C1569 Return to Normal
Late at night, Hai Zhu snuggled into my arms and fell asleep, but I was not sleepy, staring at the dark ceiling in a daze.
It was as though the storm that had been brewing for so long was finally over. It was as though everything had returned to normal.
At the same time, I knew that my marriage with Hai Zhu had also officially begun.
Marriage, what was marriage? Was it just living? I kept asking myself, my mind in a whirl of confusion and frustration.
After a long time, I finally fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, the sun had already risen and was shining through the windows.
A new day had begun.
Hai Zhu was not by my side. I could hear her laughing with my mother in the kitchen. She was up early, helping my mother make breakfast.
I sat up, leaned against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly, my mind racing over what had happened since the wedding day.
It was like a dream. At this moment, I still hadn't woken up from my dream.
At this moment, my cell phone rang. I saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
I answered, "Hello?"
There was no sound on the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" I said again.
There was a moment of silence, followed by a sneer.
It was Dong Xue's laughter.
"Dong Xue, it's you." I hesitated.
"That's right, it's me. Are you surprised? " Dong Xue said, her voice light.
I smiled. "I'm not surprised, but why are you laughing like that?"
"How could I laugh? What kind of laugh do you want me to laugh about? " Dong Xue said stubbornly.
I laughed dryly and was speechless for a moment.
"How is it? It's good to be home, isn't it? " Dong Xue said.
I didn't know if Dong Xue meant me or Hai Zhu when she said, "I'm at my parents' home right now. Also, Hai Zhu had returned. I came back yesterday. "
"Even if you didn't say it, I already know. You don't have to report to me in such detail!" Dong Xue's tone was cold.
I suddenly felt a little awkward. "Where are you right now? Did you go home for the new year? How are you doing? "
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Dong Xue said.
I laughed again.
"Hmph, you're back. Did you enjoy yesterday's wedding ceremony?" Dong Xue said.
"This —" I felt more and more embarrassed.
"I didn't expect that stupid woman Hai Zhu to become smart and actually really come back. To think that none of her paths have gone dark." Dong Xue sounded like she was talking to me, but also like she was talking to herself. It was as if she thought that Hai Zhu would not let this matter go so easily.
I smiled bitterly.
"It seems like she still has some idea in her heart. In the end, she still obediently came back." Dong Xue said, "But, so what? She would laugh at me, of course, I knew it. Hmph, it seems that she is still a little too happy. Stupid woman is still a stupid woman. A moment of intelligence is unable to change the essence of her heart. Sooner or later, I will see that she is still not laughing at the end. "
"Dong Xue, what's the point of doing this? Do you think there's any point in continuing this way?" "No," I said.
"Interesting! I don't need you to say it, but I do. This is a matter between her and me, so don't worry about it!" Dong Xue said stiffly, "The good show is yet to come. Let's just wait and see."
After that, Dong Xue hung up the phone.
I held the phone in a daze, vaguely unsettled.
Right at that moment, Hai Zhu pushed open the door and walked in.
Hai Zhu's expression looked much better. With a smile, she said, "Bro, you're awake."
I nodded and put the phone down. "Yeah," I said.
"I heard your voice in the yard. So you were talking on the phone. "Hehe." Hai Zhu smiled and said, "Mom and I have finished preparing breakfast. Let's get up and wash up. It's time for breakfast."
I nodded and began to dress.
Hai Zhu picked up my cell phone, looked at it, and pressed a button.
I knew Hai Zhu was looking at the number that I had just called, and I couldn't help feeling scared. Luckily, Dong Xue was using an unfamiliar number, otherwise, Hai Zhu would have been afraid and would have suspected something.
Hai Zhu looked at her cell phone number, of course, because she hadn't heard what I was saying when I answered the phone. She didn't know who I was talking to.
Hai Zhu put down her cell phone and asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"
"A colleague from the unit urged me to go back to work." I said as if nothing had happened, but I was actually feeling a little diffident in my heart.
"Are they male or female colleagues?" Hai Zhu said half-jokingly.
"Male." "No," I said.
"Even if it's a girl, I won't do anything to her?" Hai Zhu continued to laugh.
I put on my clothes and looked at Hai Zhu. "Zhu, I need to tell you something. You might not know about it, but my job has changed recently."
Hai Zhu said, "You don't need to say anymore. I already knew that. I knew that you were transferred to the living quarters."
So Hai Zhu already knew, I guess she found out through Cao Lee.
Hai Zhu pursed her lips, "Even though we are not together, I have been paying attention to your every movement. I actually know why you changed your job. "
I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Actually, I really hope that you can use this opportunity to be demoted to simply resign and leave the government, but I also know your character, you won't be defeated at a low point in your career, this isn't your style of doing things, you might be able to become famous quickly, but you definitely won't admit defeat when you encounter setbacks, so I didn't mention your job in front of you, and instead, asked you to resign." Hai Zhu said again.
