"No need to say more, I believe you."
He lowered his head slightly and looked Lin Jingshu in the eye. Their eyes met, full of warmth and seriousness.
Wow, what a nice person.
Lin Jingshu looked at him quietly, her breath falling on the palm of her hand, and her lips brushing across the skin of his palm intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Chengze blinked his eyelashes slightly, hiding the lust in his eyes.
Gu Chengze withdrew his hand, the warm touch seemed to still be there. He changed the subject and said, "Let's go eat."
"good."
The two walked to the state-owned restaurant, and when they entered, there were no empty seats.
"Comrades, I need you to share a table. Is that okay with you?"
Lin Jingshu thought about it and nodded. Since there was no other place to eat, it would have to be this way.
The waiter stood on tiptoe, looked around, pointed to a table in the corner and said, "There are two empty seats over there. You can sit there."
Looking in the direction of the waiter's finger, Lin Jingshu could only see a figure and its back, as it was blocked by a pillar.
It feels strangely familiar.
It was not until she got closer that Lin Jingshu saw clearly that the person sitting there was Lin Qiaoqiao, and she sighed in her heart that enemies often meet on a narrow road.
There was a bowl of cold noodles in front of Lin Qiaoqiao, the soup was watery and very unappetizing.
A shadow suddenly fell in front of her eyes, and she frowned. Who is so tactless?
"Lin Jingshu?"
"What a coincidence."
Lin Jingshu pulled Gu Chengze to sit down, and their food was served soon.
Braised pork, carp with mashed garlic, scrambled eggs with green onions, and a soup.
A four-course meal for two people is a real luxury.
Lin Qiaoqiao complained, but her eyes never left the plate of braised pork.
Zheng Guoqiang standing by was also embarrassed. It was because he had recently lost all his money playing cards and didn't dare to tell his family.
If his father knew he was playing cards again, he would definitely break his legs.
When they came to eat, they only had enough money to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles, not even any meat sauce.
In his opinion, Lin Jingshu deliberately ordered so many meat dishes in front of him, so that he could eat them as long as he asked.
As for face, it’s not important. The meat in your mouth is the real thing.
"Jingshu, you guys can't finish your meal, why don't we eat together?"
As he spoke, he extended his chopsticks towards the plate of braised pork.
With a "snap", the chopsticks were intercepted by someone.
Zheng Guoqiang looked at the owner of the chopsticks. Gu Chengze looked at him with a stern look in his eyes. "If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself."
"Sister, I didn't expect you couldn't even afford meat."
Lin Jingshu lowered her voice, moved closer to Lin Qiaoqiao, and spoke in her ear.
What a joke! She's not stupid. Most people can't afford meat, and few are as generous as Gu Chengze. She said this on purpose to provoke Lin Qiaoqiao.
She had shown off in front of the original owner before, and today it was her turn to have a taste of it.
Lin Qiaoqiao looked unhappy because she had ridiculed Lin Jingshu with the same words.
Now that the boomerang has hit someone, only they know the pain.
Lin Qiaoqiao threw down her chopsticks and left without looking back.
Lin Jingshu crossed her arms and looked expressionlessly at Zheng Guoqiang, who was staring at the meat. "Why aren't you leaving?"
Zheng Guoqiang withdrew his hand, and facing Gu Chengze's death gaze, he moved his butt slightly, stood up and chased after him.
Now that the annoying person was gone, Lin Jingshu could finally eat in peace.
Lin Jingshu had a small appetite, and after eating, she found that the food had only caused some minor scratches on her skin.
"Eat some more."
Gu Chengze kept putting food into her bowl. Thinking of her previous slender waist, it seemed as if it would be blown down by the wind.
Lin Jingshu quickly grabbed the bowl to stop him from serving her food, "I'm full."
After saying that, she looked at him pitifully.
Gu Chengze: I wouldn’t dare say that my nephew’s appetite is bigger than hers.
"Finish the bowl."
"Okay." Lin Jingshu agreed readily. Fortunately, he didn't take too much.
As the sun set, Gu Chengze drove Lin Jingshu back home.
"I've already submitted my marriage application, and it shouldn't take long to be approved. The family housing estate will also be approved quickly. However, there are no buildings on the island, only bungalows, similar to home."
He didn't know whether Lin Jingshu would like it.
"A bungalow is better. We can grow some vegetables and flowers in the yard."
There is no need to worry about noise from upstairs, let alone clogged pipes. It can be considered a simple version of a villa.
Hearing her say this, Gu Chengze breathed a sigh of relief.
The island is under construction, and various facilities are improving. Basic water and electricity are no problem. The island also has its own primary and secondary schools, so the children's education is guaranteed.
"My monthly salary is 150 yuan, and I also have various tickets, but I didn't bring any with me this time. When we get home, I'll give them all to you for safekeeping."
"Really?" Lin Jingshu's eyes sparkled.
"Of course." Gu Chengze answered affirmatively. He doesn't smoke or drink normally, and he only has occasional social interactions, which don't cost much money.
After getting married, the comrades-in-arms all gave their money to their wives to manage.
Gu Chengze thought to himself that it felt really good to be under someone’s control.
One day later.
The train arrived at Nanshi Railway Station. Zeng Lingshu looked at her grandson leaning against the window and pulled him back.
"Be careful, and get off the car and take a closer look."
The half-grown child was lying outside the car window, which made her terrified.
"Mom, it's okay, I'm holding onto Xiaoqi's clothes."
Gu Chengli smiled, revealing his arms hidden under his clothes.
"That won't work either." Zeng Lingshu patted her grandson's butt and told him to behave himself.
"Uncle, I want to go out and play."
Gu Jingqi was in his grandmother's arms, spinning non-stop, like a little top that he couldn't control.
Zeng Lingshu was dizzy because of him. Just when she was about to agree, she heard the whistle of the train arriving at the station.
"Here we are."
Gu Chengli picked up his little nephew first, put the package on his back, and helped his mother get out of the car.
Even though the distance from Beijing to here is not far, Zeng Lingshu still felt a little dizzy after sitting on the train for a day and a half.
Not to mention bringing my grandson with me on the road. Fortunately, my youngest son accompanied me, otherwise I would have been too busy.
"Grandma, hold on to me."
The train station was crowded with people. Zeng Lingshu was accidentally pushed away and fell one step behind them. Gu Jingqi was so scared that he shouted for help.
Zeng Lingshu almost fell down, and the package in her hand was about to fall to the ground. A pair of big hands supported her and held the package in their hands.
Looking at the person coming, Gu Jingqi shouted, "Second Uncle!"
Gu Chengze helped his mother to stand steadily and pinched Gu Jingqi's face. "It's been so long since we last met. Xiaoqi has become even more handsome."
Gu Jingqi chuckled and wanted to hug him.
"How did you get in?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to find a place. There are too many people here. Let's go out and talk."
Hu Chuang and Lin Jingshu were waiting at the entrance of the train station.
"I saw them."
Almost at the same time, Zeng Lingshu noticed the little girl with a bright smile and felt a little more favorable towards her. She seemed to be a good child.
Gu Chengze stuffed his things into the car and introduced Lin Jingshu and Hu Chuang to his mother.
"Mom, this is Jingshu, and this is Hu Chuang, my comrade-in-arms."
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Jingshu." Lin Jingshu was glad that she dressed up before coming, otherwise it would be too rude to meet people in a dirty look.
