Gu Shi'an didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, his body hurt badly. After a night, the bruises on his body did not dissipate, but became even more shocking.

She looked at the ceiling for a moment, and then sat up from the bed. At this moment, she remembered the paper in Chen Xiao's hand about Chang Yan's experience.

She was slightly tired, and wanted to call Chang Yin, but she still didn't call after all. What's the matter if you fight, it will only make Chang Yan ......

Chen Xiao, it's really ruthless. There was a bit of self-deprecation on her face, when did he stop being ruthless? There are probably times when she is not ruthless, but not for her.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes.

She doesn't know Chang Yan's past very well. only learned from her father's words that she had provoked terrible people and was looking for her everywhere.

When she saw Chang Yin, she was only a teenager, and she didn't have many words. There is maturity that does not match the age. She didn't think much about what she was messing with. It wasn't until a certain time that Chang Yan secretly went to a bar and was scolded by her father, and she vaguely heard it, and then she knew that Chang Yan's goods were not the 'trouble' she imagined. It's worse than she imagined, I don't know how many times. The people she provoked were not as simple as she thought.

But fortunately. After she 'disappeared', things faded away.

In the early spring of the second year after Chang Yan's return, her grandfather passed away. I don't know what the old man said before he passed away, but she has been guarding the store since then and rarely goes out again.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance, and his body was in pain. She went to the bathroom and washed her face and rinsed her mouth before forcing herself to go to work.

Her face was not very good all day, but fortunately, there were not many things, and she could barely cope with it. When it was time to get off work, she sat in the office for a long time before she took out her mobile phone and called Chang Yan.

I thought she was in a restaurant, but when I called her, I found out that she wasn't in the city. Birthday feasts in the suburbs.

Gu Shi'an thought she had resigned, so she explained that it was not. People went to their restaurant once, and the old lady liked her cooking, so she discussed with the boss to invite her to cook. The price she paid was worth several days' worth of her salary.

The boss knew that she was short of money, so he responded with a wave of his hand. And posted a list of chefs who can come to their homes. She has several appointments lined up.

Gu Shi'an was sincerely happy for her and asked her when she would go home, only to learn that she would not leave until the banquet was over.

She asked Gu Shi'an what was the matter.

Gu Shi'an smiled and replied no. I just haven't seen her in a while.

Chang Yan said distressedly that there was no time for the time being, and when she waited for the winter solstice, she took a day off and asked her to go over to eat mutton pot together.

Gu Shi'an responded, let Chang Yan busy hers, and then hung up the phone.

She was about to go downstairs when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, and the person on the other end of the phone said respectfully: "Mrs., I'm downstairs in your company." Mr. Chen asked me to come and pick you up. ”

specially asked people to come, probably because they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to come.

Gu Shi'an said now, I will come down immediately, and then hung up the phone and went downstairs.

There was indeed a driver waiting downstairs, and when he saw Gu Shi'an coming over, he respectfully opened the car door.

Gu Shi'an has been looking out of the window since he got in the car, and his eyes were astringent, so he closed his eyes.

When she returned to the old mansion, Qi Shiyun actually came back, probably because there were more people, and the old mansion was not as deserted as before.

She never showed up when the old lady was sick, and I don't know if she came back after knowing the news of the old lady's illness.

Although he knew that she didn't want her daughter-in-law, Gu Shi'an still stepped forward and politely called her mother.

Qi Shiyun didn't look at her, just hummed lightly.

The old lady was not there, she was supposed to be resting. Gu Shi'an said hello to Qi Shiyun and went to the kitchen to help.

The dinner prepared in the kitchen was very rich as they were coming back to stay. was personally cooked by Aunt Ye, and Gu Shi'an not only failed to help, but also stuffed a stomach full of things.

Aunt Ye knew Qi Shiyun's indifference to Gu Shi'an, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mrs. ...... all these years She's not having a good time, don't take it to heart. ”

Where will it be better, my husband doesn't return home all the year round, and he lives with the mistress above board. No one will have a good time. It's just that he didn't get divorced in one breath.

Gu Shi'an was used to it, smiled reluctantly, and nodded.

When Chen Xiao came back, Gu Shi'an was still in the kitchen, and when she heard his voice, her body stiffened slightly.

She stayed in the kitchen until the old lady asked her to call her, and she didn't go out.

Although he had tortured Gu Shi'an angrily only last night, Chen Xiao saw that she was no different from usual today, hooking his lips and calling his daughter-in-law.

Probably because the old lady was sick, the atmosphere of the dinner was lively, and they were all amusing the old lady. Even Qi Shiyun showed a rare smile.

The old lady rested at nine o'clock, Gu Shi'an was already uncomfortable, and she was already very tired after holding on for so long, and when Qi Shiyun returned to the room, she also went upstairs.

