Gu Jingtai originally wanted to call Su Shuoci his brother-in-law, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Su Shuoci's cold gaze.
He was so scared that his hands shook and the kettle in his hand almost fell to the ground.
From then on, Gu Jingtai no longer dared to call Su Shuoci his brother-in-law, and no one else in the Gu family saw the interaction between the two.
Su Shuoci sat beside Gu Jiaojiao as if nothing had happened, and handed her the tools gently and considerately.
Gu Jingtai poured a glass of warm water and handed it to his brother: "Brother, drink some warm water. I'll make you a glass of malted milk."
He was very familiar with the Su family and treated them as his own home, and the other people in the Gu family did not feel restrained either.
The old man also felt more energetic after the infusion: "Jiaojiao, can Grandpa have some chicken soup at noon?"
"Of course you can. You're not sick, you're just lacking nutrition. Just drink more chicken soup and you'll be fine."
"Haha, I'm not sick." Old Master Gu was very happy. Some time ago, he was going to be transferred back to the imperial capital.
However, due to poor health, he was diagnosed by several authoritative doctors and was told that he was terminally ill and would not live long.
Bullshit!
He thought he was not sick, but was just very hungry. Now his granddaughter says he is not sick, haha...
The happiest person was Mr. Gu. His father was not sick, and his son was not sick either. They were just malnourished. Now everything is fine.
They will never lack nutrition again. He looked at Gu Jiaojiao with tears in his eyes.
"Jiaojiao, our Gu family has never raised you for a single day..."
"Dad, you have truly loved and raised Sheng Xinglian, so you have a clear conscience. Eighteen years ago, the Sheng family also truly loved your daughter."
"Yes, Jiaojiao is absolutely right. As a person, all you need to do is to have a clear conscience." Mr. Gu is worthy of being an educator.
"You guys take a break first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help."
Gu Jiaojiao wanted to help her father get a few bottles of high-quality nutrient solution, but that would seem too extravagant.
Su's father was slaughtering chickens and rabbits in the kitchen, while Su's mother was happily busy picking and cutting vegetables.
Seeing Gu Jiaojiao come in, Su's mother immediately said, "Jiaojiao, go out and spend time with your family. Do you want to cook the rabbit spicy or braised?"
"Mom, how about making half spicy diced rabbit and half braised rabbit?"
"Okay, the chicken soup is already cooking. We'll have the pig's feet for dinner, and for lunch we'll have braised pork, pork and loofah soup, and braised pork intestines..."
Su's mother just didn't want Gu Jiaojiao to take action, but she wanted to talk to her daughter-in-law, even though she had been a chef for decades.
But the dishes cooked by my daughter-in-law are more delicious, especially the pork soup made by Jiaojiao.
With Jiaojiao's guidance, the dishes she cooks are comparable to those in state-owned restaurants.
That way she would be able to save face in front of her in-laws. Su's mother's desire was written all over her face.
"Mom, you wash the pot and cook the braised pork, I'll chop the vegetables."
"Okay, okay, Jiaojiao, what did I do wrong? Please tell me again."
After the three members of the Gu family have finished receiving the nutrient solution, they can wash their hands and eat.
Looking at the ten delicious dishes on the table, Mr. Gu's mouth was watering.
The Gu family's appetite was greatly increased. Gu Jingtai was very tactful in setting up the table and chairs, and helped his mother to the table to eat.
Gu's father supported Gu Jinghua. Miraculously, the old man didn't need anyone's support. He could walk by himself, and he walked a few steps with great vigor.
This made Gu Jiaojiao laugh: "Haha~ Grandpa, do you walk like this at home?"
"Haha... No, I can't even walk at home without support." Old man Gu laughed heartily.
Su Qinchun also came back at noon. Seeing so many people at home, she felt a little shy.
"Qinchun, this is my grandpa, parents, and two brothers. You are not shy, are you?" Gu Jiaojiao teased her.
"Hello, Grandpa, Uncle Gu, Auntie, and my two brothers." Su Qinchun shouted in a particularly clear voice.
She was a little timid at first, but after being encouraged by her sister-in-law, she dared to face the Gu family calmly.
"Well, the little girl is very graceful and elegant, really good." Old Master Gu praised with satisfaction.
Su Qinchun looked at Gu Jiaojiao with gratitude, and quickly helped everyone serve a bowl of chicken soup.
Everyone was about to pick up their bowls to drink soup when they heard a knock on the door. Father Su quickly went to open the door.
"Qihua is here, who is this?"
"Hello, Uncle Su, this is my dad." Dong Qihua often came to the Su family and was very familiar with Su's father.
"Qihua, call your dad into the house to eat together. We haven't eaten yet." Su's father invited honestly.
Dong's uncle was already worried about his sister, so he followed Dong Qihua into the house without saying anything.
The father and son were stunned when they saw the entire Gu family sitting at the table, especially the ten dishes on the table.
The thing is, the eldest son of the Dong family learned that his stepmother had sent his sister's family to the Su family.
He had a dark face and said nothing, but gave Ren Xiaofang a sense of awe-inspiring and inviolable oppression.
She sat next to Mr. Dong, not daring to speak. She just ate the rice in her bowl and didn't even dare to pick up any vegetables.
Her daughter Dong Yuanyuan has been performing with the art troupe for more than three months. If her daughter were here, she could help ease the atmosphere.
The other members of the Dong family also lowered their heads to eat. The table was completely silent. They were not in charge of the family and did not know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were.
It doesn’t matter to them whether there are more or fewer people eating.
Old Master Dong was embarrassed by his son's dark face. He glared at his young wife fiercely, with a warning look in his eyes.
At the same time, he felt a little aggrieved. It was not that he did not want to keep his eldest daughter and her family, but that his in-laws wanted to leave on their own.
"Dad, let's go see my aunt." Dong Qihua suggested when he saw that his father was very unhappy.
No one dared to eat if this continued. Although Dong Qihua was not afraid of his father, he would suffer from indigestion if he ate in such an atmosphere.
He originally wanted to go see his good friend Su Shuoci, wondering if he had any aftereffects from falling into the water yesterday.
"Okay, Dad, take your time eating." The eldest son of the Dong family stood up and left.
The father and son rode a 28-inch bicycle and arrived at Su's house in a short while. Little did they know that there were so many dishes at Su's house.
There are five people from the Su family and five people from the Gu family. The table can accommodate ten people, but now there are two more.
Gu Jiaojiao immediately pulled Su Shuoci away and said, "Uncle, cousin, you guys take a seat. Brother Shuoci and I will just sit aside."
Su Qinchun immediately went to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and quickly served two bowls of chicken soup.
This time she didn't dare to speak. She moved a small table and sat down to eat with her elder brother and sister-in-law.
The eldest uncle of the Dong family had been in a high position for more than ten years. Seeing that there were enough dishes on the table, he sat in the upper seat next to Mr. Gu without any hesitation.
It was not the first time he saw Gu Jiaojiao, but it was the first time he looked closely at his niece, who looked 70% similar to his sister when she was eighteen years old.
Combined with his brother-in-law's good genes, she is even prettier than his sister. How come he didn't notice it before!
"Sister, Jinghua, you can actually sit at the table and eat now?" This was something he couldn't believe.
"His uncle, Jiaojiao, knows a little bit about medicine. He said we were seriously malted. He made us a few cups of malted milk and we were fine. Hey~"
Old Master Gu said embarrassedly that he would never let others know that his granddaughter had a lot of IV drips.
