not like we're just pairing up a chicken. You can just find anyone."

Li Muyang nodded, "I understand what you mean. I'm not in a hurry. We still have enough time to get to know each other. After we get to know each other, you can decide whether you want to live with me."

"Can you really understand my thoughts?"

Lin Xiuli was surprised, very surprised.

Just ask back.

Li Muyang thought that if they were on a blind date in his previous life, he would not understand it. At that time, he was just a poor boy who had never seen the world.

But now, he has seen a freer love model.

In comparison, Lin Xiuli's need for mutual understanding is just the most primitive state of free love.

Of course he can.

What he was curious about was that when he was on a blind date with Lin Xiuli in his previous life, she was not like this, and she did not raise this awareness of free love.

Now two years ahead of the previous timeline, she is younger and has completely different ideas than two years later.

Does this mean that her character has undergone a huge transformation within two years?

I don’t know what setbacks she suffered that made her completely transform from a young woman who was biased towards literature and art into a good wife and mother.

This is a variable.

The meaning of what Li Muyang blurted out when he heard Lin Xiuli's thoughts just now was that he didn't expect that Lin Xiuli also had a side that he didn't understand.

So for all these years, has she not expressed her true thoughts for the sake of her family, husband and children?

And Li Muyang himself, because of the high pressure in life, has never seriously communicated with his wife about his inner affairs.

He didn't know that maybe behind his wife's virtuousness, there were many unspeakable things suppressed.

And these things might be the reasons for her early death.

A person will hide things in his heart all his life and be under great pressure, and he will definitely become depressed and ill.

Getting sick is a completely normal thing.

"I can accept it. Your ideas are consistent with mine in some aspects."

"Really?"

Lin Xiuli was in disbelief.

"I won't lie to you." Li Muyang's attitude was gentle.

Lin Xiuli breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a stone suddenly fall to the ground.

"That's good. I thought you would be angry and turn around and leave after I said such words."

"No, I will at least wait until you finish eating and pay for the mutton soup."

"Pfft, you're here again."

After Li Muyang's small naughty words, the short-term depressed atmosphere between the two of them was gone.

Lin Xiuli ate several mouthfuls of mutton dip and drank a mouthful of mutton soup.

"Li Muyang, besides farming, do you do anything else on weekdays?"

"I don't know what kind of thing you are referring to. Apart from farming, my greatest pleasure is playing with fruit trees. I like to watch the fruit trees I cultivated produce delicious and beautiful fruits, which gives me a sense of satisfaction."

"Oh."

Lin Xiuli smiled and did not continue.

But there was a slight hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Li Muyang naturally saw this kind of loss. He immediately knew what his wife was missing, so he added, "If it rains and we can't do anything outside, then I will read at home..."

"Really, can you really read?"

Li Muyang suppressed his embarrassment and said against his will: "Well, I also like reading, but my family was poor when I was a child. I haven't read for a few years and I don't know a few Chinese characters. It seems very difficult."

When he said this, he smiled slightly and said, "I can't understand many books. If you don't know the words, you can use a dictionary to look them up. But if I still can't understand a few words together, then there's nothing I can do."

When Li Muyang was illiterate at first, he was still making some excuses, but later on, it became a real psychology.

He had experienced many embarrassments due to lack of culture in his previous life.

For example, when I buy something, I can’t understand the instructions, and my children write letters, but there are not many circles of Chinese characters on the letter paper.

What was even more difficult was that he went out of town to take a train to see his children. When he arrived at the train station, he didn't know how to get on the train. He wanted to ask someone else, and he couldn't speak Mandarin.

I almost missed the train several times.

So when his children later wanted him to live elsewhere, he found it troublesome and even a little afraid.

Big cities are not like rural areas. The place is small and everything is very clear.

In a big city, without culture, it is sometimes difficult to move forward.

　Play, here is a dialect word, which probably means tinkering. The tone is also different. Both words are pronounced in four tones.Special reminder to avoid misunderstanding.
