Hu Wanning was shocked.
Not only her, even Aunt Zhang and Bai Qingnian beside her widened their eyes.
Ruan Mingfu didn't say anything. She took out the letter and took a look at it.
Only then did I know.
After Ruan Mingfu designed the blueprints for the fourth factory, Director Huang began to rush the work. Until half a month ago, the first batch of clothes was sent to the market.
It was just a last-ditch effort, but I didn't expect it to be welcomed by so many people.
Although people these days don't have much money, but that's the capital!
Director Huang made a fortune and laughed like a fool at the entrance of the village, but he did not forget to ask the accountant to transfer money to her.
"This is from my second sister," Ruan Mingfu handed the letter at the bottom to Hu Wanning, and then she had time to look at Bai Qinghua, "Are you here to see your cousin?"
"No, I came to see you."
Ruan Mingfu looked at him puzzledly.
"That...that one..." Bai Qingnian scratched his hair embarrassingly, with two blushes on his face, looking particularly easy to bully, "Sister-in-law, Yilin ignored me again."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Ever since he knew Gu Yilin's address, Bai Qingnian often wrote to her.
The other party was not very enthusiastic, but he was stubborn. After many times, Gu Yilin gradually started chatting with him. Until the last time he sent a letter, he waited for a week but did not receive a letter from the other party.
He's been hanging around the message room a lot these days, and the comrades inside are getting fed up with him.
"Sister-in-law, can you help me ask Yilin if I did something wrong?"
It seemed that he had troubled Ruan Mingfu, and Bai Qingnian smiled embarrassedly again.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
It's a sin to have fake best friends.
"Have you ever thought that she ignores you because..." Looking at Bai Qingnian's expectant look, Ruan Mingfu gritted her teeth and said, "because she doesn't like you?"
"How is it possible!"
Bai Qingnian blurted out.
Knowing that his reaction was a bit too much and fearing to scare Ruan Mingfu, he restrained himself a little.
"Yilin and I had a great chat," Bai Qingnian retorted, "I suggested going to meet her parents before, and she agreed."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Who was the person who wrote here specifically to scold her?
"Yilin is so gentle. She even cares about whether I have had a good rest...Wancheng's winter is too cold. Have you caught a cold..."
Ruan Mingfu: ...Is it possible that it's just politeness?
Seeing the light of happiness on Bai Qingnian's face when he talked about Gu Yilin...she finally understood that this little cousin of hers was a real love-brained person.
To this extent...even if Wang Baozhen came, he would have to give him a thumbs up.
"I...I'll write a letter to ask for you?"
Ruan Mingfu and Hu Wanning looked at each other, then looked at Bai Qingnian with some difficulty.
"Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."
He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, looking not much worse than the idiot at the entrance of the village. To thank Ruan Mingfu, he shoveled out the snow piled up in his yard.
"Sister-in-law, your cousin is quite interesting. Hey, is he and Yilin real?"
Hu Wanning looked at the man working outside the yard. He had a good family background and was a battalion commander. He was also good-looking. If she had a younger sister, she would not let him run away.
Ruan Mingfu: "... young people, just let them do whatever they want."
She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it and let this bastard suffer the headache!
"Mrs. Lin has been getting very close to Old Lady Cuixiang recently," Hu Wanning continued gossiping when she saw Ruan Mingfu looking over. "I heard that she introduced several people to Chunhua, and she's currently dating. Has she mentioned this to you?"
She pouted in Bai Qingnian's direction.
Ruan Mingfu was a little confused, but then she understood.
"Mrs. Cuihua has taken a fancy to my cousin?"
"Your cousin is in the army, and his conditions are among the best. Isn't it normal for him to be favored?"
The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, whether it will be successful or not is another matter, but is it illegal to go on a blind date with her?
"She didn't come to tell me?" Hu Wanning explained herself, "I saw that Cuihua was still asking about your cousin the day before yesterday. She must have known that he was dating someone, so she didn't tell you."
“That should be it.”
Ruan Mingfu didn't have any ideas.
Although her cousin is a little stupid, he is also a talented person. Just like Hu Wanning said, the problem is that others look down on Bai Qingnian.
