Chapter 17 A Big Game

When Lin Nanfang came back from get off work, she saw Lin Xiya watching TV, and "Tom and Jerry" was playing on the TV, which made her very amused.

"I haven't woken up yet, how old are you, and I'm still watching cartoons." Lin Nanfang frowned when he saw his little daughter.

As usual, Lin Xiya ignored her and just watched TV to make fun of her.

Lin Ximeng was choosing vegetables in the kitchen, ready to wash, cut and fry them when Lin Nanfang came back.

"Girl, how is your graduation thesis preparation?" Lin Nanfang walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and changed from a people's teacher to a chef in seconds.

"Basically it's OK. It's still a long time. We'll see if there is anything that can be corrected." Lin Xi's sprouts were also cut, and she stepped aside to watch her father wash the pot.

"Get ready early."

"Dad, I want to go to Suizhou Metropolis Daily for an internship."

"Why do you want to go to this small newspaper?"

"I read it. This newspaper is much more citizen-oriented. In addition, they are going to be changed to a daily newspaper. The speed of development should be very fast. This is what I value."

This is Lin Ximeng's truth, but it's not all.

There was always a figure in her mind, and that was Shen Jianghe.

She doesn't deny that she likes him, maybe it's just the feeling between handsome men and beautiful women, but when it comes to being in love, it's something that has no shadow, at least now she feels it's impossible.She didn't understand him, the firewall of a girl's innate sense of security still lay between them, but he often appeared in her dreams.

The root of all this was the fact that he was robbed that day.

"You have to talk to your mother about this matter, she knows a lot of people." Lin Nanfang said while holding the pot.

"Dad, I beg you, just tell Lao Mei." Lin Ximeng knew that her mother, Su Danqing, knew someone from Suizhou Daily, otherwise, Lin Xiya wouldn't be able to enter that compound.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about it later." Lin Nanfang generally responded to Lin Ximeng's requests.

When Sudan Qing opened the door and entered the room, Lin Xiya rushed over to get her slippers, took the bag in her hand, and said, you have worked hard.

"There is nothing to show courteousness to, rape or steal. You won't cause me any trouble again, will you?" Su Danqing understands her daughter, especially this Lin Xiya.

"How can it be, Mom, Mom, when can I go to the Metropolis Daily?" Lin Xiya's hospitality really contained her little Jiujiu.

"Go away!" Su Danqing feigned anger and pushed her away, "Didn't I tell you earlier, the probationary period, after the probationary period!" She had to repeat it again.

"I can't stay there any longer, it's like going to jail." Lin Xiya pouted and stomped her feet coquettishly.

"There are so many books in it, and I can read whatever I want. Look at you, you don't look like a girl. Reading can nourish your heart and shape your body. You just don't read enough books."

Sudan Qing put on her slippers and walked to the living room.

"Mother, please drink water." Lin Xiya quickly handed her a glass of water.

She takes the teacup.

"I know that reading can nourish the heart, but I don't have enough brain cells, so I feel dizzy just looking at it." Lin Xiya shook her head and sighed pretendingly.

"You have no heart, no liver and no lungs, let me tell you, don't talk about it!" Su Danqing was about to drink water, and after hearing what she said, he put the teacup on the coffee table.

"Old Bei, is the meal ready? My mother is hungry!" Seeing her mother staring at the kitchen, Lin Xiya yelled for her.

"I really have to find someone to take you in. I'm so relieved." Sudan Qing had no good tone.

Since Lin Xiya graduated from high school, in the past three years, because of her work problems, Sudan Qing has really broken her heart and felt very tired.

Seeing Lin Xiya like this, sometimes she would suddenly think of Shen Jianghe in her mind, not because of anything else, but because she thought he was patient and careful, if he could fall in love with Lin Xiya...

She doesn't know yet whether she will support or oppose it.

Shen Jianghe is an outsider, and it would be embarrassing for a girl from a big city to marry a poor rural guy from another area.

But once she had this idea, it seemed that she couldn't erase it, which gave her a headache.

"Okay, mom, why don't you hurry up and find someone to take me in?!" Lin Xiya flattered her with a smile.

"I'm so mad!" Sudan Qing said angrily.

