Chapter 29: Overcoming That Hurdle

Jiang Mingyue returned to the room, took out a small bamboo box from the closet, opened the box with the key, and saw the money neatly stacked inside.

All this was earned from selling food in town during this period.

Excluding the original investment, I earned more than 600 yuan in half a month.

The day before yesterday I bought a tricycle, changed its tires, and bought some other miscellaneous items, spending a total of 120 yuan.

There are still five hundred left.

She took out two hundred yuan and prepared to give it to Gu Dongqing later as a reward for his helping to harvest rice for a few days.

In the kitchen.

Gu Dongqing finished his noodles quickly.

He burped with contentment and finally felt alive.

Of course, just surviving is not enough, there is still a tough battle to fight.

Gu Dongqing stood up and took the bowl to the well outside to wash it. He rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, then took two handfuls of water and rubbed his face, trying to calm himself down.

Jiang Mingyue came out with the money and saw Gu Dongqing tinkering with her tricycle again. She went up to him and said, "Comrade Gu, I have something to give you."

"Um?"

Gu Dongqing raised his head, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but when he met Jiang Mingyue's calm expression, the joy disappeared from his eyes.

"You're going to give me money? How much?"

The man turned around, tightened the screws of the tricycle, and asked in a calm tone.

Jiang Mingyue didn't expect that he could actually guess it.

"Comrade Gu, you have helped our family a lot. I don't know how much money is appropriate to give you."

"Oh"

Gu Dongqing put down what he was holding and stood up, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "I heard that you have been doing business in the town for the past half month."

"Yes, I sell some food on Wuyi Road."

"Jiang Mingyue." Gu Dongqing's tone suddenly became serious. He was so serious when calling her name.

"What?" Jiang Mingyue was stunned and looked up at the man in front of her in surprise.

That innocent look made Gu Dongqing angry and amused.

Thinking of the torture he had endured for more than half a month, he pursed his lips and said softly, "You are amazing. Whether it is your family or your business, you can take good care of it."

"ah?"

Are you here specifically to compliment her?

Jiang Mingyue blinked in confusion, waiting for Gu Dongqing's next words.

Gu Dongqing smiled, "Jiang Mingyue, you will not be a burden to anyone."

"Neither will the baby in your belly."

After saying this, Gu Dongqing bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and held Jiang Mingyue's shoulder, and said sincerely, "So Jiang Mingyue, can you be kind?"

Be kind and agree to date him.

"You will not be a burden to me, nor will the children. You will only help me and give me the home I have always wanted."

Gu Dongqing's voice rang in my ears.

Jiang Mingyue was stunned, looking up at the man who was so close to her.

"you"

Why hasn't he given up yet?

She wanted to refuse again, but when she saw the red bloodshot in the man's eyes and his face that was obviously thinner, she couldn't say the words that were on her lips.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground.

After Gu Dongqing finished speaking, he waited for Jiang Mingyue's reaction. He had made up his mind when he came here that no matter how she refused, he would not give up.

But her current reaction was something that Gu Dongqing had not expected.

He also looked down at her, his eyes somewhat urgent. "Comrade Jiang Mingyue"

"Then don't complain when you suffer in the future." Jiang Mingyue raised her head with a sincere look.

Gu Dongqing didn't react for a moment.

It’s not that he was slow, but Jiang Mingyue’s answer was unexpected.

"What's wrong?"

It was rare for Jiang Mingyue to see Gu Dongqing looking silly, and seeing him now, she found it really fresh.

It was really novel to see a bearded man with a childlike look of surprise.

Jiang Mingyue smiled first.

The beautiful eyes are filled with broken stars, and the corners of the slightly raised lips have faint vortices.

Gu Dongqing's heartbeat slowed down.

It took him a while to react.

He excitedly hugged the person in his arms and said, "No, absolutely not! I'm telling you..."

"Don't swear."

She was willing to believe him without any swearing.

The man who had lived for 28 years finally felt what it was like to be with someone. He wanted to announce to the world that he had found a partner.

"bright"

"Second sister!"

The sudden interruption of the voice interrupted Gu Dongqing's words and at the same time widened the distance between Jiang Mingyue and him.

Jiang Mingyue stepped back with a slightly red face, and just as she stood up, Jiang Manyue ran in from outside.

The food at home has been good in the past half month. Jiang Manyue has also gained some weight and her cheeks are not so thin anymore.

Seeing the changed Gu Dongqing in the yard, Jiang Manyue didn't dare to recognize him.

However, the old lady who came in a little later recognized it at a glance.

"Xiao Gu is here."

"grandmother."

Gu Dongqing greeted politely.

The old woman’s eyesight wasn’t very good, but she still had a good eye for people and could tell at a glance that something was wrong between her granddaughter and Gu Dongqing.

She coughed and said, "Xiao Gu, please stay and have dinner. Manyue will go and call your grandfather back."

The old lady said this and went to the backyard to catch chickens.

Jiang Mingyue didn't stop it either.

"Do you want to take a rest?" she asked Gu Dongqing.

Gu Dongqing shook his head, "I'll go help grandma."

"Then go wash up first. I'll ask grandma to find clean clothes for you to change into and shave."

Since Jiang Mingyue accepted him as her partner, she would naturally care for him like a family member.

Gu Dongqing felt warm in his heart.

Fortunately, he didn't give up.

"This is for you."

Before going to wash up, he took out a small box from his pocket and put it in Jiang Mingyue's hand. When she opened it, she found that it was a gold necklace.

This thing is too valuable, Jiang Mingyue cannot accept it.

"Gu..." As soon as she said one word, she was stopped by the other party, "I am your partner, don't reject me."

More than half a month ago, when he was rejected for the second time, Gu Dongqing was also tough and felt that it was okay to let go.

He returned to the town and went to the county seat early the next morning to transport goods.

This trip lasted half a month.

Originally, Gu Dongqing thought that half a month should be enough time for his feelings to fade.

But he never thought that as time went by, not only did he not forget Jiang Mingyue, but the impression of her in his mind became clearer and clearer.

On the way back a few days ago, I chatted with a brother who was shipping goods with me. He said something that was very right: if you can't let it go, then keep working hard.

Until the other party accepts you.

Moreover, Jiang Mingyue rejected him because she was pregnant, not because she hated him, which means he actually had a great chance.

As long as Jiang Mingyue can get over the hurdle in her heart, it will be enough.

Now it is proven that she has overcome that hurdle.

Jiang Mingyue also took the chain.

Gu Dongqing simply took a shower and changed into his old man's clothes.

The coarse cloth clothes were very loose when worn by grandpa, but when put on Gu Dongqing, they seemed a little tight.

Part of the wrists and ankles were exposed.

It looks a little funny.

He himself didn't care. After cleaning up, he started to help with the work. He was very diligent.

Moreover, his diligence is not fake, but he really has something to do.