…
Since the beginning of winter in Wancheng, heavy snow has been falling every day, sometimes even down to people's knees.
Maybe it was because it was cold outside and it was difficult to walk in the snow, so no one came to visit during this period, and the family compound was much quieter. That day, Ruan Mingfu, Xie Yanzhao and Zhang Ma got on the army's car and left.
The heavy snow had blocked the army's road leading to the outer station, and ordinary cars could not drive out at all, so the three of them had to squeeze in.
Ruan Mingfu's belly has a little curve now, but because of the thick winter clothes, you can't tell that she is pregnant. But she is more beautiful than before, and her skin is so smooth that it seems to be glowing.
Xie Yanzhao sat beside her and stretched out his hands to protect her.
The army vehicle swayed all the way to the station, and Ruan Mingfu felt like she was about to get dizzy.
Her face was pale and she leaned on Xie Yanzhao.
"Mingfu, apply some cooling oil."
Aunt Zhang immediately opened the lid and scooped a little grass-green paste to apply on her philtrum.
It's true, she felt much better after applying this stuff.
"The car is so crowded and the driving is so unstable. It's okay at other times," Zhang Ma put away her things, "but now that you're pregnant, it will only be more uncomfortable."
Ruan Mingfu sniffed her delicate nose, and a strong smell came up.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
The three of them got out of the car, and Ruan Mingfu breathed in the fresh air. Only then did she feel alive again.
It was the end of the year and there were a lot more people in the station.
Seeing the train coming, the three were about to get on the train, but were stopped.
"Cousin, cousin!"
Ruan Mingfu turned around and saw Bai Qingnian running towards her excitedly with luggage in his hands.
"cousin..."
He ran over, panting and wiping the sweat from his head.
"I want to go with you!"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Wow, that's awesome!
Last time he asked Ruan Mingfu for help, although she didn't know how to persuade him, she still dutifully sent a letter to Gu Yilin. Hearing that Gu Yilin called and scolded Bai Qingnian and talked about their affairs, he was really depressed for a while.
In the end, the bastard couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged him to the training ground and gave him a severe beating, and that was the end of it.
But judging by the looks of today...these two are not done yet!
"you..."
Just as Xie Yanzhao was about to refuse, Bai Qingnian grabbed his hand.
"Cousin, my dad has agreed, and I've already bought the tickets."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
No one would believe that this guy didn't plan it.
Looking at the ticket in his palm, it was obviously linked to their seat numbers.
I haven't given up yet.
Xie Yanzhao was silent for a while, then he said, "Let's go."
"Very good!"
Bai Qingnian was as happy as a 200-pound child.
He was afraid that Xie Yanzhao would regret it, so he quickly got into the car. When he left, he did not forget to take the luggage from Zhang Ma.
"It would be better if he gave up."
Xie Yanzhao looked at his cheerful back and shook his head.
It would be fine if the other party had that intention towards Bai Qingnian, but Gu Yilin had no such intention towards him at all. Bai Qingnian was too eager to do it, and he would only end up with a bloody head.
"Your cousin is too cruel."
How could Ruan Mingfu not know what Xie Yanzhao meant?
"I'm not cruel to you," he looked at her tenderly, "Let's go."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Is he not ruthless or is he just attracted by beauty?
Although there were many people, there were not many people on the sleeper berth. Xie Yanzhao still protected Ruan Mingfu all the way, fearing that she would be squeezed and bumped by others. When she finally came over, Zhang Ma and Bai Qingnian had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
"Mingfu, come and drink some hot water."
"Hey," Ruan Mingfu took the water, "Auntie Zhang, please sit down too."
She was very grateful to Aunt Zhang.
Not only is she a good cook, she also puts her first in everything. Ruan Mingfu thinks it's time to give her a raise.
Haishi is the second largest city in the country, with many routes opened. This train goes directly there and arrived at noon the next day. It is not as cold here as Wancheng. Bai Qingnian, a young man with a bad temper, was the first to take off his thick cotton jacket.
He looked at the bustling station and asked, "Is this the sea city?"
