Chen Dongju asked Gu Baozhu to call someone, but Gu Baozhu was a bit shy and felt embarrassed.

But when he saw Li Xia, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he called out in a low voice: "Brother Weicheng, cousin's wife."

Then he whispered even more quietly: "My cousin's wife is so pretty..."

Li Xia looked at Gu Baozhu, smiled at her, and nudged Gu Weicheng next to her with her elbow, hinting with her eyes that he should smile as well. Didn't you see that the little girl was shy? She also had a stern face. What if she was scared?

Gu Weicheng received the signal and realized that his expression might have been a little serious just now.

There's no way, he's used to it in the army, and sometimes he has to remind himself not to be so serious.

He started to greet her, "Baozhu has grown so big now."

An An was originally playing with Gu Xiaofu and Gu Xiaoman, and when he saw that the grandmother had left him out when introducing the people, he quickly walked over and said:

"Grandma, there's me, and there's me. You haven't introduced me yet. My name is Gu Shian, and I'm mom and dad's son. I should call you aunt, right?"

This made Chen Dongju burst into laughter, and she quickly said, "Yes, yes, grandma forgot about you."

"Yes, you are An An. I have read the letter you wrote to your great-grandfather. It is very well written and you are very cute." Gu Baozhu felt much more at ease in front of the child. She handed the bag of candies in her hand to the children and let them eat together.

"My dad and I look a lot like each other. I'm cute because my dad is cute," said An An.

Gu Baozhu glanced at Gu Weicheng and thought to herself that she couldn’t say that. Although An An looked a lot like Gu Weicheng, An An was cute, while Gu Weicheng, her cousin…

Looks fierce!

She remembered that she didn’t think her cousin was so fierce when she was a child…

Li Xia did not miss the wonderful expression on Gu Baozhu's face when she heard An An's words, and she couldn't help laughing as she pursed her lips.

At the same time, she had something else to ask Gu Baozhu. She pulled Gu Baozhu over and asked, "Baozhu, I want to ask you something. I heard that Zhang Guifen has a distant relative who works in your sugar factory. Do you know who this person is?"

"Zhang Guifen's distant relative?" Although Gu Baozhu didn't know why Li Xia wanted to know about this person, she still asked seriously.

"I know. She and I are in the same workshop, but not in the same group. I heard that they are not very close relatives, and they are five generations apart. However, they have a pretty good relationship. Zhang Guifen visits her in the factory from time to time. I heard that they grew up together, like real sisters."

"Is she a woman?" Li Xia asked in surprise.

"Yes." Gu Baozhu nodded, not understanding why Li Xia was so surprised.

Of course, Gu Baozhu didn't know that Li Xia mistook this "distant relative" of Zhang Guifen for Zhang Guifen's lover and subconsciously thought that this person was a man.

But if you think about it carefully, if that distant relative is Zhang Guifen's lover, it would be too obvious. Zhang Guifen would not be so stupid as to have an affair with this person openly.

It seems that this distant relative was just a trick of Zhang Guifen. Every time Zhang Guifen went to the sugar factory, she was ostensibly looking for this person, but in fact she was probably looking for her lover.

This also shows that Zhang Guifen’s lover was from the sugar factory.

Li Xia plans to find an opportunity to conduct an on-site investigation at the sugar factory.

"Cousin, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Seeing that Li Xia didn't continue talking, Gu Baozhu thought she might have said something wrong and asked nervously.

Li Xia immediately shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something. Baozhu, thank you for telling me this."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a small thing, why are you thanking me, cousin?" Gu Baozhu felt embarrassed by the thank you.

"By the way, your cousin and I came here this time and brought you a gift. You were not at home the past two days, and I didn't have the time to give it to you. I will go get it for you now." Li Xia said as she went into the house to get the gift prepared for Gu Baozhu.

"Wow, this cloth is so beautiful!" Gu Baozhu exclaimed.

"This is a tie-dyed fabric that is unique to Yuncheng. Not only is the fabric made by the people of Yuncheng, but the patterns on it are also dyed one piece at a time. The patterns on each piece of fabric are different and unique." Li Xia explained.

Li Xia had carefully selected this gift because she had heard from Gu Weicheng before that Gu Baozhu had a birthmark on her face. Because of this birthmark, Gu Baozhu had felt inferior about her appearance since she was a child.

Although she did not say it explicitly, the gift she gave to Gu Baozhu meant that even though Gu Baozhu had a birthmark on her face, she was still unique.

Moreover, after meeting Gu Baozhu, she found that she was pretty. Although the birthmark near her temple was not beautiful, it could not hide her beauty. Especially when Gu Baozhu smiled, she was very contagious, which made people feel better.

"And this. I heard from your cousin that you liked to eat candy when you were a child. Yuncheng happens to have flower cakes for sale, so I brought a few boxes here. This box is for you. Try it and see if you like it." Li Xia said.

Gu Baozhu looked at the beautiful fabrics and the sweet flower cakes, and her love for this cousin-in-law whom she met for the first time was almost overflowing.

"Cousin, you are so nice!" After saying that, Gu Baozhu paused and smiled at Gu Weicheng who was not far away, "Hello, cousin too."

My cousin looks fierce, but I didn’t expect that he is actually a nice person!

Gu Weicheng glanced at Li Xia and said honestly that he really hadn't thought about it so thoughtfully. All these words were asked by Li Xia in advance about everyone's preferences when she wanted to prepare gifts for the family and send them to them. He just mentioned that Gu Baozhu loved to eat candy when she was a child, and was chased and beaten by her aunt because she stole brown sugar from the cupboard. She also said that Gu Baozhu had a birthmark on her face, which made her feel inferior.

As a result, his wife prepared these two things and said that the tie-dye pattern was unique and Gu Baozhu's birthmark was also unique.

Hearing this, Gu Weicheng was immediately filled with admiration for his wife.

…

During dinner, Chen Dongju mentioned Gu Baozhu's boyfriend and asked, "Baozhu, why didn't Tan Ming come back with you this time? Have you decided when to get married? You are not young anymore, it's time to get married. According to your father and I, you should settle the marriage this year."

When Gu Baozhu heard this, the expression on her face became strange and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
