After seeing Cao Jing off, Lin Chengyu quietly commented, "This man handled things well; he's a decent official who didn't use his power to bully others!"

"Did you praise him like that because you heard he wanted to give us a wedding gift?!"

Song Ziqing is still hesitant about marrying Lin Chengyu. After all, she was single in her previous life and really didn't understand matters of the heart.

However, she still longs for love.

She felt that living alone for a long time was still lonely.

There was someone who had always been with her, and she felt that even if it wasn't love, she would still gladly agree to it.

However, since she possessed a ring with its own spatial storage, she was afraid of letting a wolf into her house.

Therefore, she still intends to continue to test Lin Chengyu.

She wouldn't mind getting married and then getting divorced later.

However, in this day and age, divorce damages one's reputation, so it's best to try to make it a lifelong commitment once you get married.

"Yes, he's a very generous person. Even though he knew we were engaged and were just a couple of educated youth sent to the countryside, he didn't look down on us. Of course, I should praise such a good person!"

Lin Chengyu felt that they should actively interact with Cao Jing more in the future. In this era, even in the chaotic Revolutionary Committee, this person had a kind of temperament that remained untainted by the mud. Such a person was truly rare.

Moreover, he had a feeling that Cao Jing was probably a retired soldier who had changed careers. Such a person had strong principles, and one should be more upright when dealing with him.

However, this person must have been trained, deliberately concealing his military attributes, so that most people wouldn't be able to tell.

When Lin Chengyu's soul was bored in his previous life, he liked to stare at a person or an object and study it. After looking at it for a long time, he naturally developed a very good eye for detail.

After being reborn, Lin Chengyu inherited this kind of eye contact.

He could easily read people's micro-expressions. After observing and studying them extensively, he felt that many police officers might not have his ability to read people's expressions.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Ziqing said, "Let's go back to the hotel now and pick out some Shanghai specialties. We're going to Yu Tingting's house for lunch later, so we can't go empty-handed."

“Okay, let’s take the bus directly in a bit. Didn’t Yu Tingting tell us the bus routes yesterday? The bus ride alone will take more than an hour.”

Lin Chengyu didn't have any special feelings for Tingting. He just felt that the girl was unlucky. She could be watched even when she went to the toilet. If it weren't for Song Ziqing, the girl might have been kidnapped.

Keep in mind that the train was stopping at a small station at the time, and if she wasn't careful, she could have been taken off the train. At that point, she would have been truly helpless.

When the two arrived at the Yu family home, it was already noon.

Yu Tingting's parents are both leaders at Guangzhou Shipbuilding Company. Her father spends most of his time on ships. This time, he only took leave to go home because Yu Tingting's grandfather was sick.

Yu Tingting only returned from Shanghai alone because her grandfather suddenly fell ill.

The Yu family lived in a shipping company's residential compound by the sea. It was a fairly large compound. Looking at these old-fashioned houses, Song Ziqing admired them very much. He looked directly at Yu Tingting and asked, "Tingting, when your residential compound was built, were the Xiguan mansions used as a reference? It looks very special."

"Yes, just like the villas in Shanghai, the most famous houses in Guangzhou are the Xiguan mansions. These mansions are warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for us Guangzhou people."

Although Yu Tingting is young, her parents both work for shipping companies. She traveled to many places on ships when she was young, so her perspective is beyond that of ordinary people.

Beijing has its traditional courtyard houses, Shanghai has its Western-style houses, and Guangzhou has its Xiguan mansions. These cities are all places with rich cultural heritage.

As a native of Guangzhou, Yu Tingting is still very proud. After all, her maternal uncle's family is from Shanghai, and they have a sense of superiority that she doesn't like.

Her maternal uncle's family treated her very well. She went to Shanghai to visit her maternal grandmother on behalf of her mother. The old woman was getting on in years and liked the younger generation to be close to her.

Yu's mother was too busy with work, and her two sons were also busy with work. Only her youngest daughter, Yu Tingting, had not yet started working, so Yu's mother sent her to Shanghai to take care of her elderly parents.

Previously, when Yu Tingting went to Shanghai, it was her eldest brother who took leave to take her there. She stayed in Shanghai for a month, but unexpectedly, her grandfather had a health problem and collapsed on the street, which scared her mother so much that she had to call her daughter to come back.

She originally thought her older brother would send his nephew to bring her daughter back, but her daughter was an impatient person. She received the news directly and bought a train ticket and rushed back by herself without waiting for her cousin to ask for leave.

If she hadn't been smart enough to pay the fare difference to get a sleeper berth after boarding the train, and hadn't met Song Ziqing and the other person, she might have really been kidnapped this time.

If such a young and beautiful girl is abducted, her fate is self-evident, no need for anyone to guess.

Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu can be considered the saviors of their daughter Yu Tingting. Yu's mother went to the market early in the morning to buy meat and various seafood, intending to treat the two guests to her signature dishes.

“Tingting, your house is so beautiful! Living in a house like this would greatly improve your quality of life. We’re going to the countryside soon, and the thought of having to work the land from dawn till dusk makes me a little worried.”

Song Ziqing looked around the large houses in the family compound for a while and felt that each one was very beautiful, not much different from modern villas, and had a special charm.

"If you ever run out of supplies in the countryside, you can write to me and I'll send them to you. I don't think you're short of money, so you can just pay me directly."

Yu Tingting actually already knew about Song Ziqing's situation on the train, and knew that there was no other way for her to go to the countryside.

Yu Tingting was pleased that Song Ziqing was completely open with her, and felt that as a friend, she should help her out. However, there was only so much she could do; she could only run errands for her.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. If I ever need food or drink, I'll write to you! But I shouldn't be short of food or drink for the next few months. I bought a lot in Shanghai and sent it directly to the countryside."

Song Ziqing found that he was quite lucky. He made friends with a local girl in Guangzhou while taking a train, and this friend was very helpful and eager to run errands for him!

Yu Tingting really likes Song Ziqing's personality; he's very cheerful and generous, and getting along with him doesn't require her to think too much.
