Lin Shilang Gu

"Cricket?" Qu Xuesong didn't even know when she had such a "pet name", she said, "It doesn't sound good."

Cheng Guiyuan smiled and said: "Call out casually, if you don't like it, don't call out next time. How about it, are you free during the Chinese New Year?"

Qu Xuesong: "No time."

Cheng Guiyuan: "Aren't you free recently?" A big star like Qu Xuesong has a good schedule, and he doesn't even have a private itinerary.

Qu Xuesong: "I have time to rest, but I don't have time to go to your house."

Cheng Guiyuan leaned on the sofa at home, stretched her legs in a more comfortable position, and said lazily and coquettishly: "Come on, my parents really want to see you."

"Your parents?"

"That's right," Cheng Guiyuan glanced at Cheng's mother, who was called tidying up the living room, but her ears were erect and she kept glancing at her. She deliberately raised her voice and said loudly, "My mother can't wait for you to come."

Mother Cheng didn't bother to pretend, so she looked over.

When Cheng Guiyuan was determined to chase Qu Xuesong back last time, she had a showdown with Cheng's mother, and she must marry Qu Xuesong in her life.Because Cheng's father and Qu Xuesong have a good relationship, Cheng's mother has inevitably been jealous of each other. Suddenly, the former rival in love is about to become a son-in-law/daughter-in-law, and Cheng's mother is completely fooled.

But it didn't take long for her to digest this fact. Her biggest request to Cheng Guiyuan was to settle down as soon as possible. She is a little older, but overall it is not too exaggerated. She and Dad Cheng are also five or six years behind, and Qu Xuesong is also a friend of Dad Cheng. They have been friends for many years, and their character must be trustworthy.

Cheng's mother had a lot of fun this year, and urged Cheng Guiyuan to bring Qu Xuesong back to have a look.She had met Qu Xuesong, but seeing him as Mr. Cheng's wife was different from seeing him as a mother-in-law.

Cheng Guiyuan made a show on her own, and she didn't want to tell her mother. If she didn't understand, it's okay to say it. If she understood, she might be punished. What Cheng's mother dislikes the most is her inconspicuous temper. She often says that she doesn't know what she looks like. Who has scolded her countless times since she was a child.Fortunately, she went abroad after university, otherwise she would have been talked about to death for being so promiscuous in China.

"Did you tell them? All..." Qu Xuesong paused, then asked softly, "How did you say it?"

Cheng Guiyuan was upright, and said plainly: "I'll just say you are my future wife, and let them prepare a dowry for me."

Qu Xuesong: "..."

She couldn't help but bend her eyes.

Cheng Guiyuan seemed to see her appearance, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Qu Xuesong."

Qu Xuesong was touched by her sudden gentle tone, and couldn't help but reply in the same tone: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Guiyuan put on a bit of coquettishness, not wanting her mother to see, so she covered her side face with her hand, and lowered her voice: "Why don't you come to my house during the Chinese New Year?"

Qu Xuesong said, "No."

Cheng Guiyuan pouted.

Qu Xuesong heard that she didn't answer, guessed her expression, couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "I also want to go home for the New Year."

"Oh." Cheng Guiyuan was suddenly embarrassed, "What, I forgot." She was so preoccupied with hooking up with Qu Xuesong that she forgot that he also had parents.But who is Cheng Guiyuan, she immediately changed the channel, "How about I go home with you?"

Qu Xuesong laughed, and asked, "What do you think?"

Cheng Guiyuan hooked the long hair next to her ears: "I think it's fine."

Qu Xuesong said softly, "I don't think so."

Cheng Guiyuan breathed out her nose: "Hmph."

Qu Xuesong chuckled lightly and said, "Good boy."

Cheng Guiyuan fell down on the sofa with an "ah", Qu Xuesong heard the sound and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Guiyuan sighed and said, "I feel like I got the orgasm of my soul again."

Qu Xuesong: "..."

Cheng Guiyuan rolled around on the sofa, face down, with her hands around her lips, and asked teasingly in a volume that Cheng's mother would never hear: "Qu Xuesong, when will you make me really cum again? once?"

Qu Xuesong rolled his throat and helped the wall next to him.

