Chapter 523 News Consultant
The house suddenly became quiet, and at lunch time, Bai Mei said she was ready to go back to work.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he retched, which made the atmosphere at the table become a little quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, and it was Gu Yuehuai who broke the silence: "Sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Bai Mei's face flushed, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She turned her head and glanced at Gu Tinghuai.
Gu Tinghuai, the father, should have known the news a long time ago. He scratched his head and responded muffledly. Although he was honest and straightforward, his face showed the joy of being a father for the first time, and his eyes were full of affection as he looked at Bai Mei.
Gu Zhifeng was stunned. He never expected that he would soon become a grandfather.
Yan Shaoli was originally still feeling sad about Yan Shaoyang's departure, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help but smile: "That's great, Sister Bai Mei is pregnant, and our family will have a baby soon."
Gu Yuehuai also smiled. For the Gu family, this was indeed an unspeakable good thing: "This is really good news, but it was our negligence. We should have held a wedding for eldest brother and sister-in-law earlier."
Yan Shaoli chuckled and cheered up: "It's not too late to do it now!"
Gu Yuehuai hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Shaoyu and said, "Okay! Then let's start preparing tomorrow!"
I had been planning to return to Huaihai City tomorrow, but I couldn't rush through my eldest brother and sister-in-law's wedding. No matter what, I had to help them finish the wedding before leaving. After all, I probably wouldn't be back for a long time.
When everyone was discussing the wedding of Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei, Gu Xihuai was absent-minded. He was a little worried about Liu Weilan. He wondered whether she had set out for Qing'an County. She hadn't arrived for such a long time. Did something happen to her on the way?
After the discussion about the wedding was over, everyone began intensive preparations the next day.
Having had this experience before, I was naturally much more familiar with organizing a wedding this time.
Soon, Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei held their wedding with the congratulations of their family, neighbors, and relatives and friends.
In the evening, Gu Yuehuai began to pack her luggage. She said, "We have finished all the things at home. Shaoyu and I should go back to the military area. Big brother, you should stay at home for the time being and take good care of sister-in-law. You only need to go to Feng City once a month."
Yan Shaoli's face drooped, he was happy at one moment and sad at the next, it was really uncomfortable.
Gu Yuehuai reached out and touched her head, then took out a bulging envelope and handed it to her: "When we are not around, the family depends on you to take care of it. Here, take these banknotes, buy whatever you want to buy or eat, don't wrong yourself."
Yan Shaoli's eyes turned red: "I'm not a child anymore."
Gu Yuehuai laughed: "Really? If it's not a child, why are you crying?"
Yan Shaoli turned his head to the side, his voice was filled with tears and a bit of loneliness: "Big brother, second brother and you are gone, Shaotang and I are the only ones left at home, when will you come back?"
Gu Yuehuai was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "I can't say for sure, but I promise you that I will come back to see you every year. Is that okay? When your eldest brother is transferred to the capital, I will take you back."
Listening to Gu Yuehuai's gentle and comforting words, Yan Shaoli quickly calmed down.
She also knew that she couldn't be a drag and let them leave without peace of mind. She took the envelope from Gu Yuehuai's hand, opened it and took a look, crying and laughing, "Sister-in-law is really generous. Why did you leave so much money for me?"
Gu Yuehuai gave her a look of wealth and power: "It's okay, our family is not short of money."
The two smiled at each other, dispelling the sadness of parting.
The next day, the Gu family was bustling early in the morning. Bai Mei steamed buns and sweet potatoes and fried pancakes, which she specially asked the two to bring on the road. While they were having breakfast, Wan Qinglan's voice rang out from outside the yard: "Yue Huai, are you home?"
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and went out.
Wan Qinglan didn't come to her wedding, and she thought she hadn't yet come out of the dark experience. Unexpectedly, she suddenly came today. From the calmness in her voice, she thought she had gotten better.
Gu Yuehuai opened the curtain and saw Wan Qinglan standing outside the yard: "Qinglan, how come you have time to come here today?"
Wan Qinglan entered the yard and gave Gu Yuehuai an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I was supposed to come on your wedding day, but I was too weak to stand up. I took two days to recover some energy."
Gu Yuehuai didn't mind it. She looked at Wan Qinglan with concern and asked, "Are you still not feeling well?"
Wan Qinglan shook her head and blinked, "I'm much better now. Here, this is the peanuts, lotus seeds and longans I prepared for you. Eat more. Although it's a little late, I still want to wish you a happy wedding and a baby soon!"
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised and took the bamboo basket handed to him by Wan Qinglan. It was indeed filled with peanuts, lotus seeds, longans and other dried fruits with beautiful meanings. There was also a red envelope in the basket.
Her heart warmed slightly, and she chuckled, "Thank you for your auspicious words. After all, we are both healthy, young and energetic newlyweds. Maybe we will get pregnant in a while. When that happens, I will have to trouble you to prepare a red envelope."
Hearing this, Wan Qinglan's mouth twitched and he gave her a thumbs up: "It really is you who deserves it."
The two chatted and laughed for a while before Gu Yuehuai said that he was about to leave for Huaihai City.
"Huaihai City? You're a military doctor, right? I really envy you for being able to leave Qing'an County." As Wan Qinglan spoke the latter part, her voice gradually lowered and her emotions became suppressed again. To her, Qing'an County had become a dark shackle.
She lost her job and her reputation was ruined, so she always wanted to leave here and make a living somewhere else.
Gu Yuehuai looked at Wan Qinglan with her eyes slightly narrowed, thinking about the grain street business in Feng City. In a few years, the situation would improve and they would have to expand the business. Originally, she wanted to invite Wei Luo, but she didn't expect that Wan Qinglan would lose his job by accident.
There is no problem with Wan Qinglan's character and he is very efficient. He can serve as a news consultant when he goes to Feng City.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai made an invitation: "Qinglan, are you willing to go to Feng City?"
"Fengshi?" Wan Qinglan was stunned. Fengshi used to be notorious and was a place that no one wanted to go to. But since the emergence of Fengshi Grain Street, its reputation has improved a lot.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if I go to Feng City, the Masses Daily there probably won't hire me."
Gu Yuehuai curved his eyes and smiled, "Who said I suggested that you go to the Masses Daily in Feng City?"
"Ah?" Wan Qinglan was even more confused. What else could she do besides working in a newspaper?
Gu Yuehuai blinked and said, "Actually, I was the one who opened Fengshi Grain Street. But I'm very busy on weekdays and don't have time to stay in Fengshi all the time. If you are willing to go, I can help you find a job."
She spoke calmly, but what came out of her mouth left Wan Qinglan dumbfounded.
When she was working at Mass Daily, her colleagues went to Fengshi Grain Street to buy grain, but she never boasted about it at that time. She never expected that the boss behind Fengshi Grain Street was actually her best friend, Gu Yuehuai? !
This news was so shocking that Wan Qinglan couldn't recover for a long time.
