Chapter 268 It's Love
The telegram did not contain the mission content, but reminded that this time we had to go overseas. In this era, all overseas missions are full of crises and could cost lives at any time.
Lu Shaotang handed the telegram to the communicator and asked him to inform Chen Yanming and the other four team members.
After the communicator turned and left, he subconsciously looked up at the balcony on the third floor and met Lin Shu's clear eyes. His eyes paused for a moment, and he walked upstairs.
Lin Shu was a little flustered for no reason, and she suddenly remembered a plot in the original plot.
With the help of the male protagonist, Xu Xiaoyou was able to concentrate on her studies, and later she was admitted to the Capital University, the leading university in China.
After entering university, she was favored by her tutor because of her intelligence and hard work, and she was accepted as his disciple.
Her tutor and a group of like-minded researchers set up a research institute to study confidential projects. After success, they can completely get rid of the shackles of Western countries in the field and no longer be strangled.
They overcame one difficulty after another and achieved one result after another, but they were never proud or eager to announce it to the world. Instead, they held their breath and waited until they were completely successful before making it public.
Xu Xiaoyou has been working part-time to save money and did not go home. In order to make money, she stayed in school on New Year's Eve.
When the tutor found out, he invited her to go home for the New Year, but Xu Xiaoyou found that the tutor and several friends held a memorial ceremony on New Year's Eve.
People who don't drink alcohol will drink a few glasses that night and sit for half a day.
Later, Xu Xiaoyou couldn't help asking the instructor who they were commemorating.
The instructor told her a story.
When the instructor was a child, she went abroad with her parents to avoid chaos. Her parents always taught her that the motherland is their roots and she should serve her motherland as long as she has the opportunity.
Later, she met several like-minded friends in the same field. They were guided by the deeds of the predecessors who returned to the country and agreed to return to the country together to contribute their own strength.
As a result, the local government got the news and took a series of measures to isolate, put them under house arrest and even imprison them.
The local government did not want to repeat the past 20 years ago.
They tried every possible way and used all their connections. After being isolated for a year, they sent a distress signal to their distant motherland through international friends.
Soon, the motherland sent the most elite agents to rescue them by plane and ferry.
In the end, they returned to their motherland, but many of their compatriots who rescued them died in a foreign country. Some people even used their bodies to block guns for them.
The compatriots who stayed in a foreign country because of their rescue could not have an identity or a name. After death, they would be illegal immigrants or illegal laborers, nameless and unable to see the light of day. They
returned to their motherland safely because their lives were exchanged for their own. No matter what achievements they made, they would have half the glory of those compatriots. They could not be truly at peace without complete success.
Fortunately, they finally succeeded and shocked the world!
They proved that the sacrifice of their compatriots was not in vain and they were worth it.
Does this plot correspond to this moment?
Is the order that Lu Shaotang and the others received... this?
Lin Shu's heart suddenly tightened.
She dropped the spoon and walked quickly to the stairs. Lu Shaotang walked very fast and he came up as soon as she reached the stairs.
She moved her lips, but couldn't say anything. She just threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Lu Shaotang instantly understood that she was sensitive to something and she was too smart. He hugged her back tightly and wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end.
He didn't know whether the mission would be successful or whether he could return soon.
In the past, the farthest they had ever been on a mission was around their homeland, but this time they had to travel across the ocean, which meant that they had no backing or comrades to support them, and they could only go deep into the enemy territory alone.
And there was also a hidden instruction for such a mission: only success and no failure, and no matter the cost, success was the best choice.
Lin Shu gently rubbed him in her arms and whispered, "I'll go pack your luggage for you."
Lin Shu didn't know where he was going, or how long he would be gone, so she packed her luggage aimlessly. Should I bring
toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, underwear, socks, sweaters, trousers, shirts...
sweaters and trousers?
After the Chinese New Year and the beginning of spring, he won't be able to wear cotton clothes.
Should I bring bedding?
If they have to camp outdoors, they need to bring bedding, right?
What about tableware and cooking utensils?
Will he be in danger this time?
