Chapter 231 Withered
"Please tell me!"
Lin Shaohua made a respectful gesture.
Qiao Guoxing waved his hand again and said: "Shaohua, let me tell you the truth. I have regarded you as my son-in-law, no matter what you think, so don't call me by any official name in the future. Just call me if you want."
Dad, if you don’t want to, just call me uncle!”
Lin Shaohua smiled awkwardly. Qiao Guoxing was very resourceful. What was there that he couldn't figure out? Naturally, he had already figured out all his details.
Seeing that Lin Shaohua was silent, Qiao Guoxing also sighed and said: "Shaohua, let's not talk about this topic for the time being. I believe that if things happen naturally, or success happens naturally, let's just let nature take its course!"
After saying that, he smiled bitterly again, and then said after a while: "What are your plans in the future?"
Lin Shaohua shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I don't have any plans. I used to want to work hard, buy a house in Jiangcheng, and earn money to marry a wife. But now, I can easily get a sum of money that I can't use up. Instead, I
Without sex, I just want to live a happy life, and the last thing I want to do is get involved in the struggle for fame, wealth and power..."
"That's good!" Qiao Guoxing nodded, but then shook his head and said, "But I see, it's hard for you to escape from this circle, but try to avoid Vanity Fair. It turns out that I wanted Zhenyu to be successful, but I hated it at that time.
Steel, but now I think he is not bad, at least I don’t have to worry about him in the future, whether he is framed or someone takes advantage of him, and besides, you are watching from the side, so I feel more at ease!"
After thinking about it, Qiao Guoxing took another piece of paper and wrote a number, then handed it to Lin Shaohua: "Shaohua, write down this number and call me when necessary. This is my independent line. No.
There will be delays!”
"good!"
Lin Shaohua did not refuse this. He took the piece of paper and carefully put it into his pocket. Qiao Guoxing was giving him safety guarantee and he would call him if there was any special emergency.
Qiao Guoxing held Lin Shaohua's hand again and said solemnly: "Shaohua, I will hand over Xiaoyi and Zhenyu to you!"
Lin Shaohua still did not refuse, nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Qiao, I will take care of their safety as my own relatives, and I will do my best!"
Qiao Guoxing could tell that there was something wrong in Lin Shaohua's words, but he was satisfied with Lin Shaohua's answer.
Then he stood up and patted Lin Shaohua on the shoulder: "Let's go downstairs. Xiaoyi is afraid that she will be impatient because she is afraid that I will offend you!"
To be honest, An Yi was really thinking so wildly that she was afraid that her father would give Lin Shaohua a look, but when she saw the two people coming downstairs with smiles on their faces, she felt relieved.
When eating, Qiao Guoxing called Sister-in-law Wu to eat together. In this family, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. We are all one family.
"Shaohua, eat more food!" Qiao Guoxing said to Lin Shaohua, and then asked An Yi: "Is your brother okay during this time?"
An Yi laughed and said: "Dad, my brother is chasing my sister-in-law!"
"Oh?" Qiao Guoxing suddenly became interested, put down his chopsticks, and asked her, "Does he have a girlfriend?"
Lin Shaohua quickly said: "Uncle Qiao, he...his girlfriend is a relative of mine. She is a very good girl. Apart from her status, there is nothing wrong with her..."
Without thinking, Qiao Guoxing smiled and waved his hands and said: "As long as he likes it, it would be better if he is a relative of Shaohua. We are getting closer. Haha, it's good. Well, yes.
If you have the chance, ask him to bring the girl back and let me see. As long as both parties are fine, it’s time to get married. She’s not too young now!”
"Dad..." Anyi knew that her brother had dated girlfriends before, but her father was very obstructive, so it was difficult for her brother to act according to his own ideas. And now, she felt that her father would probably block her brother's affair with Xiaoqing.
But what she didn't expect was that her father actually agreed immediately, which made her more and more curious. Is this her father?
Lin Shaohua was also relieved. Qiao Guoxing had passed this test. Even if there was really no obstacle to the matter between Qiao Zhenyu and Xiao Qing, to be honest, he had always been worried about Xiao Qing and brought her back from a remote place.
We really have the same affection as brothers and sisters, so we always think about her life-long events.
Now I am really relieved. Qiao Zhenyu is my brother and I can trust his character. Besides, I will still look after him in the future.
This meal was not a sumptuous delicacy, but it was heartwarming.
Qiao Guoxing's illness was eradicated, and the knot between his son and his daughter was lifted. He also made friends with Lin Shaohua, a stranger whom he had known for many years, which was a job that doubled his confidence.
On the way back, Anyi asked Lin Shaohua: "What kind of business did my father discuss with you?"
An Yi didn't believe it when he said it was "business". After the last time he went back, Lin Shaohua didn't do anything at all, even if he said something like that, but looking at the expressions on his and his father's faces, it was a pleasure for both the host and the guest.
It seems that logically speaking, the negotiation should be concluded, right?
