Chapter 25 Because I Miss You
The one who spoke was Gu Wanqing.
When Gu Wanqing came back, he had already asked the guard about what happened today.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw the legendary daughter-in-law rubbing his mother's temples.
At first impression, he felt that this daughter-in-law was very scheming and that she was trying to please the two elderly people in the family.
Therefore, his tone was naturally not good.
Old Mrs. Gu naturally heard it and couldn't help but roll her eyes, "What are we doing? Don't you have eyes? Can't you see?"
Gu Wanqing choked and continued to ask:
"What's wrong with you, Mom? Why is she pressing your head?"
"Because your mother, my grandfather, had a relapse of his illness, my granddaughter-in-law felt sorry for me and massaged me. Otherwise, how could I count on you?"
“…”
"Is this massage effective? Then I'll go learn from the military medical staff someday and come back to help my mother."
"Don't do that." Old Madam Gu said disdainfully, "With your rough hands and feet, don't make me sick."
Gu Wanqing: "..."
Old Mrs. Gu was too lazy to pay attention to her son who was singing a different tune, and quickly asked Song Youyou to stop.
"You've been massaging grandma for so long, your fingers must be tired, right?"
Old Mrs. Gu was very touched and kept rubbing Song Youyou's little hands.
"Not tired." Song Youyou replied indifferently.
Mrs. Gu sighed, "Oh, I am so lucky. In my old age, I still have a granddaughter-in-law who treats me so well!"
"..."Gu Wanqing was speechless.
Song Youyou smiled lightly and said:
"Grandma Gu, are you feeling better now? Are you still experiencing blackouts and dizziness?"
"I'm no longer dizzy! Granddaughter-in-law, your push has saved Grandma from suffering! In the past, I would have been dizzy for a long time and would have had to lie in bed and rest for half a day before I could recover. Now, not only am I not dizzy anymore, I don't even feel sore in my waist when I sit!"
"Mom, don't exaggerate. Is it really that useful?" Gu Wanqing was a little suspicious.
Hearing his doubtful tone, Mrs. Gu became unhappy.
"How come you have a mouth? If you can't speak, don't speak."
Being criticized again, Gu Wanqing: "..."
Old Mrs. Gu ignored her son, turned around and took Song Youyou's hand, "Hey, let's ignore him. Grandma will take you to see our shopping mall."
"Here, look, this is a Phoenix brand bicycle, this is a Yan brand sewing machine, and this is a Shanghai brand watch. These were all bought by Xiao Ge'er."
Old Mrs. Gu directed Gu Wanqing to push the wheelchair and took Song Youyou to see the things they bought.
"However, due to the tight schedule, we still haven't bought a radio. But we've already ordered one from the state-owned store, and they'll give us one as soon as it arrives."
Looking at the things in the room, Song Youyou was a little stunned.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
You know, even for a family in a military compound, it is very difficult to buy all the three turns and one ring in such a short time.
First of all, this thing requires a ticket, and that ticket is extremely difficult to get.
Secondly, these are scarce items, and even if you have a ticket, they may not be available.
The Gu family was able to buy three big items in just a few days, which can only be said to be a real effort.
"Oh, and this too!"
As Mrs. Gu said this, she asked Gu Wanqing to go to the cabinet to get the key, open the drawer, and then take out a small box.
"Look."
Old Mrs. Gu opened the small box and found a dark green jade bracelet inside.
Just by looking at the translucent and rich color, you can tell that it is definitely an ordinary product.
"This is a bracelet passed down from my family to my daughter-in-law. Do you like it?"
As she spoke, the old lady put it on Song Youyou's hand.
Song Youyou's heart was in turmoil, and she quickly shook her head, "No, this is too expensive."
Just like Wen Xiaorou said, her marriage to Gu Xiao was not based on love, and they might break up one day...
"It looks great and suits you very well. Go and thank grandma." A charming voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Song Youyou turned her head and saw a tall figure with his arms folded, leaning lazily against the doorway, looking at them, and no one knew how long he had been looking at them.
"Xiao'er, why are you back today?" Old Mrs. Gu smiled happily.
"I just got back from the procurement vehicle for this unit. I only have an hour left and will be heading back soon."
"Are you in such a hurry? Then I'll have someone cook!"
"No, I'll be leaving soon."
"Didn't you say it would take an hour?" asked the old lady.
"Well, I just went to the Youth League Office and then rushed back home, so I don't have much time."
Educated Youth Office...
Hearing these three words, Song Youyou couldn't help but glance at the dusty man.
Did he rush back on the military vehicle because he knew about her situation?
Gu Xiao looked at the little girl's distressed expression, and his heart felt like it was eating honey.
"Are you scared by what happened today?" He approached her and asked in a low voice.
"Ah?" Song Youyou stared at him blankly, and it took her a long time to realize that he was asking about the report letter.
"Not scared." She shook her head.
Looking at her well-behaved appearance, Gu Xiao felt as if his heart was tickled by something, making him feel itchy.
He frowned and said to his family, "I have to rush back to the assembly point for the military vehicles now. I have something to tell Youyou, so we'll leave now."
As he said that, he tugged at Song Youyou's sleeve and asked her to follow him.
Before leaving, he specially took the small box containing the jade bracelet.
Seeing his anxious look, Song Youyou thought he was really in a hurry, so she quickly said goodbye.
"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu, let's go first."
Gu Xiao walked out of the compound, but did not go to the street. Instead, he took Song Youyou to the small garden next to it.
The small garden is shaded by green trees, and it is easy to find a secluded place for men and women to meet each other.
"Aren't you going to the assembly point to catch the troop bus? Why did you bring me here?"
"Because I miss you and want to hug you."