Will it be as dangerous as when she first came here?
At first, she was glad to be a widow, without a man to worry about, and with a baby, she was content.
But now she felt heartbroken, and felt sorry for the dangers he encountered and the sufferings he had suffered.
In her subconscious, there was always a worry. The happier she was, the more afraid she was. Would this person who was originally going to sacrifice himself really not come back one day in the future?
He will definitely come back, right?
Lu Shaotang lowered his eyes and looked at her standing in front of the closet, as if she didn't know what to take. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a faint flash of water.
His heart suddenly ached, and he stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.
Lin Shu sniffed and whispered, "Lu Shaotang, you will come back, right?"
He lowered his head and kissed her wet eyes and soft lips, "Yes."
At this moment, even iron could be softened.
In the past, he always left cleanly and without dragging his feet, because he had no worries. He had brothers and sisters, and he knew they would take good care of his parents.
But now he has someone to worry about, and she is tightly wrapped around him, making him feel sweet and reluctant at the same time.
She is so smart that she can sense something without him saying anything.
So he doesn't need to lie to her and say "It's nothing, just a simple business trip", because she won't believe it even if he says it.
There were hurried footsteps outside. It was Chen Yanming who came back.
He let go of the person in his arms, gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, and whispered, "Is your porridge mushy?"
Lin Shu cried out, pushed him aside and ran out, almost bumping into Chen Yanming.
Chen Yanming caught a glimpse of the light red at the corners of her eyes. What else didn't he understand?
He turned around to go back to the room to pack his luggage, but was stopped by Lu Shaotang.
Lu Shaotang: "Let's say goodbye."
His wedding was in a week, and he had to give an explanation before leaving.
Chen Yanming knew the rules and knew his limits, so he naturally wouldn't leak anything.
Chen Yanming: "Then please help me pack my luggage." After saying that, he turned around and ran downstairs.
When Lu Shaotang was packing Chen Yanming's luggage, Lin Shu suddenly thought of something. She turned around and went back to the room to look for her notebook. She found one of the pages and quickly wrote a line of words on it, then tore it off, folded it up, and stuffed it into the pocket of Lu Shaotang's military uniform.
He will definitely wear this dress.
She packed her bag, and Lu Shaotang also came over with Chen Yanming.
Lin Shu: "Have some breakfast."
No matter how urgent it is, you can't set out on an empty stomach.
She wanted to give him a sip of the eight-treasure porridge that carries the meaning of blessing, but Lu Shaotang didn't have time to drink the porridge, so he only put a few steamed buns and dumplings in his rice bag.
Lin Shu: "Panpan and Tiantian..."
Lu Shaotang: "I'll tell them on the way."
He often goes on business trips, they are used to it.
Lin Shu wanted him to eat the steamed buns at home, at least he could drink some hot water, but he just wanted to look at her a few more times, and the steamed buns could be eaten on the way.
Lu Shaotang raised his hand and touched her cheek, rubbing it gently with his thumb, "It's cold outside, don't go out."
Lin Shu leaned her cheek against his broad and warm palm and smiled at him, wanting to leave him the best look, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."
Lu Shaotang stared at her deeply, then let go, picked up his bag, turned around and strode away.
Lin Shu looked at his tall back disappearing at the stairs, her heart suddenly ached, and she ran after him, "Lu Shaotang!"
She ran downstairs at an unprecedented speed.
Lu Shaotang, who had just walked down the stairs, looked back at her.
Lin Shu rushed up, tiptoed, hooked his neck and kissed him. She kissed very hard, and both of their teeth and lips were a little painful.
He opened his mouth and responded to her enthusiastically, his breathing rising and falling.
Lin Shu let go of him, turned around and ran upstairs again, "I'll wait for you at home."
Lu Shaotang watched her figure disappear at the stairs, stood for a moment, turned around and strode away.
Lin Shu rushed upstairs, hiding on the balcony and secretly watched him.
When he was about to leave the hospital, he paused, as if he wanted to look back, but finally left quickly with firm steps.
