During the 30-hour journey, Qiu Xiaochan went from high spirits at first to sluggishness later, but no matter what, she rested for more than ten hours, but Gu Wenqian was busy taking care of her and looking at her luggage, and never closed her eyes.
Qiu Xiaochan felt sorry for him and asked him to squint for a while, but he just shook his head and smiled, "It will be there soon, there are so many people in the car, I don't worry about you being alone."
In the dim yellow light, Qiu Xiaochan leaned quietly on his shoulder, feeling extremely peaceful in her heart. Gu Wenqian held her hand, the corners of her lips naturally raised, occasionally looking down at her, smelling the faint fragrance in her hair.
The sky was getting darker and darker until it was pitch black. At around ten o'clock at night, the train slowly stopped at the terminal station, and the whole carriage became lively in an instant. Gu Wenqian took the luggage from the shelf above his head, protected his wife and let the other passengers go ahead. After the hustle and bustle subsided, he took Qiu Xiaochan out of the car.
The capital railway station looks more grand than the county railway station. There are crowds of people outside the carriage. Gu Wenqian is already very familiar with the station, so he directly led Qiu Xiaochan to the exit, and said as he walked, "Every time I come back, my uncle is waiting for me at the exit." , I think today is the same, you follow me and don't get lost."
Qiu Xiaochan obediently said "Yes", unlike him carrying luggage in both hands, she only had one satchel all over her body, which contained change and tickets, and all the food she had brought had been eaten up along the way.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Qiu Xiaochan finally saw the sign with the word "exit" ahead, and Gu Wenqian suddenly stopped and smiled, put down his luggage and waved towards the opposite side.
"It's uncle and cousin, let's go there quickly."
He smiled broadly, apparently really happy to reunite with his family after a long absence, Qiu Xiaochan followed his gaze and saw a father and son who were also waving, but they were too far apart to see clearly.
"Uncle, Ze Ting, this is my wife Qiu Xiaochan. Xiaochan, this is my uncle, this is my cousin."
Qiu Xiaochan greeted her with a smile, and her uncle and cousin were also very gentle and concerned about their situation on the road.
After being brief and reserved, the uncle patted Gu Wenqian on the back and said, "Okay, let's go back. Your mother has been looking forward to it since she received the letter. She hasn't eaten well or slept well these days. I'm afraid I can sleep well tonight." gone."
After finishing speaking, they went to the parking lot together. In order to pick them up, my cousin asked a friend to borrow a car.
My uncle's house is located in Chongwen District within the Second Ring Road, adjacent to the Temple of Heaven Park, a courtyard with the style of the old capital. The gray tiles and gray walls, and the small red door are said to have been handed down from the ancestors. During the Republic of China, the ancestors abandoned literature and went to business and renovated them. Therefore, the whole courtyard has both classical beauty and modern characteristics.
Pushing open the door, the heavy copper door didn't make any creaking noises, but the people in the house still felt it and came out of the house one after another. Qiu Xiaochan saw her mother-in-law He Suling whom she had never met in the middle of the night, dressed in plain color She wore a black coat with a black cashmere shawl, her hair was pulled neatly behind her head, and there was an indescribable elegance all over her body.
While Qiu Xiaochan was observing her mother-in-law, He Suling was also concerned about this daughter-in-law. Although she believed that her son's vision was not bad, she was worried if she hadn't seen her with her own eyes.
At this time, I saw a girl with an oval face walking towards her, with a twisted braid, a few strands of hair scattered around her ears, curvy eyebrows and a beautiful nose, bright eyes, wearing a navy blue coat, simple and neat, He Suling liked it at first sight on.
Aunt Yao Zhilan brought her cousin Sun Jiarong to greet her first, and warmly grabbed Qiu Xiaochan's hand and said happily, "Xiaochan, good boy, you are so handsome, just as I imagined."
The sister-in-law agreed, "Isn't it? She looks like an aunt faintly, so it's not like the family doesn't enter the house."
My aunt said to Gu Wenqian, "Sure enough, she is married, and she looks different."
Although I also smiled when I came back the last two times, my eyes were dimmed, and I looked depressed when I was silent, but now even my eyebrows are stretched out, which shows that I have lived a good life after marriage.
At this time, He Suling also came slowly from the steps. Looking closely, there were already signs of age on her face, silver threads were hidden in her hair, and her smile was gentle and kind.
"Xiao Chan, I'm so happy to meet you. I've always regretted that I couldn't go to your wedding with Wen Qian."
Xiaochan quickly shook her head, "Mom, it's okay, I have received all your blessings."
The aunt smiled and said to He Suling, "Look, this 'Mom' is so natural, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stand together like sisters."
It was cold and windy outside the house late at night in November. My cousin knew that my aunt He Suling was weak, and she was afraid that she would catch the cold, so she suggested, "Mom, aunt, let's go in and talk. Wen Qian and Xiao Chan must be tired from the long car ride." broken."
"Yes, hurry up and enter the house. I have prepared a lot of food for you. Although it is not early, I still have to set up a table for you to clean up."
The living room is very big. After entering the room, Gu Wenqian and He Zeting put down their luggage first. Aunt and cousin went to the kitchen to prepare food. He Suling stayed in the living room to talk with the young couple.
He Suling poured tea for them, and gave Xiaochan some oranges to eat, "Is the journey tiring? It's not easy to take a train for more than 30 hours."
"Fortunately, sitting is not uncomfortable. I heard Wen Qian said that he used to stand all the way back when he couldn't buy a ticket. That's hard work."
He Suling looked at her son distressedly, "Yes, he has been able to endure hardships since he was a child, and he is not afraid that we will worry about it and never say it."
