Chapter 257 Courtyard House
"Don't worry! Grandma Gu cares about Gu Yihan the most right now."
"She's too scared to gamble."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou gave Gu Meng a thumbs up: "Wife, you're amazing."
Gu Meng glanced at the grinning Qin Shou, a cold smile flashing in her eyes.
Grandma Gu was able to come to Kunming by deceiving the brigade leader, Gu Baoqing, with his letter of introduction.
The brigade leader couldn't keep sending her letters of introduction indefinitely.
Photo studio
Gu Yihan glanced at the time on her wrist and realized that half an hour had passed since Grandma Gu went to the toilet.
Feeling a little worried, and looking at Hao Hao who was playing and frolicking with Song Zhi's son, she called out to He Shengli, who was standing at the door, "Hey, can you watch Hao Hao for me for a while?"
Upon hearing this, He Shengli smiled and nodded, then walked over and sat down next to Hao Hao.
Looking at Gu Yihan's retreating figure, Song Zhi couldn't help but feel envious. Commander Lu was so good to her.
When she went out to take photos, they even arranged for a bodyguard to take care of her personally.
Gu Yihan walked out of the photo studio and saw Grandma Gu standing not far away, lost in thought.
He immediately went to her side, grabbed her arm, and asked worriedly, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
Grandma Gu regained her senses upon hearing her granddaughter's voice and turned to meet her worried gaze.
Thinking of Gu Meng's words, she couldn't help but feel afraid; she couldn't let her granddaughter be harmed.
In order not to let Gu Yihan see through his act, he quickly raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye and composed himself.
He smiled at her and casually made up a lie: "It's nothing, I just miss those gossipy old ladies in Gujia Village."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan assumed that Grandma Gu was homesick and said with a smile, "Grandma, if you want to go back to the village, your granddaughter will buy you a ticket right away and accompany you back."
Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter with mixed feelings. As long as her granddaughter was alright, she didn't mind suffering a little hardship herself.
He raised his hand and patted her head: "Don't go back, Xiao Han. You finally got out of the village, don't ever go back in this lifetime."
"Okay," Gu Yihan replied with a smile and a nod.
Grandma Gu forced a smile, took her granddaughter's hand, and said softly, "Let's go home."
Gu Yihan had no idea what had just happened to Grandma Gu.
It seemed as if her energy and spirit had vanished all at once, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes as she looked at her.
...
Family compound
After Gu Yihan got out of the car, she looked up and saw Master Chu and Leng Xiao standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
She paused for a moment, then realized she had forgotten about the hamster.
He bent down and picked up the sleeping Hao Hao, walking towards the courtyard gate while asking knowingly, "Master Chu, what brings you here?"
Master Chu looked at Gu Yihan with a kind expression and said with a smile, "Comrade Gu, have you forgotten something?"
Grandma Gu, carrying Hao Hao's clothes, greeted Xiao He and took out the keys from her pocket.
She instructed, "Xiao Han, take Hao Hao to his bedroom first."
Gu Yihan nodded.
Grandma Gu beckoned Master Chu and Leng Xiao into the house.
After Gu Yihan came out of the bedroom, she looked at Master Chu and Leng Xiao sitting on the sofa and said, "Master Chu, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Little Squirrel can't come back right now."
"You will need to wait ten days."
After this experience, Gu Yihan realized that if the little hamster stayed away from the space for too long, its spirit would become unstable, and it needed to return to the space regularly to sleep and replenish its energy.
Master Chu was overjoyed upon hearing this; he was far from disappointed.
Gu Yihan knew the exact date the little hamster would return, proving that she could contact it.
"Comrade Gu Yihan, rest assured, you will receive a reward."
After saying that, Master Chu slapped Leng Xiao's leg hard and said in a deep voice, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the things out."
"Hiss." Leng Xiao couldn't help but touch his thigh, which was definitely red. He looked at Master Chu, angry but dared not say anything.
He deftly pulled two property ownership certificates from his briefcase.
Master Chu took the certificate and handed it to Gu Yihan, smiling as he said, "Xiaohan, I heard from Leng Xiao that your husband is from Beijing. After thinking it over, I applied for a courtyard house for you there."
"This way, we'll have a place to stay when we go back to Beijing to visit relatives during the Spring Festival."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan's eyes lit up dramatically, like a 100-watt light bulb.
She reached out and took the two property certificates for the two courtyard houses, her name on them, her expression remaining unchanged.
My heart was bursting with excitement, I was overjoyed.
"Master Chu, thank you, I really like this reward."
Gu Yihan looked at Master Chu and thanked him earnestly.
Master Chu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; as long as he liked it, that was fine.
...
The Gu Yihan family of four sat together around the dining table for dinner.
She looked at the tofu balls and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table, picked up a tomato and an egg and put them in her mouth.
The sourness of the tomatoes almost killed her; the taste of no sugar and no salt was just too refreshingly sour.
He immediately vomited, his face contorted in pain, grimacing as he looked at Grandma Gu and asked, "Grandma, did you forget to add salt and sugar to the tomato and egg dish?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu glanced blankly at her granddaughter and asked irrelevantly, "Tofu balls, not salty."
Lu Huailin quickly handed his water glass to his wife: "Wife, drink some water."
Gu Yihan picked up the water glass and gulped down several mouthfuls before the sour taste in her mouth gradually disappeared.
She looked at Grandma Gu, who seemed distracted, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Huailin reached out and tugged at his wife's clothes.
He whispered in her ear, "Honey, I'm taking Hao Hao out for a walk later. Ask Grandma if she has something on her mind."
Gu Yihan gave a soft "hmm" and nodded.
After dinner.
After Lu Huailin efficiently cleared the table and cleaned up the room,
He picked up Hao Hao and walked out of the living room, giving Gu Yihan a knowing wink before leaving.
"Pfft." Gu Yihan couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking of her grandmother sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
He immediately went to her side, sat down next to her, and asked softly, "Grandma, is something on your mind?"
Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter, opened her mouth, but thinking of Gu Meng's threat, she hardened her heart and said, "Xiao Han, Grandma will go to Gu Meng's house tomorrow to take care of her during her postpartum period."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan's eyes widened, and she stared at Grandma Gu in disbelief: "Grandma, what did you just say?"
She suspected there was something wrong with her ears and began to hallucinate.
"Gu Meng is about to give birth, and the wet nurse is worried about her, so she's going to go and take care of her for a few months."
Grandma Gu looked up at her granddaughter and said in a serious tone.
"Grandma, are you joking with your granddaughter?"
Gu Yihan forced a smile, trying to calm herself down, and asked with a forced, relaxed expression.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu shook her head and said, "Xiao Han, Gu Meng doesn't have a mother-in-law. When she gives birth, it's only right and proper that Grandma Gu takes care of her for several months."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan could no longer suppress her anger.
She jumped up and walked straight to the bedroom, saying before entering, "Grandma, your granddaughter knows."
