Chapter 241 While He's Away

Gu Zhenjun completely stood on Lin Xiangnan's side. "Sister-in-law is worthy of being sister-in-law. She understands things very well."

"Of course." Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangnan proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head, and even spoke in a much louder voice.

She glanced at Gu Zhenhua and said to Gu Zhenjun, "You are more honest than your third brother. Your third brother is tough on the outside, but he is very honest on the inside. He eats a lot, wears a lot, spends a lot of money, and does a lot of bad things..."

"Why are you criticizing me? I shouldn't have said too much..." Gu Zhenhua muttered softly, not daring to refute.

It is a fact that Lin Xiangnan is also a beneficiary of the money he spends at home.

He and Gu Zhenjun were both ruffians when they were young, and they were particularly skilled at doing things that street urchins did. This is also a fact.

"You can't blame me and Lao Liu. There's something fundamentally wrong with this Gu family." Gu Zhenhua tactfully shifted the blame.

"Yes. The environment at home is indeed not good." Gu Zhenjun agreed.

"It is said that one can remain unstained by mud." Lin Xiangnan commented: "Although you two were covered in mud when you came out, you can still be a beautiful lotus after washing."

"That's in your eyes." Gu Zhenhua knew himself. Lin Xiangnan loved him so much that he thought that way.

In his hometown, Gu Zhenhua’s reputation is still not very good.

When talking about him, his peers or the older generation all think that he is not a serious person.

Even after he joined the army, his reputation did not improve, because even now, he still goes to Gu's house every year to make trouble and beat people up.

And Lin Xiangnan was a good girl who was coaxed away by the sweet words of a naughty boy.

Lin Xiangnan is good-looking, and when he is not angry, he smiles sweetly and well-behaved. Now he has achieved such a good result in the college entrance examination.

In the eyes of her elders, she is a good child.

With this foundation, it is not a big deal if she loves to eat, play and be beautiful, because this is a common problem among young people. Which young girl doesn't like to be pretty?

Not to mention the elders, even Gu Zhenhua felt that Lin Xiangnan was greatly wronged by marrying him.

Therefore, Gu Zhenhua fully supported Lin Xiangnan's decision.

Lin Xiangnan felt that the school dormitory was too shabby and wanted to apply for day study. Gu Zhenhua also efficiently ran errands for her.

But Gu Zhenhua doesn’t have much vacation time left.

Before leaving, he still gave some worried instructions to Gu Zhenjun.

"You'll be staying in the guest room these few days before school starts. Some things haven't been prepared yet, so you have to help your sister-in-law move them. Your sister-in-law is too delicate to do these rough jobs..."

Gu Zhenhua called Gu Zhenjun in advance just to let him take over and run errands for Lin Xiangnan.

He left, leaving Lin Xiangnan alone in this strange place, and Gu Zhenhua was worried.

After giving instructions on the small details of daily life, Gu Zhenhua coughed lightly and said, "When you have nothing to do, go to your sister-in-law's school to see her. It's nearby anyway."

"I understand." Gu Zhenjun looked very understanding. "Don't worry, I will definitely call you 'sister-in-law' from a distance when the time comes!"

He vowed to defend his brother and sister-in-law's love to the death!

"You kid! I know very well how Xiaonan feels about me." Gu Zhenhua explained: "I'm just afraid that some playboys will cause trouble to your sister-in-law. With your help to block them, there will be less trouble."

Of course Gu Zhenhua believed that Lin Xiangnan loved him deeply.

But he has to do the work he has to do. He can't just let others wield the hoe confidently. Being too arrogant in dealing with feelings will have consequences.

So after Gu Zhenhua secretly told his brother, he said to Lin Xiangnan very considerately: "When you adapt well to school here, write a letter home and ask mom to bring the children to see you, in case you are studying away and the children miss you."

"I want the children to stay at home with you more. If we all leave, you will be so lonely." Lin Xiangnan said.

Because both parents are working, the children at home are not very clingy. During the time when their parents are not at home, the two children will occasionally ask about their daily lives and then play by themselves.

At their age now, the two children can speak very fluently. Not only can they have fun in the nursery, but they also don’t have to worry about the caregivers not taking good care of them.

"I'm a grown man, why should I be afraid of being lonely? You all have to come back during the summer vacation anyway."

Gu Zhenhua said casually, holding Lin Xiangnan's hand tightly, "You study hard and strive to serve the motherland as soon as possible. I will try to come to Beijing for further studies as soon as possible, so that we can fight together again."

"Hurry up," Lin Xiangnan urged.

Originally, Lin Xiangnan didn't have any feelings of parting. After seeing Gu Zhenhua off at the train station, when he was walking back, Lin Xiangnan's mood inexplicably became low.

After sitting in a daze for a while at home, Lin Xiangnan suddenly said with emotion: "I haven't lived alone for a long time. Suddenly, I'm not used to it."

"How about sister-in-law, you go out for a walk and buy some things?" Gu Zhenjun made a suggestion based on his past experience.

Speaking of shopping, Lin Xiangnan suddenly became energetic, "Good idea! Let's go out shopping."

"I won't go. I'll just sweep the yard and pick up the coal in the corner..."

Gu Zhenjun had a lot of work in his eyes, but he did not forget his brother's instructions and reminded him: "If it's a big item, sister-in-law, don't buy it yet. Call me tomorrow and I'll help you carry it."

"It's nothing big. Go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now."

Having said that, as soon as Lin Xiangnan went out, he went to the department store and bought himself a bicycle.

As soon as she walked out of the department store, she got on the bike.

After riding two laps, Lin Xiangnan whistled in a cool way, "This feeling is finally right."

In front of Gu Zhenhua, he spent four thousand to buy a house. Later, Lin Xiangnan had to restrain himself when buying things.

Small expenses of a few dollars or tens of dollars are fine, but if it comes to expenses of hundreds of dollars, she has to continue to deceive people.

It takes talent to talk nonsense.

It is really painful for an honest child like her to do such a thing.

It would be better for her to spend money.

Lin Xiangnan rode his bicycle slowly around the streets to familiarize himself with the terrain. On his way back, he also bought some vegetables.

She wasn't bragging. With her many years of experience in strolling around the streets, she knew exactly what she was looking for. She just asked casually and bought a pig's trotter.

She can also buy things in the mall, but except for those in short supply, Lin Xiangnan likes to buy them outside with money and tickets so that her things have a provenance.

Seeing Lin Xiangnan riding his bicycle home, Gu Zhenjun suddenly criticized: "Brother, how could you forget this? I should have accompanied you to buy it before leaving."

"I forgot everything. I forgot too." Lin Xiangnan explained with a smile.

What a joke! She bought this bicycle specifically after Gu Zhenhua left.

When Gu Zhenjun went to school, she bought him not only a bicycle, but also a TV, a washing machine and a refrigerator.

Buy whatever is expensive.
