Chapter Ninety-Three: Yuen Long Mooncakes
Before he returned to Guangzhou, He Shenge received invitations from several universities to attend one of the lecturers at the lecture of successful professionals.
She excitedly called to tell Gu Lance about it.
"Shen Ge, I'm preparing for the spring recruitment, I don't have time to accompany you for the time being, your career progress has reached an extreme, either maintain the status quo or take the opportunity to change. ”
"Changing careers again, but I think I'm fine now, and I've finally achieved the freedom I wanted. ”
"Yes, it's freedom, you don't have to think of food travel as your job anymore, you turn it back to a hobby, where you want to play, where you want to eat, then go as you like, don't worry about anything, no money, I have, or you can write an article and submit it to the publishing house, with your current reputation, there will be a lot of people buying your book." ”
"Then I'll give you a speech, do you want to come and listen to my first speech?"
"Go, listen to it anyway, you send me the time, and I'll drive you to the scene. ”
He Shenge accepted invitations from several universities in Guangzhou to attend a career talk, starting with her career as a wandering food travel blogger who abandoned her stable job as a teacher.
As a result, her speech was sought after by many people in the university, especially students from the School of Catering and the School of Tourism Management, and even some schools wanted to hire He Shenge as an external teacher of the college, but He Shenge refused, on the grounds that since she was away from the podium and went to the world, then she would not look back.
After the presentation, there will be a Q&A session.
A female classmate stood up and asked, "May I ask Miss Shen Ge, who is your mysterious boyfriend?" We are all very curious, you are really happy, someone makes you breakfast every day." ”
"I also feel very happy. He Shenge looked at a corner of the first row of the audience.
The gaffer seemed to be very good at capturing the focal point, and immediately focused the light on the audience that He Shenge could see, that is, Gu Lance.
He Shenge couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Qi's appearance appear on the big screen: "Classmate, I'm sorry, my boyfriend doesn't know if he wants to expose himself, if he is willing, I will definitely blow up another day." ”
Next, He Shenge answered a few more students' questions, and the host announced that the question session was over.
He Shenge was wearing high heels, standing a little tired, and he couldn't wait to get off the stage to rest.
But.
"Miss He, may I ask you that you have eaten so many delicacies and been to so many places, which place do you think has delicacies that you want to have all the time?" the host suddenly asked.
She looked at the man in the audience with a slightly curved mouth, and said with a firm gaze: "Our home." ”
A person will meet a lot of people in his life, some of them are passers-by who leave a surprise in their hearts at a quick glance, and some people are the destination that can only be reached after watching the vicissitudes of life.
Approaching the end of February, He Shenge just wrote his career into a workplace inspirational book.
happened to be published on the day Linlin called her and said, "Shen Ge, I'm getting married." ”
He Shenge, who was staring at the printer, looked shocked: "Didn't you say that you won't get married?"
"I met someone who wanted to get married. ”
"Shi Phosphorus?"
"Hmm. ”
"When will you get married?"
"The certificate has been obtained, and the wedding has been postponed to next year. ”
He Shenge took the sample handed over by the editor, walked to the balcony, felt very strange in his heart, and asked, "Why?"
"I'm eight months pregnant. ”
"Oh my God, we haven't seen each other for eight months, the last time I went to Shanghai, I thought I would look for you by the way, but then I forgot about it because of family matters. ”
"yes, why don't you come and see me?"
"Go, I'll book a ticket to Shanghai to find you now. ”
Linlin smiled at the other end: "You have to be mentally prepared, because I have a big belly now, which is inconvenient, and the people in my family are not used to big cities, so it is considered a toss for me to let my mother come over to take care of her." ”
"Then I'll just pull it over and let my aunt rest. ”
"Actually, you can't stay long, I want you to accompany me to the Great Rift Valley in Ethiopia to take wedding photos, my mother has never been out, I'm afraid of losing it, and I can't find anyone, but it's hard for you, help me get dressed when the time comes." ”
"No problem, I'd love to, but are you sure you ran this far with a big belly to take wedding photos?"
