Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Lin Xiao and Tang Mei looked at each other, feeling helpless. If Wang Jiaojiao were here, she would definitely say without hesitation: "You two look at each other, and it's obvious that you are not innocent."

After dinner, according to Liu Lin’s arrangement, Tang Mei and Lin Xiao went to the shabby house again to deliver food to everyone.

They walked one after the other on the country road, feeling particularly happy. The village seemed particularly beautiful tonight, with the breeze rustling the leaves; the moonlight sprinkled on the earth, as soft as silver frost; in the rice fields by the roadside, frogs were singing happily.

Arriving at the shabby house, the people who had finished their meal were not in a hurry to go to sleep. As the weather was hot, they each held a fan and chatted leisurely under the eaves in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Zhou Shanshan had sharp eyes and noticed at a glance that there was something different between Lin Xiao and Tang Mei. It seemed as if there were many pink bubbles surrounding them. So she smiled and held Tang Mei's hand more affectionately than usual.

"I haven't seen you for almost half a year. You've become more and more beautiful. You've graduated, right? Do you have a boyfriend? Do you need me to introduce you to one?"

Tang Mei was so worried by Zhou Shanshan's series of questions that she really wanted to reply to her: "Ask your son!"

Fortunately, she still had a bit of rationality left, reminding her not to say that, otherwise, something uncontrollable might happen.

"Aunt, I've graduated and started working. I came to see you after get off work today. As for me, I don't have a boyfriend yet." Tang Mei looked at Lin Xiao with a smile, and the words "save me" were clearly written on her face.

But Lin Xiao had his back to Tang Mei and didn't even notice the look in her eyes asking for help.

Gu Dengyi saw the little girl's expression, chuckled, and decided to help her out.

"Girl Mei, I heard that you were assigned to work at the town government?"

"Yes, Grandpa Gu, you are really well-informed. Today is only my first day at work, and you already know about it. That's impressive, but I am just a small secretary in the town government."

Tang Mei quickly took Zhou Shanshan's hand and sat down, acting as if she really wanted to chat with Grandpa Gu.

Zhou Shanshan felt so regretful in her heart. She had originally wanted to find out whether this girl was dating her boy.

This is good, don't scare the girl! She muttered to herself, was she too reckless just now, would Tang Mei be disgusted?

Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still, so she grabbed her son and went into the house and began to question him.

"Not bad, not bad. Being a secretary is already very impressive! Keep working hard in the future and strive to serve our country!" Gu Dengyi said seriously.

Although his life is not going well now, he has never complained about the country. He just feels that the country is sick and needs more people to heal it.

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Gu for your concern. I will try my best!" Tang Mei replied with a smile.

Gu Dengyi was very satisfied. This little girl didn't show any impatience towards the elderly, which was really great.

He went on to say, "If you need any help, just come to me or your uncle Gu. We will definitely not refuse."

Although his current condition was not very good, he was already luckier than many people because he was assigned to the Bayi Brigade and did not suffer any serious consequences. Therefore, he wanted to do his part to help the person who had saved him from suffering.

Gu Dengyi's eldest son Gu Rongyi, who was enjoying the cool breeze nearby, also agreed with his father's words and nodded with a smile: "Yes, little Tang girl, you are always welcome to come to us!"

Tang Mei nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Grandpa and Uncle. Don't worry, if anyone needs to go to your place, I will definitely come to bother you."

Gu Dengyi smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Tang Mei's statement. Regardless of whether she would bring trouble to him or not, he felt very comfortable just by hearing these caring words.

After a brief conversation and asking about everyone's recent living conditions, Lin Xiao also walked out of the house.

"Tang Mei, it's getting late, we should go back! You still have to go to work tomorrow, so you must have a good rest tonight." Lin Xiao said softly.

After Tang Mei greeted the elders in the yard one by one, she followed Lin Xiao out of the yard.

Zhou Shanshan also followed them and sent them to the door. She stared at Tang Mei with a more fiery gaze than before, causing Tang Mei to unconsciously feel a little nervous and uneasy.

"Auntie, you don't have to see me off. We are going to go back to the room and sleep. You should also go to bed early." Tang Mei made a goodbye gesture to Zhou Shanshan.

Zhou Shanshan nodded with a smile on her face and responded, "Yeah, okay! Go to bed, I'll be back soon." Her expression was exactly how a future mother-in-law should look at her daughter-in-law.

Tang Mei and Lin Xiao watched Zhou Shanshan enter the house.

"What's wrong with your mother? The way she looks at me is like Grandma Wolf seeing Little Red Riding Hood." Tang Mei actually wanted to ask him if he had told Aunt Zhou about his pursuit of her, but out of her girlish modesty, she did not ask in the end.

"Nothing? Maybe it's been a long time since I saw you come to see them, and suddenly I saw you and I was a little overly enthusiastic." Lin Xiao made up an excuse. He really didn't dare to tell Tang Mei about his mother's questioning of him just now.

It turned out that after Zhou Shanshan called Lin Xiao in, she got straight to the point and asked, "Are you two dating?"

"No, how could that be?" Lin Xiao was stubborn and didn't want to admit it.

Zhou Shanshan stared at her son and tried to lie. "I see how you two are doing. Don't lie. You must be dating. I heard it from your uncle Tang."

Lin Xiao was surprised. "Why would Uncle Tang tell you that we are dating? We haven't even started dating yet. He knows that I am just pursuing Meimei now. Meimei only agreed to let me pursue her, but she hasn't agreed to be with me yet."

Zhou Shanshan said, “Oh, so I haven’t gotten her yet.” That indescribable tone of voice, her face full of disgust, was as if to say, “If I can’t even get this girl, don’t recognize me as your mother.”

"Mom, what's with that expression on your face? You shouldn't treat me like this, right? No, you're lying to me. Uncle Tang didn't tell you anything, right?" Lin Xiao finally reacted.

"You little brat, tell mom if anything happens. I'll help you. How can you catch up with her alone? I can also help you conquer your mother-in-law." Regardless of whether her son agreed to her help or not, she was determined to improve her relationship with the Tang family.

"Mom, don't do it yet. I know what I'm doing." Lin Xiao refused. He was afraid that his mother would get involved and Tang Mei would be unwilling to date him.

"How much do you distrust your mother's ability? Okay, okay, if you don't let me take care of it, then I won't.

But you have to remember, as men, we have to be polite to women, respect girls, and be sensible. Don't do anything to hurt girls before you get married, okay?"

Zhou Shanshan believed that her son would not do anything to hurt Tang Mei, but as a future mother-in-law,

We all have gone through the ignorant youth, so we still need to be reminded of what needs to be reminded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I will respect and care for Tang Mei." Lin Xiao.

"Okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Just know it in your heart." Zhou Shanshan.
