I loved you so deeply

Chapter 7 First Acquaintance (2)
I remember that on the eve of the wedding, he had dinner with Chen Zhanbei and a few people. During the dinner, when his wedding was mentioned, they teased him that he got a good young and beautiful girl.Chen Zhanbei drank too much, hooked his neck and said: "Pang Zheng, Gu Jin is a straight-minded girl. If you don't stop her, she will run all the way to the dark. Trust me, or you don't touch her." She, wait until you find a suitable opportunity to make two breakups without delaying anyone, if you touch her, she will be able to stick with you for the rest of your life."

Pang Zheng was not very happy at the time. Although he hadn't married Gu Jin yet, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard people say that about her.

Chen Zhanbei waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. It's not that Gu Jin touched his hands, it's you. You can't let go of this barrier in your own heart alone. We know you too well, and we don't mean to curse you. If you and Gu Jin It's really that day, once you have this kind of relationship, think about whether you can still walk so neatly."

Pang Zheng licked the corner of his mouth and refused to give up. Rather than saying that he did not give up, it would be better to say that he did not believe in evil.

After getting married, he and Gu Jin really slept in separate rooms, or he was waiting for an opportunity.He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to have a relationship with Gu Jin without feeling uneasy.

But until the opportunity came today, Pang Zheng suddenly realized that he and Gu Jin would never reach the step he thought he could reach.

If someone asked Gu Jin: "Do you now regret choosing to marry without hesitation when you were still young? Maybe you will meet many better people in the future, you will meet someone who is more suitable for you, you will meet People who treat you better than Pang Zheng, do you regret it?"

Gu Jin's answer must be, no.

She knew that if she waited a little longer, she might meet a husband who loved her [-] times more than Pang Zheng, but Gu Jin also knew that she would never have the chance to meet a lover who could make her so heartbroken.

In fact, she and Pang Zheng haven't known each other for long, including the six months of their marriage, it's only a little over a year.

At that time, Gu Jin had just graduated from university and was busy looking for a job.When Gu Jin was in college, Gu's mother always lived in her hometown C City, and only occasionally took the train to take care of Gu Jin when she was on vacation.

After Gu Jin graduated, Gu's mother was worried about her and worried that she would suffer losses if she wandered outside alone, so she moved in to live with her.

During those days, Gu Jin left home early every day and would not come back until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. In order to replenish her body, Gu's mother would go to the vegetable market far away from home to buy delicious food for her during the day.It was one morning, when Gu Jin got up early, she muttered that she wanted to drink oyster soup, and Gu's mother remembered it in her heart.

Wandering around the fish market at noon, Mama Gu heard someone calling her, "Ruoping?"

Gu's mother's surname is Feng, and her name is Feng Ruoping. She just retired early this year. She had been the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in City C. When she heard this, she thought it was a friend she had interviewed before. There stood a woman about her own age.

The weather in early June, the woman was holding an expensive bag, wearing a homely lavender silk skirt, her hair was combed in a generous bun at the back, her face was well maintained, and a man in his thirties followed behind her Housekeeping aunt, housekeeping aunt is full of vegetables and fruits.

Gu's mother was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person in front of her was very familiar, but she couldn't remember the name of the other person, or she didn't dare to recognize him after so many years.

The woman in the lavender skirt took another two steps forward, grabbed Mama Gu's hand, a little excitedly: "Ruoping! It's really you!"

Gu's mother was also a little surprised, and asked uncertainly: "Are you the lover of the next deputy captain?"

The two of them groaned at the same time, as if they had encountered some great surprise.Older people are very fond of their old friends when they were young, not to mention Mrs. Pang has always felt ashamed.

The origin of Pang and Gu's two families starts from a shipwreck accident more than ten years ago.

At that time, Gu Jin's father, Gu Yongming, was also in the navy, and he was under the then deputy captain Pang Lei, who was mainly responsible for the daily supplies on the ship.Gu Yongming is honest and honest, very popular, and has a good relationship with Pang Lei. The two live in the same family building on the island. Occasionally, when there is some rare food allowance, Pang Lei always invites Gu Yongming's family to have dinner.

