Chen Lishu tried to calm down for a while, and then she realized that she had done nothing wrong. Besides, he had a face just for people to look at.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned to the man again. He seemed to be equipped with a radar device. As soon as Chen Lishu's eyes fell on him, his eyes met hers.
Chen Lishu swallowed, and tried her best to raise the corner of her mouth to show him a friendly smile: "Comrade, I think such a big bag should be quite heavy for you to carry, why don't you put it in the car."
It was impossible to ask someone to sit up. Seeing that the military green bag he was carrying was tall and big, Chen Lishu kindly suggested.
After saying that, I was worried that he might misunderstand me, so I immediately explained: "My husband is also a soldier."
The man was startled when he heard her words, and then his tense face softened a lot. His eyes were not as cold as before.
"Thank you, it's not too heavy." The voice was low and full of magnetism.
The man was telling the truth. For someone like him who often runs with a 60 kilogram load, such a bag is nothing.
Seeing that he persisted, Chen Lishu had no choice but to give up.
The man walked steadily and kept a close distance from the tricycle. Chen Lishu was sitting behind the car, and the man's eyes were too penetrating. Chen Lishu felt that his eyes occasionally glanced at her, and she subconsciously straightened her body and half-clasped her hands.
His fists were placed stiffly on his knees.
The man quickly noticed her embarrassment and couldn't help but slow down. He gradually distanced himself from the tricycle. Chen Lishu sighed secretly, and finally relaxed her tense body.
I couldn't help complaining in my heart, this man has such a strong aura, anyone who lives with him will definitely be depressed to death.
Although the tricycle was not as fast as riding a bicycle, it was about the same speed as a horse-drawn carriage. We arrived at the door of our house in no time.
Chen Lishu got out of the car and was instructing the master to put the sewing machine in the house. When she looked up, she saw the man she had just met on the road walking over from a distance. Finally, he stopped in front of her house.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Chen Lishu asked subconsciously. But as soon as she said the words, she thought of something, her almond-shaped eyes opened wide, and her lips were half-opened: "You, are you Gu Xingdong?"
She said that she looked so familiar to this man just now. Although the other brothers of the Gu family were not as refined as the man in front of her, they were all relatively similar. There were still some similarities.
Gu Xingdong nodded.
Before he could ask who she was, the girl opposite suddenly turned around and ran away quickly.
Gu Xingdong: "..."
The delivery man grabbed the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he looked up and saw the person running away, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey girl, you haven't said where to put the things yet!"
"Master, please wait until I come back." Chen Lishu hurriedly said, turning around and disappearing.
Gu Xingdong contacted her one after another and suddenly came up with a bold guess. This reckless girl was probably the 'third sister-in-law' mentioned in her younger sister Gu Xingping's letter.
Although I didn't take a closer look when I was on the road, I knew she was a very beautiful girl. She was kind enough to help him carry his bag. What did she say at that time?
"My husband is also a soldier."
Well, it shouldn't be wrong.
Chen Lishu really didn't mean to abandon her and run away. It was because Gu Xingdong appeared so suddenly that she had no time to react.
Because she didn't know how to face it, she was currently thinking about running to the fields to call Gu Shoufu and Li Xiulan. After all, with them here, she could feel at ease.
"Dad, Mom—" She ran to the area where Li Xiulan and the others were working. Chen Lishu caught the two of them and started shouting loudly.
"Xiulan, look at that, is your third daughter-in-law waving over there, maybe there is something going on at home?" Li Maocai's family inadvertently turned around and saw Chen Lishu in the distance, and kindly reminded her.
Li Xiulan turned around and took a closer look to see if it was her third daughter-in-law. She had gone to town so well, why did she come here now? Judging from the situation, she seemed very anxious.
Li Xiulan felt a sudden thought. Is something going to happen?
"Old man, let's go and take a look. The child is here. Don't tell me what happened at home."
Gu Shoufu also stopped what he was doing and walked quickly towards the field with Li Xiulan.
"Dad, Mom, Xingdong is back." Chen Lishu said anxiously when she saw the two people approaching.
"What? Who is back?" Li Xiulan thought she heard wrongly and asked again uncertainly. However, her heart jumped involuntarily.
"Mom, Xingdong is back. I met him on the way back. He is at home now."
"Hey, the third child is back!" Li Xiulan was convinced this time, and she seemed to be very happy, and ran towards home.
"Old lady, please stop running and falling." Gu Shoufu was also happy in his heart. He kept walking, but he did not forget to warn: "How old are you? Slow down."
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to call my eldest brother and sister-in-law." After Chen Lishu finished speaking, she turned around and headed towards another area before the two of them agreed.
…
By the time Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu arrived home, Gu Xingdong had already moved the sewing machine into the house and paid the bill for the delivery man.
"You kid still knows how to come back." Li Xiulan, who had been full of joy after running away, now opened the door and saw her son's tall figure. Her nose was sore and she couldn't stop crying. She raised her hand and touched his back.
I hit him hard several times to vent my anger, but in the end I didn't give up. When I hit him, I patted him comfortingly.
Li Xiulan looked directly at her son and her voice trembled: "He has become darker and thinner."
He was only eighteen when he left home. Seven years have passed. Looking at the wrinkles on Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu's faces and the few gray hairs on their faces, Gu Xingdong also felt that his throat was a little tight: "Mom, Dad, I'm back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Gu Shoufu's eyes fell on his son's resolute face, and he nodded happily.
By the time Chen Lishu called Gu Xingguo, Gu Xingmin, and Gu Xingye back, Gu Xingdong had already listened to Li Xiulan recount intermittently everything that had happened to her family in the past few years.
There were so many people crowded into the room at once, especially Gu Xingdong's aura was so strong that the air around him seemed to be compressed when he was sitting there.
Chen Lishu stood by the door politely, listening to everyone talking happily.
"Lishu, come here quickly."
Li Xiulan finally remembered her third daughter-in-law and raised her hand to wave her over.
Gu Xingdong sat next to Li Xiulan. Hearing Li Xiulan's words, his dark eyes looked over. Chen Lishu's heart trembled when he stared at her, and she subconsciously shook her head in rejection.
"Mom, I'm so happy that Xingdong is back, why don't I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food and make something delicious tonight."
After Chen Lishu finished speaking, she was afraid that Li Xiulan would ask her to go there again, so she turned around and went out again.
Seeing her movements, Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows without any trace. His dark eyes became a little deeper.
