"What did you buy? Let me see." Gu Zhan asked.

Gu Mingjing showed him what he had prepared. "These are it. Uncle Zhao's, Aunt Zhao's, and a few children's. They're all prepared."

Gu Zhan opened it and took a look. Besides the necessary cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks, there were also some small items, belts, scarves, toys...

You can see that it was prepared with great care.

"Take them all. More gifts are always welcome and show your appreciation." He closed the bag and nodded.

Gu Mingjing readily agreed, "Okay, I'll take it with me."

After packing all the gifts, he pondered for a moment, making sure nothing was left out. Then he picked up his things and said goodbye to the two of them. "Dad, is there anything else I should be aware of? If not, then I'm leaving. Shushu is still waiting for me at home."

"That's all. When you get there, remember to be sincere. Answer whatever you're asked. Answer honestly and don't play any tricks." Gu Zhan warned.

"I understand. Don't worry. I'll bring Shushu back to see you tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, they hit the nail on the head for Gu Zhan, and he quickly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, OK! I'll be waiting for you to bring Shushu to see me."

Then he turned to Li Gang and said, "Xiao Li, let's go out for a walk later. My future daughter-in-law is coming to visit, so we have to treat her well."

"Yes, Chief, you have been looking forward to this day for many years." Li Gang has been with Gu Zhan for some years, so there is no need for him to be rigid in his words and deeds.

Seeing the two of them arranging today's itinerary with each other, Gu Mingjing looked at the time and it was already late.

Without further delay, he said goodbye to the two of them and rode away on his bike.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and even the cold winter cannot extinguish this enthusiasm.

Looking at his departing back, Gu Zhan felt a little emotional.

It has been almost twenty years. The baby in the cradle has grown into a big girl, the annoying little boy is about to get married, and these old guys have left and dispersed, and they will never get together in their lifetime.

Fortunately, after many twists and turns, the final result was still the same as what I expected at the beginning.

It is a little comfort in these ruthless years.

I wonder if Old Jian is still alive in heaven? I wonder if he would be happy or angry, or both?

Maybe one day in the future, he will know.

-

Gu Mingjing rode his bike quickly, looking excited and impatient.

So when we arrived at Jane's house, it only took half the usual time.

He took out his key, opened the door and entered the yard as if he knew the place well.

"Shushu, have you eaten?" he asked loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Jianshu, who was putting on makeup in the room, was startled by the sound. Her hands shook and her eyebrows were drawn crookedly.

Looking at the protruding eyebrows, she immediately rolled her eyes.

Without getting her answer, Gu Mingjing continued shouting outside.

"Shushu, Shushu——"

"Shut up!" What are you yelling about? You're killing me!

Hearing the obvious anger in the brief words, Gu Mingjing immediately shut his mouth and stayed in the living room with his head down like a child who had made a mistake.

Jianshu wiped off the crooked eyebrows and started over.

You came so early. It’s still early for the agreed time. There’s no rush.

This time, Gu Mingjing didn't dare to urge him and could only stay in the living room and wait obediently.

When Jianshu got everything ready and opened the door, it was already ten minutes later.

As soon as she went out, she saw Gu Mingjing, who was dressed up, and she raised her eyebrows.

It has to be said that military uniforms can bring out one's temperament. Ordinary people can look energetic when wearing military uniforms, not to mention Gu Mingjing.

Looking at him, one can't help but want to...

"Shushu, you look so beautiful today." Seeing her come out, Gu Mingjing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Today's books are really good.

Of course, every day’s book is good to read.

"Yeah, thank you for the compliment, you too." Jianshu blinked beautifully, feeling very happy, and took the opportunity to give each other a business compliment.

"Are you ready? It's getting late, let's go." Gu Mingjing couldn't help but urge.

Jian Shu didn't delay, it was better to go early, nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go."

"Okay, I'll push the bike." Gu Mingjing agreed happily.

Today is a rare day of good weather. The sun, which has not been seen for a long time, has slightly peeked out. Although the sunlight is not scorching enough, it shines on people, giving them a long-lost warmth.

Jianshu picked up her small bag and followed him out.

As soon as I go out, the first thing I see is a pile of gifts in the basket in front of the car and on the handle.

There were really a lot of them, blocking the car completely.

She opened her mouth slightly and her eyes widened.

"This..." Pointing at the pile of things, she hesitated, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

Although it is normal to bring gifts when visiting someone's home, isn't this a bit too much?

"It's not an exaggeration! Half of the things inside were prepared by me, and half were prepared by my father. They are all thoughtful things." Gu Mingjing said.

Jianshu: "...Okay."

Since Gu Zhan had already prepared some, she couldn't let him leave some behind, so she just took them all.

Gu Mingjing adjusted the position of the gifts in front of him so that they would not block his movements.

Then he patted the back seat and said, "Come on, we're ready to go."

Jianshu sat sideways, gently holding his waist with one hand and resting the other hand on the back seat.

After feeling that she was sitting well, Gu Mingjing pushed his foot and the bicycle slid out.

"Let's go!" The voice was full of anticipation and joy.

The speed of the bicycle is also much faster than usual.

Jian Shu felt a little panicked and couldn't help but pat him on the back, reminding him: "Slow down!"

The road was not easy to drive on, and there were so many things hanging on the steering wheel, it was really in the way.

Hearing the panic that could not be concealed in her voice, Gu Mingjing obediently slowed down his speed to his usual level.

Jianshu finally breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of the time on the road to chat with him.

"Now that you're out, is Uncle Gu home alone?"

"No, Brother Li is here too." Afraid she wouldn't know who he was, he explained, "Brother Li is my dad's bodyguard. He's been with him for several years."

Jianshu understood and then asked him about other things.

After all, it is her turn to meet the parents tomorrow. If she asks more, she will have a better idea of ​​the situation.

Although she knew that Gu Zhan was very satisfied with her and would not make things difficult for her, she still felt a little uneasy.

"Before I left, they agreed to go out for a walk later. They'll get ready so that they can treat you well tomorrow." Noticing her uneasiness, Gu Mingjing didn't say anything comforting like "don't worry" or "relax", but indirectly expressed his family's welcome to her.

You see, everyone is looking forward to you.

Jianshu's tension eased a lot.

She felt much more relaxed during the following conversation.
