Chapter 94 All Good Things Must Come to an End
Xiaobai was stunned, his fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the invitation.
Only then did she remember that she was nominally a daughter of the Lin family, but in reality she was the child of the Gu and Su families in Beijing.
The sun shone on the side of her face, and her eyelashes cast a fine shadow on her cheek.
"Well, I..." Xiaobai didn't really mind whether her identity was public or not. She had no right to refuse on behalf of her original self, but...
"I think we should consult the Lin brothers and sisters. If they agree to hold it again, if they don't agree..."
What Xiaobai cares about most is the selfless care and love he receives from the Lin brothers and sisters when he first arrives in this strange world.
"Don't worry," Su Po spoke up for his brother-in-law, and he patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder.
"When has Gu Huli ever been negligent in doing things? He immediately asked for the opinions of the Lin brothers and sisters and took care of it with their full support."
Tang Jingmo consoled him, "Why don't you ask your elder brother tonight? If they agree, we can prepare. Everything will be based on your wishes."
Gu Xicheng nodded and agreed, "Yes, Xiaobai, this is a happy event. Since it is a happy event, everyone should be happy."
Xiaobai nodded awkwardly. Sure enough, the gentle and affectionate route didn't suit her!
The commune cafeteria was brightly lit, and more than a dozen large iron pots were steaming at the same time.
It was rare for the island to be so lively. The fishermen brought their treasured old wines, and the women in aprons were walking back and forth between the stoves.
The fragrance of coconut chicken mixed with the mellowness of rice wine flows in the warm air.
Coconuts can be picked everywhere, but chickens——
Although it was contributed by each household, Tang Jingmo had already asked Gu Zhongzhang to register them one by one and compensate them with the corresponding materials according to the weight.
"Try this!" The old village chief put the largest piece of chicken leg into the small white bowl and patted her shoulder with his rough palm.
"Girl, when you go to BJ, don't forget the taste of our Dong'ao Island!"
"How could she forget? She's a foodie." Song Wan interrupted and pulled Xiaobai to dance with everyone.
Xiaobai looked up and saw Tang Jingmo being surrounded by a group of soldiers and forced to drink. Although he was usually handsome, his ears were red at this moment, but he still accepted one glass after another.
Noticing her gaze, Tang Jingmo raised his glass to her across the crowd, with a gentle light in his eyes.
In the corner, Lin Shuhua's cheeks flushed as she whispered to Gu Mingyue, who was holding a bottle of wine: "When I go to the capital, I will also go to see the Weiming Lake you mentioned."
Her eyes were sparkling, as if filled with stars.
Lin Guohua stood aside, touching the admission letter in his arms, but his eyes drifted out the window from time to time - that was the direction of Longshan Village.
It's time to go back! Too many things have happened in the past two years, both good and bad, enough to change the fate of the Lin family.
When Xiaobai came over with the bottle of wine, he saw that Lin Guohua looked worried and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
She could wield a sword in the air, but at this moment she didn't know how to speak.
Instead, Lin Guohua noticed that she was standing aside and took the initiative to say with a smile:
"Xiaobai, come here and have a couple of drinks with big brother. Returning to one's roots is a big deal, and it's a good thing! I'm happy for you!"
Lin Guohua was truly relieved.
Who would have thought that the little sister that her parents had quietly done something great and that the little sister they had taken care of for eighteen years was actually the leader's child.
At first he really couldn't accept it, so he sent a telegram back to Longshan Village to inquire the village party secretary.
The village party secretary copied the letter of certification written by the old village chief before his death and sent it to him.
Lin Guohua finally understood the whole story. He was moved by Su Xiao's sacrifice and Gu Xicheng's forbearance.
"It is our Lin family's honor to raise you. No matter where you go, Longshan Village will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want."
Lin Guohua had prepared himself countless times in his mind, but when he actually said these words, his eyes couldn't help but well up in tears.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I will always be called Lin Xiaobai, Lin Xiaobai from Longshan Village."
She believed that the real Lin Xiaobai had reunited with Professor Su Xiao, and that she would live well for her and protect this world in the future.
It was just daybreak and the ship about to set sail had already docked at the pier.
"Salute!" Following the command of the soldier on duty, all the soldiers raised their right hands in unison.
Gu Xicheng and Su Po walked in front, followed closely by Tang Jingmo and Xiaobai.
Tang Jingmo, dressed in a neat uniform, stood by the gangway waiting for Xiaobai. The sea breeze blew over the brim of his hat, revealing his eyes as deep as the sea.
Xiaobai took a last look around the island where he had lived for a long time.
In the morning mist, she saw the smoke rising from the fishing village and the sparkling sea.
She took a deep breath of the salty air and when she turned around she found the Lin siblings standing behind her.
"Brother, sister..." Before she could finish her words, Lin Shuhua rushed over and hugged her tightly.
This girl who always smiles now burst into tears: "Remember... remember to write to us..."
Lin Guohua's eyes were red as he stuffed a small cloth bag into Xiaobai's hand and said, "Wear this silver bracelet that mother left behind."
His voice was a little choked up, "When you get to Gu's house...be well."
"We are both studying in Beijing, and we will meet soon. Don't make it like a farewell."
Lin Xiaoan made fun of his elder brother, but turned around and wiped away his tears.
The "big monster" that I was afraid of when I first met it has now really become someone else's, and I feel very uncomfortable.
He vaguely understood that his real sister might have said goodbye to them that morning.
"Let's go! See you in Beijing!" Xiaobai waved and never looked back.
Tang Jingmo stood silently behind her, draping his navy coat over her shoulders. Suddenly, she turned around, buried her face in his chest, and hugged his waist.
"Family love is such a strange thing. I'm suddenly a little curious about what kind of people my parents are."
Tang Jingmo naturally understood that the "parents" she was referring to were Lin Xiaobai's biological parents in the last days, but unfortunately there was no way to verify it.
"The base has your detailed file information, but strangely, your birth time and place as well as your parents are all unclear."
"There are so many orphans in the apocalypse, how many of them really know their origins? It doesn't matter, I can live well with or without them."
Tang Jingmo has always had doubts about this matter, but it is not appropriate to discuss it at this moment.
He patted her back gently, as if he was comforting a wounded sea eagle.
Also returning to the capital on the ship were Gu Zhongzhang and his sister, and Song Wan.
Gu Zhongzhang was transferred back to the capital, while Gu Mingyue and Song Wan received their admission letters and their grain and oil relations could be transferred back to the capital, officially ending their life in the countryside.
Gu Zhongzhang was busy handing lemon slices to the seasick Song Wan, while Gu Mingyue was making ginger tea on the side.
Song Wan's face was pale but she still argued: "Gu Zhongzhang! You gave me such a sour lemon, do you think I didn't vomit enough stomach acid?"
Gu Zhongzhang pushed his glasses aggrievedly: "Auntie, this is salt lemon, from the mud house on Dong'ao Island, the old village chief patted his chest and guaranteed that it would work..."
Suddenly a wave hit, and Song Wan threw herself directly into his arms, causing Gu Mingyue to cover her mouth and laugh.
