Chapter 113 How did it become like this?

Ye Chi came after work. Today, a comrade-in-arms came back from a meeting in Kyoto and gave him a bunch of gifts that his father asked him to bring, and also said, "For the Gu family." So, he came after work.

Seeing Gu Xueqiang opening the door for him, Ye Chi greeted him and walked in. When he looked up, he saw a tall man in his thirties or forties standing at the kitchen door and looking at him.

He strode over and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Gu."

Gu Jianguo was a little confused. Who was this guy? He called him uncle as soon as he saw him. But he was just stunned for a moment, so he smiled and said, "Come in."

The two met for the first time and acted like acquaintances.

When Ye Chi entered the house, the first thing he saw was Gu Yimin cutting an orange with a knife. Her movements were very skillful and it was obvious that she cooked frequently.

Then I saw a pile of bright yellow oranges on the table.

Even though he was born in the Kyoto Military District compound, the army often gave Ye Xingjian special supplies. Ye Chi had never seen anyone eat fruit in this way, whether in Lizhou or in Kyoto.

"Xiao Ye is here, come and sit down." Wang Yueju had a good impression of him. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also capable.

"My comrade went to Kyoto for a meeting. When he came back, my father asked him to bring back some Kyoto specialties, specifically for you to try." Ye Chi put the gift in his hand on the table in a familiar manner.

"Come and sit down." Wang Yueju took a chair for Ye Chi to sit on and handed him an orange.

Ye Chi took it and said thank you, then looked at Gu Jianguo and said, "Uncle Gu was not at home when I came last time. My name is Ye Chi. My father once stayed in the cowshed in Shanshui Town for a while. Yimin once gave my father a few packets of medicine, and it was those packets of medicine that saved my father's life.

After my father returned to Kyoto, he often complained about it, saying that he couldn't repay the kindness if he couldn't find his savior. Coincidentally, I met Yi Min a while ago.

He called her "Min Yi Min" in a friendly manner. Gu Yimin couldn't help but glance at him. This man was really very familiar.

Gu Siqing leaned close to Gu Erhui's ear and said, "He really is good at it."

This person has an extremely high emotional intelligence, worthy of being an instructor.

Gu Jianguo finally understood what was going on and sat down, saying, "Many people were in need during that period. It was just a matter of lending a hand, not a big deal."

Gu Jianguo naturally had to be humble and not let people think that they took this favor too seriously.

"That's not a matter of lending a hand. My dad always talks about it." Ye Chi took a bite of the orange and said, "This orange is really sweet."

Gu Jianguo: "I went to Shenzhen some time ago. This is produced there, so I brought some back."

"I heard that it's developing very well there." Ye Chi said.

Gu Jianguo: "Yes, it is indeed developing faster than here."

…

The two of them talked about economics, and Gu Siqing once again felt that Ye Chi was a smart guy. Look, he was chatting so enthusiastically with Comrade Gu Jianguo on their first meeting.

After chatting for a while, Ye Chi stood up to leave, saying he had to return to the army. Gu Jianguo brought out a box of oranges and said, "Take them back and share them with your comrades."

Ye Chi didn't refuse.

At this time, Wang Yueju whispered in Gu Jianguo's ear that Luo Yongnian was also in this military region, and she still remembered to thank Luo Yongnian.

After hearing this, Gu Jianguo asked Ye Chi, "Is Luo Yongnian also in your army?"

"Yes, we are in the same camp." Ye Chi had guessed before that Gu Yimin and Luo Yongnian were not just fellow villagers. Now that Gu Jianguo asked about Luo Yongnian, he was even more certain of his guess.

Gu Jianguo brought out another box of oranges and said to Ye Chi, "Take this box to Luo Yongnian for me. Tell him I'll treat him to a meal when he's free."

Ye Chi responded with a "OK". The two of them each carried a box of oranges and put them in the car. Ye Chi said goodbye, got in the car, started the car and left.

The Gu family returned to their room to continue eating oranges. Gu Yimin briefly told Gu Jianguo about her encounter with Luo Yongnian in Lizhou. Gu Jianguo hummed in agreement, his face expressionless.

We are almost done eating, so let’s wash up and take a rest.

Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju hadn't seen each other for such a long time, so they naturally got intimate after going to bed, and then leaned against each other and talked.

Wang Yueju brought up her eldest daughter's relationship issues. "I originally thought that Luo Yongnian being in Lizhou was a kind of fate, but then that incident happened, and it's always hard to believe. And I think Yimin isn't interested in him anymore. Ye Chi is really good in every way, except that his family background is a bit high. I haven't found anyone else who's suitable."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Yimin is only 19 years old. Girls in the city usually get married late. Just wait and see." Gu Jianguo was not in a hurry about Yimin and Erhui's marriage. As long as his daughter was outstanding, she would always find a good partner.

"I'm not in a hurry. I just want to grab a good opportunity when it comes my way. Otherwise, it would be a shame if I missed it. It's just that he comes from a high-class family." Wang Yueju sighed, "It would be great if Ye Chi's family was similar to ours."

Gu Jianguo felt that women just liked to say these useless things. He said, "Whether you can live well after marriage doesn't depend on the social status of the man, but on whether the man can handle things. Even if you marry a high-class woman, if the man will take care of everything, what does a high social status mean?"

"It's the same principle. Even if a woman marries someone of a lower status, if the man doesn't care, her life will still be tiring."

After hearing what she said, Gu Jianguo leaned over to her ear and chuckled, "Is your man capable?"

Wang Yueju hit him with a smile, and Gu Jianguo also laughed.

Whether it was Luo Yongnian, Ye Chi, or someone else, Gu Jianguo did not express his opinion. Everything depended on his daughter. He just had to support his daughter.

In the past, his family was not well off, so in order to make Yimin's life better, he thought of finding a man from a better family, at least so that she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing after marrying him. But now that their family is better off, they don't think about food and clothing anymore, but whether Yimin likes it or not.

They have the capital to choose, so naturally they want to let their children choose the good one, the one they like.

Ye Chi drove to the military area and carried two boxes of oranges to Luo Yongnian's dormitory. Their dormitories were next to each other.

Although they were both at a level where they could live in a military compound, they were not married and felt there was no need to apply for housing from the army, so they continued to live in the dormitory.

Luo Yongnian hadn't rested yet. When he heard the knock on the door and opened it, he saw Ye Chi standing at the door. He leaned sideways and said, "Come in."

"No," Ye Chi pointed to the two boxes of oranges on the ground and said, "I went to Gu's house today. Gu Yimin's father asked me to bring you a box of oranges. He also said he would treat you to dinner when you are free."

Luo Yongnian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."

As he said this, he bent down and carried a box of oranges into the house, and Ye Chi carried the remaining box into his room.

Luo Yongnian opened the box, took out an orange and cut it with a knife, then took another piece and put it to his lips and took a bite. The orange was very sweet, but a little bitter at the core.

This is the first time I've been in love for over 20 years. I wanted to let it go, but now I can't help but wonder how it got to this point.

It is obvious that they should have a good start after their reunion, then get to know each other and finally get together.
