Chapter 23: Remember Your Stepmother
Gu Dong glanced at his stepmother and told the truth.
After hearing this, Dr. Sun felt relieved.
Yu Hui also knew why Dr. Sun asked this, but she still thanked him.
When I stood up and was about to leave with Gu Nan in my arms, I realized that my hands were very sore.
She was carrying another child on her back and she really didn't have the strength to carry Gu Nan back.
"Jianshe, can you help me carry Gu Nan back?"
"It's okay." Yu Jianshe said and squatted on the ground.
As soon as he left his stepmother's arms, the reassuring warmth disappeared. Gu Nan pouted, climbed onto Yu Jianshe's back, and glanced at his stepmother.
When the group was returning home, people they met on the way also asked Gu Nan what happened and whether he was okay.
After knowing this, everyone told Gu Nan not to be so naughty in the future, and asked Yu Hui to make something nutritious for him.
Before he reached the door, Gu Xixi, who was sitting on the doorstep, came to greet him.
"How's my second brother?"
There were still traces of tears on the little guy's face. Yu Hui touched his head and said softly, "Your second brother is fine. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
Yu Jianshe carried Gu Nan into the house and placed him on a long reclining chair. Gu Xixi, who followed him into the house, immediately climbed onto the reclining chair and looked at his second brother and asked, "Second brother, are you in pain?"
Gu Nan glanced at his silly brother. His head was broken, how could it not hurt?
"My second brother ignores me. Is he stupid?" Gu Xixi asked her mother and eldest brother anxiously.
Gu Nan: “…”
Yu Hui couldn't help laughing, and Yu Jianshe also laughed with his head down.
Gu Nan looked at his stepmother and Brother Jianshe with a look that was 50% aggrieved and 50% accusing, but they were still laughing!
Yu Hui untied the straps on her body and said, "Your second brother is not stupid, he just has a headache and doesn't want to talk."
When Gu Xixi heard that her second brother ignored her because he had a headache, she immediately took off her shoes, stood on the deck chair, and blew air on her second brother's forehead which was covered with gauze.
"Huff, huff, huff... the pain flew away..."
“…”
Gu Nan was speechless. Gu Xixi was so childish. However, the cool wind made the wound less painful.
The third basket of buns in the kitchen had already been steamed, and the water in the pot was almost dry, but fortunately they were not burnt.
The steaming time of the buns is a little longer, but it does not affect the taste.
Yu Hui first picked up a plate and took it to the main room for the children to eat.
The two brothers Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin had not left yet. When they saw her bringing out the buns, they said they were leaving.
Yu Hui invited them to have something to eat together, but they said they had some at home and left without saying anything despite her attempts to keep them.
"You guys eat some buns first. I'll go steam another pot. After that, I'll make meatball soup and we'll have dinner." It's already five o'clock, so it's just right for dinner around six o'clock.
Gu Dong has to go to school tomorrow, so he should go to bed early and eat early.
Gu Dong and Gu Nan looked at Baozi without responding, but Gu Xixi responded with a long tone.
"Okay~"
"If Beibei wants to eat, tear off some skin and feed it to her, tear it small, and don't feed her the filling." The filling is a bit salty and not suitable for Beibei.
Gu Dong knew that these words were spoken to him, and nodded.
Yu Hui went back to the kitchen to make dumplings. She used the remaining filling and dough to make about thirty dumplings. Yu Hui steamed them in one pot, squeezing them a little.
Just as I finished wrapping and steaming it, Qian Lan came over.
"It's because I wasn't here. If I were here, I definitely wouldn't let those people scold you like that." She went to the post office in the afternoon to mail the summer clothes and shoes she had prepared for her parents-in-law. She was not at home, and this happened when she was away.
Yu Hui smiled, shook her head and said nothing.
"Gu Dong and Gu Nan are indeed wrong, but don't take it to heart. Don't really think about divorce."
"It's not easy to be a stepmother. If the children are disobedient, we can teach them slowly. These two children are not inherently bad, they just can't tell the difference between good and bad."
"Captain Gu is a flawless person. If you divorce him, you won't be able to find him again in the future." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qian Lan tried to persuade her again.
To be honest, if there weren't four children and Aunt Zhao who was throwing a tantrum and forcing Captain Gu and Xiao Yu to get married, Xiao Yu would definitely not have had the chance to marry a good man like Captain Gu.
From his appearance, work, the way he hands over his salary, and the fact that he educates his children and does some housework at home, and doesn't completely ignore the boss, Gu Huai is indeed impeccable.
But Gu Huai probably just treated the original owner as a nanny to take care of the children and do the housework so that he would not have to worry about anything.
Not to mention whether he liked her or not, he definitely didn't treat her as a real wife and looked down on her.
After all, he always slept in a separate room from the original owner.
After talking with Yu Hui in the kitchen for a while, Qian Lan went to the main hall to talk to the two brothers Gu Dong and Gu Nan.
"You two must never act naughty and scare your mother again. Don't yell about anything in the future. It will make people misunderstand your mother and hurt her feelings."
"If you continue like this, I will definitely sue you when your father comes back." Qian Lan pointed at two big ones and gave them a warning.
"Look how nice your stepmother is. She even made such delicious meat buns for you. Nan Nan, even when you hit your head, it was your mother who carried you all the way to the infirmary. Her arms were shaking when she put you down." This is what Jianshe told her.
"Your biological mother has never been so good to you. You should appreciate the kindness of your stepmother." After saying that, Qian Lan turned and left.
But he didn't know that Gu Dong and Gu Nan were sad.
Although I don't want to admit it, my mother has never cooked a bowl of porridge for them, let alone buns.
As far as they can remember, their mother has never hugged them, nor has she shown concern or anxiety when they were sick or injured, and never sent them to the infirmary. It was always their father who went home to take them there.
But even so, she is still their biological mother, the mother they love the most, and they cannot accept outsiders saying that their mother is not good to them.
As soon as Teacher Li entered the house, he smelled the fragrant aroma of meat buns.
In the living room, the eldest daughter Wu Tingting was sitting on the sofa playing with the younger daughter Zhenzhen.
"Grandma made dumplings this afternoon?"
"It wasn't made by grandma, it was sent by someone else." Wu Tingting swallowed her saliva as she smelled the increasingly strong smell of meat buns.
Although my grandmother often makes dumplings, she can never make them taste like this.
"Was it a gift from someone else?" Teacher Li hung the cloth bag on the clothes rack and went into the kitchen.
"Mom, who sent the buns?"
Zhao Chunhong was stirring the sweet potato porridge in the pot. Since there were buns, she didn't cook any dishes in the evening. She just cooked some sweet potato porridge and ate it with the buns.
"Xiao Yu sent it to me, saying thank you for the milk powder coupons for their family." Afraid her daughter would accuse her of accepting things without permission, she added, "I said no, but Xiao Yu said she packed it herself and insisted I take it. Zhen Zhen started to make a fuss, so I accepted it."
"Don't accept it next time." Old Wu in her family is the deputy political commissar, so he has to pay attention to the impact to avoid gossip.
Normally, no matter who sends something to their family, they will never accept it.
But she gave Gujia milk powder coupons yesterday, so Yu Hui made some buns to express her gratitude, which can be regarded as a reciprocity, and there is nothing to say about it.
But if you send it to me again in the future, I will definitely not accept it.
"I know." Zhao Chunhong nodded.
Teacher Li took a deep breath and blinked at the steaming pot. "I didn't expect Xiaoyu to have such cooking skills. These buns smell so delicious."
