After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

But most parents also hope to leave without regrets, or at least hope to see their children live a happy life.

It does not necessarily mean having many children and grandchildren to carry on the family line. This is no longer the mainstream pursuit today.

Having someone to support each other, or proving that a person can be strong enough to survive, can allow them to leave in peace.

Lin Guochuan's physical examination report finally identified it as lung nodules. Although it is currently far from cancer, it is necessary to continue to observe the changes in the nodules. If it continues to grow larger year by year, minimally invasive chest surgery will be required if necessary.

But in a sense, the crisis has been temporarily resolved.

But after this psychological struggle, Lin Guochuan finally let it go.

He resigned from his job which he had held for nearly twenty years and decided to concentrate on decorating his home.

The decoration will inhale some bad gases, so Lin Guochuan also needs someone to help move around and take care of it.

Lin Youxi also successfully persuaded Liang Meijuan to return to Baimei County, and take this opportunity to take good care of Lin Guochuan and spend the two years of married life that they had lost.

As for the three great ones——

Do you need someone to take care of you?

Don't need it?

It's really not needed now.

They can take care of themselves.

Chapter 284 Dinner at Liu Xiaoyu's House

Lin Guochuan's medical examination report fully illustrates what it means to suffer from constant illness in middle age. In addition to the lung nodules that almost scared him to death, Lin Guochuan's report also showed many other miscellaneous symptoms and abnormalities, and Liang Meijuan was also found to have low blood sugar.

The two people who had completed the physical examination for the first time began to pay attention to their health after experiencing this torture. Under Lin Youxi's persuasion, Youxi's parents decided to take good care of themselves together for a period of time and complete the decoration work at home.

Since Liang Meijuan is not going to take care of the three children, it means that Mei Youyuan and his two children will have to go to Jiangcheng to study alone.

If this situation had happened in the past, not to mention others, Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia would have been the first to jump out and strongly oppose it. High school study and life are already very busy, and if he has to take care of himself, then how can he take the college entrance examination?

However, the current three major ones really don’t need to work too hard on their studies.

At present, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi both have corresponding score reduction policies. Xia Yuan has the qualification for admission as an art student, and as long as his cultural score is above the first-tier line, he can basically choose any school in the country; and Lin Youxi has directly obtained the qualification for admission to several 985 prestigious universities. Only Mei Fang lost the opportunity to reduce points because she gave up the NOI Olympiad.

However, the fact that he is the big boss behind Station C has not been made public. Some schools have already invited Mei Fang to enroll in their own programs because of his achievements in the gaming industry.

Mei Fang is obviously not very interested in independent enrollment. He now has a very clear plan for the future - he does not need to choose a top university. What he needs is a school that can give him enough "privileges" to run a company, and he also hopes that the friends he meets in this school can also help his career.

Therefore, the region where the school is located, the school's educational funding, and the school's level of openness will be Mei's top priorities.

In fact, he also has a few ideal targets, but he will leave this topic for consideration until his senior year of high school.

After spending the New Year in Baimei County, Mei Fang did not return to Baizhou with his parents. He stayed in Baimei County and went back and forth to his girlfriends' homes, trying to cultivate the relationship between the two parents.

As an elementary school teacher who watched Mei Fang grow up and educated him, Yu Ling naturally had a trust in Mei Fang that went beyond that of a prospective mother-in-law and a prospective son-in-law;

Although Xia Xun was reluctant to let his precious daughter fall into the hands of the little Fang kid, Mei Fang was indeed a good match for Yuan Yuan, and he had to admit this fact no matter how much he disliked it;

Liang Meijuan and Mei Fang have been together for two years, and she is very impressed with Mei Fang's performance in Jiangcheng in the past two years. Although it is a pity that Youxi and Mei Fang cannot be together, she loves this child who her daughter trusts unconditionally from the bottom of her heart, and she has also witnessed their growth together;

Although Lin Guochuan and Mei Fang have few interactions, in his eyes, Mei Fang has long been the most important boy in his daughter Youxi's heart. More than ten years of getting along with each other also allow him to say that he is confident in leaving his daughter to Mei Fang's care.

Currently, the four heads of the Xia and Lin families have unparalleled trust in Mei Fang, which is the result of Mei Fang's cultivation over more than ten years.

Although this trust is hard to come by, it can be destroyed in an instant. After all, as long as Mei Fang and Xia Yuan break up, if one of them doesn't explain clearly, it will easily lead to an unexplainable situation. Therefore, Mei Fang must be fully prepared for the breakup drama in the second half of this year.

The official start time for the second year of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School is still on the 16th day of the first lunar month, but Mei Fang and his colleagues planned to go there on the 7th day, because most companies choose to go back to work on the 8th day, and as a leader, Mei Fang has to distribute red envelopes for the start of work. These small details can increase the human touch of the company.

