Open book is beneficial

In the next few days, Cheng Zhou took a week's annual leave and took Gu Yazhen to drive around the province, from Niagara Falls, Qiandaohu Town to Ottawa's Lido Canal.

It is very cold in winter, and it is obviously not a good choice to blow the wind outside.In addition to watching scenic spots and playing some ice sports, the two spent most of their time eating in restaurants and ordering takeaways in hotels, watching TV by the stove while eating.

"Am I going to make you poor?" Cheng Zhou sat on the carpet of the hotel and stuffed french fries with meat sauce into his mouth.

"Just eat, I'm rich." Gu Yazhen replied proudly.

Cheng Zhou made a grimace, and was still not satisfied after eating his share, so he got up and grabbed the French fries in Gu Yazhen's box.

Traveling these few days, booking hotels, buying tickets and eating are all Gu Yazhen's money.You need to swipe the driver's credit card to rent a car. After Cheng Zhou paid, Gu Yazhen transferred the money to her without hesitation.

At the beginning, Cheng Zhou felt that since he was paid, he should pay half of the money.Unexpectedly, Gu Yazhen had a proud face and rejected her kindness: "After you get married, all your money will be mine, so you should cherish it while I'm still generous."

Whenever I promised, I gave it to her.Cheng Zhou was speechless, so he decided to kill Gu Yazhen.Anyway, Gu Yazhen usually earns more than her, and she is still a poor kid who is struggling.

After the trip, the two bought a lot of Canadian specialty maple syrup, ice wine and smoked salmon.Gu Yazhen left half of it for Cheng Zhou to eat slowly, and packed the rest neatly in the suitcase to take back home.

"Who did you bring it for?" Cheng Zhou leaned on Gu Yazhen's back to watch her tidy up, and couldn't help teasing her, "Is it Zhou Yuning? Is it the new elementary school girl?"

Gu Yazhen now maintains a good and polite friendship with Zhou Yuning, and occasionally have dinner together on weekends.According to Gu Yazhen, Zhou Yuning is currently supporting his younger sister to go to college, and the work is a bit hard, and he has no time to find a partner.

And according to Wang Xiaonan, there is a new elementary school girl in Gu Yazhen's group, she is beautiful and cute, she learns and does experiments with Gu Yazhen every day, and the senior sisters call each other very gently.When Cheng Zhou first heard about this, she was so angry that Gu Yazhen coaxed her for a long time before she felt a little relieved.

"These things are so expensive, so I won't give them. I'll give them these bags of biscuits." Gu Yazhen shrugged innocently, and held up two bags of maple leaf-shaped sandwich biscuits for Cheng Zhou to see.

"Then who brought these salmon and wine?"

"I brought them for your parents. Uncle likes to drink. I bought these boots for your mother. Her hands and feet tend to get cold in winter."

While Cheng Zhou was abroad, Gu Yazhen would run to Cheng Zhou's house from time to time to deliver some fruit drinks from the research group, and sometimes Cheng's mother would enthusiastically stay for dinner.Over time, she soon became aware of the living habits of Cheng Zhou's parents.

"Why are you so nice to my parents?" Cheng Zhou turned to kiss her.

"Of course it's fine, we'll be a family in the future." Gu Yazhen replied solemnly.

Cheng Zhou was moved and worried: "But if they know about our relationship, they will probably be very angry."

This is why she has been hiding it from her parents.In the eyes of her parents, Cheng Zhou is probably still a little girl who is dedicated to learning and has little affection for boys.If one day let them know that they have liked girls for a long time, God knows what they will do.

"I know, I will work hard for it." Gu Yazhen turned around and hugged Cheng Zhou, and asked cautiously, "If one day, your parents don't agree with us being together, what are you... going to do?"

Cheng Zhou looked at Gu Yazhen uneasily and remained silent for a long time.For a long time, she always threw this question to her future self, assuming that she could hide it for the rest of her life with peace of mind.

She was caught off guard by the question, and she really didn't know what to do.

"You...will you still marry me?" Seeing that Cheng Zhou didn't answer, Gu Yazhen's expression became a little heavy.

Cheng Zhou looked at Gu Yazhen in disbelief: "Of course I will marry you."

She put her arms around Gu Yazhen's neck, rubbed the tip of her nose comfortingly, her eyes drifted a little: "I was just thinking, I don't know how to tell them. Should I cut it first and play it later? Or..."

Gu Yazhen breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled contentedly: "Whatever you want is fine, just listen to you."

Although it was wicked to think so, Cheng Zhou was suddenly a little thankful that Gu Yazhen's parents didn't care about her.Otherwise, they might really be out of breath when the two mountains are pressed down.

"Zhou Zhou, no matter what, I will be by your side and accompany you. So let's go and solve the family affairs slowly, shall we?" Gu Yazhen grabbed Cheng Zhou's wrist, lifted her up and kissed the back of her hand , The firm eyes gave Cheng Zhou a rare sense of security.

"Okay." Cheng Zhou nodded.

----------

After a few days of comfort and happiness passed, Gu Yazhen embarked on the journey home.Before leaving, the two went to Zou Wen's house for dinner together. Gu Yazhen brought many gifts to Zou Wen, thanking her for taking care of Cheng Zhou all the time.In addition, Gu Yazhen also bought two cameras for Cheng Zhou, one installed at the door of the house and the other on the desk in the office, and told Cheng Zhou to pay more attention to it.

After the two parted reluctantly, Cheng Zhou didn't have the energy to go to work for several days. He didn't think about food and tea, and his weight loss effect was remarkable.