Later, the army dispatched an emergency mission, and all the officers and soldiers on the island were busy with that mission, and Gu Yongming even didn't go home for a week because it involved confidentiality.On the day of going out to sea, the pier was full of family members who came to see him off. Mother Gu hugged Gu Jin and waved to Gu Yongming from a distance. Waiting for her father to come back and bring her colorful stones and shells.

Amidst the sounds of horns and sirens, Gu Jin and her mother sent off her father and many uncles and uncles who were kind and kind to her on this island.

The accident happened five days later, when Gu's mother picked up Gu Jin from school after work, before she even walked to the door of the house, she faintly felt that the atmosphere was not right.There was a palpitating silence in the usually always lively family compound. A military green jeep was parked in front of the unit building, and Pang Lei and the chief in white navy uniform were waiting on the side.

Seeing Gu Jin and her mother, Pang Lei let the female soldiers take Gu Jin away first, and then looked at Feng Ruoping with a heavy face.

"As Yong Ming's superior, I am very sad and sorry."

Looking at Pang Lei's frowning eyebrows and mournful eyes, Gu's mother only felt the darkness in front of her eyes, and there was a bang in her head, as if the sky had collapsed.

Shipwreck, whereabouts unknown.On the way to the place where the accident happened, these eight words pressed on Gu's mother's heart, causing her to almost collapse.The head of the base advised her not to take Gu Jin with her, but the six-year-old girl had a premonition that something had happened at home, so she burst into tears and refused to let Feng Ruoping go alone.

There was thick mist on the river that day, and it was another cloudy day. The surface of the water near dusk was covered with a layer of hazy yellow. In the distance, there were still sirens whistling and passing by, and a long cordon was drawn on the river bank. Salvage ships work on it.

It was looking for Gu Jin's father and the soldiers who were in distress together.

Pang Lei stood beside Gu's mother, full of remorse and guilt.

"He and I were assigned to work together on another ship. Unexpectedly, something happened and the ship capsized. In order to protect the supplies on the ship, he bought me time and smashed the porthole to let me jump out first. Bottles..." Pang Lei couldn't continue, he looked at Gu Yongming's military uniform with tears streaming down his face, the clothes were wet, there was nothing else but the cold sea water.

The search and rescue activities went on for a whole day and night. When Gu Yongming's body was brought up, Gu's mother tightly covered Gu Jin's eyes, and finally passed out from exhaustion.

Then came the funeral. In a small auditorium on the island, Gu Jin and her mother were dressed in black and stood in front of her father's body to accept condolences.

The head of the base said that the organization will arrange Feng Ruoping and Gu Jin's work and school in the future, so that the martyrs can leave without any worries. Pang Lei and his wife also cried bitterly at the funeral. They suffer a little grievance.

But Gu's mother looked at Gu Yongming surrounded by white flowers, and knew that there are some things that cannot be changed no matter how much they make up for. No matter how smooth the future is, it cannot be changed.

The base gave the Gu family a pension, not a small amount, which was the most they could get for the mother and daughter.At that time, there was an accident and Pang Lei was going to be investigated. At this time, Gu's mother packed her luggage and took Gu Jin back to her hometown in C City. She also took away Gu Yongming's ashes.

She doesn't want to live by the word "martyr's family" for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want Gu Jin to be called a child without a father by those innocent children in the family building, and there are parents and parents-in-law to take care of, and bear the pain of bereavement They always need someone to comfort them.Gu's mother cut off all contact with the island, and the army came to her several times, but she refused.

In this way, Feng Ruoping, in her thirties, shouldered all the burdens, pulling Gu Jin to live in C City alone, taking care of his parents with longing for her deceased husband, and bearing the pressure of life to raise her daughter. .

More than ten years later, Mrs. Pang never thought that she would have the opportunity to see Mama Gu again. She held onto Mama Gu's hand and refused to let go. The two walked and talked together.

