"Okay, I'll wait for you at the educated youth camp."
Their eyes met, and in the quiet night, their hearts beat quietly.
"See you tomorrow, Xiao Qiao."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
The two reluctantly let go of each other's hands. Jiang Xiaoqiao took two or three steps forward and looked back. Gu Xiangbei was still standing there looking at her.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoqiao looking back, Gu Xiangbei waved and said, "Go back, Xiaoqiao, we'll see you tomorrow."
Although he said this, he stood there motionless.
Jiang Xiaoqiao took two more steps and looked back. He was still standing there.
She pursed her lips and ran quickly towards Gu Xiangbei.
He subconsciously stepped forward and held her in his arms.
Jiang Xiaoqiao stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Xiangbei on the lips.
"I'm leaving, you should go back too, we'll see you tomorrow."
This time, Jiang Xiaoqiao really ran back to the educated youth site.
In the educated youth center, Zhou Yan and He Huaijun were still twisting straw ropes in the yard to supplement their family income.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoqiao coming back, he greeted her.
Jiang Xiaoqiao chatted with them for a few words and went back to the house happily.
Zhou Yan and He Huaijun looked at each other, both with smiles in their eyes.
"It seems that Xiao Qiao and Comrade Gu have a good relationship." He Huaijun said.
Zhou Yan said: "Xiao Qiao and Comrade Gu are quite a good match..."
Their eyes met, and for some reason, they stopped talking and just looked at each other quietly.
…
Outside the educated youth point, Gu Xiangbei put his hand on his lips and smiled like a fool.
Gu Xiangbei, who has always been calm and reliable, stood outside the educated youth site for a long time. When the night wind blew, he jumped towards the mountain.
By the time Gu Xiangbei pushed his bicycle back to the Gu family compound, the entire brigade was already quiet and every household was asleep.
Gu Xiangbei reached out and gently pushed the courtyard door, but it was locked from the inside.
He left his bicycle, sewing machine and radio outside the gate, climbed over the wall into the yard, opened the door, pushed the bicycle in, and then closed the gate.
Then, Gu Xiangbei fetched water to wash up, went back to the house and went to sleep happily.
Lying in bed, Gu Xiangbei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
In the end, I was only able to feel a little sleepy because I had to pick up Jiang Xiaoqiao tomorrow, and forced myself to fall asleep.
Not long after falling asleep, Gu Xiangbei felt a pair of jade-white hands touching his chest...
Their bodies approached...
…
call!
Gu Xiangbei suddenly opened his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he sat up, his breathing became very unstable.
Sweat dripped from his forehead. Gu Xiangbei lifted the thin quilt, looked at the situation underneath, and smiled bitterly.
He really doesn't have the strong willpower I imagined, and he's even a little bit dirty...
Gu Xiangbei got up in a panic, changed into clean clothes, and went out to the yard to wash his pants and quilt.
After washing, Gu Xiangbei simply did not go back to the house to sleep, but sat in the yard to calm down.
When it was dawn, while no one in the house got up yet, Gu Xiangbei brought the clothes and quilts from the yard back into the house, then went to the kitchen to start making breakfast.
When Gu Jinhua got up, she saw He Zhaodi sweeping the floor in the yard and there was a smell of smoke in the kitchen.
"Big Boss's wife, is it Big Boss cooking in the kitchen?"
Oh my god, can this boss cook?
The last time I went into the kitchen was a few years ago when my eldest son’s wife got married. He went into the kitchen to help with the work and almost broke the big iron pot in the house.
Gu Jinhua's face was filled with worry, and she cursed the eldest brother and his wife in her heart for not knowing how to manage their lives. This was the only big iron pot in the house, and she couldn't let the eldest brother break it...
He Zhaodi reached out and grabbed Gu Jinhua, who was about to rush into the kitchen, and said, "Mom, Xiangdong hasn't woken up yet. It's Fourth Uncle who's making breakfast in the kitchen."
"Is Gu Laosi back?"
Gu Jinhua's face was filled with anger. She said, "Big Boss's wife, you don't have to stop me. I'm going in to scold this brat and see what he's thinking about all day long!"
He Zhaodi was unable to stop him, and fearing that Gu Jinhua would get hurt by her fourth uncle, she thought about it and decided to follow him in.
Gu Xiangbei was making breakfast when a man rushed in angrily.
"Mom, breakfast isn't ready yet. It'll take a while."
Gu Xiangbei, who had successfully proposed, was in a very good mood and said considerately: "If you are really hungry, why not have a boiled egg first?"
"I'll beat your balls!" Gu Jinhua said angrily, "Gu Xiangbei, what are you thinking between you and Xiao Qiao..."
Xiao Qiao is such a good girl, but the rumors outside are so ugly now, and it’s all because of Gu Laosi’s inaction!
She was so mad, so mad!
Those gossips also blamed her for the decline in her fighting power.
Today at work, she was determined to antagonize those people until they were too afraid to speak...
Hearing Gu Jinhua mention Xiao Qiao, Gu Xiangbei's ears blushed, and he said shyly: "Mom, I'll have to trouble you and Dad to help me go to Xiao Qiao's house tomorrow to propose marriage. We already agreed yesterday..."
"Um, w-what?!"
Gu Jinhua suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. What did she just hear?
He Zhaodi said considerately, "Mom, Fourth Uncle asked you and Dad to help him go to the educated youth camp to propose marriage tomorrow."
Gu Xiangbei nodded and repeated, "Xiao Qiao and I have already agreed on the betrothal gift of 88 yuan, and the arrangements for the three transfers and one ring have also been made. I will propose marriage tomorrow, and we will get the marriage certificate on a good date."
Gu Jinhua's anger disappeared without a trace in an instant. She stared at Gu Xiangbei with wide eyes, a little bit unbelievable.
"Mom, I'm leaving it to you and Dad." Gu Xiangbei said solemnly.
"No, no, no, you're welcome..." Gu Jinhua said, "I, I'll go back to the house and talk to your father."
Gu Jinhua walked out of the kitchen in a daze. Seeing that the two did not quarrel and Gu Jinhua was not angry, He Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief and went out to sweep the yard.
As for the betrothal gift of three turns and one ring, He Zhaodi didn't care at all. That was the betrothal gift given by her fourth uncle to her fourth brother's wife, and it had nothing to do with her.
Gu Jinhua returned to the room and saw Gu Weimin still sleeping, so she reached out to pat him awake.
"Old Gu, Old Gu! Wei Min, Wei Min, wake up!"
Gu Jinhua slapped Gu Weimin several times before he woke up in a daze.
"What's wrong? Are you going to work?"
"Who told you about going to work? It's a big deal!" Gu Jinhua said, "Xiao Si and Xiao Qiao are getting married. The gifts are ready. We'll go to their house tomorrow to propose and set a date!"
"Get up quickly!"
Gu Jinhua completely woke up Gu Weimin from his sleepiness. He sat up and said, "Just ask Wang Po to go with you tomorrow."
"I know. I'll go talk to Grandma Wang later." Gu Jinhua said excitedly, "Oh, I'm so excited when I think that Xiao Qiao is really going to become our daughter-in-law!"
Gu Weimin looked at her and wanted to go back to sleep, but he forced himself to stay awake and listened to Gu Jinhua continue chattering.
