Chapter 99 We are a family from now on, treat me as your mother
Zhang Yulan's eyes were full of love for Gu Wanxing. As she spoke, she took out a green bracelet from her trouser pocket and put it on her wrist when she was not paying attention.
Gu Wanxing instinctively pulled it down, which was a bit too much. She grinned and said:
"No, auntie, this is too expensive."
"Is it more valuable than your medicine box?" Zhang Yulan remembered that medicine box, it was emerald green without any impurities.
Gu Wanxing thought to herself that it was certainly not that valuable, but compared to her life, it was naturally nothing.
"It's just a container..."
Before she finished speaking, Fu Zheng came in with cucumbers, his eyes smiling deeply:
“This cucumber is delicious.”
"Everything from Wanxingzhong is delicious. The peppers I got last time were all sweet." Zhang Yulan also agreed with her son's statement. It was indeed delicious and she had eaten it.
Just as Gu Wanxing was thinking about taking off the bracelet, she heard the sound of running footsteps outside.
"elder brother--"
Fu Yiyi ran into the house and saw the tall figure in the house. She immediately jumped onto Fu Zheng.
Fu Zheng was stunned for a second, then looked at Gu Wanxing calmly. Seeing her smiling face, he pulled Fu Yiyi off his body.
Zhang Yulan also smiled and joked: "Yiyi, you are already a grown-up girl, so keep your distance from your brother from now on."
Fu Yiyi's eyes were red, and she rubbed them: "Brother, it's great that you are not dead, wuwu~ You scared us to death, do you know how we got through these days, wuwu~"
The little girl's tears fell down, and as she spoke, she hit her brother with the schoolbag in her arms.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Wash your hands and eat right away."
Fu Zheng rubbed his sister's hair randomly, messing up her hairstyle.
Fu Yiyi cried for a while, then stopped. Later she realized that she saw that beautiful figure smiling at her.
"Sister Wanxing, you're here. Woohoo, I didn't even see you."
The little girl threw her schoolbag on the cabinet beside her, walked quickly forward, and started to act coquettishly, holding Gu Wanxing's arm tightly.
"Oh, are you annoying? Get out of here quickly. It's so hot. Don't bother your sister. Go, go, go wash your hands."
Zhang Yulan couldn't help but feel a toothache when she saw her daughter like that. She was clingy and annoying.
Fu Yiyi turned a deaf ear to her mother's words: "Sister Wanxing, you look so beautiful today."
Ever since Gu Wanxing met this little girl in the rain that day, she has been cheerful and lively, and very talkative. Even when she twisted her foot and couldn't walk, she pushed her on a bicycle and she kept chattering all the way.
So I like her very much.
"I'm not as pretty as you." She was telling the truth. Fu Yiyi looked very much like the actress who played Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber, with big eyes and a small mouth, except that her face had some baby fat and her chin was not that pointed.
Her nose is very similar to Fu Zheng's, but her overall appearance is not like Zhang Yulan. She must look like their father.
"Hey, it has to be my sister. I love to listen to what she says. We both look good. Well, you sit down. I'm going to wash my hands and come back soon."
Gu Wanxing waved his hand, signaling her to go quickly.
…
Soon, Fu Zheng and Zhang Yulan brought all the dishes out from the kitchen.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Gu Wanxing was very touched. It was because of the two times she came here that Zhang Yulan chatted with her and asked her about it.
She said she loved eating sauerkraut pork ribs, minced meat and tofu, and chicken stewed with mushrooms, and now the table is full of things she talked about.
It was just a casual chat, but I don't know how I remembered it.
Fu Zheng saw her staring blankly at the table, her eyebrows becoming softer and the curve of her lips becoming bigger and bigger.
Then he picked up a large bone and put it in her bowl.
"Eat, eat more." His gentle voice brought Gu Wanxing back to his senses.
"Thank you very much."
She lightly supported the bowl as a polite response.
Fu Yiyi looked at her brother, then at Gu Wanxing beside her. She felt something was strange. Then her round eyes suddenly widened as if she had discovered a new world, and she was about to scream out.
