"Mom, you're back?"

As soon as the car stopped, Gu Siyan, who was playing with He Cuiping's two children, immediately ran over.

"Are you hot?" Lin Yuxi touched his arms and back.

Gu Siyan shook her head. "It's not hot. Grandma put a towel under my clothes, so they're not wet. I'll continue playing with Brother Xiaohu."

Lin Yuxi nodded slightly. "Go ahead."

Gu Chen took out a lot of things from the back seat of the car, including the three-piece bedding set that Lin Yuxi brought back from school, which she changed almost every two weeks, some books, and fruit that Gu Chen bought on the way.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight." Gu Chen carried bags of things; only a week had passed, and the air had already cooled down considerably.

He was carrying a piece of lamb chop in his hand.

Tonight I'm going to make stewed lamb chops for Lin Yuxi.

Eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer.

Tonight we're having lamb chops stewed with radish.

He had to go to many places to buy this sheep.

"Xixi, come and have a taste. Mom just made some stewed white fungus and pear. It's good for your lungs." Jiang Shufen ladled out a small bowl and placed it on the table. "This white fungus was brought from home. Your dad said it was given to him by his factory and insisted that I bring it back for you to try."

"good."

Gu Chen returned.

Jiang Shufen gave him her spot in the kitchen.

When Gu Chen was around, he would never let Jiang Shufen and Lin Yuxi into the kitchen to work. They could watch for a bit, but if they were too busy, he would prepare the food in advance.

“Once this busy period is over, the house over there will be renovated, and Grandpa and the others can come over. You won’t have to keep traveling back and forth.” Lin Yuxi said slowly as she sat in the chair.

"It's all your dad's fault. He can't sit still. He keeps saying that his boss is good to him and he can't bear to leave. He always says he'll leave in two years. Four years have passed, and he's still saying he'll leave in two years. If it really doesn't work, I'll bring your grandparents to live with us first, and let him be a bachelor all by himself." Jiang Shufen sat on the sofa and casually pulled the sofa cover to smooth it out.

Jiang Shufen now goes back to Shanghai twice a month, each time for three or four days, which takes up a lot of time.

Two years ago, I bought a house in Beijing. It was a detached house with a courtyard and seven or eight rooms.

However, the renovation has not progressed, mainly due to Lin's father, who has been dragging things out in Shanghai; otherwise, they would have moved here long ago.

"It's okay, we'll be together sooner or later."

Lin Yuxi smiled and her eyes crinkled.

night.

The four people sat at a small table, eating stewed lamb chops with radishes.

Gu Chen even made a whole one for Gu Siyan to eat directly.

After finishing his meal, Gu Chen put on an apron and cleaned up the kitchen before giving Gu Siyan a bath.

Gu Siyan is now over four years old. To distinguish between boys and girls, she mostly follows Gu Chen around. She also sleeps in her own room, but her bed is filled with her favorite little things.

"Dad, why does Xiaoming have a younger sister, but I don't?"

"Can I bring Xiaoming's sister over and have her be my sister?"
