Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Some people slap themselves in the face (……
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Donghe Village Production Team began preparations for spring plowing - digging canals.
According to the rules of previous years, each family must provide one strong laborer to complete the repair of the canal before the beginning of spring.
Qingmei went out with her shovel and met other female comrades who were also going to work. When they saw Qingmei coming out, they all said:
"Comrade Qingmei, we came from your house on purpose. Let's go together."
"Which part are you responsible for? Let's do it together."
"The song you sang last time was really nice. Was it adapted from Errenzhuan?"
"You said Ma Xiaoyan was right the other day. She just likes to make sarcastic remarks. Next time we meet her, we'll help you scold her."
Mrs. Fang also went out to work. She saw Qingmei surrounded by everyone and talking to a group of young girls. She was really happy for Qingmei.
Everyone chattered and soon arrived at the collective land in front of the dam.
The people who dug the canal had to be named. Chen Qiaoxiang's family had not been released yet, and Chen Han was not there, so the person who named them was replaced by Director Wang.
Qingmei was waiting in line when she heard someone in the next line say, "After all, Zhao Xiaoxing is still loyal. Even with the Li family falling into such a state of decline, she still served them faithfully. If it were any other young wife, they would have run away long ago."
"She never had enough to eat at the Li family's. I often saw her robbing bird nests and digging through tree crevices. She even took away the little food the magpies had saved for the winter. She was a pitiful person, after all."
"I just came over and saw Sun Xiufen. She was working for five minutes and then had to rest for ten. She used to have two daughters-in-law to take care of her, so she didn't have to do this kind of work. Now she can't even rely on her husband or son. Let's see how she'll show off in the future."
"How can you say Zhao Xiaoxing is sentimental? She has two paralyzed children. Tsk tsk, it's really unlucky to have such a family. If it were me, I definitely couldn't do it."
Qingmei curled her lips, completed the registration, and carried a shovel to the designated area to dig a canal.
Not far away is Sun Xiufen.
She was originally fifty years old, but now she looked seventy or eighty. Her hair was completely white, her back was not straight, and if she hit it with a hoe, her body would fall down like the hoe.
It’s not that Sun Xiufen can’t hear others praising Zhao Xiaoxing, she just has her own grievances to share.
The man in the family was working in the field next door. During lunch break, his wife brought the chubby girl to see her father. Sun Xiufen was extremely envious.
In the past, she looked down on families that had granddaughters, and always hoped to have a son to carry on the Li family line.
Who knew one of them would die and the other would be disabled, without even a granddaughter. Now he's staring at someone else's chubby little girl, he deserves it.
She had no one to bring her food, so she had to go back to eat.
I stumbled all the way back home, and the house was filled with the smell of meat.
Zhao Xiaoxing sat cross-legged on the kang with a plate of stewed pork belly and a bowl of bran porridge in front of her.
She cooked the white rice that Sun Xiufen had saved, and it became a big bowl of rice. It tasted especially delicious when eaten with the pork belly, which was both fat and lean.
She ate a few mouthfuls and heard Li Xianjin groaning with hunger, so she scooped up some bran paste with a spoon and stuffed it into Li Xianjin's mouth.
Bran was used to feed the collective pigs. It would make people's throats ache, so most people wouldn't eat it. Li Xianjin didn't want to eat it either. He just turned around and got angry, and then he got slapped in the face with a big mouth.
Bang!
Li Xianjin swallowed the bran paste with red eyes.
Sun Xiufen wiped her tears in pain and took a bowl of bran porridge to feed Li Laoer.
Li Laoer was not as sober as Li Xianjin. He opened his mouth and babbled but could not utter a word. He was completely finished.
Sun Xiufen thought that since both men in the family had passed away, even if the man in the Li family was disabled, he had to leave a descendant for the Li family. Otherwise, wouldn't the Li family really be extinct?
She forced herself to eat the bran porridge and casually fed Li Laoer a few mouthfuls. Then she went to the lower room and found the hidden salted duck eggs. She offered them to Zhao Xiaoxing in a flattering manner and said, "Here, have some good duck eggs, oozing with butter."
Zhao Xiaoxing cracked one open and found that it was really oozing with golden oil.
She didn't give any to anyone and peeled them all into the bowl herself. Then she heard Sun Xiufen humbly negotiating with her: "You and mother are both daughters-in-law of the Li family. We can't let the Li family die out."
