Forced marriage, gossip queen

Chapter 221

"Hurry up!" Qian Yuan pointed at the apple tree excitedly. She was actually a bit small in the clothes of those female college students. When she raised her hand, she revealed a small white waist. Her hair was tied up casually and was blown in the breeze.

Gu Zhiyun couldn't help showing a faint smile, walked over, pinched her little white waist, and asked with a smile: "Which one do you want?"

Qian Yuan blushed and hurriedly avoided him a little, then said: "I want a big and red one!"

A little smile appeared in Gu Zhiyun's eyes, he stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and before Qian Yuan got angry, he quickly picked off an apple and handed it to her.

Qian Yuan laughed immediately, wiped the apple on his clothes, took a bite, and immediately showed a surprised expression: "It's really sweet! It's delicious!" Said and handed the apple to Gu Zhiyun's mouth , "Try it, try it, it's delicious!"

Gu Zhiyun glanced at her, bent slightly and took a bite. The apple was sweet and juicy, and it was indeed delicious. He also picked one himself. The two of them sat under the tree and ate an apple, probably because they were thirsty, so they actually ate an apple I feel satisfied.

After eating an apple and then doing the rest of the work, it was getting late, Gu Zhiyun carried two baskets of fruits and vegetables on his back, then squatted down by himself, motioning for her to lie on his back.

"Don't you feel heavy?" Qian Yuan hugged his neck to stabilize his body.

"Of course it's heavy, especially you!" Gu Zhiyun said.

Qian Yuan kicked him: "I'm not heavy. Sister Shu said that I don't look like a mother of a three-year-old, but like a college student."

"Jing Shu often speaks nonsense with his eyes open." Gu Zhiyun said lightly.

Qian Yuan kicked him again angrily.

"Kick me again and I'll just throw you down!"

Qian Yuan was sure that he would not, so she kicked him very arrogantly: "Hmph!"

"Go to sleep on the floor tonight." Gu Zhiyun said coldly.

Qian Yuan protested: "I want to sleep in bed!"

"I don't want to sleep with you!"

"I don't want to sleep with you either, so you sleep on the floor!"

So this section of the road ended in arguing about who would sleep on the bed and who would sleep on the floor.

When he arrived at the little white house, he saw the two little tigers squatting at the door again. Qianyuan didn't have any affection for such cruel animals by definition, and even felt that they were a little scary. He hugged Gu Zhiyun's neck tightly and swallowed Said: "Although I know they won't bite people, I still feel really scared..."

"Why didn't I know how timid you are?" Gu Zhiyun sneered, and carried her around the two cubs, Qian Yuan suddenly asked: "Where's their mother?"

"Why, you still want to meet their mother?"

"Of course not, I'm just asking casually."

The old man came out when he heard their voices, and asked with a smile, "Are the apples delicious?"

Qian Yuan got off Gu Zhiyun's back, put the bamboo basket on the ground, ran over with a smile and said, "It's delicious, so sweet, grandpa, do you want to eat it?"

"No, I made dinner, and it's all vegetarian dishes. I don't know if you can get used to eating vegetarian meals for three meals." The old man led them into the house, "Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"it is good."

Gu Zhiyun and Qian Yuan washed their hands, then went to help grandpa put the dishes on the table, Qian Yuan was so hungry that he started eating as soon as he sat down.

The old man doesn't like meat. He eats vegetarian meals three times a day. When the volunteers come to visit him, they will bring him meat. He puts it in the refrigerator and eats it occasionally.

She is an artist, and she often skips meals and drinks only water in order to maintain her figure.

The grandfather also took out a bottle of Erguotou from Wuli and gave it to Gu Zhiyun: "I don't remember who gave it to me. I don't drink well when I'm old. Let me try it."

Gu Zhiyun glanced at the old man, thought for a while before taking it, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man gave her a wine glass, looked back at Qian Yuan eating happily, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, grandpa's craftsmanship is much better than mine!" Qianyuan gave a thumbs up and praised.

The old man laughed immediately, "If you like to eat, eat more, your girlfriend is so cute, I am very happy to be with her at ordinary times." He said that with the face while looking at Gu Zhiyun.

Gu Zhiyun took a sip of the wine, only felt that the taste was very pure, obviously it was a good wine that had aged well.

"Grandpa, I'm not his girlfriend." Qianyuan argued vaguely.

Gu Zhiyun didn't speak but just smiled, the old man understood immediately, and said to Qian Yuan with a smile: "I know the little girl is embarrassed, please do it, grandpa won't say anything, don't say anything."

"Grandpa is really not!" Qian Yuan swallowed the food and defended seriously.

The old man smiled, although he said that he believed that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, but Qian Yuan felt that the smile was too meaningful, and what was even more annoying was that Gu Zhiyun didn't defend himself at all, and said, "Grandpa, you really see it." With a clear look, he couldn't help but glared at Gu Zhiyun.

