Chapter 46

I don't know how Zhang Lin persuaded Mr. Zhang that night, and I don't know if the old man talked to Zhang Lin that night. Anyway, Xu Hanwen and Li Yiran went to bed after going upstairs to wash and comb. Fortunately, Zhang Lin took their mother and daughter Bring a change of clothes.

The next day Xu Hanwen got up very early, and when she finished washing, she heard a light knock on the door.

"You woke up so early, it seems that you didn't sleep well last night, and you have dark circles under your eyes." Zhang Lin carefully looked at Xu Hanwen who gently closed the door.

"Well, it's nothing. It's just that it might be a nightmare. I keep punching and kicking. That's probably why I haven't had a good rest. It's okay."

"Then why don't you sleep more? It's still early!"

"Are you going to go for a run?" Looking at Zhang Lin's sportswear, Xu Hanwen knew that he had the habit of running in the morning since he was a child.

"Well, do you want to be together? Of course, there should be a while before I wake up."

"Okay, I really want to feel the chill of the northern capital on a winter morning. I'm going to put on a coat."

Xu Hanwen entered the room, tucked the quilt for her daughter, put on her coat and gloves, and went for a run with Zhang Lin.

It was a cloudy day today, and the morning in Beidu was much colder than that in N City. Xu Hanwen couldn't help shivering just after coming out of the heated house. Zhang Lin helped her put on a coat, hat and gloves, and the two started running side by side.

"Grandpa is okay."

"It's okay. He also rested not long after you went up to rest. He is old, and it has become a habit to get up early and go to bed early. Isn't it now that Uncle Chen is walking with him, and he has to go out for half an hour on a cold day. " Zhang Lin pointed to the two people walking towards them in the mist ahead.

Xu Hanwen cast her eyes forward, and it was really Mr. Zhang and Uncle Chen.

"Morning, Grandpa! Morning, Uncle Chen!" Xu Hanwen and Zhang Lin stopped to greet them almost at the same time.

"Morning, morning, morning, keep running, we're going back slowly!" The old man waved to them.

When Zhang Lin and Xu Hanwen ran into the distance, the old man looked at their figures walking side by side, and nodded secretly to Uncle Chen, the smile on his face deepened, and there was a hint of comfort in his eyes.

While running, Xu Hanwen asked about the jasper pendant given by the old man. It turned out that the jasper pendant was given to the old lady by the old man. Only when it was time would he take it out and chatter at the jade pendant, as if telling his wife what was on his mind.

That's why when everyone heard that the old man gave Li Yiran this jade pendant as a meeting gift, their reactions would be so extraordinary.

"Then how can I accept it? It's too expensive!" Xu Hanwen exclaimed.

"Since it was given by grandpa, then Ranran can take it. You can rest assured that Grandpa will be careful." Zhang Lin knew from the time his grandpa gave Ranran the jade pendant that his grandpa had completely agreed with him and the marriage, but he didn't know why for a while. , and didn't point it out to Xu Hanwen, but he believed that with Xu Hanwen's intelligence, he could definitely figure it out.

When Zhang Lin and Xu Hanwen came back from running half an hour later, they happened to see Li Yiran nestled in the arms of Mr. Zhang. The old and the young were talking about something. watch.The scene is warm and harmonious, full of fun.

After everyone sat around and had breakfast, Zhang Lin's parents were ready to go to the company. Zhang Lin's father did not go into official career, but the husband and wife opened a small company. Every day, the husband and wife went in and out together. , the love is still the same as before, and they are really an enviable pair of gods and couples.

Watching the figure of his youngest son and his wife going away together, the old man turned his eyes back to Zhang Lin.

"Xiaolin, it's time for you to go to work. Hand over the remaining work early, and you can have a safe and secure Spring Festival. Xiaowen, mother and daughter, will stay with me, the old man, today."

"This……"

"Why? Worried about your grandpa?" The old man was a little angry when he saw his grandson Qi Qi Ai Ai's expression of reluctance.

"Zhang Lin, go to work quickly. It's windy outside today and there's no sun. It's really no fun. Let me and Ranran stay at home and chat with grandpa." Xu Hanwen helped Zhang Lin get his coat, dressed him properly, and Carefully caressing the wrinkles on the clothes, pushing him to go outside, secretly beckoning him to rest assured.

"Old Chen, take Ranran to play in the game room, Xiaowen, let's go to the study to talk." Seeing Zhang Lin being sent out of the house by Xu Hanwen, the old man gave orders as he heard him drive away.

Although the entertainment room has a lot of fun, yesterday Zhang Congxiao took their children upstairs to the entertainment room, but Li Yiran was still a little worried about her mother, so she didn't want to go upstairs.

Xu Hanwen looked at her daughter tenderly, gave her a reassuring look, and motioned to go upstairs with Grandpa Chen.

The old man just pretended that he didn't see the interaction between their mother and daughter. After seeing Li Yiran go upstairs, Xu Hanwen helped him into the study.

This study is about 40 square meters. Except for the door, there are no bookshelves. Except for a window, the other three sides are all covered with bookshelves. The bookshelves are full of neat books.