Zhao Xiaoxing ate the salted duck egg expressionlessly. Seeing that she still had one in her hand, she snatched it away and put it in her pocket, intending to give it to Qingmei.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxing said calmly, "I did, but you didn't keep it."
Li Xianjin yelled out, "What? What did you say to keep?!"
Li Xianjin knew that his life was over, and he also thought that if he could have a child to support himself in the future, there would still be some hope for his family.
He spat out the bran he hadn't swallowed, and said through chattering teeth, "Can you tell me again?"
Zhao Xiaoxing slapped him again: "Speak properly and stop yelling."
Li Xianjin panted heavily and said with a suppressed voice, "What do you mean we didn't keep him?"
Zhao Xiaoxing finished the last bite of pork belly, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and measured the length with her finger. "Last week, when you said you wanted to divorce me, I aborted your son. He was only this big. It's a shame he's carrying your family's dirty blood."
Sun Xiufen took two steps back and leaned against the wall, holding her chest and gasping for breath. Her eyes were about to pop out of her head. She pointed at Zhao Xiaoxing and said, "You didn't go back to your mother's house? You, you aborted my grandson?!"
"Yes, I shed tears." Zhao Xiaoxing said, "If it weren't for your grandson, I wouldn't shed tears either."
Sun Xiufen was so angry that she fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.
Li Xianjin cursed loudly, and Zhao Xiaoxing calmly got down and went to take the spatula from the stove into the house: "I got my hands dirty by hitting them with my hands."
The room was suddenly filled with wailing, until Li Xianjin said in a tearful voice, "You are my grandmother, my good grandmother. It is the Li family that has wronged you. You are the best. I will say hello to everyone who comes to see you! Our Li family's blood is dirty, unworthy of continuing the family line!"
Sun Xiufen was awakened by her son's screams. She pinched her own philtrum and knelt on the ground to beg Zhao Xiaoxing. To her, Zhao Xiaoxing seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and had suddenly become a different person.
"Please, stop hitting my son, please stop!"
Zhao Xiaoxing said coldly, "You couldn't handle a couple of beatings? I married into your family and was beaten every three days, every five days. I was starving and had to serve your family for six years. How did I survive?"
Sun Xiufen pleaded, "Grandfather, please let my son go. He's already a disabled person. Please be magnanimous and forgive us."
Zhao Xiaoxing threw the spatula to the ground, patted her butt and said, "I'm going out to play. You wash the clothes and dishes. If they're not clean, I'll beat your son when I come back."
As soon as she left the house, the Li family burst into deafening cries.
Sun Xiufen and Li Xianjin hugged each other and cried bitterly. The Li family had no descendants. They had married two daughters-in-law, but there was no one left for them!
There was a sound of tumbling coming from Li Laoer's room. I don't know if he fell off the kang again.
It's over.
Zhao Xiaoxing walked out of the yard without looking back, thinking that such blood should not be passed on.
*** ***
Qingmei agreed to a blind date with Zhou Wu. After work today, Zhao Xiaoxing came to find her, and the two of them went to the county town together.
First they went to the post office, where Qingmei took the remittance slip from Hao Fan and received five yuan and sixty cents. This must have been Hao Fan's private money, which he had given her to buy new clothes and shoes so that she wouldn't be disliked when she met Zhou Wu.
Hao Fan didn't know about Zhou Wu's situation in Donghe Village yet. If he knew, he would probably be even more scared.
According to Qingmei and Zhao Wuhe's discussion, they should first keep Zhou Wu stable and wait for Gu Qingzhou to come back to discuss what to do. They didn't dare to call the police easily because they were afraid that Zhou Wu had been rampant in the village for so many years and had a protective umbrella outside. If they alerted the enemy, it would be difficult to eradicate him.
"That dress you wore just now was really beautiful. You have fair skin and you look like a fairy in it."
Zhao Xiaoxing said enviously, "It's just too expensive. But I've got the pattern down. Give me your dress and I'll alter it for you."
Seeing her always wearing men's coarse cloth clothes with patches on the cuffs and collar, Qingmei said with concern, "You have good craftsmanship. Why don't I buy some cotton cloth and you make us all a set?"
Zhao Xiaoxing exclaimed, "How much money does that cost? I'm telling you, you can't spend money recklessly. You don't realize it, but the moment you let go, the money slips away. You have to be frugal to save money. Listen to my sister-in-law, don't buy it for me, keep it for yourself."