It is indeed a big city, comparable to the capital.
"Let's go," Xie Yanzhao carried the things and did not forget to protect the pregnant Ruan Mingfu, "After we get out, you can take a closer look."
Ruan Mingfu followed closely beside him.
"I don't know if Lao Ruan and Ms. Luan have returned."
They left a few days earlier than her, but that place was far away and it took several days just to take the train.
After leaving the station, several people were about to call a taxi, but they heard a crisp voice coming from behind them.
"Ruan Mingfu!"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Among the people she knew, only her casual best friend would call her by her full name.
"You're finally back," Gu Yilin's eyes lit up and he was proud. "I told you not to tell me, but you didn't expect that I would eavesdrop on your aunt's phone call with my mom, right?"
She was wearing a fashionable woolen coat and a scarf tied around her neck. Because it was cold, white mist appeared while she was talking.
"Yes, yes, you are the best."
After hearing this, Gu Yilin was so proud that he wanted to lift his tail up to the sky.
She was about to say a few words to discredit Ruan Mingfu, but she heard a soul-chasing voice coming from behind her.
"Yilin."
Bai Qinghua's eyes sparkled.
The way he looked without his military uniform made him look more and more like the male college students.
"Great, I finally get to see you," Bai Qingnian walked up to Gu Yilin, looking a little aggrieved, "I have a lot to say to you."
"No!"
Gu Yilin took several steps back, then ran away in front of everyone's stunned gazes.
As he ran, he left a message: "I'm not Gu Yilin, you got the wrong person!"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
If Bai Qingnian was someone who would give up on her with just one word, he wouldn't have chased her here. He looked at Gu Yilin's back and also chased after him.
"Yilin, wait for me!"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
What's this? Mentally retarded children are happier?
Xie Yanzhao looked at the two people chasing each other, and his expression was also difficult to describe.
"let's go."
The two of them tacitly did not mention the two embarrassing guys and rushed all the way to Ruan Mansion.
It was a small western-style building with a large garden in the front yard, which was filled with the original owner's childhood memories. Looking at the closed iron gate, Ruan Mingfu knew that Ruan's father and Ms. Luan had not returned yet.
But the problem now is...how are they supposed to get in without a key?
Ruan Mingfu looked towards Xie Yanzhao.
But he took the clip off Ruan Mingfu's head without any hurry. He took it and put it into the lock. After only three breaths, he heard a "click" sound.
"I didn't expect you could do this?"
Still so skilled?
Could it be that this bad man was also an expert at stealing things in the past?
"I learned this from someone during a mission."
Xie Yanzhao knew what Ruan Mingfu was thinking at a glance. He touched Ruan Mingfu's head with ill intentions and then explained.
She slapped the man's hand away and glared at him with some dissatisfaction.
"Let's go in."
Although Haishi was not as cold as Wancheng, Ruan Mingfu couldn't stand standing outside for a long time.
Although the house was a bit messy, it was obviously cleaned. The families who occupied the Ruan Mansion had no trace of life left. Walking into the hall, she could even see the photo of the family of three still hanging above the fireplace.
In the photo, Ruan Mingfu smiled shyly with shyness in her eyes, not as bold as she was.
"I'll go tidy it up."
Aunt Zhang put down her luggage and started to work, but was stopped by Xie Yanzhao.
"Let me do it," he took the rag from Zhang Ma's hand, "You must be tired after sitting on the train all day, have a good rest."
"Yes, just leave these things to him. We didn't bring you here to make you work."
Ruan Mingfu is not someone who would let herself be wronged, so she had already been sitting on the sofa.
"Okay... okay."
Mother Zhang was touched.
The room was not dirty, Xie Yanzhao just had to put things in order.
Ruan Mingfu reached out and touched the table. There was no dust on it. Looking closely, there were actually some water stains on it. No need to look, it must be the work of plastic. Gu Yilin knew that she would come back soon, and he would definitely help clean it.
The dog man was very strong and the furniture in the house was soon in order.
At this time, the two people who were playing chase came in from outside. For some reason, their cheeks were flushed, as if... they had done something bad.
