Chapter 74 Contradictions
Guo Zisu will take part in face-to-face literature classes this weekend, and the notice requires students to register at 8:[-] am.

The county here is far away from the provincial capital, so she can only rush to the provincial capital the night before.

After work on Friday, he greeted minced meat for dinner, told him to read books and do homework at home, and sleep by himself at night.

While packing her luggage, she kept repeating what she told him, and her heart was full of worry, for fear that if she was not at home these two days, the minced meat would be cold and hungry.

Min Rou listened to the sermon quietly at first, and seeing her repeating it many times, he said, "Mr. Guo, don't worry, I used to live in that shed by myself, and I ate and slept by myself, isn't it fine?"

After hearing this, Guo Zisu stretched out her arms to hug him, and said sadly: "You were so miserable before, I can't even think about it, but now I don't want you to suffer anymore."

Minrou comforted her sensiblely and said: "I will be fine, I have learned all the housework you taught me these two days."

Guo Zisu just smiled, "Well, Minced Meat, you need to learn more in the future, so that you can live well without Teacher Guo around."

She picked up her travel bag and said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest, so you can play around the campus, don't run far, try to stay at home to read and draw."

Guo Zisu pointed to the many literature books on the bedside shelf and said, "First, see if there are any books you like. When I come back, I will take you to buy some books you like."

Minced Meat followed her to the door, stopped sensible, and said, "Mr. Guo, I won't go out, please be better."

Guo Zisu bent down and kissed his cheek, and said, "Minced Meat, you are so good, I will bring you something to eat when I come back."

Although this is a poor province known throughout the country, its provincial capital has an extremely wealthy name, Yucheng.Yucheng is not big, maybe about the size of a city-level city in some developed provinces. The roads in the city are full of potholes, and the houses on the streets are also unevenly built and disorderly.From time to time, on both sides of the street, some people who set up stalls are selling various commodities, and the sound of selling is one after another, as if the business here is mainly street vendors.

The students in the face-to-face class come from all over the province. Except for the students in the provincial capital, the organizer arranged accommodation for the students in the following cities and counties at Yucheng University. The building number, room number, etc. where you live.But the meals are provided by the students themselves.

Guo Zisu was assigned to a postgraduate dormitory building far away from the class place.She took the arrangement form, arrived at the dormitory, and after completing the formalities, she followed the dormitory manager to her room.The dormitory administrator told her that this room will be reserved for them until the end of face-to-face classes.However, when returning to your unit after class every Sunday, you must remember to lock the doors and windows, and take or store all your valuables.

Guo Zisu thanked her, went into the room, put down the things, and looked carefully.Not bad, there is a big bed, a dressing table, a sofa coffee table, a wardrobe, etc., and a separate bathroom.

The location of the face-to-face class is in a teaching building of Yucheng University, and the lectures are mainly carried out by professors from the Chinese Department of Yucheng University. There are also well-known writers today to talk about creative practice.One hundred students were divided into two classes, and a special person served as the class teacher.

The two days of class affairs passed quickly, and the teachers left a lot of homework and the list of required books.The bookstore in the county where Guo Zisu lives is not big. After class, she hurriedly followed some students from the county below to the big bookstore in the provincial capital. Get on the last bus bound for the county seat.

It was late at night when I arrived at the school. I entered the gate, turned around the teaching building, and saw the warm light from the window of my residence from a distance. I thought, did you forget to turn off the light when you slept with minced meat?Or is he home alone and afraid of the dark?
Walking up the stairs slowly, although she took her steps lightly, her footsteps sounded from the silent floor.Soon, she heard a door creak, and a slight footstep came, and she was going down the stairs quickly.

It was so late, and no one was asleep.

"Teacher Guo." He called softly, and it turned out that minced meat had arrived.

Guo Zisu raised his head and smiled joyfully, "Minced meat, you haven't slept yet."

"I'm waiting for you to come back." As he said that, he quickened his pace, ran to her side, and stretched out his small hand to help her get things.

Guo Zisu waved his hand, "It's full of books, which are very heavy, so I can just carry them."

Min Rou walked in front and asked her, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. I'll go buy books after class, and I'll come back by car after I finish my class."

As soon as minced meat heard it, he immediately ran forward, "I'll heat you up."

Guo Zisu wanted to stop him, but he ran ahead and entered the house early.

After entering the house, she found that the house was kept very clean, and minced meat was busy in the kitchen.Not only was she a little moved, it was so nice to have this child by her side, it was so warm to have someone waiting for her and caring about her when she came back so late.

Walking into the kitchen, "Minced meat, what have you been eating these two days?"

"I finished eating all the green vegetables you bought at home, and left some dried fragrant and minced meat for you." He said and pointed to the rice cooker on the stove, "It's heating up inside, it will be ready soon."

Guo Zisu patted his head, "Minced meat, thank you. I'll do it myself. Do you want some more?"

"I'm not hungry yet, and I don't have much food. You can eat."

Guo Zisu said while serving the meal, "Then go to bed quickly, there is class tomorrow, children need to sleep more to grow taller."

Min Rou tilted his head and said, "When I grow taller, I can help you carry those heavy books."

Guo Zisu chuckled, "By the way, you are a boy, and you can do many great things when you grow up. Go to sleep."

Minced meat quickly ran to the bed and fell asleep.