Lin Shu leaned on the railing and looked at his receding back: Lu Shaotang is so handsome, his back is so charming.
Lin Shu was not idle after Lu Shaotang left. She didn't want to let herself have wild thoughts, and she didn't want to show any sadness.
She firmly believed that this time was just like any other time, he was just on a business trip, and he would be back in a month or two after completing the mission.
She pinched her cheeks, smiled at the basin, and then continued to stir the porridge base, so that the porridge would be thicker.
It was about time, and the eldest sister and the children should come back for dinner.
Lu Shaotang went forward with a dark green bag, and turned to the training ground to say hello to the children.
Tiantian and Lili were doing leg presses there, Panpan and Guan Ze were competing in pole climbing, and Lu Ping, Lu An, Hou Bo and others were learning wrestling in the sand pit over there.
It was freezing cold, but the training ground was steaming hot.
Panpan climbed high, turned his head to show off to Guan Ze, and saw Lu Shaotang.
He immediately waved and shouted loudly: "Dad!"
Lu Shaotang raised his hand to signal them.
He raised his bag, pointed, and told the children that he was going on a business trip.
Panpan immediately slid down, calling Tiantian and ran towards him. Panpan
ran breathlessly, "Dad, you are going on a business trip too?"
When Chen Yanming drove to find Zhan Qiuran, he turned here and greeted the children. He smiled and told the children that goddaddy was going on a business trip as usual, and smiled and stroked their heads as usual. He did not show any special reluctance, nor did he say that Lu Shaotang would go, let alone say that he would be away for a long time. The children took it for granted
, thinking that goddaddy was just going on a business trip and would be back in two or three days. After all, he was getting married in a few days.
Tiantian's hair was crooked from running so much and her forehead was sweaty.
Lu Shaotang raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face and reminded her, "Remember to wipe the sweat off after exercise to avoid catching a cold."
The two agreed with a smile.
They were used to their father's business trips and didn't ask where he was going or how many days he was going because they didn't know how many days he was going. Sometimes he was away for two or three days, sometimes for a week, or even ten days or half a month.
But my godfather is getting married, so he has to come back early.
They reminded him, "My godfather is getting married, so you have to come back early, right?"
Lu Shaotang raised his hand and touched the two children's heads, "Your mother has cooked the eight-treasure porridge, let's go back and have dinner."
The two agreed.
Panpan said, "Don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of Mom and Tiantian."
Tiantian pouted, "I don't want you to take care of me. I can take care of Mom too."
Lu Shaotang smiled, waved, and turned to go to the unit.
Four team members were already on standby.
Lu Shaotang unlocked the drawer and took out the suicide note he had prepared.
Before each dangerous mission, they would prepare a suicide note and hand it over to the leader. If they came back alive, they would take the suicide note back themselves. If there was an accident, the suicide note would be handed over to their family.
His suicide note used to be very simple. Three years ago, he escaped from death and prepared a new suicide note before going on another dangerous mission.
He put the envelope in his left chest pocket and signaled the four to set off.
Nie Fei: "Captain, deputy captain..."
Lu Shaotang: "We'll pick him up on the way."
They were going to take a helicopter from the provincial military region.
The jeep drove away from the compound, and the driver drove a little fast to save time.
Lu Shaotang: "Just drive at your normal speed."
Give Chen Yanming two more minutes.
Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran were waiting by the roadside for Lu Shaotang to pick him up.
Zhan Qiuran put one hand in the pocket of her cotton coat and the other in Chen Yanming's pocket, and he reached in and held her hand.
She exhaled a breath of white air, "Then can you come back in time for the New Year?"
Chen Yanming: "We'll try our best."
Zhan Qiuran hesitated. Since the two of them started dating, Chen Yanming would tell her every time he went on a business trip. If he didn't have time, he would call her, and if he had time, he would come over for dinner and sit down.
Today... He came over early in the morning to tell her, but he didn't have time to eat - this must be an emergency mission, right?
Is it dangerous?
