Chapter 271 I Will Not Marry Anyone But Him
Gu Yuehuai no longer knew what the final result was. After she put forward her opinions, she left the breeding station and went to the commune without even returning to the educated youth site. She wanted to go back to the unit and ask Editor-in-Chief Wei for two days of leave.
However, even though I didn't know the result, I still felt good when I saw Cui and Jie's gloomy faces when I left.
After Gu Yuehuai arrived at the commune, he went to the Masses Daily.
She held a stack of drawings and went straight to Wei Luo's editor-in-chief's office.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Luo inside said, "Come in."
When Gu Yuehuai entered the room, she saw Wei Luo sitting behind a desk writing something. She looked up when she heard the noise and was a little surprised when she saw Gu Yuehuai: "Little Gu? I said I would come to see you sometime, why are you back?"
As he spoke, Wei Luo stood up and took two steps towards Gu Yuehuai. He looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that she was not injured. He said, "I heard that you were trapped in the mountains a few days ago. I was worried. I'm glad you're okay."
Gu Yuehuai's brows relaxed and he chuckled, "Thank you, editor-in-chief. I heard that you also went to the commune twice for my matter."
Wei Luo shook his head: "What are you talking about? As long as you are a member of our Masses Daily, I will take care of you. Fortunately, you are fine. I haven't told you yet, why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen to the educated youth?"
Gu Yuehuai said: "No, the educated youth are very good. I came back to deliver the drawings and ask for leave from the editor-in-chief."
Wei Luo took the drawings from her hand and flipped through them one by one. Each one was vivid and captured the charm and life of each person. It was considered excellent newspaper material. She nodded with satisfaction: "The draft is good. You put a lot of effort into it."
After that, she asked again: "You just said you wanted to take a leave? Is there something going on at home?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled slightly and said, "It's a family matter. My boyfriend is going to join the army. I want to stay with him for a few more days before he leaves and make him some food."
She didn't feel shy at all when she said this, instead it was as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
When Wei Luo heard that Gu Yuehuai had a boyfriend, she was shocked. She asked, "Board? As far as I remember, she didn't have one? How come she found one all of a sudden? Did she find one in your team?"
Wei Luo frowned, and his already sad face looked even sadder, as if he was a pig eating a cabbage.
She was too embarrassed to explain herself, so she beat around the bush and said, "You are still young, there is no need to rush to get married. You should wait until your career advances and you make more money before considering relationships."
Gu Yuehuai listened to her intriguing words and couldn't help but smile: "Don't think about it, I won't marry anyone else but him."
Wei Luo: “…”
She seemed to be hesitant to speak, but when she saw Gu Yuehuai's smiling eyes, she couldn't utter any words of persuasion from someone who had experienced it before. She knew from the first time they met that Gu Yuehuai was a person with big ideas, but she didn't expect that the little girl was also like this about love.
Never mind, she is just her colleague, not a relative, and cannot give too much advice.
She looked relaxed and said, "Okay, I'll take two days off."
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Thank you, editor-in-chief. If everything is ok, I will go back first."
Wei Luo nodded, looked at Gu Yuehuai's receding back, folded his arms and shook his head, he just hoped that she could know when to advance and retreat in her relationship and not be sad. Thinking of this, Wei Luo turned around and sat back at his desk to continue writing.

After Gu Yuehuai left Masses Daily, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative with the ticket.
She wanted to buy some meat, but it would be impossible to buy any at this time. After all, the supply of pork is fixed every month, and urban residents are only supplied with one pound of meat per month, which only increases to three pounds during the Spring Festival.
Moreover, there are many tricks to buying pork. The quality of meat is divided into different grades. First-grade meat is 80 cents, second-grade meat is 70 cents, and third-grade meat is 60 cents. Whenever the supply and marketing cooperative has new pork, a long queue will form at the door early in the morning.
Gu Yuehuai came to the supply and marketing cooperative and saw Yao Meili knitting a sweater as soon as he entered the door.
She is indeed the type of good wife and mother, and she does these delicate handicrafts every time we meet.
"Yuehuai!" Yao Meili was startled when she heard the noise and looked up to see Gu Yuehuai. Then she happily put down the needlework in her hand, stood up, waved at her, and said angrily, "You haven't been here for a long time."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Something happened these days, so I didn't have time to come over. How have you been lately?"
Yao Meili spread her hands and said, "It's just like this. What about you? What happened?"
Gu Yuehuai shook his head, unwilling to talk about what happened in the mountains, and said, "I came here today to buy some new fabrics to make bed sheets and quilt covers. Can you bring them out for me to see?"
"New material?" Yao Meili was slightly surprised. Nowadays, unless there was a wedding in the family, no one would spend money to buy material to make new sheets and quilt covers. Could it be that something went wrong with Gu Tinghuai?
Thinking of this, Yao Meili's nerves tensed up. She took out the material absentmindedly and looked at Gu Yuehuai repeatedly. She wanted to ask clearly, but she felt a little embarrassed. In the end, she could only beat around the bush and asked, "Why did you buy new material?"
Gu Yuehuai heard something strange in her tone, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked up at her.
Yao Meili stroked her hair awkwardly and changed the subject, "Look, these materials are all coarse cloth, and the patterns are beautiful. If you don't like them, you can buy the thread and weave them yourself."
Gu Yuehuai just smiled and said nothing, without explaining. He selected two kinds of material and cut a few meters. Fortunately, he had enough tickets and no shortage of cloth coupons, so he bought the goods. He also bought two pieces of tofu and some remaining ribs.
Spare ribs were not popular in the 1970s. They were dry and the bones were heavier than the meat. Ordinary people only bought fat meat, which could be used to make oil and make stews and soups more fragrant. Therefore, the fat meat was generally first-class meat.
When Gu Yuehuai finished shopping and was about to leave, Yao Meili came out of the counter and followed him a few steps, her tone a little awkward: "Yuehuai, didn't you say you would invite me to your house? I'm free anytime, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai burst out laughing. Her elder brother was really charming. Even the girls in the city liked him so much.
After thinking for a while, she said, "I still have some things to do these two days. I'll come to see you when I'm free."
After hearing this, Yao Meili nodded somewhat disappointedly and said with a forced smile: "Okay, then don't forget it."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and went to the county hospital with the things in his arms.
Yao Meili sighed, turned around and went back to the supply and marketing cooperative, touched the dark blue sweater she had knitted, pursed her lips and smiled gently. After a moment, she regrouped and continued knitting the sweater in her hand, hoping to take it with her when she visited someone.
Gu Yuehuai didn't know that Yao Meili was trying hard to please Gu Tinghuai. It took her more than 20 minutes to reach the hospital.
