Liu Xiaocao looked at the boss's appearance and said with a pout, "What's wrong with me? Just wait for my good news tomorrow."
"Come on, forget it. I'm not giving you this good news. I feel bad just looking at you every day, let alone my parents." Seeing his confident look, Gu Minghe couldn't help but want to hit him.
"I won't talk to you anymore, go to sleep, go to sleep." Liu Xiaocao was very angry when she heard the man talking, so she lay on the kang and covered herself with the quilt.
"If you can't argue with me, then just say it. If you can't argue with me, then you're still sleeping. How can you get so much sleep in the broad daylight?" After saying this, Gu Minghe also closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
On the other hand, Gu Mingze was told by his wife that he would think about how his mother fell down every night when he went to bed.
When I went to work the next day, I sent a telegram home, asking them to reply as soon as possible.
Then after returning to the office to handle his business, he walked around the room.
"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?" Lin Zhongguo passed by Gu Mingze's office and saw people walking around in the room. He stood at the door and asked.
"Hello, Captain." Gu Mingze heard the noise and immediately stood up and saluted.
"Don't do those useless things. Tell me quickly. Is there something wrong?" Lin Zhongguo waved his hand and walked into the house and said.
"It's like this, Captain. My second brother called me a few days ago and said my mother was paralyzed. I told them to send her to the city for a checkup, but no one has come to see me. I'm so worried." Gu Mingze told the captain what was on his mind when he heard his question.
When Lin Zhongguo heard about this, he touched his chin and said, "How about this, I'll find someone to give you some time off, and you can go back to your hometown to have a look, but when you come back, you won't have any leave this year."
When Gu Mingze heard this, he was delighted at first, then shook his head and said, "No need. It's raining heavily now, the troops have no water, and there's no food being transported in from outside. It's definitely not possible for me to leave now."
"It's okay. It's such a big army. I can't get away without you. What's wrong?" Lin Zhongguo said. Seeing that he was still hesitating, he asked in a deep voice: "Just tell me whether you are going back or not. Give me a straight answer."
"Yes." Gu Mingze replied without hesitation.
"That's it. I'll give you a day off now. Go back and pack your things. But I have to tell you, no one will drive you home on this rainy day." Seeing him like this, Lin Zhongguo said with a smile.
"No need to see me off, no need to see me off, I can walk on my own." Gu Mingze said, saluted the team leader, packed up the office, and ran away.
"This guy." Lin Zhongguo watched the man run away, shook his head, walked out and locked the door.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Lu Qingyan was washing up in the bathroom. When she heard the noise, she came out and looked at the person who had returned in surprise.
"The head of the regiment heard about our family's situation, so he gave me and others a day off so that I could go back to my hometown to see my mother." Gu Mingze put his raincoat aside and said to his wife with a smile.
"Oh, then go pack your things." When Lu Qingyan heard this reason, she nodded and turned back to wash up.
Gu Mingze was anxious to go back and didn't pay much attention to his wife's condition. He went into the house, put some money in his pocket, said a few words to the three people, put on his raincoat and left.
"Are you going back to your hometown now?" Mother Lu waited until her son-in-law left before coming out to look at her daughter and asking
"Well, I went back. My mother collapsed on the kang. As a son, I have to go back to see her." Lu Qingyan spit out the water in her mouth and said in a bad tone.
"My daughter, your attitude is not right. After all, she is Mingze's mother, your mother-in-law. If you were not pregnant, you should have gone back." Mother Lu heard that her daughter was not right, so she glared at her and said
"I didn't say I wouldn't let him go back. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Mom, let's eat." Lu Qingyan didn't want to say anything more. After wiping her face, she dragged her mother to eat.
"Oh." Mother Lu looked at her daughter like this. What was there to not understand? Wasn't it just that her son-in-law decided to go back to his hometown without telling her?
Thinking of this, I asked, "Is it because Mingze is going back to his hometown that I didn't tell you in advance?"
"No, I'm afraid that he'll be in such a hurry to go back. My mother-in-law is making trouble and following him. If he gets soft-hearted and brings her back, what should I do then?" Lu Qingyan swallowed the food in her mouth, put down her chopsticks and said
"But no matter what time it is, Lin Dacui is Mingze's mother, and Mingze has the responsibility to take care of them in their old age, not to mention that he is the eldest child in the family." Upon hearing this, Lu's mother stroked her daughter's hair and advised
"Yes, Gu Mingze has the responsibility to take care of her in her old age, but if he really wants to bring her back, he will be working outside every day, and I will have to take care of her, right?" Lu Qingyan took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I didn't say I won't take care of her in her old age, but when I think about how she almost caused me to have a miscarriage, I feel bad."
"Okay, stop imagining. When Mingze comes back, you'll know everything. You're imagining now and making yourself angry. What will you do if you get a stomachache?" Mother Lu felt bad seeing her daughter like this.
But for a daughter-in-law to provide for the elderly in their old age is the most normal thing in the village.
If I really don't support them, then when I return to the team, my spine will be broken by them.
"I know, so when Gu Mingze left, I didn't say anything else. Everything should be done according to his ideas. He wants to bring people here, and he will serve them in the future. If he wants me to serve, that's impossible." Lu Qingyan picked up the chopsticks and said with a firm face.
"We'll talk about it later. The most important thing for you now is to eat well, take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly, and don't worry about the rest." Seeing her daughter like this, Mother Lu swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and talked about other things.
"Well, no matter what, the most important thing now is for me to stay healthy and take good care of the children." Lu Qingyan nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started eating again.
Mother Lu glanced at the old man opposite her and lowered her head to eat.
Father Lu sat there without saying a word, but prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his son-in-law would not bring his mother-in-law and father-in-law over.
Although it is not a good idea for him to think this way, as long as his daughter is doing well, he will do whatever he wants.
As for Gu Mingze, he walked to the city railway station in the heavy rain, but there was no bus back to his hometown.
I could only find a guesthouse to stay in and wait for tomorrow's train.
But the next day, there was still no train to my hometown.
Upon asking, I found out that the train station had just notified us that due to continuous heavy rain, the train tracks had been washed away and all trains were temporarily suspended.
This left him with no choice but to return the same way he came in the heavy rain.
Gu Mingze walked for a while before he suddenly remembered that he was in a hurry yesterday and didn't pay much attention to his wife's expression. She seemed very unhappy at the time?
Thinking of this, he blamed himself for being too anxious and neglecting his wife, so he quickened his pace and walked home.
