Chapter 41: Marry Me
Cheng Xiaolei saw that Gu Zhen was stunned and didn't speak, and he thought even more in his heart: "What's wrong with you?" How did you end up here, and what about those discarded textbooks and pens? That's all your possessions! ”
Gu Zhen smiled: "Thank you for reminding me that I am a poor bastard." ”
Seeing that Gu Zhen could still laugh, Cheng Xiaolei finally relieved.
But I heard Gu Zhen say: "I was blocked by three men, and they dragged me here!" ”
Cheng Xiaolei's heart that he had just put down raised his throat again: "What? Who did this to you? Did they do anything to you? ”
Cheng Xiaolei glanced Gu Zhen up and down, and found that Gu Zhen's clothes were stained with some soil and weeds, and his hair was also on.
Cheng Xiaolei was about to go crazy: "Speak quickly!" ”
Gu Zhen didn't know what to say for a while, she just guessed that the person behind her was Fang Yao, and she didn't know how the three boys planned to deal with her.
The only takeaway is the truth about his father's accidental death.
Gu Zhen's silence made Cheng Xiaolei's heart like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.
"Nothing happened, I scared them away."
Cheng Xiaolei thought he had heard it wrong: "Scared away? ”
"Play dead and then cheat."
“……”
Cheng Xiaolei felt that if this kind of thing was done by someone else, he might not believe it, but if it was Gu Zhen, he would believe it 10,000%.
Cheng Xiaolei laughed: "Hahahahaha." ”
Gu Zhen glared at him: "Go home quickly, my mother should worry about me when it's late." ”
This time, in order to be in a hurry, Gu Zhen allowed Cheng Xiaolei to send her to the door, and Cheng Xiaolei felt happy.
There is a bicycle parked in front of Gu Zhen's house, which looks even more dilapidated than Cheng Xiaolei's, the difference is that Cheng Xiaolei has scratches caused by frequent riding, and this one is rusty, as if it has been stacked for a long time.
Who's coming?
Gu Zhen and Cheng Xiaolei said goodbye and ran home, and before they entered the hospital, they smelled the smell of fragrant meat.
Uncle Liang went to the house with a bundle of firewood, saw Gu Zhen, and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen, eat meat today." ”
Gu Zhen is hungry, and being frightened and acting also consumes physical strength.
"Uncle Liang, this is done?"
Liang Zhenhua deliberately sold Guanzi: "I'll talk about it after dinner." ”
Gu Zhen helped Uncle Liang pick up the fallen firewood, and the two of them went to the house together.
Today, Uncle Liang not only bought pork and came back, but also bought a fresh grass carp that had been processed and cleaned when passing by the edge of the reservoir, weighing two or three catties.
Chen Suyun stood in front of the stove, dug up a large spoonful of lard with white flowers, and threw the salted grass carp into the oil pot.
The pot sizzled, and when the sound of oil splashing weakened, Chen Suyun covered his face with the lid of the pot, picked up a shovel and turned the grass carp over.
The fish absorbed the fat and was golden brown on both sides, Chen Suyun took out the fish and put it on a plate, added a little soy sauce and starch to the pan after frying the fish to make a juice, and poured it on the fish.
Finish with a sprinkle of cilantro and serve!
Liang Zhenhua and Gu Zhen's eyes were straight, Gu Zhen wiped the corners of his mouth and checked if he was drooling.
On the dinner table, there is also a rice soup made of white rice that is usually reluctant to eat, vegetables fried with eggs and the last cucumber in the vegetable garden, and pork belly slices fried with leeks in the pot.
Chen Suyun set up the meal and looked at Liang Zhenhua with a smile: "Zhenhua, you can speak." ”
Gu Zhen also looked at Uncle Liang, although she had already known this celebratory posture in her heart, Uncle Liang's application for a loan was inseparable.
Liang Zhenhua was very excited, he poured himself a glass of wine, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be drunk before he drank it.
"Suyun, Zhenzhen, our Yunhua Parts Factory has been successfully registered!"
When Chen Suyun heard the name of this factory, he was very shy, and asked in a low voice: "Wouldn't it be good to take this name?" ”
Liang Zhenhua drank all the wine in his hand and looked at the shy Chen Suyun: "What's wrong, take the names of me and my daughter-in-law, how nice it sounds!" ”
Chen Suyun was even more shy, and pinched Liang Zhenhua: "It's really still there, pay attention!" ”
Gu Zhen was sprinkled with dog food, and he had to applaud on the side: "It's good, and it's loud to say!" ”
Liang Zhenhua smiled from ear to ear: "The future college entrance examination champions in our township have said good things, it seems that my skills in choosing names are good!" ”
Chen Suyun also smiled and filled Liang Zhenhua with wine.
Liang Zhenhua raised his glass again: "The second cup, the loan application is down, and it will be interest-free for three years, and I can do my business with confidence!" ”
"Congratulations Uncle Liang!" Gu Zhen watched Uncle Liang finish the wine, and he also filled it for him diligently.
Chen Suyun immediately sandwiched a piece of fish meat into Liang Zhenhua's bowl, and put another piece into Gu Zhen's bowl: "The two cups are over, right?" Hurry up and eat the vegetables, this fish will not taste good when it is cold! ”
Liang Zhenhua poured himself a third glass of wine, reached out to hold Chen Suyun's hand, and put down the chopsticks.
"Suyun, there's a third glass of wine."
