marriage is natural

Chapter 24 Fry the pot!
"Hula-"

The group chat window exploded.

In a few seconds, a dozen "Dididi" message notification sounds sounded.

"Zhuge!!!! This is really your future wife?????"

"Fuck! Zhuge, you are still human!!! You actually took a junior high school girl..."

"Really? I haven't heard you mention it, or did I just meet you in Qingshi? Have you gotten started yet?"

"Crazy, Zhuge! How many years later will you be able to be the father of a little girl? How dare you do it?"

"..."

Gu Xu laughed silently until his shoulders shook, and his slender index finger slid back and forth on the phone screen, counting, well, except for a certain guy, everything else was bubbling.

Gu Xuren and the others continued to fry the pot, closed the mobile phone contentedly, and turned it off, ready to concentrate on appreciating the antique calligraphy and paintings that will be exhibited soon, and check if there are any suitable ones, and take pictures to send to the old man, but he saw Tao Defu staring at look at him.

"Old Tao, are you okay?"

How dare Tao Defu directly ask the doubts in his heart? Don't look at the big boss who is very amiable with a smile, but anyone who has been with him at close range will know that this is definitely an illusion. Don't look at the smile on the person's face. A typical smiling tiger who can break two ribs of an unruly guy in the store.

So he dared to think about some things in his heart, but he definitely didn't dare to say them on the stage. He said that he would be the one who broke his ribs and packed up and left.

Therefore, at this moment, Tao Defu wiped his sweat and shook his head: "No, it's okay."

Gu Xu looked at him inquiringly for a few times, and seeing that he really didn't mean to say anything, he ignored him and turned his head to the stands.

……

"Good boy! The points have surpassed me!"

He Qingdong, who had just come off the training ground, was punched by the captain.

The latter two brothers put their arms around his shoulders nicely, and their slightly exaggerated smiles looked a little neurotic to He Qingdong, but they still blinked at him vigorously like those women in the condolence group who winked at him, and finally suppressed it. He asked in a low voice: "I heard those boys are guessing, are you talking about someone?"

"Do you believe it?" He Qingdong squinted at him.

"...I don't really believe it!" The captain hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head.

He Qingdong retracted his gaze, and said in his heart: You don't believe it yourself.

He took his mobile phone from the coat pocket on his right shoulder.

In the late autumn season, the upper body is a black slim vest and a camouflage training jacket. He took it off and threw it aside in the first half of the training.At this moment, I remembered that the phone was still turned off, and seeing that it was the end of a month, the old man might call to express his condolences.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned it on, he was automatically dragged into a certain group chat window, and a series of exclamation points above it and the full screen of "Desperate" flashed his brain aching.A group of guys who are full and have nothing to do!

"You said, that soft girl just now is really Zhuge's future wife? You can't be joking, right?"

"Others may be joking, when have you seen Zhuge joking?"

"Tsk! I didn't expect Zhuge to like such a tender type... No wonder I didn't see him having any interest when I went out to play. I thought he was too old for a long time, hahaha..."

Seeing this, He Qingdong couldn't help bubbling: "Zhuge has a date?"

"Ah Qing, you finally came up. We've been chatting for a long time. You don't know how crazy that guy Zhuge is, and he actually found a junior high school girl. Here, let me show you the photos, so you don't have to search all over the screen..."

A certain enthusiastic princeling had long saved the photo that Gu Xu posted earlier, and when he saw He Qingdong was online, he immediately posted it, "Look, can you be a father now?"

"Gu-xu-"

He Qingdong roared angrily, ignoring that the captain was still nagging in his ears about the blind date that his hometown was going to give him, so he rushed to the dormitory. There was no way, the car keys were in the dormitory, and he called Gu Xu while rushing. But no matter how he dialed, the electronic tone of "The phone you dialed has been turned off, please try again later" came through.

The people who were scrolling through the group chat window saw that He Qingdong didn't respond for a long time, and said that he was delayed by something. His unit was not as idle as they were, so they didn't care. One that no longer bubbles.

"Hey—Xiaohe! Where are you going?"

Just as He Qingdong rushed out of the dormitory with the car keys, he was stopped by the instructor.

