long-term marriage

Chapter 3

It was already evening when the two returned to the Gu family's mansion in the suburbs, the street lights were already on, and the magnolia in the small garden exuded a faint fragrance.

Under the eaves of the two-story European-style building, there are still red lanterns that Qiao Zhi bought during the Chinese New Year. The light from inside the house shines on the green leafy potted plants under the windows, adding a sense of homely warmth.

Qiao Zhi stood outside Gu's house and waited for Gu Yechen to park his car and come over. The two of them walked in together, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard Gu's father's loud voice, "That brat hasn't been home for four years, and you are still making trouble for him That, is really a loving mother who loses her son."

"Can you stop wandering around the kitchen, what does it matter to you if I cook for my son?" Mother Gu pushed him away impatiently.

"Why is it nothing to do with me? You can give birth to your own feelings without me..." Father Gu was forced to go out while yelling. When he came out of the kitchen, he saw the two people standing at the door of the kitchen, and fell silent.

Gu's mother also saw the two of them, and her face turned red, she pushed Gu's father coquettishly, and came forward with a smile, "You two are back, hurry up, sit down first, and then eat .”

Qiao Zhi put down the bag in her hand, "Mom, I'll help you." Gu Yechen turned around and walked towards the sofa.

Gu's father was unhappy when he saw it, "Why, you still plan to be the young master and wait for others to serve you?"

Gu Yechen didn't look back, "I eat my mother's food, what does it have to do with you?"

Father Gu jumped, "You, you, you brat..." He was about to walk out to the sofa with big strides, as if he wanted to compete with Gu Yechen.

Mother Gu got impatient, she stretched out her hand and twisted his ear and pulled it into the kitchen, "Can you calm down a little bit, can you calm down a little bit?"

Qiao Zhi smiled. Every time she came home, she was always very happy to see the couple playing tricks.

After all the dishes were served, Father Gu sat down on the main seat, and Mother Gu also sat down on the seat next to him. Gu Yechen pulled away Father Gu's lower seat and was about to sit down, Father Gu spoke again, "This is Xiao Zhi's place, you sit next to her."

Qiao Zhi was embarrassed for a while, and quickly waved her hands, "It's okay, you can just sit down, I'll sit next to mother." As she said that, she was about to go around the dining table and walk to Gu's mother.

Gu Yechen clasped her slender shoulders lightly, and then released the chair in front of the table for her, "Sit down."

Qiao Zhi was a little embarrassed, there were three of them, this position should have been Gu Yechen's place.

Gu's mother glanced at the two people standing, waved her hands and smiled, "Xiaozhi, sit down, it's the same wherever you sit, there are not so many rules." She also glared at Gu's father.

Qiao Zhi said thank you softly to Gu Yechen, and then sat down.

Gu Yechen also pulled away the chair next to her and sat down, Father Gu snorted unwillingly.

Wang Ma poured red wine for everyone, and Gu Mu raised the wine glass in her hand, "Let's raise our glasses, firstly, to welcome Xiaochen's return home, and secondly, to celebrate our family reunion, let's have a drink."

Qiao Zhi and Gu Yechen held up their wine glasses, and Gu's father was forced to raise his wine glass under Gu's mother's eyes about to kill someone, took a symbolic sip, and then put it down.

Gu's mother was too lazy to know him as well, she looked at Qiao Zhi and Gu Yechen and smiled, "Come on, Xiao Zhi, mom made your favorite sweet and sour pork, and you, Xiao Chen, mom also made your favorite tomato sauce Fish rolls, crucian carp with jelly, and diced chicken with spicy peppers, I haven't eaten the dishes made by my mother in more than four years, hurry up, eat more..." As he said, he kept adding vegetables to Gu Yechen's bowl.

Gu Yechen smiled at Gu's mother, "Thank you, Mom."

"Hmph, why are you so courteous? If people want to eat the food you cook, why don't they go home for four years? You're so hot to stick to their cold ass, what a shame..." Father Gu couldn't help but sneer again.

Gu's mother has completely ignored Gu's father, and kept picking up food for Qiao Zhi and Gu Yechen, "Eat more, Xiaozhi, and you should eat more too. Working so hard, you can't eat well."

