Chapter 221: Marshmallows in the Old Town
The strongest, the fastest update of exclusive honey pets, husband, please calm down the latest chapter!
"Okay, I won't follow you, hurry up and say that I'll buy you marshmallows after eating." Gu Shaosi coaxed with a smile.
"You can eat it yourself, I don't eat marshmallows." Lu Zhixue pursed her mouth, she used to like to eat, and every time she ate marshmallows, her mood would improve, because Ouyang Rui and Gu Shaosi had said the same thing.
Girls, eating marshmallows can drive away bad moods.
But then I don't know what's wrong, Ouyang Rui dislikes marshmallows very much, saying that they are three-no products, and at this point, Lu Zhixue no longer loves marshmallows so much.
"What's the matter with that woman?" Gu Shaosi swept away the indecent appearance just now and asked seriously.
"A lot has happened during this time." Lu Zhixue sighed, and then briefly talked about Ouyang Rui's gambling contract with his grandfather and the matter of Huaxia.
After listening to Lu Zhixue's narration, Gu Shaosi had to sigh, "It seems that the story that happened between you and Ouyang Rui is about the same as what happened to me in the Northern Hemisphere." ”
"It looks like you're doing well in the northern hemisphere as well." Lu Zhixue teased.
"It's not earth-shattering, but it's not calm either."
"Your temperament can't be calm anywhere." Lu Zhixue smiled, and then seemed to remember something, and asked, "Qiyao's girl also went on a trip, and there is no news so far, I'm very worried about her." ”
"She's also in the Northern Hemisphere."
"She went with you?"
"Sort of."
"Can you tell me the location?"
The area of the Northern Hemisphere is too wide!
"This ...... There is no comment. Gu Shaosi pretended to be mysterious and said.
"Forget it, as long as she's safe."
"Hmm."
The two were relatively speechless, but they didn't feel embarrassed.
After eating a meal, Lu Zhixue wanted to go back to Weiai to continue working, but Gu Shaosi seemed to see through her, and she couldn't work well at all with her current mentality, so she forcibly stuffed people into the car and took her to relax.
The car is driving at a constant speed on the highway.
Lu Zhixue looked at the scenery that flashed quickly outside the car window, and there was a complicated color in her eyes.
"Xuexue, where do you want to play?"
"I don't want anywhere."
Lu Zhixue said sullenly.
"What about going to the mountains to watch the fireworks?"
"What kind of fireworks do you watch in broad daylight?" Lu Zhixue smiled helplessly.
"Who says you can't watch fireworks in broad daylight? Fireworks can be set off, add your own imagination, and you're done. ”
"Imagine yourself as night?" Lu Zhixue hooked her lips, "Gu Shaosi, I didn't expect you to be romantic." ”
"I've always been a romantic, it's just that you've never wanted to know me better, so you don't know."
It's a sad and aggrieved look again.
Lu Zhixue didn't have the heart to talk to him.
"You look so unmotivated, I'm going to be upset."
"You drive well and talk less." Lu Zhixue already wanted to beat him.
"I want to be quiet, but he doesn't like it."
Lu Zhixue: "......"
Can she slap it over?
"If you don't like to watch fireworks, then I'll take you to buy cotton candy."
"I don't want to eat it."
"Just when I wanted to eat."
Lu Zhixue: "......"
She doesn't seem to have much right to speak!
Then Gu Shaosi really ignored Lu Zhixue's wishes, and drove her directly to the destination, which was not a luxurious tourist place, but turned left and right to a relatively dilapidated small village.
Looking at the old streets and alleys outside the car window, Lu Zhixue suddenly had the illusion of returning to the old city.
The place where they grew up is the same, looking old and dilapidated, but everyone is next to each other, but it is very warm.
The car stopped steadily in front of a courtyard, and Lu Zhixue saw an old man selling cotton candy outside the car window, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, but surrounded by a group of children, with the most loving smile.
"This uncle has been setting up a stall here for decades, and his marshmallows are first-class." Gu Shaosi explained.
Lu Zhixue nodded, opened the car door and got out of the car, and walked over side by side with Gu Shaosi.
"Ouch, Xiao Si, long time no see."
As soon as the old man saw Gu Shaosi, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Long time no see, Uncle Zhang." Gu Shaosi's voice was rare with respect.
"When will you get a wife?" Uncle Zhang looked at Lu Zhixue, who noticed Gu Shaosi's side, and looked at her with a big belly, so he asked in surprise.
Lu Zhixue was just about to explain their relationship, when she heard Gu Shaosi laugh, "That's right, so I specially brought it to Uncle Zhang for you to see." ”
"Good, good." Uncle Zhang smiled from ear to ear, and then said to Lu Zhixue, "Girl, what's your name?" ”
"Uncle Zhang, I'm Lu Zhixue."
"It's good, it's a nice name, and it's good-looking." Uncle Zhang didn't read anything, he only praised people like this.
Lu Zhixue smiled a little embarrassedly, "Thank you." ”
"Uncle Zhang, she has a thin face, she will be embarrassed if you praise her so directly."
Gu Shaosi said with a smile.
"Look at the shape of this belly, it must be a boy." Uncle Zhang laughed.
