Chapter 338 I Will Be Your Dad From Now On
Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei listened to Gu Yuehuai's mutterings and looked at her receding figure, feeling a little amused and helpless.
In an instant, the tense mood and awkward atmosphere were relieved.
Gu Tinghuai sighed, and when Bai Mei was worried again, he gently took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said in a firm and gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, just like Yue Huai said, you are the most innocent person in this matter. It's all your parents and Huang Sheng's fault. What does it have to do with you? I like you and want to marry you, and this has nothing to do with it."
Hearing this, Bai Mei pursed her lips, feeling a little sour in her throat. She whispered, "Thank you for still being willing to marry me."
Gu Tinghuai was a little unhappy. He pushed her away and said unhappily, "You actually want to thank me? Isn't this what we have already agreed on? Do you want to marry someone else? I won't agree to that. I will go and grab the marriage!"
Bai Mei burst into laughter, and all the gloom disappeared with Gu Tinghuai's words.
She suddenly felt that her fate was not as bad as she had imagined. At least she met Gu Tinghuai.
"Let's go get the marriage certificate tomorrow. You can just stay at home peacefully without any pressure." Gu Tinghuai said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed to speak and hesitated, "Well, that, I... I..."
Bai Mei blinked and looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?"
Gu Tinghuai's throat rolled and his ears felt hot.
He said, "I can't afford the bride price right now, and I can't give you a good life. I... I was planning to join the army after the New Year, but I didn't expect... Don't worry, I will still join the army. I want you to live a good life."
The allowance for being a soldier is very considerable, but once you go, you will be like Yan Shaoyu, not only will you not be able to go home for a year, but when you encounter dangerous missions, you will have to work hard with your head on the belt.
However, he had no special skills and could not find a stable job, so he could only make a living by doing this.
Of course, he could continue to earn work points, like an ordinary person, digging for food all his life, but how could he give Bai Mei a good life? She was a nurse, delicate and tender, and she couldn't suffer just because she married him.
A man should always provide his woman with a good living environment and work hard to improve the situation at home.
Bai Mei had already learned from Gu Yuehuai that Gu Tinghuai was going to join the army, and she was already prepared, but when she heard it suddenly, she pursed her lips and lowered her head. She didn't want him to leave.
Thinking of this, Bai Mei whispered: "I don't need a betrothal gift, I don't need anything."
Gu Tinghuai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
"Xiaomei, I will try my best. When the time comes, I will take you to accompany the army as a family member. Is that okay?" After saying that, he scratched his head and said with some distress: "But then you won't be able to be a nurse."
Hearing this, Bai Mei suddenly remembered that Gu Yuehuai gave up his job as an art editor and turned to study medicine.
Then, could she also join the army and become a military doctor like her? Wouldn't that be the best way to do both?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Tinghuai thought she was still unwilling and became a little anxious.
"Xiaomei, I really want to give it a try. I don't want to waste my whole life in the Dalaozi Production Brigade. I'm very lucky to have found you as my wife. I want to be even luckier for the rest of my life."
Gu Tinghuai felt his mouth was a little dry, and whispered: "Can you understand me?"
Bai Mei had figured it out now. Even though she didn't want to, she wanted to respect Gu Tinghuai's idea, so she said, "Let's go back first. You can't leave before you get married, right? It's going to be after the New Year anyway."
Gu Tinghuai grinned and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay!"
The two went home hand in hand. What happened tonight not only did not create a rift between them, but made their relationship even more harmonious. They were about to step into new identities, and the couple who were about to get married looked at each other with love.
As soon as they returned home, they saw Gu Zhifeng sitting on the kang.
He was holding a walnut in his hand, and when he saw the two of them, a smile appeared on his face. Seeing that he was not curious at all about Bai Mei's return, it was known that he already knew what happened tonight.
Bai Mei held her breath, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her hand as she held Gu Tinghuai's.
Although Gu Yuehuai and Gu Tinghuai didn't care about this matter, she was very afraid that Gu Zhifeng would despise her and think that marrying a daughter-in-law like her would be ridiculed, and she would inevitably regret it if her family suffered misfortune.
Gu Zhifeng may have noticed Bai Mei's nervousness. He chuckled and said in a soft voice, "Xiao Bai, just stay here peacefully from now on. Don't be afraid. I will be your father from now on, your real father!"
His words were so powerful that the bitterness that had originally subsided in Bai Mei's heart surged up again.
She looked at Gu Zhifeng and found that there was no disgust in his eyes, only heartache.
Tonight was really eventful enough. The first half was pain and relief, while the second half was happiness and relief. The feeling of ice and fire made her feel a little dizzy, as if her whole life had new hope and courage.
She is not a person without family. After losing Bai Shan and Xu Dongmei, she has a new family.
Bai Mei choked up and said, "Thank you, thank you Uncle Gu."
Gu Zhifeng waved her hands and said as a matter of course: "Why thank you? We are all family. If the boss bullies you in the future, just tell me. We in the Gu family don't bully women. Women are the ones who make the decisions!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mei smiled a little embarrassedly.
Yan Shaoli chuckled, and treated Bai Mei the same as before. He walked up to her, took her arm, and said happily: "Sister Bai Mei, Yue Huai said that you will sleep with us at night, and she will sleep in the outer room by herself."
"You don't know, she goes to bed late and gets up early. Every day I feel like I don't have this roommate."
As he said that, Yan Shaoli glanced at Gu Yuehuai unhappily.
She sat at the table, studying by the kerosene lamp. She didn't care at all about what Yan Shaoli said, and said calmly, "It's okay. I'll change roommates in the future, and I won't feel this way. You may not see me for a whole day."
Yan Shaoli's eyes widened when he heard this: "That's too much. We should at least cultivate the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, right?"
"Hehe." Gu Yuehuai gave a dry laugh, causing Yan Shaoli to pout.
After the two of them interrupted, everyone had a smile on their face.
Gu Tinghuai poured Bai Mei a cup of hot water and asked, "Have Xiao Lei and the others left?"
Gu Xihuai poked his head out from the inner room and said, "Let's go. It's getting late. Go to bed early. Yuehuai has to go to work tomorrow."
Gu Yuehuai closed the medical book, pressed his sore eyes, and said, "Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. I'm going on a long trip, probably in the next few days. When I come back, we'll build a new house."
Her words had a strong subtext, but only Gu Zhifeng in the audience could understand them.
