Chapter 71 Open it and see if you like it
"Really?" Gu Dong's eyes lit up surprisingly.
"Of course it's true, go home."
Gu Dong glanced at Yu Lixin and the others and started running.
Great, Dad is finally back.
"Dad." Gu Dong shouted loudly as he entered the yard, his forehead covered with sweat from running.
Gu Huai walked out of the kitchen with the shredded pork and loofah soup. Seeing his eldest son, he said, "You're back."
"Yeah." Gu Dong nodded vigorously, his eyes brighter than before. "Dad, you're back. I missed you so much."
Because Lin Siyu had always been indifferent to the children, even though Gu Huai was sometimes strict, these children were still closer to him as their father.
"Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"Yeah." Gu Dong rushed into the kitchen to get some water to wash his hands, and took out two bowls of rice.
Gu Dong walked into the main room with the meal and saw Gu Nan with a swollen face. He was stunned for a moment, put the meal on the table, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.
"Gu Nan, what's wrong with your face? Who hit you?" he asked with a frown.
Gu Xixi sat on a stool and said, "It was Luo Xiaojun's mother who beat us. We were fighting with Luo Xiaojun, and Luo Xiaojun's mother saw it and beat us."
Gu Dong clenched his fists, feeling extremely angry, and wanted to beat Luo Xiaojun up.
He couldn't beat Liu Qin, so he could only beat her son.
"Mom has fought back for us and pinned Luo Xiaojun's mother to the ground and beat her." Gu Nan added.
Gu Dong was stunned and turned his head to look at his stepmother who came into the house with the meal. He was a little bit unbelievable that his stepmother had gone to help his two younger brothers settle the score with Liu Qin.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Eat." Yu Hui frowned, put the bowl on the table, and sat down next to Beibei's baby chair.
"Let's eat." Gu Huai sat in the main seat.
The rice that Yu Hui brought was Beibei's, and the other bowl was a bowl of shredded pork and loofah soup that was chopped more finely.
She scooped the shredded pork and loofah soup into the rice, chopped it with a spoon, mixed it, and then placed it in front of Beibei.
Beibei picked up the spoon and started eating with big mouthfuls.
"Beibei can eat by himself now." Gu Huai, the old father, felt very relieved.
Yu Hui: "Since getting this baby chair, Beibei has been eating by himself."
Gu Huai looked at her and said, "You've taken good care of the child these days."
Yu Hui raised her eyebrows. Will he still think so after hearing from others about her child abuse?
Gu Huai was surprised to find that his young wife's cooking skills had improved a lot in the more than a month since he was away.
He wondered if it was because she was willing to use more oil and seasonings when cooking.
When she cooked before, she used very little oil and no seasoning except salt.
It’s similar to the way his mother cooks. She is also reluctant to use oil and only uses salt as seasoning.
There is no other seasoning at home except salt.
He thought the child might say it was not tasty, so Yu Hui changed it.
"Dad, is Beijing big?" Gu Dong asked curiously while eating.
Gu Huai picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork. It was really well-cooked, even better than what he had eaten at the state-owned restaurant. "Big."
"Are there many people?"
Gu Huai picked up a piece of vinegar-fried potato shreds with chopsticks. The potato shreds were delicious, sour, spicy and crispy.
"many."
"Is Jing City fun?"
Gu Huai picked up a piece of fish-flavored eggplant, sighed, and looked at his eldest son helplessly, "Can you ask me after dinner?"
This was the most appetizing meal he had had in the past month and a half, and he just wanted to eat well.
The food in Beijing is very different from the food at home. He couldn't get used to it after eating it for a month and a half.
Gu Dong stuck out his tongue awkwardly and stopped asking.
After the meal, Gu Huai did not sit there and act like a big shot. He helped Yu Hui collect the dishes.
"Let me wash it." Gu Huai put the bowls in the sink, rinsed the remaining bowls, and said to Yu Hui who was carrying them into the kitchen.
Yu Hui glanced at him, shook her head and said, "Let me wash it. You must be tired after sitting on the train for so many days. Go and rest."
Gu Huai: "Washing dishes is easy and not tiring."
After he finished speaking, he scooped hot water from the pot behind him into the basin, added some cold water and started washing the dishes.
Seeing that he had started washing, Yu Hui put the bowl aside and went to wipe the table with a rag.
After wiping the table, Gu Huai was still washing the dishes, so Yu Hui washed the big pot and wiped the stove.
"Brother, you have to be careful." Gu Nan whispered to his brother who was still immersed in the joy of his father's return.
Gu Dong: “…”
"What should I be careful about?"
Gu Nan was about to speak when he saw his father roll down his sleeves and go into the house, and he closed his mouth again.
Gu Huai walked into the study and took out all the gifts he had brought for his family.
When he went out with the gift, Yu Hui had already entered the main room and was taking Beibei out of the baby chair.
"Dad, did you bring anything back?" Gu Dong and his two younger brothers surrounded him.
Gu Huai nodded, walked to the table and put everything on it.
"This is the kaleidoscope Xixi has always wanted." Gu Huai handed the kaleidoscope to his youngest son.
"Thank you, Dad." Gu Xixi took it babyishly.
"Nannan's toy gun." Gu Huai handed the small black plastic gun to his second son.
When Gu Nan saw the small pistol, his eyes lit up and he quickly reached out to take it, "Thank you, ouch..." He opened his mouth and pulled the wound on his face, and cried out in pain.
"Thank you, Dad." He took the small pistol, turned it over and looked at it, unable to let it go.
Yu Hui sat on the recliner holding Beibei and watched. Gu Huai was a good father. Even after going on a long trip, he still remembered to bring back gifts for the children.
It was Gu Dong's turn. He was looking forward to what his father would buy him. Would it be the telescope he had always wanted?
Gu Huai picked up a small rectangular box and handed it to him. Gu Dong was stunned. Looking at the size of the box, it couldn't be a telescope inside.
"I bought you a pen. Use it to practice your dog-crawling handwriting." Gu Huai couldn't stand his eldest son's dog-crawling handwriting, so he specially bought him a pen to let him practice calligraphy.
"Oh, thank you, Dad." Gu Dong took the pen with some disappointment. Why is it just a pen?
"This is a little bell for Beibei." Gu Huai took out a silver bell bracelet and handed it to Yu Hui.
The latter took it and shook it in front of Beibei's eyes, making a sound as sweet as a silver bell.
Beibei reached out and grabbed the bell bracelet, her eyes full of love.
"Mom, put it on Beibei." Yu Hui put the bracelet on Beibei's left hand. The bracelet can be adjusted in size, and she adjusted it to the right size.
"I bought this for you. You've been working hard taking care of several children at home alone these days." Gu Huai handed the skirt wrapped in white oil paper to Yu Hui.
The latter widened his eyes in surprise, pointed at himself and asked, "I have a gift too?"
She didn't expect that Gu Huai would bring her a gift.
After all, she had no feelings for the original owner.
He took it and said, "Thank you."
"Open it and see if you like it?" Gu Huai coughed after saying that, and suddenly felt a little expectant. After she opened it, she was surprised to see the skirt.
