Chapter 211 Are you married? Do you have a child?
The front-line battlefield is an unprecedented experience for a man.
At first glance, Lin Yulan did not recognize that this man was Liang Guangming, with whom she grew up.
I vaguely thought it was a stranger.
Especially Liang Guangming's temperament.
He is no longer the youth with a sense of maturity, but a real soldier with integrity and awe-inspiring manner.
"bright……"
Brother Guangming...
When she was little, Lin Yulan could call out "brother" over and over again, but now that the word was on the tip of her tongue, she didn't know why she couldn't say it out loud.
Liang Guangming turned and looked at Lin Yulan. His dark eyes first fell on her face and then on her hand.
There were two little kids with runny noses hiding behind Lin Yulan, looking at Liang Guangming timidly, and they didn't dare to get close to him because of the military uniform he was wearing.
Liang Guangming had just returned from the front line, and there was an imperceptible murderous aura about him.
It was especially noticeable when he frowned deeply.
He frowned, looked at the two children, and asked Lin Yulan in a low voice.
"Are you married?"
Even have a child?
Lin Yulan was stunned for a moment and explained hurriedly.
"No, no, I'm not married yet. These two children are students from the kindergarten where I work. I brought them home temporarily to take care of them. They are not... my children."
After listening to this, Liang Guangming nodded.
His face still had a stern expression of deep thought and frown, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Haven't seen you for six years.
From an eighteen-year-old boy to a twenty-four-year-old adult.
The familiarity of youth gradually disappears during the time we are apart, and even when we meet again it is hard to find the same intimacy as before.
But Lin Yulan was still happy to see Liang Guangming again.
"Brother Guangming, it's great to see you back."
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly.
Lin Yulan and Liang Guangming chatted for a few words and then parted.
She glanced at the house next door before entering the house.
Qin Shu and his grandfather once lived in that house, but now someone else lives there.
Liang Guangming has returned, but Qin Shu is nowhere to be found.
This became a deep sigh in Lin Yulan's heart.
…
Lin Yulan was indeed not married, but at the age of 24, it was considered late to marry in that era.
It is impossible for Mr. and Mrs. Lin not to be anxious.
They started arranging blind dates for Lin Yulan when she was 20 years old.
By then, Lin Yulan had a stable job at the kindergarten and had grown from a young girl into an adult. It was time for her to get married, have children, and move on to the next stage of her life.
Since she was little, Lin Yulan has always been the child that her parents have least to worry about.
When she first heard about the blind date being arranged, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly accepted it out of surprise.
Dating, falling in love, getting married, and having children.
This is Lin Yulan's life trajectory, which has been planned from the very beginning.
Lin Yulan's first blind date was with a young officer from the same military district as Lin's father.
Whether it was appearance or temperament, it was all carefully selected by Lin's father and mother. They tried their best to hope that Lin Yulan would have a smooth life in the future.
Moreover, they are from the same military district. After the couple gets married, they may be able to live near their parents.
This is the best arrangement for daily interactions and mutual care.
Lin Yulan also thought that the young officer was very good.
He was of the right age, had a decent appearance, and was not as rude as other soldiers. He was always polite to her, a rare gentlemanly demeanor in that era.
but--
When Lin Yulan first met the young military officer on a blind date, she thought of Liang Guangming.
At that time, Liang Guangming had been gone for two years, and Qin Shu had also been gone for a long time.
Lin Yulan's life became unusually peaceful.
She had long thought that she had forgotten that sad and secret first love.
Liang Guangming is just the past.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
The young officer actually didn't look like Liang Guangming, but his military uniform, his habitual movements, and the military life he mentioned during the conversation...all of these reminded Lin Yulan of Liang Guangming.
After the first blind date, the two of them got in touch step by step.
For young military officers, Lin Yulan is definitely the best candidate for marriage.
She is gentle and virtuous, friendly and polite to both her family and children; she has an outstanding family background and will be a boost to the man's career.
But in contact again and again.
The feeling they had when they were together could only be described as "plain as water".
The two watched movies together, went for an outing outside the city together, and ate at a small restaurant together.
Lin Yulan is always so gentle. She would remind the young officers to wear appropriate shoes and ease the atmosphere when they were too nervous to know what to say.
Such a girl seems to be the embodiment of all that is good.
But her politeness and gentleness were just right.
The young officer didn't know what Lin Yulan liked, whether she was happy or not, and she seemed to have no preference even when it came to eating.
Only when he mentioned something about troop training would Lin Yulan listen particularly carefully and her eyes would light up.
Young officers are not dull people.
He finally said to Lin's father, "She is too good, I am not worthy of her."
Lin Yulan's first blind date ended in failure.
Lin Yulan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
After the first blind date, there will be a second, a third...
Lin Yulan never refused the arrangements made by Lin's father and mother.
But again and again, she looked for the shadow of Liang Guangming in those blind date candidates.
And when she woke up in the middle of the night, she saw Qin Shu and Liang Guangming standing on the same military vehicle again.
She originally thought that the past relationship had become a demon that tormented her.
The body that had gradually recovered would start to get sick again from time to time.
Lin Yulan wanted to get married. Maybe after getting married, she would really forget Liang Guangming.
But she also knew that such avoidance was shameful and unfair to her future husband.
finally……
All of Lin Yulan's blind dates ended in failure.
Even Lin's father and mother were puzzled. Why couldn't their perfect daughter get married?
A week after Liang Guangming returned.
When Lin Yulan got home from get off work, she saw that her parents, who usually worked in the military camp, had returned home early.
Not only Lin's father and mother were there, but also the tall and mighty General Liang was sitting in the living room.
They talked loudly about Liang Guangming's achievements on the front line, praising him as the best among this generation of young people and saying that a good father will have a good son.
After Lin Yulan appeared, the lively atmosphere was not affected at all, but became even more lively.
Mother Lin came over with a smile on her face and grabbed Lin Yulan's hand.
He dragged her to the front of Commander Liang.
Mother Lin said, "Yulan, hurry up and call someone. Your uncle Liang is here to see you this time. You have watched our Yulan grow up since she was a child. You must know her personality. She has only one problem. I didn't take good care of her when she was a child. She got sick and became weak. But she has gotten better in recent years. Now she is a teacher in a kindergarten. Those children like our Yulan the most..."