Cheng Guiyuan's voice was softer, almost out of breath: "Or, I let you do it."

Qu Xuesong covered the phone's microphone and took a deep breath.

Cheng Guiyuan finally said softly: "I miss you, I and my body miss you."

Qu Xuesong was quiet for about ten seconds, and hurriedly said: "I still have something to do, I'll go to work first, I'll talk about it when I have time."

Then hung up.

Cheng Guiyuan covered her eyes with the back of her hand, shaking from laughing on the sofa.

Cheng's mother looked at her and shook her head like this, she really didn't want to stay in a female university.

Cheng Guiyuan suddenly stopped laughing and went to the kitchen to find her father.Cheng's father was chopping the stuffing for the dumplings to be made later, and there was an endless sound of chugging and chugging.Cheng Guiyuan opened the kitchen door and shouted, "Dad!"

Father Cheng stopped the kitchen knife in his hand, wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Guiyuan closed the door behind her back, and asked seriously: "Where is Qu Xuesong's parents' house, do you know?"

Father Cheng said, "What do you want to do?"

Cheng Guiyuan said: "I'll go find her."

Father Cheng asked, "Why are you looking for her?"

Cheng Guiyuan replied: "I'm going to see her parents. If she doesn't let me see me, I'll see her alone."

Father Cheng smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

Cheng Guiyuan also laughed.

The father and daughter murmured, Mother Cheng took a look outside, and then took another look. After she came out, Cheng Guiyuan went upstairs mysteriously. Mother Cheng went into the kitchen to inquire about the news. Father Cheng mixed the stuffing and watched She smiled: "Wait and prepare the dowry."

Cheng Guiyuan went upstairs and locked the door, searched the Internet for trains going to a certain city in Shandong, a certain city and a certain county, and placed an order without hesitation.

***

On the morning of 29, Lin Yuewei and Gu Yanqiu woke up early without sleeping in.Before going out, Lin Yuewei was inside the door and asked Gu Yanqiu who was standing by the trunk, "Have you got the presents for grandparents?"

"Take it."

"Where are the new clothes for our dad?"

"In the backseat."

"Take a look."

"I've read it for the third time." Even so, Gu Yanqiu went around to the rear door, opened it, and turned sideways so that Lin Yuewei could see that there was indeed a bag.

"Wine to bring back?"

"I have it, and it's also in the trunk."

"What else? Help me think about it."

"..."

Gu Yanqiu put the scarf on her, and pulled the person out of the door: "It's fine to take you with me, everything else is outside the body, even if something is missing, you can buy it over there."

"But……"

"Come on." Gu Yanqiu straightened Lin Yuewei's head, which was about to look back, and pressed her shoulder into the passenger seat.

The two went to the hospital to pick up Gu Huai. Originally, Gu Huai invited Gu Feiquan to celebrate the New Year together, but Gu Feiquan said he wanted to go to the detention center to see his mother, and he didn't have a good impression of Gu's family except Gu Yanqiu, and neither did Gu Huai. Force him.

Gu Huai's hometown is in the northeast of Yanning, about four or five hours' drive away from Yanning. Gu Yanqiu gave her driver a holiday for the New Year, and she and Lin Yuewei drove half the distance alone.

Gu Yanqiu had already told Lin Yuewei earlier that her grandparents were both teachers, one taught a middle school and the other taught a university, they were considered to be half a scholarly family, the old people were very easy-going, so let her not be nervous.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Yanqiu drove the car into a residential area with ease. The residential area looked old, and the walls on the surface of the buildings were mottled, but walking in the residential area was full of life. So have been living.

Lin Yuewei and Gu Yanqiu each carried a big bag and a small bag in both hands, followed behind Gu Huai, and opened an iron door of the corridor. With a creak, dull footsteps sounded in the stairwell. The corridor is very clean, but after all, it is old , filled with a faint smell of decay.

Lin Yue asked softly, "Which floor do your grandparents live on?"

"It's our grandparents." Gu Yanqiu corrected her first, and then replied, "What's wrong on the second floor?"

Lin Yuewei nodded: "The second floor is alright, I think you have to climb the stairs, it's inconvenient for the old man's legs to be tall."

Gu Yanqiu chuckled lightly: "They are in good health."