However, on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, Liu Xiaoyu took the initiative to contact Mei Fang, saying that she had explained the situation to her family. Her father also agreed to Liu Xiaoyu studying music, but also expressed his desire to meet Mei Fang and Xia Yuan and then treat everyone to a meal.

Liu Xiaoyu spoke very sincerely on the phone, and Mei Fang also said that he would discuss with Xia Yuan before deciding whether to go or not. After all, Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu's father have a connection with each other. If Yuanyuan feels embarrassed, Mei Fang will definitely not let his childhood sweetheart suffer.

However, after Mei Fang explained the matter to Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan did not show any resistance:

"Go, go, go... Of course you have to go! This is the result of your hard work, Fang. I can't let it go to waste."

Mei Fang was very obedient to his male ethics and told Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi about his interactions with Liu Xiaoyu, so she and Youxi also understood the reason for Liu Xiaoyu's change.

Xia Yuan seemed very excited. "Xiao Yu has finally made up her mind to start making music seriously. That's great. This way my band won't be short of a keyboard player..."

"Then you only have drummers left to recruit. If you recruit openly, it should be easy to find companions, right?"

"Hmm... There's no rush for that. Everyone has been busy with their studies these past two years, and I definitely can't hold them back, especially Xiaoxue... Her grades are probably pretty bad right now."

"Grades don't determine everything. Peng Xue and her classmates don't have the resources we have to ensure both course progress and career development..."

"That's true."

Mei Fang called Liu Xiaoyu back and said that he would go there with Xia Yuan at that time. Liu Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone seemed very happy. He made an appointment with Mei Fang and asked about Mei Fang and Xia Yuan's tastes in advance.

This time, Mei Fang only brought Xia Yuan to visit Liu Xiaoyu's home. Lin Youxi did not accept the invitation and stayed at home with her family.

He and Xia Yuan came to Liu Xiaoyu's house one after the other, carrying things. As soon as they knocked on the door, they saw Liu Xiaoyu, who was dressed at home. She opened the door and welcomed them in warmly. "No need to change shoes, just wear shoe covers. Come on, Yuanyuan, the shoe covers are here."

Mei Fang and Xia Yuan changed their shoes and came in. A middle-aged man came towards them. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan immediately stepped forward to greet him:

"Hello Uncle Liu."

"Hello, hello...you must be Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, right? Please come in!"

Liu Xiaoyu's father had a square face and looked full of energy. Although Liu Xiaoyu had described him to Mei Fang as a very chauvinistic parent, he was very polite when entertaining Mei Fang and Xia Yuan. He kept looking at Xia Yuan after she came in, but Xia Yuan didn't take it seriously and quickly handed over the things she brought.

"This is my first visit to your house. These are some gifts from Ah Fang and I. Please accept them, uncle."

"Oh... come here if you want... bring something else."

Xiao Yu's father took Xia Yuan's things and said, "Come to think of it, I saw you when I was a child... You were just a little girl then, but now you have become a household name."

"No... I just sing it casually. These are all things I accumulated when I was a child."

"Our Xiaoyu also loved music when she was young. She has always been very talented, but unfortunately..."

Xiaoyu's father showed a trace of regret in his eyes. Liu Xiaoyu took over the conversation and said, "Dad, there is no need to talk about this now. Today we are inviting Mei Fang and Yuan Yuan to dinner."

"Haha...yes, the room is small, please take a seat!"

Although Liu Xiaoyu's house is a single-family house, it looks smaller than Youxi's house. There is nothing in the house that can be considered new, and the color TV has a large head. Liu Xiaoyu's family consists of four people, including her parents and a younger brother who is in elementary school.

Liu Xiaoyu's younger brother is rather shy. When he saw Xia Yuanmei coming over and calling him several times, he didn't dare to say hello, but hid behind his sister Liu Xiaoyu.

That timid posture easily reminded Mei Fang of himself in his previous life.

Chapter 285 Return to Jiangcheng

This time, Xiaoyu's father invited Mei Fang and Xia Yuan to a banquet to thank them for taking care of Liu Xiaoyu in Jiangcheng. It can be said that Liu Xiaoyu went to Jiangcheng really alone, because even Xiang Bingbing often saw her parents coming over, but Xia Yuan and Mei Fang almost never saw Liu Xiaoyu's parents come to visit her. Her father also knew how important these friends were to Liu Xiaoyu.

Secondly, he also mentioned that he wanted to understand more about what Liu Xiaoyu was doing now. Since Mei Fang had made preparations in advance, he was able to answer Xiaoyu's father's questions fluently to ensure that Xiaoyu's father could support her dream with confidence.

