Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Lu Yao's Action
In addition to the military wives, some of Guo Yingshi's familiar friends also attended this simple ceremony.
We sat together, drank some tea, ate some peanuts, and chatted, and that was pretty much it.
"What happened to you just now?"
After sending everyone away, Guo Yingshi pulled Gu Miaoyun into the bedroom. "It seems like you have some issues with Captain Zhao's family. We're neighbors from now on. If there's anything, either speak up or let it go. Otherwise, it'll make everyone uncomfortable."
"Huh? Am I being too obvious?"
Gu Miaoyun held her cheeks, feeling a little distressed: "I'm just too good at hiding things. Any emotion is written all over my face."
Guo Yingshi has a broad face, while Gu Miaoyun's face is smooth and petite. In comparison, Guo Yingshi couldn't help but feel distressed for the girl who chose to marry him.
"It's okay, but it seems you don't like the girl from her family. Xiao Lu is a nice person, and Lao Zhao and I are also acquaintances. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, tell me and I'll go talk to them."
Gu Miaoyun hesitated for a moment, then her eyes turned red and she looked down at the soles of her feet in boots.
Under Guo Yingshi's gaze, Gu Miaoyun told him about how Lu Yao stepped on her foot when she first arrived that day.
After Guo Yingshi finished listening, Gu Miaoyun slowly took off her shoes, revealing her left foot which was missing the big toe.
"I'm sorry, Lao Guo. Although others can't see this disability, it has always been a scar in my heart, which is why I can't control my emotions. I'm still young. Once I have more experience and more patience, I won't be like this today."
Gu Miaoyun's voice was small and gentle when she spoke, like a lark.
Guo Yingshi was deaf in one ear, and he couldn't help but hold his breath when hearing Gu Miaoyun's voice, just to hear it more clearly.
"Sister-in-law Lu actually told me about this at the time. I thought I wouldn't mind, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help it when I saw that little girl. If this causes you trouble..."
"No."
Guo Yingshi quickly interrupted Gu Miaoyun, "Miaoyun, if Xiao Lu minds, I'll go and tell them. You don't have to feel guilty."
After Guo Yingshi finished speaking, his eyes swept over Gu Miaoyun's slightly mutilated left foot, revealing a look of heartache.
Over the years, the organization has helped introduce him to many people, but either Guo Yingshi felt that they were not suitable, or the other party felt uncomfortable with him. After meeting one or two, Guo Yingshi simply decided to stay single for the rest of his life.
But at this time, he actually met Gu Miaoyun.
This gentle woman is like a gift from God.
He felt sorry for Gu Miaoyun's crippled left foot, and at the same time he felt a little emotional. At first he didn't believe that a knowledgeable and beautiful young woman like Gu Miaoyun would choose him. It was not until he knew that Gu Miaoyun was disabled like himself that he believed that there was still a love for him in the world.
"I'm so much older than you, and you still agreed to marry me. I've already wronged you. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything at home or outside. I'll take care of everything."
Gu Miaoyun was even more moved after hearing this and couldn't help shedding two tears. The two of them then became affectionate again.
Just outside the Guo family’s door, a group of children gathered at the foot of the wall, squatting on the ground, not knowing what they were doing.
"Hey, what bad things are you guys planning to do?"
The children were startled. Lu Yao raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Zhao Zimo.
"You scared me to death, how come you walked without making any sound?"
Zhao Zimo glanced at Lu Yao, then looked at Lu Yang and other children next to him, and finally, locked his eyes on Zhao Zirui.
Zhao Zimo: "Tell me the truth, what are you planning to do?"
Zhao Zirui shuddered, and Lu Yao quickly stood in front of him. "Hmph, if you can't argue with me, just go find Zirui. Why are you picking on the weak?"
Zhao Zimo frowned.
He actually didn't care much about his adoptive father's three children.
Just like he doesn't care about his adoptive parents.
But why did he ask again?
Probably just curiosity.
Zhao Zimo folded his arms and looked down at Lu Yao.
Among these three brothers and sisters, he was only willing to talk to Lu Yao.
Zhao Zirui is a coward, and he hates cowards the most. Lu Yang always looks deep, and it's annoying to see a child pretending to be an adult all day long!
Only Lu Yao is like a normal child, but her mind is filled with too many wild and imaginative things, which makes her extremely childish.
If he wasn't curious, how could he have taken the initiative to talk to them?
Especially after listening to Lu Yao's words, Zhao Zimo suddenly understood what his classmate had said to him before he came that day. The children taken care of by their stepmothers were all old enough to be bitten by dogs and cats.
"Do I need to pick and choose the hard ones when I squeeze persimmons? You guys are not enough for me to squeeze. What on earth do you want to do? If you want to do something bad..."
"Who said that? It's a bad thing!" Zhao Zirui was the first to lose his temper and nervously defended himself.
Zhao Zimo glanced over, looked at it for a long time, and smiled, "So it really is a bad thing. Don't worry, I won't tell the adults."
Lu Yang frowned, "Why?"
The freckles on Zhao Zimo's cheeks made him smile more vividly. "Then why should I tell the adults? Do I know the adults very well?"
Not familiar at all.
Except for meal times when we sign in on time and say a few words, there is almost no communication at other times.