"Let me just say, Yilai stretched out her hand to eat and opened her mouth, so you don't get used to her faults." Lin Nanfang came out with a plate of food, looked at the mother and daughter, "It's ready to serve dinner."

"Old Bei, you know how to sow discord." Lin Xiya came over and grabbed Sudan Qing's shoulders, "We are doing well, aren't we, Mom?"

"Okay, okay, you can do it well, let's talk about it after the probationary period is over, and you will bother me all day." Su Danqing sighed.

She was not very willing for Lin Xiya to go to work, but seeing her daughter like this, she felt a little shaken.

"By the way, your daughter said that she wants to do an internship at the Metropolis Daily." Lin Nanfang was about to enter the kitchen and said something.

"Didn't you mean to go to Chen Xinhua's place?" Su Danqing thought about it before.

"Xinhua is just an administrator. To put it bluntly, he is a waiter. Your daughter is studying communication, so she doesn't need professional knowledge."

Lin Nanfang and Chen Xinhua are family friends, and their parents were both cadres who went south.

"That's not an ordinary waiter. They deal with the boss, general manager, and chairman of the company. Are you afraid that you won't learn anything?" Sudan Qing somewhat agreed with Lin Ximeng's going to the School of Management of Suicheng University.

"Find the right unit first. It's best to go to work directly after the internship. Xinhua has no staff." Lin Nanfang finished speaking and entered the kitchen.

Sudan Qing didn't say anything more, the preparation is the most concerned issue for college students and even their parents.

"What? Lin Ximeng also wants to go to Metropolis Daily?" Lin Xiya asked with her head tilted.

"You two are called twins. It's hard to think of one." Sudan Qing smiled.

"Mom, you're partial. Why can't I go if she can?" Lin Xiya was a little disappointed.

"I'm a college student, what do you have if you have this strength?" Sudan Qing said angrily.

"My mother has strength, and strength means charm, right?" Lin Xiya smiled flatteringly.

"It's you big-headed ghost! It's the same sentence, let's talk after the probationary period." Su Danqing didn't budge.

"Where is the business card Chen Xinhua gave that day?" Lin Nanfang brought out another dish.

"I left it in the office, what do you want a business card for?"

"Didn't he buy a mobile phone? Write down his number." Lin Nanfang was a little puzzled, "Why did you take his business card to the office?"

"I am useful."

Sudan Qing did not include the Suizhou Metropolis Daily in the advertising plan, and when chatting with Shen Jianghe that day, he also asked him not to come again.

But she felt that this young man was a nice guy, so she read the Metropolitan Daily carefully, and found that the newspaper's economic news reports had characteristics, which might be suitable for Chen Xinhua's needs.

Originally, she only wanted to help him, crossing others and crossing herself, but her daughter Lin Xiya caused her a lot of headaches, so she had a whim and wanted to play a big game of chess.

If Shen Jianghe is ambitious, helping him is just a matter of lifting his hands. If he can make a name for himself, it means that he has plasticity, and then he and Lin Xiya will be paired together to make it even better.

But if Shen Jianghe doesn't go on the road, then stop here. After all, in her heart, even if the man marries, he must have a certain ability, otherwise, it will only make people laugh.

Chen Xinhua's business card was deliberately placed on the desk by her.

If he really didn't come here because he didn't include the city newspaper in his plan, or if he didn't seize the opportunity when he came, then there might be no future.

Although she was unwilling to let her daughter be with a foreigner in her heart, she felt that at least there would be no harm in doing so. She wanted to know how capable this Shen Jianghe was.

******
Shen Jianghe was looking forward to the weekend for the first time after he joined Metropolis Daily. It wasn't about meeting old man Ning's daughter. It's been almost two weeks. He has been working under heavy load and just wants to have a weekend to recharge his batteries.

The book that Lin Ximeng lent him was her textbook, with dots circled in it, and annotations in many places, so you can understand it at a glance.

This is much better than him buying books.

But he is very envious of her handwriting. She writes each textbook's annotations stroke by stroke. The handwriting is like a regular script copybook, graceful and fresh, very pleasing to the eye.

