Chapter 68: He is my lover
Gu Chenghuai frowned, using his slender, clean fingers to press against Lin Zhao's red lips.
"Zhaozhao!" His voice was slightly sharp, his black eyes filled with a pain that was faintly visible, "You are digging my heart."
Every sentence Zhaozhao said, he didn't dare to think deeply; thinking about it would make him feel like dying.
It was as if a hand was aimed at his chest, passing through coldly, dragging his heart back and forth.
Over and over again.
Even more.
What she said... seemed to have happened at some moment.
Making him heartbroken.
Just thinking about it made him lose all his strength.
Those deep black eyes locked tightly on his wife, as if wanting to knead her into his heart.
He was really, really afraid.
Lin Zhao felt Gu Chenghuai's tone was a bit heavy, looked up at him, her eyes clear and calm, "Gu Chenghuai! Are you scolding me?"
She only called his full name when she was angry. Her usual forms of address were varied: Comrade Gu, Battalion Commander Gu, Cubs' father, Children's father, Gu Three... all according to her own wishes.
Gu Chenghuai put his hands on his wife's shoulders, looked down at her with focused and burning eyes, his voice flat, but with a trace of depression, "I didn't scold you, I just..."
His words paused, his voice slightly hoarse, "What you said, I can't bear it, Zhaozhao."
It was hard to see each other, Lin Zhao couldn't bear to waste time on being awkward. As long as he was willing to coax... she would stop being angry instantly.
Her eyes curved, she hooked Gu Chenghuai's hand, her right hand circled into his palm.
"Okay, I won't say it!" She was just venting her emotions, didn't want the cubs' father to feel uncomfortable.
Gu Chenghuai's tense expression eased instantly, his gaze always on his wife, gentle and affectionate, "Does your head still hurt?"
"If it hurts, I'll take you to the hospital to see."
Lin Zhao's expression was soft, also looking at the man, not willing to move her eyes for a long time, "It hasn't hurt for a long time!"
This is her man, not seen for a long time, naturally she wouldn't miss him.
Even if there was a bit of unfamiliarity, it would be squeezed into a crushing defeat by the intense emotion of wanting to cherish every second with him...
Discovering that Gu Chenghuai's hands were empty, without even a cloth bag, she asked curiously: "You didn't bring luggage when you came back?"
"Brought it." Gu Chenghuai was always gentle and patient in front of his wife, his speed of speech unhurried, "It's with Yang Junzhi."
He looked at Zhaozhao's forehead again. There wasn't even a red mark left on it, so it should be fine.
"The money for buying the job, the bicycle, and the watch, did you borrow it?" Lin Zhao was afraid Gu Chenghuai owed favors, and frowned slightly.
"No." Gu Chenghuai shook his head and denied, explaining: "Took it from the mission bonus passbook."
He had two passbooks, one for his allowance, one for mission bonuses. When they first got married, he took the initiative to hand over two passbooks to his wife. Lin Zhao only accepted the allowance one, and didn't want the man's mission bonus passbook, letting Gu Chenghuai keep it himself.
She felt this was money he earned with blood and sweat, and shouldn't be taken by her.
"As long as you don't owe favors." Lin Zhao said.
Gu Chenghuai's deep black eyes looked at her, containing expectation, "You aren't afraid I'll give money to Gu Xing'er, so you also accept the other passbook?"
Lin Zhao's eyebrows revealed helplessness, and she said softly: "It's the same whether you keep it or I keep it, no one dislikes having too much money in their hands? You can take it directly if you need it."
"I don't need it." Gu Chenghuai said deeply.
He didn't want Zhaozhao to be distant from him.
He worked hard outside, wasn't it to give her, give the children a good life? Allowance or mission rewards, to him it was the same, just numbers to let the family live better.
"You brought it back?!" Lin Zhao raised her eyebrows.
Gu Chenghuai took the passbook out of his pocket decisively and handed it to her.
Active and conscious.
"You are the head of the family, you keep it."
"You keep the passbook in your pocket." Lin Zhao scolded him in surprise, accepted it without a word, didn't even look at it, and stuffed it into her bag quickly, "Not afraid of losing it!"
This is the cubs' father's blood and sweat money!!
Gu Chenghuai's eyebrows stretched, his black eyes overflowing with smiles, his whole body light.
Looking at his wife's eyes became more and more sticky.
He really liked Zhaozhao managing him.
This made him feel that Zhaozhao cared about him, that she wasn't someone who wouldn't recognize the account after eating meat and getting his body.
"What are you laughing at!" Lin Zhao patted his arm. That arm was like an iron block, all strength, could lift her up with one hand, walk from the county to the brigade, and then walk to the Dongfeng brigade.
"I'm happy." Gu Chenghuai's voice was dyed with laughter.
His voice was low and good-sounding, and dyed with laughter, it was even more low and seductive, making people's ears hot.
"Stupid, happy even when giving money." Lin Zhao felt beautiful in her heart, but complained with her mouth.
