Sweet 80s

Wang Shuping heard it all clearly.

Yan Shengnan's feelings for his mother have never changed.

Lin Xiangli was also moved by her daughter's understanding and thoughtfulness and her eyes were filled with tears.

She rushed over and hugged her daughter into her arms.

Yan Shengnan's words further strengthened Lin Xiangli's determination to keep her.

So, Lin Xiangli described her detailed plans for the future to Yan Shengnan with rare tenderness and patience.

Analyze the pros and cons over and over again.

Although Yan Shengnan is only a junior high school student, he cannot accurately understand lofty ideals and reality.

But she knew in her heart that Lin Xiangli's earnest advice must be right.

It didn't take long for her to waver.

But it takes tremendous courage for her to give up Nanhe City, where she had lived for more than ten years, and try to integrate into this completely unfamiliar city for the rest of her life.

More importantly, leaving Nanhe means leaving my father, grandparents, and classmates and close friends with whom I have known for many years.

"Nannan, I know what you are hesitating about. It may be cruel to say this, but all relationships are constantly lost and gained throughout life..."

Yan Shengnan understood what her mother meant.

She bit her lip lightly, and in her heart she was going through a choice that would change the direction of her future life.

She knew clearly that she was now like standing at a complicated crossroads, with every direction full of unknowns and difficult to decide.

Struggling in this dilemma, swaying in the torrent.

As an aunt, Wang Shuping was not in a position to participate in decisions that would affect other people's future, so she just listened to their conversation silently.

Lin Xiangli continued to lobby.

"How about this, I promise you that every holiday from now on, as long as you are willing, I will accompany you back to Nanhe for a while and let you meet the people you want to meet. How about that?"

Lin Xiangli made concessions again and again, and this was the last condition she could offer.

After a moment, Yan Shengnan finally made up his mind.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Before Lin Xiangli could be happy, she immediately made a small request.

"I want to go back to Nanhe with my aunt. Is that okay before school starts?"

Lin Xiangli knew that her daughter did this to say goodbye to her past relationship.

It made sense, so Lin Xiangli quickly agreed with a smile.

"Of course, now that it's decided, I'll ask someone to handle the admission procedures in a few days..."

As she spoke, she stood up, a little overwhelmed with excitement.

I was busy running around the room, but I didn't know what I was busy with.

After the children went to rest, Lin Xiangli took Wang Shuping to the second-floor platform to talk.

Lin Xiangli took out a bottle of red wine that she had treasured for many years and poured a glass for Wang Shuping.

"I've been doing business in the south these years. I can only go back for festivals and Chinese New Year. I'm so busy that I don't have time to go back home. I'm so grateful to have you."

Wang Shuping quickly waved her hands.

"Don't say that, Fourth Sister. I am just doing my part."

"You are not the only daughter-in-law of the old Lin family. Everyone has eyes to see how you are doing."

Lin Xiangli pointed directly at Pan Dayun.

"Xiao Pan is a troublemaker and gossiper. Everyone in the family is annoyed by her. I won't talk about the previous incident with the third brother. I heard that he is serious this time?"

Wang Shuping nodded.

"It depends on the situation. Ye Lu is an extraordinary girl. She comes from a wealthy family, has broad horizons, and is easy to get close to. She doesn't have the airs of a rich person..."

Lin Xiangli stared at the other person who was talking and burst out laughing.

Wang Shuping thought she had said something wrong and immediately stopped talking.

Lin Xiangli raised her hand and waved.

"It's okay, it's okay. You can say whatever you want. I just think that in your eyes, there are no bad people in this world. Everyone is good."

"No way..."

Wang Shuping's eyes rolled around, she raised her right hand to her mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"I don't like my sister-in-law either. When we were harvesting wheat last time, she was about to mention Yang Hongxia, and Xiangdong was so scared that he harvested the wheat overnight and took us back to the city before dawn..."

"Hahaha~"

Lin Xiangli couldn't stop laughing after hearing this.

"I know, I know. My second sister said this when she called me. Xiaowu has become more and more cowardly as he grows older. In the past, he was no less skilled than me in confronting Xiaopan..."