Gu Yilin looked at the sky and the earth, but didn't look at Bai Qingnian.
The other party was smiling and looked more like the idiot at the village entrance.
Ruan Mingfu: ...
Judging from her keen sense of smell after being immersed in the gossip circle of the family compound in the past few months, there is definitely something going on between the two!
"Where are my aunts? They haven't come back yet?"
"No," Ruan Mingfu calculated the time, "It should be soon. It will arrive tomorrow."
"Very good!"
Speaking of Ms. Luan, Gu Yilin's eyes sparkled, as if he had met his own biological parents.
"Then my parents will treat you to a meal tomorrow, you all have to come."
Ruan Mingfu thought about it and knew what she meant.
"Let's talk about it after Ms. Luan comes back."
Gu Yilin didn't take her words to heart, since she would come tomorrow anyway.
"Okay, I'll go first then!"
Ruan Mingfu was about to grab Gu Yilin and ask about her and Bai Qingnian's situation, but she disappeared so quickly. Looking at her back, she could only swallow her questions.
The same thing will happen if I ask her tomorrow.
"Brother, I want to break off relations with you!"
Ruan Mingfu: “……???”
Bro, you are very brave.
Xie Yanzhao's gaze fell on Bai Qingnian. He raised his hand and the other party reflexively ran away.
Xie Yanzhao: “…”
He just wanted to get the rag.
Seeing that Xie Yanzhao's expression remained the same, Bai Qingnian became very suspicious.
"Brother, aren't you angry?"
"Why would I be angry?" Xie Yanzhao wiped the table until it was shiny. "Just be happy."
Bai Songnian was somewhat unwilling, so he boldly moved forward.
"Brother, are you really not angry?"
Break off relations, how can you tolerate this?
Xie Yanzhao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took the basin and went to the kitchen to get a plate of clean water without even looking at him.
Bai Qingnian: “…”
Damn it, why didn't his brother ask him why? !
At night, Bai Qingnian went to find Gu Yilin with a depressed mood. He looked at the moon in the sky with melancholy eyes, like a lone wolf from the north.
"Yilin, my brother doesn't care about me at all?"
Gu Yilin: “…”
Are you crazy? Why are you talking to her about that stinky man Xie Yanzhao?
"I said I wanted to break up with him," Bai Qingnian said aggrievedly, "Who knew he would just ignore me."
Gu Yilin nodded halfway, then opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.
"No, why do you want to break up with him?"
Bai Qingnian looked at her sadly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to call me sister-in-law?"
Gu Yilin: “…”
So...you're just going to break off relations?
Even Gu Yilin would give him a 6 for this train of thought.
She tried to endure it again and again, but still couldn't help the feeling of digging her toes into the ground.
"You...you didn't tell him it was because of me, right?"
Bai Qingnian felt even more aggrieved after hearing this.
"They all ignored me..." Is there any chance to say it?
"Great!" Gu Yilin breathed a sigh of relief. After meeting Bai Qingnian's clear eyes, he quickly restrained himself. "I mean, they must think you are talking nonsense... After all, severing ties is too hurtful."
Bai Qingnian thought about it, then nodded slowly.
"You're right," he looked at Gu Yilin reluctantly, "but you said you didn't want to call me sister-in-law."
Gu Yilin: “…”
What a fool!
Is now the time to talk about this?
If my best friend knew how she ended up breaking off the relationship, I wouldn’t know how she would laugh at her.
hateful!
Thinking of that scene, Gu Yilin gritted his teeth viciously, and looked at Bai Qingnian with unkindness in his eyes.
"Yi...Yi, Yilin, why are you looking at me like that?"
It was as if she was going to eat him.
Bai Qingnian lowered his head slightly, and two blushes appeared on his fair cheeks.
"It's okay," Gu Yilin looked at him and said, "Don't mention this kind of thing again. If your parents hear about it, they will break your legs."
He was startled and touched his leg in fear, looking at Gu Yilin with eyes full of emotion.
She cares about me, she has me in her heart!
After coming to this conclusion, Bai Qingnian felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yilin was so gentle that it could make blood drip out.