"I don't know, I didn't check whether it was a boy or a girl." Lu Zhixue touched her bulging belly and said with a smile.
"Boys and girls hurt."
"That's right."
Seeing that Lu Zhixue's mood was gradually improving, Gu Shaosi was also a little relieved.
"Uncle Zhang, two bunches of marshmallows."
"Okay."
After buying the marshmallows, Gu Shaosi took Lu Zhixue to the alley again, the blue and blue stone pavement, there was a quiet earthy smell in the air, and the unique simple and peaceful atmosphere of the old city made Lu Zhixue's restless heart gradually calm down.
I took a bite of the marshmallow, sweet, as if it had magical power, slowly spreading from my mouth to my limbs, and then slowly moistening a sour heart.
"Gu Shaosi, I see that you and Uncle Zhang are very familiar, do you come here often?"
"I used to come here a lot."
"Before?"
"The back of our house is not moved from the big yard, grandpa doesn't like high-rise buildings, likes some quaint villages and towns, my dad found this place for my grandpa to live, I run here whenever I have time, and I get acquainted with it once and twice."
"I see."
"Don't look at Uncle Zhang, he can blow cotton, in fact, he is better at Go, and my grandfather is sometimes not his opponent."
"If Go can win against Grandpa Gu, it won't be easy." Lu Zhixue exclaimed.
Back then, in the big courtyard, Grandpa Ouyang, Grandpa Gu and Lu Zhixue's grandfather, the three of them were all masters, and no one in the military district could beat them.
"He was a professional Go player when he was young, but it seemed that because he neglected his wife because of Go, there was a lot of unhappiness in the future, so Uncle Zhang resigned as a Go player, and it wasn't until my grandfather moved in that he started playing Go again."
"It's best to meet friends with similar interests for the rest of your life."
"Yes, fortunately, with him, my grandfather has a happier old age."
"Then you have to thank Uncle Zhang."
"Yes, I treat him like my grandfather now."
"I see."
Lu Zhixue could feel that although Gu Shaosi and Zhang Bo were talking with hippie smiles, there was respect in their tones.
"This is where my grandfather lived."
Gu Shaosi pointed to a cleanly trimmed room in front of him and said, with a faint nostalgia and sentimentality in his eyes.
Lu Zhixue walked in behind him, although this house is not luxurious, but it is also very elegantly decorated, it can be seen that Grandpa Gu must have been an extremely tasteful person during his lifetime.
"Originally, it was a grandfather who chose a relatively large courtyard, but the grandfather didn't like it, the old man said that there are few adults in the place, but it will look deserted, but the place is small, and it will feel good."
Gu Shaosi said as he led Lu Zhixue across the gate, walked over from the side path, and then pointed to a small stream that had dried up, "The water here used to be very clear, and there were often fish swimming around in it. ”
"Grandpa lives alone, so it's a little lonely."
"yes." Gu Shaosi sighed, "At that time, I didn't understand why my grandfather regarded the two fish as companions, but when I grew up, I realized that the biggest wish in the heart of the old man has always been that the family can always live together and reunite and be healthy." ”
"It's a pity that Uncle Gu loves to work hard and build a career in his life and make a name for himself in the industry."
"That old man knows how to make money, and he only knows how to make money all his life." There was some resentment in Gu Shaosi's tone.
Lu Zhixue vaguely remembered that Zhou Rumeng mentioned to her that Gu Shaosi's father didn't take care of the family's affairs very much, and only knew that he had a good reputation in the industry because of his intention to make money, Gu's mother broke her heart for a long time, and finally committed suicide due to depression, and then Gu's father married a woman and gave birth to two sons.
Fortunately, Gu's father has always felt ashamed of Gu Shaosi's mother and son, so no matter what Gu Shaosi does, the company's heir has always been Gu Shaosi's name and has never changed.
However, Lu Zhixue felt that Gu Shaosi actually didn't want the position of heir at all, so he resolutely abandoned the position of executive director before.
"Then why did the creek dry up?"
didn't want to mention the scar in Gu Shaosi's heart anymore, Lu Zhixue directly jumped the topic.
"I don't know what's going on, it suddenly dried up last year, I guess I missed my grandfather, so I went to the bank of the Lethe River to find my grandfather."
Gu Shaosi said jokingly, but his eyes were full of sentimentality.
Lu Zhixue felt a little sorry for him, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Look, your grandfather has a familiar stream underneath, accompanied by familiar small fish, and he will not feel lonely." ”
"I hope so." Gu Shaosi smiled, took a step and continued to walk forward.
The two walked along the creek for a short distance, Lu Zhixue thought that there was no way ahead and wanted to return the same way, but saw Gu Shaosi squatting down in front of a moss-covered wall.
She leaned over for some reason, "Is there anything special about this wall?" ”
Gu Shaosi didn't answer, he reached out and knocked on the third brick, and the sound of "buckle buckle" turned out to be empty inside.
Lu Zhixue was slightly stunned, "It's empty inside?" ”
Gu Shaosi nodded, and gently removed the brick, behind the brick was a small lattice, and there was still some paper in it, which had been stored for a long time, and it had been yellowed and wrinkled.
