The Tight Embrace of the End Times

In the next few days, at Xiao Qiao's request, Gu Leng did nothing and "rehabilitated" at home.

Xiao Qiao made all kinds of nutritious porridge, brought the nutritious soup in front of Gu Leng, and filled Gu Leng's stomach with water, but seeing his satisfied face, Gu Leng endured it. Who knew that Xiao Qiao went too far, even Gu Leng was not even allowed to get off the ground, he had to run errands for everything, even when Gu Leng wanted to go to the bathroom, Xiao Qiao wanted to hug him, but Gu Leng blasted him away with a cold face.

I can't bear it anymore, my lover is too sweet, it's really unbearable! !

The hall and yard of the Yuan family are full of grain, and now it is rare to see them busy in the field, almost all of them have finished their work, and the rest just needs to keep the temperature needed by the crops as much as possible.

Gu Leng was bored upstairs, so he thought of playing cards, put on his clothes, went downstairs, and said to Yuan Yushu, "Yushu, let's play cards."

Yuan Yushu calmly said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Leng, I'm going to cook for the whole family later!"

"Yushu, isn't your aunt cooking all the time? Go and play!" Yuan Qinghe said.

"Ah, little uncle, you don't know, my little aunt did me a favor yesterday, and I promised her to help her. I really have something to do, so I can't play cards." He blinked carefully at Qin Yufang as he spoke.

"Yeah, today Yushu agreed to help me, and I have prepared a lot of things for him to do." Qin Yufang explained.

"Then Xiao Mo is idle, go play cards with Xiao Leng." Yuan Qinghe turned to Yuan Yumo and said.

"Mm~, um, good." Yuan Yumo nodded blankly.

"Alright then, but there is still one person missing, I'll go find Gu Hai."

Yuan Yushu gave Yuan Yumo a sympathetic and gloating look from behind, Yuan Yumo was still in a daze, and Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out.

Gu Hai's house, as soon as Gu Leng entered the door, Aunt He enthusiastically pulled him over to sit down, and even stuffed a glass of water into his hand, letting him warm his hands and drinking when he was thirsty.

Gu Leng was a little puzzled, he looked at Gu Hai who was sitting on the side, that guy was giggling.

Looking at Gu Yun who was standing on the side again, Gu Yun made a loving gesture with a smile all over his face, thinking of the classmate Gu Hai mentioned last time, he got a solid idea.

Aunt He smiled and said, "Xiao Hai is not young anymore. In the past, he would naturally study and work, and it would be okay to delay for a few years, but in this world..."

"I just found a suitable partner, and Xiaohai himself is satisfied. I discussed with his father to get married this winter, and the other's parents also meant the same thing. This date is only two weeks away. There is no auspicious or inauspicious date now. It's just that this important marriage is not a child's play, two weeks to prepare is enough, but it is already a reasonable time."

"Brother Xiao Leng, I want you to be my best man." Gu Hai leaned over and whispered.

"This, isn't it good?" Gu Leng was a little hesitant, he thought he and Xiao Qiao would be the perfect match, but he couldn't hold back what outsiders would say!It would be bad if it affected Gu Hai's marriage.

"What's wrong, you are equivalent to Brother Xiao Hai, and it would be great to be his best man." Aunt He interjected.

"Well, fine, then I agree, then I am Gu Hai's brother and his best man, so I will help in his wedding."

"Hey, it's a wedding, it's just that Xiao Hai went to the other party's house, invited the other party's family members, and everyone had a meal together. Even if the marriage is successful, no one from the village is invited. I can't afford it, and the villagers are all I understand."

"Not to mention, Aunt He, the bride and groom must wear new clothes when they get married."

"That's right, I'm going to make a new cotton dress for Xiaohai. We have cotton at home, and I can also prepare the new clothes for the woman. The cotton cloth made by Zhao Chunru is all white. After all, there is no way to dye it." , and one more thing, cotton cloth can't be used as the outer cloth of cotton clothes, it's just unlucky."

"It's not easy, just tear down the old clothes, make two cotton outer fabrics, and store cotton."

"Xiao Leng, who else has clothes that don't break now? Old clothes are old, and they will be broken once they are taken apart."

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao were in winter, in order to avoid trouble, they wore a big coat with a tear on the outside, but it was new on the inside.But I don't think that other people's houses are already covered with tattered clothes inside and out.

Although cotton cloth is good, many people have slept on new quilts and put on new cotton clothes this winter. However, it is okay to wear it for ordinary times, but it is really not feasible to wear it for weddings.

