After Gu Qinglin sent Yang Fang out, Shen Man looked at the time and it was already late.
She washed up and went to bed. Time passed little by little, and it was getting darker outside.
She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought about what would happen tonight.
Her heart was filled with confusion, anxiety, and all kinds of mixed emotions, making it hard for her to fall asleep.
I watched the night grow darker outside the window. The window was not closed properly and a gust of cold wind blew in from outside.
Shen Man sighed, got out of bed and went to close the window. When she walked to the window, she could vaguely see the faint light on the opposite side through the window.
If she remembered correctly, that place was Gu Qinglin's study. It was called a study, but it was actually the place where he usually read and wrote.
It's already two or three in the middle of the night, and I'm still not asleep.
Through the window, Shen Man could even vaguely see the shadow on the opposite wall. He lowered his head slightly, holding a pen in his hand, and stopped writing something. He wrote a few times, paused for a moment, and then continued writing.
She was a little surprised, and then she remembered what the man had said tonight about writing a marriage report. Will he keep writing it until now?
Is it so difficult to write a marriage report?
Shen Man thought about it and thought it should be a marriage report. Gu Qinglin hadn't explained their affairs to his parents yet, so it shouldn't happen so soon, so she started writing the marriage report.
I guess he is busy with work or something else.
Thinking of this, Shen Man didn't take it to heart. After closing the window, she lay back on the bed and began to sleep with her eyes closed.
This time I finally fell asleep.
At the same time.
Opposite.
Gu Qinglin finally finished writing the marriage report, lowered his eyes to read it, frowned slightly, crumpled it into a ball, threw it aside, picked up the pen and continued writing.
It wasn't until dawn that I finally wrote down what I wanted.
As soon as Gu Xiaobei woke up, he found his father and ran to this small study room.
When he saw the paper balls on the desk, he blinked and said, "Dad, what are these?"
As he was talking, he lowered his head and picked up a ball of paper, and was about to open it, but at the critical moment, it was snatched away by a big hand.
After a sleepless night, the man's eyes were dark and tired, but his eyebrows and eyes were still handsome and superior. He took the child from his bed and sat him on his lap, then raised his hand and touched the child's forehead again.
Well, I don't have a fever anymore.
Gu Qinglin looked down into the child's eyes and said, "Xiaobei, in two months, you can be her mother. No matter if there are outsiders around, you can be her mother anytime you want."
Gu Xiaobei's eyes lit up instantly, and he held Gu Qinglin's hand tightly, very excited, "Dad, is what you said true? I will be your aunt soon?"
"Of course it's true, but it's still a little while until it's confirmed."
"During this time, Xiaobei, you must be more obedient."
"Don't worry, Dad, I will be obedient."
As long as you love mom, I'm willing to do anything.
…
Early the next morning.
Shen Man had just woken up. She found a piece of clothing and put it on. She washed up, picked up her things, opened the door and went out to work.
As soon as she walked out, the door opposite suddenly opened.
Gu Qinglin walked out of the house and handed two meat buns in his hand to Shen Man.
"Take it and eat it on the way. It's freshly made this morning and is still warm."
The man had outstanding features, a tall stature, and a gentle charm.
The aroma of the delicious meat buns hits your nose and makes you swallow your saliva.
Shen Man still took the meat bun and said, "Thank you."
In fact, another reason why she agreed to marry him was that this man's cooking skills were really good.
In the past, she had taken care of the Lu family for more than a year, and she had taken on almost half of the housework, without anyone helping her.
If she remarries, she will definitely want to serve others.
Gu Qinglin's eyebrows softened, "Thank you very much, I should."
"At noon, when you get off work, I'll take you to the post office to make a phone call so you can hear your parents' agreement in person."
"Mom and Dad will definitely be very happy to know that you are Uncle Shen's daughter-in-law."
Mom and Dad?
How did I suddenly get to know my parents?
Shen Man's face turned red and she glared at the man. "What are you talking about? You haven't even started yet. Wait until you get your marriage report."
OK, I'm going to work now, you can go back to your room."
After saying that, she turned around, got on her bike, and quickly left.
Gu Qinglin watched her disappear without saying a word to refute her.
On the other hand, there will definitely be some problems with my parents. I just have to wait until I return to the army to submit the marriage report. Once the political review is successful and the report is approved, the relationship between the two will be completely settled.
On the way to work.
Shen Man was riding her bicycle while eating a big meat bun that made her mouth water.
There are several ginkgo trees on both sides of the street, and the golden ginkgo leaves fall in the wind. The autumn breeze blows gently, blowing Shen Man's hair.
The more you eat this meat bun, the more delicious it tastes. It also contains some chopped mushrooms, a hint of ginger, and other seasonings.
Shen Man looked down at the big meat bun in her hand, her heart agitated and her emotions were rising and falling. She lowered her head and took a bite, her mouth full of fragrance.
She also knew how Gu Qinglin cooked it. The meat buns were even tastier than hers. From now on, she would let him cook for the family so that she could sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Arriving at the factory, Shen Man sat in the office working for a while when suddenly someone called her from outside.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, someone is looking for you at the factory gate."
Shen Man was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to ask who it was, the person had already left.
Few people in the Propaganda Department office heard this.
Someone glanced at Shen Man and said, "Xiao Shen, is it possible that one of your suitors is coming to you with food or movie tickets?"
"I think that even though Xiao Shen is divorced, she is still so charming and has no shortage of suitors."
"You are jealous, right? Xiao Shen is pretty. I have lived for decades and have never seen a prettier young lesbian than her. If someone likes her, she will be very popular. For those of us who are average looking, forget it."
Ever since the news of Shen Man's divorce spread, several men would come to see her every now and then.
These men would be fine in general, but they are some of the factory's executives, from the workshop manager to the machine shop engineer and the young doctor in the infirmary.
Almost all of them have average qualifications and are good-looking. They are all young girls in the factory who want to find a marriage partner.
Xi, one or two, all surrounded Shen Man, a divorced woman.
