Gao Qin had just finished eating when she saw an old classmate come in with his daughter to say hello, "Qingmeng, you're back in the capital. It's been a while since I last saw you."
"Long time no see, Sister Gao Qin."
Su Qingmeng looked at the mother and daughter. Gao Qin looked good and happy. Her daughter was a graceful little girl. She was holding her mother's hand. It was obvious that the mother and daughter had a good relationship.
Qiu Ling: "Xiao Zi, you've grown taller again."
The girl smiled shyly and greeted generously, "Aunt Qiu," then looked at Su Qingmeng, "Hello, Aunt Su."
After a few pleasantries, Gao Qin left.
Su Qingmeng said, "It seems Gao Qin and her daughter are doing well."
"We're in Beijing and occasionally get together," Qiu Ling said. "Sister Gao Qin has come to terms with it. Living alone is fine, and her daughter is sensible."
When the divorce took place, Gao Qin's daughter was already sensible and knew that it was her father's fault that her parents divorced. Later, the mother and daughter depended on each other and their relationship became even better.
"I heard that Gao Qin's ex-husband's cheating partner gave him a son. He rarely came to see Xiao Zi afterwards, so Gao Qin simply changed their daughter's last name."
Su Qingmeng was curious: "Didn't her ex-husband make a fuss?" People nowadays attach great importance to surnames.
"Of course she's making a fuss," Qiu Ling frowned. "But Gao Qin is asking him for child support for their daughter. Since her ex-husband won't give it, she naturally has nothing to say."
The waiter brought two bowls of noodles and said, "Enjoy your meal."
Su Qingmeng said while eating noodles, "I think it's pretty good. Sister Gao Qin has a job and a child, so she doesn't have to deal with her in-laws. Life must be so easy."
If Lin Xiuyao's family wasn't simple, Su Qingmeng wouldn't have agreed to his pursuit so quickly.
Qiu Ling nodded in agreement, agreeing deeply. She had to accompany her husband back to his parents-in-law's house every Chinese New Year, and they only stayed for a few days, which was a conflict.
After dinner, the two of them went shopping for more than an hour. Su Qingmeng asked, "Still shopping? Or why don't we go home? I'm a little tired."
She hadn't walked for such a long time in a long time, and her legs were sore. It was different from modern times, when she and her bestie could stroll for a whole day without any problem.
Qiu Ling suggested, "I have a movie I want to see for a long time. Can you watch it with me?"
Su Qingmeng did not refuse. When she was in Shanghai, she only had one good friend, Zhou Wenxi. She was not close to the new friends she had made, and Sister Wenxi was quite busy. She hadn't gone shopping with her friends for a long time.
Thinking about the exciting life on modern weekends, she still misses it a little.
The two of them spent the evening together, and Qiu Ling said, "I'll go home with you first. I just wanted to ask you for some coffee beans. I've finished the coffee beans you gave me last time."
"You drank it pretty fast," Su Qingmeng said. It was gone in just over ten days. "I don't have much left at home."
"Oh," Qiu Ling took her arm, "Didn't you give some to others? It's okay, I just want some. Let's go home."
Looking at her expression, Su Qingmeng felt a little strange.
She remained calm and tried to test Qiu Ling twice on the way. Although her expression was unnatural, she evaded the question each time.
Su Qingmeng was even more certain that she was hiding something from her.
When the two returned to the courtyard, Kang Kang was playing with Hei Dou as soon as he entered the yard, and shouted loudly, "Mom is back!"
The hanging flower door was closed. Qiu Ling took two slow steps and Su Qingmeng stepped forward and pushed the door open.
The environment inside the gate was brand new. Several friends were sitting in the corridor: Wu Yuan, Zhou Hai, Tang Yanghua...
It was dark at this time, and the trees in the yard and the eaves of the veranda were hung with colorful lights, balloons, ribbons and candles.
The scene was romantic and beautiful. The road in the middle was covered with flower petals. At the end of the road, red roses formed a heart shape. Lin Xiuyao stood in the center, wearing a black suit, looking at her gently and attentively.
Su Qingmeng felt unreal. Qiu Ling secretly pushed her and whispered, "Go over there."
She reacted, walked across the flower path, and came to Lin Xiuyao.
The man in front of me looked even more handsome under the light. He knelt on one knee, holding the diamond ring in his hand, and said:
"Ms. Su Qingmeng, before I met you, my life was as calm as a pond. After I met you, my life has been filled with sunshine, warmth, romance, and joy. I look forward to every day.
I hope that in the days ahead, we can support each other until we grow old, and never let go. Are you willing to do that?"
The expectation in Lin Xiuyao's eyes was just like the young man by the river in Songjiang Brigade many years ago.
Su Qingmeng was moved, tears welling up in her eyes. They were already an old couple, yet something like this happened.
"I do."
She stretched out her right hand and let Lin Xiuyao put on the ring.
The onlookers applauded.
"How romantic." Tang Yanghua took the camera and took pictures. "It has to be you, Xiuyao."
Qiu Ling agreed, "It's like making a movie."
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, even prettier than movie stars. It's just that they deliberately dragged out time today, which made her feel so suffocated.
However, considering Lin's good intentions towards Qingmeng, she held back.
The friends played for a while, and as it was getting dark, they said goodbye one after another. Lin Xiuyao drove them home, and when they came back, Kang Kang had fallen asleep in the east wing.
Su Qingmeng was combing her hair in front of the dressing table. "Have they all been sent back?"
Lin Xiuyao nodded, took the comb from her hand and combed his wife's hair.
"Why did you think of proposing?" Su Qingmeng looked at him in the mirror.
"Ahem," his cheeks flushed slightly, "You said before that couples all proposed before you traveled through time. When we were in the countryside before, it was too simple."
When his wife talked about it, her tone was envious. She thought that his wife should also have what other girls have.
"Also, didn't we agree to hold the wedding after the situation improves? We've been busy these past few years, and my second sister and her family will be coming over soon. We can invite some friends and hold a wedding then. I've already booked a church."
Su Qingmeng realized that he was busy with something mysterious before returning to his hometown. It turned out that he was preparing for the wedding.
"Why didn't you tell me about it on the wedding day?" she complained coquettishly.
This was originally the plan. Lin Xiuyao touched his nose. Didn’t he ask his classmates to buy wedding dresses for him, and he bought two sets. He was not sure if they were suitable, so he wanted to let his wife try them on.
But he also wanted to give his wife a surprise, so he planned this proposal.
After hearing his reason, Su Qingmeng found it funny, but after Lin Xiuyao took out the wedding dress, she still went to try it on obediently and chose a white puff-sleeved wedding dress.
