Chapter 246 An Xin wants to break off the engagement, and plans a new house in the courtyard
An Xin's hand trembled and she pulled it back. She pinched the corner of her clothes and avoided Lin Chen's gaze... She lowered her head and felt a little at a loss.
"We can't do this. Others may not know, but you know it best. My father has fled to Taiwan, and our family's future is in danger. And you... you have such a bright future, you are the youngest and most promising cadre in the factory. I can't harm you..."
Lin Chen stretched out his index finger and slowly lifted An Xin's round chin, and the two looked into each other's eyes again.
"Didn't I tell you that I will slowly find a way to solve it? Just go to work with peace of mind."
This time An Xin became even more nervous. She was the only one who knew what she was thinking... Lin Chen's actions were so provocative, and she was not a little girl... She could clearly feel the heat in Lin Chen's eyes...
"You...can you give me some time to calm down? The matter of the Ouyang family has not been clarified yet. Wait until I have resolved it and then I will answer you. I...I don't want to bear the shackles. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Chen held her tender little hand again and rubbed it.
"Okay, you should change your clothes... It's so hot, aren't you afraid of sweating? Take this money back and buy some summer clothes with Anjie..."
Just like that, An Xin brought back another twenty yuan. When she opened it, she found another twenty yuan...
She knew she had fallen in love with him, and took a deep breath as she looked at the money in her hand. The Ouyang family's marriage was cancelled...
After Lin Chen left the Medical Department, he went to the Security Department...

A canteen kitchen after lunch
Sha Zhu was laughing and washing and mopping the floor with a few women...
"Shazhu, you are eighteen now! It's time to ask Master He to introduce you to a date..."
When Sha Zhu heard the introduction of a date, he immediately smiled: "It's still early. This is not the old society. We must obey the call... My dad said he would ask someone to introduce me to someone when I'm 20."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're so stubborn! Why don't you date and get married first... and then get the marriage certificate when you're twenty."
Several women talked to each other, making Xiao Shazhu eager to make a move...
He also wanted to hug his wife and children and have a warm bed, but unfortunately he had no idea...
A similar scene was also happening in the workshop, and Jia Dongxu and others were telling Liu Daleng about it.
"Guangqi, Wang Cuiping, the quality inspector in the third workshop, is pretty good! You can give it a try..."
Thinking of Wang Cuiping, Liu Daleng smiled bitterly. He had already tried it before, but the girl didn't care about him at all...
"Brother Sanbang, stop teasing me. That quality inspector has too high standards. She doesn't even look down on first-class workers. How dare I, an apprentice, go and ask for trouble? Come up with something feasible..."
Jia Dongxu laughed and said: "There are so many feasible ones, why don't you think they are good enough?"
"That's right. Master is a fifth-level worker. Are you afraid that you can't find a wife? You are asking for too much..."
Liu Daleng chuckled: "I don't have high requirements, just ordinary ones are fine. We can't keep those who are too beautiful. You all know that..."
A few people laughed...they all knew what it meant.
The young man, who just turned eighteen, is now even more excited after hearing what the people around him say...
"Brother, do you think Su Chunmei and Liu Shuyue are pretty?"
A few people looked down on him. They were all experienced people and not a young man like Liu Daleng.
"Guangqi, those two are really not pretty. Not attractive at all, they just dress decently! They are the kind that only need a few more glances to be seen, understand?"
Liu Daleng thought about it and it was true...after hearing what his senior classmates said about her, she really wasn't that pretty anymore.

Evening
Xiyang Hutong Small Courtyard
In the kitchen
An Xin told her sister that Lin Chen did not take the money, and An Jie was immediately happy when he heard it.
When I came here, I was worried that I would be sent to a farm, so I didn’t bring a skirt. Now my colleagues in the office have all put on dresses, but I am still wearing spring clothes...
"Sister, tell me what happened? Why didn't Brother Lin Chen take it? Did you seduce him?"
An Xin didn't want to tell this lively sister about her own affairs, but there was really no one around her with whom she could confide.
Now I am so depressed with all my thoughts...
"Fuck you, who seduced him? He was the one who took the initiative to seduce me, okay? He said it was hot so we should change some clothes, you are happy now, right?"
Anjie jumped up excitedly. An eighteen-year-old girl would not think so much.
In the past, I had my brother and sister-in-law to take care of me at home, and now I have my sister to take care of me. It would be even better if I could follow Lin Chen in the future...
Anjie, who was used to a privileged life, had a family that had undergone tremendous changes in recent years, but she was not miserable... She only cried after living in the steel mill dormitory for half a month.
"I knew Brother Lin Chen wouldn't want it, but you insisted on returning it. Tell me how I hooked you up?"
After hesitating for a moment, An Xin said, "An Jie, I want to telegraph my brother on Sunday and ask him to cancel the engagement with the Ouyang family."
When Anjie heard her sister talking about Ouyang, she stopped cutting vegetables.
"It should have been called off long ago. Before our mother passed away, she told the Ouyang family to go find our irresponsible father! You were only seventeen when Ouyang passed away. You didn't even see each other during the best years of a girl's life... Do you have any feelings for each other? Why did the business marriage back then have to be exchanged for your happiness..."
An Jie became more and more excited. Ever since his father ran away, the Ouyang family wanted to get rid of the An family. No one wanted to admit it, so why didn't his sister let go?
Human hearts are like this. An Xin has clearly made up her mind, but she still needs someone to support her and give her a push.
"I understand. Let's send a telegram to my brother and sister-in-law on Sunday."
……
Let’s talk about two things, the courtyard side.
As soon as Lin Chen got home, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.
"Brother Lin, you're back. It's a big deal!"
Seeing the other party's happy expression, Lin Chen knew that he was going to take advantage of him again.
Yan Bugui is a man who will not do anything without profit...
"Old Yan is so happy, what's the big news?"
Yan Bugui repeated the notice from the Red Star Management Committee.
"Old Liu has already notified everyone to hold a meeting tonight to discuss this. We are going to build a lot of houses when we renovate the yard this time."
After hearing this, Lin Chen realized that this was something he had mentioned to Director Liu during the Chinese New Year.
The iron triangle of the Siheyuan is about to reach adulthood. In order to keep He Daqing and Xu Wude from moving away, Lin Chen asked Director Liu to find a way to renovate the Siheyuan in the name of the public...
"Old Yan, why are you so excited about this? There is no room for renovation in the front yard, and your children are still young!"
Yan Bugui was not excited about fighting for the land, he was excited that the He family, the Liu family, and the Xu family were going to set up a banquet again...
Yan Bugui shook his head cheerfully: "I'm not excited... am I excited? No, no..."
Lin Chen was thinking about you so much that his mouth was almost grinning to his waistband.

Jia family
Jia Zhang felt a headache when she saw Bang Geng, who was able to sit up...
The courtyard is going to divide up three areas to solve the housing problem for young people. Who doesn't want to have someone to help them along with their parents?
"Dongxu, don't you think this is a clear advantage for those three fools?"
Jia Dongxu played with his son and ignored her. He knew his mother wanted to intervene. But that was impossible...
Shazhu Liu Dalengzi is already 18 years old and just qualified. Although Da Changlian is not old enough, Jia Zhang is now on Xu Wude's boat...she doesn't dare to go against Old Xu.
"Dongxu, did you hear what I said? Don't you think about Banggeng? If there is a place in our house, I will move in first and pass it on to Banggeng in the future!"