The room was pitch black. It took her a while to turn on the light, wash up before Chen Xiao returned, and then shrank into the quilt.

Chen Xiao didn't come back to the room after long, and he didn't turn on the light. After lighting a cigarette in the dark and smoking, I went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out, he got into bed, pinched Gu Shi'an's jaw by the faint light shining in from the window, and said slowly: "It's good to be like this today, and I will continue to maintain it in the future." ”

His hand was strong, Gu Shi'an didn't say anything when he was pinched, and he just lay down with his eyes closed.

Chen Xiao looked at her for a while, then leaned over and bit her lip.

Gu Shi'an's body still has last night's bruise, and it hurts when he touches it. She was about to break free.

Chen Xiao pressed her hands and feet tightly, sneered in the dark, pinched her chin again, and said sadly, "What are you struggling with? If you don't get it for me, who do you want to get it for? ”

He bit Gu Shi'an's lip vigorously, leaned down with one hand evilly, and said gloomily: "Only I can enter this cave, do you know?" ”

With the memory of last night, the stronger he used, the more Gu Shi'an's body stiffened. He re-covered her with a dense trail of bruises.

Gu Shi'an lay down like that, and when she reached the last step, Chen Xiao, who was pressing on her, turned over. I don't know where I found the ointment, threw it to Gu Shi'an, and said, "Wipe all the body on your body." ”

After a slight pause, he sneered and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want grandma to see anything tomorrow morning." ”

He got out of bed, opened the door and went out.

He stopped suddenly, Gu Shi'an's body was much more relaxed, she saw that the ointment did not move, and it was slowly applied after a while.

Chen Xiao didn't come in again, Gu Shi'an's nerves relaxed, and he fell asleep in a daze.

When Chen Xiao came back, Gu Shi'an just fell asleep, and felt that someone was lying down beside her, and her body immediately tensed tight. It wasn't until there was no movement from the people around her that she fell asleep.

The ointment given by Chen Xiao was useful, and when Gu Shi'an got up to wash up the next day, he found that the marks on his neck had disappeared a lot, leaving only a shallow layer of marks. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it.

Chen Xiao said that he was going to live here, not to play, and the next day he asked people to collect some of the things of the two of them and send them over.

Probably to show affection in the eyes of the old lady, almost every day at work, the two of them together. After work, the driver was asked to pick up Gu Shi'an.

The two officially settled in the old mansion.

Although the old lady was discharged from the hospital, Luo Ying often came over. Sometimes the old lady takes her pulse and blood pressure. Sometimes it's just a matter of coming and sitting.

The weather is gradually getting colder and colder, and Lincheng has officially entered winter.

On the morning of the first day of the winter solstice, Chang Yan called Gu Shi'an, saying that she would take a holiday the next day and let her go over for dinner.

Gu Shi'an was willing to let Chen Xiao know that she was dealing with Chang Yin, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed.

On the day of the winter solstice, she called Aunt Ye after work, saying that she didn't have to wait for her to eat. Then I went to Chang Yan's side.

When she passed, the rare little tiger and his mother were there. He was recovering well, and his pale face was a little more bloody than it had been in the days since the operation.

When he saw Gu Shi'an, his eyes lit up and he called his sister.

It was cold outside, so Gu Shi'an drove him back into the house. A few people were busy in the house.

Chang Yan's mutton is bought at the morning market, and it is stewed in a large pot early. The winter solstice is the day to eat dumplings, she rolled out the dumpling skin and prepared several kinds of stuffing to make dumplings. I also specially prepared snacks such as melon seeds and dried fruits.

Xiaohuzi's mother and Chang Yin's movements are very neat, and the dumplings are very beautiful. Gu Shi'an's movements were slower, and he was driven aside after wrapping a few.

Chang Yin's salary is much more now, and the whole person is rarely happy. The smile on his face never fell.

She talked a lot more, talking about all kinds of interesting things she met when she went out. She is a little humorous, which makes Xiaohuzi laugh.

Gu Shi'an was slightly shaken in the laughter and the smell of food in the courtyard, there was a charcoal fire in the house, and she took care of the charcoal fire carefully while listening.

Dinner was plentiful, with well-cooked lamb and dumplings with various fillings. Chang Yin is much more prepared. The dumplings were put in the pot, and the lamb that had been marinated earlier was put on the raw charcoal fire and roasted on the grill.

In the past, she was embarrassed, and she was reluctant. This time, he was very generous, and he bought a lot of spices. Thin skewers of lamb are skewered and brushed over the charcoal fire, and soon they give off an enticing aroma. Before he could start eating Xiaohuzi's saliva, his saliva fell.

