Back To The 80s-Chapter 71 - 70: Surprise_1

Gu Xiaobei’s words aroused the attention of Lu Zhanguo. As soon as Gu Xiaobei left for work in the morning, he went to see Shen Heng.

Seeing Lu Zhanguo come to him so early in the morning, Shen Heng was puzzled: "What’s the matter this early?"

"I just wanted to ask which country did Yuan Tan study in?" Lu Zhanguo asked.

Shen Heng found it strange, dealing with this first thing in the morning: "Yuan Tan studied in F Country, everyone in the compound knows this. Her sister married a foreigner with a high nose bridge."

In the 1980s, when the reform had just opened up, there was a wave of studying abroad. In the early 1980s, there were fewer government-sponsored trips abroad, but many girls from big cities married foreigners to go overseas. Yuan Tan’s sister, Yuan Ye, married a man from F Country, which provided Yuan Tan with the opportunity to study abroad.

Seeing that Lu Zhanguo didn’t make a sound, Shen Heng couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter, is there anything strange about this?"

"No, yesterday Xiaobei looked at the label on the wine bottle and said it was brought by Yuan Tan from F Country. How could she bring wine from Y Country?" Lu Zhanguo honestly said.

Shen Heng didn’t pay much attention, "Maybe it’s a red wine exported from Y Country to F Country?"

"Xiaobei said this kind of wine can only be bought domestically." Lu Zhanguo firmly believed that what Gu Xiaobei said was true.

Shen Heng was surprised: "This concerns the economic direction and wine culture of Y country, how does sister-in-law know so clearly?"

Lu Zhanguo didn’t know why, he just said: "To be on the safe side, you should still check Yuan Tan."

"Alright, recently things here have been embroiled with Y country too much. It’s better to be careful." Although Shen Heng didn’t believe that Yuan Tan had any issues, it’s better to check.

As they were talking, Yuan Tan came and knocked on the door. When she saw Lu Zhanguo, her face immediately showed satisfaction: "Brother Zhanguo is here too. I was saying that I am bored and asked Brother Shen to accompany me to go out, Brother Zhanguo, why don’t you come too?"

Lu Zhanguo said indifferently: "I have other matters, so I won’t go. You two go ahead." He remembered that last night Gu Xiaobei grabbed his ear, ordering him to keep a distance from Yuan Tan and all unmarried women who had intentions towards him, otherwise they would not discuss the matter of having a son!!

If Shen Heng knew what was going through Lu Zhanguo’s mind, he would yell ’wife slave!’ three times!

Yuan Tan looked at Lu Zhanguo who wouldn’t even look her in the eyes properly. With teary eyes and pouted lips, she said, "Why is Brother Zhanguo like this? I’m not a virus."

Shen Heng helplessly shook his head and said: "Alright, where do you want to go? Let’s get going."

"I want to go to the Fuxi Temple to have a look, is it far?" Yuan Tan thought for a while and said.

"It’s a bit far, let’s just stroll around in the city, we don’t even have a bicycle." Shen Heng didn’t want to walk too far.

"Alright, let’s just stroll around in the city." Yuan Tan also didn’t want to walk.

"Your sister in F Country should be doing pretty well, right?" Shen Heng asked casually.

"Yes, it’s pretty good. She already has two children. They’re very cute." Yuan Tan said proudly.

"Hmm. Her sister was originally the most beautiful in our compound, all the boys secretly liked her." Shen Heng was one of them, ah, those were the days of youth.

"Did Brother Zhanguo also like my sister?" Yuan Tan assumed that Lu Zhanguo was also among them.

"Him? He doesn’t count. When we were running wild in the compound, he was already in the army practicing shooting. He was with a bunch of old men every day, he didn’t understand love at all." Shen Heng said with a laugh.

"Does he understand now? Is he happy with Gu Xiaobei?" Yuan Tan lamented. Why was she the one who missed out?

Shen Heng thought for a while and said: "Tantan, if you miss something, you miss it. You should go back to Capital City sooner."

