Chapter 131 Extra: Gu Duoer and Gu Yuehua

　　Gu Duo'er was only thirty-two years old when she opened her sixth branch of her hair salon.

　　At this age, in the eyes of others, she is an old girl and cannot get married. Occasionally, when someone knows her age and asks, they will always say, "You must have been delayed in going to the countryside."

　　In this era, many girls who go to the countryside are in their twenties when they come back. If there is a slight delay, it will be difficult to find a suitable partner later, or the girl herself does not want to get married, so she simply stays single.

　　After hearing this, Gu Duoer just smiled and didn't want to explain anything.

　　Although times have developed and society has progressed, people are always subconsciously curious about single women, as if this is something wrong.

　　She doesn't care.

　　She has no other hope in this life. In fact, she just wants to live well and repay Master Pan and those who have saved and protected her.

　　As for getting married or not, she doesn't care.

　　That day, she was lying in the lounge behind her hairdresser applying a facial mask when Gu Yuehua suddenly came rushing over.

　　"What are you doing?" Gu Yuehua looked at the layer of mud on her face with some curiosity: "What's wrong with your face?"

　　"Wo Mei Rong is soothing... it's a facial mask..." Gu Duo'er was wearing a facial mask on her face. She was afraid that the mask would cause lines on her face, so she didn't dare to open her mouth, so she could only speak vaguely.

　　"Oh..." Gu Yuehua has never seen this before. He only knows that in addition to the hair salon, Guduoer seems to have added a beauty business. I heard it is very prosperous and women particularly like it. His sister-in-law and sister both go there.

　　It turns out that this is how beauty is done, just put a layer of paste on your face.

　　Guduoer knew it as soon as she saw the look in his eyes. She was really ignorant. This was a good thing. It was said to be the secret recipe prepared by the Empress Dowager Cixi herself in the palace. It used Chinese herbal medicines such as white morning glory, Bletilla striata, Angelica dahurica and Schizonepeta. , and also paired with honey and milk. Anyway, they are nutritious and are both good things.

　　She looked at him with disdain.

　　Gu Yuehua was actually a little helpless. He came here because he had important things to talk about, but it was a pity that he didn't look at the calendar when he went out and caught up with Gu Duo'er applying a facial mask.

　　I don't know when I applied this mask, otherwise it always feels weird.

　　"What are you doing with mud?" Gu Duoer asked vaguely, keeping his face expressionless.

　　Gu Yuehua coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then said: "Recently, my brother-in-law feels that everything is ready and he can start thinking about opening his own factory. If the factory is prepared, I can't do without it and I have to keep an eye on it."

　　In the past few years, Gu Yuehua has been responsible for the manufacturing and production of Huajing Company. From the initial recruitment of five workers to the development of his own manufacturing team to the current construction of the factory, Gu Yuehua has put in a lot of effort.

　　It can be said that the miracles Huajing Hanka created on this piece of Chinese land are the result of Gu Yuehua's hard work in the factory all night long.

　　It is precisely because of this that Gu Yuehua's personal affairs have been delayed. At a young age, he only thinks about his career and has not considered anything else.

　　Chen Cuiyue often complained about this, but what could she do?

　　At this time, Gu Duo'er felt that it was almost time to apply a facial mask, so he slightly lifted the paste around his mouth, and then said: "You are now the production supervisor of Huajing, and you will be the head of the first factory in the future. You must be busy!"

　　Gu Yuehua nodded, then looked at Gu Duo'er and said dryly: "I'll probably be too busy by then to care about anything..."

　　Gu Duoer sat up, brushed his hair, and was about to wash his face: "It's good to be busy. Look at who is idle on the street now. Except for the old man who is walking around with a bird cage, everyone else is busy! Only when you are busy can you make money. !"

　　When it comes to money, Gu Yuehua has something to say again: "Now I am responsible for the factory alone. My brother-in-law gave me almost 10% of the shares. The company's Hanka sales have been so good in the past few years. It stands to reason that I should I can share a lot of money, but I'm not in a hurry, the company still needs to develop, and my brother-in-law wants to continue working on more core technologies with Professor Yan, so I only shared about one million yuan, and now I have bought a house and a unit. The third floor of the building is said to be a golden floor, and the decoration is almost complete."

　　Gu Duo'er held a towel in his hand and was a little confused: "Why are you telling me this?"

　　Gu Yuehua's face turned red and he looked straight at Gu Duo'er.

　　Although most of Gu Duo'er's face still had the sticky mask left on it, he looked at her eyes, eye to eye.

　　Gu Duo'er: "?"

　　Gu Yuehua straightened his back and pursed his lips. Then, suddenly--

　　With a pop, he knelt down on one knee.

　　Gu Duo'er was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.

　　Gu Yuehua took out a red velvet box from his pocket, then raised it with one hand, knelt in front of Gu Duo'er, and said solemnly: "Miss Pan Duo, I am deeply in love with you, and I hope you can marry me and become my partner. Build a happy family with me."

　　Gu Duo'er was dumbfounded: "You, what's wrong with you?"

　　Gu Yuehua looked serious: "I'm proposing to you."

　　Gu Duo'er: "You get up first!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "Have you agreed to my proposal?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "You get up first."

　　Gu Yuehua: "No, tell me first, have you agreed?"

　　At this time, the screen door next to it was not closed tightly, and several hairdressers were already looking here curiously, enjoying the view. In fact, they were just waiting to see the gossip since Gu Yuehua came here in a hurry.

　　Guduo'er's face was slightly red: "Why don't you wait for me to wash off the mask on your face? What's the big deal!"

　　Gu Yuehua thought about it and said, "Well, you wash first."

　　Those who were watching the excitement couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

　　Guduoer then shouted: "Let's go to work, go to the door to entertain the guests, don't idle here!"

　　Several hairdressers smiled and dispersed, each going about his or her own business.

　　Gu Yuehua said hurriedly from the side: "Hurry up and wash it. You wash it first. We will talk about it after you wash it off."

　　There was really nothing to say about this scene. Gu Duoer had to wash her face quickly, clean it, and wipe it with a towel. She also took the opportunity to quickly apply some ice cream on herself. Unfortunately, she didn't have time, otherwise she should have put on makeup. ah.

　　She quickly tidied up, then turned around and said to Gu Yuehua: "What did you mean just now? Why did you do this suddenly!"

　　In fact, two or three years ago, the two people were very close. At that time, Gu Shunhua made it clear and Gu Duoer also hesitated on this issue.

　　But at the critical moment, Gu Yuehua seemed to have withdrawn, which made her feel boring.

　　It's not like she has to marry someone, just a child younger than herself, does she care? Do what you have to do, who cares!

　　I didn't expect him to do something like this out of the blue.

　　Gu Yuehua blushed, but he still looked into her eyes and said, "Why is it called sudden? Isn't it natural?"

　　Gu Duo'er lifted up her hair and smiled: "What are you talking about? Who can agree with you!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "You haven't talked about it in the past two years, and I haven't talked about it either. My conditions are pretty good now. You should consider me. You see, I bought a diamond ring."

　　As he spoke, he eagerly handed over the diamond ring.

　　Gu Duo'er sneered: "If you buy a diamond ring, I deserve to be married. You don't even think about it. Who do you think you are!"

　　Gu Yuehua pursed his lips and looked at Gu Duo'er: "Gu Duo'er, I have been working hard in the past two years and thinking about improving myself. Now I am in my

　　My brother-in-law's company is also the mainstay. I think if it develops well, it won't be bad. Maybe I still can't compare with you in terms of money, but you believe me. As a man, I will definitely be able to give you everything you want. I also I will take care of Master Pan and Grandma Tong together with you. "

　　Gu Duoer's smile slowly faded, and she looked at Gu Yuehua: "You mean, now that you are rich, you are proposing to me?"

　　Gu Yuehua: "There is a gap between me and you in the past two years, so I thought I would wait a little longer."

　　Gu Duoer: "Gu Yuehua, since you felt there was a gap two years ago, we still have a gap now. In fact, we can wait a little longer."

　　Gu Yuehua was a little dumbfounded: "Gu Duo'er, you?"

　　Gu Duo'er chuckled: "We'll talk about it later when you think there's no difference between us."

　　After saying that, he picked up the sunglasses next to him, put them on, and walked out.

　　Gu Yuehua held Gu Duo'er's hand: "Don't leave, make it clear."

　　Gu Duo'er turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

　　Almost face to face, each other's breaths intertwined, he looked at her smile and said: "What do you think about the two of us? Don't joke around, be serious."

　　Gu Duo'er: "The more serious thing is to wait."

　　Gu Yuehua's grip on her wrist gradually tightened: "I think the conditions for our marriage are mature. I'm pretty good in all aspects. Even if I can't compare with you now, given time, I won't be bad, and you won't be. Do you have to dislike me?"

　　Gu Duoer: "Then I really dislike you."

　　Gu Yuehua: "What do you mean?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "I despise you every time you bite me, but I don't despise it for you to see. What are you talking about!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "That's not what I meant."

　　Gu Duo'er: "That's what I heard from your red mouth and white teeth. Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

　　Gu Yuehua stopped talking.

　　He was silent for a while and then said: "You said it before..."

　　Guduoer: "What did I say?"

　　Gu Yuehua: "You said you wouldn't consider a man who is not excellent. You must have merits that you admire before you can consider him."

　　Gu Duoer raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yuehua in surprise.

　　Gu Yuehua: "I came to see you the year before last to listen to what you told me."

　　Gu Duoer then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but at that time, he was just chatting with the hairdresser in the hair salon, but he didn't expect that he would listen to her.

　　She was speechless for a moment.

　　After a while, he asked: "Do you think I'm talking about you? I dislike you?"

　　When Gu Yuehua heard this question, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Isn't it?"

　　Guduoer looked at him calmly: "Do you think I am this kind of person?"

　　Gu Yuehua was speechless for a moment.

　　Of course he knew she wasn't, but she didn't seem to want to get married. He still hoped to work harder and be better so that she would like him.

　　Gu Duo'er looked back, which was funny. At that time, she was just casually talking to the hairdresser in the shop, but who knew he would take it seriously!

　　No wonder, for two years, he didn't even let out a fart. She thought he had some ideas, so she ignored him, and she didn't insist on getting married.

　　It's good now, it suddenly popped up!

　　Gu Duo'er smiled: "Gu Yuehua, if you want to say that I dislike you, it's true that when you were a child, you were naked -"

　　Gu Yuehua suddenly said: "You have seen my naked butt, why can't you be responsible for me!"

　　Gu Duo'er: "What?"

　　Gu Yuehua opened the red velvet box directly. Inside was a bright diamond ring, which was quite large: "My virginity is gone. You have to be responsible for me. If you are not responsible, I will tell Grandma Tong and Master Pan to host it for me." justice!"

　　Gu Duoer burst out laughing: "Gu Yuehua, why are you so shameless!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "As long as I can catch up with my wife, I won't be embarrassed!"

　　After saying that, he knelt down again.

　　Gu Duo'er: "Wait, wait!"

　　Gu Yuehua looked at Gu Duo'er and said sincerely: "Gu Duo'er, we have known each other since we were little and we have been fighting each other. In the past two years, you have some ideas and I have some ideas too, but in my heart I am actually thinking that we should both work hard in our careers. , I worked hard for two years to make myself look like a person, and then I came to propose to you. I may have misunderstood a little at first, which is my fault, but I have no other ideas in the past two years. Others introduced me to partners. , I have never accepted it, I just thought that when I am done with my work and have some achievements, I will formally mention this matter to you."

　　With that said, he took out the diamond ring again: "Gu Duo'er, think about it."

　　Gu Duoer looked at Gu Yuehua and said nothing.

　　Gu Yuehua suddenly became a little unsure.

　　It was indeed not easy to go through the past two years. He was admitted to university and had an iron rice bowl, but he smashed the iron rice bowl again. This was his own willfulness. He is not young anymore, and he cannot always rely on his family, let alone earn a living from his sister and brother-in-law because of his status as brother-in-law. Therefore, he must show his own style, otherwise even if the company pays him a salary, he will be embarrassed to take it.

　　After two years, Huajing Company's team of workers has been trained, and he has become a master of production technology. He can finally breathe a sigh of relief and dare to consider life-long events.

　　As a result, now, he found that he was rushing forward, but in fact others may not be waiting.

　　Gu Duoer took a deep breath and said, "Yuehua, to be honest with you, I recently had a relationship and plan to get married."

　　Gu Yuehua was startled and looked at Gu Duo'er in disbelief.

　　Gu Duoer said calmly: "I haven't mentioned it to you guys because I thought it might not work out. But recently he proposed to me. I thought about it and I think I love him very much. He is very good and the most suitable person I have ever met." Yes, so I agreed to his proposal. We plan to follow the trend and get married on a trip, and we are planning to tell my family."

　　She looked at Gu Yuehua guiltily: "I'm sorry, I should make it clear, but I don't know what you think. Two years ago, I thought you didn't mean anything to me, so I -"

　　Gu Yuehua was a little at a loss for a moment. He quickly shook his head: "No, it's okay. I understand."

　　Guduoer looked at the diamond ring in his hand.

　　Gu Yuehua hurriedly put the diamond ring away in the box and put it in his pocket: "It's okay, just find the right one. I wish you happiness."

　　After saying that, he turned around and left.

　　After walking out of the hair salon, he walked on the street. The bright sunlight was dazzling, making his eyes wet, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

　　He raised his hands and rubbed his face, wondering where he had gone wrong, why did Guduoer fall in love with someone else?

　　I've been paying attention and haven't heard of this at all!

　　He frowned and paused.

　　After that, he took a deep breath, grabbed the red velvet box in his trouser pocket, and turned around suddenly.

　　He was going to ask.

　　When he walked into the hair salon, he was so focused on his own thoughts that he didn't even notice the smiles of the hair-washing girl and the hairdresser beside him.

　　He went to the lounge through the back door, and as soon as he walked into the corridor, he saw Gu Duo'er leaning lazily in front of the door.

　　Gu Yuehua stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

　　Gu Duo'er is different from before, her eyebrows are neatly aligned, her lips are rosy, her face is prettier than before, and her hair seems to have been treated with mousse.

　　She also wore a big dress, which looked very solemn!

　　He looked at her and finally asked: "Who do you want to marry?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "You care about me!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "That's not possible. I have to ask clearly. What if you were deceived?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "Okay, who are you to me? Why are you meddling in my affairs!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "Your mother's family!"

　　Gu Duo'er breathed out and almost didn't come up: "Who do you think you are from your mother's side! Damn you!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "We grew up together, and we live in the same courtyard. Why don't we count as my mother's family? Let's go. I will be your brother-in-law from now on. I will follow you to see what kind of brother-in-law you have found, and I will help you check. Let's have a good talk with my sister and don't bully our aunt in the future!"

　　Gu Duo'er was speechless: "You!"

　　Gu Yuehua looked at Gu Duo'er like that, and slowly smiled: "What's wrong? Is there no such person at all, who is deceiving me?"

　　Gu Duo'er snorted: "So what if I fool you!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "Since you have fooled me, then you should consider my proposal again. You see, I specially asked someone to buy the diamond ring from Hong Kong. I know you are following the fashion."

　　Gu Duo'er blushed a little: "Bring it to me for a look. If it's too small, I won't care."

　　Gu Yuehua handed over the red velvet box: "It's quite big. It's said to be well made. It's one carat. This diamond ring will definitely be worth it to you!"

　　Guduoer took it and saw that the diamond was indeed beautiful, dazzling, cut, pure and everything else was good.

　　She looked at it for a while and then reluctantly said: "It's not bad, barely keeping up."

　　A smile appeared in Gu Yuehua's eyes: "Then you try it on first. If the size doesn't fit, change it later."

　　Gu Duo'er: "Then you have to kneel down again and do it again."

　　Gu Yuehua: "?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "What happened just now doesn't count, we have to propose again."

　　I didn't say anything clearly, and I was still wearing a facial mask at first, which was so stupid.

　　Gu Yuehua opened a big smile: "Okay, let's do it again, this time it's official!"

　　****************

　　Gu Duo'er heard that Gu Yuehua had misunderstood her, and she was indeed a little annoyed, but thinking about what she said as a joke in the past, he thought more about it and worked hard to make himself "not dislike him", which makes sense. .

　　That way, I won't think about it anymore.

　　I bought a big diamond ring for him, and it fits me perfectly. Isn't that great?

　　So after deceiving Gu Yuehua out, she took the opportunity to quickly put on makeup and arrange her hair. Anyway, she was in the most beautiful state. She proposed again and had a perfect ceremony!

　　After the proposal was successful, the two people sat down and decided on their future life matters, including whose house they would live in, who they would live with, how they would provide for the elderly, and how they would provide for the elderly. , their temperaments and habits are all familiar, there is no contradiction, everyone is happy!

　　After everything was settled, they went back to the courtyard and announced that they were getting married!

　　Everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

　　Before I talk about it, seeing that the two children were getting along well, everyone felt that this matter had something to do with it, and they discussed it privately. Who knew that there was no movement later, and everyone was still a little disappointed, thinking that a man would marry a woman before she was married, and then I grew up in a courtyard. Isn't this great? Why can't it be possible?

　　Now it's good, it's finally done!

　　Master Pan and Grandma Tong were overjoyed when they heard the news. They breathed a sigh of relief and said they didn't care, but in fact they still hoped that Gu Duo'er would find someone reliable, so that they wouldn't be in trouble if they were gone one day. Don't worry, Gu Quanfu and Chen Cuiyue like her so much that they don't know why.

　　The two families have always had a good relationship, and now they are going to become a family because of their children. Of course they are happy to think about it, and now they can take care of each other even more.

　　However, Chen Cuiyue still sighed: "These two children, why have they gone? Why have they gone? If it happened two years ago, now the children are out!"

　　Of course, it's not too late to make it happen now, as long as we're together.

　　The two families decided to strike while the iron was hot and sat together to discuss marriage. At this time, everyone in the courtyard knew about it and were all happy for them. This was the first time in decades that a young man from a large courtyard married a girl from a large courtyard. It had not happened in the past. One, this time it happened, no matter what, it had to be done in a big way, and everyone took it as their own business.

　　It became lively now, and they began to discuss the wedding banquet, wedding, and even housing.

　　Gu Yuehua and Gu Duoer also looked at each other in shock when they saw this scene.

　　It had only been two days since they announced the news, but they didn't expect that their parents had already set a wedding date. From the looks of it, their children's elementary school textbooks with pencils and erasers were all ready!

