Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 119 118. Thinking about it will definitely have a response
After three rounds of drinking.

Zhou Xiuping, under the influence of alcohol, couldn't help but talk about the same old things and started urging people to get married again.

But this time, Lin Xiao did not give his mother the chance to go further.

Just choose to confess.

"Mom, I have a girlfriend, so stop pushing me and stop arranging blind dates for me!"

Zhou Xiuping was stunned, surprised and unable to believe it. After all, Lin Xiao had lied to her too many times.

"You have a girlfriend? Is that true?"

"This time it's true!"

"Who? Any photos?"

Zhou Xiuping still didn't quite believe it and decided to see it for herself.

Before Lin Xiao could reply, Lin Yu suddenly blurted out, "Chang'e!"

Zhou Xiuping glared at him and said, "Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Lin Yu was silent and continued playing with his phone.

Lin Xiao said seriously: "What's so good about photos? When the time is right, I will bring them to you to see the real person!"

The couple looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

Lin Xiao didn't give them a chance to think more.

Mom had her truisms, and so did he.

"Dad, Mom, after the New Year, my dad will be 50 and mom will be 49. Can we stop working?" he said.

"How can I do this without working?"

Zhou Xiuping immediately interrupted, "You haven't gotten married yet, and your brother is still studying. There will be a lot of money needed in the family in the future, and we won't be able to sit down!"

Lin Xiao knew that this would be what he would say.

Since I started working, I have advised my parents several times every year, and every time I was rejected.

The reasons for the rejection are nothing more than two: he is not married yet and Lin Yu is not yet an adult.

Lin Xiao actually knew.

In the minds of rural people, it is a big deal for their children to get married.

Until this matter is resolved, they will refuse to admit old age and will keep working even if they are old and gray.

Lin Jianping and Zhou Xiuping have two sons.

So they have two very big things on their plate, so naturally they can't stop.

Lin Xiao is a time traveler who took over someone else’s identity.

I came here during the summer vacation of my second year in high school, and then it was the final sprint of my third year in high school, and I lived on campus the whole time.

I went to Ninghai for college and then stayed there to work.

In fact, in the past ten years, he has spent very little time at home and has not had many opportunities to interact with his new parents.

And even less with my younger brother Lin Yu.

In the past few years, his relationship with this family of three was actually relatively unfamiliar. It was only in recent years that he gradually found some family feeling.

In the past, I would advise my parents not to worry about me.

But they didn't listen, and they also had to take care of their younger son, so they refused to stop making money.

Lin Xiao didn't force it.

Now that they are older, they are starting to have some minor health problems.

On Lin Xiao's side, the eldest son's health bar was finally full, and he felt that it was urgent to let his parents retire.

So he said, "I've bought a house, a car, and a girlfriend now. I've solved most of the major issues in my life. You really don't have to worry about me anymore. As for Xiaoyu, I will take care of his work and marriage in the future. You will be responsible for taking care of your health and taking care of our children in the future. Is that okay?"

Of course Zhou Xiuping refused.

"Nowadays, getting married requires more than just a car and a house. You also need to prepare gifts, three golds, and more. Some may cost hundreds of thousands!"

"How much is a few hundred thousand? Is 20 enough?" Lin Xiao asked.

"That should be... about the same!"

"One son is 20, two sons are 40, right?"

"..."

Lin Jianping and Zhou Xiumei looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything either. He took out his mobile phone and tapped a few times, then showed the amount on a bank card.

When the couple got closer to take a look, they first saw a bunch of zeros. It took them a long time to count before they figured out that there were nearly 60.

I was so scared that I gasped.

"How do you have so much money?"

Zhou Xiuping's voice trembled, not because of happiness, but because of fear.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao with sidelong eyes, and said tremblingly: "Xiaoxiao, this money...could it be..."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I know that with my current job, I can be a filial son and bring honor to my family, but it is definitely impossible to return home in glory.

He immediately explained: "This is what I earned from writing songs. Literary creation is a legal part-time job for civil servants. This money is all clean, you can rest assured!"

Although the explanation was very straightforward, Lin Jianping and Zhou Xiuping still couldn't believe it.

However, when Lin Yu heard his brother talking about making money by writing songs, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, the boy finally understood how the singing Chang'e on TV fell in love with her own brother Zhu Bajie!

