Chapter 234 Xu Xiwen Comes
After finishing their meal in fear, they went their separate ways.
On the way home, seeing Shen Zhiqiang unbuttoning his collar and taking a deep breath while walking, Lu Xue joked, "Brother Shen, you didn't seem this nervous when you confessed to me. I told you Mingyue is amazing, now you believe it!"
"How dare I not believe it? Look at my back, is it soaked with sweat? My goodness, she is stricter than me when interrogating prisoners. The key is that I have a focus when interrogating, but Comrade Gu is not like that. You don't know where she will ask sudden questions next. Don't laugh at me, I have been trembling with fear this whole afternoon, afraid that she would suddenly say something and I would not be able to respond. I am sure she is secretly evaluating me. The way she is looking at me makes it seem like I will be eliminated if I say something wrong."
Thinking of what Mingyue had said to her in private before they parted, "I'll give him 80 points for now, barely above passing and entering good, but just a little short of excellent. We'll see how he handles family relationships before getting married before we make a final judgment."
Thinking of this, Lu Xue couldn't help laughing, and a feeling of happiness arose spontaneously.
There had never been a moment when she felt so directly that someone was protecting her, and an expression of joy unconsciously appeared on her face.
Shen Zhiqiang felt her rare expression of emotion and was a little surprised. But when he thought of her life experience, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
He stood still, put his hands on the other's shoulders and said solemnly, "Comrade Lu Xue, I swear on my life that I will love you and protect you for the rest of my life. Please believe me!"
"it is good!"
When Gu Mingyue returned home, she first wrote a letter to Xu Xiwen, telling her that she would personally arrange Lu Xue's wedding and hoped that she would not worry too much.
The friendship between three people is likely to lose balance, and she doesn't want to create a rift because of it, so it's better to make it clear in advance.
After receiving the letter, Xu Xiwen did feel a little jealous, but fortunately she was a broad-minded person and knew Lu Xue's situation well, so she quickly got over it. She also wrote back to emphasize that she would come to help two days in advance and would definitely leave some work for her then.
Gu Mingyue just listened to it. She had already learned from her correspondence with Sun Manni that Xu Xiwen was receiving a lot of attention in the workplace because of her father.
She never forgets to work even when she is resting. I guess she wants to prove to others that she is not relying on connections. She works harder than when she was applying for college.
Gu Mingyue herself didn't count on her, after all, the other person's job was different from her being the Party Secretary in the village. The other person was working hard to pursue a career, while she was just doing soy sauce. In the words of her uncle, she was fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.
Therefore, whoever has the time should do it.
I have agreed with Lu Xue that we will pick her up from Gujia Village on the wedding day, so all preparations must follow the procedures of her parents' home.
She didn't understand much about these things, so she went to ask Liu Caixia. Lu Xue had been to the village during her vacation before and knew everyone in the family.
When she heard about the upcoming wedding, the sister-in-law was extremely excited and took full charge of everything, without Gu Mingyue having to intervene at all. Of course, it is possible that she disliked Gu Mingyue for being unreliable.
Seeing this, Gu Mingyue felt so relieved, she just wanted to be free from worries. However, she was not really idle, but went to every household in the village to ask for a lot of cloth, preparing to make a "Hundred Blessings Quilt".
They have their own rules for this. Generally, families who love their daughters will agree before the marriage that the daughter's family and the husband's family will prepare this quilt together, which symbolizes good fortune, longevity, health and safety.
Not sure if there is such a thing in Beijing, Gu Mingyue simply made two king-size beds. She was absolutely blessed and no one could compare to her.
Fortunately, I have a sewing machine, otherwise I really don’t know how long it would take me to finish it…
Xu Xiwen didn't take a long vacation after all, only two days, and she and her husband came the day before the wedding. Gu Mingyue drove a tractor to Qingshan Town to pick her up.
As soon as I got off the car, I heard her mumbling non-stop, and then I looked at Shao Wenzhe, "Don't you find her annoying?"
The latter tried to hold back her laughter and replied, "It's okay. Wenwen has been cooped up at work for too long and it's rare for her to come out for some fresh air."
"Gu Mingyue, you don't care about me at all now, and you told me not to be jealous. Let me tell you, I am very dissatisfied, very unhappy, and very..."
"Okay, okay, I know you're very hungry, so hungry that I can hear your stomach growling. I went up the mountain early in the morning to pick mushrooms and catch pheasants, dragon meat from the sky and donkey meat from the ground, and the flying dragon soup that I personally stewed for you to taste. Are you satisfied?"
Xu Xiwen nodded seriously, "Well... that's about right. What are you waiting for? Lead the way."
It was my first time in the village, and everything was new and interesting.
"I was wondering why you don't want to leave the village. You seem to be living such a comfortable life. Well, if I didn't have to go to work, I would really like to stay longer." Xu Xiwen was very envious.
Gu Mingyue didn't believe her and chuckled twice, "You're just talking, two days will definitely be enough."
"Impossible. There are mountains, water and fun things to do. How can I stay here long enough?" After Xu Xiwen started working, she finally understood what her father meant by "you have no choice". Even with her family background, she did not dare to do whatever she wanted. Instead, she had to set an example for others.
In fact, she also knew that some things can only be thought about, so she stopped worrying and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you are in a blessed place. You don't know that when I received the invitation, I jumped up at work and got a good scolding from my dad for it. By the way, have you met Xiaoxue's fiancé?"
"We had a meal." Gu Mingyue simply told her what happened during the meal, including the fragments of the dispute during the meal.
Xu Xiwen shouted that it was a pity, "Oh, I haven't seen you scolding people for a long time, I miss you so much, haha, that person must be scared."
Gu Mingyue said proudly, "The veteran is worth two. However, by some strange coincidence, he did a good thing. The man is doing well now. Later, I asked someone to go to his house. He was also a foolish filial son. A bunch of relatives from his hometown came to ask for money from time to time. Fortunately, his wife is relatively strong. She is very tight on money, but she can't take care of food, clothing and daily necessities. The children at home don't have enough to eat or warm clothes, and the couple often quarrel. This time, perhaps he saw the miserable situation of a fellow villager who was kicked out of the house because of injury and unable to work after divorce, so he repented and not only sent his nephews and nieces back to his hometown, but also stayed in the factory every day under the pretext of working overtime for fear that he could not stand the entanglement of his family. People who came were stopped by the guards. The family couldn't get any advantage and had to go to the fields, so they didn't bother him anymore. His wife saw his determination and decided to give him a chance. Now, the family lives in harmony. Look, the gloves on the table are specially knitted for me by the wife as a thank-you gift."
What Gu Mingyue didn't know was that the reason the security guard at the machinery factory helped to stop them was because of her.
After returning to the factory, the co-worker who sat at the same table with Da Jun spread the news quickly, and emphasized that it was Gu Mingyue who said that if Da Jun could not handle the relationship between husband and wife well, she would bring people from the Women's Federation to the factory every day to do ideological work for all the male comrades.
As soon as these words came out, the machinery factory was in an uproar...
