"Very good. This is my wife Song Zhi, you may not have met her. This is my former comrade-in-arms, Zhang Yan." Gu Huaijin put the package in Song Zhi's hand into the car, and then introduced her to the two people.
Song Zhi smiled politely and said, "Hello."
"Hello, my sister-in-law and I finally meet. You two should get in the car quickly. It's very cold outside." Zhang Yan greeted the two people.
"Uncle Gu has been talking about it these days. He must want you to come back. So, do you really plan to stay in the Northwest?" Zhang Yan didn't understand his behavior. He was living well in Kyoto, so why did he have to run away? Although he did have some psychological barriers now, it would be the same no matter where he changed to a clerical job. Why not stay in Jingdong and be comfortable? Besides, everyone was in Kyoto, and he was the only one who ran to the Northwest.
"I'm staying in the northwest for the time being. I can't say for sure what will happen in the future." Gu Huaijin didn't dare to guarantee what would happen in the future, but the most important thing now was to do the things in front of him well.
"Alas, you are too opinionated. Xiao Song, you have to keep an eye on him, otherwise he might become even more arrogant in the future." Although this was said in a joking manner, it was more of an advice. After all, he was the younger brother whom he had seen grow up. He had first-class abilities, but after experiencing that incident, his self-confidence might not be very strong.
"Brother Zhang is right. We should pay more attention to him in the future, otherwise he will make another explosive decision for you one day." Song Zhi glanced at Gu Huaijin and said solemnly.
Gu Huaijin looked at her serious expression and wanted to pinch her face. She looked like a child wearing adult clothes, which was neither fish nor fowl and a little funny.
"Hahaha, my sister-in-law has a good temper and is straightforward. Huaijin, you are really lucky." Zhang Yan was driving and looked at the rearview mirror. At a glance, he saw the two of them looking at each other affectionately. He thought that rumors were really harmful. It turned out that everyone was saying that my sister-in-law was sticking to Huaijin, but he didn't see that. It was obvious that the two of them had feelings for each other.
"I am indeed very lucky."
Zhang Yan almost slammed on the brakes when he heard this, his face full of shock. He couldn't believe Gu Huaijin could say such a thing. He had always been mature and taciturn since he was a child, and looked very serious, never even making a joke.
Now he's so narcissistic, is this the power of love? It can change a person's personality, but Zhang Yan is a little uncomfortable with this change.
After hearing what he said, Song Zhi twisted his lower back with her hands in the corner, but the flesh on his waist was hard and could not be twisted at all. She could only glare at him fiercely, reminding him not to talk nonsense and to shut up if he didn't know how to speak. This idiot, in front of outsiders, said all kinds of things... Song Zhi would blush easily when she was embarrassed or nervous. Gu Huaijin discovered this characteristic of hers a long time ago.
Seeing her face flushed at this moment, he didn't care that there was someone in front of him and raised his hand to pinch her face. He had wanted to do this on the train.
Song Zhi didn't react for a moment when he saw the hand he stretched out, and knew what he was going to do. As a result... Song Zhi hurriedly slapped his hand away, but he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
I could only whisper angrily in his ear: "Behave yourself."
Why didn't I notice he was so clingy and restless before? Song Zhi turned his head away angrily, not wanting to pay any more attention to him.
Gu Huaijin knew that if he coaxed her at this time, she would get even angrier, and she would feel embarrassed when there were people around, so he just held her hand gently, and their fingers were intertwined. Song Zhi didn't struggle to break free.
The two of them walked along the way without saying a word and arrived home safely.
Zhang Yan helped him unload the luggage and bring it into the house. Without staying any longer, he hurriedly prepared to go home. Seeing his anxious look, Gu Huaijin knew that there were a lot of things to do during the New Year and he might be very busy, so he did not stay long.
He gestured to Song Zhi to take out some local specialties from the package and handed them to Zhang Yan who was about to drive away.
"You can keep it for yourselves. Why are you being so polite?" Zhang Yan was a little angry when he saw the food in front of him. There was no need to be so polite between friends.
"I brought back a lot, and I wanted to share some with you. It just so happens that you're here." Gu Huaijin has been missing his comrades-in-arms during the past few months he's been away, so naturally he wants to visit them when he comes back.
After hearing what Gu Huaijin said, Zhang Yan didn't refuse much. They were all quick-witted people. He said, "Thank you very much. When you have time, come to my house and ask my sister-in-law to cook us a meal."
Gu Huaijin nodded to accept the invitation.
Jiang Nan started preparing at home early. Although her son has been a quiet man and rarely shows his emotions since he was a child, she clearly noticed that there was something unusual about her son when she called him a few days ago.
When I saw the affection in the eyes of the young couple Gu Huaijin and Song Zhi when they looked at each other, which was completely different from the way they got along when they just left, I knew that their relationship had improved during this trip to the Northwest.
"Drink a glass of water to warm yourself up. Auntie is cooking." Jiang Nan poured a glass of water and handed it to Song Zhi. Now that Song's mother left, Jiang Nan found another aunt in his hometown. Jiang Nan's cooking skills were originally very poor, and she had never done any cooking and had never even learned to cook. After Song's mother left, the family must arrange a new aunt, otherwise it might be difficult for the family to even have a meal.
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Song Zhi took the cup of water with both hands and took a sip to relieve the dryness of his lips.
Gu Huaijin also entered the old house, looked around and asked, "Where is my dad?"
"Your father has a meeting today, and he can't have a day off until after it's over." Jiang Nan glanced at his daughter-in-law's face, worried that she would feel resentful because her father Gu was not at home.
Song Zhi didn't think too much about it. He knew from his memory that Father Gu was very busy every day. Besides, they would stay at home for several days and they would meet sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.
Gu Huaijin nodded, looked at the dusty appearance, then looked at Song Zhi who was sitting next to Jiang's mother with his hands and feet tied, and said after a moment of silence: "Zhizhi, go upstairs and wash up first?"
Song Zhi looked up at him, his eyes seemed to say okay, okay.
"Then you go upstairs and wash up first. The meal will take a while to prepare. The sheets and quilt covers in the room have just been changed today. They have been washed and dried, so you can use them directly." Jiang Nan didn't pay attention to the quarrel between the two of them, and gave instructions very carefully.