"You don't know, I've always wanted to go abroad to take wedding photos. ”
"Well, anyway, Shi Liyi is doing real estate, and there is money. ”
He Shenge is helpless about her best friend's unique wedding photos, but it doesn't matter if her husband is rich and can toss, as long as she is happy.
So she went to Ethiopia with her best friend, her best friend's husband, and the wedding dress team.
After more than ten days of shooting in Ethiopia, the first stop of the girlfriend's wedding photo trip was Kenya.
There are thousands of flamingos in Lake Bergeria, as well as giraffe park, which is a must-visit for Linlin, who loves flamingos, and Shi Liyi seems to like giraffes.
It's just that there is no food in Kenya, and for He Shenge, there is no temptation, but she has to accompany her, Linlin has a big belly, and she needs help in all aspects, and it is not bad to be able to follow and see the scenery for free.
The original voyage was scheduled to fly from Ethiopia to Kenya on March 10, exactly in the early morning of the 9th.
As soon as He Shenge sat down at the dinner table, and as soon as he ate two or three bites of pancakes, his stomach stirred, and a feeling of nausea came up.
She immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up.
"Shen Ge, are you not accustomed to the water and soil? I see that you have been throwing up every day during this time, and you have to run around with me, you have lost a lot of weight, do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?" Linlin patted her back worriedly.
"It's okay, I'll just drink some water. ”
He Shenge thought it was a trivial matter and didn't care, and just as he was about to get in the car and go to the airport, He Shenge, who was carrying his luggage, suddenly fainted.
Shi Liyi hurriedly sent He Shenge to the local hospital.
When He Shenge woke up and found that the sky was a little hazy, she looked at the wedding photographer sitting next to her, and her dry voice caused her voice to be a little quiet.
The photographer hurriedly handed her a glass of water to drink.
He Shenge took a sip of water and asked, "What about Linlin and them?"
"The bride was scared by you, her mood swings were too great, she suddenly gave birth prematurely, and she was still in the delivery room. ”
"Then I'm going to go over and have a look. He Shenge immediately got up and got out of bed.
"You are a pregnant woman, don't toss. ”
These words hit He Shenge like thunder, she was stunned and looked at the photographer in a daze: "Who do you say is a pregnant woman?"
"You, don't you know you're more than three months pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant?"
"Yes, the doctor told you not to overexert yourself, otherwise the placenta will be unstable. ”
He Shenge was shocked for a while, then picked up her mobile phone, and wanted to call Gu Lance, but after thinking about it, she still put down her mobile phone and simply surprised her uncle.
At about two o'clock in the morning on the 10th, my best friend gave birth to a boy, and when I heard the doctor say that the mother and child were safe, He Shenge breathed a sigh of relief.
After Linlin returned to the delivery room, after seeing her child for the first time, Shi Li took the child away and asked He Shenge to talk to Linlin.
"Linlin, you're awesome, you gave birth to a chubby boy for nothing. He Shenge carefully wiped Linlin's sweat with a tissue.
Linlin's tone was a little weak: "You, how are you?"
"I'm fine, I fainted because I was pregnant, and I'm going to have a baby like you. ”
Linlin's pale lips curled slightly: "It seems that you are going to experience this kind of pain as well." ”
"Well, I didn't expect that I had an uncle's child. He Shenge said, tears fell to the ground.
"After all, he is your beloved. Linlin held He Shenge's hand: "You go back to China, get married quickly, take wedding photos with a big belly, it's really ugly." ”
He Shenge sneered: "You really are." ”
"Didn't I say before, if you want to be a good wife and mother, I will be your bridesmaid, and I can be your bridesmaid before I am married. ”
"You didn't say you wanted to be a strong woman and make a lot of money, and in the end, you had all your children. ”
"I didn't expect that. Linlin looked at the white ceiling and recalled her youth.
There is also a person in her youth, but life will tell you that the good is left in the past.
"I'll wait until you're better before I go back. He Shenge said.