If Zhu Bajie could write songs, things would seem to make sense!
"Write a song?!"

Zhou Xiuping looked confused, and it sounded like she was reading an alien language when she read these two words. "Xiaoxiao, you...how can you write a song?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "I have talent!"

Knowing that my parents didn't believe me, I quickly went to the room and took out a guitar from under the bed.

In front of my parents, I played a piece fluently.

The couple were shocked and could not believe that the person standing in front of them was their eldest son Lin Xiao, whom they had raised for more than 20 years.

While they are confused.

Lin Xiao quickly explained that he learned to play the guitar in college. After learning it, he wrote a few songs by himself, earned enough money for the down payment on a house, gave more than 100,000 yuan to his family over the years, and has the savings he has now.

Seeing is believing, Lin Jianping and Zhou Xiumei finally believed it.

"So what songs have you written? Have we heard them?" Lin Jianping asked.

Lin Xiao was just about to laugh it off.

Lin Yu suddenly replied: "Later, Human World, Nuan Nuan!"

These six words left my parents completely confused.

But it caused Lin Xiao's pupils to tremble.

Lin Xiao was so confused that he thought his brother had installed a surveillance camera on him.

After pondering for a long time, I realized that he must have discovered Han Xixi's identity and secretly searched on Baidu on his mobile phone - the mobile phone had arrived home yesterday, it was a Xiaomi, and he gave her an additional 2000 yuan as a hush money.

Lin Yu accepted it with a blank smile.

Now that he heard that his brother was making money by writing songs and had a girlfriend who was a big singer, he must have attributed all three of Han Xixi's representative works to him.

This process is actually extremely wrong.

But guess what, hey, the answers are all correct!

Lin Xiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He hoped that his younger brother could perform like this in the college entrance examination.

……

Under the public and bank card offensive of Lin Xiao’s girlfriend.

Mom and Dad finally believed that they had raised a genius son, and they smiled so hard that their mouths were crooked.

Lin Xiao mentioned again that they should retire.

Although the couple tried to refuse, they finally agreed reluctantly.

Of course, they think that songwriting is unreliable and far less stable than being a civil servant, and cannot be a source of wealth.

Therefore, even if they agreed to resign from the factories and construction sites, they still planned to grow vegetables and crops to be self-sufficient and would never ask for money from their children.

Lin Xiao knew what his parents were thinking, so he just let them do as they pleased.

We had a delicious New Year's Eve dinner.

After dinner, the family sat on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while Lin Xiao was busy replying to New Year greetings on WeChat on his mobile phone.

In recent years, everyone seems to have figured out what life is like, so the number of people sending New Year greetings on WeChat is obviously much less than in previous years.

Lin Xiao is now the deputy mayor and has thousands of contacts on his mobile phone.

But the number of New Year greetings text messages I received was actually less than when I graduated from college and just started working.

He thought it was a good thing.

This shows that everyone is devoted to their own lives and no longer believes in this meaningless social interaction.

I had just replied to all the New Year greetings messages when a new message came in.

[Xixibuxixi: Lin Xiao, Happy New Year. I wish you all the best in the new year~]

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curled up involuntarily.

He prepared to reply, but then put his phone away.

"I'm going out!"

After saying this, he put on his coat and went out.

Just as Zhou Xiuping was about to ask where they were going, Lin Jianping bumped into her arm.

She finally understood and suddenly became blind and deaf. She had complained about the dumpling-making skit on the Spring Festival Gala before, but today she actually burst into laughter.

the other side.

After Han Xixi sent a message to Lin Xiao, he sat on the sofa waiting for a reply.

As a result, more than ten minutes passed and there was no movement.

"You haven't finished the New Year's Eve dinner yet? That shouldn't be the case..."

She pursed her lips, a little depressed.

Outside the window, there was no more banging sounds, and the joy of the New Year lingered in the entire city.

But Han Xixi always felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

At this time, new news finally popped up.

【Lin: Come down~】

Han Xixi sat up straight with his eyes wide open. The sudden movement scared Liu Liyun.

【Xia: Now?】

[Lin: Yes, it’s downstairs]

Han Xixi looked at these few short words, and a feeling of joy immediately emanated from every cell in her body, quickly enveloping her entire being.

He immediately got up, ran to the room to change clothes, and ran out the door.

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk~" she said.

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, no, I'll be back in a minute!"