"Aunt He, I still have a new big red down jacket. The color is too bright. I haven't worn it. I can give it to you." This down jacket has been in Gu Leng's space for several years, and it was Gu Leng's. When I was in college, red was popular that year. Gu Leng went shopping with three roommates in the dormitory, and then bought a red down jacket by himself. But Gu Leng looks too good-looking in it.

"I can't ask for this, you can keep it and wear it, new clothes are so rare, I can't ask for you."

"I really don't wear this dress. It's in my place. It's also a 100-year-old item. It's just what Gu Hai needs. What's the matter with giving him a dress? If you really refuse, I won't be his best man."

"Well, if you are the best man, we should give you something. There's no way it's the other way around."

"I have it here, so this matter is settled." Gu Leng made a final decision, not giving Aunt He a chance to refuse again.

"Where does Xiao Hai get married and live?" Gu Leng was quite concerned about Gu Hai's affairs.

"I opened a special room upstairs for the young couple. You, Uncle Gu, have already learned how to kang. Tomorrow, go pick up some soil and come back to repair one, that's all."

Hmm..., what else is there to prepare?At the banquet, Aunt He said that the two families have a meal, the clothes have been settled, the house has been settled, the date has been set, there should be nothing wrong!

"Ah, the most important thing is still missing." Gu Yun exclaimed.

Several people in the room looked at her together, Gu Leng really couldn't figure out what else he was unprepared for.

"There is also a ring, a wedding ring, a wedding ring that symbolizes eternity." For girls, sometimes some formal things are extremely important.

"What kind of wedding ring, when is it, and talk about these vain rituals, this is what you young people are fashionable, we didn't have these things when we got married at that time, your dad and I just have a bicycle and a sewing machine. Are you married? They are also very happy, unlike some young people nowadays, so what if they have a ring? There are conflicts from time to time, and in the end, many people are still divorced. "

Because of the previous failed relationship, Gu Yun has some opinions of his own, and all formal things, if not supported by sincere feelings, are nothing but dreams in the end.

If it is in the modern age of material abundance, if these things can increase happiness, why not have one?

It's a pity that this is the end of the world, and the era of running around at the most basic level to meet food needs.

Before the end of the world, Gu Leng, a single man, really had no reason to buy a ring, so there was nothing he could do about the ring. Moreover, he himself was a little regretful. He and Xiao Qiao didn't have a pair of rings that symbolized eternity!

Gu Hai is satisfied with his marriage and looks forward to it very much. He is just an innocent man who has never been in love. He grew up in the modern age where there is a rich and colorful spiritual life. Although he knows that a ring is a luxury, he still cannot help it. His face looked disappointed.

Gu Yun bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly squatted down, rummaged in the drawer for a while, took out a black velvet box and handed it to Gu Hai, motioning him to open it.

Gu Hai gently opened this delicate box, and inside it turned out to be two simple and elegant platinum rings, one big and one small.

"Give it to you, brother, this is the only gift that my sister can give. I wish you a happy marriage and a happy marriage for a hundred years." Gu Yun wanted to pretend to be relaxed and said, but he still choked up and burst into tears.

"Sister, I can't have it. You will get married in the future, so keep it for yourself."

"Joke, this is the wedding ring I prepared for me and that scumbag, now that scumbag is dead, this relationship has passed away, it stays with me, and it makes me unhappy, and it doesn't carry the old The reason why you will use your ring next time you get married, its best destination is for you."

"But I don't know if it fits the size of your fingers. If not, just find a rope and hang it around your neck."

"Sister, thank you."

"You're my younger brother, thank you for what you want. Just don't marry a daughter-in-law and forget about my mother and me." Gu Yun joked.

"How come, I promise, you will always be my closest people."

Several people laughed out loud.

"Xiao Hai, let's go, come home with me and get the down jacket."

Yuan Yumo watched Gu Leng bring Gu Hai back, so he followed behind and went upstairs, ready to play cards.

Gu Leng pretended to rummage through the closet, took the opportunity to take out a red down jacket from the space and gave it to Gu Hai, Gu Hai happily hugged the down jacket and went home.

Yuan Yumo asked in a low voice: "He, didn't he come to play cards? Why did he leave?"

At this moment, Gu Leng remembered his original purpose of going to Gu Hai's house, but he completely forgot it.

Immediately, he said embarrassedly: "I forgot, Gu Hai has something to do, otherwise, when Yuan Yushu is free, pull him up, and let's play cards together again."

"Okay, he's only busy at noon today, and he'll be fine in the afternoon. I'll pull him up when the time comes." Yuan Yumo ran away excitedly.

Xiao Qiao watched silently from the side, Yuan Yushu would not thank Yuan Yumo for pulling him up to play cards with Gu Leng, this poor guy, thinking of the garlic last time, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but play smart...
