Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

The children were momentarily confused.

I don't know why my mom, who was just playing with me a moment ago, suddenly disappeared.

Fortunately, she didn't cry or fuss; she quickly started waving her little arms and playing by herself.

Suddenly, the older brother touched something beside him, reached out and scooped up a small piece of paper.

The older brother curiously crumpled the small piece of paper and held it up to his eyes to examine it closely.

Seeing this, Lin An'an excitedly patted Gu Qingsong's arm repeatedly and whispered a reminder: "Look! He succeeded, he caught it!"

Gu Qingsong responded cooperatively.

A little while later, my younger sister also grabbed a small piece of paper, cried out, and tried to put it in her mouth to taste it carefully.

Lin An'an immediately rushed forward, took the crumpled paper from their hands, and carefully unfolded it to examine it.

The brother caught the one written by Lin An'an as "Gu Yun Shen," while the sister caught the one written by Gu Qingsong as "Gu Zhi Chu."

Lin An'an held the two small slips of paper like treasures, reading them aloud several times, becoming more and more satisfied with each reading.

He happily made the decision: "These are the two names!"

Lin An'an lay back down beside the children, calling their names over and over again, her joy visibly evident.

The children were very happy to see their mother back, smiling and talking to them. Their smiles were so wide they showed their teeth.

Gu Qingsong continued tidying up his things, glancing back at his wife and children on the kang (heated brick bed) from time to time, his expression gentle.

Before meeting Lin An'an, he had always been a loner, quietly guarding his spacious and empty house, year after year.

The villagers were jealous of the good life he had enjoyed and that he still lives in a big house.

But only he knew that since the misfortune that befell his family, it felt like there was a void in his heart, and the main tone of his life had always been gloomy and desolate.

He lived like a walking corpse, keeping the promise he made to his grandfather before his death.

Even though he was strong enough to grow up and prepared plenty of firewood to keep the house warm in winter, Gu Qingsong still felt uneasy.

Living alone in this big house, I didn't feel the cozy and warm feeling I had imagined before I started using a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed).

Later, he gradually became less afraid of the cold.

Even in the freezing cold, he could carry goods on his back and walk continuously for an entire night.

His brothers who knew him admired him greatly, but Gu Qingsong didn't think much of it; he was already used to it.

During those years, Gu Qingsong was somewhat numb and never imagined that he would have such a happy day.

Whenever he thinks about this, he feels incredibly fortunate.

Actually, the first time he saw Lin An'an was on the day Lin An'an came to the village.

The thin girl, carrying a heavy backpack, walked slowly along with the group of educated youth going to the countryside.

Gu Qingsong had never seen a fairy and didn't know what a real fairy looked like.

But in his imagination, fairies must be the most beautiful women in the world.

The setting sun shone on Lin An'an, as if gilding her with a warm golden light.

Judging from Lin An'an's condition at the time, she was undoubtedly somewhat disheveled after several days of long journey.

But after seeing her, Gu Qingsong could no longer see anyone else.

Everyone else, regardless of gender, became a blurry background; only Lin An'an shone brightly in the whole world.

Gu Qingsong thought at the time that a fairy should be like Lin An'an, right?
