As soon as Bai Shuixian finished drawing the face shape and eyes, Gong Linglong confirmed, "Mom, the eyes are right, exactly the same."
Seeing their eyes meet, Bai Shuixian threw away her pen and hugged her, crying and laughing, "Linglong, it's my eldest brother, your uncle. He has eyes like your grandfather. Both father and son have narrow eyes. Your second uncle and I have eyes like your grandmother."
Thinking that her uncle was still alive, Gong Linglong couldn't help but feel happy and said hurriedly, "Mom, Brother Jing's guess is right. My uncle and the others must be alive. They must be in Kyoto right now, also seeking revenge on the Xue family."
"Well, they're alive."
Bai Shuixian burst into tears, feeling excited and regretful: "Brother was in Seoul at the time, very close to us."
"Mom, we will definitely meet again."
Gong Linglong hugged her to comfort her and said, "Mom, please draw me a picture of my grandparents and my eldest and second uncles. They will definitely attack the Xue family again. I'll go out more often these days and wait. Maybe I can see them again."
"well."
Bai Shuixian wiped away her tears and returned to the table to paint again.
Gong Linglong looked at her watch and saw that it was getting late. Her mother-in-law and the others were about to arrive. She said, "Mom, you paint first. Brother Jing and I will go cook."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do it first, I'll come over when I'm done."
Outside a telephone booth somewhere in Kyoto, a tall and thin man had just finished a phone call and was holding a newspaper in his hand. On the front of the newspaper was a photo of Gong Linglong's profile.
He looked at the person in the photo, blaming her, but also showing a hint of doting: "Wantang is really something. Linglong was pregnant, and he took her to the disaster relief. Both mother and daughter don't know how to take care of themselves."
He folded the newspaper, slowly put it in his pocket, and walked back slowly, muttering: "Lu Jingchuan, the son of Lu Nanzheng and Zhou Lanqin, Aji's apprentice, a regular regimental commander, barely worthy of my Linglong."
In the evening, Lu Jingyang rode his bicycle with his mother to find the residence and knocked on the door first, "Brother, open the door."
"Here I come."
Lu Jingchuan immediately opened the door and came out.
Seeing my mother carrying large and small bags, with two stacks of oil-paper packages hanging on her shoulders, I could tell at a glance that she had just bought some ready-made goods from the pastry shop. She greeted me with a smile: "Mom, you've come just in time. Your precious grandchildren must be complaining in their stomachs because they know you've brought some delicious food."
Gong Linglong was eating cookies in the bedroom, but now she came out and called out happily, "Mom."
"Hey, Linglong."
Seeing her daughter-in-law, Zhou Lanqin narrowed her eyes in a smile and immediately handed her the pastries hanging on her shoulder, "Linglong, eat quickly, they are all hot. I just bought them after get off work."
Gong Linglong took it with a smile and said to Lu Jingchuan in the same tone, "It turns out that the babies know that grandma has brought delicious food, and they are shouting happily."
"Oh, I'm a little late. My dear grandson is hungry."
Zhou Lanqin handed all the things to her son, took her into the house, and reached out to touch her abdomen. "You're a little pregnant. It seems that the little ones are growing up very fast."
"It's grown a lot in the past half month."
While they were talking, Bai Shuixian came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face: "Mother-in-law, Jingyang."
"Mother-in-law, long time no see."
"Aunt Bai, nice to see you again." Lu Jingyang met her when he left the disaster area.
They had just boiled a pot of water. Lu Jingchuan poured a glass of plain water for his mother and brother, saying, "There's no tea here, so just have a glass of plain water."
"We are not guests, so we don't need your special treatment. Go help your mother-in-law cook."
Zhou Lanqin chased him away, her eyes only on her daughter-in-law. She pulled her to sit at the table and opened the oil-paper packages one by one. "Linglong, I bought butterfly cakes, egg rolls, walnut buns, and a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts. They're all fresh from the pan and still hot. Come and eat them."
“These are the ones I like.”
Gong Linglong has always liked sweets, and she loved them even more after she became pregnant. Her mother-in-law would mail her cakes every month, and most of them would end up in her stomach.
"If you like it, eat more. Mom will take a day off in a couple of days and I'll take you to the store to buy some. There are many fresh varieties in the store for you to choose from."
Zhou Lanqin peeled the chestnuts for her and put the chestnut meat in her hand. "You eat it, and I'll peel it for you."
"Mom, you eat too." Gong Linglong also peeled one for her and fed it into her mouth.
Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law loving each other and feeding each other, Lu Jingyang, who was sitting next to them, laughed softly and said to Lu Jingchuan: "Brother, our status at home is far less than before."
"It will continue to move backwards in the future." Lu Jingchuan knew it.
Zhou Lanqin looked at them and said, "You are already grown up, and you still say such things? Aren't you ashamed?"
Gong Linglong smiled brightly and changed the subject: "Jingyang, is there any good news recently?"
"have."
Zhou Lanqin answered for him first and told them about the good things that had happened recently. "The day before yesterday, Jiang Yun came to the Public Security Bureau and had lunch with us. After lunch, she had a fight with Jingyang. She let him win a little, and Jingyang got a draw."
Lu Jingyang rolled his eyes, his expression helpless: "Mom, what do you mean by picking up a tie?"
"If she doesn't let you go, can you beat her?"
Zhou Lanqin was fully aware of her son's abilities and spoke a bit quickly, "Jingchuan has set you up with someone. That woman has made a point of giving you a chance, so you've got to seize it. I'm quite optimistic about Jiang Yun. She's forthright and humorous, and quite intelligent, unlike some young girls who are pretentious and coy. She's also very capable and a very good partner choice. If you're interested, you'd better pay attention."
"I understand." Lu Jingyang was a little helpless.
"Don't just pay lip service to it, take action. You should learn this from your brother."
"Look at your brother. He took a liking to Linglong at first sight and acted swiftly, not giving anyone else any chance."
"Look at how sweet and loving your brother and sister-in-law are. A marriage based on free love is more stable and solid than one randomly arranged by the elders in the family, and it will also be much happier."
Seeing his mother start nagging, Lu Jingyang was overwhelmed. "Deputy Director Zhou, you've been talking non-stop at work all day today. Isn't your mouth still dry?"
"hehe..."
Gong Linglong listened and laughed nearby. She quite liked this kind of family atmosphere and started to smooth things over for her brother-in-law. "Mom, not every couple is like me and Brother Jing. I think Jingyang and Jiang Yun get along pretty well and have a good impression of each other. Let's give them some time to get to know each other."
"They are both adults, and both are frank and straightforward. When there is good news, they will definitely inform us as soon as possible."
Zhou Lanqin smiled and said to her youngest son, "Alright, I won't nag you any more. You can handle your own private affairs."
