Chapter 176 She has a mouth in this life
Gu Yuehuai's cooking skills are beyond words. In those days of food and clothing shortages, being able to have a bite of this was such an enjoyment. Several people tried their best to fill their stomachs, and Gu Xihuai was smacking his lips, as if he was savoring the taste.
After Gu Zhifeng had eaten her fill, she began to eat her own walnuts.
He looked at Yan Shaoyu, whose every move revealed his unruly demeanor, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
Gu Zhifeng looked at Yan Shaotang, who was being held in Gu Yuehuai's arms and seemed a little sleepy. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Shaoyu, since you are Shaotang's elder brother and relative, how are you going to settle her?"
Originally, they all thought that Yan Shaotang was an orphan who was abducted by human traffickers and was rescued accidentally. Shaotang was very cute and her family was not short of food, so they just wanted to treat her as a member of the family and raise her well.
However, now that Yan Shaotang's relatives have been found, they have to stand back.
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table became tense.
Gu Xihuai frowned and looked at Gu Zhifeng, feeling that he shouldn't raise this question at this time, but when he put himself in her shoes, he felt that it was natural. He looked up at Yan Shaotang, his eyes filled with reluctance.
He has taken care of Shaotang for so long, spending time with her every day, and has long regarded her as his own sister.
In fact, in his heart, Yan Shaotang was even closer to him than Gu Yuehuai. The little girl was delicate, soft and cute, far beyond what Gu Yuehuai could compare to when they were little. But she made up for his wish to be a good brother since he was a child.
Gu Yuehuai paused, lowered his eyes to see that Yan Shaotang had fallen asleep, and carried her into the room.
When she came out, she heard Gu Zhifeng say, "Shao Yu, since you are Shao Tang's biological brother, if you want to take her away, we have nothing to say. However, if she lives in the educated youth camp, can you take good care of her?"
Gu Zhifeng's tone was very serious. She was not trying to be difficult. She was just speaking from a good perspective for Yan Shaotang.
Yan Shaoyu is a man after all. He lives in the dormitory and has to go to work during the day. Although Yan Shaotang has regained some of her mental state now, she is only a four-year-old girl after all. It is obviously unreasonable to leave her in the educated youth center.
Gu Tinghuai pondered for a moment and said, "We are in the same Dalaozi Production Brigade. Shaotang has adapted to life at home. You can come to visit her after work. If you leave here in the future, we will not stop you from taking Shaotang with you."
He probably guessed what his sister was thinking. Even though he felt it was strange, as a brother he had to lend a helping hand.
After meeting him tonight, he also realized that Yan Shaoyu was a deep-minded person. He was always wary and cold towards others and was difficult to approach. If it weren't for Yan Shaotang, it would have been difficult to approach him.
Gu Xihuai received the meaning of his elder brother's words, thought about it, and agreed: "Yes, Shaoyu, I read books at home every day, so it's easy for me to take care of Shaotang. You have to go to work every day, so you can't take care of her."
On the one hand, this could indeed help Gu Yuehuai, but on the other hand, he really didn't want Shaotang to leave.
Listening to the words of the Gu family, Yan Shaoyu's eyes flickered, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
Of course he knew that it was not a wise move to take Shaotang away now. Not to mention whether he could take care of her, she was no longer the foolish Yan Shaotang. She had her own ideas and reason.
If Shaotang were given the choice, she would definitely not want to leave with him.
Gu Yuehuai took a few steps forward and sat on the edge of the kang, with a reserved smile on his face: "Shao Yu, let Shao Tang stay at home. You can come to see her every day, and take her back when you return to the city in the future."
Yan Shaoyu listened to her voice as light as spring water, and felt that the inexplicably heavy mood in his heart was relieved a lot.
He raised his long eyebrows, and his eyebrows moved slightly, and said seriously: "Thank you, Shaotang, thank you for taking care of me."
Before Gu Xihuai and the others could be happy, he continued, "I didn't know before, but now I know. It's not good to let Shaotang eat and live here for free. I will pay for the money and food. If you need anything, just let me know."
Yan Shaoyu's voice was clear and his tone was very serious, as if he was making a promise.
Gu Yuehuai blinked, then laughed: "Why are you being so polite? But, from now on, when you come over after work, you can eat at home. Anyway, it's the same whether I cook for Shaotang or for you, so one more person is not too much."
Gu Xihuai glanced at Gu Yuehuai and thought to himself, this guy is really taking advantage of the situation and is not polite at all.
Gu Tinghuai's eyes also flashed, and he was completely sure of Gu Yuehuai's thoughts.
Gu Zhifeng, who was working on a plate of walnuts at the side, paused. Although he was a rough man, he was not that stupid. He glanced at Gu Yuehuai belatedly, his mouth twitched, and his eyes were mixed with confusion. He didn't know how to react.
What's this called? A girl can't stay at home when she grows up? She's planning to find a partner so soon?
Hearing this, Yan Shaoyu's handsome eyes were slightly startled, and he looked at Gu Yuehuai with a strange look.
Gu Yuehuai didn't move her eyes away, and looked at him with a smile in her bright eyes.
Even in front of her family, she did not hide her joy and selfishness towards Yan Shaoyu.
In this life, even if she couldn't be as in love with him as she was in the last life, she didn't want him to not understand her feelings because of various reasons. Living another life, perhaps the biggest gain would be to have a mouth.
Sometimes, some people go against what they want precisely because they are unwilling to speak up.
Yan Shaoyu's body was a little stiff. Before he could speak, Gu Yuehuai said, "It's almost time to go back to the educated youth center. Let's go quickly. It's too late or they will leave the door open for us."
She took the initiative to break the deadlock, which made Yan Shaoyu's tense muscles relax quietly.
Gu Yuehuai was not at all disappointed with Yan Shaoyu's subconscious rejection. He said something to Gu Zhifeng and others and walked out.
Yan Shaoyu looked at her back, pursed his lips gently, and his defiant gaze softened slightly, with a mixture of emotions welling up in his face. When he was in the capital before, there were people who had been so enthusiastic towards him before, but he had never felt so embarrassed.
"Uncle Gu, I'm leaving first." Yan Shaoyu nodded to Gu Zhifeng and the others, then followed Gu Yuehuai away.
Gu Xihuai lay on the door frame, watching Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu leave one after another, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Gu Zhifeng said unhappily, "Old Third, what are you doing?"
Gu Xihuai chuckled and slowly sat back on the kang: "Dad, haven't you figured it out yet? Your precious daughter has fallen in love with brother Shaotang."
Gu Zhifeng choked and slapped Gu Xihuai on the head: "What the hell is it to you? Take care of yourself first!"
Gu Xihuai covered his head and hissed, then sat further away without making a sound. Thinking of the strangeness when they came back tonight, he frowned and said, "Did something happen in the team today? You two look weird."