Therefore, Anyi felt that her father and Lin Shaohua were not discussing business.
Lin Shaohua smiled and said, "It's about your brother and sister-in-law!"
"Bah, no!" An Yi denied it in one breath and hummed: "I only mentioned that to my dad when he was having dinner. That's when my dad knew that this was the case. You told him earlier then
After we finished talking, you still lied to me!"
"Oh, really?" Lin Shaohua was startled, then said: "Then I misremembered, your father said he wanted to find you a sister-in-law!"
An Yi couldn't help but said angrily: "You can just talk nonsense..." After a while, she still couldn't bear to ask: "My dad...he...he never mentioned me?"
Lin Shaohua nodded and said seriously: "I mentioned it!"
An Yi's expression suddenly became serious, she sat upright, and then asked him: "What did you mention...?"
Lin Shaohua also replied seriously: "Your father said that your brother and you are now older, and your brother has a sister-in-law. He asked me to help you find a husband, but unfortunately I am not qualified!"
An Yi knew that Lin Shaohua seemed to be joking and guessed that he was talking nonsense, but she couldn't help but ask again: "What did he say that the conditions are not enough for you?"
Lin Shaohua sighed before replying: "Your father wants to be tall, rich and handsome, over 1.85 meters tall, at least department level. The most important thing is to be serious. You see, I am not good enough for any of them..."
"Bah!" An Yi was sure that Lin Shaohua was talking nonsense when she heard it, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.
After returning home, Lin Shaohua saw Qiao Zhenyu following Xiao Qing like a lapdog. Xiao Qing was obviously still angry about the "raw rice cooked rice" thing, and did not give him a good look.
After thinking about it, Lin Shaohua decided not to say what Qiao Guoxing meant for the time being, and wait until the relationship between Qiao Zhenyu and Xiaoqing eased before saying anything else.
A week later, An Yi completed the resignation procedures and came back to accompany Chen Jingyan and Xiao Qing.
Lin Shaohua didn't care about the company's affairs and devoted himself to studying the Onmyoji manuscripts, especially the medical chapters.
But one day, Lin Shaohua's mood was suddenly disturbed. He received a letter.
In the letter was a photo of Alice, with three words written on the back: "I'm leaving!"
Lin Shaohua was startled for a moment. He had thought of Alice many times, but there had been no news from her for so long. He didn't know why.
He recognized these three characters, because it was awkward to see Alice writing Chinese characters. These three characters were definitely her handwriting.
After thinking about it, he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed her number, but the voice that came over the phone was "The called number has been shut down." Lin Shaohua couldn't help but feel disappointed!
Alice, what happened? Where did she go?
Si'er brought the cardboard box over, glanced at him, and then asked: "Are you thinking about women again?"
Lin Shaohua was startled. He woke up from his thoughts and couldn't help but said: "Little girl, what do you know?"
Si'er snorted and said calmly: "Having more women is not a good thing, right? The blessing of being together is not that easy to enjoy!"
Lin Shaohua glanced at Si'er angrily and amusedly. This girl seemed to have grown taller and plumper. She was far less pale and weak than when he first met her.
However, Lin Shaohua also felt that Si'er's vision seemed to be very sharp, as if she could see through his mind. This girl was actually very smart, perhaps she could be described as a genius, but she didn't study. If she was willing to study,
, I don’t know to what extent it will be.
Look at the paper box in Si'er's hand. There are no mulberry leaves anymore. The silkworms are almost all about two inches in length, and each strip is golden yellow.
"Hey, long time no see, are these silkworms about to spin silk?" Lin Shaohua moved closer and looked at the silkworms.
Si'er nodded and replied: "Yes, the cocoon is about to spin, and it will emerge in half a month. At that time..."
As he spoke, he looked up at the horizon, as if his mind was wandering: "I really look forward to that moment!"
Lin Shaohua laughed and put his hand on her forehead, "Silkworms can spin silk, and when they spin silk, they will form cocoons. After forming cocoons, they will break out of cocoons and turn into moths. This is the rule. What should we expect?"
"What a silly girl!" Lin Shaohua added next.
Seeing that it was not enough time to get off work, Chen Jingyan and Xiao Qing did not come back, so they simply went for a walk in the garden.
But when I walked to the backyard, I saw a large area of grass and trees in the garden dead, and I couldn't help but be surprised!
I hurried over and saw that in a circular area of about fifty or sixty square meters, all the plants, trees and flowers were dead!
I remember that I visited here last week and everything was fine at that time. Why is it so dry after just a few days of absence?
Look again, in this dead area, there are more than a dozen mulberry trees in the middle. More than a dozen mulberry trees have dried up.
Lin Shaohua stepped forward and folded it, and with a crisp "snap" sound, the mulberry tree broke. Looking at the middle position, the branches had dried up to the point of decay and were about to turn into "pink". This was very strange. Generally speaking,
Chapter completed!
