Ye Tan was reborn into a年代文 (chronicle novel). The original owner had a happy family, loving parents, culture, ...
Chapter 89 Spring Breeze "The door is not closed..."
Ye Tan took out a blank notebook, wrote the date on it with a pen, and made a countdown schedule for the college entrance examination.
Excluding the current month, there is only half a year left until August.
When Ye Tan took off his thick cotton-padded jacket and put on a thin sweater, he received a letter from his hometown. It was still written by Ye Yanlin. In addition to reporting his safety to his family, he also talked about his wife and children, and then talked about some news and gossip from his hometown at the end.
Only then did Ye Tan realize that since Li Congjun caused Erfeng to have a miscarriage, his second uncle had planned to take revenge on Li Congjun, but when he turned around, he found that Li Congjun had run away.
When asked where the person had gone, his parents said they didn't know. The second uncle was very angry. He didn't believe it at first and suspected that they had hidden the person. He watched at the door of Li's house for half a month but didn't see anyone. Finally, he had no choice but to give up.
As for Erfeng, she became extremely depressed after returning from the hospital. I don’t know if she has given up on Li Congjun. When she heard that Li Congjun had run away, she didn’t react at all and just stayed in a daze at home all day.
Seeing all this, Ye Tan felt very complicated. She had no good feelings towards Erfeng before, and she hated her even more after the firefly incident. However, every time she saw Erfeng being manipulated by Li Congjun without any brains, she felt sorry for her and felt that she deserved it. Now that she had lost her child and the man she loved had abandoned her and ran away, Ye Tan could only sigh.
But it was all her own fault, and she didn't sympathize with her. People always have to pay for their own choices.
After reading the letter, Ye Tan finished the sweater in his hand. He started knitting it after the New Year and it was almost finished.
When Gu Zhao came back, Ye Tan had just finished finishing the cuffs. Seeing him, she raised her hand and said, "It's just right. How about you try on the clothes?"
When Gu Zhao saw the sweater, his face lit up with joy: "It was knitted so quickly? My wife is so great." Then he kissed Ye Tan.
Ye Tan pushed him and said, "Stop joking and try it."
Gu Zhao stood up and tried it on: "It's just as comfortable as the last one."
Ye Tan didn't believe it: "But I clearly used five fewer stitches than the last one."
Gu Zhao could still justify himself: "It was cold at the time, so I wore an extra autumn coat inside. Now I only have a vest inside."
Ye Tan laughed, "Alright, just wear whatever you feel comfortable in. You can alternate between the two sweaters. I have to review my lessons morning, noon, and night, so I don't have time to mess around with clothes."
Gu Zhao was surprised: "Weren't you reading it intermittently before? Why did you suddenly become so serious?"
Ye Tan said with an unfathomable look on his face, "Because I have a premonition that the college entrance examination will be resumed. What do you think, Captain Gu, are you interested in joining me in the college entrance examination?"
Gu Zhao couldn't help laughing and complimented her: "Master, work hard on your own. When you get into university, you can give me a chance to accompany you to study."
When Gu Zhao said this, Ye Tan suddenly realized something: "If I get admitted to a university in another city, won't we have to live apart?"
Gu Zhao said without thinking: "Didn't you say you would accompany me to study? I will accompany you wherever you go."
Ye Tan frowned: "You don't want to work anymore?"
Gu Zhao looked at her and said with a smile: "Work is not as important as my wife."
Ye Tan slapped his arm and said sternly, "I'm serious with you. Don't laugh with me. I'm asking you, if I really take the college entrance examination and I'm sent to another city, we won't see each other for the whole year. You have to be mentally prepared."
Gu Zhao: "Look at what you said, as if the college entrance examination will resume tomorrow. Why are you worrying about such a stupid thing now? It's already dark, aren't you hungry?"
If she hadn't said it, Ye Tan really hadn't noticed that it was getting dark. He was really a little hungry at the moment: "Why don't you go and cook."
The househusband went to cook, and Ye Tan sat in the living room with his chin in his hand, thinking about the future when the couple might have to live apart.
