Ms. Qiao shook her head. "It's hard to imagine. When we were young, we learned that 'women hold up half the sky' and 'labor is the most glorious'. But when we get older, we actually feel ashamed to support ourselves."
The summer sun is hot to begin with, and it's even hotter at the beach. Qin Guan and Gu Yiming both chose to walk in the shade, while Lin Jiaqiao was the only one walking in the sun.
She is very happy now and doesn't mind getting tanned.
Lin Jiaqiao poked Qin Guan: "Guan Guan, why is Auntie here? Isn't she afraid of the sun and never goes out on sunny days?"
Qin Guan sighed, "Come and complain to Ms. Qiao. She had a quarrel with my father recently."
He didn't think it was a serious matter and quickly changed the subject, "Lao Gu, have you dealt with your mother?"
Lin Jiaqiao asked: "What happened to Mingming?"
Qin Guan said, "You forgot, Lao Lin said he got off work early today and wanted to take us out for barbecue."
"How could she agree?" Gu Yiming was a little excited. "But I told her that there is a lecture in the library today and I will be back later."
Qin Guan, relying on his height, touched Gu Yiming's head and said, "Our old Gu has suffered."
They all knew that Gu Yiming's mother was simply a lunatic, so they couldn't help but stand up for him.
Gu Yiming slapped his hand away and said, "Call me brother."
Watching the two of them fighting, Lin Jiaqiao vaguely remembered that before Gu Yiming went to the repeat school, Lin Dapeng seemed to have been injured.
It seems like today
She asked Qin Guan: "Guan Guan, are we going to Grandpa's house soon?"
Qin Guan thought for a moment, "Recently? Ms. Qiao didn't tell me."
After hesitating for a moment, he said sourly: "Don't you want to take me with you?"
Lin Jiaqiao had no time to comfort him, she rushed home and asked Ms. Qiao: "Mom, are we going to Grandpa's house soon?"
Ms. Qiao was stunned. "Your grandfather just called me and asked us to go back. He said he would hold a graduation party for you."
"Did he call you too?"
Lin Jiaqiao didn't have time to explain and ran away again, dragging Qin Guan and Gu Yiming, who were still catching their breath.
It's today.
Lin Jiaqiao remembered that after she finished the college entrance examination, Lin Dapeng invited them to have barbecue together. However, he sprained his waist while trying to catch a thief, so in the end they did not have the barbecue together.
It was even Lin Jiaqiao who drove them back to his grandfather's house.
This was the first time that Lin Dapeng left work early since Lin Jiaqiao could remember, so she remembered it very clearly.
Haicheng has always had good greening, with a high vegetation coverage rate. On the way from Lao Lin's house to the Municipal Bureau, you will pass by a small forest.
This is where Lin Dapeng got into trouble.
In the evening, the setting sun has jumped into the sea, and the afterglow creates an orange-red world.
As soon as the three of them broke into the grove, they saw a familiar figure.
It’s Lin Dapeng.
He was gesticulating towards them, but no one knew what he was doing.
Could this be the arrest operation
Lin Jiaqiao looked around and saw only her father, without any reinforcements.
She was really curious, so she tiptoed to her father.
Lin Dapeng's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "What kind of behavior are you guys taking!"
"We live in a society ruled by law now. Think about your parents, wife and children. If they knew you did something like this, how would they look at you?"
"Don't stop. In this open world, you dare to ignore the law. I warn you once again—"
Lin Jiaqiao originally thought that if something really happened, she could still lend a hand to her father, so she acted with extra caution.
She carefully poked her head out, and was stunned:
Under the big tree ahead, a local dog and a poodle were fighting over a leg of trousers, digging up the open space and causing dust to fly.
Lin Jiaqiao was speechless: "Comrade Lin, you really have a childlike heart."
Lin Dapeng was not embarrassed at all. "You don't understand. If they play here, it would be a safety hazard if they bite someone."
After saying that, he waved to the three of them: "Let's go, let's go back—"
Before he uttered the word "home", a dark shadow fell from the top of the tree.
Lin Dapeng reacted quickly and immediately pushed the children aside.
When he tried to dodge, the thing fell straight on him and knocked him unconscious on the spot.
All this happened in just a moment. When Lin Jiaqiao, Qin Guan and Gu Yiming came to their senses, Lin Dapeng had already fallen to the ground unconscious.
Next to them, a Husky, holding half a trouser leg in its mouth, tilted its intelligent head and looked at them innocently.
The three men looked up at the tree, then down at the dog.
The dog tilted its head, put the half of the trouser leg in its mouth at their feet as compensation, wagged its tail, and ran away.
Lin Dapeng is in good physical condition and he woke up before the ambulance arrived.
He looked around warily and struggled to get up: "Who is plotting against me?"
Lin Jiaqiao moved his mouth, but he couldn't say "it's a dog".
Qin Guan quickly advised: "Don't move, wait for the doctor to come-"
Lin Dapeng became stubborn and insisted on standing up.
During the argument, there was a "click" sound, and Lin Dapeng held his upper body in a strange posture.
Lin Jiaqiao suddenly heard the sound of a suona in his mind, and a man shouted, "Hey, I'm talking about fate—"
Lin Jiaqiao asked: "My waist is sprained."
Lin Dapeng replied: "I sprained my waist."
