Chapter 29: Overcoming the Hurdle

Jiang Mingyue went back to the room, took out a small bamboo box from the closet, opened the box with the key, and saw the good money stacked inside.

She earned these from selling food in the town during this period.

Excluding the capital, I earned more than 600 yuan in half a month.

I bought a tricycle the day before yesterday, replaced the tires, and bought some other odds and ends for 120 yuan.

Now there are still five hundred.

She took out two hundred yuan and planned to give it to Gu Dongqing later as payment for the days he helped harvest rice.

In the kitchen.

Gu Dongqing finished the noodles quickly.

He burped contentedly and felt alive.

Of course, just surviving is not enough. There is still a tough battle to fight next.

Gu Dongqing stood up and took the bowl to wash at the well outside. He took a sip and washed his hands.

He took another two handfuls of water and rubbed his face to try to calm down as much as possible.

Jiang Mingyue came out with the money and saw Gu Dongqing fixing her tricycle again. She stepped forward and said, “Comrade Gu, I have something to give you.”

“Huh?”

Gu Dongqing raised his head, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but When he met Jiang Mingyue’s calm expression, the joy disappeared from his eyes.

You want to give me money? How much are you going to give me?

The man turned around, tightened the screws of the tricycle, and asked in a calm tone.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t expect that he could guess it.

Comrade Gu, you have helped our family a lot. I don’t know how much money I should give you.”

“Ha”

Gu Dongqing put down the things in his hands and stood up, with a cold smile on his lips, “I heard that you have been Doing business in town.”

“Yes, selling some food over at Wuyi Road.”

Gu Dongqing’s tone suddenly became serious. He was so serious when he called her name.

“What?” Jiang Mingyue was startled and looked up at the man in front of her in astonishment.

That innocent look in his eyes made Gu Dongqing angry and funny.

Thinking of the torture he had endured for more than half a month, he pursed his lips and said softly, “You are great. Whether it is your family or your business, you can take good care of it.”

“Ah?”

He came here specifically to praise her. ?

Jiang Mingyue blinked in confusion, waiting for Gu Dongqing’s next words.

A smile appeared on Gu Dongqing’s face, “Jiang Mingyue, you will not be a burden to anyone.”

“Neither will the child in your belly.”

After saying this, Gu Dongqing bent down slightly and reached out to hold Jiang Mingyue’s hand. Shoulder, his words were extremely pious, “So Jiang Mingyue, would you like to show kindness?”

Show kindness and agree to date him.

You will not be a burden to me, and neither will the child. You will only help me and give me the home I have always wanted.”

Gu Dongqing’s voice rang in his ears.

Jiang Mingyue froze, looking up at the man close at hand.

“You”

Why hasn’t he given up yet?

She was thinking about rejecting him again, but when she saw the red bloodshot eyes and his obviously thinner cheeks, she couldn’t say the words that came to her lips.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground.

After Gu Dongqing finished saying these words, he waited for Jiang Mingyue’s reaction. He had already thought about it when he came, and no matter how much she refused, he would never give up.

It’s just that her reaction now was something Gu Dongqing really didn’t expect.

He also lowered his eyes and looked at her with a somewhat urgent look.

Comrade Jiang Mingyue

Then you will suffer and be tired in the future, so don’t complain.” Jiang Mingyue raised her head and her eyes were sincere.

Gu Dongqing didn’t react for a while.

It wasn’t that he was slow, but Jiang Mingyue’s answer was unexpected.

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Mingyue rarely saw Gu Dongqing’s stupid look. Seeing him now, she felt it was really new.

A bearded man with a childlike look of surprise is really novel.

Jiang Mingyue smiled first.

The beautiful eyes are filled with broken stars, and there are shallow pear dimples looming at the corners of the slightly raised lips.

Gu Dongqing’s heartbeat slowed down a beat.

It took him a while to react.

She hugged him excitedly, “No, absolutely not! I promise you”

“Don’t swear.”

There was no need to swear, she was willing to believe him.

A man who has lived for twenty-eight years really feels at this moment, the feeling of wanting to tell the world that he has a partner.

“Ming”

“Second sister!”

The sudden interruption of Gu Dongqing’s words also opened the distance between Jiang Mingyue and him.

Jiang Mingyue stepped away with a reddish complexion. As soon as she stood up, Jiang Manyue ran in from outside.

The food at home has been good in the past half month, Jiang Manyue has also gained some weight, and his cheeks are not so thin.

Seeing the changed Gu Dongqing in the yard, Jiang Manyue didn’t dare to recognize him.

However, the old lady who came in a little later recognized her immediately.

“Xiao Gu is here.”

“Grandma.”

Gu Dongqing greeted politely.

The old man’s eyesight was not very good, but he still had a good eye for seeing people. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the atmosphere between his granddaughter and Gu Dongqing.

She coughed and said, “Xiao Gu, please stay and eat. Manyue will call your grandpa back.”

The old lady said and went to the backyard to catch chickens.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t stop him either.

“Do you want to take a rest?” She looked at Gu Dongqing and asked.

Gu Dongqing shook his head, “I’m going to help grandma.”

Then you go and wash up first. I’ll ask grandma to find grandpa’s clean clothes for you to change and shave?”

Since Jiang Mingyue accepted the other party as a partner, she naturally He cared about me as if he were a member of the family.

Gu Dongqing’s heart felt warm.

Fortunately he didn’t give up.

“This is for you.”

Before going to wash up, he took out a small box from his pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Mingyue’s hand. She opened it and saw that it was a gold necklace.

This thing is too valuable and Jiang Mingyue cannot accept it.

“Gu…” As soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, he was stopped by the other party, “I am your partner, don’t reject me.”

More than half a month ago, on the night when he was rejected for the second time, Gu Dongqing had been stubborn and felt that it didn’t matter if he let go.

He returned to the town, went to the county seat early the next morning, and went out with the car to carry goods.

This journey lasted for half a month.

Originally, Gu Dongqing thought that half a month would be enough to dilute his feelings.

But he never thought that as time went by, not only did he not forget Jiang Mingyue, but her impression in his heart became clearer and clearer.

On the way back a few days ago, I chatted for a while with my brother who was selling goods with me.

The other person said something right. If you can’t let go, then keep working hard.

Until the other party accepts you.

Moreover, Jiang Mingyue rejected him because she was pregnant, not because she disliked him, which meant that he actually had a good chance.

As long as Jiang Mingyue can overcome the hurdle in her heart, it will be fine.

Now it turns out that she has passed that hurdle.

Jiang Mingyue also took off the chain.

Gu Dongqing simply took a shower and changed into the old man’s clothes.

The coarse cloth clothes were very loose when worn by Grandpa, but when Gu Dongqing put them on, they seemed a bit narrow.

Parts of his wrists and ankles were exposed.

It looks a little funny.

He didn’t care about it himself. After cleaning up, he helped with the work, not to mention how diligent he was.

Moreover, his diligence is not just pretending, but he really has a job in his eyes.
