Chapter 7 Engagement Gift
"But what?" Gu Chengfeng's body froze and his smile froze.
"But we've agreed that once your illness is cured, we'll get a divorce." Shen Sisi refused to budge, her attitude firm: "Political Commissar Feng, you too will be a witness."
"No, why?" Feng Yanzhou didn't understand. Wouldn't it be even more joyful if the disease was cured? Why did they want a divorce?
Shen Sisi's heart sank. She knew that Gu Chengfeng had a childhood sweetheart with whom he had a very good relationship. He was sent to Lin County in the first place because he was jealous and fought with others for that girl.
His childhood sweetheart also lived in the military compound and was still in college. If it weren't for his injuries, they would have been together a long time ago.
If Gu Chengfeng could cure...
She must get a divorce, she doesn't want to separate lovers.
Shen Sisi said in a deep voice: "No reason... This is the only condition I insist on."
Although she also knew that she was not qualified to make conditions.
Gu Chengfeng's knuckles turned white from pinching. As expected, she... only agreed to marry him because she felt sorry for him. Could it be that she still couldn't forget that man?
His teeth were almost broken: "Okay, whatever you say!"
It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but Gu Chengfeng couldn't smile.
Feng Yanzhou also squinted his eyes because of the headache.
I thought Shen Sisi was a smart person who knew how to judge the situation and choose Gu Chengfeng.
Unexpectedly, she offered such conditions, leaving no way for Gu Chengfeng to survive.
He silently gave Gu Chengfeng a sympathetic look, raised Niuniu with both hands, and broke the silence first: "Um... Niuniu, you are going to have a new father..."
Niu Niu didn’t know what the adults were talking about, but when she heard the words “new dad”, she danced with joy.
Yay, she has a dad!
No longer a wild child born by a mother but not raised by a father!
But...is the new father this bearded uncle?
Niu Niu pouted, and her eyes, which seemed too big because she was too thin, looked at Gu Chengfeng timidly.
Although this uncle is also good, she prefers Uncle Feng who holds her.
Why can't Uncle Feng be her father?
I really want my mother to marry Uncle Feng...
Gu Chengfeng was at a loss as to what to do when he heard the word "new father". His eyes turned towards Niu Niu with a little more tenderness.
Shen Sisi blushed and didn't even dare to raise her head.
Political Commissar Feng is too...direct in his words!
Now that the matter has been finalized, the next step is to go back and write a report.
If you want to get married in the military, the other party will be investigated and politically reviewed.
Feng Yanzhou looked at Shen Sisi who fell into deep thought. This sister-in-law’s background and story... were quite terrible!
In front of Shen Sisi, Feng Yanzhou did not dare to reveal it, but just winked at Gu Chengfeng.
"Well, you and your sister-in-law can stay in Lin County and leave the formalities to me. Marriage is a big deal. I will first say hello to the village on your sister-in-law's behalf and go back early tonight to report the situation to the leaders." Feng Yanzhou said.
Gu Chengfeng hummed and gave him an appreciative look.
"Go ahead. When you get back, I'll invite you to my house for a drink."
Shen Sisi's mind was full of "sister-in-law, sister-in-law", and she couldn't speak clearly: "Um...thank you, Political Commissar Feng."
"You're still calling me Political Commissar? Call me Brother Feng."
"Thank you, Brother Feng!"
The sound of "Brother Feng" was so sweet that Feng Yanzhou couldn't stop smiling. He gritted his teeth and promised, "Don't worry, I'll take care of your happiness."
Feng Yanzhou left in a hurry, otherwise he would miss the tractor to Jinfeng Village.
Only Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng were left, with Niuniu, who had wide eyes and a curious look on her face, sandwiched between them.
Gu Chengfeng's face flushed and his heart beat fast. Seeing that Shen Sisi was also daydreaming, he spoke first: "Um... let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something?"
Shen Sisi came back to her senses: "Buying things?"
"Such a big thing, shouldn't we tell our family members?"
After he reminded me, I thought about my aunt.
She only had her aunt as a relative in Lin County, so since getting married was such a big thing, she really had to inform her aunt first.
I have to catch a train tomorrow, so time is very tight.
So, Shen Sisi didn't act pretentiously. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded in agreement.
"You're being thoughtful and want to talk to them about it."
She stood up, opened her arms and was about to pick up Niuniu, but was snatched away by Gu Chengfeng: "Let me do it!"
Niu Niu struggled a little, like a kitten being tickled in his arms, but finally she gave up the struggle and let these strong arms hold her tightly.
"It's windy outside, so put on your scarf and leave the child to me!" Gu Chengfeng reached out to help her adjust the knitted scarf around her neck and found that there was a hole in it that had been hooked at some point.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative later, and I'll buy you a new scarf."
Shen Sisi lowered her head and saw the conspicuous hole: "No need..."
Gu Chengfeng didn't give her any chance to refuse: "I have quite a lot of tickets, and I don't usually use them in the barracks, so I might as well keep them."
Shen Sisi knew that he said this on purpose, and she also knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only blush and say, "Then... thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? We'll be husband and wife soon. This is what I should do. I, Gu Chengfeng, will never suffer hardship or grievance."
He said this with his neck stiff, not daring to look at Shen Sisi's expression. He picked up Niuniu and turned around to walk out.
He had long legs and took big steps, so he created distance between them in just a few steps. Chen Sisi looked at his back and was about to catch up with him when she found that Gu Chengfeng slowed down his pace and was subconsciously waiting for her.
Looking at his tall and handsome back, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly in thought.
After leaving the hospital, the two went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
Two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of Maozi liquor, two pounds of milk candy and fruit candy, four pounds of red dates, five pounds of flour, a basket of eggs, and two strips of pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat.
Gu Chengfeng wanted to buy more, but Shen Sisi glared at him, pulled his clothes and said it was too much.
If you don’t know, you might think he is going to propose marriage.
Gu Chengfeng carried the bags in one hand and held Niuniu in the other: "When your parents are not around, your aunt is your elder. This is as it should be."
Shen Sisi felt a little sad. Ever since she brought Niu Niu up, she never thought that anyone would be nice to her, let alone that anyone would value her family.
She stared at Gu Chengfeng in a daze, but saw him walk straight to the women's clothing counter and waved at her: "Come here and take a look."
His hands are beautifully shaped and his fingers are strong.
Thinking of the feeling of being held by this big hand just now, her cheeks became hot.
"What style do you like?" Gu Chengfeng saw that her clothes were old and had some pilling on them. Although they had been carefully cared for, the fabric was still a little faded.
Seeing her standing still, he was silent for a while, his eyes always fixed on her: "If you don't choose, I will choose for you as an engagement gift."
Shen Sisi felt pained looking at the pile of gifts. Gu Chengfeng was too extravagant when buying things, just like buying cabbages.
"Really?" Shen Sisi was about to refuse, but the salesperson smiled brightly and said, "So you're getting engaged? Then you have to choose red. Red is festive."
The red wool coat is the most expensive item in the entire counter.
"The size and shape of this dress are perfect. It will look great on this lesbian!"
"How about I take it off and give it to you to try?"
Before Shen Sisi could speak, Gu Chengfeng raised his chin coldly and looked at the simple straight coat.
"Take it off and try it!"