This was the first time Gu Yiming encountered such a thing, and he asked helplessly: "Let's, let's do something."
Lin Jiaqiao remained calm: "I said you get hurt every time you catch thieves, is that okay?"
Lin Dapeng replied: "… Let's add some more details."
As expected, the whole thing about catching a thief was actually a lie.
Since marrying Lin Dapeng, Ms. Qiao’s biggest fear is going to the hospital.
She was scared to death when she received Lin Jiaqiao's call, and only breathed a sigh of relief after she was sure that Lin Dapeng was safe.
She wanted to scold Lin Dapeng, but he was now wearing a waist clamp, and he looked miserable and funny, so she couldn't bear it.
She sighed, "I told Dad that we'd go back the day after tomorrow. Now that you're here, how are we going to get home?"
"Dad was so happy when he found out that Zhizhi was admitted to university that he planned to invite the whole village to a banquet. How should we explain this to him?"
Seeing her sad face, Lin Dapeng comforted her, "Let Lin Zhizhi drive."
"She already has her driver's license, and the country is willing to trust her, yet you still doubt her."
"This beautiful comrade, please do not go against the country."
Ms. Qiao was amused and punched him lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Lin Jiaqiao suddenly understood why Lin Dapeng looked disgusted every time she was with Qin Guan.
Some people become annoying once they fall in love.
The children of these two people are old enough to date, and they are still sweet and will always be sweet.
Until Lin Dapeng passed away.
After Lin Dapeng passed away, Ms. Qiao never cried. At least, Lin Jiaqiao never saw her cry in front of others.
Lin Jiaqiao was worried that she was too sad, so he moved back with her and wanted to take care of her.
But her life was the same as before, getting up early, cooking, and doing her work. It seemed no different from every day in the past.
Until one morning, Ms. Qiao cooked century egg and lean meat porridge as usual.
Everyone in their family likes sweet porridge, except Lao Lin, who likes salty one.
It was not until the porridge was placed on the table that Ms. Qiao seemed to remember something and muttered, "Ah, no one wants to drink it."
After saying that, she started crying.
It was a very desperate and sad cry.
Only then did Lin Jiaqiao realize that she could not actually help at all.
For some reason, Lin Jiaqiao suddenly wanted to kiss her boyfriend.
Qin Guan was discussing Lin Dapeng's condition with the doctor. When he found Lin Jiaqiao looking at him, he greeted the doctor and came to find her.
He said, "Don't worry, Lao Lin is fine. The doctor said he will be fine after a few days of rest."
His face was full of childishness at this time, but he did things seriously, like a little adult.
Lin Jiaqiao was so touched by his cuteness that she couldn't help but hug him.
Qin Guan's mother and Gu Yiming were quietly making noises at the side, and Lin Dapeng scolded, "Lin Jiaqiao, don't take advantage of your brother."
Lin Jiaqiao, the hooligan, was upright, and the victim, Qin Guan, was originally open and honest, but he blushed when his mother and Gu Yiming teased him. He said, "I, I'll go get medicine for Lao Lin."
Qin Guan's mother was dissatisfied: "Did you call him Lao Lin? Call him godfather."
Qin Guan mumbled something and went out.
Gu Yiming chased after him, looking at him with a smile.
Qin Guan asked: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yimin said, "You look a little strange today, look at you."
Qin Guan asked: "What?"
Gu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't you dislike people asking you to watch the cubs?"
Qin Guan was stunned, then looked away, "... Lin Zhizhi is not someone else."
Lin Jiaqiao strolled out from behind him, "That's right, I'm not someone else."
Gu·Human Purity·Old Magician·Fairy didn't understand what she had encountered at this time, and asked in confusion: "Are we in the morgue? Why do I have goose bumps?"
Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan simultaneously cast dissatisfied glances at Gu Yiming, and Gu Yiming's clear eyes were filled with confusion: "What?"
Qin Guan was about to speak when Lin Jiaqiao's cell phone rang.
She is currently using a Haier smartphone that is as thick as a brick, the same one that was later given to Xiang Xiaoyuan.
She pressed the answer button, and a gentle female voice asked, "Excuse me, are you Yiming's classmate?"
Unprepared, the three shuddered.
Lin Jiaqiao had met Gu Yiming's mother.
When she was eleven or twelve years old, Gu Yiming always liked to go to the police station. Every time she and Qin Guan went to look for her father, they would always see him in the small meeting room.
Sometimes he was doing his homework, and sometimes he was walking around restlessly. That's how they met.
Gu Yiming has been tight-lipped since he was a child. Later, when they became very familiar with each other, Qin Guan asked him why he went to the police station, and he just said that he had lost something very important.
About half a year later, Gu Yiming's mother found out about his trip to the police station and came to the police station in person, bowing and apologizing to all the police officers.
Gu Yiming's mother looked a lot like him, with a gentle and harmless look. She was also thin, and her spine would bulge out very clearly when she bowed.
Lin Jiaqiao was in the small conference room at the time. She saw it clearly. The apology on her face was genuine. She really thought Gu Yiming was being naughty and blamed herself for it.
Lin Dapeng and Ms. Qiao gave Lin Jiaqiao a free-range education. This was the first time Lin Jiaqiao had seen such a considerate mother, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
