Your promise, my sea

Chapter 9 The Person Who Can't Forget
On the fifth day after entering Tibet, the temperature in southern Tibet started a new round of cooling, and heavy snow is forecast.Before the heavy snow fell, Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen hurried back to City C.

As soon as he got off the plane, the warmth that had lasted for several days rushed towards Yan Zhen.After hurriedly picking up her luggage, Yan Zhen stretched comfortably, and as soon as she got out of the terminal, she saw Feng Zhan, who was picking up the plane, waving to them.

"But I'm back, the old lady has been talking about it for days."

By the side of the old lady, the young man Feng Zhan also had some chatter.Gu Huaiyue sneered slightly, but didn't answer the question.But Yan Zhen thought of a little guy, caught Feng Zhan and asked, "Is Jia Ming okay?"

When she asked Feng Zhan, she immediately turned bitter, and looked at Yan Zhen and Gu Huaiyue falteringly.

Yan Zhen felt something was wrong, but Gu Huaiyue remained calm.Gu Jiaming, a little brat, is famous for being able to make troubles, and he didn't expect the little guy to be able to settle down for a few days, so after getting in the car, he rubbed his eyebrows and asked softly, "What's wrong with Jiaming?"

Feng Zhan looked at the road conditions and said, "It's nothing serious. Jia Ming just came back today, and it was grandma who sent him back."

In an instant, Yan Zhen felt Gu Huaiyue's body stiffen.Naturally, Feng Zhan could also see his face through the rearview mirror, so he didn't dare to say anything, and directly increased his horsepower and drove home with all his strength.

When the car stopped at the gate of Gu Yuan, Yan Zhen saw a dark green car at a glance.Yan Zhen had never seen this car in Gu Yuan.Gu Huaiyue glanced at the car hastily, took the luggage from Feng Zhan, and walked straight in.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the hall, he heard low sobbing from inside.When Yan Zhen glanced over, he could see a certain little guy was clinging to the wall of the hall, crying profusely.Yan Zhen frowned involuntarily, while Gu Huaiyue paused, looked back at her, and quickly turned back and walked into the hall.

An elegant-looking woman sat on the sofa in the lobby. She should be an elderly person because she has a lot of white hair on her head.Qi'er's short hair was meticulously styled and subdued.When Yan Zhen stepped into the door, he immediately met her eyes.She was holding a teacup and nodded politely when she saw Yan Zhen.

Before Yan Zhen had time to return the gift, a certain little guy ran over, hugged Gu Huaiyue's leg, and cried even harder: "Dad! Dad, Dad!"

The little guy's voice was very shrill, as if he had been greatly wronged.Yan Zhen wondered, why did he come back so disheveled every time he went to grandma's house?

Gu Huaiyue looked at the little guy without blinking his eyelids.He knew in his heart that this little guy must have committed a serious crime at his grandmother's house, otherwise he would not have been sent back by his grandmother himself.He looked at Yan Zhen and said, "Take him upstairs first." This was regarded as release on bail, and the little guy immediately grabbed Yan Zhen's leg and refused to let go.The commander of the Red Army was defeated for thousands of miles, crying so hard that the Yangtze River was about to burst, Yan Zhen had no choice but to drag him upstairs, leaving Gu Huaiyue and his grandmother to confront each other.

Gu Huaiyue poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of Jia Ming's grandmother, Song Fuzhen.

Song Fuzhen was particular about drinking tea. The cup of tea in front of her had run out of heat but there was still more than half of it left. It seemed that it was not to her taste.It's just that Song Fuzhen no longer had the desire to drink tea, looked at Gu Huaiyue, and asked lightly, "I heard from Xiao Feng that you went to Tibet?"

"En." Gu Huaiyue responded briefly, and sat down opposite her, not planning to mention the trip to Tibet, "What's going on with Jia Ming?"

Song Fuzhen raised her eyebrows, took a sip of tea, snorted and said, "I don't know how you educated him, he's so ruffian." Song Fuzhen has been engaged in education for a long time. Professor, when talking about education, it's natural that Gu Huaiyue would just laugh it off. "This time, it's not a big deal. The year before last, when his grandfather celebrated his birthday, a junior who liked antiques gave him a Song Dynasty vase. As a result, your son got into a fight with the youngest one in the family and broke the vase."

