With a feeling of half anxiety and half anticipation, Sheng Zexi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was at Gu's house. That was one of the few happy times for him since his mother passed away.
When I woke up, it was already daybreak.
I looked at the time. It was half past six.
Sheng Zexi got up, washed, and put on his military uniform. In the past, he would leave his buttons loose when he went out, but now he buttoned them up tightly, looking less casual and more serious. He picked up the gifts and got in the car.
The car started, stirring up a cloud of dust, and drove towards Huaihua Village.

"Ningning, get up and have breakfast."
Gu Jianing was awakened by her sister-in-law.
"I'm here." Gu Jianing opened the door and saw her sister-in-law.
"Ningning, your brother has had breakfast and gone to work at the steel factory." Yang Manman said while looking at Gu Jianing.
Gu Jianing knew that her sister-in-law was testing her, so she smiled and said, "That's good. This job information was originally obtained by my brother after he saved the factory director's kidnapped grandson. He also passed the job exam himself, so this job should belong to him."
Hearing what her sister-in-law said, Yang Manman breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday, after her sister-in-law jumped into the river, she woke up and said that she didn't want her husband's job anymore. The contrast was so great that Yang Manman was a little confused, but this was a good thing.
In the morning, her husband, who was still hesitating whether to go to work, was rushed to work by her. She came to wake up her sister-in-law and confirm it again.
To be honest, she was quite afraid that her sister-in-law would regret it after waking up. If she did, she would definitely have to give up this job. Who would have thought that her man was a soft-hearted man who doted on his sisters?
Gu Jianing took a quick look and found that except for his eldest brother who went to work at the steel factory, everyone else was at home.
Her father, known as Old Man Gu, was the village chief of Huaihua Brigade. Her mother, Yao Chunhua, was in charge of the village pig shed. Her eldest sister-in-law, Yang Manman, was a Chinese teacher at the village primary school. She was from the Guangming Brigade next door and married her eldest brother, Gu Yunting, after falling in love.
My second elder brother, Gu Yunnan, is tall and strong, and is good at farm work. Last year, he was introduced to Su Miao from Lihua Brigade and married her. At the end of last month, my second sister-in-law, Su Miao, gave birth to a boy, and is now in confinement after the baby is born.
The third brother Gu Yunzhou became the village accountant after graduating from high school. He was good at calculating and was quick and good at it.
"Come, Ningning, drink a bowl of fish soup first to replenish your body. This is what the third brother found in the river this morning. You are not feeling unwell, right?" As Gu Jianing sat down, her mother placed a full bowl of fish soup in front of her.
Gu Jianing shook her head, and in response to her mother's concern, she said, "I'm fine now. By the way, does my second sister-in-law have this fish soup?"
She did not forget that her second sister-in-law was in confinement after giving birth, and the hen prepared for her was killed yesterday. She drank the chicken soup.
"Yes, Ningning, I just brought it to your sister-in-law. She also drank the chicken soup yesterday." The second brother Gu Yunnan said hurriedly, muttering to himself that his younger sister seemed to have become a lot more sensible after waking up from jumping into the river.
Of course, the Gu family also knew that Gu Jianing had been a little spoiled and pretentious in the past, but in their opinion, it was not normal for a little girl who was spoiled by their whole family to be a little willful occasionally.
Gu Jianing drank the fish soup with peace of mind. This time, she was able to recover so quickly, thanks to the care of her family, as well as the painkillers and sweet wine boiled eggs sent by Sheng Zexi.
In her previous life, after jumping into the river, she first had a high fever, and then had to receive an IV drip. It took her three days to get better, but it also left her with infertility.
"Ningning, are you sure you want to meet Zexi?" Yao Chunhua took the time to ask this during breakfast.
After asking this question, everyone in the Gu family looked over.
Gu Jianing knew that this matter had to be explained clearly, so she looked up and said to the old Gu family, "Mom, after jumping into the river this time, I suddenly realized that I don't seem to like Wen Zhiqing that much anymore, and I think it's too bad for me to marry him. He doesn't have a job, can't work in the fields, and I don't know when he can return to the city. If I marry him now, I and my whole family will have to support him. It's not worth it."
"After he heard about my eldest brother's job this time, he kept complaining to me that working in the fields was too hard. He said he envied my eldest brother for having a job, so he pushed me to get a job." Gu Jianing bit her lip slightly. Her voice was soft and aggrieved. She lowered her head like a wilted delicate flower.
When Yao Chunhua heard this, she gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger, "I knew he was a bad guy."
"Yes, little sister, you can't marry a man like that, otherwise you will be sold and still help him count money." The second brother Gu Yunnan also agreed.
Gu Yunzhou secretly clenched his fists. The beating he received from that pretty boy yesterday was considered a light punishment.
"Yes, I know. That's why I don't like him anymore. I think it's better for me to marry a ready-made military officer. Besides, Brother Sheng has lived in our house before. You, Dad and Mom, know his character best."
In fact, the reason why Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi knew each other was because Gu Jianing picked up Sheng Zexi, who was injured and unconscious in the mountains, and brought her home. Of course, she didn't have the strength to do that, so she asked her second brother to carry her back.
The reason why he took it back was because he was wearing a military uniform and thought it would be profitable.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Zexi woke up later. Because of the mission needs, he stayed in her house for a while, recuperated his injuries, and pretended to be her distant cousin.
Gu Jianing somewhat regretted taking him back, because Sheng Zexi was unruly and sharp-tongued, and Gu Jianing would be made to cry by him from time to time, and she was somewhat afraid of him.
Gu Jianing once thought that Sheng Zexi hated her. After all, when she plucked up the courage to seduce him several times, he remained indifferent and even ran away and scolded her.
Even though she knew Sheng Zexi liked her after her previous life, she still felt it was unreal.
However, Sheng Zexi's arrival yesterday and his concern made things feel more real.
The old Gu family was shocked at Gu Jianing's sudden realization, but they felt that it was normal for a person to have a big change of mind between life and death.
After breakfast, Gu Jianing went into the room and started to dress herself up. Not only was today a wedding occasion, she had to look beautiful at all times.
It was winter and the weather was cold. Most people wore cotton jackets, which was what Gu Jianing usually wore. But she thought it looked a bit tacky. After thinking about it, she took out a camel wool coat that she had saved up money to buy before and put on a pair of small leather shoes.
The long woolen coat made her look tall and elegant. She had her hair braided into a fluffy side braid.
Gu Jianing did wear any cosmetics. Her face looked a little pale, so she put on blush and lipstick.
While admiring the small mirror, Gu Jianing heard the sound of a car outside and then a commotion.
Realizing something, Gu Jianing's heart began to beat fast and he felt a little nervous.
