Chapter 226 Give an Explanation
Gu Yimin looked down at the two passbooks in her hands, her heart warming. Not to mention they weren't engaged yet, even if they were married, the man wouldn't have to hand over much of his salary. Ye Chi was expressing his feelings with his actions.
Gu Yimin stroked the two passbooks with his thumb, thought for a moment and said, "Take the passbooks back first and give them to me later."
Ye Chi knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so he took the passbook she handed over and said, "Okay, it's all under your control from now on. So, during your summer vacation, let me and my dad go to your house to propose marriage?"
"I'll discuss it with my parents and then give you a reply." Engagement is a big deal, and you must tell your family in advance.
"Okay." Ye Chi also knew this, and he also wanted to discuss with his father how to set up the marriage. The ceremony and the betrothal gift were both necessary.
"I'll be able to apply for housing in the military district after I file my marriage report." Ye Chi held her close, their faces almost touching, the air he exhaled brushing against her cheek as he spoke. It was the first time they had been this close, and Gu Yimin felt a little shy, but also a little sweet.
"If we live in the military compound in the city, I won't apply for a house." Ye Chi asked again: "Where do you want to live?"
"Let's talk about applying for housing after I graduate," Gu Yimin thought about his future job. His company was planning to move to Kyoto, but they had no idea when exactly. They could only take it one step at a time.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ye Chi said with a smile.
Gu Yimin glared at him, "You're quite good at coaxing people."
"I'm really not kidding you, Yimin," Ye Chi's voice became serious, "I'm a soldier. After I get married, I'm destined not to be like other husbands who can always accompany their wives. So as long as we are together, I will listen to you." Pamper you.
Gu Yimin understood what it meant to be a military wife. She knew how difficult her mother's life was when her father was in the army.
"I know it's not easy to be a military wife, and I'm mentally prepared. If there's anything I don't do well in the future, I can learn from it."
Ye Chi's heart swelled at her words. He hugged her tightly in his arms and said, "You've done very well, really well."
The two of them were so affectionate that Ye Chi didn't leave until after ten o'clock, and came back early the next day. It was a rare Sunday, so they definitely had to go on a date. Kong Xiuwan naturally didn't bother them, saying she was just wandering around Kyoto on her own.
After Gu Yimin and Ye Chi left, Kong Xiuwan went directly to Tsinghua University. Han Zhengping was going to take an exam today, and although she couldn't go in, she felt more at ease waiting outside the school gate.
What she didn't know was that someone not far away was watching her every move.
Three days later, the mother and son took the train back to Lizhou. Gu Siqing knew that Han Zhengping had returned, so she trotted to Han's house. Kong Xiuwan couldn't help laughing when she saw the two children whispering to each other.
Gu Siqing followed Han Zhengping into his room and asked quietly, "Nothing happened, right?"
Han Zhengping took out the gift he brought her from his bag and said, "What could it be?"
Gu Siqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing happened, it meant they hadn't run into each other. And really, Kyoto is such a big city, how could they just run into each other?
Han Zhengping peeled a piece of preserved fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. He watched her chewing with her pink little mouth puffed out. She looked like a greedy squirrel, so adorable. He smiled and said, "The high school entrance exam is coming soon. How are you studying?"
"It should be... no problem." Gu Siqing said incoherently while eating.
Han Zhengping smiled and peeled another preserved fruit, preparing to feed her after she finished the one in her mouth. "Then do well in the exam. Don't worry about me."
Gu Siqing nodded. It was useless for her to worry, as it would not help.
"My building is finished, and my dad said he'll move the company there after I finish my exams."
"I'll go help you when the time comes," Han Zhengping stuffed another one into her mouth when he saw that she had finished the candied fruit.
"How can you help?"
"If I can't help you in a big way, I can always help you in a small way."
"That's right."
The two began to gossip, talking about all sorts of things.
Gu Siqing's high school entrance examination results and Han Zhengping's National Mathematical Olympiad results came out on the same day. Gu Siqing was admitted to Lizhou No. 1 Middle School without any suspense, while Han Zhengping took first place in the national competition.
Both families were very happy. Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi walked with a breeze and had a beaming face every day. Gu Jianguo waved his hand again and held a promotion in the supermarket, giving out candies.
This time, many people in Lizhou City know that the daughter of supermarket owner Gu has been admitted to a key high school. Let's see how other people's children are raised.
The Gu family's office and dormitory building was completed and renovated, and Gu Jianguo began to arrange to move the company there. Some of the company's employees had already moved in.
Gu Jianguo's two comrades brought their families with them. After working in a supermarket for a while, they decided they could earn more money working outside the home than farming. Cao Zhiyong brought his two older, unschooled sons to Lizhou to work as laborers in a private factory.
Cao Zhiyong and his two sons were very satisfied with their monthly income of thirty or forty yuan, which was about the same as that of workers in state-owned factories. Gu Jianguo arranged a large room for the three of them, so they could squeeze in.
Xu Dafei brought his eldest daughter and second son. His eldest daughter worked at Guangming Supermarket, and his second son worked in the same factory as Cao Zhiyong's two sons. Gu Jianguo arranged two rooms for them.
Both of them were very grateful to Gu Jianguo and expressed their gratitude many times.
Everything was on track, and Gu Jianguo was no exception, arranging a large office for himself. He thought the layout was quite elegant, but Gu Siqing thought it looked very nouveau riche. No matter what happened, as long as he was happy, that was all.
Everything was on track, but no one expected that a few months later something not too small would happen. For the first time, the marriage between Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju was in crisis.
The thing is, in November, Guangming Chao opened three branches in the prefecture-level cities below. Although Gao Zhengjun was very capable, opening three stores at once, and they were not in Lizhou, kept Gu Jianguo and Gu Erhui very busy.
After finally finishing the work, they thought they could take a break, but at this time Xu Dafei's wife Zhang Ximei came to their home and said that her daughter Xu Qiaoqiao was pregnant and the child was Gu Jianguo's, and she wanted Gu Jianguo to give an explanation.
This incident was a huge bombshell in the Gu family. What was even more speechless was that when Zhang Ximei came, there was no shame in her tone or expression. Instead, she said confidently that her daughter was definitely pregnant with a son.
Zhang Ximei said this in front of Wang Yueju, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.