Yuan Tan stubbornly raised her head and said: "No, I must make Brother Zhanguo realize that he and Gu Xiaobei are not suitable, and let him know what is love, what is responsibility."

Shen Heng shook his head. Yuan Tan’s affection for Lu Zhanguo had reached a distorted level. However, Gu Xiaobei was no pushover. Yuan Tan probably wouldn’t gain any advantage.

He didn’t bother to persuade Yuan Tan anymore. Some people wouldn’t give up even if they reached the Yellow River.

Gu Xiaobei felt that Ling Yun was particularly unusual recently. He usually has a gentle and easy-going appearance, but he was frowning all day today. Her curiosity about what was going on was piqued even more.

While in a daze, Jin Cheng suddenly popped up from the side and said loudly, "What are you thinking about?"

Gu Xiaobei was startled and threw a book over, "You want to die? You scared me to death!"

Jin Cheng dodged, muttering to himself: This woman really didn’t know how to appreciate kind gestures, if she kept staring at Ling Yun like this, Ling Yun would definitely notice. He loudly exclaimed: "Why are you so fierce, have you been led astray by that wild girl Qin Li?"

As soon as his words were spoken, a figure rushed over, and they started punching and kicking, "Who are you calling a wild girl?"

Jin Cheng dodged Qin Li here and there, shouting: "You crazy girl, instead of working, what are you doing here?"

Gu Xiaobei laughed, watching the two fighting, they were a match made in heaven.

It seemed that Ling Yun was somewhat displeased, he tidied up some things and said to Gu Xiaobei: "Xiaobei, when you’re leaving, lock the door. I’m going to leave work first."

Gu Xiaobei nodded in agreement. On the other side, Qin Li was still struggling with Jin Cheng. Jin Cheng was still sarcastically saying, "Look at you, you’ve become so fierce now, it’s no wonder no one is marrying you."

"None of your business, you dare to talk about me behind my back." Like an angry little tiger, Qin Li was punching and kicking Jin Cheng, venting out her frustration of unrequited love.

Although Jin Cheng was quite a chatterbox, he merely defended and let Qin Li punch and kick him. He grimaced in pain, thinking, this girl is quite powerful, and it hurts quite a bit.

But Gu Xiaobei was staring at a piece of paper that had fallen to the ground in front of Ling Yun’s desk. It seemed that Ling Yun had accidentally dropped it while tidying up earlier.

Wang Chuanjiang, annoyed by the noise, also left. Gu Xiaobei’s heart was itching, how could she pick up that piece of paper?

Chasing each other around, Jin Cheng and Qin Li accidentally ran out of the door. Gu Xiaobei glanced at the door. The two were still engaged in their playful fight and did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

Gu Xiaobei quickly squatted down to pick up the paper, turned it over and found that it was blank! She was disappointed and was about to put it back when she noticed a line of indents on the paper. It was a mark left from writing on the previous page.

Gu Xiaobei glanced at the door. Jin Cheng’s back was to the door while Qin Li was still pinching him. The two were still joking. With a quick turn of her head, she tilted the paper and vaguely saw a few words. Preparing to look closer, however, she heard Jin Cheng at the door saying: "I have to pack up my stuff and go home, I won’t play with you anymore."

Gu Xiaobei dropped the paper, quickly stood up, pretending she was about to leave.

Jin Cheng turned around and saw Gu Xiaobei standing behind him and said: "Stay away from this girl. Look at me, she pinched me until I’m bruised all over. How do I explain this?" Qin Li was standing outside the door with a brilliant smile on her face.

"Haven’t you guys left yet?" Ling Yun appeared at the door.

Gu Xiaobei whispered to herself: That was close. She laughed and said: "We’re leaving now, weren’t these two just fighting. Why have you come back?"

Ling Yun glanced at the paper on the floor and said, "I forgot something in the drawer, you guys go ahead."

Gu Xiaobei nodded, said goodbye, bypassed Jin Cheng, and pulled Qin Li to leave.
