Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Jiang Hongguo kissed him: "No problem,...
Jiang Hongguo burned all the clothes and other things that Changzong had used to disguise himself as his elementary school teacher to prevent any future trouble. She had made an appointment with her second uncle's family for a meal, but her uncle was busy with a new case and had to make a new appointment.
In fact, it doesn't matter to Hongguo whether they eat or not. It's just that Changzong is afraid that Duan Zhiqing will surpass him in status in the future, so he starts to get along with his relatives. Hongguo is open-minded about it. Duan Zhiqing is at most developing in the provincial capital. At worst, she and Changzong can just move to another city and not see each other. As long as she, Changzong and Xiaobudian are together, that is home.
She was making a plan in her mind, thinking over every aspect to make sure there were no omissions. Only then did she concentrate on making dinner. Just as she threw the dumplings into the boiling water, she heard Changzong arguing with Lao Zheng again.
Changzong asked Lao Zheng to use diapers for the little one, saying that he had money and he would buy new ones after the diapers were used up. Lao Zheng was unwilling to do so, saying that they were not breathable, so he should just use diapers, which he was willing to wash.
Changzong went home and complained to Hongguo: "Old Zheng went too far."
Jiang Hongguo was relieved that even Lao Zheng had begun to have his own opinions and could say no to Changzong. Isn't this a good thing?
Hong Guo asked him to get a plate and put the dumplings on it to send to Lao Zheng. She also said, "As long as someone is willing to wash them, using diapers is fine. Let him do it."
"Guoguo, if you think using diapers is better, then give Diandian diapers." Changzong changed his mind in an instant in front of Hongguo.
In fact, Hongguo herself was willing to use diapers for the little one, so that the adults could save trouble. She said, "I'll use diapers for Diandian at night. Don't let Lao Zheng know. He's been nagging a lot lately."
Lao Zheng was a bit long-winded, but Hongguo seemed happy about it.
Chang Zong said happily: "Guo Guo, we both think the same way."
After returning from this trip, Changzong stayed at home for several days. The previous times he found goods that could be shipped to Guangdong in one day. What happened this time?
Hong Guo asked, "Chang Zong, my uncle is busy and I'm not sure when he will be free for dinner. You should go out first."
Gu Changzong wanted Hongguo to go with him: "Guoguo, Diandian has someone to take care of him. I would be very happy if you could accompany her."
This is not like Changzong's character. Hongguo smiled and asked: "If you tell the truth, then I can consider it."
Gu Changzong was afraid that Hongguo would misunderstand him. Of course he believed in Hongguo, but Duan Hongwen was annoying and he was afraid that he would come to find Hongguo again when he was away. Gu Changzong had this kind of crisis and intuition, otherwise why wouldn't he be jealous of Xiao Zheng and only be wary of Duan Zhiqing?
Chang Zong was very upset and said, "Guo Guo, Duan Zhiqing has worked for two years and has become a small leader. With such ability to handle things, he can't be honest. He is one year older than me and still has no partner. He is waiting for a good price and wants to find a marriage that will help him the most. You have to be careful of him."
Chang Zong was right. Hong Guo hugged him and laughed tremblingly: "So you don't have to worry. You are the only one who treasures me. Duan Zhiqing doesn't think highly of me. What are you worried about?"
Hong Guo coaxed him for a long time, dispelled his anxiety, and assured him: "Even if he really has those thoughts you said, I will not pay attention to him. In my heart, he can't compare to you. I like you the most."
Gu Changzong's heart surged when he heard this: "Guoguo, you don't think I'm suspicious, do you?"
Jiang Hongguo kissed him: "Don't mind, I like it very much."
The two of them were so affectionate that they forgot to give the dumplings to Lao Zheng. Hong Guo felt guilty: "They are all overcooked. This is not good. Let's make another pot."
Changzong didn't mind, he could eat anything. He picked out seven or eight good ones for Hongguo, and mixed the rest with vinegar and ate them as dough dumplings.
Hongguo was satisfied with seven or eight meals. She couldn't help but touch Changzong's handsome eyebrows, causing him to look up and worry: "What's wrong, Guoguo?"
