"Gu Tuan, I'm sure that the one I just saw in the market was my sister-in-law. Ningning, I won't make a mistake!"
After finishing his business in the government compound, Xue Hongliang smacked his hands and felt that he had not recognized the wrong person.
Gu Ye walked forward with high spirits and without looking around. He didn't take it seriously. "Well, she came to buy groceries, that's normal!"
"Then Gu Tuan, please go back and ask my sister-in-law if there are any special products arriving today. Tell me so I can buy them." Xue Hongliang still felt that Jiang Yue must have gone to grab something good if he ran so fast.
Gu Ye asked: "What are you buying it for?"
Xue Hongliang explained with a grin, "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, I'm going to Xiaojuan's house, ordinary gifts are not grand enough, I want to buy something special that you can't get outside! Maybe my future father-in-law will be happy and agree to our marriage!"
Xiaojuan is Xue Hongliang's girlfriend. They have been dating for almost a year and have a good relationship. They are planning to get married at the end of this year, but Xiaojuan's father has not agreed yet, saying that Xue Hongliang is just a clerk and his rank is not high enough, so they need to continue to observe him.
Xue Hongliang felt miserable, as he was a 26-year-old deputy company commander, which was actually a normal rank. It was abnormal for someone like Gu Ye, who was 26 years old and at the regimental level!
But no one would envy Gu Ye, because Gu Ye earned his achievements at the cost of his life.
"Oh, then the gift must be grand!" Gu Ye nodded in agreement.
"Gu Tuan, what gift did you bring when you first went to your father-in-law's house? I'd like to have some reference. Or you can tell me what gift would be more appropriate." Xue Hongliang wanted to marry Xiaojuan as soon as possible.
To get married in a local area, you only need to get a letter of introduction and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but to get married in the military, you need to submit a report for political review. It can be approved in a month at the fastest, but if something happens, it may be delayed for half a year.
Xue Hongliang is not young anymore, and his family has been urging him to reconcile, but Xiaojuan's father just won't give in. He neither says he disagrees nor agrees, which makes him very anxious.
Xue Hongliang's question made Gu Ye silent. How could he know what kind of gift to bring when he went to his father-in-law's house for the first time? He had never been to Jiang Yue's house!
"Captain Gu?" Xue Hongliang walked out several steps before he realized that Gu Ye had stopped. He thought Gu Ye had seen someone, so he turned back and looked around.
But Gu Ye only stopped for a moment and continued walking forward.
"Tuan Gu, Tuan Gu!" Seeing that Gu Ye was walking faster and faster, Xue Hongliang could only jog behind him.
There was no way, his legs were not as long as Gu Ye's, and his military qualities were not as good as Gu Ye's.
Suddenly, Gu Ye stopped again. Xue Hongliang was already far behind. He thought Gu Ye was waiting for him, so he quickly quickened his pace and trotted over.
When Xue Hongliang got there, he was about to speak, but when he looked up, he saw Gu Ye staring outside the compound, so he turned his head to look over there. When he saw this, he immediately pointed in a certain direction excitedly, "Gu Tuan, look, I said it was my sister-in-law and Ningning!"
After saying that, Xue Hongliang waved over there and greeted loudly: "Sister-in-law, Ning——"
Before he could finish his greeting, Xue Hongliang was pulled aside by Gu Ye. His movements were so fast that an afterimage was left.
Jiang Yue and Ning Ning sold a dozen servings of French fries at the entrance of the railway community. After waiting for a while, and seeing that there were no more customers, they moved to another place and came to the entrance of the government compound.
This is a government workplace and there are not many children here, but Jiang Yue's target customers are not just children. In addition to the ketchup fries that children like to eat, she also has sweet potato fries, which are sweet and sour and delicious and are very popular among young women.
Just as Jiang Yue and Ning Ning arrived near the government compound, a young girl in a floral dress and a headband bought a portion of sweet and sour potato chips.
After eating a few, the girl found them delicious, so she turned around and bought one more, saying she would bring them to her colleagues to try.
Just as Jiang Yue collected the money and was about to leave with the backpack, she suddenly heard someone shouting "Xiao Sao Zining". She looked in the direction but didn't see anyone.
Jiang Yue thought about it and couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Sao Zining, what is this?"
Xue Hongliang spoke with an accent, and he didn't know that Jiang Yue heard the "sister-in-law" he called as "xiaosaozi". Jiang Yue also didn't expect that her secret little business had been discovered by Gu Ye. She was still very happy holding Ningning's hand and walking slowly along Wutong Road in front of the government compound as if they were walking on the street.
Walk another hundred meters and turn a corner, and you will reach the accommodation area of the government compound. Those who can afford to live here don’t lack the money to buy snacks.
There were less than ten servings of French fries left in Jiang Yue's backpack. She planned to sell them for another half an hour. Even if she couldn't sell them all, she had to go home.
Seeing Jiang Yue and Ning Ning walking away, Xue Hongliang asked Gu Ye in confusion: "Gu Tuan, how about I go after my sister-in-law now? She and Ning Ning can just go back with our car."
"No need! You go back first and don't have to wait for me!" Gu Ye didn't explain to Xue Hongliang and turned around and left.
Xue Hongliang saw that Gu Ye left in the direction of chasing Jiang Yue, and suddenly an idea came to him. It seems that the recent rumors about Gu Tuan and his young wife having a better relationship were not false. Gu Tuan was eager to chase after his young wife as soon as he saw her. He probably didn't want an outsider like him to follow him!
Hey! Gu Tuan hasn't told him what kind of gift he should bring to his father-in-law's house for the first time to make it grand!
Gu Ye did not catch up with Jiang Yue and Ning Ning directly. He just lagged far behind and quietly observed Jiang Yue.
Xue Hongliang didn't see it just now, but he saw clearly that Jiang Yue gave something to the girl in the skirt at the gate of the government compound, and the girl gave Jiang Yue money. It was obvious that they were doing a transaction.
