"Um."

They had already discussed the matter of reporting Yi Mingjun and his wife with Lin Zhiheng.

Lin Zhiheng was completely numb to the couple. They only had feelings of using and hating him. They showed him no mercy, and he didn't need to be soft-hearted towards them.

The day passed quickly, and only two days remained until Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting held their banquet.

Lu Zhengting was starting to get a little nervous.

Two days later would be his and his wife's wedding night.

For other men, their wedding night is the beginning of their first wonderful night with their wives, and they hope that their performance will satisfy their wives.

But Lu Zhengting knew that no matter how he performed, he probably wouldn't be able to satisfy his wife.

He thought and thought, perhaps he could find other ways to satisfy his wife.

The next morning, Lin Qingyan asked the brigade leader for leave and went to the county town with Lin Zhiheng and Grandma Lin.

They first ate at a state-run restaurant, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where Lin Qingyan bought a set of clothes for both Grandma Lin and Lin Zhiheng.

The clothes she bought for Grandma Lin were bright red, very festive.

Grandma Lin liked it very much after putting it on, and looked at herself in the mirror in the supply and marketing cooperative again and again.

"Girl, girl, the clothes you picked for me are so beautiful."

Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered that Lu Zhengting had said the same thing before.

"Mother-in-law, did you learn your sweet talk from your grandson-in-law?"

Grandma Lin's eyes widened. "What do you mean by sweet talk? I didn't learn that from that boy."

"Then you must have a talent for this, speaking eloquently."

Lin Zhiheng also changed into new clothes and said to Lin Qingyan, "Sister, I haven't bought yours yet."

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "I bought mine a long time ago. It was your brother-in-law who bought it for me."

She went to the candy counter and bought two pounds of fruit candy, some roasted peanuts and melon seeds, two packs of sponge cake, and two boxes of biscuits.

On her wedding day, she was to have her hair styled, so she bought herself a bright red hair accessory and hair clip, a pair of red cloth shoes, and two pairs of red socks.

After buying their things and wandering around for a while, they returned to the brigade.

The day before the wedding banquet, Lu Zhengting and his father went to the county town to buy groceries.

Lin Qingyan went to work as usual this morning, so she doesn't need to go to the clinic this afternoon and can rest at home. However, if someone asks her for a medical consultation, she will still see them.

Weddings at this time were simple, and the clothes worn were much more modest compared to modern wedding dresses and gowns.

She hadn't worn the military uniform she and Lu Zhengting had bought in the county town yet. Lu Zhengting was a soldier, and the uniform suited him perfectly that day. As his girlfriend, it would also be very appropriate for her to wear the same uniform as him.

As many of you probably know, she's getting married tomorrow and doesn't have time to come to the clinic, so there were quite a few patients this morning.

She treated the patients one by one, and Grandma Lin was no longer around her for a while, but she didn't notice.

After she finished seeing all the patients, she stretched.

Not seeing Grandma Lin inside, he called out, "Grandma."

Grandma Lin sometimes played in the mud outside. She didn't hear Grandma Lin's reply, so she went out to look, but there was no sign of Grandma Lin outside.

She tried to recall exactly when Granny Lin had left. If she had been gone for too long and hadn't returned, she would have to go look for Granny Lin herself.

After a while, no more patients came in, and it was almost time to leave work, so she locked the clinic door and went outside to look for Grandma Lin.

She hadn't walked far from the clinic when she ran into Mr. Lu and Lu Zhengting, who had just returned from buying groceries in the county town.

Lu Zhengting jumped off the oxcart: "Wife, where are you going?"

Lin Qingyan asked Lu Zhengting to help her look for it.

“Zhengting, Grandma has run off somewhere again and hasn’t returned to the clinic. I’m going out to look for her.”

"Let me help you look for her; it'll be faster that way."

Grandma Lin was originally staying at the clinic, but the maid seemed a bit busy today. Bored, she went to the door to play in the mud for a while. After returning, the maid was still busy, so she went out for a stroll by herself.

She strolled along the road, and when she saw some wildflowers by the roadside, she picked a few, put two on her head, and kept the rest to take back for her maid to wear.

Suddenly it occurred to her that the girl was going to be a bride tomorrow, and she wanted to pick more flowers to give her to wear tomorrow.

Just as she was squatting by the roadside picking flowers, a military green jeep stopped beside her.

The car door opened, and a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old, Xu Xinning, got out, along with a male driver.

Xu Xinning concealed a syringe in her sleeve and slowly approached Granny Lin.
