Chapter 985: The story of the two elders of the Gao family
Gao Zheng's heart was filled with throbbing at what she said.
Waiting for you at home......
What beautiful words.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
Gao Zheng opened the closet, found a jacket, put it on, and the two of them went downstairs together.
When they arrived at the living room, Mrs. Gao was pruning a money tree she had placed in the corner.
Gao Zheng asked, "Mom, you didn't go out?"
When Mrs. Gao heard her son's voice, she looked over and saw her son and his future daughter-in-law coming downstairs together. Her face was full of smiles, "I didn't go out, why don't you sleep more?" .?
?.
The old lady originally thought that Gao Zheng was sending Tang Jingyue home, but unexpectedly, two people came down from upstairs.
Old Mrs. Gao started to think about it again.
"Mom, I didn't sleep."
Gao Zheng was afraid that Tang Jingyue would be embarrassed, so he explained, "I'm reading a book."
Mrs. Gao praised her, "She's so easy to learn."
Gao Zheng said, "Mom, I have to go to work for something. Let Jingyue stay with you for a while and come back to see her off in the evening."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gao looked tense and asked, "It's a big weekend, are you going to work again?"
As soon as her son's work unit was called, Mrs. Gao's nerves became tense.
Gao Zheng responded, "Something's wrong."
Although she was worried, Mrs. Gao could only hide her worry deep in her heart. She nodded, "Okay, go ahead and let Jingyue help me prune these flowers."
The old lady couldn't help but warn, "Xiao Zheng, you must pay attention to safety."
Gao Zheng laughed, "Mom, what's the danger if I go to a meeting?"
When Mrs. Gao heard this, her expression immediately relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone became cheerful, "A meeting?"
Gao Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I'll be back in a while."
She looked at Tang Jingyue and said, "Jingyue, I'm leaving."
"good."
Tang Jingyue walked Gao Zheng to the door. When he went out, she closed the door and came back.
Mrs. Gao watched with relief as Tang Jingyue sent Gao Zheng to work. Her wrinkled face was filled with a happy smile.
Her old son finally had someone to care for.
When she thought about how her son would be escorted when he went out and greeted when he came in, as an old mother, her heart finally settled in her belly.
She and her husband are getting old, and she doesn't know how many more years she can spend with her son. Now that her son's life-long affairs have finally been resolved, he has the woman he likes, and they are so in love that even if they close their eyes one day, she will be relieved.
"Jingyue, come on, come here quickly." Mrs. Gao greeted Tang Jingyue with a smile.
Tang Jingyue walked over and reached out to take the scissors for pruning flowers and plants from Mrs. Gao's hand, "Give me the scissors and I will help you repair them."
Mrs. Gao said happily, "Okay, Jingyue, you come and cut it."
Tang Jingyue learned flower arranging from her grandmother when she was a child, and she was quite good at trimming the flowers and plants at home.
Old Mrs. Gao looked on and nodded, "Jingyue, your haircut is so beautiful. I just cut it randomly. You see, the leaves of this money tree were all shaved off by me."
Tang Jingyue smiled and said, "I learned from my grandma before."
Old Mrs. Gao nodded, "Your grandma is a young lady from a wealthy family. She is proficient in flower arranging and tea art, as well as all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When we lived in a compound before, I often saw her doing these flowers and plants. She wanted to
Teach me, I had no interest at all at that time, but now that I have some free time, I can plant some flowers at home and it will make me feel better."
Tang Jingyue carefully cut off the dried leaves, "Yes, growing flowers at home is very pleasing to the eye and also purifies the air."
She said, "My grandma used to do it a lot, but then her legs hurt and she stopped thinking about it."
Old Mrs. Gao sat next to Tang Jingyue, watching the movements of her hands, and said with a smile, "In the past, I remember your grandma always taught us flower arrangement to a few women in the compound. Both of us are from the countryside, how can we
It's so leisurely and leisurely. Everyone is clamoring not to do it. We are suitable for menial jobs. I haven't learned how to do it until now. Look at how beautiful your haircut is."
"High breasts... Oh, no, Auntie, was your hometown also from a rural area?" Tang Jingyue asked curiously after hearing what she said.
Now that they are a family in the future, she really wants to know about the old man's previous life so that they can have topics to talk about in the future.
Old Mrs. Gao nodded, "Yes, your uncle and I are both from the countryside. Don't look at the people living in the compound now. Counting three generations up, who is not from a poor peasant background?"
"Then when did you and Uncle Gao meet?" Tang Jingyue asked with interest.
Mrs. Gao squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "We met... it must have been 50 years ago."
"Then were you in free love or introduced by a matchmaker?" Tang Jingyue simply put down the scissors, sat down, and held her chin, like a child listening to a story.
Mrs. Gao looked at Tang Jingyue and laughed, "Silly girl, there was no free love at that time, and we didn't even have enough to eat. How could we understand this? He and I had an orthodox arranged marriage, and we only met once before we got married."
"What? Got married after just one meeting?" Tang Jingyue opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Mrs. Gao.
Is this love at first sight or something?
Meet one
Get married in person?
Old Mrs. Gao patted her thigh with a look of rejoicing, "Yeah, luckily he's a pretty good person, otherwise, if you said you don't understand anything after meeting him, it's just like gambling. I'm going to meet someone unreliable.
How can I live such a happy life now?"
Tang Jingyue became even more curious after hearing this, and looked at Old Mrs. Gao with bright eyes, "Tell me the story between you and Uncle Gao."
Mrs. Gao looked at her and smiled fondly, "Why do you, girl, suddenly care about our story?"
Tang Jingyue replied sincerely, "When you said you got married after only meeting once, I was very curious."
Mrs. Gao smiled and fell into the long memories, "That was more than fifty years ago."
"I remember that there was a war at that time, and the Japanese came to raid every now and then. My family was too poor to take the blame, and all the strong laborers in the village were taken away to serve as soldiers. Our family was spared because my father was injured in the leg and could not contribute.
I have a lot of children in my family, and I am the eldest. I was quite pretty at that time, and my face was pretty. Once I went to the market, and I was spotted by a traitor on the road, who followed me for a long time. After returning home, I
After I told my parents, they were frightened, fearing that I would be targeted and arrested by the Japanese and traitors. They hid me in the house and never let me go out. I wore my mother's clothes all day long, with unkempt hair and a dirty face.
I deliberately wiped it dirty and worked at home all day long, doing needlework.
For more than two years, I never left the village, and I was not allowed to go to the town market. Finally, the Japanese were beaten away. When I was twenty years old, a coworker of my father’s who worked with me came to our house.
There was also a handsome young man wearing a military uniform. When they came in, I saw that he was a soldier, and I was very nervous, but his military uniform was different from the Japanese soldiers in the past. My hair was as messy as a chicken coop.
When that young man in military uniform looked at me, I was so frightened that I quickly got into the woodshed."