He couldn't imagine, with such neat handwriting, how she could keep up with the teacher's blackboard writing speed when the teacher was lecturing, besides, every textbook was like this.

It made him stand in awe.

Shen Jianghe was so obsessed with her handwriting that he forgot to sleep and eat, as if he was in the same classroom with her.

Weekends are the days for salesmen to sleep. They usually wake up early in the morning if they don’t sleep at night. Only on weekends can they rest assured to sleep.

But Shen Jianghe got up in the morning and sat on the small stool in the living room. He didn't feel the heat of the weather at all, and he was absorbed in reading the book.

In the afternoon, old man Ning came to the door and asked him to help pick lychees.

Asking himself to help, Shen Jianghe did his part. He didn't say anything about meeting his daughter. It is estimated that the old man would not be able to persuade his daughter.

Shen Jianghe felt relieved instead.

Old man Ning's lychees are in an orchard of [-] mu, where there are patches of fruit trees. According to old man Ning, the government has expropriated all the orchards to build a wetland park.Before the wetland park is built, the fruit trees are still managed by the farmers according to the standard.

The old man was riding a motorcycle and leading him towards the [-] mu orchard.

After staying in a big city for a long time, he was used to seeing concrete forests, and when he came to this stretch of green shade, with small bridges, flowing water, and wild flowers everywhere, he was very satisfied with the scenery.

"Here we are." The old man stopped the car, and there were two women standing under the fruits and vegetables in front of him.

The younger one is probably old man Ning's wife.

The young ones, perhaps because they are afraid of the sun's ultraviolet rays, wrap themselves tightly, which is very funny and has the charm of a masked hero.

Think about it in a blink of an eye, isn't it? !

Could it be the old man's daughter? !

This old man, still playing scheming quietly? !

"Jiang He!" A somewhat familiar voice called him.

He looked around, there was no one else.

The man who wrapped himself up tightly walked towards him and called him again.

Ning Anan! ! !
He was terrified!
Ning An'an? Ning old man? Ning An'an is the youngest daughter that Ning An'an always talks about in front of him?!

He had thought of this before, but there are many surnames in Suicheng, and her company is far away from old man Ning's home, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence.

But the fact is that he is so stunned!

"She's your daughter?!" He still didn't believe it, so he asked old man Ning, hoping he would say no.

"Oh! So you know each other?!" Old man Ning's smile made him feel like he was facing an abyss!
"An'an, this is the boyfriend I introduced to you!"

This old man!

faint!
"Why is it you?!" Ning Anan's voice trembled a little.

I couldn't see her face, and I didn't know whether it was excitement or surprise.

It is estimated that the nerves on her face will also be a pathological reaction.

Enemy road is narrow!

"Hello, Auntie!" In order to be polite and relieve the embarrassment and anxiety in his heart, he could only turn around and call out to old man Ning's wife.

Old man Ning's wife and old man Ning kept the same smile, which was enough to make him want to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

That sentence described that the mother-in-law became more and more happy when she saw her son-in-law. Now, in the smiling eyes of old man Ning and his wife, he seemed to have become their son-in-law.

The blue sky is long and white clouds are blooming.

Shen Jianghe looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath, his heart was like a big curtain covering the sky, just now it was vast and boundless.

Seeing Ning An'an walking towards him step by step, imagining her usually cold and frosty appearance, which is completely incompatible with her in front of her eyes.

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

With his sudden smile, Ning Anan stopped in his tracks, obviously feeling his mockery, and couldn't help but look at himself.

There is indeed some "temperament"!
"Shen Jianghe!" She tore off the cover on her head and threw it at him viciously.

Well, that's it.

"Uncle Ning, which one to pick first?" He ignored Ning Anan as if she didn't show up.

Old man Ning tapped his finger.

Shen Jianghe quickly jumped up the tree like an ape.

He grew up in the countryside and loved to climb trees when he was a child. This lychee tree has many branches, which is a piece of cake for him.

Shen Jianghe's instant vertical freezing towards her made her a little annoyed.

"Shen Jianghe, come down for me!" Ning Anan was quite upset.

"Go up and pick it." Old Man Ning said to her dissatisfied.

He threw one end of the rope to Shen Jianghe on the tree, Shen Jianghe caught it, tied one end to a branch, and hung a basket on the other end.

