When Lin Zhixia and Li Ci went in, Mother Lin and Father Lin were still busy in the kitchen. From a distance, they could hear Mother Lin coming out to chase Father Lin away, "Didn't I tell you to go out and stay? I'll be busy myself." "
Father Lin chuckled and continued to do the work he was doing, "I'm already healed, what else can I do if I do this!"
Even though they were shocked when they saw Li Ci for the first time, Father Lin and Mother Lin maintained good self-control and looked at them calmly, "You're here as soon as you come, why do you still get such an expensive gift?"
"They are some health supplements. My uncle has just been discharged from the hospital. These are good for the body." Li Ci gave them the brands used by his parents at home, otherwise he would not give them easily.
Seeing that they had arrived, Mother Lin finally had a reason to send Father Lin out to sit with Li Ci, while Lin Zhixia went into the kitchen to help Mother Lin.
Mother Lin glanced at Li Ci who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Father Lin, lowered her head and asked softly: "You said the person you want to get married is Li Ci, what is going on between you and him?" She still remembered that she was in the hospital before. At that time, Zhixia said that the two of them had nothing to do with each other, so why did they want to get married immediately?
Lin Zhixia looked at her mother's confused eyes and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she kept her head down in silence.
She thought that she couldn't tell the truth, saying that they decided to get married to avoid being forced to marry at home. She was just thinking about how to make up an excuse to excuse her, when she heard Mother Lin say again: "Did they have a fight before?"
Lin Zhixia nodded along with Mother Lin's words, "Yes."
"Now that you have decided to get married, Zhixia, you need to know that there is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Besides, his profession is also special, so you need to be more understanding."
"knew."
"Mom, what kind of soup is in your pot? It's so fragrant," Lin Zhixia said and wanted to reach out and take off the lid to take a look.
Mother Lin patted Lin Zhixia's hand, "Be careful because it's hot, it's not healed yet, so you can't open it yet," she said, straightening the lid that Zhixia had held off, "Cordyceps Flower Chicken, your favorite drink."
Mother Lin looked at the time and saw that the soup would be ready in about ten minutes. Then she started frying the last green vegetables again. After frying for a while, she suddenly thought that the last time she knew Xia in the hospital, she said that Li Ci was the parent of a classmate. Could it be that Li Ci was the parent of a classmate? There is another child, a second marriage?
She quickly put the food on the plate, reached out and pulled Lin Zhixia, who was leaning against the kitchen door, and asked seriously: "Does he have a child and is he married for the second time?"
"ah……"
Lin Zhixia was confused after hearing this, and looked at her mother in confusion, "What child, what second marriage?"
Mother Lin glanced at Li Ci with a gesture in her eyes, and said anxiously: "Who else can there be? Li Ci, tell me if he has a child, and he is divorced."
Lin Zhixia finally understood the meaning of what Lin's mother said. It was probably the last time she was in the hospital. She said that Li Ci was the parent of her classmate, and her mother misunderstood.
Lin Zhixia smiled and shook her head, and explained solemnly: "Mom, you misunderstood. He is single, has no children, and has never been married."
"Then what happened in the hospital last time?" Mother Lin asked, still disbelieving.
Lin Zhixia knew that if she didn't explain it clearly, her mother would still have doubts, so she briefly talked about the process of getting to know Li Ci, "Now you believe it, Mom!"
Mother Lin nodded after hearing this, "That means you first met him because he helped pick up his comrade's child?"
"yes."
Mother Lin no longer had any worries, so she opened the door and said with a smile: "The food is ready, let's eat."
Li Ci stood up and wanted to go into the kitchen to bring out the food, but Mother Lin stopped him, "Since you are one of your own here, don't be so polite."
There was peace at the dinner table. Mother Lin asked what Li Ci answered, respectfully and politely. Mother Lin looked at the handsome and well-educated Li Ci. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
After dinner, Li Ci drank tea with Lin's father. Lin Zhixia, who wanted to go into the kitchen to help wash the dishes, was kicked out by Lin's mother.
When Lin's father knew that Li Ci could play chess, he insisted on dragging Li Ci into a game, saying that he wanted to see his chess skills.
Li Ci looked at the enthusiastic father Lin and stopped trying to shirk. At the beginning, Father Lin had the upper hand, but gradually in the end, he retreated one after another. After the game of chess, Father Lin asked: "Li Ci, how long have you been playing this game?"
Li Ci replied humbly: "It makes uncle laugh. I started learning it from my grandfather when I was a child."
"No wonder he is so good at chess and so courageous," Lin's father said with satisfaction as he looked at Li Ci, who was about to become his son-in-law.
Mother Lin came out after washing the dishes and looked at Father Lin with a smile, "This is the first time my child comes here, so I want to play chess with you."
Li Ci stood up and replied with a smile: "It's okay, Auntie, I also like playing chess."
Looking at Mother Lin who had finished her work, Li Ci glanced at Lin Zhixia and said to Father Lin and Mother Lin solemnly and calmly: "Uncle, Auntie, Zhixia and I are planning to get married."
"Zhi Xia told us, why so fast?" Father Lin and Mother Lin didn't understand.
Regarding their reactions, Li Ci could guess in advance and was prepared, "Although we have not known each other for a long time, Zhixia has many qualities that I admire very much. I am confident that we will be very happy. Plus, I have a task recently. I don’t have time, so I want to make a decision in advance.”
After listening to Li Ci's words, Lin Zhixia secretly gave him a thumbs up and admired him. She didn't expect that his eloquence was so good. He must have used all the tactics he used against the enemy on her parents!
Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at Li Ci with serious eyes. Mother Lin asked, "Your uncle served as a soldier when he was young. Auntie understands, but does your family agree?"
Li Ci nodded and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, my family supports my decision, and I plan to take Zhixia to my home tomorrow."
Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other. The young man in front of them had a very good impression of him in the hospital before, and now he felt more and more satisfied with it. "Since you already have an idea, follow your instructions." Come, but let’s just say one thing, marriage is not a child’s play, and I hope you can all be responsible.”
Li Ci glanced at Lin Zhixia and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Definitely."
At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Ci stood up and said goodbye to Father Lin and Mother Lin, thinking that Father Lin had just been discharged from the hospital today and should rest early.
He turned around and walked out the door. As soon as he reached the door, Lin's mother pushed Lin Zhixia and stood in front of Li Ci, "Don't you drive to Lancheng tomorrow? Let's go together."
Lin Zhixia and Li Ci were both shocked. Lin Zhixia said in a panic: "Mom, no need, he..." Before she could finish speaking, Li Ci took over her luggage and grabbed her hand with a calm look on his face. He said to Mother Lin: "Okay, Auntie."
After coming out of their house, Lin Zhixia took out her grabbed hand and looked at Li Ci in shock, "Why didn't you refuse?"
"Then they will be suspicious," Li Ci said with a smile in his eyes and seemed to be in a good mood. He grabbed Lin Zhixia's hand again and walked towards his car.
Lin Zhixia, who got into the car, still refused to give up and looked at Li Ci with complicated eyes, "Then you take me back to the apartment I rented, and you go back to the army."
Li Ci didn't say anything. He just started the car and drove out of the community. He drove steadily to the road and then said, "I'm going back to the army tonight, but I won't be able to make it tomorrow. I have a house in T city, and I have to go there sooner or later anyway." Go and see.”
Lin Zhixia never refused. Only her slightly red face showed how panicked she was. After all, she wanted to be alone with the same man for one night.