"It's better to be noisy and emotional. When I see you now, I think of when you were young, and even feel that you are dozens of years younger in an instant." The grandfather said with some emotion.

"Grandpa, why don't you get married?" Qian Yuan wanted to ask this question all day today. Although she felt it was impolite, she still couldn't help asking.

Gu Zhiyun frowned and gave her a dissatisfied look, obviously blaming her for asking such a question so abruptly.

But the old man who was involved was very calm, and said with a smile: "The most suitable person is gone, so I don't want to find someone else to make do with, so I have been alone."

"The most suitable person is gone?" Qian Yuan blinked curiously, and asked, "Did Grandpa ever have someone he liked?"

The old man didn't feel embarrassed, but started talking with them.

The grandfather’s surname is Liu, and he had a childhood sweetheart who had a good relationship with him before he participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam. The poor boy felt that his daughter would not have a good life with him, so he rejected his marriage proposal. The girl was also stubborn and insisted on marrying Mr. Liu, and even eloped with Mr. Liu.

In the 60s of the last century, although New China had been liberated, the thinking was still very feudal. In the eyes of the people of that era, elopement was not a pursuit of love but a shameless thing. Mr. Liu didn’t quite want the girl to follow him and be poked in the spine. He was thinking hard and trying to think of a way to do something big. It happened to be the conscription time to resist the U.S. and aid Vietnam, and he felt that if he could achieve results on the battlefield, it would be justifiable to marry a girl when he came back.

So he made an agreement with the girl and the girl's parents that when he came back to marry the girl after he had done a good job, the girl was willing to wait, and the girl's parents agreed to his request. In this way, Mr. Liu followed the big army to North Vietnam, and carried on for eight years. of the Vietnam War.

Waiting for him to return after success, when he wanted to marry the girl in a bright and upright manner, but was told that the girl jumped into the well and died.

It turned out that the girl's parents violated the agreement and wanted to marry the girl to a local rich man. The girl refused to obey, so she jumped into the well and committed suicide. She used her life to defend her sincere feelings with Mr. Liu. In fact, such stories were not uncommon at that time. Many lovers are separated from each other because of involuntary control, and Mr. Liu is just one of the more tragic couples.

His lover was dead and his body was disabled, so he simply left the village and lived in this rarely populated reserve.

After listening to the whole story, both Qian Yuan and Gu Zhiyun were touched. Qian Yuan held Mr. Liu's hand and said with a choked voice, "Grandpa, Grandma must love you very much."

Mr. Liu smiled and nodded: "Yes, she loves me very much, what can she do for me, so what if I have been alone for her for 50 years?"

"Grandpa..." Qianyuan looked like he was about to cry, and Mr. Liu quickly comforted him and said, "Good boy, I don't feel lonely, because I feel that she is always by my side, and I live every day. It's easy, so don't feel sad for me."

"Grandpa, I will come to see you often in the future." Qian Yuan squatted next to Old Liu's legs, buried her face in the hollow of his legs and said.

Mr. Liu smiled: "Look, with you children who often come to accompany me, how can I still be lonely?"

Qian Yuan remained silent.

Mr. Liu patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said with some emotion: "I used to quarrel with her, and when we quarreled, we almost punched each other with fists, but those were just playing around. When we were really serious, we couldn’t do without each other. On the day I set off, she ran [-] kilometers to see me off...so when I see you like this now, I can’t help but think of me and her at that time.”

"That's not the case with him. We don't have such a good relationship with grandpa, you and grandma." Qian Yuan pouted, "We all wish that the other party would die immediately."

Gu Zhiyun reached out to grab Qian Yuan's ear, frowned and said, "Can't you talk through your brain?"

"You speak without going through your brain!"

Mr. Liu smoothed things over with a smile, and said to Qian Yuan: "If you really want you to die, why would you go up and down behind your back, and even apply medicine for you, for fear of leaving scars on your face?"

Gu Zhiyun snorted coldly: "I don't know good people."

Qianyuan puffed her cheeks, and coquettishly said to Mr. Liu: "Grandpa, why don't you help him and not me!"

"Grandpa is seeking truth from facts. Think about it, if you really want you to die, wouldn't it be fine to just find a knife and stab you to death? Why do you still bicker with you every day? In fact, this is just another expression of liking. "Mr. Liu said with a smile, "It's like a kindergarten child who obviously has a crush on another kid, but deliberately teases and bullies him. Isn't this just to cover up his liking?"

Qian Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Zhiyun, with some anticipation in her heart.

But Gu Zhiyun didn't seem to feel anything, he was drinking and eating food quietly, seeing Qian Yuan looking at him, and asked curiously: "Do you want to drink too?"

Qian Yuan shook her head, squatting beside Mr. Liu thoughtfully.

"Treasure the people in front of you." Mr. Liu probably recalled too many past events, stood up absent-mindedly, and walked back to the room slowly.

Qian Yuan chewed that sentence silently in his heart.

——The person I like is gone, so I don’t want to make do with it, so I’m just alone.
