Chapter 591: Chapter 590: How to Go with the Flow
Time flew by, and before I knew it, the eve of May Day had arrived.
Ever since Lin Xia returned from the provincial capital, she started to get busy.
Not only did she have to attend to her career, but she also had to find a partner for Lin Chun.
In the meantime, Lin Chun had met with several girls one after another.
Some were colleagues from Luo Yue’s workplace, and some were neighbors introduced by Lin Qiu’s master, Tao Da Nainai.
All of the girls had stable jobs, were pretty and well-mannered, and as for their family backgrounds, they came from average families.
Lin Xia didn’t have many requirements for these things; as long as the person had good character and looked decent, that was fine.
Of course, Lin Xia’s approval was not enough; in the end, it depended on whether Lin Chun and the girls’ families hit it off.
As a result, there was not a single one that Lin Chun fancied.
Naturally, there were girls who didn’t fancy him either.
Lin Xia couldn’t help scratching her head. She actually understood what her big brother was thinking, but it wasn’t possible to have Jiang Mingqing as her sister-in-law.
Moreover, Jiang Mingqing didn’t fancy Lin Chun either.
In one’s lifetime, one should marry someone with whom they are compatible; with such a person, even the simplest meals can be comforting and satisfying.
If you marry someone you love but who does not love you back, a marriage of convenience, neither party will truly be happy.
"Big brother, I think that Miss Mu introduced by Tao Da Nainai is quite nice! She is tall and pretty, and you can tell by the way she talks that she is a frank person!"
Lin Xia wanted to take advantage of Lin Qiu being away to deliver food to Lin Dong at the No. 1 Middle School, leaving only the two of them at home, to try to persuade her big brother.
Lin Chun paused in the act of picking up food, he slightly pursed his lips and looked at Lin Xia with a gentle smile, "Xiaoxia! I know that girl is nice, but I just don’t feel anything for her! I think we’re not quite suitable!
You see how busy you are, having to manage the shop and also work on the factory your uncle and you are setting up. Don’t worry about my marriage! Just let nature take its course!"
"Big brother, how can we just let nature take its course? You’re twenty-five this year, and it’s your zodiac year. If you don’t hurry up and start looking for someone now, it will only get harder to find someone as time goes on!"
Lin Xia really felt like she had turned into a busybody, fretting over one thing after another.
Even though it might be somewhat easier for men who are older to find someone than for women, why not be proactive and start looking sooner rather than dragging it out?
What worried her most was that big brother Lin Chun was fixated on Jiang Mingqing, and he might end up wasting time pining for someone unattainable.
"I understand, Xiaoxia! But looking for a partner isn’t like buying vegetables, where you pick out what you want and take it home.
I’m looking for someone to spend my life with. At the very least, I should find her pleasant to the eye and agreeable to the heart, right?
Otherwise, how could we date? How could we get married?"
Lin Chun suddenly lost his appetite; he understood his little sister’s good intentions.
He had gone straight to an out-of-town job after a few years at his workplace and came back after three years, just after the New Year, reaching his zodiac year.
But honestly, of the few girls he had met, he had not felt a thing for any of them.
He couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be in a relationship, get married, and have children with any one of them.
He knew he was ordinary, with no particular outstanding qualities.
His own conditions were nothing special; if it weren’t for his sister’s ability to earn money, the family having a house and several businesses, outsiders might think their family was in a particularly good position.
Just by himself, he definitely wouldn’t have had such great appeal.
"Older brother! What you’re saying isn’t without reason! Then I’ll ask my friends to look out for other girls! We can forget about that one!"
Lin Xia had no choice but to compromise, as she truly wanted her older brother to quickly find someone, but she didn’t want him to settle for someone he didn’t like, living a life of mere appearances together.
In his previous life, he had died young, and in this life, with the changes that had happened, she wished not only for him to live a long life but also greedily wanted him to be happy and blessed.
Lin Chun looked seriously at Lin Xia, "Xiaoxia! Now is a critical moment for Dongzi’s exam revision, let’s put all our effort into supporting him!
As for my situation, I’ll also try to get my colleagues to help out, okay? Actually, Sister Liu from our unit casually mentioned the other day that she wanted to introduce me to someone!"
Lin Xia rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Okay! If that person is reliable, it’s better to have more people introducing you, isn’t it!"
She knew in her heart that this was not something that could be forced.
It was best to let nature take its course and see how things turned out.
The smile on Lin Chun’s face grew, "Then I’ll mention it to her! Oh, when do you plan to go to Lu Zheng’s? After Dongzi finishes his exam?"
Although he was somewhat reluctant to see his youngest sister leave, once a girl is married, she belongs to someone else’s family.
Her not being together with Lu Zheng, and without children, definitely couldn’t continue indefinitely.
He couldn’t allow them to become a burden and affect his youngest sister’s marriage and life.
"Let’s wait and see after he finishes his exam, to see how he does. When he goes to university, I also want to see him off to school! And these business dealings, they’re not something you can just drop!"
Lin Xia placed great importance on Lin Dong attending university because in the previous life, her brother had been such a good student but had to drop out, never getting another chance to study.
Now, as he was about to go to university, it wasn’t just about fulfilling his own dream, but also theirs.
She was also hesitating about what to do with the businesses in her hand.
Whether to hand them over to someone or to cash out, she hadn’t decided yet.
"Dongzi is a good student! He will definitely get into a good university!" Glancing at the living room clock, Lin Chun exclaimed with a start, "Shouldn’t Xiaoqiu be back from delivering the meal?"
Lately, to ensure Lin Dong had nutritious food, Lin Qiu had been leaving home just after ten every morning to deliver meals to him at the high school.
No sooner had Lin Chun’s words fallen than the sound of the front door announced someone’s arrival.
"She must be back!" Lin Xia got up and walked to the door, only to see Lin Qiu wheeling her bicycle into the courtyard.
After parking her bicycle, Lin Qiu came in, wiping the sweat from her forehead and glanced at the food on the table, "Sis! You haven’t finished eating yet?"
"Just a few bites left!" Lin Xia took the bag from Lin Qiu’s hand, "Go wash your hands and eat."
As she washed her hands, Lin Qiu, bubbling with excitement, said to Lin Xia, "Sis! Dongzi said they get a day off for May Day, but they have to go back for evening self-study."
"Is that so? That’s good, too! I’ll prepare some extra delicious food for him in advance to help him refuel! Studying really drains the brain!" Lin Xia was very pleased to hear it.
Brother studying so hard, and they, as his siblings, being helpless to share the burden, could only make an effort with food and drink.
Lin Qiu sat down at the dining table, and after having a few bites, she suddenly brought up, "Oh, right! When I was at the high school, I ran into Brother Two’s little sister! We even spoke a few words! She seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight!"
"Really!" Lin Xia, bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, shifted her gaze to Lin Chun.
Upon hearing the name Jiang Mingqing, Lin Chun’s back tensed up, but he dared not show it and had to pretend to casually ask, "Xiaoqiu! Didn’t you used to have a bad impression of her?"
Swallowing her mouthful of food, Lin Qiu shrugged, "I still don’t have a good impression of her! But when she initiated conversation, I couldn’t just ignore her! Besides, Second Brother has always been really nice to me, I can’t be cold to her just because of my impressions, considering Brother Two!"
