173 Safe
Happy times are always short, and after dinner we have to go back to Zhaozhuang.
This is the custom, and you have to go back on the day of visiting your parents-in-law.
After that it was more casual.
Gao Qinghe is no longer the child who was reluctant to leave home when he was little.
I thought to myself, I can come back whenever I want in the future. It only takes more than an hour to get from Zhaozhuang to Shanghe Village. I laughed heartily.
Gao Qingya was hesitant to speak at the dinner table just now. She wanted to mention the "good things" she and the four uncles and aunts of the Jiang family had done, make a small report, and by the way, show that she was trying hard to protect her sister.
But after the meal was over, there was no sign that the elder sister Gao Qinghe wanted to bring it up.
Gao Qingya could only hold it in for now and planned to wait until there were fewer people at home before talking about it.
Completely unaware of what was happening in Zhaozhuang, the Gao family thought the wedding was going smoothly.
Old Mrs. Tian held her granddaughter's hand in one hand and her grandson-in-law's hand in the other, put their hands together, and said with the tone of someone who had experienced it:
"After you get married, you will have your own little family. As long as you manage your little family well and the two of you have a harmonious relationship, we, as the elders, will be relieved."
Jiang Baohai was touched and was about to promise his grandmother that he would treat his wife well.
I heard my mother-in-law whisper to her daughter: "Bao'er, you can't be lazy and willful anymore. Be good to your mother-in-law, okay?"
It seemed like she was telling her daughter to be nice to her mother-in-law, but her expression made it look as if her baby was going to suffer in someone else's home.
Gao Chongyi secretly poked his wife's arm. The son-in-law was still here, what nonsense was he talking about.
Huang Ying also realized that her expression might be misunderstood, so she quickly gave Jiang Baohai a pure and innocent smile.
If he hadn't been sure that Gao Qinghe didn't mention a word about what happened in Zhaozhuang today, Jiang Baohai almost thought that his mother-in-law knew something and was scolding him.
I already felt guilty, and now I felt even more embarrassed, so I could only smile.
Gao Qinghe was secretly happy when he saw this and let go of his grandmother's warm hand.
"Okay, that's it. It'll be dark if we delay any longer."
He waved to his family members and winked at Jiang Baohai.
The young couple stepped back to the front of the car and got in and left under the gaze of everyone.
On the morning of Gao Qinghe's wedding, Gao Qingmiao didn't feel anything, because she would be back the next day anyway.
But this time, looking at the vehicles going away, the young man felt a sudden surge of bitterness in his heart.
It seemed as if I had just realized how much meaning was contained in those words that my elder sister said to me and my younger sister while holding my and my younger sister's hands, about siblings working together.
Now the eldest sister is getting married, and in the future he will get married and start his own family. Later, the younger sister will grow up and leave this home.
By then, only my parents and grandmother were left at home.
It turns out that separation after growing up is so melancholy.
"sister!"
Gao Qingmiao couldn't help but shout and chased after him.
Gao Qingya couldn't help but run up after him, shouting as she ran, "Big Sister!"
Jiang Baohai heard the sound, slowed down the car, and looked sideways at his wife with concern.
Gao Qinghe looked at the two people running in the sunset in the rearview mirror, his eyes slightly hot, but he still smiled and shook his head, signaling Jiang Baohai to continue driving forward.
She leaned out of the window and waved her hand in disgust, "Go back!"
It's like a life-and-death separation, so corny.
As their sister's most loyal servants, No. 1 and No. 2 obeyed the order almost instinctively and stopped immediately.
Watching the car disappear completely at the end of the bend, Gao Qingmiao and Gao Qingya looked at each other and burst into tears!
Old Mrs. Tian: “…” What a promising future!
The useless brother and sister cried even louder, wishing they could bring the whole village over to see how deep their love for their sister was.
Gao Chongyi and Huang Ying looked at each other and could only shake their heads helplessly, letting them go.
Young people have abundant qi and blood, so they cry loudly.
The slight sadness of separation was now washed away by the funny appearance of the brother and sister crying loudly.
......
The only red car in Zhaozhuang was approaching slowly in the twilight.
Jiang Yu, who had been standing at the door for a long time, quickly went inside to remind them, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are back!"
Jiang's mother, who was looking out the kitchen door, heard the words and her hair stood on end like a frightened cat. She didn't even dare to look at the street and immediately rushed into the kitchen.
She started to touch and look here and there, busying herself in a daze for a while. After a while, she gradually calmed down, poured the dishes that had been prepared long ago into the pot, and remembered that she came in to cook dinner.
It gets dark late in summer.
Although there was still some dusk in the sky when Gao Qinghe and his wife entered the yard, it was already almost eight o'clock in the evening.
"Haven't you had dinner at home yet?" Gao Qinghe asked Jiang Yu who came over with a smile.
The little girl, of course, hopes that her mother and sister-in-law will get along well, and she explains:
"Mom specially waited for you to come back so we could eat together. Sister-in-law, you like to eat small greens, so Mom specially went to the fields to pick some fresh ones. They are all grown by Mom in her free time, and they are cooked very well!"
Gao Qinghe smiled and nodded, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and returned to his room to change clothes.
Gao Qinghe packed up most of the clothes at home, except for the old ones.
The two days leading up to the wedding were tiring and busy, and the clothes were still in the dowry suitcase and I had no time to sort them out.
Gao Qinghe opened one of the boxes and randomly found a comfortable light blue cotton sleeveless dress to put on.
The second thing was to feel for the key under the mattress.
When Jiang Baohai left in the morning, he locked the door, so no one should have come in.
Sure enough, Gao Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the familiar cold and hard feeling of the metal key.
I opened the wardrobe and found that the suitcases and the belongings inside were intact.
Jiang Baohai's cough was heard outside the door as a reminder. Gao Qinghe quickly locked the wardrobe and went to remove the bolt on the door to let him in.
"What are you doing? Why are you locking the door?" Jiang Baohai asked curiously.
Gao Qinghe patted his clothes and put the key under the mattress without hiding it.
Jiang Baohai understood immediately and approached to jokingly ask, "Are you hiding your private money secretly?"
Come to think of it, he still doesn't know how much money she made from reselling government bonds last time.
However, since his wife didn't tell him, he didn't bother to ask. After all, it was only natural for a man to earn money and spend it on his woman.
What man would think about his wife’s secret money every day?
Gao Qinghe rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you do it secretly, do you expect to see where you put the key?"
"I don't think you have any place to put valuables in this room."
Jiang Baohai understood and said, "I'll have Fang Xiaoyu bring a safe tomorrow. You can tell me where to put it."
The room is quite big and can accommodate a safe.
There is no cover at all, it is exposed naked, so others can see it at a glance, right?
After thinking about it, Gao Qinghe realized that there was no space left for another concealing cabinet, so he opened his own large wardrobe and said, "Just put it in the closet. Nail it to the wall, it's secure."
Although he has a useless little system that can act as a security guard, its sensing range is limited.
Gao Qinghe couldn't rely on it at all when he was not at home!