Mrs. Pang spoke very quickly: "I have been asking where you two have been all these years. The old man was transferred to Zhanjiang later. I returned to City B with him a few years ago. This old man... During the Chinese New Year, I will talk about you in private, lest you have a bad life."

Gu's mother smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were obviously much more than that of the woman opposite: "It's hard for you to think about us so much. When you left, you didn't say hello. You took your daughter back to visit your parents and parents-in-law. Old Gu just went. I was afraid that they would need someone to take care of them when they were old, so I moved the family back."

The same women, they all experienced wind and rain together in the past years, and they all lived together in the military family building where the wake-up call was blown at six o'clock every morning, but after more than ten years, the situation is so different.

When Mrs. Pang heard Gu's mother say this, she couldn't help but sigh: "You, you just have too strong a personality..."

It was a rare encounter today, and Madam Gu couldn't be allowed to leave without saying anything, Mrs. Pang invited her into the car all the way and took her home directly.

Now the neighbor's house is no longer the red-tiled compound of the past, but a single-family villa. There is a special person standing guard at the door, and even the driver and the car are different from those in the past.

The Pang family is an aristocratic family. As early as Pang Lei's father's generation was a soldier who contributed to the country at sea, it is only logical that he has developed into the current situation.

Just when Pang Lei came back from get off work, he was surprised when he saw Mama Gu, and then he invited her into the study with great emotion. At night, he felt that the conversation was not finished, so he insisted on keeping her at home for dinner.

Gu's mother declined: "Jinjin is about to leave work, and I have to cook for her when I go back."

When Gu Jin was mentioned, Pang Lei's eyes lit up again, and he was very happy: "Jin Jin is also in City B? Now it's time to... graduate from college? You're a grown girl, do you have a boyfriend? Where do you work? ?”

Pang Lei felt sorry from the bottom of his heart for not hearing from the mother and daughter after these years. He always thought that the two people in the Gu family might be his lifelong regrets. He never thought that there would be a day when they would meet again. He was sincere. Wishing I could do something for them.

"I don't have a boyfriend yet, and now I've been concentrating on finding a job, and I can't catch her every day." Mama Gu was still as kind and calm as before, she stood up, "Old man, I know what you care about, but all these years I You and your daughter have survived, so let the matter pass, after all, Lao Gu also had an accident, you don't have to... blame yourself so much."

After all, she is the wife of a martyr, her character and arrogance have not changed a bit over the years.

Gu's mother didn't want Pang Lei to feel that she came to collect debts. Compared with this way of meeting, she preferred to be a friend who reunited with them after a long time.Pang Lei and his wife understood Gu's mother's meaning without saying too much: "Then stay here for dinner and call Jin Jin, her aunt and I miss her very much after not seeing her for so many years, so we will be the narrator of the two families." Reminiscing about the past."

It's all said and done, Gu's mother didn't refuse anymore, she called Gu Jin, and Pang Lei specially asked her driver to pick it up.

Pang Lei and his wife live in the Pang family, and the whole family is busy because of the arrival of Gu's mother and daughter, and Mrs. Pang even cooks for herself.

Gu Jin's impression of Pang Lei is a little fuzzy. When Gu Yongming passed away, Gu Jin was only six years old. Gu's mother did not tell Gu Jin the specific reason for his father's death. In Gu Jin's impression, she only vaguely remembered that Pang Lei lived in Uncle Pang upstairs next door would bring some fresh seafood for himself every time he came back from the sea.

How did Pang Lei look at Gu Jin during the banquet? I haven't seen you for many years. The girl with two braids has grown into a slim girl with a good personality. She doesn't feel stage fright when she sees elders she hasn't seen for many years. She slaps her openly Greetings, especially when you smile, the corners of your mouth are slightly upturned, and your eyes are curved, which is very pleasing.

"How old is Jin Jin this year?"

"After the new year, I will be 23 years old."

