Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Seeing his son's mature demeanor, Gu Qingsong's expression softened.

Sometimes he felt a sense of disbelief.

Let's not go into too much detail, let's just talk about five years ago.

Five years ago at this time, he was still living in the village wearing the label of a landlord's descendant.

Every night, they conducted their black market business cautiously, not daring to reveal any flaws.

People who do business on the black market are usually severely punished if they are caught engaging in speculation and profiteering.

Others might have had the opportunity to go to a farm for labor reform, but he was different.

Given his status, if he gets caught, he'll likely face certain death.

They were truly risking their lives for money.

Therefore, he has to work harder and be more cautious than others.

They were exhausted at night and couldn't get a proper rest. During the day, in order to avoid suspicion, they had to go to the poorest part of the brigade to work and farm every single day.

Sometimes when I'm busy, it's common to not be able to sleep in bed for several days in a row.

Looking back now, Gu Qingsong doesn't know how he managed to persevere all those years.

Throughout those long years, he only thought about how to survive and never dared to hope that he could get married in this lifetime, let alone have children.

When did everything start to change?

It seems to have started after I met Lin An'an.

The landlord label that had imprisoned Gu Qingsong for more than ten years indirectly caused the greatest pain of his first half of life to be removed.

This heavy hat once weighed him down as a child, making it hard for him to breathe. It was like an insurmountable mountain, plunging him into endless pain and depression.

After it was finally removed, Gu Qingsong felt an unprecedented sense of ease and relief.

Businesses operating in the black market can now be brought into the open and conducted openly in the sunlight.

Those days of sneaking around and hiding are gone forever. Gu Qingsong can now run his business openly and honestly, without having to worry about being discovered.

Most importantly, he has a family now.

That warm and loving home made Gu Qingsong feel true happiness.

He was no longer lonely or adrift. With his family by his side, he felt that life had become more beautiful and fulfilling.

Gu Qingsong cherishes this hard-won happiness and hopes that his family will always be filled with love and harmony.

All this thinking actually happened in a split second.

Gu Qingsong lowered his head and patted his son's fluffy little head, then smiled and greeted Lin Jincheng and the other two.

Gu Qingsong declined the Wang Aiguo couple's warm invitation to come in for tea, bowing slightly.

Smiling, he asked the girl in Wu Xiuli's arms, "Say goodbye to Daddy?"

Waawa immediately put on a serious expression, waved to her father in a solemn tone, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Goodbye, Daddy~"

This is something her mother taught her; she does this every time she says goodbye to someone, as if it were a mysterious ritual.

Gu Qingsong felt a surge of warmth as he watched Wa Wa's innocent and adorable actions.

At first, it was just a case of loving someone because of their love for each other. Because he loved Lin An'an so much, he was particularly fond of the child she gave birth to.

However, as time went by, Gu Qingsong's love for the children grew stronger day by day, and the children's status in his heart gradually increased.

Gu Qingsong watched the children grow up little by little, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Every day after get off work, he couldn't wait to see the children, listen to their stories about school, and share their joys and sorrows.

When the children affectionately called him "Dad," he felt the warmth and happiness of family even more deeply.

Gu Qingsong smiled gently and, mimicking the "wawa" gesture, waved goodbye to the children.

He needed to finish his work as soon as possible so he could pick up the children and go find his wife.

Although they had only been apart for a short time, he couldn't wait to see Lin An'an again.

This deep attachment became the source of his motivation to work hard.
