Sweet 80s

Zhou Zheng didn't understand the meaning behind these words at this time, and simply thought that he had just figured it out.

"That's right. Have a baby while you're still young. Your body will recover faster. When my wife gave birth..."

As a person who had experienced this, he enthusiastically shared his experience with others.

Before they knew it, the two had walked out of the hospital and were about to separate and go their separate ways.

Before leaving, Yang Hongxia suggested that he and Lin Xiangdong have dinner together this weekend.

Zhou Zheng was naturally very happy, but at the same time he shook his head worriedly.

"Xiangdong may not call out. His wife just came back from Shunze, and they will definitely have a chat."

"It's okay, just ask him. If he wants to come, then he can come. If he doesn't want to come, then forget it..."

After a moment, Yang Hongxia continued to add.

"If he doesn't come, we can go eat..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zheng was stunned. It was obvious that he had not anticipated this.

"Don't get me wrong, I have a good acquaintance who just opened a noodle restaurant on Jianshe Street, and I'm going to support him. I don't have a job and I don't have many friends in the city, so I thought of asking you guys to go..."

"Okay, your friends are my friends, so we must support this place!"

After the agreed time, Zhou Zheng returned to his unit along the same route.

At the same time, Lin Xiangdong finished his meal and washed his lunch box, only to find that there were few people in the dispatch office.

It was also because it was hot and it was Friday afternoon.

Colleagues' work enthusiasm has slackened a lot, and they gather in groups of three or four to eat melon seeds and chat.

Lin Xiangdong sat in front of the phone, the electric fan above his head creaking non-stop.

A stack of bills on the table, held together by a bright red clip, were rustling in the wind from above.

The windows of the dispatch office face north, so it is relatively cool in the morning. But when the sun sets, the temperature inside the room rises sharply.

Those who were afraid of heat hid in the office opposite and left the door open so that they would not be delayed in answering the phone if it came in.

Lin Xiangdong reorganized his words in his mind and then made a phone call.

The beeping sound in the microphone was not heard for long before it was picked up.

Lin Xiangli's voice came into the receiver from the other end of the phone.

"Fourth sister, I'm Xiaowu, are you busy now?"

When Lin Xiangli suddenly received the call, she thought that Wang Shuping and others had encountered some trouble on the road and were delayed in returning home.

So she asked nervously, "What's wrong? Xiaoping and the others haven't come home yet. They should have arrived this morning..."

"It's not about this."

After Lin Xiangdong denied it, it was not difficult to hear the other party let out a long sigh of relief through the microphone.

Nanhe City is located in Zhongyuan Province. It was the hottest time of the year at the end of July, and the air was filled with a feeling of dryness and heat that seemed to burn the trachea.

What's more, Shunze City is hot and has the unique humidity of the south.

Lin Xiangli's shop was empty, with no one in it.

The waiter in the store sat under the fan, leaning against the wall, fiddling with his newly done manicure out of boredom.

She glanced outside for a few times, closed the door to the inner room of the store, and chatted leisurely with Lin Xiangdong.

As time passes by.

Lin Xiangdong calmly recounted the story of picking up the person at the train station.

At first, it was just a few polite words that made Lin Xiangli drowsy.

But the content that follows can completely eliminate the other party's predicament.

Until Lin Xiangli could no longer sit still, she jumped up from her chair and started yelling into the phone.

"what!!!"

With a bang, Lin Xiangli was so angry that she picked up the pen holder on the table and smashed it towards the door.

The waiter in the store was so frightened that he shuddered all over even through the door.

"Yan Dahai, that bastard, dared to hit my daughter. Lin Xiangdong, tell him that when I get back, I will kill their entire family!"

"Don't be impatient, Fourth Sister. I haven't finished yet..."

"What else is there to say? Let's just leave it at that. I'll ask Gao Yuan to book a train ticket for me. No, a plane is faster. I'll book a plane ticket..."

Lin Xiangdong also became anxious.

If I hang up the phone, the only way to contact Lin Xiangli in a short time is through the beeping machine.

If she didn't read the message, she would go to Yan's house the next day...

Thinking of this, Wang Shuping’s words suddenly popped up in Lin Xiangdong’s mind.

"The problem has been solved, and we have also secured custody of Nan Nan!"

as predicted.

"what?"

It was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the manic heart.

Lin Xiangli's tone softened a lot.

She repeated the other person's words as if she had heard it wrongly.

"I've won custody...what does that mean?"

Taking advantage of the time when he calmed down, Lin Xiangdong finally had time to explain to her what happened next.

The rest of the words were like a refreshing novel, which made Lin Xiangli feel much better.

"The custody change agreement will be out this weekend. Just go to the court to sign it when you come back..."

Hear this.

The furious expression on her face a few minutes ago disappeared, and Lin Xiangli couldn't help but smile.

"I don't know what custody is, but Xiao Ping was determined to get Yan to agree to this, and she even acted like a rogue for this..."

With Lin Xiangdong's more detailed description.

Lin Xiangli laughed out loud unconsciously.

For a mother who was unable to stay with her daughter, her heart was more painful than anyone else's.

Especially at the moment when she voluntarily gave up the custody, it felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.

How could she raise a child during those years after her divorce when she had no job and no income?

That's why he resolutely went south to pan for gold, so that his hard work could allow his daughter to enjoy life.

Every time Lin Xiangli went back to Nanhe to see her daughter, she had to endure Yan's mother's expression, and she naturally knew why.

This is an experience that only a mother can understand.

What Wang Shuping understood was not her, but the heart of a mother who was always thinking about and caring about her children.

Just as Wang Shuping said, Lin Xiangli smiled and tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently raised her hand to wipe it off and responded jokingly.

"Really? It's a pity that we didn't see her yelling and cursing. But Xiao Ping is so pretty, I'm sure she would look good even if she cursed..."

After a moment, the burning anger was completely extinguished.

She praised earnestly.

"Xiao Wu, the best thing you have done in your life is marrying Xiao Ping. As the old saying goes, a good wife brings prosperity to three generations. You must cherish her."

Lin Xiangdong chuckled a few times.

"That's right. It doesn't matter who I am. Anyone can marry into our Lin family. If you want to marry a wife, you must marry the best woman in the world..."

Lin Xiangdong, who was originally nervous, became much more relaxed as Lin Xiangli's mood changed and started joking with her.

When Zhou Zheng returned to the unit through the small door, the sun was about to sink into the horizon.

He opened the car door and excitedly wanted to convey Yang Hongxia's words to Lin Xiangdong and persuade him to go to the appointment together, but he found that the car's cab was empty.

"Where did this kid go?"

Zhou Zheng was muttering to himself when Xu Xinnian came towards him carrying a bucket of water.

"Hey Xiao Xu, have you seen Xiangdong?"

Xu Xinnian raised his hand and pointed to the office building not far away.

"Dispatch, I'm on the phone."

"Okay, by the way, Xu, this weekend you..."

Zhou Zheng was just about to blurt out an appointment with Xu Xinnian when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

If Lin Xiangdong went, it would make no difference whether he was called Xu Xinnian or not.

But if Lin Xiangdong doesn't go, wouldn't it be redundant to ask him to go?

No, it's not redundant, it's a hindrance.

"Um... this weekend... are you... planning on going to Xinxing City to visit your aunt?"

Xu Xinnian shook his head and responded, "No, what's the matter, Master Zhou? What's the matter?"

"No, I'm just asking..."

After answering, Zhou Zheng hurried upstairs...