Jiang Hongguo's heart and eyes were filled with him. She felt warm and happy in her heart. She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I just like you so much."
Changzong likes Hongguo just as much. With Lao Zheng, he can spend more time alone with Hongguo.
He ate the boiled dumplings in the bowl in a few bites, washed his hands, and used the remaining stuffing to make a bowl of raw dumplings, saying, "I'll send some dumplings to Lao Zheng."
Hong Guo got up and went with him, and couldn't help but praise: "Chang Zong, you are so nice."
Old Zheng couldn't learn how to cook, so he tried not to overcook the delicious dumplings. Chang Zong used Old Zheng's kitchen to make dumplings, which touched Old Zheng. He said, "Actually, using diapers is also good."
Changjong: "If you want to wash diapers, then it's up to you."
Jiang Hongguo smiled and said that it was really good like this now.
…
After having a frank talk with Changzong about Duan Zhiqing, he found the goods to be sent to Guangdong the next day and drove the car to load them.
Jiang Hongguo went to Xiao Zheng to help him look at a batch of goods. Xiao Zheng added some jade and said that the antique business was limited now, but with the addition of jade, the business was pretty good.
When Hongguo touched these jade materials, he could actually see the stone-cutting process. He was extremely surprised to find that these jade materials were actually cut out of stones.
Today was the first time she knew about gambling on jade. Before a piece of jade is opened, no one knows the quality of the material. Even if a small piece is cut, there is a possibility that a large area of the material is not good, or the material that is not favored may be cut into top-grade jade with one cut.
Gambling on stones, a piece of stone can actually make a person go bankrupt, or become rich overnight. Hongguo's heart couldn't stop beating when she touched the jade materials for the finished carvings. It seemed like she had found a money-making business again. She pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile, but Xiao Zheng still saw through it.
Xiao Zheng was smart and asked, "Sister, you can tell whether jade is good or bad, right? That's great, let's go to the jade market, we'll definitely make money."
Jiang Hongguo smiled and said, "I don't know either. I'll know the result when I see a piece of stone cut out next time I get a chance."
Xiao Zheng took this matter seriously and explained to Hong Guo the grades of jade and the quality of jadeite. Hong Guo listened carefully and decided to give it a try when he had the chance.
Before she knew it, they had been talking for over an hour. Xiao Zheng reminded her that Duan Zhiqing had come again. Hong Guo thought that he was not here to see her, so she asked in a friendly tone, "Are you here to buy jade or antiques as a gift?"
Duan Hongwen smiled and said, "I was passing by here, and it was such a coincidence that I saw you here, so I came in to say hello."
Hongguo thought to herself, could Changzong have guessed it right? But this didn't make sense. She was a country girl who was married with children and had no use to Duan Zhiqing. Why was he wasting his time on her?
Hongguo smiled but didn't take the initiative to respond, hoping that he would understand and leave.
Duan Hongwen asked: "Hongguo, is Changzong back?"
Hong Guo said, "I've been back for a few days, but I have to leave again tomorrow."
Duan Hongwen was very disappointed: "Then I have to make another appointment if I want to find him. It's not easy for you two young couples to spend so little time together."
Hongguo became more and more confused. Whether she and Changzong were getting along well or not had nothing to do with Duan Zhiqing. His sudden concern was puzzling.
Hong Guo didn't like guessing riddles. After Xiao Zheng went to the warehouse tactfully, Hong Guo asked directly, "Duan Zhiqing, we haven't seen each other for seven years since you were admitted to university in 1987. Why are you suddenly so concerned about me? What's the matter?"
Duan Hongwen hurriedly explained: "Hongguo, don't misunderstand me. I am completely indebted to Uncle Jiang for this, and I want to make it up to you. I just want to remind you, don't you think Changzong has some problems?"
Duan Zhiqing hasn't met Changzong yet, so why did he ask this question?
Hongguo had always felt guilty about Changzong's background. When she heard this, she felt anxious, but she couldn't show it for fear of being seen through.
She said with a straight face: "I told Changzong about your story. Changzong said you had feelings for me, and I spoke up for you and told him not to think too much. Why are you being so mysterious? Can't you just speak clearly and stop playing dumb?"
