Ding Xiangzhi understood what Lin Yonglan said, but they were in the same brigade and saw each other every day, and there were few people with better conditions.
Ding Xiangzhi didn't want his daughter to marry someone and work like a slave. At least he wanted to know the man's background and be trustworthy.
"Do you have anyone suitable?"
Lin Yonglan heard that there was something going on, "The Women's Federation is going to hold a social gathering soon."
In fact, it is a blind date meeting. Young men and women of appropriate age get to know each other with the help of the organization. If they like each other, they can continue to date. If they don’t like each other, it’s not a big deal.
"I heard that a very outstanding military comrade is coming this time. I heard that he will hold a high position."
"There are also young men from the nearby machinery city and steel mill. Many people go there, so there must be a suitable one. I'll accompany you to take a look."
"There's no rush for this. You can discuss it with my third brother. If Jingshu wants to go, tell her to come directly to the Women's Federation to find me."
Ding Xiangzhi pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay."
At night, the couple was lying in bed, and Ding Xiangzhi talked about this incident with a tone full of sighs.
"Jingshu was just born, but now she's married. If possible, I'd rather keep her at home."
But she also understood that if a situation like Director Cai happened again, they would not be able to protect their daughter with just the strength of the couple.
Lin Yongkang, the old father, couldn't accept it even more. "How about calling the boss tomorrow and asking?"
Originally, they wanted to tell their boss, Director Cai, about the matter and ask him for some advice. However, before they could even make the call, Director Cai was reported.
The couple discussed it and went to bed quickly.
Early the next morning, Ding Xiangzhi went to the brigade headquarters and called his son who was far away on the island.
When Lin Shan heard his sister was being bullied, he slammed the table in anger and said, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
If anything happens to his sister, he will never let Cai and Lin Qiaoqiao go.
He is six years older than his sister. He was the first person to hold his sister when she was born. Looking at the little ball of flesh in the cradle, he swore in his heart that he would take good care of his sister and would never let her be bullied.
Ding Xiangzhi knew that they had a good relationship as siblings, and after some comfort, Lin Shan's anger subsided a little.
"Where is the second brother?" Lin Shan asked.
"He went out to do some transportation and hasn't come back yet."
The second son has a bad temper. If he knew that his daughter was being bullied, he would definitely beat the person up.
"Luckily, God has mercy on us. The man surnamed Cai was arrested. After what happened, your father and I are very scared. We want to find a good family for Jingshu. What do you think?"
Lin Shan didn't think much of it. "My sister is still young, there's no need to rush this matter."
In his eyes, no one is worthy of his sister.
The mother and son talked about something else, and the time was almost up.
Ding Xiangzhi finally reminded him, "You're almost thirty, so settle down soon. Your father and I are hoping to have children soon. Erniu is the same age as you and already has two children."
Lin Shan: ...
I didn't expect that the words he used to insult others would end up being insulted by him.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shan was still angry. He changed his clothes and prepared to run a few laps at the training ground.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Passing by Gu Chengze's office, I found his door open.
Gu Chengze was processing documents. When he heard his voice, he glanced up, then quickly lowered his head. "The car is out of gas, so we can't leave until later. But why do you look so unhappy? Who has offended you again?"
Lin Shan was just worried about having no place to vent his anger, so he told him everything like pouring beans.
"If I were to meet this damn old man, I would definitely blow his head off."
Gu Chengze pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is your hometown in Nanshi?"
"Yeah, why are you asking that?"
Gu Chengze shrugged, "I just happened to be going there."
"What are you going to do? A mission or a blind date?"
He had sharp ears and heard the word "blind date" when he was leaving the commander's office.
Gu Chengze raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Do you want help?"
"want!"
It would be a waste not to embrace the thigh that comes to your door. With Gu Chengze's help, that old man has no chance of getting out.
The guard at the door reminded them that they could leave, but Gu Chengze had already packed his things.
Lin Shan patted his shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother. Be careful on the road. I'll treat you to dinner when I come back."
Gu Chengze nodded.

"Mom, my second brother and I are leaving."
After the rain, the sky cleared up and many mushrooms appeared on the mountain. The villagers went up the mountain in groups of three or five to look for mushrooms. Lin Jingshu was jealous and also wanted to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms.
It is June now and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After the wheat harvest, there is less work to do in the fields and we just have to wait for the peanuts to be harvested.
There is a big river at the entrance of Shuimogou Village, running through the east and west, and it is backed by mountains. It can be said that it has the best time and location.
Although life is much better now than during the famine years, we still rely on work points to earn food.
The more you earn, the more you eat; the less you earn, the less you eat.
If you have many children at home and few able-bodied people, it's hard to make ends meet even if you tighten your belt.
In order to fill their stomachs, people turned their attention to the mountains where resources were abundant.
No matter whether children are big or small, they can hardly resist the temptation of mushrooms in this season.
Lin Jingshu looked at everyone going up the mountain with envy. She hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly, but she didn't agree until Lin Mu came back.
Lin Jingshu boasted, "I will definitely fill up the backpack today!"
Ding Xiangzhi looked at her daughter's excitement and didn't know what was going on. Ever since her daughter had a serious illness, she seemed to look a lot more lively and her personality became more likable.
In the past, apart from going to the county town to buy things, no one would be willing to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms under the scorching sun.
To be honest, the daughter inherited the good looks of her and her husband. She has dark and shiny eyes, fair skin with a rosy glow, and shiny black hair. I wonder how many young girls and wives are envious of her.
There are few girls prettier than their daughter in the surrounding area.
Ding Xiangzhi couldn't help but feel more worried, but seeing his daughter's excitement, he didn't say the word of refusal after all.
"Second brother, don't just play by yourself. Watch your sister carefully. Remember not to go into the mountains and come back before dark."
The terrain on the mountain is complex. I heard that there were tigers in the mountain in the early years. Even experienced hunters who have been hunting for many years could not guarantee their safety, let alone children who are still wet behind the ears.
Besides, my daughter is not very pretty. If something happens to her, she will die.
Ding Xiangzhi was most afraid of such things. Every time her daughter went out, she would follow her and repeat it several times.
Lin Mu jumped three feet high with joy after receiving the agreement. He turned around and smiled happily at his mother, "Don't worry, mother. We will definitely not run around."
Lin Jingshu's voice echoed with the same assurance, "Mom, I know."
The daughter's voice was soft and sweet. Ding Xiangzhi looked outside and saw only the figure of her daughter running hurriedly with a bamboo basket.
Then he saw the second son following closely behind his daughter, then he looked away and continued with his own work.