"No matter what I say, I have to raise it for ten days before I return to China, you go back first, tell Gu Lance. ”
He Shenge was a little hesitant, because she really wanted to fly back to tell Gu Qi the good news, and at the same time felt guilty about her best friend.
Linlin knew her thoughts and said, "My mother-in-law and mother have come to take care of her, you go back to drink tonic soup to nourish your body first, don't starve the little guy in your belly." ”
So He Shenge bought a flight back to China.
On the Chinese side, Gu Li, who is recruiting talents, is dressed in a formal suit and has a cold and serious expression: "Give you five hours to make a complete Guangzhou street food plan, which must have a food review after tasting the food yourself, the specific address of the store and how to get there." ”
The five energetic fresh graduates standing in front of him immediately took a piece of paper and went out one after another to look for food.
After sending off the interview students, Xia Chu asked: "When they come back, it will take four or five hours, should we go out for a meal?"
"It depends on what the boss wants. Wang Xuan looked at the ancient lance.
Gu Lance glanced at them, and didn't speak coldly, how could he go out to eat at such an important moment?
Xu Qing, who has been with Gu Lance for the longest time, flipped through the Meituan on his mobile phone disapplausively: "I remember that last time Shen Ge said that there is a Hong Kong-style teahouse near here, and the food is okay." ”
Gu Lance was slightly moved: "Where is it? If it's not far away, let's go and taste it." ”
"It's right in front of Wanda Plaza. ”
"Then let's have a meal first, everyone has worked hard. Gu Lance was the first to get up and leave.
Wang Xuan and Xia Chu glanced at each other, and said with an epiphany: "It turns out that you only need to mention the boss lady." ”
Gu and the rest of the company's employees went to a nearby Hong Kong-style teahouse for lunch, and while they were ordering, the TV in the corner of the teahouse was reporting the midday news, which said that Ethiopian flight 737-800 to Kenya had crashed that morning.
As soon as the people heard Ethiopia, they laughed and said, "Isn't the boss lady in that place too?" Boss, when will the boss come back?"
They looked at Gu Lance and found that Gu Lance's expression was wrong, and their playful laughter was immediately stopped.
Gu Lance got up and went outside to call He Shenge, at this time He Shenge had already entered the plane, and the mobile phone turned on the airplane mode.
Xu Qing came out of the teahouse and saw the somewhat flustered Gu Lance, she felt a little uneasy, and stepped forward to ask, "Gu Da, what's wrong with you?"
"You eat, I have to go back to the company beforehand. ”
All afternoon, Gu Lance sat in the office and couldn't sit still, and he flipped through the WeChat chat history.
The message He Shenge sent him on WeChat was the flight during this time period.
What should he do, how did he agree to her going there in the first place? Should have stopped her! He shouldn't have been busy with this damn interview at all, he should have accompanied her!
He grabbed his hair angrily and anxiously, and suddenly remembered that he had her best friend's phone, and hurriedly called Luo Linlin.
Coincidentally, Luo Linlin's mobile phone was left in the hotel, she and Shi Liyi were both in the hospital, no one answered, and after a long ring, the phone stopped.
Gu Lance couldn't get through the phone, annoyed and blamed himself, he looked at the blue sky, and begged in his heart to go to the sky, don't let her get on the plane!
At this time, He Mu called him: "Ah Li, the auspicious day has been chosen, and it is set on the seventh day of July." ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
"Ah Li, is Shen Ge with you?"
"She. Gu Li guessed that He Mu didn't know that He Shenge had gone to Ethiopia, and she also went very suddenly at that time, just notifying him on WeChat.
In order not to worry His mother, he lied: "She went to Guangzhou University to give a speech." ”
"This child, why is she so uneasy! Ah Qi, when she comes back, you take her to the hospital. ”
"Hospital?" Gu Lance was stunned.
Mother He thought to herself, these two children are not worrying, and they don't worry about their own affairs, so they told Gu Lance about their speculation: "Some time ago, when Shen Ge came back, she vomited everything she ate, and she had no appetite, she didn't care about herself, I think, she should be pregnant, you take her to see, I should be right." ”
Hearing this, Gu Qi couldn't sit still, and his voice was a little flustered: "Okay, I still know, aunt." ”
He recalled that after He Shenge returned to Guangzhou from Shantou, his appetite became very good, especially sour, and he loved to lie in bed more and more.