She suddenly touched Lin Yuewei's cheek with the back of her hand, but Lin Yuewei didn't hide and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Yanqiu said: "It's a little hot."

Lin Yuewei sighed, and said, "Maybe it's boring."

Gu Yanqiu raised his eyebrows, not telling the truth.

On the second floor, it was just two corners away. Gu Huai rang the doorbell. Lin Yuewei hid behind Gu Yanqiu and lowered his head.Gu Yanqiu looked back at her with a funny look, he was very generous outside, and when he saw an elder, he wanted to shrink himself back up.

But thinking about it, it's probably the younger generation's natural sense of fear. Gu Yanqiu was also nervous when she saw Lin Yuewei's parents, but she was used to covering it up.

The doorbell rang twice, and a voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Gu Huai said, "It's me."

Then came the sound of approaching footsteps, Gu Yanqiu saw Lin Yuewei stand up straight in an instant, raised his head, raised his chest and retracted his abdomen, pursed his lips, revealing the faint dimples on his cheeks.

Gu Yanqiu went around behind her back, found Lin Yuewei's hand, and squeezed her palm.

The door opened, and an amiable old lady appeared in front of Lin Yuewei. Her hair was still completely black and she looked only five or sixty years old. On Weiwei's face.

Lin Yuewei kept smiling and did not dare to slack off.

Gu Huai: "Mom."

Gu Yanqiu: "Grandma."

Lin Yuewei was about to brew honey in his dimples, and said sweetly, "Grandma."

Grandma Gu smiled and welcomed the person in: "Change your slippers, sit down for a while, I'll go to the kitchen."

Gu Yanqiu smiled and said, "You don't need to cook so many dishes."

Lin Yuewei didn't know what to do. After the two greeted Grandpa Gu, Gu Yanqiu led her to her room. Lin Yuewei looked at the layout of the room. There was a four-piece pink HelloKitty bed and a pink wardrobe. , The desk is also pink, pink and tender everywhere.

Lin Yuewei teased her: "I didn't expect President Gu to be so girlish."

Gu Yanqiu sat on the edge of the bed, hugged her, and said with a smile, "I arranged them when I was young. I don't come here often, so the decorations here haven't changed much."

"How is your relationship with your grandparents?"

"Well, let's just have a grandparent-grandson relationship like ordinary people, and come back during the holidays." Gu Yanqiu rubbed the tip of his nose lightly on her face, and kissed her lightly, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I just want to know, can't I?"

"Okay, what else do you want to know?"

"There's nothing I want to know for now." Lin Yuewei fixed his eyes, jumped out of Gu Yanqiu's arms, opened the drawer of the desk, and found a photo album in it, proudly said, "Look, I found it." What baby."

Gu Yanqiu was also very surprised, and said with a smile: "I forgot, you can see when it was taken."

Lin Yuewei opened the photo album. On the first page, Gu Yanqiu was born not long ago and was still a small dumpling. He was placed against the head of the bed and took a photo; the second one was crawling on all fours; the third one was walking with the support of a stool; The fourth one is sitting on the floor and playing with Lego.Then there are group photos, with grandparents, with grandparents and father, with grandparents and father, and... mother Shen Huaiyu.

Lin Yuewei turned to this photo and glanced at Gu Yanqiu.

Ever since the truth came to light, Gu Yanqiu's feelings for Shen Huaiyu have become extremely complicated, and basically he can't mention it if he can.Lin Yuewei was afraid that she would be stimulated by what she saw, so Gu Yanqiu lingered for a few seconds on this kind of photo, which could almost be called a family portrait, and asked calmly, "Why don't you turn it over?"

Lin Yuewei continued to turn backwards.

This photo album is not full, and the photos of Gu Yanqiu after the age of seven are gone. According to Gu Yanqiu's on-site recollection, she grew up and refused to take pictures, so she didn't keep any photos.

Lin Yuewei regretfully flipped through the album again from back to front.

Gu Yanqiu thought for a while and said, "Although the previous ones are gone, if you want to keep the future ones, I can take pictures."

Lin Yuewei raised his phone and clicked a picture on her.

Gu Yanqiu took it over and looked at it, and said, "Ugly."

