When Bonnie received Gu Dasao's letter, it was already the end of July. Gu Xi had been working for some time, and no matter how much Xu Fang hated her, she couldn't change that fact.
Not only did Sister-in-law Gu broadcast the entire story of Gu Xiangdong's family, but she also gave some insightful comments.
Anyone who can live with Brother Gu is definitely not an innocent little rabbit; at the very least, they are a fox.
Bao Ni and Gu Ye were impressed by the thoughtfulness of Brother Gu and his wife; they were truly remarkable.
"Gu Ye, we are lucky!" Bonnie said this countless times that night, and Gu Ye could recite it by heart.
"How so?"
“Look, if we were a match for Big Brother and Sister-in-law, with our intelligence, we'd be completely outmatched, with no chance of fighting back. Now, we're in a great position, enjoying the shade of their big tree. With Big Brother and Sister-in-law around, we can win without lifting a finger.” Bonnie had a good attitude; she admitted her limitations and would never force herself to do something she didn't know, nor would she pretend to know what she didn't.
“You’re right to think that way. With our older brother here, we can just focus on our own things and not worry too much. He’ll take care of everything for us.” There’s a reason why Gu Ye and Bao Ni can get along so well; they’re both very easygoing.
Bonnie carefully put away her sister-in-law's letter and would take it out to reread it from time to time. It was more interesting than most novels, and the writing was full of ups and downs.
"Gu Ye, Gu Wei from Uncle San's family is getting married. Shall we go back for the wedding?" Bao Ni wasn't familiar with Uncle Gu's family and they barely had any contact. They didn't go back when Gu Yu from his family got married either.
After getting married, Gu Yu did not stay in the performing arts troupe but was transferred to the logistics department. Her husband's family also lived in a large compound and held a high position. Her husband was a soldier, but not in a combat unit, and his position in the logistics department was neither high nor low.
Bonnie admired the Gu family; they were all quite shrewd and took the concept of marrying someone of equal social standing very seriously. She wondered what kind of background Gu Wei's future wife had; most people wouldn't even meet the standards of the Gu couple.
However, Sister-in-law Gu did not explain this matter, which made Bao Ni very anxious.
Gu Ye found it amusing; the bond between his Bao Ni and his sister-in-law was genuine, as precious as gold.
When it came to Gu Wei's relationship, Bao Ni couldn't help but write to Gu's sister-in-law for advice, otherwise she would be upset.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Bonnie and the others have nothing much to do. The kelp farm is doing well, and the corn on the island is growing well too. Although there was a drought in the spring and then continuous rain, the corn is still very resilient and has grown very tall. There is no need to weed anymore, as the weeds cannot keep up with the growth of the corn and are left far behind.
Bonnie stayed home with Sanqi and Liujiu. School was on holiday, and when it reopened, Liujiu would be starting first grade.
The children, Gangdan and Tiedan, from Battalion Commander Duan's family, the youngest and oldest in Yang Qiaomei's family, the youngest in Sister-in-law Yaru's family, and some other children of the same age in the family compound, numbered more than ten, all around six or nine years old.
With Liu Jiu and San Qi by her side, Liu Jiu had become the leader of the group of kids. Liu Jiu was intelligent and strong, while San Qi, though a bit of a troublemaker, was quick-witted and Liu Jiu's number one lackey.
Bonnie would occasionally tell her two children stories about how to avoid being scammed in the future, so that they would be aware of the risks and not be easily deceived.
"Mom, Sanqi and I went out to play. We won't go to the beach, we won't be in the sun, and we won't leave the residential compound..."
Liu Jiu repeated what Bao Ni was going to say, picked up the water bottle, and left with San Qi.
"Baoni, your Liujiu and Sanqi are so clever, how did you raise them? Last time I talked to them, they completely fooled me." Aunt Zhang next door was very envious of Baoni's two children. They were good-looking, eloquent, and cunning. No one could easily fool them.
"Sister-in-law, you're exaggerating. Our kids are just like any other kids, except Sanqi is a bit of a smart aleck." Bonnie knew that Liujiu and Sanqi were full of mischievous ideas, but kids should be allowed to grow up naturally. Don't label them too much; it's too tiring.
Six Nine, Three Seven, and about ten other children were playing a game of catching Japanese devils under the shade of a tree. A woman with a girl in the distance watched the group of children, hesitated for a moment, and then led the girl over.
"Hello, this is my daughter, Wang Yingying. May she play with you?"
If Bonnie were here, she would definitely recognize this woman as Qi Meifeng, the wife of Political Commissar Wang, whom she had been keeping an eye on.
"Who are you? We don't know you. Tell us your name first."
Tie Dan, Liu Jiu's number one follower, tilted his head and asked the question without any politeness.
"I'm Aunt Qi, I live in the third row from the back. I haven't been in the residential compound for very long, so you don't know me. Here, children, Auntie will give you some candy." Qi Meifeng pulled a handful of colorful candies from her pocket, which looked delicious.
Tie Dan looked at the colorful candies, swallowed hard, and raised his hand, wanting to take one.
"Why are you giving us candy? Candy isn't cheap these days." Liu Jiu pulled Tie Dan away from the candy.
"Although the candy isn't cheap, Auntie wanted to ask you to play with my Yingying, so this is a thank you gift." Qi Meifeng didn't expect this little girl to be so thoughtful and able to resist the temptation of candy.
"Thank you, but we didn't agree to let her play with us. Besides, no one in the compound would bring out so much candy just for their child to play together. Tell me, what's your purpose? Are you a spy? We are brave soldiers."
"Brave warrior!" Sanqi chimed in at the perfect moment, their cooperation seamless. Qi Meifeng was dumbfounded; how had she become a spy in such a short time?
"Auntie isn't a spy, I just wanted you to play with my Yingying. Did I take the candy away because you didn't want it? Can you tell me whose children you are?"