Gu Yilin glanced at the sky and said, "Shall we go see a movie?"
Standing here in the cold wind makes me feel like an idiot.
There seems to be a new movie in the theater recently, and she has always wanted to go and watch it. But she was busy with Ruan Mingfu and her group's return, so she didn't find the opportunity. This time, Bai Qingnian, this big fool, is just right to give her courage.
Bai Qingnian's eyes were as bright as light bulbs.
At this moment, his mind was full of the scene when Gu Yilin invited him to watch a movie...
If this is not the object~
Bai Qingnian followed happily.
The people who can watch movies these days are all young couples, or men and women who have just started dating. Sitting in the dim screening room with Gu Yilin sitting next to him, Bai Qingnian's heart was beating fast.
He stared at Gu Yilin, and could not ignore him even in the dim environment.
Gu Yilin's cheeks felt slightly hot, but he thought of the other person's identity.
It's like pouring a basin of ice water on red-hot iron, and the temperature quickly drops.
No!
Never agree to him!
If her best friend knew that she was dating Bai Qingnian, she would laugh at her to death. Then think about how she would have to call her best friend sister-in-law every time she saw her during the holidays... If she married Bai Qingnian and lived with Jun in the family compound...
Just thinking about it made her feel unacceptable.
Gu Yilin was frantic inside, but his voice was calm.
"Watch the movie, but don't look at me."
"oh."
Bai Qingnian agreed.
But his eyes never left Gu Yilin.
Gu Yilin: “…”
Help!
He is so clingy, she really likes him...
But he is also the cousin of my best friend.
Oh, so tangled~
After watching the movie, neither of them knew what was going on. Bai Qingnian stared at Gu Yilin for two hours, and the other party went from being shy at first to being numb later.
He looked at Gu Yilin awkwardly, "It's getting late, I'll take you home."
The cold wind gradually rose, and it felt icy cold when it blew on people. Bai Qingnian suddenly came to his senses and put his clothes on Gu Yilin.
Just after taking it off, the clothes still had body temperature, and Gu Yilin felt her whole body warm up. She tilted her head slightly and looked at him.
With such a stunning aunt like Bai Qingzhu, Bai Qingnian's appearance would certainly not be bad.
He looked more like a scholar than Xie Yanzhao, like a piece of jade that had not been polished yet. He did not look like a soldier, but more like a scholar in ancient times.
Oh no, it's a heart-pounding feeling!
Gu Yilin quickly covered his chest and looked away.
She suddenly felt reluctant to reject Bai Qingnian.
After all, she has good conditions in all aspects. According to her mother, it would be a waste for her to be with her... But Gu Yilin is such a face-conscious person. The thought of her fake best friend becoming her sister-in-law made her feel dizzy.
She would laugh at her to death!
Bai Qingnian sent Gu Yilin to an alley not far from home and was about to go in when he heard Gu Yilin speak.
"I have something to tell you."
The two of them stopped, and Bai Qingnian looked at her expectantly.
Gu Yilin suddenly felt reluctant, but... her eyes became fierce, and just as she was about to harden her heart, she was interrupted by a little hooligan who appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Yilin: “…”
Seeing the four or five little hooligans walking towards them, Bai Qingnian immediately protected her behind him.
"Little white face," the leading ruffian looked him up and down, "your grandfather is short of money recently, take out the valuables on you, otherwise..."
He narrowed his eyes, looking fierce.
The younger brother at the side said: "While our boss is so easy to talk to, tell the truth. Otherwise... I will rape and kill the woman behind you!"
The other brothers cheered, "Yes, yes, yes, be smart!"
Bai Qingnian stared at these little hooligans.
Gu Yilin's eyes were full of love, and his mind suddenly changed, revealing the sharpness of a soldier. It was also at this time that Gu Yilin truly felt that the other party was a soldier.
Before those little hooligans could utter any more harsh words, Bai Qingnian took the lead and threw a punch.
He had been in the army for so many years, and it wasn't for nothing. With just a few moves, he turned a group of unruly northern wolves into huskies.
Gu Yilin looked at Bai Qingnian, the fire in his eyes seemed enough to burn people to death.
