She came into the courtyard and saw Dong Yue and Lin Zhiheng. She didn't recognize Dong Yue, so she said to Lin Zhiheng, "Xiao Heng is back."
"Yes, sister-in-law."
She then looked at Dong Yue, "And who is this?"
"This is our company commander. He's come to my home as a guest."
Dong Yue nodded to Sister Zhang, and Sister Zhang smiled back at him.
Lin Qingyan brought the fruit plate to Sister Zhang: "Sister Zhang, have some fruit first."
Aunt Zhang found the fruit on the plate very tempting. She preferred grapes to peaches, so she picked a small bunch, put one in her mouth, and found it both sour and sweet, incredibly delicious.
"Qingyan, when did you buy these grapes? They're so delicious!"
“I rode my bike to the supply and marketing cooperative early this morning to buy it. At that time, your and Sister Qiuyue’s doors were not yet open, so I didn’t call you.”
Aunt Zhang showed her the manuscript in her hand, "Qingyan, what do you think of my revisions this time? Do you need to revise them again?"
Lin Qingyan took the manuscript from her. She had already read it several times before, so she only looked carefully at the parts that Zhang's sister-in-law had revised. "Sister-in-law, I think it's very good. There's nothing that needs to be revised."
"Qingyan, you mean I can submit my work now?" Aunt Zhang was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! All those days of studying and working so hard have finally paid off. I can really submit my work now."
Lin Qingyan nodded, "You can submit articles, but I can't say for sure whether they will be accepted by the newspaper. Sometimes I worry that the newspaper won't accept my articles even when I write them myself."
Sister Zhang said, "Who can get accepted on their first submission? But since you said it's okay, Qingyan, the chances of it being accepted are much higher. It's okay if it's not accepted. This is my first time writing, I'm not afraid."
"That's good. Nothing is absolute. I was just worried that if your sister-in-law didn't get the manuscript approved, it would damage your confidence."
"No, no, I know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I'll just give it a try first. If it doesn't pass the review, I'll just write it again." He glanced at Dong Yue and Lin Zhiheng beside him. Lin Qingyan had to take care of them in the morning, but she should have time in the afternoon. "Qingyan, are you free this afternoon? Come with me to the post office to mail the manuscript."
She looked very excited and full of energy.
"If you're free, let's go together this afternoon."
"good."
Before Zhang's wife left, Lin Qingyan asked her to take a large bunch of grapes and two peaches home for her children.
Later, when Lin Qingyan was cooking, Lin Zhiheng and Dong Yue both helped out.
It wasn't mealtime yet, but they had already served four dishes and a soup.
Xu Xinning went to work as usual today. She had originally planned to visit Lin Sisi yesterday, but she was delayed because she ran into Zhou Qingqing on the way, so she could only go today.
She still chose to go to the family compound to find Lin Sisi during her lunch break.
She quickly arrived at the entrance of the family compound, only to encounter Dong Yue and Lin Zhiheng walking out.
Although she didn't know which residential compound Lin Qingyan lived in, she had a vague guess after seeing Dong Yue.
Did Dong Yue just go to find Lin Qingyan?
"Third Brother."
He called out to Dong Yue first, who was surprised to see her there. "Xiao Ning, who are you looking for in the family compound?"
“I had a patient who became friends with me, and I came to see her. Oh, she’s the wife of a battalion commander here.”
"oh."
"Third Brother, what about you? What are you doing in the family compound?"
Dong Yue looked at Lin Zhiheng and said, "Do you remember when I told you about visiting the home of one of my recruits' older sister? He's that recruit. We went to his sister's house together, which is also the home of Dr. Lin from your hospital."
Xu Xinning's expression darkened slightly.
Dong Yue really did go to find Lin Qingyan; he really enjoys being around her.
However, judging from his open and honest manner when mentioning Lin Qingyan, it doesn't seem like he has developed romantic feelings for her. So why does he like to be around Lin Qingyan?
Just as she was lost in thought, Dong Yue said, "Xiao Ning, if you want to go find someone, then go ahead. Comrade Xiao Lin and I will go back to the dormitory first."
"Okay, you can go now."
After Dong Yue and Lin Zhiheng left, she continued to look for Lin Sisi.
She arrived at Lin Sisi's door and saw that the door was closed. She knocked twice and called out to Lin Sisi from inside, "Sisi."
Lin Sisi was eating sunflower seeds with Fang Huilan inside when she immediately recognized Xu Xinning's voice. She replied, "Coming," and got up to open the door.
Fang Huilan asked, "Who's here?"
"The doctor who treated me is also a good friend of mine here."
Fang Huilan said "oh" and continued eating sunflower seeds.
Lin Sisi opened the door for Xu Xinning, and Xu Xinning's first glance fell on her neck before she quickly looked away.
"Sisi, what are you doing at home? I thought the food you cooked the other day was pretty good, so I shamelessly came over for another meal."
"Really?" Lin Sisi was a little excited. Finally, someone praised her cooking.
"certainly."
Lin Sisi quickly invited her into her home, saying, "Come in, please."
Xu Xinning heard the sound of sunflower seeds being cracked inside the house from the yard. She asked Lin Sisi, "Didn't you say your boyfriend wasn't coming home for lunch? Will my arrival disturb you? Maybe I should leave now and come back another day."
"It wasn't him at home, it was my mom who came to see me."
"Your mother!"
Xu Xinning's eyes lit up instantly, but at the same time, she began to feel uneasy.
How did Dong Lianxin end up here?