The youngest in the family refers to the child of Song Fuzhen's youngest son, who is about the same age as Jiaming, but when they get along with each other, they always dislike each other.Adults simply cannot understand this kind of deep hatred.

Gu Huaiyue just pondered for a while: "What did the old man say?"

"He didn't say anything. I'm here, just to raise this issue with you. When your son grows up, he must be disciplined properly. You can't always spoil him."

Gu Huaiyue nodded, very teachable.He has to be disciplined, otherwise I will have to be disciplined along with him!
Perhaps Gu Huaiyue's attitude satisfied Song Fuzhen, so she didn't give any further training when she got to the point.There was silence between the two for a while, Song Fuzhen was sipping tea quietly, suddenly she remembered something and put down the teacup again.

"By the way, Huaiyue, who was that woman just now?" Song Fuzhen asked tentatively, seeing Gu Huaiyue raised his head and looked straight at her, the topic changed involuntarily, "I think Jiaming is very close to her." of."

"She is Jia Ming's teacher." Gu Huaiyue said, and added lightly, "She is also my wife."

Professor Song immediately opened his eyes wide, looking at Gu Huaiyue in disbelief.Gu Huaiyue picked up the teapot and calmly refilled her empty teacup: "I just received my marriage certificate a while ago, and the time is urgent, so I didn't have time to notify you."

Professor Song's eyes were about to burst into flames: "Can't we just call and talk about such a big matter?"

"The old lady thinks it's better to talk about such a big matter in person. Now that I'm back, I just take her to your place for a while."

Professor Song was blocked by his own words, and sat there for a while, not knowing what to say.snort!It's the old lady of the Gu family again!
In the room on the second floor, the child told the whole story while wiping away tears.The thing is like this, as soon as the child was sent to his grandmother's house, he found that the little grandson of the Lin family was also there, and the enemy couldn't help being jealous when they met.After two days of fighting for TV, Commander Gu felt that this was not possible, so the two signed a peace agreement.[-], [-], [-], I see, [-], [-], [-], you see, and on Sunday, it is decided by guessing.A few days after this agreement was successfully implemented, the little grandson of the Lin family suddenly felt something was wrong.It seemed as if he suddenly remembered that he had never beaten the little grandson of the Gu family in boxing guessing, no way!

So the agreement was torn up, and the civil war broke out again. The result of the civil war was that the Song Dynasty vase of the old man was smashed.The little grandson of the Lin family suddenly became a grandson, and he was the only one left to die generously!

The child was very disdainful: "Tell me, this kind of person, how can I not despise him! I hate the kind of people who run away on the battlefield, poor soldiers! Hmph!" The child stopped crying at the end, and his expression became More and more determined, like a warrior.

After Yan Zhen finished listening, he was silent for a while, but still couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, and the child suddenly became unhappy: "Teacher, what are you laughing at?"

Yan Zhen took a breath and calmed down: "I was thinking about the way you were crying just now." Wiping away the tears from laughing, she asked him, "You are so reasonable now, why were you crying just now?"

The little girl Gu Jiaming was immediately discouraged, and lowered her head: "It was trained by grandma. She only trained me and not the little grandson of the Lin family, so I knew she didn't love me."

Yan Zhen stopped laughing and touched his head.

After a while, the door opened, and Gu Huaiyue walked in from the outside.Yan Zhen immediately felt the little guy shrink back and rub against her side.

"Gu Jiaming." Gu Huaiyue called him in a low voice, with a serious expression on his face.

The children grabbed Yan Zhen's clothes even more tightly.Yan Zhen suppressed a smile and shook his head at Gu Huaiyue.He raised his eyebrows and said, "Gu Jiaming, pack your things!"

"What are you doing?" The child replied in a muffled voice.

"What are you talking about?" he asked angrily.

The little girl Gu Jiaming immediately tightened her clothes: "Dad, don't send me back." The two little eyebrows were pulled together, looking pitiful.