"That's great." Pang Lei said with emotion, "Thanks to having such a girl by your side as your companion, unlike Lao Shen and I, who have raised a son who stays away from home every day, and he is not too young, and he has not yet grown up. There's a place at home."

At that time, Pang Lei was serving as a soldier on the island, and his grandfather couldn't bear to let his grandson suffer with him, so he kept his grandson by his side, so Mama Gu only heard that there was a boy in the Pang family, and she had never seen her for so many years.

Gu Jin ate carefully, and Gu's mother looked at her daughter and smiled: "It's all the same. In the future, my daughter will not be able to stay with me after she gets married."

Pang Lei intentionally raised Gu Jin's personal question: "Jin Jin, now that you're at work, do you have any boyfriends outside? Those who were in school before also count."

Gu Jin said honestly that she was not in a hurry.Pang Lei smiled meaningfully. Except for Gu Jin, the three parents present here seemed to have a mirror in their hearts.

Suddenly there was the sound of a car engine at the door, and the auntie went to open the door, and it wasn't long before she heard her shouting happily outside the door: "I really can't help but say that Cao Cao will be here soon."

Everyone at the table looked up at the door, it was the first time Gu Jin saw Pang Zheng.

He has the most masculine crew cut, tall and tall, wearing a spotless white shirt, and carrying a black suit jacket in his hand. He lowered his head and answered messages while walking, his original casual expression changed slightly when he saw the people in the restaurant. He restrained himself, as if he didn't expect to have guests at home.

He greeted Gu Jin and Gu's mother gracefully, his voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had a cold.

When Pang Lei saw his son, his face was full of joy, and he pulled him to introduce: "This is the lover of my former comrade-in-arms, that is, Gu Yongming [see the note above, with the same name.] Uncle Gu who I mentioned to you, and his daughter. After finishing speaking, he introduced to the mother and daughter of the Gu family, "Jinjin, Ruoping, this is my son."

He looked at the girl standing by the table with a pair of introverted and deep eyes, with a calm expression, and the two of them met their eyes. He stretched out his hand to her across the table and shook it politely: "Hello, Pang Zheng."

After dinner, Pang Lei asked Pang Zheng to send Gu Jin's mother and daughter home on the grounds that it was too late. Gu's mother refused several times, but Pang Lei's attitude was firm: "It's so late, what's the matter with letting you two go back by yourself?" Son, this kid is idle at home, so you treat him like your own son!"

Pang Zheng also took the car keys and waited at the door, and tried to persuade him, "It's really not safe to go back so late, I'll see you off."

Seeing this, Gu's mother couldn't refuse, so she had to say "how embarrassing" while exchanging pleasantries with Pang Lei and his wife.

Pang Zheng and the others walked a few steps first, and opened the car door for Gu Mama very politely.

After Gu's mother got into the car, Pang Lei and his wife stood outside the window and held her hand: "Ruoping, you have settled down in City B now, and you must come over to see her more often in the future. Now that Lao Shen is not in good health, he is also retiring." I’m usually not at home when I’m at the grassroots level, so you two should be companions like before.” After finishing talking, Pang Lei and his wife turned around and held Gu Jin’s hand tightly, “My dear girl, I’ll be free in the future.” I often visit my uncles and aunts, treat this place as my own home, and if you have anything to do, you can go to the side, remember, you can do anything, don’t let it go!"

Across the car, Gu Jin and Pang Zheng, who were standing on both sides of the car, looked up at each other almost at the same time. Gu Jin quickly turned his eyes away and bid farewell to Pang Lei and his wife obediently.

Pang Zheng's car is very clean, there is no pungent perfume smell in the car, nor any extra decorations.He is very focused when driving, and when he shifts gears, he will unconsciously put his hands on it lazily, revealing his slender fingers and wrist watch. The white shirt he wears is the only outstanding color among the all-black accessories in the car, and the street lights flicker at night However, it made him extraordinarily calm.Gu Jin and his mother sat in the back row, the atmosphere was very quiet, only the voice of Gu's mother talking and chatting with him occasionally.
