A low laugh came from overhead.
Song Yiyi came back to her senses.
Cen Yue had already stepped away. He raised the ointment box in his hand and slowly pursed his thin lips, "Thank you, sister."
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Gu Chengze came back with a washed lunch box and said, "What are you thanking me for?"
Song Yiyi hurriedly grabbed the lunch box and stuffed it into her net bag, saying casually, "Nothing, brother, I'm going home."
As soon as she left, Gu Cheng looked at Cen Yue.
Cen Yue raised the corner of his lips meaningfully, "My sister said that since I helped her, she wants to help me apply the medicine."
The smile on Gu Chengze's face froze for a moment.
Cen Yue said in a contemptuous tone, "I refused."
......
The information about the family compound is still stuck on Cen Bowen writing an apology letter.
Song Yiyi spent two days relaxing at home. Knowing that she was alone, the sisters-in-law and aunties in the courtyard would come to her from time to time.
They would sit in the small courtyard, enjoying the cool air and chatting.
Most of these sisters-in-law and aunts have work to do, either making shoe soles or sewing clothes.
Song Yiyi usually has a handful of melon seeds.
When I get tired of eating melon seeds, I will occasionally switch to pickled plums.
The topics they often talked about basically revolved around the military families' courtyard, and of course, the matters of Cen Bowen and Kang Ying were also within the scope of discussion.
"Yiyi, I heard that the Kang family only made trouble for one day before returning. Was it because of pressure from the military?"
Song Yiyi bit into a pickled plum and said, "I don't know, it seems not."
"Why, it must be!"
"Yes, otherwise, how could the Kang family not seize such a good opportunity?"
"I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Cen refused to show up, and the Kang family couldn't find him even when they came."
"How can we not find it? Where can soldiers go if they are not in the military area?"
"You don't understand this, right? Of course someone is helping him."
Everyone looked as if they had realized what was happening, and finally expressed sympathy for Song Yiyi. Without the other person's strong background, she could only suffer in silence.
Later, the courtyard suddenly became quiet again.
During this period, Gu Cheng came back once.
He bought an electric fan for Song Yiyi, cooked a meal, and reminded her to eat less cold food when it was hot.
Song Yiyi agreed in person.
The troops were busy, so Gu Chengze didn't stay overnight and went back directly.
No one came to the door for several days.
Song Yiyi didn't notice it at first, thinking that the weather was getting hotter and everyone was feeling hot.
Until she went out to buy popsicles and met a few sisters-in-law with whom she often chatted.
Song Yiyi was just about to say hello when a few people saw her, looked at her strangely, and quickly left.
Only then did she realize something was wrong.
So after she finished buying the popsicles and was eating them while walking back, when she ran into someone she knew, she grabbed that person and asked, "Aunt Wang, are you avoiding me?"
Aunt Wang's eyes were evasive, and she hesitated for a long time before she slapped her thigh, looking as if she was going to give it a go.
She pulled Song Yiyi to a deserted corner and whispered, "Yiyi, you..."
Aunt Wang hesitated to speak.
Song Yiyi simply said, "Aunt Wang, just say whatever you want to say. I didn't do anything. No matter what it is, someone must be slandering me!"
She said it confidently, "Even if you don't tell me, it will reach my ears sooner or later. If I find out, I won't let anyone who says something bad about me go."
Aunt Wang sighed deeply, then took her hand and said earnestly, "Yiyi, do you like your brother?"
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't stand.
Song Yiyi was stunned for a second, then quickly reacted: "Bullshit! Who spread the rumor? Who is it? If I know, I'll tear her mouth apart!"
The original owner liked Gu Chengze.
But she doesn't like it!
In this day and age, if this kind of thing gets out, not only will she not be able to live in the compound, but Gu Chengze's work will also be affected.
Song Yiyi quickly thought of something, stood up and left.
Aunt Wang ran after her and shouted, "Yiyi, don't tell me what I said. Hey, what's going on?"
My sister likes her brother, so she stayed in the military family compound and refused to leave.
The brother often comes back to see his sister.
The two of them closed the door. Who knows what happened at home?
Some people also say that it is no wonder that Gu Chengze is already 30 years old and still has no partner and has never married.
It turns out there is someone at home!
Although they are not biological siblings, they are step-siblings.
Now we live in a new society. Child brides are no longer popular and this kind of thinking is unacceptable.
By the time Song Yiyi found out, the rumor had already spread throughout the staff quarters.
As she walked along, people looked at her with strange eyes, and some even whispered to each other when they saw her.
Song Yiyi originally wanted to call Gu Chengze's office.
After thinking about it, I decided to talk it out in person and went back to the army.
She can now enter and leave the army without any hindrance.
It was already afternoon when Song Yiyi went out. It was getting dark. As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Chengze walking out.
"elder brother."
Gu Chengze nodded and said, "Let's go out with me."
He borrowed a 28-inch bicycle from somewhere and rode with Song Yiyi towards the suburbs.
Song Yiyi pulled the car seat and asked, "Where are we going?"
Gu Cheng pedaled his bicycle easily, "Eat."
Song Yiyi: “…”
The first time she saw Gu Chengze, she knew that he knew too.
But he was too calm.
Song Yiyi scratched under the seat with one hand, thinking about what might happen next.
Although Gu Chengze is not someone like Cen Bowen who only cares about his own future.
But after something like this happened, she probably can't stay in the family compound anymore.
Maybe Gu Chengze will send her back to the countryside.
While she was lost in thought, Gu Cheng stopped the car and said, "We're here, get out."
Song Yiyi looked at the single-family house in front of her, her face full of questions.
"It's right here, go knock on the door."
Before he left, he touched Song Yiyi's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
Song Yiyi's heart instantly returned to its original place.
The person who came to open the door was a young man who was less than 30 years old. He walked very slowly with a limp.
Seeing Gu Chengze, the young man grinned.
Gu Chengze walked back, pushed his bicycle, and called Song Yiyi in.
The two sat down at a low square table, and the young man quickly brought over two glasses of water.
Song Yiyi raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "Thank you."
The young man grinned again and went out.
Gu Chengze looked at the young man's back as he left and said, "He can't hear."
Song Yiyi looked at Gu Chengze and heard him say, "When I was a company commander, he was a soldier under my command. He was deafened in one ear by an explosion during a mission. He was an orphan and could do nothing but be a soldier. After he was injured and discharged, he learned carpentry."
Song Yiyi nodded, "No wonder there are so many trees outside."
"He makes coffins."
Gu Chengze spoke softly.
Song Yiyi almost spit out a mouthful of water.
In fact, she was not afraid of these things, mainly because it was dark and the lights in the house were still flickering.
Gu Chengze kept staring at Song Yiyi, and his tone was as gentle as ever when he spoke.
"Yiyi, you heard the rumors in the compound, right?"
