"It's not good for young people to be in a relationship if they live in different places."
These leaders were all men, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Yu coming to Beicheng for her boyfriend; in fact, they thought it was perfectly normal.
Even decades later, this idea remains common, let alone in this era.
Lin Yu wasn't angry. He simply said, "We are revolutionary partners and should fight together for the country. He is in his field, and I am in mine. Although we are not physically together, our hearts are together."
These words were spoken with great confidence, and none of the leaders present could refute them.
All I can do is praise her: "Young people have awareness."
Lin Yu accepted the praise with pride; she was just that perceptive.
Gu Yunze is very important to her; after all, it's not easy to find such a confidant in life.
But her career was more important, and it wasn't just her own career; it involved everyone in the commune.
If she were to withdraw, it would be an irresponsible act.
Now is not the time for her to leave.
Of course, she didn't need to explain these things to more people.
After exchanging some work experiences with the leaders, it was time to leave.
They were having dinner at a restaurant when they saw a car waiting at the door.
Li Yonglin joked, "Comrade Gu is such a considerate person, he even came all the way here to pick you up."
Lin Yu said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry you had to see this. Well then, I'll be going now."
Li Yonglin nodded. He had his own car and had originally planned to give Lin Yu a ride, but now it seemed he didn't need to.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Lin Yu walked over and got into the car. "Why did you come?"
Gu Yunze looked at her and said, "I've come to pick you up."
Although Lin Yu said before she left that she didn't need to be picked up because she was having dinner with her superiors, Gu Yunze still wanted to pick her up.
Now that your partner is finally in your city, shouldn't you make the most of your time to see them more often?
Gu Yunze cherished the days he spent with her.
Remembering Li Yonglin's words, Lin Yu asked him, "The leader said he could arrange a job for me in Beicheng. What do you think?"
Gu Yunze said calmly, "I bet you didn't agree."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "How did you guess? And aren't you angry? I clearly had a chance to come and be with you."
Gu Yunze thought for a moment and said, "I'm not angry, but I am a little disappointed."
Lin Yuxin jumped, frowned, and was about to speak when she heard him say again:
"But I can understand, I know what the food factory means to you."
He witnessed firsthand how the food factory was built from a small mud house, and he understood its significance to the Lianhua Brigade.
As the person who single-handedly developed the factory, Lin Yu poured so much effort into it.
It's impossible for her to give up halfway now.
"If I were you, I wouldn't agree to come to Beicheng either."
If you try to understand things from her perspective, you'll be able to comprehend it.
So despite his disappointment, Gu Yunze didn't blame her.
Lin Yu now has her own career and is living a smooth life, and he doesn't want to ruin her life plans.
He would feel very guilty if Lin Yu compromised for his sake.
Moreover, he is a soldier with his own mission, and if he gets married, he is destined to neglect his family.
To put it another way: "If one day I have to go to the battlefield, you won't stop me, will you?"
Lin Yu didn't dare to think about that possibility, but still nodded: "I won't, I will support you."
That was his duty, his mission.
When it comes to going to the battlefield, it's a matter of life and death, and the atmosphere inside the car suddenly became somewhat heavy.
Gu Yunze changed the subject: "I'll take you back to the guesthouse. I have a vacation. I'll pick you up and take you out for fun tomorrow."
The meeting has ended, and Lin Yu's letter of introduction still has a few days remaining, allowing her to move freely in Beicheng.
She nodded: "Will you come with me to see Grandpa?"
Gu Yunze agreed: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
........
"Let me see... it seems... this is the alley."
The next day, Lin Yu and Gu Yunze carried the gifts and walked into Hutong No. 8.
"This should be the place."
Just as Lin Yu was about to knock on the door, it creaked open.
A middle-aged woman came out: "Who are you?"
Just as Lin Yu was about to introduce herself, the woman said loudly, "You, you're from Grandpa Shen's family, right? You look just like his daughter."
The people in this compound still have vivid memories of Shen Zhinian and his wife.
After all, those two people didn't seem to fit their compound at all. Shen Zhinian was good-looking and had a good temper.
During the time she lived here, all the neighbors knew her.
Upon hearing the woman's voice, everyone ran out and exclaimed upon seeing Lin Yu, "She looks just like him, so much like him!"
Lin Yu and Shen Zhinian do look very similar, but one has a gentle temperament while the other looks more lively and clever.
"Hello, I am Shen Zhinian's daughter, and Shen He is my maternal grandfather."
When Lin Yu first met the woman, she was a warm person who pulled her in and said, "Come in, come in, I'll take you to find your grandfather."
Lin Yu and Gu Yunze then followed her.
When she arrived at a house, she knocked on the door: "Uncle Shen, come out quickly, your granddaughter is here."
There were sounds coming from inside the house; the footsteps sounded somewhat disordered.
As soon as the door opened, an old man poked his head out.
Looking at the girl in front of him who looked almost exactly like his daughter, Shen He immediately recalled what his daughter looked like when she was a teenager.
Stubborn and strong, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely that she would never acknowledge him as her father again.
But the girl in front of me looked so energetic, with a big smile on her face, she looked like a happy child.
She smiled and said, "Grandpa, I am Lin Yu."
Shen He's eyes welled up with tears, and he reached out to pull the girl's hand: "Hey, Xiaoyu's here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Lin Yu followed his lead and walked inside.
The woman who brought them there said, "Then I'll be going."
Gu Yunze thanked her, saying, "Thank you, this is a gift for you."
He casually took a small bag of candy from his belongings and handed it to the woman.
The woman had never seen such generosity before: "Oh, no need, no need, it's not worth taking so much of your candy."
But Gu Yunze insisted on putting it in her hand.
Shen He said, "Just take it. You've helped me a lot before."
An elderly person spoke up, and the woman accepted the gift.
He turned around and grinned as if he'd struck it rich. So many candies! One for each of the kids in the family, hehe.
Over there, Shen He noticed Gu Yunze only after talking to the woman: "Who's this?"
Lin Yu told him, "He's my boyfriend, his name is Gu Yunze, and he also lives in Beicheng."
Today was his day off, and Gu Yunze was dressed casually in a shirt, sweater vest, and black trousers. He looked quite handsome.
Shen He asked, "Where in the northern part of the city do you live?"
