Chapter 36 Two Mothers' Thoughts
I saw Gu Ye carrying such a big bag, while Shen Zhiyou was only carrying a small shoulder bag.
Mother Gu was somewhat dissatisfied.
Now when they go out together, it is Gu Ye who carries the heavy things. When the couple really live together, can Shen Zhiyou take good care of Gu Ye?
Chen Cuijuan was still immersed in the joy that she might be able to see the world someday thanks to her daughter, and she didn't notice that Mother Gu was in a bad mood at all. She greeted her with a smile: "My dear relative, you are here. Let's take them to the car together."
Chen Cuijuan spoke in such a familiar tone that if you didn’t know her, you would think she was Gu Ye’s biological mother.
Mother Gu forced a smile: "Yes, even though the second child has been there so many times, I'm still worried."
"Don't worry, Lao Er, the farm is not so busy now, and the house will be ready soon. You can live in the new house when you come back next time."
"The house is big enough to accommodate you even if you bring your grandchildren back!"
Originally, Gu's mother thought that since both of them had joined the army, there was no need to rush to build a house.
But now look at Chen Cuijuan's attitude.
This is not how a mother-in-law should act.
If you didn’t know, you would think he was here to snatch her son away.
A son-in-law is half a son.
What Chen Cuijuan said unconsciously at that time made Gu's mother feel a strong sense of crisis at this moment.
The second child is kindhearted and the easiest to be fooled.
Shen Zhiyou is a demon. What if she whispers in the second brother's ear every day and makes the second brother get closer to Shen Zhiyou's family and go to help Shen Zhiyou's two brothers?
Mother Gu even thought that Shen Zhiyou should just not go.
The newly married couple has a normal relationship.
If you live in two different places and don't see each other more than twice a year, your feelings will naturally fade.
The relationship with my wife has faded, not to mention the relationship with her family.
Chen Cuijuan's lips curled up when she heard what Gu's mother said: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that? You are about to go out and say such things. Won't it make the children feel uncomfortable?"
When Mother Gu heard this, she looked up and saw that Gu Ye's face looked not very good.
She quickly explained with a smile: "No, I'm just worried that Youyou is weak and might feel uncomfortable on the road, right?"
Mother Gu has a particularly kind face.
If it were before, Shen Zhiyou would definitely think that Gu's mother said this out of consideration for her.
But now...she didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
Noticing that Gu Ye was not in a good mood, she laughed and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Besides, I have to go there sooner or later. Isn't it better to have Gu Ye with me now than to go alone later?"
"That's right, Mom was thinking in the wrong direction, haha."
It was still dark and the bus hadn't arrived yet.
Chen Cuijuan booked a tractor from the village for them in advance. When they arrived at the intersection of the production team, Uncle Li was waiting there.
After the two of them got in the car, Chen Cuijuan looked at her daughter and her nose suddenly felt sore.
He quickly suppressed his anger and said to Gu Ye, "Xiao Gu, this is Youyou's first time going away from home, please help take care of her."
Gu Ye nodded: "Affirmative."
"With you here, Mom feels much more at ease. Please be careful on the road. When you arrive, please bring a message home, okay?"
"I know, mom. You guys should go back and get some rest."
Mother Gu looked at Chen Cuijuan talking one after another, and she was not to be outdone, "Second brother, take good care of Youyou. Mom is at home, you don't have to worry about anything."
Then he looked at Shen Zhiyou's belly again and said with a smile: "Youyou, tell us as soon as you have any movement. Your father and I are looking forward to holding our grandchildren."
Shen Zhiyou: “….”
She couldn't continue this topic and silently threw the question to Gu Ye.
Gu Ye pursed his lips and said, "Let nature take its course. If I get pregnant, I'll naturally let my family know."
"We are all happy for our grandchildren. Okay, don't delay the car, Uncle Li, let's go quickly."
Chen Cuijuan smiled, touched Shen Zhiyou's face and waved her hand.
Uncle Li responded, and somehow he twisted his head, the tractor began to vibrate rapidly, and Shen Zhiyou's buttocks became numb.
Chen Cuijuan wanted to say something to her daughter, but all she could hear was the sound of the tractor.
When they were almost out of sight, Chen Cuijuan wiped her eyes and said, "The wind this morning is really hurting my eyes. Mother-in-law, let's go back."
Because of what Chen Cuijuan said just now, "All the grandchildren like it", Gu's mother was very unhappy.
Seeing Chen Cuijuan like this, his face looked even worse.
No wonder everyone says she is mentally ill.
Who would curse their daughter to give birth to a daughter?
Yes, Shen Zhiyou is her daughter. Even if she gives birth to a son, he is still a grandson to them. She definitely doesn’t care.
But that is the grandson of the old Gu family!
However, Mother Gu was too lazy to tell Chen Cuijuan this, and nodded perfunctorily, implying something:
"When the second brother first went back, I felt worse than you. Sigh, so many years have passed in a flash."
Chen Cuijuan didn't bother to pay attention to her sarcasm.
Before they had much dealings with each other, she thought that Mrs. Gu was a nice person and was very good to her three sons.
Now that Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyou are married and they have more dealings with each other, Chen Cuijuan realizes that she is a bit hypocritical.
He is clearly partial to his eldest grandson and youngest son, but he insists on pretending that he treats them equally.
She is even worse than me. She is scolded for being mentally ill every day, and it is obvious that she is biased towards her daughter!
How can a son and daughter-in-law be as caring as a daughter?
————
Over the years, including the first time he set out to join the army, Gu Ye basically walked to the county.
This is the first time I’ve taken a ride like this.
To be honest, the tractor is not much faster than walking, and the whole body feels numb and uncomfortable, but it is definitely relaxing.
When he arrived in the city, he felt much more energetic than before.
When they arrived at the city bus station, Gu Ye put the luggage on the ground and asked Shen Zhiyou to stand there and wait for him while he went to buy a ticket.
Communication is inconvenient now, and it is also inconvenient to go out. I am afraid of missing the bus or being delayed by other things on the way, so I leave home a few hours earlier like them.
Some even came last night.
It was Shen Zhiyou's first time to take a bus in the city, and everything was unfamiliar to her.
Gu Ye asked her to stand there and wait for him to buy the ticket, and she didn't even dare to move.
Currently, buying tickets is not based on real names, and there is no rule that those who buy tickets first will get on the bus first.
Seeing her standing there blankly, he asked her to get in the car and wait for him.
Anyway, the tickets all say that it's from the city to the provincial capital. If this bus is full, you have to wait for the next one, and the tickets will be checked only when all the people are there.
When Shen Zhiyou heard this, she nodded quickly and found two seats closer to the front.
It was just as Gu Ye said. Not long after she got on the bus and sat down, the bus was already full. Several people saw that the seat next to her was empty and wanted to sit down.
Shen Zhiyou quickly moved to the outside and put her bag on the seat inside: "Someone is here."
The ticket inspector stood at the door of the train, frowning and shouting: "Wait for the next train. Those who don't have a seat should get off first. The next train will be here soon!"
Many people were going to the provincial capital to catch the train like them.
The next bus is still half an hour away, and you may not be able to catch it!
So many people were trying to squeeze in that the ticket seller was getting really annoyed.
Seeing Gu Ye in military uniform, his expression improved a little: "Comrade, this bus is full, wait for the next one."
