Chapter 44 I will wait for you to grow up

Yuan Xiao met Gu Lanting again at He Changlin's house.

She had just got some tea leaves, but they were not easy to sell on the black market. A can cost 30 yuan, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So she thought about giving it to old lady He to try, and she ran into Gu Lanting here.

Although He Changlin had never met Yuan Xiao, he knew that she was the girl who saved his wife, and he was grateful and admired her.

He knew that his mother often went to the black market, but Zhou Fanghuai had a bad look a while ago and couldn't eat anything. But the tea her mother bought from the black market tasted delicious, so she turned a blind eye.

Old lady He didn't like tea leaves, but He Changlin happened to like it, so she took a can to try.

As soon as he opened the lid, he exclaimed: "Fresh and elegant, this taste is good tea! Did you really make it yourself?"

He Changlin was not as tall as Gu Lanting, but he was also 1.8 meters tall. He had the same elegant aura of a scholar as Chu Jiangping, and his sharp eyes were hidden under gold-rimmed glasses.

But he has been in a high position for many years, and even if he is gentle, he will give people a sense of oppression.

Yuan Xiao was not afraid, and she didn't need to lie. She smiled and said, "I collected the tea leaves from the mountains, and my family made it."

He Changlin suddenly frowned, leaned back in his chair, and stared at her, "Speculation is not a good thing!"

Yuan Xiao laughed, "I just came to the house to give the old lady tea to taste, how can it be considered speculation?"

He Changlin couldn't hold it back and pointed at her with his finger in the air.

Although he was only a small clerk, he was on good terms with many people in the capital and was well-informed.

The higher-ups were willing to open up their policies, so they turned a blind eye to the black market.

Occasionally, someone would report it and someone from the office would symbolically go to raid it.

But Yuan Xiao's selling was still not legitimate.

Thinking of this, He Changlin thought for a while and said, "How is your tea selling?"

Yuan Xiao's face fell, "It's too expensive. Few people in our county can afford such expensive tea."

He Changlin thought, that was because he didn't sell it well.

Yes, if the He family was not wealthy, he really couldn't afford such expensive tea with his salary.

"I can introduce you to the director of the tea factory, what do you think?"

He Changlin wanted to help Yuan Xiao so that she could sell this product legitimately.

Yuan Xiao was overjoyed, and it could be said that she was flattered. It turned out that today was not in vain!

"Then thank you for your help. I'm just thinking about how to sell it!"

Zhou Fang walked out of the room with a bulging belly, and her face was still tired. As soon as she came out, she heard Yuan Xiao thanking her.

She said angrily, "What are you thanking me for? It's just a small matter."

After that, she frowned at He Changlin again, "Xiaoxiao is still a little girl, don't scare her."

Yuan Xiao was only 18 years old. If she and He Changlin had a child earlier, they would be as old as Yuan Xiao.

He Changlin stood up with a smile, helped her sit down, and said helplessly: "How dare I."

Yuan Xiao gave them some more things, then patted

his butt and left. Seeing that she was leaving, Gu Lanting also nodded to He Changlin, stood up and left. He Changlin

didn't care about his daughter's family, but Zhou Fang was more sensitive, staring at Gu Lanting's back with a slightly meaningful look.

"Lanting is not going to go back yet?"

Gu Changlin sighed, "When the time comes, you have to go back."

"He is 24 this year, right?" Zhou Fang sighed in her heart, Yuan Xiao is only 18.

She felt like a cabbage being eaten by a pig.

He Changlin didn't notice what his wife was thinking, and nodded, "It's only a few months away from 24."

Zhou Fang sighed at her age, and then thought of Gu Lanting's family in the capital.

She frowned unconsciously. Yuan Xiao was from the countryside. If she really got together with Gu Lanting, she would be opposed, right?

Yuan Xiao didn't know that Zhou Fang had already arranged a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama for her before she and Gu Lanting even started dating.

She left, and Gu Lanting followed.

She was short and walked slowly, so Gu Lanting caught up with her in a few strides. "The college entrance examination materials you asked for are here."

Yuan Xiao stopped and stared at him with sparkling eyes. "Where are they? I'll take them with you!"

Although she was confident in her learning ability, she also wanted to review earlier.

Gu Lanting didn't directly say where they were, but lowered his voice: "Maybe I have to resume the college entrance examination."

Yuan Xiao paused, and immediately pretended to be surprised and happy, "Really? Then my luck is simply too good!"

Gu Lanting:... Do you dare to be a little more fake?

But Gu Lanting didn't ask her how she knew, and he wouldn't ask if Yuan Xiao didn't tell him.

"Yuan Xiao, if you take the college entrance examination, which school will you apply to?"

His eyes were dark, with a deep light, looking at Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao only looked at him for a moment, then felt inexplicably flustered and looked away.

"I don't know either. If my grades are good, I want to go to the school in Beijing."

Gu Lanting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes became more determined, and the blood in his body seemed to be ignited by Yuan Xiao's words, swelling and boiling in his blood vessels.

After learning about Yuan Xiao's future direction, he seemed to have found his goal again.

"When you get into college, I will also return to Beijing."

Yuan Xiao's scalp was tingling under his burning gaze, and his thoughts were a little confused for a while. He didn't know why he said this to him, so he said "oh".

Gu Lanting didn't get the response he wanted, and felt a little disappointed, so he took a step forward.

His body temperature was high, and even at a distance, Yuan Xiao could feel the heat from his body, and his cheeks were burned red.

"Yuan Xiao, I..."

He pursed his lips, not knowing how to start.

He was too inexperienced in this regard.

Yuan Xiao saw a rare look of embarrassment on his usually cold face. It was as if a door opened in her heart, and she instantly understood what he wanted to say.

She hurriedly took a step back, "I just want to make money and study hard right now, I don't want anything else!"

Gu Lanting's whole body was stiff, as if he couldn't move.

Suddenly he felt that he was such a poor man, and he didn't say anything yet!

Gu Lanting stroked his rough fingers, and his deep eyes grasped Yuan Xiao's little face, and he didn't move his eyes away for a long time.

She was getting paler and paler, and her eyes were big. When she stared at people, she could make people's bones melt.

When he found out that he had feelings for Yuan Xiao, he regretted it.

It's not that he regretted not liking Yuan Xiao at the beginning, feelings are uncontrollable.

But he regretted not getting to know the girl in front of him well.

He squeezed his legs together, pulled in his stomach and hips, held his head high and chest puffed out, his tall figure looked majestic.

"Gu Lanting, a professional soldier, will be 24 years old in September, native to Beijing, an only child. I dedicate all my loyalty to my country, and such loyalty will also belong to my future wife. Yuanxiao, I will wait for you to grow up."

After saying this, he saluted and turned to leave.

Yuanxiao would be lying if she said she was not shocked.

In her previous life, she grew up with her grandfather, and once encountered a fire on the floor and was trapped at home.

It was the firefighter uncle who saved her and her grandfather.

She has a mysterious liking for soldiers.

They defend their homes and their country with iron bones. Such loyalty and iron blood make people starry eyes at the thought.

She patted her red cheeks to calm herself down.

So why did Gu Lanting mention that she would only turn 24 in September?