Lin Yuewei: "..."

She covered her face with both hands.

Gu Yanqiu: "What's wrong?"

Lin Yuewei: "I'm autistic."

Gu Yanqiu pulled her hand down, made a "wow" sound effect, and said, "You think about it."

Lin Yue smiled: "This is the sound of running water."

Gu Yanqiu pressed her two hands down and clasped them on his thighs, with soft eyes, leaned over and kissed her.Lin Yuewei returned to her embrace as if she had no bones.

She lowered her head and played with Gu Yanqiu's fingers, and said, "Is it not good for us to be in the room because your grandpa is outside?"

Gu Yanqiu said: "It's okay, it's been two generations, it's normal not to be intimate, don't force yourself, and they are all busy, you can't talk to each other, wait until night."

Lin Yuewei hummed, and after a while, she couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and said, "I'd better go out, it's too rude."

Gu Yanqiu smiled but said nothing.

Lin Yuewei first went to the living room to see Grandpa Gu, who was playing chess with Gu Huai and had no time to talk to her, and Grandpa Gu had a square face with drooping eyes, a bit fierce.

Lin Yuewei went to the kitchen to watch Grandma Gu cook. When Grandma Gu saw her, she said "Oops", and then "the kitchen is full of oily smoke", "I'm all done here and I don't need you", "Is it boring, you let Yanqiu Take you out for a walk" Yunyun pushed Lin Yuewei's shoulders to "drive" her out.

Gu Yanqiu leaned against the doorway, raised her eyebrows, and said "I knew it earlier".

An hour before dinner, the two simply went out for a stroll, holding hands in the same pocket, and went for a walk.Lin Yuewei was afraid of being recognized by others, so he put on his down jacket and hat, and added a mask, only his eyes were exposed, which were big and bright.

Small cities have more New Year flavor than big cities, and there are a few children in the community holding fireworks.Lin Yuewei was so excited for a long time at the one who was circling around on the ground emitting sparks, and asked, "That, that, what is that called?"

Gu Yanqiu frowned: "Called..." What is it?

The two adults looked at each other, and at the end they couldn't remember what the name was, and looked at each other and laughed.

The children put several of them away and went to play elsewhere. Lin Yuewei sighed to the back: "There are talented people from generation to generation."

Gu Yanqiu continued: "A new generation replaces the old one."

Lin Yuewei said, "That's right." After taking a few steps, he was taken aback suddenly, "That sentence just now doesn't seem to be answered like that."

Gu Yanqiu was also startled: "Huh? What is the original sentence?"

Lin Yuewei: "Hahahaha."

The two of them laughed very low today, they laughed at everything they saw, they laughed all the way, and finally returned home dead of thirst, Gu Yanqiu poured two glasses of water over, and they both drank it with their heads up.

Grandma Gu opened the kitchen door and shouted angrily, "It's time to eat."

The New Year's Eve dinner began.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and the dishes in Lin Yuewei's bowl were not in the shape of a hill, so Gu Yanqiu finally asked Gu Yanqiu to help her share half of it.After the meal, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu sealed a big red envelope for her alone. Lin Yuewei refused to accept it at first, but Gu Yanqiu smiled and said, "Take it."

Lin Yuewei just accepted it.

In the evening, the whole family went to the square to watch the fireworks. After returning, Gu Yanqiu and Lin Yuewei went back to the room, while Gu Huai was called to the room of Grandpa and Grandma Gu. The expressions of the two old people looked a little dignified.

Gu Yanqiu watched her father's back disappear into the door, and closed the bedroom door with a heavy heart.

Lin Yuewei took off his coat and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yanqiu said: "It's nothing, I feel weird, I think grandpa and grandma are weird." She shook her head to herself, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

***

Looking at the serious faces of his parents, Gu Huai couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Do you want to tell me something?" He has passed the age of hearing, and he is like the pillar of the family. His parents rarely talk to him like this.

Grandpa Gu didn't get angry, but said seriously: "We came to you to ask about He Songjun."

He looked at Grandma Gu and said, "Such a big thing happened around you, why didn't I hear you say it, we didn't hear it from a friend until a long time later."

