Wu Tianping burst into laughter, covered his stomach, pointed at Gu Juncheng, and limped away.
Gu Juncheng: …
doctor:……
In order to let the two talk alone, Lin Qingping walked to the small courtyard outside the hospital building.
There is a persimmon tree in the yard. It bears fruit, but the fruit falls off, leaving the entire tree bare.
When Xiaotian came to the hospital, she stood under the persimmon tree and stopped Xiaotian from going in, "Your Captain Gu is talking to Captain Wu!"
"Oh!" Oda stood obediently with her under the persimmon tree.
Lin Qingping chatted with Xiaotian, and Xiaotian looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, you are different from the legend."
"What? Have you heard of my legend?" Lin Qingping said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Xiaotian nodded. "The last time I went back to the village, I accompanied the captain. After sending the captain home, I went back to my own home."
"The last time you went home?" Lin Qingping remembered that it was when she had just been reborn.
"Yes, in the summer!"
That was when she just came back...
"Then why don't you eat?" Lin Qingping looked at him as if he were a junior.
Xiao Tian was not sure what to say. He didn't dare to go to the captain's house because he heard a lot of bad things about his sister-in-law. She was lazy and fierce, and she was not good to Gu's family. Think about it, if she was not good to the captain's family, how could she be good to him? He decided not to cause trouble for the captain.
"Who said that about me?" In fact, this question was quite useless. I was afraid that everyone in Gujia Village would say bad things about her.
Unexpectedly, Oda hesitated and refused to say anything.
Lin Qingping guessed it immediately. There was only one person who couldn't say it: Chen Xia.
"Is it Chen Xia?" she asked directly.
Oda looked at her in surprise, as if asking, "How did you know?"
Lin Qingping was not interested in what Chen Xia said about her, but since she was talking about this person, she was curious about another thing, "Xiaotian, when Chen Xia broke off the engagement with your leader, were you there?"
Oda Takeshi nodded, "I was here! I was right next to the leader at the time!"
"At that time? When was that time?" Did they break off the engagement face to face in the village? She had never paid attention to these things in her previous life.
"The captain received a letter from home telling him that the engagement was cancelled. I was beside him when he read the letter." Oda frowned, feeling distressed for the captain. "It was winter then. The captain burned the letter and stayed on the top of the mountain in the wind for half a night. Later, he stayed in the wind for several nights in a row."
Lin Qingping listened and smiled slightly.
She didn't know what he felt when he was blowing in the wind on the top of the mountain. She only knew that at this moment, the cold wind blew into her eyes, stinging her eyes and making them hurt. The wind also kept drilling into her heart, making her heart feel sore and painful somewhere.
It is indeed not easy to let go of the emotions of youth...
"What happened next?" she asked again.
"What happened later?" Xiaotian recalled. "It was the winter of the following year. The regiment commander's family sent another letter. I don't know what was written in it. Then the regiment commander stayed out for several nights. Later, he reported to the army that he wanted to get married. In other words, he married you, my sister-in-law."
Lin Qingping nodded. Yes, she and Gu Juncheng did get married in winter. It seemed that one year after the engagement was cancelled, the Gu family decided to marry him and wrote to him. Then, he didn't even go back to see what she looked like or whether she suited his taste, but directly reported to the army.
She understands this feeling.
In the online novels that emerged in the following decades, this kind of marriage should be described as "except for her, everyone else is the same", so after the tragic loss of his childhood sweetheart, he followed his family's choice and married a woman he had never even met, "whomever he married would be the same"...
As for why the Gu family chose her, it is easy to understand.
She had a good reputation before she got married. Her appearance was outstanding in the area. She was efficient at housework, filial to her parents and loving to her younger brother. These were all traits that made a girl in the village easy to marry.
However, the Gu family never expected that after marrying her home, she would become a completely different person and act like a spoiled child...
As for him, she objectively evaluated him as a good man, and a responsible good man. Since he married her, he must take responsibility for her, so that's why all the things happened later.
But where is his heart?
I don’t know if she can get it in this lifetime…
Lin Qingping tried to keep her eyes open in the wind, trying not to let the pain bring out tears, and also tried to smile. She said to Xiaotian, "Let's go in. They should have finished talking."
She turned around quickly, just to wipe away the moisture in her eyes without Xiaotian seeing her...
I quickly returned to the ward and found that Wu Tianping had indeed passed away.
Lin Qingping pretended nothing had happened and took care of Gu Juncheng as usual. When she had nothing to do, she sat beside him and drew designs.
Oda was still responsible for some physically demanding work and had delivered lunch and dinner to them.
After a busy day, Lin Qingping turned off the lights early and took a rest.
In the darkness, Gu Juncheng's voice sounded again, "Lin Qingping, you seem to be acting strange these past two days? What happened?"
"No, really not. I was just wondering how Zhiyuan and my second sister are doing in their studies. I also want my second sister to take the college entrance examination. It's only a few months away after the New Year." She made up a story.
"Since you're worried, then go back. You're not needed here anyway. Oda is here."
Lin Qingping sat up suddenly and looked at the place where he was lying in the darkness.
