Chapter 415 Lin Wanqing

One evening, Chu Tian was repairing an old chair in the yard. Lin Wanqing came over and watched Chu Tian skillfully fiddling with the tools. She couldn't help but feel curious: "Brother Chu, you can also do carpentry work?" Chu Tian raised his head, smiled and said: "I learned it from my elders when I was a child. I can do simple repairs. The legs of this chair are a bit loose. I can still sit on it after repairing it." Lin Wanqing squatted down, looked at the work in Chu Tian's hands carefully, and exclaimed: "Brother Chu is really dexterous. There are not many young people like you who can do these skills now." Chu Tian was a little embarrassed by Lin Wanqing's praise. He scratched his head and said: "Teacher Lin, you are too kind. It's just some rough work. By the way, Teacher Lin teaches in school. He must be very popular with students, right?" Lin Wanqing's eyes revealed a trace of tenderness, and she smiled and said: "The children are very innocent and cute. Being with them, I feel full of energy."

The two chatted one after another, and before they knew it, the dusk deepened, and the twinkling lights lit up in the yard. Since then, they have communicated more and more, and the topics have become wider and wider, from trivial matters of life to poetry and songs, from family matters to ideals and ambitions, as if there are always endless things to say. As time went by, Chu Tian found that his feelings for Lin Wanqing had gradually changed. Every time he saw her, he would feel an inexplicable joy and warmth in his heart; when he didn't see her, he would involuntarily think of her smile and her voice. And Lin Wanqing also developed a different feeling for Chu Tian. She admired Chu Tian's kindness, diligence and steadfastness, and always felt at ease around him. However, their relationship did not develop smoothly. Lin Wanqing's parents were a little dissatisfied when they learned that she was close to an ordinary tenant of a quadrangle. They felt that their daughter was a regular teacher and should find someone who was well-matched, had a stable job and social status. One day, Lin Wanqing's parents came to the quadrangle and met Chu Tian. Father Lin looked Chu Tian up and down, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Are you Chu Tian? I heard Wanqing mention you. Our Wanqing has been spoiled since she was a child. We hope that she can find someone who can make her happy. Do you think you can do it?" Chu Tian felt the hostility of Father Lin, but he still said sincerely: "Uncle, I know that I may not be rich now, but I will work hard, treat Wanqing sincerely, and make her happy." Mother Lin also said: "Happiness is not just talk, what are your plans? Wanqing has a stable job and a guaranteed life in the future. You can't let her live a hard life with you, right?" Lin Wanqing stood aside and said anxiously: "Mom and Dad, don't say that about Chu Tian. He is a good man and we are very happy together." Father Lin frowned and said: "Wanqing, you are still young and don't understand these. Marriage is not a joke. We are doing this for your own good." Chu Tian looked at Lin Wanqing's embarrassment and felt a little bitter. He knew that what Lin Wanqing's parents said made sense. Although he liked Lin Wanqing, the current situation really couldn't give her a clear future.

Under the pressure of Lin Wanqing's parents, the relationship between the two came to a standstill. Although Lin Wanqing was reluctant, she didn't want to make her parents too sad; Chu Tian fell into a deep contradiction. On the one hand, he didn't want to give up this relationship, but on the other hand, he felt that he couldn't be too selfish and delay Lin Wanqing. Days passed day by day in this dull atmosphere, and life in the courtyard seemed to have lost its former color. Chu Tian was immersed in work all day, trying to numb himself with busyness; Lin Wanqing forced a smile at school, but she was always thinking about the conflict between Chu Tian and her parents. However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. By chance, Lin Wanqing encountered some troubles in school. There were several naughty students who made trouble in class, didn't listen to her discipline, and even spoke rudely. Lin Wanqing was very aggrieved, and she didn't know how to deal with these children. When Chu Tian learned about this, he put down his work without hesitation and rushed to school. He found those students, seriously criticized their behavior, and patiently reasoned with them. Chu Tian moved those students with his sincerity and kindness. They realized their mistakes and apologized to Lin Wanqing. Lin Wanqing was moved when she saw Chu Tian standing up for her. At that moment, she was more certain of her feelings for Chu Tian. Chu Tian also understood that he could not give up so easily. For Lin Wanqing, he was willing to work hard to fight for their future. Since then, Chu Tian has worked harder. He used his spare time to learn various skills and improve his abilities. He began to try to do some small business. Although the process was difficult, he never complained. Lin Wanqing was also trying to persuade her parents. She told them about Chu Tian's changes and efforts to let them see Chu Tian's sincerity. Slowly, Lin's father and mother's attitude also loosened, and they began to re-examine Chu Tian, ​​a young man. After a period of hard work, Chu Tian's business gradually improved and his income stabilized. He used his savings to rent a small store near the courtyard and opened a small grocery store. His life gradually got on track. Finally, on a sunny day, Chu Tian came to Lin Wanqing's house with gifts and once again expressed his feelings and determination to Lin's father and mother. Looking at Chu Tian's current appearance, Lin's father also had some recognition in his heart. He said earnestly: "Chu Tian, ​​I can see that you are a motivated child. Since you like Wanqing so much and are willing to work hard for her, then we will hand Wanqing over to you. But you must remember to treat her well, otherwise we will not forgive you." Chu Tian nodded excitedly, with tears of happiness flashing in his eyes. He knew that he had finally won the recognition of Lin Wanqing's parents and their love. Back in the courtyard, Chu Tian and Lin Wanqing walked hand in hand in the yard, and the neighbors cast their blessing eyes. Under the old locust tree, the two hugged each other tightly, and the sun shone on them, as if they were coated with a layer of golden brilliance. From now on, they will start their happy life in this courtyard, walk through the long river of time together, and witness the beauty and tenacity of love.

The night enveloped the courtyard, and the dim light in the house flickered, just like Qin Huairu's shaky mood at the moment. She sat on the bed, staring blankly ahead, and the figure of Chu Tian kept appearing in her mind, as well as the gossip she heard in the yard today - a girl was passionately pursuing Chu Tian.
