Chapter 58 Gu Ye’s Sister
Both of them had classes in the morning. When other teachers came to the office, Shen Zhiyu immediately stopped talking and accompanied Liu Lihua to wash their faces before going to class. She had planned to find an opportunity to comfort Liu Lihua during the break, saying that Zheng Battalion Commander was a good person, and it was obvious that they both liked each other, so it would be such a pity if they got divorced. But she didn’t have a chance to talk to Liu Lihua about it until school was over. There was a lot of rain here. It rained again when school was over in the afternoon. Gu Ye came to pick her up. Today, Zheng Battalion Commander was with him.
Because of what happened during the day, Liu Lihua looked at Zheng Battalion Commander unnaturally, deliberately acting cold, “What are you doing here?” “Picking you up.” Liu Lihua pursed her lips. She wanted to tell him not to pick her up, they were going to get divorced anyway, there was no need for this. But because of her personality, even when she was being tough, her words were soft and she couldn’t be assertive. While she was hesitating, Zheng Battalion Commander had already handed her an umbrella, and he opened another one for himself.
Shen Zhiyu was dying to see this. Zheng Battalion Commander really deserved it. The umbrella was so big, couldn’t they share one, why did he have to open two? Gu Ye saw her looking back every few steps, he frowned, “Look where you’re going.” “Okay.” Before she got pregnant, if Gu Ye thought her walking posture was wrong or something, he would make her exercise and even make her practice standing with him. Now that she was pregnant, the doctor said that she shouldn’t exercise too much in the early stages, she needed to rest. Gu Ye no longer made her practice standing and walking postures.
But he would keep nagging and repeating himself, making Shen Zhiyu’s ears hurt, she was afraid of him. To avoid listening to him continue his chanting, she could only look away and walk honestly. It was raining, and they wanted to eat something warm, so they made a pot of soup noodles together in the kitchen. While eating the noodles, Shen Zhiyu thought, she had made it so clear to Liu Lihua, and Zheng Battalion Commander still came to pick her up today, their relationship would be closer no matter what. But who knew, when she got to the office the next day, Liu Lihua was still in such a bad state. Shen Zhiyu asked her what was wrong, and Liu Lihua gave a wry smile, “Teacher Shen, thank you, but I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
” They weren’t that close anyway. Since Liu Lihua said so, Shen Zhiyu didn’t want to ask anymore. She nodded, said, “If you need any help, you can come to me,” and then returned to her desk to continue preparing her lessons. Not long after, Shen Zhiyu heard that Zheng Battalion Commander’s mother had gone back, and before leaving, she had a big fight with Zheng Battalion Commander. She had thought that their relationship would be better after Zheng Battalion Commander’s mother left. But after a while, they were still lukewarm to each other.
Besides teaching, Shen Zhiyu also had to catch up on her junior high and high school courses. It was colder here in winter than in their hometown, and her clothes weren’t enough. She thought Gu Ye would have thick clothes, but it turned out he only had one thin sweater. And the sweater was hard and small, it didn’t look like it fit him, so she asked Xiao He to bring her some yarn from the county. She planned to knit a sweater for herself and Gu Ye. This was the first time she had knitted a sweater, she either dropped stitches or missed stitches. It just so happened that Fu Chunmei was a master at knitting and sewing, so Shen Zhiyu went to Fu Chunmei’s house every day after work with a small basket full of yarn and knitting needles to learn how to knit. She had two children, two sons and a daughter.
Every time Shen Zhiyu went, she would bring some food for Fu Chunmei’s three children, Fu Chunmei would say it was wasteful, but her face was almost blooming. The three children also called her “aunt” affectionately. Especially Fu Chunmei’s youngest daughter. Compared to her two brothers, she was more sensible, and she was still in elementary school, and she knitted better than Shen Zhiyu. When Shen Zhiyu was knitting with Fu Chunmei, she would sit quietly beside her, and Shen Zhiyu liked it very much. She had always wanted a daughter, and after seeing Fu Chunmei’s daughter, she wanted a daughter even more. Seeing how much she liked her, Fu Chunmei teased her jokingly, deliberately saying, “You like her so much, why don’t you just take her as your daughter, San Ni, do you want to go to your aunt’s house to be her daughter?” When Ma San Ni heard Fu Chunmei’s words, her face turned pale, and she looked at the two adults helplessly.
It was obvious that this wasn’t the first time she had been told that she was going to be sent to someone else’s house. Shen Zhiyu glared at her angrily. Knowing Fu Chunmei’s personality, she deliberately agreed with her, “Okay, I really want San Ni to be my daughter.” Fu Chunmei was immediately anxious, “Pfft, I risked my life to give birth to my daughter, you can only dream!” “I can only dream, you know that.” “Go, go, go, if you want to dream, go home and knit by yourself.” Shen Zhiyu laughed and pleaded, glancing at Ma San Ni, seeing the fear on her face disappear and replaced by her usual docile expression, she felt relieved. When she went home that night, she couldn’t help but tell Gu Ye about it, “If I have a daughter, you must never say that kind of thing in front of her.” San Ni was about to cry just now, Shen Zhiyu felt uncomfortable watching her.
But many parents are like that, Shen Zhiyu had encountered many of them when she was a child, so she gave Gu Ye a heads-up. She could still see San Ni’s scared and helpless look, and only when she saw Gu Ye’s expression did she remember what Chen Cui Juan had told her before. Gu Ye’s sister was also given away. Her heart skipped a beat, she was filled with regret, “Gu Ye, I…”
“No.” He was about to explain, but the man wrung out the towel, wiped her feet clean, and said again, “Whether it’s a son or a daughter, they are our children, I won’t say that kind of thing to them.” Shen Zhiyu looked at his expression, her heart ached. She couldn’t help but wonder where Gu Ye’s sister was now. She hoped she was doing well. That way, Gu Ye’s heart would feel a little better.
After a rain, the temperature here dropped sharply. Listening to the weather forecast on the radio, it had dropped ten degrees overnight. Fortunately, both sweaters were finished, and it was Sunday today, so she didn’t have to go to work. She lay in bed for half a day before getting up, and after putting on her clothes, Shen Zhiyu took out the sweater she had just finished knitting yesterday, still warm, and handed it to him, “Try it on, see if it fits.”
Shen Zhiyu had been knitting for half the time these days. She thought she was knitting it for herself, but now seeing her holding the sweater and standing on tiptoe in front of him, Gu Ye was stunned, “Didn’t you knit it for yourself?” “I knitted two, one for each of us.” Seeing that the size should be right, Shen Zhiyu’s arms were sore from holding it up, but he was still standing there motionless. She glared at him angrily, “What are you standing there for, try it on quickly to see if it fits, it’s just right that we don’t have to go to work today, if it doesn’t fit anywhere, I can fix it.”
“It fits, it must fit.” The man touched the soft sweater. He realized today that sweaters weren’t actually hard, new sweaters were actually so soft and comfortable. Shen Zhiyu: “…….You know it fits without even trying it on, go try it on quickly.” “Okay.”
At the same time, in a mud brick house in a mountain ravine hundreds of kilometers away. It had snowed all night in the mountains, and the woman in the house was only wearing a thin, worn-out coat as she cooked in the kitchen. The coat didn’t fit, revealing a bony arm, and if you looked closely, there were some old and new marks on it.
