Lin Yuan lay slumped on the bed, thinking of the dream just now, his mind went blank.
At this time, there was a loud noise in the living room, Luo Shuyan's voice was easily identifiable, and he knew that the tour group was back.
Lin Yuan got out of bed, left the bedroom, and came to the living room. He saw his parents, Luo Shuyan, and Zhang Xing just entering the door.
Luo Shuyan saw Lin Yuan and smiled: "Brother, how are you doing alone?"
Lin Yuan knew that he was showing off to her, so he ignored her. Looking at the large and small bags they were holding in their hands, Lin Yuan hurried over to take them.
"Where have you been today?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.
Lin's mother looked tired but had a smile on her face, and said: "Oh, I went to a lot of shopping malls and bought a lot of things."
Lin Yuan couldn't tell what it was from the packaging of the bag. He saw Zhang Xin holding several bags in his hand and quickly took it over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhang Xin."
Zhang Xin smiled and shook his head: "It's not hard, it's quite fun to go shopping with my uncle and aunt."
Luo Shuyan smiled and said: "That's not true. Sister Zhang Xin also bought a lot of things for my aunt and uncle."
"Ah? How can this be so embarrassing?" Lin Yuan said slightly embarrassed.
Zhang Xin said: "It's okay. My uncle and aunt finally came here. I should give them some gifts."
Lin Yuan tasted the meaning of the word "should" and didn't know from what angle to understand it.
Zhang Xin came to the living room and said to Lin's father and mother: "Uncle and aunt, you guys have a rest, I will go back first."
Lin’s mother said: “Daughter, please sit down for a while, I’m very tired.”
"No, I want to go back and take a shower and go to bed first. You guys should also have a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow." He started to walk out.
Lin's mother stood up to send Zhang Xin away, but Lin Yuan stopped her and sent Zhang Xin out himself.
Lin Yuan sent Zhang Xin upstairs and arrived at the door of Zhang Xin's house.
"Thank you very much for today."
Zhang Xin opened the door, stood at the door and said to Lin Yuan: "Thank you, you have helped me so much, this little thing is nothing."
"Anyway, I still want to thank you. Then go to bed early. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."
"You really don't have to be so polite. Why don't you come in and I'll make you a cup of coffee."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's too late. You should go to bed early and drink next time. Good night."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan walked downstairs. Zhang Xin looked at Lin Yuan's back with a complicated expression and closed the door in despair.
After returning home, Lin's mother pulled Lin Yuan to the living room.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Lin Yuan asked, confused.
Mother Lin smiled broadly and said, "Son, this girl is really good. She is tall, beautiful, and sensible. Where can I find such a good girl now?"
"Just say what you want to say!"
Father Lin said: "What your mother means is that you hurry up and take her down."
Mother Lin glared at Father Lin and said angrily: "You crooked old man, why are the words that come out of your mouth so unpleasant? What's the point of taking it off? That girl is interested in our son in the first place. I mean, you just
Forget it, why are you still stretching your arms? Your sister has already told me that she will go abroad for two years, so we are not afraid. You are both still young. In two years, you will only be twenty-seven and she will be twenty.
Five is a great age."
Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Mom, Dad, listen to me, we are just friends. Really, I don't deny that I like her, but anything can happen in two years, why do you have to be with her?"
You need to restrain her before leaving. I can't do that. There is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it."
Lin's mother gave Lin Yuan a punch and said: "What are you trying to say with me? Talk to me. I'm not asking you to restrain her. At least you two must establish a relationship."
Father Lin echoed: "You are already old. It is not okay to always be afraid of taking responsibility. A man should do his duty and fight for it whenever he encounters it. If you are afraid of wolves before you, you will be afraid of tigers after you. What can you accomplish?"
Lin's mother agreed: "Your father has said something serious this time. You listen to your parents. Your father and I both like this girl. You quickly confirm your relationship with her, and then you do whatever you need to do, and do nothing."
The impact is not that getting married after three or four years of dating is a matter of course."
"Mom, Dad, can you let me think about this carefully? Don't force me."
"Isn't this forcing you? What else are you considering? You have to consider such a good girl. We are an ordinary family. Finding such a girl is already a blessing. What else do you want?"
