Not getting the expression she wanted, Xu Ronghua left.
Only after she left did Lin Yiduo furrow her brows and begin to ponder.
I haven't told anyone else in my family, but I expect it will spread soon.
She secretly called her son, Su Jiarui.
"Hello, this is the ****** Military Region. Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Su Jiarui."
She was just trying it out, since her son often went on missions.
The long wait made her a little impatient until she heard her son's panting voice on the other end.
"Hello? Mom?"
"Hey, don't rush, catch your breath first." Lin Yiduo also felt sorry for her son, who always came back looking so dark.
"I'm fine, you tell me?"
"Jiarui, when you went to see Zhiyu last time, was there a man with her?"
She thought that her son had at least been to that brigade, even if he only met her once, so he should be able to remember something.
Su Jiarui was momentarily stunned by the question, and the image of Lu Chen's face and the way he looked at Ye Zhiyu subconsciously appeared in her mind.
c, my teeth are a little itchy, I want to take a bite out of him.
"Jia Rui? Jia Rui? Really?"
His silence made Lin Yiduo feel uneasy.
Su Jiarui didn't want to mention him, and instead asked Lin Yiduo, "Mom, why are you asking about this?"
His avoidance of the topic only led Lin Yiduo to misunderstand, and she hurriedly questioned him: "How can you be such a brother? Your sister is being targeted, and you're doing nothing? Su Jiarui, is this how I raised you?"
Su Jiarui was bewildered: "No, Mom? What happened? Why is this happening so suddenly?"
Lin Yiduo repeated what Xu Ronghua had told her.
Su Jiarui's silence was deafening. Lin Yiduo only heard her son curse on the other end of the phone, "Damn, I should have fought him back then."
Lin Yiduo gleaned the meaning of "him" from his brief words.
"Who is he? Have you met him? Do you know him? What's he like? Has he bullied Zhiyu?"
Su Jiarui then awkwardly told Lin Yiduo what he had seen and heard last time.
"Back then, Lu Chen was completely infatuated, and Ye Zhiyu was really easy to fool; she was won over in such a short time."
Although Su Jiarui disliked Lu Chen for taking Ye Zhiyu as his sweetheart, he wouldn't deliberately slander him; he simply told the truth.
Lin Yiduo's perception changed, and she realized that the other party was a good person. She breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhiyu was not bullied, everything else could be put aside for now.
"How can you talk like that? That's your sister."
"Okay, I got it. It's nothing, I'm hanging up now." He was already annoyed that Ye Zhiyu had been taken down, and he needed to vent.
"Hey, hello, hello."
The phone kept ringing with dial tone.
"Why did you hang up so quickly? I haven't even told him to take good care of himself yet," Lin Yiduo complained.
When Su Zheng'an returned home that evening, he had just entered the door. Although his expression was normal when facing his parents, after many years of marriage, the worry in his eyes did not escape Lin Yiduo's notice.
"You're back. I'll go cook."
Lin Yiduo greeted her parents-in-law and followed Su Zheng'an into the kitchen.
You found out?
Su Zheng'an knew what she was talking about, nodded sullenly, and peeled scallions in his hand.
Lin Yiduo took a pot, added water, and started making soup.
“I asked Jia Rui, and he said he had met that man and that he was a good person, unlike what Xu Ronghua said.”
"Moreover, Xu Ronghua's words cannot be trusted."
Su Zheng'an sighed again, but he was no longer afraid.
Lin Yiduo suppressed a laugh: "You two are the same, father and son. You're not happy when you hear that Zhiyu is dating. Zhiyu will find someone sooner or later. She can't stay single forever, can she?"
"If he doesn't want to marry, then he doesn't want to marry. Ye Jinlin only has one daughter. Can't he afford to raise her? If he doesn't want to raise her, then I will."
"You wish! Your brother-in-law will never give your daughter to you. I understand how you feel, but you should also consider Zhiyu, you two."
Su Zheng'an said reluctantly, "Zhiyu's happiness is certainly important, but we also need to see if that kid is qualified."
Lin Yiduo just smiled and said, "After you finish eating, go to the Ye family. Don't make your brother-in-law worry."
Su Zheng'an already knew, so there's no reason why Ye Jinlin wouldn't know.
"Okay, sure."
......
Tomorrow is the winter solstice, but the educated youth settlement has no flour. The grain we just received is still the same, and we have to go to the grain station in town to exchange it.
Lu Chen and his men were still on the mountain, while Ye Zhiyu and the other educated youth went there together.
She decided to make a phone call home; she was planning to bring Lu Chen back for the Chinese New Year and wanted to let her family know in advance so they could be prepared.
My backside was tortured by the oxcart all the way.
Upon arriving in town, she couldn't wait to get off and go to the place where she picked up her package to borrow a small cart from Tian Xiaofen.
Lin Yueze and the others carried some of it, and put the rest on the cart.
They arrived at the grain station quickly. While they were storing the grain, Ye Zhiyu took out her special supply booklet from home. She wanted to exchange it for some rice, as she had used up all the rice in the cupboard after making porridge.
The staff member held the special supply book, glancing at her repeatedly, but hesitated to process her application.
Ye Zhiyu was annoyed by the stare: "What? Is there a problem?"
"This isn't yours, is it?"
Ye Zhiyu didn't touch her aunt's things; she took Ye Jinlin's special booklet, which had a man's name on it.
"My dad's."
The staff member still looked at her suspiciously, "You didn't find it, did you?"
Ye Zhiyu was stumped by the question, "Would you lose your family's food ration book?"
One sentence left the staff speechless.
Realizing how foolish her words were, she handled the matter with a sour expression. She was just a little jealous, as special supplies were not something that ordinary people could have.
After the grain was transported to the oxcart, Liu Yuan voluntarily stayed behind to watch over it.
Others, more or less, want to buy something.
Few people called, and soon it was Ye Zhiyu's turn.
I called Ye Jinlin first.
"Hey, Dad."
"So you still remember you have a father like me?" Ye Jinlin's sarcastic voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Zhiyu assumed it was because they hadn't called each other for a long time, since Ye Jinlin had placed all his affection for his wife on her.
"Dad, I know I haven't called you in a long time, but it's too cold here, and it's snowing, so the roads are slippery. Please forgive me."
"Stop joking. The Fu family said you're dating someone. You'd better give me an explanation."
Ye Zhiyu suddenly realized that this was the reason.
"I called today to tell you that I've started dating someone and I want to bring him home for Chinese New Year."
"I won't allow it. Tell Dad, did that kid threaten you?"
"Dad, I didn't. Lu Chen is a good person. Besides, if I don't bring him back, how will you know if he's right for me? You know I have bad taste. You're advising me to break up with him without helping me make a decision. My stubborn temper is about to flare up."
Ye Zhiyu specifically brought up the past.
As expected, Ye Jinlin agreed; he genuinely didn't trust his daughter's judgment.
