Lin Xi knew that he was just mean in words, but in his heart he was not afraid at all.

"Brother, if I get along with someone else, what will you do?"

Shen Kang actually started to think seriously.

"First castrate that man, and then I'll fix you up, and see if you still dare to go out and mess around with women."

Lin Xi was stunned.

Seeing that she was obviously frightened, Shen Kang touched her head and whispered: "Don't listen to brother's nonsense, they are just teasing you. If a girl as good as you can fall in love with someone else, it must be brother What I did wasn't good enough. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't like anyone else in the future."

Lin Xi's heart felt stung inexplicably.

After she and Zhao Yiyi got together in her previous life, he really never married again.

Seeing whether she wanted to cry or not, Shen Kang quickly put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Brother is wrong. I will never tease you again."

"Brother, I will only be good to you from now on, and I will definitely not find anyone else."

Despite her soft voice, even though it was only ninety o'clock in the morning, Shen Kang felt a little upset because of the heat around him.

So he turned around and grabbed the teapot on the table and took a few sips.

The protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down, and crystal water droplets mixed with sweat beads silently dripped down his strong chin.

After drinking a bottle of cold water, the hot feeling finally dissipated a lot.

"There is still a lot of work outside." He did not dare to stay in the house any longer, fearing that he would lose control and make something wrong again, so he walked outside.

Lin Xi didn't know why and went out with him.

As he worked like this, Lin Xi helped him, and the two of them spent a day preparing the required wood.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xi got up and went home.

In the evening, when the family was sitting together for dinner, Lin Xi finally told her about her plans to go to school.

Lin Youfa dismissed it without even thinking about it.

"The marriage with the Shen family has been decided, and now you say you want to go to school. Isn't this nonsense?"

Lin Jianguo asked with concern: "Little sister, did Shen Kang bully you?"

Lin Xi quickly shook his head: "No, we have always been very good. I also told him about going to school, and he said he supports me."

Fan Xiumei: "At first, your grades were always very good. Mom knows that you delayed it because of your family. It's a good thing that you want to continue studying now. After all, we won't suffer any loss if we have a high school diploma, and it won't take more than a year and a half to get married." of."

Unlike other parents, she believes that girls will belong to other people's families sooner or later when they get married, and only sons belong to their own family.

Fan Xiumei is just the opposite. Once a girl gets married, none of her parents-in-law's family is truly her family, so she, as a mother, has to think more about her children.

"If your child wants to continue going to school, then go. I'll tell the old Shen family what they think."

Fan Xiumei rarely makes the decision in matters at home, but when she speaks up, the whole family basically doesn't dare to object.

So, the matter was settled like this.

In the next few days, in addition to continuing to sell old clothes, Lin Xi would also help Shen Kang with carpentry work when she had time, and also communicate with Shen Xiaofei's children.

On this day, Shen Kang had just finished finishing the wardrobe, and before he had time to paint it, he received a telegram from the army, saying that there was an urgent mission and urging him to return to the army immediately.

He didn't even have time to say hello to Lin Xi and left in a hurry.

At the end of August, Lin Xi's schooling was also put on the agenda.

"It's more than 20 miles from the village to the town. I can't afford to worry about studying." Fan Xiumei started to worry while packing the girl's things.

In the past, Lin Xi walked back every day to save money. In winter, several brothers had to take turns to pick him up, otherwise it would be too dark for a girl to be in danger.

Now that school starts, Lin Xi plans to go directly to the third year of high school. Day study is definitely not possible and she can only stay in the dormitory.

"Tomorrow I will take my children to my eldest brother's house and see if I can stay with them for a year. It happens that I have to repeat my studies in construction and the two children can also have company."

Lin Xi and Lin Jianshe are the same age, but they were delayed for a year by going to school in rural areas. Lin Jianshe failed to pass the college entrance examination this year and plans to retake it, so the two of them will be in the same year.

Fan Xiumei glanced at Lin Xi next to her, hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

"Your uncle and your aunt have a lot of rules. They should eat desserts and be more diligent with their hands. Don't make them angry."

Lin Youfa frowned: "What are you talking about? They are also the children's uncle and aunt. They are their own children. Is it possible that you can deliberately embarrass us Lin Xi?"

Lin Xi originally wanted to say a few words, but she knew Lin Youfa too well.

In his heart, no matter what happens to Lin Youzhong, he will always be his brother, the kind who has broken bones and connected tendons.

So it is very unwise to add fuel to the fire at this time. Only by letting him see the reality clearly will he give up.

The next day, Lin Youfa and his son went to town together.

"Dad, let me go with you."

"No need." Lin Youfa waved his hand: "You can go about your business."

Lin Jianjun had no choice but to leave first, while Lin Youfa took Lin Xi to the family area of ​​the meat factory.

Before arriving at the community, Lin Youfa made a special trip to the grocery store at the corner of the street and bought two bottles of canned hawthorn and two packs of sugar.

Canned food costs RMB 1.50 a bottle, and sugar costs RMB 80 per pound. The two items cost a total of RMB 4.6, which can be said to be a huge investment for visiting relatives in rural areas.

"Dad, if you buy so many things, if my aunt doesn't agree to my living in their house, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"No, your eldest and second sisters are both married. There is room at home. Besides, there are more sets of dishes and chopsticks. Your aunt will not disagree."

Seeing his vow, Lin Xi said nothing and walked forward with Lin Youfa.

Besides the sugar factory, the meat factory is the second factory in the town that is quite profitable, so the family area is full of buildings.

At this time, there was no in-situ concrete, and they were basically red brick and prefabricated board structures. Therefore, the floors of the buildings were not high, and most of them had outdoor stairs.

The father and daughter arrived at the terrace on the third floor where Lin Youzhong's home was located, and happened to see Lin Youzhong's daughter-in-law, Sun Shuzhen, opening the door and coming out to dry her clothes.

"Sister-in-law."

Lin Youfa shouted with a smile, and Sun Shuzhen said oh, glanced at Lin Xi behind him, turned around and opened the door to invite the two of them in: "Why are you two free to come here today?"

Lin Xi followed Lin Youfa into the house.

Lin Youzhong's home has a standard suite layout. As soon as you enter the door, there is the kitchen and living room, and then there are two bedrooms.

There were many children, so the innermost big house was divided into two small rooms.

Before sitting down, Lin Youfa put the things in his hands on the table and glanced in the direction of the back room: "Aren't Jianshe and Xiaoli at home?"