Normally, Gu Huaiyue wouldn't listen to him, the little guy knew how to be cute since he was a child.But today he just glanced at him from top to bottom, and snorted: "I won't send you back to grandma's house." Even if he thought about it, he might not accept it.

Gu Jiaming immediately relaxed his guard: "Then where are we going?"

"Going home, you have caused such a big incident and you are waiting for grandpa to come back and educate you?"

Sure enough, after speaking, the little guy hugged his leg and shouted: "Chief, help!"

This funny look successfully made Yan Zhen laugh. She simply packed Jia Ming's luggage and put it in the trunk of the cheetah car. When she opened the door and got in the car, she realized that was that home he was going back to? ?
It was the two-bedroom apartment located in the west district of the city.

After getting out of the car, Yan Zhen sighed when he saw the floor where the house was located.Do you want three people to sleep together again tonight?
Gu Huaiyue, chief of staff, also had the same concerns, so the first thing he did when he got home was to check the radiator, and seeing that it was hot, he felt relieved.

When the child returned to his home, he completely relaxed his guard.Leaning on the sofa, my stomach started growling.

"Hungry." The child said pitifully.

Yan Zhen put down his luggage and looked at Gu Huaiyue: "Are there any ingredients for cooking at home?"

It's been less than 10 minutes since I got back, is it possible?Looking at the increasingly pitiful eyes of Gu Jiaming, Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to pick up the car keys that he had just put down.

Near the end of the year, the supermarket is naturally very lively.

Yan Zhen used to stock up on New Year’s goods long in advance during Chinese New Year. He had never been to a supermarket during the end of the year. There were too many people and there was almost no place to shop.The three walked side by side, and were scattered by the crowd several times, so they had to walk side by side.Yan Zhen walked in front of Gu Huaiyue, passing by people from time to time, and occasionally being bumped.However, there is always a pair of hands that will quickly support her, and Yan Zhen's entire face is so hot that he can boil an egg.

The child stood still in the fruit area, pointed to the big red apple and asked, "Teacher, why is your face the same color as it?"

Yan Zhen glared at him quickly, not daring to look back.On the other hand, Gu Huaiyue slightly hooked the corners of his lips, scratched the little guy's nose, and walked forward, and the little guy happily followed behind him.Yan Zhen looked at the backs of the two, bit his lips, and continued to follow with a blushing face.

fresh area.The child pointed and pulled a bunch of prawns over, and the salesperson auntie asked kindly: "My child, can you finish buying so much?"

The child innocently pointed to the two adults next to him: "We are a family of three!"

The salesperson took a look at Yan Zhen and Gu Huaiyue. The handsome men and beautiful women were indeed quite right, so he recommended the grass carp in the big basin even more enthusiastically: "Really? How about another fish?"

So the children went to fish happily again.

Yan Zhen looked at him with joy, but Gu Huaiyue looked away lightly: "Choose something else, your grandma said you are allergic to seafood."

Yan Zhen was a little surprised, Gu Huaiyue glanced at the child: "You stay here with him, I'll go and choose something else, just light ones?"

Yan Zhen nodded subconsciously, until his back disappeared into the crowded crowd before he came back to his senses, took off his gloves and covered his face with his hands, it was terribly hot.

When she had chosen her things and walked out, Yan Zhen suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She closed her eyes, and when the pain passed, she knew that she should buy something to go back. She stopped and said, "You guys first Waiting for me here, I suddenly remembered that there is one more thing I want to buy."

One big and one small suddenly turned around, and Gu Huaiyue asked, "Shall I get it for you?"

Yan Zhen shook his head: "No, I can get it myself."

"It's okay, there are too many people, it's inconvenient for you to walk over."

Saying that he let go of the cart and was about to go there, Yan Zhen hurriedly grabbed him, and said a little embarrassedly: "No, no, it's not convenient for you to get that thing."

Smart as Gu Huaiyue, he understood what it was in an instant. After a moment of embarrassing silence, Gu Huaiyue turned around and grabbed the cart again.Yan Zhen lowered his head and only heard these two conversations. "Gu Jiaming, walk together."

"What?"

"Queue to checkout!"

What an embarrassment, Yan Zhen sighed, and went back into the crowd to find what she wanted.