If she and her child have any strengths and weaknesses, what's the use of making so much money by herself?
Gu Qi was in a hurry, and when he saw that the employees were back, he immediately ran out and stopped Lu Qi: "Hurry up and book me a ticket to Ethiopia, the sooner the better!"
At this time, Xu Qing ran over and said, "There was a Chinese woman in that wrecked flight, Gu Da, Shen Ge, isn't it?"
"No, impossible. Gu Lance's whole heart hung and he immediately ran out.
He thought all over his mind that he wanted to see He Shenge! he must see her! he wanted to see her standing in front of him, telling him that he was hungry and wanted him to cook.
Xu Qing saw the out-of-control Gu Lance, and immediately understood, she immediately asked Xiao Duo and Xia Chu to be responsible for the follow-up of today's interview, and asked Lu Qi to hurry up and buy a plane ticket.
On the way to the airport, the rain was pouring down, thunder was blowing, and the heavens seemed to be crying.
Gu Lance held his mobile phone anxiously, and persevered in calling He Shenge, trying his best to contact more people, as long as he could see He Shenge, a stupid woman.
He trembled all over, thinking of the past with He Shenge.
This woman, she rarely loses her temper, rarely coquettish, she is always so gentle, always understands him, always tolerates him, and carries everything alone.
He regretted that he didn't spoil her as a child, regretted how he didn't spend more time with her, and always let her travel alone, the taste of traveling alone, he understood, that feeling was actually very lonely.
Lu Qi called and said, "Boss, the ticket is booked, eight o'clock in the evening." ”
At this end, He Shenge just got off the plane and found that Gu Qi had called her a lot, why did this person suddenly call him so much?
She dialed back and found that the ancient lance was on the call.
Forget it, it's raining so hard, and he still won't let him pick him up, he should still be busy with interviews in the company, right?
In the heavy rain, as soon as the taxi He Shenge was sitting in drove away, Gu Lance drove over.
Fate is sometimes a naughty child.
When he returned home, He Shenge was brewing the coffee he brought back from Ethiopia, thinking that Gu Lance always likes to drink coffee when he works in the company at night, and when he arrived in Ethiopia, he also said on WeChat that most of the coffee in the world comes from Ethiopia.
He's going to love this coffee, right?
But it's half past seven, the coffee is cold, and Gu Lance hasn't come home yet.
He Shenge thought that he was still working overtime in the company, so she secretly sent a text message and asked, "Uncle, are you still working overtime?"
As soon as the text message was successfully sent, the next second, Gu Lance's call came.
"Where? Where are you? Tell me, where are you? Are you in Ethiopia?"
The volume of the ancient lance on the other end of the mobile phone was particularly loud, his tone was short, and he kept panting, as if he was shouting with his life.
He Shenge was taken aback by his anxious tone, didn't dare to lie, and said timidly: "I'm at home." ”
Gu Lance touched the sweat and tears on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't help crying.
She seemed to hear a choked sound on the other end of the phone, and asked a little puzzledly, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Qi took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice as steady as possible: "You stay at home, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will go back now, don't go out, you know?"
"Well, I'll be waiting for you at home. ”
At about half past nine in the evening, Gu Qi opened the door of the house, smelled the smell of coffee all over the house, looked for the shadow of He Shenge, and found that she was sleeping on the sofa, the movie "Roman Holiday" was still playing on the TV, and the coffee pot in the kitchen was boiling.
Relieved, he went inside and turned off the kettle, then turned off the television, reaching out to the hair on her forehead.
He Shenge felt the changes in the light very sensitively, vigilantly covered her stomach and woke up, when she saw that it was Gu Lance, she happily spread her hands and hugged Gu Lance's neck: "Uncle, I thought you wouldn't come back." ”
I almost thought you wouldn't come back.