Gu Chenghuai saw she was saying one thing and meaning another, his mood even better, saying: "I'm happy to give it to you."
"Battalion Commander Gu, you are really hopeless!" Lin Zhao took his hand and strode forward.
Gu Chenghuai looked at her side face, smiling without speaking.
He had been hopeless long ago, at the first sight of Zhaozhao.
After walking forward for another distance, Lin Zhao suddenly stopped, raised her hand to pat her forehead, "...... Forgot the bicycle!!"
Gu Chenghuai pulled down that hand, reached out to touch her forehead gently, his tone helpless, "Forgot is forgot, no one dares to steal it."
Bicycles at this time are all licensed, and have to be registered. If you dare to steal, you have to go in.
Before Lin Zhao could speak, Gu Chenghuai took the initiative to invite, "Time is still early, want to watch a movie?"
Lin Zhao suddenly remembered the past, when the two were just talking about partners, he said such a sentence.
It was winter at that time, that year's Comrade Gu wasn't as unsmiling as he was now, and still had a little bit of greenness, didn't dare to look at her openly, only dared to glance with his eyes.
Even shy when seen by her, with red ears, pretending to be calm to answer her questions.
"Want to, haven't watched a movie with you for a long time!" Lin Zhao smiled.
"Then go." Gu Chenghuai led her to the cinema, letting go of her hand immediately when meeting people on the road, only holding hands when there was no one, his eyes as if installed on his wife, never seeing enough.
"What if the cubs are waiting for me to go home at the entrance of the village." Lin Zhao hesitated, her conscience hurt for a moment.
"It's okay, there are family members watching." Gu Chenghuai didn't care.
He never thought about using four cubs to tie his wife. Zhaozhao is Lin Zhao first, then his wife, then the mother of four children, then the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.
"You don't miss them at all." Lin Zhao said as if unintentionally.
"Miss, how could I not miss, those are the priceless treasures you shed so much blood to give birth to, I can't not miss." Gu Chenghuai didn't speak much in front of his wife, saying whatever he had to say, afraid Zhaozhao would feel he was dull.
"There is plenty of time at night to cultivate feelings with them, I just want to be alone with you now." His gaze was focused and serious.
In the sun, the whole person was shining.
Lin Zhao looked up slightly, just seeing his sexy and charming Adam's apple, lips that were easy to kiss.
She smiled, her voice responding pleasantly: "...... I want to too."
Gu Chenghuai lowered his eyes, wanting to kiss her, but couldn't.
He withdrew his gaze sadly, leading her to the cinema.
"The day I talked to you on the phone, I took Seeing Seeing Dazai and Hearing Hearing Erzai to watch a movie, they were so happy, and talked to the children of the brigade for several days." Lin Zhao remembered taking her sons to watch a movie last time, and shared this interesting thing with the cubs' father.
Gu Chenghuai's mind conjured up a picture.
The gentle and beautiful wife holding two sons, the eldest son steady and quiet, not saying much, looking at his mother and smiling very sweetly, the second son jumping up and down, his mouth talking non-stop, asking this and that, curious about everything, his eyes bright, very similar to the clear and bright eyes of Zhaozhao when she first saw him.
Making people's hearts collapse instantly, suddenly soft.
"You've worked hard." He said seriously, holding Lin Zhao's hand and tightening it slightly, regret and heartache flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't be by their side, failing Zhaozhao and the four cubs, and his parents.
Lin Zhao shook her head, her smile sweet, "It's okay, you know, Seeing Seeing Dazai and Hearing Hearing Erzai are very obedient, won't make me worry, you are the one who worked hard."
Not seen for a long time, the couple had endless words, especially Gu Chenghuai, who had a belly full of doubts about his wife's changes, wanting to ask but afraid of stepping on any thunder, making Zhaozhao mistakenly think he was blaming her for not caring about the children before, so he could only stuff it in his heart first, observing the situation first.
"Are you used to work? Tired?"
Lin Zhao's eyes raised softly, "Don't you know the work of a sales clerk? Easy, off work very early, I like it super much."
She shook Gu Chenghuai's arm, her tone light and pleasant, "Cubs' father, you don't know, how much I envied the comrades who were sales clerks when I was in high school."
"I just felt, how can there be such a comfortable job, just arranging goods, greeting when someone comes, doing whatever when no one is there, napping, knitting sweaters are all fine, the treatment isn't bad, it's simply a fairy job."
"Didn't expect I could get in."
"Not afraid of you laughing at me, the night before my first day of work, I was so excited I couldn't sleep for a long time, wanted to talk to someone but..." No one.
Gu Chenghuai heard the implication in her words, his heart tightened suddenly.
Lin Zhao didn't need the cubs' father's guilt. As early as when she agreed to Gu Chenghuai's proposal, she knew he was a soldier, and he must not be like other husbands and fathers who could stay by their side.
It was also the words that reached here.
She curved her eyes and smiled, changing the subject calmly, saying in a joyful tone: "Chenghuai, I am very happy."