Because of this, Yan Zhen consciously hid in the kitchen when he got home: "I'm going to prepare dinner!"

The father and son of the Gu family looked at each other, and Chief of Staff Gu decisively picked up the child's back collar and entered the room for re-education.Hearing the door click, Yan Zhen slowed down his movements a little and let out a breath.Turning his head to look at the grass carp and prawns piled up in front of him, he couldn't help feeling amused.

After a while, Gu Huaiyue came out of the room and went directly into the kitchen. He took the grass carp from Yan Zhen's hand: "I'll do it."

He took off his military jacket, and an army green shirt was covered with a dark blue sweater.Perhaps because of the lighting, Yan Zhen felt that he looked much softer.From her point of view, there is an invisible pressure on him in the military uniform, so that every time she looks at him, she tries not to let her gaze lower than the pair of collar flowers on his neckline.Yan Zhen took a step back and watched him busy in front, with skillful and precise movements, as if what he was holding was not a fish, but a gun.

"Where's Jia Ming?" She pretended to ask casually.

"Reflect in the room." Gu Huaiyue said.

Yan Zhen paused and asked, "Did you train him?"

"Small punishment." He put the processed grass carp into the water basin, "otherwise he will have to be carried back by his grandmother next time."

"I'll go see him." Saying that, Yan Zhen turned and went to the child's room.

The child was sitting in a daze at the desk with a pencil in his mouth, with an unusually serious expression.Yan Zhen approached and flicked his head with his fingers.With a bang, the pencil fell off, and the child covered his head and looked up and glared, but what he saw was Yan Zhen's smiling face.

"What are you doing?" This time the kid was annoyed.

Yan Zhen sat down beside him, and looked at the notebook in front of him.There are crooked Chinese characters one after another in the matts. When you read it carefully, it turns out to be a poem—Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".This is completely beyond the capabilities of first-grade children: "Why copy this?"

The child said lazily: "Every time I make a mistake, the chief will punish me for copying ancient poems."

So, it has reached the level of "Song of Everlasting Regret" now?How many mistakes does this kid usually make? !

Yan Zhen was speechless: "Then tell me, did you do anything wrong this time?"

"It's not just me, the little grandson of the Lin family is also at fault, but his father won't punish him for copying ancient poems!" the child said angrily.

Yan Zhen laughed and patted his head: "It's different, your father is doing it for your own good."

But the kid didn't appreciate it: "It's better to stand as a punishment! Why do those who are capable of martial arts still submit essays? Can copying ancient poems copy the little grandson of the Lin family?"

Teacher Yan was speechless, I dare to love the fascism in this kid's head!
"Besides, the chief also said that he has to go to grandma's house next month." This was what made him sad the most.

"why?"

"The chief said that grandma misses her mother, and seeing me is like seeing her mother." Gu Jiaming pouted the child, "Then grandma must not like mother!" The child was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

Yan Zhen looked at his lowered head, thoughtfully: "The chief is right, my mother is grandma's daughter, and grandma will miss her."

"But I don't miss my mother." The child looked at her seriously, "Is this wrong?"

"Why don't you want to?"

"Because I don't even remember what she looks like!" The child gave her a contemptuous look, and then sighed again, "But Dad said, it's wrong for me to do this, and Mom can't forget it either."

Sighing, he looks like a little grown-up.Yan Zhen smiled softly, and smoothed his frowning eyebrows for him, but her thoughts went far, far away. It was not until the child exclaimed that she came back to her senses and found that she had pulled off one of his eyebrows.

The child was teary-eyed, Yan Zhen rubbed it for him with a guilty conscience, then got up and went out.

Gu Huaiyue was still busy in the kitchen, looking at his back, Yan Zhen suddenly felt a little dazed.

He comes from a good family background, is handsome, and is the most promising officer at the first level of a certain group military academy in the B military region.How could she be with such an outstanding person?Yan Zhen suddenly felt like he had picked up a big bargain out of thin air.

This thought made her stand still in place, until Gu Huaiyue came out of the kitchen carrying the freshly stewed fish.Seeing her staring at him stupidly, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yan Zhen hurriedly recovered, shook his head and reached out to pick up the plate, but accidentally burned his fingers.

