Come in, sit down and drink tea.
Zhao Shilan looked at the pile of gifts on the ground, feeling happy and distressed: "Just come if you want, what else do you want to bring..."
There are so many of them, it’s almost like someone is proposing marriage.
It was more than what her daughter Tingting got when she went to visit Yang Huaidong for the first time. She didn't know whose family the child was from, but his conditions should be quite good.
Gu Chengfeng sat properly next to Shen Sisi, his strong waist straight, and he followed Shen Sisi in calling Zhao Shilan "Auntie". His attitude was polite and courteous, completely different from before.
"Aunt, this is a small gift. Thank you for taking care of Sisi over the years." Gu Chengfeng put away his edge and responded politely.
Chen Sisi sat down holding Niuniu, picked up the enamel cup thirstily, blew on the tea leaves on the surface and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Shilan had a very good impression of this young man. She looked at Shen Sisi and said in a reproachful tone, "Don't just drink tea, take care of Comrade Gu."
Shen Sisi almost choked, and then she heard her aunt's rapid-fire words in her ears: "Xiao Gu is a good child, he is polite and caring... Tell your aunt how you met."
...
...
How come my aunt knows him so well after just meeting him?
As for how we met...
Shen Sisi's face flushed red. She couldn't say that she was in danger when she went on a blind date, and Gu Chengfeng came down like a god to save her!
She lowered her head and didn't know how to start. Next to her, Gu Chengfeng smiled frankly: "I am Mr. Shen's student. I knew Sisi before."
It was just passed over in one sentence, and it seemed as if no explanation was given.
Then he changed the subject and cast a hidden look at Shen Sisi: “By the way, Niuniu is a little sleepy, you and aunt should go take care of the child first.”
Shen Sisi frowned, this was obviously an attempt to get them away.
Did he want to talk to his uncle alone?
She knew that her uncle was an unreasonable person and Gu Chengfeng also had a bad temper. If they didn't agree on a few words, they would probably start fighting.
When it comes to fighting, she never worries about Gu Chengfeng, she is just afraid that he will be punished if he hits someone.
"Is there anything that you can't say in front of me and my aunt?" Shen Sisi asked anxiously.
Gu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows mischievously, and regardless of the presence of Zhao Shilan and Chen Jianguo, he quickly leaned close to her ear and said, "Of course it's our marriage..."
The scalding breath was frighteningly hot, and Shen Sisi felt as if she was scalded.
She shrank her neck unnaturally, and after a while she moved closer to the man in front of her, and reminded him in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "You don't know my uncle very well. He's not easy to talk to. I'm afraid..."
Gu Chengfeng smiled: "Don't worry, I can deal with any tough enemy. Go and take care of Niuniu. I promise your uncle will happily send you out."
Shen Sisi felt that he was too optimistic. He had never seen the unreasonable and unreasonable behavior of his uncle.
She was about to speak again, but Zhao Shilan tactfully pulled Shen Sisi away.
"Sisi, come in with me, I have something to ask you."
With the door closed, Shen Sisi was temporarily isolated from the outside world.
There was anxiety in Shen Sisi's eyes, and her frown almost never relaxed.
"Mom, I'm sleepy..." Niu Niu yawned and moved uncomfortably in her arms, her eyelids almost unable to open.
She quickly bent down and put Niu Niu down. Her fingers methodically unbuttoned Niu Niu's cotton jacket, took off the little girl's coat and trousers, helped her urinate on the spittoon, and then stuffed her into the quilt, tucked in the corner of the quilt considerately.
Niu Niu went out with her on a blind date early in the morning and was now extremely sleepy, so she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
As soon as the little girl closed her eyes, Zhao Shilan pulled her to sit at the table.
"Sisi, tell me honestly, what does this comrade Gu's family do and what's going on with you guys?" Zhao Shilan was a discerning person and could tell at a glance that Gu Chengfeng treated Shen Sisi in a special way.
