Shen Man was just about to open the door when Shen Mingchuan got there first and strode over. He wanted to see which kid was trying to snatch his sister away from him.
The door opened.
A little kid blinked his eyes and looked at him with his head raised, "Good afternoon, little uncle~"
Behind the little girl stood a tall and handsome stranger.
Shen Mingchuan was stunned. Uncle?
How did he suddenly become my uncle?
When Shen Mingchuan was about to ask for clarification, Shen Man had already walked over. Gu Xiaobei rushed over and hugged her thighs tightly, "Aunt, Xiaobei misses you so much, do you miss Xiaobei?"
Shen Mingchuan walked up to his sister and asked, "Sister, who is this child? Why does he call you aunt and me uncle?"
He remembered that there were no such relatives in their family.
Shen Man held Gu Xiaobei in her arms and introduced him, "Mingchuan, this is Xiaobei, and this is Xiaobei's father. They are my father's relatives. According to the generational hierarchy, Xiaobei should indeed call you this."
Shen Mingchuan understood that these two people were relatives from his sister's father's side.
Gu Xiaobei said in a baby voice, "Uncle, I picked out a gift for you."
"Dad, quickly take out the gift I picked for my uncle." He quickly called Gu Qinglin.
At this time, everyone realized that Gu Qinglin was carrying large and small bags of things in his pocket, and he was standing alone outside the door.
At first glance, I was ignored.
Shen Man was a little embarrassed, "Comrade Gu, please come in and sit down."
Gu Qinglin nodded and strode into the house. "This is your first visit. These are the gifts Xiaobei picked for you."
As he spoke, he put these things on the table.
"Aunt, please let me down. I have picked out gifts for you, grandma and my uncle. I'm sure you will like them." Gu Xiaobei struggled to get down and distribute the gifts to everyone.
Shen Man put the man down, and Gu Xiao ran to Gu Qinglin's side, holding a box, and ran to Shen Mingchuan, stood on tiptoes, and put the box in front of him.
"Uncle, this is the gift I prepared for you. I'm sure you will like it."
Shen Mingchuan did not reach out to take it, but subconsciously glanced at Shen Man, "Sister..."
He is the elder, why would he accept such a small gift?
Shen Man nodded to him. Shen Mingchuan took the box with some anticipation, but was urged to open it by Gu Xiaobei.
"Uncle, open it quickly and take a look. This is your favorite pen. With it, you can keep writing homework."
""How about it, are you very happy and like it?"
He remembered that his uncle had told him before that a pen was the best gift for a child.
My uncle is still a child, so he will definitely like it if you give him a pen.
When Shen Mingchuan heard that it was a pen and that he was writing homework non-stop, he instantly lost his expectations and even wanted to throw the pen away.
What homework to do? He was already tired enough from writing all day at school. When he got home, he didn't want to continue doing homework.
When he looked at Gu Xiaobei's expectant eyes, he swallowed the words and forced a smile.
"Yes, yes, I really like it."
At this time, Yang Fang, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise and guessed that it was Gu Qinglin and Gu Xiaobei coming over. She brought the freshly prepared dishes to the table and said with a smile.
"Oh, who's here? It's our most obedient and beloved Xiaobei. It's only been an afternoon since we last met. Grandma missed you so much."
Gu Xiaobei said in a baby voice with sparkling eyes, "Xiaobei misses grandma too. I have prepared a gift for grandma. Please wait for me."
After that, with the help of Gu Qinglin, he found a beautifully wrapped red scarf from a pile of gifts.
The short legs clunked and ran to Yang Fang, "Grandma, I carefully selected this and gave it to you. It's very beautiful."
Yang Fang took it with a smile, and looked up at Gu Qinglin who was standing beside her, "Qinglin, it's enough for you to come, why do you bring so many things? We are all family, so it's polite to buy these things."
Gu Qinglin smiled, his eyes fell on Gu Xiaobei's soft face, "Xiaobei picked all the things, it was no trouble."
Apart from spending money and venting his anger, he really didn't have to think about anything else along the way.
At first he was afraid that his son would pick something random, but when he saw the gifts he picked, he had to admit that his son was better at choosing things than he was.
Especially the scarves he picked for Aunt Fang and Shen Man, they were really good and better than his taste.
Gu Xiaobei saw that Yang Fang was slow to open it, so he shook her hand and said, "Grandma, open it and see if you like it. If you don't like it, Xiaobei will buy you something else."
He remembered his mother saying that grandma liked beautiful scarves the most, especially red ones, which grandma loved very much.
Yang Fang smiled and nodded, "Okay, Grandma, take a look at what Xiaobei picked."
She didn't really have high hopes for what the child picked out, but Xiaobei was so young and she knew how to pick out gifts for her. Just based on this fact, she liked the child even more.
Things or anything, it doesn’t matter.
However, when Yang Fang opened it and saw the finely crafted red scarf inside, she was stunned. Wasn't this the new batch of scarves that had arrived in Hai City?
I heard that one piece costs more than ten yuan, which is almost half a month's salary for an ordinary worker. It is very expensive, but the workmanship and materials are really good.
"Xiaobei...did you pick this?"
She subconsciously reached out and touched it carefully. Yes, it was this texture and this workmanship.
Gu Xiaobei raised his head and smiled proudly, "Yes, I picked it. Grandma, do you like it?"
Yang Fang touched his chubby little face and said, "I like it, I like it."
Even though he didn't give her anything, she still loved the child very much.
"Qinglin, your wife really gave you a good son. He is so well behaved. I love him just by looking at him."
Gu Qinglin glanced at Shen Man and said, "Xiao Bei is indeed very well behaved."
If his parents saw this, I don't know how painful it would be.
Shen Man didn't notice the man's gaze. She was still very happy to see that her mother liked Xiao Bei.
After all, truth will come out sooner or later. What if something gets discovered?
"I also brought a gift for my aunt."
Gu Xiaobei came out from Yang Fang's arms again and placed the remaining bags, large and small, in front of Shen Man one by one.
"This is a silk scarf, the same style as grandma's but in a different color. And this is a pair of small leather shoes for my aunt, they look really nice. This one is a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, also for my aunt as a snack..."
In a short while, Shen Man's front was filled with a lot of things, including food, clothes, and toys.
