Chapter 016: The body is more honest than the mouth
There are five children in the family. The eldest daughter is married to another village. The second child, Gu Rong, has a lazy look. The third child has not been heard from since he was lost when he was a child. The youngest, Gu Qin, is still in school. Only the fourth child is Gu Bai.
The most promising, but...
Seeing that Gu Bai was as silent as a gourd, Wu Minzhen let out a long sigh and stopped nagging.
After a long silence, Gu Bai finally said, "Where are the two children?"
"In your house." Wu Minzhen showed a little laziness when she mentioned her two precious grandchildren, "These two clever little guys like to pester Tongtong, and Tongtong also really loves children..."
Before Wu Minzhen could finish speaking, Gu Bai stood up and walked out, "I'll go back to the house and take a look."
Wu Minzhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Wenlin.
Gu Wenlin gave her a reassuring smile, and then whispered: "In my opinion, it's okay."
"Really?" Wu Minzhen poked her head out worriedly.
"Don't underestimate that girl Tongtong, she's not an energy-saving lamp either." Gu Wenlin got off the kang and pulled Wu Minzhen back to the kang, who was still looking around. "Just keep your heart in your stomach. If the young couple quarreled, the bed
The head quarrels with the bottom of the bed, look at the eldest brother and the others, aren’t they noisy every day?”
"You know better!" Wu Minzhen glared at Gu Wenlin, and then her tense heart dropped.
"But Xiao Qin'er needs to take care of it!" Speaking of Gu Qin, Gu Wenlin became very angry: "Always turning your elbows outward, what do you mean!"
Wu Minzhen nodded: "Yes, this girl is indeed doing more and more outrageous things!"
When Gu Bai returned to the house, he found that it was quiet.
When he walked in, he found that Ruan Tong and the two children were already asleep in the bed.
However, Ruan Tong woke up when he heard the sound of the door opening.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned his head to see that Gu Bai was back, so he asked lightly: "Have you had dinner?"
"Eat." As soon as Gu Bai finished speaking, his stomach made a sound in protest, "Gu——"
The two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the room fell into silence.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Gu Bai walked towards the table.
Ruan Tong covered his mouth, afraid that he would not be able to control his laughter.
Could it be that this is the legendary saying that the body is more honest than the mouth?
After a while, she got up, grabbed a coat and was about to go out.
Gu Bai quickly pulled her: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to cook you some noodles, otherwise you will be too hungry to sleep at night." Ruan Tong lowered his voice for fear of waking up the child.
"I still need to make a fire, so don't bother." Gu Bai used his strength to pull her back.
Ruan Tong thought for a while and then had an idea: "How about I make you a cup of malted milk and some biscuits, how about you make do with it?"
"Okay." Gu Bai nodded, his cold face showing his first smile of the day.
Afterwards, he sat at the table and watched Ruan Tong busy, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
He subconsciously felt that Ruan Tong treated her so sincerely. He should give Ruan Tong an explanation.
"Ruan Tong..."
"Fourth brother..."
The two spoke at the same time in tacit agreement.
Then, he fell into silence again.
After Ruan Tong placed the biscuits and hot malted milk in front of Gu Bai, he sat down and looked at him with a smile: "Fourth brother, let's talk first."
Ruan Tong guessed that this man wanted to explain to her what happened today.
Humph, he still has some conscience!
Thinking of this, Ruan Tong couldn't help but look down at his flat belly.
"Qiu Hong is the childhood friend of my comrade in arms. She used to be an art soldier, but now she has retired. I made it clear to her today about some misunderstandings I had before." Gu Bai seemed to be trying very hard to organize his words to explain the matter.
Misunderstand?
Ruan Tong glanced at him suspiciously: "Fourth brother, are you sure you have made it clear to her? She also understands what you want to express?"
When she was in the back mountain, she could hear clearly. Qiu Hong kept complaining and crying, but she didn't even say a single word of this boring gourd.
"I admit, I am indeed stupid." Gu Bai showed a slight embarrassment.
Ruan Tong would not be polite to him and said bluntly: "Your mouth is stupid and lazy."
"This matter is my fault." Gu Bai admitted his mistake sincerely.
Ruan Tong leaned back and said seriously: "Fourth brother, tell me the truth, do you like that Qiu Hong?"
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't blame him so bitterly?
Ruan Tong felt that Gu Bai must have been attracted to her in the past.
"No." Gu Bai answered firmly.
Ruan Tong shrugged, "Okay, if you say no, there won't be."
"No matter what, today's incident happened because of me, and I apologize to you." Gu Bai sat upright with a sincere attitude.
This posture is just short of giving Ruan Tong a military salute.
Ruan Tong couldn't help but laugh out loud with his serious look.
Seeing her smile, Gu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Even he himself didn't realize that he was extremely nervous just now.
"Fourth brother, I have something to tell you." Ruan Tong bit his lower lip and spoke hesitantly.
Gu Bai raised his eyes and met Ruan Tong's clear, worried and troubled eyes. His eyes flickered slightly and he said calmly: "Well, you tell me."
"Ahem... that, that..." Ruan Tong's pretty face turned red, her eyes evasive: "I, I'm pregnant."
Gu Bai was stunned.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Ruan Tong silently counted in his mind for ten seconds before speaking: "Well, if you..."
"Are you willing to give birth to him?" Gu Bai asked anxiously before Ruan Tong could speak. It was rare for him to be so calm as he was so nervous that his emotions were exposed.
This time Ruan Tong was stunned.
She originally wanted to say: "If you don't agree to give birth, then let's separate." After all, she had already made up her mind to give birth to the child, and she would not change her mind even if she left the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, the situation was different from what she expected.
Gu Bai's silence turned out not to be a rejection, but because he was worried that she would not want the child.
I almost misunderstood again!
Gu Bai seems to have a 'communication difficulty syndrome.' To communicate with this boring gourd, you must have enough patience.
"You don't have to worry about making money. I can drive a truck and farm. I won't let you two go hungry." Gu Bai's eyes were firm.
Ruan Tong's lips raised slightly: "Fourth brother, don't underestimate me, I will also work hard for our lives."
Gu Bai rarely smiled: "Of course I won't underestimate you. After all, women can hold up half the sky."
Ruan Tong was stunned for a moment, and soon remembered the origin of this wise saying, and the smile on his lips gradually deepened.
People in this era are quite interesting. They often quote a few philosophical quotes, but they are all true.
The two had a deep conversation, and Ruan Tong went back to bed to sleep.
Gu Bai was lying on the floor, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"Stepmother, don't leave!"
Suddenly, Gu Bai heard Dabao's voice, and he quickly sat up.
Seeing Dabao closing his eyes and frowning nervously, he must have had a bad dream.
So, Ruan Tong thought of leaving today, was Dabao aware of it?
A trace of annoyance flashed across Gu Bai's face, and he turned around and went back to sleep...