　　Gu Yuehua hurriedly said: "The house is ready, don't worry, everyone will be able to live in the prepared building when the time comes, and everyone can have fun together!"

　　Guduo'er also said quickly: "Don't worry about the wedding. We have already agreed to travel and get married. We will get married when we go out and be cool! We don't have to worry about the banquet. We don't want to be extravagant and wasteful!"

　　No banquet? Then everyone stared: "It must be done, we must do it when you go on a trip!"

　　Gu Yuehua and Gu Duoer were both dumbfounded, wondering what this meant...

　　****************

　　Finally, Gu Yuehua and Gu Duoer showed up at the wedding banquet, and then went out for their honeymoon.

　　And everyone in the courtyard was having a wedding banquet together, and the bride and groom were not there? Never mind them!

　　In recent years, Gu Yuehua has been very busy, and so has Gu Duoer, both of whom are busy with their careers. As for after getting married, they will still have to be busy with their careers. Now that they are getting married, everyone is taking two weeks off to have a good rest. .

　　In fact, at the beginning, it seemed a bit natural for the two of them to be together. They could not help but feel that they were just right for each other, and they did not necessarily love each other to the death, at least Gu Duoer thought so.

　　However, after getting married, they became intimate with each other everywhere, and sometimes she felt that she actually liked him quite a lot. There were many young men in the courtyard, and she was not suitable for all of them. She still liked Gu Yuehua quite a bit. As for Gu Yuehua, he felt aggrieved. He felt that he had always cared about Gu Duo'er and always wanted to marry Gu Duo'er. How could she be like this? It was uncertain!

　　"It's your fault, who made you think so much!" Gu Duo'er said, "Can't you ask me more questions?"

　　"You always think I'm a child, so I inevitably overthink it." He complained: "When I was a kid, you always bullied me."

　　"When did I bully you?"

　　"When I was very young, you snatched my space and made fun of me as a naked kid!"

　　"That's because you laughed at me first. If you didn't laugh at me, why would I bully you! I was seeking revenge!"

　　"Why did I bully you?"

　　Gu Duo'er frowned and sneered: "You have forgotten about my love, but I remember it!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "You're making fun of me like a little lazy dog!"

　　Gu Yuehua: "When did I laugh at you for looking like a little lazy dog?"

　　How dare he!

　　Gu Duo'er: "It was the first time my grandpa took me home!"

　　At that time, she was still very young. She was just an abandoned child wandering on the street. She was picked up coal cores among a group of older children and was beaten by others. She was saved by Master Pan. Master Pan took pity on her and took her in. She took it home.

　　As a result, as soon as she entered the house, Master Pan went to boil water. When she peeked out secretly, she met Gu Yuehua, a brat who actually laughed at her!

　　Gu Yuehua was confused: "Really? Is there such a thing?"

　　Gu Duo'er: "Of course, look at you, you have been bad since you were a child, bullying children, and snobbish."

　　Gu Yuehua fell into self-blame: "So I gave you such a bad first impression. I was like this when I was a child!"

　　Guduoer glanced at him lightly: "So, you have to be twice as kind to me now so that you can compensate me."

　　Gu Yuehua nodded: "Well, I will definitely treat you twice as well. Look at me now, I think about you in everything!"

　　Guduoer also thought it was okay. She smiled with satisfaction, and the two of them talked again and fell asleep hugging each other sweetly.

　　But halfway through his sleep, Gu Yuehua suddenly remembered.

　　"Did you wear a red headband and tie your hair like this when you were a kid?" He gestured.

　　"Ah?" Gu Duo'er was almost asleep, blinking in confusion.

　　"You're also carrying a little blue baggage, aren't you?"

　　Gu Duo'er nodded: "It seems so."

　　Gu Yuehua felt really aggrieved: "You are the evil one who complained first. It was you who said I looked like a little fat dog, and then I said you were a little bastard! It was you who bullied me first!"

　　Gu Duo'er suddenly opened his eyes wide.

　　But she quickly yawned loudly: "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep."

　　After saying that, she fell there, closed her eyes, and made a purring sound.

　　Of course Gu Yuehua didn't believe it and shook her. As a result, she actually fell asleep, not just pretending!

　　He was helpless and gritted his teeth: "Liar! I've never seen a liar like you!"

　　He lay there, looked at her sleeping appearance, studied it for a while, and then said: "She is quite a delicious liar!"

　　He leaned forward and couldn't help but kiss her.

　　Forget it, go to bed first, you have to get up early tomorrow.

　　He soon fell asleep too and fell into sleep.

　　In the dream, the little fat dog and the little lazy dog ​​started fighting...

　　Chapter 132 Extra story

　　That day, Zhang Zhaoyun was pregnant, and her father came over to see her, and they had dinner together. During the meal, for some reason, Ren Jingnian mentioned the recent company Hanka incident.

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father actually doesn't pay much attention to these things. His thoughts are all on the old objects in the museum, and he has been stuck in them all his life, so he doesn't understand anything about Hanka or companies.

　　But because they were relatives, I just asked casually. Gu Zhenhua understood it, so he inevitably said a few more words, and even took the newspaper next to him to show to Zhang Zhaoyun's father.

　　The newspaper was Computer Science and Technology News, and there was a photo of Ren Jingnian giving a speech at the United Nations. Ren Jingnian was wearing a suit and looking high-spirited. The photo was really good.

　　When Zhang Zhaoyun's father saw it, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this your brother-in-law?"

　　Gu Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, this is when he lectured on the smart font input method and Hanka at the United Nations. Now he has become a famous person. He is invited to give lectures everywhere. The smart font input method he invented has spread throughout China. Many training classes in Zhongguancun are teaching smart fonts."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun suddenly thought: "Dad, foreign museums have already begun to use informatization. You will probably have to introduce computers in the future. If you introduce computers, you will also have to learn this. If you don't learn this, you won't be able to use computers."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father was surprised: "Really?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Of course, if you don't learn smart fonts, your computer will be in English and you won't be able to use Chinese characters! Now more than half of the computers in the country will be equipped with smart fonts."

　　So Ren Jingnian is really famous now, and everyone knows his name wherever he goes.

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father nodded. After nodding, he looked down at the newspaper in his hand. On the newspaper was a photo of Ren Jingnian wearing a suit standing on the podium.

　　He looked at it for a while and then asked: "What's his last name and where is he from?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun then smiled: "Dad, you saw her at our wedding. Her surname is Ren. Ren Jingnian comes from **Province."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father nodded, but still asked: "What about his parents? What do their parents do?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun thought for a while: "I've never heard of this. It seems to be my stepmother. His father is in his hometown."

　　As he spoke, he looked at Gu Zhenhua.

　　Gu Zhenhua hurriedly told what he knew about the situation.

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Dad, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father sighed and took another look at the photo: "He looks like your second cousin, he's so similar."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's second cousin is in the United States. He was an international student who received the Boxer Indemnity in old China. He has stayed in the United States and has not returned to the country. It was only in the past few years that China and the United States established diplomatic relations that the two parties got in touch and learned that the other party was teaching at a well-known American university.

　　Zhang Zhaoyun thought of the photo of his second cousin: "Does it look like him?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father: "We looked quite similar when we were young, but now that your second cousin has gained weight, he doesn't look much like me anymore."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun was a little confused.

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father sighed: "But it must be a coincidence. Your second cousin went out before liberation. From what I mean, Zhenhua's brother-in-law is less than thirty years old now, and they have never met him."

　　Gu Zhenhua suddenly remembered something: "My brother-in-law's mother used to be the daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing. I heard that something happened at home, so she ran away. Later, she lived in their local area, and then she married his father."

　　As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhaoyun and Zhang Zhaoyun's father all looked at Gu Zhenhua.

　　Gu Zhenhua: "That's what I said at the time, Shunhua said it."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father suddenly thought of something: "Your little cousin, your little cousin, she got lost before liberation!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun also thought about it. He heard his father mention it, saying that his eldest uncle's family had four children, three cousins, and a cousin. The cousin was an old woman and was very popular. Unfortunately, Peiping fell and disappeared in the war. Later, I tried to find a way to find it and found the maid at that time. She said that she was gone. She was hit by a shell. She couldn't find her. She must be dead.

　　As a result, Zhang's family was heartbroken, but they felt unwilling to do so. They looked for it from time to time, but still couldn't find it.

　　After liberation, Zhang Zhaoyun's father also looked for him, but he couldn't find him anywhere. Later, his family's situation became worse, and he lost contact with his cousin in Hong Kong, the United States, and he couldn't find him anymore.

　　Having said this, everyone thought of a possibility.

　　However, this is too much of a coincidence, who would dare to think in this direction.

　　But Gu Zhenhua became interested: "I'll go over tomorrow and ask them in detail. Maybe Jing Nian can know something about them. Maybe they are actually relatives."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father was a little hesitant to think about it. After all, it was too unbelievable. He could only ask Gu Zhenhua to inquire and ask for information.

　　However, Zhang Zhaoyun and Gu Zhenhua became interested and quickly contacted Ren Jingnian and asked in detail. When Ren Jingnian heard this, he immediately became interested.

　　He hadn't thought about it before because his mother always thought that her relatives were gone. Besides, what her mother said back then was rather vague. Now,

　　It seemed like I had a clue, so how could I not ask?

　　He immediately came over to meet Zhang Zhaoyun's father.

　　As soon as they met, Zhang Zhaoyun's father was excited: "Looks like him, looks like him, he really looks like my second cousin!"

　　My nephew is like my uncle, and there is nothing wrong with him.

　　So Zhang Zhaoyun's father asked Ren Jingnian's condition in detail, and after repeated questioning, he burst into tears when he found out that there was a red mole between his mother's ears.

　　"This is it, this is it, you are really my little cousin's child! She is still alive!"

　　Both parties became a little excited, and Zhang Zhaoyun's father hurried home and found photos of his childhood.

　　It was taken during the Republic of China. It was a black and white photo with traces of yellowing, but you can vaguely see seven or eight children sitting or standing on it. Among them, there is a little girl in the middle with two braids, elegant and quiet.

　　Ren Jingnian recognized her at a glance: "This should be my mother."

　　By this time, there was nothing left to doubt, and Zhang Zhaoyun's father burst into tears.

　　He was about to call his cousin in the United States to talk about this matter, but Zhang Zhaoyun quickly stopped him and said that there was a time difference and he had to wait until later to call, so he gave up.

　　***************

　　This is something I never thought of. How could it be such a coincidence? They are actually a family!

　　Gu Quanfu thought about it and suddenly realized: "When you said Zhang, I thought it was Zhang, but after a long time of quarrel, it was Zhang!"

　　If I had known it earlier, I might have thought about it, but fortunately, it's not too late now, so I just want to admit my marriage!

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father is more excited than anyone else. For so many years, he has been immersed in old papers and dealing with pottery and wood. In fact, he is very indifferent to other things. Most of his relatives are abroad, and Zhang Zhaoyun is by his side now.

　　As for his daughter, Zhang Zhaoyun's father is also very tolerant. He thinks that as long as his children live a good life, they can do whatever they want, and he can live a good life on his own.

　　But now, after meeting Ren Jingnian and looking through the old photos again, it reminded him of his youth, of the four generations living under the same roof, the lively family!

　　From the turbulent times of the Republic of China to the current peace and prosperity of the country, spanning half a century of vicissitudes, death and departure, it seems that he is the only one who remains and stands firm.

　　Maybe it was because he was getting older, he felt particularly nostalgic, and he felt particularly close to Ren Jingnian when he saw her.

　　He asked Ren Jingnian to accompany him to the old house. It was not the courtyard house he lived in now, but the old house of his family, the old house where four generations lived together. His parents got married here and he was born here. Their whole family of brothers and sisters grew up here, and later set out here to go to all parts of the world and to their own destiny.

　　He sighed: "Your eldest uncle, second uncle is in the United States, and your third uncle is in Hong Kong. After hearing the news, they are coming back to see you. I told them about your situation. They were sad for your mother, but they were also happy for you. , saying that you are promising, you have lived up to your mother's hard work. When your second uncle heard about you, he was quite proud and said that the Chinese people are good, but he didn't know that he was praising his nephew! He had never seen a photo of you, but when he saw it later, he said it really looked like it, almost the same as when he was young."

　　"When they come back and look at this place and you, they will definitely be happy."

　　Ren Jingnian nodded: "This house is confiscated now, otherwise we can buy it back and renovate it."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father: "It's all in the past, I can't buy it back."

　　For a moment, he stood across the green old locust tree and sighed: "This is quite old. We used to play here when we were children. Your mother was naughty and climbed over the wall by herself. As a result, she tripped and fell, and she almost got a scar on her forehead. Scar, because of this, we were punished by grandpa."

　　Ren Jingnian didn't say anything. He just looked at the old house and the old locust tree, imagining what his mother had said back then and what she looked like when she was young.

　　It is said that she was to be picked up by her elder brother and sent to Hong Kong. Unfortunately, it was a step too late and they were separated during the Japanese bombing.

　　Of course, in the long years to come, she never mentioned it like this, not to anyone.

　　Even Ren Jingnian vaguely knew that her mother's family used to be very wealthy in Beijing, but she didn't know the details, and neither she nor her son told them.

　　She rotted her life experience in her stomach and took it to the grave. Then, like an ordinary peasant woman, she plowed the land, washed and cooked, and collected shoe soles to do housework.

　　Several of Ren Jingnian's uncles made an appointment to return to China together. Ren Jingnian's family also came to Beijing, and everyone got together.

　　The youngest of several uncles, the three uncles, are more than ten years older than Ren Jingnian's mother. They are now gray-haired. When they returned to their homeland, the moment they stepped off the plane, their eyes started to change.

　　The second uncle among them went to study abroad and never came back, but the eldest uncle and the third uncle actually left just to escape the war. Who would have thought that they were still teenagers when they left, and their temples were already frosty when they returned.

　　When they got off the plane and saw Ren Jingnian, the three uncles almost burst into tears. After being persuaded for a long time, they stopped. They held Ren Jingnian's hand tightly, looked at Ren Jingnian, and said repeatedly, "That's just right." This is what he looked like when he was young!

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's father has not seen his cousins ​​for many years. At this time, holding hands, who can not shed tears.

　　Coming back from the airport, I took a car, which Ren Jingnian bought newly.

　　There have been more and more cars in the past two years, but they are still rare on the streets.

　　Seeing this scene, the three uncles also sighed with emotion. It is not easy to think about their children. They have struggled to become a good person from poverty to nothing over the years.

　　Because there was only one car, we took a taxi and everyone got in the car separately. Along the way, we looked at the scenery on the roadside. At this time, Beijing was under construction. At a glance, demolition was happening everywhere. Changes are being made everywhere, and six-story red brick buildings have been built in many places. They are residential buildings.

　　In addition to residential buildings, there are also tall buildings being built one after another.

　　This makes the wanderers who have returned from overseas look at it, and they feel a lot of emotion. Forty years away from home is like a dream. When they look back in a daze, they have changed, and so has their motherland.

　　It is no longer the former gloomy and gloomy appearance that was bullied by others. It is full of vitality everywhere, and it has also made a name for itself in the international community.

　　After taking him home, several uncles saw Ren Jingnian's courtyard house and praised him greatly. Although they knew that Ren Jingnian had achieved some achievements, he always heard some bad rumors when he was abroad. After seeing the prosperous city of Beijing and seeing my nephew living a comfortable life as a child, I feel completely relieved.

　　At this time, Ren Jingnian's father, stepmother and brother were all waiting, and they hurriedly greeted him when they saw him.

　　In fact, there was not much contact, especially with Ren Jingnian's stepmother. Now seeing her ex-wife's brothers, she was naturally a little embarrassed, but country people don't pay that much attention.

　　Now everyone met. Ren Jingnian's uncles didn't feel well when they saw Ren Jingnian's father. They could see that the other party was an ordinary farmer, honest and stubborn. They thought that their sister would accompany him throughout the long years. Such a man is actually quite sad.

　　After all, the little sister who was once held in the palm of everyone's hands!

　　But in those days, the war was chaotic and the Japanese bombed. I was lucky to survive. Now I still have blood, which is even more thankful to God.

　　As for sitting there, chatting with Ren Jingnian's father about his sister, and listening to him talk about his sister's past, that was even more of a blessing among misfortunes.

　　Fortunately, despite Ren Jingnian's father's wishes, my sister actually didn't suffer too much. The family that adopted her back then was a good character, and Ren Jingnian's father was generally an honest man, at least not the kind of wife-beater. of.

　　It seemed that her life must have been difficult, but she was just suffering from poverty. Who in China at that time was not poor? As long as you are not too mentally abused, you will be satisfied.

　　On this day, Zhang Zhaoyun's father, Gu Quanfu and Chen Cuiyue's family all came, and everyone had a reunion dinner.

　　The kitchen was run by father and daughter Gu Quanfu and Gu Shunhua themselves, so the dishes on the table were naturally full of color, flavor and aroma.

　　Several uncles tasted the food and asked about Gu Shunhua's restaurant. They all praised him: "I didn't expect that the domestic development is so good now. When we left, the mountains and rivers were really ruined and our homes were scattered. Everyone was I was running for my life, but in the blink of an eye, I came back. Everyone is living a good life. Look at the food on this table. If it had been left here before, it would have been eaten by the princes and emperors. Now we will take advantage of it when we return home and can eat it. Got it!"

　　Everyone laughed as they listened.

　　In the next few days, Ren Jingnian deliberately spared time to take his father and several uncles for a stroll. The two parties were a little uncomfortable at first, but then they started chatting and talked about Ren Jingnian's mother. That's a lot of words.

　　Ren Jingnian's father was a taciturn man, but now, facing his deceased wife's brother, he talked a lot about the past.

　　She also specifically mentioned that when she first got married, Ren Jingnian's mother liked to knit sweaters and make shoes. She was good at knitting sweaters and making beautiful shoes. At that time, people in the village asked her for help, and they also talked about her relationship with so-and-so in the village. Okay, keep coming and going.

　　After listening to this for a long time, the uncles felt a little relieved. Listening to that, my sister's life was actually not that boring. Even if she lost her former wealth, she was still living seriously and managing her life happily. taste.

　　And it can be seen that the man in front of him is honest and honest, and may not be capable, but at least his sister was happy when she married him, and this man also tried his best to protect his sister.

　　After playing for a few days, several uncles mentioned the domestic development and Ren Jingnian's current career, and began to talk about domestic investment and returning to China to build the motherland.

　　I was a little hesitant at first. After all, I am getting older and I don't know if it will happen again in the future.