"Once you get divorced, you won't be my sister-in-law anymore. It's better for us to be sisters than sisters-in-law."
Qingmei dragged Zhao Xiaoxing to the cloth shop. "Let's not buy anything expensive. You can have one and I can have one. It won't cost much with the cloth coupons. I also need to make spring clothes, so I'll consider this as money for your tailoring."
Zhao Xiaoxing refused to let Qingmei spend money: "I made clothes for you and asked for tailoring fees. Am I still a human being? I don't want it. Don't buy it for me. If you buy it for me, I will beat you up."
Qingmei wasn't afraid of her. It was hard to say who was stronger between the two of them. Qingmei dragged Zhao Xiaoxing into the cloth shop.
There are a lot of people in the cloth shop. Today they have Dacron and braid ready-made clothes, and young girls and wives are all scrambling to buy them.
Qingmei knew that although Dacron was fashionable, it was actually uncomfortable to wear, so she went to a corner with Zhao Xiaoxing to pick out cotton styles.
Zhao Xiaoxing was eager to get something cheap, for fear that Qingmei would spend money on her recklessly.
They each picked out a piece of cloth. When Qingmei paid and was about to leave, she met Zhong Anhua who came to buy cloth.
Zhong Anhua looked a little haggard as she walked into the room shoulder to shoulder with a young man.
Seeing Qingmei there, he said with disdain, "It's true that anyone can get in."
Qingmei's attention was not on her, but on the short-haired guy next to her.
The man with short stubble stood straight with his chin held high. The woman at the counter saw him and greeted him cordially, "Officer Jia, you're here. We've saved some new Dacron for you."
Zhong Anhua glanced at Qingmei and saw that she was dressed like a country girl, and the woman standing next to her also looked poor.
Zhong Anhua snorted, watching his date walk toward the counter. He sneered softly, "Don't envy me. He's just a platoon leader, no match for your Zhou Wu. When you marry Zhou Wu, good times are ahead. Just enjoy your life hanging on by a thread every day."
Zhao Xiaoxing was about to rush over to argue with Zhong Anhua, but Qingmei, contrary to her usual behavior, pulled Zhao Xiaoxing back and said, "Let's go."
Zhao Xiaoxing said, "What right does she have to say that about you?! Why don't you curse back?"
Qingmei could tell that Zhong Anhua was playing tricks on her, just like the last time he went to see Hao Fan. Qingmei would not bother with someone who was courting death.
The evil done by Zhong Anhua and her mother will be avenged upon them a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
Zhao Xiaoxing was annoyed by Qingmei all the way. She refused the roasted sweet potatoes Qingmei bought her and insisted on going back to beat Zhong Anhua.
Qingmei had no choice but to say, "It's not your turn to do it. You'll know later."
Zhao Xiaoxing said, "I don't know. How did you know?"
Qingmei thought, of course I know this from reading a book. But she couldn't say it, so she changed the subject and said, "Do you know that Aunt Gu and I have secret activities every night?"
Zhao Xiaoxing was indeed interested. Holding a hot roasted sweet potato, she asked, "What secret operation? Why didn't you call me?"
Qingmei leaned close to her ear and talked for a while, then added, "We've dug up all the other places, but the Li family's piece is still there."
Zhao Xiaoxing slapped her thigh and said, "Digging up the Li family's ancestral graves? I've wanted to do that for a long time!"
The two hit it off immediately and agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain at three in the morning.
Return to Donghe Village.
After arriving home, Zhao Xiaoxing measured Qingmei's figure and started cutting.
In the afternoon, Zhao Wuhe came to find Qingmei.
"He should be done with his work by now. Should we go give him a call?"
Zhao Wuhe was in high spirits when he was happy. He stuffed a piece of candy into Qingmei's mouth and said, "Here, sweetheart. If my son says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart."
Qingmei chuckled and said, "How could that be? At worst, I'll just treat him as my brother."
"No, no." Zhao Wuhe refused. She pulled Qingmei up and said to her grandmother, "We'll be back soon. You and Xiaoxing stay at home."
Although grandma is old, her hearing and eyesight are not blurry. Qingmei bought some red beans and planned to make bean curd dumplings tomorrow, so she helped to pick the beans.
"Go ahead, come back soon."
Qingmei held Zhao Wuhe's arm and the two of them went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a phone.
