"Children, get up quickly." Lu Lishu hurriedly pulled the two children up.
Looking at Xing Jianguo and Su Xiaole, he was genuinely happy.
"Your eyes and eyebrows look just like your mother's!" He had almost forgotten what his wife looked like, but thankfully he had kept a photo. He took the photo out of his pocket and looked at it.
She cried for a moment, then laughed, saying, "Your mother's smile is so gentle."
He handed the photo to Xing Jianguo and saw his mother with a sweet smile and his father wearing wedding attire, looking very happy.
"Today can be considered a perfect ending. It must be your mother in heaven protecting us so we can meet again." Lu Lishu knew that he might not be able to accept it for a while, but for Lu Lishu, it was enough that his child was still alive.
Seeing that Su Xiaole had married such a beautiful and virtuous wife, he was happy for his son.
Zheng Yuanchao looked at Lan Yuchu with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lan Yuchu, you're quite something. I couldn't find anything, but you did!"
I must say, the younger generation is truly formidable!
Everyone left, letting the family have a proper talk.
Su Xiaole also took leave to go back and cook some nutritious food for her father-in-law and bring it over, so that Xing Jianguo could have time to spend with his father.
On the way back, Su Xiaole saw Lin Qiyue's hand and said with concern, "Sister-in-law Qiyue, is your hand feeling any better? I heard about it today and was thinking of going to see you after get off work tonight."
Seeing Su Xiaole's worried expression, Lin Qiyue quickly said, "Don't worry, with your Brother Lan with me, nothing will happen. You... you should hurry back and make some food for Uncle Lu to bring over."
Lu Lishu fainted before even going upstairs after buying groceries. He was often malnourished and had been working late into the night recently, which caused him to collapse.
Reminded of this, Su Xiaole said anxiously, "Then, sister-in-law, I'll go back now."
"Go quickly."
Su Xiaole waved her hand and then quickly ran back.
Seeing that carefree figure, Lin Qiyue sighed, "If Xing Jianguo and I hadn't gone through all these hardships, maybe we would have had the chance to grow up together, and maybe I would have known you since we were very young?"
Lan Yuchu didn't like hearing this and said, "Everyone's encounter is just right, and we grew up together since we were little."
Lin Qiyue frowned slightly and gave a low "hmm," "It said we grew up together, but nothing else."
“If you two had grown up together, there wouldn’t have been anything between me and Xiao Le.”
Luckily, we didn't grow up together. What if we had arranged some kind of childhood betrothal? That would have been terrible.
"Okay, okay! You're right." Lin Qiyue didn't want to continue this topic.
Lan Yuchu was in a good mood today and suggested, "The sun is shining brightly today. I'll take you into town for a bit. You were planning to visit Comrade Wei, weren't you? When we get to town, you can buy some gifts and visit her."
I should pay her a visit, after all, she is Liu Yuanzhu's cousin.
"Okay, did you bring any money?" Lin Qiyue asked again.
Lan Yuchu reached into her pocket, took out a few coins, and said, "I still have twenty yuan. That should be enough."
"Let's go then."
It only takes five minutes to walk from the military hospital to the bus stop, and after waiting for a while, you can catch the bus.
It was probably a weekday, so there weren't many people around.
They were seated right away. Lin Qiyue and Lan Yuchu sat in the last seats, looking at the familiar countryside.
After the autumn harvest, winter arrives, and the fields lose their usual scenery.
The weather is getting colder and colder. It's already November, and it's really cold.
After blowing away the wind, Lan Yuchu closed the window as well, saying worriedly, "It's too cold, it's better not to be exposed to the wind."
Lin Qiyue did not speak.
Then I got a little tired, perhaps because it was winter, and the people on the bus were unusually quiet.
She fell asleep nestled in Lan Yuchu's arms.
"July, we've arrived at our stop. I feel like I'm getting off the train." A loud snoring woke Lin Qiyue up.
After getting off the bus, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Lin Qiyue shivered even more from the cold.
Lan Yuchu saw the department store across the street and pulled Lin Qiyue aside, saying, "Let's go inside the mall for a while; maybe it'll be warmer."
Upon arriving at the mall, Lan Yuchu couldn't wait to buy Lin Qiyue a hat and a scarf and put them on her.
They bought some gifts and went to visit Wei Yuelan. When they arrived at Wei's house, they rang the doorbell but no one answered.
Lin Qiyue looked at Lan Yuchu and said, "He probably went out."
I thought he wasn't home, but then the door opened.
Wei Yuelan was also wearing a hat, and her face was a little swollen. She felt that Lan Yuchu was somewhat familiar, and then she saw Lin Qiyue.
"July, you're here?" She happily reached out to take Lin Qiyue's hand, but Lin Qiyue instinctively dodged away.
Wei Yuelan was taken aback, then looked down and saw the gauze on Lin Qiyue's hand, and asked in surprise, "Qiyue, what's this?"
Lin Qiyue chuckled and said, "Well, that's a long story."
"Let's go inside and talk, it's windy outside," Wei Yuelan invited them inside.
I went into the living room and poured them a cup of hot tea.
"July, you've been saying you can't go out these days, what happened?" Wei Yuelan rushed to finish decorating the cold dish shop, but Lin Qiyue still couldn't go out, and the two of them could only communicate by phone. "You don't know, the cold dish shop opened yesterday, and I told you I was so busy that I didn't come back to rest until I finished buying everything this morning."
Wei Yuelan was worried and said, "I'm checking here. The pastry recipe you gave me last time, I made it according to the recipe, and in just one day, many girls came to buy it. We can't keep up with the staff. Didn't you say last time that someone in the family compound needed a job? Could you help me arrange one?"
She needs some manpower right now.
Lan Yuchu had heard Lin Qiyue mention that she planned to open a shop and start a business.
"Lan Yuchu, you're really something, marrying such a beautiful young wife. You've been here for so long and you didn't even come to see me!" Wei Yuelan had known him since childhood, and was even a month older than him.
Lan Yuchu touched her nose guiltily and said, "I just haven't had time."
If the two of them hadn't known each other, Lan Yuchu wouldn't have wanted to come.
There's no other way now, so he can only come and meet her, since Wei Yuelan will be seeing his wife more and more often in the future.
Wei Yuelan didn't want to argue with him too much; she just wanted to have a good talk with Lin Qiyue about business matters.
Lin Qiyue said, "When I get back tonight, I'll talk to the women in the family compound and ask them to come over for interviews. Do you have any interviewees ready?"
“Yes, it’s Xiao Luo from the finance department.” Wei Yuelan thought for a moment and said, “I usually handle the hiring for the business, but if there are too many people, I’ll ask Xiao Liu from the finance department to help.”
Lin Qiyue nodded and said, "That's good. How's business at the cold dish shop?"
"That's wonderful!" Wei Yuelan exclaimed excitedly. "You have no idea how long the lines were! We were just trying out the business and letting people come and sample the food, and the seaweed was the most popular item."