"Be careful! Are you okay?"

As Gu Huaiyue said, he stretched out his hand to grab her hand, but saw her avoid him and put her hand behind her.

"It's okay!" Yan Zhen said, and after he finished speaking, he realized that he had overreacted, and was embarrassed for a while.

But Gu Huaiyue was only stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air, looked at her, and smiled faintly: "It's fine if it's not burned."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen, leaving Yan Zhen alone, annoyed in place.

The day after returning from Tibet was Xiaonian. It was rare that both Gu Huaiyue and Gu Huaining came back this year. Even if it was Xiaonian's meal, it had to be close to a high standard.Mrs. Gu ordered, and everyone in the family got busy.

Yan Zhen came to Gu Garden in the afternoon. The weather is very warm today. Mrs. Gu is sitting in the sun making cotton clothes for the two babies of her youngest son. When she sees these two babies, her heart softens. She can only see them during the holidays, and she couldn't help complaining: "If you want me to say, we might as well move this house to City B, so that we two old people don't have to urge you to go home every year. I have to prepare a basketful of good words!"

Liang He stuck out his tongue and continued to press the hem of his cotton trousers for his mother-in-law.And Yan Zhen smiled slightly, sitting next to him and watching seriously.

"Speaking of which, this old man is the culprit. If it weren't for him, the two sons wouldn't have gone so far to serve as soldiers!"

Repeating the old tune again, the old man on the side snorted and continued to play chess with his youngest son, Gu Huaining.

In this huge family, inside and out, there are three pairs of old and young, but she is alone now.Gu Huaiyue went out early in the morning, saying that the soldiers sent by the division last time were still being raised in the municipal hospital, so he had to go and have a look.It seemed that he was a seriously ill patient, so Yan Zhen didn't stop him.Turning his eyes slightly, Yan Zhen got up, patted his clothes, and walked to the living room.

Liang He raised his head, watched Yan Zhen walk away, and then lowered his voice and said to Li Wan: "Mom, will Second Brother return to City B for the New Year this year?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Li Wan glared at him: "Keep down, are you afraid that your sister-in-law won't hear you?"

How dare this old lady plan to hide it!But the key question is can it be concealed?Liang He couldn't laugh or cry, so he just shut up and continued to press the old lady's trousers.

Gu Huaiyue didn't come back until dinner was about to start in the evening.

As soon as I entered the door, the old lady caught me and said, "I think you are busier on vacation than if you are not on vacation. If you are missing in your division, why don't you transfer?"

Gu Huaiyue didn't speak, but the old man was not happy at first, and said as he slowly went downstairs: "This soldier doesn't have any vacation, as soon as the order arrives, leave immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Li Wan gave him a cross-eyed look, and the two of them were riveted with each other.

Seeing this posture, Gu Huai was also happy to relax, walked around the two of them, and walked inside.

In the living room, Yan Zhen accompanied Jia Ming to draw.

Gu Huaiyue quietly walked around behind the child, watched intently for a while, and then turned his gaze to Yan Zhen.

The house uses floor heating, and the temperature is very high, so she only wore a thin sweater, and her cheeks were flushed.The slender hair was loosely tied behind the ears, but a few strands slipped down the ear pinnacles mischievously, sweeping back and forth with her movements.

Gu Huaiyue suddenly had a strange feeling, as if those few strands of hair were slipping from the tip of his heart, his thoughts moved slightly, and his hands uncontrollably stepped forward to stroke her hair behind her ears.Shocked, Yan Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at him.

Something went wrong, but Gu Huaiyue still tried to maintain his composure on the surface: "What's the matter, does it still hurt?"

She didn't sleep very well last night because of her lower abdominal distension and pain, and she tossed and turned for a long time on the bed.She only vaguely remembered that someone handed her a hot warm treasure, she took it, turned around and fell asleep.Waking up early in the morning, I stared blankly at the already cold warm treasure for a long time.

It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Yan Zhen's face also turned red: "It's much better."

