Lin Zhao moved his upper body backwards, having a bad feeling. "Just tell me what you want to say. Don't be like this. I feel uneasy."

Li Fen grabbed her hand, her eyes burning, "I want to ask you a favor."

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhao hated that he didn't have any yarn, otherwise he could have diverted his attention. He said bluntly, "I will definitely help if I can, but there is nothing I can do if I can't help."

"It's not something that will make things difficult for you." Li Fen said quickly.

"I just want you to help me keep an eye out for suitable girls in the countryside."

"?"

Let her be a matchmaker? !

With this thought in mind, Lin Zhao placed her bright and beautiful face in front of Li Fen, "Sister, look at me, do I look like a matchmaker?"

Li Fen was dazzled by her face as bright as the moon.

I don't have much knowledge, but I have the urge to write a few lines of poetry.

It's simply poisonous.

"Oh." Li Fen patted her shoulder. "I didn't ask you to be a matchmaker. I just asked you to keep an eye out. If there is a good girl who is hardworking, capable, has a good temper, and has no burden at home, please remind me and I will ask around."

"Your family is from a large team, so you should know the temperament of different girls. I'm at ease leaving it to you."

That's it.

Not a problem.

Lin Zhao asked, "Don't you mind that I don't have a city hukou?"

"What do you complain about?" Li Fen didn't care about this, and said sincerely: "As long as the person is hardworking, doesn't mind my brother's injured leg, and is willing to live a stable life with him, it's all fine. I don't want anything else, just that the person is nice."

"Zhao Zhao, I'll tell you the truth. My family is not badly off. My brother earns a lot of money and is a good person. You won't be wronged if you marry into my family."

Lin Zhao believed this.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask my mother."

Li Fen asked mischievously, "Which mother?"

Lin Zhao smiled helplessly, "Is it okay to ask both mothers?"

"I'm not a newly married girl, there's no point in you teasing me."

I still want to see her blush, but that's impossible.

"Yes, yes, you are not a newly married girl. Your eldest son and second son are over five years old, but you can't tell." Li Fen muttered.

When she first found out about it, she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.

Looking at her face, how can she look like a married person, or someone who has children? !

Before Lin Zhao could respond, Song Yunjin quickly walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

After entering, go straight to the counter.

"Sister, sister, this is your photography skill!" The boy gave a thumbs up.

He handed the newly retrieved photo to Lin Zhao.

The photo was wrapped in a small paper, black and white, and the size of a palm.

Lin Zhao opened the half-circle opening and poured out a few photos.

She took the photo on the night she won the camera.

——Picture of a baby sleeping.

The twins sleep in each other's arms, they are very affectionate little siblings.

The second child put his right leg domineeringly on his brother and hugged his brother with his hands and feet, while his brother lay straight with a frown, looking serious and cute.

She captured the unique characteristics of each cub.

So cute it makes your nose bleed.

"It seems that I have a talent for taking photos," Lin Zhao boasted.

Song Yunjin agreed very much and nodded, "Sister, you learn everything quickly. My dad said it was a pity that you didn't go to college. It makes me sad every time I think about it."

Lin Zhao's hand paused as she touched the photo, then quickly returned to normal.

"Why feel bad? How can you even think about going to college when you can't even get enough food to eat?" She was very open-minded. Back then, you couldn't buy food even if you had money. It was like that in the countryside, and you had to pick wild vegetables. It was even harder in the city. Everything was meaningless when you went to college. Filling your stomach first was more important than anything else.

It was only a few years after the famine, and everyone still remembered the terrible experience vividly.

"That's right." Song Yunjin said.

Thinking of something, his eyes lit up and his tone was full of excitement, "Maybe my sister and I can go to college together in the future."

Lin Zhao looked at him and smiled: "You want to carry my schoolbag?"

Song Yunjin patted his chest and said, "Okay, I'll take care of fetching water and buying food."

"If that day really comes, I will go to the capital. You have to try hard." Lin Zhao said casually.

"Ha..." Song Yunjin laughed out loud, but his sister gave him a cold look and he tried to hold back his laughter. He said, "Sister, you've graduated for several years, you must have forgotten the textbook knowledge a long time ago. I won't be in high school until next year, and I remember the knowledge better than you. Are you sure it's me who's working hard, not you?"

"Of course it's your hard work." Lin Zhao said in a matter-of-fact tone.

There are always some people who are good at studying, and she happens to be one of them.

Song Yunjin didn't argue much, "Okay, I'll try my best."

"Sister, are you going home this weekend?" He confirmed again that he meant go back, not go.

Lin Zhao's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, "Yes, bring four children back."

Song Yunjin couldn't stop smiling.

"Sister, you are busy. I will go home and get beaten."

After he finished speaking, he took a step with his long legs and left quickly.

Lin Zhao: “?”