Gu Wenqian had never told his family about these things, but when he heard the conversation between his mother and his wife, he took a sip of water to cover up, and his uncle and cousin also joined the conversation.
There was chatter and laughter in the living room, and the aunt and cousin in the dining room quickly prepared dinner and invited them to the dining room.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so we just made some casually. If it doesn't suit your taste, you must tell us."
Qiu Xiaochan looked at a table full of hard dishes, and knew that others had put their minds to it, so they couldn't be picky.
Gu Wenqian realized that his little nephew and niece were not there, and asked, "By the way, where are Zhuzhu and Qingmin? Are they asleep?"
The cousin smiled and nodded, "Yes, you managed to put them to sleep before you came back, and you even told me before you went to sleep, you must wake them up when you arrive."
Gu Wenqian smiled, "I haven't seen them for a long time, I still think about them, I wonder if they have grown taller again this year."
"We don't feel much when we meet every day at home. Let's compare when we see you tomorrow."
They were talking over there, and here He Suling and her aunt kept picking up vegetables for them, and Qiu Xiaochan's bowl was already full.
The cousin was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and quickly changed the topic to Xiao Chan, praising, "Xiao Chan, you are only twenty-one, you are so young, and you still look so good when you are tired all the way."
"Maybe it's because we are surrounded by mountains and water, and the air is good. The old people say that one side of the water and soil nourishes the other side."
"We have been worried about Wen Qian for the past few years. We are not too young and have never considered personal issues. We did not expect to give us a big surprise. You don't know. He praised you for half a page in the letter. Tomorrow I will write I'll show you the letter."
When Gu Wenqian heard this, he hurriedly turned his head and wanted to stop him, but seeing his cousin's teasing expression, he knew that he couldn't stop her.
My aunt smiled and said, "Your daughter-in-law, why are you ashamed? You dare to boast but you dare not admit it. Your mother's appetite has improved after seeing your new show. She said that Wen Qian finally knows how to hurt others, and she still treats you as if you haven't liked her all your life." people."
Qiu Xiaochan curled the corners of her lips, knowing that everyone said this to let her know that everyone accepted her and liked her. Although it was the first time they met each other, she had already felt enough in this short hour. So much warmth, it turns out that he grew up in such a rich environment, no wonder his heart is so soft, even if it is wrapped in a hard shell, it can't hide the radiance of the heart.
He would not hesitate to jump into the river to save himself who fell into the water, he would accept difficult food because he was afraid of being sad, he would drive away Li San without hesitation when he was in danger, and he would agree to marry him when his reputation was ruined.
After the meal, the mother-in-law and aunt refused her idea of helping to clear the dining table, and asked her cousin to take them back to the house to rest. Qiu Xiaochan and Gu Wenqian followed her side by side, and walked through the corridor to a bedroom.
"This room is specially reserved for Wen Qian. He has always lived here since he was a child, and the room has been rearranged. It's too late today, so you go to bed first. If there is anything missing, let me know tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, she gave Qiu Xiaochan another meaningful smile, "Have a good rest, you don't have to get up early tomorrow, everyone understands how hard the journey is."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Gu Wenqian took Qiu Xiaochan's hand and led her into the room.
The room is large and tidy, with a complete set of elegant furniture, revealing the profound heritage of this home.
Although the He family was branded as a capitalist, apart from damage to their reputation and business, their living environment was not severely hit. Instead, it was Gu Wenqian's father who was hit hard by someone with a heart because of his foreign background.
Gu Wenqian put the suitcase on the ground and unbuttoned the neck. Qiu Xiaochan once teased him about this, why didn't he unbutton it when it was so hot? His answer was that he could only unbutton it in a very private space. , otherwise there would be no sense of security, and she had been brought into an absolutely private space by him as early as after marriage.
"There is a bathroom behind the door, you go wash it first."
Qiu Xiaochan nodded, and took a change of clothes from the suitcase. He knew her and had to take a bath every day. No matter whether the weather was cold or hot, even Zhang Daying said that she had a problem of being poor and fastidious.
The bathroom is quite big. If it wasn’t in the 1970s, it would be more like the bathrooms of many urban families after the reform and opening up. There are even facilities to provide hot water. Qiu Xiaochan started to take off her clothes after filling half a bathtub of water. , The door of the bathroom opened with a "click", and followed Gu Wenqian and walked in.
Qiu Xiaochan in the mist is fair and flawless. For the convenience of taking a bath, she put her long hair on top of her head to reveal her slender neck. Her almond eyes widened from panic are as charming as a deer. Gu Wenqian originally just came in to deliver towels, but was overwhelmed by the alluring scenery in front of her. Stimulate the blood vessels to tense.
At this time, only Liu Xiahui was able to turn a blind eye and turn away. Gu Wenqian could do what Liu Xiahui did to Xiao Chan in front of other opposite sexes, but he couldn't.
When the water was rippling and flowing down the white porcelain lines, Xiao Chan also fell into a firm embrace, kissing her lips hotly.
When she was finally lying on the soft bed exhausted in the early hours of the morning, Qiu Xiaochan was still thinking about what her cousin said at the dinner table.
She lazily closed her eyes and leaned against his chest, her voice was soft and waxy, "I want to know how you praised me in your letter, can you recite it to me?"
Gu Wenqian's arm slowly moved up from her waist, and patted her shoulder to change the subject, "You are tired, go to bed earlier, it is nothing more than saying how well you are, nothing special."
Qiu Xiaochan chuckled, "I don't believe it, if you tell me that I will ask my cousin tomorrow, she is willing to share with me anyway."
As the person concerned, she has the right to know how her husband evaluates herself, which has a crucial impact on their future married life.
If what he said satisfies her, Qiu Xiaochan doesn't mind treating him better. , please keep in mind:,.
