This Young Man Is Not Bad
Father An didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and began to pick up the food.
"Xiao Lin, what are your and Ranran's plans for the future? Hearing Mother An's question, Lin Chen almost spat out the rice he had just stuffed into his mouth.
He had just relaxed a little. Why did such a difficult question suddenly appear?
"Lin Chen raised his head and began to consider his words."Ranran and I like the army very much. When we retire, we can do some business together.”
"Won't it be too late to start a business after you've retired? Besides, the business world isn't simple. Mother An frowned and said worriedly.
An Ran elbowed Lin Chen's arm, then glanced in the direction of Mother An with an anxious expression.
"Alright, alright."
Lin Chen felt a headache coming on. He had finally avoided the most important question, and now he had to comfort Mother An. He suddenly felt that he did not have enough words.
He slowly took a deep breath and looked at Mother An. He smiled and said,"Auntie, don't worry. My family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine doctors. I also do some medicinal herbs business. When the time comes, I'll just learn more from the elders in my family.”
" Medicinal herbs business? Surnamed Lin?" A trace of surprise flashed in Father An's eyes as he asked,""The Lin family of Haitian City?"
" Uncle knows?" Lin Chen was also a little surprised. Although his family was an aristocratic family, their reputation shouldn't be so big that everyone in the Southeast business world knew about them.
"In the early years, I did some medicinal herbs business and had some dealings.”Father An said. His voice was a little gentler, and it was obvious that he had a certain degree of approval for Lin Chen.
Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Father An had a good impression of the elders in his family and had developed some trust in him.
It was not an exchange of interests between the two families. It was not realistic to make Father An like him no matter what.
After all, in Father An's eyes, the person she was messing with was her lover from her previous life. It was already good enough for her to ease her expression a little.
At this moment, Mother An and Aunt Zhang were huddled together and muttering something. Then, Mother An's eyes widened as if she suddenly understood something. She suddenly said,"Look at my brain. Why did I turn to this?”
Lin Chen's heart tightened. He instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen down there.
As expected, after Mother An finished speaking, she smiled at Lin Chen."Xiao Lin, Auntie wasn't asking about your family's situation just now. I was asking if you and Ranran have any plans for marriage?”
"This, recently…I really haven't considered it." Lin Chen replied awkwardly. He had been trying his best to avoid this topic, but he did not expect Mother An to react.
"No plans?" Mother An frowned again.”
" That's not what I meant." Lin Chen replied carefully. If he didn't give a good answer, today's show would be in vain.
"It's mainly because I've been too busy in the army recently, so I didn't think of this for the time being. However, it definitely won't take so long. Otherwise, Ranran wouldn't have brought me to see you two, right?”
Hearing Lin Chen's words, even Anran couldn't help but give him a thumbs up under the table.
He was too good at making things up. With such talent, as long as he learned simple makeup, he would definitely be able to pass the disguised investigation course immediately.
"You're right." Mother An's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face again."Young people should focus on the work at hand.”
Lin Chen didn't dare to let out a sigh of relief this time. He was on guard, afraid that some unexpected questions would pop up from Mother and Father An's mouth.
However, it seemed that he was worrying too much this time. Other than Father An, who did not have a smile on his face, everyone else was chatting happily at the dining table.
Mother An and Auntie Zhang would put food into Lin Chen's bowl from time to time and say,"Young men in the army, eat more to replenish your nutrition.”
Lin Chen really wanted to say that the food in the army was not bad. He could not eat so much.
However, after hesitating for a long time, he did not dare to say these words. When lunch was over, Lin Chen only felt that his stomach was so bloated that he could not even walk.
After resting for a while, Lin Chen helped Aunt Zhang and Mother An with the housework and chatted with Mother An for half the afternoon. Then, Lin Chen and An Ran got up and prepared to return to the army.
"Ranran, bring Little Lin over to play next time during the holidays." Mother An reminded An Ran at the door.
"I know. As long as he's not busy, I'll definitely bring him over.”An Ran promised.
"Xiao Lin, you can come to our house when you have nothing to do. Don't be shy with strangers.”Mother An looked at Lin Chen again.
"Okay, Auntie." Lin Chen replied politely. Then, Anran held his arm and walked towards the entrance of the community.
" Phew…" After walking out of the neighborhood, Lin Chen hurriedly let out a long breath, as if he had relieved a great deal of pressure.
"I know you've worked hard. Let's go. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight.”Anran looked at Lin Chen with understanding.
" Ranran, I…" Seeing Anran glaring at him, Lin Chen quickly changed his words."It's just a slip of the tongue. Captain, let's go back directly. I just want to rest.”
"No way, you can't do it just like that. Looks like I'll have to increase your training when I get back. An Ran teased.
Lin Chen sighed helplessly." It has nothing to do with my physical fitness. It's mainly the mental pressure. It's too much."”
What the two of them did not know was that Mother An, Father An, and Auntie Zhang were sitting on the sofa in the living room and discussing softly.
"I think Xiao Lin and his gang are not bad. They are honest, have good eyes, and are very smart.”Aunt Zhang said with a smile. She was very satisfied with Lin Chen's performance.
Mother An also nodded." It's definitely not someone Anran hired. Look at how nervous he was when he came in. It's obvious that this is his first time entering his father-in-law's house."”
"Don't expect too much from him. After all, we've only met him once. In the future, we'll find an opportunity to eat more and observe more.”Father An said in a deep voice.
Mother An glared at him and said,"Of course, we have to observe, but we can't delay our daughter. They're young and don't know what's important. They're not in a hurry to get married.”
"You want to talk to them about marriage after dinner? Auntie Zhang frowned."Isn't it too fast? It's like we're in a hurry to stuff Ranran out."”
Mother An sighed." If it's possible, I really want them to get the wedding done as soon as possible."”
After saying that, she looked up at Father An."Don't you know Xiao Lin's family? Find an opportunity to let his family know. If they think it's suitable, we'll discuss it together and set a date for Xiao Lin and Ranran.”
Father An thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement."I'll be going to Tianhai City in a while. When the time comes, I'll go to their house and ask. I can also get to know Xiao Lin better.”