Guess what, blessings filled my eyes.

I wish you good luck, Xiao Song.

Li Fen and Wang Ju heard about the photos from afar, but when they saw Song Yunjin was there, they didn't dare to come over.

As soon as he left, he walked forward tacitly.

Lin Zhao tilted her head slightly and met two pairs of eyes that could hardly conceal their curiosity.

“…What’s going on?”

Before Li Fen could say anything, Wang Ju extended her index finger and tapped the small paper bag in her hand.

Her eyes sparkled and a shy smile appeared on her face.

The meaning is obvious.

Want to see.

"If you want to see it, just tell me. It's nothing." Lin Zhao smiled, took out the photos and showed them to a colleague with whom she had a good relationship.

Wang Ju carefully picked up one of them, which was of twins, a boy and a girl.

The little brother and sister were at the age when they were just about to have children. They lay in a small ball on the mat with a few mat marks on their cheeks. They looked soft and seemed like they would cry loudly if you hugged them a little harder.

Their eyelashes are very long and curly.

Her face is chubby and looks very kissable.

"Their eyelashes are so long." Wang Ju whispered.

Li Fen didn't notice it, she took another look and said with a smile, "It's true. Zhao Zhao, the four babies you gave birth to are all good-looking and well-behaved. You are so lucky."

"He's indeed a good boy." Lin Zhao agreed generously.

Li Fen was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Can't you be more modest?"

"I'm just telling the truth. My children are all well behaved." Lin Zhao looked proud and spoke in a sincere tone.

Li Fen shook her head in her heart. Children over five years old and two years old are hated by everyone, so how can they be obedient?

"Your four babies' heads look so good when they sleep. How do they sleep?" She was very envious.

Her son's head collapsed during sleep, and that's the end of his life, but she still has grandchildren, so she should learn from them in advance!

Lin Zhao shook her head. "I don't know. This is my grandmother's hairstyle. I need to ask my grandmother."

When the baby was just born, even its bones were soft and she didn't even dare to hold it. If someone asked her how to raise a child, she really wouldn't be able to answer.

Li Fen immediately gave him an envious and complicated look.

"Your life is..."

Lin Zhao lowered her eyes and put the photo back into the small paper bag.

The two returned to their respective counters. Li Fen did not forget to say to Wang Ju: "When you get married in the future, you must find a family like this, so that you can live a comfortable life."

Wang Ju's face turned red, she was too embarrassed to look up, she quickened her pace, trying to find something to do to ease the embarrassment.

"..." Li Fen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It's strange. After all, she is the factory director's daughter, so how can she be so brave?

Yes, Wang Ju is the biggest customer of the supply and marketing cooperative, and her biological father is a factory director. I heard that he sent her here to train his daughter’s courage.

There weren't many customers at the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon, only one or two occasionally.

When no one was around, Li Fen sat at the counter making shoes for her brother, Wang Ju dozed off with her arm as a pillow, and Liu Chunhong was talking to someone else in whispers.

Lin Zhao rested her head on the corner of the counter, with a small notebook on her knees, writing something with her head slightly lowered.

Anyone who entered the supply and marketing cooperative could see her thick black hair and white neck at a glance.

A military green figure appeared for a moment, looked somewhere intently, and turned away in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!!" Li Fen exclaimed when she saw the young man who appeared briefly and disappeared.

Lin Zhao raised her head and followed her gaze towards the door, but saw nothing.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"What a handsome young man!" Li Fen thought about the man she had just seen, her eyes sparkling, and gestured with her hands, "He was wearing a military uniform, and he was very tall, half a head taller than your two cousins, and he had a handsome face too. I have never seen anyone more handsome than that young man in my life."

However, that look is somewhat familiar.

Where have you seen this before?

It shouldn't be.

He looks like that, who can forget him after just one look! ?

In Lin Zhao's heart, her son's father is the most handsome and she will not accept any rebuttal. Other handsome guys are nothing to her.

"No one is as handsome as Comrade Gu."

Li Fen felt choked up.

The clock on the wall pointed to 14:55.

"Sister Fen, please watch the counter for me. I'm going to be out for a while." Lin Zhao said.

Li Fen waved her hand.

With only five minutes left before the end of the working day, the sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative began to pack up their things.

Not long after, Lin Zhao came back shaking her wet hands.

There were a few ding-dang-dang sounds.

It's time to get off work.

She left with her backpack.

The supply and marketing cooperative closed early, so there weren't many people wandering around the street at this time. The sun was at its hottest, and the ground was almost smoking.

Lin Zhao stepped out of the blue brick steps, put her hands on her forehead to block the glaring light, and when she looked up, she caught a glimpse of a tall and familiar figure not far away.

She froze and blinked in disbelief.

The figure is still there.

