Li Huiru hugged her daughter, listening to her daughter's sobbing, her eyes were sore, and tears couldn't be stopped.

She took two deep breaths. At this time, no matter how sad she was, she had to hold it back.

She hugged her daughter and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay. I heard from your father that the war should be over soon. Shushu, don't be afraid, nothing will happen. You have to believe him, live a good life, and wait for him to come back at home. The child is only two months old now, so don't worry too much. Take good care of yourself, understand?"

"Yeah,"

Lin Shu took a breath and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, mom, I just didn't know what to do for a while. "

Li Huiru accompanied Lin Shu to talk in the house, while Aunt Su and Han Zhen stood outside the door.

Aunt Su sighed and whispered, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

Lin Shu was a calm person after all.

She was really sad... Maybe it was because of the influence of pregnancy that her emotions were more easily fluctuated. But after crying, she continued to do what she had to do. Even though Li Huiru and Aunt Su advised her to take a few days off and not go to school for the time being, she still went as usual.

But at school, whether it was students or teachers, the most talked about topic was the war.

Everyone was excited and indignant.

They saw that Lin Shu knew that Lin Shu's lover was in the border troops, and they wanted to pull Lin Shu to talk to everyone.

But Lin Shu didn't want to participate in this topic. After class, she said goodbye to everyone and left, preparing to go home to do something else.

…At this time, she understood why her mother and Aunt Su had to keep her in Guangzhou. Nanzhou was so close to the border, it could be said that it was the rear base of this war, and the impact there must be greater than that of Guangzhou.

In such an environment, she was pregnant, and her mood would definitely be affected.

Lin Shu walked through the campus back to her residence.

On the way, she accidentally saw a few female students welcoming her. They came over, wearing white shirts and bell-bottom pants, one of them even had big curly hair, and her smile was full of vigor.

This has suddenly become popular in the past few months.

In the past few months, apart from the war, there is often a big news every day, and the most influential news is probably "internal reform and external opening up".

Propaganda slogans "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" are posted on the streets and alleys, and the masses are in full swing.

The campuses and streets of Guangzhou are not overshadowed by the war, but are full of vigorous vitality.

Lin Shu took a deep breath and felt brighter.

The house they lived in was just one street away from the school. It took ten minutes to turn the corner and you would arrive.

Just at the school gate, she met a middle-aged woman in a tweed coat.

She had short hair that reached her ears, and she looked capable and kind as a female cadre.

She came up to Lin Shu when she saw her and said to her, "Hello, classmate Lin Shu, can we talk? "

Lin Shu didn't know this woman.

She looked friendly and smiled at her, but Lin Shu felt uncomfortable.It seemed that wrapped in that friendly smile, there was an uncomfortable consideration.

Lin Shu hadn't used the ability to listen to other people's inner thoughts for a long time.

Because it was not only unnecessary in life, but also disturbing to herself, so she had always avoided skin contact with others... In fact, she was a little unsure whether it was still useful.

Because it seemed to be useless for her family, such as Jinxi, Zhenzhen, and her mother. Even Teacher Ruan, when they sometimes came into contact, apart from being able to sense some of her emotions, she couldn't hear any inner thoughts... Of course, she thought, normal people wouldn't seem to be mumbling in their hearts when they came into contact with others, right?

But even if she deliberately didn't use it, even if she didn't touch the other person, her ability to sense the other person's emotions was very accurate.

She took a step back, keeping a certain distance from the other party, and said, "Excuse me, who is this comrade?"

"My last name is Du,"

Mrs. Gu's eyes darkened slightly, then she introduced herself with a smile, saying, "My husband's last name is Gu, he is Gu Zhaolin, the chief of staff of the 48th Division of the Guangzhou Military Region, you can just call me aunt."

The wife of the chief of staff of a certain division of the Guangzhou Military Region... So, what does it have to do with her?

And he smiled so deliberately, but actually hid a weighing attitude?

Aunt?

"Comrade Du,"

Lin Shu said politely, "Do you want to see me for something?"

"Yes, yes,"

Mrs. Gu smiled lovingly and said, "I happened to see your photo in my son's activity album... My son's name is Gu Xiaowen, he is a student of your Zhongda, now a junior, he participated in your discussion meeting last time and took some photos, I saw you, so I asked him about you and came here."

These are of course all reasons found out. But it is true that her second son is a junior student at Zhongda University.

He was recommended by the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Did you come here after seeing her photo?

Lin Shu thought of Dean Chen again.

And the photo that Dean Chen gave her.

Lin Shu looked at her carefully and said, "Why did you come here?"

Uh...Mrs. Gu was uncomfortable with her attitude. Her family's status and position were there. She was always respected and flattered when interacting with people.

No one of the younger generation dared to talk to her in such a tone and attitude.

Especially since this girl's lover was still in the army and now on the battlefield, after hearing her identity at this time, if not deliberately currying favor with her, at least he should be careful to flatter her, right?

...Lin Meilan did not tell her in detail about the identity of the Lin family, but only said that they were leaders in the city of Xizhou, and the Liang family was from a farming family, which could not be wrong, but such information obviously made Mrs. Gu look down on them.

She let out a breath, slowly put away her smile, and said, "It's because I saw that classmate Lin Shu looks very similar to the daughter of my wife's second brother... Classmate Lin Shu, can we talk?"

My wife's second brother's daughter?

Lin Shu immediately remembered what Dean Chen had said, "You disliked the family background of the Su family, and you abandoned them after having sex with them, and made your mother pregnant before marriage"...

She remained silent.