　　Ren Jingnian was not in a hurry to persuade them, knowing that they would inevitably hear some negative news after being abroad for a long time, so after seeing his father off, he took them to visit Zhongguancun, factories, and rural markets.

　　After a few days of visiting like this, seeing the excitement at the rural market and the hustle and bustle of the Zhongguancun Electronic City street, several uncles changed their minds.

　　This is their homeland, which has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they should indeed abandon their personal interests and make their own contribution to the motherland.

　　The second uncle said that he wanted to resign from an American university and come back to China to contribute his own strength. The first uncle and the third uncle both wanted to invest and open factories in China. They had money in their hands, all in US dollars. This was the introduction of foreign investment.

　　Seeing that it was the first day of the tenth lunar month, which was the Winter Clothes Festival, rural people would choose this day to worship. Ren Jingnian and Gu Shunhua each explained their work, took leave for their two children, and went back to Ren Jingnian with several uncles. In the hometown of Nian, I went to pay homage to Ren Jingnian's mother.

　　They walked a long distance, from train to bus, and finally to tractor, and finally arrived at Ren Jingnian's hometown.

　　The people here were wearing white turbans and red faces, looking at them curiously.

　　Ren Jingnian brought candies and gave them to the children with runny noses. The children laughed happily and ran away holding the candies.

　　Ren Jingnian's younger brother has now graduated from high school and has not been admitted to college. He has come back to take over the previous job of Ren Jingnian's father at the grain station.

　　He is a little shy, but he is considerate in his work.

　　He settled everyone down first and said they would eat first and then go to the cemetery.

　　However, several uncles were impatient, so he led a group of people there.

　　It was just after noon at this time, and many rural people had already visited the graves. From time to time, there were one or two graves in the crop fields on the roadside. Next to the graves were white ashes that were blown away by the wind.

　　The autumn crops have been harvested, and the autumn is vast. When the west wind blows, the dead leaves drift in the fields where only the dry crop stubble is exposed.

　　The grave of Ren Jingnian's mother is in a field in the west of the village. It is not a big grave and has no tombstone. However, there is a willow tree next to it, and this willow tree can be used to identify the grave.

　　The cemetery is covered with weeds, but there are also wild wolfberries in the weeds. The wolfberries are red and ripe. They are everywhere in the countryside and no one has picked them.

　　Brother Ren Jingnian went over and picked up all the weeds, finally clearing a clean area: "Let's burn it here."

　　The uncles looked around and saw that there were actually graves all around. They were like this. No one usually took care of them, so they burned them during worship to show their devotion.

　　It was also the first time for Gu Shunhua to come here. He was a stranger to her, and he felt a little guilty. He had been running around in life all these years, and he couldn't take care of many things.

　　She took out the Ming coins from the bamboo basket and brought some fruits for visiting the graves. They were Jingba type fruits, brought specially from Beijing, and she wanted to give them to her mother-in-law, whom she had never met before, to try them.

　　The Ming coins burned, and the red flames licked the thin paper, and the fire light rose. In the fire light, the grass, the dead leaves, and the grave seemed to become clear, so clear that they were deformed.

　　Everyone said nothing and burned the paper silently.

　　Ren Jingnian asked the two children to kneel down, told them that this was grandma's cemetery, and asked them to call grandma.

　　The two children were a little confused, but they still knelt down and shouted sensibly.

　　Perhaps it was the child's soft voice that broke the defense in his heart, and one of the uncles burst into tears suddenly.

　　One cried, and so did the other two.

　　At first she just cried softly, then she burst into tears, beating her chest and feet, and bursting into tears.

　　In front of the barren grave, the coins have been burned out. The breeze blows through the grass, sweeps away the fallen leaves, and gently rolls up the remaining ashes. The white ashes dissipate in the air and float into the ethereal distance.

　　This scene is a bit sad, especially on a day like the first day of October.

　　Gu Shunhua's nose felt sore and he cried. The two children blinked and cried too.

　　Ren Jingnian couldn't help but cry.

　　Even the re-elected younger brother, Jing Nian, has red eyes.

　　After several old people cried, they wiped their noses and tears away, but they looked at the grave blankly for a long time.

　　They actually thought about moving their sister's ashes away, but gave up after Ren Jingnian's persuasion.

　　Move, move to where.

　　The three of them are now living in a foreign land, and they don't know where they will return home!

　　And this land is the other side that my sister arrived at after overcoming the flames of war and smoke, and it is her last choice of home.

　　Maybe she was poor and backward, maybe the man she married didn't understand poetry, but at least the two of them spent the longest period of her life together, and gave birth to a bloodline that she was proud of.

　　This was her choice, and this was her final resting place.

　　Chapter 133 Extra: Changes with each passing day

　　In May, catkins are flying all over the sky. The flower beds on both sides of the street are in bloom. The vegetation is lush and the flowers are fragrant. It is the best season of the year.

　　There is a rumor that the Xinjiekou courtyard house that I have lived in for many years is going to be demolished. I don't know if it is really going to be demolished, but it is still rumored. Even the large courtyard house in Dashilan has received news.

　　The old neighbors in the courtyard are all trying their best to move their relatives' household registrations to their own homes. Anyway, they have to move whatever they can. If they have some relatives, they can move there. If the household registration is there, they can get more houses when the time comes.

　　Over the years, everyone has understood that demolition can make a fortune. Old men and old ladies have no big way to make money, so they are all counting on this.

　　However, the younger generation naturally has the vitality of the younger generation. Twenty years have passed, and those who were with Gu Shunhua back then are already middle-aged, and each has their own development. The hope for demolition is that the older generation I hope my parents will improve their living conditions. As for getting rich, I don't really expect it. No one is short of this.

　　As for Ren Jingnian Gu Shunhua, Ren Jingnian's company has been booming in the past few years. The group's business has gone abroad. The company's market value is among the top in China. Who still expects the demolition money? As for Gu Shunhua himself, Yushan Family is now The reputation has become more and more famous, and more than 20 branches have been opened. Gu Shunhua himself is now an outstanding chef of the Beijing Culinary Association, and is a business technical expert in Beijing awarded by the Beijing Federation of Trade Unions. Over the years, the reputation has become more and more popular, and the chefs trained under him I don't know how much, but it can be said that he has achieved success and fame.

　　As for the houses, I have bought a few in the past few years. There are seven or eight courtyard houses in Ya'er Hutong alone, which can form a large area when surrounded. They were all bought in one go when others sold them at low prices. They can be regarded as one If you invest, you can keep it as a dowry for Duoduo in the future.

　　Ren Jingnian Group has also invested in real estate, and has acquired a few pieces of land. Anyway, it is doing it slowly.

　　So no matter what, I don't have to worry about the house.

　　However, when Ren Jingnian heard the news, he still thought of moving first, to a courtyard near Houhai. It was bright and spacious, with a large courtyard, three-in-one yard, and parking spaces, so he could accommodate a nanny and driver. He would definitely have a better life. Comfortable.

　　So in the past few days, both of them were worrying about moving.

　　Now the two children are older and have returned from studying abroad. They are both working in Renjingnian Company when they are in their twenties, but they started from the grassroots level. Duoduo likes to study technology. He went to the technology research and development department and learned a lot. Management, went to the sales department, and practiced contacting customers first.

　　The two children have already found a partner, but they are not married yet. The child means that they have taken care of the move and asked Gu Shunhua to travel for a few days, and when he comes back, the family will have moved.

　　Gu Shunhua thought it was okay and was thinking about where to go.

　　At this time, I heard someone selling new garlic on the street outside, and I became interested, so I went over to take a look. Sure enough, farmers from the suburbs came to the city to sell fresh garlic. They braided the fresh garlic and hung it on a tricycle. The cart was full. .

　　Gu Shunhua likes new garlic. New garlic is tender and crispy that old garlic does not have. It happens to be the season of cucumbers at this time. It has been passed down from ancestors. Crush the garlic cloves and mix the cucumbers, and then add it to the mutton noodles. The taste will naturally be good.

　　Nowadays, there are very few hawkers on the street. To buy anything, you have to go to the farmer's market. Gu Shunhua bought a few hangings in one go and asked the nanny to hang them under the eaves of the kitchen. At first glance, they seemed to match well, and they had the same taste as in the past. Son.

　　People are like this sometimes, and little things will pique their interest. In fact, in recent years, she has rarely cooked by herself. She also has her own chef at home, and she only cooks when she is interested.

　　Now that I saw the new garlic, I became interested and went to the kitchen to make a meal myself.

　　While she was cooking, Wang Xinrui happened to come over. Seeing her like this, he smiled and said, "Master Gu actually cooks by himself. It's rare, it's rare!"

　　A few years ago, Wang Xinrui encountered laid-off employees from state-owned enterprises. At that time, state-owned enterprises were in recession, and she was certainly among them. After being laid off, she was confused at first, but later she started a coffee shop and bakery, and she also borrowed Gu Shunhua's credit for desserts. , now the business is booming, there are already four branches in Beijing, and they hope to grow even bigger in the future.

　　Wang Xinrui's husband has not been laid off. Now he has reached a high-level position in the group and is living a very comfortable life. Wang Xinrui's daughter has not come back since studying abroad. It seems that she has stayed abroad.

　　Wang Xinrui and his wife certainly had some regrets about this, but thinking that their daughter liked it, they let her go.

　　In Wang Xinrui's own words, they no longer count on their daughter, but can only count on relatives and friends to help each other, and now they have recognized Duoduo as their goddaughter.

　　Gu Shunhua said with a smile: "If you are lucky, you can catch up with the meal as soon as you come here. You will stay for lunch today. I will call Jianhui later so we can eat together!"

　　Wang Xinrui: "Okay, I'll rub it against you!"

　　With that said, he took out his cell phone and was about to make a call.

　　Nowadays, society is developing rapidly, and everyone's economic conditions are also good. First, they had PCs, and then they all switched to mobile phones. Small candy bar phones, you can just go and answer the call, which is really convenient.

　　Her lover was having a meeting over there. When Wang Xinrui summoned him and said that Gu Shunhua was cooking in person, she immediately became interested and promised repeatedly, saying that she would drive over after the meeting.

　　After hanging up the phone, Wang Xinrui started working together in the kitchen. While doing it, he talked: "Lei Yongquan said that Gao Jun's son will get married in a few days. Let's get together in advance to discuss how to celebrate Gao Jun's son. We have to give him a big gift. ."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Well, that's right. I mentioned this matter a few days ago during the competition."

　　In the early years, when they were short of coal, Gao Jun helped a lot. Later, Gao Jun's wife got sick and came to Beijing to see her. Everyone had the money and ability to contribute. Gao Jun's wife needed long-term medication, but the hospital in her hometown didn't have that kind of medicine. They Friends in Beijing have a long-term trust relationship to help Gao Jun's wife buy it, and then send it to her after buying it.

　　Gao Jun's son Bi Duoduo is one year older. He is a promising child and is good at studies. He passed the college entrance examination and passed the Tsinghua University. Gao Jun and his wife's hard work was not in vain.

　　Mr. and Mrs. Gao and Jun sent their children to college. When they came here and saw the big guys in Beijing, they almost knelt down and said that his wife's life had depended on the big guys' help these years.

　　A few years ago, Gao Jun's son went to the United States to study abroad at public expense. After completing his Ph.D., he came back. Now he is working as a teacher in a university. He has a date and is about to get married.

　　And Lei Yongquan is naturally prosperous. He took advantage of the trend and entered the sea ten years ago. He has connections and connections, engages in real estate, and makes a fortune. The real estate company under the Ren Jingnian Group was built because of his leadership. Woolen cloth.

　　As for Chang Hui, after giving birth to her daughter, she studied for an on-the-job master's and doctoral degree. Now she is an associate professor at China University of Science and Technology. She is also very satisfied with her life plan. In the final analysis, she has everything she has ever desired and pursued. , it can be considered complete.

　　The two of them were discussing like this. Soon the mutton noodles were ready, the child came back, Ren Jingnian came back, and the car beeped outside.

　　Ren Jingnian just got out of the car, and Wang Xinrui's wife also came over. Everyone gathered together and had a happy meal.

　　Mix new garlic with cucumbers and add it to the hot mutton noodles. It's delicious.

　　Gao Jun's son's wedding was at the end of May. Everyone went there that day and gave Gao Jun's son a big gift together. Gao Jun's daughter-in-law also graduated from a master's degree and now works in a foreign company. She is a well-paid person, so the couple is a good match.

　　Everyone was happy for Gao Jun, and Gao Jun himself was overjoyed. He was also from the city back then, but he got married and had children in the corps. Later, he couldn't return to the city, so he stayed in Inner Mongolia and integrated into it.

　　After so many years, his descendants finally made their way from Inner Mongolia to Beijing and settled here. Thinking about this, it brings tears to my eyes. These years of hard work have not been easy, but I am satisfied.

　　At the banquet, they were a group of former friends. As they drank and drank, they inevitably talked about everything. They talked about everyone's current situation. Among the group of people, Lei Yongquan is a real estate developer, Gu Shunhua owns a restaurant, and Ren Jing The company's market value was astonishing in 2016, and everyone else was also achieving success in their respective jobs.

　　Even laid-off workers such as Wang Xinrui are doing well by opening a cafe.

　　When everyone thinks about the hard days in the past, and then thinks about today, it is inevitable to sigh, thinking that although their generation went to the mountains and countryside and was delayed for some time, the opportunities they got later were actually not bad.

　　Those ten years delayed a lot of people, but they immediately got educational opportunities. At this time, whether they were entering factories, government agencies, starting their own businesses, or even going abroad for further studies, there were not many people in front of them, and their own talents were out of the queue. There were many positions and opportunities. , so their generation has lost a lot and gained a lot.

　　By the time Gao Jun's son and his generation were better off, they had caught up.

　　But later on, all the pitfalls were occupied. With the market economy, people had to buy their own houses if they wanted to work in enterprises. There were fewer welfare houses, and life seemed to be hard.

　　Of course, they also have their opportunities. They have received a good education since they were young, have enough to eat and drink, and have never gone hungry. When they grow up, they can receive higher education. After graduation, they will receive high salaries. With the development of mobile phones and computers, everything has become informatized, and they can also access the Internet. . They have already enjoyed the informatization of the 21st century in their youth with the greatest creative potential, and will also be able to ride the wave of the times and experience and create things that they may not have the chance to see.

　　Most people eat, drink, and talk enthusiastically, and of course they also talk about the past. After drinking too much, they will inevitably think of the past, and finally toast together.

　　"They young people will never understand, nor will they understand the friendship between us. It is a friendship that has experienced life and death together. It is closer than family members!"

　　These words made everyone's eyes wet.

　　Yes, times have changed, and there will be more and more people who don't understand that era, why they can go both ways for their friends, and why they are so close to each other after so many years.

　　Only they themselves remember how they survived together in that bitter cold desert. The bitter cold and passion there made everyone's bones and blood forged together, becoming brothers and sisters without blood ties.

　　Wang Xinrui thought of the past and suddenly said: "Bean cake, ah, my favorite bean cake!"

　　When she said this, Chang Hui's eyes turned red: "Yes, I still remember the bean cakes we had that year. They were baked and eaten. They were so delicious!"

　　When Gu Shunhua heard this, he understood and looked at Ren Jingnian.

　　Others didn't know what was going on, but Wang Xinrui laughed: "Back then, Jing Nian was still the platoon leader, and he stole bean cakes for us to eat!"

　　When she said this, everyone laughed. In those days, everyone seemed to have stolen bean cakes.

　　Bean cakes are for feeding animals, but they can also fill your stomach. It tastes really delicious even if you are very hungry.

　　By this time, everything was really available, and some people asked the restaurant to serve bean cakes, saying that they wanted to eat bean cakes!

　　Some people even sang a song, singing the old song "Welcome - The Barefoot Doctor of the Corps".

　　"The moonlight was hazy, the horses' hooves were gentle, and the evening breeze carried bursts of singing. The singing echoed in the night sky over the grassland, and the singing plucked the heartstrings of the herdsmen.

　　Ahhhh----"

　　After the wedding, everyone had a good chat with Gao Jun and his wife, talking about the future. In fact, everyone advised them to just come to Beijing.

　　"Now it doesn't matter what the household registration is. It's not like before it was all planned supply. Now if you have money, you can do whatever you want!"

　　Everyone agreed that times have indeed changed. In the past, people were tied to their household registration and food supply, and their organizational ties were in one place. People could not leave at all, but that is no longer the case. You can go wherever you want.

　　However, Gao Jun and his wife didn't want to. They said they were used to it. Their friends and colleagues were all in Inner Mongolia and they didn't want to leave.

　　Hearing this, everyone remembered that Gao Jun also desperately wanted to leave. After more than 20 years, he was reluctant to leave if he could.

　　Gao Jun said with a smile: "I'm really used to it. I can't live without it. Let's just leave it like this and let the child wander outside on his own. The child is in Beijing and you will help take care of it. I feel relieved."

　　Everyone naturally agreed and said that Gao Jun's son was their son!

　　At one point, he mentioned that when we had time, we would go back to Inner Mongolia to see each other who had gone to the countryside and see their past lives. Gao Jun suddenly became interested, and everyone discussed it together, and even started to raise funds.

　　While talking like this, Gu Shunhua went to the bathroom in the middle. Who knew that after going out, he happened to see a person. Looking at the profile, he was tall and thin, and he looked familiar.

　　She didn't dare to recognize him, so she took a few more glances. The man happened to turn around, so she recognized him. Sure enough, it was Lu Wenqiao!

　　When Lu Wenqiao went to Germany, he thought he would come back in two years. Who knew that he never came back and stayed in Germany? After that, he married a German blond daughter-in-law and gave birth to two mixed-race children.

　　They were the group who went to Japan. They often got together and occasionally talked about Lu Wenqiao, so they knew about Lu Wenqiao.

　　Well, later on we established a penguin colony, and naturally Lu Wenqiao, who was far away from abroad, was also brought in, and we could chat with each other.

　　Gu Shunhua was also good friends with Lu Wenqiao, but he only said hello dryly. There was no need to say anything more, because across the Internet and after so many years, no one said anything more.

　　Of course, there is actually nothing to say.

　　Last month, Lu Wenqiao said that he planned to return to China. The Beijing Hotel invited him to come over. After coming over, he would be treated as a senior technician first, and after two years he would be an executive chef. He also missed home, so he wanted to bring his wife and children back.

　　Before, everyone had said that they would arrange a feast for him when the time came, but they didn't expect to see it all of a sudden, and they were also surprised.