"That's good." He coughed lightly, then lowered his head and continued to watch Gu Jiaming's drawing.And Yan Zhen couldn't help cursing in his heart that he had overreacted, he had already hugged him, did he still care about this?
During the holidays, there are always a few bottles of wine on the table of the Gu family.In addition, this is a New Year's Eve meal, so the old man asked everyone to have a drink no matter how weak they are.

Yan Zhen is not good at drinking, although he only took a few sips, he became drunk not long after the meal.The spirit of alcohol came up, and he leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, motionless, and heard the conversation between the old man and Gu Huaiyue.

"I just met your uncle a few days ago. I heard from your uncle that there will be an exercise after the Chinese New Year. This is the first shot of the new year. I don't know which division your army will transfer to."

"The order hasn't come down yet. No matter how much news there is, it's just rumors. But it doesn't matter if it's a drill or not. What needs to be practiced is still practiced." This was Gu Huaiyue's voice.

"You just have to be sure." Mr. Gu nodded, looked at him and asked, "Then when are you planning to go back this time?"

One sentence made him fall silent, obviously he didn't want to talk about leaving just yet.And Yan Zhen also understood that the more he hesitated, the more he wanted to go back sooner.She couldn't help but opened her eyes, just when he turned his head and looked at each other, she didn't avoid it.

Gu Huaiyue, on the other hand, forced himself to look away: "The sooner the better."

Teacher Liu Xiangdong has been on New Year's Eve shift for two consecutive years, and it's his turn this year.Although, even if he wasn't on duty, he hadn't celebrated the New Year in City C for several years.He refrained from saying some things, but knowing his son is like his father, the old man probably knows what he is thinking.

The old man was silent for a moment, then looked at Yan Zhen: "What are you going to do?"

Yan Zhen looked at the old man, then at Gu Huaiyue.Whether it's his collar flower or the stars on his epaulets, they are all dazzling.She didn't seem to have recovered, and her eyes were still a little confused.Gu Huaiyue also knew that he couldn't force her, not to mention that he didn't have the qualifications to ask her, after all, she had many concerns of her own.

Yan Zhen blinked, as if suddenly came to his senses, and asked: "If we want to go there, is it convenient?"

The two people in front of them were silent for a moment, Gu Huaiyue almost blurted out: "Of course."

Yan Zhen didn't expect his reaction to be so quick, as if he was waiting for her words, his face immediately blushed.

Just when the two were embarrassed, the old man suddenly laughed out loud: "Okay, then let Huai Yue take you to City B to celebrate the New Year."

"it is good."

Yan Zhen smiled, but in Gu Huaiyue's eyes, that smile was beyond his eyes.Thinking of this, he slowly tightened his hands on his knees.

After chatting for a while, the old man got drunk and went upstairs to rest.After listening to the old lady's nagging, Gu Huaiyue took Yan Zhen and Jia Ming home together.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the snow-covered city of C was silent. Yan Zhen was sitting in the back seat, and the child was sleeping soundly on her lap.Yan Zhen bowed his head, stroking his short short hair with his fingers, and unconsciously curved a smile on his mouth.

Through the rearview mirror, Gu Huaiyue couldn't really see her smile, only knew it was very shallow: "Yan Zhen."

"Ok?"

"I think about going to City B to celebrate the New Year..."

"It's okay." Before he could say anything more, Yan Zhen cut off the conversation.She looked at him in the perspective mirror, and smiled gently, "I don't want a certain kid to ask me to take him to find Dad on New Year's Eve. It will be troublesome."

Her pretending to be relaxed made Gu Huaiyue silent for a moment, and when the car was about to drive to the gate of the community, he turned his head, took a look at Yan Zhen, and said, "Yan Zhen, what I said before getting married still counts." .”

Yan Zhen was a little surprised, not because of anything else, but because the way he looked at him at the moment was no longer as calm as before, and even apologetic. Although it only flashed for a second, Yan Zhen suddenly felt that his heart was shaking. Picked up: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing." Gu Huaiyue said, the hands holding the steering wheel unconsciously tightened, "I'm just afraid that you will be wronged."

Yan Zhen was dumb, for a long time, she smiled, the smile was a little forced and a little pale: "Then you have to try to be nice to me."

"I will." After a moment of silence, Gu Huaiyue replied in a low voice.