Duan Hongwen said, "Hongguo, Changzong was unable to return to the city until 1983 because of his class background. Do you know how many letters he wrote to his high school classmate in the first year of his marriage to you? Last time Changzong went to Shenzhen to deliver goods, his female classmate actually came to me to ask about his life in the countryside. I didn't say anything nonsense, but I asked some questions in return. From her answers, I can tell that Changzong has a lot of problems. Hongguo, I'm telling you this just to repay Uncle Jiang. You can go and ask Changzong yourself."
No matter what the situation, Hong Guo would not be provoked. She smiled and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. I knew about it a long time ago, but I can't tell you the reason. You can't say that others have problems just because you don't understand the underlying reasons. Don't do this again in the future, okay?"
Hong Guo didn't care what Duan Zhiqing's purpose was. She was not afraid. The current Chang Zong was different from the previous Gu Zhiqing. But why did Chang Zong contact his former female classmates? She had to have a good talk with Chang Zong about this.
She said hello to Xiao Zheng and ran to the factory where they delivered the goods to find Chang Zong.
Gu Changzong was surprised and happy. Could it be that Hongguo changed her mind and was willing to accompany him to Shenzhen?
"Guoguo, why are you here?" Gu Changzong's eyes were full of smiles.
Hong Guo pulled him aside and said, "Chang Zong, you guessed right. Duan Zhiqing just told me that in the first year of your marriage to me, you wrote letters to your female classmates. When you went to Shenzhen, your female classmates asked around about you. I'm not questioning you when I tell you this. I believe you. What's going on?"
Gu Changzong gnashed his teeth at Duan Zhiqing, who was nosy and believed everything he heard. He hurriedly explained, "Those guys envied my extravagant life when I was in high school. After secretly reporting me to my grandmother, they took advantage of my misfortune. Several of them ganged up on me at school and criticized me. I had no choice but to go to the countryside. The last time I went to Shenzhen, that woman's husband had several bones broken. She probably thought it was me who did it."
So that's how it is. Those who used to bully others are now afraid after seeing that those they bullied have become powerful and successful.
Jiang Hongguo almost asked if he did it, but then she thought, that woman was able to find the educated youth who had sent Changzong to the countryside, so she must have called the police. If she had evidence, she would have arrested Changzong long ago and would not have been so helpless as to ask around.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Hongguo said in fear.
Changzong was suddenly scared. He didn't hide it on purpose. It was Lao Zheng who said that it would be better not to tell it, otherwise it would destroy the relationship between husband and wife.
"I went to warn that woman, but I didn't expect her to keep asking questions. I wrote to her before, but I was afraid you might misunderstand me. I thought I had dealt with it, but I didn't expect them to be so fearless and not understand the current situation."
Hong Guo didn't misunderstand. She was afraid that Chang Zong would suffer a loss, so she said, "Then I will go with you this time."
Gu Changzong was so happy that he said his uncle had just come and wanted to invite them to dinner in the evening. Hongguo asked Changzong to go to his uncle's unit and wait for him to get off work. She would go home to pick up Diandian first, then go to her uncle's house to help her aunt cook.
My aunt is taking a day off today and was looking forward to her coming. Diandian is not shy and although she is still young, she can make people happy with just a few smiles. My aunt's two children have gone to school, and suddenly a soft and sticky little ball kissed her in her arms. She loved her so much that she didn't want to let go.
"Hongguo, your eldest uncle and third uncle are away with grandpa today. Next time when grandpa celebrates his birthday, I will introduce you to our whole family."
Today, her second uncle asked Changzong to come with her and the children for dinner, as a thank you to Changzong for protecting her uncle and several of his colleagues by blocking a car at the gate of the Public Security Bureau. If it weren't for her uncle's strong invitation, she and Changzong would not have come.
My aunt politely took care of her face, and Hongguo smiled and accepted: "Okay, then I understand."
Second aunt likes this young couple Changzong and Hongguo. They are so smart and likable.
The main dishes were ready, and my aunt looked at the time and muttered, "Your uncle and Changzong should be back soon."
As he was speaking, the man came back.