Gu Lance hid these words in his stomach forever, stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly, the joy of being lost and regained, the steadiness of being thrown into the air and returning to the earth, instantly occupied his heart.
He Shenge suddenly remembered that she was still making coffee, and she let go of her hand: "Uncle, I made coffee just now, and I brought coffee beans back from Ethiopia, I'll pour you a cup to taste." ”
He hugged her tightly, sunk his face into her neck and shoulders, and sniffed the fragrance from her: "No, I still want to hug you." ”
He Shenge urged: "I'll hug it later, I have a surprise for you." ”
Gu Lance buried her face in her hair and said childishly, "No, I don't want to let go." ”
He Shenge smiled: "We only saw each other for half a year before, and I didn't see you think of me like this, but now we have only been separated for half a month." ”
"I miss you, so much. ”
"Then you can hold it. He Shenge let him hold him.
After hugging him for a long time, He Shenge almost thought he was asleep: "Uncle, you shouldn't be asleep, right?"
"Nope. Gu Lance changed his position, continued to hold her, and asked, "Why did you suddenly return to China?"
He Shenge told him about his best friend's premature birth.
Gu Lance finally let go of her: "Let me taste your coffee." ”
He Shenge poured him a cup, and when Gu Xing drank coffee, He Shenge gently stroked his eyebrows and eyes with his hand, and his eyes showed a sad look: "Why have you become haggard? It's only been half a month, have you always stayed up late and worked overtime? Your eyes are red and swollen." ”
Gu Lance put down the coffee, took her hand, then smiled and said, "This coffee is a little bitter." ”
He Shenge agreed, saying: "When I first started drinking, I wasn't used to it, and I can taste a hint of sweetness when I taste it slowly, believe me." ”
As she spoke, she was about to pour herself a cup of coffee, but Gu Qi immediately moved the coffee pot away and said solemnly, "You are not allowed to drink coffee in the future." ”
"Why?"
Gu Lance pulled her into his arms, attached it to her ear, and asked her softly, "Do you have anything to explain to me?" He Shenge smiled lightly, put Gu Lance's hand on her stomach, and then said: "It seems that you already know the surprise I flew back to give you." ”
Gu Lance kissed her on the cheek, pretending to be ignorant and said, "I don't know, what is your surprise?"
He Shenge looked up at him and smiled: "Congratulations to Mr. Gu Lance on being about to win the title of Dad." ”
Gu Lance tapped her skull with his hand and reproached: "I still drink coffee when I know I'm pregnant?"
After being pregnant, He Shenge no longer goes to work, but hones her cooking skills at home, writes and publishes her food travels in books, and occasionally travels.
Gu Lance gradually let go of the company's affairs to the people below, no longer doing everything himself, but spending more time by He Shenge's side.
In this regard, He Shenge felt very strange, she didn't understand why Gu Lance became so clingy to her, but she felt very happy, the two of them finally had time to get tired of being together, reading books and movies together, or traveling together, probably, she would never know the day of the Ethiopian plane accident.
The pain and sadness of Gu Lance waiting from the afternoon to the dark at the airport, I don't know how Gu Lance cried bitterly when a big man hid in the toilet and looked at her photo, I don't know that after Gu Lance received her call when he was about to board the plane, he was overjoyed and kept cheering like a madman in front of everyone in the airport, and I didn't know his desperate feelings of running a red light all the way to the airport and running a red light all the way home.
But He Shenge understands the difficulty of the ancient lance, understands the good of the ancient lance, understands that there are many variables in life, and must cherish what he has now.
At the end of February 2019, they went to Sanya to attend the wedding of He Shenge's best friend Luo Linlin, and this time Gu Lance wrote down the mobile phone number of her best friend's husband, in case the two of them could not be contacted one day, and they could also contact the other person.
Soon, they will also take wedding photos, and the venue is booked in He Shenge's favorite Taiwan, because there are many Taiwanese foods.
At the beginning of April, the breeze is cool and refreshing.
