Shen Sisi retracted her steps and faced the strange gazes of the crowd: “Me? Are you sure?”
"You are Comrade Shen!" The driver wiped his sweat and said, "No mistake, it says on the list that Comrade Shen Sisi needs to sign for it."
She snatched the letter paper from his hand, which was a full list of goods.
Afraid that the person the driver asked would not know Shen Sisi, Gu Chengfeng wrote Chen Jianguo's name first.
But the person who signs for it must be Shen Sisi.
The sudden reversal caught everyone off guard and left them speechless.
Especially Chen Jianguo, his face was almost dropped to the ground.
The more flattering these people had been just now, the more embarrassed he felt now.
Chen Sisi stared at the receipt, her mind buzzing. This is... the betrothal gift from Gu Chengfeng. Where are the others?
...
...
She ignored the truckload of stuff and grabbed the driver and asked, "Brother, where is the person who asked you to deliver the goods?"
The eldest brother was also scratching his head: "He called our leader and asked me to prepare the goods and send them over overnight, but I didn't see him."
Chen Jianguo rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I didn't even show up, and you want to send me away just to take something? No way! It seems that Gu doesn't treat you well either..."
Just as Shen Sisi was about to speak, the driver couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted, "Comrade, don't speak too soon. Take a look at the things behind first!"
He waved his hand, and two young men jumped out from the back seat of the car, holding ropes and shoulder poles in their hands, and started moving things out.
The latest model of Yan brand sewing machine, Forever brand bicycle, mechanical watch, Shanghai brand tape recorder, all in use.
There is also a large solid wood wardrobe, a dressing table with a mirror, and a pair of gold bracelets.
Things were unloaded from the car one by one, and the eyes of the people around were wide open.
What kind of wealthy family can come up with so much betrothal gifts overnight just to marry a slut!
Shen Sisi was also shocked. Her intuition told her that Gu Chengfeng's background and methods were even more powerful than she had imagined!
She understood that Gu Chengfeng was trying to save her face.
Make people look up to her.
I will never bully them and their mother and aunt again.
But I can’t let my uncle get away with it…
She felt very sad when she thought that all these things would go into her uncle's pocket and be used by him to pay off his debts and serve as her cousin's dowry.
At this time, someone joked, "Old Chen, I didn't expect your Sisi to be so capable. Her betrothal gift is so grand, your Tingting's must be even more than hers..."
Chen Jianguo's face was blue and red, and he snorted coldly: "These are nothing. Huaidong cherishes my Tingting, which is much more valuable than these empty words..."
"That guy surnamed Gu hasn't even shown up yet. I don't think he's sincere at all..."
As soon as the words fell, a steady but powerful voice came over the crowd: "Who said I wasn't sincere!"
The man stood against the sunlight, his straight military uniform outlining his slender figure and thin waist, like the lines cut by a whistling cold wind, his temperament was awe-inspiring.
The pressure emanating from his body made the whispers around him stop abruptly, and people dared not even breathe.
He walked through the crowd with a powerful aura and went straight to Shen Sisi.
When he saw her, he immediately restrained the hostility in his eyes: "I'm sorry Sisi, I'm late."
Shen Sisi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that he was safe and sound, she actually felt like crying.
"Are you okay?"
He shook his head: "I'll explain it to you later..."
After calming Shen Sisi down, Gu Chengfeng turned to look at Chen Jianguo.
Under the brim of his hat, his face was cold and hard, his eyes were sharp as a knife: "Uncle, I'm late, you don't mind!"
Chen Jianguo shuddered at his hawk-like gaze and shook his head repeatedly in guilt: "No, I don't mind! It's good that you're here..."
He walked past Chen Jianguo with a grim look, suppressed his anger, and forced a relatively friendly smile at everyone.
"Today, I, Gu Chengfeng, am here to ask for the hand in marriage of Comrade Shen Sisi. Please have some wedding candy and share in the good fortune."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out several large bags of wedding candy and distributed them to everyone, allowing everyone to divide them among themselves.
At this time, someone in the crowd recognized him.
"Gu Chengfeng? He was the bully of Lin County back then!"
"He actually joined the army..."
"And you married a piece of slut..." Before he could even utter the word "shoe", he was strangled by Gu Chengfeng's glare.
Gu Chengfeng frowned and threw the wedding candy heavily on the man's hand: "Even wedding candy can't shut you up?"
The man was so frightened that he trembled and became completely obedient.
When they learned that this was Gu Chengfeng, they didn't know whether to accept the call or not, and they all cast sympathetic glances at Shen Sisi.
Such a weak little girl actually married a scoundrel. She will suffer in the future...
Gu Chengfeng finally found some time to call Shen Sisi aside and took out a small box wrapped in brown paper from his arms.
"I'm sorry, the car delivering the medicine broke down on the way, and I went to help repair it, so I'm late." He held the medicine in both hands and handed it to Shen Sisi, like a child who had done something wrong, his tone was muffled and panicked.
Shen Sisi didn't even look at the medicine, her eyes fixed on his blackened fingers, her heart tightening.
"Why are you apologizing? I should be the one thanking you..."
She took the medicine and put it in her pocket. With her other hand, she took out a freshly washed handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingertips.
Gu Chengfeng looked like he was scalded by boiling water, his face turned red: "Don't touch it, it's dirty..."
Shen Sisi glared at him reproachfully and suddenly grabbed the big hand: “Don’t move!”
His eyes met the domineering and serious face, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Shen Sisi was unaware of anything and was wiping her fingers carefully, each of which was clearly visible on their own, with a stern face and no words.
He definitely couldn't wait for the medicine, so he just groped his way along.
I don't know how long we drove before we encountered a car that broke down on the road.
He went to help someone repair his car and came back in a hurry.
I didn't even have time to wash my hands, I must be exhausted...
"Thank you for your hard work..." Shen Sisi said softly, not caring whether he heard her or not, and pulled him upstairs: "Come on, wash your hands and eat..."
This meal tasted delicious.
Chen Jianguo was embarrassed, but he dared not say anything and just drank in silence.
Zhao Shilan chewed her rice, her mouth filled with sweetness, and her face was full of wrinkles as she smiled.
Shen Sisi lowered her head and kept putting meat into Gu Chengfeng's bowl, thinking about how to return the betrothal gifts.
Looking at the mountain of food in the bowl, Gu Chengfeng's smile never dropped, and he even ate two more bowls of rice.
Only Niu Niu is heartless, like a curious baby.
Sometimes he touched the radio curiously, and sometimes he crawled under the sewing machine to play with the small pedal.
Having a lot of fun.
After dinner, she thought about talking to Gu Chengfeng about the betrothal gift.
Gu Chengfeng stood up first and took out a brown paper envelope: "Aunt, Uncle, the betrothal gifts have been delivered, and the promised betrothal gifts are also ready. I will take Sisi with me. The train is at 3 pm, so I won't stay for long."
Zhao Shilan was stunned: "Is it so urgent?"
Gu Chengfeng glanced at Shen Sisi, anxious? He felt that he had delayed too long.
"My vacation is over." Gu Chengfeng said this and then urged Shen Sisi to pack up her things, but she pulled him into a corner.
"Gu Chengfeng, do you really not want this thing?"
He made a silent gesture with his finger and leaned closer to the little girl in his arms: "I said, he can't take anything that he shouldn't take..."
Shen Sisi didn't know what he wanted to do, so she simply stopped thinking about it and just trusted him.
It’s getting late, we have to pack up and set off!