Luo Shuyan supported from the side and said: "Brother, just listen to my aunt. You see, I am anxious. You are such an adult, but I am not sensible yet."
"Shut up now. It's all your fault. I haven't settled the account with you yet. Don't hit my gun. I'm telling you."
Lin's mother punched her again and said, "Shut up, your sister is right, listen."
Lin Yuan stood up and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense, right? I'll go and have a showdown with her right now."
Lin's mother quickly grabbed him and said: "You kid, you are still rebellious at such an old age. Sit down for me. If you want to have a showdown, don't go there at this time. You are alone at night. Your mother, I am afraid that you will make a mistake."
Woolen cloth."
Father Lin said: "Okay, okay, he already knows what's going on, so don't say anything. He can decide for himself. How will we stay at night?"
Lin Yuan gave Lin's father a grateful look and said, "Shuyan sleeps with my mother, and I sleep with my father."
Mother Lin said: "Okay, let's go and have a rest quickly. It's too late to hear this. It's been a long day."
Lin Yuan returned to the room, took two quilts, let Luo Shuyan take one quilt to her room, and made the other quilt on his bed.
After washing, Dad Lin came to the room, closed the bedroom door, and lay down next to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan charged up his mobile phone and then lay down too.
Father Lin said: "Lin Yuan, don't blame your mother for talking too much. We are only a son like you and we are not around. It's not easy for us to see you once. It's normal for us to nag a few words."
"Dad, I know."
"How is your work? Do you have any hope of promotion? Are you happy at work?"
"I resigned today because of the dilemma of not being able to attend class. My friend and I are planning to open a company together and work on our own."
"It's good. Young people have to work harder. When you are like your father and I, we won't have to worry about it."
"Yes, Dad. Actually, I just want to take advantage of the fact that I am young and have many possibilities. After some hard work, I might be able to find a path that suits me."
"It doesn't matter how much money you make, the main thing is whether you are happy or not. Your life is only so long. Having more money does not necessarily mean you will be happy, and being poor does not necessarily mean you will be unhappy. The way to live rich and poor, and the way to live poor, mainly depends on your mentality.
.”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Dad, I think you have a very good attitude. You are over fifty and don't have a single gray hair. Nowadays, there are too many people in their twenties and thirties who have gray hair."
"Then look at it, your dad and I really don't have any other advantages. I just have a good attitude and don't care about everything. It's just that your mom thinks I'm worthless, ugh!"
"My mother just loves to nag. There's nothing wrong with her. In fact, as long as you two are in good health, I'll be relieved."
"We think the same about you. We don't ask you to make much contribution to the family. As long as you are healthy and happy, it's enough. My good son, my father has always been proud of you. From school to graduation, you have never let us down.
What worries have you had?"
"Dad, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me? You and your dad are so polite."
"That's right! Dad, I have a question to ask you."
"Say it."
"If you had 100 million, what would you use it for?"
Father Lin thought for a while and said: "If you are at your age, of course you can enjoy life and do what you want to do. If you are at my current age, of course the first priority is to consider your family. For you
Mom will give you a better life, then help you achieve your career, and save it for you to get married and have children."
"Dad, what do you mean by what makes a person successful in this life?"
"To be worthy of yourself and to be worthy of heaven and earth means to be promising. A person must be worthy of himself first. No matter what you do, what industry you are engaged in, no matter how high your official position is, or how much money you earn, remember one thing, if you are worthy of yourself and your conscience, that is enough.
Already."
"Dad, I think you are much more knowledgeable than those stupid experts. What you say can make people feel at ease. I don't want what those experts say to make people feel troubled."
"You, be yourself and don't meddle in other people's affairs. What others say doesn't have anything to do with you. Your father and I have summed it up in this life: When you live in this world, do more and complain less."
"Do more and complain less. It's really philosophical. I will take this sentence as my motto from now on."
"It's also philosophical. Your father and I have more life experience than you. If it's right, just listen to it. If it's wrong, just use it as a negative example. Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to bed."
Lin Yuan lay on the bed, thinking over and over what Lin's father said. After talking, he felt refreshed and the stasis in his heart slowly subsided.