Long-distance relationships are the most challenging hurdle for a relationship to last. Can they overcome it? Or will they just apply to a local university?
But her goal is to go to Peking University or Tsinghua University. One must accomplish one or two great things in her life. She can rely on her husband at home, but she must have some sense of accomplishment in the outside world. She wants to get a diploma so that if she really wants to do something in the future, she will not be blocked by her low academic qualifications. In addition, it will also let those who always say that she is lazy and gluttonous see that although Ye Tan is indeed lazy and gluttonous, she has a good brain and can study.
Not only that, it can also set an example for future generations.
You see, my mother was also a useless person back then, but she still worked hard to get into university and became a glorious college student. From then on, no one said that my mother was lazy and gluttonous.
As for Gu Zhao, Ye Tan felt that he should still have confidence in him. Besides, he could see him during the winter and summer vacations, so it wouldn't be like not seeing him all year round. Thinking of this, Ye Tan felt it was okay.
When Gu Zhao finished cooking and brought out the meal, Ye Tan's brows were all twisted into a ball. Gu Zhao stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her hands, sat down and said, "Are you still thinking? Finish today's work today, and think about tomorrow's things tomorrow. Let's eat first."
Ye Tan took a mouthful of rice and said happily, "I've thought about it. You're right. Things will work out in time. At worst, I'll come back to see you during my vacation. Hmm... this fried eggplant is delicious."
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Gu Zhao picked up another piece for her and said, "I saw the chef in the cafeteria make this before. When I came back today, I happened to see some fresh eggplants in the store, so I thought I'd try it. Now it seems that the replica is pretty good. If you like it, I'll buy some eggplants and make it for you tomorrow."
Gu Zhao is a serious person. He promised to take care of Ye Tan before marriage. After marriage, he would study cooking whenever he has time. Ye Tan is also a flatterer and would praise everything as delicious. This encouraged Gu Zhao to cook different dishes for Ye Tan every few days.
Ye Tan was eating the first batch of eggplants in early spring, but spring clothes had already been on the market in big shopping malls a month ago.
The spring clothing designs that Ye Tan had previously contested for prizes were also rushed into production by the factory and sent to surrounding areas one after another.
Although the clothing factory awarded Ye Tan's design draft the first prize, it is still unknown whether the finished product will be popular after it is produced. The clothing factory only made a small batch for trial sale.
Unexpectedly, within less than half a month, a shopping mall called to purchase goods.
"It's the two-piece suits from the previous batch, with a gauze skirt and a wool cardigan, in all colors."
"Yes, yes, that's the dress with the cardigan, the one... What do you mean it's out of stock? How could it be out of stock? We have a lot of customers here who are eager to get it. Please hurry up and make it."
"Old Li, we've been partners for years. Just send me this batch of clothes first, and I'll make up for it later... Why is it not possible? Our customers are pushing us every day... Why are they pushing us even harder and it's first come, first served?
…
One afternoon, Ye Tan went out for a walk and saw that many workers at the food factory opposite his residence were wearing new spring clothes that looked very familiar. They were very similar to the design styles he had submitted. After asking, he learned that they were bought in a shopping mall outside. They were new models this spring and were sold out outside.
Ye Tan...
Although fashion is a weather vane, this is too exaggerated. Two out of ten workers are wearing the same style, and the rate of wearing the same clothes is extremely high.
However, Ye Tan was still happy that her design was recognized by the general public, which made her happier than receiving royalties.
But no one complained about having too much money. Ye Tan thought about taking the college entrance examination in the future, and would have no time to do manual work to earn money after going to school. Although Gu Zhao also had a lot of work, they would have children in the future, so it was time to start saving for a childcare fund.
So when the clothing factory called Ye Tan again to ask him to do an article, Ye Tan agreed.
This time, with the spring clothing products having a good start, the clothing factory discussed and decided to directly pay Ye Tan a design fee of 500 yuan. One reason was that Ye Tan's manuscript was worth it, and the other was to establish a good relationship for long-term cooperation between the two parties. They also wanted to see whether the hot sales of Ye Tan's clothing were just a temporary luck. If not, they would plan to poach him.
