Chapter 426: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5
In order to prevent Gu Li from losing weight secretly, Huang Haiyang opened a milk tea shop and a dessert shop opposite the gate of the electronics city, and would deliver food to Gu Li whenever he had nothing to do.
This made Gu Li's boss speechless. He thought that this girl couldn't be the daughter of a rich man who came here to experience life.
The salary he pays is probably not enough for this lady's daily food and drink.
Gu Li also discovered this problem.
She accepted Huang Haiyang as a person and of course did not want to refuse his feeding, but Gu Li, who grew up under the stingy education of Comrade Zhang Yuhua, did not want to do this losing business.
Gu Li simply quit her part-time job at the electronics mall and worked with Huang Haiyang to manage the three stores that Huang had set up.
Second sister Gu Gui's wedding was in early June, so Gu Li couldn't go back, but she sent a bright red dress and a red cheongsam with lace, along with a big red envelope.
Comrade Zhang Yuhua, who received the package, pinched her cheongsam, which was split almost to the waist, and cursed, "What was Lao San thinking, letting you wear this thing made of two pieces of cloth? How are you going to go out and meet people?"
Gu Gui carefully opened her mother's calloused hands and said, "Mom, this is real silk. It's very expensive. I won't let you touch it and pull out the silk."
"How much can two pieces of cloth cost?"
Gu Gui admired the cheongsam in her hand and said proudly, "It may be about the same price as the gold ring on your hand!"
"What!" Comrade Zhang Yuhua was furious. No wonder it felt so smooth to the touch. These silk threads were all made of money.
"What kind of taste does that damn girl have? With so much money, why buy something else but this unwearable skirt? Really, she finally earned some money and spent it on this!"
Gu Gui felt a little embarrassed to receive such a nice gift from her sister. "I don't know if the part-time job my sister found there is hard or not. She must have spent all the money she earned. When I get married and have a gift, I will send her some living expenses."
Comrade Zhang Yuhua calmed down a little, took Gu Gui's hand, and patted it again and again, "Your third sister seems to be careless and has no conscience, but she actually knows everything in her heart. She remembers who treats her well. She is paying you back for the new clothes you bought her with your private money."
"Mom, I know. I only have one sister, and I am willing to be nice to her, but I don't expect her to return the favor!"
Comrade Zhang Yuhua smiled with satisfaction.
The package that Gu Li sent back was not only a wedding gift for Gu Gui, but also a birthday red envelope for her eldest sister's almost five-year-old niece.
It's considered a fair fight.
People have different goals at different stages. In the first half of his life, Comrade Zhang Yuhua always thought about making money, saving money, and making money. He wished that six out of the five members of his family could make money outside.
But now that the family suddenly has no financial burden, she began to think about her children getting together, helping each other, and preferably staying closer to home.
If you want to see him, just stretch your legs and you will see him.
Obviously, Comrade Zhang Yuhua's second request is a bit difficult to achieve.
My younger daughter, who was studying in another province, only came back once to celebrate the Spring Festival during the first semester of her freshman year, and has not returned for the next three years.
She started a business.
It started out as a restaurant and a dessert shop and gradually developed into a food and snack street.
Gu Li was busy and having a lot of fun.
On the eve of graduation, Huang Haiyang pushed open the door of Gu Li's office and sat on the sofa for a long time in a depressed mood. He did not come up to touch Gu Li or hug her as usual.
Gu Li put down the bill in her hand, picked up a cup of brown sugar ginger tea and moved closer to his arms.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Huang Haiyang naturally put his arms around Gu Li's waist, put his big hand into the hem of Gu Li's clothes, and skillfully covered her lower abdomen.
"Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Gu Li took a sip of ginger tea. "Do you have something to tell me?"
"My grandfather is not in good health, so I may have to go back for a while." Huang Haiyang said, looking down at the person in his arms, and added, "But I will be back soon."
Gu Li looked at him quietly without saying anything.
"I will definitely be back soon and won't keep you waiting for long." He knew Gu Li. She had little patience and didn't like waiting for people.
Gu Li put down the water cup, put her arms around the man, and gently leaned on his already broad chest, "Your family wants you to go back and inherit the family business, right?"
On Xuefu Road's restaurant street, only the first few stores were funded by Huang Haiyang, and the rest were all Gu Li's businesses.
His focus has never been here.
He said he just wanted to be with her as much as possible in those final relaxing moments, and he said his focus was on her from beginning to end.
Feeling the warmth coming from her abdomen, Gu Li said in a relaxed tone: "I don't like waiting, I'll go back with you!"
Huang Haiyang's breathing stagnated after hearing the first half of the sentence, but the second half made him happy and surprised.
"Will you come back with me?"
"Wouldn't you like to take me back?"
"Of course I do. You know, I've always wanted to take you back to see my parents and grandpa." Huang Haiyang said excitedly, hugging the person tightly in his arms. His chest heaved violently, and something was about to burst out.
In the past few years, he has proposed more than once to bring Gu Li home to meet his parents, but Gu Li always refused for various reasons.
He knew that Gu Li would not love her as much as he did, but he did not mind. His love for her was overflowing, and he could share a lot with her.
It didn't matter if she didn't want to go back with him, he could wait. As long as he stayed by her side, he would wait until that day came.
But when his grandmother passed away, he wanted her to accompany him back to Shanghai, but Gu Li refused. Huang Haiyang returned to Shanghai alone. He did not contact her, and the conscienceless Gu Li did not take the initiative to contact him.
The inexplicable cold war scared Huang Haiyang so much that he almost thought Gu Li really didn't want him anymore.
Since then, Huang Haiyang never mentioned letting Gu Li go home with him again.
Unexpectedly, this time happiness came so suddenly, Gu Li suddenly said that she wanted to go back with him.
"You don't care about what's going on here?"
Nowadays, all the affairs of the food street are managed by Gu Li, and Huang Haiyang knows how much she values this.
It was so serious that she hadn't been home for more than three years.
"The world will continue to turn without anyone, but if I have a choice, I will of course choose what is more important to me."
Gu Li's nonchalant response made the man holding her feel excited.
He was afraid that someone with a cold personality would say sweet words, which almost caused him to drown.
Gu Li pinched his red and hot earlobe. She liked to pinch the soft flesh here and had a lot of fun. "When you book the plane ticket, remember to tell me in advance. I need to arrange the handover here early."
Gu Li certainly knew that Huang Haiyang wanted to meet his parents and establish their relationship.
But the gap between them made her feel that the time had not come yet.
When Huang Haiyang's grandmother passed away, it was the most critical moment for her bidding for the food street project. For the long-term plans of both of them, she chose to stay.
She went to the Huang family's funeral, but the Huang family didn't pay any attention to her.
She believes that what she has made is the best choice.
Even if Huang Haiyang wanted to part ways with her because of this incident, she still had her career and would not be left with nothing.
Sometimes, Gu Li felt that she was too rational.
But she doesn't think she's wrong.
Without what she has now, even if Huang Haiyang took her back to meet his parents, she would not be able to stand straight with Huang Haiyang in front of the Huang family.