"Qing City."

"Qingshi? You seem to be going to Qingshi all the time recently. Could it be that your sweetheart is waiting for you there? Oh hehehe..."

Don't say it, I was half right.

"Is the instructor looking for something for me?"

"Oh, yes! Old A called and asked you to return to the team immediately."

Old A is the contact person of the special task force, as long as he comes to look for it, nine out of ten the special task force has a task.

He Qingdong cursed angrily, but the task came first and he had to obey the order of the organization.

On the way to the assembly point of the Special Task Force, seeing that someone's mobile phone was still unreachable, he simply returned to the group chat window and sent a message that caught everyone's attention: "This is my future wife of He Qingdong!!! Zhuge Take care of him|Mom, hurry up and explain it to me!!!”

After sending, exit the group chat window, lock the screen, and shut down the phone.

In the group chat window, there was a silence like a dead crow, and someone posted first: Damn it! ! !With another horrified expression, the window exploded again.

"Hurry up! Hurry up and take a screenshot of that sentence, hahaha—that kid Ah Qing actually has today..."

"Damn it, I thought I was delusional, but it's true!!! Last time, who said that since Ah Qing was admitted to the Special Forces selection camp, he didn't eat meat at all, and changed his career to become a monk? He secretly had a relationship with a junior high school student Ruan girls are dating, and they are also future wives... Puff ha ha ha—"

"I feel like I'm losing my mind. Whose future wife is it? What happened to this... Where's Zhuge? Could it be that this guy really robbed Ah Qing's future wife, so he hid himself and didn't dare to say anything? Zhuge Gu—— Fox Gu—”

"It seems that I really went to Qingshi, do you want to..."

"Kill it?"

"I happened to be going south to discuss a project."

"I am ordered by the old man to go to Qingshi to visit a retired veteran cadre."

"I... Hey! Are you really planning to go?"

"..."

……

When Gu Xu saw the warning words from He Qingdong, he had already returned to Yuxiu Pavilion.

In the bathroom, I released the tea I had spent all morning, and straightened the collar of my shirt in front of the mirror. I suddenly remembered that my phone hadn't been turned on yet, so I didn't know that so many messages popped up after I turned it on.

"This guy……"

Quickly scanning the entire screen, I was really speechless. Wasn't it just a joke, I didn't see the words "future wife" in quotation marks.

Gu Xu shook his head with a smile, but it can be seen from this that the guy is serious, and he is serious like never before.

In my impression, no woman has ever made him lose control, and it's still so out of control.

As for the other bunch of people who were full and had nothing to do, he didn't plan to pay attention to them. If they all flocked to Qingshi, his brain would hurt.

Dismiss the group chat mode calmly, set the phone to silent and put it in his trouser pocket, wash his face with water, and go out refreshed.

……

The antique calligraphy and painting exhibition ended, and the He Wei brothers and sisters also found a place to have lunch.

Yugu Alley is also one of the tourist attractions in Qingshi, so there are not many restaurants.The big ones are like Juxian Building, while the small ones are like barbecue stalls, biscuit shops, steamed bun shops, etc.

Brother and sister like to eat noodles. In late autumn, eating a bowl of steaming big bone soup noodles is a kind of enjoyment.

After eating the noodles, He Xidong continued to open the stall at the end of the alley.

Although the family does not have to worry about money now, he does not intend to give up this part-time job, but it is not as stressful as before, and he enjoys it as a hobby.

No, in the sack in the bun shop, apart from a bunch of old gadgets bought for sale, there is also a book on antique appraisal.

If it is said that the purpose of selling second-hand goods in the past was to survive, then from now on, he intends to develop into the road of antiques.

One day, he hopes that he can also be like the antique masters at the exhibition just now, talking with one after another about the authentic works of the ancient dynasty...

He Wei clearly said that she was going home to do her homework, and when He Xidong was no longer in sight, she turned around and walked into Yuxiu Pavilion.Feeling a little guilty in her heart, it's too scary to get used to it, and now she doesn't change her face when she tells a lie.

According to the clerk, Boss Yuan has picked out the family photos and sent them to the shop.

Her task today is to magnify and depict it on the silk surface.

