While Gu Jinhua was pulling Gu Weimin aside to express his excitement, Gu Xiangbei prepared breakfast in the kitchen and put the portion for Jiang Xiaoqiao into the lunch box.
Looking at the time, it’s a bit too early. Jiang Xiaoqiao hasn’t woken up yet.
Gu Xiangbei thought about it, went back to his room to change his clothes, and when he was about to go out, he went into the kitchen and picked up a small basket.
Gu Weiguo had just woken up and was about to eat two steamed buns that had been left overnight with cold water when Gu Xiangbei came over with a basket.
"It smells good," Gu Weiguo said, "What's for breakfast?"
Gu Xiangbei said: "Uncle, Xiao Qiao and I are getting married, hehehe..."
"Congratulations," Gu Weiguo said, "You two are finally getting married. I'll give you a generous gift when the time comes."
"Thank you, uncle! Hehe, we will discuss the wedding date tomorrow. It shouldn't be too late."
"Um."
Gu Weiguo nodded to indicate that he understood. He had already thought about the gift and there was no need to rush to prepare it.
"Uncle, I expressed my feelings to Xiao Qiao yesterday, and she agreed to marry me..."
Gu Weiguo was originally quite patient, but as he listened to Gu Xiangbei blabbering about his love history, it was almost time to go to work, and most importantly, he was hungry!
"What food did you bring?"
"Uncle, Xiao Qiao accepted my proposal last night! She agreed to marry me! She is willing to be my revolutionary partner..."
Gu Weiguo's eyebrows twitched and he directly took the basket from Gu Xiangbei's hand.
Bring it to you!
…
Gu Weiguo hurriedly finished his breakfast, glanced at Gu Xiangbei who was still trying to show off, and said, "I'm very busy, go talk to someone else!"
After saying this, Gu Weiguo stood up and left, "Close the door when you leave."
Gu Xiangbei looked at Gu Weiguo's back as he couldn't wait to leave, shook his head and said, "Uncle is so impatient, no wonder he is still single..."
Gu Xiangbei had a simple breakfast in Gu Weiguo's yard, washed the dishes on the spot, and went home.
At this time, almost everyone has gone out to work.
Gu Xiangbei went into the kitchen again and made pork wontons on the spot. He cooked them specially for Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Thinking of Mr. Zhou, Gu Xiangbei made more wontons.
…
Jiang Xiaoqiao also got up a little earlier than usual today. Before they parted last night, Gu Xiangbei said he would come to pick her up, and Jiang Xiaoqiao even put on some natural makeup.
Before going out, I bought three servings of fried dough sticks and tomato noodles from the system mall.
It's strange, she just wants to eat tomato noodles today.
As soon as I opened the door of the educated youth site, I saw Gu Xiangbei waiting outside.
Jiang Xiaoqiao was surprised and asked, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"
Gu Xiangbei smiled and said, "I just arrived not long ago, Xiao Qiao, I brought breakfast for you and Mr. Zhou."
"I did too," Jiang Xiaoqiao said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Zhou and I are in for a treat today."
"I'm lucky."
The two of them secretly held hands and walked happily all the way to the clinic.
When Mr. Zhou saw that the two of them came together, he pursed his lips and said nothing because of the sumptuous breakfast.
After the two young lovers exchanged glances for the umpteenth time, Mr. Zhou took a bite of the fried dough stick and said, "Could you please pay a little attention? I, an old man, am still here."
Gu Xiangbei grinned and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm too excited. Xiao Qiao and I are getting engaged and discussing the wedding date tomorrow. I'm so happy!"
???
"Are you two together?" asked Mr. Zhou.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "We haven't broken up. We're just transitioning from a dating relationship to an engaged couple and then a married couple."
Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment. The two young people were getting married. What gift should he give?
After breakfast, Mr. Zhou looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei being affectionate with each other.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop hanging around in front of me. Since we have to discuss the marriage tomorrow, I'll give you a day off today."
"real!?"
Holidays, delicious food and lazy sleep are Jiang Xiaoqiao’s three favorite things.
"Really?" Old Zhou snorted, "How could an old man like me tell a lie?"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "We'll make you something delicious when we get back!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao was thinking of taking Gu Xiangbei for a walk in the mountains and coming back at noon to make lunch for the old man.
Mr. Zhou waved his hand and said, "Okay, I agreed to give you a day off. I can cook for myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
"You'll have a day off tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and come back the day after tomorrow!"
When saying these words, Mr. Zhou's heart was bleeding.
Woo woo woo, he won’t be able to eat delicious food for several days, and can only eat the porridge he cooked himself.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao's eyes were almost shining. She didn't expect to get three days of vacation!
However, she would still come to deliver meals to the old man at mealtime. Even if she didn't come herself, she would ask someone to come.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Gu Xiangbei followed.
"Okay, go away, go away, don't get in my way anymore." Old Zhou scolded with a smile.
Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei left the clinic hand in hand, and went to Daqingshan together.
There are also children and women in the mountains. They all come to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood to supplement their family income.
Jiang Xiaoqiao took Gu Xiangbei to a more secluded place to avoid them.
"Gu Xiangbei, I'm so happy."
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Xiangbei with sparkling eyes, and the latter had been grinning since last night.
"Xiao Qiao, we are getting married!"
There was no one around, and Gu Xiangbei was excited. He reached out and picked up Jiang Xiaoqiao, and spun her several times in the air.
Jiang Xiaoqiao's laughter rang out in the forest, and she responded to Gu Xiangbei.
"Yes, we are getting married!"
Not far away, two comrades who were patrolling the mountain looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes. I was happy for them.
On an ordinary yet unusual morning, Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei found a quiet corner in the mountains and lay quietly, watching the sunlight falling through the leaves above their heads, and the blue sky...
Time seemed to stand still for them.
Gu Jinhua happily agreed with Wang Po to visit her home tomorrow to discuss the marriage, and then went home to make lunch.
Gu Xiangbei didn't come back on time for lunch, so Gu Jinhua specially left him a big bowl of rice and three pieces of meat.
In the yard, the bicycle, sewing machine and radio that Gu Xiangbei pushed back last night were placed in the corner.
The children were curious about the bicycles, and Gu Xiangdong and Gu Weimin were a little jealous.
Men, no matter big or small, old or young, have no resistance to cars.
Gu Jinhua warned them, "Don't move! That's the betrothal gift Xiao Si prepared for Xiao Qiao."
"Grandma, we will definitely not move." Gu Lei was the first to speak.
Gu Jinhua nodded with satisfaction, "My dear grandson."
