Chapter 21 Reluctance (thanks to friends for tips and recommendation votes, plus more)

Xue Pingping went to ask Commander Xiao to be accommodating, let him go back to the house today, and he would come back early tomorrow morning.

Commander Xiao agreed, looked at his back and shook his head, this kid won't be scared, find an excuse to escape, right? Sensational!

Xue Pingping hurried home, and finally saw the door of the mansion before dark.

From a distance, I saw a carriage at the gate, and a person stood next to it, and he was about to lift the curtain of the carriage. It's Gu Nanzhi! Xue Pingping rushed over in three steps and two steps, squeezed Gu Nanzhi away, and took over Gu Nanzhi's movements diligently, opening the curtain with a smile on his face!

Meng Youyou came out of the carriage and was a little surprised to see that the person who was holding the curtain was Xue Pingping. Xue Pingping said softly: "Madam, are you tired after a busy day?" Fortunately, I arrived and can enter the house with you, and our husband and wife can be regarded as entering and leaving together. ”

Meng Youyou nodded at him, turned his face and said to Gu Nanzhi with a smile: "Brother Gu is also tired for a day, hurry up and go back." ”

"Okay, Mengniang, go in quickly, I'll go back." Gu Nanzhi said to go back, but the person stood still and did not move.

Still inseparable? Xue Pingping didn't care so much about him, he walked towards the mansion with Meng Youyou, and asked with concern, "Madame hasn't had dinner yet, right?" ”

Meng Youyou didn't break away from the hand he was holding her, and responded, "Well, I haven't had time to eat yet." ”

"That's right, I didn't eat either, I'll accompany you."

When they arrived at the Xiushui Courtyard, Luzhu fetched hot water for them to wash their hands and went to prepare meals.

Xue Pingping was very curious about what Meng Youyou did with Gu Nanzhi today, so he asked, "Is things going well when I go to Zhuangzi today?" ”

"It didn't go well, but fortunately, with Brother Gu by his side, the matter was resolved."

"What happened? If only I had been with you. Xue Pingping had a worried look on his face.

"In Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, a group of beggars have recently come here, and they have been idle all day long, and they have wasted a lot of crops."

"What then? There should be a lot of people in Zhuangzi, drive them away. Xue Pingping listened anxiously for a while.

"I rushed it, but they cried and begged, saying that it was the disaster victims from the south, who fled and came here, and the old and young people around them were sick and hungry, and they were also pitiful." Meng Youyou said calmly, but the pity and sympathy on his face were clearly seen by Xue Pingping.

"But that will not harm others and benefit ourselves, and harm our crops." Xue Pingping was very angry, what was there to pity such a person?

"So Brother Gu and I simply took them in, asked them to sign and draw the pledge, and stayed in Zhuangzi to do things in the future, which can be regarded as doing a good deed." There was a hint of satisfaction on Meng Youyou's face after doing a good deed.

"But can such a person be trusted! Gu Nanzhi is really, you are kind-hearted, you can't bear to see people suffering and starving, is he also dizzy? Xue Pingping felt that he should not be merciful to bad people, maybe one day, these people would get into trouble or run away, and their kindness would be fed to the dogs.

"Don't worry about it, it's just to help them, if they know that it's better to repay them, if they want to leave, then don't be disappointed." Meng Youyou thought very clearly, the Zhuangzi people are not enough, since these people have no place to live, it is better to let them work in the Zhuangzi in the name of the word, which not only solves the manpower problem, but also helps those people, killing two birds with one stone. Those people have a stable life, can be fed and clothed, and will no longer behave recklessly, but will only think of her good and do their best to do things.

Xue Pingping saw that Meng Youyou said that, and it was not good to pour cold water on it, but he hated Gu Nanzhi even more, how could he keep Gu Nanzhi away from Meng Youyou?

The food was served, and Xue Pingping was still carefully picking up the food for Mengyouyou, but he felt that his movements seemed to be a little stiff, and his interest was not as good as when they first met.

Did you get into trouble going to the army? Holding the bowl and drinking the soup, Meng Youyou asked, "Did you go to the army today, can you still adapt?" ”

Xue Pingping was slightly surprised, she finally knew that she cared about him? He raised his head and looked at her, and said: "Everything is going well, at first it was a little unaccustomed, the army is all rough guys, fighting and killing, training all day, it is indeed a little uncomfortable, but I think it will be used to it in a few days." Xue Pingping endured the soreness and exhaustion all over his body, and his arm would hurt if he lifted it slightly, but when he saw Meng Youyou, the soreness in his body was reduced a lot, maybe his mind was on Meng Youyou, and he didn't care about the pain on his body.

"If you can't stay up, let's rest for two days and then go." Meng Youyou thought of his stiff movements when he picked up vegetables for her, and knew in his heart that he must have suffered a lot today.

"That's not good, military discipline and military rules are strict, but it's not like I want to rest, otherwise I really have to stop eating." Xue Pingping never thought of retreating, but he could only come back once in seven days, I wonder if Meng Youyou would worry about him, or if he would miss him a little? He said a little gloomily: "It's just that I went to the army tomorrow, and I can't return home until seven days later, and I can't see you for seven days, what if I miss you?" ”

These love words did make Meng Youyou's heart tremble, but what could she say? She ate and did not respond.

"Madam, I'm not in the house, you have to take care of yourself, eat on time, don't be tired. The matter on Zhuangzi, just let Gu Nanzhi handle it alone, you have a daughter's family, I don't worry about going out. Xue Pingping is really not at ease, what is not at ease, only he knows.

Meng Youyou looked at him with a solemn face, squeezed out a smile at him, and said, "I will take care of myself, and you will also take care of yourself in the army." I'll take care of the things in the house, someone on your father's side is worried, and I'll keep an eye on your mother, the doctor comes to the door every day, and it's been a little better in the past few days. ”

"I'm not worried about my father and mother, I'm worried about you, madam, what if you don't have me by your side to protect you, what if you meet a bad guy?" Xue Pingping looked worried.

"With Brother Gu here, nothing will happen, you don't have to worry." Dream Yu persuaded him.

But ...... "What I'm worried about is Gu Nanzhi!" But Xue Pingping couldn't say it, if he said it, it would definitely cause Meng Youyou's best to maintain it, but he would seem stingy. Alas! "Okay, anyway, you should be more careful yourself, Gu Nanzhi, you can let him help you do things, but you can't be completely defenseless, if there is anything, send someone to the army to inform me."

"Okay, I got it. Eat it, it's cold. Mengyou faintly felt that Xue Pingping was a little displeased with Gu Nanzhi, but she didn't know what the reason was, and she would not be in front of Gu Nanzhi in front of him in the future.

After eating, seeing that Xue Pingping had no intention of leaving, he had to remind: "It's not early, you can go back and rest early." ”

Xue Pingping had no choice but to get up, walked to the door and turned back, hugged Meng Youyou, and let go of her without waiting for Meng Youyou to struggle, and said in a deep voice: "I am really reluctant to leave you." After saying that, he walked away on his own.

Dream stayed in place, what happened just now happened too fast, as if nothing had happened, but her heartstrings seemed to be plucked, and the aftermath had not yet dissipated.