　　Lu Wenqiao was silent for a moment, then walked forward and smiled: "Long time no see, you haven't changed much from before."

　　Gu Shunhua also smiled: "You haven't changed much. When did you come back? Why didn't you say anything?"

　　Lu Wenqiao: "After I came back, there were too many things going on at home, so I thought I'd settle down in a few days before talking to everyone, and get together then."

　　Gu Shunhua said: "Well, let's wait for you to settle down and have dinner together. Then bring your lover and children and let us take a look. Xiang Li also said that your family is of mixed race and must be very good-looking. !"

　　In fact, I have nothing to say, so I have to find something to talk about, otherwise I always feel a little embarrassed.

　　Especially after the two people added penguins, the silence and distance between them made this moment even more awkward. They were unprepared for the encounter, and they didn't even know what to say.

　　After hearing this, Lu Wenqiao smiled and said, "My wife and children are staying in Germany and will not come back for the time being. I will come back first."

　　Gu Shunhua was naturally surprised. He said they all came back together before.

　　Lu Wenqiao: "They are used to life in Germany, and they are not used to it when they come back. Besides, the children have to prepare for school speeches and exams. There is no time. The elderly at home are getting older. I can't stay abroad all the time. It's time to fulfill my filial piety." , so I came back first."

　　Gu Shunhua nodded: "Yes, that's right. At this time, the old man is getting older, so it's safer to keep him by his side."

　　Gu Quanfu is doing well now. He continues to teach at the cooking school, with only one class a week. He is a person supported by the cooking school. However, Chen Cuiyue is in very bad health. She is old and can't say that she has any serious problems, but there are various I have constant minor ailments, such as lumbar disc herniation, my heart is not doing well, and my blood pressure is high. Anyway, I have to go to the hospital from time to time.

　　If someone is outside and something happens to the old man, he may not be able to catch up. If he can't catch up, it's a minor problem, but if it's a big problem, he'll regret it for the rest of his life.

　　Lu Wenqiao: "Yes, that's why I'm worried, but it's impossible to take care of both ends. It's better to come back. As a child, you can't fulfill your filial piety in this life. It doesn't feel right to be abroad. Besides, I really want to return to China." , tired of staying abroad."

　　Gu Shunhua: "It's good to be back."

　　Lu Wenqiao said with a smile: "You are doing well now. I have heard of your name abroad. Speaking of which, our group of people is probably the best developed by you now."

　　Gu Shunhua: "I just rely on luck. No matter what you do, you have to face difficulties. It's very tiring to run this stall alone. It's like going to a big hotel to do it. The level of work is higher. How comfortable!"

　　As he was talking, Lei Yongquan and the others called for a group photo, and Gu Shunhua hurriedly spoke to Lu Wenqiao. Lu Wenqiao quickly said that you should go ahead, so Gu Shunhua went back first.

　　When taking the car home, Ren Jingnian asked, and Gu Shunhua told him about it. Ren Jingnian said, "His wife didn't come back with him. I guess the relationship between the couple is average."

　　Gu Shunhua: "That's none of our business. It's not easy to ask about other people's feelings. Anyway, we just listen to what they say."

　　Ren Jingnian smiled at her and said, "I didn't say anything, I just mentioned it casually."

　　Gu Shunhua was funny: "That's not true!"

　　To talk about what happened back then, in fact, almost twenty years have passed. They have already gotten married and had children. Even if their relationship is average now, there are many possible reasons, and it has nothing to do with me.

　　Over the years, I have seen a lot of people, including those who are getting rich, those who are divorced, those who raise Xiaomi, and even those who have a pretty face. Anyway, as couples, when they reach a certain age, they encounter this good day that is soaring like a rocket, and they sit on fire. If I can't stop, I don't know what to do, and I don't think anything will happen.

　　Of course, this may not be the reason for Lu Wenqiao, but this is still a cross-border marriage, and the details behind it are not something that ordinary people can explain clearly. His friends from many years ago are just one floor away from the boss, so it is even less possible for him to know the details behind it.

　　After that, Gu Shunhua didn't think much about it. Who knew that two weeks later, the group of friends who went to Japan together would finally gather together. Everyone ate and drank together. When they got high, Lu Wenqiao also mentioned it.

　　He said that he was indeed planning to divorce and that he would have one child each, and he would take one back to China when the time comes.

　　Why did they divorce? One was because their relationship had become indifferent. The other was that he wanted to return to his country. The German wife wanted to stay in Germany, but no one wanted to let her go. In the end, they got into trouble and simply went back to their respective countries.

　　Everyone advised him that he was still young and it would be the same if he returned to his country and found another one. For someone as rich, talented and handsome as you, what should you be afraid of?

　　Lu Wenqiao smiled: "Forget it, I don't want to think about it that much. I said I have settled down here these years, but in fact I still feel like a guest there. I want to return to my country. I am a very patriotic person. Now I can come back." Now, if I raise my children well, respect my elders, and do my job well, I will be satisfied."

　　Everyone naturally agreed, so they started talking about the diamond king, saying that you are the diamond king, and this is called cool!

　　With that said, I don't know how to mention Gu Shunhua, and everyone started making noises, saying that Gu Shunhua had published a book now and was already a writer. Everyone had to support her and get her autograph.

　　Gu Shunhua's books have indeed been published. There are already two books, both about food culture. The first one sold well after it was released, but the second one has just been released. I don't know how it will be.

　　After hearing this, she simply said: "You said I am a writer, so I can call myself a writer. I will bring it back later, sign it, and give each person a copy!"

　　Everyone laughed: "Okay, let's get your book and put it at the door of our hotel. Maybe we can get some of your talent!"

　　Gu Shunhua naturally responded. Anyway, she accepted all the compliments she received without any modesty.

　　In fact, everyone has been pretty good these years. Originally, I was a master in the 1980s. Now, as long as I am in good health, I will definitely become a master. Either go out to make a lot of money alone, or be praised as the CEO in a high-end hotel. Chef, every one walks out and everyone respects him.

　　It's just that I get together with my old friends, talk and laugh, it seems like I'm back to when I was young again and start joking around.

　　When everyone dispersed, Qian Xiangli and Gu Shunhua were traveling together. Qian Xiangli drank, but Gu Shunhua didn't, so he drove her off.

　　On the way, the two of them inevitably talked about Lu Wenqiao, and Qian Xiangli sighed: "He is actually too stubborn. He insists on returning to China. How good it is abroad now, with good welfare, which is much better than at home!"

　　Gu Shunhua: "It's not that the elders in his family are more conservative in their thinking, but they still want him to come back. I guess he is also under a lot of pressure in this regard."

　　Qian Xiangli: "It is said that when he got married to a foreigner, he was unhappy with his family. He wanted to get married and there was nothing the family could do."

　　Gu Shunhua also sighed when he thought about it.

　　Of course she couldn't help but wonder if Lu Wenqiao wouldn't have gone to Germany if she hadn't known him. Of course, there was a kind of funny narcissism and self-righteousness in this thought.

　　In fact, there is no such deep love and righteousness in this world. The good impression he had back then has long since disappeared in twenty years. Maybe he did have this idea when he left, but it will fade away in a few years.

　　At least now, when they meet again, they just talk politely about home affairs, without any extra words.

　　Qian Xiangli glanced at Gu Shunhua, and he could guess her thoughts: "You are right, you are not the one who asked him to marry a German beauty! In her wedding photos, she looked very high-spirited!"

　　Gu Shunhua then smiled: "Forget it, forget it, we have to have a meeting tomorrow!"

　　Qian Xiangli: "Well, go back to bed early."

　　There will be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the location selection for the company's thirty-fourth branch. There are many things to worry about.

　　Chapter 134 Extra: An old case

　　When Zhang Zhaoyun gave birth to her daughter that year, she suffered from dystocia and underwent a transverse cesarean section. After that, she suffered massive bleeding and almost died. Fortunately, she was able to turn the corner.

　　Because of this, I have been in poor health for the past few years. I have tried to think of ways to do it, but I am still weak and cannot be like before.

　　Gu Zhenhua felt very guilty about Zhang Zhaoyun, so he had been taking good care of her over the years, so much so that he tried his best to do as much as he could at home. Later, he was promoted to deputy director of the factory, and his family's conditions improved, and he even invited After getting the nanny, Zhang Zhaoyun was not allowed to do any work.

　　Also because of her health, Zhang Zhaoyun has not made much progress at work, she just goes to work. However, she likes painting at home. Her father collected many famous paintings and later gave them to her. She has read a lot and she is slow. I copied it slowly, but I actually copied it well.

　　Later, when she raised flowers and grass by herself, she began to paint flowers and plants. Over and over again, she gained a bit of a reputation and was in the newspapers. Her paintings were sold for probably several thousand yuan.

　　It's definitely not a big prospect, but Zhang Zhaoyun is content with it.

　　Gu Zhenhua has a good income and his family is not short of money. What Zhang Zhaoyun wants is that sense of satisfaction.

　　She sometimes laments, saying that when I was young, I had a fiery temper, but who knew that now I would cultivate myself and start painting. She said that when I was a child, I would get impatient whenever painting was mentioned.

　　Let's not say that in this life, one may not necessarily reach any step or encounter anything.

　　She came back from an art exhibition that day. It was quite hot, so she took a taxi. When she got out of the car, she opened her umbrella and was walking home when she saw someone in front of her. It was a strange man, about 10 years old. Over forty years old, tall and thick.

　　She saw that the other party seemed to want to talk to her, and she was a little confused.

　　The other party looked honest and dull. He walked forward and then said hesitantly: "Hello, are you Ms. Zhang?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Who are you?"

　　The other party quickly introduced himself: "My name is Tang Tiehui, and I am Miao Xiumei's lover!"

　　Miao Xiumei?

　　Zhang Zhaoyun was stunned and didn't want to come. He was thinking about you!

　　Tang Tiehui saw it and had no choice but to explain: "Miao Xiumei is your lover's ex-wife."

　　He quickly added: "It doesn't count his ex-wife, but they were married before to apply for a household registration!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun was stunned, and then he wondered: "Why are you looking for me?"

　　Miao Xiumei has disappeared from her memory for many years. She has no memory of this person or anything. She never expected that one day Miao Xiumei's lover would find her.

　　Tang Tiehui naturally felt embarrassed, but he still explained: "It's like this, wasn't there a case back then? When they went to the countryside, a man was strangled to death, and a woman jumped into the river."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun's memory suddenly became clear. She remembered this incident so well. She was worried about it at the time. After all, she was severely punished and she didn't dare to have anything to do with this kind of thing!

　　Unexpectedly, after the New Year, the matter came up again!

　　She was surprised: "What do you mean? What do you want from me? What happened to this case?"

　　Tang Tiehui: "A few days ago, Xiumei was taken away. The Public Security Bureau said that she was suspected to be a suspect."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Suspect?"

　　Tang Tiehui became a little excited: "Yes! Xiumei is such a good person, but they actually suspected Xiumei as a suspect. Xiumei usually doesn't even dare to kill chickens. She said killing is not good. How could it be possible? But now, she is cold and cold. I was arrested and I couldn't get any news, so I don't know what to do!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Then ask the Public Security Bureau. We are a socialist society with a sound legal system. How did the Public Security Bureau investigate and what evidence is there? You have to ask the Public Security Bureau. If you ask me, I don't know!"

　　Tang Tiehui: "I asked, but nothing came out. Now we need evidence, so the Public Security Bureau asked your lover Gu Zhenhua to testify, but he said he didn't know. How could he not know? He just didn't want to testify for Xiumei." , we need a witness now, an alibi witness! Without a witness, Xiumei may be wrongly accused!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Since you want to find him, then if you go find him, it's useless even if you tell me!"

　　Tang Tiehui: "I beg you, Ms. Zhang, please help me. My son is getting married soon, my daughter has just graduated and is on a blind date. There are a lot of things in my family. If something happens to Xiumei, then my family will What should we do about this!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Please don't stop me. If anything happens, just go to him. I can't be his master."

　　She believed that her husband, since he said he didn't know, he didn't know. He would never go out of his way to say he didn't know because he had a grudge against someone. This was not what he would do.

　　Since I don't know, how could I give you perjury just because you came to ask for it?

　　Tang Tiehui's eyes were red, and he begged: "Ms. Zhang, Xiumei is a good person, her life is not easy, I beg you, help her, since they were husband and wife, they should know something, let Comrade Gu think carefully I want to see how I can help us. If we are wronged, how will we live our lives?"

　　As he spoke, he knelt down with a pop.

　　Zhang Zhaoyun quickly backed away. She really couldn't bear this kind of gift!

　　At this time, there were already people around, all watching and pointing.

　　Tang Tiehui: "Ms. Zhang, please, I really have no choice -"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "No, no, no, don't do this. The Public Security Bureau will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it let a bad person go. We can't testify for you randomly. If you don't know, you just don't know. It's useless even if you kneel down!"

　　With that said, she turned around and walked back. She didn't want to pay attention to these people. Who were these people? They were morally kidnapped!

　　Just at this time, Gu Zhenhua came back. When he saw this scene, he became angry. He stepped forward and pointed at Tang Tiehui and said: "Tang Tiehui, let me tell you, my wife is not in good health. Don't harass my wife. If you harass my wife, Do you believe that I will call the police directly? If my wife is frightened by you, I will never be done with you!"

　　With that said, he shook Zhang Zhaoyun's hand and hurriedly escorted him home.

　　After returning home and turning on the air conditioner, he poured Zhang Zhaoyun another glass of water and then asked, "Are you okay? Didn't I scare you?"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun held the water and drank it slowly. In fact, she was not frightened, and her health was not as bad as he thought. She had recovered a long time ago.

　　It's just that he seems to have a habit of thinking that she is weak and that she is weak.

　　She was also happy to enjoy his care, which was quite useful.

　　She drank water and said: "It's okay, just tell me. What happened? He came to you? He didn't listen to what you said to me."

　　Gu Zhenhua: "I originally thought about not mentioning this messy matter to you, so as to save you the worry."

　　After all, because he was involved in this case, Zhang Zhaoyun was worried a lot because he was looking for connections in various ways. If she knew about it now, he would not think about it too much, so he decided not to mention it at all.

　　Who knew that Tang Tiehui would actually find her!

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "When the Public Security Bureau came to us, they mainly suspected you. Why don't they suspect you now, but they actually suspect her? And this case has been around for many years, more than 20 years ago, so why did it suddenly start again?"

　　Gu Zhenhua: "I actually don't know the details. I also heard someone say that there is an old house in the village, which was the office of the production brigade. No one has lived in it for a long time. It collapsed due to heavy rain this year. So they simply flattened it for greening, but when they were repairing it, they found a piece of cloth with blood on it in the crack of the wall. They checked the piece of cloth and found that it should be a handkerchief, and the handkerchief belonged to Miao Xiumei."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun was puzzled when he heard this: "Is this really related to her? Why do I sound so scared and panicked!"

　　Gu Zhenhua: "Originally it was just a handkerchief, so I don't have to think it was her. She could also say that the woman borrowed her handkerchief. But at this time, the deputy captain at the time came forward and said that he saw it at that time. I saw a figure who seemed to be Miao Xiumei, but at that time, he happened to be in a relationship with a widow. If he came out to testify, he was afraid that people would ask why he ran out at that time. It would be difficult to explain, and he was afraid of being involved, so he didn't dare to say anything. ."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Is it really her? I'm scared when I hear it. I've teased her before. What if it's her and she didn't kill me? How lucky am I?"

　　Gu Zhenhua: "Who knows, anyway, the Public Security Bureau now suspects her, and her husband Tang Tiehui wants me to testify, but I happened to be discussing with other educated youths about returning to the city at the time, and I was not at home. I don't know if she had gone out. "

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "I know you really don't know. You have to know that it is impossible not to testify for others. That Tang Tiehui also has a brain problem. He has to kneel down to beg. Others don't know what he is begging for, and what can be done for him. Perjury?"

　　Gu Zhenhua: "Their family is living a good life now. Their house was demolished. I heard they lost four houses and were given another three million. At least they don't have to worry about it in this life. Now their son is getting married and his daughter is also talking about a partner. , It was a good life, and he definitely didn't want anything to happen, so he thought begging would be useful. Now that he knows where our family lives, we will live somewhere else recently and wait until this matter is over to avoid him harassing us again. "

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Okay, but I might as well live at Shunhua's place. Didn't they just move to a new courtyard house recently? I think it's well-organized and I like it very much. I just happened to hang out with her. If we move to a house in Haidian, It's quite boring for just the two of us to live there. It's a cold place and we have to clean it up."

　　Gu Zhenhua: "Okay, let's call Shunhua right away."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun and Gu Shunhua have always had a good relationship. The two sisters are very close. There are some things that Zhang Zhaoyun doesn't want to say to Gu Zhenhua, but he will mention them to Gu Shunhua.

　　Now when Gu Zhenhua told Gu Shunhua, Gu Shunhua naturally raised his hands and agreed: "We just moved. There are quite a lot of rooms here. I will pack up one for you right away."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Don't be so troublesome. You don't have to clean it up specially. If your parents don't live in the room you prepared for your parents before, don't I just benefit from it now? I'll just live in that room. It's good!"

　　Gu Shunhua smiled: "Okay, come over quickly, let's eat delicious food together!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun became excited when he mentioned eating: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

　　Gu Shunhua now owns a restaurant, and is not short of money or resources. His biggest hobby all day long is thinking about delicious food. However, Zhang Zhaoyun's biggest hobby is tasting delicious food. The two sisters have hit it off, and they get together every day. Just eat, eat, eat.

　　Fortunately, both of them are physically capable of not getting fat no matter how much they eat, otherwise they would probably have to worry about losing weight.

　　Gu Shunhua said this time that there was something delicious. Zhang Zhaoyun went over to take a look and found that it was really delicious.

　　The main dish was plain chicken.

　　The key to this white-cut chicken is not the cooking skills, but the chicken. The chickens on the market now are either native chickens raised at home, or chickens raised on feed. Naturally, Gu Shunhua Restaurant does not use those feed chickens, so Things just ruined her cooking skills, she always used free-range chicken.

　　But this time, her white-cut chicken is more exquisite than the ordinary domestic chicken. It is a chicken that is specially fed with distiller's grains and meat worms from the wild. The chicken tastes particularly delicious and tender. Chickens are fed for 16 to 18 months. If the time is short, they will not gain weight. If the time is long, they will lose weight. Just blanch the chicken in boiling water to make boiled chicken. The taste will be amazing. It doesn't require much cooking skills. It will be delicious no matter how you make it.

