Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Lin An'an stood at the restaurant entrance, watching Song Meili's figure disappear into the distance.

"That's wonderful. She's so spirited and energetic now. If she works hard in the capital, things will definitely get better for her."

Gu Qingsong's gaze remained fixed on Lin An'an.

Hearing Lin An'an's sigh, he couldn't help but smile.

He didn't know if Song Meili's life would be better, but he would definitely try his best to make Lin An'an's life better.

His delicate wife isn't good at housework, nor is she very bright, but she has a kind and gentle heart.

They really have "easy to bully" written all over their faces.

If Lin An'an, who is so beautiful, innocent, kind, and guileless, were to venture out into society alone, she would likely inevitably suffer from bullying by others.

Even though she carefully concealed her beauty, she managed to ward off some wolves from prying eyes.

But once she starts working in the factory, her colleagues might deliberately dump a lot of tedious and heavy work on her, exploiting all of her labor.

Gu Qingsong thought with pity that, given his wife's personality, she would probably be devoured until there were no bones left, but she would just work even harder and wouldn't even know she was being bullied.

But now that he's here, he'll definitely take good care of Lin An'an.

Gu Qingsong gently patted his wife's back and asked softly, "Is there anywhere else you'd like to go? Would you like to see a movie?"

Lin An'an had no idea what Gu Qingsong was thinking; she only felt that the man in front of her was looking at her strangely.

But watching a movie?

Lin An'an decisively shook her head and refused; she was not interested in black and white films of this era.

She went to see it once when she was bored, but she wanted to leave less than ten minutes into the movie. In the end, she insisted on watching the whole thing because she couldn't bear to spend the money on the ticket.

It's really torturous.

She'd be better off drinking more water and waiting to pee and play in the mud.

Lin An'an thought for a moment and said, "There's nowhere I want to go. I'm quite tired after walking around. Let's go back early."

Gu Qingsong nodded, asked Lin An'an to wait at the door for a moment, and then returned to the shop.

Lin An'an didn't pay any attention, nodded haphazardly, and stood at the restaurant entrance watching the commotion without turning her head.

Those two walking over there, about eight feet apart, their faces flushed and heads down, must be a newlywed couple, hehe.

During market days, the steamed buns in the shop always sell the best. The people at the state-run restaurant have experience with this, and today they prepared a lot of meat buns.

When Gu Qingsong returned inside, a large steamer basket of food had just come out of the pot, and the aroma was so enticing that even people who had just finished eating were tempted to eat again.

Gu Qingsong bought ten large meat buns in one go.

It's too hot, so I bought some steamed buns to take home. I can just make a simple soup for dinner, saving me the trouble of cooking a proper meal.

Lin An'an waited at the door for less than two minutes before Gu Qingsong came out.

Lin An'an's eyes lit up when she saw the steamed buns in Gu Qingsong's hand.

Wow, how did you know I wanted to eat meat buns?

Lin An'an had originally planned to take a few meat buns home after dinner.

The large meat buns at state-run restaurants have thin skins and generous fillings, and are tender and juicy, making them a specialty.

Just now, Song Meili insisted on packing food for them, so Lin An'an held back and didn't say anything, afraid that Song Meili would rush to pay for it.

Lin An'an was overjoyed to see the big meat buns.

Seeing Lin An'an's supportive reaction, Gu Qingsong slightly curled the corners of his lips.

He bought it mainly for Lin An'an to eat, and he was naturally happy that Lin An'an liked it so much.

Gu Qingsong held Lin An'an's hand with his free right hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the courtyard first. A new batch of goods arrived yesterday. Go and see if there's anything you like."

Lin An'an happily hummed in agreement and took the lead in pulling the man back the way they came.

She had only walked a few steps when Lin An'an spotted a woman wearing a red armband on the street.

She immediately broke free from Gu Qingsong's hand and took a big step to the side.

Although they are a legally married couple, they cannot show affection in public, which Gu Qingsong finds quite objectionable.

He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was seething with resentment, thinking that once he got home, he would hold his hands as much as he wanted, and then see who would dare to interfere in his and his wife's affairs.

The woman wearing a red armband had sharp eyes as she walked down the street, carefully observing the pedestrians.

A girl who loved to dress up secretly tucked in her clothes at the waist, and was glared at fiercely by the older woman.

Terrified, he took off running.

Lin An'an and Gu Qingsong walked past each other at a great distance, their expressions serious and their eyes fixed straight ahead.

The older sister glanced at the two of them and nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, that's how it should be! These two look like good comrades!