Family portrait embroidery, to put it bluntly, is to embroider portraits of people together.The common method in this era is to print family photos on silk, but He Wei is not used to it, she likes hand-painting.

In this regard, thanks to her profound painting skills.

In my previous life, I was not ideal in the high school entrance examination, and I felt it was a pity to give up. In the end, I applied for a four-year junior college in the provincial capital with a focus on art. After graduation, I said that I could get a college diploma.

Before that, she was actually not good at painting, but since she studied this, she would probably have to rely on this craft to make a living after graduation. Therefore, after four years in school, she thought she had studied hard.

After traveling to the Yongqing Dynasty, he practiced traditional Chinese painting for ten years based on the original foundation.

After getting the family portrait, he compared the colors on the photo and asked Zhou An for silk thread for embroidery, and then asked for a piece of cooked rice paper for sketching.

She wanted to use the thinnest cicada wings to publish, but there were none in the store, only relatively thick calligraphy and painting paper.But it doesn't matter, it's just a draft anyway, and the front drawing is to be sketched on the silk surface.

Take the materials and go up to the workshop on the second floor.

It’s not even lunch break yet, and the embroidery workers are sitting around chatting and drinking tea in twos and threes.Seeing He Wei coming in, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and he took a few beats before greeting: "Xiaohe is here. Are you here to do some work?"

"Yes." He Wei nodded at them with a smile, then came to her embroidery frame and put down the materials in her hand.Half a day in the afternoon had to paint the family portrait on silk, and she didn't have enough time, so she had to hurry up.

The other embroiderers couldn't help feeling strange when they saw her sit down and quietly draw pictures with a pen and paper.

Zhao Furong walked over first and asked, "Xiaohe, what are you doing?"

As he said that, he picked up the family photo on the table and looked at it. He didn't see anything special, and asked, "Is this your family photo?"

"No." He Wei shook her head, "It's for embroidery."

"Embroidery?" Zhao Furong raised her voice slightly, looked at He Wei in surprise, and couldn't believe it: "You mean, you want to make this family portrait into embroidery?"

How much work does this take.The key is, can it embroider well?

It's not that she has never learned portrait embroidery, but it's not easy to embroider well. Before the advanced embroidery skill test, she tried to embroider a pair, and the embroidered one was the popular star on the poster, but she was not satisfied no matter how she looked at it. It is still in the study at home to collect dust.

Now, when He Wei said that she was going to embroider portraits of people, and it was a family portrait of nearly 20 people, Zhao Furong was surprised, but she couldn't help looking forward to seeing how high He Wei could embroider.If such a family portrait can be embroidered by her to look like a photo, then she, Zhao Furong, is completely convinced.

Before He Wei came in, Yu Yajun, who was still standing in front of the south window holding herbal tea to bask in the afternoon autumn sun, stopped drinking tea at the moment and sat down in front of her embroidery frame with a dazed expression.

What did you say last time?There is a 13-year-old girl, even if she knows ancient embroidery, it is unlikely that anyone will come to ask her to take a big order, because she has not even received a senior embroidery certificate, let alone a reputation.Generally speaking, there is no buyer who knows a little about embroidery and does not want her embroidery to come from the hands of a master. Although she has not yet been called a master, when she goes out to study or communicate with colleagues, she can at least pin it on her chest. What is He Wei, the famous brand of "Senior Embroidery Worker"? !

But what about the facts?Is it really as she thought, only making some popular embroidery sold in the store?
totally not!

As far as she knew, after He Wei finished mending Zhao Shirong's ancient embroidery screen, she immediately received a large order. Although she didn't embroider in the shop, she saw Zhou An receiving the embroidery thread.

This time, it seems that they have received another terrific order.

People and portrait embroidery, as long as they are knowledgeable people, know the difficulty of this kind of embroidery, which is no less than double-sided embroidery.

Yuxiu Pavilion, is this the rhythm of letting her and Zhao Furong sit on the bench?
Whether you can pick it up or whether you want to pick it up is one thing, but without asking, just hand it over to a little girl who just came to the store not long ago and didn't even get a senior embroidery certificate, isn't it too much?
