Chapter 1054: Engaged Couple
Gao Zheng ate two bowls of rice with a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Old Master Gao looked at his good-for-nothing son and wanted to beat him.
Brat, do you have to be so eager to survive?
Tang Jingyue also had mixed feelings.
The old lady said Gao Zheng didn't like fried tomatoes, but today he ate a plate of them.
Is it because she cooked this?
Wouldn't that be a bit too indulgent?
She really doesn't need him to do this!
Since he didn't like it, he could just tell her directly and she would learn to cook other dishes.
She once read a story about a loving old couple who lived together for decades. The grandfather ate fish heads all his life, and the grandmother ate fish tails all her life.
The fact is, the old man doesn’t like eating fish heads, he just thinks that the old lady always gives him the fish heads.
The old lady also didn't like eating fish tails, so in order to give her favorite fish head to the old man, she lied and said that she liked fish tails.
When she read this story, she was not moved at all, but she just couldn't understand: is there anything that cannot be honest between husband and wife?
If everyone makes their preferences clear at the beginning, wouldn't everyone be able to live more comfortably?
The family had just finished dinner when Gao Lan dragged her tired body back home.
She saw Tang Jingyue there, and with a cold and serious face, she forced a smile and greeted her.
"Sister, have you eaten?"
Gao Zheng asked.
"I ate in the hospital cafeteria."
Gao Lan walked up to Tang Jingyue and explained to her, "Jingyue, are you all ready?
I have been too busy recently and have not asked about your affairs. "
Tang Jingyue smiled and said, "Sister, it's okay. We are all ready."
She looked at Gao Zheng's tired face and said with concern, "Sister, take care to rest and don't be too tired."
"When you get engaged, I'll take a break. I've been busy lately."
Tang Jingyue and Gao Lan chatted for a while. Both of them had cold and serious personalities, so they had basically no topics to talk about.
Neither is good at small talk.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Zheng said, "I'll take Jingyue back first."
"Yi, Jingyue should go back to her house and have a rest as soon as possible."
After the two of them got in the car, Tang Jingyue took out a phone from her bag and gave it to Gao Zheng, "This is your mobile phone. The number is ready."
Gao Zheng took it and looked at it in his hand, "Can I call directly?"
Tang Jingyue nodded, "Okay."
She taught him how to dial her own phone number. Soon her cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and answered it.
Gao Zheng held the mobile phone and pressed it to his ear twice, and Tang Jingyue's cell phone could clearly hear his voice.
Tang Jingyue hung up the phone.
"A minute costs several cents, don't waste it."
After they tried the phone, Gao Zheng put the cell phone into the pocket of his cotton coat.
“Is my cooking delicious?”
Tang Jingyue looked at him and suddenly spoke.
Gao Zheng met her gaze and nodded seriously, "Yes."
"You really didn't like tomatoes before?"
She asked again.
Gao Zheng replied disapprovingly, "No, I'm not picky about food."
His answer made Tang Jingyue's face even more tense. She looked at Gao Zheng and said seriously, "Tell me if you don't like something in the future. I don't want you to put yourself in a difficult position just to please me."
Gao Zheng looked at her serious face and felt that her words were familiar.
He had just told her this in the big yard, and she went back without saying anything.
Gao Zheng thought that she would be touched and happy if he finished eating the not-so-tasty food she cooked.
I didn't expect her to react like this.
He touched her head and said, "I know."
Tang Jingyue had a lot of questions today, "Do you want your family to pay for the wedding banquet?"
Gao Zheng, "..." He touched his pocket which was cleaner than his face and was speechless for a moment.
Tang Jingyue took out the passbook Gao Zheng had given her from her bag and put it in his hand. "Take this passbook first. You'll need money for the engagement and marriage."
"You keep it."
Gao Zheng gave away the things he had given to others and was determined not to take them back.
"I understand your feelings. You want to give me a sense of security, and I have already got it. There is no need to prove it again.
You can use the money to prepare the wedding banquet and we can talk about it after the wedding. Don’t let the old man pay for it now.”
She was deeply touched that Gao Zheng gave her the savings book of his salary over the years.
However, she also knew that this was all of Gao Zheng's assets. Right now, there were so many places where money needed to be spent, and she couldn't make things difficult for him.
A penny can make a hero fall.
Tang Jingyue insisted, and Gao Zheng finally took the passbook, "Okay, I'll take it first."
After he put the passbook away, a smile appeared on Tang Jingyue's lips.
"There's still a day."
Gao Zheng looked at her and said solemnly, "In one day, we will be an engaged couple."
Hearing his words, Tang Jingyue's heart suddenly felt a little bit of palpitations.
An engaged couple!
What a beautiful relationship.
The two looked at each other lovingly, and Gao Zheng spoke softly, "I have been inconsiderate in some places, please be more tolerant."
Tang Jingyue responded softly, "You too."
………
When Gao Zheng came back after sending Tang Jingyue back, Gao Lan and his parents were still sitting on the sofa. The atmosphere in the living room was very solemn.
As soon as the daughter-in-law left, the cheerful atmosphere dissipated, and the whole family entered another atmosphere, but deep in their hearts, they still had concerns.
Gao Zheng didn't want to know why they looked like that.
He didn't say anything, just walked over with his long legs and sat down.
Old Master Gao looked solemn. He looked at Gao Zheng and said directly, "Xiao Zheng, is there any news about Xiao Bin recently?"
When Ye Bin's name was mentioned, Gao Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange look. He said, "Dad, I only heard that he was working in the south. I don't know the details yet. I haven't contacted him yet."
"It's been so long, why haven't we contacted each other yet?
What kind of work does he do?"
Mr. Gao sounded unhappy.
Gao Zheng said that he had found out Ye Bin's whereabouts not long ago, but now such a long time has passed and he still hasn't contacted him.
Especially now that Gao Zheng's engagement ceremony is approaching and the New Year is almost over, there is one person missing in the family, and they are always worried.
Gao Lan looked serious and also looked at Gao Zheng, with a hint of hope in her eyes.
I hope to hear good news from my younger brother.
Gao Zheng hesitated for a moment and replied awkwardly, "It seems to be a security guard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Gao frowned and said in a tone that could not hide his anger, "Security?
A platoon leader in the army is working as a security guard for others?"
"What platoon leader?
Isn't that forced job transfer?
The child did nothing wrong, why should he be held responsible for such a big incident?
What kind of policy is this..."
Old Mrs. Gao speaks without thinking when she is anxious. As soon as she said this, Old Mr. Gao glanced at her sharply, and the old lady fell silent reluctantly.
Gao Zheng comforted them, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Xiaobin will be fine, he is safe outside, I will continue to ask people to ask for him to call home."