Chang Yan sat a dipping dish of dumplings for each person, and then put the dumplings in a large bowl and ate them around the fire.

The dumplings she wrapped were thin and large, with elasticity, and they were fragrant when you bite into them. began to eat Chang Yan and said mysteriously: "I wrapped a blessing coin today, whoever eats it can make a wish, and the wish can be fulfilled." ”

It's rare for her to be so childish.

Xiaohuzi immediately cheered, looked at Chang Yan with a pair of round eyes, and said excitedly: "Sister, can any wish come true?" ”

Chang Yan nodded vigorously at this time, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

As soon as her words fell, her face became strange. The little tiger was very elfty and laughed. said: "Sister has eaten, make a wish, make a wish." ”

Chang Yan spit out the coin, put down the bowl, and made a serious wish with his hands folded: "I hope we are all safe and healthy, I hope that the business in our store is prosperous, I hope I can make a lot of money, and eat mutton every day!" ”

In the firelight, her eyebrows were crooked, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned.

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and laughed. Nodding his head, he said, "It will definitely happen." ”

Xiaohuzi said distressedly: "My mother said that she couldn't say what she wished. ”

Chang Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and said arrogantly: "It's okay, I'll do it again later." ”

She put several coins in the dumplings, as if to confirm that she would be prosperous, and she ate three coins by herself. Little Tiger ate one.

Gu Shi'an and Xiaohuzi's mother didn't eat any of them.

After eating the dumplings, Chang Yan served mutton and mutton soup to everyone, Gu Shi'an ate with a round stomach, and when he ate the mutton skewers, he waved his hand and said that he couldn't eat it.

Xiaohuzi rested early, and the mother and son went back after eating. After they left, Chang Yan took out a bottle of wine. asked Gu Shi'an if he wanted to drink it, and said that it was given by a guest.

Living in the old mansion, Gu Shi'an shook his head where he dared to drink.

The two couldn't find anything to say for a while, and seeing that the time was almost half past nine, Gu Shi'an stood up and said, "It's not early, I have to go back." ”

Chang Yan also stood up and asked, "Don't you sleep here?" ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and said, "The old lady is not in good health. During this time, I lived in the old house. Gotta go back. ”

Chang Yan's face showed worry, and he said, "Are you okay?" ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just a small problem." ”

Chang Yan was relieved at this time, and insisted on sending Gu Shi'an to the side of the road to take a car, and then slowly returned to the small courtyard.

As soon as I left the courtyard full of laughter, the whole city seemed to be cold. Gu Shi'an's head rested on the glass window of the taxi, and he looked out so intently.

When I went back, the old house was also deserted. The old lady had already slept, and there was no one in the old house.

As soon as Gu Shi'an changed his shoes, Aunt Ye came out of the kitchen, smiled slightly when she saw her, and said, "Come back, it's still hot, go wash your hands." ”

Gu Shi'an was uncomfortable lying, and hurriedly said, "No need Aunt Ye, I've already eaten outside." ”

"The old lady let the mutton soup be stewed, warm up, I'll serve you half a bowl." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he went to the kitchen.

Gu Shi'an felt guilty, thanked him, and drank half a bowl of soup hard.

Chen Xiao was not seen, he had always gone home on time these days, so Gu Shi'an asked, "Are Mom and Chen Xiao not there?" ”

The winter solstice is also a solar term, and it stands to reason that it should all be there.

Ye Qing smiled and said, "Chen Xiao came back to eat with the old lady and went out again, and the lady went back to her parents' house early in the morning." ”

Gu Shi'an nodded now.

Ye Qing looked at the time and said, "It's not early, it's been a busy day, let's go and rest." ”

Gu Shi'an agreed, and asked the old lady again, Ye Qing answered them one by one, and then she went upstairs.

Chen Xiao was relieved that she was gone, and after changing her clothes, she went to the bathroom to take a shower. After washing, she didn't go out, and stayed in the hot air for a long time before going out.

When he opened the door, he saw Chen Xiao sitting on the sofa, Gu Shi'an was suddenly startled, and he didn't know how long he had been back.

She didn't speak, but found a towel and wiped her hair.

Chen Xiao's eyes were gloomy, he stared at her for a while, and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened slightly, and replied, "Work overtime." ”

Chen Xiao walked towards her at this moment, and his index finger hooked her chin to look at her. Said casually: "Overtime? Are you taking me for a fool or are you taking yourself for a fool? ”

Gu Shi'an did not speak.

Chen Xiao's body leaned forward, and his lips covered it. Biting Gu Shi'an's lip, he tossed and turned to his ear again, and said word by word: "Do your homework before lying next time." Don't be exposed. ”

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened even more now, what did he mean, had he been to her company, or had he been to Chang Yin?