However, Zhang Yulan was on guard against her. She stuffed a piece of chicken into her mouth and signaled her to shut up with her eyes.
Gu Wanxing noticed these little movements and was slowly thinking about how to make his words clear.
She saw that Fu Zheng's mother didn't object. This was totally unreasonable. Which mother would want her son to find a divorced woman with children?
I guess he just has some unspeakable grievances.
"Sister Wanxing, eat this."
"Eat more of this, you're too thin."
After a while, everyone took a little bit, and a big bowl was piled in front of her.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. With Fu Yiyi as the happy person, the atmosphere couldn't be dull.
Gu Wanxing was a little full and hardly had to pick up the food herself. She didn't finish the ones they helped her pick up.
"Sister Wanxing, please teach my mom your secret of growing cucumbers. They're so delicious! I couldn't get enough last time, so I basically ate them raw."
Fu Yiyi ate a raw cucumber while staring at Gu Wanxing with her bright eyes and chattered incessantly.
"Yes, tomatoes are delicious too. Wanxing, how do you grow them? I haven't transplanted the cucumbers I planted yet, and haven't put them up on the trellis yet. When they're ripe, try them. They're astringent."
Zhang Yulan's words completely stunned Gu Wanxing. Yes, it was June now and the vegetables at home had not grown yet. It would take until late July before we could eat vegetables.
How could she have forgotten about this?
Just as she was struggling with how to smooth things over, Fu Zheng spoke up, "I can stay home for a while longer this time. I'll leave after Yiyi's summer vacation is over."
He saw her embarrassment and changed the subject.
Besides, what he said was true. This time he was on injury leave. Although the pill repaired the injury on his leg, his leg was almost squeezed and stuck together.
There are dense red marks on the surface, which look like patterns at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see that those marks are all wounds on the legs.
An old professor at the military hospital examined him and said that his bones had just healed, so he was not suitable for training or walking frequently. It would take some time to recover slowly.
That's why he had this extra long vacation.
"That long."
Zhang Yulan was so happy today that she didn't even bother to ask her son how many days of vacation he would have.
The most important thing is that I just took a two-week vacation after the Chinese New Year.
I didn't hold out much hope this time.
I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
"Yeah." Fu Zheng nodded slightly.
Seeing her son sitting there well, Zhang Yulan felt relieved and grateful to Gu Wanxing. Without her pills, her son would be gone, and without her son, she would not be able to live.
She had advised her son to retire or change his career, but he refused to listen. She also knew that the brat was secretly investigating the truth behind his father's disappearance.
But some things have no answers after all.
Gu Wanxing looked at the sky outside and decided to leave early, so she walked back to Gujiazhuang.
The two villages are separated by a paddy field, and you can enter the village by crossing it.
"Aunt, Yiyi, I'll be going back first. Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you for remembering what I said and making so many of my favorite dishes. I haven't eaten these dishes for more than ten years since my mother died."
If you add the last life, it would have been more than forty years since she last had this meal, she thought secretly.
Zhang Yulan frowned slightly, and said with a look of heartache: "What are you talking about, child? We will be a family from now on. Treat me as your mother. Just tell me what you want to eat. I can make it. Our Zhengzi can make it too. His cooking is especially delicious..."
As soon as Gu Wanxing saw her expression, he knew what she was going to say, and just like Lin Shan, he started to promote Fu Zheng.
But she couldn't understand why she, as a mother, would agree to it.
But no matter what it was, she should make it clear, so Gu Wanxing raised her face and said seriously:
"Aunt, I need to make something clear. You may also know about him...some of our affairs."
"Comrade Fu and I are not suitable. He deserves better. We are partners and friends. I don't want to break this relationship, so... I will just pretend you didn't say anything."
When he said the last sentence, Gu Wanxing's gaze fell directly on Fu Zheng.
Then she took off the bracelet on her wrist that was already stained with her body temperature and placed it on the dining table.
