Chapter 27 I'm Sorry I Hurt You
Lu Youyou lay on the bed, unable to sleep when she thought about getting married tomorrow.
There was a sudden silence before he left. What did Gu Qingye see?
Oh, I'm a little worried...
Lu Youyou turned over and stared at the "little patient" next to him in a daze.
The simple bird's nest has been replaced with a high-end one made of old clothes. In order to make it easier to take care of, Lu Youyou placed it on the bedside table.
She stroked its furry little head and sighed, "Little Gray, Little Gray, am I the most miserable person in the world?"
The young eagle didn't know that it had such an un-domineering name. It rubbed against Lu Youyou's hand. Ever since Lu Youyou fed it food and drink, the miserable little guy regarded her as its mother.
Looking at the carefree appearance of the little ball of fur, Lu Youyou suddenly felt that she was being too pretentious for thinking so much.
Gu Qingye is mature, steady, has a good personality, and is also pleasing to the eye. Although the rescue mission is still unclear, life here is at least not stressful.
So, why think so much, just do whatever makes you comfortable!
Lu Youyou lay back down again, wiping away the awkwardness in her heart bit by bit, just like the newly painted walls in the house, white and smooth as new.
The next morning, not long after Lu Youyou got up, she heard knocking on the door. The knocks were very regular, even the rhythm of the intervals was the same.
As soon as she opened the gate, she felt a strong visual impact.
Gu Qingye was wearing a full set of military uniform, and the brown belt perfectly outlined his sturdy figure.
The moment Lu Youyou raised her head, she happened to meet those eyes as deep as pools. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but he seemed calmer than yesterday.
Gu Qingye also went to bed very late yesterday.
His mind kept replaying the moment when Lu Youyou was stunned and dazed, just when he said he wanted to get the marriage certificate and have the wedding.
Although she hid it well, Gu Qingye still noticed it.
Maybe she was in a hurry to get married because she was eager to leave Qiaoshan Village, but he always remembered Lu Youyou's anxiety when she knew he was injured, and the expectant look in her eyes when she served soup to him.
In the morning light, the girl seemed to be covered with a veil. Looking at her clear and bright eyes, Gu Qingye suddenly felt that there was no need to rush.
There is still a lot of time, take your time.
"I brought you breakfast, including steamed buns and porridge."
Lu Youyou took the lunch box and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Seeing Gu Qingye's response, she immediately said, "Wait for me five minutes, it will be ready soon."
"No hurry, I'll drive, you can eat slowly."
Although Lu Youyou was nodding, she still moved quickly. She picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it into her mouth, and went into the house to change clothes.
She abandoned the most popular pigtails and simply tied her hair into a side ponytail, put on a white shirt and black pants, and when she came out, the whole room was bright.
"Is this okay?" Lu Youyou turned around and asked.
She didn't know what the wedding process was at that time, so she chose the most foolproof suit.
Likewise, this was also the first time that Gu Qingye saw Lu Youyou wearing clothes that fit her perfectly. He vaguely remembered the day at Gu's house when Lu Youyou pressed her entire body against his arm...
He quickly shifted his gaze and said "hmm".
"Then let's go!"
Lu Youyou, no longer entangled, has regained his relaxed look, sitting on the legendary car BJ212, feeling the bumpy road conditions that are very characteristic of the era.
The last time she took this route she was in a convertible truck, and although the view was great, she was too tired to care to look.
Now, although the dirt road is dusty, there is a roof and windows, which does not affect her appreciation of the scenery she missed before.
“Everything is good here except it’s too hot!”
The more Lu Youyou looked at it, the more she liked it. The most important thing was that places with abundant resources also had many treasures, so her plan to train a macho man could proceed smoothly.
"Are you afraid of heat?"
"Yes, I'm afraid. Not only am I afraid of the heat, I'm also afraid of the cold." Lu Youyou said, looking back.
Once people figure things out, they will let themselves go. She grew up in a honey pot and has never experienced any hardship in the common sense.
Gu Qingye pondered for a moment and said, "Let's build a bathroom. I'll ask the logistics department to buy some bricks and cement tomorrow."
Lu Youyou turned around blankly, then his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Can the bathroom be fixed by myself?"
On her first day at the family compound, she was scared away by the large bathhouse. It was a bungalow with no partitions, and once she entered it was like being naked like dumplings.
She really didn't want to be watched by others, so she fetched water and washed at home these days.
Gu Qingye was amused by her pie-in-the-sky expression: "Sure, but you have to dig the sewers yourself and connect them to the main sewer. You can't discharge sewage casually."
"Then why is everyone..." Lu Youyou suddenly stopped, remembering that Gu Qingye seemed to have used the word "buy" just now.
It’s not impossible to live without a bathroom, but probably few people are willing to spend the money.
Although I really want it, I still have to be polite: "Is it too much trouble? Don't delay your work."
Lu Youyou knew nothing about bricklaying, but it was just building a new house, which shouldn't be easy.
"It's not a big deal. We can just build it next to the kitchen and use two walls. It will only take a day or two."
"That's great, it's so...ah, hiss!" Lu Youyou suddenly exclaimed halfway through her speech.
Just now, she passed by a huge pit and was so excited that she didn't pay attention to her sitting posture and hit her coccyx.
It hurts so much, I want to rub it, but it’s not convenient.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Gu Qingye turned to look at her and turned the steering wheel to pull over.
Lu Youyou said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay, I just accidentally hit a bone."
Gu Qingye quickly glanced at the passenger seat. The army car had been modified, and there was a protruding hard object next to the seat. It must have been hit.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you."
What kind of lewd words are these!!!
Lu Youyou suddenly stuttered: "No, it's okay."
She secretly rubbed her slightly hot face and held the handrail tightly. Next time, she would stick to the seat even if the car drove into a sinkhole.
The camp is located in a remote area and we didn't encounter any other cars along the way. However, we saw a bus stop standing alone at a fork in the road.
"Is there a bus here?" Lu Youyou asked curiously.
"There is a bus line from Ancheng to the commune below, with three trips a day. Usually, military dependents who need to go into the city for something come here to catch the bus."
Lu Youyou suddenly realized that she had heard Li Sanhua say before that they went into the city by hitchhiking in the army, and she thought they could only go out once a week.
After calculating the time, it is about two kilometers from the staff quarters to here. Doesn't that mean it will take more than half an hour to walk?
Lu Youyou was shocked. It was too torturous in such a hot summer. If she wanted to carry something, it would be an impossible task.
Walking on the bumpy road and looking at the bus stop sign with mottled and peeling paint, Lu Youyou's understanding of this era is finally not limited to Qiaoshan Village and the staff quarters.
This is the real 1970s, a time when everything was in ruins.
When Lu Youyou came to Ancheng again, her mood was completely different from last time. She couldn't help but smile when passing by the train station.
Gu Qingye turned around and asked, "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Lu Youyou's eyes curved into crescents and pointed at the railway police station outside the window.
"I stayed in there for more than two hours the day I came. At that time, I was thinking, if I can't finish it in one day, I will have to sleep in there."
Lu Youyou chuckled: "If I could stay in the police station for a night, it would be a rare life experience."
Gu Qingye was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at Lu Youyou with a sharp gaze.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault."
