Chapter 377: The Times

After that weekend, Zhou Wanwan never went back to Shen Guodong alone. She went to him, and he was not particularly happy, on the contrary, there seemed to be a faint rejection.

This kind of rejection is well hidden, if it weren't for Zhou Wanwan knowing him too well and getting along with him day and night for so many years, he wouldn't have found it at all.

What he rejects is not Zhou Wanwan as a person, nor does he get along with her, but the fact that Zhou Wanwan went to him alone, which is the result of Zhou Wanwan's repeated exploration and temptation.

No matter how much they tried to forget or cover it up, the words that Shen Guodong heard that day still left traces on their relationship.

They're not the same as they used to be. This is a fact that has to be admitted.

This is not something that can be completely solved by Zhou Wanwan by using a little trick to push him forward, and Zhou Wanwan is not naΓ―ve enough to think that this matter can pass without a trace.

When she wanted to work harder to manage their relationship as Zhou Chen said, trying to make some changes in their way of getting along and showing more concern for him, she found that her way Shen Guodong didn't like it.

Two people get along, there is always a best way for them to get along, this is not a mathematical formula, as long as the conditions are met, it will be applicable to the world.

So Zhou Wanwan doesn't think this is a difficult thing to solve, if Shen Guodong doesn't like her way, then it's better to change it, anyway, she doesn't have to do it.

They are only now really entering the run-in period of lovers, and no matter how harmonious they used to get along, they were more brother and sister relationships, which cannot be completely applied to the current relationship.

Zhou Wanwan has been trying to maintain the previous mode of getting along with the two of them since that time, and she has not found a better way. But at least she knows what's bad, so there's no better option than to maintain the status quo.

Zhou Wanwan also tried to find out where Shen Guodong's inexplicable rejection came from. But in the end, I gave up.

No one can fully understand another person, and sometimes we can't even figure out what we really think, and it is really very futile and undesirable to speculate about another person's heart.

Fortunately, she didn't do anything, and Shen Guodong was normal. Moreover, Zhou Wanwan found out that if she could get Shen Guodong to do more things for her. He'll be a little happier.

For example, when he came to pick her up on Saturday, he asked him to help them change the doorknob of their bedroom, install a door plug, and then repair the curtain box that was not good.

Of course, all of this is done by school workers. But this kind of trivial matter may not necessarily come if you ask a school worker to wait for two weeks, Shen Guodong took the initiative to solve it immediately, and he was very happy when he finished it, so let him do it easily.

"If you suddenly want to eat something. You can also call me. "Once Shen Guodong suddenly mentioned it to Zhou Wanwan." Xiao Zhang of our unit said that his daughter-in-law suddenly wanted to eat pickles made of celery root in the middle of the night one day, and she couldn't sleep without eating. ”

"You mean that if I'm hungry in the middle of the night, I can call you and you'll bring you supper?" Zhou Wanwan was a little funny, "I sent it just for breakfast?" ”

"I said I was going to work in Ling'an. You see, I still can't reach what you're doing! Shen Guodong still wants to bring up the old things again.

For his stubbornness that does not fall within the normal range, Zhou Wanwan chooses to listen to it and ignore it.

But when she saw what Shen Guodong said about Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law, she still couldn't calm down. "They're pregnant! If a pregnant woman suddenly wants to eat something, of course, she has to eat it in her mouth immediately! Can you be like a normal person?! You're comparing me to her?! ”

"If you don't get pregnant, you can't have something you want to eat all of a sudden? What kind of logic do you have? Shen Guodong felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Wanwan's thoughts, "If you want to eat but can't eat your mouth, isn't it just as uncomfortable to be pregnant or not?" ”

Zhou Wanwan tried to restrain her urge to roll her eyes, what did Shen Guodong mean that it would be normal if she could toss him like a pregnant woman?

The matter with Shen Guodong occupied almost all of Zhou Wanwan's attention, and when she found out that Guo Kejian had not come to her to get money, it was more than a week later.

The Mining Bureau building is two streets away from the school, and Zhou Wanwan thought about it for a while, but still didn't go over, but called Guo Kejian.

Even if there was no money, she should have asked about his father's condition.

But the person who answered the phone told Zhou Wanwan that Guo Kejian had something at home and asked for leave.

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and finally didn't ask anything and hung up the phone.

Guo Kejian's home is in Suilin County, and she can't help if there is really anything. She had already said about the money, and he didn't come to her, just he didn't need it urgently. There's really not much more she can do.

Guo Kejian is such a proud person, the confiding that day is out of control, maybe he doesn't want to see her now.

That's a few months.

In the past few months, the whole country has been violently shaken, everyone has been swept away by the torrent of the times, and the pace of the great era has strides forward, and this devastated country has finally ushered in a new era.