Han Xixi laughed so hard that his eyes were wide open.

Liu Liyun had nothing to understand, so she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, it's okay if you don't come back!"

Han Xixi frowned and walked out without thinking too much.

She ran downstairs and out of the unit door. She saw a tall figure standing under the lights of the buildings, welcoming her arrival with burning eyes.

"Why are you back?"

Xixi ran up to her, her voice full of wavy lines.

Lin Xiao smiled, helped her tie the scarf around her neck, and touched her frizzy head.

"Aren't you going to wish me all the best in the new year?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Now it's done!" "Huh?!"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

So…the first thing he wants to do in the new year is to see me?

This discovery made Han Xixi's whole body ferment with joy, turning into thick and sticky maltose.

"Want to take a walk?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Hmm~"

Han Xixi smiled brightly and nodded heavily, but then said, "But today is New Year's Eve, can we not walk around the neighborhood and go somewhere farther away?"

Lin Xiao smiled: "Okay, where do you want to go?"

Han Xixi thought for a moment and said, "By the river?"

Lin Xiao nodded directly.

They got in the car and drove towards the river.

Like Zhuxia, Ninghai is also divided into north and south sides by a river running through the city.

This river is called Nanjiang River, and it is the mother river of Nanzhou Province.

The Chaobai River, where Lin Xiao works, is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Nanjiang River. After leaving Chaobai Town, it immediately merges into the surging Nanjiang River.

Jili Garden is located in the city center, not far from the Nanjiang River embankment, and can be reached in less than ten minutes by car.

The lights on both sides of the river bank are bright red.

Many people come here specifically after eating their New Year’s Eve dinner, holding Gatling fireworks and shooting them at the river, so the coast is filled with white smoke and constant rumbling sounds.

Lin Xiao parked the car.

After getting off the bus, you need to cross a road to reach the river.

Just as they were about to cross over, a group of teenagers came over laughing and crossed the road before them. They ran and jumped around wildly, and directly pushed the two people who were standing side by side away.

Han Xixi suddenly became panicked.

However, the next second, her palm was gripped by a rough touch, and the hot temperature passed through her palm all the way to her chest.

She raised her head and saw Lin Xiao's profile, frowning and glaring at the group of young students.

"I'm sorry, uncle!"

The students apologized casually and ran away laughing.

Lin Xiao became even angrier.

Is it polite to call someone uncle?!
Really are!
It's New Year's Day, there's no need to get angry with a bunch of little kids and rush to cross the road before the green light reaches the last few seconds.

The two men stretched their arms and felt resistance coming from behind.

Lin Xiao turned around and found that Han Xixi was still standing there stupidly, with their arms clasped together and stretched straight.

"Let's go!" he said.

"Oh……"

Han Xixi agreed in a daze, then followed and was led across the road.

However, that big hand showed no sign of letting go.

She pursed her lips again and again, lowered her head again and again, her ears were red from the cold night wind, and her heart was beating fast.

"There are quite a lot of people coming out at night!" Lin Xiao was standing half of his body in front, looking at the cheerful crowd and said casually.

"Um……"

"They're selling roasted sweet potatoes! It's not easy during the New Year, would you like to buy one?"

"Um……"

"go!"

Lin Xiao quickened his pace and Han Xixi almost couldn't keep up, but the strength from her arms quickly made up for the delay in her pace.

The two came to the roasted sweet potato stall.

"A baked sweet potato." Lin Xiao said.

"Two!" Han Xixi said quickly.

"One is enough, you can't finish it!"

Lin Xiao insisted.

Han Xixi pouted and said nothing more.

The stall owner was an old man who skillfully took out a hot roasted sweet potato from a black drum and put it into a bag.

"how much is it?"

"fifteen!"

"..."

Although Lin Xiao thought it was a bit outrageous, he still scanned the code and paid.

He put away his phone, took the roasted sweet potato, and was about to let go of Xixi's hand.

But it didn't work.

When I lowered my head, I found that the tender hand was still holding it tightly, applying some force.

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the owner of the palm.

The little girl buried her face in her scarf, but there was shyness and smile in the corners of her eyes.

He smiled slightly, understood what was going on, and raised the two hands that he was holding in front of Han Xixi.

"How do you eat roasted sweet potatoes like this?" he asked with a smile.

"..."