Compared to his father's talkativeness, Liu Xiaoyu's mother didn't like to respond. She didn't look very well and just urged her son to eat well. She would look at Xia Yuan and Mei Fang from time to time, and then when her eyes met Xia Yuan's, Xia Yuan would smile away with some discomfort.

Xiao Yu's father was a person who liked the drinking culture very much. At the end of the dinner, he took the initiative to toast Xia Yuan and Mei Fang - of course, they drank fruit juice, which was considered a formal way of expressing his gratitude.

"Xiao Yu has told us a lot about you these days... I also heard that Xia Yuan, you are always obsessed with the hotel incident. But I, your uncle, have never blamed your family for anything. In fact, your father also came to me later and asked me if I wanted help. I said there was nothing I needed help with, and we didn't have any calculations against each other. If our business was not done well, we had to bear the consequences. These are all things of the past. There is nothing to talk about, and you don't have to feel any pressure."

"Uncle Liu, I know... I have discussed this matter with my father, and I am now much calmer. No matter what, Xiaoyu is a very good friend and classmate of mine, and she has helped me a lot in making music. Just like Ah Fang said just now, Xiaoyu is also a very talented girl, and I hope to pursue our musical dreams with her in the future."

After Xia Yuan and Mei Fang finished their meal at Liu Xiaoyu's house, they said goodbye to Liu's family. Liu Xiaoyu accompanied them to the door. When it was time to leave, she suddenly called Xia Yuan reluctantly and hugged her.

"Thank you for coming to my house for dinner today... Thank you so much."

"Ha... don't say that. You clearly treated me to a meal, so why are you thanking me?"

Xia Yuan gently patted Liu Xiaoyu's shoulder. "I haven't suffered as much as you, so I may not know about some of your experiences. But if you are in a bad mood or have any problems, you can talk to me... Maybe I can't give you any useful advice, but I will listen to you like Ah Fang, we are good friends."

After Liu Xiaoyu released Xia Yuan's embrace, he smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze towards Mei Fang:

"You are leaving tomorrow, right? I wish you a safe journey in advance."

Mei Fang also nodded to Liu Xiaoyu, "See you in Jiangcheng."

After leaving Liu Xiaoyu's house, Mei Fang rode his bike and took Yuanyuan home. Xia Yuan let out a long sigh on the way. Mei Fang turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I was thinking...if we hadn't run away from home and asked Dad to sell the Baimei family's restaurant, would my family end up like Xiaoyu's family... maybe Ah Fang wouldn't be with me then."

"It's as if I like you because of your family's money."

"That's not what I meant! I just meant... if my family was very poor, I wouldn't be able to learn a lot of music, and I wouldn't be smart enough to be admitted to the First Affiliated Normal School of Jiangcheng. Wouldn't I be separated from Fang Youxi and the others forever?"

"If that's the case, I'll consider other options. No matter what, I'm definitely going to find a solution with you guys."

"Really?"

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang and rested her head on his shoulder, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's real, more real than pearls - don't do that, it's a bit dangerous."

Mei Fang parked the car on the side of the road so that Xia Yuan could lean on Mei Fang's shoulder and whisper in his ear.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoyu's father is fine... I am a little scared of Xiaoyu's mother. The way she looks at me... how should I put it, it's very strange. Anyway, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"It's understandable, right? No matter how Xiaoyu and her father explain, Xiaoyu's family started to fall into decline after they took over Baimei's family. This is an indisputable fact."

Mei Fang gently touched Xia Yuan's forehead. "But this is not something you need to worry about. You just need to care about the relationship between you and Liu Xiaoyu. You are willing to visit her home for her today. Look how happy Liu Xiaoyu is?"

"What do you mean by willing to do it for her? Isn't it normal for friends to invite each other for dinner? Oh, right... I haven't even invited Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu to my house for dinner..."

Xia Yuan muttered, "Before, they thought my mother's cooking was not delicious and were afraid of destroying the good image of my mother in their hearts. Now my mother's cooking is not bad, in fact, I can bring it home."

"It's not like we haven't brought them before, haven't we invited them to our home in Jiangcheng for dinner?"

"Oh! You mean during summer vacation and National Day——"

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang and said excitedly, "But now, that place has completely become our home!"

Mei Fang turned around and gently pinched Xia Yuan's cheek, "Do you want to consider changing houses?"

"Isn't this good enough... a cozy home for the three of us. If we move out, Aunt Xiang will probably get suspicious."

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "At most, Afang, you can just move to our room and sleep."

Mei Fang deliberately acted cute and aggrieved in front of Xia Yuan: "That won't do, I can't stand it. You know You Xi——"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? I will protect you!"

Xia Yuan patted his chest and assured confidently, "Before little Ah Fang reaches adulthood, I will definitely protect his innocence."

"You can protect me? Humph... I don't trust you. You will be fast asleep by then, totally ignoring my feelings about being bullied by Youxi."
