On a summer evening after dinner, a gentle breeze blows, and the hem of her skirt flutters like a butterfly.
The area around the Lu family's house is mostly inhabited by older people, and after dinner, they would all agree to go for a walk together.
When Lu Lin appeared before everyone, their eyes involuntarily followed him.
The young man from the Lu family hadn't been seen for a while since he was injured.
He was someone we all watched grow up, and he was at the height of his career when he was full of vigor and ambition. It's heartbreaking to see such a talented person suffer such a blow.
"Grandma Wu, Grandpa Wang..."
As soon as Lu Lin came out, he was surrounded by everyone. He greeted them with a gentle smile.
"Good boy, who is this young comrade?"
Grandma Wu noticed that Gu Mingyue treated Lu Lin differently. The little girl was very thoughtful and noticed that there were small mosquitoes on Lu Lin's body, so she kindly helped him remove them.
Gu Mingyue raised her small face and said with a smile, "Hello, Grandma Wu, I am Lu Lin's boyfriend."
Lu Lin: ......
He knew this would happen.
Well, it's not good for a young woman like her to live in the compound without a proper identity. Considering that she helped Wanwan with her dressing up, Lu Lin acquiesced.
A slight smile appeared on Lu Wanwan's lips. She knew there was something going on between her brother and Gu Mingyue!
"Grandma Wu, do you think my clothes look good today?"
Lu Wanwan spun around, showing herself from all angles.
"She looks beautiful, Wanwan looks good in anything."
Grandma Wu's younger generation are all working hard outside, and only her son and daughter-in-law are by her side. They are very fond of the young children in the compound.
Lu Wanwan is lively and has a sweet tongue, making her very popular with her grandparents.
"This was put together by my sister-in-law."
sister in law?
The gossipy eyes of the crowd darted back and forth between Lu Lin and Gu Mingyue, wondering if they were about to get married.
"Xiao Lin, when do you two get married? We old folks will come and share in the joy."
"Yes, yes, our compound hasn't been this lively in a long time."
The situation outside is grim, and even those of them who have weathered many storms feel uneasy.
The Lu family has always kept a low profile, but when they appear as elders, no one will gossip.
If anyone disagrees, let's confront each other face to face!
Lu Lin had a headache. Weren't we talking about clothes?
Why did we suddenly start talking about marriage?
Seeing the elders discussing so enthusiastically, he had a bad feeling.
Gu Mingyue smiled shyly: "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa and Grandma. When Lu Lin and I get married, we will definitely invite everyone to our wedding banquet."
The little girl had clear eyes, her pupils curved like crescent moons, and her eyebrows were slightly raised; she had a clean and charming appearance.
Her face, free of makeup, was full of sincerity, which made the elders like her even more, praising Lu Lin for finding a good wife.
That night, Lu Lin tossed and turned in bed, unable to understand how the person he was supposed to date had become his wife.
He pinched his thigh hard, but it was still the same; he felt nothing at all.
A sigh came from the room.
Gu Mingyue was unaware of Lu Lin's troubles. She went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's operation.
The next day, after breakfast, Lu Wanwan couldn't wait to drag Gu Mingyue out the door.
"Sister-in-law, let's hurry up. I heard there's a limited-time event with lots of interesting little gadgets."
A new department store has opened in Beijing, and today is its opening day.
They took Gu Mingyue out for a good look around, while Zhong Yuxiu had to go to work and was disappointed that she couldn't participate in the event.
Gu Mingyue only brought a small suitcase when she came, so Xia Huiying decided to buy her more things.
To avoid some short-sighted people in the compound rushing to join in the fun, the Lu family is not someone to be trifled with.
"Slow down, no rush, I haven't finished getting my things yet."
Xia Huiying gestured to her granddaughter to calm down.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the three of them left home on time.
During work hours, you encounter even more people.
One by one, the strangers walking beside Xia Huiying looked on with curiosity. They had heard last night that Lu Lin had a wife and thought they wouldn't see him for a while, but they never expected the opportunity to come so quickly.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Gu Mingyue kept her eyes straight ahead, adopting the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Before leaving home, the old lady prepared herself, knowing that as Lu Lin's daughter-in-law, she would receive more attention.
Gu Mingyue remained calm, her simple clothes completely overlooked by others due to her elegant demeanor.
Taking into account Lu Lin's situation, his superiors assigned him a bodyguard.
Lu Lin was strong-willed and had never allowed the other party to come.
This is a rare opportunity, and I'd like to ask them to take the three ladies to the department store.
Xia Huiying waved her hand: "We're not some big leaders, let's not give anyone something to talk about. We'll take the bus later and show Mingyue around somewhere else."
Gu Mingyue also thought this was a good suggestion, and said softly, "We're worried about you and Grandpa staying at home. Why don't we let Xiaotian stay here with you?"
Xiao Tian was the assigned bodyguard.
"Commander Gu, I haven't had a chance to show my skills since I was assigned this position. Please let me stay here."
Gu Mingyue looked over with her watery eyes, and Lu Lin swallowed the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue.
So, the three ladies in the family took the bus out.
Along the way, Lu Wanwan whispered to Gu Mingyue about the scenery outside the window.
It looks similar to what it will look like in later times, but with fewer skyscrapers and more of the warmth and life of everyday life.
Many people went to the department store to join in the fun, and when they arrived, there was a long queue outside.
"My goodness, there are so many people! Grandma, let's go line up first."
Lu Wanwan was strong and almost dragged Xia Huiying along. If Gu Mingyue hadn't been supporting her on the other side, the old lady would have almost fallen halfway.
Standing at the back of the line, Xia Huiying, having regained her footing, immediately offered her granddaughter comfort.
Lu Wanwan covered her arm and sobbed; she would never dare to do it again.
The department store has five floors, and each floor sells different things.
They headed straight for the wardrobe counter, where a dazzling array of goods were displayed, mostly in shades of blue, black, and gray.
A few brightly colored items occupy a corner of the shelf.
Gu Mingyue glanced over and saw a few nice-looking pieces that caught her eye.
Xia Huiying kept a close eye on her expression, and if her gaze lingered for even a second longer, she would have the salesperson take everything down.
“This red dress makes my sister-in-law look even fairer.”
Lu Wanwan looked at Gu Mingyue's fair face with envy, really wanting to touch it.
It's good that my older brother isn't here, otherwise... hehehehe...
"Wanwan, let's compare the sleeves and see if they fit."
Xia Huiying's words brought Lu Wanwan back to her senses with regret.
Gu Mingyue is tall, has long legs, and is very beautiful. She is practically a walking clothes rack, and any clothes placed on her body look good.
The saleswoman couldn't help but cast an envious glance. She had been in this industry for over a decade and had met many women with good figures, but few who were both good-looking and had good figures.
The little girl in front of me is one of them.