A large desk is placed in the middle of the study room, behind the desk is a comfortable boss chair, there are two single sofas in the room, between the sofas is an antique coffee table, on the coffee table is a set of Go.

The old man motioned for Xu Hanwen to help her to sit on the sofa. Xu Hanwen waited for the old man to sit down, then went out to make a pot of tea, poured the tea for the old man, and then sat down on another sofa.

"Can Xiaowen play Go?"

"I don't know how. Zhang Lin once taught me, but I just can't learn it." Xu Hanwen was very embarrassed.

"Really? It's not that you can't learn it, but that you don't have the heart to learn it."

"Ha ha……"

"Xiaowen, if I ask you to leave Xiaolin, will you agree?" The old man suddenly expressed his request to Xu Hanwen in a serious tone.

"Grandpa, please forgive me! I can't promise! Unless Zhang Lin personally tells me that I want to let him go, no one will let me go for any reason. This is my promise to Zhang Lin!"

"Even if I tell you that your existence will affect Xiaolin's future, you won't give up?"

"Grandpa, I don't know why my existence will affect Zhang Lin's future, but I know that if I let go, then Zhang Lin's life will become bleak from now on, and there will be no happiness to speak of."

"You mean that Xiao Lin will not be happy without you? You really have to have the confidence to give Xiao Lin happiness."

"Happiness is not what I give, but what we both create and maintain. As long as we support each other, love each other, and cherish each other, then happiness will come to us. Grandpa, please believe Hanwen's love for Zhang Lin's heart."

"Then why didn't you agree to Xiaolin back then, but..." The old man still didn't intend to let her go.

"Grandpa, to tell you the truth, I was attracted to Zhang Lin at the beginning, but I was born in a farming family. Compared with Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin is far away from him. Zhang Lin is really unattainable to me. When I knew Zhang Lin's When I was born, I had low self-esteem, so before Zhang Lin fully confessed to me, I ran away from him."

"Now there is still a big gap between you and Xiao Lin." The old man looked at Xu Hanwen.

"I admit it! Maybe the gap between me and Zhang Lin is bigger than when I was in college, but ten years have passed, and Zhang Lin's affection for me has never changed. This is the reason why I can't feel inferior and escape. Zhang Lin's eyes and heart are beautiful and unique. If I run away again, I will feel sorry for Zhang Lin."

The old man stopped talking, but just looked at Xu Hanwen with piercing eyes, and Xu Hanwen also looked directly at the old man. At this time, Xu Hanwen was not timid or flinched.

After a while, the old man stopped talking and didn't look at Xu Hanwen, but leaned on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.

"I heard from Xiao Lin that you bought three houses in N City after receiving the compensation from the Qian family?" It took a long time like this, until Xu Hanwen thought the old man had fallen asleep, and suddenly the old man asked.

"Oh... ah... yes." Xu Hanwen almost didn't turn the corner, and the span of the question was too big.

"How did you think of buying a house?"

"After getting that money, I was thinking, that money seems to be a lot. Considering the current standard of living in N City, even if I don't work, it should be enough for us mother and daughter to live comfortably for decades. But People must have long-term considerations without near-term worries, and the current price is on the rise, and maybe it will be nothing in just a few years."

"Isn't there interest in depositing in the bank? You can also speculate in stocks."

"It's safe to put money in the bank and earn interest, but the interest rate in the bank is really low, and it shouldn't keep up with the rise in prices. And if I put the money in the stock market, I don't have the brains to speculate. If I am not careful, I may lose all my money. return."

"Then there is a guarantee for buying a house?"

"As for the house, I think the country is canceling the welfare housing allocation, so ordinary people have to buy their own houses. With such a large population in our country, there are more people who want to buy houses. After that, there should be a relatively large room for housing prices to rise. , I don’t want to make a fortune through this house, I just hope to prepare a study fund for my daughter.”

"Then what is the purpose of the facade house presented by Lin Yu?" It seems that nothing can be hidden from the old man's eyes.

"That house, I didn't want it at the beginning, it was just because I put forward some opinions on the house developed by Mr. Lin's company, and Mr. Lin felt that my opinions and suggestions were of great economic value, so he proposed to use his personal Give me a front room in name." Xu Hanwen explained the origin of this gift.

"You are the person Xiaolin chooses to marry. If you also regard Xiaolin as the person who will live together in the future, then you must think clearly about what you can do and what you can't do. Xiaolin is pursuing an official career. You can't ruin his future just because of some petty profits." The old man obviously disapproved of this facade gift.

"Grandpa, I understand. I will take care of this matter when I return to N City."

"You are a smart person. You have been smart and sensible since you were a child. Grandpa has nothing to say about your marriage with Xiao Lin. No one can change what Xiao Lin believes. If you let Grandpa choose between you and Xiao Tingting In terms of helping Xiaolin, Xiao Tingting must be the best. She not only helps Xiaolin's career, but also greatly benefits the future of his uncle's cousins. This is why his uncle was so angry yesterday ; but Grandpa wants him to be happy more, and with Xiaolin's personal ability, there is no need to sacrifice his happiness and use marriage to ensure his smooth career."

"Thank you grandpa for not objecting to my marriage with Zhang Lin. Although Hanwen is dull, she still knows the powerful relationship."
