Chapter 19: Chance Encounters

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Gu Xiaobei followed Liu Mei out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info: Because it is not far from the city, the two of them came out of the family home and took a bus for half an hour to the city center. The city is not large, and there are some shops on several main streets. They went to a department store.

Gu Xiaobei turned around, bought a pair of sweatpants, and bought two tops. I bought another pair of sneakers, and I thought that the sneakers with laces were comfortable to wear. Liu Mei watched from the side, she didn't say anything she bought, she had no opinions, and she didn't give advice.

Gu Xiaobei felt that shopping like this was really terrible, so he thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go back first, I'll go around casually by myself and take the bus back later." ”

Liu Mei listened, snorted, turned around and left. It seems that she is also quite uncomfortable shopping with herself.

After Liu Mei left, Gu Xiaobei felt much more comfortable, anyway, the city was not big, and he had a strong sense of direction, so he was not afraid of getting lost. Walk around, feel the urban atmosphere of this era, go back and wait for the baby, or come out and find something to do on your own.

On a street lined with plane trees on both sides, I found an E national restaurant. The two-storey E-style red building. Gu Xiaobei walked in, and it was full of decoration with the flavor of E country.

The sofa is high-backed, so you can't see the people behind you when you sit there. And the person opposite has become a small private space. After Gu Xiaobei sat down, a Chinese girl wearing the costume of country E came over with the menu. Gu Xiaobei swept his eyes and felt that he was not very hungry, so he asked for a salty Ora Jiyi, which was a kind of Russian-style muffin with beef liver. I asked for borscht again.

In addition to a few waiters in the restaurant, there is only one diner in Gu Xiaobei. Waiting for the things to be served, Gu Xiaobei tasted the cake, and was a little disappointed that the taste of the cake was hard, and the beef liver was old. It's not that good.

After thinking about it, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and two more people entered, a man and a woman. Gu Xiaobei looked up and was stunned, the man was obviously Zhao Heng. The woman is twenty-four or five years old, with big wavy curly hair, big eyes and a charming mouth. Wearing a bright red lipstick, it has a feeling of style. Zhao Heng just glanced at Gu Xiaobei and walked past her. Gu Xiaobei wanted to say hello, but when he saw Zhao Heng, he didn't even look at him. I gave up, thinking to myself, didn't I just stare at him a few times last time? As for the calculation of such a small nose and small eyes.

Gu Xiaobei finished eating and went out, turned around and saw Zhao Heng smiling very wickedly at the big wave beauty through the window. It's not like Zhao Heng who drank and talked with Lu Zhan Guo when she was at her house.

Gu Xiaobei sneered, the man was inferior, and when he saw the beauties, he became frivolous, and shook his head and left.

Zhao Heng naturally saw Gu Xiaobei, but now that he was on a mission, he disguised his identity, so naturally he couldn't come forward to greet Gu Xiaobei. Fortunately, Gu Xiaobei didn't come up to speak. It wasn't until Gu Xiaobei went out that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xiaobei walked around the street for a while, and saw that there was really nothing to buy, so he walked to the bus stop and prepared to take the bus home.

Back home, Liu Mei has not returned, only Chen Qiumei is knitting sweaters on the sofa. Seeing Gu Xiaobei coming back, he put down his work, "What about your sister-in-law, she didn't go out with you, did she leave you halfway and run away by herself?" ”

"No, my sister-in-law has something, I'll come back first." Gu Xiaobei said

"Hmph, I don't know what's so good about this Liu Mei, after so many years of marriage, she can't give birth to a boy and a girl." Chen Qiumei has a big opinion about not being able to have children.

"It's not necessarily a woman's problem not to have children, let my brother check it too"

"Aren't you the most disagreeable with Liu Mei? Why do you still help her talk today? Chen Qiumei looked at Gu Xiaobei in surprise.

"I'm here to help my relatives." Gu Xiaobei said and picked up the sweater that Chen Qiumei had knitted half-knitted, "Mom, you teach me to knit a sweater, and I will knit one for the Warring States when I go back." ”

"Okay, it just so happens that I bought a lot of threads, and then I can find you a sweater needle and you can practice."

Liu Mei didn't come back until before dinner, and went into the house after eating. And Gu Xiaodong hasn't come back at ten o'clock.

"Why didn't my brother come home so late?" Gu Xiaobei asked Chen Qiumei.

"Who knows, he is a logistics cadre sitting in the office, and he goes home in the middle of the night every day." Chen Qiumei is accustomed to saying.

Chen Qiumei looked at the time, got up and went to the kitchen, came in with a bowl of white fungus red date soup, and said, "Come, drink this, it's good to drink more of this when you have the body." ”

Gu Xiaobei took it happily, it was good to have my mother's concern, and took a sip and said, "Mom, your stew is so delicious." ”

"If you don't pat yourself on the back, you have the least conscience, you don't even send a letter to your family when you get married, and you don't know if you can eat enough outside." Chen Qiumei began to dig through old accounts again.

Gu Xiaobei laughed and coaxed Chen Qiumei, and then heard the door of the living room ring, and then after a while, there was a quarrel from the next bedroom.

After a while, I heard the living room door slam. "Mom, aren't you going out to have a look?" Gu Xiaobei looked at Chen Qiumei, who didn't have a worried look at all.

"Look, they're like this for three days. Your sister-in-law slammed the door and went out, your brother is afraid of his wife who has no interest, and when he goes to coax him tomorrow, the two of them will be fine. Chen Qiumei looked angry.

Gu Xiaobei secretly wondered: Where is the fear of his wife, is he afraid of losing his wife's backer. If you want to say that they are true love, Gu Xiaobei doesn't believe it.

Sure enough, before dinner the next day, Gu Xiaodong and Liu Mei came back together. Liu Mei still had a rare touch of shyness on her face.

For a few nights, Chen Qiumei would stew white fungus red date soup for Gu Xiaobei. Gu Xiaobei was really a little disgusting, and seeing that Chen Qiumei went to serve it again in the evening, Gu Xiaobei also followed into the kitchen.

The light bulb was not very bright, but Gu Xiaobei still saw a handful of red flowers on the silver-white stove?

"Mom, did you put saffron in the soup?" Gu Xiaobei felt that his voice was about to change.

When Chen Qiumei saw the red flowers on the stove, she flashed a trace of panic, and quickly said calmly, "You kid, what are you talking about, it was your sister-in-law who boiled water to drink, and she was cold." Gu Xiaobei didn't see Chen Qiumei flustered. Feel like I'm making a bit of a fuss. How could his own mother harm the child in her belly. Besides, I've been drinking it for a few days, and I don't feel any discomfort.

Gu Xiaobei said embarrassedly, "Mom, safflower is to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, I'm afraid you don't know, I'm pregnant now, I can't drink this." ”

"I don't know that, you know." Chen Qiumei said angrily. "Okay, let's drink and go to bed." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