Her mind was chaotic for a while, but Chen Xiao didn't continue. The hand was on her waist, inch by inch.

Chen Xiao's method of torturing people does not lie in forcible seizure. but they can't get it. After so many joys, he already knew where her sensitivity was.

He wanted to watch her collapse, so he was naturally more patient than ever. Gu Shi'an bit his lip and didn't say a word, he didn't care, it was already muddy when he entered. He attached himself to her ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why, aren't you unwilling?" looks silent, but in fact, it is an S goods in his bones. ”

He said it word by word. forced Gu Shi'an to open his eyes.

After tossing until midnight, Gu Shi'an fell asleep groggily, but Chen Xiao did not sleep, sat on the sofa in a bathrobe and smoked.

After smoking a cigarette, he stood by the window and realized that it was snowing outside.

When Gu Shi'an woke up the next day, the outside was covered with snow, and the house and yard were snow-white. Workers at home are sweeping snow in the yard.

Chen Xiao should have gotten up early, and the bed beside him was cold. Gu Shi'an stood in front of the window for a moment. Then he put on thick clothes and went downstairs.

The old lady got up early, and Chen Xiao was there. It seems that Gu Shi'an is the only one who has overslept alone.

She was slightly uncomfortable, and stepped forward to call grandma.

The old lady was in such good spirits that she sat down beside her, and said with a smile that everyone would not go out today, but would play cards at home.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Aren't you talking about wanting to see Grandma Gu?" I'll call her and ask her to come and accompany you later. And Grandma Fan, Grandma Xu, Grandma Shen, I went over to please. ”

The old lady laughed at this point. He said, "It's a cold day, why don't you invite someone over?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "I'll call and ask first, maybe they want to play cards with you." ”

The old lady scolded the stinky boy at this time, and she was happy to invite a few old ladies over, and immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a few things that the old ladies liked to eat.

Chen Xiao said that he would do it, and immediately went to call with a smile.

Ye Qing set out breakfast and asked the old lady to eat breakfast first. I made another list, and I went grocery shopping to buy the ingredients I needed later.

The old house was lively for a while.

Chen Xiao finished the phone call in a short time, and said with a smile that several old ladies had agreed to come over. I'll come back when I'm ready to pack up later.

The old lady is even happier now, they are all sisters when they were young, and they remember clearly what they like to eat. A few words from time to time.

Ye Qing wrote them down one by one.

It was arranged suddenly, and the kitchen was completely unprepared. After breakfast, Gu Shi'an took the initiative to go grocery shopping with his aunt.

There are a lot of things to buy, and they are all bits and pieces. In order to avoid sweeping the old lady's interest, Gu Shi'an checked them one by one. After buying at the vegetable market, I went to the supermarket. And I chose a lot of snacks that old ladies can eat.

When Gu Shi'an went back, Mrs. Gu had already come over. Also with her was Gu Su.

Gu Su was very well-behaved in front of Mrs. Gu, saying that it was cold weather, and she didn't worry about the old lady coming alone, so she followed over to take care of the old lady.

Gu Shi'an hadn't seen Mrs. Gu for a while, and the old lady didn't let her be busy, so she let their grandparents talk considerately.

It didn't take long for a few old ladies invited by Chen Xiao to come over one after another, and a mahjong table was set up in the hall, and several old ladies sat and played cards.

Several old ladies were sent by the grandsons of the family, and they were greeted by Chen Xiao. Gu Shi'an served tea and poured water for the old ladies.

Gu Su was so happy that he didn't come to the old lady, and he couldn't interject from those people, so he ate snacks alone.

Her eyes rolled and she saw Gu Shi'an being idle after pouring the tea. She walked over and asked with a low smile, "Cousin, where is your bathroom?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything and took her to the bathroom.

She came to the bathroom somewhere, to touch up her makeup. While touching up his makeup, he said: "Cousin, you are really a big name, you won't go last time if you don't go." My mom started preparing to welcome you and your brother-in-law back a few days in advance. ”

Her tone was sour.

Gu Shi'an pretended not to hear it, and he didn't bother to explain.

Gu Su naturally didn't stop the topic like this, and a face with heavy makeup suddenly approached Gu Shi'an, and said, "But I don't think you did it on purpose, cousin." ”

She paused slightly, and then said, "After all, cousin, you can't call your brother-in-law." If your brother-in-law doesn't go temporarily, you can only escape. ”

The malice in her tone was not concealed at all, and after a long time, she continued: "However, it's your fault to lie, cousin." Rest assured, we all understand the relationship between you and your brother-in-law. Let's be honest in the future, no one will blame you. ”

She doesn't hurt anywhere, she doesn't step on it, she is proud.

She has always had no long memory, and she has probably forgotten the last time she was locked up in the house.