Gu Huai reassured: "Didn't my son want to keep you from worrying about this matter, and it has been resolved long ago, don't worry."

"I'm not..." Grandpa Gu hesitated to speak.

Grandma Gu tugged at Grandpa Gu's sleeve, and interjected, "Let me tell the story."

Gu Huai looked at his father and mother, a little confused: "What's the matter?"

Grandma Gu's gentle face showed a layer of sadness.

Gu Huai: "Mom?"

Grandma Gu looked at him and said, "We are the ones who are sorry for He Songjun."

Gu Huai became even more confused, and lowered his head and blamed himself: "I know, my son is sorry for her."

Grandma Gu shook her head and said, "It's not you, it's us."

Gu Huai frowned, something flashed through his mind.

Before he could react, Grandma Gu dropped a bomb: "He Songjun's child is actually the one we want to keep."

Gu Huai's mind exploded, "What did you say?"

Grandma Gu's throat was slightly choked, and she couldn't speak. Grandpa Gu took a step forward: "I'll do it."

Grandpa Gu organized his language, and said slowly: "Back then you insisted on marrying Luo Yu, we overheard your conversation, knew that she was gay, and knew that she would never have children with you, we didn't want to let The Gu family wants to keep the fetus in He Songjun's womb, and we will raise it after it is born."

Gu Huai vaguely remembered about his marriage with Shen Huaiyu. His parents were fine and satisfied in every way at first, but then they suddenly started to object, and their attitudes were repeated several times. He wondered why.

Gu Huai asked almost immediately: "Then why did you ask Shen... Yanqiu's mother to persuade him?"

Grandpa Gu said: "The identities of the two of us are not suitable. We are your parents. What's the matter with persuading an unmarried girl to have a child and not letting you marry her? We told Luo Yu about it, please She came forward, and she agreed. Originally, we wanted to take Feiquan over at the right time and let him recognize his ancestors. You and Luo Yu are divorced. It would be even better if you can get back together with He Songjun But Luo Yu is actually pregnant, and the Gu family has successors, so the matter is over."

Grandpa Gu frowned: "I know we didn't do it kindly, but there's nothing we can do about it. Now that you have Yanqiu, He Songjun's child's name is not right and wrong. To welcome you in is to the Gu family. Say, it's all a big trouble."

Gu Huai couldn't believe what he heard, and asked hoarsely, "Why didn't Yanqiu's mother tell me?"

Grandpa Gu's eyes were cloudy, he sighed lightly, and fell into memories.

He still remembered that day, when he was going to confess to Gu Huai, Gu Yanqiu's mother stopped him: "Dad, don't go."

Grandpa Gu asked, "Why?"

The woman twirled the Buddha beads with her plain hands, stared at him calmly and gently, and said softly: "The matter is irreversible, and it is all because of me. I have enough debts on my body, don't ruin you because of me anymore." The relationship between father and son."

Shen Huaiyu said: "I let her give birth to He Songjun's child. It has nothing to do with you or your mother. From now on, please forget about it."

This concealment lasted for more than 20 years.

Gu Huai's figure was unstable, he took a step backwards, his hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were red, he misunderstood Shen Huaiyu.He knew that after Shen Huaiyu made his own claim, he lost his temper at her, and later questioned her twice, but Shen Huaiyu didn't say a word.

For so many years, he didn't know that it turned out to be like this.

"You—" Gu Huai didn't know how to face the parents in front of him, he took two steps back, opened the door abruptly and went out.

Gu Yanqiu stood at the door of the open bedroom, in the warm yellow corridor lamp, looked over quietly: "Dad?"

Gu Huai turned her back and wiped away the tears on her face, opened her eyes wide, and said, "It's okay, go back to sleep."

Gu Yanqiu: "Are you crying?"

Gu Huai said, "No."

Gu Huai heard the footsteps behind him, he didn't move, let Gu Yanqiu walk in front of him, touched the corners of his wet eyes with his fingertips, then tiptoed, and gently pressed his head on his shoulder.

Although he didn't know what his father was sad about, Gu Yanqiu said softly, "Cry if you want."

Gu Huai gritted his teeth and cried bitterly.

At this moment, he is not a mature and stable father, but a husband who has misunderstood his lover for many years.