She frowned and said tentatively: "How about... let's go get the certificate first. I said earlier that we could get the certificate first, but you insisted on waiting until the wedding day."
Chen Yanming subconsciously held her hand tightly, "I'm not..."
Is he afraid that he can't help it? After getting the certificate, they will be a legal couple, and he definitely won't be able to help it, but he also wants to save such a beautiful and important moment for the wedding day.
Zhan Qiuran pulled him, "Let's go, it'll be quick to get the marriage certificate."
Chen Yanming tilted his head and smiled at her, deliberately saying, "Why are you so impatient? Girls should be more reserved."
Zhan Qiuran raised her foot and kicked him lightly, saying, "I was talking about getting the marriage certificate, not anything else."
Chen Yanming: "I didn't say anything else either, what are you thinking about?"
Zhan Qiuran laughed and lowered her head to bump into his chest, "Chen Yanming, why are you so poor?"
Chen Yanming was pushed against the car by her, so he raised his hand to support her.
Zhan Qiuran lay in his arms and refused to get up.
Chen Yanming warned in a low voice: "Be careful that your colleagues see you and laugh at you later."
Zhan Qiuran leaned on his arms, her cheeks flushed, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at. We are going to get married, not to be hooligans."
Chen Yanming couldn't help it, he opened his arms and hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed the tip of her ear that was exposed from her scarf.
Zhan Qiuran cried out and buried her head even lower.
Chen Yanming laughed at her.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes were gentle and affectionate.
My dear girl, if I can't come back to marry you, I hope you will be sad for a few days and forget me, and then find someone who can accompany you every day to marry and live with you.
In the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Shaotang's jeep coming, so he straightened Zhan Qiuran.
Zhan Qiuran realized something and turned her head to the left. Sure enough, Lu Shaotang and the others were coming. She stood up straight with a red face.
Lu Shaotang did not get out of the car, but just greeted Zhan Qiuran from the window.
Zhan Qiuran also waved to him.
When Lu Shaotang's car passed by, Chen Yanming followed behind and waved to Zhan Qiuran from the window, "Go back!"
Zhan Qiuran stood on the side of the road and kept waving at him.
Chen Yanming saw her figure in the rearview mirror and smiled.
Lu Shaotang's car in front sped up to twice as fast as before, and Chen Yanming hurried to catch up.
When they arrived at the provincial military compound, they verified their identities at the gate and drove directly to the helicopter take-off point.
After getting off the car, several team members approached Chen Yanming with a wicked smile. One of them leaned on Chen Yanming's shoulder with his head down, but he was too tall to raise his chest. Another one teased him in a strange voice: "Captain, give me a hug."
Chen Yanming pinched the team member's neck and said, "If you have the guts, go and hug Old Lu. What do a bunch of bachelors know?"
Up to now, these four were the only bachelors in their team. No matter how hard the organization or the Women's Federation tried, they couldn't find a partner for them. The
main character is a person who doesn't like oil and salt.
Soon the head of the military region came over, and several people immediately lined up and were restrained.
Lu Shaotang made a handover with the head, checked the documents and shook hands and said goodbye.
The head raised his hand and saluted them: "Comrades, take care!"
The six people saluted in unison.
