Sweet 80s

Lin Xiangdong was not angry about Liang Fengshou's evaluation, and he felt it was very pertinent.

If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have come up with such an unreliable and bad idea.

It doesn’t matter if it’s bad, as long as it can get things done.

The more Liang Fengshou thought about it, the more interesting it seemed to him. He agreed without hesitation and planned to go home on the weekend to discuss it with his mother.

Lin Xiangdong is not an immature child, and he feels a little guilty at the thought of troubling Liang's mother.

I confirmed the feasibility of this matter with Liang Fengshou again and again.

Unexpectedly, the other party was obviously very supportive of me and promised me with a pat on his chest.

"Fifth brother, you don't know that when my mother was young, she often performed with the village opera troupe..."

Liang Fengshou raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, and his excitement began to cool down.

"After my dad passed away, she just couldn't spare the time, so she never went there again. This can be considered as fulfilling her dream of becoming an actress..."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Lin Xiangdong still gave some instructions with concern.

"Go back and test the waters first. If Auntie doesn't want to, forget it. Don't force it. I'll think of another way then..."

Liang Fengshou wiped his mouth, waved his hand and continued.

"I know my mother, she won't disagree. Besides, is there anyone more suitable than my mother around you?"

Lin Xiangdong recalled Liang's mother's cheerful and hot temper, and realized that few of the people around her could compare to her.

He scratched his head sheepishly and said with a silly grin, "Indeed, there is no more."

"That's it, it's settled. Wait for my news."

Liang Fengshou's words temporarily solved Xu Xinnian's problem.

Now they are just waiting for the right time to complete Xu Xinnian and He Na's "breakup plan".

He Na from Xinxing City is no fool.

After several phone calls, she had already heard the disgust and disdain hidden in Xu Xinnian's tone.

She did not get discouraged because, after all, they had known each other for too short a time and it was unrealistic to expect to win him over with just a few phone calls.

He Na planned to go home and discuss countermeasures with her mother, but before entering the house, she heard her parents complaining about her brother's marriage.

The Ho family is similar to the Liang family.

They all have a strong patriarchal mentality.

But the difference between the two families is that Liang's mother will use the correct values ​​to guide and influence Liang Fengshou.

As a single mother, she often sets the example for her children through her hard work and efforts.

Earn a future for your son with your own hands, not at the expense of squeezing your daughter dry in exchange for certain benefits.

The He family showed endless doting on their son.

He Na exists in this world as a victim of her original family. She knows it very well, but she is powerless to escape.

She knew that instead of resisting to the end it would be better to choose one she liked among many targets.

In her opinion, there is no conflict between paying money to fill the gap in the family and finding a suitable marriage partner.

When He's parents saw their daughter come back, they immediately asked her how her relationship with Xu Xinnian had progressed.

He Na sighed and said, "I came back just to talk about this..."

After listening to He Na's story, He's father stood up and put his hands behind his back.

"Anyway, your brother said that if the wedding can't be held before National Day, the girl will break up with him. You guys can do whatever you want."

No matter how urgent the family needed money, He's father was still blocked by moral standards. He turned around and left angrily.

There was a trace of helplessness and anxiety between He's mother's brows.

She took her daughter's hand and reminded her meaningfully.

"You have to think things through. All men are the same. Don't take it too seriously that being a soldier or not is useless..."

He Na knew that her mother was going to bring up the past again, so she pouted and turned her head away.

"The man your Aunt Wang introduced to you is pretty good. His family runs a business and he's an only child. If you two get married..."

"What do you mean it's fine? It's not like you haven't seen that person before!" He Na rolled her eyes and turned away again.

"Oh Nana, he's just a little ugly..."

After hearing her mother only say the beginning of her words, He Na sat up straight and stared at her without saying a word.

He's mother curled her lips and continued talking, feeling more and more guilty.

"A little short... a little fat... bad legs... bald head, but you get used to it after being married for a long time."

"Get used to it? Humph! If I really marry him, what's the difference between that and Tang Monk's journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures?"

He's mother didn't understand what her daughter meant: "Why are you bringing up Tang Monk?"

He Na glared at her mother and snorted coldly.