While the operator answered the phone, Zhao Wuhe looked at Qingmei's slightly red face, praying in her heart that Gu Qingzhou would not cause any trouble on the phone.
"Mom said last time, did Xiao Mu tell you?" When the call was connected, Zhao Wuhe first said to Gu Qingzhou: "Give me a definite answer."
Gu Qingzhou's performance surprised Zhao Wuhe. He agreed to meet without saying anything. "I'm just about to ask Commander Wang for leave. If you don't ask today, I'll call you tomorrow."
This kid is on the right track.
Zhao Wuhe grabbed the microphone and nodded to Qingmei: "It's possible."
Gu Qingzhou on the other end of the phone was very keenly aware that there was someone else next to Zhao Wuhe, so he said, "Is she here too?"
This she was referring to was naturally Qingmei.
Zhao Wuhe said, "Yes, I'll give her the phone number and you two can talk."
Qingmei's heart was about to jump out of her throat. She took the microphone and opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.
A deep and magnetic voice soon came from the phone: "Hello, my name is Gu Qingzhou, what should I call you?"
Gu Qingzhou's voice makes people feel unique charm and power. Just listening to his voice makes Qingmei feel safe and trusting.
This is the charm of being a soldier.
Qingmei grabbed the phone and whispered, "Hello, my name is Qingmei."
A delicate, soft and sweet voice reached his ears, and Gu Qingzhou tried to imagine what kind of person the other person should be.
She was scheming, good at releasing female hormones, etc. But I never thought she could be so pure and soft, with a sense of innocence.
"I've applied for leave on the 25th and 26th of this month. If that's okay, let's meet somewhere on the 25th?"
Gu Qingzhou's initiative was beyond Qingmei's expectations. She covered her heart, which was about to burst out, and said, "Okay."
A few seconds passed, and the only sounds on the line were the breathing and noise of the two people. After a while, Gu Qingzhou said, "I'm looking forward to seeing you. Are you meeting at my house?"
Qingmei pursed her lips and said, "Yes, my place is too small."
Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Okay."
The two of them stopped talking again.
Gu Qingzhou whispered, "Qingmei?"
Qingmei said "hmm": "It's me."
Gu Qingzhou said: "Then do you know who I am?"
Qingmei wondered: "Isn't it Gu Qingzhou?"
Gu Qingzhou said on the other end of the phone: "Thank you for taking care of me, Mom."
Qingmei whispered, "You're welcome, Auntie, you helped me a lot."
"Really?" Gu Qingzhou laughed softly on the other end of the phone: "I heard from my mom that there is something else to discuss when we meet?"
Qingmei tightened her grip on the receiver and said, "It's urgent. I can't explain it in a few words over the phone."
Gu Qingzhou paused for a few seconds on the other end of the phone: "Got it."
Qingmei said, "Goodbye then?"
Gu Qingzhou said calmly: "Okay, goodbye, Qingmei."
Zhao Wuhe pinched her thigh to prevent herself from laughing out loud. Her son always tried to do his best at the critical moment.
He said he didn't want to go on a blind date, but his attitude changed after he answered the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wuhe asked Qingmei, "How do you feel?"
Qingmei sighed softly and said, "It's fine..."
It would be fine if she hadn't seen him before, as Gu Qingzhou's photo was still in her pocket. She still remembered that Gu Qingzhou was the most popular male lead, with an irresistible personal charm that really made her nervous.
"That would be great."
Zhao Wuhe took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was the phone number of Zhou Wujia Village.
She said seriously, "I'll fight for you. See my son on the 25th to discuss it, and get him on the 26th, right?"
Qingmei said, "Let me beat him, so he won't get suspicious."
Qingmei dialed the number, the call was connected quickly, and asked Qingmei's name.
Qingmei asked the other party to tell Zhou Wu about the meeting on the 26th, and then hung up the phone.
After leaving the brigade headquarters, the two walked home.
"We'll definitely finish digging it out before the 25th." Zhao Wuhe took Qingmei's arm. Seeing that she looked okay, he looked around and said, "I just don't know if Hao Fan will give you your mother's belongings if he finds out you're using him."
"My mother died when I was born. I grew up with my grandmother. Although I miss her, I have to move on. If my mother knew that I was forced to marry a scumbag by her legacy, she would definitely be sad."