In September 1976, the great man died, and in October, the Gang of Four was defeated, and the Red Revolution, which had lasted for ten years, finally came to an end.

Many families who have been torn apart by it can finally be reunited, and thousands of people whose fates have been changed by it have finally seen the light of day.

However, Guo Kejian's family was completely dispersed at this time, and his father waited for the Gang of Four to be defeated, but he did not survive the illness and died on the day General Guo was rehabilitated.

General Guo's rehabilitation work was personally presided over by Grandpa Shen, and before the Gang of Four was defeated, he was secretly preparing materials to be released to the public as evidence of their persecution of revolutionary heroes.

As soon as the matter of General Guo was resolved, Guo Kejian's father was immediately taken off his counterrevolutionary hat, reinstated to his post, and held a memorial service as the deputy county magistrate of Suilin County.

Zhou Wanwan heard the news the day before the memorial service.

"Originally, his father was just a liver disease caused by long-term malnutrition and overwork, and if he took care of it, he would definitely be able to survive until he was rehabilitated, and when the time came, he would go to a big hospital in the province for treatment, and he would never die so early." Zhou Chen ignored Shen Guodong's objections, but still told Zhou Wanwan the truth.

"He was dragged by Guo Kezhen to criticize the fight, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, because he had his own will to die, and no medicine could save him."

After Guo Kezhen returned to the city to take over, in order to actively perform and win the "good reputation" of killing relatives for righteousness, he won the recognition of his workers and leaders in the unit, and quickly occupied a place in the "revolutionary ranks".

Guo Kezhen has been "aware of current affairs" since she was a child, and later her family suddenly changed, she knew Shen Guohui at such a young age, and she could even show her face in front of Grandpa Shen, making her life in school much better.

No one believes how loyal and devoted she is to the "revolutionary cause". She doesn't necessarily have no feelings for her father, but her father has been defeated, in the eyes of the time, this life is completely over, she still has to live, if criticizing her father can bring her benefits, this is also a matter of "taking advantage of a small loss".

No one could have imagined that dozens of days after she dragged her father out to criticize and fight, the world would be turned upside down.

The father who was knocked down and stepped on 10,000 feet became the deputy county magistrate who was admired by the people, and a memorial service was held in the largest auditorium in the county, and all units organized people to mourn.

When Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Chen, and Shen Guodong arrived, the auditorium was already solemnly decorated, and many people were waiting outside the door to go in to mourn the deceased and comfort their families.

"The leaders of the county party committee have all arrived, and none of them have been pulled! People from the province are here! This deputy county magistrate Guo is really good at picking the time! Look at the funeral! Someone in front of me was whispering.

"When will I pick it! If you can survive for a few more days, can you die in the county hospital? As for the big chief's father, even if he died, it would work, and he would have been sent to Beijing in the province as soon as possible! If you're cured and come back, that's not a matter of a deputy county magistrate! ”

"That's it! It's only forty-eight! It's a good time to go up! If you can survive this, you may be able to sit in a position in the future! ”

……

The members of the county leadership team came out, and relatives and friends who were waiting outside and people from various units went in one after another to bow to the deceased and shake hands with the family members to express condolences.

A few people went in late Zhou and saw only Guo Kejian alone in the family area.

Guo Kejian is thinner than the last time he saw it, standing straight, there is no trace of blood on his face, his eyes are always gentle and elegant, but the expression on his face is very restrained, he shakes hands politely, greets people simply, speaks and behaves in the same way as usual, and does not leak.

In the golden autumn of October, the sun outside is shining with warmth, the mourning hall is full of wreaths, people come and go, low voices and mourning music are mixed together, there is an unreal grandeur and liveliness.

But Guo Kejian, who stood there facing all this, made people feel that he was standing alone in the wilderness ravaged by wind and snow.

Zhou Wanwan followed Shen Guodong and Zhou Chen to Guo Kejian's side, watched the two of them shake hands with him, and said things like "Mourn, Uncle Guo can rest in peace today when he sees it", "If there is anything we can help, don't be polite".

When it was her turn, she couldn't say a word.

She just thought of Guo Kejian, who mentioned his mother's death that day, when he was still willing to find someone to talk to, and he could still show a sad and sad expression.

The current Guo Kejian only has cold and his body, as if he is an ice sculpture, and if he knocks hard, he may shatter with a bang.

Zhou Wanwan worked hard for a long time, but she still didn't say a word, and she didn't even laugh. She slowly stretched out her hand to Guo Kejian, and there were two pieces of candy in her palm. The same as what she gave him that day.

Guo Kejian looked at Zhou Wanwan's palm, and it took a long time to reach out and not go directly to get the candy, but to hold her hand in his hand. (To be continued.) )