It was like this when there were only him and Zhao Zhanming at home. Now there are just a few more people.
For Zhao Zimo, there are many people at home, but they are not relatives.
His relatives had all died long ago.
"I won't disturb you, but I want to know what you are doing." Zhao Zimo looked like he was not going to leave until he explained clearly.
But after looking around, he finally looked at Lu Yao. Among these people, she was obviously the leader who took the lead.
Lu Yao was about to speak when Meng Bin beside her stopped her.
Meng Bin said calmly, "We're not actually doing anything bad. We're just a little curious, just like you. That day, Lu Yao stepped on the foot of the aunt inside, but ended up stepping on nothing..."
After the story was told, even Zhao Zimo became curious.
But he didn't want to show his weakness in front of these little brats, so he pretended to be indifferent, said something childish and left.
The remaining few children were left to continue the meeting.
Zhao Zirui: "I don't think climbing over the wall is a good idea. Let's just forget it, Sister Lu Yao."
Lu Yang watched from the side: "I don't agree with this either, but if that idiot Lu Yao insists on going to see it, then I can only help keep watch."
Meng Bin was older than them all, so he reasoned, "I'll listen to Lu Yao."
Lu Yang curled his lips, "You really don't have any opinions at all."
Lu Yao stood up, pinching her waist, her face full of excitement. "Okay, that's settled! Listen to me, tomorrow morning when the sun rises, we'll gather here! Then we'll break into the enemy camp together and get intelligence!"
Meng Bin cheered, Lu Yang nodded casually, and Zhao Zirui hesitated and became afraid.
"Sister Lu Yao, if Mom finds out about what we're doing, will she punish us? Isn't this really a bad thing? I think Aunt Gu is a pretty good person."
"Little friend, don't be fooled by the enemy's sugar-coated bullets!"
Zhao Zirui: "...Sister, you are lying. You are also a child."
"I'm a kid who's one year older than you."
"Sister, they are also children."
"Anyway, I'm older than you. It's up to you whether you're going to participate or not. If you're not, don't tell Mom, or I'll... I don't think I can do anything about it. Just promise not to tell."
"I...will participate!"
"Okay! Then the code name for our operation this time is—"
Lu Yao's little mind went blank in an instant.
Meng Bin thought carefully, then added in a rather servile manner, "Tell Lu Yao to take action!"
Lu Yang: "...What an unoriginal name."
Lu Yao cheered, "That's right, let Lu Yao take action!"
Time, place, tasks and goals are all set.
Several children put their hands together and clapped their hands, then went back home for the time being, waiting to meet again tomorrow!
-
"Why are you all so well behaved today? You all washed your faces and went to bed early without me having to urge you?"
In the evening, Lu Qinghe was sorting balls of yarn in the living room. She wanted to call a kid to help hold the yarn, but she couldn't find any. When she went into the house, she discovered that all the kids were lying down and ready to sleep.
But it’s only half past seven.
But the child is already asleep, so it’s not a good idea to wake him up.
Lu Qinghe thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Zimo who was playing table tennis alone in the yard.
The kid is only in junior high school, about the same height as her, with long arms and thin fingers. At first glance, he is a face-sitter.
"Zhao Zimo!"
The ping-pong ball in Zhao Zimo's hand fell to the ground with a 'plop' sound.
He frowned in frustration and annoyance, picked it up and looked over, but said nothing.
Their eyes met, and Lu Qinghe waved: "Come in."
Zhao Zimo: “…”
He reluctantly entered the living room, reluctantly stood at the door, and finally reluctantly spoke.
"What's up?"
"sit down."
Lu Qinghe didn't look at him, but patted the sofa in front of him: "Come and help me, hold the wool for me."
“…”
Zhao Zimo didn't move.
Why was there any need to call him? He thought it was something important, but this is what happened.
"Come here." Lu Qinghe called again, "Hurry up, your brothers and sisters are all asleep, so I have no choice but to call you."
Lu Qinghe didn't ask him whether he was willing or not.
Whether he likes it or not, he has to come and support me.
Zhao Zimo was reluctant, but still sat down.
Following Lu Qinghe's instructions, she spread the wool out on her palm and then slowly arranged it and wound it upwards.
"I've seen your final grades. You're quite unbalanced in certain subjects. If you continue like this, will you even be able to pass the high school entrance exam?" Since there was nothing else to say, Lu Qinghe picked up the topic that students were most reluctant to talk about.
It was Zhao Zimo's fault for looking so awkward just now, she wouldn't tolerate him.
As expected, Zhao Zimo's expression stiffened after hearing this.
"Test."
"You didn't study hard after the exam? If you don't understand anything next semester, come to me."
"You understand?"
"I'm studying too, okay? Don't underestimate me. You can try next semester. If you can beat me on the test, you'll be amazing."
Zhao Zimo remained silent.
He didn't know whether Lu Qinghe was powerful or not, but he knew that Lu Qinghe was a man who always did what he said.
"I...I don't really like studying."
After saying that, Zhao Zimo closed his mouth again and even lowered his head.
If you say something like that, you're just waiting to be scolded by adults. That way, you'll have an excuse to go outside and play table tennis.
But the next second, Lu Qinghe spoke in a very calm tone.
"Oh, how normal. I don't like it either."
“…”
"What?"
