Chapter 14 Visitation

"That's a hurry, isn't it?" Guo Haodong questioned, "Although this is not a marriage in the real sense, even if it is a child playing 'playing house', it is too anxious, right?" We don't have anything to prepare. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Suqin looked confident and said, "You don't have to worry about this." Since Secretary Yang was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he began to handle his daughter's marriage. When he learned that you didn't have a girlfriend yet, he had already appointed you as his new aunt and bought a wedding house for his daughter. Now, he has not only renovated it, but also purchased all the household appliances, furniture and wedding supplies. You just need to take advantage of tomorrow's day to buy some clothes and jewelry for Nan Nan, and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. Then Nan Nan is officially your bride. ”

Guo Haodong still questioned with some disgust: "What about the wedding?" How can you notify all your friends and family in one day? In such a hurry, can you determine how many people will attend? How many tables do I need to book? ”

Li Suqin smiled indifferently: "Secretary Yang decided that everything should be simple at the wedding." He wouldn't invite a table of guests, and he asked us not to invite guests. He said, as a leading cadre, don't engage in extravagance and waste in the marriage of your children. The wedding between you and Nan Nan is just a simple ceremony for the two families, and then they go out to travel together for a while, even if the wedding and honeymoon are completed. ”

When Guo Haodong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "His style is like an honest cadre." But don't you think this kind of wedding doesn't look shabby? ”

Li Suqin smiled again: "As long as Secretary Yang can feel at ease, your father and I will be willing to put you upside down." ”

"He's at ease? Could my dad have any shortcomings in front of his boss? Guo Haodong muttered as if talking to himself.

"Haodong!" Li Suqin's face changed slightly, "Why do you think of your father like that?" He's also well-intentioned. Don't talk about your dad like that again. ”

Guo Haodong recalled that he was going to get married in the next day, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, if Lan Lan was about this, what should he think of himself?

He struggled for a while, and then couldn't help but question: "You seem to have designed everything." But are you sure you can convince me to agree? ”

Li Suqin restrained her previous smile at this time, and said quite solemnly: "Haodong, I know that you are a child full of love and a sense of justice, even if you wronged yourself once, you will fulfill the wish of an old man who is about to die." ”

Guo Haodong was not stunned by his mother's 'top hat', but said with a wry smile: "No matter whether the wedding is true or not, but at least it is ridiculous." Is Nan Nan also willing to do this? ”

Li Suqin also smiled bitterly: "Even if she feels wronged, she has no choice in order to appease her father." ”

"Secretary Yang, he's so confused!" Guo Haodong couldn't help but sigh, "He is like a feudal parent, how can he arrange the marriage of his children?" If he does this, he may ruin his daughter's happiness for the rest of his life. ”

Li Suqin's heart moved: "Haodong, if you really think about Nan Nan, it is better to really accept her and give her a lifetime of happiness..."

"It can't be!" Guo Haodong interrupted, "Lan Lan and I have already fallen in love. It is impossible to accept the feelings of other girls anymore. Even in front of Nan Nan, I have to show her that I already have a girl I like. ”

Li Suqin was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "This must not be!" ”

Guo Haodong was stunned and said: "What's the matter, since it's just 'fooling' Secretary Yang, does even Nan Nan have to deceive?" ”

Li Suqin blinked, and then explained: "Nan Nan will definitely not feel good in accepting such an arrangement. What would she think if she knew that you had other girls in mind to live with her? Does it make her feel like she's living in the same bed? ”

"What 'bedfellows'?" Guo Haodong said disapprenously, "It is impossible for me to 'share a bed' with her, even if I spend a few days with her." I had to make this clear to her before I got married. ”

"Okay then." Li Suqin said a little helplessly, "You two will talk alone together this afternoon." Although this marriage was arranged by Secretary Yang. But I also have to give you two a chance to communicate privately. Your father and I have already negotiated with Secretary Yang. This afternoon, I will go to you and Nan Nan to have a look at the new house. You two take the opportunity to talk alone. ”

"This afternoon?" Guo Haodong immediately shook his head, "No! ”

Li Suqin was surprised: "Why? ”

Guo Haodong explained: "Because I am going to Wangkui Township to visit Lanlan's parents in the afternoon. ”

"Can't you go without it?" Li Suqin showed a consultative tone.

