After Gu Chen returned home, the Gu family had already finished eating and cleared the table.
When she saw her son coming back, Li Jinhua said: "You kid, you didn't even say a word when you got home, you just went to the collective household."
"Have you forgotten your mother when you have a daughter-in-law?"
Even though she said this, she still had a smile on her face. She was most happy that her son could find a partner. Remembering that she was worried about the partner before, she should not arrange a blind date for the widow.
She was not willing to do that. After all, Gu Chen was still unmarried, so how could he find a widow.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "What? If you forget, you can't forget your mother."
"By the way." He remembered something and continued: "I happened to go to my uncle's place on this business trip. He said he wanted me to work there, so the job was given to my eldest brother."
Li Jinhua was a little surprised when he heard him mention his younger brother Li Jinyuan.
"Your uncle hasn't contacted me for a long time, but it would be better if he could go to the city to work, and he would be promising in the future." She nodded, thinking this was a good thing.
Gu Chen understood what she meant, "Mom, I want to find a relationship to let Shen Man go to the city with me."
After his uncle told him about this, he began to think about it. After all, it wouldn't be good for the two of them to be separated forever.
What's more, those people in the collective household are not fuel-efficient lamps, and he is afraid that the little girl will not be able to cope with it.
Upon hearing this, Li Jinhua stared at him, "What do you think? What will you do in the future if she returns to the city?"
"I absolutely cannot agree to this. Unless you two get married, I will allow you to take her into the city."
It's not that she is stingy, Shen Man himself is an educated youth going to the countryside. Which of these educated youths doesn't want to return to the city?
In order to return to the city, he would do anything possible and do any crazy thing.
If they really go back to the city, how can they remember the people who helped them? Then they have to cut off the relationship immediately, and no one will know each other.
Seeing what she said, Gu Chen patiently explained: "I don't think Shen Man is that kind of person. Besides, she doesn't know if I can get her back to the city even if she is with me."
"These are two different things!" Li Jinhua interrupted him, "If only it were that simple. Shen Man is only nineteen, can she understand how much you paid for her to return to the city?"
Having said this, Gu Dacheng on the side couldn't help but nod: "Your mother is right, you two have just been together for a short time, and it will definitely not be finalized. Let's wait for a year. For you young people, one year will pass. Very quickly.”
Even if the Gu family thinks highly of Shen Man, they should think about it in the future. People are so far apart from each other, how do they know if Shen Man will return to the city and kick Gu Chen.
Then there would be no place for them to cry, not to mention that Gu Chen liked this girl so much that it would be more uncomfortable for Gu Chen than anyone else if he really kicked her.
Gu Chen didn't mention this matter again. He went back to the house to clean up and go to bed.
After they finished speaking, Gu Nan said: "Mom, Sister Man is not that kind of person. Look at how good she is to our family. We are also from rural areas, so what should we do with her?"
At this time, she was not only speaking for Shen Man, but also felt that her second brother would definitely marry Shen Man in the future.
Hearing this, Li Jinhua glared at her, "What do you know? If we've been with each other for two or three years, I definitely don't care. We've only been together for a month or two. To put it bluntly, your second brother's heart is with this person. He's with me." How much of my heart is your second brother?"
As a mother, she cannot let her son suffer a big loss.
She never cared about the things she bought. After all, Shen Man was indeed a good boy.
Li Jinhua didn't even say a word to persuade her about the clothes she usually bought.
But returning to the city is different. Once a person goes back, he may never come back again.
It would be fine if I could live a good life with my son, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Gu Nan curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "How do you know that people don't have my second brother in their hearts? Anyway, I don't think Sister Man is that kind of person."
"Yes, yes, you should go to sleep quickly. Children should stay away from adults' affairs." Li Jinhua waved her hand and told her to stay cool.
However, this incident still kept her awake all night. She was thinking about Shen Man's kindness, but she was also afraid that he would kick Gu Chen when he came back to the city, not to mention getting too entangled.
The next morning, Gu Chen left in a hurry after finishing his meal.
Seeing this, Li Jinhua couldn't help but have a headache, "This kid has no depth at all, why can't he be so calm?"
Needless to say, I must go to Shen Man.
This made her angry and helpless.
"Don't worry about it, do whatever you want." Gu Dacheng took a bite of the big pancake and felt that they couldn't control this matter at all.
If I could really take care of it, it wouldn't be like this now.
Gu Chen came to the collective household and saw a pretty figure carrying water back to the house.
He took three steps and two steps at a time, and went up to take the other's bucket.
When Shen Man saw him suddenly appearing, he smiled and said, "So early? Have you eaten yet?"
She helped open the door and the two of them entered the house one after another.
Putting the bucket on the ground, Gu Chen replied, "I just finished eating. You haven't eaten yet?"
Seeing that the stove has just been lit, it is obvious that no cooking has been done yet.
Shen Man originally planned to eat some bread and milk to deal with the problem, but now he can't. These things are not something that should appear in rural areas.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'll just cook some noodles later." She replied, then sat next to him.
Seeing the worried look on the face of the person opposite, someone asked: "What's the matter with you? Why do you have such an expression?"
"What expression?" Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then touched his face, confused.
Shen Man smiled and said, "What's going on?"
This man is really strange, something doesn't look right.
Gu Chen pursed his lips, thought for a while and put what he said last night behind.
"I went to my uncle on a business trip this time. He plans to let me work in the city. I think..."
He looked up at the girl in front of him and said: "I want to take you to the city with me. I will help you with the matter of returning to the city. I don't know if you can go back then."
This kind of thing has not been done yet, who knows whether it will be done.
And this is just his own idea. For details, he needs to go to the city first and then inquire about it.
Upon hearing this, Shen Man was stunned. Return to the city?
She blinked and said, "Is it that easy to go back to the city?"
In recent years, except for those who are really seriously ill or are lucky, returning to the city is basically a dream.
Some cadre families and the children of big leaders are not allowed to return to the city.
Because the reason is very complicated, not that simple.
Gu Chen also smiled, "I don't know the specific situation yet, so I want to ask you what you mean first."
"I haven't thought about it either." Shen Man really didn't think about returning to the city early.
Moreover, the two of them are not married yet. Is it really okay to go back to the city together like this?
She looked at Gu Chen with hesitation in her eyes, and her mood was very complicated.
Gu Chen saw that she was a little at a loss and said, "Think about it for a moment. This matter is not urgent. My uncle will probably not be able to arrange a job for me until next month."