"Mom, you can eat too." Gu Yechen took a piece of fish for Gu's mother and put it in a bowl.

Seeing this movement, Gu's father threw the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and the whole table was startled by his movement.

Gu's father looked at Qiao Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, let me tell you, Dad regrets marrying you to this white-eyed wolf. It's really a shame that such a good girl like me married him."

Qiao Zhi choked on a mouthful of rice, and swallowed it awkwardly after a long while, her eyes drooping as she picked up the rice, once Father Gu didn't play cards according to common sense, ordinary people would not be able to talk.

Gu's mother itched her teeth with hatred, and kicked under the table, Gu's father almost jumped up with a 'wow', and glared at Gu's mother, the two of them looked at each other like fighting cocks.

Gu Yechen stood up and slowly picked up a piece of chicken, leaned slightly and put it in Gu's father's bowl, and said softly, "To each other."

Qiao Zhi heard that she was choked by the rice, covered her small mouth and coughed non-stop, Gu Yechen handed over the water from the side, Qiao Zhi took a few sips, calmed down, and whispered, "Thank you."

Father Gu didn't react for a while, and then glared at him angrily, "Who do you call a pig?"

Gu Yechen looked at him innocently, "Did I say anything? I seem to have only said four words in total."

"You..." Father Gu slapped the table and started to jump again.

Gu's mother saw the timing and stuffed a steamed bun into it, "If you dare to talk again, sleep on the sofa for me tonight."

Gu's father didn't dare to speak anymore, but Gu's mother always kept her word. Without Gu's father's unreasonable troubles, the meal was finally finished quietly.

For the first time, Qiao Zhi felt that eating a meal had a thrilling feeling. Chairman Gu, who was usually calm outside, Qiao Zhi always thought that he would be naive only in front of Gu's mother. She never thought that there was another person in this world who could People who make him more childish.

However, when Gu Yechen came back, Gu's father must be very happy. In the past, she often saw Gu's father secretly looking at Gu Yechen's childhood photos, but whenever she talked about Gu Yechen, she always insisted that there was no him at all. This son, she knew, he was worried about him.

After eating this meal for more than an hour, it was past eight o'clock after the meal. After watching TV with Gu's mother for a while, Qiao Zhi got up and said goodbye, "Mom, it's almost time, I'm going back."

"Go back? Where do you go? This is your home. Where do you want to go?"

Mother Gu's series of words made Qiao Zhi helpless, "Mom, I have to go to work tomorrow. It's too far from here to the company, and it's not easy to take a taxi. I'd better go back first."

"No, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must sleep at home tonight. Not only today, but you will move back in the future, and let him move with you tomorrow." Father Gu rarely looked serious.

"dad……"

Father Gu shook his head and continued to look at the document in his hand, "This matter is not for discussion."

It was rare for Gu's father to be so strong, Gu's mother nodded in satisfaction, and pushed Qiao Zhi to the second floor, "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."

Pushing Qiao Zhi to the stairs, Gu's mother turned around and grabbed Gu Yechen who was still sitting on the sofa, "Go, you go to sleep too, what are you still sitting here for?"

Qiao Zhi sat on the edge of the bed cautiously. Whenever she returned to Gu's house, she would live in this bedroom. She didn't think there was anything wrong in the past, but now she felt strange because of the man standing on the small balcony smoking a cigarette. .

Qiao Zhi was silent for a while, then got up and walked out, the people on the balcony heard the noise, turned to look at her, "It's useless, they must be guarding downstairs."

Qiao Zhi bit her lower lip angrily when she heard the words.

Footsteps came from behind, Qiao Zhi's body tensed slightly, Gu Yechen turned from her side, walked to the closet and stood still, opened the closet door, "Do you know where my clothes are? I came back in a hurry, I haven't had time to buy it yet, I was looking for pajamas last night, but I couldn't find them."

Qiao Zhi hurriedly walked up to him, squatted down, found a gray pajamas from the bottom shelf and handed it to him, "I went to buy this for you with my mother a while ago, and I washed it for you. of."

Gu Yechen nodded, "Thank you." Glancing at her, "Do you wash first, or should I wash first?"