"No way!" Guo Haodong shook his head, "I have already promised Lan Lan, and I also brought Lan Lan back from abroad to give her parents a gift." ”

Although Guo Tai excused himself for something, as soon as he walked into the study, he immediately left a crack in the door of the study and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation outside.

When he heard that his son was going to refuse to meet Nan Nan this afternoon, but was going to the countryside to meet Chen Lanlan's parents, he was so angry that he wanted to rush out, but he barely endured it. In order not to make things stiff, he can only rely on his wife to deal with his son.

Li Suqin looked embarrassed: "However, if you insist on going, the time will be very rushed." After all, tomorrow will be a tight time. Besides, it's unlikely that the two of you will have a chance to talk alone. ”

Guo Haodong looked very indifferent and said: "I don't care about this." But I have already promised Lan Lan that I must go to Wangkui Township to visit her parents this afternoon. ”

Although Li Suqin felt embarrassed, she knew that her son had given in enough, and it was impossible to force him to cancel his decision to go to Wangkui Township.

She thought for a moment, and then discussed with her son, "Since you have to go this afternoon, you should come back as soon as possible, okay?" ”

Guo Haodong asked rhetorically: "Wangkui Township is close to a hundred kilometers away from the city. What time do you want me to get back? ”

Li Suqin calculated: "Although it is far away, if you drive there, it will take you an hour and a half at most." Then, this round trip will take three hours. As long as you don't stay at Lanlan's house for too long, then there should be no problem to rush back at five o'clock in the afternoon, right? ”

Guo Haodong hesitated: "You let me meet her in the evening?" ”

Li Suqin looked very impatient: "What can be done about this?" This afternoon is the only chance for you and Nan Nan to meet alone. But if you insist on going to Lan Lan's house again, then I have to explain more to Secretary Yang and push back the time when the two of you will meet. ”

Guo Haodong pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay." That's it. ”

After Li Suqin reached an agreement with her son, she couldn't help but look up at the clock on the wall in the living room, and quickly got up to cook.

Guo Haodong also took the opportunity to prepare the gifts he brought when he went to Chen Lanlan's house. He recalled that he was going to 'marry' another girl, and he felt like he owed Chen Lanlan something, so he prepared a lot of gifts. This is not only the things he brought back from abroad, but also some of his family's collections (supplements that others honor his father).

Guo Tai finally walked out of the study. When he saw his son busy loading things in the living room, he couldn't help but walk over and said in surprise: "Haodong, why did you pack all the things you brought to me and your mother?" ”

Guo Haodong smiled indifferently: "You and my mother usually don't lack anything, and they don't need these things at all." Chen Lanlan's family is very difficult, her father suffers from rheumatism, and her mother has a bad heart all year round. I bring them back from abroad in the hope that they can help them 'help them in the snow', not 'icing on the cake' for you." ”

Guo Tai listened to his son's words, and his face couldn't help but sink, and he couldn't attack on the spot, so he walked to the kitchen with a sullen head...

"Our son is really a white-eyed wolf!" As soon as Guo Tai saw his wife, he scolded angrily, "He actually gave everything he brought back from abroad to his so-called future 'father-in-law' family." We raised him for nothing. ”

Li Suqin didn't think so, and said angrily while cooking: "Why are you so careful." Don't you think our son has done well? If he really loses his temper, then how will we end up? You should be glad that you have a sensible son. He now feels a little guilty about Chen Lanlan, so he wants to honor her parents more. This is normal. ”

"Really?" Guo Tai listened to his wife's explanation, and felt a lot more comfortable. Now that my son is able to follow their arrangements and enter the role he should play, this is more important than anything else.

Guo Tai finally walked back to the bedroom with peace of mind. As soon as he saw that his son was still looking for something to fill in the gift bags, he flatteringly took out two bottles of the famous wine he had treasured for many years, and handed them to his son, who was busy: "Give." Bring these two bottles of good wine to her dad. ”

Unexpectedly, Guo Haodong just glanced at the two bottles of wine, and said indifferently: "You better keep your baby for yourself." Lan Lan's father has been sick for many years and can't drink. ”

Guo Tai touched his nose, although he was angry with his son, he didn't dare to attack. Although he is the head of the family, he has a request for his son after all. He could only awkwardly carry the two bottles back to their place.

In order to be in a hurry, Guo Haodong didn't have time to take a lunch break, so he hurriedly picked up a few bites of lunch, loaded all the gifts he wanted to bring into the car, and drove out of the house...