Lu Shaotang: "Board the plane." The north wind was hunting, the blood was boiling ,
and the good man left his hometown to fight for the country. Except for Lin Shu, Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming's business trip did not cause any impact on others. After all, everyone was used to the two of them going on missions from time to time. Sometimes they were eating, and they left when a phone call came. Sometimes it was common not to see them for ten days or half a month. Anyway, they will be back after a while. At noon, when eating, Panpan and Tiantian worried about their godfather, "Oh, if we had known earlier, we would have held a wedding for our godfather and godmother earlier." Why must it be in the last month? Wouldn't the winter solstice month be better? October is also fine, it's not cold then. If godfather doesn't come back on the 15th day of the 11th lunar month, the wedding can't be held on time. Will godmother be angry? If godmother is generous and not angry, will grandpa and grandma of the Zhan family be angry? They have seen many people in the countryside who become enemies after failed marriages. In order to apologize for godfather and please godmother and grandpa and grandma of the Zhan family, they teamed up with Hou Wei and Hou Ying to prepare gifts of apology. They were worried about what gifts to prepare. They definitely didn't want money, and clothes were useless. Finally, Hou Ying said that they could make a bunch of beautiful artificial flowers and buy a vase for grandma Zhan to match it. It would also look good during the New Year. Tiantian: "Draw another beautiful card and write a poem on it." Panpan and Hou Wei also thought it was feasible. They started to prepare. Regarding the postponement of Chen Yanming's wedding, Lin Shu naturally couldn't wait for the children to tell the Zhan family, and couldn't just let Zhan Qiuran tell her parents. Chen Yanming also had to give them an explanation. As a relative of Chen Yanming, Lin Shu naturally had to go to the Zhan family. She estimated that she would go to the Zhan family with a generous gift when she got off work. She happened to meet Zhan Qiuran downstairs.
Zhan Qiuran didn't want to talk about this topic with her parents on the phone, so she came back as soon as she got off work.
Seeing Lin Shu coming over, Zhan Qiuran immediately took her hand affectionately, took the bag from Lin Shu and carried it, "Why didn't you bring Tiantian and Panpan?"
Lin Shu smiled and said, "My driving skills are OK when I ride alone, but it's difficult to bring others."
Zhan Qiuran smiled, took her hand and went upstairs, without talking about the topic of men's business trips.
Zhan Qiuran also worked as a military doctor in the army, and knew about discipline and confidentiality. Since Chen Yanming didn't say a word, she didn't mention it either.
Anyway, she and Lin Shu have a lot of topics to talk about. In the past, when they were together, they mostly talked about work, life, children and other topics, and rarely talked about men.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhan were very surprised to see their daughter and Lin Shu coming together, and quickly invited them into the house, "Jia Li, your sister and sister Xiao Lin are here, quickly pour them some hot water to warm it up."
Mr. Zhan was wearing an apron with the word "Worker" printed on it and was cooking dinner.
Zhan Jiali ran out of her room, "Sister, Xiaolin, I will move to your place in two days when the winter vacation starts. Is that ok? I can also add some popularity to your new house."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome. Do you want to go to the countryside with me for a few days during the winter vacation?"
Zhan Jiali immediately agreed, "Mom, Xiaolin invited me, I have to go!"
Mother Zhan smiled and said, "You can be wild, I can't control you, just know to go home."
Zhan Jiali happily hugged Lin Shu and shook her, "It's great that my sister found this target, and brought me a group of good relatives and friends, hehe."
Mother Zhan and father Zhan also laughed. Who wouldn't say that many people didn't marry well, and finally made the relationship worse and worse.
Mother Zhan asked father Zhan to cook quickly, and she chatted with Lin Shu and the lady.
Zhan Qiuran wanted to talk to her parents, but Lin Shu held her hand and signaled that they should talk after dinner.
Everyone had just got off work and was tired and hungry, so it was not suitable to talk about serious things.
If you want to talk about serious matters, you must eat and drink enough.
It takes energy to digest negative emotions.
Zhan Jiali sat next to her and helped Zhan's father peel garlic, while asking Lin Shu what Lu Ping and the others were doing.
Lin Shu: "Just what you know, exercise in the morning, go to school, go home in the evening to do homework, read books, and help with housework."
Even if they want to go to the amusement park, cinema, or Workers' Cultural Palace, they don't go alone, basically they invite everyone to go together.
Nine out of ten times, Zhan Jiali also goes.
Zhan Jiali whispered to Lin Shu: "Xiao Lin, does Lu Ping have a girlfriend?"
Zhan's mother slapped her on the back, "You girl, what are you talking about? You are so shameless."
Lin Shu laughed, "Impossible, Lu Ping never hides anything from us."
Zhan Jiali: "I see many people writing love letters to him."
Lin Shu: "Ah? Really?"
Junior high school students at that time were not so open, right? It's not modern times?