The lychees were all on the outer layer of the treetops, and when Shen Jianghe climbed to the top of the tree, the branches swayed from side to side.

Ning Anan was reprimanded by the old man, and she didn't make another sound. After her emotions calmed down, she looked up. The shaking of the branches made her startled, worried that he would fall off.

"Jiang He, be careful!" Ning Anan cried out unconsciously.

I have to watch out for you!Shen Jianghe heard it and said in his heart.

This is his first time picking lychees, and he has no experience. Lychees are full of sugar, and bees often stay there, and he was stung by bees several times on his face.

He ignored it, picked a few baskets and hung them to the ground, and only slipped down the tree when the old man said it was all right.

The place on the face where the bee sting was red and swollen.

Seeing him like this, Ning Anan couldn't breathe from laughing.

Shen Jianghe reckoned that his appearance might be horrible, that's why Ning An'an took revenge like this.

"You're still gloating!" The old man scolded his daughter again.

Only then did Ning Anan stop laughing, and hurriedly asked him if he was in pain. He looked very concerned, and then took out a box of ointment from his pocket, saying that he bought it from Thailand.

Opening the ointment, she stretched out her slender and slender fingers, intending to apply it to his face.

He dodges.

"Uncle Ning, is your daughter always laughing like this?" Shen Jianghe kept a distance from Ning An'an.

"Hey, maybe it's like this in front of familiar people." Old man Ning said ambiguously, but also with a long meaning.

But the old man was always cheerful, and it was useless to ask.

Old man Ning and his wife pinched off the excess branches of the lychees picked by Shen Jianghe, which just filled two large baskets.

"Jiang He, come, help me lift the litchi to the back seat of the motorcycle and tie it up." The old man kept smiling from ear to ear.Even if there is a good harvest of lychees, there is no need to do so.

Old man Ning was worried that his daughter would look down on Shen Jianghe, but seeing the situation of the two of them, he had a bottom line.

With the lychees tied to the motorcycle, Shen Jianghe was thinking, how will he go back later?
He took a look, old man Ning's wife and Ning An'an came on a bicycle, did they walk back by themselves?
In this forest that covers the sky and the sun, there are densely winding trails. I thought to myself, it’s troublesome, and it’s no wonder that I don’t get lost if I walk alone.

The old man laid a wooden plank on the rear seat of the motorcycle, placed two baskets of lychees on both sides, and after tying them tightly, he beckoned his wife to climb onto the wooden plank on the back seat, then smiled at Shen Jianghe, stepped up the accelerator, Drove away.

This old man, cross the river and tear down the bridge!

Looking at Ning An'an next to her, she thought to herself, this is either a pit or a gentle trap.

"Shen Jianghe! Stand still for me." Ning An'an's bossy tone came again.

Okay, what should be faced is still to be faced.

When he went to work after the weekend, he still had to go to the client's place to have his face painted. His face might look like a ghost, and he couldn't help it.

He stood there, looking at that charming face, so focused, he could only let her slender fingers apply ointment on his face.

The time is very long, I don't know if she is serious or delaying time on purpose.

"Okay, this ointment has a miraculous effect, and it will quickly reduce redness and swelling." Ning Anan looked at him, as if admiring him.

"You go first, I can go back by myself." He looked at the bright red sky.

"Are you sure? It won't be long before it gets dark." Ning Anan asked back.

He has seen it today, her face is not only beautiful, but also very vivid, full of shades, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

He didn't answer, just walked forward on his own.

She pushed the bicycle to catch up.

"Here!" She threw the bicycle in front of him, "Take me!"

Ever since I met her, everything has been forced.

He grabbed the front of the car, Ning Anan pulled him tightly, and sat on the rear rack.

He was riding a bicycle, his appearance was safe, but his heart was behind him. The winding road was uneven, and he was worried that she would not be able to sit still and fall.

He didn't know if it was gentlemanly worry or a spineless portrayal.

He was silent all the way.

She has been speechless.

The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the green trails, combined with a good mood, is a wonderful feeling.

As long as he is determined to find love and pursue pleasure, this small road may lead to a brilliant romance.