Ye Tan didn’t know what the garment factory was planning yet, and when he heard the number five hundred yuan, he almost howled in his heart.
Compared with the money earned from selling ready-made clothes, these five hundred yuan are indeed a drizzle, but for ordinary people, it is a huge sum of money, almost a whole year's salary.
"Honey, I'm going to make a lot of money!" As soon as Gu Zhao came back, Ye Tan jumped straight on him. Gu Zhao quickly stabilized his lower body and caught her, saying helplessly: "Be careful, if I don't stand firmly, we will fall to the ground together."
Ye Tan hugged his neck and kissed him hard, "I'm not afraid, you will definitely catch me, honey, I have good news to tell you, I earned 500 yuan."
Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow, carried her buttocks to the sofa and sat down, then asked: "How did you earn it?"
Ye Tan raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly, "Did you know that the design I submitted to the clothing factory was sold out this spring?"
Gu Zhao: "I know, you said it before." That night, Gu Zhao didn't do anything bad and was directly pulled by Ye Tan to praise her.
"So the clothing factory called again and said that my clothes are selling well and they want to make an appointment with me for the summer." Ye Tan sat astride Gu Zhao's legs, talking excitedly with an expression that said, "Praise me, praise me!"
Gu Zhao held her waist with a doting look in his eyes. He tilted his head and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek: "Did they give you 500 yuan for the manuscript?"
Ye Tan hummed, and Gu Zhao was also very happy for his wife, "Great, how come my wife is so outstanding."
Ye Tan was so happy to be praised that her heart was bubbling with joy. Her little butt twisted back and forth with her rising mood. After a while, Gu Zhao, who was full of praise just now, pinched her and warned her: "Behave yourself."
Ye Tan pouted, smiled and stretched out her hand to pull the corner of his mouth: "It's obviously you who are not honest. I'm talking to you about serious matters, but you still think it's wrong."
Gu Zhao let her pull his face into a strange expression and said vaguely, "You can't blame me for this. Who made me have a wife who is excellent in every way? Beautiful, smart, and talented. Just one look from you and I will fall at your feet."
Ye Tan listened to him flattering herself while touching her legs dishonestly and hesitating so much that Ye Tan became a little excited.
Last week, Gu Zhao went out to sea, and when he came back, unfortunately her period came again. It just ended yesterday, so the two of them hadn't been together for more than half a month. When Gu Zhao teased her, she wanted it too.
Ye Tan bit her soft lips, tightened her arms around Gu Zhao, and before Gu Zhao could react, she rubbed him and then buried her face in his neck.
Gu Zhao's heart melted when she rubbed him. He put his big hands on her legs and asked her gently, "Xiao Tan, have you thought about it too?"
Ye Tan didn't say anything, but just bit his neck, her snow-white teeth biting on the taut artery. Gu Zhao, who was already breathing disorderly, let out a low groan from his throat, and could no longer hold back and held up Ye Tan's face.
He looked at her rosy eyes with a deep gaze, and his lips gently brushed over her small and delicate earlobe like a pearl, and kissed her cheek to the corner of her eye.
Ye Tan closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling, like butterfly wings, falling on Gu Zhao's heart.
Ye Tan breathed heavily, and saw the open door from the corner of his eye. He scratched Gu Zhao's shoulder with his fingers: "The door is not closed..."
Gu Zhao kissed her neck, and his fingers nimbly adjusted her clothes down her shoulders. The arrow was on the string, and he didn't care whether the door was open or not. He turned around and pushed Ye Tan onto the sofa.
But Ye Tan didn't want to be exposed to the open air, so he raised his hand and pushed Gu Zhao's face away from his chest: "Close the door."
Gu Zhao then glanced at the door impatiently and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've locked the door. You can't see into the house from the outside."
Ye Tan was still worried: "No, go upstairs, woo..." Ye Tan's mouth was blocked, and spring was flowing around him. The leaves outside rustled, and the grass quietly broke through the obstacles and grew towards the sun in the spring breeze.