Gu Chenghuai's eyes set off waves, "As long as you are happy."
"Happy, being a sales clerk was my ultimate goal when I was in high school." Lin Zhao looked up, looking at the shining branches under the light, the light and shadow casting a layer of soft light on her side face.
"I'm not like others with lofty ideals, is it very strange?" She withdrew her gaze, looked at Gu Chenghuai, her tone slightly teasing.
"Not strange." Gu Chenghuai shook his head, his gaze bright and sincere, "Everyone has their own ambitions, everyone has the right to choose what kind of lifestyle, you are very good."
Lin Zhao's smile increased, "You always know how to coax me to be happy."
In Gu Chenghuai's heart, she was good no matter what.
"Didn't coax you, it's sincere." Gu Chenghuai emphasized.
"I know." So it's even more precious.
The two were talking, their feet didn't stop, walking straight to the cinema.
In front of the ticket window, the comrade selling tickets was still Guo Meizhu.
Some people didn't have the consciousness of queuing, seeing many people and deliberately squeezing forward, several hands reached into the window, making people angry.
Guo Meizhu roared with a delicate face, "What are you doing, what are you doing? All adults, don't know how to queue, one by one adults are not as good as children, that one with a mole on his hand, still squeezing, still squeezing, is it wanting to fish in troubled waters? I've seen it all!"
While scolding.
The movements on her hands didn't stop.
Her eyes were also sharp, no fishing in troubled waters could successfully cheat tickets.
Lin Zhao took everything in front of the ticket window into her eyes, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You know her?" Gu Chenghuai asked.
"Mm, my junior high classmate." She answered.
Seeing Guo Meizhu notice herself, Lin Zhao waved at the ticket window, then stretched out her finger to point at the cinema's position, indicating she wanted to watch a movie and help keep two tickets.
Guo Meizhu nodded, indicating receipt, and got busy again.
Gu Chenghuai saw his wife's mouth was a bit dry, let her stay in the shade, and walked away quickly to buy soda.
Even if the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, the tacit understanding remained. Lin Zhao knew what he went to do, and her eyes and brows were full of smiles.
After Guo Meizhu finished, she came over with two tickets.
"Zhaozhao, your tickets."
Lin Zhao took them, gave the money over, and stuffed a piece of chocolate into her hand by the way.
"Chocolate?! Is it chocolate, Zhaozhao?!" Guo Meizhu hadn't eaten chocolate, heard her cousin in the provincial capital show off, saying it was especially delicious, and all the sugar in the supply and marketing cooperative added together wasn't as delicious as this thing.
"Mm, it's chocolate." Lin Zhao nodded.
"Heard it's very expensive, the supply and marketing cooperative can't buy it, didn't expect you to have it, and send it to me so generously, thank you." Guo Meizhu thanked with a smile.
"No need to thank, you helped me keep the tickets." Lin Zhao said.
Speaking of keeping tickets, Guo Meizhu thought of the person she saw from afar, her eyes shining, "Zhaozhao, who was the person next to you just now? Is it your Third Brother?"
Lin Zhao was slightly startled, shook her head, "No, he is my lover."
This sentence happened to be heard by Gu Chenghuai.
The young soldier, cold and stern like a cold moon, suddenly dissipated the coldness in his black eyes, with a bit of smile on his mouth.
"Ah......?!" Guo Meizhu exclaimed, her expression suddenly became complicated, and a bit strange.
Is this the country person that classmates privately said was earthy and ugly?
Earthy?
Ugly?
All blind!!
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao frowned slightly.
Guo Meizhu didn't want those groundless rumors to affect Zhaozhao's mood, shook her head quickly, "No, nothing. Your lover looks really good."
Worthy of being Lin Zhao's classmate.
She just said, the four words 'self-degeneration' are too far from Lin Zhao, she has always been clear, knowing what she is doing.
"Oh." Lin Zhao didn't pursue, said goodbye to her, and entered the cinema with Gu Chenghuai.
The newly married couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time just entered the cinema, living in a sweet world of two, while the four cubs and two dogs at the entrance of the village were looking forward to it.
"Brother, why hasn't Mother come back yet." Hearing Hearing Erzai couldn't wait to ask.
He and his brother had just finished washing clothes. At this moment, the hems and trouser legs were a bit wet, and the sandals on their feet were covered in mud.
Seeing Seeing Dazai's eyes had been staring at the place where his mother usually appeared, not relaxing for a moment, his brows frowned slightly.
Fourth Cub tilted her head, blinking her moist and clear big eyes, suddenly spitting out two confused words: "...... Lost?"
Hearing Hearing Erzai grinned, bursting into a loud mockery, deliberately dragging the tone, "You think Mother is you......?"
"Hahahaha!!"
"Mother is an adult! Adult!! How can an adult get lost? Stupid Fourth Cub!"
The little milk ball was so angry her cheeks were red, her lotus-root-like arms swung into a propeller like a small windmill, the whole person like a little cat with exploded hair... rushing over with a howl.
"Bad brother!" ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