Wang Shuping pursed her lips and laughed softly.

"Yes, he is much more stable now. He is a father now, and he is no longer so careless with his words. The children will learn from him if they hear him too much."

Lin Xiangli nodded in agreement with the other party.

"Yes, well, speaking of Hongxia, you two are not angry about this, right? I witnessed with my own eyes how Xiaowu rejected her."

"No, no, Xiangdong has told me everything. In this regard, I have unconditional trust in his character."

After saying that, Wang Shuping picked up the glass and took a sip of red wine.

The fresh scent of grapes mixed with the spicy taste of alcohol stimulated her spirit.

"By the way, Fourth Sister, have you told the Yan family that you want Nan Nan to stay in Shunze? Will they not let Nan Nan go?"

Lin Xiangli stood up, first opened the door and looked inside the room, then locked the door and talked about the situation in the Yan family.

"Nan Nan is here these two days, so it's really inconvenient to talk about it. Now that you mentioned it, I was just planning to ask you for this..."

As for what happened before, due to the presence of Yan Shengnan, Lin Xiangli was reserved and only mentioned some innocuous points.

Although Yan's mother did not have a serious patriarchal mentality, she wanted a grandson from the bottom of her heart.

This time Feng Qianqian was pregnant with a boy, and she was very happy.

He immediately decided to take the girl home and take care of her personally before she gave birth.

But the house where the Yan family lives is not big.

After Yan Shengnan came into the world, the problem of insufficient rooms became apparent.

"There are two bedrooms in their house. When Nan Nan was little, she slept in a rocking chair. Later, they added half a bed next to the bed. Later, there was no more room for them, so I asked Dahai to report to the factory, and only then was they allocated that apartment..."

In the 1980s, not only were various scarce materials in short supply, but housing was also a huge headache.

If there is an independent yard, you can build a side room.

People like the Yan family who live in large courtyards or quadrangles.

The yards are shared. If your family wants to build one, other families may not agree.

The timber mill has quotas every year, but due to the large population and small number of houses, there are simply not enough to go around.

There are always conflicts among the Hui people because of fighting over houses.

The leaders above are also in a difficult situation.

Houses can only be allocated based on years of work, educational level and contribution.

This will disqualify some people.

The issue of housing allocation has been dragging on for several years.

Finally, when Nan Nan was three years old, good luck came.

but.

Before they had time to be happy, new problems arose the moment they got the keys.

Because what I was assigned was a single dormitory with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

"It's okay if the child is young. Nan Nan will grow up in a few years. Will she still have to sleep in the same bed with me and her father?"

So, they sorted out the best solutions based on actual needs.

Yan Dahai lived in the house alone, and Lin Xiangli continued to live in Yan's house with her daughter.

"It was this separation that gave them the opportunity. Not long after that, they got divorced due to a big incident. You know what happened afterwards."

Nearly ten years have passed, and the Yan family’s housing problem remains the same.

There is still not enough room for people to live in.

Now there is an unborn child, so...

"So, there's one more person in the family. Who do you think it will be?"

Wang Shuping frowned after hearing this.

"Even if there's not enough room, they can't kick Nan Nan out."

"Haha~That may not be the case."

After Lin Xiangli sneered, her expression suddenly became serious.

He pulled the chair forward and spoke to Wang Shuping in a serious tone.

"I want you to do something for me."

"Fourth sister, tell me."

"I have discussed this with Yan Dahai. He didn't mind at all when he heard that I wanted Nan Nan to stay in Shunze. Humph, I can't see it over the phone. I wonder how happy he must be..."

Lin Xiangli paused and continued.

"After you go back, help me keep an eye on Nan Nan and go to Yan's house more often. If you find them bullying my daughter, take her away immediately!"

Although Wang Shuping understood that the other party loved his daughter, except Feng Qianqian, everyone in the Yan family was related to Yan Shengnan by blood.

She agreed.

But they never expected that one day, what Lin Xiangli was worried about really happened, and not only that, it was far beyond their expectations...
