Chapter 86 Kissing His Wife in the Street
After drinking the sugar water and having the doctor confirm with her again that Lin Shanshan was alright, Gu Yiye carefully helped Lin Shanshan out of the clinic.
Lin Shanshan chuckled: "I'm not Empress Dowager Cixi, and you're not Li Lianying. Don't walk like that, it makes me want to laugh."
Gu Yiye bent down and held Lin Shanshan's hand, afraid that she would fall. He didn't get angry even if his little wife teased him.
Gu Yiye changed his posture, stood up straight, wrapped his strong arm around Lin Shanshan's fragrant shoulder, and said softly, "Wife, I'm holding you, lean back a little and put your weight on my arm."
She spoke so softly, as if afraid of startling the baby inside her!
Lin Shanshan laughed and said, "Don't be so cautious. I saw Zhou Zhaodi carrying water even though she's heavily pregnant."
Gu Yiye disagreed, saying, "She's used to doing it. You're already delicate, and you're only 18. You're still a baby yourself. How could I bear to do that, honey? I'm happy, worried, and heartbroken at the same time."
Lin Shanshan was so embarrassed by Gu Yiye's words, "You're still a baby yourself," that a blush spread across her fair face, as radiant as a peach blossom.
Gu Yiye couldn't resist and kissed Lin Shanshan's pretty face on the street.
The pedestrians on the street were all startled by him, and a few nosy people started to speak up.
"The world is going to the dogs, even in broad daylight."
"Yes, look at that girl, she's dressed like a capitalist's daughter, she's obviously not a working-class person."
"That's right. How could a girl from a poor peasant family be all lovey-dovey with a man in the street? That's the behavior of a capitalist's daughter."
Lin Shanshan was wearing the latest clothes that her mother had sent from Shanghai. In the 1970s, when people generally wore black, gray, and military green, Lin Shanshan shone like a star in the sky.
Upon hearing these vulgar words, Gu Yiye's gentle smile vanished, and he angrily retorted, "It's none of your business if I'm kissing my own little wife, you looking for a beating?"
Gu Yiye, standing at 1.88 meters tall, was exceptionally tall in an era where malnutrition stunted growth, making him stand out from the crowd. In addition, his serious demeanor made him appear fierce and menacing.
Gu Yiye clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, looking like he was about to hit someone!
These men were so frightened they didn't dare breathe, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, young lady, it's my fault for meddling."
"Please don't hold a grudge against me."
"Yes, yes, you and your wife are a perfect match, a loving couple. I wish you both a long and happy marriage."
Whether it was the phrase "a perfect match" or the image of a loving couple that pleased Gu Yiye, he stopped arguing and said, "Get lost!"
Those people felt as if they had been granted a pardon and fled in panic!
Lin Shanshan said, "Okay, don't be angry. Brother Gu, I want to call my parents and tell them I'm pregnant."
Gu Yiye: "Of course, we'll go to the commune to make a call right away."
The commune was right next to the health center, just a few steps away.
I asked the operator to turn on the phone, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, the call was connected.
This time, it was Lin's mother, Li Qunying, who answered: "Darling, do you miss your mother?!"
"Yes, I do! Mom, I'm pregnant!" Lin Shanshan excitedly announced the good news.
Li Qunying said, "Darling, how long has it been? Are you having trouble adjusting? You're still a child yourself, and you're in the countryside. Mom is so worried about you."
"Pfft, Mom, you're just like Gu Yiye. I'm fine, perfectly fine. Don't worry, Brother Gu is taking good care of me, I won't feel uncomfortable."
"By the way, Mom, my older brother said he'd send us photos? Why haven't we received them yet?"
[A short skit with all sugar and no ice]
[Gu Yiye: In front of my wife, I'm just Little Gu! My wife is my Empress!]