Liang Zhenhua said as he pulled out a shiny silver ring from the cloth pocket sewn on the inner lining of his clothes.
For a moment, the air seemed to become heavy.
Liang Zhenhua slowly put the ring on Chen Suyun's left ring finger, turned left and right, nodded and said: "The size is just right, it seems that over the years, you are neither fat nor thin." ”
This sentence suddenly made Chen Suyun's tears overflow from her eyes, she looked at the plain silver ring and asked, "Is this ......?" ”
Liang Zhenhua nodded: "I bought it back then, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to give it to you, for so many years, I have been sewing it into my clothes, and it feels as if you have actually been by my side all the time......"
Chen Suyun hid her face and cried, and even Gu Zhen felt that the corners of her eyes were wet.
Liang Zhenhua asked, "Su Yun, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Chen Suyun glanced at Gu Zhen, and Gu Zhen held Chen Suyun's hand and gave her a firm look.
"I do!"
Chen Suyun felt that even tears were sweet, the man in front of her, the daughter at hand, her home seemed to be complete again.
"Alright, let's eat, I'm going to starve!"
Gu Zhen interrupted the sweet atmosphere on the table, and the three of them smiled awkwardly and feasted happily.
Full of wine and food, Liang Zhenhua carried the meals packed by Chen Suyun for Grandma Liang and sent him out, Gu Zhen cleaned up the dining table and sat on the stone steps at the door to listen to the cicadas.
Chen Suyun closed the courtyard door, walked over, and sat down beside Gu Zhen.
couldn't help but raise his hand to look at the delicate and beautiful ring, and the corners of Chen Suyun's mouth unconsciously rose.
"Really."
"Huh?" Gu Zhen looked at the stars in the sky and was fascinated, and in the era when there was no air pollution, the beauty of the starry sky was fascinating.
"Your dad won't blame me, will he?"
Gu Zhen was stunned for a moment, held Chen Suyun's hand, pointed to a star in the sky and said, "Mom, you see, I heard others say that when a person dies, he will become a star in the sky, and I think the one who winks at us is Dad." ”
Chen Suyun looked in the direction of Gu Zhen's hand, and sure enough, he saw a star that was inconspicuous, but twinkling.
Gu Zhen continued: "Dad is telling us that he can only accompany us for a while, and he will always bless us in heaven for the rest of the long road." ”
Chen Suyun nodded, leaning on Gu Zhen's shoulder, her daughter has grown up and can say comforting words, even if Chen Suyun knows that it is not true, she feels very relieved.
Gu Zhen had a flash of worry in her eyes, after experiencing today's events, although she was afraid, she was also glad to learn the truth about her father's accidental death.
She won't tell Cheng Xiaolei, but now, she won't mention it to her mother again, she can't bear to disturb her mother's hard-won happiness anymore.
Everything about his father, Gu Zhen decided to bear it alone.
Gu Zhen slept well this night, and during school time, Cheng Xiaolei had to sneak to Gu Zhen's door to wait for Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen was afraid of being seen by Chen Suyun, so he put an egg in his pocket and ran: "Mom, I remembered that I had an exam today, and I had to go to school quickly." ”
"I'll go back after eating!" Chen Suyun was busy in the house.
"I've got the eggs!"
"Alright then, come back on time!"
"Good!" Gu Zhen sat on Cheng Xiaolei's saddle, pinched Cheng Xiaolei's waist, and whispered: "Hurry up, go quickly." ”
Cheng Xiaolei was tickled, riding the car swaying left and right, Gu Zhen hurriedly hugged Cheng Xiaolei.
Then Cheng Xiaolei couldn't help grinning, Gu Zhen knew that he did it on purpose, like a child, taking advantage of a little small, and being happy to be like this when he was cheap?
Gu Zhen closed his eyes and recuperated, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the school.
Gu Zhen yawned, jumped out of the car, and Cheng Xiaolei pushed the bicycle to the principal's office.
"I'll park the car, you go to the classroom first."
Gu Zhen couldn't understand the confusing behavior of parking his bicycle in the principal's office, except that the principal was his second uncle, there was no other good explanation.
As soon as he entered the house, Gu Zhen noticed that Fang Yao's face changed slightly.
Seeing that he came back well, Fang Yao felt uncomfortable, right? Gu Zhen sneered and sat in his place.
Wang Wenyue ran over again, today she was wearing a little white skirt, which was very similar to the one Fang Yao had worn, but Wang Wenyue was slimmer than Fang Yao, looking more weak and graceful.
Fang Yao is not fat, but has a lot of bones and looks slightly strong, so wearing the same little white dress has a different effect.
Wang Wenyue asked, "Didn't Cheng Xiaolei come with you?" Where did he go? ”
Gu Zhen replied to her angrily: "He's dead, are you going to find him?" Go out and jump into the river. ”
Cheng Xiaolei happened to enter the house, and when he heard this, his teeth itched with anger, Gu Zhen is killing his best friend and harming his husband?
But he still restrained himself, walked to Gu Zhen's side quietly, and suddenly said, "Who did you say died?" ”
Gu Zhen was startled and stepped on Cheng Xiaolei's feet.
Cheng Xiaolei covered his feet and shouted: "Gu Zhen, you are my nemesis!" ”
Wang Wenyue was distressed, and went up to hold Cheng Xiaolei's arm: "Are you okay?" ”
Cheng Xiaolei shook Wang Wenyue away: "Don't touch me in front of my daughter-in-law." ”