　　This is also a self-owned farm specially built by Gu Shunhua himself. The first batch of chickens raised have not yet been sold in restaurants. He tastes them first and lets Zhang Zhaoyun, a gourmet, check them first.

　　After the plain-cut chicken was served, Zhang Zhaoyun repeatedly praised: "This is the most delicious chicken I have ever eaten in my life!"

　　This chicken tastes really good. The key is that the chicken is raised well. Such a good chicken and Gu Shunhua's craftsmanship are amazing!

　　After he had eaten and drank enough, Zhang Zhaoyun thought about visiting the courtyard of Gu Shunhua's house. The third courtyard was much more luxurious than before, and it was antique. There were ponds, bamboos, fountains, and parking spaces in the courtyard.

　　She praised repeatedly: "You are living a capitalist life! You are better than the princes in the past!"

　　Gu Shunhua sighed with a smile: "Times have changed, and what we enjoy may not be enjoyed by the prince. How does the prince know what a light phone is, how does he know about the penguins on the Internet, and how does he know about airplanes and subways!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he also sighed: "I remembered that when we were young, we used to talk about electric lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs. Now we don't care about the building anymore. Electric lights and telephones are also a daily necessity."

　　At that time, you would inevitably feel that it was a lie, it couldn't be that good, but now the results are there.

　　Life is changing with each passing day, and no one can imagine where they will go!

　　Gu Shunhua nodded: "Well, yes, Duoduo said a few days ago that she really wanted to watch TV when she was a child, but she had to go to bed early and there was a power outage. She was lying there thinking, if there was a small TV, she would be able to watch TV. It would be nice for her to sleep and lie there watching it. At that time, this was just a child's dream. How could it be possible? The TV had to have an antenna and it was so big. How could it be possible for her to hold it? But now it's better. There was a competition a few days ago. I visited a science and technology exhibition last year and there really was this thing. It was so big, not much bigger than a book. It was just like a computer and could play TV videos. It was really similar to what she had imagined when she was a child!"

　　The two were chatting and laughing, and had afternoon tea again. Only then did Zhang Zhaoyun tell Gu Shunhua about Miao Xiumei.

　　Sure enough, Gu Shunhua was shocked: "It's really her, isn't it? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun moved his eyebrows and sighed: "When I came here, as soon as I saw your plain-cut chicken, I felt that I can't let you eat plain-cut chicken just like this, which will affect your mood. Let's wait until we finish eating; wait until we finish eating It's over, I think I need to let you digest it, so I'd better wait until after the walk."

　　Gu Shunhua took a sip of tea and said, "Now you're also spoiling my tea."

　　This is good tea!

　　Zhang Zhaoyun burst out laughing: "Yeah, I said it anyway."

　　Gu Shunhua: "No wonder you came here in such a hurry. It's okay. You stay here with me for the past two days. I have a nanny and a driver at home. If he dares to come, he will definitely be driven around without food."

　　The two of them were talking like this, and Gu Shunhua asked about the situation in detail, which made him feel even more horrified.

　　She sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with us. Let's just wait and see what the final result will be."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "I don't know what your brother's fate is and what he has provoked. Fortunately, he met me. I often tell him that when he met me, you have accumulated blessings for eight lifetimes!"

　　Gu Shunhua laughed: "That's not true! But it's your ability to transform my brother well. My brother was a lump before. Look at him now, he is actually quite capable. He is thoughtful in everything and has a way of doing things and speaking. His career has been developing well over the years, but I didn't expect him to reach this point. I always thought that he would just become a senior technician and just hang out."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "If you praise me like this again, I'm going to drift off."

　　Gu Shunhua even smiled and said: "It's supposed to be floating. By the way, sister-in-law, my new store is about to open. I'll have to trouble you to draw a picture for me later to support my appearance!"

　　Zhang Zhaoyun: "Okay, tell me what you want in detail later, and I will draw it for you when I have time."

　　Zhang Zhaoyun just settled in, and Gu Zhenhua also came over after get off work. They lived in the old house that had been prepared for Gu Quanfu and Chen Cuiyue. In the evening, everyone had dinner together and even played mahjong at a table, which was a steal for half a day.

　　As for the matter of Miao Xiumei, I naturally asked someone to inquire about it. At first I couldn't hear any news, but after a few days, I gradually learned some inside information.

　　It is said that Miao Xiumei's family also had connections. After all, she is a local and has worked in a factory for so many years. She must have connections in all aspects, but it turns out that all the connections are in vain.

　　It was said that high technology was used and some DNA was tested. Anyway, the information relayed by others was not accurate. It roughly meant that, and Miao Xiumei finally admitted it.

　　In fact, she really didn't kill him, but she really couldn't escape the relationship.

　　When Gu Zhenhua wanted to return to the city, everyone was from Beijing and could go back. It was originally a fake marriage. Once the marriage was divorced, everyone could just go back to their own homes.

　　But Miao Xiumei didn't want to. She wanted to follow Gu Zhenhua to apply for Dashilan household registration, so Gu Zhenhua agreed. After all, he had helped her ninety-nine steps, and the last step could not help her.

　　Miao Xiumei was naturally happy because of this, but who knew that it was unfortunate that when she was discussing this matter with Gu Zhenhua, the captain happened to overhear it.

　　That day when Miao Xiumei was working, she was targeted by the team leader. It means that I know your secret. You faked your marriage just to avoid me. Since you faked your marriage, you can't do anything about me now. He Gu Zhenhua can't care.

　　Miao Xiumei was anxious and hurriedly ran away. Unexpectedly, the team leader said that he wanted to tell the story about Miao Xiumei stealing brown rice from the team. Miao Xiumei was threatened by him, so she had to slow down her strategy and stabilize him first.

　　It was a coincidence that that day, another young woman named Chen happened to be going to the brigade to submit a marriage application report. The brigade captain became sexually promiscuous and bullied Comrade Chen.

　　When Comrade Chen was bullied, Miao Xiumei happened to be thinking about going over to the brigade leader to settle the matter, so she saw it clearly.

　　Comrade Chen was so ashamed and angry that he begged Miao Xiumei not to spread the news. Miao Xiumei wanted to take advantage of this matter to prevent the brigade captain from causing trouble for her, so she threatened Comrade Chen that the matter must be spread out and asked Comrade Chen to sue the brigade captain. If something goes wrong, you won't have time to bite yourself.

　　Comrade Chen is not willing to do this. In rural areas, if something like this happens to a woman, her life will be over. That means forcing her to die.

　　During the dispute between the two women, the captain came, broke up, and threatened the two women. Miao Xiumei wanted to escape from her shell and leave herself alone. Comrade Chen was desperate and aggrieved. He felt that he was being bullied by the two people, so he took a knife out of shame and anger. .

　　In the end, there was chaos. I don't know what happened anyway. The captain died.

　　When they got here, Comrade Chen said it was Miao Xiumei who killed him, and Miao Xiumei said it was Comrade Chen. The two almost got into a fight, but in the end they both calmed down and decided to bury the brigade leader secretly together so that no one would know.

　　This is obviously the best result for both of them. After all, if the incident spreads, even if they can blame the other party, their own reputation will be ruined. Comrade Chen will not be able to get married, and Miao Xiumei will not be able to return to the city.

　　Fortunately, it was winter and the weather was cold, so there was no smell after hiding it. It took the two women three or four days to finally hide the dead captain.

　　After hiding it, it was no longer a problem.

　　As for why Comrade Chen jumped into the river, Miao Xiumei naturally refused to admit it: "How did I know that she was the one who killed the man? I helped her bury the body, but who knew she jumped into the river later!"

　　This case has become an open case, mainly because there are no extra witnesses, and it is impossible to tell whether it was Miao Xiumei who killed him or the dead Comrade Chen.

　　Later, for some reason, the case spread like wildfire and caused an uproar on the Internet. Many people began to study this murder case that had been buried in dust for more than 20 years.

　　Some people even presented various evidence analysis on the forum, and the analysis was quite convincing.

　　Finally, after various analyzes and reasoning of the details at the time by the police officers handling the case, they concluded that it was indeed not Miao Xiumei who held the knife at that time, but Comrade Chen who jumped into the river.

　　As for Comrade Chen jumping into the river, it seems that he was mentally stimulated by this incident.

　　However, Miao Xiumei could not escape the relationship. In this incident, she played a supporting role and was regarded as an accessory. In the end, the court sentenced her to six years, and the matter was finally settled.

　　After the news came, everyone was inevitably a little sad, but that was it. After all, this person had nothing to do with them twenty years ago.

　　Only Gu Shunhua felt emotional and lucky when he thought about the past.

　　She realized more clearly that in this vast universe, in some several-dimensional space that maybe she didn't know, or in other words, on the countless roads chosen in life, there was such a space, such a fork in the road, her own My brother never returned to the city from the countryside, so he stayed there, taking the blame for others, or something else happened.

　　Because it is too easy to get into trouble during a certain period. No one will doubt a weak and kind-hearted woman. The first thing everyone will suspect is a hot-blooded man.

　　She didn't know what changed everything, but looking at the smiling faces of her brother and sister-in-law, she was still grateful for everything.

　　At a fork in the road in life, by chance, they walked towards the happiest road.

　　Chapter 135 Extra Bowl

　　It was a day in the twelfth lunar month, and the cold wind was blowing. Gu Shunhua and Ren Jingnian were about to go to bed after taking a shower. Gu Yuehua suddenly called and said that Grandma Tong was not alive.

　　When Gu Shunhua heard this, he quickly asked and found out that he was at Union Hospital. He immediately got up and got dressed.

　　Ren Jingnian also quickly packed up, put on his clothes and went out to get ready to drive.

　　There is a driver at home, but it is too late at this time, and I don't want to disturb others anymore, so I just drive there myself.

　　Gu Shunhua knew that Ren Jingnian had an important press conference tomorrow, so he said: "I'll drive there myself. You can go to sleep quickly. If you can't sleep, you will have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."

　　Ren Jingnian didn't say anything, but he had already put on his coat neatly.

　　Seeing this, Gu Shunhua didn't say anything. She quickly opened the drawer, took out her bank card and wallet and stuffed them into her bag, and then hurried out.

　　At this time, the sound of a car starting in the parking lot was heard, and soon Ren Jingnian drove out.

　　Duoduo and Manman are not at home today, and the nanny is probably sleeping soundly. They are the only ones at home today, so they won't disturb anyone.

　　It was indeed cold outside. The dead leaves in the alley were blown by the wind and hit the car glass. Gu Shunhua felt that the day was cold, gloomy, and terrifyingly dark. She looked at Ren Jingnian in the driver's seat next to her, and she felt a little dazed. In a trance, she returned to thirty years ago, when she was only a teenager, and he drove a truck through the roaring yellow sand in the sky.

　　Ren Jingnian, who was holding the steering wheel, felt her confusion and said warmly: "It shouldn't be anything bad. Isn't this already at Concord? Concord has many experts and there is no shortage of money. We will definitely give you the best plan. Use it." The best imported medicine."

　　Gu Shunhua nodded randomly: "Yes."

　　But I understand in my heart that Grandma Tong is already very old, and it is estimated that no matter how good the doctor is, it will be difficult for her to do anything.

　　Leaving me at this age is considered a joy and a loss.

　　In fact, not only Grandma Tong, but also her own parents, who are now over seventy, have to be more careful. The elderly must be carefully taken care of, so that nothing can go wrong. A single illness may not make it through.

　　It's one thing to understand it in your heart, but another thing to be able to accept it emotionally.

　　Master Pan passed away very peacefully last year, and Gu Duoer didn't cry much, but she has been in a bad mood since then, and she must still miss him.

　　In the past two years, Gu Duo'er has been very attentive to Grandma Tong, for fear that Grandma Tong will be like Master Pan, but who knows, she may not be able to survive today. Looking at it now, she won't be able to survive for much longer.

　　The car drove out of the alley and turned a corner, and the eyes brightened up. Even in the cold winter months, the night view of the city was gorgeous and colorful. Gu Shunhua leaned slightly on the backrest, looked at the glowing light outside the window through the glass, and waited quietly.

　　The car quickly shuttled through the night, and when it arrived at the small alley north of the hospital, it happened to encounter an ambulance. The harsh sound reached the ears, making people's hearts shrink.

　　Ren Jingnian raised his hand and gently shook Gu Shunhua's.

　　Gu Shunhua: "It's nothing. Let's go and have a look."

　　In fact, I accept it intellectually, but the hardest thing is to face it.

　　Ren Jingnian quickly found a parking space. After parking the car, Ren Jingnian held Gu Shunhua's hand and hurried to the emergency department. Like most places in Beijing in this era, Union Hospital is also expanding. Next to the parking lot is the standing Cranes in the dark and unfinished buildings covered with dark green protective nets.

　　The two of them walked into the quaint old building, making phone calls as they walked in. Knowing that they had been admitted to the ICU, they hurried over.

　　There were not many people in the long corridor outside the ICU. There were two people huddled on the bench next to them, not Gu Yuehua and Gu Duoer.

　　When he looked again, he saw Gu Duoer sitting there blankly at the corner in front, accompanied by Gu Yuehua.

　　After Gu Yuehua and Gu Duoer got married, they gave birth to a son. He is now twenty years old. He was admitted to Renmin University of China and is still studying and living on campus.

　　Over the years, Gu Yuehua has worked with Ren Jingnian, in charge of production and manufacturing. Now Ren Jingnian's business has grown bigger. Factories have spread all over Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Wuhan, and there are also factories in Mexico and India. Gu Yuehua is responsible for establishing these. Said that Gu Yuehua made great contributions to expanding Huajing Group's business territory.

　　Of course, his wealth has also continued to expand with the expansion of Huajing Group.

　　As for Gu Duoer, her career has expanded from the hairdressing industry to beauty care and other industries, and she has even developed her own essential oil cosmetics brand. In the past two years, she has gained a good reputation, has good sales, and has a successful career.

　　However, the two people are just like that, they have been fighting and fighting. After twenty years of ups and downs, as the wealth of both parties has increased dramatically, and both of them are busy with their careers, there seems to be some problems in their relationship. Guduoer said a while ago that they want to marry each other. When it comes to divorce, now that everyone is a successful entrepreneur, we have to consider the impact of many things, including our son, and whether we should continue to persist.

　　As for Gu Yuehua, it was nothing. He felt that his life was just like this, what else could he do.

　　Gu Shunhua asked. In fact, neither of them cheated, but their relationship was indeed indifferent and not as passionate as before.

　　It sounds like a headache. I don't know what the fuss between these two people is about. Can't they live peacefully?

　　Gu Shunhua, who had rushed over now, saw two people standing close together in the corridor outside the desolate ICU, with confusion and anxiety in their eyes.

　　When Gu Duoer saw Gu Shunhua, tears fell.

　　Gu Shunhua hurriedly hugged her, and Gu Duoer lay in her arms and cried: "I have always said that I would take her abroad. The conditions abroad are good, she can take good care of her body, and the air is good, but she doesn't want to, so just say Stay in the country and say that the country is good."

　　Gu Shunhua didn't have much to say. In fact, Gu Duoer didn't need her to say anything, she just wanted to talk.

　　Gu Duo'er said a lot, and she regretted that she couldn't take good care of Grandma Tong, saying that she couldn't take good care of her.

　　The sound of her swallowing faintly echoed in the dimly lit corridor.

　　The three people present didn't say anything. Everyone knew that she was already attentive enough, and everyone was already very attentive. It's just that people are getting older, and they will eventually leave one day.

　　Grandma Tong is considered a very long-lived person, and she has no serious illnesses. Compared with many people of her generation, she is already very lucky to die at the end of her life.

　　At three o'clock in the morning, Gu Yuehua ran outside and bought hot milk tea and bread, giving a cup each to Ren Jingnian and Gu Shunhua, and to Gu Duo'er.

　　Gu Duo'er naturally refused to drink and couldn't drink it.

　　Gu Yuehua frowned: "You haven't eaten much since last night, your lips are split!"

　　Saying that, he put his arms around Gu Duo'er's shoulders and wanted to feed her.

　　Gu Duo'er actually didn't think much about it, but Gu Yuehua insisted, so Gu Duo'er reluctantly took a few sips.

　　After a few sips and something to eat, Gu Duoer leaned into Gu Yuehua's arms and said nothing.

　　Gu Shunhua drank the milk tea slowly, but she was thinking in her heart that she said she had no feelings anymore. She didn't know exactly what happened, but looking at it like this, it wouldn't be completely gone. It was just that they were getting older and they were too busy. , they just kind of ignored each other.

　　But for now, when something happens, I'm still very good at my core.

　　Yuehua's concern for Guduoer can be seen, and Guduoer is also dependent on Yuehua.

　　They drank milk tea in silence and ate some bread. The four of them didn't say anything anymore. They just stayed and waited until about four o'clock in the morning. A staff member from the ICU came out and asked about their immediate family members, Guduo. The son quickly stood up.

　　At this time, it comes to the formulation of a treatment plan, whether to choose to continue to live without quality or to no longer suffer.

　　The four people looked at each other. Having reached this point in their career can be considered an achievement. Usually, decisions may involve hundreds of millions of yuan. But now, in this deserted and bleak corridor, in front of the precious life given to mankind by nature. , they are all fish, so helpless and wandering.

　　In the end, Gu Duo'er said, "Let Grandma Tong decide by herself."

　　Of course, she said, none of the four people present were actually related by blood to Grandma Tong. Relatively speaking, she was the granddaughter adopted by Master Pan, and Master Pan was with Grandma Tong again, so she was the one who could best The one who calls the shots.

　　Everyone looked at the nurse. The nurse said that she wanted to discuss with the leader. Seeing this, Ren Jingnian also came over and talked about it. In the end, they didn't know how to talk. They could go in, but only two people could go in.

　　After everyone discussed it, Gu Shunhua and Gu Duoer went in.

　　The two of them put on sterile clothes and walked into the ICU. When they saw Grandma Tong lying on the hospital bed, Gu Shunhua's eyes became wet.

　　Grandma Tong was obviously waiting for them. Seeing them, she managed to smile, which made Gu Shunhua even more sad.

　　But he didn't dare to get close, so he could only stand by the bed and talk.

　　Grandma Tong held on and said in a weak voice: "No need for ICU, no need for treatment. I have lived a good life and don't want to suffer..."

　　She said this for a reason. She had seen some old people leaving the courtyard and lived in the ICU for a while. She didn't know how much they suffered. At such an old age, no one could get out of the ICU.