Shen Sisi took a deep breath and stared at Niuniu in a daze: "I don't know much about his family background. Since he was able to join the army and become a battalion commander, his family background is fine. As for the rest... Aunt, he and I just agreed to get married, and we each got what we needed."
"Agreement?" Zhao Shilan thought this word was really new.
"We just want to live together. I need his city hukou so that I can take Niuniu to the city for medical treatment. He just happens to need a wife, so it's a perfect match, right?" Shen Sisi said lightly.
Although Zhao Shilan has only had a few years of education and is not as smart as Sisi's mother, as a person who has experienced it, she knows everything clearly.
"Comrade Gu is a soldier, so he should be in good condition, not to mention his figure and appearance. The people chasing after him can line up for a mile. He can find a virgin even with his eyes closed. How is it possible..." She had no intention of hurting Shen Sisi, but some words just came out of her mouth.
Shen Sisi pursed her lips tightly, her expression deep and solemn.
If he wasn't injured, he would be a favored child of heaven, and of course it wouldn't be her turn to be obsessed with him.
But can I tell this to my aunt?
cannot!
Shen Sisi sighed helplessly: “Don’t ask, anyway, we have discussed it, and have reported it to the political commissar, and we are just waiting to go through the process.”
Zhao Shilan knew that she had always been a person with big ideas since she was young, but she didn't expect that she would be so ambitious and would settle her marriage so easily.
It seems that Niu Niu’s condition is not good.
She turned her head to look at the sickly little girl. Even in her sleep her brows were furrowed and her breathing was accompanied by the sound of phlegm in her lungs. She looked so miserable.
Look at Shen Sisi in front of me again. She was such a sunny and energetic child back then, the little princess who grew up in my arms.
Everything has changed in the past few years since I went to the countryside.
"Your poor aunt knows that I don't have much to give you. I secretly saved a hundred dollars and planned to buy you sheets and quilts when you get married. You can use this money sparingly. I can't give you any more."
Zhao Shilan had been severely exploited by Chen Jianguo over the years and had paid a lot of money for him. Shen Sisi knew it.
Seeing that she was about to get up and search her pockets, Shen Sisi quickly stopped her: "Okay, auntie, I understand your situation, as long as you are thoughtful, I don't want your money, I just want to get back the jade my mother left me..."
That piece of jade was the only thing that escaped the house search. It was also the memory her mother left for her and her dowry.
Hearing the word "Yu", Zhao Shilan's expression stiffened, and her eyes subconsciously dodged, avoiding Shen Sisi's sight.
"I have to go back to the old house to look for the jade. Don't worry, I will definitely find it for you!"
With auntie's words, Shen Sisi felt relieved: "It's okay, don't worry."
The two chatted for a while, then there was a sudden noise outside, like the sound of a teacup knocking over.
Shen Sisi had a bad feeling in her heart and quickly got up and opened the door.
In the living room, Chen Jianguo stood up excitedly, overturned the teacup, and laughed with his teeth showing.
This grinning face was a 180-degree turn from his previous attitude, which surprised Shen Sisi.
He grabbed Gu Chengfeng's hand and shook it again and again: "Comrade Gu, I will be waiting for your good news now."
Shen Sisi opened her mouth slightly in surprise. What good news? What did they talk about?
Gu Chengfeng raised his eyes and smiled meaningfully, hiding a murderous aura that was hard to detect: "Don't worry, I, Gu Chengfeng, will keep my word. But uncle, it's time to prepare Sisi's dowry."
"No problem. If you can really do it, I promise that Sisi's dowry will be no less than Tingting's."
Shen Sisi's hesitant face was stunned for a moment, and then changed color suddenly.
dowry?
Did her uncle "sell her"?
Just as she was about to interrupt, Gu Chengfeng gave her a disconfirming look and shook his head implicitly, signaling her not to be impulsive.