Qingmei sighed softly and said, "Hao Fan threatened Zhou Wu with the relic because he wanted to stabilize him and prevent him from thinking of other ways. If he can really give it to me, that would be great. If not... I won't force it."
Zhao Wuhe patted Qingmei's hand and took Qingmei to the supply and marketing cooperative to weigh half a pound of melon seeds. When he returned home, he saw Zhao Xiaoxing measuring the circumference of her grandmother's head.
Seeing them come back, the grandmother said happily, "The child said that the dew is heavy at night in early spring and she is worried that I will have a headache, so she wants to make me a forehead band."
Seeing Qingmei coming back with a flushed face, Zhao Xiaoxing ran from the head of the kang to the end, squatting and gossiping, "Did you get on the phone with her? What did you talk about? When are we meeting? Is she easy to talk to?"
Qingmei pushed her and whispered, "Why are you asking so many questions? It's just an appointment to meet."
Zhao Xiaoxing squatted by the kang and watched Qingmei take off her cotton-padded jacket. She helped hang it on the wall and said in a frivolous way, "What does she look like? Don't you have a photo? Can you give me a hug and take a look?"
Qingmei took out the photo and uncovered the handkerchief in front of them.
Zhao Wuhe saw this and felt that Qingmei cared too much about her son and even treasured his photo so much.
Qingmei tilted her head and looked out the window. Seeing that nothing was wrong, she handed the photo to Zhao Xiaoxing.
Zhao Xiaoxing held the photo and exclaimed, "What a handsome man! He's obviously tall. Oh my God, is he getting married for the first time?"
Zhao Wuhe said proudly: "What are you thinking? My son is 1.2 meters tall and he's getting married for the first time!"
Zhao Xiaoxing pointed at Gu Qingzhou's photo and said, "There's no belly here at all. It must be different from that loser in my family. I heard that men who have practiced have firm stomachs."
Qingmei was amused by her: "It's not a hard belly, it's abdominal muscles. A guy like him should have several abdominal muscles."
"What is that thing? Is it really hard?" Zhao Xiaoxing said, "We have such a good relationship, so let me touch it when the time comes."
"ah?"
"Is that something you can touch?"
Without waiting for Qingmei to react, Zhao Wuhe climbed onto the kang and pretended to strangle Zhao Xiaoxing.
Zhao Xiaoxing laughed so hard that Qingmei realized that she was teasing her on purpose.
Zhao Xiaoxing laughed so hard that she hiccupped. She pointed at Qingmei and said, "Look at your face just now. Hahaha, it really made me laugh to death. I was just teasing you. I never want to touch a man in my life."
Qingmei never thought that one day she would be bullied by Zhao Xiaoxing. She also climbed onto the kang, and Zhao Wuhe and she pinched her on both sides and tickled her: "You'll make me laugh! You'll laugh enough!"
Zhao Xiaoxing rolled around on the kang, laughing so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.
Finally, she let go of her hand and leaned against the wall with her hair disheveled. "I don't blame you for being stingy. This face is just charming."
Qingmei was about to pin her down and tickle her again, but Zhao Wuhe said, "Wait until you get divorced, and I'll find you a suitable one. Then you can both marry into the army and keep each other company."
Zhao Xiaoxing stood up and said, "Forget it. I know what I'm like. Besides, things are pretty good now. I have the final say in the Li family. Honestly, I don't need a divorce even if things are going on like this."
"You've got great potential." Qingmei sat behind Zhao Xiaoxing and helped her re-braid her hair.
Zhao Xiaoxing thought for a moment and said, "I've definitely made some progress. I was just joking. I can't wait to get out of there. Seeing the Li family every day makes me sick."
Zhao Wuhe smiled and said, "I've let you finish what you're saying."
Zhao Xiaoxing chuckled, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to live the good life I have now in the future."
Qingmei helped her braid her hair, then put her arms around her neck from behind and said, "What are you thinking about? Our good days are all ahead of us. You didn't think about anything before, but now that life is better, why do you think so much?"
Zhao Xiaoxing thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Let's take it one day at a time. Things will work out in the end."
She looked at Qingmei and said, "Anyway, I have you to give me advice from now on. I'm not afraid of anything. I'm relying on you."
Qingmei smiled and said, "It's better to rely on me than on others."
"That's right, we have nothing in common." Zhao Xiaoxing joked again, "Will you let me touch you?"
"You've learned bad habits and are teasing me again." Qingmei stood up and wanted to hit her.