　　Guduoer hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

　　Grandma Tong smiled and said, "Go back. I've told you everything you need to explain. It's just in the box at the end of my kang. When the time comes, you can open it and do as I say."

　　When she said this, her strength was already very light. She must have been tired after that and closed her eyes.

　　Grandma Tong passed away at six o'clock in the morning the next day. In fact, if she dragged it on, she could have delayed it for a few more days, but it was really meaningless. She was old enough, and if she dragged her on any longer, she would just suffer.

　　Whether or not ICU should continue to be treated, regardless of money, you also have to consider whether you can tolerate it or not.

　　Fortunately, Grandma Tong was smiling when she left. It seemed that she was not in any pain. This made Gu Duoer and Gu Shunhua not so sad. They supported and comforted each other and began to take care of Grandma Tong's funeral.

　　Of course, the funeral must be done well. Grandma Tong is very particular about people. She is from the older generation, and she does it according to the old rules and traditions, and does it lively.

　　All the young people in the courtyard have come back one after another. After so many years, Grandma Tong has watched everyone grow up. Grandma Tong is the memory shared by everyone. Now the eldest old man is gone.

　　People even said that everything that used to be in the courtyard seemed to have gone with it.

　　In this desolate atmosphere, everyone held a funeral for Grandma Tong together.

　　After it was done, the ashes of Grandma Tong and Master Pan were put together, and the two old people were together forever from now on, which was considered complete.

　　After burying Grandma Tong and Master Pan, Gu Shunhua was a little worried about Gu Duo'er, but looking at Gu Duo'er's condition, it was actually not bad.

　　The two of them were talking that day, and Gu Duo'er said to Gu Shunhua, "We have nothing to be sad about. We are just happy and mourning. Grandma Tong was content before she left. I think it's okay."

　　He said for a moment: "Yuehua and I have actually had some conflicts in recent years. You know, after all, both of us have some wild ideas and are not practical enough. But now, after we chatted, we have regained the feeling of the past. After reflecting on my own problems, I now think that as we age, we have to live well, live down-to-earth, and take good care of our bodies. I hope that when we are old, we can be buried together happily like Master Pan and Grandma Tong. ."

　　Gu Shunhua: "I'm relieved if you think so. Speaking of which, we are not young anymore. We should really think about it, take care of our bodies and live well every day. That is the most serious thing."

　　Gu Duo'er: "Yes, Yuehua said that I should not be too busy with my career. He also plans to slow down. Now that the child is in college, he is busy and has no time to talk to us. The two of us should spend more time with the old man and take care of him. Let's go traveling together with the old man, and free up time for us to live a happy life together. He said that a lot of time has been wasted in these years, and we should cherish the time in the future. I think so too, and this is what I will do in terms of career. Now, when Nan Nan graduates, I will let him take over, and I may retire early."

　　Gu Shunhua didn't say anything after hearing this. In fact, she knew that Gu Duoer's temperament was the kind that couldn't rest. If she said this now, it was just because she had experienced separation between life and death in the past two years and was a little depressed. When she recovered, she would probably It's full of life again.

　　She has the kind of temperament that can make a nursing home for the elderly.

　　As the two of them were talking like this, they remembered Grandma Tong's will. They happened to be cleaning up the house that day, so they found it. It was a mahogany box. After opening it, they saw the writing inside, which was Grandma Tong's calligraphy, "人老" , there is a little trembling in the handwriting, I guess my health was not good when I wrote it.

　　It mentioned her whole life, saying that she was content, saying that she had gone from the Republic of China period, which was full of artillery fire, to the new China, and just watched the new China gradually grow. She said that she saw the lights and telephones, and she saw the upstairs and downstairs. The most beautiful twenty years of her life were when she and Mr. Pan moved a small horse and stayed in the courtyard, watching the children in the courtyard laughing and playing, watching them grow up, and watching them fly out with full wings. In the large courtyard, I watched them go to their own positions in life, realize their own value, and see the vastness of the world.

　　Everything she got and everything she didn't get, the younger generation got, and she was satisfied.

　　Compared to her peers, she lives a decent life.

　　She said she was gone, so don't be sad, and she didn't want to go through the trouble of medical treatment. It would be good to die like this. She said you are still young, live a good life, and don't think about me.

　　Finally, Grandma Tong said that she knew that Shunhua had helped her pay 4,500 yuan back then, and that she knew she owed Shunhua, and she was also grateful to Gu Duoer for taking care of her over the years.

　　She has no children of her own, but Shunhua Guduoer is like her own granddaughter.

　　She planned to leave the bungalow in the courtyard to Gu Duo'er, the bowl to Shun Hua, and the rest of the jewelry to the two sisters.

　　"No matter how much it is, just leave it in your thoughts."

　　The two of them looked at the handwriting on the will for a while, but they didn't cry. They just sat there and talked about their childhood together.

　　Gu Duo'er is an orphan, living on the street, picking up coal cores outside the power plant. She is very small, and often fights with a group of children to grab territory. After being brought back by Master Pan, Master Pan is naturally nice to her, but he is an old man after all. Gu Duoer longed for care from older women, while Gu Shunhua was not taken seriously when she was a child. Both little girls once regarded Grandma Tong's hut as the warmest place.

　　This is the most beautiful touch of warmth in their childhood.

　　Looking at Grandma Tong's words now, I feel relieved. While the old man was alive, they had done what they could to give the old man a peaceful and prosperous old age. This was enough.

　　So the two people opened the hidden compartment of the box and dug out the old suitcase. After rummaging through it, they found quite a lot of stuff, many of which were quite old.

　　The two of them divided it up without any fuss. Those things were old and no one would sell them even if they were valuable. It was just a thought. As for the bowl, Gu Duoer found it and gave it to Gu Shunhua.

　　"It's this bowl again. It's been coming and going for decades. There are so many things going on in this bowl!"

　　When she said this, she also thought of Chen Lu. Chen Lu was really damaged by this bowl. Later, she was still thinking about it and wanted to snatch it, but she didn't get it in the end.

　　Gu Shunhua held the bowl carefully and nodded: "Chen Lu is also obsessed with this bowl, but in the end it was not her share."

　　They haven't heard anything about Chen Lu for a long time. The last time they heard, they heard that she owed a lot of debt and wanted to jump off a building, but failed. Then she went to work in Shenzhen. As for what happened next, they I no longer know.

　　Chen Yaotang got cancer a few years ago and looked for Chen Lu everywhere, but Chen Lu didn't come back either and couldn't be found.

　　Some people said that she worked as a concubine for foreigners, and went abroad with a wealthy family. Others said that she seemed to be in jail for reselling cultural relics for speculation, and so on, but no one was too lazy to care about it.

　　The two men tidied the room and locked the door.

　　People are gone, but they still have to do the mundane things they should do. There are rumors that this area is going to be demolished, so you still have to take a will and implement it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be afraid of fetching water with a bamboo basket. The house will be lost in vain, and Grandma Tong's heart will be let down. So Guduoer had to go to the housing management office to transfer the ownership of the house.

　　As for Gu Shunhua, he divided some jewelry and took the bowl back home.

　　After returning home, I naturally talked to Ren Jingnian about Gu Yuehua and Gu Duoer, and how their relationship seemed to have recovered.

　　Ren Jingnian: "Both of these two are too busy. They basically work on their own business. Their children are not around. They interact too little and gradually fade away. But there is nothing to say about Yuehua's character. He must not have anyone outside." , Gu Duoer is not this kind of person, and the emotional foundation is all there. What happened this time is an opportunity. I can put aside many things and get back together."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Yes, I feel relieved that they are like this. Otherwise, no matter what happens, a divorce will be traumatic."

　　While talking, the two of them looked at the bowl.

　　In fact, there is really no shortage now, nothing is lacking. Because of Zhang Zhaoyun's relationship, I have also accumulated some old gadgets, so I don't miss a bowl. But this one is different after all. It is the memory of many past events in the courtyard.

　　After putting away the bowl, the two of them lay on the bed, listening to the sound of wind and snow outside the window, and actually talked about many things in the past.

　　Gu Shunhua then talked about the so-called book. Unlike before, Ren Jingnian had no doubts this time.

　　Many years ago, when Chen Lu showed her knowledge of computers, he began to doubt it. However, he was a born materialist and did not think about metaphysical issues. Instead, he thought from a scientific perspective, even Over the years, I have been looking for relevant scientific theoretical support.

　　So he finally expressed his thoughts: "I have read many books on time and space. A few years ago, a theory was proposed abroad about eleven dimensions. In this theoretical system, the extension of time is mentioned from the fifth dimension. sex, extending from any point on the time axis of the four-dimensional space, so that you can see multiple possibilities for the future. You can travel through parallel universes in the nine-dimensional space, and time is even useless here. If you follow this theory, maybe What Chen Lu writes in the book is just a distortion of one of the parallel spaces..."

　　But he quickly frowned: "But if it is just an ordinary parallel space, I don't believe it. No matter what space I am in or what latitude I am, I will not do such a thing, right? So the plot in that book , or nothing, unless the person she wrote about is not me at all."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Actually, I have thought about my brother's matter and feel that there is another possibility."

　　From this incident, she suspected that in another parallel space that may exist, his brother did not return to Beijing, and then something happened during the severe crackdown, so Chen Lu did not know the existence of her brother at all. This information was in Chen Lu There is none there.

　　That book was written by Chen Lu. She didn't know it, so of course she didn't write it.

　　Ren Jingnian agreed: "The universe is vast, and we are just tiny humans. There are many possibilities for the development of things. No wonder others say that the end of science is theology."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Yeah, but we don't have to think too much. Anyway, Chen Lu has left our lives long ago. No matter what parallel space, or the mysteries of the universe, or even the gods, ghosts and Buddhas, it has nothing to do with us."

　　Ren Jingnian turned slightly and held her hand: "Yes, it is an ant. No matter how small it seems to us, it is doing its best to run for its own life. We are not ants, how can we know what the ants do? There is no fun in what we do, and neither do we. There are many mysteries in this world, and we humans are small in the entire universe, but I know that we are very happy when you are by my side at this time."

　　And her temperature is all he feels about the world.

　　Gu Shunhua also laughed: "Thinking about what to eat tomorrow, I feel that regardless of the mysterious parallel space of the universe, the most important thing is to think about what to eat!"

　　Ren Jingnian couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, this is serious business!"

　　However, what Gu Shunhua didn't expect was that on this night, she had a dream about a parallel space that she had never imagined.

　　Similar stories, similar directions, slightly different endings.

　　Finally, the bowl was hit hard. The bowl was not broken, but glowed bright blue.

　　At that moment, the axis of time was shaken.

　　Chapter 136 Extra: First acquaintance

　　That year, Gu Shunhua graduated from junior high school and had already registered her name. In a few days, she would have to go to the countryside, maybe to a very remote place. Thinking about it made her worried.

　　She didn't know what to do and was discussing with Wang Xinrui. Wang Xinrui also felt that going to the countryside was hard. She had heard some stories and advised Gu Shunhua not to go.

　　But it's not okay if you don't go. What can you do if you don't go?

　　It was also at this time that they listened to the speech of the deputy director of the Political Department of the Inner Mongolia Production and Construction Corps, and their ambition to defend the motherland was suddenly inspired.

　　In fact, ever since the gunfire rang out on Zhenbao Island in the first year of junior high school, and the great leader issued a call to "dig holes deep and store grain widely," they had already begun to take action. Their immature voices shouted the slogan loudly: "Be vigilant." , defend the motherland, prepare for war", "prepare for war and prepare for famine for the people".

　　During the three years of junior high school, I didn't study much, so I just worked hard, digging air-raid shelters in the yard at home, at school, and on the streets. I also had to go out to practice and sing red songs loudly in the biting cold wind.

　　Two years later, their enthusiasm has not been extinguished, so when they heard the speech of the Construction Corps, they were inspired to join the Inner Mongolia Production and Construction Corps, go to the border of the motherland, use their own flesh and blood to resist the bombing of the invaders, and forge a new nation. The Great Wall of Times!

　　Wang Xinrui was moved, and Gu Shunhua was also a little moved. The two discussed it in low voices, and then Wang Xinrui asked the deputy director: "Will we be given guns then? Wear military uniforms? Are we the same as regular soldiers?"

　　The deputy director saw two half-year-old girls here and smiled: "Fat, of course! They are given military uniforms, eat national food, and also have guns at critical times! Except for missing the five-pointed star and red collar badge, everything else is the same as the regular ones." The People's Liberation Army is no different!"

　　Gu Shunhua still had questions: "In addition to recruiting our students, does our Corps also have other soldiers?"

　　There happened to be a young man next to the deputy director. He had a straight face and straight eyebrows. He was wearing a military uniform and looked very energetic. He pointed and said, "Yes, we are also recruiting other soldiers. Look, this young man is from our army. He is very energetic." ah!"

　　Gu Shunhua looked over and saw that the young man was tall, almost a head taller than her, but very thin and straight, as mentioned in the book, as tall and straight as a poplar tree.

　　When she looked over, the young man happened to look over too. Their eyes met, and the young man blushed a little.

　　The deputy director pointed at the young man: "Jingnian, come here."

　　The young man is Ren Jingnian.

　　He strode over with clean and neat movements, showing his military appearance as he moved. He walked up to him and gave him a standard military salute.

　　Gu Shunhua and Wang Xinrui looked at each other and looked at Ren Jingnian curiously.

　　Deputy Director: "Introduce our situation to these two female students."

　　Ren Jingnian had the same conditioned reflex and saluted again, and then looked at Gu Shunhua and Wang Xinrui.

　　Unlike the solemnity when facing the deputy director, he was obviously a little reserved when facing the two girls: "Two lesbians, what do you want to hear?"

　　Wang Xinrui began to ask: "What do you usually do? Do you fight?"

　　Ren Jingnian: "No war."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Then what are you doing?"

　　Ren Jingnian: "Opening up wasteland, reclaiming land, and digging coal"

　　Gu Shunhua said "Oh", and there was obviously some disappointment in his voice.

　　Ren Jingnian glanced at Gu Shunhua and added: "This is to prepare for war and famine for the people, and to be ready to fight at any time to defend the motherland."

　　Wang Xinrui suddenly understood and nodded, but Gu Shunhua remained silent.

　　Ren Jingnian added: "We will also catch spies."

　　As soon as these words came out, Gu Shunhua's eyes lit up: "Catch a spy?"

　　Wang Xinrui also said hurriedly: "Can you tell me in detail how to catch a spy? Aim with a gun and swish?"

　　Ren Jingnian cleared his throat and put on a serious look on his slightly immature face: "Our Corps is only more than a hundred kilometers away from the border. There are no people in the middle. It's all desert. Those foreign spies are likely to sneak into our territory through the border. , so it is very important for us to catch foreign spies, and we must always be vigilant. □□ tells us that although the country has been liberated, international and domestic enemies still exist, and they will use every opportunity to cause destruction at any time, so we must Should shoulder the task of border defense, faithfully perform the responsibility of defending the motherland, and consolidate the responsibility of the people's democratic dictatorship!"

　　Wearing a military uniform, he stands tall and straight, but in fact he is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. When it comes to these words, he is still obviously immature and has a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

　　But it was enough to shock the two little girls next to him who had never seen the world.

　　Gu Shunhua tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile: "Then have you ever caught a spy?"

　　When she smiled, Ren Jingnian's eyes looked a little uncertain.

　　The little girl in front of her has two shiny black braids, and the ends of the braids are tied up with red gauze ribbons. As she tilts her head slightly, the red gauze ribbons on the ends of her hair will dance gently, like March in the countryside. Little wild flowers blooming in the wind.

　　He had long discovered that her eyes were big, black and very attractive.

　　He pursed his lips and tried not to sound as stiff as possible. He said, "I have only been in the army for a year and have not caught any spies yet. However, our regiment leader has. He also told us to be careful and said that we could encounter them at any time." spy."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Really? Then tell me, how did your captain catch the spies?"

　　Ren Jingnian began to talk: "At our border, there are checkpoints on both water and land routes. Those who pass through those checkpoints must hold a border pass. The border pass is issued by our regiment's security unit and has a printed white note. , just take this. At that time, there was a spy who was hiding very deep and was not noticed when he crossed the border. Later, when he came near our regiment, our regiment leader noticed him and asked him where he came from. He said he was from Xinjiang. , our group leader said a few words to him, and he actually didn't show any flaws, but our group leader became wary and felt something was wrong."

　　Gu Shunhua and Wang Xinrui were both fascinated by this story: "Then what?"

　　After Ren Jingnian said this, he relaxed a little and continued: "The leader of our group chased him on horseback, talked to that person, and asked him about his pass. He said he forgot to bring it, and then our group leader The leader became even more suspicious and said that the old man who applied for the pass last time had a white beard and should have quit a long time ago. He has been confused all day long. The man just followed this saying. Our group leader knew that there must be something fishy about it. He is most likely a spy!"

　　Gu Shunhua and Wang Xinrui were new to the world and very simple. They asked in unison: "Why?"

　　Ren Jing smiled young, his young and resolute face showed white teeth when he smiled, he looked at Gu Shunhua and said: "Because the person we applied for the pass is a thirty-year-old man, and he is not an old man! He doesn't have a white beard either!"

　　The two girls suddenly realized and couldn't help but laugh: "How can this be done!"

　　Ren Jingnian: "Our regiment leader said, this is the strategy, this is the war that never tires of deceit!"

　　Gu Shunhua said with a smile: "What happened next, please tell me quickly!"

　　Ren Jingnian hurriedly continued: "Our leader didn't want to alarm him, so he stabilized him and lied to him that there were poisonous snakes here, which scared him badly. After that, our leader took him around in circles in the desert. He was surrounded and stunned, and finally followed our regiment leader to the corps without knowing it. He didn't know what was going on. At that time, the regiment leader shouted and arrested him. After arresting him, he found a Brownings, and beef bread and butter."

　　Wang Xinrui: "There is still bread and butter, so it must be a foreign spy!"

　　Ren Jingnian: "Yes."

　　Gu Shunhua and Wang Xinrui chatted a lot and asked Ren Jingnian a lot of questions. Finally, they really got interested. They also wanted to go to the Inner Mongolia border regiment, to guard the border in Inner Mongolia, to defend the motherland and catch spies!

　　That day, after the conversation was over, the director of the Political Department patted Ren Jingnian on the shoulder: "Xiao Ren, okay, you have learned to fool the little girl!"

　　Ren Jingnian suddenly blushed, saluted, and said solemnly: "Report to the director, I did not deceive the little girl, what I just said was all the truth!"