In the blink of an eye, May passed again.During the summer vacation, Cheng Zhou went back to the country.I haven't seen him for a year, my father looks older, and my mother's hands are thickened with calluses.

Cheng Zhou was a little sad and distressed, and advised his mother to work less and go out to play more.Unexpectedly, my mother was not only ungrateful, but also calmly replied: "I played too much mahjong, and I got a lot of cocoons."

Cheng Zhou suddenly felt less distressed, and felt that he was redundant.

However, her parents were really polite to her, and her mother no longer scolded herself like before, and she couldn't help being a little dazed by this kind of birth.

"You said, did my mother treat me as an outsider?" Cheng Zhou asked suddenly while lying on the bed in Gu Yazhen's dormitory, playing with his mobile phone.

Gu Yazhen sat at the desk and stopped typing: "Probably not. Your mother is probably too precious to scold you now, but she doesn't know what to talk to you, so getting along is a bit awkward. Just wait patiently, In a few days, I will probably start to dislike you."

Gu Yazhen really knew everything well. After staying at home for more than a week, Cheng's mother started to chatter again. From Cheng Zhou's mobile phone and not working to why she didn't find a partner, she heard Cheng Zhou doubting her life.

"It's not over." Cheng Zhou turned his face angrily, took the key and ran to Gu Yazhen's dormitory without looking back.

Gu Yazhen took her to eat hot pot and drink milk tea, wishing to make her fat and white.Cheng Zhou, who had a girlfriend who forgot his mother, ate and drank happily, stayed in Gu Yazhen's dormitory at night, and was even more full.

The next day, Lebusi Shuzhou came home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Cheng Ma sitting on the sofa in the living room, her eyes were red, obviously she had cried.

Cheng Zhou was taken aback, sat down next to his mother at a loss, and asked cautiously: "Mom?"

"I'm back." Cheng Ma said flatly, her voice hoarse.

"Um……"

"Have you had breakfast? Did you squeeze in when you fell asleep at Yazhen's place yesterday?"

Cheng Zhou blinked guiltyly: "Eat something casually... go to the senior sister's place to make a floor shop, it's not crowded at all."

Mama Cheng nodded, then sighed.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Zhou didn't know why, but there was always an unspeakable guilt in his heart.

"It's nothing." Cheng Ma shook her head, got up and went to the kitchen to choose vegetables.

Cheng Zhou also got up quickly and followed behind to help without saying a word.The food in the kitchen is fragrant, but the air is silent and depressing.

"I chatted with your dad last night, saying that the child has grown up, we as parents really can't control so much." Cheng's mother stared at the braised pork in the pot, and finally broke the silence.

Cheng Zhou's heart tightened, and the green beans in his hand flew out and hit the window glass in front of him.Frantically picking up Aomame, she raised her hand to brush the hair on her forehead, pretending to be indifferent.

"Hey, now that you've made money and have your own mind, you can't listen to what I, an old woman, say. It's for your own good that Mom asked you to find a partner."

Cheng Zhou disagreed, but he didn't say anything.

"Zhouzhou, no one will take care of me when I'm old. Are you ignoring my mother?"

Cheng Zhou: "...how could I ignore you?" Mom, what kind of brain circuit is this.

"Then why don't you find a partner?" Cheng Ma changed the topic and returned to the original starting point, "I will have a child in the future, and someone will take care of you when you get old and sick."

Cheng Zhou: "..." Can she answer the question just now?

"Mom, can you stop talking about this? I have my own plans." Cheng Zhou replied unhappily, "Is it the meaning of life to just find a man to marry and have children?"

"I gave birth to you, isn't it good now?"

"Then Gu Yazhen's mother was in a hurry and found a random man to marry. How was she doing, and how was the child?" Cheng Zhou retorted.

After Cheng Zhou finished speaking in one breath, he suddenly regretted it.I was too impulsive, I shouldn't lose my temper like this with my mother.She lowered her head silently, waiting for a scathing accusation.

Unexpectedly, Cheng's mother just looked at her in a daze, and remained silent abnormally.

The air condenses into ice again.Cheng Zhou stood there restlessly, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

"Mom, I'm sorry... I was wrong, I shouldn't have contradicted you." She bit the bullet and apologized, her voice as thin as a gnat.

Cheng's mother turned her face away from her, and picked up the spatula to fry the sugar in the pot.Seeing that the soup was getting darker and darker, Cheng Ma didn't know it, and continued to repeat the stir-frying gesture mechanically.

"Mom, stop collecting the juice, it's time to serve it..."

"Do you have any prejudice against boys?" Cheng Ma asked casually.

The movements in Cheng Zhou's hands froze, and his mind went blank.Mom, are you still starting to doubt her?

Thousands of threads in my mind are mixed together, and I keep cutting and making things messy.The painstakingly concealed, after all, can't resist the impulse of the moment.Cheng Zhou held his breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, there is something I have to tell you."

"You put the braised pork out, I'll drag it all over the floor. I'm so busy, and there's no one to help." Cheng Ma turned a blind eye, handed the spatula to Cheng Zhou, turned and left in a hurry.

Cheng Zhou stood in the kitchen blankly, unable to turn his mind for a while.With complicated emotions, she put the braised pork on a plate and brought it to the table. She called her mother to come over for dinner. The two of them swallowed what should have been a delicious lunch without saying a word, but there was still more than half of it left.

"Mom, let me wash the dishes." Cheng Zhou took the initiative to take the dishes and left the table as if nothing had happened.