Zhao Xiaoxing wanted to hide behind her grandmother, but her grandmother stopped her: "Granddaughter, beat her up! Beat her up and she will stop touching your partner."
Everyone in the room laughed. Qingmei blushed and said, "We haven't even started dating yet, and we're already meeting."
Zhao Wuhe said with a smile: "I have confidence in my son."
*** ***
014 Unit, office building.
Gu Qingzhou came down from upstairs and was going to ask Commander Wang for leave, but Commander Wang had already gone home after get off work.
Gu Qingzhou had to go on a business trip tomorrow, so he simply took the approval note and went to the staff quarters to find the division commander.
Mu Ran trotted over and sighed, "Old Gu, Old Gu, you've finally come to this. I heard you agreed to go on a blind date with that young widow."
"Who? Who's going on a blind date with a young widow?!" Bao Mi got out of the jeep and said in shock, "Chief! You've fallen!"
Gu Qingzhou frowned and said, "Keep your voice down."
Only then did Bao Mi realize that he was surrounded by cadres who were leaving get off work.
Everyone walked past them as if they hadn't heard anything. Only Gu Qingzhou could sense some of their slightly unconcealed gazes.
Mu Ran was also keenly aware of these gazes. He patted Gu Qingzhou on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "You will be the top news in the military region tomorrow."
Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When you come out of the military area and walk towards the family compound, you will pass by the auditorium.
Inside, female soldiers from the art troupe were practicing a dance routine. Suddenly, one of them called out, "It's Captain Gu! He's coming our way."
Comrade Gu Qingzhou, the military region's number one bachelor and the top candidate for marriage among unmarried female comrades, walked past the auditorium window without looking around.
Mu Ran nodded to two or three female soldiers he knew behind him. They were leaning on the window, staring at Gu Qingzhou without blinking.
Seeing him about to leave her sight, Lu Xin, the lead dancer of the art troupe, suddenly called out, "Captain Gu, wait!"
As she said this, she was about to jump out of the window.
Mu Ran called out to Gu Qingzhou, then turned and said to Lu Xin, "Don't jump, don't jump. If you have something to say, just talk here. I can hear you."
When Lu Xin saw Gu Qingzhou stop and turn around, she squatted on the windowsill and said with a smile: "There is a performance on Women's Day, come and see it!"
Gu Qingzhou said calmly: "Watching a performance? Am I a bitch?"
Lu Xin, Mu Ran, and others: "..."
How to continue with this?
Fortunately, Gu Qingzhou didn't mean it, nor did he think it was an insult. He just thought that women should celebrate their own festival, and it would be inappropriate for him to go.
He asked Lu Xin calmly, "Anything else?"
Lu Xin said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you trying to do?"
Gu Qingzhou said, "Go to Commander Wang to get leave."
Lu Xin tilted his head and said, "Why do you need to approve leave?"
Gu Qingzhou said: "Blind date."
Lu Xin felt terrible and tightened her grip on the window frame: "Blind date?"
Gu Qingzhou knew that he would definitely ask, so he added considerately: "A blind date with a widowed lesbian."
"Widowed?!"
"Um, is there a problem?"
Lu Xin was stunned: "No."
Gu Qingzhou turned around and walked away with big strides.
Mu Ran ran over and scolded his brother: "That's Lu Xin, the leader of the art troupe, who even performed for high-ranking officials in Beijing."
Gu Qingzhou said: "Does it have anything to do with me?"
Mu Ran paused: "Not yet."
Gu Qingzhou said: "There won't be any in the future."
Mu Ran smiled and said, "So you know she's interested in you."
Gu Qingzhou said: "I have sharp eyes."
In front of his brothers, Gu Qingzhou was obviously more gentle, and said with a smile on his face: "Rejecting in time is the greatest respect."
Mu Ran exposed his past and said, "Then why are you going on a blind date with a 'widowed lesbian'? I don't think you'd be attracted to her. Could it be that you're the same scammer you met in Shanghai last time? Are you willing to take such a risk?"
"Yes." Gu Qingzhou said confidently: "Catch her."
“…”
Mu Ran had a bad premonition, which was very mysterious. Every time he had this premonition, they would always have some trouble when carrying out their mission.
This time he felt that it was not only a nuisance, but also very serious.
He couldn't help but remind her, "Don't let the little widow catch you."
Gu Qingzhou chuckled: "Impossible."
Absolutely not.