　　The director of the Political Department smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed true."

　　Wang Xinrui and Gu Shunhua discussed it carefully. If Gu Shunhua didn't go to the Inner Mongolia Corps, she would have to go to the countryside. So for her, this was the better of the two roads. She had no choice and was bound to go.

　　Wang Xinrui had other choices, so she hesitated. She felt that she had to think carefully.

　　After hesitating for a few days, she gritted her teeth: "The sky is vast and the fields are vast, and the wind blows and the grass is low, showing cattle and sheep. I want to defend the motherland, and I want to catch the spies!"

　　So the two sisters went hand in hand to sign up and participated.

　　Not long after signing up, I was preparing my luggage and heading out.

　　It was an ancient steam locomotive, a special train for educated youth. After the electric bell rang twice, the train started clumsily. People on both sides of the train waved to the educated youth desperately, and many educated youth also put their heads to say goodbye to their relatives.

　　Gu Quanfu and Gu Yuehua came to see Gu Shunhua off, and Gu Shunhua waved to them. As the train slowly moved forward, the lofty ambitions in the sixteen-year-old Gu Shunhua's heart faded, replaced by indescribable anxiety and confusion.

　　She knew that her situation was different from being a soldier. If she were a soldier, she would return to her hometown after a few years. But when she joined the Production and Construction Corps, she was going to take root in the frontier, and she might never come back!

　　At this time, there was deep sadness in her heart. She looked out the window at the vast sky, not knowing what her life would be like.

　　She wanted to cry, but she felt embarrassed.

　　She glanced at the people around her blankly. Except for Wang Xinrui, many of them were unfamiliar faces.

　　At this time, a boy next to him suddenly said: "Eating chocolate, who is eating it!"

　　As he spoke, he opened his backpack generously and took out chocolate from inside.

　　Chocolate is a rare thing. Most people have this, and some have never even seen it before.

　　The boy was very generous and generous. He started to share chocolates with everyone. Everyone was very grateful and said thank you with a smile. Soon the educated youths in the two rows of seats became very friendly.

　　Gu Shunhua actually heard it, but she didn't look back. She was afraid that others would see the moisture in her eyes, so she just stared out of the car window through the glass, looking at the dead branches passing by.

　　At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "Classmate, do you want to eat?"

　　She was startled and quickly turned around to see a big face and a bright smile.

　　A boy of similar age to her held a chocolate wrapped in gold paper: "This is delicious. There is only one left. If you don't want it, it will be gone."

　　Gu Shunhua still didn't respond, but he still said: "Thank you."

　　The boy put the chocolate into her hand: "Eat it, it's very sweet!"

　　She took it, peeled off the skin, and put the precious chocolate into her mouth.

　　It was indeed very sweet, very sweet, the rarest sweetness she had ever tasted in her life.

　　People around were joking. The boy told everyone a joke loudly. Everyone was around the same age. Everyone laughed unscrupulously. Wang Xinrui also came back from fetching water. The boy conjured up "the last piece of chocolate" and gave it to Wang Xinrui. .

　　Gu Shunhua ate chocolate, and the sadness and confusion in his heart disappeared.

　　She thought, in fact, it's not a big deal, there are so many people accompanying her, everyone comes from the same place, and is moving towards the same ideal.

　　Compared with the cramped old alleys of Beijing, the distant sky is where she spends her youth.

　　Chapter 137 Extra: Baked Bean Cake

　　The winter that year was extremely cold.

　　The coal mines are still under construction and not much coal is produced. The educated youths are very short of coal. Even in the coldest winter, they can only refill the small briquette stove with a piece of coal before going to bed. That small piece of coal After the fire is gone, the room will gradually become colder. Sometimes if you wake up from the cold in the middle of the night, you will find that the room is like an ice cellar.

　　In fact, the Corps has distributed clothes to everyone early. The khaki clothes are said to have been eliminated by the previous army. There are cotton coats and trousers and jackets, cotton hats, cotton coats, various other odds and ends, as well as corduroy cotton shoes and single shoes.

　　As for the quilt, it was quite thick, and the military supplies were genuine and durable, but even so, it was still cold.

　　Wang Xinrui, Chang Hui, Gu Shunhua and two other female educated youths from Shanxi lived in the same room. They wore cotton jackets and trousers when they went to bed at night, and covered themselves with all the cotton clothes. The five of them crowded together and wore cotton hats on their heads. Just sleep like this.

　　But when this happens, it's still cold. When I wake up in the morning, my eyebrows are often covered with a layer of white frost. The prepared face wash has been frozen, and even the towel has been frozen into dried fish, which makes a squeaking sound when I twist it hard.

　　Gu Shunhua was sleeping against the wall that day. When she woke up and wanted to get up, she felt a pain in her wrist. When she looked down, she realized that her wrist had accidentally stuck to the wall and had frozen together. She pulled it like this. A layer of fleshy skin was glued off the wrist!

　　If we continue like this, we are really afraid of freezing to death or not being able to survive the winter, so the company asked everyone to find a way to cut down any plants they can find.

　　Everyone eats two meals a day, one at 4:30 in the afternoon. After dinner, before the sun sets, we run around looking for sea buckthorn, tamarisk, splendens, and caragana. Make a fire.

　　On this day, Gu Shunhua, Chang Hui, Wang Xinrui and the others couldn't find anything nearby, so they walked deep into the desert with shovels. One of them was to scare them in case they encountered any wild things, and the other was to scare them. Make a mark on the ground so that you can follow the mark when you go back.

　　The three people walked forward, and finally saw a piece of Achnatherum splendens in front of them, in clusters, and withered splendens splendens ears next to it. Now everyone was excited.

　　Achnatherum splendens is good to burn, and splendens splendens is warmth and hope to them!

　　So regardless of the cold, he took the sickle and started cutting, working in full swing.

　　Who would have thought that just as we were cutting, the sky would suddenly change, with strong winds raging and dust all over the sky. The red sun in the evening was instantly obscured, leaving a dark yellow all around.

　　Everyone had experienced it before, and they lay on the ground without moving. However, the wind blew the sand and hit them. Gu Shunhua could even feel that his back and legs were covered with a layer of sand.

　　What's even more frightening is that it's getting darker and colder. If this continues, if they don't go back as soon as possible, they may freeze to death here.

　　Gu Shunhua gritted his teeth, covered his mouth with both hands and said loudly: "Let's get up, grab the shovel, and move forward together. We must go back!"

　　As soon as she spoke like this, sand started to hit her mouth and nose, and she quickly covered her mouth and spit it out.

　　Wang Xinrui gasped for air and shouted: "Okay, we have to go back even if we die! We can't die here!"

　　The word death entered the hearts of Gu Shunhua and Chang Hui, and they were all excited.

　　Yes, if they don't go back desperately, they are afraid they will freeze to death here. They have seen the cold in the desert in winter and it is really unbearable.

　　In this weather, even if the Corps discovers that they are missing and comes to look for them, it may be too late.

　　But even though they were afraid of death, they were still a little reluctant to part with the splendens they had just chopped. In the end, everyone carried a bundle with gritted teeth, then grabbed the shovel and walked forward.

　　Three girls, a shovel, holding on tightly, no one can be left behind.

　　Chang Hui was at the front, holding the cold shovel and crying: "Even if we die, we will die together!"

　　Wang Xinrui: "Don't cry, your tears will freeze!"

　　Chang Hui was so frightened that she quickly wiped it off.

　　But no matter how hard they tried, it was to no avail. The strong wind in the desert blew up, and the three of them were almost overturned. The wind covered the sand grains and hit their faces painfully. At this time, they saw a patch of undulating sand dunes surrounding them. This was the sand dune. The nest was closed, and there were red willows growing next to the sand nest. If I used to see red willows, I would be happy to cut them down and burn them for fire. But now I was so scared that I could only huddle there to take shelter from the wind.

　　The three girls were lying next to the sand dune. Their legs could no longer be controlled and they just kept shaking. They couldn't hold back the tears any longer and fell down. They mixed with the sand and their faces became sticky, cold and sticky.

　　Wang Xinrui said solemnly: "Are we really going to die here?"

　　Chang Hui: "The people from the Corps will come looking for us when they find out we are missing."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Yes, I will definitely come."

　　In fact, she just said this to emphasize her tone. No one expected the sudden strong wind. Even if everyone found out that they were missing, it would be difficult to find them. The sky was filled with yellow sand and it was impossible to find their direction!

　　Everyone knows in their hearts that tonight will be difficult.

　　There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert. At night, even if you are covered with a quilt in the house, you will be shivering with cold, let alone outdoors. If the Corps finds them tomorrow, they will probably be frozen into popsicles. But at this time, they are there. Amid the howling wind, there seemed to be a faint shriek.

　　Chang Hui said: "This should be the howling of a wild wolf, right?"

　　When she said this, everyone listened carefully and felt their hearts tremble.

　　Wang Xinrui couldn't stand it any longer: "I miss my dad, I miss my mom, I really want to go back to Beijing! I want to go back to Beijing, I don't want to stay here anymore, I regret it! Why did I come to a place like this!"

　　By the end, she was crying.

　　Gu Shunhua took a deep breath and comforted: "It's okay, it must be okay. We will definitely be able to go back to Beijing. Later, we will all go back and eat delicious food together. How about eating Zhizi barbecue? We also want to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Fragrant roasted sweet potatoes. sweet potato!"

　　Chang Hui listened to the two of them and suddenly cried: "I haven't dated anyone yet, my life has been in vain! What have I done in my life!"

　　When she cried, Gu Shunhua and Wang Xinrui also wanted to cry.

　　They have been here for two years and have endured for two years. I don't know when this day will end. Is their youth destined to be buried here and never go back?

　　Just when several people were falling into despair, they heard a voice. It was a faint voice coming in the roaring wind, but to them, who were desperate at this time, it was no more than a glimmer of light in the darkness.

　　They began to suspect that they had heard wrongly, so they held their breath and listened hard. At first they didn't hear anything, and they became desperate and panicked. Then they tried to listen again, and finally, they captured the sound again.

　　Wang Xinrui suddenly jumped up, regardless of the wind and sand, and shouted: "Here, we are here!"

　　But their voices were obviously too weak and going against the wind.

　　So the three people supported each other, braved the wind and sand, and walked forward towards the sound. As they walked, they rubbed the shovel with stones to make a sharp sound, so that maybe the person looking for them would hear it.

　　Finally, the sound was getting closer and closer, and they shouted excitedly. The people from the Corps came and took the splendens from their backs, took off their cotton-padded jackets and wrapped them in them, and stuffed water bottles into their mouths. They drink.

　　They held the warm water in their hands and took big gulps, almost swallowing the mud at the corners of their mouths, but they didn't care at all.

　　After Gu Shunhua took several sips, he saw that the man who took off his cotton coat and gave it to her was Ren Jingnian.

　　She has been in Inner Mongolia for two years. She has seen it occasionally, so she understands it, but she cannot be said to be particularly familiar with it.

　　Ren Jingnian also saw her looking at him and said hurriedly: "Be careful, don't choke."

　　After Gu Shunhua drank it, her stomach felt warmer. After all, she felt much better, so she took off her clothes: "Here, you can dress yourself, I'm not cold -"

　　However, Ren Jingnian held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Gu, let's go back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be even more dangerous when the sandstorm comes."

　　His voice was too decisive and cold. Gu Shunhua didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nod his head: "Okay."

　　The people who came to look for them this time were regular soldiers from the corps. It turned out that the sandstorm came too suddenly, and none of the people who went out to find firewood or work came back. Seeing this, the company commander simply sent out all the guys to look for them.

　　Ren Jingnian had been promoted from a recruit Danzi two years ago to a platoon leader. This time he led his people to search for each other, and Gu Shunhua was the last group of people they found.

　　Having their own people, several lesbians immediately relaxed, and their own people came to save them. They usually don't feel that at this time, they are relatives and depend on them!

　　The guys supported each other, braved the wind and sand, and headed forward. Finally, they returned to the corps and got into their own rooms.

　　When he returned to the room, he was already very dirty, with layers of dirt on his face and head. Gu Shunhua was actually so tired that he wanted to collapse on the kang, but he still brought the lantern, lifted the glass cover and lit the wick. I got water to wash my face, but when I saw it, the water was already frozen!

　　After all, this is a girl's house. It was really uncomfortable to be dirty like this, and several girls almost cried.

　　While they were worried, they heard a voice from outside, saying that the soldiers asked for some pot water in the kitchen and it was brought to them. When everyone heard this, they were extremely happy and grateful, and they quickly received it. The pot water was still hot. , finally washed my face a little.

　　The wipes were almost done and it was time to go to sleep, but after all this fuss, it was obvious that everyone couldn't sleep. The little food we had for dinner was long gone, and our stomachs were really empty, but such a big thing happened tonight. It was even harder to find something to eat, and besides, they were too embarrassed to bother the big guys.

　　Everyone was hungry, so they just endured it and no one said anything.

　　Who knew that when Gu Shunhua was about to lie down, he heard a knock on the door outside the house.

　　She asked casually: "Who is it?"

　　A voice outside said: "Me."

　　Wang Xinrui listened and was amused: "Who knows who "I" am!"

　　But Gu Shunhua could tell that this was Ren Jingnian.

　　She hesitated and then opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the wind from outside rushed in.

　　Ren Jingnian stood outside the door and quickly pushed a bag of things to Gu Shunhua: "Here you go, you can eat it."

　　After saying that, he helped her close the door.

　　Gu Shunhua hadn't reacted yet, but he looked through the crack in the door and saw that he had already left.

　　Wang Xinrui quickly got off the kang: "Who is it? What did I give you?"

　　Gu Shunhua opened the paper package and saw pieces of cold, hard round cakes inside, like stones.

　　She brought it to her nose and smelled the aroma of soybean oil, and immediately understood: "This is bean cake."

　　Wang Xinrui: "Ah, this is Ren Jingnian, he is so kind, he even gave us food!"

　　Chang Hui also hurriedly got off the bed: "Where's the bean cake! Can I eat this casually?"

　　Everyone knows that bean cakes are used to feed livestock. The corps has horses, and those horses are bean cakes. But sometimes when everyone is hungry and has a good relationship with the logistics carriage class, they may find a way to get some bean cakes.

　　This is of course not in line with the rules, but many people turn a blind eye.

　　Wang Xinrui was so happy: "How about we put the coal in and burn it, then roast it slowly and eat it. This way it will be warm and edible!"

　　Everyone hesitated at her suggestion. After all, each room was only given a small amount of coal, and they had to dig hard to use it. How could it be such a luxury?

　　However, with such cold weather, roaring winds, and the despair of life and death, they were in great need of some warmth and comfort, but the bean cakes that smelled of soybean oil in front of them were so stiff that they could not chew them.

　　Even if it's a little more luxurious, it doesn't matter. They really want to eat bean cakes and warm themselves up by the fire.

　　So that night, several girls worked hard to light the stove with splendens that they risked their lives to get, and burned briquettes, and baked bean cakes bit by bit with the help of the weak dark red fire.

　　After the cold and hard bean cakes were baked, they exuded a unique fragrance. The fragrance was so charming that they swallowed hard.

　　Finally, the girls each held one in their hands and ate it, taking small bites. It was so fragrant.

　　Wang Xinrui was eating and suddenly burst into tears: "This is the most fragrant bean cake I have ever eaten in my life. When I go back to Beijing, I will eat bean cakes every day. I love bean cakes the most!"

　　Chang Hui bit hard until her cheeks hurt: "It's quite delicious."

　　Gu Shunhua held the small bean cake, but he remembered that Ren Jingnian was in a hurry and the wind was too strong, so he didn't even see him clearly, so he stuffed the bean cake, and then the door was closed.

　　She took a small bite, and his usual appearance appeared in front of her eyes.

　　He is tall and straight, usually has a neat military appearance and a dignified appearance. He occasionally smiles, and his teeth seem to be very white when he smiles...

　　Chapter 138 Extra: Sesame Oil Shaobing

　　Wuyuan is the world-famous 800-mile Hetao Rice Grain River. The Corps planted large areas of wheat. This is the Corps' grain warehouse. However, due to the abnormal climate, the wheat grown in the Corps encountered insect pests. This has never happened before. The Corps asked experts to take a look and said that if things continue like this, the wheat production this year may not be good.

　　The regiment suddenly became anxious. The regiment headquarters could only send a report and ask for support from superiors. In the end, an aircraft was sent to support the pest control.

　　After hearing the news, everyone was naturally happy. The superiors issued orders and began to clear a large open space as a simple airport for planes to land. Everyone was assigned tasks.

　　Ren Jingnian, the platoon leader, shouldered the heavy responsibility. He formed a combat team of thirty people, transported water and medicine, and stayed in the open space to welcome the arrival of the plane, preparing to add water and medicine at any time when the plane landed.

　　As for female educated youths like Gu Shunhua, they found the brightest headscarves to wear, and borrowed colorful flags from the propaganda team to form a flag-flying team. When the aircraft was operating at high altitude, they sprayed the colorful flags according to their positions.

　　Amid everyone's expectations, the plane came with a roar and landed in the temporarily cleared open space.

　　Ren Jingnian's combat team had already prepared all the 666 powder and water. As soon as the plane stopped, they lined up in a row and extended along the ladder to the top of the aircraft. Through relay transfer, the 666 powder was and water were passed to the staff on the top of the machine. Ren Jingnian organized it well in advance, acted quickly and cooperated well, and soon the large tank on the top of the machine was filled with pesticides.

　　The plane filled with pesticides hovered over the wheat fields. Gu Shunhua, Wang Xinrui and the others were actually a little nervous. They were afraid that if the plane hit them, they were also afraid of being sprayed with pesticides. However, according to regulations, the colorful flag command team could not move, and no one could move until the plane was in front of them. Do not move, otherwise it will affect the spraying effect.

　　So I stared attentively, watching the plane flying low, watching the plane spraying a white mist of pesticides, and then ran away suddenly. For a while, the girls screamed and laughed from time to time. Voice.

　　When Gu Shunhua was running, he tripped on a thorn root under his feet. He was unprepared and sprayed pesticide on his back.

　　She didn't think much and ran towards the field. When she got there, Ren Jingnian and the others rushed over.

　　Seeing her like that, Ren Jingnian pulled her aside and handed her a bucket of water: "Go wash up and change clothes."

　　Gu Shunhua didn't even react before he was filled with water. He nodded quickly: "Okay!"

　　After saying that, she ran away with the water, but the water was a full bucket, and she struggled to carry it. When Ren Jingnian saw him, he told the commando next to him, and then brought it over to help her carry it: "I Send you there."

