It snowed heavily in the middle of the night, and in just one night, a thick layer of snow had accumulated at the door.
Early in the morning, Gu Zuozuo, wearing a cotton coat, a Lei Feng hat on his head, and holding a shovel and broom in his hands, began to clean the snow around the house.
Looking around, the mountains, one upon another, were now covered with green snow, and the whole world was silver.
“Chirp…”
The fox, like a snowball, plunged into the snow and rolled over and over, stirring up snowflakes all over the sky.
"Sister Gu! My uncle and I are here to help you!"
Ma Liang's energetic voice rang out outside the gate, and then two figures in military coats walked in.
Ma Jingjun is back?
"Sister Gu, grandma told you to come to my house for dinner today! Grandma stewed your favorite big bones."
Boys aged thirteen or fourteen have grown taller because of their adequate nutrition in recent years, and their voices have begun to become deeper as in the voice change period.
Only those eyes were still sparkling when they looked at Gu Zuozuo.
Ma Jingjun spoke very little. When he arrived, he just nodded and said hello, then started working hard.
He has returned to his original unit and I heard that he has been promoted. He has been doing well in recent years.
Ma Liang quietly came to Gu Zuozuo and lowered his voice to tell Gu Zuozuo gossip about his uncle.
"I heard from grandma that my uncle was chased away by a girl and had no choice but to ask for leave to go home for the New Year."
Gu Zuozuo glanced at Ma Jingjun who was working hard in surprise.
He fits the criteria that girls of this era look for in a man.
He is tough and handsome, tall and long-legged, and he is a soldier wearing four bags. Isn't he popular?
But just based on his righteous and powerful appearance that cannot be bent, and cannot be corrupted by wealth and status, how fierce must that girl be to be able to hide at home when being chased?
Ma Jingjun felt more and more uncomfortable as she stared at him. His ears hidden in his hat turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of embarrassment or the cold wind.
"What are you two looking at me for? Why don't you come over and get to work?"
The big and the small looked at each other, laughed secretly, and hurried to shovel the snow.
Gu Zuozuo didn't expect that he saw the girl at night after talking about her during the day.
When Gu Zuozuo was sleeping soundly, he heard the messy footsteps outside and was instantly awakened. The vines instantly broke out of the ground and hovered at the door, eager to try.
"Gu Zhiqing, open the door quickly!"
The familiar voice made her lose her guard, allowing the vines to climb up the wall and onto the beams, wrapping around them and remaining motionless.
Gu Zuozuo casually put on a cotton jacket and opened the door.
Outside the door, Ma Jingjun hurried in with a figure wrapped in a quilt in his arms. Behind him, Ma Liang and Grandma Ma followed with flashlights in their hands, and two slender figures supported them.
Gu Zuozuo frowned, looked at the familiar figure, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Si Jue?"
Shouldn't this guy be staying at the research institute? Why is he here?
Si Jue curved his brows and waved silently in greeting, with dimples appearing on his cheeks.
"Gu Zhiqing, look at her."
Ma Jingjun untied the quilt, revealing a woman with a purple face inside.
"Frostbitten?"
He placed his hand on her pulse and checked it carefully.
"Where did she come from? She just had surgery and she's running around. Is she trying to kill herself?"
After saying that, he sent all the men away, leaving Grandma Ma to start giving acupuncture.
"Girl, how is she?"
Grandma Ma glanced at the woman lying unconscious with her eyes closed on the kang, and her expression was not particularly pleasant.
Gu Zuozuo retracted the last needle, fed her a pill, and then stood up.
"She's fine. It must have been not long since she had surgery. She's running low on energy and blood, and she was a bit overworked, so the coldness entered her body. That's why she's like this. She should wake up tomorrow."
After looking at Grandma Ma with an unwavering expression and then at the pale-faced woman on the bed, Gu Zuozuo tactfully asked no further questions and called over several men outside the house.
"She's fine. She'll wake up tomorrow. Do you want to leave her here or take her away? If you want to take her away, I'll prepare the medicine for you and you can go home and boil it yourself."
Ma Jingjun wiped his face and frowned tightly.
"Take it away. I won't cause you any trouble. It will disturb your rest at night."
After he said this, the others looked at him in surprise. Then they looked at Gu Zuozuo who had already started to prepare medicine across from him, and a look of contemplation flashed in their eyes.
The other strange man looked deeply at Gu Zuozuo and Ma Liang, walked up to the woman with a gloomy face, wrapped her in the quilt and carried her horizontally.
Si Jue stood quietly in the corner, with a thin vine wrapped around his fingers behind his back.
With a smile in his eyes, Si Jue calmly stroked the branches of the vine. Noticing its even more excited mood, he couldn't help but let the dimples appear on his cheeks again.
After seeing off a few people, Gu Zuozuo turned around and looked at Si Jue who was pretending to be a mushroom in the corner and refused to leave. He raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to pull back the vines.
With this man around, her vines were almost not her own.
"Why are you here?"
Si Jue blinked his big eyes innocently, with a bright and clear look in his eyes.
"I'm here to go to the countryside."
Go to the countryside?
Going to the countryside when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow?
"Are you sick?"
Si Jue smiled even more brightly, and the invisible tail behind him almost turned into a propeller.
"You don't have any ulterior motives, do you?"
"Can you please stop treating me like such a bad person? You can think of me in a positive way. Maybe you'll get an unexpected surprise."
Gu Zuozuo rolled his eyes, picked him up and threw him out.
"Just you? Surprise? It's not even daybreak yet, what nonsense are you talking about."