At Zhushan Station, He Shenge, who was wearing a red wedding dress, was supported by Wang Xuan, looking for the ancient lance all the way.
was supposed to change dresses together, but when she came out, she couldn't find Gu Lance.
At this time, the red sightseeing train came, and the train was decorated with a lot of bouquets.
"Shen Ge, why don't we take the sightseeing train to find Gu Da?" Xu Qing suggested.
"Okay. ”
Xu Qing helped He Shenge get into the car.
Suddenly, He Shenge caught a glimpse of his parents and the Qilin.
"Mom, Dad, Qilin, why are you here too?" He Shenge was a little surprised.
"Gege, you want to be happy. As He Mu spoke, she handed a pink rose in her hand to He Shenge.
Immediately afterwards, Dad He and Qilin also said a word each, and then handed her the pink rose in their hands.
She vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to think so.
"Deep song, the flower language of the pink rose is to hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son. Xu Qing reminded.
He Shenge's heart moved.
Subsequently, the little train stopped all the way, and every acquaintance who knew each other got on the train, and they would take a pink rose.
At first, it was He Shenge's parents, then classmates, and then Shen Xiuyan.
"I didn't expect to see you wearing a wedding dress, but not at my wedding. Shen Xiuyan's tone was still cold.
Just when Shen Xiuyan stretched out the flower to He Shenge.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept your flowers. ”
"Hmm. Shen Xiuyan took the rose and got into the car.
These acquaintances seem to get on the train in the order of their appearances, until the car is full, and she can no longer hold the bouquet in her hand, so she can only hold it.
Shen Xiuyan next to him looked at the pink rose in his hand, smiled self-deprecatingly, and wanted to throw it away, but Lawyer He next to him snatched the flower from his hand, and said with a smile: "Ah Yan, your flowers can only be given to me." ”
"Hmm. Shen Xiuyan looked at her as if she had won a treasure, and was slightly moved.
Xu Qing, who was sitting next to him, took his own pink rose from Ku Tou's hand and stretched it out in front of He Shenge, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Shenge, in fact, I haven't had any friends since I was a child, and I'm really happy to be your friend." ”
Eventually, the sightseeing train stopped at the cherry blossom garden.
Gu Xing, dressed in a dark blue suit, walked out of a cherry blossom tree, he came to the front of the train, stretched out his hand to He Shenge, and showed that hearty and clean smile: "He Shenge, get off the train, I will accompany you on the way back." ”
At that moment, He Shenge's heart throbbed.
Xu Qing secretly whispered, "Gu Da has always wanted to make up a perfect marriage proposal for you. ”
He Shenge's eyes were a little moist, and he nodded again and again.
She lifted the wedding dress and was about to get out of the car, but she didn't let Xu Qingfu her, but handed all the pink roses in her hand to Xu Qing: "Qingqing, you and Kutou should be good." ”
Then, she got out of the car cautiously by herself, and then, calmly and calmly, walked step by step towards the man in front of her.
It was this man, a man with a sunny smile, who brought warmth to her world little by little, and thought it was about to come, but after experiencing the ups and downs of life, she found that she really liked this man and relied on him very much.
Some things may not taste the first bite when you first eat them, but after a few tastes, you will find that your taste buds are only used to the taste.
When she walked in front of Gu Lance, Gu Lance knelt down on one knee, lifted the small square box, opened it, and he smiled and burst into tears: "He Shenge, the world is so big, it's not easy to meet you, can you, can you make me your wife, oh, no, can you make me your legal guardian, no!"
It may be that he is nervous, and the always calm Gu Lance becomes incoherent.
Originally, He Shenge was so moved that he almost cried, but when he made such a fuss, he immediately burst into tears and laughed: "Gu Lance, I want to marry you, and I accept your proposal." ”
"Why are you so fast? shouldn't you be reserved?" said Gu Lance with a smile.
"Hold on to what, your son is hungry and needs to eat!"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Yuen Long mooncakes. ”
"That's only in Hong Kong, and it's only April, not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
"I'm going to eat. ”
"Okay, don't take wedding photos now, go to Hong Kong to buy mooncakes. ”