　　Gu Shunhua was actually a little embarrassed, but seeing that everyone was busy cleaning up the aftermath or watching the plane, she didn't say anything and went to the lounge next to her.

　　The so-called rest room is actually a low-rise brick building with red tiles, which is fortunately quite tight.

　　Arriving in front of the red-tiled brick house, Gu Shunhua was quite embarrassed, so Ren Jingnian handed the bucket to Gu Shunhua, then turned to leave.

　　Gu Shunhua shouted: "Hey, let me be the platoon leader!"

　　Ren Jingnian stopped: "Huh?"

　　Gu Shunhua blushed, but still suggested: "You can help me guard the outside, otherwise, what if someone comes?"

　　In fact, everyone was watching the plane, and no one came at all, but the house was unlocked, just in case.

　　Ren Jingnian said nothing, nodded, then stood at attention with his back to the door: "Don't worry, Comrade Gu, I will definitely help you guard the door."

　　What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, which made Gu Shunhua feel more at ease.

　　She took off her clothes, quickly washed them with water, dried them, and then put on spare clothes - as I said before, she had to bring a change of clothes to avoid getting pesticides on her.

　　After putting on clean clothes, Gu Shunhua felt relieved. She walked out of the brick house and said to Ren Jingnian, "Thank you, Platoon Leader Ren."

　　Ren Jingnian nodded slightly: "It's nothing. Protecting the safety of every soldier in the Corps is what we should do."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Mainly because I feel like I'm causing trouble to you."

　　Everyone was fine, except for her, who tripped over a thorn root and was sprayed with pesticides, which would have caused many accidents.

　　Ren Jingnian: "This is very normal. I heard that other regiments also had this situation, and they even suffered from pesticide poisoning because they did not take timely measures."

　　When Gu Shunhua heard this, he became a little worried: "Really? Will I be poisoned?"

　　Ren Jingnian: "No, haven't you washed it already? Unless you have wounds on your body, it will take time for pesticides to penetrate into the body through pores. There will be no problem in such a short time."

　　Gu Shunhua was finally relieved: "That's good."

　　Ren Jingnian thought for a while: "But Comrade Gu, you still have to pay more attention. If you feel any discomfort next, you must remember to report it so that you can take timely measures for treatment."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Yeah, I understand."

　　Returning to the wheat field, the plane had already circled around and all the pesticides had been consumed. Seeing this, Ren Jingnian quickly returned to the combat team and waited for the plane to arrive. He organized personnel to refuel the plane, and Gu Shunhua also joined the colorful flag command team. .

　　Fortunately, there was no accident this time. Everyone cooperated well. In the evening, the aircraft operation was completed. The kitchen of the regiment headquarters used a tractor to transport several large thermal buckets, which contained millet soup, steamed buns, vegetables, etc., which were specially given to the crew. prepare.

　　The crew members obviously couldn't finish the meal, and Gu Shunhua and other staff members also took advantage of it, each of them got half a bun.

　　Since coming to the Corps, everyone's food is naturally not as good as at home. They eat oatmeal rolls and steamed buns, and they often feel hungry. Now when they see this white steamed bun, they are really overjoyed. Everyone is holding half a piece of steamed bun. Overjoyed.

　　Lei Yongquan was in charge of airport logistics this time. He also came with the tractor. When he saw Gu Shunhua, Wang Xinrui and the others, he came over and they all squatted together to eat and talk while eating.

　　Lei Yongquan was a very funny person. As soon as he arrived, several Beijing educated youths gathered together to talk and laugh, inevitably speaking with a Beijing accent, and they were all beaming.

　　Ren Jingnian was leading the combat team to eat together. Some of the soldiers around him started talking about female educated youths. This is inevitable at this age. After all, training is very hard, opening up wasteland and farming is even harder , and mining coal is even harder. To add to the hardship, such a boring and difficult life, at a young and vigorous age, always requires some spiritual sustenance.

　　Some people say that Lei Yongquan and Gu Shunhua are relatively good friends, and they both came from Beijing together. They are probably a couple, and they seem to be talking.

　　Ren Jingnian didn't say anything when he heard this, but he still raised his head and looked in the direction of Gu Shunhua.

　　Gu Shunhua was holding a big steamed bun and munching on it, smiling so brightly that his brows were filled with energy. The red, blue and yellow scarf tied on his head was still bright and moving under the setting sun.

　　At this moment, Lei Yongquan actually took out a plastic bag, which seemed to be fried sesame seeds. He greeted and helped Gu Shunhua sprinkle it into the bowl of millet porridge.

　　Ren Jingnian withdrew his gaze.

　　***************

　　The life of the Corps is tense and monotonous. When autumn is approaching, we usually wake up at 7:30 when the whistle blows and go out to do morning exercises and wash up. After that, we have breakfast at 8:00, only two meals a day, and the evening meal is at 4:30 pm.

　　The meal at 4:30 will last until just before going to bed at night, so naturally it will make you hungry easily. Fortunately, the plane was free of pests and there was a bumper wheat harvest. Life seemed to be getting better for everyone. Everyone could get a white steamed bun every day. Although it was small, it was there after all. Compared with the dry and hard nest when they first arrived, I don't know how much better the wotou is.

　　On the Mid-Autumn Festival, a cultural performance was organized, and everyone became energetic. The Corps is almost a closed world to the outside world. There is no news from the outside. All they come into contact with are the internal newspapers of the Corps. Entertainment is really boring. The occasional cultural performance makes these young people from big cities interested.

　　Gu Shunhua was not interested. She didn't want to participate in the art performance. She just wanted to find time to knit her wool gloves as soon as possible. Otherwise, she was afraid that her hands would freeze again in the winter. Last year, her hands were peeled off, and they became inflamed for a long time. Well, it's not easy to work, life is too difficult.

　　She desperately needed a new pair of gloves.

　　Everyone had gone to rehearse the show, and Gu Shunhua was nestled in the room, sitting on the kang and leaning against the wall, lowering his head and knitting quickly. As he was knitting, he heard a knock on the door outside.

　　She shouted to come in, but who knew that the man didn't come in, but instead said: "Comrade Gu."

　　When she heard it, she knew it was Ren Jingnian.

　　I blushed for a while.

　　Wang Xinrui has said it several times, and other sisters have also mentioned it, saying that Ren Jinnian seemed to be particularly concerned about her affairs and felt that Ren Jinnian was interested in her.

　　However, she was a little confused. Regarding the future and love, she felt that they were far away from her and had never thought about it at all.

　　He suddenly came to her at this time. It was a rare time to be alone in private, which made her think too much.

　　The person outside the door said nothing, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

　　Gu Shunhua finally got off the kang, pulled up his shoes and opened the door.

　　When he opened the door, the autumn breeze from the north rushed towards his face, and the young man in military uniform stood there upright with majestic features.

　　Gu Shunhua: "What's wrong with Platoon Commander Ren?"

　　Ren Jingnian took out a piece of skin and handed it to Gu Shunhua: "This is the rabbit I killed. The rabbit meat has gone into the big pot of millet porridge in the kitchen. Everyone can drink millet porridge with rabbit meat tonight. This is Rabbit skin, I'm thinking of making it for you, just in time to make a pair of leather gloves."

　　Gu Shunhua took a look and said hurriedly: "I don't want it."

　　Ren Jingnian: "Why not?"

　　Gu Shunhua: "Keep it for yourself. You still have to go up the mountain to dig coal. It's cold on the mountain. It's good for you to make knee pads."

　　Ren Jingnian: "I don't need knee pads."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Then do whatever you want!"

　　Ren Jingnian pursed his lips, and then said: "Okay, forget it, I'll keep it for myself."

　　As he said that, he took out another oil paper bag and said, "This is for you."

　　Gu Shunhua: "What is this?"

　　Ren Jingnian: "Mooncakes, I bought them from the sales department of the regiment yesterday. They are said to be quite delicious, even better than those made by our company's logistics department."

　　Gu Shunhua actually didn't want it very much, she hadn't figured it out yet.

　　Since I haven't thought about it clearly, I don't dare to accept other people's things easily for fear of not being able to explain clearly.

　　But the smell of this mooncake was so fragrant. It must have been made of sesame oil. The fragrance penetrated her nose in the bleak autumn and made her drool.

　　In fact, she was not short of money. They received money every month, but they had nowhere to spend the money and couldn't buy anything they wanted.

　　Ren Jingnian saw her confusion and said, "This costs thirty cents. You give me thirty cents and I'll give you mooncakes."

　　When Gu Shunhua heard this, he immediately said: "Okay!"

　　The sound was so loud that she felt embarrassed.

　　***************

　　Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wang Xinrui and others in the same dormitory are using their free time to rehearse the program. The program they rehearse is "The Barefoot Doctor of the Corps". This is a drama, but it requires singing and dialogue.

　　Gu Shunhua saw that they were very busy and it was interesting, but also a little pity. He felt that he should also join, but at this time, he was too lazy to bother, and thought about next year.

　　Unexpectedly, at this time, the company heard that the company would take people to hunt ducks and collect duck eggs in the reeds by the river. This was to add food to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gu Shunhua was naturally happy when he heard that, and he quickly participated enthusiastically.

　　After passing by, I discovered that the leader of the team was actually Ren Jingnian.

　　She hadn't seen him much since she took his sesame oil mooncakes the day before yesterday, but now that she saw him, she felt a little uncomfortable.

　　However, Ren Jingnian didn't seem to have such a problem. Without even looking at her, he organized everyone to hitch the horses to the cart, then got on the cart and rushed to the Yellow River.

　　Gu Shunhua sat on the carriage's shaft, looking at the scenery outside the Great Wall amidst the jolts of the carriage.

　　The clear sky is blue, and in the distance are the rolling Yinshan Mountains. Looking from a distance, it seems that there is a vague color of grass. On the beach of the Yellow River, wild geese fly by lightly, with graceful posture and poetic tranquility.

　　Looking at this scene, people's hearts suddenly become broader. The small grievances in the courtyard and the tense and difficult regiment life all seem to have disappeared.

　　You may even feel that you wish you could turn into a goose and blend into this vast wilderness.

　　The cart arrived at the Yellow River. At this time, there were large tracts of reeds beside the Yellow River. The reeds in autumn were blown by the wind, fluttering, soft and quiet.

　　Everyone got out of the car, spread out, and divided into groups. When they were divided into groups, Gu Shunhua hesitated and chose to be in a group with Ren Jingnian.

　　Ren Jingnian said nothing and led the group members to the reeds.

　　He began to tell everyone how to hunt ducks, how to pick up duck eggs, and how to search for them. While he was talking, he had already found a wild duck nest, which was a large cluster of thick reeds. There was a wild duck nest under the reeds close to the water.

　　Gu Shunhua and the other two team members were pleasantly surprised and hurriedly came over to take a look. The wild duck nest was covered with snow-white reeds, and five large duck eggs lay quietly on the reeds.

　　Gu Shunhua picked up a large duck egg, which was still a little warm and glowed with light blue.

　　Everyone wrapped them in cage cloth and carefully placed them in the enamel jar.

　　Ren Jingnian asked everyone to disperse and continue searching. Gu Shunhua was very interested. After eating and drinking, she happily searched among the reeds. She followed what Ren Jingnian taught just now and touched duck eggs everywhere. She was lucky enough to let him She found a nest and touched four duck eggs in one breath!

　　Holding those duck eggs, she couldn't help but rub them against her face. These were treasures!

　　She kept trying to find more, but unfortunately, she only found a few empty duck nests with no eggs at all, which made her a little disappointed.

　　She saw a piece of reed lying down in front of her, so she walked over there, thinking that there might be some duck nest hidden under the reed lying like this. Who knew that after taking only two steps, she heard a low voice? He said quietly: "Don't make a sound."

　　Gu Shunhua was surprised, and then he saw Ren Jingnian squatting beside the reeds, half kneeling on one leg, taking aim and preparing to shoot.

　　Gu Shunhua followed the muzzle of his gun and saw several wild geese not far away.

　　She quickly fell silent, her heart pounding.

　　Before she came, she said she knew how to fire a gun. In fact, apart from standing guard, she had never touched a gun and couldn't fire a gun. She was mainly engaged in production.

　　Now, she actually saw him shooting with her own eyes.

　　She didn't dare to move, just stood there, holding her breath, waiting.

　　The geese were resting on the reeds lying down, and the soldiers' uniforms were khaki, faded by washing, and fit right into the large field of autumn reeds.

　　Ren Jingnian took aim, pushed the bullet, loaded the gun, then narrowed his eyes and slowly pulled the trigger.

　　The gunshot rang out, and the airflow of the bullet blasted out. One wild goose was knocked down by the force of the bullet, and several others were frightened and took off.

　　A few years ago, Gu Shunhua might have felt a little pity for the wild geese that were killed, but now, all he wants to do is rush over and eat the meat!

　　She cheered and went over and picked up the wild goose: "Great, great! Hit!"

　　Seeing her cheerful look, Ren Jingnian raised his eyebrows and smiled.

　　He has been in the army for three years. If he was still young and immature when he followed the deputy director to Beijing, he is now mature enough. The hard work in the harsh environment has made him less than twenty years old. By that time, he already had a calm mind beyond his years.

　　He smiled and said: "Stop barking, otherwise no geese will dare to come. Let's shoot a few more later so that we can eat delicious food at the Mid-Autumn Festival party tomorrow."

　　Gu Shunhua nodded fiercely: "Okay, I will be your follower. You fight, and I carry the geese."

　　Ren Jingnian smiled even more.

　　But later on, he actually didn't hit many of them. His shooting skills were accurate, but the wild geese were good. They were so startled that they ran away a lot.

　　Fortunately, Ren Jingnian had enough experience in living in the wild, so he touched a lot of eggs, including bird eggs, duck eggs, and eggs that could provide protein to humans and could be eaten.

　　He also pulled out reeds and found reed roots for Gu Shunhua to eat. The reed roots were put in his mouth to suck out the sweet taste, which made Gu Shunhua extremely happy: "This tastes different from our beets, but it's still quite sweet." of!"

　　Seeing this, Ren Jingnian found some more, which were sweeter. Gu Shunhua hugged them all and planned to take them back to several female educated youths to eat together.

　　In the evening, everyone gathered together and gathered the results together. It was a great harvest. The backpacks were heavy. Everyone was so happy that they carefully placed all the eggs on the carriage and went back singing songs with great expectation.

　　************

　　The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the food was really improved on this day. Recently, all the duck eggs and eggs the company had managed to get and the white flour they had saved were used. Everyone made mooncakes by themselves, and each person could share half a piece.

　　The cultural program in the evening was also exciting. Except for some traditional plays, most of them were written and directed by everyone. Young people from big cities gave full play to their past knowledge and won a lot of applause from the crowd.

　　In the large open space to the south of the Corps, a large curtain has been raised for an outdoor movie.

　　The life of the Corps is barren and bitter, and showing movies can be said to be one of the few entertainments available to everyone. Even if they have watched "Heroes and Sons" several times, everyone can still watch it with gusto.

　　Gu Shunhua also went to watch a movie with a few girls. Unfortunately, even though it was cold, there were a lot of mosquitoes, so the few of them had to keep their hands on the movie, swatting the mosquitoes while watching.

　　After watching this for a while, Gu Shunhua remembered that Lei Yongquan said that everyone would take a group photo when the show was over, and she wanted to go back. Unexpectedly, halfway through, she saw Ren Jingnian standing next to the red-tiled house in front.

　　In the hazy night, he was obviously waiting for him.

　　Some things are never made clear and silent, but they can be understood by heart. Young men and women can feel each other's existence without any words or movements, across all the people in the company.

　　Gu Shunhua stopped and didn't run away, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything. He just stood silently with his head lowered.

　　Ren Jingnian spoke first: "I want to ask you something."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Huh?"

　　Ren Jingnian: "You and Lei Yongquan are talking about a partner, right?"

　　Gu Shunhua blushed instantly and looked at Ren Jingnian: "Platoon Leader Ren, what are you talking about!"

　　Seeing her like this, Ren Jingnian's eyes lit up.

　　He lowered his head again and looked at the ground, which was covered with silvery white cast by the moon.

　　He stared at the silvery white and said, "I just wanted to ask."

　　Gu Shunhua: "Don't talk nonsense, don't ruin my reputation!"

　　During that period, her relationship with Lei Yongquan was not good.

　　In the beginning, she and Lei Yongquan were relatively close and had a good relationship. After all, they came from the same place, but something happened some time ago.

　　Lei Yongquan disappeared that day, and everyone went to look for him, but it took two days to find him. I didn't think much about it at the time, but later I heard that Lei Yongquan might have gone on a conspiracy trip.

　　What is string bagging? When it was mentioned, it was mysterious and no one could explain it clearly. Of course Gu Shunhua didn't understand it. Later, when he heard other people talking about it in private, he vaguely understood it. After understanding it, he gritted his teeth and even disliked Lei Yongquan.

　　For several days, Lei Yongquan tried to talk to her, but she didn't even respond!

　　Even if she spoke recently, it was in a light tone. Anyway, she just felt weird. She was too young at the time and could not tolerate that her friend had already behaved as an adult that was beyond her understanding--and beyond her. moral category.

　　So for Gu Shunhua, it is simply insulting to list his name with Lei Yongquan like this.

　　Ren Jingnian: "That's good..."

　　When he said this, his meaning was so obvious that Gu Shunhua's face burned, as if he was being burned by the sun while walking in the desert on a hot day.

　　She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

　　I asked myself, in fact, it has been a long time since I noticed it for a moment. Do you hate it? I don't hate it.

　　It's just that she doesn't know how to take that step. There is no reference in her growth experience, and she has never accumulated any courage to pursue it on her own initiative.

　　So, on this beautiful autumn night, when the distant singing sounded, when the music in the movie surged, and when the soldiers of the Corps thundered in applause, she just looked at him with a dry mouth, stupidly, not knowing what to do. React.

　　Finally, it was him who took out something and handed it to her: "Do you like this?"

　　Gu Shunhua looked over and saw that it was a feather.

　　A beautiful feather glowed faintly with a golden-green light under the watery moonlight.

　　There was surprise in her eyes.

　　So beautiful, this is wild duck feather, this kind of wild duck feather will be more beautiful in the sun.

　　Ren Jingnian: "I picked it up from the reeds that day. This is the most beautiful one."

　　Gu Shunhua pursed his lips and smiled.

　　She lowered her head silently, and after a while, she stretched out her hand and took the wild duck feather from his hand.
