The car restarted and drove east along Zhongzhou Road.
Passing through the bustling urban area and arriving at the desolate suburbs, the buildings on the roadside were replaced by endless snow.
Beneath the snow, there are thousands of acres of fertile fields. In places where the snow is thinner, wheat seedlings stand stubbornly.
After passing Shanhaiguan, crops are harvested twice a year, and winter wheat is sown after the autumn harvest.
"Sister Yuan Ying, how did you and my brother meet?"
Lin Wanru couldn't help her gossipy soul.
"We met last year when Comrade Lin Xiao had a physical examination. He said at the time that he had just returned from northern Xinjiang."
Yuan Ying said shyly.
"Brother, you're too careless. After meeting Sister Yuan Ying, why don't you strike while the iron is hot? Why did you come to the Northeast to see me?"
There was one more thing Lin Wanru didn't say: Just go if you want to. You'll stay here for several months. If the Party School hadn't started, you wouldn't have gone back. You're not afraid that Yuan Ying will run away.
"How dare you say that? If you and Bai Yi hadn't secretly decided to spend your lives together, would I have to run two thousand miles?
If I don't go, my father will go there himself. What can I do?"
Lin Xiao felt very aggrieved. If he hadn't gone to the Northeast, he might have been married by now.
He was so happy that he didn't want to leave, and he didn't say a word about his stay for several months.
"Sister Yuan Ying, come to our house for dinner tonight. My mother will be so happy to see you."
Lin Wanru also fell in love with this quiet, shy and beautiful girl.
If Yuan Ying could become my sister-in-law, I would probably become good friends with her.
"No, I'm not ready yet."
Yuan Ying quickly refused, looking a little flustered.
"My home isn't a den of danger, what are you afraid of? Everything was fine before the New Year, why are you suddenly backing out?"
Lin Xiao, who was driving, was a little puzzled, not knowing what went wrong.
We had agreed before the New Year that Yuan Ying would visit our home after the holidays, but she suddenly changed her mind.
Lin Xiao's plan to give his parents a surprise also fell through.
I originally thought that Yuan Ying was too shy and not prepared, but when her sister brought it up today, Yuan Ying still refused.
"Sister Yuan Ying, it's clear that my brother treats you very seriously. If you have any concerns, you can speak up directly.
My brother is not young anymore, if you don't feel it's right, don't waste each other's time."
Lin Xiao was embarrassed to say such words, so Lin Wanru could only play the bad guy.
"I feel like we're not a good match. My family is just an ordinary family and we're not worthy of yours."
Yuan Ying's eyelids drooped and tears welled up in her eyes.
She really liked Lin Xiao, the young and ambitious officer, and their relationship was going smoothly. Yuan Ying imagined her future life and even thought of a name for her child.
Until one day, Yuan Ying heard Lin Xiao call Director Liang "Mom" with her own ears in the military hospital.
Everyone in the hospital knows that Director Liang’s lover is the commander of the Luoshui City Military Region.
Lin Xiao, the person he was dating, turned out to be the commander's son.
The first thing Yuan Ying thought of was not marrying into a wealthy family and living the life of a young lady, but she instantly felt the gap in their status, as well as the difficulties and obstacles they would face in the future.
"squeak……"
Lin Xiao stepped on the brakes and the jeep stopped on the side of the road.
"Yuan Ying, this is a matter between the two of us. What does it have to do with family background? As long as we love each other, that's enough."
Lin Xiao turned around and said sincerely.
"That's what I was saying! Everything was fine before, why did you suddenly change your mind? Was it because I ran into my mother in the hospital when I came to see you before the Lunar New Year, and you saw me?"
Lin Xiao understood everything in an instant, and Yuan Ying's abnormality could be explained.
Lin Xiao looked at his sister with gratitude. If it weren't for his sister, he wouldn't know what was going on.
"It's not as simple as you think. You have such good conditions, and I don't know how many people are watching you.
The girls in the military compound, or even the daughters of high-ranking government officials, are all better than me? I don’t think Director Liang would choose me.”
Now that things have come to this, Yuan Ying no longer hides anything and simply lays everything out.
"But I just like you. Since I came back, my mother has introduced me to several people, but I haven't met any of them."
After six years of guarding the border in the northern border, to be honest, even a female camel looks pretty.
As soon as he came back, he went to the military hospital for a routine physical examination. The gentle and beautiful nurse Yuan Ying immediately captured Lin Xiao's heart and made him unable to extricate himself.
After returning home, lying in bed at night, his mind was full of Yuan Ying's brilliant smile, and Lin Xiao knew that he had fallen.
The next morning, Lin Xiao went straight to the hospital. After finding Yuan Ying, he expressed his feelings directly.
Although Yuan Ying was a little surprised and shy, she did not refuse directly. Her first impression of the young officer Lin Xiao was quite good.
However, Yuan Ying always thought that Lin Xiao was just a potential stock with excellent performance in all aspects. She never dreamed that Lin Xiao was actually the son of Commander Lin.
When Yuan Ying heard Lin Xiao call Director Liang "Mom" with her own ears, she backed off.
"Sister Yuan Ying, you think too much. Our family has never had any prejudice against each other.
At least you're still a working-class family, right? Before my dad joined the army, we were farmers.
My brother's marriage was entirely his own decision, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until now.
You will live your own lives from now on. No matter how anxious my mother is, she will not just force a girl on my brother that he doesn't like.
You don’t know, my brother’s personal problems have almost become a source of worry for my mother.
I guess my mother would accept any woman who is alive now."
Lin Wanru held Yuan Ying's hand and said sincerely.
"I really want to thank you for making me sound worthless in order to allay Comrade Yuan Ying's concerns."
Lin Xiao glanced at his sister resentfully.
"Really?"
Hope lit up in Yuan Ying's eyes.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to give up such a high-quality partner like Lin Xiao, otherwise it would not have dragged on until now.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Bai Yi, you've met my mother. Is she very easy to talk to? Is she very kind to you?"
In order to prove that what she said was true, Lin Wanru pulled Yang Baiyi who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
"It's true, Comrade Yuan Ying, I am Wanru's boyfriend, Yang Baiyi, and I also come from an ordinary working-class family.
Wanru and I met when we went to the countryside. Strictly speaking, I am just a farmer now, and I came back to visit my relatives.
Despite my circumstances, my uncle and aunt didn't dislike me at all and were very kind to me."
Yang Baiyi only talked about his general situation, but did not say that he built a small blue brick courtyard as soon as he came to the countryside, nor did he say that he was also a health worker at the Red Star Farm.
Not to mention that the gifts he brought were two wild ginsengs that were over three hundred years old and tiger bones and tiger penis.
