Chapter 348 I took a leave in the afternoon
When Gu Yuehuai and his companions returned home, Bai Mei was leaning on the table, dozing off with her elbows.
The door creaked and she was awakened. She looked up and saw Gu Yuehuai and breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back? How was your first day of class today? Are you hungry? I've heated up some steamed buns and egg soup for you on the stove. Eat and warm up before going to sleep."
After saying that, she brought the rice that had been warming on the stove to the table and called Gu Yuehuai to come over and eat.
Gu Xihuai nudged Gu Tinghuai with his shoulder, and winked at Gu Yuehuai: "Look, big brother has found a good sister-in-law for us. We have hot soup and hot rice to fill our stomachs when we come back so late. We should be secretly happy!"
Gu Yuehuai nodded with a smile and agreed: "Third brother, what you said is true."
Hearing this, Bai Mei felt a little embarrassed, she tucked her hair behind her ears and whispered, "I'll boil some water for you to wash your faces."
"I'll do it, you go and rest!" Gu Tinghuai hurried forward to stop her, pushed her into the house, and went to fetch water and boil water himself.
Gu Yuehuai grabbed the bun and took a few bites. He looked up and saw a neatly-painted marriage certificate on the wall. Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei's names were written on it, and it was also stamped with the commune's official seal. The two were now firmly married.
However, although they got the certificate, they just had no place to live as their wedding house.
Gu Yuehuai thought quietly for a while, and finished eating the buns. She said, "Third brother, drink the egg soup. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon. You don't have to come out to look for me."
After saying that, she went out, walked around to the weeds behind the house, and entered the Sumeru space.
Ever since her house became overcrowded, she didn't go into the Sumeru space often. Fortunately, the space was expanded some time ago, otherwise the rabbits and chickens would have reproduced so fast that they would have occupied the entire space.
Gu Yuehuai came to the thatched hut, looked at several boxes and cages, and after searching for a while, he decided to sell a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets. The value of these bracelets was more than the jade ring he sold in Zhoulan City last time.
Although the family is not short of food now, the things in the space cannot be sold. If they earn a fixed salary, they will not be able to build a house in a short period of time, so they can only use these things to supplement the family's living expenses.
Of course, these are all intangible things, but their value is fully reflected because they can allow the family to live a good life.
He picked out the jade bracelet separately and placed it on the table for easy access, then counted the money.
Although she had income every month, her salary was only more than 20 yuan, which was far less than the money she made from selling grain on the black market. She hadn't been to the black market for a long time, so her money was spent every day and became less and less. Now she only had more than 83 yuan left.
She collected all the vegetables in the field and put them into the space, and picked up some eggs. She was going to give some more eggs to Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei before leaving, and asked them to take the things to the Fangen Brigade to visit Xie Xian, Shitou's family, and the branch secretary Liu Jianguo.
No matter what, severing ties with your parents will always generate a lot of public opinion, and these people can always help.
After tidying up the space, Gu Yuehuai went back.
The hot water in the pot was already boiled. After a simple wash, Gu Yuehuai fell asleep on the kang in the outer room.
Half asleep, she still remembered that Cheng Ling invited her to have lunch at the state-owned restaurant the next day.
…
Gu Yuehuai came to the Mass Daily early, and Wan Qinglan was sleeping at his workstation.
She glanced at Wan Qinglan, then glanced at Huang Binbin who was carefully covering Wan Qinglan with a blanket.
Gu Yuehuai whispered: "Why did she come so early today?"
Huang Binbin shook his head, his face looking a little gloomy, apparently having been rejected recently and felt traumatized.
After an unknown amount of time, Wan Qinglan slowly woke up and stretched. When she saw the blanket on the ground, she paused for a moment, then handed it to Huang Binbin as if nothing had happened, and said politely, "Thank you."
Huang Binbin's expression became increasingly gloomy. He nodded silently and buried his head in his work.
Even if you encounter setbacks in love, you must always move forward courageously in your work.
Wan Qinglan smiled and moved the chair next to Gu Yuehuai, whispering: "Yuehuai! I have already decided to publish the certificate, and it will be sent out today. Coming here so early in the morning is considered a small achievement. Here, take a look."
She handed Gu Yuehuai the newspaper that had been printed early this morning at her workstation, and pointed to a place with a proud look on her face. There, there was a certificate of severance of relationship that took up a quarter of the page.
Just from the length of the article, you can tell that Wan Qinglan put a lot of effort into it.
After all, such certificates are usually placed in an inconspicuous position and will never occupy a quarter of the page.
Gu Yuehuai curled the corners of his lips and said softly: "Qinglan, thank you."
"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? We are best friends!" After saying this, Wan Qinglan glanced at her again and said vaguely: "Well, of course, if you can tell me about Teacher Cheng Ling... I will definitely be happy."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes and said calmly, "He's just an old friend, not very familiar."
What she said was not false. She was indeed not very familiar with Cheng Ling. It was because of him that she came to his aid. While she expressed her gratitude, she also had some thoughts of taking advantage of him. What was the relationship?
Wan Qinglan rubbed his hands: "Didn't he say he would treat you to lunch at noon? Hey, can I..."
Gu Yuehuai picked up the paintbrush and said bluntly: "No."
I've already said that she's not that familiar with Cheng Ling, and he's treating her, so why did she bring a portrait?
Wan Qinglan pouted and muttered quietly, "Stingy, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
Gu Yuehuai drew for a while, thought of Xu Dongmei and Bai Shan, and said, "By the way, I'm going to take a leave of absence this afternoon. Who knows, someone might come and ask about the newspaper proof. Just tell the truth then."
Wan Qinglan glared and yelled, "You're not coming this afternoon?"
Everyone looked over here. Wan Qinglan smiled sheepishly, then approached Gu Yuehuai with a dark face: "You ask for leave like drinking water. How can you be a team leader if you keep doing this? You have to work hard and not lose to Liu Qiang!"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Everyone has left, how can I lose? Besides, I am not interested in being the team leader. You can work hard on your own. When you become the editor-in-chief, you can protect me, right?"
Wan Qinglan is talented and has a good personality. If he really works hard, he might be able to take over Wei Luo's job.
As for her, she will leave Mass Daily sooner or later.
"Me?" Wan Qinglan pointed at himself in disbelief, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this made sense.
After a while, when Gu Yuehuai was immersed in painting, Wan Qinglan suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes! You are right! I will work hard, maybe I can become the editor-in-chief in the future, and then I can really protect you!"
Gu Yuehuai was stunned and laughed. It was a good thing for a person to have a goal. She was very optimistic about Wan Qinglan.
