After shopping in the department store, Gu Qinglin handed the child over to Aunt Yu to take care of in the evening.

He used his connections and, with the introduction of an acquaintance, he arrived at night with two cans of maltose, a bag of fruit and a pack of premium cigarettes.

I went to the home of the director of the machinery factory and found his wife, Liu Lan, and asked her to help propose marriage tomorrow.

Liu Lan wanted to refuse at first, but when she heard about Gu Qinglin's position in the unit, she immediately smiled and warmly welcomed him.

"That's easy. Captain Gu is young and capable, and he's also very handsome. I'm sure everything goes well for him every day."

Director Wang standing by was shocked. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him had climbed to the position of the head coach so easily. You know, most of those who can sit in this position are already in their thirties.

This man looks to be only twenty-five years old, even more powerful than the kid from the Lu family. He is indeed a young man.

They were really surprised that they were approached about this.

So Director Wang quickly signaled to his wife, asking her to handle the matter well.

Liu Lan naturally knew the importance of things, so she didn't dare to neglect Gu Qinglin. Therefore, from the moment the other party revealed his identity, she nodded.

"Don't worry, Captain Gu. Shen Man's mother has some connections with me. I'll leave this matter to you. I'm sure you won't be wrong."

She really didn't expect that Yang Fang, the daughter-in-law of a small workshop team leader, would one day be able to marry such a good son-in-law because of a divorced girl.

The head of the group is not only good himself, but also very good-looking.

A divorced woman could actually marry such a man.

It would be great if Shen Man was her daughter, but it's a pity that she doesn't have such luck, let alone the ability.

Gu Qinglin nodded and said, "Then I'm sorry to trouble Aunt Liu to take care of me tomorrow."

When Liu Lan heard the other party calling her Aunt Liu, she immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Captain Gu will take care of this matter. Don't worry, with my help, there will be no problem."

They helped him so much and said they would come to him for help later.

Moreover, such a young leader will definitely have a bright future as long as nothing unexpected happens.

Yang Fang is really lucky. Each of her sons-in-law is more capable than the other. She is envious of them all.

After leaving Director Wang's house, it was already early.

Gu Qinglin raised his wrist and saw that it was past 15 o'clock in the evening.

Just now, I went to Wang's house, and there were Director Wang and his sons. I sat down and drank a lot of wine. Originally, I came to ask for help, and I couldn't refuse, but after a while, I really drank a lot of wine.

He raised his hand and rubbed his sore temples. He thought that half of the work was done. As for the rest, he would have to wait until tomorrow.

When I got back to the door of my house, the light opposite was dimly lit.

Gu Qinglin looked up subconsciously, but unfortunately the lights went out after a few seconds. It seemed that the other person had just fallen asleep.

He lowered his head and smelled the alcohol on his body, which was light but still pungent.

If I go back like this, my children will definitely smell it.

So Gu Qinglin stood in the dark yard, waiting for the smell of alcohol to dissipate before returning to the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Yu heard the noise. She came out and said with a smile, "Xiao Bei has fallen asleep. He has been in good spirits these past two days. Nothing has happened."

Gu Qinglin nodded, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Aunt Yu, "Aunt, this is this month's salary and reward."

"Thank you for taking care of Xiaobei these days."

Aunt Yu didn't hesitate to take the red envelope, feel its thickness, and immediately smiled, "It's my duty. I took the money to do the work, so I should thank you with my money."

Xiaobei is the most well-behaved child among all the children she has taken care of. Apart from being sick frequently, he basically never gets into trouble.

Over the past two months, she has really liked this child. She hopes that after Comrade Xiao Shen and Comrade Gu get married, they will continue to treat their child like this.

After Aunt Yu went back to her room and fell asleep, Gu Qinglin first went into the room to check on the child. As usual every night, he touched Xiaobei's forehead and found nothing unusual, then he helped him cover the quilt.

Sitting by the bed, looking at Xiaobei's rosy sleeping face, for some reason, Gu Qinglin always felt that something was real, as if everything was just a dream, and everything was gone when he woke up.

Especially the two times in the past few days, when I had a sudden high fever without any signs.

It was just like when Xiaobei suddenly appeared in the car, hugged his thighs and called him daddy, catching people off guard.

Gu Qinglin gently touched the child's face, with a complicated look in his eyes.

…

The next day came in a flash.

Before the agreed time, Liu Lan, the wife of the machinery factory director, had already made preparations.

The two met at the gate of the machinery factory's staff compound.

When she saw Gu Qinglin carrying large and small bags of things, and the two men behind him who were also carrying things, her face immediately filled with smiles.

"Captain Gu, who are these people behind you?"

Gu Qinglin introduced them to her, "These are some friends from this place. They are here to help you pick up something today."

They are called friends, but the people he can only get to know are usually unknown people, and these people are all in their thirties, and their aura is obviously that of ordinary people.

Liu Lan recognized one of them at once. It was Director Guo from the Forestry Bureau. She heard that he was a retired soldier.

The other one looked simple and was probably at the same level as Director Guo.

This time she dared not to be negligent and greeted everyone one by one.

So what if she's the factory director's wife? She said she'd need help someday, so this trip wasn't in vain.

Director Guo patted Gu Qinglin on the shoulder and said, "It seems that our head of the group, Gu, is very satisfied with this new daughter-in-law. He even invited the wife of Director Wang of the machinery factory to act as a matchmaker."

"I originally thought that since he doesn't know many people here, we brothers should go out to fill the gap. I didn't expect that he was fully prepared and waited for us to make a move."

Look at the things he prepared today: Chinese Maotai liquor, Lixian's most famous thighs, high-end cigarettes, spices from Haishi, White Rabbit milk candy, two kilograms of brown sugar, and meat... Any of them are hard to buy for ordinary people.

Some of them still need tickets, for example, the most brown sugar tickets, the average worker can get two taels of brown sugar tickets per month, but Gu Qinglin was wrong, but he sold two kilograms at a time.

It seems that he really cares about this daughter-in-law.

Liu Lan stood aside and looked at these things, her heart was shocked. This was just an engagement, and most people would at most take a few pieces of ingredients, and half a pound of brown sugar was a lot.

As for the bride price, it is calculated separately.

I didn't expect that after Captain Gu made a move, he would get so many gifts. No wonder he needed someone to help.
