Chapter 144: Alone (Overhaul)
In Qi Yanli's memory, Gu Zecheng has never been a helpful child since he was young.
Wang Meiling helped Lin Yinyin out of the ward, and only walked back after she helped her onto the back seat of the bicycle and watched them both leave the hospital.
Lin Yinyin sat sideways in the back seat and almost fell off several times, but fortunately she managed to keep her balance.
However, the road back to the village was difficult to walk on, and it was even more slippery after the rain. Even though Gu Zecheng rode very carefully, he was still wobbling.
Lin Yinyin was too embarrassed to pull Gu Zecheng's clothes, let alone hug his waist. She could only grab the back seat with her hands and try to balance her body.
His body was stretched straight, and even Gu Zecheng, who was sitting in front of him, felt that something was wrong.
"Hold on to me so you can be more stable. Otherwise, it will be difficult to ride with you shaking from behind and me in front."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Lin Yinyin then reached out and gently grasped the corner of Gu Zecheng's clothes. Even so, it was much better than before. At least her body was no longer so tense.
The two of them didn't say a word along the way. Gu Zecheng rode the bike attentively, carefully avoiding all the puddles.
Lin Yinyin wanted to break the awkward situation, but she didn't know what to say, so she continued to feel awkward until she almost reached the Youth League Home.
Fortunately, I got back safely without falling... My driving skills are pretty good.
"Secretary Gu, let's go in through the back door. There are too many people in the front yard."
"it is good."
Gu Zecheng didn't ask why. Lin Yinyin just did what she said. The two of them turned from the front of Aunt Luo's house to the back door.
Only after Gu Zecheng stopped the bicycle did he let Lin Yinyin get off.
The muddy ground after the rain was not suitable for Lin Yinyin to jump on, so in the end it was Gu Zecheng who helped her into the house.
As soon as the two entered the house, there was a flash of lightning in the sky and a few seconds later, the rumbling sound of thunder reached their ears.
Then came the heavy rain, which was just like God had turned on the faucet.
"Secretary Gu, the rain is too heavy. You can't leave for a while. Why don't you hide in the house first and stay for dinner before leaving?"
Lin Yinyin saw that it was raining so hard that she didn't want to chase them away. After all, Secretary Gu had come here specifically to send her back.
After hearing what Lin Yinyin said, Gu Zecheng had an idea. He really wanted to try Xiao Lin Zhiqing's cooking skills. He still remembered the look on Su Huairen's face when he showed off to him when he returned!
A while ago, he even said that he wanted to come to Qinghe Village for a free meal. Can he do as he wishes?
Su Huairen has been arranged to inspect work in other production teams, and he will not appear in Qinghe Village during this period.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Xiaolin Zhiqing. Since your legs and feet are not convenient, I can help you."
"Then I won't be polite."
"It should."
After saying this, Gu Zecheng ran out in the rain and pushed the bicycle under the eaves.
In just a few seconds, people were already half soaked. You can see how heavy the rain was.
Lin Yinyin found a clean towel and handed it over, saying:
"Wipe it off, don't catch a cold. We still have to rely on you to serve the people."
Gu Zecheng naturally took the towel handed to him by Lin Yinyin, wiped the water off his hair and then wiped his clothes.
Smelling the faint scent of soap on the towel, I suddenly felt a different emotion in my heart...
Lin Yinyin took out a new teacup, poured a cup of hot water for Gu Zecheng, and told him to drink it while it was hot.
"I don't have any tea leaves here. Secretary Gu, just make do with hot water."
"Well water is drinkable too. I'm not that particular."
"You're a leader who doesn't put on airs. When we went to town today, the educated youth in our car said you were a good person."
"Haha, isn't this what I should do? There's nothing to praise about it.
What do you need me to do for you?"
Gu Zecheng drank two sips of hot water and looked at Lin Yinyin jumping around in the room. He couldn't help but ask a question.
Fortunately, the kitchen is not big, otherwise it would be really tiring to get something.
"There's nothing left to take. Everything is almost ready. If you have nothing to do, please help me pick the beans. I'll make some stir-fried beans later!"
Lin Yinyin started steaming the rice while she was talking. However, no one was there to light the fire today, and she didn't know whether our Secretary Gu could do it.
"Secretary Gu, I'll have to trouble you to watch the fire for me while I cook."
"OK, no problem."
Gu Zecheng readily agreed. Although he was not very good at cooking, he had no problem making a fire. He had done everything during his years in the army.
If not...
Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Isn’t life pretty good now?
Lin Yinyin looked at how efficiently Gu Zecheng worked and nodded. It was obvious that he was a hard worker.
I guess he can cook. Look at the clean clothes he is wearing. What can I say?
It's just very pleasing to the eye, and coupled with her looks, I can only say she's perfect.
However, it was obvious at first glance that such a person was not someone she could imagine. The last time she saw Gu Zecheng's ID, she knew that although he was not very old, he was not young either.
According to the current marriage age, Gu Zecheng should have a child.
The rain outside kept falling and showed no sign of stopping. The two of them listened to the sound of the rain while chatting idly, and most of the time it was Lin Yinyin who was finding topics to talk about.
Fortunately, Gu Zecheng did not let Lin Yinyin's words fall to the ground, and gave her a gentle smile from time to time.
If Su Huairen saw this scene, he would definitely say "It's really weird". He had never seen Gu Zecheng like this.
The two of them were in the kitchen, one was lighting the fire and the other was cooking, and they worked quite harmoniously together. If someone stood outside and looked in at this time, they would definitely say, "A talented man and a beautiful woman..."
Soon the three dishes were ready: stir-fried green beans, scrambled eggs with leeks, and braised eggplant. Finally, a braised rice with cured pork ribs, which included both the staple food and meat, was served.
Lin Yinyin looked at the dishes on the table and pondered for a moment, then made another large bowl of tomato and egg soup.
Gu Zecheng stood by and took the bowl from Lin Yinyin's hand very tactfully. He had already swallowed his saliva several times just by smelling the food.
He had heard several times that the little girl’s cooking was delicious, and this time it was finally his turn to eat.
"Secretary Gu, why don't you eat first? The food will get cold soon."
As Lin Yinyin spoke, she took off her apron and hung it aside, then opened the back door of the kitchen to let the cooking fumes out.
"Waiting for you~"
