Chapter 153 Courage

"Xiao Qia, are you dating the girl from the Lin family?" a mother-in-law asked.

Lin Siwei recognized this mother-in-law. When I walked into Fish Bone Alley for the first time, the first alley resident I met was this mother-in-law.

At that time, she asked: "Little girl, which one are you looking for?" Then the grievances between Lin Siwei and Yugu Lane for more than half a year were revealed.

"Yes, mother-in-law, we are in love." Lin Siwei replied with a smile.

Gu Qia was surprised and happy, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Siwei. He really didn't expect that Lin Siwei would admit it so readily, and he thought he would have to hide it.

The mother-in-law smiled happily and kept looking at their backs. She kept saying, "It's a good match, it's a good match."

Gu Qia was overjoyed and asked in a low voice, "Can you say it? I was afraid that you wouldn't let me go." I dare not say anything."

Lin Siwei was amused by him: "What can't be said? Let's make it official earlier so that these mothers-in-law and aunts won't want to introduce you to someone else." "It's our official announcement

.

As for the issue, we are the official, and all other channels are considered private channels and can only be called legends."

Weiwei always said the most reasonable thing. Gu Qia secretly hooked Lin Siwei's little finger and couldn't help but laugh: "In the future, we will. It's you who announces everything, you are my official."

Lin Siwei's heart suddenly swayed. The sudden tenderness really catches people off guard.

No. 63 Gu's house, Gu Mingde saw the two of them holding hands and entering the house without hesitation. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into two slits. He shouted into the house: "Weiwei is here."

Zhang Xiuqin came out with a spatula in hand. Waving, he said: "Oh, I haven't seen you for so many days, Weiwei, you are finally here. Come and talk to me."

"Okay!" Lin Siwei responded cheerfully, and winked at Gu Mingde, "I'll talk to you later. " Chess, I'll talk to grandma for a while."

"It's okay, you go first." Gu Mingde pretended to be generous, but when Lin Siwei entered the room, his face immediately fell and he said to Gu Qian, "Your grandma just doesn't want to go." You are sensible and act as if you have never been younger. You asked Weiwei to talk to her. Shouldn't Weiwei talk to you more? "

Actually, he is jealous in his heart. How could Gu Qia not know what he was thinking and would never let him succeed in provoking him, so he suppressed a smile and said, "Wei Wei and I will talk about this for the rest of our lives. Don't worry about it for a while."

Gu Mingde looked at him sideways: "Hey, you deserve to find a partner first. If Xiaohuai is half as good at coaxing people as you are, my grandson is already hugging me right now."

Gu Huai just walked out of the room and pushed up his glasses awkwardly: "Grandpa, I The main task is to study."

"What's the main task? A capable person should do both."

Well, Gu Huai could only admit that he couldn't do it.

He has been corresponding with the provincial military chief, the female doctor who always carries toffee in her pocket, for some time, but the beginning must still be: Dear Dr. Tang.

For this matter, he was often laughed at by Gu Qia.

Gu Qia said that if it were him, he would definitely write "Dear Dr. Tang". Gu Huai was confused and said, isn't this a typo? If Dr. Tang thinks that I, a master's student, write typos, it would be embarrassing.

Gu Qia was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "This is called a nickname. Dr. Tang is too formal and serious, so you just write about toffee's candy, and then write again. Every time you pick up the pen, I think of the toffee in your white coat pocket." Isn't this friendly all of a sudden?"

Gu Huai's eyes lit up, but within three seconds, they darkened again and hid behind the lenses of his glasses.

"Forget it, I can't say such disgusting words."

"Brother, you don't want a girl to take the initiative, you are a man." Gu Qia said "I am an expert" on his face, completely forgetting that he and Lin Siwei At the beginning of the correspondence, I wrote "Dear Classmate Lin Siwei".

However, the two of them usually quarreled, but when Gu Huai was in trouble, Gu Qia would be the first to step forward to save him.

In front of his grandfather, he said that he should take a two-pronged approach. Gu Qia felt that it was a bit "forced to overcome difficulties".

So Gu Qia put his arm around Gu Huai's shoulders affectionately and said, "My brother must be hiding his partner in the capital, or else he's hiding in the provincial capital. With a talent like my brother's, there's no way he won't have a partner, right."

Then he pretended to be joking, He forced Gu Huai to the balcony.

"Brother, I will return to the team next week, but I can't control you anymore. I suggest you take the time to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible."

Gu Huai's face suddenly turned red and he murmured: "I...I went to the provincial capital for no reason. "It's a bit... too embarrassing. People ask me, how can I explain?"

"Brother..." Gu Qia slapped his forehead with helplessness on his face, "Just tell me, I'm here to see you. What's wrong?" Did she sell you, or was

she afraid that she would eat you? " "What if... what if she doesn't have this idea..."

The hand that had just slapped her forehead now began to pat her chest: "Believe me, if she didn't have this idea, it wouldn't be possible at all. She won't even reply to your letter. And she said in the letter that she has no partner, right?"

"Yes, that's what she said. I didn't even ask." Gu Huai nodded.

"That's enough. Do you still need someone to take the initiative to say, I'm single, I like you, let's be in a relationship. Girls, they are all shy."

