Not long after, Shen Man gradually came out of the confinement period and her body was almost recovered.

Today is the first day after the confinement. Gao Fenglan and Lu Changhai were very excited to learn that their daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, in one breath.

Gao Fenglan directly sent a lot of things for the child, as well as things for the mother to recuperate, and even remitted an extra 600 yuan.

The two children and Shen Man each gave 200 yuan as a bonus for the three of them.

Many people in the compound were jealous, and one or two of them were sighing at how lucky Shen Man was.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Qinglin's vacation was almost over, and he would start working in a few days.

As for Shen Mingchuan, he had already returned to Pingxian to study.

In the middle of the night, after Shen Man finished feeding the baby, Yang Fang handed another baby to her, "Man Man, now that you are out of confinement, Mom plans to go back the day after tomorrow."

Shen Man was slightly stunned, "Mom, so fast?"

She always felt that her mother had only been with her for a short time, and now she was leaving all of a sudden.

Yang Fang reached out and touched her daughter's head, sighed and said, "It's time for Mom to go. You're married now and have a child. Mom sees that Qinglin treats you well, so Mom is relieved."

How can a mother stay with her child all her life? It’s time to separate.

Shen Man's eyes were slightly red, and she threw herself into Yang Fang's arms, hugging her waist, "Mom, I will miss you."

If her mother hadn't come to take care of her these days, she wouldn't have been able to live such an easy life.

In this world, probably no one would be like her mother, who would devote everything to her without any calculation.

Yang Fang held Shen Man in her arms, patting her back gently like she did when she was a child, her brows softened, "Mom will miss you too."

She has two children in her life. Actually, selfishly speaking, she prefers her daughter more, but of course she loves her son as well.

Now that the young lady has found a good home, she is relieved.

In the days to come, she planned to focus on her son, to help Mingchuan study well, and then find him a wife and let him get married and have children.

Shen Man hugged Yang Fang tightly. In her heart, she really didn't want to be separated from her mother, but she knew that her mother had given enough for her and it was time for her to have a good rest.

"Mom, if you feel lonely, you can find a companion. Mingchuan and I will support you."

Although her mother is over 40 years old, she still maintains herself well.

Standing next to her, she looks almost the same as her sister. Perhaps because of her age, her mother looks a little more gentle and charming than a young girl.

As long as her mother is willing, she will definitely find a good one.

Yang Fang lowered her head and smiled, "You, you, I'm already this age, how can I care about those things?"

"I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to watch Mingchuan study hard. Later, I will use my connections to get him a job in the supply and marketing cooperative, and then you two will travel safely."

If it weren't for the need to take better care of her children, she would not have chosen to remarry.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, the memories of when I was sixteen or seventeen are gradually becoming clearer, and every detail of my time with that man is becoming clearer.

If only he hadn't died.

Shen Man leaned on Yang Fang's shoulder, looked up at her profile, and blinked, "Mom, are you really not going to find another one?"

A woman in her forties is still in her prime, and she still has several decades to go. It would be too lonely to live alone.

Yang Fang reached out and poked her forehead, shaking her head and saying, "No, I'm not looking for one anymore. I'm so comfortable being alone, and the money I earn every month is enough to spend. If I look for another one, I'll basically be someone's stepmother again, and I'm already scared of being a stepmother."

"I would rather be alone now than marry someone and then serve their whole family."

Shen Man thought about it and realized that it was true, so she stopped talking about this topic.

…

In a blink of an eye, the day after tomorrow is here.

Shen Man and Gu Qinglin personally carried the two children and went to see Yang Fang off together.

Before getting on the train, Yang Fang turned around and glanced at Shen Man. When their eyes met, they both couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. They felt sad and reluctant to leave.

"Mom..."

“Manman…”

After today, I don’t know when we will meet again.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful for marrying her daughter so far away, but when Yang Fang's gaze fell on Shen Man, she was always taking care of her Gu Qinglin.

Yang Fang also felt that as long as the man was good, marrying far away was not a big problem.

Even though the two were reluctant to leave, the train was about to leave, and they had to say goodbye with great pain.

With a roar, the train started and slowly drove away into the distance.

The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the train also moved away until it disappeared.

Shen Man could no longer suppress her emotions and couldn't help but shed tears.

Gu Qinglin sighed, held the child in one hand, took out a handkerchief with the other hand, lowered his head and gently wiped away Shen Man's tears.

"We'll see each other again someday. Don't cry. If mom knew, she would be heartbroken."

Shen Man looked up at him with red eyes, "After two or three years, when the child is older, I want to go back to see Mom and Mingchuan."

It is now the spring of 1976. In a few years, it will be a good time for reform and opening up.

People's travel will become more and more convenient.

Gu Qinglin smiled and nodded, "Okay, then the four of us will go back together to see Mom and Mingchuan."

At this moment, the children in their arms just started giggling.

Shen Man looked down at the two children, then looked up at the man, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Okay, you said it."

"Well, say what I said."

Little did they know that in the corner, a tall and straight man had his eyes fixed on the family of four.

Not until the family of four had walked away did he retract his gaze, lowering his eyes to hide the fluctuating emotions in his eyes.

"Second brother, what are you looking at? Let's go quickly. I'm starving to death." Lu Hongmei, who had just got off the train, shouted at the top of her voice.

Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, then took his sister, who had just arrived at the train station, to the guesthouse near the army station.

Lu Hongmei chattered all the way and asked questions non-stop.

"Second brother, what does the person you introduced to me look like? Is he a good person? Can his family conditions withstand my abuse?"

She now wants to find a man who can support her and give her a rich and stable life. Other things are not important, good conditions are the most important.

Lu Zhengguo frowned, "What nonsense! You can't just focus on these external conditions. The people I introduce to you this time are all promising soldiers. You can choose any one of them, it's better than marrying the son of the deputy workshop director."

He had to change Hongmei's temper and not let her marry anyone casually, lest she regret it later.

Lu Hongmei was unhappy when she heard this and just stood there without moving, "No, I won't leave. I'd better go back."

"Marry me if you want. I won't marry you anyway."

Unfortunately, this man is her second brother, and he didn't even introduce her to the person she wanted, but instead introduced her to those she didn't like.

Isn't this just tricking her into coming here?