But to be honest, Lu Ping has the gentleness and easy-going nature of Big Brother Lu. His pair of black eyes are particularly sincere and focused when he looks at people. He doesn't put pressure on people and is very popular. Even though his appearance is not as outstanding as Panpan, he is very popular, and even more popular with the opposite sex.
Mother Zhan scolded her daughter several times but failed to stop her. The daughter was not afraid of her at all.
Zhan Jiali said mysteriously, "I have a classmate who is very pretty and good at studying. She always blushes when she looks at Lu Ping. She must like Lu Ping. I think I can introduce them to each other."
Mother Zhan: "How can your classmate always look at Lu Ping? Do you always bring your classmates to play together?"
Zhan Jiali: "No, we just watched a few movies together and went to the bookstore."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lu Ping is still young. You have to consider this after he is 20."
This is not the past. The future of children is a repetition of their fathers without any novelty or change. They get engaged at the age of 16 or 17, and get married and have children at the age of 17 or 18.
Lu Ping's future has infinite possibilities.
Mother Zhan asked her daughter to go to the kitchen to help her father. She talked to Lin Shu about the furniture factory and showed her the plan.
Lin Shu made several pertinent suggestions, which Mother Zhan thought were very good and immediately adopted.
Mother Zhan: "Xiao Lin, you are really a treasure. You can do everything."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Auntie, you are really good at exaggerating. I only know this little bit."
Children who are raised in modern civilization and have modern ideas as a foundation, most of them can do some music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Wouldn't they be conspicuous in this era of cultural poverty?
In fact, among her classmates, this is standard. Which city child doesn't have special skills? Painting and singing are basic skills, because the threshold is relatively low. Cello, violin, guzheng, folk dance, etc. are dazzling.
Because of Lin Shu's arrival, Dad Zhan fried another leek egg, and a pot of braised pork, dried shrimps, cabbage and vermicelli, and then salted duck eggs, pickles, and homemade sauce.
He took out a bottle of meat sauce from the kitchen, handed it to Lin Shu like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, this is the meat sauce I learned from you, you can taste my cooking skills."
Mom Zhan: "It tastes okay, but it's not as strong as Xiao Lin's."
Lin Shu took the steamed bun and tasted it, nodded and said: "Uncle cooked it very well. There is no absolute answer to cooking. Different people cook different tastes. This is their unique taste. Everyone always says that they miss the taste of mom's rice, it will never taste the same."
Dad Zhan was very happy and asked Mom Zhan to drink two cups of wine.
Mother Zhan went to get the bottle of Moutai that she hadn't finished before.
Zhan Qiuran: "I'll have two cups too."
Both Zhan's father and mother looked at her. Their daughter was a surgeon and was afraid that alcohol would affect her nerves and judgment, so she seldom drank.
Zhan Qiuran: "Oh, it's okay to drink less. It's not like alcoholism will damage your nerves and brain."
Lin Shu couldn't drink much. Lu Shaotang usually didn't let her drink too much during dinner parties. Everyone knew it, so tonight they just stopped at the
right amount. After tasting the Moutai of this era and eating and drinking to their heart's content, everyone stopped eating and chatting casually.
Mother Zhan knew that Lin Shu must have something to do this time, but when she first entered the house, she was so happy that she didn't have time to ask.
She thought it must be a big deal. If it was a small matter, she could just talk over the phone. It was definitely not a loan. The Lu family was not short of money.
Could it be that the furniture factory was not doing well? Or could they ask her for help?
If you need help, you don't have to be so formal. Just say it on the phone or let Qiu Ran say it.
Thinking of this, Mother Zhan became nervous.
Lin Shu took a sip of water and then spoke to Father and Mother Zhan.
But Zhan Qiu Ran rushed to say, "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."
Everyone looked at her, "Girl, you tell me."
Zhan Qiu Ran: "Well, wasn't the wedding originally scheduled for the fifteenth day of the last month? I think it's too cold in winter, how about we change it to March next year? It's the most suitable time to get married when spring is in full bloom."
Mother Zhan smiled and said, "Child, can you change your marriage casually? Mom has already told everyone."