"When I woke up in the morning, I saw an ugly husband on my left and an ugly child on my right. Only Tang Seng went through eighty-one trials. I have done nothing in my life and have to face monsters every day. There is no hope in it!"

"What are you talking about, kid? Can being handsome be used to make a living?"

He Na jumped up from the sofa and retorted angrily.

"I can't eat it, but at least it won't make me lose my appetite. I don't have a golden cudgel, otherwise I would have beaten all these monsters to death with one blow!"

After saying that, He Na returned to the room and slammed the door.

The He family's plan came to nothing.

Lin Xiangdong can reshape the plan in his mind again and again to ensure that there are no mistakes.

Calculating the time, he estimated that Wang Shuping and the children should be here.

So, he stayed at the unit after work that day, and when everyone except those on duty had left, he contacted Lin Xiangli's pager number.

Lin Xiangdong first called the paging station.

A woman with a sweet voice and a host-like accent answered the phone.

"Hello, this is 127 paging station. How can I help you?"

Few of Lin Xiangdong’s friends use pagers.

In the 1980s, when pagers were first introduced to the market, a single machine could sell for as much as two thousand yuan, while most people's monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan.

The huge economic gap caused pagers to become a symbol of successful people.

The first time Lin Xiangdong called the pager number that Lin Xiangli left for him, his tone was slightly nervous.

"Uh...I, I huh."

This was the pager number Lin Xiangli left for her.

"Okay, what's the message?"

Lin Xiangdong looked at the few words he had written in advance and read them out stutteringly.

"Call...Lin...Lin Xiangdong's unit...and tell them to wait until eight o'clock."

"Okay, anything else?"

"No more, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone.

The paging station will send the paging number and content provided by the customer to Lin Xiangli's pager in the form of a text message.

At this time, Lin Xiangli was bringing everyone to have dinner in a private room of the hotel.

Wang Shuping led Dabao out of the bathroom and met two men with slicked-back hair and briefcases tucked under their armpits.

The two chatted briefly.

Just listen to one of them talking to the other.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, the two of them left.

Dabao asked Wang Shuping with a confused look on his face.

"Mom, what are they talking about? Call him, are they going to fight?"

It was also the first time that Wang Shuping had encountered such a conversation. She didn't understand what they meant for a moment and could only shake her head.

"I don't know, maybe it's the dialect."

The two just returned to the private room and sat down.

Beep beep beep.

A series of crisp sounds came from Lin Xiangli's waist.

"What's that sound?" Dabao stretched his neck curiously and looked at Lin Xiangli.

She took out a black rectangle from her waist with a thin light green screen in the middle.

Lin Xiangli pressed the button and Lin Xiangdong's message appeared on the screen.

"A message from Xiao Wuzi."

Hearing this, Wang Shuping stood up quickly: "Xiangdong?"

"Yes." Lin Xiangli stood up and showed the pager in her hand to Wang Shuping.

Pagers became popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

It was normal that Wang Shuping had never seen it before, so she was not surprised to see a line of words on the screen.

"This...this is..."

"It's called a pager or a beeper. Because of the ring tone it uses to send messages, it's also called a BB machine."

"You said that the words on it were sent to you by Xiangdong?"

"Yes, he called the paging station first, and the staff sent the content to me, and then I called him back. That's why people here often say, 'Call me if you have anything'. That's what it means."

After the two understood, Dabao immediately recalled the meaning of the previous words and hurriedly looked towards Wang Shuping.

"mom."

Wang Shuping understood immediately, smiled without responding to him, and turned to Lin Xiangli.

"Xiangdong means that he should wait for us to call him back at the office before 8 o'clock, right?"

"Yes, I mean, you two are really a match made in heaven. When you just separated, either you missed him or he missed you."

Lin Xiangli made fun of them again.

But this time, Wang Shuping didn't care about the embarrassment and was just determined to contact Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Xiangli also noticed the other party's anxiety, and the meal was almost finished.

Just as he was about to pay the bill and leave, he suddenly remembered the unpleasant incident that happened when he had dinner with Yan Shengnan last time, so he called the waiter to pack up the remaining food and take it away.

Her boyfriend Zhang Gaoyuan was shocked and surprised, looking at Lin Xiangli as if she were a stranger...