The other person's face was already gloomy and uncomfortable, and he said, "Classmate Lin Shu, I know this is very presumptuous... but I really want to talk to you. My wife's second brother insisted on going to the battlefield to get his family's consent for his marriage, but he never came back. This has always been the biggest pain for my parents-in-law and my wife. Later, they heard that the second brother's girlfriend had given birth to a child, so they went to the Su family and wanted to take the child back to raise, but the second brother's girlfriend had already left and said that the child had died a long time ago..."

As she spoke, her eyes were already full of grief... It would be more realistic if she could shed some tears.

First, the relatives on the biological mother's side came to recognize the relatives.

Then the relatives from her biological father's side came to recognize her.

For a moment, Lin Shu didn't know what to say.

In fact, what Teacher Ruan said was right. Even if she didn't recognize her relationship, some things should be clarified.

Because, even if she didn't recognize it, others might come to her.

"I'm sorry to hear such a thing,"

Lin Shu said calmly, "but dead is dead, the dead are gone, there are so many people who look like them in the world, there is no need to disturb other irrelevant people, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin Shu nodded at her, ignored the other's stunned expression, walked around her and left.

Lin Shu returned home, her mother and Aunt Su were cutting clothes downstairs and talking.

These were small clothes made for the baby in her belly.

Lin Shu smiled and said hello to them and went upstairs.

She sat down at the table and calmed down, then opened the drawer and took out an envelope from it.

She reached out and touched it, and pulled out a few pieces of paper and a few photos from it.

Lin Shu glanced at the photos and reached out to touch the top sheet of paper.

The familiar strong and powerful handwriting...but she knew that the font was much more restrained and looked much more relaxed.

That was his handwriting. Because it was written for her, he deliberately wrote it in regular script.

Lin Shu reached out to touch the handwriting, and her emotions fluctuated again.

She took a breath, suppressed the sourness in her eyes and nose, and then slowly exhaled, carefully reading the information on the paper.

There was the address of her "grandmother", Grandma Chen, the current situation of the people around her, and her daily routine.

And the situation in the past ten years.

The photo was a photo of Grandma Chen and Grandma Sun.

This was after Dean Chen came to see her that time, Liang Jinxi asked someone to help check it.

He gave it to her and said, "Put it there, just in case, you never know when you'll need it."

He always did things like this.

He thought of everything for her.

Just like Zhou Chengzhi's matter, the matter of the old family of the Lin family, and the matter of Fengfeng being surrounded by people... She didn't need him to check it out, he thought and did it more thoughtfully and meticulously than she could think of on her own.

But he stopped at the right time.

He said that he didn't ask anyone to check the matter of her biological mother and father, because she might not want outsiders to ask about such matters.

If she wanted to know, she could go to this Sun Ma. With her intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult to ask those old things from Sun Ma.

She pinched the paper, and her nose couldn't help but feel sour again.

In the past, she always disliked that he didn't like to talk to her.

He kissed her before they said a few words...

But now, she felt that even if he didn't say anything, as long as he was by her side, it was good...

A voice came from the corridor.

Lin Shu wiped her eyes quickly and turned around to see her mother coming up.

Li Huiru came over, glanced at the paper in her hand, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shu took a breath, smiled, and said, "It's okay, mom. This was given to me by Jinxi before. I always thought it was unnecessary, so I didn't open it to read. I just saw his handwriting and felt a little uncomfortable for a while... It's true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. I didn't have such sentimentality before."

Li Huiru reached out and touched her hair, but didn't say anything.

But Lin Shu didn't plan to hide it from her mother this time.

First, she thought her mother should know, and second, she was pregnant now, and didn't plan to take care of everything by herself. She didn't care, but it would be bad if something happened to the child because of her negligence.

She reached out and pulled her mother to sit on the bed, and told her about the woman surnamed Du who said she was her biological father's sister-in-law today.

Lin Shu said, "Mom, I don't mean to assume bad things, but I always feel like she's weighing something... Since her family didn't agree to my biological father and mother's marriage, and it led to the situation later, and my biological father is dead, what's the point of looking for me? So I definitely won't recognize them, and I won't even go out with them... But I think they will definitely come to my house again, so I plan to investigate the past things clearly, so that I won't be in a passive position."

Li Huiru had heard about Dean Chen looking for Lin Shu a long time ago.

But she didn't expect that her daughter's biological father would come to her right after that.

She has always been a thoughtful and considerate person, nodded, and said, "You're right, but if you want to go, don't go alone, call Han Zhen another day, and we'll go with you."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Are you still afraid that they will do something to me?"

But she also felt that it would be better to consider it more carefully.

They planned to visit Grandma Chen and Grandma Sun this weekend, but before they left, Mrs. Gu came to visit.

Mrs. Gu brought her son Gu Xiaowen with her.

She was a little surprised to see the small western-style building along the river when she came to visit.

…During the Republic of China, most of the small western-style buildings in this area were villas of wealthy and noble families. Even if their family wanted to buy a small western-style building here, it was not easy. The main thing was that you had to find a seller, and buying such a house was too eye-catching.

However, thinking of what Lin Meilan said, Lin Shu's adoptive mother was temporarily living in a friend's house, she didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, she couldn't care so much.

She knocked on the door of the Han family.

Aunt Su and Li Huiru were there.

Lin Shu was upstairs.

Mrs. Gu introduced herself and her son, saying that she came to talk.

Fortunately, Lin Shu had told Li Huiru before, and she already knew who this person was.

I just found Lin Shu yesterday afternoon, and I came again today... This must be a detailed investigation and careful preparation.

It doesn't seem like she just wanted to recognize her relatives and confirm the relationship because she saw someone who looks like her.

And she opened the door and brought out the titles of her lover and father-in-law to hit you.

It seems that she is afraid that you don't know and don't want to cling to them for their reputation.