He was wearing a neat military uniform, standing tall and straight like a pine tree, with his military cap half covering his sharp brows, making him look handsome and heroic.

As if he had noticed something, he raised his eyes, his eyes were as clear as pools, and when he saw that pretty face, a smile appeared in his black eyes.

The young officer walked slowly forward.

Every step seemed to be measured with a ruler, and the pace was steady and firm.

Watching the familiar figure getting closer, Lin Zhao trotted over.

In a flash, it stopped two meters away from the man.

"Gu Chenghuai?" she called uncertainly.

The smile in Gu Chenghuai's eyes deepened, and that smile was gentle and intoxicating, "It's me."

Lin Zhao suddenly smiled, her happiness was visibly evident, her eyes sparkling as if they contained countless stars.

"Gu Chenghuai!" she shouted happily.

The moment she finished speaking, she rushed forward and hugged the man, throwing her petite body into his chest, with a bright and dazzling smile.

In the corner, Li Fen murmured, "... Zhao Zhao is right, her man is indeed handsome."

The food is really good.

What a good life! !

Wang Ju nodded quickly, her eyes brighter than usual, and she tried hard to reduce her presence, but she couldn't avert her gaze.

What a perfect match.

Gu Chenghuai noticed two gazes, and the deep and cold eyes looked at him, as sharp as a knife.

Li Fen felt her body stiffen, and she pulled Wang Ju, who was slow to react, and ran quickly.

"Sister Fen, why are you running?" Wang Ju's voice sounded reluctantly.

"..." How could such a little girl be so insensitive?

there.

"Gu Chenghuai, is it really you who's back?!" Lin Zhao still felt dazed.

"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Gu Chenghuai looked at her, his dark eyes reflecting his wife's figure, and he said in a low voice: "I wanted to tell you, but you hung up the phone so quickly that I didn't have time."

Lin Zhao looked up at the young man. He was a head shorter than him, but his aura was much greater than his.

"What do you mean? We just met and you're blaming me." She reproached in a clear voice.

She poked Gu Chenghuai's chest gently with her slender and beautiful fingers and snorted, "Gu Chenghuai, what did you say when you asked me to marry you?"

"You said you would treat me well for the rest of your life, that you would keep me in your heart and never make me angry. What are you doing now? You've only been married for a few years and you've forgotten that, right..."

Gu Chenghuai listened to the reproaches without getting angry, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's my fault." Shen Jinleng's voice was wrapped in tenderness.

"I don't blame you. I didn't tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise." He said patiently.

Lin Zhao was instantly coaxed and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Dad, pinch me, I feel like I'm dreaming."

Gu Chenghuai smiled and held out his hand, saying slowly, "Bite me."

His hands were long and thin with distinct joints, so beautiful that Lin Zhao developed a hand obsession.

She pulled the young man's hand down, interlocked their fingers, looked down, her eyes curved into crescents.

The tone of his voice was not very good.

"Why would I bite you? I'm not Lu Baozhen."

Gu Chenghuai held Lin Zhao's hand and led her forward, "Who is Lu Baozhen?"

"Lu Yizhou's own daughter, have you forgotten?" Lin Zhao turned her head to look at him.

"Well, I don't have much impression. What happened to her?" Gu Chenghuai never remembers unimportant people. In his world, Zhao Zhao is the most important, followed by his four children.

"She bit Erzai and left a bowl-sized tooth mark on his hand," Lin Zhao said angrily.

Gu Chenghuai almost laughed out loud.

Tooth marks as big as a bowl.

If he remembered correctly, the little girl from the Lu family was not even as big as the twins. Her mouth had to be very big to be able to bite out a dumpling as big as a bowl.

So cute.

The young officer, who was attracted by his wife's cuteness and fell in love, responded seriously, "It's really too much!"

"Is that so?" Lin Zhao said repeatedly, worry showing in her eyes, "I'm really worried that the scar on Erzai's hand won't go away."

Gu Chenghuai calmly comforted him, "The second child is a boy, does he have a scar..."

He hadn't even uttered the word "matter" yet as he was held in place by Lin Zhao's frowning expression.

"You don't understand," she sighed.

The scar is not the point; the point is the scar caused by Lu Baozhen's bite. Lin Zhao was afraid that the scar would make Erzai fall in love.

well.

Gu Chenghuai didn't say anything else, he really didn't understand.

Remembering that Zhao Zhao had suffered a head injury, he stopped, held her face and looked at her carefully.

"How is your head? Where is it injured?" He looked focused, his black eyes full of warmth.

Lin Zhao pointed at his forehead, looking aggrieved. "Here, here, I got hit with a bowl-sized bump and fainted. You know what's even worse? After your sister knocked me out, she ran away! She just ran away!"

"If it weren't for the eldest and second cubs, you would be a widower when you came back, and you could have eaten my feast..."