At this point, Gu Qia suddenly remembered that he was in the alley just now , Lin Siwei didn't even think about it, so he firmly admitted that the person he was dating was indeed my Weiwei, which was a bit different.

He chuckled twice and started to pull: "Of course, my Weiwei is not very shy. Of course, it is not common for a girl as generous as Weiwei."

Upon hearing him mention Lin Siwei, Gu Huai had an idea and said : "Although what you said is eloquent, I think Lin Siwei is more reliable than you. Why don't I go back and ask Lin Siwei and see what she says."

In the room, Lin Siwei didn't know that he would soon have to bear an important responsibility again. She is "heavy" enough these days.

"I should have come a long time ago, but recently my uncle and grandfather returned to China to visit relatives. First, he accompanied his family, and then the factory was recruiting workers, and a lot of equipment came for installation and debugging. It was all a matter of time, and it all delayed me. I miss you."

Zhang Xiuqin was amused: "My old lady, it doesn't matter if you think about it or not. Just think about my Xiao Qia."

"Brother Xiao Qia, you don't have to think about it," Lin Siwei said cheerfully.

Zhang Xiuqin had her own thoughts. When she saw that she had finished speaking, she quickly turned over the dishes in the pot, covered the pot, then came to Lin Siwei's side and whispered: "Normally, grandma shouldn't be too nosy, but today she is not too busy." I really can't help it. Grandma will tell you some things. Weiwei, listen to grandma, does it make sense?"

Hearing her serious words, Lin Siwei also became serious: "Grandma, just say it, you will feel uncomfortable if you hold it in your heart. ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiuqin nodded: "Weiwei, you also know that none of my three children are around. It is impossible for Xiaolan to come back, and he will definitely live in Shanghai from now on. As for Xiaohuai, this time If you come back to do the project, you have to go back to school after finishing it. Whether you can go back to Jinling in the future, I don’t know, I think the possibility is very small..."

Lin Siwei had already guessed what Zhang Xiuqin wanted to say.

Lin Siwei is not an inexperienced person. She knows far more about the ways of the world than she lets on. Many young people of later generations are disgusted by their parents talking about pension issues, but Mr. Lin is not disgusted. He even feels that he can understand the mood of his parents and elders.

Of course, understanding only means that she understands the logic of this idea, but it does not mean that she will obey it.

"Grandma, do you want me to persuade Brother Xiaoqia to change his job and return to Jinling?" Lin Siwei asked directly.

Zhang Xiuqin couldn't help but raise her voice an octave: "That's right! Weiwei still understands grandma's heart."

Don't be too happy too early. Lin Siwei's mind was spinning quickly, organizing his words, and said: "Grandma, I understand you very well. Who doesn’t want to have family around him, and who doesn’t want his children and grandchildren to be surrounded by bullets and facing huge dangers at all times? But..."

She paused and observed Zhang Xiuqin's reaction. Zhang Xiuqin listened carefully and nodded slightly from time to time. However, she seemed to know that Lin Siwei would definitely turn around, so when she said "But...", Zhang Xiuqin seemed very calm.

She took Zhang Xiuqin's hand and said softly: "Grandma, Brother Xiaohuai is 25 years old, Sister Xiaolan is 24 years old, and Brother Xiaoqia is 22 years old. They are all adults. We can't arrange for Brother Xiaohuai and Sister Xiaolan." Similarly, we can't arrange Xiao Qia's life."

Zhang Xiuqin didn't understand. If she were an ignorant elder, she would have given orders to the children directly and arrogantly.

But she didn't.

She knew very well that she could not arrange the lives of her children and grandchildren, and she did not want someone to accompany her when she grew old.

Zhang Xiuqin sighed and said: "Weiwei, do you think grandma is an unreasonable person? I want someone to accompany me, but they are all working outside and have no time to accompany me. I don't care that much." Yes. Anyway, Grandpa Gu quarrels with me every day, and the two of us are very lively. I want Xiao Qia to come back, but I am really... scared."

Lin Siwei was not scared.

She held Zhang Xiuqin's hand and applied a little force unconsciously, trying to control her fear. That was when I saw Gu Qia in a wheelchair for the first time at the Provincial Military Headquarters, the fear that naturally surged up in shock.

Afraid of losing control, afraid of losing someone. Afraid that things are not originally like this.

"Grandma, if you ask me to say anything to Brother Xiao Qia, I will only say, protect yourself."

Zhang Xiuqin understood that Lin Siwei would not persuade Gu Qia to return to Jinling, at least not now.

To say she was disappointed would be an understatement. Lin Siwei was the child she fished out from the Lin family. Whether Lin Siwei thought so or not, at least she thought so.

This child is very different from ordinary little girls.

When I heard that Gu Qia was dating her, I was particularly pleased. I am happy that Gu Qia can find a girl who is different, passionate and thoughtful.

Is it any wonder that such a girl wouldn't persuade a brave warrior to return to the greenhouse?

If she had persuaded him, she would no longer be Lin Siwei.

Lin Siwei was afraid that Zhang Xiuqin would be sad, so he deliberately relaxed his tone: "Don't be afraid, grandma, the war will be over soon, and there will be no more wars in the future. Even if Brother Xiaoqia is still in the army, he will not be so dangerous on the battlefield again."

" Really?" Zhang Xiuqin couldn't help but ask.