Guo Zisu burst out with a strong passion for writing. In her face-to-face class, several students were editors and reporters from the central and provincial media. When she communicated with them after school in the provincial capital, she learned a lot about the skills of submitting articles to the media. When she returned to school, she worked harder to write manuscripts. Whether it was official affairs or between teachers and students, she tried her best to find out the news points and put them together into a manuscript, which made her read almost every day. Various news and short essays appeared in the county and city media, and occasionally the name appeared in the provincial newspapers.Although few people know her in this small county, more and more people know her name every day.

In addition to going to Yucheng for classes on weekends, in his spare time, he also reads the books assigned by the teacher of the face-to-face class, takes care of the life of minced meat, tutors him in his studies, and sometimes picks him up in the studio.

As a result, she had to stop all social activities, and had little time to meet and party with Reporter Wang and his group. Even if they had a meal together occasionally, they came and went in a hurry.

When Reporter Wang came to the school to look for her, there was always a child in her house, which also made Reporter Wang feel very uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Reporter Wang decided to have a good talk with Guo Zisu.

He invited Guo Zisu to the tea restaurant where they had lunch together for the first time.

It was still in that box, with the same bright bouquet of flowers, but reporter Wang today was no longer as excited as he was that day. At this moment, he was sitting at the table with a heavy heart, anxiously waiting for Guo Zisu to come.He wasn't even sure if she would come as promised, if there was anything wrong with the child.

Thinking of this, he scratched his hair with a headache. How could this girl provoke such a mess?He also began to complain that he shouldn't have let her go to the school's Propaganda Department, and didn't know Lin Xuan. Now, as she published more and more articles in the newspapers, and went to the provincial capital once a week, such a young and beautiful talented woman, It's not that there are a lot of men staring at her, maybe within half a year, she will be someone else's dish.

Reporter Wang said to himself that the relationship between himself and her can no longer be delayed, and he must speak clearly to her today.

Guo Zisu walked in with a pure smile on his face, saw the flowers on the table and stretched out his head with a smile, smelled them, and said, "It smells so good!"

Reporter Wang called the waiter to start serving warm milk and vegetables.Said: "Zisu, eat more, you have lost a lot of weight during this time."

Yeah?Guo Zisu looked at her arm and said with a smile, "It seems to be a little smaller. But, it happens that you don't need to spend money to lose weight."

Reporter Wang said casually: "What weight do you want to lose, I like your chubby look better."

It was the first time for Guo Zisu to hear him say the word "like" so bluntly. She was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down and said, "I don't want to cut it either. It's just that there are too many things, and the classes every weekend are just cramming. The teacher spoke for several hours at a stretch, and I just listened desperately and wrote it down. When I got home, I had to spend a lot of time slowly digesting those notes and related books. Alas, when I sort it out, next week’s Class is here again."

Reporter Wang said indifferently: "If you don't need to take care of that child, it's more than enough to just go to work and write manuscripts, and review the lectures in the next class when you get off work."

Guo Zisu nodded with a smile, blinked her big flexible eyes, and said bluntly: "You are right. If this child is not by my side, I will definitely have a lot more time to play. But," she rolled her eyes Youshen's big eyes said: "He also brings me a lot of happiness and warmth. Now I come home from get off work every day. If he comes home first, he will run to welcome me when he hears my footsteps. I come from the province on weekends. No matter how late it is, he is still waiting for me with the light on when he comes back from studying, as long as he hears my footsteps on the stairs, he will run down to meet me."

Reporter Wang saw her talking intoxicatedly, and interrupted impatiently: "Zisu, when do you plan to send him away?"

Guo Zisu drank the soup and said slowly: "His father will pick him up and he will leave. I don't know when."

Reporter Wang leaned against the table, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and stared at her for a moment, "You don't ask, you should urge his father."

Guo Zisu said helplessly: "I don't dare to urge him. If I urge him, he will definitely come and pick up the child, and then send him to someone else's home."

Reporter Wang said to her irritably: "That's his business. What happens to his son is his business. It has nothing to do with you."

"Why has nothing to do with me?" Guo Zisu stared at Reporter Wang with wide eyes. "This child's tragic experience is in front of me. How can I remain indifferent? If I can change his living conditions with a little effort, why don't I come out?" This strength?"

Reporter Wang saw her blushing excitedly arguing with him, snorted and said, "Have you ever thought that he has seriously affected your life?"

Guo Zisu looked at him puzzled.

He coughed and said, "What if his father doesn't care about it, what will you do? Do you want to fall in love and get married? Who would fall in love and get married to a woman with a little boy?"

Guo Zisu was silent for a while, then said softly, "Then what should I do?"

"Ask his father to pick him up. If he doesn't pick him up, send him to the Civil Affairs Bureau. This is something the government should handle." Reporter Wang said generously.

Guo Zisu was startled, with tears rolling in his eyes, choked up and said, "Let me think about it."

Reporter Wang reached out and pressed the back of her hand, and said in a mournful tone, "Zisu, you have long understood my feelings for you, right?"

Guo Zisu didn't know how to answer, but still nodded involuntarily.

Reporter Wang secretly rejoiced, and said seriously: "I tell you clearly, I cannot accept my girlfriend taking care of other people's children. If you like raising children so much, I will go back and discuss with my parents and get married and have children immediately."

Guo Zisu opened his mouth wide when he heard what he said, unable to answer for a while.

She ate with her head depressed. No matter what Reporter Wang said, she didn't answer.When the two walked out of the tea restaurant and came to Reporter Wang's car, she finally said, "Give me some time, I'll think about how to deal with this matter."

Reporter Wang stared into her eyes, which were showing a helpless and melancholy expression. He sighed and said, "Okay, don't be indecisive. You must deal with this matter quickly."