"Haodong, you try to come back as soon as possible." Li Suqin chased out the door and shouted uneasily.

Guo Haodong drove with his head bored and did not respond to his mother. He was preoccupied at this time, and he did not have the nervousness and excitement of visiting his future father-in-law's house at all.

He drove an ordinary Beverly car. I bought it a year before I went abroad. I usually lie in the garage at home. Because my dad is picked up by bus to and from work, so is my mother.

He came back in a hurry, and he didn't properly wipe down the car that had been silent for several years. Just did a slight dusting treatment, and then drove it on the road.

On the road to Chen Lanlan's hometown, Guo Haodong can temporarily put this troublesome marriage aside. He is now full of Chen Lanlan. He felt like Chen Lanlan was sitting in the passenger seat on the side of his body. He couldn't help but look sideways...

However, he only glimpsed the scenery outside the window through the passenger cab.

However, he might as well reverie at this time - the girl he loved was sitting in that place. And seeing her 45-degree angle of the side face combined with the view outside the window, a feeling of happiness welled up in my heart. How he wished he could quietly feel this beauty with the girl in his memory! For helplessness, many people can only say that it is fate, and the faintly painful heart gets a trace of comfort. For those who have nothing, because they have no capital of love, they give up what they should give up. But for him, there are no such concerns. He has the capital to pursue the girl he wants. For those realists who don't want to entangle their emotions with life, they can only let go of pleasant emotions and feel the boring life, which is not something he can experience. Now, he forgets all his worries, enjoys the beauty of his beloved girl and the scenery outside the window, and paints a gorgeous picture in his mind.

During the drive, he was so imaginative that he didn't have too much trouble, just smiled sweetly and sighed at this magic.

After more than an hour of driving, all the gorgeous scenery of the wild is gone. The car's navigation takes him into a dilapidated village. His reverie finally came to an abrupt end.

"Is this Lan Lan's hometown? Why is it so dilapidated? When Guo Haodong entered the unbearable streets and alleys of this village, he couldn't help frowning and thinking.

Yes, not only are the streets badly damaged, but even the houses along the streets are in dilapidation, and there is not even a little life.

Car navigation can only help him so much. If he wants to touch Chen Lanlan's door in this village, he needs to inquire further.

It was early afternoon, and you could still encounter sparse villagers along the way.

Guo Haodong stopped the car, walked down, and smiled at an old man who came from a distance: "Uncle, where is Chen Lanlan's house?" ”

The old man stopped and questioned in half-baked Mandarin: "Which one is called Chen Lanlan?" ”

Guo Haodong suddenly realized that Chen Lanlan was a young girl, and the old people in the village might not know her tuba. recalled Chen Lanlan's words to herself, and then explained: "Her father's name is Chen Jingyuan. ”

"Oh, you mean Da Lanzi who went abroad to study?" The old man seemed to have a sudden realization.

Guo Haodong's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!" Can you tell me where her family lives? ”

The old man couldn't help but take a closer look at Guo Haodong, and saw that he was only as old as a dog, and he was also wearing fashionable clothes. In particular, he was wearing a striking white shirt, which was not at all symmetrical with this dilapidated environment.

"Young man, what is your relationship with Da Lanzi?" The old man stared at Guo Haodong's expression with suspicious eyes.

On the way here, Guo Haodong kept thinking about how to introduce his identity when he saw Lan Lan's parents and her ex-boyfriend. Now, as soon as I came into contact with Lanlan's fellow villagers, I was paid attention to.

He had to say vaguely: "I came from the country where Chen Lanlan studied, and I was entrusted by her to help her parents bring some gifts. ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but be pleased: "Oh, that's good. It's still that girl's filial piety. ”

Guo Haodong smiled pleasantly: "That's a must." ”

When he was about to inquire further about the detailed address of the Chen family, the old man suddenly asked, "Did Da Lanzi buy a gift for her object?" ”

Guo Haodong stared at the old man in surprise: "Why are you asking this?" Are you a relative of Lan Lan? ”

The old man shook his head indifferently: "I'm not." But the people in our village are worried that Da Lanzi has finally flown out of this poor place with the help of her object. Will she become a female Chen Shimei in the future? ”

When Guo Haodong heard this, his eyes were almost straight!