If the wedding date was changed simply because of fear of the cold, she would definitely not agree. This is just a whim of the girl and it doesn't count.
Zhan Qiu Ran licked her lips, the remaining wine was a bit spicy.
Lin Shu went on, "Aunt, Uncle, it's like this. Chen Yanming and Lu Shaotang are on a business trip. The place they're going to this time is a bit far and the trip will take a long time, so they may not be able to make it in time for the wedding."
Zhan's father: "They are not young anymore and they love each other. They have been together for so long, so it's no big deal for them to get married sooner or later. I think we should hold the wedding as usual. We can have a banquet to entertain relatives and friends, and Qiu Ran can live in the new house, and she can live in the dormitory later. What do you think?"
Zhan's mother hesitated, "With Yanming not here, the wedding will be missing something."
Zhan's father felt that Chen Yanming and the young lady had been together for so long, and as a man who understood men, he felt that they must have done that a long time ago, so the wedding was just a supplementary ceremony.
Chen Yanming was on official business, and he didn't change his mind. Even if he didn't show up at the wedding, people wouldn't gossip about it, so there was no need to delay the wedding because of a business trip.
Zhan Qiuran's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Zhan's father, "Dad, you are so open-minded!"
Zhan Jiali looked at this and that, and finally stared at Lin Shu and said, "Sister Xiaolin, is my brother-in-law in danger?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly sank.
Both Zhan's father and mother looked serious.
Zhan's father immediately bit the tip of his tongue. Although he admired Chen Yanming, if there was really a danger, then he... of course didn't like his daughter to marry him directly.
Lin Shu said hurriedly, "No, no, they have gone out to perform tasks more than once or twice, just a little further away."
Zhan Qiuran turned his head to look at his younger sister and pinched her nose, "Don't talk nonsense when you go out."
Zhan Jiali: "I'm not stupid!"
Zhan Qiuran said to Zhan's father and mother, "Okay, don't think too much. The wedding will be postponed. Just tell the relatives. At most, we will invite guests for three days at the wedding and give them enough to eat." Zhan's mother said
angrily, "Do they want to have a meal?"
Seeing that Zhan's mother and father accepted it well and didn't make a fuss, Lin Shu was also very grateful.
Most people are not so easy to talk to.
After chatting for a few more words, she stood up and said goodbye.
Mother Zhan immediately said, "It's getting dark, Old Zhan, you ride your bike to take Xiao Lin to school."
Although the public security is strict at this time, and there are red armbands patrolling at night, there are many unemployed vagrants at the end of the year, and many educated youths who have returned from the countryside. Young men are wandering around in the city, and the public security is much worse than before.
Lin Shu did not refuse, "Please, Uncle Zhan, just take me to the main road."
Generally, the alleys are not safe, but the main roads are fine.
The Zhan family agreed, and it was easier to explain to the family compound. Anyway, they were just attending the wedding, and if the wedding was postponed, they would postpone their attendance, and it would not have much impact.
Lu Shaotang was on a business trip, and the children were all normal. Lin Shu was fine during the day, but she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. She
couldn't help but have wild thoughts, guessing where they were now, what difficulties they would encounter when going abroad, and being afraid...
In the end, in order to force herself to fall asleep, she got up and practiced yoga for a while, and then relaxed before going back to bed.
When she was extremely sleepy and confused, she thought, this must be love, she has loved him very much for a long time. She didn't think about it carefully before, she just felt that living together was very comfortable, and that was a happy feeling.
At this moment, after the habitual lover left, she realized her own love.
She got used to the stable life he gave her, got used to having a broad and warm embrace beside her when she turned over in the middle of the night, got used to someone kissing her and saying good morning in the morning, got used to someone helping her to fetch water when she washed her feet, got used to applying perfume on him at night, got used to the lingering in the middle of the night...
Those habits penetrated into her flesh and blood, lingered in her heart, and slowly grew into a deep and sweet love.
Then, she couldn't let go, and she began to miss him as soon as they parted.
