49. Marriage proposal
The next afternoon, as soon as she was free, Ruan Xiangqin looked straight at Lin Guozi, who drooped her head and was at a loss. Zhu Zhu has always chased him, and now he wants him to take the initiative to show love to Zhu Zhu in turn, but he can't do it.
Ruan Xiangqin sighed and rolled her eyes. Pregnant! She ran upstairs and rummaged through the cabinets to find a wedding ring that her mother-in-law had given her. This gold ring is also set with an oval jadeite in the middle, and the style is not outdated at all. Let Guozi take this ring and propose to Zhu Zhu, it will be successful. She searched and searched, and found a beautiful jewelry box to put in it.
She ran downstairs, pulled the fruit aside, opened the jewelry box for him to see, and stuffed it into his pocket. Attached to the fruit's ear, he gritted his teeth and said: "Wait a minute, go play with Zhu Zhu, you have to get it for me before twelve o'clock tonight, don't come back if the proposal is unsuccessful." β
Guozi pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Hmph, what's the use of asking for marriage." I just need to hook my finger, and she will immediately pounce, your son can't escape, you know, don't underestimate your son's charm.
Ruan Xiangqin slapped him lightly: "Stinky boy, I don't care about you so much, anyway, I didn't hear your good news tonight, so I will treat you as incapable and unattractive." β
"Hey, is this still my mother?"
"Cut ......" Ruan Xiangqin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, pulled him to the cash register, and pulled Zhu Zhu out of it, pulling the hands of the two people together. Zhu Zhu felt very sudden, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
"I don't need you here, I'll stand at the counter in person today. As for you, just go out with the fruit and have a good time. Isn't it Christmas Eve today? There should be a lot of activity. Go to the movies, go shopping, see what's going on in the department store, buy clothes. In short, you usually work too hard, and today I will give you two a holiday. You young people are not like us old people, how can you be locked up in the store all day? Go out and have fun, go out and have fun. Hehehe. Ruan Xiangqin said something arrogant and dry, as if swallowing mountains and rivers.
Any young person, how can there be no fun? The two of them changed out of their work uniforms and went out as soon as they smoked.
Lin Guozi drove a small van with Zhu Zhu for a ride, although it was a broken car, it was better than nothing, in the huge city of Beijing, it was always much more convenient to have a car. The first time I made a special trip to play with Lin Guozi, Zhu Zhu became nervous for no reason. Her dress has become much more fashionable, but psychologically, the rustic atmosphere of the countryside has not completely faded, and she still clutches the skirt tightly, so nervous that her palms are sweating. However, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhu shows a unique cuteness.
"Why don't we go to the cinema and watch a movie first, and then go to dinner, and after dinner, if you like karaoke, go singing, and if you don't like it, go shopping and buy something, okay?" Lin Guozi broke the silence and made the itinerary.
"Okay," Zhu Zhu was already full of joy, of course he had no opinion: "Well, I heard that the recently released "The Wind" is very good, starring Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing, and the acting is very good, so it's better to go and see it." β
"Okay."
When they bought their tickets, they left the show with exactly ten minutes left. Seeing that it were two young people, the ticket seller asked as usual, "Do you want a couple seat?" Couples can save 5 yuan. β
Lin Guozi replied briskly: "Okay." Zhu Zhu bumped into the deer in his heart, and looked at Lin Guozi in surprise, joy and shame. What's going on? God is going to rain red, or are you going to win the million-dollar lottery?
Because it was a couple's seat ticket, I also got a pack of popcorn. Lin Guozi bought two more bottles of Coke, and then took Zhu Zhu's hand and entered the cinema.
The two found their seats and sat down in the shadows. The so-called couple seat is nothing more than a partition with a handrail in the middle. The two didn't talk much, drank Coke, ate popcorn and waited for the movie to start. The box office of this movie was good, the attendance rate was high, and within a few minutes, it was already crowded with black pressure in front of me.
"The Wind" was really filmed well, and the acting skills of Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing are also remarkable. It's just that when he saw those tortures on the field, Zhu Zhu trembled with fright and drilled his head straight to Lin Guozi. The heartbeat of the two was like thunder, and Zhu Zhu's face was already red to the root of his ears, but in the dark, no one could see it.
Lin Guozi has taken the first step bravely, and he knows that this step means that he will completely give up his illusions about Xiaomeng from now on. But he will still do it, after careful consideration, he feels more and more that his mother is right, Zhu Zhu is more suitable for himself, he and Zhu Zhu get along with each other's psychology is equal, but with Xiaomeng, he always feels that he needs to look up to her, and he has to worship her like a fairy. He is an ordinary person, and perhaps only the most ordinary happiness is enough.
Zhu Zhu got a message in this hug. Love may have crept in. From tonight onwards, maybe everything will be different. She secretly pinched her thigh, it hurt, it wasn't a dream, it was real. But it's real, it's as real as a dream. Zhu Zhu only smiled stupidly, but she didn't know how to leave the movie theater, and somehow she had already arrived at a famous steak restaurant, until Lin Guozi repeatedly asked her what kind of set meal she wanted to eat, and how cooked the beef was, she came to her senses.
Lin Guozi didn't care much about her stupidity, his mind was all on one issue. He thought about taking out the gold ring at dinner, but it seemed too sudden to hand it to her, and he had to say something in a screpe, he couldn't say it. After thinking about it, he remembered the scene he often saw in TV dramas - hiding the gold ring in food and letting her eat it herself. Although it is old-fashioned, it is said that the more old-fashioned it is, the more effective it is, and it can still surprise people. When she saw the ring, she understood what he meant.