I sighed. Hai Zhu was right, but she wasn't completely right. She wouldn't know what I was really thinking no matter what. She wasn't the only one who didn't know. Maybe no one else apart from Qiu Tong would know. In this world, the only woman who can truly understand me is Qiu Tong.
Hai Zhu said, "The government is too complicated and sinister. I really don't want you to stay in the government, but since you are determined to continue, I won't stop you. I just hope that you can keep a calm mind.I want to say that actually, the gains and losses in the government don't have to be that great.
We have our own company, we have our own struggle, we have a way out, so don't be too serious, don't force yourself, don't put too much pressure on yourself. "I don't want to be a lady. It's the same for me no matter how big or small you are. All I need to know is that you are my husband and my man."
I couldn't help but nod my head and smile.
Hai Zhu added: "As a government official, my feeling is that I need to be more talkative and more careful in what I do. In front of others, the only reason you can blabber on like you are showing off your true self is actually because your naked fruit body is being exposed to others. "
Hai Zhu's words made sense. Her thoughts were indeed more mature than before. I felt a bit of comfort in my heart and said to Hai Zhu, "Yes. "Come, let's go. I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth."
We left the room.
After washing up, the family had breakfast together.
"Ke, how many days are you planning to stay at home?" Mom asked me at dinner.
I looked up and was about to answer when Hai Zhu said, "Mom, your brother's office just called to urge him to go back to work."
"Oh. "That's right." Mom looked disappointed and worried. She looked at me and then at Hai Zhu.
At this time, his father said, "The matter of the Gong family cannot be delayed, let it be work first."
Hai Zhu smiled, looked at her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't hold Ke back."
His parents laughed, but his mother still felt a little regretful, and said: "If only Ke could be transferred to Ningzhou to work, then he would be able to be with Zhu everyday. You just got married and you're separated, alas. "
Mom sighed.
Dad said: "This system of mobility, across provinces, difficult, not so simple!"
Hai Zhu said, "Dad, mom, don't worry about it anymore. It will be solved sooner or later. No matter how hard it is to arrange an official position, there is still a way. Right now, we just need someone to have money. We don't have anyone, but we don't lack money. As long as we can find a suitable person, we will have the opportunity and the solution. "Let's wait for an opportunity."
His parents laughed, and his mother seemed to feel some comfort from Hai Zhu's words.
Hai Zhu continued to look at me and said, "Bro, how about this. You can go back to work tomorrow. I'll get Yaru to buy you a plane ticket for tomorrow."
I nodded. Somehow, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.
His mother said, "Ke will leave tomorrow. Zhu, I'll have to trouble you to stay alone in your room."
Hai Zhu laughed. "Mom, it's okay. Communication is so developed now. Brother Ke and I will be in touch at any time. It's very convenient for Brother Ke to come back, and it's also very convenient for me to travel and buy a plane ticket."
Mother laughed again. "Zhu, you are such a considerate wife. For our family's Ke to be able to marry you, it must have been ancestors that had burnt incense. "
Hai Zhu smiled happily. "Dad, mom, it's also my, Zhu's, fortune to be able to have in-laws like you all."
Hearing Hai Zhu's words, his parents also laughed happily. While laughing, his mother's eyes turned a little red.
I felt a little sad again.
Mom continued, "Ke, Zhu, you guys... When are you going to have children? We're all looking forward to having a grandson. When the baby is born, you don't have to worry, we'll watch it for you. "
Hai Zhu's face reddened slightly. She looked at me, then looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I want to wait for my peace and quiet for a while. Right now, I'm very busy at work, and my company has a lot of work to do as well. They've started a few new businesses and can't leave me for a while, so we'll have to wait and ask for more."
"Oh." Mom looked slightly disappointed.
Hai Zhu continued to say, "Mom, don't worry. Once I settle down with brother, and when I'm done, we'll definitely let you carry our grandson."
Mom giggled.
Dad said to his mother: "The children are more focused on their career, this is not wrong, you do not pressure the child, what always urge, the children all know."
Mom laughed again, then lowered her head to eat.
I looked at Hai Zhu. "Zhu, what business do you plan to start recently?"
"I plan to focus on overseas business and expand the Korean market in the first quarter," said Wu.
"Oh." I nodded, thinking of Kong Kun, who was doing a business in China's tourism market in Korea.1
At this time, his mother said to his father, "Old Yi, look, we have a daughter-in-law who can make money doing business."
His father chuckled and nodded, "Yes, I can't believe that Zhu is so smart when it comes to doing business. She isn't any worse than Ke in the past."
Hai Zhu smiled happily and said, "Mom and Dad, Brother Ke was the one who taught me the way I do business. Without him teaching me personally, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Hearing Hai Zhu's words, his parents laughed even more happily. His father said: "You two just need to help each other and love each other, and we still have a long time to live together. Ke, you have to treat Zhu well, don't bully Zhu, otherwise, I won't be able to take care of you."
