For her own sake, Lin Yanbai secretly took out the high-quality Red Strawberry Seeds she had drawn before from the system, and found an excuse to deceive Gu Xingfan by saying that she bought them through Wang Shuang.
The small vegetable patch in the corner of my house is planted with tomatoes, cucumbers, leeks, onions, garlic and so on. I planted a little of each, enough for two people to eat. The weather has been good these two days, and the vegetables are growing amazingly. I believe that we will be able to have vegetable freedom in a few days!
Gu Xingfan planted the strawberry seeds on the edge of the vegetable field. According to Xiaoqi, this variety is easy to grow and the fruits are big and sweet. Lin Yanbai couldn't help but look forward to it.
The next day she held her waist and complained of pain again. She realized that letting Gu Xingfan eat too much was of no benefit. Ugh!
As for breakfast, Gu Xingfan got up early in the morning and ran to the state-owned restaurant to buy fried dough sticks, soy milk and tea eggs. After eating, the two hurried to the factory.
Since getting married, Gu Xingfan has changed his previous casual attitude and finally taken his work seriously. People in the office have a new respect for him!
For the next period of time, Lin Yanbai spent his days writing speeches and the like, while Gu Xingfan was busy inspecting the various departments. Their days were ordinary but happy. During their breaks, the two would return to the compound to spend time with Grandpa and Aunt Shen.
However, they are often urged to have a baby by their spouse. Usually, at this time, they always laugh it off and change the subject. They have just gotten married and they are not planning to have a baby so soon!
Although Gu Xingfan always intentionally takes it outside, to be on the safe side, she also takes contraceptive pills produced by the system. The biggest advantage of this medicine is that it does not cause any harm to the body. Lin Yanbai is quite satisfied with it!
Unlike the happy atmosphere at the Gu family, the atmosphere at the Lin family was getting worse and worse. Ever since the last big fight, Lin Qingfeng seemed to have fallen into a vicious circle. He got angry when he saw Liu Mei and Lin Wan. He simply didn't come back for dinner in the afternoon and asked for overtime at the factory every day.
As for Lin Chen, maybe Lin Wan’s words last time really hurt him, so he spoke very little at the dinner table and almost went into his room as soon as he finished his meal.
Seeing Lin Chen finish his meal quickly and return to his room again, Lin Wan slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Mom, look at my brother, what does he mean? And my dad, how long has it been since he came home for dinner? It's not all my fault back then. If Lin Yanbai and the others hadn't gone to the factory director, wouldn't everyone be happy? In my opinion, they are to blame for this. They are so unreasonable!"
Liu Mei didn't know what to say. In fact, she also felt that Lin Yanbai was making a big deal out of nothing. However, Lin Qingfeng's recent indifference made her a little hesitant and she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction.
Just as the mother and daughter were looking at each other, someone knocked on the door. Liu Mei was a little surprised. Why was there someone visiting at this time!
As she thought, no one came to visit. When Liu Mei opened the door, she saw a comrade from their neighborhood committee standing at the door with a small notebook. Seeing the door open, he asked seriously:
"Comrade, I'm here to do a community survey. I see both of our children have graduated a few months ago. Have they secured jobs?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei felt uneasy. This...she still has a Lin Wan in her family!
"Comrade? Has it been implemented?"
"This... My son has confirmed it, and my daughter..."
"No daughter?" the man said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, my daughter has one too, but... she can't go to work until two days later. It shouldn't affect her, right?" Liu Mei's face was full of nervousness.
The man glanced at her, lowered his head and scribbled a few words on the notebook, and replied, "That doesn't affect it!"
Everyone had left, but Liu Mei was still standing at the door. Her legs felt weak and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
After a while, she slowly returned home. As soon as she entered the living room, Lin Wan rushed over and grabbed her arm: "Mom... do they know about my situation and want to force me to go to the countryside?"
Her voice was slightly trembling, and Liu Mei could easily sense her fear. She quickly hugged her baby daughter in her arms and comforted her:
"Don't worry, Mom has already sent her away. I told you I won't let you go to the countryside, absolutely not!"
Looking at Liu Mei's determined eyes, Lin Wan nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, you're so kind. Dad and brother only have Lin Yanbai in their eyes now. I only have you. You must not abandon me..."
Liu Mei felt so heartbroken that she hurriedly tried to comfort her and successfully stopped Lin Wan from crying.
She wiped the remaining tears from her face and said seriously, "Mom, what can you do? It's not a good idea to keep lying like this. It will be troublesome if it is exposed one day!"
"This... I was thinking of saying I'm not feeling well and asking you to take over my shift. This is the only solution I have."
Lin Wan was very excited when she heard this. That's right! How could her stupid brain not think of this? This way, she would be a formal employee!
"It's just... I need to discuss it with your dad first."
Lin Wan is not worried at all. Even though her father looks angry these past two days, he will definitely be soft-hearted when the time comes!
Sure enough, although Lin Qingfeng was still very indifferent, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard Liu Mei say that people had come to investigate.
After all, she is his biological daughter, and she has been cherished like a treasure since she was a child. No matter how angry or disappointed he is, he really can't bear to watch Lin Wan go to the countryside.
In the past two years, many people have gone to the countryside, and how many of them can come back? Not to mention that Lin Wan is a girl, and a beautiful girl at that.
Lin Qingfeng did not forget that there was a family living at the end of their alley. A few years after the girl went to the countryside, she was raped by a village scoundrel. The villagers still protected the scoundrel, and in the end the two had no choice but to get married.
Thinking of this, and considering that Liu Mei was indeed not in good health, Lin Qingfeng made up his mind and said, "Alright, there's really no other way but to do this. Yan Bai is capable on his own, so we don't need to worry about it. In the end, our work will still belong to Lin Wan and Lin Chen, so just consider it as giving it to him in advance!"
Hearing this, Lin Wan couldn't hold back the smile on her face: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom! I will definitely work hard!"
Looking at Lin Wan's appearance, Lin Qingfeng sighed deeply, hoping that this decision was the right one... He felt very upset, but he thought, out of sight, out of mind. Lin Qingfeng turned around and went back to the bedroom.
Lin Wan was immersed in her own world and didn't notice that her old father had left.