That's it! So after ordering their respective steaks, Lin Guozi enthusiastically recommended an ice cream shake to her, Zhu Zhu smiled and said that the amount of steak was already very sufficient, she couldn't eat it, so she didn't need to order it again. But Lin Guozi insisted again and again, and she agreed. In order to avoid Zhu Zhu's suspicions, he also ordered another milkshake with a different color for himself.
During the meal, he excused himself to go to the bathroom, ran to the service desk with a cigarette, took out a gold ring and asked for help, and buried it in her ice cream shake. Seeing this romantic move, the service staff also enthusiastically agreed.
When the steak ran out, two brightly colored and beautifully shaped milkshakes were served. You have a cup and I have a cup, and Zhu Zhu happily enjoyed it. In winter, enjoy ice in a heated restaurant. Lin Guozi peeked at Zhu Zhu from time to time, and Zhu Zhu dug and ate it. "Why haven't you eaten yet?" Lin Guozi stretched his neck, and with expectations in his heart, he inevitably became impatient.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhu made an "oh" sound, her face turned red, she put her hand close to her throat, and vomited out urgently, as if she was "stuck" in her throat. Lin Guozi stood up and hurriedly ran over to pat Zhu Zhu's back. "What's wrong? It's stuck in your throat, isn't it? Hey, what are you doing with such big bites? Who made you eat that big bite? Quick, spit it out, spit out the ring. Lin Guozi was anxious and said everything.
It turned out to be a ring!? Zhu Zhu rolled his eyes at Lin Guozi, this fool. She ran to the sink outside the bathroom and lay on it desperately vomiting, but Lin Guozi also caught up and helped her pat her back.
"Bang dang" something fell out, and sure enough, it was a gold ring! Zhu Zhu hurriedly picked it up and washed it with hand sanitizer.
Zhu Zhu raised the cleaned gold ring and complained to Lin Guozi: "Fool! You've hidden the ring, should you remind me to eat a little bite, eat a little slower? You don't know how to remind me when you see me eating like that. β
Lin Guozi scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehe, I forgot." I didn't think of this at the time. β
"Forgot? How come you don't forget to eat? Zhu Zhu pouted.
"You're probably the first person to eat the ring. I'm stupid, and so are you. In order to get rid of the embarrassment, Lin Guozi couldn't help but fight back.
The two laughed. The more you laugh, the more funny you feel.
The laughter stopped. Zhu Zhu's face turned red, and she said angrily: "What do you mean by giving someone a ring?" β
Lin Guozi swallowed his saliva and said, "Then do you still need to ask?" A sucker. Do you know that this gold ring is our family's ancestral heirloom, my grandmother's wedding ring to my mother, and my mother is going to give it to you, what do you mean? β
Zhu Zhu's face turned even redder, but it was a red of joy. She couldn't believe that all of a sudden, happiness came knocking on her door.
"You, you're not kidding me, are you? Why, all of a sudden, it's really unreal. β
Lin Guozi took the ring and put it on for her: "Look, how beautiful." If you don't believe me, go home tonight and ask my mom. Okay, right? β
Zhu Zhu suddenly cried, it was a tear of happiness.
"Fool." Lin Guozi pulled her into his arms: "From today on, you are my Lin Guozi's fiancΓ©e." If we can, we'll get married this year, okay? β
"Really?" Zhu Zhu raised his little face with pear blossoms and rain in his generous arms.
"Hmm."
People who enter and exit the men's and women's restrooms look at them strangely. Lin Guozi and Zhu Zhu suddenly realized that their proposal was actually at the door of the bathroom, oh my God, the two stuck out their tongues, looked at each other and smiled, and fled in a low-key manner.
After piercing this layer of window paper, the two young people, who had been chattering non-stop on weekdays, finally returned to normal. The silence of the afternoon was finally completely gone. This steakhouse is located in a commercial building, and at this time, the commercial building is fully heated, bustling with customers, and the river is endless. The shops are decorated with Christmas trees, Santa Claus, snowmen and other decorations and stickers. It felt like everything was beaming.
"We're full, let's go back to the mall." Zhu Zhu said.
"Good. I'll buy you two winter coats. You'll wear those two pieces around. By the way, I have already returned the 50,000 yuan that Meng Fei bought for you last time. β
Zhu Zhu's eyes widened: "Ah! When was it given? How did I not know? β
Lin Guozi patted her head: "Do you have to report everything to you?" In short, in the future, you can only be taken care of by me. β
Zhu Zhu smiled shyly and happily buried his face in the crook of his arm.
"I'm so afraid, I'm really afraid that if I sleep, all the happiness in front of me will be gone."
Lin Guozi deliberately teased her: "Well, then don't sleep." β
"What?" Zhu Zhu pursed her lips and looked sad: "Actually, it's not that I'm afraid of sleeping, but I'm afraid that after someone comes back, this sweet dream should really wake up." β
As soon as Lin Guozi heard this, he immediately stopped his steps.
Zhu Zhu's heart sank, and he asked in surprise: "What?" β
Lin Guozi pulled her shoulders, looked her in the eyes, and said word by word: "Zhu Zhu, you will be my wife and Xiaomeng's sister-in-law in the future, and we are a family." So I don't want you to have a knot in your heart for Little Dreams, understand? I've figured it out, she's my sister, my Snow White, and I'm still going to protect her and not allow anyone to bully her. However, the only person who can marry me and live with me is you, and we are the most suitable. I never doubt that we are a natural pair, just like Xiaomeng and Meng Fei are born to be one. Do you understand? β
In the distance, hymns were heard. Tears welled up in Zhu Zhu's eyes, and she knew that her happiness had really come.
