She deliberately frowned, "Didn't you give me all your salary? Where did you get the money to buy this and that?"
His expression suddenly changed, "I have made a contribution... and received the reward."
After saying that, he took out the remaining money from his pocket and handed it to her. Seeing that her eyes were still red, he clumsily wiped her tears with his other hand.
The money in his hand was really not much for her, but she still took it and let his rough fingers caress the corners of her eyes.
"What else?" She held out her hand.
His eyes were blank, "Gone." All the money was given to her.
Lin Qingping glanced at him sideways, "The box you just gave me, you're planning to take it back? You didn't give it to me sincerely, did you?"
This is really unfair to him, but when has Lin Qingping ever been reasonable?
He denied it repeatedly and handed her the gift box. It was so small that Lin Qingping had no idea what it was.
She took it in her hand and opened it. Under the night sky, the things in the box shone brightly with gold.
It turned out to be a gold necklace.
She looked closely and found that it was a time-honored brand in the capital.
"When did you buy it?" Didn't he come out for two months? This old brand seems to be mainly made to order, that is, the old gold craftsman makes it now, and you have to order it in advance.
"I couldn't get out, so I asked Wu Tianping to order it for me. I went to pick it up this afternoon."
Lin Qingping snorted, "What if I go to celebrate my birthday with someone else today? What are you going to do with this necklace?"
He was silent.
"Gu Juncheng, don't lie to me!" She warned first.
"Let my elder sister give it to you." He said honestly.
Lin Qingping was angry and speechless.
What made me angry was that it turned out that he had really made a plan. If she was with someone else, he would let her go. It turned out that this was what he meant by "I gave you a chance".
"Gu Juncheng! Do you have so little confidence in me?" She glared at him.
He looked into her bright eyes and for the first time said what was in his heart, "I have no confidence in myself."
Lin Qingping suddenly realized something: He had no confidence in himself! Was it because he was not a man that he had no confidence?
She was a little annoyed. How could she have ignored this matter? Moreover, he didn't come home for the past two months, and she couldn't make soup for him according to the recipe given by her mother-in-law...
Gu Juncheng looked at her with eyes that changed eight hundred times in one second. He felt a little strange. Then he saw her holding his arm and said with concern, "Gu Juncheng, don't think like that. I care about you, Gu Juncheng, not anything else. As long as you are a good person and treat me well, nothing else matters."
Gu Juncheng's heart was gradually filled with emotion. He rarely revealed his thoughts, with worry in his eyes, "You are all very young and full of vitality. I..."
Lin Qingping didn't like to hear this!
She interrupted him immediately, "Gu Juncheng, are you looking down on me by saying this? Am I the kind of person who only knows low-level interests? I value the integrity of character, the similarity of interests, and the harmony of souls more!"
Other things… at least he is very strong. Even if he doesn’t take medicine in the future, he can’t do it often… and he doesn’t have to do it often, since he is not at home most of the time anyway.
"So, Lin Qingping, I gave you a chance, you can't regret it anymore." He held her hand.
Of course she won't regret it!
She handed him the necklace, "Put it on me!"
Gu Juncheng followed his instructions and put it on her.
Lin Qingping turned around and asked him conceitedly, "Does it look good?"
He smiled and nodded, "It looks good."
Lin Qingping snorted, "Fortunately you didn't just say that if you saw me celebrating my birthday with someone else, you would give it to someone else! I'm telling you, Gu Juncheng! You can only give me gifts in this life!"
At that moment, the lights on the long street were reflected in his dark eyes, shining brighter than the stars.
He got on the bicycle and said softly, "Get on."
Lin Qingping jumped onto the back seat and hugged his waist.
It's April now, and the cold wind no longer blows on my face.
The wind was warm, bringing the scent of flowers from somewhere, and the air was sickly sweet.
The gold necklace was against Lin Qingping's neck, feeling slightly cool.
Suddenly, she remembered that she had asked Gu Juncheng for a gold necklace in her previous life.
That was the last year of her marriage to him, and it happened shortly after her birthday.
She was not satisfied with the birthday gift he sent her. When she saw some of the young ladies in the county town wearing gold necklaces and showing off in front of her, she was very angry and immediately sent a telegram to Gu Juncheng, asking him to buy her a gold necklace.
This was the only thing that Gu Juncheng had not done for her in her previous life - because, not long after she sent this telegram, he died...
She did not receive the gold necklace he sent her, but what she got was his relic.
Later, throughout her life, she bought gold necklaces for many people, including her mother, sister-in-law, niece, and friends...
Everyone has received the gold necklace from her, except herself, who has never worn it.
No one bought any for her. Most importantly, it seemed as if fate had ruled her to avoid these three words all her life. She even never wore any gold jewelry in her life. Even when she became financially independent later on, she only wore jade.
After a lifetime, he finally put the gold necklace on her...
She hugged him, her face against his back, and for some reason, her tears wet his clothes.
Gu Juncheng, thank fate for letting me find you again.
Gu Juncheng originally wanted to take her out to eat something, but Lin Qingping thought about Zhiyuan and Xiaomai at home, so she let him go home.
However, she packed a roast duck on the way and went to the vegetable market near her home. She happened to meet someone selling fresh mutton. With Gu Juncheng as her laborer, she bought half a duck and a large piece of beef, as well as potatoes and other vegetables. She loaded some on the bicycle and Gu Juncheng carried some, and the two of them walked back home.
Zhiyuan is really a well-behaved boy. When he and his second sister have to go to school and eldest sister Zhao and Gu Youlian are looking after the store, he takes his sister to play at home and is even willing to play hopscotch and hopscotch with her.
When she and Gu Juncheng came back, he was playing jump rope with Xiaomai in the yard. One end of the rope was tied to a tree and the other end was put around Zhiyuan's leg. Xiaomai was sweating profusely from jumping.
Seeing them come back, the two children were very happy and helped to move the vegetables.
"How about we have a barbecue today?" Lin Qingping asked enthusiastically.
Zhiyuan and Xiaomai had never eaten it before and were very excited. Gu Juncheng had had experience of camping during outdoor training and had grilled food, but it was far from a proper barbecue.
He was not particular about food, he could eat anything, he could eat two large bowls of anything, but she wanted to eat, what else could he say? Moreover, she was especially good at eating.
Gu Juncheng followed her "instructions" to separate the mutton, marinate the lamb chops and lamb legs, skewer the mutton, cut the beef into small pieces and skewer them, slice the potatoes and blood sausage, wash the leeks and other vegetables, and put the rice cakes on a plate...
Then move them all into the yard.
