He thought he could control this woman for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that overnight, this woman seemed to have changed her gender. She used to clamor to learn English and accompany him abroad, but now she was cold to him, which puzzled him.
For a time, he thought that this woman was playing hard to get, and wanted to use this method to make him compromise and marry her as soon as possible, but a few days ago, he heard that she was going to marry that country man during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If you play hard to get, is it a bit too much?
Gu Yangtian looked at his son's dazed look and coughed lightly: "I put aside my old face and called Cheng Wanshan. He has already relented. You go to him again and be more sincere. After the matter is completed, you must personally Come and say thank you.”
Gu Yangtian understood that this matter was nothing more than a trivial matter to Cheng Wanshan. He dared to manipulate Gu Minglang just to make himself soft in front of him.
Two of Gu Yangtian's three sons have gone away as soldiers. They are in the mountains and rivers, unable to be touched or seen. Only Gu Minglang is by his side. Although he is angry with this son, he is his thorn in the side after all. How could I be willing to put him in trouble?
It's just a matter of face, no big deal.
Gu Minglang looked up at his father, stunned and silent. His mother poked him and said, "Why don't you thank your dad yet."
Gu Minglang came back to his senses: "Thank you, Dad, I will take care of it."
Gu Minglang walked out of his father's house and smoked a cigarette downstairs.
In the smoke, I saw Cheng Xiang's face again, bright and moving, with a sweet smile and hope.
Over the years, there have been many sweethearts around him, and she was the only one who was as devoted to him as Cheng Xiang was.
This is how men are, if you keep chasing him, the less you care about him, and if you leave him, he will become obsessed with you and start to worry about gains and losses.
Cheng thought, it really made him unwilling to give in. Who is that man? A butcher, a farmer, who can compare with the sons of high-ranking cadres and business elites? Cheng thought, Cheng thought, are you crazy? Or are your eyes frosty?
A few days later, the army contacted Gu Minglang and told him that they were doing something special and took away all the supplies in his hand.
The moment he got the repayment, Gu Minglang laughed a little at himself.
Cheng Wanshan solved the thorny issue that he was worried about with just one sentence.
Now I regret not taking down Cheng Xiang earlier.
For so many years, he was tired of her obsession and unrestrainedness, and he didn't even touch her. It was a pity now that he thought about it.
Now that the matter is done, it is natural to give a thank you gift. Gu Minglang knows the rules.
He brought two bottles of wine and generous gifts to Cheng Wanshan's house.
Cheng Wanshan changed his self-respecting attitude this time and shouted earnestly: "Mingming, my wise nephew."
He looks like a loving elder.
He also regretted what he and Cheng Xiang were doing, "I thought you would be the perfect choice to be my son-in-law. Who knows what fate can do to people? What a pity."
Gu Minglang nodded apologetically.
At this time, the door opened and Cheng Ningning walked in.
"Ningning is back? Come and see who is here?" Cheng Wanshan waved to Cheng Ningning eagerly.
"Gu Minglang?" Cheng Ningning looked at him doubtfully.
Gu Minglang didn't have a deep impression of Cheng Ningning. He only knew that she was the stepdaughter of the Cheng family. When she was young, everyone got together to play. This girl was always timid and couldn't stretch her arms and legs. She stood beside Mingyan. Behind Cheng Xiang, there is almost no sense of presence.
Later, he heard that she came from the countryside. When he saw her again, he always felt that she smelled earthy, which gave him a headache.
The two of them had nothing to do with each other, so they were very estranged from each other.
When I see this girl again today, she seems to be much more confident and clearer than when she was a child, and her clothes seem to have improved.
When he was a child, in order not to be accused of favoring one over the other, Cheng Wanshan liked to buy the same clothes for Cheng Xiang and Cheng Ningning.
The two people appeared wearing the same clothes. In contrast, Cheng Ningning looked like a ridiculous existence.
Gu Minglang stood up, nodded to Cheng Ningning, and then said goodbye to Cheng Wanshan: "I am really grateful to my uncle for his help this time. I won't interrupt my nephew. I will come to visit another day."
Cheng Wanshan called Cheng Ningning and said, "Ningning, go send Mingming to Dad."
Cheng Ningning looked at Cheng Wanshan speechlessly, and Cheng Wanshan raised his eyebrows and glared at her.
Cheng Ningning had no choice but to follow Gu Minglang downstairs.
The two people downstairs have their own concerns and dislike each other.
"Let's go slowly." Cheng Ningning said perfunctorily and planned to go back upstairs.
"Sorry." Gu Minglang called her from behind: "Excuse me, do you know Cheng Xiang's current address?"
Cheng Ningning turned around and said, "What? Are you still thinking about me now?"
Gu Minglang said indifferently: "Cheng Xiang is different from you. She has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. You come from the countryside, so do you think she can stay in a place like the countryside?"
Cheng Ningning rolled her eyes, knowing that he wasn't holding anything back.
"I don't know if she can stay. I'll give you the address, so you might as well ask her directly." Cheng Ningning thought of the loving looks of Cheng Xiang and Zhou Tianlei, and wanted to send someone there to add to the trouble.
Cheng Ningning took a piece of paper from the store next door, wrote down Cheng Xiang's address, threw it to Gu Minglang, and turned around to leave.
Gu Minglang said in a deep voice behind her: "I will bring Cheng Xiang back. Even if Cheng Xiang doesn't come back, you can't take her place."
Cheng Ningning turned around suddenly when she heard this, and Gu Minglang had already driven away in his car.
**********
Knowing that Chen Jiao would leave to study in a neighboring city tomorrow, Cheng wanted to get up early and make some pastries. After packing them into boxes, he remembered that some accounts had not been done clearly yesterday, so he followed Zhou Tianlei to the pig farm in the morning.
I met Xiaotian at the pig farm and gave him the pastries and asked him to bring them to Chen Jiao after get off work.
Chen Tian smelled it: "It smells so good. Can I have one?"
"No, this is for your sister to take to study." Cheng Xiang stopped him sternly.
Chen Tian scratched his head: "Well, my sister is lucky. She is picking wolfberries on the north slope. I will send them to her later."
"Really? So early?" Cheng wanted to ask.
"When she got there late, someone tried to snatch it from her. She was afraid of causing trouble, so she got up early every day and went there." Chen Tian explained.
Cheng Xiang pondered for a moment: "I'll go find her and give it to her myself so that you don't have to eat it secretly."
She glanced at Zhou Tianlei, who nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."
Cheng Xiang snatched the cake from Chen Tian's arms and trotted out the door.
The northern slope where Chen Jiao picks wolfberries is not far from the pig farm. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there.
"Chen Jiao." Cheng Xiang saw Chen Jiao picking on the hillside with a basket on her back.
Chen Jiao turned around: "Think about it? Why are you here?"
She trotted down the hillside quickly.
"Aren't you leaving tomorrow? I made some pastries for you and brought them over there to eat." Cheng wanted to push the pastry box into Chen Jiao's hand.
Chen Jiao smelled it and said, "It smells really good, thank you."
Cheng Xiang glanced at the basket on Chen Jiao's back and saw that he hadn't picked much.
"I'll help you pick it together." Cheng wanted to go up the mountain.
"No, just find a shade to rest for a while and chat with me." Although it was early in the morning, the summer morning sun was also very poisonous. Cheng Xiang was already sweating all the way here.
Chen Jiao climbed up the hillside in two or two steps, picking while chatting with Cheng Xiang down the slope.
The two of them were chatting without saying a word. At this time, several people came from the west and swarmed around them.
Cheng Xiang saw the menacing men coming and stood up warily.