Han Xixi pursed her lips reluctantly, then loosened her hand and took the hot roasted sweet potato.

The two of them walked slowly along the embankment.

Han Xixi held the hot sweet potato in her arms and ate it in small bites with a spoon, but her mind was still thinking about the hand-holding scene just now.

Her cheeks remained flushed.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked her.

"……Um!"

She nodded.

Lin Xiao immediately said: "Give me a taste!"

As he said this, he naturally opened his mouth towards her.

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, then she picked up a piece with a spoon and fed it to him. However, just as it was about to enter her mouth, she suddenly had a bad taste in her mouth and rubbed the black skin of the roasted sweet potato directly on it with her backhand.

"Um?!!"

Lin Xiao was caught off guard and was smeared with slander.

Han Xixi's prank succeeded, and he quickly ran away, laughing so hard in front.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiao asked, wiping his mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Hmph, I'll punish you!"

Han Xixi looked proud.

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly: "Han Xixi, you are so heartless! I ran back and forth all night and brought you out for a walk from afar. Not only did I not get a reward, but I actually have to accept a punishment?"

Han Xixi didn't feel guilty at all. She snorted and became even more arrogant.

"Who told you not to buy me two roasted sweet potatoes? You actually want to steal my food. Humph, you wish!"

"..."

Lin Xiao was speechless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't you know that eating too many sweet potatoes will make you fart?"

"???"

Han Xixi widened his eyes.

"Is this true? Are you lying?"

"You'll know if I'm lying in a moment..."

Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, Han Xixi already felt something moving in her stomach and quickly pursed her lips.

She remembered the last time in her apartment, when he held her stomach to relieve the pain during her period, but his hot hands ended up causing her to deflate.

Although I ran to the bathroom to solve it in time.

But she always felt that Lin Xiao heard it!
amount……

So awkward, it doesn't feel like a sweet relationship at all!
Now I feel like the scene is about to reappear... Is this what they call "if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response"? !

Han Xixi suppressed the rumbling in his stomach, determined not to let such an embarrassing thing happen again, so he casually said, "Let's go to the front and take a look..."

Before he finished speaking, he ran forward.

Lin Xiao was a little shocked. He didn't expect that she, who looked so cute, had such a dynamic side. It was a bit funny.

Follow behind slowly and steadily.

Although I tried to avoid it, I still seemed to hear the echo, which was very embarrassing.

He quickly turned around and looked at the endless embankment decorated with lights and the noisy crowd on the shore, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's so lively! Jade plum blossoms, snowy willows and thousands of houses are bustling, and fireworks are blooming for ten miles!"

Han Xixi tilted her head when she heard this: "Huh?"

Lin Xiao rubbed her head hard.

"Read more books, silly Xixi!"

"???"

Han Xixi was furious and immediately stamped his feet and shouted: "Lin Xiao!!!"

Then they chased after him and started beating him.

The two of them played happily, and before they knew it, it was past ten o'clock and they walked back.

Leave the embankment.

The car is parked across the road and I have to cross the same intersection.

When the two of them got there, the light was red.

Han Xixi stopped and waited for the light.

However, Lin Xiao saw that there were no cars or people on the road, so he just walked over. After taking two steps, he realized that no one was following him.

"Go!"

He turned back.

Han Xixi shook his head.

Lin Xiao frowned, finding it funny: How dare an adult like you not cross the road?!
So he came over, reached into her pocket, grabbed the little hand that was hibernating inside, and directly grasped it in his palm, pulling it forward.

The light turned green at that moment.

The two men were standing one in front and one behind, with a difference of half a body length between them.

At an empty intersection with no one around, we completed a safety guidance on how to comply with traffic regulations.

When they reached the other side of the street, Lin Xiao let go of her hand and rubbed her frizzy hair helplessly.

"Little girl, you have to learn to cross the road by yourself in the future, okay?" He said to her in a funny tone.

Han Xixi frowned.

After a moment of pause, she realized that Lin Xiao had misunderstood her and thought that she was waiting for the red light because she was afraid to cross the road.

I suddenly felt a little funny and a little shy.

"I'm not……"

She wanted to explain.

But thinking back to the warmth of her hand being wrapped around it and the sense of security she had just felt, she swallowed the words back.

"Ok!"

She nodded heavily, smiling brightly, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Lin Xiao: “???”
