Zhou Huanan arrived; he came directly to the family compound.
Song Meili only had time to glance at him before entering Lin Yu's new house.
On such a joyous day, Song Meili's rosy cheeks looked beautiful when she smiled.
Lin Yu even asked her, "Do you want me to pass on this good fortune to you so you can get married soon?"
Song Meili smiled shyly and shook her head, saying, "No need, let nature take its course."
She and Zhou Huanan have reached a consensus that now is not the time to consider marriage.
Lin Yu didn't necessarily want her to get married; she just wanted her to be happy. Hearing her say that, she didn't mention Zhou Huanan again.
Soon it was time for the banquet to begin, and the group was called out again.
......
During the bride and groom's toasting ceremony, Lin Yu finally met her maternal grandfather.
He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and sat next to Shen Zhinian.
Lin Shengli took good care of him, serving him food and water.
Lin Yu looked at her family and friends with a genuine smile on her face.
However, one person is still missing...
Seeing her expression, Gu Yunze seemed to guess what she was thinking and whispered in her ear, "Qiao Feng is fine. I received news that he will be in the next batch to be evacuated from the front line."
Lin Yu turned to look at him in surprise, only to see him nodding earnestly.
She smiled, relieved that her brother was alright. As for his absence from the wedding, she was only slightly disappointed.
As long as he is safe, that's all that matters.
By the time all the guests had left, it was already four or five in the afternoon.
The military doesn't have many formalities, so Lin Yu quickly took a shower and changed into her own clothes.
She stepped out of the room, having already received a red envelope from Gu's parents that morning, and now addressed them as "Mom and Dad."
"Mom, where did Dad go?"
Li Huizhu said helplessly, "I drank too much at noon and I'm still sleeping."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. Is there anything I can help you with now?"
Li Huizhu had already cleaned up the leftover dishes from the lunch banquet and hung them intact in the well.
He said, "No need. Let Yunze accompany you for a walk, and he can come back for dinner later."
Gu Yunze happened to overhear this and asked, "Want to go for a walk?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment. She had just arrived and needed to get to know her neighbors, so she said, "Let's go deliver wedding candy to them."
She looked at Li Huizhu and asked if this was feasible.
Li Huizhu was pleased with her daughter-in-law's good manners and said with a smile, "Then you should take the wedding candy with you. Yunze, take good care of Xiaoyu."
Gu Yunze responded and went into the house first, bringing out a basket filled with wedding candies and asking, "Is this it?"
That was what Li Huizhu had prepared for them. She nodded and said, "Here it is. Take it."
Gu Yunze came out with a basket, took Lin Yu's hand and said, "Let's go."
Lin Yu followed him outside.
Gu Yunze was still wearing the military uniform he wore that morning when he picked up the bride, looking impeccable.
Lin Yu was wearing an apricot-colored dress with leather boots, her hair was loose and then simply tied into a side fishtail braid.
The two walked together, and their height and temperament were very well matched.
Many neighbors in the residential compound came out to look at them as a sight to behold.
Lin Yu wasn't embarrassed at all, and even asked Gu Yunze to introduce everyone to her one by one.
Gu Yunze would say one, and she would call people over and give them wedding candy.
She said, "Now that all the aunties and grandmas are out, we don't need to visit each of you one by one. You're all so thoughtful."
The aunties and grandmas who just wanted to come out and watch the fun: .........
Seeing that she spoke pleasantly and had a joyful smile on her face, the neighbors happily accepted the wedding candy and said a few kind words.
No one dislikes someone who greets them with a smile, especially since today is their big day.
Therefore, after receiving the wedding candy, everyone had a good impression of Lin Yu.
Several neighbors even pulled Lin Yu aside to chat. Lin Yu was a heartthrob among middle-aged and elderly women in the brigade, and she naturally became one of the neighbors in the compound.
In the end, Gu Yunze went from being the main character to being a supporting character to Lin Yu.
When the women heard a child crying that he was hungry, they realized that they had been chatting with Lin Yu until evening.
He quickly said, "We're going back to cook. Let's talk again next time, Xiaoyu."
Lin Yu smiled and said goodbye: "Let's talk again next time."
Only then did she remember that Gu Yunze was beside her. She nudged the man with her elbow and said, "Aren't you bored?"
He actually stood beside her without saying a word, watching her chat with someone for so long.
That takes real perseverance.
Gu Yunze pulled her hand down, interlocked their fingers, and walked towards home: "It's not boring. I was worried that you wouldn't fit in with the family compound."
Needless to say, Lin Yu has integrated into the community even better than he, a native.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry now, right? Don't worry, I won't be bullied anywhere."
Sometimes Gu Yunze wished she would give him a chance to take care of her and protect her.
Unfortunately, no. Lin Yu is as resilient as a weed; she can adapt quickly to any environment she goes to.
Gu Yunze recalled that he was initially moved by her optimism and resilience, which led him to develop feelings for her.
Over the years, from Haicheng to Lianhua Brigade and then to Beicheng, Lin Yu's personality has remained unchanged.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunze smiled gently. Seven years had passed since their first meeting, and he had finally married Lin Yu.
When the two returned home, Li Huizhu was serving the meal.
When they came in, they asked, "Why did it take you so long? I was thinking of going out to look for you."
Seeing that she was busy, Lin Yu quickly went over to lend a hand, saying, "We ran into our neighbors when we went out, and we chatted with them for a while outside."
Li Huizhu looked at her son in surprise, then shifted her gaze to her daughter-in-law.
She immediately understood: "You're the one talking to someone, Yunze wouldn't."
Gu Yunze was not a talkative person; when he met his neighbors, he would at most nod and say hello.
Lin Yu was different. Although they had only spent a short time together, Li Huizhu could tell that she was a girl who understood human relationships.
Lin Yu smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "Mom, you're so insightful. Gu Yunze didn't say a word except to introduce who was who."
Li Huizhu smiled and shook her head: "That's just how my son is. You've had a hard time."
“It’s not hard work at all. Gu Yunze is just quiet and reserved,” Lin Yu replied.
She's outgoing herself, but when it comes to finding a partner, she doesn't like sweet talk.
Lin Yu prefers someone like Gu Yunze who silently protects her, doesn't talk much, but does very practical things.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu turned to look at Gu Yunze, her eyes full of smiles.
Gu Yunze was serving the dishes, having already taken off his military jacket, revealing a white long-sleeved shirt underneath.
To get to work, he rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing strong muscles on his arms. Several veins bulged as he moved, and Lin Yu suddenly felt a bit thirsty.
