Li Wenjun said helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. If you sleep at home every day and suddenly run to the school office, others will think that I did something to you."
When Gu Zhanyan saw Li Wenjun coming to pull her, she quickly stood up, avoided Li Wenjun and went in.
On the wedding day, Li Wenjun built a simple bed using benches and wooden boards against the wall.
Gu Zhanyan knew that he disliked her, but she didn't know that he disliked her so much. Without saying anything, she claimed the simple bed next to the wall.
Li Wenjun didn't bother to explain. Anyway, the bed turned out to be a wooden frame covered with wooden boards. It wasn't much different, so he slept on the master bed without a care in the world.
At this moment, Gu Zhanyan found that the simple bed and the quilt on the bed were opposite, and he was a little confused.
Li Wenjun explained: "Summer is here, there are many mosquitoes, and the simple bed cannot support a mosquito net. You can bring some to sleep on the big bed."
Gu Zhanyan was silent: It turned out that he felt sorry for his daughter. She still had some conscience.
She lay down stiffly on the bed.
Li Wenjun sat down at the desk by the window again and continued playing with his things.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze blew in through the window.
Li Wenjun moved very gently, for fear of waking Gu Zhanyan.
But Gu Zhanyan was too nervous to sleep.
She was not afraid of what Li Wenjun would do to her. She and Li Wenjun had slept in the same room for nearly 700 days, and Li Wenjun had never tried to live as a couple with her. Diandian was the seed that was sown the night the two of them got drunk for the first time.
She was just nervous about being in the same room with Li Wenjun who was awake.
It's like a stranger is sitting next to you.
During the day, she only had two hours at noon where she could not be someone's mother or someone's wife, just to be quiet and take a breather.
As a result, everything was messed up today.
Gu Zhanyan was a little irritable, turned over, opened his eyes, and happened to see Li Wenjun's focused profile.
He has a short head, a sculpture-like profile, and his eyebrows appear clearer and cleaner under the strong light.
Li Wenjun felt her gaze, turned to look at her, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Did I disturb you?"
He was so gentle that it made her heart tremble. It was like the calm before the storm.
Gu Zhanyan stared at him: "You don't have to be like this. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I know you don't like me. You only married me because of your sense of responsibility. You just don't want to be poked in the back, and you don't want to be fired."
Li Wenjun was not angry, but smiled, as if the sunlight outside the window fell on his face.
Gu Zhanyan, who was usually as calm as a Buddha, became a little annoyed. He blushed and sat up: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Wenjun shook his head, stopped laughing, and turned back to study his things: "It's nothing, I'm just happy. You are willing to talk to me so much, and our relationship has taken a big step forward."
Is this emotional intelligence and this attitude of speaking really Li Wenjun?
Or is he teasing her again?
Gu Zhanyan took a deep breath and asked calmly: "When did you start caring about our relationship?"
Li Wenjun looked at her steadily: "I have always cared about her. But there were some things that I didn't understand before. We are people who want to spend a lifetime together, and the relationship between us is very important to me."
Spend a lifetime together?
Gu Zhanyan lowered his eyes.
Whether he told the truth or lies didn't matter to her, because she never thought about spending the rest of her life with him.
From the day she arrived in this ravine, she had only one thought in her mind: to survive until the day she could return to the city and leave here.
Even if she gets married to Li Wenjun, her goal only has one more note: bring some.
There was no place for Li Wenjun in her future life.
The broadcast of "The East is Red" rang outside. It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
This is a common rule in the mining area. At 7 o'clock in the morning, exciting music is played, and at noon, "The East is Red" is played to wake everyone up and go to work.
The workers came out of the bungalows one after another and walked to their respective workshops.
Gu Zhanyan stood up, freshened up and went out.
Li Wenjun sat without moving.
Gu Zhanyan didn't care about him.
Anyway, he has always been like this. He spends three days at work fishing and two days drying nets.
When it was getting dark, Li Wenjun packed the boxes nailed with wooden boards and exhaled: "It's done."
There are two small long boxes in front of me.
This is the simplest handheld simplex radio.
A tool that allows you to make remote calls without using the Internet or phone lines.
All the electronic components in this walkie-talkie were brought from that old radio and workshop.
It is equipped with AA batteries, which is a bit heavy.
The signal is not very strong either.
However, in this era there were no mobile phone signals or radio signals at all, so there was basically no interference.
I'll have a chance to see if they work tonight.
Look outside, it's getting late.
Why hasn’t Gu Zhanyan come back from Diandian?
The more Li Wenjun thought about it, the more panicked he became. He tidied up his desk and ran all the way to the kindergarten.
Sure enough, only Diandian was left in the kindergarten, standing with his hands on the guardrail, looking eagerly outside.
The kindergarten teacher was originally very unhappy and thought he would talk to Gu Zhanyan nicely when she came. But when he saw that the person who came was Li Wenjun, his anger subsided.
Li Wenjun hurriedly stepped forward with an apology on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm late. I delayed your get off work."
The kindergarten teacher had never seen Li Wenjun be so kind to others, and he was very happy: "It's okay, it's just that the child is waiting for you all the time, which is very pitiful."
Li Wenjun held Dian Dian in one hand and picked up the bag containing a change of clothes in the other. He nodded to the teacher: "I won't delay you anymore."
When Li Wenjun turned around, Diandian burst into tears.
Li Wenjun felt a little sad. He sat down on the roadside, put down his things, patted her back gently, and asked, "Are you scared?"
The child nodded and pursed his lips, but tears still fell silently in clusters.
Li Wenjun added: "Dian Dian is afraid that your parents won't want you anymore."
Diandian sobbed and nodded again.
At that time, Li Wenjun felt that Gu Zhanyan was a woman who could do anything for her husband, and he suspected that Diandian was not his kind at all, so sometimes he would talk nonsense when he was drunk, saying that he wanted to send Diandian away.
I thought my child wouldn't understand it at a young age.
It turned out that she knew everything, but she just couldn't express it.
God knows that those unintentional words of his have caused multiple psychological shadows on the children. He is really the worst father in the world.
Li Wenjun's eyes turned red with guilt; "Dad was wrong. Dad is a bad guy and shouldn't have said those words. Dad will never say those words again."
Diandian finally stopped crying and looked at Li Wenjun seriously.
Li Wenjun said: "Dian Dian, no matter when the time comes, dad and mom will never let you go. You are dad's most important treasure. No matter what happens, dad will definitely come to pick you up, you know? Let's hook up."
Dotandian nodded in understanding, sobbed and stretched out her thin, white and tender hands to tightly grasp Li Wenjun's little finger, as if she had grasped an important promise, and also as if she had grasped a life-saving rope.
